Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

[Not you...? Why do you like playing the riddle game so much? Where are you? You really don't want to tell me directly? Fine, fine, I'll find you later and teach you a lesson... You really won't tell me?]

No matter how much the time threatened her, she did not speak.

It seems I really can only rely on myself.

He came to a deserted alley and summoned Esther.

"Brother Chen~" As soon as Esther came out, she grabbed his hand and looked up at him with a smile on her face.

Shi Chen smiled and ruffled her hair, then looked around and asked, "Estelle, are you familiar with this place?"

Since "she" asked him to bring Esther along, she might know about this place.

"here?"

Esther peeked around, looking left and right, then shook her head: "Not familiar with her."

"Not familiar with each other?"

"Hmm, I don't think I've been to this place before."

"Never been here before... Well, let's take a look around first."

"Good~"

Shichen took Esther's hand and led her on a tour of the world.

This world is somewhat similar to the world of Konosuba; the roads are paved with stone slabs, the buildings resemble those of the Middle Ages, and most importantly, the passersby have their own unique characteristics.

Their hair was mostly gold, red, or brown, with some even in green and blue. As for their clothing, some wore armor, some wore costumes like dancers, and others were covered in black robes.

Just like adventurers.

Moreover, subhumans are everywhere; looking around, you see either dog ears or cat ears, or mutants who look like lizards.

The atmosphere of another world rushed towards me.

Since "she" said that once he arrived, he would know what this place was, it must be a world he was familiar with.

Another world... huh?

Just as he was about to make a guess, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in spacetime, not far away!

He pulled Esther along and quickened his pace to catch up.

......

"Excuse me, may I ask what exactly you want?"

"You don't seem to understand your own position? Fine, just hand over your valuables to avoid getting hurt."

"Ah, I knew it... Sigh, it really is like that, this is terrible..."

When the time came, they saw a young man dressed in sportswear, clearly a modern person, being surrounded by several thugs.

Those men were around twenty years old, and their inherent wickedness was fully revealed on their faces; they were not good people.

The situation was unfavorable for the boy. The moment Shi Chen saw him, he knew what kind of world this was. No wonder "she" had asked him if he was familiar with it.

That fruit stall is quite obvious.

But he had just arrived, so how could he have thought of that all at once?

Shi Chen didn't rush to help, but instead concealed himself and observed the situation quietly, mainly because he saw that the boy seemed eager to try.

Moreover, his appearance was slightly different from what Shi Chen remembered.

"...Hmph~ Maybe the gravity here is one-tenth of what it is in my world...Okay, I can do it! I'll defeat you all and make you food for my bright future, plus experience points!" The boy in the tracksuit shouted to the sky, cheering himself on, his face full of excitement.

"What's this guy muttering about?"

"I don't quite understand what he's saying, but I know he thinks we're idiots. Let's kill him."

"Kill me? That's my line! You'll regret this, hah!" The boy in the tracksuit suddenly threw a punch at the burly thug who was leading the group.

Caught off guard, the burly thug was struck squarely on the bridge of his nose by a fist, however...

"Ouch—!" the boy in the tracksuit cried out in pain, his fist bleeding as he pulled it back.

"This is the first time I've ever hit someone! It hurt more than I expected!"

Although he looked a bit disheveled, the burly thug was knocked to the ground.

"what?!"

"You guy!"

"good chance!"

The boy in sportswear, disregarding martial ethics, leaped towards a surprised man and delivered a precise, arcing kick to the man's side of the head.

The man crashed into the wall, slipped to the ground, and fainted on the spot.

"Hahaha! As expected of the settings in this world, I am very strong! My adrenaline is surging, so I am incredibly strong—uh."

Before the boy in the tracksuit could even feel happy, he saw someone holding a gleaming knife.

thump!

Without hesitation, he knelt down, his upper body folded perfectly, his forehead rubbing against the ground, performing a full-body squat.

"I'm so sorry! It's all my fault. Please, have mercy on me and spare my life!"

The boy in the tracksuit shouted very loudly and showed no shame whatsoever, his surrender was on full display.

"Heh~ Where's your arrogance from just now?" The man took out a knife and slapped him in the face.

"Stop wasting time talking to him. This guy even attacked me. Just kill him."

"That's right! Just kill him and search him."

"Huh?" The boy in the tracksuit looked up blankly at the other two.

He then realized that the two people who should have collapsed had come back to life. Although one was pressing his face, which was bleeding from his nose, and the other was shaking his head to wake up, they were both surprisingly energetic.

"Huh?! Is this all my one-hit kill is capable of? Where did the truth of time travel go?"

"You're still talking in a way that no one can understand. You've got some nerve!"

boom!

The burly thug who had been punched in the nose kicked him, sending the boy in the tracksuit flying sideways and crashing into the wall before sliding to the ground.

“It hurts—”

"It's not over yet."

Another person, fully awake, walked over and stomped on his face, trampling him hard.

"Uh-"

The boy in the tracksuit screamed in pain as one side of his face scraped against the ground, drawing blood.

The man wasn't finished; he started punching and kicking him, and all he could do was hug himself and curl up desperately.

"Brother Chen, aren't we going to help?" Esther asked Shi Chen as she watched this scene.

"Do you want to help? Do you know him?" Shi Chen asked in return.

"I do have some recollection of it, but whether I help or not is irrelevant," Esther said casually.

"Really? Don't rush, he seems to really want to resist... Okay, we have to help."

"It can still move? Trying to resist? Useless!"

"court death!"

"It hurts! Ouch—! It really hurts! Please stop hitting me, please let me go, I know I was wrong! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

The boy in the tracksuit tried to get up and fight back, but the big man saw through his plan and stepped on his hand, trampling and ravaging it.

The man with the knife gripped it tightly, ready to stab him.

"How dare you look down on us! I'll cut off your finger!"

"W-what? No... Help! No—"

"Alright, alright, that's enough." Shi Chen appeared at the alley entrance at just the right moment.

"Eh?"

"Ok?"

The thugs and the boy in the tracksuit looked at the hour.

"who are you?"

"That outfit! You're not wearing the same clothes as me, are you?"

Compared to the puzzled thugs, the boy in the tracksuit became excited because Shi Chen was wearing modern clothes, which meant that he might be a time traveler like him!

Shi Chen nodded to the boy in the sportswear before replying, "I was just a kind passerby."

"A kind person? So, you're very brave?"

"Please, I'm super brave, okay?"

"Another one trying to underestimate us... This little girl next to you is really nice~"

"I estimate it can fetch a good price."

"You can play around with it first..."

"You can die now."

Shi Chen, speaking coldly to the thugs, raised his hand, gathering a storm in his palm, which swept towards the three thugs.

"Varied--!"

"Ugh!"

The storm swept the three of them up into the air, with wind blades constantly cutting them, and blood fell like raindrops.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them fell silent and disappeared, leaving the sky completely quiet.

"Uh......"

The boy in the tracksuit stared blankly at the sky, his face ashen.
