Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

She stood there for a while, looking at the empty living room, then went to her usual spot, sat down, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea.

It was still hot, and it was the flavor she liked, but it seemed like she wouldn't be able to drink it for a while.

Their sudden arrival and departure brought her a life she had never experienced before, leaving her wondering how she would ever live alone again.

If he doesn't come back soon, I'll make him pay!

Chapter 68 Time Difference of the World

After leaving the world of Strike the Blood, Shi Chen returned to the main world defined by "her" in his mind.

That is, the world where Tohru and the others live.

The place where he returned was the same desolate wasteland he left behind, still deserted and overgrown with weeds.

There were no trams, and no longer that long-haired, starry-eyed girl in a baseball cap.

He looked around and found that nothing had changed, except that the weather was a little hotter.

It feels like summer here.

Has it been a month or two, or a year or two?

This is the situation he needs to figure out first.

The time difference between different worlds is important.

Shi Chen tried using spatial magic and found that it worked, so he went straight back to the coffee shop.

To avoid startling customers with a sudden appearance, the Time Space moved to its own room.

The room was quiet and empty, but a sense of familiarity washed over him instantly, making Shi Chen relax.

He looked around the room and it seemed that nothing had changed except that the blankets on the bed were not folded up. Was someone sleeping on his bed while he was away?

Is it Tohru or Chizuka?

The smell wasn't very strong.

Shichen directly ruled out Kasumigaoka Utaha, since it might be possible if she were alone, but with Tohru and Nishiki Chizuka present, she wouldn't risk being discovered by them by doing such a thing.

Their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.

I'm too lazy to guess the time; I'll just ask them later.

He went to the bedside table, took out his phone, and turned it on.

"Only a month has passed?" Shi Chen was a little surprised when he saw the time displayed on his phone screen.

So the time difference in the world is three to one?

Or is the time difference between the world of Strike the Blood and this world simply three to one?

Or perhaps, only a month has passed since he left and returned?

Shi Chen tried asking the "her" in his mind, and naturally, she didn't answer.

It seems he needs to figure it out himself.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Shi Chen plugged his phone into the charger, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside, followed by a golden figure appearing at the door.

"Lord Chen! It really is Lord Chen!" Thor's exquisite face beamed with a delighted smile as he pounced on Shi Chen.

Shi Chen was no longer afraid of her dribbling and bumping into people; he opened his arms and easily caught her.

"Thor, I'm back."

"Hmm! I suddenly smelled Lord Chen's scent, and I was right!" Thor hugged Shi Chen tightly, rubbing his head excitedly against his chest, his tail swishing back and forth.

"You can smell this?" Shi Chen hugged her tighter as well.

“Of course, I’m very sensitive to Lord Chen’s scent!” Thor raised his head and said proudly.

"Good, good, that's amazing." Shi Chen released one hand and rubbed her head.

"Hehe~"

"What about Chizuka and Utaha?"

"Shiha is at school, and Chizuka is still busy downstairs."

"You didn't even invite her to come?"

“I forgot.” Thor stuck out his tongue playfully.

"I think you did it on purpose." Shi Chen affectionately poked her nose, which was small and smooth.

"Hmph~" Thor seemed to be enjoying it, wrinkling his nose and humming softly.

"Let's go down and help Chizuka."

"it is good."

Thor clung tightly to Shichen's arm and followed him downstairs.

As I walked up the stairs, the lively sounds from downstairs grew even louder. It was lunchtime, and there must be quite a few people coming to eat.

It's supposed to be a coffee shop, but it's being turned into a restaurant. I'm not even sure if I've gone astray in opening this business.

However, opening a shop is secondary; what's important is having a home that belongs solely to you in this world.

Although it was obtained for free.

He still doesn't know whether the store existed before or only came into existence because of his arrival.

It's not something I absolutely need to figure out.

"Have you been busy lately?" On the stairs, Shichen turned to look at Thor and asked about his recent situation.

"It's alright, there's not much difference from before," Thor replied with a smile.

"Have you missed me?"

"Yes! I've been thinking about it!"

"Shouldn't I be looking downcast? You don't seem as unhappy as before."

"Hehe~ because I can hold back."

"very impressive."

"Shouldn't Lord Chen give me some reward?"

"What reward do you want?"

“Of course it is…” Thor didn’t finish her sentence, but just licked her lips and looked at him with a blissful expression.

Shi Chen naturally understood what she meant. He stopped and looked at her helplessly: "...You little pervert."

“It’s been a month already,” Thor pouted.

"You're already this impatient after just one month? I've had several... Never mind, have you told Chizuka and the others about our situation?"

"No, this is a secret between Lord Chen and me, why would I tell them?"

"I thought you would brag to them."

"Why are you showing off?" Thor tilted his head and asked blankly.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, it's fine."

“Lord Chen…” Thor stared at him and blinked.

"Hmm... if there's a chance." Shi Chen agreed reservedly, after all, it wasn't that he didn't want to.

Moreover, his strength has greatly increased, and he is determined to avenge the humiliation he suffered last time.

"I understand! I'll find an opportunity!" Thor said enthusiastically, his face full of anticipation.

"Um......"

Shi Chen pursed his lips, took another step, and led Thor into the shop.

"Thor, where have you been? Don't you know you're busy right now? Hurry up and do your work... Brother Chen!" Jinmu Qian Shu was still complaining about Thor, but when she turned her head, she saw the person she had been longing for and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Chizuka, I'm back." Shichen smiled gently and opened his arms to her.

"Brother Chen! I missed you so much!" Jinmu Qianshu put down the menu in her hand and rushed towards him.

Shi Chen hugged her, stroking her short platinum blonde hair with one hand, and softly replied, "I missed you too."

"Mmm!" Nishiki Chizuki nodded vigorously, tightening her arms around Shichen's back.

She was very strong, and Shi Chen clearly sensed something was wrong. He quickly patted her back and reminded her, "Qian Shu, calm down, or I'll break my back."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Chen." Jinmu Qianshu quickly let go of him and asked worriedly, "Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"It's okay, don't worry... Really, I'm right here, there's no need to hold me so tightly." Shi Chen smiled and rubbed her head.

"I just missed Brother Chen too much," Jinmu Qian Shu replied shyly.

"I can feel it, but the guests are watching now." Shi Chen gestured for her to look behind him.

Chizuka Nishiki turned around and noticed that all the guests were looking at her, and many of them were even smiling knowingly.

Of course, some people were envious.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you." Nishiki Chizuka apologized to the guests without any embarrassment.

"It's okay! As long as you're happy, Chizuka-chan."

"Yes, Chizuka-chan's beloved shop manager is finally back! We understand."

"It's okay to hug him a little longer!"

The guest wasn't angry; in fact, he spoke up for Nishiki Chizuka.

Shi Chen hadn't expected that Jinmu Qian Shu would become so popular with guests during the time he was away.

But what's up with Chizuka-chan?

Can you please stop trying to get too close to me?

"Thank you all for your understanding. How about this, I'll offer you a 50% discount today!" Shi Chen said generously to the guests.
