Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Shichen~ Shichen, wait for me." Kanna jumped off her chair and followed behind.

Shichen didn't wait for the two of them and arrived at the store first. At the door, a girl with long black hair that reached past her shoulders and wearing a dark blue and gray outfit that resembled a high school girl's uniform stood calmly.

The girl was very pretty. Although her expression was a bit cold, her youthful face was very delicate. If it weren't for the band-aid on her face, she would have looked quite beautiful.

Chapter 83 Inoue Takina

"that......"

The black-haired girl pulled her suitcase and slowly walked to Shichen.

"Hello, my name is Inoue Takina. I've been assigned here from today onwards. Please take good care of me."

The girl, Inoue Takina, had a flat expression and did not bow politely, giving the impression that she was in a bad mood.

"Assignment?" Just then, Kasumigaoka Utaha came to Tokiomi's side and asked in confusion.

"Shichen~ Shichen." Kanna arrived too, and she tugged at Shichen's pants.

"Come here." Shi Chen smiled, squatted down, and picked her up.

"Oh~" Kanna happily hugged his neck.

"Hello, are you Chizuka-senpai?" Inoue Takina asked Kasumigaoka Utaha without looking at the two of them.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback.

Inoue Takina continued calmly, "Chizuka-senpai, the commander ordered me to learn from you. Although it wasn't my wish, learning from the number one Lycoris would allow me to improve myself quickly. Let me return to headquarters as soon as possible."

“Um… I’m not Chizuka,” Kasumigaoka Utaha explained awkwardly.

“Then…” Inoue Takina hesitated for a moment and looked at the time.

Shi Chen blushed with embarrassment: "...Isn't that even more impossible? Didn't you just hear Kanna call me something?"

Inoue Takina frowned slightly: "Then, may I ask, Chizuka-senpai?"

"Don't worry, she'll be here soon. She's washing vegetables right now."

"Wash vegetables?" Inoue Takina frowned even more deeply.

"Please sit down first," Shi Chen gestured for her to sit on the stool next to him.

"No need, I'll just wait for Chizuka-senpai like this." Inoue Takina coldly refused.

"Fine......"

"That time..." Kasumigaoka Utaha tugged at Shichen's sleeve and asked curiously, "What does Lycoris mean?"

"do not worry about it."

"Stop trying to fool me!" Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched his arm in dissatisfaction.

"Hiss—I understand. Can I explain it to you later?"

"Hmph~" Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a soft snort before releasing him.

"Shichen, does it hurt?" Kanna asked caringly, gently rubbing the spot where Kasumigaoka Utaha had just pinched.

"It doesn't hurt~" Shichen couldn't help but rub against Kanna's chubby cheeks.

"That's good."

"Kanna is still the cutest."

"I'm really sorry I'm not cute." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him sideways.

"It's okay, you're not cute but you're pretty," Shi Chen comforted her with a smile.

"Tch~" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head away, not wanting him to see the corners of her mouth curling up.

"..." Takina Inoue, sitting opposite the three of them, watched their interaction, which resembled that of a family of three, with a blank expression.

Is this the place the commander sent her to study?

Is this where Lycoris, the number one, stays?

Is it really okay?

"Brother Chen, I'm here." Just then, Jinmu Qian Shu's lively voice rang out, and then she skipped out.

"Ah, Lycoris." Upon seeing Inoue Takina's appearance, Nishiki Chizuka immediately recognized her.

"Chizuka-senpai." Inoue Takina nodded to Nishiki Chizuka in greeting.

"Oh, how cute! What happened to the scar on your face? A medal?"

“No…” Inoue Takina paused for a moment, her expression a little strange, but she quickly regained her composure: “No, that’s not it.”

"Oh, I see. Welcome." Chitsuka Nishiki, in a very familiar manner, moved closer to Takina Inoue and put her arm around her.

"Yes, Chizuka-senpai."

"No need to be so formal, just call me Chizuka, you..."

"My name is Inoue Takina."

"Okay, then I'll call you Takina."

"I see......"

"Hehe~ Brother Chen." Jinmu Qianshu finally let go of her and excitedly moved closer to Shichen.

"We have a new employee in our store."

"...She's not here to be an employee." Shi Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Huh? Weren't you supposed to take care of her?"

"Can making her an employee be considered taking care of her?"

"We can't just let her eat and stay for free, can we?"

"You're quite good at taking care of your family, even though she got fired..."

“Um, I wasn’t fired!” Inoue Takina suddenly interjected.

"Uh..." Shichen was a little embarrassed, as it seemed that his conversation with Chizuka had been overheard.

"Ahem, is that so?"

"Yes, I wasn't fired, just demoted. I believe that by working with Chizuka-senpai to improve myself, I'll be able to go back soon."

"Huh? What's so good about DA?" Chizuka Nishiki couldn't help but complain.

"..." This left Inoue Takina speechless; for a moment, she couldn't think of anything good.

She was just like any other Lycoris, training, completing missions, and doing her best before leaving DA as an adult.

What are the advantages of DA?

Is it permissible to kill people at will?

Even she didn't think this was a good thing.

"Chizuka-senpai, why did you leave DA?"

"I told you not to take me so seriously, just call me Chizuka."

“Then… a thousand bundles.”

"Mmm!" Chizuka Nishiki nodded in satisfaction before explaining, "Actually, I left DA to find my savior!"

As she spoke, she hugged Shi Chen with a grin: "I want to live with Brother Chen! To live the life I want."

"Live the life you want...and date?"

"Oh dear~ I wouldn't say exactly, but you could say that." Chizuka Nishiki waved her hand sheepishly.

"Want to date?" Inoue Takina stared at Tokimitsu with a serious expression. This was something she had never thought about before.

However, she has absolutely no interest in it now.

"Hello, my name is Shi Chen." Shi Chen introduced himself when he saw her looking at him.

"Time?"

"Yes, I'm from China, and I own this coffee shop."

“I see… Well then, I’ll be keeping you here, Mr. Shi.”

"It's nothing, but just like Chizuka told me, you can't stay here for free."

"No problem, I can do any task."

"No, you don't need to do any missions. This isn't a place like DA. Just follow Chizuka and listen to her instructions."

"I see."

"Hehe~ Takina, I look forward to working with you from now on."

"Hmm." Inoue Takina nodded faintly.

"Chitsuka, why don't you help her set up the room first? We'll have dinner together later... Takina... is it okay if I call you that?"

"OK."

"Takina, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"No."

"Then we can eat together later."

"Ok."

"Takina, come with me." Chizuka Nishiki pulled Inoue Takina upstairs.

Once the two went upstairs, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't help but ask, "Alright, now you can tell me what's going on with Lycoris and DA, right?"

"Let me ask Chizuka if she's willing to reveal it first."
