Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

“You weren’t here yesterday, and Senior Shi came over to ask if we wanted to go out and work. Since the bonus is only enough for travel expenses, we still have to pay for the rest ourselves. He asked if we wanted to go with him.”

Lu Nan was taken aback. If that was the case, then he needed to make money now, otherwise what would he do if he didn't have money to buy alcohol?

"Wait, isn't that great? Senior Shi found a pretty good job, right? How much money are you making? We can't really have you two working as male escorts, one under the alias Kyoyu Tachibana and the other under the alias Gnik, can we?"

Chapter 154 Secret Code

"What the hell are you saying?" Iori glared at Lu Nan: "Stop saying things that are easy to get reported!"

“That’s true, but the job A-senpai found was with a moving company.” Kohei weakly raised his hand. “After a day’s work, I feel like I’m going to die, bro. Those Tifa discs under my bed…”

"No need for thanks," Lu Nan refused. "Then what about your salaries?"

The two exchanged a silent glance and then pulled out more than fifty yuan.

"That's all?" Lu Nan's eyes widened. "Holy crap! Undocumented labor?!"

Iori scratched his head: "Well, it's not really. It's just that after we finished work, we went to a beer hall for drinks, and before we knew it..."

Lu Nan nodded, understanding. He had brought this upon himself.

"Making money is really a difficult problem," Kohei sighed, looking up at the sky.

"What are you doing?" Banai asked as the three approached.

"Nothing much, just thinking about the cost of the shared accommodation. These two got their energy drained by some random beer hall they happened to pass by," Lu Nan said, shrugging.

"That's how it is when you go to a bar for drinks, isn't it?" Hamaoka Azusa placed her hand on Dazed's head and patted it. "By the way, Dazed, have you gained weight? Have you been eating too much these past few days?"

The silly cat froze: "What, how could this be, meow? This is water retention, meow, how could this be, meow, hahaha..."

"Don't scare our little silly cat." Lu Nan glanced helplessly at Hamaoka Azusa, stuck out her tongue, and stopped teasing the silly cat.

"By the way, where is Senior Shi today?" Lu Nan asked curiously.

He said he was going to earn back the money he spent yesterday.

"Then you two should go too," Yoshihara Aina said.

"That kind of physical work can't be done continuously." Kohei raised his arm, which was still trembling a little.

“Speaking of which, Senior Ashou isn’t here either.” Yagami glanced around again.

"As for Kotobuki, he's probably gone to work too," Hamaoka Azusa said.

Lu Nan and his two companions immediately became interested and began to speculate.

"They're the ones who solicit customers at the brothels." Iori held up one finger.

“It could also be a dance performance.” Kohei stroked his chin and nodded.

"No, no, no, it could also be being a rented boyfriend or something..." Lu Nan said seriously.

"I'd like to say, isn't there something slightly odd about your impressions of Senior Shou?" Yoshihara Aina said helplessly, covering her forehead.

"Hahahaha." Hamaoka Azusa was amused by these three clowns. "It's not like that, but since we're on the topic, how about we go check out where Kotobuki works?"

......

Bar Routes is one of the many bars in Blue Ocean City, but it is very popular among students because of its focus on a quiet bar and good value for money. It is a great place to have a quiet drink.

"Welcome." Senior A-Shou, who was wiping wine glasses, looked up and said when he heard the customer enter.

"Yay! We're here to play!" Hamaoka Azusa shouted, holding up the doe-cat.

"Come play, meow!" Silly Meow raised her hand.

"So, Senior Shou's job is as a bartender," Hanami exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's amazing." Yoshihara Aina said with some admiration. Bartenders are a profession that often appears in TV dramas.

“And it looks very suitable for you, senior,” Chisa said.

"It's just a part-time job, done occasionally," Senior Ah Shou said with a smile. He turned to the three stunned people, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Why are you all so stunned?"

The three of them were now lost in a strange fantasy.

In Lu Nan's imagination, Senior Ashou is not an ordinary bartender, but an underground contact person lurking in the tavern. Ordering a Bloody Mary with three-tenths sugar will trigger a special event.

In Iori's imagination, Senior Asou held up the bill and grinned wickedly at the customer, saying, "You've spent two hundred thousand yen. Will you pay or leave your little finger?" If he didn't pay, he would whistle and summon a bunch of crows that would overturn the table.

In Kohei's imagination, Senior Shou was the kind of person who would start dancing every night, dancing around a pole while taking off his clothes, wearing shiny gold underwear and shouting "come~ come~", surrounded by a bunch of middle-aged women stuffing money into his hands.

Lu Nan leaned against the bar, looking around as if checking for any hidden cops: "A Bloody Mary with 30% sugar, please. Who's the assassination target tonight?"

Iori held his hands in front of him with a fierce expression, as if he was ready to fight the sudden gangster boss at any moment.

Kohei knelt down with a deep bow: "Thank you for your hard work for the club!"

Senior Ashou looked completely bewildered.

"Are those three idiots doing something stupid again?" Banami looked speechlessly at the chaos in front of her.

"What do they think this is?" Chisa sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"It's just an ordinary shop, you know." Hamaoka Azusa smiled helplessly and placed the order in front of the three girls: "Look, there's no overcharging, everything is very cheap."

“They’re all twenty dollars each,” Banami exclaimed in surprise.

"Because the owner's goal in opening the shop is to ensure that students can fully enjoy themselves here," Senior A-Shou said with a smile, then looked helplessly at Lu Nan: "Also, there really aren't any weird ways to drink it, and why does it sound like some kind of secret code?"

“There are indeed many young guests.” Iori looked at the young girls who entered.

"Because this store is quite popular among young people, you know?" Senior Ah Shou greeted each customer who had just entered the store with a smile, welcoming them to their patronage.

"There are quite a few new faces here," a deep, magnetic voice said.

Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a well-fitting bartender's uniform with a neatly combed slicked-back hairstyle, holding a vase filled with roses.

"Ah, store manager, good evening." Bin Gangzi greeted her with a smile.

"Good evening." The shop manager glanced at the young people around him. "Are all of these Dragon Lord's juniors?"

"Yes," they all answered in unison.

“They said they wanted to see where Shou works,” Bin Gangzi said, shrugging. “So they brought them here.”

The store manager nodded and looked at the three boys and a kitten standing to the side: "So, how did you feel after watching it?"

Lu Nan: "Really, there's no secret code?"

Iori: "It feels so out of place."

Kohei: "When will he be fired?"

Dumb Cat: "Meow meow."

Banami: "Can you guys tone it down a bit?"

The shop manager laughed heartily a few times: "Dragon Lord's junior is quite an interesting person."

"However," he changed his tone abruptly, "the Dragon Lord is actually quite popular with the guests, you know?"

Following the shop manager's gaze, the group saw Senior Ashou talking to a beautiful female customer.

Chapter 155 Bartender

"Oh! I know this!" Yoshihara Aina exclaimed excitedly, "This is the bartender's counseling segment in the TV dramas!"

"Snow leopard, shut up and listen quietly."

"Oh."

......

"I have someone I like, but I don't know if we can get along well," the female customer sighed, looking very melancholy.

"Haha." Senior A-Shou chuckled, his hands still busy mixing the liquor. "Don't worry so much, just muster your courage and cheer yourself on."

"But~" the female customer still looked worried.

Senior Ah Shou smiled and pushed a cocktail in front of the female customer: "If things don't go well, I'll listen to your complaints all night long."

The female guest's eyes widened, her pupils trembled slightly, and she picked up her wine glass, saying somewhat shyly, "Perhaps I like Dragon Lord more now than him."

"Eh?"

......

"The world is going to the dogs, morals are deteriorating! What kind of scumbag talk is this! How can he say such a thing?!" Lu Nan was shocked.

"Boss, please cut him on the head." Iori pointed in that direction and said these very dangerous words with a calm expression.

"Please allow me to use a fork." Kohei's hand, gripping the fork, showed some bulging veins.

"I'm telling you guys, you should know when to stop," Banami quickly interrupted their lewd remarks.

"But this is strange!" Iori looked puzzled.

"How could someone be confessed to just by saying a few words? You know what I mean, Lu Nan." Kohei said with a face full of indignation.

Lu Nan suddenly fell silent.

"Lu Nan? Why aren't you saying anything?" Geng Ping's eyes looked over, seemingly filled with a fierce light.

Lu Nan shrugged: "You know, after the men's competition, there were always people confessing to me, but I didn't go to any of them. I also had Dai Miao throw away all the love letters."

Lu Nan sighed, "We haven't even said a word to each other yet."

Kohei and Iori fell silent, and finally decided to exclude this outsider from the discussion.

“So the only popular profession is bartender,” Iori and Kohei discussed, arm in arm, excluding the popular Lu Nan.

"No hair, that can only be a professional bonus." Kohei nodded.

"Is that really the case?" Lu Nan raised an eyebrow, thinking that these two people with their lightning-fast thought processes wouldn't understand.

"Although I think it's because Shou is naturally good at saying nice things, right? Speaking of which, Shou already has two girlfriends." Bin Gangzi casually dropped a bombshell, and several girls immediately swarmed around him like sharks smelling blood.

Although bigamy has long been abolished and having multiple girlfriends is not uncommon, it is still quite surprising that a senior who was usually so outspoken after drinking actually had two girlfriends.

The girls were chattering away, while the boys were being approached by the store manager.

The store manager smiled and held up some items: "So, would you guys like to give it a try together? I think you have a lot of talent."
