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

Lu Nan was bewildered by his excitement: "Ah... you hoo hoo."

Dino, the store manager, glanced at the time and smiled, "We'll open in an hour. Let me take you to greet the staff and familiarize you with the procedures."

Lu Nan nodded obediently: "Thank you for your trouble, store manager."

The silly cat nodded obediently: "Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper cat."

Store manager Dino led a person and a cat to the staff break room, where there were three other people.

Store manager Dino coughed twice to get attention, then smiled and introduced, "This is Lu Nan, and next to him is Dai Miao, our colleague for the next seven days."

A beautiful girl with pigtails greeted us with a smile: "Hello, my name is Hinata Chiho, I'm in charge of the lobby, and I have a tsundere personality."

Hyuga Chiho

A somewhat fierce-looking green-haired boy then said, "My name is Akizuki Momiji, I'm in charge of the kitchen, and I have a sharp tongue, so please take care of me."

Autumn Moon and Red Leaves

Finally, there was a black-haired woman who seemed a little shy, then suddenly became very serious: "I, my name is Sakuranomiya Maika, I'm in charge of the lobby, I'm a... a sadist, please take care of me..."

Sakuranomiya Maika

Dino chuckled and patted Lu Nan on the shoulder: "There's another one who's on leave today, I'll introduce him to you tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

There are way too many of those.

Lu Nan looked at Dino, the store manager, with a blank expression: "Uh... Manager, what's going on here..."

Lu Nan gestured, seemingly having some unspoken difficulties, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it some kind of extraordinary place?"

Dino was both amused and exasperated: "What?"

Lu Nan started gesturing again: "It's like that... tsundere, sadistic or something..."

"Oh, this."

He sighed: "You know, business is tough. There are too many similar stores. To stand out, you have to have a selling point. Our 'stile' uses attributes as its selling point."

Lu Nan nodded, seemingly understanding, "I get it. It means you're selling a persona, like in a maid cafe?"

Dino snapped his fingers: "That's roughly how you understand it. It's similar to cosplay; you just put on a persona to greet guests when you're working."

"Hesitate." Lu Nan understood: "Then which area are Dai Miao and I responsible for?"

Dino, the store manager, coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I originally told Uncle Kotegawa that we were short of waiters, but the truth is that recently, for some reason, there have been more female customers, so naturally we need some male staff to serve them..."

So they didn't say they were coming to cosplay.

But Lu Nan didn't care; making money was no shame.

"Dai Miao and I can accept it, but the clothing and attributes..."

Store manager Dino smiled and opened the display case: "Although we didn't prepare anything special, Lu Nan, you and I are about the same size. Although you're a bit stronger, this outfit will fit you. As for Little Cat..."

He pulled out some small accessories: "Just wear these little accessories, like small bow ties or small ties, that'll do."

"As for the attributes and character design..."

Store manager Dino scratched his head: "It is indeed a problem. I haven't thought about it either, because this kind of thing depends on whether it is suitable or not. For example, Miss Meixiang is naturally talented... Should we discuss it together?"

So Lu Nan was placed among the crowd as a model and kept under constant observation.

"Judging from his temperament... he seems more suited to a warm and gentle man?" Manager Dino scratched his chin.

"No, no, no, that's too ordinary." Akizuki Koyo rejected it on the spot.

"As for looks, he'd be perfect as the kind of senior student who's good at everything." Hyuga Chiho held up one finger.

"Chu □ Hang, right?" Qiu Yue Hongye retorted incisively.

"Um... how about I try the aloof and cool male god type with a straight face...?" Sakuranomiya Maika said weakly.

“But the temperament doesn’t match; there’s absolutely no aloofness.” Akizuki Koyo rejected it again.

Dino blushed and said, "No, this won't work, that won't work, if you can do it, then you do it!"

Chapter 18 Stray Puppy and Silly Kitten

Qiuyue Hongye knew she was being a bit picky, but there was no other way but to step up: "I'll go, I'll go, let me see."

He paced back and forth around Lu Nan, deep in thought.

“Like this.” Qiu Yue Hongye suddenly held up a finger, as if she had come up with a good idea: “Lu Nan, put on a wronged and sad expression.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Nan stretched his facial muscles for a while before finally managing to make a constipated expression.

The autumn moon and red leaves slowly formed a question mark.

"Haha... Sorry, sorry, I really don't know how to make that kind of expression." Lu Nan shrugged; he genuinely had no talent for acting.

In that case… Manager Dino thought for a moment and prepared to develop a targeted strategy to break through the defenses, based on what Uncle Kotegawa had told him.

"Oh, that's a pity. It seems you're not a good fit for our company." Manager Dino sighed softly. "It's a shame I had high hopes for you and was even planning to give you a raise."

The moment Lu Nan heard about the salary increase, he instantly woke up; but the moment he heard he was going to be fired, he broke down.

"Manager, please reconsider!"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Qiuyue Hongye clapped her hands excitedly: "That's the feeling of desolation and misery, like a stray dog ​​whose last bit of food has been stolen! Yes, it's just right!"

As if his meridians had been opened, he began to preach frantically to the two women in the room: "I could tell as soon as Brother Lu Nan came in. Although he is very gentle, his temperament makes people want to cry, doesn't it?"

He then secretly leaned closer and said, "And look at Brother Lu Nan, don't you feel a sense of familiarity with him, a feeling of closeness?"

Sakuranomiya Maika and Hinata Kaho exchanged a glance, then nodded hesitantly. It wasn't that they didn't understand, but they just felt that Akizuki Momiji seemed a bit off right now.

"That's right. In game terms, I think Brother Lu Nan has a special skill like a passive ability. For example, when two strangers meet, their intimacy level will vary depending on their first impression, but it will never be too high."

"At most, we'd just have a nodding acquaintance or something, but Brother Lu Nan is different. I reckon anyone who meets him will be instantly upgraded to a friendly level. I don't understand the principle behind it, but for our job, it's like a pure cheat code!"

Qiu Yue Hongye nodded repeatedly, and Lu Nan, realizing that the shopkeeper had only lied to him, breathed a sigh of relief.

After all this, it's clear that his persona here is... well... a total idiot.

Oh right, a stray puppy. Anyway, he just wants to act emo and pitiful. He's good at that. Back in his previous life on Earth, he used to play the victim and beg for KFC's Crazy Thursdays in group chats every day. It's his old profession.

In my past life, I also worked in Flamefire Village, following Flame around every day, doing odd jobs and making a living. It was the same for me.

Lu, the acting king, is online in an instant!

Now that there are no problems on Lu Nan's side, the next step is to solve Dai Miao's problem. What kind of persona would suit Dai Miao?

The crowd gathered around the dim-witted kitten and couldn't help but fall into thought.

In the end, it was actually the store manager who made the decision, saying that the silly cat was just fine as it was, and that the silly little cat should play the silly little cat.

And so the combination of the stray dog ​​and the silly cat was successfully completed.

Although Lu Nan felt something was off, he had been paid after all, and making money wasn't shameful.

"Alright, Lu Nan, is there anything else you want to ask me?" Manager Dino seemed to be in a very good mood and asked with a smile.

Lu Nan nodded. He did have some questions he was curious about, such as why the shop manager didn't have any attributes, and why the seemingly weak-looking Sakuranomiya Maika had a sadistic personality...

Just as he was about to ask a question, he noticed that the shop manager's gaze seemed to be elsewhere. Following his gaze, he saw it was Ms. Sakuranomiya Maika.

Meixiang squatted down in front of Daimiao, seemingly wanting to pet her. Originally, it was fine with Daimiao, and she didn't resist being petted on the head.

But the problem was that she seemed a little nervous, her hand trembling slightly as she reached out, her eyes suddenly becoming extremely fierce and serious, with a murderous intent almost palpable.

Little Hakimi was instantly stung by that look and immediately retreated to Lu Nan's side, crawling up his leg and onto his back: "Quack! Boss, save me! This woman looks like she's going to kill me!"

Lu Nan was completely stunned. Girl, you can pet a cat all you want, but why do you make that face and look? Are you a natural cat lover?

When Lu Nan turned his head, he discovered something even more outrageous. The seemingly reliable store manager, Dino, was now convulsing on the ground, ecstatic, even bleeding from his nose. He was in a daze, muttering things like "Sister, kill me," "So handsome," and "So good," which were completely incomprehensible.

Lu Nan suddenly realized that both of his original questions had been answered at this moment, and there was no need to say anything more.

Oh, so you play with the alphabet.

Stinky McDonald's.

……

"Hmph... Here we go again. I... I didn't really want you to keep coming to the store!"

Lu Nan, dressed in the standard uniform, stood in the rest area observing the work performance of his seniors. This was a requirement from the store manager that he should have at least some experience before starting work.

Golden Retrievers are quite proud and aloof. Although they have retired from their natural habitat, they are still fierce warriors despite their pride and arrogance.

Generally speaking, the customers who come to the store are quite specific, because there are signs at the entrance that provide detailed information. So, as soon as a customer enters the store, you can tell who to serve them.

His information will be added later. Hmm... I'm a little nervous. I'll learn from the experience of my seniors.

"Here we go again, you piece of trash. Just find somewhere to sit, even in the corner."

Lu Nan twitched his lips. Although he knew it was an act, Miss Meixiang was amazing because her eyes didn't look like she was acting at all.

The customers who usually come to her are the ones with the strongest purpose; they come to the store just to be scolded, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't get scolded every day.

I don't know if I should keep this experience.

Lu Nan sighed softly, squatted down, and patted the silly cat's head.

The little cat was currently munching on a sweet potato, which was Miss Meixiang's way of making up for scaring the little cat.

"Boss, you want some cat food too?"

"Daidiao, you can eat by yourself. Boss is about to start work."

I've learned enough experience; it's just a matter of adopting a persona.

It's a trap! It's all about creating a persona!

He absolutely had to get his hands on that money!

Store manager Dino walked in from outside and gave Lu Nan a look, the meaning of which was very clear: it's your turn to make the move!

Lu Nan stood up, walked into the lobby, and quietly waited for the guests to arrive.

Soon, two female guests entered, and their eyes, after scanning around, settled on him.

Lu Nan didn't expect the first test to come so quickly, but he wasn't afraid at all and went straight to it.
