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

Nana glanced at Chisa, who was still in a daze, looked her over, and then pulled her into her arms, chuckling to herself.

Lu Nan led the Kotegawa family to find seats. It was close to closing time, and there weren't many customers left, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Iori to come out and do such a big job.

Even if it affects the store's business, which would be terrible, Dino, the store manager, is still very good to him and Daimiao.

By the way, the maid outfit wasn't from the store; Lu Nan asked Dai Miao to go out and buy it from another store, specifically a small size.

This even cost a huge sum of 150 coins.

I might not be willing to lend money to Iori Ronan, but I'd be more than willing to spend money to mess with him.

At this moment, Iori also borrowed clothes from the kind store manager Dino. She walked out of the staff break room with a pained expression. She was almost beaten up by the green-haired store clerk as a pervert as soon as she went in.

That wretched Lu Nan...

Iori sat down next to Lu Nan and nudged him.

Lu Nan, not to be outdone, retaliated with his elbow.

Seeing the two, Iori and Izumi, suddenly together, pushing and elbowing each other, Nanaka smiled with satisfaction.

"They have such a good relationship, that's great. Iori has made some really good friends as soon as she arrived."

Iori grinned through gritted teeth and said, "Yeah, we really are good friends, you fake scumbag."

Lu Nan stroked the silly cat with a smile: "Barking like a dog? Have you forgotten how you begged me just now?"

sunset.

The atmosphere inside the Stile café was peaceful.

Dino, the store manager, was catching up with Uncle Kotegawa, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Lu Nan and Yi Zhi were elbowing each other.

The little kitten is eating the snacks that Nana-chan brought.

Nanaka was inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from Chisa.

Hinata and Maika pretended to wipe the tables and chairs while eavesdropping on the conversation between Manager Dino and Uncle Kotegawa.

Meanwhile, Akizuki Koyo was battling six unwashed pots all by herself in the kitchen, looking quite "happy".

Everyone has a bright future.

"Lu Nan, come here for a moment," Uncle Kotegawa greeted with a smile.

Lu Nan immediately abandoned Iori and joined the small circle of Uncle Kotegawa and Manager Dino.

Uncle Kotegawa laughed and said, "Lu Nan, you did a great job. Dino really praised you. When you come back to Grand Blue tonight, I'll treat you to dinner. You've really made me proud."

Dino also stuffed an envelope into Lunan and Daimiao's hands: "This is today's wages, six hundred coins each. You did a really great job today. Please take care of me tomorrow too."

Looking at the bulging envelope in his hand, Lu Nan couldn't help but smile: "Leave it to me! It'll be fine!"

"Leave it to meow! I'll definitely mess it up, meow!"

"Well, it's almost time to get off work. See you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow! Manager, seniors!

After saying goodbye to everyone at the 'Stile' café, Lu Nan boarded the Kotegawa family's large van.

Uncle Kotegawa put on his sunglasses: "Let's go! Time to go home! Call A-Shi and A-Ji, Uncle's treating you to barbecue tonight!"

When Iori returned from the restroom, she and Dino, who was already pulling down the roller shutter, sat facing each other in silence.

"...left?"

"……Correct."

Iori was running wildly on the road at night.

"I haven't gotten on the bus yet! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

Chapter 22 The True Wine Master

Iori managed to catch the bus at the next intersection, thanks to Uncle Kotegawa's "keen" observation that someone was missing.

Sitting in the car, Iori felt like dying. What had she done all day? In the morning, she had wandered around the crowded pedestrian street wearing only her underwear.

In the afternoon, Lu Nan gave me a hard time, even making me wear a maid outfit and almost leaving me stranded on the street.

Iori closed her eyes in anguish, feeling that her dream life was slipping further and further away from her.

What exactly went wrong?

What? Uncle Kotegawa is treating us to barbecue tonight?

Hooray! I'm alive again!

Lu Nan watched as Iori's face turned ashen one moment and then suddenly became excited the next, and couldn't help but scratch his head.

Did I go a little too far? Look what I've done to Iori.

Never mind him for now.

Lu Nan looked at the bulging envelope in his hand and drooled with laughter. He had earned 1,200 Federal Credits in just one day! At this rate, paying tuition would be no problem at all, and he would even have some left over to buy a lot of nice things for Dai Miao.

"Boss! So much money, meow!" Dumb Meow excitedly opened the envelope and hugged a large handful of Federal Currency.

Lu Nan grinned and gave Dai Miao's little head a good rub: "Then Dai Miao, keep it safe. Don't lose it. You can pay for whatever you want to buy later."

Lu Nan also opened the envelope, excitedly touching his hard-earned prize. He counted the envelopes one by one, his satisfaction evident.

But as he was counting, one Alliance Coin suddenly disappeared. Lu Nan paused for a moment, then remembered something and immediately turned the Coins into a red-hot token.

Holy crap, you *** gathering place, you do nothing all day but stare at the little bit of money in my hand and keep deducting it, are you some kind of yuri king, how can you be so stingy.

I'm really going to fuck you.

However, speaking of the Gathering Hall, Lu Nan suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't dealt with yet, which was the Palico assistant contract that the Gathering Hall rewarded him with after he helped Boss Jianzi drive away the evil spirit on the bus.

This thing is for signing a contract with Palico, becoming partners who accompany each other for life... What marriage agreement? I don't know, don't talk nonsense, people can't, or at least shouldn't.

There's not much to say about how to handle this; it's definitely going to be given to Daimiao directly.

Great partners!

After receiving it, Dai Miao pressed her cat paw print onto it without even looking at it. Although it was a round piece, it still worked successfully.

This reward is great for Lu Nan. He can ask Dai Miao for help next time he encounters a similar situation on the bus.

Let's forgive the gathering place since the reward wasn't bad this time.

The van was very noisy because Chisa, who had recovered, was demanding that Iori compensate her for her bracelet.

Iori, however, believed that it shouldn't be her fault and that Lu Nan should be the one to pay compensation.

The two argued fiercely about this.

Uncle Kotegawa drove with a smile towards Grand Blue.

Lu Nan was momentarily lost in thought. Home?

When will I and my cat finally have a home?

"Boss?" Dai Miao turned her head in confusion.

Lu Nan was smiling as he patted the silly cat's head.

Don't worry, it will come eventually.

……

"cheers!"

A barbecue grill has been set up at the entrance of Grand Blue, and Uncle Kotegawa is still busy in front of the grill wearing his little cat pink apron.

Today is not only to celebrate Lu Nan's successful work, but also to have a small banquet to welcome Iori back.

At a small table nearby, everyone was raising their glasses in high spirits.

"For Lu Nan's first job to be profitable!" Senior Ah Shou shouted loudly, as if he was even happier than Lu Nan.

"To celebrate Daimiao's successful first job!" Senior Shi also raised his glass, after all, Daimiao was his junior from junior school.

"Cheers to Iori's arrival!!!"

"The seniors just want to drink, right?" Lu Nan said with a smile.

"Hahaha! We've been found out. After all, things are already so crazy over there, it's making everyone envious." Senior Shou pointed to the other side of the table.

"Ton ton ton ton ton..."

"Meow meow ton ton meow meow ton ton..."

It was Iori and Daimiao. Perhaps Lu Nan's comment last time, "You might not even be able to outdrink Daimiao," broke Iori's defenses. They couldn't wait to have a contest with Daimiao as soon as they started eating barbecue.

"You're really motivated! Let's get started, Shi!"

"Yoshi! Shou!"

The two seniors gave each other a high five and issued a challenge to Lu Nan.

"These seniors are really persistent... Well then, I'll play along!" Lu Nan was naturally fearless.

"Seriously, what's wrong with these guys..." Chisa sipped her drink, completely baffled as to why they were drinking like this.

That's insane.

"Well, it's all about having fun, having fun is the most important thing." Nanaka put down the barbecue and called out with a smile, "The barbecue's here! Don't drink too much, or you won't be able to eat!"

"Pfft!" Senior A-Shou wiped his mouth, his expression twisted as he looked at Lu Nan, whose expression remained almost unchanged as if he were drinking water: "Damn it, is he really that strong?"

Lu Nan gave a wicked smile, raised his thumb, and then slowly lowered it.

"Wait for me to grab some barbecue." Senior Ah Shou grabbed a handful of fatty bits and ate them all in one go. After chewing and filling his stomach, he raised his glass: "One more time!"

"Pfft!" Iori slumped onto the table: "I'm so sorry... I couldn't let Master Doom drink to his heart's content..."

The silly cat put down its wine glass, squinted its eyes, and let out a burp: "Iori, weak cat."

Lu Nan handed Dai Miao a skewer of gluten: "Alright, don't just drink, eat something."

Seeing how strong this duo was, and that Hiibu Iori had already been defeated at lightning speed, Toki and Shou exchanged a glance with serious expressions.
