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

Sesame Rin smiled and said, "Since you invited me, I'll definitely come and see."

Lu Nan led her to a chair and handed her a menu: "What would you like to eat?"

He glanced around, then secretly leaned over and pointed at the menu, whispering, "This, this, and this are delicious! And the ingredients just arrived today, all packaged!"

Shima Rin almost burst out laughing: "Okay, then let's have these you recommended."

Lu Nan patted his chest and gave an OK sign, but as he turned to leave, Sesame Rin called him back.

Her usually calm and collected demeanor now held a hint of slyness: "Isn't that a bit odd? Perhaps some services weren't provided for me?"

Sesame Rin smiled, resting her chin on her hand: "Could it be that I was taken advantage of because we're acquaintances?"

Lu Nan was a little embarrassed. Maintaining her persona in front of strangers was fine, but doing so in front of acquaintances required more composure.

But since Shima Rin has said that, it doesn't seem right not to do it...

So Lu Nan stuck his neck out and decided to strike immediately. He walked to Sesame Rin's side, bent down, and said with a humble and aggrieved expression, "No~ I was just too excited when you came and forgot."

Sesame Rin's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Lu Nan in front of her, she suddenly realized something.

It seems I underestimated this guy's charm when he acts cute.

Lu Nan blinked: "Why aren't you saying anything? Haven't you forgiven me yet?"

He crouched down and leaned over the table, so all that Shima Rin could see was her head: "Shima Rin, say something, are you not going to talk to me if you don't say anything?"

Sesame Rin stared blankly at Lu Nan, suddenly feeling an urge to give him a good smack on the head.

I initially thought Lu Nan might not be suited for this job, but surprisingly, he's found it quite easy to do...

"No, I forgive you. You can go ahead and do your work." Shima Rin looked away, feeling a bit thirsty. "And could you get me a juice while you're at it..."

Lu Nan stood up with a smug smile: "Okay, I'll bring it to you personally later."

Cricket, sesame seeds, hmph!

Lu Nan couldn't help but feel a little proud. All his practice yesterday hadn't been for nothing; his skills had improved again. If this continued, becoming the top salesperson would be just around the corner!

It's all technology, so just learn it!

After finishing reporting his order to Qiuyue Hongye, Lu Nan couldn't help but touch his neck.

Why do I feel a little itchy? Is it just my imagination?

Behind him, Sesame Rin stared at Lu Nan's neck, lost in thought.

I always feel like something's missing, like a pink choker that's the right size and made of excellent material.

Perhaps adding a chain would be better?

Sesame Rin thought to herself, and just thinking about Lu Nan in that scene made her feel... inexplicably excited.

……

As lunchtime approached, more and more customers arrived, and Lu Nan found it increasingly difficult to slack off, becoming extremely busy.

Sesame Rin saw that he was busy, so she paid the bill and left, but she felt that the way she looked at her before she left was a little strange.

Moreover, he discovered something very serious.

The customers he dealt with were much more difficult than those his predecessors had dealt with.

After all, the guests that the older generation dealt with were mostly just people they needed to chat with.

The guests didn't dare to lay a hand on anyone, but if they said anything slightly off-putting, they would be met with menacing stares from the kitchen.

The store manager and Akizuki Koyo were both quite tall, and it was indeed quite intimidating to see them staring straight at people in the kitchen while holding cleavers.

His guests, on the other hand, were quite different. Some of them told dirty jokes that he couldn't stand, some secretly touched his butt when he turned around, and some even "accidentally" spilled water on him and asked him to blow on it.

Lu Nan now wishes he could hang a sign around his neck that says "I perform but don't sell my body."

You're asking about Daimiao? He's even worse off. He's like an angel wandering through hell. If he's not careful while walking around the store, he'll be pulled over by a group of female customers, and then several of them will surround him like spider demons devouring Tang Sanzang.

The scene was extremely terrifying; when the cat came out, it was completely dazed.

That's terrible, so terrible!

Lu Nan couldn't help but sigh. It's really not easy to make money these days.

Chapter 26 The Cawing Birds

"You've worked hard~"

In the staff break room, Dino, the store manager, handed Lu Nan, who was slumped over his desk, unable to get up, a glass of warm water.

"And what about Daimiao... Where's Daimiao?" Shopkeeper Dino looked around. Logically speaking, Daimiao shouldn't be too far from Lu Nan.

Lu Nan pointed tremblingly to the door: "Dai Miao, Dai Miao threw herself into the encirclement of those female devils to cover my retreat! Waaaaah!"

Lu Nan covered his face and wept.

"Uh..." Dino, the store manager, scratched his cheek and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, I didn't expect business to be so booming lately."

Lu Nan remained slumped on the table, unable to move, and mumbled, "It's alright, manager. This is a good thing, there's nothing to apologize for. It's probably because school is about to start so everyone is making the most of their time to have fun."

Looking at Lu Nan's haggard face, Dino felt even more guilty and decided to make a bold decision.

"Lu Nan, how about this, you go out to eat later."

"Huh?" Lu Nan looked up in surprise.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Just find a table outside and sit down to eat. Consider it your approved break time. You don't need to eat in the staff break room and start working right away. You can rest a little longer."

Lu Nan's eyes welled up with tears: "I'm so sorry, Manager Dino, for thinking of hanging you from the lamppost just now! I'm so sorry, sob sob!"

"You really should apologize... Remember to bring Dai Miao along too, or the cafe will turn into a cat cafe."

……

When Lu Nanfei finally managed to rescue Dai Miao, there were still two lipstick marks on his face.

At this moment, Dai Miao was in Lu Nan's arms, looking completely dazed: "Boss, boss, it seems like some hooligan touched my butt!"

Lu Nan said calmly, "It's alright, silly cat. Even the boss got touched."

"Boss, you'll easily turn into a squeaking bird like that, meow."

"Ouch... Stop talking! I'll tickle your ass!"

Lu Nan and Dai Miao found a less conspicuous spot and prepared to sit down and start slacking off openly. Especially when they saw the envious looks in Ri Xiangbei's eyes, they felt that slacking off was even more enjoyable, hahaha!

Lu Nan waved smugly, and Hyuga Chiho reluctantly walked over.

"Guest! Is there anything I can help you with?"

You're even emphasizing the word "guest" now? Hajifan, you rascal.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just ordering something... By the way, any recommendations?" Lu Nan asked somewhat teasingly.

Hyuga Chiho rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "What else do you recommend? Isn't this what I taught you yesterday? You ungrateful man."

Lu Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and casually ordered two set meals before letting Hinata go.

He was just showing off; he didn't really intend to offend anyone.

Perhaps he had learned from his senior, because it was now Meixiang who delivered the food. Lu Nan shrank back and didn't dare to utter a sound of smugness.

After all, this guy really does look at people like they're trash if he doesn't agree with them at all, while Lu Nan doesn't have that strange quirk of Dino, the shop manager.

The fast food was served quickly, and Lu Nan and Dai Miao enjoyed their meal. In a way, this could be considered a meal treated by Manager Dino.

After having a good meal, Lu Nan and Dai Miao decided to go for a walk to digest their food.

Okay, actually I just wanted to be lazy and slack off, which is only human nature.

Dino, the store manager, had no objections, but simply reminded Lu Nan to remember to wear the store's staff uniform when leaving.

Waving goodbye to Lu Nan as he went out for a stroll, Dino, the store manager, could no longer suppress his smile.

Hehehe! How many customers will I attract by going around like this? I can't even imagine!

……

"Hey, Dazed, try this." Lu Nan handed over a cotton candy almost as big as Dazed's head: "It's delicious."

Little Silly Cat's eyes lit up as she took it: "Thank you, Boss Cat!"

Lu Nan patted the silly cat's head affectionately: "Be careful not to get it on your face."

Lu Nan looked around and felt something was off. Why did everyone seem to be looking at him? What was so interesting about him?

Lu Nan was a little confused, but then thought it didn't really matter. Let him look, it wouldn't hurt him.

The pedestrian street is quite large. After wandering around the south side of the street a few times, I lost interest. After all, I didn't have much money. What's the point of just looking without buying anything? I might as well go back to work.

After buying two more ice cream cones and giving one to Dai Miao, Lu Nan prepared to go back.

Go straight... turn... go straight... turn again... hey!

Lu Nan, who was looking down at the navigation, was startled. He almost bumped into the girl coming from the opposite direction when he turned the corner, but luckily he reacted quickly and turned around to avoid her.

But the silly cat behind it didn't react in time and crashed headfirst into it.

Lu Nan was startled and quickly pulled Dai Miao over to check if she was injured. She was indeed unharmed, but the ice cream cone in her hand was probably not going to survive.

Lu Nan turned his head and found that the other half of the ice cream cone had been completely spilled on the girl's legs.

Seeing this, Lu Nan quickly asked Dai Miao to take out a pack of tissues from her small pocket. Lu Nan picked up the tissues somewhat embarrassedly, stood up, and wanted to hand them to the girl to apologize.

To Lu Nan's astonishment, the beautiful blue-haired girl in front of him was actually in tears.

Lu Nan was shocked. It wasn't a girl, it was just a little ice cream on her leg, could it be serious? Dude, I'll pay you back, okay? Don't cry!

Lu Nan knew perfectly well why Dino, the store manager, had made him wear a waiter's uniform and stroll around, but wasn't this situation clearly problematic? This was practically reverse advertising!

Seeing the increasingly strange looks from those around him, Lu Nan's forehead began to bead with cold sweat. What if someone took a picture of this and posted it on social media...?

Lu Nan's pupils suddenly trembled.

[Shocking! A man did this in broad daylight...] [A young girl sheds tears! Is this a sign of a lack of humanity or a decline in morality?]

Once these titles are removed, Lu Nan can pack his bags and leave. Not only him, but even Dino, the store manager, can forget about continuing to run the store.

I reckon it's time to pack up and head back to my hometown in Rome.
