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

Banami was stunned, and her whole body slumped down like a deflated balloon, even her ahoge (cowlick) lay limply on her head.

"I know, if I had mustered up my courage sooner, perhaps..."

"Do not."

Lu Nan interrupted her again.

"?" Banai looked up at Lu Nan with a puzzled expression.

“I said no. Don’t romanticize the paths you didn’t take. Now that we’ve come this far, none of that matters. Don’t resent or regret what you didn’t do or what you did. These were decisions you made back then, and they can’t be changed.” Lu Nan said with a smile, “Don’t regret things you can’t change.”

Lu Nan quickly walked to Banami and opened the shop door for her: "Perhaps you can't regret your previous decision, but you can choose what you want to eat now. By the way, I recommend today's special set meal."

Lu Nan blinked, smiled, and bowed.

Banai chuckled to herself, "Well, this advertisement is really... flawless."

Now we have no choice but to spend money.

“Then let’s do as you say.” Banami walked into the store.

Lu Nan's demeanor suddenly changed, and he no longer resembled the optimistic and natural persona that Banami had always presented, but who seemed distant from everyone.

Now, judging from his expressions and actions, he seems more like an unloved pet welcoming its owner home, wanting to please but afraid of being rejected.

Banami was stunned, as if something in her heart had been touched.

"Sister, you're back! What would you like to eat? I'll prepare it properly," Lu Nan said with a smile. Dai Miao had already gone to the kitchen to serve the dishes. He would have to deal with about a dozen female guests by himself in a little while.

Banami picked up the menu and took a deep breath.

"This, this, this, this, and this!" Anna Hanami poked and prodded the menu with her fingers.

"Are you sure you can finish eating this?" Lu Nan was shocked and even lost his composure. He originally thought that he had just brought back a simple little girl, mainly to develop repeat customers, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"Tch, who do you think you are? Hurry up and bring it out!"

Chapter 29 I deserve to die!

Hesitantly, Lu Nan decided to ignore her. Since the customer said she wanted to eat, he would just give it to her. Could he refuse money that was being delivered to him?

"Remember to expedite my order~ I'm a little hungry now!" Banami waved, seemingly in a good mood.

Lu Nan paused, sometimes he really wondered if he would have to beg on the streets if Dai Miao had the same appetite.

It was probably the first time that Banami Anzu had encountered a restaurant that suited her taste so well. She ate until almost closing time before finally finishing. When Lu Nan finished get off work and changed his clothes, he happened to see this big eater Banami coming to pay the bill with satisfaction.

But as expected, something unexpected was about to happen. Hachimi Anzu pulled out her small purse, then her expression froze. She frantically rummaged through it again and again, only to find her phone was switched off. After pacing around for a while, Hachimi started praying to the heavens and earth, trying to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless her wallet so that money would grow in it.

It wasn't until the very end that she accepted the fact that she was now dining and dashing.

Seeing that the once-cute black-haired waitress in front of her was gradually turning dangerous, and that someone in the kitchen next to her seemed to be watching her as well, Banami had no choice but to reach out and grab Lunan, who was trying to run away.

Lu Nan paused for a moment, deciding that it would be best to pretend he hadn't seen anything and just run away. As for Banami... well, good luck to him. He was a man of principle!

But Banami clearly had no intention of letting go of his only lifeline. In the blink of an eye, Lu Nan saw Banami hugging Daimyo, looking like a hostage-taker.

"Help! Help! Help! I'll pay you back an extra three hundred Federal Credits!"

Lu Nan's principle melted away like cream: three hundred yuan, that's three hundred yuan!

Lu Nan sighed: "When are you going to pay me back? I need the money urgently."

I really don't know what to do with this woman. If it weren't for the fact that she broke up with her boyfriend today and I felt a little sorry for her, I probably wouldn't even give her a second glance.

Banami's pleading expression instantly brightened into a beaming smile, and she solemnly promised, "I'll return it to you in the next two days, no delays whatsoever, or I'll be stuck eating bitter melon for the rest of my life!"

Lu Nan nodded upon hearing this. He was quite satisfied with the vow, after all, he knew how much of a glutton Banami was. She hadn't stopped eating all afternoon, probably turning her grief and anger into appetite.

But Lu Nan added another layer of protection: "If you don't pay back the money on time, Adasi, you know my methods. I guarantee that your secret will be all over the school in less than three days."

Seeing this, Banai shrank back and timidly agreed.

"Holy crap! You ate 600 Federal Dollars in one afternoon?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Is this guy even human?

......

Lu Nan and Banai, who was holding a silly cat, boarded the bus. Don't ask why this woman was following along; she just didn't have money to go home and was trying to hitch a ride on the bus.

"Hey Lu Nan, you're already working before school even started? Are you working that hard?" Banai sat down on the back of Lu Nan's seat and asked with a gossipy look, "Are you in such a hurry to get money so you can save up to buy your girlfriend a gift? Do you want me to give you some advice?"

Lu Nan shook his head: "I don't have a girlfriend, and I'm not saving money for that kind of thing, but to raise tuition fees for the start of the semester."

Upon hearing this, Banami suddenly froze: "Min, mint tuition?"

The silly cat raised its little hand in her arms: "Yes, meow! The silly cat is also working hard to save up tuition fees for itself and the boss, meow!"

Seeing that Banai's lips moved a few times, she finally asked softly, "Then, don't your family care about you?"

Lu Nan looked out the window with an indifferent expression: "Family? I don't have any family. I only have one family member in this world."

Just as Banami was about to ask which one it was, she saw Daimyo proudly raise its little head.

Banami's pupils dilated in shock. What had she done?! She actually borrowed money from someone struggling to make a living just to satisfy her own appetite, and then reopened their wounds!

I'm such a jerk!

She didn't dare look Lu Nan and Dai Miao in the eye, and stammered, "I will pay you back your money as soon as possible, I promise."

Lu Nan turned his head and looked at her in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this woman again. Maybe she was hungry again?

Never mind her, it's a good thing anyway.

Soon, when Banai saw that Anja was about to get off the bus, she lowered her head and handed the doe to Lunan, saying with a serious expression, "Lunan, things will get better, they definitely will."

Lu Nan looked at Banami with a blank expression: "Uh... okay? Thanks."

Banami gave him another pep talk, then quickly got out of the car, her eyes red as if she was about to cry.

Lu Nan stared blankly down at the equally dazed Dai Miao: "Dai Miao, what's wrong with her?"

"Boss, I don't know either, meow."

"I don't know what to do. Let's go back to Grand Blue for dinner! I heard they're having pork ribs tonight!"

"Yay! Ribs Meow!"

......

We're back!

"You're back, meow!"

Nanaka and Uncle Kotegawa were busy behind the bar when they heard the voice and looked up to reply, "Welcome back."

Nanaka smiled and said, "What a coincidence, it's almost time to eat. Could you please go and call Chisa and Iori? Oh, by the way, Toki, Asou, and Azusa haven't left yet, could you call them too?"

Lu Nan gave an OK sign to indicate that there was absolutely no problem, and led Dai Miao to the battlefield like a general going into battle.

At the door of Chisa's room.

Lu Nan knocked on the door three times, neither too loud nor too soft: "Hey, Qian Sha, come out for dinner."

Chisa's voice quickly came from inside the room: "Okay, I'll be right out."

Lu Nan nodded and turned to go find Yi Zhi.

As soon as Lu Nan reached the door of Iori's room, he saw that the door was not closed. Just as Lu Nan was about to go in and call out, he suddenly heard a series of unpleasant sounds.

What the hell!

Lu Nan reacted instantly and quickly squatted down to cover Dai Miao's ears.

Chisa, who opened the door behind her, was also stunned and stood there for a moment, forgetting what she was supposed to do.

Wait, is this really that glamorous and oppressive, Iori? Isn't she even trying to hide it from people in broad daylight? She doesn't even close the door?!

Lu Nan cursed inwardly, thankfully he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have corrupted the pure and innocent Silly Cat.

Lu Nan shoved Dai Miao into Qian Sha's arms, signaling her to go first. Qian Sha didn't hesitate at all, grabbing Dai Miao and running away quickly.

Lu Nan rushed into the room, and sure enough, A Shi, A Shou, and Iori were sitting around the computer, which was playing something rather unpleasant.

"Seriously, what are you doing in broad daylight? Aren't you even going to put on an act? At least close the door!"

Senior Shi turned his head: "Ah, Lu Nan, you're off work?"

Iori turned her head and frowned: "It's just a game, isn't it common sense not to close the door?"

Lu Nan was even more speechless. Playing games without closing the door is fine, but playing eroge without closing the door? You're a real daredevil.

"What are you guys doing? Why are you suddenly playing this?"

Iori shook his finger with a knowing look: "No, no, no, this is no ordinary game."

Chapter 30 I'm going to take a shower

"Not just any game? What do you mean?" Lu Nan squinted, wanting to see how this guy would explain it. Could he possibly make a big deal out of playing eroge?

Iori stood up and made way for him, and Asou-senpai took his place.

"Shou and Shi-senpai didn't have work today and were a bit bored, so they came to me to play. They were tired of playing ordinary games, so I used my amazing wisdom." Iori looked very proud: "I said, why don't we play an eroge together, clear the game in one life, and whoever loses is out."

Lu Nan was stunned. "Wow, you guys are quite entertaining."

"So? What's the current situation?" Lu Nan was also curious; Iori's antics this time were quite interesting.

Iori stiffened and scratched his head: "Um... it seems we're all stuck for now."

After all, clearing the first life in the game is quite difficult.

Just as they were talking, Senior Shou suddenly let out a frustrated wail, and indescribable sounds immediately rang out from the computer, accompanied by Senior Shi's mocking laughter.

"Hahahaha, you actually fell for that trap?"

"Sigh, the key got stuck, it was a complete accident."

Iori gestured with her lips: "Hey, do you want to try it?"

Lu Nan's competitive spirit was indeed aroused. If he could do something that the three of them couldn't, wouldn't that be showing off like a super big shot?
