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

"Let me try! Let me try!" Lu Nan pulled up Senior Ah Shou, rubbed his hands together, sat down in front of the computer screen, and clicked load: "Watch closely, I'll give you a one-life clear!"

......

Four minutes later, Lu Nan, who had given away four first bloods, gloriously retired, leaving the stage amidst laughter and shameful shouts.

"Remember to eat, Nana-chan is urging us!" Lu Nan said stubbornly before leaving Iori's room, where the battle was still raging.

"No way, Iori, are you even human? You can't even dodge this boss's tentacle attack?"

"It's stuck!"

Finally, it was his own guest room. Senior Zi should be here. Lu Nan knocked on the door, waited for a while but there was no sound from inside, so he pushed the door open and went in.

It seems the fire burned out last night. Senior Zi hasn't gotten up yet and is fast asleep in bed. Her sleeping posture is terrible; the blanket has been kicked far away, only covering one foot. She's only wearing her inner layer, and her sleeping position is so restless. Isn't she afraid of catching a cold?

Lu Nan walked over helplessly, shook Hamaoka Azusa's arm and whispered, "Azusa-senpai, Azusa-senpai? Get up and eat."

Hamaoka Azusa opened her eyes, still a little dazed, her eyes filled with confusion and mist, as if she hadn't fully woken up.

"Just five more minutes of sleep..."

After saying that, she used her foot to hook the blanket and wrap herself up to lie down again, but Lu Nan had no intention of letting her continue sleeping and directly snatched the blanket away.

Hamaoka Azusa rubbed her head and sat up: "Alright, alright, I'm up now! That's so unfair... I stayed up so late last night because of you, and now you won't let me get some rest. That's too much."

Lu Nan looked helpless, feeling that in Azusa's words, his chastity was even easier to lose than the eroge character he had just played with in Iori's room.

"Get up and eat, Azusa-senpai. Nanaka-nee made braised pork ribs tonight."

Hamaoka Azusa stretched out a big yawn, and Lu Nan blushed and turned his head away at the sight of her beautiful figure.

"Okay, I'll get up right away. But you, aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to watch your senior shower and change? I don't mind, though."

Hamaoka Azusa blinked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Nan immediately woke up from his sleepiness, sat cross-legged on the spot, and stared intently at the scene.

This has stumped Hamaoka Azusa; the story isn't going to go like this!

Lu Nan's direct gaze made even this seasoned driver, with her vast theoretical and practical experience, blush.

"Senior, aren't you going to take a shower? Didn't you say you didn't mind?" Lu Nan tilted her head and asked in a naive and innocent manner.

Hamaoka Azusa sighed. Well, whatever.

"Senior, you're wrong. You can go out now. I'll be right there."

Lu Nan walked out the door with a smug smile on his face, like a victorious general.

Back at the dining table, Chisa was playing with the silly cat, her face still a little red. When she saw Lu Nan come out, she asked casually, "Iori... what are you doing?"

Lu Nan shrugged: "It's nothing, just playing games, playing games normally."

Chisa rolled her eyes. After all that commotion, it's normal? You're kidding me.

Lu Nan didn't intend to explain too much. Anyway, he wasn't the one being misunderstood as a pervert. What he cared more about now was the spare ribs in Sister Nana's pot.

Wow, it smells so good!

"The ribs are here~" Uncle Kotegawa placed the ribs that Lu Nan had been longing for on the table, picked one up with his finger and fed it to Dai Miao, asking with a smile, "Is it good, Dai Miao?"

The silly cat nodded its head repeatedly, its eyes shining: "Delicious, meow! Super delicious, meow!"

"Hahahaha!" Uncle Kotegawa laughed heartily. "If it's delicious, eat more later. Have Toki and the others come out yet?"

Before Lu Nan could answer, Senior Shi's deep voice came from behind him: "Here he comes. I was completely captivated by the fragrance in the room."

Iori lunged forward to grab a rib, but Chisa slapped her hand away.

"Go wash your hands!" Chisa glared at her. "Otherwise, you're not allowed to eat."

"Just wash your hands, why are you being so fierce?" Iori muttered as she went to wash her hands.

The area around the dining table gradually became lively, reaching its peak when Hamaoka Azusa came out drying her hair.

Lu Nan really enjoyed the lively atmosphere; it made him feel very connected to the world.

As if possessed, he picked up his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Sesame Rin, who replied almost instantly.

【Sesame balls】: Wow! It looks lively.

[Super Hunter Lu Xiaonan]: Yes, I made some very good friends.

[Sesame Sesame Balls]: That's great, I'm so happy!

【Super Hunter Lu Xiaonan】: You're starting to sound more and more like your mother.

【Sesame Sesame Dumplings】: Stop fooling around, eat your food properly, I'm going to take a shower.

Lu Nan pursed his lips. If you don't want to talk, then don't. I'm going to take a shower.

Whether Sesame Rin read his mind or not, another photo was sent from the other end very soon.

The photo appears to be taken in the bathroom. Shima Rin is blushing slightly, her lake-blue hair is tied into a small bun, and there's a little bit of foam on her neck. Below that is a large expanse of snow-white skin, yet it's kept so that no one can see anything. Clearly, Shima Rin isn't just giving him a perfunctory reply; in fact, she's replying to his message while taking a shower.

Little sesame dumplings after bathing

Lu Nan quickly saved the photo and then sent a message saying, "Then you can keep washing. If you fall, remember to tell me and I'll come in and save you."

After receiving a rude remark, Lu Nan contentedly put his phone away.

"Holy crap! You guys eat that fast?! My ribs are gone!"

Chapter 31 Luck

With the start of the school year drawing ever closer, Lu Nan's life is gradually getting back on track.

Every time Lu Nan went to pay his room fee at Grand Blue, Uncle Kotegawa would always change the subject, and in the end, he would just tell Lu Nan to pay when he had spare money after school started, as he wasn't in a hurry.

Nana-chan makes lots of delicious food every day, but she never asks for money.

Iori seems to have been influenced by him as well, and she seems to be busy looking for a job lately. A couple of days ago, she even barged into his room to ask him how much he still had left to save for his tuition.

Senior Ashi and Ashi haven't been drinking much lately; they seem to be busy with something. When I occasionally see them in Grand Blue, I always give them an encouraging smile or pat them on the shoulder.

At Stiel, Dino, the store manager, always found ways to give him extra work. When he left work, the words he said most often were, "Lu Nan and Dai Miao also worked hard today. Hardworking employees deserve a reward. Here's a bonus!"

Whether it was Hinata-senpai, Maika-senpai, Akizuki-senpai, or Hoshikawa-senpai, they all took special care of him, making him feel a little embarrassed, even though he was a grown man...

Speaking of which, Banai saw her classmate return the money two days later, barging in with a bulging wallet, which startled everyone. She continued to come back for meals afterward, so it seems this place really suited her taste.

Shima Rin would send him messages every day to ask about his recent situation, and she also subtly inquired about his thoughts on the start of school, and even hinted that she had a little money.

.......

The night is always quiet and gentle. After taking a shower, Lu Nan pounced on the bed, startling the silly cat who was playing a game.

"Meow! Boss! It sounds like an earthquake!"

The silly cat hurriedly tried to drag him away, leaving Lu Nan both amused and exasperated.

"Dai Miao." Lu Nan gently stroked Dai Miao's little head.

Dumb Cat tilted its head in confusion: "What's wrong, boss? Are you unhappy, meow?"

Lu Nan shook his head: "No, we're really happy, Dai Miao, you know what? We're so lucky, everyone here is such a nice person."

Dumb Cat scratched his little head, seemingly not quite understanding what his boss was saying, but one thing he did understand: "That's right! Dumb Cat has incredibly good luck!"

Lu Nan was amused by that simple-minded look: "Why are you suddenly saying that?"

The silly cat raised its little head, looking very proud: "Because I met the boss! Becoming the boss's partner is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me!"

Looking at the little creature in front of him, Lu Nan suddenly smiled even more: "No, it's the boss who's luckier, because finding Dai Miao is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to the boss in his life."

"Dumb cat is the luckiest cat ever!"

"The boss is the one!"

"Then the boss and Silly Cat are the luckiest cats!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

Lu Nan turned on the small light; it was late and time to sleep.

"Hey Meow, it's Sunday tomorrow, no work. Want to go shopping with your boss? I'll buy you some catnip!"

"Yay! Boss is the best, meow!"

......

The next day, Lu Nan unusually didn't get up early and stayed in bed with Dai Miao for a long time, not getting up until lunchtime.

Just as they stepped out of the room, it was almost time for dinner. As expected, timing was everything. Lu Nan rubbed his hands together and led Dai Miao straight to their seats.

Iori muttered to himself that the convenience store owner he had found for a part-time job probably had some mental issues, which made Lu Nan curious.

"Oh my god, you have no idea! Every day when I go to work, I have to check the inventory first, and then check it again after I leave. I remember I applied for a cashier job, how did I become a slave? And that's not all, I also have to watch the security cameras and provide smiling service. The daily wage is so pittance, what's there to smile about!"

"A couple of days ago, a female customer with black hair and golden eyes came in. She faced me with a blank expression, and before she left, she seemed to be about to cry. The store manager insisted that it was because I was too ugly and scared her to tears, so I just..." Iori poured out her grievances to Lu Nan, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lu Nan was almost laughing himself silly. He roughly knew who the black-haired, golden-eyed guest was, and in any case, this whole thing really wasn't Iori's fault.

"You're still laughing! Damn it... you silly girl! Iori, I'm so sad! Let me pet you to ease my sorrow..."

Lunch ended with some lighthearted jokes from Iori about work. Lu Nan said hello and then prepared to take Dai Miao out for a stroll.

The main purpose of coming out was to buy the promised catnip for Dai Miao. Other than that, I was just bored and wandering around to see if I could trigger the gathering hall quest. It hasn't been working since the last bus ride. I wonder if it's because I was arrested by the Time and Space Administration for accepting cross-border black money.

Wood catnip is quite easy to buy. Lu Nan specifically went to a pet store to inquire and then customized a lollipop-shaped one, which Dai Miao can lick as soon as it's held.

In addition, Lu Nan discovered something else: among the native Hajimes in this world, Dai Miao is probably on par with Daniel Wu (a famous Chinese actor known for his handsome looks). Walking around the pet store, a large group of Hajimes would frantically court each other through their cages.

But Dumbcat is Dumbcat, not Hajime, and can't understand the native cat language.

Lu Nan and Dai Miao were walking down the street. Dai Miao was holding a little stick and looked very happy. She was hopping and skipping as she walked. She didn't want to bite too much, so she ate it in small bites. Lu Nan felt both sorry for her and amused.

It's all his fault as the boss; he'll make sure Dai Miao has lollipop freedom sooner or later!

Lu Nan is now planning to buy some small decorations to give to Shima Rin as a way to express his gratitude, as Shima Rin had really helped him so much before.

Lu Nan searched for reliable shops in the vicinity on his phone. The unethical map recommended a jewelry store called "Godmother of Gods" to him, but the name sounded strange. It didn't sound like a jewelry store, but more like one of those shops that swindled people by doing fortune telling or astrology.

However, Lu Nan still decided to go and take a look, hoping to find a nice accessory. Perhaps one with a fancy pattern would look better, since young girls all like that kind of thing.

The shops are not far apart, just two streets away. You can get there by turning a corner on the south side of the road and going through a small alley.
