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

As she spoke, she stretched and said, "I should be able to leave work early today."

Gengping looked at Lu Nan: "Then let's go back after we buy dinner. It's your turn to cook today, right?"

"Okay, let's make stir-fried shredded potatoes with ginger tonight. Whoever gets the ginger first has to do the dishes."

"Are you not planning to put potatoes in at all?"

Lu Nan was shocked: "You found out about all of that?"

"Damn it."

Maki leaned over and said, "Hey, I have an idea. How about we all go out for a meal together today?"

She smiled and said, "It's a pity that there wasn't a welcome party when you came."

Iori scratched her head: "But we're going back tomorrow."

"Let's treat it as a welcome party and a farewell party at the same time!" Maki looked at Yuko: "What do you say, supervisor?"

Yuko nodded: "Okay, it would be nice if we could all have a meal together!"

Maki looked at everyone: "Does everyone have time?"

"Of course it's okay."

"OK, meow~"

……

"This is the restaurant I recommended. The food is really good for the locals. What do you all think?" Maki introduced enthusiastically.

Lu Nan pointed to Iori and Kohei, who were eating like pigs, and said, "These two have eaten so much that I don't think they need any more praise."

"I'm so glad you like it." Maki said with pride, feeling that her treasure trove of a shop had finally been recognized.

Iori looked up and leaned towards Lu Nan, as if she wanted to say something.

Lu Nan slapped Iori's face away with a look of disgust: "Can you finish eating before you come closer, and wipe your mouth, you jerk?"

After a while, Iori came over again and asked, "By the way, is it really okay for you to eat so much, Dazed? Aren't you working out lately?"

"Of course I know!" Lu Nan glared at Yi Zhi, then looked at Dai Miao with a pained expression: "But our little Dai Miao is already thinner than she was tomorrow! How can she have the energy to work out if she's not well-fed?"

Iori silently turned his head away. He was completely speechless at this doting parent. It was only because the cat was well-behaved that it would have become a brat long ago.

Maki smiled and suggested, "It's a rare occasion to have a farewell party, so let's all say a few words! For example, what's the most memorable thing that happened these past few days?"

"The one that left the deepest impression on me..."

Lu Nan: "Dai Miao mistook me for an aphrodisiac and downloaded all sorts of porn and erotic content on my phone."

Dumb Cat: "I thought Boss was really going to die, meow, it scared me to death, meow..."

Mana Yoshihara: "Now I know men don't die from cracked groins..."

Iori: "To be honest, it felt kind of good to make Kohei look bad on TV."

Kohei: "It's really beneath me to be mistaken for having an affair with those two guys."

Maki twitched her lips: "What kind of nonsense is this..."

She looked at Chisa, who seemed a little distracted, and asked, "What about Chisa?"

Chisa lowered her head and said, "I... I understand how difficult the job of a diving instructor is."

"Such a serious answer." Maki was a little unaccustomed to this, but it also reminded her.

She turned to the others and asked, "What are your thoughts on this job?"

“Well…” Yoshihara Aina thought for a moment, “I didn’t expect the physical labor here to be so strenuous.”

Iori nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Yuko laughed and said, "After all, there are a lot of heavy things. What about Kohei?"

"I think entertaining guests is even more tiring." Kohei seemed to recall some unpleasant scenes, and his face fell again. He was the least capable of dealing with strangers.

"After all, everyone has areas they're not good at, what about Lu Nan and Dai Miao?"

Lu Nan thought for a moment: "If I had to say, it's that the guests are a bit too enthusiastic and I can't handle it. Even though I've told them many times that I'm still at work, some people still want to drag me out to play... Other than that, everything else is fine."

Dumb Cat nodded: "We're pretty much the same, meow. We always get customers telling us we don't need to work hard anymore and we can go home with them, meow... I'm totally not interested, meow."

The crowd watched in silence as the person and the cat continued eating, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "These two succubi..."

Maki stretched and said, "It was tough when I first started working, but I'm used to it now."

"Is this how everyone feels when they first start?" Yoshihara Mana asked. "So, Maki-nee, which part do you think is the hardest?"

“There are many,” Maki said, resting her chin on her hand. “But I think the hardest thing is to keep smiling all the time.”

"This is quite surprising," Iori said curiously. "Isn't Maki always smiling?"

Maki smiled helplessly: "I'm just putting on a brave face."

She shrugged: "But in the end, I'm just an ordinary person, and sometimes I can't even smile."

The three of them nodded in agreement.

"Ah, we understand what you're saying, for example..."

"For example, when the cat is in the car."

"For example, when you have a hangover."

"For example, when I hear that a friend has a girlfriend."

Yoshihara Aina sighed, "Did something get mixed in? And can you give me some good examples?"

Maki nodded: "Haha, but the description is quite accurate."

“For our guests, this day must be a very special one,” Yuko said, raising her glass. “But to us, it’s just an ordinary day.”

Maki said helplessly, "But we also have times when we're not feeling well or in a bad mood, and then we just can't muster any energy."

Yuko sighed softly, "It's really hard to keep smiling in this situation."

"I see……"

Chapter 379 Anger and Despondency

"So, Chisa, if you were to go into this line of work, it would be very tough," Yuko said.

“Yeah…” Chisa lowered her head: “Um… do you guys think I’m really suited for this line of work?”

"Well..."

"Everyone has different work styles..."

Just as Yuko was about to comfort Chisa, Sayaka looked up and interrupted her.

“That’s not appropriate.” Sayeva leaned back in his chair. “You just like the sea and diving.”

"Manager—" Yuko said with a hint of reproach. No matter what, you should encourage children.

But Sayaka didn't pay any attention and just kept talking to herself.

"If you continue to be so straightforward and unable to adapt to changing circumstances, I can already imagine how much you will suffer because of it in the future."

Sayerhua shook his head: "So I advise you to find a regular job and treat diving as a hobby..."

"...I didn't ask you."

Chisa's voice was very soft, and Sayaka didn't even hear it clearly for a moment.

"what?"

Chisa suddenly stood up and shouted, "I didn't ask Mom for her opinion!!"

The atmosphere at the table instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Chisa looked at everyone's gazes, pursed her lips, whispered an apology, and left her seat.

Iori stood up and wanted to chase after him, but Lu Nan quickly grabbed the lovestruck girl.

Seeing the puzzled look in Iori's eyes, Lu Nan shook his head.

Sayaka looked in the direction Chisa had left, adjusted her sunglasses, and said nothing.

……

Temporary dormitory for employees —

"Kotegawa really got angry." Kohei still couldn't believe it. "This is the first time I've ever seen her like that."

“Who says otherwise?” Lu Nan didn’t know why things had suddenly turned out this way.

The atmosphere seemed fine at the time; the three of them were even talking about what local specialties to buy before leaving. Suddenly, Chisa did this, which startled Iori, who was talking about buying erotic books, so much that he thought he had broken a law.

Lu Nan looked at Iori, who was drinking alone beside him: "Do you know what happened? Are you still sulking? I pulled you back then because Chisa's mother was still sitting there. What was the point of you suddenly following her?"

“Yes, I understand.” Iori shook her head: “But I really don’t know the inside story. However, given my aunt’s personality, it’s certain that the two of them have some friction.”

Yoshihara Aina suddenly remembered what Chisa had said last night, and her expression fell.

"I'll try to find out tomorrow." Iori put down his beer, feeling dejected. "I should probably go to sleep now."

"Okay, I'll go rest too." Kohei followed Iori back to his room.

Lu Nan poked the silly cat's bulging belly and asked out of the blue, "Is this really okay?"

Yoshihara Aina withdrew her gaze from the person: "What? Me?"

Lu Nan nodded speechlessly: "Otherwise what? Are you asking about ghosts?"

Yoshihara Aina chuckled awkwardly: "I thought you were asking about that silly girl... What do you want to ask?"

"Dai Miao is already asleep. Last night, when she found out I was alright, the little guy was worried and couldn't sleep for a long time." Lu Nan looked at Dai Miao in his arms with a helpless expression: "We only have the next two days to stay in Palau, you know?"

Lu Nan turned to look at Yoshihara Aina: "Don't you still have one goal of your own to achieve?"

Yoshihara Aina turned her head away guiltily: "I don't have any goals."

"Whatever you want," Lu Nan shrugged, not really caring.

Yoshihara Aina said softly, "But no matter what, we can't always let the girls take the initiative."
