Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

"This is really scary... I hope we can survive a few more days underground."

"Alright! Mission accomplished!"

The Metaron alien inserted the last wire into the door frame, clapped his hands, and announced a great success.

"Uncle Balji, why don't you try the camera? Let's see if it's accurate."

"Alright! Watch me!"

The Balgi alien sitting at the bar immediately ran out excitedly, his fierce face looming right in front of the camera.

"Hey, did you see that clearly? This is my handsome face."

"Drip—zzzz—"

A blue light flashed from the machine, and the next second, a mechanical voice came from above the door frame:

"Face detected - Welcome back, Babar alien."

"..."

"?"

The smile on the Balgi alien's face froze instantly, and his face turned yellow.

"Who is that GZZ, Babar?! I'm from Balgi Alien! Balgi!!!"

"Ah..."

The Metaron alien standing to the side scratched his head awkwardly.

"It seems the recognition accuracy is a bit off... It needs some further refinement..."

The tavern erupted in laughter, the previously subdued atmosphere completely shattered by this absurd identification.

……

"Miss Hayasaka, watch my footwork carefully. When you exert force, don't stiffen your waist. Let it flow like water along your spine to your fist."

In the suite's private gym area, Hong Kai was giving extremely professional practical guidance to the punching bag in front of him.

The next second—bang!

Hong Kai swiftly threw a side punch, and the heavy sandbag exploded with a dull thud.

“I’ve learned a lot, Mr. Kay.”

Hayasaka Ai, standing to the side, watched the scene intently, nodding occasionally to indicate that she understood.

At the edge of the fitness area, Duanzi Rei and Shinomiya Kaguya sat side by side on the bench press bench, watching while drinking juice.

Their obedient, timid sitting posture gave the impression of elementary school students watching their teacher give a lesson.

"Hayasaka has always had a high level of fighting talent, but Mr. Kai is the first person who can make her listen so attentively."

Kaguya sighed softly.

"That's right, Kessan's fighting experience is absolutely top-notch, if I have to say anything else."

Duan Zilian took a sip of juice and said sincerely.

"Everyone! Dinner's ready!"

Just then, Hibino Mirai's energetic voice came from the direction of the restaurant.

"Alright! Class time is over! Lunch is served!"

The next second, Hong Kai landed firmly in first place with a beautiful somersault, and casually wiped the sweat from his face.

Everyone responded enthusiastically, gathering around the long table in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, chatting and laughing.

The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the table, giving the dinner a dazzling golden hue, creating an indescribably warm and cozy scene.

Chapter 141 The Wanderer's Return

Several delicious dishes with an enticing aroma were laid out on the table.

A bubbling sukiyaki pot sits beside golden-brown, crispy tempura, thick-cut bluefin tuna belly, and the extra-large curry rice that I'll be specializing in in the future.

Looking at the delicious food in front of them, Duan Zilian and Hong Kai couldn't help but shed tears.

"I'm starting to eat!!!"

As four voices, each carrying its own emotion, rang out simultaneously, everyone picked up their chopsticks.

"Mmm! This is the familiar taste!"

Hong Kai was the first to let out a satisfied sigh.

Duan Zilian, on the other hand, stuffed meat into her mouth without even looking up, nodding in agreement.

"I never expected Mr. Hibino's cooking skills to be so superb. Even the professional chefs at the Shinomiya family would probably feel the pressure."

Hayasaka Ai took a bite of the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside tempura, and her blue eyes instantly sparkled with tiny stars.

"Haha, you flatter me."

Hibino Mirai watched the scene of people wolfing down their food and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled and took off her apron.

For him, the happiest thing is seeing his companions and friends healed by the dishes he made himself.

In the future, pull out a chair and sit down to enjoy this sumptuous dinner together.

"It feels like... I've gone back to the time I spent in Chiba."

Kaguya Shinomiya sat in her seat, her eyes crinkling as she looked at the noisy group of people in front of her.

In this room, she had completely abandoned her airs as a young lady from a wealthy family.

Rather, she seems more like an ordinary girl having dinner with friends during her vacation.

"You can come anytime you want to eat. I've decided to entrust my future to you as my private chef."

Hong Kai made the boastful suggestion.

"Hey, Kaisan! Don't sell out Mirai-san so easily!"

Duan Zilian laughed and scolded from the side, which made everyone laugh as well.

As they ate, Hong Kai began to complain to Danzi Lian and Kaguya Hayasaka about his troubles that day.

"You have no idea how difficult it has been for me and my future partner to find jobs today!"

Hong Kai tapped the rim of his bowl with his chopsticks, making a vivid accusation.

First, they went to a film set they had worked on before but were rejected because they were too handsome and it affected the male lead. Then they went to work as waiters at a restaurant, but Mirai was chosen while he wasn't. He was so angry that he grabbed Mirai and ran away.

"After going around in circles, I ended up going back to a chain convenience store to return to my old job, and maybe even take my future with me."

Hong Kai sighed and continued:

"Things were going fairly smoothly until ten minutes before you arrived, when I saw a man and a woman squatting and smoking at the back door of the convenience store."

He pointed to the future on the side, "I was afraid of corrupting the children, so I was prepared to resign the next day. Luckily, Miss Shinomiya helped us out, otherwise we would have starved to death."

After hearing this, Wei Lai scratched his head sheepishly and smiled helplessly.

Listening to this vivid and engaging "Vagabond Job Hunting Story," Danzi Rei and Shinomiya Kaguya were amused and giggled, even Hayasaka Ai, who always pays attention to her manners, couldn't help but cover her mouth.

……

After a satisfying meal, everyone lazily nestled on the soft sofa.

A sports match from Antwerp is being broadcast on a huge television screen.

"Speaking of which, Duan..."

Hayasaka Ai turned her head to look at Danzi Rei, who was hugging a cushion and staring blankly.

"Didn't you prepare a gift for Mr. Kai? Why haven't you taken it out yet?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot. When I came in, the room was so impressive that I just put it on the cabinet in the entryway."

Duan Zilian suddenly realized what was happening and slapped her forehead.

"A gift?" Hong Kai raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Wait a minute."

Duan Zilian stood up and ran quickly toward the entrance.

A short while later, he returned carrying a small, exquisite paper bag and stopped in front of Hong Kai.

"Ahem... well." Duan Zilian cleared her throat somewhat awkwardly.

"Although you often exploit me as a senior, you are actually quite reliable at times."

Duan Zilian looked away somewhat embarrassedly and handed over the paper bag.

"Didn't you say you could play the harmonica when we were in Chiba? I happened to pass by a music store while shopping today, so I bought one for you."

"Consider it...a souvenir from your trip."

"Huh?..."

Hong Kai was somewhat taken aback.

He took the heavy paper bag in a daze and pulled out a harmonica that gleamed with silver light.

He stroked the harmonica lying quietly in his palm, his fingers curling slightly, momentarily stunned.

"For...for me?"

"What else could it be? Is it for me?"

Duan Zilian rolled her eyes, but then a smile inadvertently appeared on her face.

"..."

The cool metallic touch came from his fingertips, but Hong Kai had never felt his heart burning so hot.

For thousands of years, starting from planet O-50, he has been wandering alone in every corner of the universe like a rootless duckweed.

Apart from those few cards, he seemed to have left nothing behind and taken nothing with him.

He thought he had long been used to this loneliness.

Hong Kai felt a warmth in the corner of his eye, as if something very important had been planted in his heart.

But being a proud and solitary wanderer, he still managed to hide it well.

Surrounding them, Mirai, Kaguya, and Hayasaka all watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

The next second, Hong Kai shook his head and slowly raised his head.

"Not bad, kid."

Hong Kai patted Duan Zilian's shoulder with relief and force.

"You actually know to buy gifts for your seniors now! Looks like you've really grown up after all that freeloading!"

"Hey! I kindly gave you a gift, and you didn't even say thank you?! Where's your gratitude?!"

Duan Zilian was slapped so hard she grimaced, strongly condemning Hong Kai's shameless behavior.

"Duan Jun, actually, Kai Sang is super happy right now."

In the future, the ruthless one exposed Hong Kai's pretense, saying, "He's just not used to expressing his emotions in front of so many people."

"Future! You're so long-winded!"

Hong Kai's face flushed red, as if he had been stepped on.

He quickly cleared his throat and sat up straight on the sofa to cover up his embarrassment.

"Sigh! There's no other way."

Hong Kai skillfully twirled the harmonica in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Since the juniors have presented you with the instruments, as your seniors, I should at least show them to you."

As soon as he said that, everyone applauded and their eyes fell on the wanderer.

Hong Kai took a deep breath, his eyes becoming melancholy and profound.

He slowly brought the harmonica to his lips.
