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

"Ring ring—"

The doctor's cell phone suddenly rang in his white coat pocket.

"Hello...who is it? Huh? The director?!"

"Oh... Ah, I understand, I'll be right there!"

The doctor seemed to have received some imperial decree; his nonchalant expression instantly turned into anxiety, and he hurriedly hung up the phone and stood up.

"Um, I'm sorry, Hachiman, I suddenly have an emergency. I'll have to find another doctor to take care of you."

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could react, the middle-aged doctor shouted loudly towards the other end of the corridor.

"Hey... you new intern! What's your name again... Teppei, right? Come over here and take over. There's a patient here who got beaten up by a cat, and I'm handing him over to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who looked honest and simple walked down the corridor.

The doctor jogged over, patted the young man on the shoulder, gave him a few casual instructions, and strode away.

[This guy... actually assigned me to an intern whose name I can't even remember?]

Hachiman's anger had reached a critical point.

Just then, the young man named Teppei pulled out a chair and sat down properly in front of Hachiman.

As soon as he sat down, Teppei's gaze immediately locked onto the several bright red scratch marks on Hachiman's hand.

"Oh my...were you scratched by some wild animal?!"

Zheping suddenly leaned closer, his originally honest face instantly switching to a professional seriousness and focus.

"Ah... um. I was scratched by a stray cat on the street."

Hachiman answered somewhat awkwardly, taken aback by Hachiman's alarmed reaction.

"A scratch from a stray cat? That should not be taken lightly!"

Zheping straightened up and asked the question in rapid succession.

"Did you undergo basic disinfection procedures before you came? Did you wash with soap and water for fifteen minutes? Did you have any abnormal saliva secretion?"

Faced with this man's extremely serious and responsible question, Hachiman was momentarily stunned.

"No...no, I just wiped the blood off with a tissue and came straight to the hospital."

Even Hachiman's dead fish eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

"That won't do! Stray animals' paws and saliva can carry a lot of unknown pathogens. Although the incubation period for rabies is long, once it develops, the mortality rate is 100%!"

"If deep cleaning is not carried out as soon as possible, it can easily lead to serious local tissue infection, with unimaginable consequences."

As Teppei spoke, he stood up and grabbed Hachiman Hikigaya's uninjured arm.

"Come with me to the treatment room. I'll take you there for deep disinfection first, and then immediately administer rabies vaccine and tetanus antitoxin."

Seeing that the other person was a hundred times more nervous than he was, Hachiman was completely stunned.

Seeing that Hachiman was sitting in the chair without reacting, Teppei thought he was worried about the level of his intern, so he quickly added sincerely.

"Um, don't worry, my name is Hisagi Teppei. Although I'm an intern here now, I have extensive practical experience in dealing with various... complex traumas of living beings."

"Please believe me, I will definitely cure you!"

Looking at the intern in front of him, whose face was radiating "the benevolence of a doctor," Hachiman Hikigaya's heart was suddenly scalded by this inexplicable enthusiasm.

"Ah...no, I didn't mean I didn't believe you. But you're quite different from that guy from before."

Hachiman was somewhat flattered as he was dragged along, muttering to himself.

He turned his head away and sighed silently to himself:

[I was just sitting there spacing out, simply thinking about how to write the perfect complaint letter to bring down that irresponsible jerk of a doctor.]

Chapter 226 Did I Do Something Wrong?

"Remember, you must come for the injections on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 28th of each month. Not a single injection can be missed."

"Yes, I will be careful."

"Also, you must pay attention to eating a light diet these days. You can't eat spicy or stimulating foods, and you should absolutely avoid foods that may trigger allergies, such as mutton and seafood."

"Don't worry, my diet is always healthier than that of an ascetic."

"Finally, try to avoid strenuous exercise, such as long-distance running or gym workouts."

"Ah, without a doubt, I am a top-tier athlete who can perfectly meet the standards, please rest assured."

In the treatment room of Chiba Central Hospital, Hachiman Hikigaya responded earnestly yet perfunctorily to the intern's ramblings across from him.

"In that case, there's no problem."

Hisako Teppei stamped the medical record, signifying that all procedures had been completed.

"Okay." Hachiman stood up and prepared to leave.

But just before leaving the treatment room, he stopped and scratched the back of his head with his back to Zheping.

"Ah... how should I put it..."

Hachiman's voice was muffled, "You... are quite different from those doctors who just coast along."

"The world is so dangerous now... monsters are everywhere. Someone as hot-blooded as you should just try to survive, and then... go and save more people."

He seemed very uncomfortable saying such positive lines, and after awkwardly throwing down these words, he quickly walked out of the treatment room.

"Ah... I will."

Zheping was slightly taken aback at first, then a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Only when the corridor became empty did Teppei stop smiling and slowly sigh.

"That's right... What's going on with this world?"

Zheping raised his hands, his heart filled with uncontrollable doubt.

"Shouldn't I be dead already? Why have I returned as a young person? And..."

His mind was churning with the massive amount of information he had received that week.

"There's a brand new Ultra Warrior named Tiga, and another named Orb... Besides them, there are the Ultra Brothers..."

"And that celestial mark..."

Zheping felt a growing headache as he thought about it, so he could only slump helplessly onto his desk.

"GUYS's memory display doesn't work here either. Could it be... that I'm the only one who was inexplicably awakened in this world? Where is everyone else?"

"And what about the future... Could he still be in this world?"

"No, that's probably impossible in the future. After all, if he were here, he would have already transformed into Mebius and gone into battle..."

Thinking about this made Zheping feel a little depressed.

Just as he was about to get up to wash his face and clear his head, he glanced at the corner of his eye and suddenly noticed a list lying on the corner of the table.

"Oh no, I forgot to bring Hikigaya-kun's doctor's prescription!"

…………

"By the way, the packaging of this bag of snacks is really weird, phew."

Hachiman Hikigaya walked out of the hospital gate carrying a shopping bag.

He pulled out a limited edition Pocky box with purple and red stripes and looked at the picture of Ultraman Tiga on the box.

"Ultraman Tiga limited edition... These capitalists really know how to profit from disasters. Did they ever pay Tiga any royalties?"

Looking at the giant on the packaging box, Hachiman was reminded once again of that exchange student who always lacked motivation.

Where is he now...?

"Yo! Hikigaya?!"

Just then, a vibrant voice suddenly broke his thoughts.

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly widened his dead fish eyes and turned his head to see Danji Rei standing less than three meters away from him with a face full of joy.

"Duan Zilian? You... how did you actually show up?!"

Hachiman was startled, then quickly hid the bandaged hand behind his back.

"What do you mean I really showed up? Could it be that you've been thinking about me the whole time? I don't accept men's confessions."

Duan Zilian greeted him with a grin.

"Long time no see, Hachiman."

Just then, Hikigaya also noticed Yukino Yukinoshita, who was half a step behind Danzi Rei. The sunlight shone on her blue coat, making her look as beautiful as a picture.

At that moment, the slightly gratified expression on Da Laoshi's face froze instantly, and it switched back to endless disgust for normal people.

"Are you two... on a date?" Hachiman's voice was icy cold.

"Hachigaya-kun, if your worldview has become so barren that you assume every time you see a man and a woman walking together, it's a date."

"Then can I assume that your brain has been completely taken over by those vulgar things?"

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and, unsurprisingly, uttered a sharp retort that pierced Hachiman Hikigaya like a dagger.

"Hey... I was just saying it offhand... Never mind, it's good that you're back."

Hachiman sighed. Sure enough, when these two were together, his survival pressure would increase exponentially.

"By the way, Hachiman, how did you end up out of the hospital? Were you sick?"

Duan Zilian glanced at Hachiman's hand, which was always hidden behind his back.

"It's nothing, just a cold...yes, just a common seasonal cold."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman's face flushed slightly, and he forced himself to maintain his dignity as he replied.

"really?"

The two people opposite each other spoke in unison, and both of their faces simultaneously revealed a scrutinizing expression.

[Tsk, those two devils.]

Sensing the unpleasant atmosphere, Hachiman's escape radar went off like crazy. He decided not to get entangled with the two people in front of him any longer and to hurry home.

So he cleverly changed the subject, instantly raising the shopping bag in his hand as if it were a get-out-of-jail-free card.

"Hey you guys, did you hear about this? It's a new collaboration snack from convenience stores, and it's super popular. It sold out as soon as it hit the shelves!"

Sure enough, their attention was successfully drawn to it.

"What's going on?! These people have gone too far!"

Upon seeing the image of Ultraman Tiga, Duanzi Ren exclaimed in surprise, while Yukinoshita, standing beside her, covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of teasing.

Great, the transfer was successful.

Seeing that he had cleverly changed the subject, Hachiman once again gave himself full marks for his supreme wisdom.

"My sister Komachi said it tastes pretty good. If you two are interested, you can check it out at the Lawson convenience store up north. I'm off now—"

"Wait a minute!!! Hikigaya-kun!!!"

Just half a second before Hachiman was about to make a perfect retreat, a voice came from the hospital entrance.

Duanzi Lian and Yukino both turned their gazes toward the figure that had run out.

Teppei ran over, panting, and handed the dropped sheet to Hikigaya.

"Hachigaya-kun, you forgot this form! It contains some essential care instructions for dealing with severe scratches from stray cats!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Teppei caught a glimpse of Hachiman's hand hidden behind his back.

"And this, Hikigaya-kun."

Without a word, Teppei grabbed Hachiman's right hand, which was hidden behind his back, and earnestly began to instruct him.

"Never cover the wound with clothing. It must be kept dry and breathable so that the wound can heal faster."

And so, under Hachiman Hikigaya's almost murderous, desperate gaze, Teppei completely exposed his hand covered in gauze.

"Okay, this will make it perfect after some airing."
