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

Shinomiya Un'yō hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

"That ignorant and arrogant girl, she really thinks she can turn the world upside down with just one match..."

A dark cloud hung over Shinomiya Un'yō's eyes. Suddenly, he spoke coldly to the empty courtyard.

"Haasaka."

"……exist."

After a brief silence, Hayasaka Ai reluctantly emerged from the shadows in the deep shade of the trees in the courtyard, still wearing her motorcycle outfit.

[That persistent old fox...] she cursed inwardly.

"Why would you choose to sneak into the side courtyard like a thief, instead of using the spacious and respectable main gate of the Shinomiya family's house?"

Shigu Yunying turned around and looked down at her from his superior position.

"The motorcycle engine is too loud, and going through the main gate will disturb the rest of the elders in the family."

Hayasaka Ai lowered her voice, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"You know it will affect your rest."

Shigu Yunying suddenly took a step forward, her sharp gaze seeming as if she wanted to devour her alive.

"Do you even know how improper it is for you, as a maid of the Shinomiya family, to skip work during the day and go out to race a pack of stray dogs?"

Hayasaka Ai's hands, which were hanging by her sides, suddenly clenched.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger in her chest.

[I can't act impulsively... For the sake of the young lady, and for my own sake... I can't get into a conflict with him here.]

"All my schedules have been approved by Lady Kaguya."

Hayasaka Ai raised her head and looked directly into Yun Ying's eyes.

"You are the head maid trained by the Shinomiya family. All your actions must take the interests and orders of the entire Shinomiya family as the top priority."

"I'm sorry. I am Kaguya Shinomiya's personal maid."

Hayasaka Ai's voice was as cold as ice, "I only obey Kaguya-sama's orders."

"Hayasaka Ai!"

Shinomiya Un'yō's voice suddenly rose in the darkness of the night.

"I am the rightful head of the Shinomiya family!"

Upon hearing this jarring declaration, Hayasaka Ai coldly turned her head away, expressing her contempt with silence.

"Humph……"

Yun Ying looked at the girl's restrained expression and gave a cold smile.

He abruptly flicked his sleeve and turned to walk towards the main house.

"Hayasaka Ai, you must always remember that your Hayasaka family is just a vine on the big tree of the Shinomiya family."

"If the vines don't behave, they can be pruned."

His voice faded into the distance, as if he were about to leave at any moment.

However, just before entering the main house, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way... if you really want to win honor for the Shinomiya family, then give me a good performance on the track."

Shi Gong Yunying turned his head slightly, his gloomy face full of mockery.

"The premise is... that nothing unexpected happens at that high speed."

"For example... the rear wheel suddenly slips, or something like that."

"!!!"

Upon hearing those words, Hayasaka Ai's body jolted violently, and her pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

Seeing Hayasaka Ai's reaction, Shinomiya Un'taka chuckled and disappeared into the darkness behind the door.

Hayasaka Ai was left standing alone in the cold moonlight.

Bone-chilling and icy cold.

Chapter 254 A Day at the Coffee Shop

The next morning, Duan Zilian finally witnessed the disaster that Hong Kai and Wei Lai had gone through the day before.

When the store opened, a line of moderate length had already formed outside, including many returning customers from the previous day.

"Look! The door's open! The door's open!"

"The food is so delicious, and the manager and waiters are all incredibly handsome. It's definitely the best place to take photos."

Listening to these whispered discussions, Duan Zilian felt utterly bewildered.

When he finally came into view, everyone thought to themselves, "Wow, there's an even younger one here..."

And so, the three of them began their busy day.

But as time went on, the three of them, who were initially in a flurry of activity, gradually became more organized and even started chatting and laughing, completely different from yesterday.

This is because……

"Duan Jun, Mandheling tea for table 2, caramel macchiato for table 4, and iced fruit tea for table 5."

A cool, clear voice pierced through the busy aroma of coffee, its language concise and efficient.

"Alright! Mirai-san, let's continue!"

Duan Zilian flung the rag aside and shouted at the counter.

"Roger that! We'll get right on it. The food for table number 1 is ready!"

A vibrant voice from the future came from behind the coffee machine.

The next second, Hong Kai, carrying two trays, gracefully turned and passed by Duan Zilian.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, please enjoy your meal."

He placed the coffee steadily on the guest's table, his composed demeanor instantly eliciting a few soft gasps.

And in the very center of this hall, bustling like a battlefield.

"It's a pleasure to have you come and try our food. Thank you for your patronage."

Yukino Yukinoshita was wearing a coffee shop apron, and her long hair was tied back with a blue headband.

She bowed slightly, every movement exuding unparalleled elegance and composure.

"Wow...what a cute girl! May I take a picture with her?"

The middle school girls in front of me had stars in their eyes and excitedly raised their phones.

Yukino was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse; she simply nodded gently.

"Click".

After the group photo was taken, the short-haired girl at the head of the group excitedly tugged at her companion's sleeve and whispered.

"Oh my god, this restaurant is so beautiful! I absolutely love it here!"

The long-haired girl on the other side turned her gaze to the other side and said excitedly.

"Look, is that boy over there also a shop assistant? I didn't see him in yesterday's photos, but he's actually quite handsome!"

"Hey, big sister, could you help me get that boy's LINE? I'd like to get to know him."

The long-haired girl blushed and looked at Yukino expectantly.

Yukino was slightly taken aback. She looked in the direction the girl was pointing and saw that Tanzi Rei was being pestered by a little kid on the other side.

She chuckled softly, then turned to the girls and gave them a polite but cold smile.

"Sorry, no, that's not possible."

"Eh... I see." The girls were a little disappointed, but looking at Yukino's undeniable smile, they seemed to understand something.

"Could it be... Oh! I get it!"

The short-haired girl suddenly realized what was going on, pulled her companion aside, and chuckled as she paid the bill. Before leaving, she gave Yukino a thumbs-up.

"Keep it up, big sister!"

"Hmm..." After understanding the meaning behind that encouragement, Yukino's cheeks instantly flushed pink.

She looked away in a flustered manner, glancing in the direction of Duan Zilian.

"Hey kid, let's explore the area ahead later."

Duan Zilian grabbed a little kid by the collar with a helpless expression, stopping him from climbing up to the second-floor attic.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and casually put the naughty child down.

The little kid seemed to sense the subtle tension between the two, made a face, and then ran away.

"Minister," Duan Zilian scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, "business is a little too good."

Yukino couldn't help but chuckle at his awkward expression. The beauty of the melting snow in that instant left the boys at the next few tables stunned.

"Duan Jun is really clumsy when it comes to dealing with children."

“That child insisted on going up to the second floor. That’s my bedroom. How can I let a child go up there and visit it as he pleases?”

Duan Zilian defended herself in a very serious manner.

"Oh?" Yukino tapped her chin lightly with her finger, looking thoughtful.

"Could it be that something shady is hidden up there? Like... some magazines hidden under the bed?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah! How could there be such a thing! Mirai-san cleans every day!"

Duan Zilian blushed and quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway... thank you so much, Minister, for coming to the store to help out today. Otherwise, the three of us definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it."

Duan Zilian smiled and looked at the counter.

There, Future was brewing coffee, while Hong Kai leaned against the counter waiting.

Although nothing seemed wrong, the two of them kept glancing in this direction, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yukino naturally noticed this as well, and recalling what the girls had said earlier, her face flushed even more.

"It's just mutual help between friends. After all, if Mr. Duan is like Mr. Kai, whom I mentioned on the phone yesterday, I, as the minister, would still be very troubled."

Hearing these merciless words, Hong Kai, who was standing at the counter, froze and quickly coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

In the future, he will stand by and laugh as he adds insult to injury.

"Miss Yukinoshita really has a strong ability to coordinate things, otherwise Kaisan would have been spinning like a top again yesterday."

"Yesterday was just a mistake! A mistake! Even a rogue has off days!"

Kai retorted without hesitation, but when he looked at Yukino, his gaze held a hint of genuine admiration.

"However, this girl is really quite nice."

"Waiter! We'd like to order!" came a call from the inner table.

"They're here! ×2" Duanzi Lian and Yukino responded almost in unison.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly walked over.

Duanzi Lian picked up a rag and wiped the table spotless, while Yukino politely inquired about the guests' needs and quickly jotted them down in her notebook.

Seeing this tacit understanding, Mirai and Hongkai nodded to each other again.

"It's like... well, you know?" Hong Kai winked at the future.

In the future, she lowered her head somewhat shyly and placed the brewed coffee into the tray.

"Kaisang, stop joking around and go serve the food."

"Alright, Rogue's here!"

Hong Kai picked up the tray, looked at the crowded aisle in front of him, and suddenly felt playful, wanting to show off in front of these people.
