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

"No matter what, we must be fully prepared."

Dr. Yao put away the laser pointer and looked at Megumi.

"Captain Megumi, Horii is still unconscious. We'll have to wait until he wakes up before we can talk about anything else."

"During this period, the headquarters will also reduce the usage rate of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves in the region. Please inform the relevant departments."

With a stern expression, Kei nodded heavily.

"I will..."

Chapter 257 The Ignored Warning

The tense and suffocating atmosphere eased slightly after Dr. Yamata left.

But looking at the frozen purple light on the screen, a vague gloom still lingered in the hearts of the GUTS team.

"Everyone, cheer up! Horii has brought us this intelligence, and we must not let it go to waste."

Captain Megumi leaned on the control panel with both hands, her calm and powerful voice forcefully pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"Team member Nozue, immediately access the headquarters database and investigate all electromagnetic communication sources in Chiba and the surrounding area."

"Understood!" Ye Rui immediately carried out the order and quickly displayed a chart on the big screen.

"In addition to military radar stations in certain areas, there are also electromagnetic transmission stations in the Inage Ward and Mihama Ward of the Chiba region."

“Send an email to their manager and tell them to minimize the use of electromagnetic waves recently in order to avoid unnecessary losses.”

"receive."

Ye Rui immediately started typing on the keyboard, but after a short while he slowly stopped, as if he was thinking about something.

"Captain, there's a rather special area here."

"Hmm?" Megumi frowned and quickly walked closer to the screen.

"It's the racetrack area in Chiba Sodezaki."

Nozue pulled up a joint document, her tone somewhat troubled, "This Saturday, the 'Post-Disaster Reconstruction Grand Prix,' jointly sponsored by TPC and the Shinomiya Foundation, will be held there."

"The Post-Disaster Reconstruction Grand Prix?" Deputy Captain Zong Fang asked with some doubt.

"...That's right."

Ye Rui looked at Zong Fang with some surprise, seemingly shocked that the vice-captain Zong Fang didn't know about this competition.

"Because the Shinomiya family wanted to broadcast this match globally in 4K high definition, they obtained the exclusive right to use the Chiba region's [Ultra-High Frequency Electromagnetic Wave Tower] from headquarters a long time ago."

"They plan to push Kita's power to 120% of its design limit on the day of the competition to ensure a stable live broadcast."

The command room fell silent instantly.

Everyone is aware of the immense resistance that will be faced in adjusting such a large-scale event.

"...the warning document will still be sent."

Jujian Hui's eyes sharpened, showing no sign of backing down.

"This is a red-level warning. The misuse of electromagnetic waves could attract unknown creatures. For the safety of citizens, it is recommended that they reduce the power to normal levels."

"Okay." Ye Rui nodded and began typing in the file.

Beside him, Daigo stared blankly at the coordinates of the racetrack and the communications tower on the screen, which were only a kilometer apart.

He turned to look at Xincheng, who was sitting next to him, biting his nails and sulking.

Moreover, the location where they had the accident appears to be the Chiba Circuit.

…………

"Reduce the transmission frequency of the communication tower? Are you kidding me?!"

In Kyoto, inside the main residence of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Un'taka was furious as he stared at the TPC letter handed to him by his subordinate.

"Yes, Master." A man reported tremblingly to Shinomiya Un'ei.

"TPC claims that the recent ionospheric electromagnetic waves are abnormal and could easily cause unpredictable disasters. They strongly advise us not to push the power of the electromagnetic tower to its limit."

"Did they consider that once the frequency is reduced, the base stations in that dilapidated place of Chiba simply won't be able to support the upcoming live broadcast plans?"

Shinomiya Un'yō irritably loosened his tie, his eyes like those of a vicious wolf guarding its prey.

"If the screen stutters, drops frames, or displays garbled text, won't the 'Global Smoothness Revival Show,' which the Shinomiya family spent over a billion yen to promote, become a joke?!"

“But patriarch… this is, after all, an official letter from the TPC Far East headquarters; we can’t just ignore it.”

"Hmph." Shinomiya Un'ei rubbed his temples, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"The Shinomiya Foundation hasn't officially partnered with TPC yet, and besides, the document only mentions suggestions..."

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Un'yō waved his hand: "You may leave now. I will consider it later."

"Yes..." The subordinate swallowed hard and humbly left the room.

The large study fell silent once again.

Shinomiya Yunying snorted coldly, picked up the tea that had gone cold from the table, and took a sip.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a corner of the desk where a proposal for an event, submitted by Kaguya Shinomiya the previous night, lay.

It was written in neat handwriting:

[It is recommended to pay attention to the psychological state of the people after the disaster, reduce flashy displays, and maintain equality and approachability in order to win more support for the chaebols.]

A hint of mockery flashed in Yun Ying's eyes: "What a ridiculous statement, full of womanly compassion."

"Kaguya Shinomiya, Ai Hayasaka, TPC... they're all trying to make me miserable."

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the ancient and oppressive courtyard of Kyoto.

The sky outside was gloomy, and the wind whipped up fallen leaves, but his posture became even more proud.

"As long as this Grand Prix concludes perfectly, the Shinomiya family, as the organizer, will definitely gain unimaginable fame and exposure."

"At that time, my power will be further consolidated, and the Shinomiya family will reach its true peak under my leadership."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct me will pay the price..."

"Boom—"

A muffled clap of thunder boomed from the dark clouds outside the window, as if responding to the arrogance of this man.

…………

Meanwhile, in Kaguya Shinomiya's room.

Looking at the rolling thunderclouds outside the window, Hayasaka Ai felt that it was almost a manifestation of her current state of mind.

Oppressive, cold, and with nowhere to escape.

"Hayasaka? Why didn't you go to practice today? The main tournament starts on Saturday."

Very light footsteps came from behind, and Kaguya Shinomiya slowly walked to the window and stood side by side with her.

"Ah... this..."

Hayasaka Ai turned around, a flawless smile instantly appearing on her face.

"Because Senior Qi Chuan said that the most important thing before a competition is to let the muscles and nerves rest."

"Pushing myself too hard will only affect my performance in the main competition, so I'm giving myself a day off today."

Hearing this reasonable explanation, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't think much of it.

"That's true, but Hayasaka has always been very strong-willed, so she'll definitely be fine."

Kaguya spoke softly, gently taking Hayasaka's hand, her eyes clear as a spring.

"Wait until Saturday, let them witness your abilities firsthand, let them get to know you properly as Hayasaka Ai."

Looking into the young lady's clear, jewel-like eyes, Hayasaka Ai felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.

Her first reaction was to pull her hand away to escape the stinging tenderness, but reason forcefully suppressed her impulse.

"...I definitely will, Miss."

Hayasaka Ai grasped Kaguya's hand in return, revealing a bright and confident smile.

Seeing Hayasaka's smile, Kaguya finally felt relieved and nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Kaguya, the head of the Untaka family has convened a final meeting regarding the Chiba Grand Prix. Please proceed to the main hall within ten minutes."

"understood."

Kaguya responded, released Hayasaka's hand, and straightened her kimono.

“Let’s go, Hayasaka. I think he’s probably planning some kind of extravagant opening ceremony again.”

"He'll use any outrageous means to solidify his position as a surrogate parent."

Kaguya walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and winked playfully at Hayasaka Ai.

"However... if his setup makes you look cooler as a driver, I wouldn't mind."

After saying that, Kaguya chuckled and turned to walk towards the main hall.

Hayasaka Ai stood there, watching the young lady's expectant back, but felt increasingly desolate.

"Young Miss, if I choose to run away... as your master, will you think I'm a coward?"

Or... as a friend, would you forgive my lie?

…………

Gradually, time marched into the pitch-black night, and all was silent.

Just then, the once peaceful night sky of Chiba City was torn apart again by a strange force.

The next second, the purple [Heavenly Scar] hung in the sky again, but this time it presented a vortex-like texture.

It seemed to spit something out quickly, then swiftly retracted, and returned to silence once more.

Chapter 258 Rapid Preparations

Finally, without anyone noticing, Chiba City welcomed its first global-level super motorcycle race.

It was Saturday, and office workers and students who had been feeling stifled for a long time finally got a chance to breathe.

The city's energy seemed to be completely ignited on this day.

"This is terrifying, it's gotten to this level... I thought I was still in Tokyo."

Standing on the steps of the coffee shop, Duan Zilian looked helplessly at the crowds of people on the street and the foreign tourists carrying long lenses and cameras.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a deep, resonant exhaust note, the two motorcycles slowly came to a stop beside his steps.

"Hi, my friend, what are you looking at?"

The rider closest to Duan Zilian took off his helmet, and Duan Zilian immediately recognized him as the handsome Spanish guy from before.

"Looking at the new changes in this city, it's so lively that I almost don't recognize it anymore."

Duan Zilian responded politely.

"Of course, after all, this is the center of the world today."

The handsome Spanish man laughed heartily, then pointed to the shop door.

"Also, I can't wait to have a cup of extra espresso before the game, that's my strongest stimulant."

"Ah...I see."

Duan Zilian shifted her body slightly to the side and pointed to the wooden sign with the word "CLOSE" hanging behind her.

"Sorry, handsome, we're closed today."

"Huh?" The Mexican driver in the other car also came over, looking completely bewildered.

"What a pity, my friend! On such a lively day, with money flowing around outside, why not open the shop and make some money?"
