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

Fujiwara Chika instantly switched to battle mode, pulling out a paper fan from who-knows-where and slamming it precisely on the stone's head with a "smack," before angrily launching her attack:

"That's so rude! How can you say that to a patient who just escaped death? It's like rubbing salt into their wounds! You're such a clueless straight man!"

"Sorry……"

Yu Ishigami's life force was instantly drained by the fan, and he was shrouded in a thick shadow. His already gloomy face was now covered with a mask of pain.

"I really am a piece of trash who only knows how to kill conversations... My existence is just polluting the air in the ward... I might as well just die..."

After saying that, Yu Ishigami floated out of the ward like a weightless ghost, without even closing the door.

"Hey, don't actually die." Shirogane Miyuki looked at the lifeless back of the stone and gave a wry smile.

Chapter 48 TPC

With Shi Shang's departure, the ward was finally free of negative energy.

Bai Yin turned around, took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.

He unzipped his bag, took out a high-quality folding fan from his backpack, and handed it to Duan Zilian.

"Duan Jun, this is a small token of my appreciation."

"A folding fan?" Duan Zilian took it with some surprise and unfolded it with one hand.

On the white fan, four powerful characters were written in bold, flowing calligraphy: “Refine your will to become sharp.”

"This is the folding fan I've always used, and it has words I wrote on it to motivate myself."

Bai Yin looked at Duan Zilian with eyes full of encouragement and care: "It means that no matter how much pressure you encounter, as long as you keep tempering your will, that will will eventually become a sharp blade that can cut through everything."

He paused, his tone utterly sincere: "That night, you taught me how to breathe in this world. Today, I give you those words: no matter how chaotic this world becomes, no matter what you encounter... I hope you can persevere and not be crushed."

"Wow, wow, the student council president is blushing." Fujiwara Chika floated over and said with a mischievous smile.

"Secretary Fujiwara, that's enough!!" Shirogane Miyuki broke down in an instant.

Duan Zilian looked at the words on the fan, then at the silver.

He knew that Baiyin simply saw him as a friend who was injured in the disaster and struggling in life, so he offered him his most precious spiritual support.

"Thanks, Guild Master Baiyin." Duan Zilian's eyes brightened slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"I'll accept this gift without hesitation. I'll treat you to an extra-strong coffee after I'm discharged from the hospital."

"Alright, it's time for the boys' high-energy segment to end."

Kaguya Shinomiya gently interrupted the atmosphere between the two.

She stepped forward and placed a beautifully packaged, enormous fruit basket on the table. Inside were Shizuoka melons and premium Sunshine Rose grapes, the price tags of which were clearly in the five figures.

"Yukinoshita-kun, nice to meet you for the first time, or rather, it's nice to meet you again."

Kaguya first gave a slight nod to Yukinoshita, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her manners impeccable.

"Vice President Shinomiya," Yukinoshita returned the greeting with equal elegance.

Kaguya then turned her gaze to Tanzi Rei on the hospital bed.

"Duan Jun, this fruit basket is a small token of the student council's appreciation. Please take good care of yourself and recover soon," she said softly, her voice noticeably gentler than before.

Duan Zilian paused for a moment, then returned the gesture with the same respect.

"Received, I will eat it all with a grateful heart to supplement my calcium intake."

"So!" Fujiwara Chika suddenly exclaimed in the next second.

Everyone turned their attention to this.

Suddenly, Fujiwara Chika produced a giant board game box from behind her and slammed it onto the hospital bed: "Danzi Lian! To prevent you from getting bored to death in the hospital room, I specially brought the board game club's secret 'Monopoly: Chiba Survival Challenge Edition'! Let's all play!"

"Hey! Secretary Fujiwara! This is a hospital ward, keep quiet!" Yukinoshita and Kaguya said in unison.

"It's okay, it's okay! It's more lively with more people!" Yui Yuigahama excitedly joined in.

Looking at the high school students who had suddenly turned into a chaotic mess in front of the hospital bed, Hong Kai and Hibino Mirai leaned against the window and smiled at each other.

"Ah... how am I supposed to play like this?" Duan Zilian said awkwardly, looking at her immobile body.

“Oh yeah…then let the others join in!” Fujiwara Chika paused for a second, then smiled energetically again, grabbing Yuigahama Yui’s hand next to her.

"Hey! You just abandoned me so easily?! Is this how an injured person should be treated?!" Duan Zilian was shocked; the girl in front of her changed speed unexpectedly fast.

Looking at the noisy high school students around the hospital bed, Kai and Mirai Hibino exchanged a smile.

"What a vibrant youth!"

Meanwhile, a few floors above Duan Zilian's noisy hospital room.

The sunlight was just as bright in the spacious single hospital room.

Shinjo, the ace pilot of the Defense Force, lay on the hospital bed like a mummy, his body wrapped in thick bandages.

Dahe Wang sat casually on a chair next to the hospital bed, crossed his legs, and chatted happily with the man beside him.

Although Xincheng was seriously injured, the atmosphere in the ward was unusually relaxed. Despite the age difference between the two, the "life-or-death friendship" they had forged on the brink of life and death made them unexpectedly compatible.

Boom, boom, boom.

Just as the two were having a lively conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.

"I'll go open the door. I guess the nurse's here to change the dressing." Taihe Wang got up and opened the door.

However, standing outside the door were several officers of the defense force dressed in crisp military uniforms.

Xincheng, who had been smiling, suddenly tensed up, his smile vanished, and he straightened his back.

"Sir... hello, sir." Shinjo's voice sounded somewhat awkward and dry.

It's finally here, the ultimate trial! Come to think of it, I should have died at sea that day! At least then I'd be a martyr!

As a soldier, he knew better than anyone the consequences of disobeying military orders, especially in a situation where it was being broadcast live from the control tower and under the watchful eyes of the public.

The officer leading the way entered the ward. Taiga Nozomi keenly sensed that something was amiss and tactfully retreated to the window to watch the scene quietly.

"Xincheng, how are you feeling? Is there anything seriously wrong?" The officer looked at him, his tone so calm that it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Sir, it's nothing serious! Just some soft tissue contusions and a mild concussion. I'll be able to get out of bed in a few days!"

Xincheng answered loudly, though his voice lacked confidence.

The officer looked at him, remained silent for two seconds, and then slowly spoke:

"Then I'll just say it directly: because during your operation in Yokohama, you disobeyed headquarters' standby orders and fired on the target without authorization."

"Following the final decision of the higher defense council, you have been officially relieved of your post in the defense force's flight squadron. From today onwards, you can no longer remain in the military."

The ward fell silent for a moment.

Taiga frowned, about to say something, but was stopped by a look from Shinjo.

"Ah... as expected, the punishment has been handed down."

Xincheng did not refute, he lowered his eyes with a wry smile, but there was no regret in his eyes.

“I don’t regret it, sir. If I had to do it all over again, I would still press the launch button.”

Xincheng raised his head, his gaze resolute: "Because of that giant... I can feel him protecting the people, protecting this city. I can't just stand by and watch someone who protects us be killed by a monster."

The officer listened quietly, then a smile suddenly appeared on his usually stern face. He nodded slightly, his eyes filled with appreciation.

Xincheng was a little confused, and just as he was about to say something—

"Therefore, the defense force system is no longer suitable for you, New City. However, we have prepared a better place for you here."

After the officer finished speaking, he stepped aside, making room for the doorway.

Then, he bowed deeply towards the door.

The officer said respectfully, "Director Sawai, he's right here."

“Director Sawai…?” Shinjo was stunned. He had heard this name countless times in the news. Sawai was a leader at the United Nations who had been dedicated to promoting global peace and unity.

Under the astonished gazes of Daigo and Shinjo, a very kind-looking elder slowly walked into the ward.

He wore a purple uniform, and the years had left a deep sense of weight on his face.

"You must be a member of the Shinjo team, that was a beautiful shot." Director Sawai walked to the bedside with a smile, his voice gentle.

"This...this is..." Xincheng looked at the important figure in front of him, so nervous that he couldn't even speak properly.

He suddenly noticed that Director Sawai was wearing a badge with an inverted triangle symbol on the chest of his uniform.

In the very center of the inverted triangle are three simple yet weighty English letters: 【TPC】.

"As you can see, the era of the defense forces is coming to an end. If humanity continues to be bound by old rules and regulations in the face of these unknown threats that come from across time and space, it will be unable to protect this planet."

Director Sawai reached out and gently patted Shinjo on the shoulder.

"The Earth Peace Alliance, or TPC for short, was previously the department responsible for transportation and logistics."

"But after the first battle of 'Devil,' the Shinomiya Foundation and other financial families invested heavily in the TPC project, and the United Nations unanimously approved the transition of TPC from a logistical project to a full-fledged program."

"Now, we are looking for people who are not blinded by prejudice and who truly have courage and judgment."

Sawai looked at Shinjo and smiled as she extended an olive branch:

"New City team member, after you recover from your injuries, would you be willing to join our special investigation team and continue flying in the sky?"

Shinjo looked up in surprise and met Director Sawai's serious eyes.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the inverted triangle badge on Sawai's chest, making it gleam.

Chapter 49 Destiny Card

"Ugh! Why are we going bankrupt again?! I'm quitting!"

Fujiwara Chika grabbed her hair and let out a frustrated wail, looking utterly aggrieved.

"Secretary Fujiwara, this is what happens when you put all your money into stocks in the beginning." Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Chika's pitiful assets.

"That's right, Chika-chan." Yui Yuigahama held a large handful of game tokens in her hand, smiling somewhat embarrassedly. "Um... I think I've bought the entire land in the seaside park now."

"Yui, well done! That's how you squeeze every last penny out of them!" Yumiko Miura cheered from the sidelines, acting like a big sister.

"Who designed this game?!"

Suddenly, Bai Yin's face darkened, and he read out, word by word:

"A fateful event: Yesterday, the Kirieloids fought fiercely with Tiga, resulting in damage to your company building. A repair fee of 20,000 has been deducted, and you are suspended from operation for one turn... Huh?! What the hell is this?! Even monsters are destroying your house?!"

"There's no way around it, this Monopoly game is the 'Monopoly: Chiba Survival Challenge Edition' that the board game department worked on overnight last night. It's in line with current events!"

Fujiwara Chika defended herself righteously.

Lying in her hospital bed, Duan Zilian was startled upon hearing this: "Is it relevant to current events... But I don't think I damaged any buildings yesterday, did I?"

Duan Zilian frantically recalled the events in her mind, then decisively complained, "I deliberately fought it on the sea and in the sky! It didn't damage any buildings at all! This is definitely a stereotype from game developers!"

The atmosphere in the ward was unusually cheerful as Shirogane Miyuki handed over the money with tears in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, the surrounding area has changed a lot in the last two days. There are fortifications being built and underground shelters being constructed."

Yui Yuigahama happily sorted through the banknotes she had won, sighing with delight.

"Of course, otherwise if the monster appears again, there'll be nowhere to escape and we'll just get crushed," Miura Yumiko chimed in, looking troubled.

"It's not just around here, but all over the country and even the world is frantically building underground defense fortifications. I heard that even the stocks of building materials companies have multiplied several times."

"Ah, not only that, I heard that the academy will also organize a monster disaster escape drill for all teachers and students in a few days."

After hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki sighed. He was already in great pain because his company building had been damaged, and now the academy was going to hold an escape drill in a couple of days, plus the previous disaster relief work. The student council's workload would increase exponentially.

He suppressed his inner pain, handed the dice to the next player, and said in a low voice, "Did you see the morning news? The United Nations held an emergency meeting last night. The TPC, which was originally only in charge of logistics and rescue, has now been given a lot of authority. It has now started to manage the defense and military forces of various countries. So, the main force to deal with those monsters in the future may be the TPC."

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the topic of silver, Fujiwara Chika suddenly sensed a golden opportunity.

Her hand silently reached for the bank's tray, quickly snatched two large bills, and then sat there nonchalantly, looking like a nice person.

Duan Zilian was also drawn in. When he heard "TPC", Daigo, who was at the beach that day, immediately came to mind.

He remembered encountering the other person when he was in school. At that time, he was still recovering from the fear of being attacked by a strange creature. He never expected that the other person would now be a giant who had prevented a disaster.

Alas, life is truly unpredictable.
