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

"Well... I'll give it a try too."

Duan Zilian grinned.

"I have a pretty good relationship with President Baiyin. I'll give him a call after school at noon and we can talk things out privately. Maybe there will be a turning point."

"There's no need for that much trouble."

Yukino Yukinoshita decisively rejected his suggestion, a hint of assertiveness flashing in her eyes.

"I've already made an appointment with President Shirogane. After school today, we'll go directly to the student council office at Shuchiin University to discuss the route allocation and solutions to the conflict between the two schools in person."

"...Huh? Are you going to get straight to the point?"

Duan Zilian's lips twitched. As expected of Yukinoshita, so clean and efficient.

"Yes."

Yukinoshita slightly raised her chin, giving Duanzilian no chance to refute.

"Let's go, Duan Jun, class is about to start. Our war has only just begun."

Looking at the girl's slender yet unyielding back, Duan Zilian inwardly cried out that she couldn't take it anymore, but couldn't help but quickly follow after her.

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency."

Chapter 74 is about Duan Zilian's cousin.

After school, at Shuchiin Academy, in the student council room.

"Ugh... what should we do? If we guide them from this exit, the road is too narrow and it will cause congestion. But if we go over there, the flow of people from both schools will converge on the overpass, and then..."

Behind his desk, Shirogane Miyuki stared intently at the school floor plan spread out on the table, his eyes filled with irritation.

He grabbed his blond hair so hard that he almost crushed the pen in his hand.

"President, you've been scratching your head the whole time, and your expression is really scary!"

Fujiwara Chika appeared like a ghost at some point, her black ribbon on her head swaying curiously.

"Ah, it's the monster disaster escape drill that the school mentioned."

Shirogane Miyuki sighed, put down the nearly lifeless pen, and rubbed his temples.

"It's going to officially start next Monday, so we have to design a joint evacuation plan for the two schools. If something really happens, it's a matter of life and death."

"Huh? This kind of thing is actually difficult for the president?"

Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth in disbelief.

"I thought that in the president's super brain, a few lines would be enough to solve the problem perfectly!"

"I'm not an omniscient and omnipotent god..."

Bai Yin gave a bitter smile.

"Besides, route planning is actually a minor issue; that's not what I'm most worried about..."

"It's the relationship between Soubu High School and Shuchiin High School, right?"

Kaguya Shinomiya put down her teacup and spoke softly.

"Ah, yes."

Shirogane Miyuki leaned back in his chair, turned to look at Fujiwara Chika, and spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.

"As you know, Fujiwara-kun, although the two schools have merged, the underlying rift between them has always been very deep."

"If they are forced to follow the same escape route, even the slightest friction could turn into a serious stampede if danger occurs."

Upon hearing this topic, the ribbon on Fujiwara Chika's head drooped instantly, as if she had remembered something particularly sad.

"Yeah! The people from Soubu High School have such a deep prejudice against us!"

"Last time, I specially baked some super delicious cookies and went to the class at Soubu High School to make friends, but not only did they ignore me, some girls even said behind my back that I was a rich girl who was deliberately showing off!"

"Luckily, a cute pink-haired girl came to my rescue, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!"

After saying that, she deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped onto the desk with a "thud".

"That's not what we meant at all."

Chika muttered aggrievedly.

"The prejudices between people are too deep."

Bai Yin shook his head helplessly.

"Yukino said she's coming here later to discuss the monster evacuation issue and ways to ease tensions."

"She messaged me around noon saying she would be bringing Duan along."

"Huh?! Are Yukinoshita and Dan coming?"

Fujiwara Chika instantly revived on the spot, her eyes sparkling.

"They're all such good people! Especially Duan, I even ran into him when I was buying a Ultraman Tiga figure during Golden Week!"

"Oh?"

Bai Yin cast a questioning glance at him.

When Kaguya Shinomiya, who was sitting on the other side, heard Chika Fujiwara mention the words "Golden Week," her hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and she almost spilled the tea on her skirt.

"Yes, yes!"

Fujiwara Chika gestured excitedly.

"During the Golden Week holiday, I went to the mall to buy a limited edition Ultraman Tiga figure. On my way back, I ran into my classmate Duan, who was out shopping with his younger sister!"

"Senior Duan actually has a younger sister?"

In the corner, Yuu Ishigami, who had been playing games with headphones on, stopped what he was doing and looked up with some confusion.

"It's his cousin! But it's such a pity, I didn't get to see what his sister looks like."

"That kid had a huge sun hat pulled down low, covering his entire face, and he was pressed tightly against Duan's trouser leg, completely ignoring me. What a pity."

Fujiwara Chika rested her chin on her hands, recalling the scene from that time.

"Sigh, she's so shy at such a young age. How will she grow up to be as socially active as Chika-neechan?"

Fujiwara Chika shook her head confidently.

"Haha, Secretary Fujiwara, everyone has a different personality."

Bai Yin smiled and smoothed things over.

"But! That little sister is really awful!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly changed the subject and slammed her hand on the table in indignation.

"She actually made Duan carry so many shopping bags by herself! Big bags and small bags, Duan was sweating profusely, while she walked ahead like a little princess! This is simply ruthlessly exploiting Duan!"

"Kids these days have such unlovable tempers!"

"Duan is really something, letting such a young girl order him around to buy a whole bunch of things. He's completely under his sister's thumb!"

After saying that, Fujiwara Chika smiled shyly.

With each additional word Fujiwara Chika spoke, Shinomiya Kaguya's face grew redder, until she was practically steaming.

"Idiot! Moron! Incapable of thinking! Twisting the facts!"

Kaguya roared inwardly.

"Did all your thinking abilities grow into your chest?! And carrying the bag is just to maintain the Shinomiya family's dignity!"

Just as Kaguya was about to break down due to the overwhelming amount of internal monologue, Fujiwara Chika suddenly hugged her from behind, affectionately rubbing her cheek against Kaguya's shoulder.

"Hehehe, our Kaguya-san is still the best!"

"Gentle, considerate, kind, and generous! If Kaguya and Dan had gone shopping together, Dan definitely wouldn't have been treated like a poor laborer!!"

"...!!!"

Kaguya Shinomiya was caught off guard by the sudden "sticking" and her face instantly turned bright red, reaching her ears.

She could only sit stiffly in the chair, obediently letting Fujiwara Chika rock her body like a rag doll.

"Huh? Kaguya-san, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

Seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya remained silent, Fujiwara Chika touched Kaguya's forehead with concern.

"No... I don't feel uncomfortable."

Kaguya brushed Chika's hand away as if she'd been electrocuted, frantically grabbed a document from the side and fanned herself with it, her eyes darting around.

"It's just...it just feels a bit hot today!"

"Yeah, you're right, it's been really hot lately."

Fujiwara Chika had no doubts and responded affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki glanced at the blinding sunlight outside the window.

"Yes, it's only the beginning of May, but the highest temperature has already reached 32 degrees Celsius."

He looked at the girl embracing on the sofa and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

The distress caused by the refuge issue has lessened somewhat.

Shirogane Miyuki turned his head and looked at Ishigami Yu, who was curled up on the sofa playing games.

"So... what is Ishigami's view on the relationship between Sobu High School and Shuchiin?"

Yu Ishigami put down his game console, took off his headphones, and his eyes revealed an indifference and clarity.

He thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"I think... those people in Senior Duan's ward before were all pretty good."

"Especially senior Azusagawa, he is a rare person who is very clear-headed, and he has helped me a lot in the past."

Ishigami pushed aside his long bangs, then said sharply:

"I think that no one with a normal IQ would really be hostile to the other. The current conflict is purely because everyone thinks we should hate each other, so I act like I hate you to fit in."

He paused, as if recalling something unpleasant.

"This so-called class antagonism is, to put it bluntly, just a bunch of idiots who like to stick together for warmth and seek a sense of superiority from each other."

"Especially those guys in Shuchiin, they are all going to be heirs in their respective fields, but when they encounter something, they act like children. They can't distinguish right from wrong and only know how to believe what they see and hear."

"Haha, as expected of you, Ishigami."

Shirogane Miyuki nodded with a wry smile. Ishigami's words, though harsh, hit the nail on the head.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Yu Ishigami put his headphones back on and continued playing the game with his head down.

"Speaking of which, that Yukinoshita-san is pretty amazing too!"

Fujiwara Chika released Kaguya, cupped her hands around her heart, and said with an expression of adoration:

"Every time there's a joint activity between the two schools, she and Kaguya-chan have such a great time chatting! They're such evenly matched partners, going back and forth like that!"

"Fujiwara-kun, that's called an exchange or discussion or a business negotiation, not chatting."

Kaguya Shinomiya straightened her clothes and coldly corrected him from the side, though the blush on her face had not yet faded.

"Oh dear! They all mean the same thing!"

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks in protest.

Chapter 75 When Gods Fight, Mortals Retreat

"Boom, boom."

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the student council room.

Shirogane Miyuki raised his head and said:

"Please come in..."
