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

Suddenly, the cell phone in Taihe Wang's pocket rang.

He was startled and quickly pulled out the flip phone that Shirogane Yuki had given him. After seeing the caller ID, he answered the call immediately.

"Hey, Yuyuki? What's up?"

"Oogawa-san, are you still patrolling outside?" Shirogane Miyuki's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I just got home from work. My dad brought back several bento boxes from the convenience store. Do you want to bring your teammates over for a late-night snack? Xiao Gui has already set up the table.”

Dahe Wang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he glanced back at the group of teenagers.

"Okay, we'll head over now. Make sure to prepare plenty of hot tea."

After hanging up the phone, Taiga glanced in the direction of Tokyo and took a deep breath.

"It seems another unknown invader has arrived..."

……

Meanwhile, tens of millions of light-years away from Earth.

Deep within the dazzling nebula lies a planet that radiates an emerald-like light.

This is the wonder of the universe—the Land of Light.

"Have you still not found the spatial coordinates of Zero and Mebius?"

At the top of the magnificent emerald green tower, a majestic Ultraman, resembling a giant bull, stands there.

He wore a red cloak, looked at the sky, and his eyes exuded an indescribable majesty.

"Yes, Captain."

Behind him, the original Ultraman also looked somewhat somber.

"Hikari has been tracking it day and night at the Space Science and Technology Bureau, but that star field has been completely sealed off by darkness. No matter how many times we send Ultra Signs, it's like throwing stones into the sea."

The first generation paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "And..."

"And Seven has also disappeared without a trace, right?"

Father of Ultra calmly took over the topic, a hint of a sigh flashing in his bright eyes.

"Yes." The First Generation nodded slightly.

"When he heard that the humans in that world were suffering from darkness and that Zero couldn't even transform, he defied the guard's standby order and forcibly crossed the dangerous spacetime wormhole to find that coordinate."

"As expected of someone who started as a stellar observer, he's still as stubborn as ever. But he's really acting recklessly..."

The first generation paused, a deep meaning hidden in his eyes, and then slowly spoke.

"After all, that's Earth..."

For these warriors who once fought on that beautiful planet, the word Earth carries extraordinary weight.

“However, Captain, you don’t need to worry too much,” the First Generation then added.

"Before Seven left, Hikari gave him the Plasma Bracelet, which contains a huge amount of energy. As long as Seven can find that planet, he can immediately replenish Zero's power."

"I hope so..."

Father of Ultra sighed softly, then turned his gaze to Zoffy, who was wearing a star badge.

"Zoffy, how are the results of your team's observations in the rim universe?"

Zoffy stepped forward, his tone very serious.

"Captain, the situation is not optimistic. Recently, a large number of purple cracks and unstable time wormholes have appeared throughout the parallel universe galaxy."

"They are connecting the entire universe, and many extinct monsters and evil races have been awakened in this spacetime turbulence."

After listening, Father of Ultra nodded slightly.

Then, gazing at the gleaming plasma spark tower before him, he murmured to himself:

"The universe... is in big trouble."

Chapter 103 Daigo, Holiday Cancelled

"You're going to Tokyo?"

The phone rang with Yukino Yukinoshita's cool voice, tinged with a hint of doubt.

“Yes, it was Kaisan who suggested it the day before yesterday after I returned to the coffee shop.”

Duan Zilian leaned against the window of the coffee shop, looking at the bright and dazzling sunlight outside, and felt much lighter in her heart.

“I’ve been in Japan for over a month now. I can’t just stay in the old town washing dishes forever, can I? It’s time to go out and get some fresh air.”

He paused, as if remembering something funny, and couldn't help but retort:

"Moreover, yesterday Kaisan and Mirai-san spent the whole day making travel plans, searching through the entire coffee shop, and finally managed to scrape together 150,000 yen."

"In Kaisan's words, this is called stylish budget travel, just like going to Tokyo to relax."

"Yeah……"

“The monsters have been causing quite a stir lately. After going through so much, you really need to take a good rest.”

Yukino's tone was much gentler than it had been at school.

"Yukino, are you going out during this time? Or are you planning to stay in the apartment and study?"

"Um... I have some things to take care of at home, so I have to go back."

"Family matters? Your sister?"

"Hmm," Yukinoshita responded softly, then seemed to want to change the subject.

"Anyway, be careful when you go to Tokyo. There are a lot more people there than in Chiba. You can let me know if anything happens. Don't twist your neck there."

"Hey! You can't get over that joke, can you!"

……

After chatting briefly, the call was disconnected.

After it was over, Duan Zilian turned around and looked speechlessly at the wanderer in front of her who was all ready to go.

Hong Kai somehow acquired a very stylish summer outfit: baggy shorts, flip-flops, and a floral shirt with a string of sunflowers hanging on it. If you didn't know, Duan Zilian would think he was going surfing in Hawaii.

Meanwhile, Hibino Mirai was leaning on the bar counter, clutching a notebook in her hand, writing something mysteriously with a smile on her lips.

Oh? This is...

"Future-san, what are you writing?" Duan Zilian's curiosity was piqued, and she crept over silently like a cat.

"No way, Duan-kun!" Future reacted quickly, snapping the notebook shut and laughing as she tucked it back into her arms.

"This is a secret, Duan Jun, you can't see it now."

"What?! I can't even look?" Duan Zilian panicked and reached out to grab it.

"Don't be so stingy, let me take a look! Are you writing bad things about me?"

"It's not bad stuff!" Future dodged Duan Zilian's groping hand with the agility of someone protecting a precious treasure, and the two of them started running around the bar in a chaotic manner.

"Fine, you stingy person. If you don't want to watch, then don't. Don't beg me to watch it in the future," Duan Zilian said, pretending not to care.

"I'll definitely show it to you later, Duan-kun," Mirai said earnestly.

"When the time is right."

"Tch, I don't care." Duan Zilian curled her lip.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing." Hong Kai glanced at the wall clock, waved his hand, and displayed a leader's demeanor.

"It's nine o'clock, everyone, get ready to go!!!"

"Good~"

“GIG”.

"Huh?" Duan Zilian turned her head to look at Wei Lai when she heard this strange word.

"GIG? What does that mean?"

"Huh? Ah... that." Mirai was also stunned for a moment, scratching her head helplessly, revealing a nostalgic look that Lily couldn't understand.

"It was just a catchphrase I used to use, meaning 'I understand'."

"Honestly, Future-san, you're always so secretive, you never tell me anything," Duan Zilian muttered.

However, the thought of leaving Chiba, an "accident-prone area," made Duan Zilian's mood soar.

That's Tokyo! Shibuya Crossing, the bustling Shinjuku, Tokyo Tower, Senso-ji Temple... I never thought I'd finally get to see it all with my own eyes.

"Tokyo, here I come—"

Duan Zilian excitedly rushed out of the store, but her expression immediately fell when she saw the van parked in front of the door.

"...What? We're going to have to take this beat-up train to Tokyo?! I want to take the Shinkansen!"

Duan Zilian stared at the old van in frustration, then pointed at Hong Kai in the driver's seat.

"You brat, have you forgotten that I and the future are unregistered residents?" Hong Kai said matter-of-factly.

“If we run into those people checking IDs on the bus, it might not be a problem for the two of us, but you might have to go to the police station to bail us out. Besides…”

Hong Kai patted the steering wheel of the van:

"This car is very durable, and driving it yourself is much cheaper than taking the Shinkansen. We only have a budget of 150,000 yen, so we need to be careful with our money. Enough talk, get in the car!"

"Fine..." Duan Zilian reluctantly climbed into the back seat.

If you have something to hate, hate that your wallet isn't fat enough.

If I were a tycoon like Kaguya Shinomiya, I could just rent a private jet and fly there; why would I need to suffer here?

I hate rich people...

……

Meanwhile, inside the TPC command center.

"This is the latest report from the frontline investigation team."

The team members' fingers flew across the keyboard, and the image of the dark alley from the previous night appeared on the big screen.

"The meteor that appeared last night eventually landed in an alley in Chiba's C district. TPC personnel went to investigate and found only a badly deformed trash can."

"However, during the reconnaissance, the frontline personnel sent back this picture."

Ye Rui operated the keyboard, projecting the contents of a sticky note onto the large screen.

"Next location, Tokyo...a monster?"

Kei Miyako read the words above aloud in a low voice.

"So, the next monster attack will take place in Tokyo?" Vice-Captain Munakata asked in a deep voice.

"Is this blatant announcement a conspiracy by aliens?"

“Headquarters thinks so too,” Nori continued to report. “So this morning, TPC reached an emergency agreement with the Japanese National Police Agency. To prevent widespread panic, TPC headquarters asked us to send one of our team members as a special investigator to Tokyo to assist the police in their investigation.”

"Send a team member?"

Looking at the order before her, Kijima Megumi was momentarily at a loss.

"But the team members are all on vacation now, and Horii and Shinjo also need to rest due to the crash."

"Vice Captain Munakata and I are too busy dealing with the resettlement work after the Chiba disaster to get away, so you, Nozue..."

"The Yerui team members need to stay at the base to update the equipment and cannot leave."

Just when everyone was at a loss, the automatic door to the command room opened, and Director Sawai walked in wearing a purple uniform.

"Director!" The three of them immediately stood up.

“Young people need experience.” Director Sawai walked to the big screen and looked at the sticky note.

"Although he has done something crazy, if he doesn't prove himself more, it will be difficult for him to win people's hearts in the future."

"I have a suitable candidate here, let him go."

"Who?" Megumi asked, somewhat puzzled.
