Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

"Boss, you can sell here without worry. The police and urban management officers can't reach this area, and no one will complain."

Xia Tian nodded and pushed the tricycle out the gate, followed by Mado Kureo, who still had orders to pack.

"Boss, what brings you here? We've been looking everywhere for you. Never mind everything else, just give me five portions of stinky tofu." Koma En'er eagerly handed over the yen.

“The original location was complained about, so I met Mr. Grassland and he brought me here.”

"That's it,"

Gu Jianyuan nodded; it was about the same as what he had found out.

With a sincere expression, Mado Kureo lazily said, "With so many of you, five servings aren't enough. Listen to me, each of you should buy at least ten servings."

He usually doesn't bother with other people, but he was happy today.

"Yes, yes, yes, what do you mean, five cents? Yuan'er, is that all you've got? Boss, how many cents of stinky tofu do you have left? We'll take them all."

Iruma Nobuo said with an air of dominance.

"The investigators still have 8 more portions to pack, so there should be 123 portions left. Are you sure you want them all? That's 123000 Dan in total," Xia Tian said without looking up as she packed the stinky tofu.

“....." Iruma Xuan fell silent, her right hand silently stopping the action of taking out her wallet, and she turned to look at her store manager for help.

Fangcun Gongshan shook his head helplessly and took out the money, "We'll take the rest."

Upon hearing this, Mado Kureo looked up at them. These people were eating stinky tofu pills like they were eating rice. It seemed he was really overthinking things.

He took the packing bag and was about to return to the countermeasures bureau when the phone in his pocket suddenly received a call from headquarters.

Mado Kureo frowned and muttered, "Why would those guys call me?"

"What's the situation with Mado Kureo now? People are calling the police. Has your branch been wiped out by ghouls?"

"No, there isn't a single ghoul in our branch." Mado Kureo looked puzzled. "It's all quiet and peaceful, and people are even having a meal together in front of the branch office."

Yoshimura Kozen: "..."

Touka: "......"

The four lotus flowers displayed: "..."

summer:"......"

As ghouls, they all possessed exceptional hearing, and those who heard the phone call exchanged speechless glances.

Summer paused for a second while frying tofu, silently observing the people in the antique café with a fascinating expression on her face.

Chapter 40 The Binchotan Awakens from a Dream

七点

Fangcun store manager and everyone at the antique coffee shop watched helplessly as Xia Tian packed up her things, ended her stall, and left with a flourish.

Standing at the entrance of the counter-strategy office, they dared not ask any of their many questions.

But they were reluctant to let Xia Tian leave like this. Who knew if the boss would take the stall back tomorrow? They didn't want to experience the anxiety of waiting today again.

Watching the tricycle disappear into the distance in the summer, Fangcun nodded to Gujian Yuan'er, who gave him a knowing look.

Reluctantly handing the takeout bag to Dong Xiang, she silently followed Xia Tian.

He can distinguish between a full meal and a full meal.

As the tricycle sped along, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on Xia Tian's lips.

A clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky.

Yuan'er, who was jumping on the high-rise building, suddenly felt a numbness in her body and fell straight down on the roof. When she woke up again, there was no trace of the tricycle on the street.

Gu Yuan'er was completely baffled. How could she suddenly be struck by lightning? It was clearly Sifang who had been cursing the gods before.

Helplessly smoothing out his afro, he went back dejectedly.

#@#

It was almost 8 o'clock when I got home.

The Anding District is quite far from the villa where I stayed in the summer.

Xiaoqian and Xiaoyou are still awake. When they were wandering in the post-apocalyptic city, they slept as soon as it got dark to conserve food.

Now they eat a full dinner and don't have to worry about breakfast tomorrow. After eating and drinking their fill, they've gotten used to staying up late after two days of disrupting their biological clock.

Hearing the commotion, the two of them went out to greet them.

"Boss, you're back."

Summer nodded, picked up the dozing-up little Binchotan and carried it back to the room.

Cover the little guy with the Pukashu blanket.

When he returned to the yard, Xiao Qian and Xiao You had already wiped the tricycle clean, making sure there wasn't a trace of oil.

"Boss, is there any more work for us to do? We only have this much to do all day, and we're not even having a proper meal."

Summer gave him a strange look; there were even people vying to be his beasts of burden.

Xiao You also said, "Boss, why don't I go out and set up a stall with you? We've been so bored at home since you left that we're practically turning into mold."

Although there's TV to watch, I feel inexplicably guilty. What boss goes out to make money while they stay home idly?

"Hmm... If you guys have nothing to do, why don't you go back to General Affairs and sell shumai? I'll make the food, and you can use the tricycle in the morning."

After thinking it over carefully, Xia Tian decided that it would be better to let the two girls go out and interact with people so that they could integrate into the community more quickly.

"Boss, can we do this?"

“It’ll definitely work. All you need to do to set up a stall is courage. Xiao You will definitely be fine. If Xiao Qian is too scared to hawk his wares, he can just collect the money.”

#@#@

A large bag of rice appeared in Xiao Binchotan's dream.

She walked happily, carrying her favorite rice. On her way home, her mother-in-law was waiting for her.

"Hehe! Grandma~~"

She exclaimed happily, wanting her mother-in-law to see her rice.

"Little Charcoal, time to go home~"

The grandmother smiled and waved to the little one, looking at her with a kind expression.

"Grandma~~ I'm here~~"

The little one grinned broadly and ran towards his grandma with his short legs.

The mother-in-law waited where she was, looking at her encouragingly.

"Grandma, I'm so tired, wait for me~"

Little Binchotan ran and ran and ran... He didn't even know where the rice had gone, but he could never get close to his grandmother.

"Grandma~ Grandma~~"

"Wait a minute, Little Charcoal~~"

"Take me with you~"

......

The old woman's figure grew fainter and fainter, and the anxious young charcoal carrier tried his best to get closer.

She reached out her hand, almost touching her mother-in-law, but the next moment her mother-in-law vanished without a trace, like a bubble.

"Grandma, where are you?"

"Come back, Grandma!"

"Let's take Little Charcoal with us, Little Charcoal is tired~"

Little Binchotan ran all over the forest, all over the town...

Mother Duck didn't see it, and neither did Grandpa Turtle...

There's none by the river, none in the cabin...

My mother-in-law has disappeared.

Leaving Kobinchotan alone~

Little Binchotan sat sadly at the door and cried loudly.

My mother-in-law doesn't want Xiao Tan anymore...

Mother-in-law~ Mother-in-law~

......

Tears soaked the pillow, and Xiao Binchotan suddenly woke up.

"Woo~"

Little Binchotan cried sadly.

When Xia Tian woke up, she quickly picked up the little one and asked, "Tan Tan, what's wrong? Does your tummy hurt again?"

"Waaah~ Brother~" The little guy shook his head.

"What's wrong? Tell your brother, he's here."

"Grandma~ Waaah~"

"Grandma~ Grandma doesn't want Xiao Tan anymore~" Xiao Beichang Tan cried very sadly.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Xia Tian gently patted Xiao Binchotan's back.

"Mmm~ Grandma~"

"Woo~"

Little Binchotan stretched out her little hands and hugged Xia Tian tightly, as if afraid that her brother would abandon her too.

She wasn't afraid of hardship, fatigue, or even hunger; what she feared was loneliness...

A lonely little wooden house, and a lonely person.

Eating alone, saying goodnight alone.

She didn't want to be a sensible 'little adult'; she just wanted to be a child again, to be pampered in a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother is here, your brother will always be here."

"Little Charcoal~ Little Charcoal~ You're so obedient~ Brother, when is Grandma coming back?" With teary eyes, Little Charcoal looked up expectantly at Summer.

"Tan Tan, be good, we won't cry. Grandma loves to see Tan Tan smile happily."

"I didn't cry~ Grandma said Xiaotan should be strong and not cry, Xiaotan, don't cry~"

Little Binchotan rubbed his eyes, trying to hold back his tears. He used to be able to do it when he was alone, so why couldn't he stop them now?

My mother-in-law won't like a child who cries a lot~ Waaah~~

"Waaaah~~ Brother~"

"Little Charcoal is a bad kid~ Waaah~~" Little Binchotan hugged Summer tightly, feeling as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Tan Tan is the best-behaved. Tan Tan is the best-behaved child in the whole world. She helps her brother wash rice, makes shumai, watches the fire, and collects money... My Tan Tan is the most capable."

Summer gently comforted the little guy in her arms; his teary-eyed look broke her heart.

"It's alright, it was just a nightmare. Grandma loves Tan Tan the most, and my brother loves Tan Tan the most too. Once Tan Tan grows up happily and eats his fill three meals a day, Grandma will come back."

"Mmm~ Little Charcoal, be a good boy." Little Binchotan's little hands still held onto Summer tightly.

It's as if they're afraid summer will run away.

"Look, he even came running over to check on you because he was worried about your rice bowl."

Summer then noticed that it was already daylight, and the dogs had all run into the room.

"Woof woof woof!" The rice bowl barked twice.

"Shall we get up, brush our teeth, and wash our faces, and happily start our day full of energy?"

"okay!"
