Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

Elder Matsuzaki smiled slightly, as if taking care of these children was a very ordinary thing. But in fact, these things were not ordinary. The current social environment rejects these "cursed children," and they cannot even be guaranteed basic human rights. But Matsuzaki does not have this prejudice and does his best to protect these children.

"It's already amazing that you can take care of these children."

Xia Tian had great admiration for this elderly woman. She single-handedly cared for so many children, ensuring they were well-fed and healthy, and the children all looked radiant. It might not seem difficult, but considering the city's environment, it was truly remarkable.

To put it simply, it's like an ordinary person adopting and taking good care of Jinchuriki like Naruto or Gaara. You can imagine how difficult that would be.

“Brother, once you’ve sold all this fried rice, I know where the sisters are hiding. I can help call them,” Chiho interjected. She was the local bigwig here.

"Thank you for your hard work. Little Beichangtan, go with your sister to attract customers, okay?" Xia Tian turned around and instructed. He knew that the girls here were all wary, but Little Beichangtan was harmless and could use his absolute strength to prevent any accidents.

"Okay, brother, I'll bring the sisters over."

Little Binchotan nodded obediently in agreement, then took Chihori's hand and left.

Xia Tian watched the two walk away, then turned to Elder Song Qi: "Old sir, may I ask how many children are still collecting in this area?"

"I don't know for sure, but there should be two or three thousand people."

Summer was taken aback; it wasn't that it felt like too much, but rather that it felt like too little.

In terms of birth rate, he wouldn't think tens of thousands of births is too many.

But two thousand people... tens of thousands short is a shocking number.

The suffering these children endured was beyond his imagination.

This further solidified his resolve to take the girls away.

Chapter 62 The girl finally completed her journey

“Delicious, really delicious!”

"Chiho-chan wasn't lying, there really is such delicious fried rice, and you can even buy it with a bottle cap."

"Waaaaah~ This fried rice is so delicious, I miss my mom."

"Little Stone Flower, are you so busy crying that you won't eat fried rice? Then give me your portion too."

"No, I don't want Mom anymore, I want to eat delicious fried rice."

“…”

Summer got back to the hotel not much earlier than last night.

Although there weren't many customers at the beginning, after Enju Chiho returned to District 39 and promoted the product, some customers came to the store with some skepticism.

Then everyone enjoyed the delicious egg fried rice, and then more and more people came, and summer became increasingly busy.

When they got back to the hotel, Xiao Binchotan was almost dozing off.

"Mr. Xia, you're back!"

Upon seeing Xia Tian and the others return, Rentaro, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, quickly stood up to greet them.

There were three people in the group: Rentaro and two girls. The girl on the left had long, straight black hair, and if I'm not mistaken, it was Kisara. Summer glanced at her and ignored her. There are no ugly girls in the world of anime, but Summer couldn't appreciate her personality.

Driven by revenge, this girl has become corrupted and her heart is extremely dark. Summer doesn't want to mess with someone like her, and he doesn't have time to slowly try to reform her.

Instead, it was the beautiful woman in a furisode kimono standing to Rentaro's right who drew Xia Tian's attention.

She has long, flowing black hair cut in a princess style, possesses a beauty reminiscent of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), holds an iron folding fan, and her pink kimono cannot conceal her magnanimous heart.

Sima Weizhi, the daughter of the president of Sima Heavy Industries, met Xia Tian's appraising gaze and her eyes lit up.

What a handsome guy!

He's also a very handsome guy with great taste.

Confident, strong, loving, and a great cook.

Isn't he the ideal marriage partner?

Sima Weizhi's eyes lit up immediately, and she stepped forward, extending her slender hands to greet him.

"Xia Jun, do you have a girlfriend?"

"..."

Rentaro pulled Sima Miori back speechlessly. She had said she came to see Mr. Xia's cooking skills, so why was she also interested in him? In her memory, this young lady was not such a superficial person.

"Xia Sang, this is Sima Weizhi from Sima Heavy Industry, and my boss, Tian Tong Musang. Excuse me for bothering you, but they have something they would like to discuss with you."

After a brief introduction, Rentaro looked at Natsumi, waiting for her to suggest changing the location to chat, but Natsumi remained unmoved.

"Please speak frankly, we've had a long day and haven't had dinner yet..." Xia Tian asked, while secretly speculating in her mind.

Did Rentaro find the fried rice delicious and introduce the two of them to try his cooking?

Such a thought was instantly rejected by Xia Tian.

Sima Miori is a possibility, but Tendo Ki is a complete strong woman, and even if she's craving something, she wouldn't waste time making a trip for it.

Sure enough, Kisara smiled and spoke, but what she said had nothing to do with food.

"Mr. Xia isn't a police officer yet, is he? To become a promoter, you must first obtain a police officer's license. If you need that, we can provide it..."

Xia Tian waved her hand to interrupt her, already knowing what the other person was going to say.

“We’re all adults, there’s no need to beat around the bush. I’m not interested in being a police officer. If you’re trying to recruit Xiao You, go talk to her yourselves, I won’t interfere.”

Xia Tian pointed to Xiao You, who was holding a bucket and a rag at the door, and then turned around and pulled Xiao Binchotan and Qian Shou Xia Shi upstairs.

#@#

Then,

A bewildered Xiao You and Xiao Qianbei were taken to the conference room next to the lobby.

Rentaro once again took on the role of introducing the two parties.

Throughout this process, Mugeng's eyes remained fixed on Xiaoyou.

Wearing green overalls and with oil stains on their faces, Kisara guessed they had just returned from wiping down the street vendor cart.

She shook her head regretfully. Such a talented person was being used for such a low-level job. Xia Tian was truly short-sighted.

Looking bewildered, Xiao You asked Mu Geng, "What do you want from me?"

When asked, Mu Deng didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

"Can I call you Yuri? Yuri, you are a special child and shouldn't be trapped in such a small fried rice stall."

"Hmm?" Xiao You looked puzzled. "Well, I'm a bit slow-witted, so just tell me what's on your mind."

Kisara cut to the chase: "I want to invite you to be my initiator. With your incredible abilities and my background, the two of us working together can reach unimaginable heights!"

Xiao You shook her head without even thinking, "Impossible, I will not leave the boss."

"Hmm? He's offering a high salary?" Mu Geng's delicate face remained calm. When it comes to negotiating terms, if the price is right, there's no wall that can't be broken.

Xiao You remained silent for several seconds. Having lived there for a while, she knew that a monthly salary of 3 Dan was less than what a dog could earn. And yet, she had been happy for half a month over 20 saury a month.

"My boss only gives me 30,000 a month, but he provides room and board."

???

Upon hearing this, Mokugen was stunned. He carefully examined Xiaoyou, trying to discern any trace of a joke.

Then, realizing that what Xiao You said was true, his expression immediately cracked.

"He saved your life?"

"No, not at all?"

Xiao You shook her head as well. Although life was tough before, it wasn't to the point of starvation.

"So you like your boss?"

Kisara guessed that cursed children are precocious, let alone the girl in front of him who looked so 'mature'.

Xiao You waved her hands repeatedly, "The boss is a womanizer. It's not enough that he has Yukinoshita, he also has ambiguous relationships with Shizuka-sensei and Touka. I don't like him at all."

Kisara fell silent. "No, then what are you after? You're not asking for money or people, aren't you just repaying a debt of gratitude? Then why stay by his side?"

Xiao You scratched her round head and said shyly:

"If I had to put it in a way, it could be considered repaying a debt of gratitude. Before, Chihiro and I lived together..."

The affairs of the world should not be known to others, so Xiaoqian pondered deeply and came to Bao Qingtian's secluded village.

She continued, "We live in a small mountain village where you rarely see anyone else. The boss brought us here, and we've been able to eat rice, saury, and braised pork with vegetables."

In addition, there are five goldfish and a dog at home, so after work, I can feed the fish and pet the dog.

We are very satisfied with our current life and don't want to leave our boss.

"..." Kisara fell silent. So where did she lose?

(The cursed children, born in an abandoned, remote rural village, depend on each other for survival, homeless...) Kisara imagined for a while, envisioning Yu and Chi living in a remote place.

They were starving every day, and then one summer appeared, bringing them to live in the city and deceiving the girls with low wages.

The unaware girl was even grateful to him.

That's despicable.

The conclusion is that when Kisara looked at Yu, it was as if he were looking at a great victim, full of sympathy and pity.

Xiao You felt a little uneasy under Kisara's gaze: "Um... what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that..."

"No, Boss Xia isn't a police officer, so he can't get his hands on the suppressant. With such frequent use of his abilities, the erosion rate is over 50%. If this continues, you'll die."

The straightforward Xiao You looked at Kisaragi like she was an idiot. She ate a Devil Fruit, not the Gastrea virus. Using her ability would only make her feel hungry. After causing a ruckus, she could eat tens of thousands of bowls of rice, so she wouldn't die.

However, she wasn't foolish enough to reveal it.

"Bosses usually don't let me use my abilities."

Upon hearing this, Mu Geng looked at her pitifully again. "I don't usually use it, but I use it when there's danger. How long can you hold on?"

However, the child had already given up on following the small vendor, so the recruitment couldn't be rushed; it had to be done slowly.

"This is my business card. Feel free to come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will definitely help you if I can."

After saying that, Kisara stood up and walked away expressionlessly.

Xiao You was left standing there in a daze.

Xiaoqian walked over from the next table and nudged her.

"Everyone's gone, snap out of it! Do you really want to switch jobs? We've had a long day, let's go upstairs for dinner and a nap."

"Xiao Qian, let's sleep in the car tonight, hehe." Xiao You suddenly grabbed Xiao Qian, grinning foolishly.

Xiao Qian looked confused and tapped Xiao You's head: "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping in the bed?"

Xiao You put away her playful smile and scratched her head, saying, "I was just thinking, from Tokyo to here, do we consider this the trip we've always wanted to take?"

Look, the car and we are all here. We've seen so many plants and animals we've never seen before, and we even fought a monster.

And today, when I was entertaining those children, so many people thanked me... I was very happy.”

Hearing Xiao You's words, Xiao Qian was stunned.

She never expected that the easygoing Xiao You would think that way.

After a long silence, she belatedly realized what was happening.

There's no need to rush around for three meals a day, you can see new and exciting things every day, and even have the energy to help others.

Isn't this the kind of trip they've always wanted?

Chapter 63 Sima Weizhi Takes the Initiative

Summer, back in her room, turned and went into the kitchen.

He wasn't lying; he really was so busy tonight that he forgot to eat dinner.

But to everyone's surprise, Sima Weizhi followed him in as if they were old friends.

"Xia Jun, don't worry about me. Go and cook."

"..."
