Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

"Sorry, I'm too dazzling—the boss still recognized me."

　993 Summer: "......"

That guy is fucking narcissistic.

"It's not that I recognized you, it's that your two shikigami are waiting for you to redeem them. They ate 30 buns and packed 100 to go, and they want to dine and dash even though they don't have the money to pay."

Natori Shuichi was taken aback, then looked in the direction Summer was pointing.

Only then did they discover a motionless shikigami with two large bags on its head and a paper talisman stuck to its forehead on the back of the tricycle.

There was a sack of steamed buns at their feet.

"..."

Six eyes met,

Gua-hime pretended to be dead and closed her eyes. Sasago was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground if she could move her body now.

(The sushi vendor, Kaori Miyazono, said that the cracks in the ground here are now full of people.)

"Boss, would you believe me if I said I don't recognize these two shikigami?"

Natori Shuichi's smirk crept across his face, his smugness crumbling. He cursed Sasago inwardly, "You think you can just steal food like that? How did you get caught?"

He understands that Sasago is greedy, but why is Umehime like that too?

"Don't you recognize her? Aqua has been defeated..."

"No, no, no, boss, I was just kidding." Natori looked helpless. These people were able to easily take down two shikigami, so they were obviously not simple characters. He dared not gamble.

"How much, boss? I'll pay."

"A sincere offer of 75000 Dan."

Chapter 100 Iron Monkey, Charcoal's Peculiar Aesthetics

"Look, look!"

"Even famous actor Shuichi Natori said these steamed buns were delicious!"

"Limited quantity, first come, first served."

The boss's shouts came from behind. Natori Shuichi, his face dark, silently pulled his hat down further to his cheeks.

"Queen Guaji, do I owe you food or drink? How dare you dine and dash in public like this?"

Looking at the two shikigami, Natori was filled with disappointment and frustration.

One steamed bun costs 500 yuan; the money I gave you is enough for you to eat.

But isn't it going too far to eat and take leftovers home?

Ume-hime Sasago: ...

Sasago grumbled, feeling wronged, "Master, I didn't expect his buns to be so expensive. I paid, but it wasn't enough..."

"Even the master, I paid..."

"So, that shop owner is heartless. Selling a bun for such a high price, what an unscrupulous merchant!" Natori Shuichi frowned. "No way, that shop owner is even using my name, oh my god, I'm going to report him."

"Uh... actually, Master, this bun is indeed worth 500 pills, it's not expensive."

"???"

Natori Shuichi looked at Umehime with a puzzled expression.

The other person opened the large sack and carefully took out a steamed bun from it and gave it to him.

"These buns are really delicious, Master, you'll know once you try one!"

Are you serious?

Shuichi Natori was skeptical, but silently took the bun and tasted it.

The steamed buns that Guaji packed weren't very hot anymore, but they still smelled delicious.

"Well!!!"

Seeing the shocked look in her master's eyes, Gua Ji smiled.

I hope I won't get scolded now, right?

It's not that they lack willpower,

Is this steamed bun really that delicious?

"Holy crap, these steamed buns are so delicious?!"

Natori Shuichi doesn't usually like sweet buns.

But this white sugar and sesame bun is different.

Sweet but not cloying, the sesame seeds are fragrant and rich, perfectly complementing the light-colored outer layer of the bun, making every bite a delight.

In addition, the raw materials are also a plus. As a steamed bun lover, Natori Shuichi dares to swear that the flour used in these steamed buns is absolutely top-grade wheat, which is completely incomparable to other fancy and cheap products.

The subtle aroma of wheat evokes images of a bountiful wheat harvest as you chew it. Top-quality ingredients combined with masterful craftsmanship—this bun is truly a work of art.

“It’s delicious!”

After eating a bun in just a few bites, Natori Shuichi admitted that he had been too naive. The shop owner wasn't taking advantage of people's misfortune; each bun only cost 500 dan, and the owner was doing charity.

"Guaji, well done. You still remember your master when you get something good."

As he spoke, Natori looked at the other shikigami with a reproachful gaze.

These steamed buns are so delicious, you only care about eating them yourself, didn't you even think of packing a few for me?

Sasago didn't dare to meet the intense gaze and coughed awkwardly twice.

They quickly changed the subject.

"Um, Master, these hundred hundred 100s aren't enough for us to eat a few meals. How about we buy some more?"

"Hmm? That makes sense!"

"Let's go back!"

After saying that, Natori Shuichi took the lead and walked back.

The two shikigami followed closely behind, returning together to the steamed bun shop.

#@#

In summer, the time to close up shop comes earlier and earlier each day.

Taking advantage of Monday's good fortune, his shout actually attracted quite a few female fans.

To eat the same kind of steamed buns as their idol, they buy dozens at a time.

When Natori Shuichi returned, the female fans went even crazier, wanting to buy all the tricycles to keep as collectibles.

One by one, people took photos in front of the stall.

They've turned his steamed bun shop into a popular tourist attraction.

The sushi guy next door watched him set up his stall for an hour and then pack up, and he was completely unfazed... what a joke.

It's one thing to have pretty young female customers, but why are there also celebrity customers?!

Why is the steamed bun shop so much more impressive than other street vendors?

"Charcoal's gone, we're going to watch your big, confused sister's game."

Seeing Ziyi reluctantly watching them leave, the boss felt incredibly safe. They could defeat monsters one by one with a single blow; there was no safer place in the world than the steamed bun shop.

Unfortunately, they were closing up shop.

Ten past two,

It's still early to watch the game.

Xia Tianju took Xiao Binchotan to browse the mall on the first floor.

Having entered the mall, Xiao Binchotan looked left and right, searching for the toy train.

Unfortunately, it's not here.

Summer led Little Tanchu by the hand, "Tan Tan, do you still want to ride in the car? Let's go downstairs and I'll take you for a ride again, okay?"

Little Binchotan nodded obediently, "Okay!"

The car wasn't made, but the bustling shopping mall filled the little guy with curiosity.

This was her third time shopping at the mall, but each mall had a different layout.

The little guy loves crowded places the most.

"Charcoal, is there anything you want to sell?"

"Brother, I lack nothing..."

Before Xiao Beichangtan could finish speaking, he suddenly froze.

"Wow~" Little Beichang Tan pointed, "Brother, that monkey is so handsome~"

Summer looked in that direction and was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this the same model as Shen Teng's giant iron monkey from Africa?

This...is so handsome?

"Hey, Charcoal, you have great taste! That big iron monkey looks really imposing."

Aqua's eyes lit up, and she began to comment on the giant iron monkey.

"...Right, Aqua-neechan? This monkey will definitely ward off evil spirits if you put it at the door. Aunt Matsushita next door has a pair of stone lions, but hers isn't as good as this."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can use an exorcism spell like this."

"Boss, buy it!"

summer:"......"

He looked at Little Binchotan and Aqua with a puzzled expression. Were these two acting like him?

That doesn't seem likely; Aqua shouldn't have that level of intelligence.

This isn't an act, you guys really think this giant iron monkey is cool?!

My aesthetic sense is completely different from yours?

"Charcoal, what's so cute about this stinky monkey?" Xia Tian asked the little guy, bewildered.

"Brother~ Look at those thick limbs, they're made of steel! They're baring their teeth so fiercely, even tigers would be afraid!"

Xiao Binchotan walked closer to the entrance of the gift shop, circled the large iron monkey for a while, and seemed to like it very much.

They even reached out their little hands to touch the big iron monkey, and the touch was great.

Aqua couldn't agree more. "Boss, we happen to have two big iron monkeys. Let's buy them and ward off evil spirits."

"Wait, wait, you guys really think it's... cool?!"

"Brother~ Isn't this handsome?" Little Binchotan asked in confusion, his big eyes staring at Xia Tian in shock. Had his brother seen someone even more handsome?

Summer took out her phone and made a video call to Ayako.

"Xia Jun, have you sold out of your stall?"

"Ayako, take a look at this monkey. What do you think of it?"

"Hey! This monkey has a lot of artistic merit. Xia Jun, do you want to buy it? It's perfect for putting at the door."

"..." Xia Tian silently hung up the call, her clear pupils filled with great confusion.

He refused to believe it and dialed Dong Xiang's video again.

"Xia Jun, are you guys shopping in the mall? The monkey behind you is quite handsome. I'm sure Kojima En'er will like it when she sees it."

"..."

At the entrance of the gift shop,

Seeing the two people who were absolutely smitten with the big iron monkey,
