Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

"I am fulfilling my duties as a maid, but I also hope that you will keep your promise to me."

"I have no reason to go to such lengths to fabricate lies to deceive you, do I?"

“That’s true. After all, it involves the Shinomiya family, so most people wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily.” Hayasaka Ai nodded.

Although Dongfang Chen did promise her that he could help her and her mother escape from the Shigong family, it was only a verbal promise.

If Dongfang Chen changes his mind in the end, there's nothing she can do about it.

Moreover, her life was in Dongfang Chen's hands, and she had no initiative whatsoever.

All she can do now is obey Dongfang Chen's arrangements. Hayasaka Ai only hopes that Dongfang Chen is a man of his word.

Dongfang Chen checked the time and asked, "It's almost lunchtime. Hayasaka, you know how to cook, right?"

"I might know a little, but you'd better not get your hopes up (bacc)."

At the Shinomiya family home, there are professional chefs available, so she doesn't need to cook for herself at all.

Dongfang Chen paused for a moment: "Emm, I can learn it when I have time. For a qualified maid, being able to cook a table of her own dishes is just the basics."

There's a saying that goes, "The way to a person's heart is through their stomach."

Although Hayasaka Ai was somewhat speechless, she still nodded: "Okay, I'll try to learn when I have time."

lunch time.

Dongfang Chen looked at Hayasaka Ai, who was standing quietly to one side, and said, "Come sit down and eat with me!"

As a maid, she is not normally allowed to eat at the same table as her master, but Dongfang Chen doesn't have so many rules.

Hayasaka Ai stood still: "I'll eat it later."

"That's an order. I don't like having someone standing there watching me eat."

Hayasaka Ai then sat down.

"Here, there are no rigid rules like those of wealthy and noble families."

"Aside from making it clear that you are my maid and must obey my orders, we can interact however we like."

"We can be friends, and you can also treat this place as your own home. You can decide for yourself what you want to do, what you want to eat, what you want to play, what you want to go out, etc."

"As long as I don't give you any orders, you are free. Do you understand?"

Dongfang Chen stated his requirements for Hayasaka Ai.

He never intended to keep Hayasaka Ai by his side, nor did he need her to follow him and serve him every step of the way.

"If this is also your order, then I will obey!"

Hayasaka Ai nodded as she looked at his serious expression.

"Yeah, relax a bit, I'm not as scary as you think."

Ultimately, it was because the two of them didn't spend enough time together, and when Hayasaka Ai was with him, she always maintained a working attitude.

As a result, when they are together now, the atmosphere is both tense and somewhat awkward.

However, there's plenty of time in the future, and we'll gradually get to know each other better.

After lunch, Hayasaka Ai insisted on returning to Kaguya Shinomiya's side, as she couldn't be away from her for too long as her personal attendant.

"Wait a mininute."

Dongfang Chen called out to Hayasaka Ai, who was about to leave.

"You did pretty well today, consider this a little bonus for you!"

He raised his right hand and placed it directly on her chest, and a bright white light shone forth, enveloping her entire body.

Hayasaka Ai, who had been blushing shyly, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of comfort wash over her, and a sound involuntarily escaped her throat...

Sitting in the car on the way back to the Shinomiya family home, Hayasaka Ai clenched her fist, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

However, she raised her hand to rub her chest, which still ached slightly, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "That idiot, he didn't even know to be gentle..."

Chapter 100 People are starving to death, why bother with morality and ethics?

Monday, October 5.

The short weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to go back to school.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Dongfang Chen slowly woke up.

[Ding! The host slept for 8 hours and has gained 80 Salty Fish Points. Salty Fish Points: 2~820]

[Ding! Host, you haven't done a lottery draw in over a year. You've saved up your luck for a year, so a casual ten-draw is sure to get you some good stuff. Come and give it a try!]

Hearing the system notification in his ear, he shook his head helplessly and pretended not to hear it.

I got up, washed up, made breakfast, and prepared lunch boxes for myself and my apprentice.

Good morning, Master!

The fledgling cranes, just waking up, love to greet each other.

"Okay, hurry up and wash up so you can have breakfast. Also, put your pajamas on properly. I've told you so many times, don't deliberately show half of them."

He glanced at her indifferently, then began to lecture her.

She thinks she can seduce him with that little washboard-like girl? Let's wait a few years!

"Oh, okay, I know, you silly master~"

The little girl complained unhappily.

Dongfang Chen shook his head, both amused and exasperated. He wondered who had taught this girl to do such borderline things.

The disciple's filial piety towards the master has become corrupted!

Akina Hinatsuru, who is far away in Ishikawa Prefecture, said: "It definitely wasn't me who taught her!"

……

At the entrance of Fengzhiqi School.

As soon as Dongfang Chen arrived at the school gate, he saw Sakurajima Mai standing there with a haggard face.

She was wearing Feng Zhiqi's school uniform, with semi-transparent black stockings on her legs. No one could detect her presence even though she was standing there.

Her eyes had lost their light, like a wounded little animal, isolated and helpless.

He sighed and walked towards her: "Sakurajima-senpai, are you alright?"

Dongfang Chen's abrupt voice echoed in her ears, waking her from her daze.

Sakurajima Mai looked up slightly at Dongfang Chen, a forced smile appearing on her lips: "So, there are still people who can see me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell straight forward into his arms.

Dongfang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her, supporting her shoulder: "Have you fainted?"

He looked around and realized that asking for help was unrealistic, as no one else could detect her presence.

"Consider it a debt you owe me."

He sighed helplessly.

He still couldn't just leave her like that, so he bent down slightly and picked up Sakurajima Mai in a princess carry.

Just as I was about to leave, a voice came from behind me: "Hey, Dongfang Jun, what are you doing?"

He looked back and realized that many students passing by had been attracted by his actions.

Because in their eyes, Dongfang Chen was talking to thin air, and the way he was holding Sakurajima Mai looked particularly strange.

The person who spoke to him was Nakano Satsuki, and her four older sisters were also watching him from behind.

"Is Dongfang Jun talking to a ghost? And what's with this strange movement...?"

Yotsuba said with some fear.

"Huh! Really? Do ghosts really exist?"

"Should we run first? I've heard that ghosts feed on human souls. No, I have to go first."

"Is it possible that this student is hallucinating?"

"Hey, students over there, what are you all doing gathered around there?"

"Teacher, there's a strange student here. Oh, where did he go?"

They've already escaped!

Before anyone could react, Dongfang Chen had already run away with Sakurajima Mai.

……

Physical preparation room.

Dongfang Chen placed Sakurajima Mai on a stool and, looking at the still unconscious Mai, began to scold her irritably:

"After today, I reckon I'll be a celebrity. It's all your fault!"

Although she can't hear it either.

He sighed softly, placed his hand on her forehead, and activated his healing skill.
