Crossover Anime: Not Joining the Service Club at the Start

A simple, unpretentious day has passed.

The next day, the second day of the holiday.

Cheng Shi opened his eyes.

Hmm, an unfamiliar ceiling.

Ha, what an old joke.

I don't know if they'll deduct money from my pay.

The system extracts skills.

Beep—Today's skill: Distinguishing smells; Side effect: Hypersensitive sense of smell.

Huh? Hypersensitivity to smell? What kind of side effect is that?

Just as Cheng Shi was feeling puzzled and wanted to ask the system, he suddenly smelled a lot of strange odors.

"Well"

Upon smelling it, Cheng Shi immediately covered his nose to prevent the odor from entering.

At this point, he finally understood why hyperolence was considered a side effect.

Because those smells are just unbearable!

Super-sensitive, as the name suggests, is extremely sensitive.

He smelled a multitude of scents with just one breath.

In just this one room, he could smell wood, insects, the shampoo in his hair, and the lingering sweat on his feet.

Holy crap, he just took a shower yesterday, slathering himself in shower gel!

Now, all that skill has been wasted because of this side effect.

Fortunately, only I can smell these scents.

Even so, Cheng Shi still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over.

Because of the smell, he always subconsciously felt that the smell was very strong, so strong that it seemed like everyone could smell it.

However, these are all illusions.

As a result, that feeling of unease became even stronger.

As a result, Cheng Shi's breathing also became a little more rapid.

then

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Good grief, I choked because I was breathing too hard.

"Ugh"

This is really outrageous.

However, compared to the benefits, this side effect seems insignificant.

Of course, this is on the premise that we don't go anywhere.

Chapter 28 An unexpected encounter with Conan

Outside a coffee shop in downtown Tokyo.

A Mini Cooper was parked not far away.

Inside, Cheng Shi wore a mask and looked utterly dejected.

My sense of smell is so incredibly sensitive, why do I smell so much stench?!

Meanwhile, Eri Kisaki looked at him with considerable concern.

"Chengshi, are you really alright?"

That expression makes it look like she's in a lot of pain.

"No, it's nothing," Cheng Shi shook his head. "This is an old problem of mine. It will be fine after today."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi pretended to be in great discomfort and sneezed several times in a row.

Well, actually only the sneezing was faked.

And the discomfort was truly a feeling of discomfort all over the body!

"Really?" Eri asked hesitantly.

After all, this situation is too strange.

I sneeze intermittently throughout the day, but I have no other health problems.

I had a check-up at the hospital, but they didn't find anything wrong.

It's only valid for one day; after that, nothing happens.

Yes, this is the fabricated reason Cheng Shi made up for his clear nose today.

Although it's outrageous, it can at least be considered a reason.

As for verification?

Hmm, he figured it was probably impossible to verify.

After all, sometimes it's not necessary for parents to go to the hospital with their children, is it?

Moreover, he is someone who dares to travel abroad alone.

Thinking this, Cheng Shi smelled another odor and immediately sneezed.

Ouch!

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki helplessly handed him a tissue and said:

"But don't you feel uncomfortable doing this?"

"Thank you, sister," Cheng Shi took the tissue, pulled down her mask to wipe her nose, and then shook her head, saying, "It's definitely uncomfortable."

"But because the attacks were short-lived and probably only happened a few times a year, I eventually stopped paying attention to them."

"Don't worry, sis, everything will be fine."

And it will never appear again after today.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki looked at his calm expression and opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Alright, it's up to you to decide this, after all, it's your body."

There was nothing she could do; as an older relative, she had said everything she could to advise and say.

But what can she do if her child won't listen to her?

After all, they've only met for a day.

If we were to be too forceful, who knows if he would come back in the future?

Therefore, it's best to proceed gradually and slowly.

"Alright, let's go inside first. Maybe Xiaolan has already arrived."

"Okay, sure." Cheng Shi nodded.

"Once we go in, I'll sit by the window. Just call me when you're done talking to your daughter."

Eri nodded gently: "Okay."

Then, the two went inside one after the other.

As soon as you enter, a welcoming bell rings.

Then came the greeting from the waiter.

"Welcome! Are you two together?"

Upon hearing this, both Eri and Seishi tacitly refrained from giving a direct answer.

"We're waiting for someone, but it seems she hasn't arrived yet."

Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded and said, "I understand. Please wait a moment. Some staff members are off today, so we are a little short-staffed."

As he spoke, he turned to Cheng Shi and asked, "Excuse me, sir?"

"Hello, I'm also waiting for someone, but please don't arrange multiple seats for me before then, because I'm not sure if that person will come."

Cheng Shi politely replied, "So please go ahead and do your work in the meantime."

"Okay, please call me if you need anything," the waiter replied with a smile.

"I will," Cheng Shi nodded.

After saying that, he randomly chose a seat by the window and sat down.

A few seconds later, the waiter, who seemed to have finished serving the guests, handed Cheng Shi another menu.

"Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything." After saying this hurriedly, the waiter turned around and went back to work.
