Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian.

The girl's shyness

Once you've identified your target, it's easy to find. Just ask people nearby where you can find places that resemble slums.

Just then, I remembered a stranger here who was someone I knew quite well; he should know this place very well.

With the three people and the cat by his side, Shichen headed back in the direction he had come from.

After walking for a short while, Satella suddenly grabbed Shichen's hem.

"That...time..."

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen looked at her in confusion.

"There..

'

Following her gaze, Shi Chen noticed a bewildered child looking around in the distance, who looked like he was about to cry.

"Is that child lost?" Satella asked softly.

"I guess so... Are you worried?"

Satella remained silent, which clearly indicated her agreement.

Shi Chen knew perfectly well that she was a kind-hearted, overly generous person, and that her refusal to help them was actually because she didn't want to be a burden to them.

Ordinary people who are overly kind can't control the timing of events, but young girls are different.

Whether it was to obtain the fragments of her divine essence or because of her, he couldn't bear to stand idly by.

"Sigh, just so you know, if you help her, your badge might already be resold," Shichen said.

"But... what if the child runs off and gets kidnapped by bad people? Isn't this place unsafe?"

"Putting others before yourself?"

"I..

'

"Alright, do it if you want. Don't worry, I'll cover for you." Shi Chen smiled and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head again.

"Time..." Satella blinked at him.

"Well, this time it means I'm praising you."

"A compliment?"

"Yeah, sometimes Esther does a great job, and that's when I do that."

"I see... So you're praising me?"

"You deserve praise for your gentleness."

"Thanks..

'

The three walked toward the child.

The lost girl was about ten years old, with shoulder-length brown hair and a cute face, but she was filled with anxiety.

"Who...who are you?"

When the time came and they walked up to her, the little girl was both nervous and hopeful.

"Please don't be afraid, we're not bad people," Satella said gently, crouching down.

"Hehe, that's what bad people always say," Shi Chen joked.

"Seriously, don't scare her." Satella puffed out her cheeks cutely and gave him a disgruntled look.

"Little sister, don't be afraid," Satella comforted the little girl who was timid because of the time.

"I might be meddling a bit, but are you lost? Separated from your parents?"

"I..

'

Despite Satella's gentle tone, the little girl trembled with fear and was on the verge of tears.

"Um... please don't cry... I'm not going to do anything to you..."

'

Satella offered incoherent words of comfort, but to no avail. Tears visibly began to well up in the little girl's large eyes.

"W-what should we do?" Satella looked to Shichen for help.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Subaru and Puck arrived at that moment.

"Why are you walking so slowly?" Shi Chen asked them unhurriedly.

"Oh, I'm asking Parker about this world, otherwise I won't understand anything, it's too much trouble."

"You're quite clever, but are you really planning to stay in this world? This world is very dangerous."

"Can I leave?"

"I don't know about that."

"Then what did you say?!" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but retort.

"Hehe, stop laughing. Shichen, what should we do?" Satella asked again.

"What exactly is going on?"

"The little girl got lost, and she was worried about her, so she insisted on helping her."

Shi Chen explained, released Esther, and squatted down in front of the little girl, smiling.

"Little sister, you're all done now~ I don't have anything in my hands, do I?"

The little girl was successfully drawn to the time, staring at his outstretched right hand.

"Watch closely... yay!"

Shi Chen slowly clenched his fist in front of the little girl, then opened it, and a candy appeared in his palm.

"Ah, the one who exclaimed in surprise was not the little girl, but Satella."

"How...how did you do that?" she asked in surprise.

The little girl blinked, staring intently at the right hand holding the time, trying to discern some secret.

But how could she possibly tell?

"Why are you surprised too?" Shi Chen smiled at Satella, then reached out with his left hand and gently stroked her hair.

"This is candy, try some, and then we'll take you to find your mom, okay?"

"Mmm!" The little girl nodded vigorously, then happily took the candy, peeled it, and put it in her mouth.

The sweet taste made her smile.

Little girls are easier to handle.

"Um... how did you do that just now?" Satella asked curiously again.

"This? Of course it is."

Shichen flipped his hand over to her, and another candy appeared in his palm.

"This!" Satella's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze shining.

"Here, this is a reward for you."

"Is it for me?"

"Hmm, try it, it's very sweet."

"Thank you..."

'

Satella took it, gently opened the wrapper, and then carefully put the candy inside into her mouth. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes involuntarily.

"So sweet!"

"Right? I can teach you that later. Right now, it's more important to help your little sister find her parents."

"You said it!"

Then Shichen held Esther's hand with his left hand and the little girl's hand with his right, while Satella held the little girl's hand on the other side. Like a family of four, they began to help her find her family.

"How come they're getting more and more of a perfect match..." Natsuki Subaru stood motionless behind them, staring strangely at Toki and the others' backs.

"Haha~ I can't deny that either," Parker replied with a laugh.

"Aren't you Satella's father? Why aren't you responding?"

"Shichen is really good at this. He gained her trust in no time, and he didn't have any ill intentions at all," Parker said nonchalantly, holding his head in his hands.

"All right...

Natsuki Subaru shook his head and reluctantly followed Toki and the others.

Fortunately, they were found by the little girl's mother not long after they left.

There was no way around it; they were just too eye-catching walking together. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, black hair and silver hair—it was impossible not to attract attention.

"Thank you so much, all three of you!"

"Goodbye, big brother and big sister!"

"goodbye."

As the little girl waved and walked away until she disappeared, Satella's joyful smile did not stop.

"Are you satisfied now?" Shi Chen looked at her.

"Yes!" Satella nodded vigorously.

"Sigh, with your personality, you'll suffer sooner or later," Shi Chen sighed.

"Isn't Shichen also willing to help?" Satella said with a smile.

"That's different. I'm helping you, not anyone else. You little girl, no wonder Parker calls himself a father."

"Little girl... you've got the timing wrong, I'm not little anymore." Satella suddenly stopped smiling.

"You're not very old either, are you?"

"No, I'm not the age I appear to be, because I'm... I'm a half-demon."

After saying this, a complex expression appeared in Satella's eyes, as if it were an incomprehensible mixture of despair and hopelessness.

"So you're a half-elf. No wonder you're so cute. I knew a normal girl couldn't possibly be as pretty as you," Shi Chen said with a smile.

"?" Satella stared at the time in disbelief, not blinking.

"What's wrong?"

"What else...? I'm a half-demon..."

'

"I understand, is there a problem?" Shi Chen asked casually.

"You—you—ugh!"

Satella's pretty face visibly flushed red, as if she were too shy to bear it. Then she turned around, squatted down, held her head, and made a shy sound that was hard to decipher.

"Oh...ah..."

'

"Oh dear~" Parker flew over quickly, his cat face teasing.

"What's wrong now?" Natsuki Subaru asked curiously as he ran over.

Shi Chen spread his hands: "I don't know either..."

'

"I don't know yet... Ugh, Shichen, you're such an idiot! A level three idiot!" Satella said shyly without turning her head.

"What kind of cursing is this? And why did you suddenly start cursing at me?"

"I don't know! Who cares about you! Let's not talk about this! We need to find the badge quickly!" Satella stood up, not even glancing at the time, and walked forward with a brisk pace.

"Is this... shyness? What did you do, Toki-nii-san?" Natsuki Subaru asked.

"I didn't do anything, weren't you all watching from behind?" Shi Chen retorted.

"Really?" Natsuki Subaru asked, expressing disbelief.

"No buts, finding what you're looking for is the priority... Also, you're going the wrong way," Shichen called out to Satella.

Satella paused, turned around, lowered her head, and quickly walked back, then passed by them without saying a word.

She didn't cover her face, so naturally, everyone could see her flushed cheeks, like bright red apples.

"Brother Shi, you really have a knack for this." Natsuki Subaru chuckled and raised an eyebrow in a teasing tone.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and catch up, it's getting dark soon, and Parker won't be of any use then."

"Hey, you can't say that, can you? I'm still very useful."

"So it can only be a mascot."

"I'm angry!"
