Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

Holidays are always joyful and fleeting—at least for most people. But for Lin Shiye, staying at school is a million times more fun than staying at home.

After all, the group of extraordinary people he met at school always managed to redefine his understanding of the limits of humanity, bringing him countless laughs. Besides, playing during holidays is perfectly normal, but slacking off during school days—that's the ultimate joy ingrained in his DNA!

"I'm facing a huge crisis right now, and I really don't know what to do." Kitahara Iori knelt on the ground and kissed the earth hard with her forehead.

Please, please help me!

Before him stood Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Hachiman Hikigaya, the legendary Three Kings of the Service Club.

"...Kitahara-kun, please get up, and could you please put your clothes on?" Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes speechlessly, hoping that the cringe-worthy scene before her was just her imagination.

Yui Yuigahama also covered her eyes, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Only Hachiman Hikigaya remained completely calm, even taking a sip of his tea. He glanced at Kitahara Iori, who was only wearing floral shorts, with deadpan eyes, feeling nothing, and even a little amused.

Sure enough, none of those who could get into the same club as Lin Shiye had any morals whatsoever.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I got so excited I forgot." Kitahara Iori scratched his head, only then realizing that his outfit was a bit inappropriate. But all his clothes were left at the diving club, and he couldn't very well go back to get them now.

He would never admit that he has now evolved to the point where being naked is more comfortable than being clothed.

"Shiye, can I borrow your coat?" His gaze fell on Lin Shiye, who was secretly eating Yuihama snacks.

"Ah, Kobayashi, my snacks!" Yui Yuigahama cried out in despair.

Lin Shiye's cheeks were bulging from eating, like a hamster. Without even lifting his head, he threw his coat at Iori's face.

"Well then, Kitahara-san, please explain in detail." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed; she was still too polite.

"That's how it is..."

Kitahara Iori hurriedly put on her coat, then cleared her throat and began to recount her tragic experiences with tears streaming down her face.

In short, he has a childhood sweetheart with whom he grew up. The two had not seen each other for many years and finally reunited at this school. He thought he could continue their childhood friendship, but every time she saw him, she looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fresh pile of dog poop on the roadside, and her attitude was extremely bad.

He tried everything to ease the tension, sending snacks, treating people to meals, and taking the initiative to greet them, but the other person's gaze became increasingly disdainful, and now they've reached the point where they avoid him whenever they see him.

"I really don't want to lose this friendship, please help me!" Kitahara Iori cried bitterly.

"Kotegawa-san... I've heard of him even though we're not in the same class." Yui Yuigahama looked up, seemingly trying to recall his appearance.

"After all, she's fourth on the campus beauty list—she's super cute!"

"What is that?" Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback.

"It's a ranking of the most beautiful girls that all the boys in the school secretly made!" Yui Yuigahama whispered excitedly as she leaned closer to her.

"Xiaoxue, you came in third! That's amazing!"

"Don't look at those meaningless lists anymore." Yukino Yukinoshita pushed away Yukino's head as she leaned in, her ears turning slightly red.

"Agreed, can you believe this guy is number one on the handsome guy list?" Hachiman Hikigaya pointed at Shiya Rin, looking disgusted.

"What did I do to you!" Lin Shiye said angrily, speeding up her snacking.

"No! Leave some for me!" Yuihama pounced on him.

"Alright, let's get back to business." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Iori Kitahara and asked in a serious tone.

"Let me confirm this first. Kitahara-kun, you said that you and Kotegawa-kun are childhood friends, that's real, and not just your wishful thinking, right?"

Kitahara Iori: ...?

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Iori felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

Lin Shiye, Hikigaya Hachiman: Pfft~

"What are you laughing at?" Kitahara Iori looked over with displeasure.

"I've thought of something happy," Lin Shiye said with a smile.

Hachiman Hikigaya, standing nearby, started whistling.

"What's so exciting?" Kitahara Iori pressed closer.

"Last night, Komachi texted me to say goodnight and even called me 'brother'~" Lin Shiye said seriously.

Hachiman: Haha, yeah... wait, no!

"Lin Shiye, you deserve to die!"

"I wasn't pretending, Chisa really is my childhood friend!" Kitahara Iori lay on the ground, wailing and throwing a tantrum.

"Trust me, trust me!"

"Okay, I believe you, I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita felt a headache coming on.

"The ground is cold, Kitahara-kun, get up quickly."

"You said that Kotegawa always looks at you like you're trash..." she paused, then said.

Have you considered the reasons within yourself?

"I think, of course, this is just my personal opinion, that no one in this world would look at a pervert who might run naked at any time with admiration."

Kitahara Iori felt as if another arrow had pierced her heart.

"It's all Lin Shiye's fault! It's all his fault!" Kitahara Iori sprang up from the ground with a somersault and unhesitatingly shifted the blame to his good brother.

"If I hadn't joined that damn diving club and been led astray by him, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Shiye cursed.

"You were the one who joined the diving club first! You were the one who practically begged me to join during recruitment! You said there would be lots of beautiful women in bikinis! But when we got there, it was all naked guys like you!"

"In that case, I'm your senior!" Kitahara Iori's face contorted into a Godzilla-like expression.

"Then why don't you listen to your seniors?"

"Oh ho? You really dare to say that!" Lin Shiye's expression gradually became no different from that of a monster.

"Don't you have any self-awareness?! Who hid my underwear last time, making me run around naked in the clubroom all afternoon?!"

"That's because you added hair removal cream to my bath water first, causing all the hair on my [beep beep] to fall out!" Kitahara Iori shouted.

The two monsters started elbowing each other fiercely while hurling insults at each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed deeply again, leaning back weakly in her chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this moment, she finally had to admit that some of what Hiratsuka-sensei said was indeed true.

She really should get to know more people.

Only in this way could she truly appreciate just how outrageous the biodiversity of this world really is.
