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

"So, Kitahara-san, do you have romantic feelings for Kotegawa-san?" Yukino Yukinoshita adjusted her mindset and once again posed the core question.

This woman's mental fortitude is far too strong; she hasn't managed to kick those two idiots out yet.

"Well... I'm not quite sure either." Kitahara Iori scratched his head, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic.

"But what I'm sure of is that I absolutely don't want my relationship with Chisa to become so strained."

"I understand." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded thoughtfully, her cool gaze sweeping over the remaining three people in the room.

"I have some initial ideas about this matter and would like to hear your opinions."

"I'll do whatever Yuki says!" Yui Yuigahama said, indicating that she didn't want to use her brain.

"Don't ask me about things like relationships between men and women." Hachiman Hikigaya still looked as unmotivated as ever.

Yukino Yukinoshita had anticipated their reactions, sighed helplessly, and finally turned her gaze to Hayashi Shiya standing to the side.

"So, where is Lin?"

"Huh? Is there something about me?" Lin Shiye was taken aback and pointed to himself.

"Well, after all, you're number one on that handsome guy list, so you might have some unique insights into matters of love between men and women," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"I think it's necessary to hear your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya, Yui Yuigahama, and Iori Kitahara all wore constipated expressions.

This is a misunderstanding!

As a high-class beauty who is oblivious to the world around her and only focuses on studying, Yukino Yukino's understanding of Rin Shiya is limited to the two labels: "super handsome" and "always number one in grades".

Therefore, she naturally assumed that Lin Shiye was the kind of super popular guy who was adored by girls wherever he went, received countless love letters, and had so much dating experience that he could write a book about it.

Admittedly, in the first few days after Lin Shiye enrolled in school, his outstanding appearance resulted in his closet being filled with pink love letters every morning. However, as time went by, those things never appeared again.

All I can say is... those who know, know.

"What's wrong? Why do you all look so strange?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, puzzled.

"Of course! They must be shocked that you can so keenly perceive my damn, uncontrollable charm!" Lin Shiye flaunted his bangs, a self-proclaimed handsome and charming smile playing on his lips.

"Really?" Yukino Yukinoshita blinked suspiciously, feeling that something was off.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't say anything, but silently looked away, his mind involuntarily recalling a confession scene he had accidentally witnessed that was nothing short of an epic disaster movie.

……

"Lin...Lin, I like you!" The girl blushed, bent down deeply, and handed a carefully prepared love letter to Lin Shiye with trembling hands.

"Please go out with me!"

"Eek~"

Upon hearing the answer, the girl happily raised her face, and then saw Lin Shiye take half a step back, assume a fighting stance, and clench his fists.

"In that case, let's duel!"

Girl: ...Huh?

"You say you like me, then show me your determination and courage!" Lin Shiye said seriously, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"You can't survive without fighting. My girlfriend can't be a weakling. Don't treat love like a game, you bastard!"

With that, he threw a punch, the sound of air being torn apart exploded in her ears, and the surging air blew the girl's hair wildly, but in the end, this terrifying punch still stopped in front of the girl.

"You can't even react to this punch." Lin Shiye withdrew his hand in disappointment, shook his head, turned and left, leaving behind only a lonely and proud figure.

"You're out!"

The girl stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Is he... insane?

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had watched the whole thing from the corner of the teaching building, remained silent for a long time before silently giving that figure a thumbs up.

Lin Shiye, I admit, you are a true man who has transcended vulgar tastes!

.........

Back to the Service Department.

Yukino Yukinoshita has already begun to methodically arrange the battle plan:

"First and foremost, the most basic thing is to dress properly. Secondly, if you can, quit that weird diving club."

Kitahara Iori trembled upon hearing this, a look of horror appearing on her face.

That might be a bit difficult. If he were to say he was leaving the club, those two beastly seniors would kill him. Besides, leaving so easily would be disloyal to his brothers!

Seemingly sensing his predicament, Yukino Yukinoshita considerately added:

"It's okay if you can't get a refund. Just try to avoid them these next few days and don't hang out with them as much."

"Let's talk about something else. Kitahara-kun, how are your grades?"

Kitahara Iori scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around.

"It seems it's not ideal." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded knowingly.

"That won't do. I remember Kotegawa's grades; she's consistently ranked in the top ten of her grade. If you want her to take notice of you and care about you again, you not only need to maintain a clean and tidy appearance, but you also need to work hard to improve your personal abilities."

"If you do these two things well, things should improve a lot. After all, you two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so there's still a foundation of affection between you. I think her current dislike and disgust for you largely stems from seeing you wallow in self-pity, and she's angry at your lack of ambition."

"Master, I understand." Kitahara Iori slid to his knees at lightning speed.

"...Add a little more, don't always bow in reverence." Yukino Yukinoshita covered her forehead and sighed.

"Then, Kitahara-san and Kotegawa-san's emotional battle officially begins!" Yui Yuigahama shouted excitedly, raising her arms.

"Oh, oh—" Lin Shiye shouted twice in response.

"Don't get excited yet, this is only the planning stage." Yukino Yukinoshita helplessly held down the excited Yuihama, and then looked at Kitahara Iori.

"I can tutor you in academics. As for the image makeover..."

"Leave it to me! I'll make sure Iori looks super cool!" Yui Yuigahama immediately answered, patting her chest and making a confident promise.

"Okay. Then, Hachiman-kun..."

Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and even Iori Kitahara all turned their heads and stared intently at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was trying to hide.

"...I guess I'm all done now?" Hachiman Hikigaya guiltily turned his head away, staring blankly out the window.

Oh my, the sky is so clear, and the clouds are so beautiful!

"No, you'll be in charge of supervising Kitahara-kun. Don't let him... um, run around naked again," Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"Fine." Hachiman Hikigaya sighed resignedly, then looked at Tokito Hayashi, who was slacking off to the side, and immediately became annoyed.

"Then what did he do?"

"Lin-san is not a member of our Service Club," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her.

"That's right, that's right, get back to work, Hachiman." Lin Shiye looked gloating.

"Tsk..." Hachiman Hikigaya rolled his eyes.

"So you've been sitting here for half a day just watching for fun?"

"How could that be? Whether it's you or Iori, they are both my dearest friends and family, my brothers!" Lin Shiye clutched his chest and said affectionately.

"I will support you in spirit."

"I'd be grateful if you didn't cause any trouble," Kitahara Iori retorted mercilessly.

"Ah, how about this!" Lin Shiye had an idea.

"Let me write this down for you."

"What do you mean?" Yui Yuigahama tilted her head in confusion.

"Look, your Service Department helps others without asking for anything in return, it's truly admirable," Lin Shiye said.

"I'll help you capture those beautiful moments when you're helping others. The photos that come out will definitely be valuable as keepsakes!"

"That sounds good!" Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up.

Hachiman Hikigaya and Iori Kitahara also looked surprised.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lin."
