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

"Hey~ you guys are playing tennis."

Just then, Yumiko Miura walked straight over with her small group.

"Can we play together?"

"No way," Yukinoshita refused without even thinking.

"This venue was requested by Totsuka-kun; no one else can use it."

"What? Aren't you using it?" Yumiko was furious when she saw her indifferent expression.

"We're just helping him practice," Yukino said calmly, arms crossed.

"To be precise, this was commissioned by our club."

"Practice, huh? Shouldn't there be more people sparring?" Miura raised his chin, looking like he had a perfectly reasonable argument.

"Sparring with someone of a higher skill level would help Totsuka improve more, right? How about a match? The winner can stay and spar with you..."

"I refuse." Before she could finish speaking, Yukinoshita interrupted her.

"You've been talking to yourself the whole time. Are you cerebellum underdeveloped and your brain completely maldeveloped? This venue was requested by Totsuka-san, and she commissioned us. Don't you guys, who are unrelated to this, think it's ridiculous to have a competition?"

She paused, a faint hint of mockery playing at the corners of her lips.

"Oh, by the way, if you join our club and are ready to serve, I might consider having you join as well. But even if you submit your application, I won't agree. After all, it's a real headache to have someone without a brain join a club."

The entire room fell silent.

Yui Yuigahama and Ayaka Totsuka were so shocked that their mouths dropped open, while Hachiman Hikigaya remained calm. He had already experienced this woman's strange and unpredictable skills on his very first day in the company.

"You...you you!" Miura Yumiko gritted her teeth, her face flushed.

"Under the Snow!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Hayama Hayato quickly stepped in to smooth things over, his usual gentle smile on his face.

"It's more fun when everyone plays together, and we genuinely want to help Totsuka-kun."

"That sounds nice." Yukinoshita glanced at her non-existent watch, her tone dismissive.

"But you've already kept us waiting for a long time."

"Ha, I think you're just scared!" Miura Yumiko stepped forward.

"You're afraid of losing to me and losing face, right?"

"Yumiko..." Hayama Hayato wanted to persuade her to give up, but he was met with a fierce glare from her as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hayama, could you please shut up?"

Hayama immediately fell silent. Yumiko had been acting strangely since the start of the school year, and although he didn't know why, he wisely avoided getting involved with her.

Hobu Sho and Ebina Hina exchanged a glance, neither daring to utter a sound.

How could Yukinoshita possibly fall for such a clumsy attempt to provoke him...? Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was thinking this, he heard a cold voice ring out.

"A pointless provocation, but I'll grant your request."

"Huh?" Hachiman was dumbfounded.

"Since you're so persistent, then I'll crush your pride completely." Yukinoshita raised her head, speaking in a condescending tone.

"If you can do it, then give it a try!" Miura Yumiko clenched her fist.

The two picked up their rackets almost simultaneously, lifted their feet, and slowly walked towards each other, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

Yui Yuigahama looked left and right, both of her good friends were on either side, and she really didn't know what to say.

"Things are getting worse," Hayama said with a wry smile as he moved closer to Hachiman.

Hachiman glanced at him, then ignored him completely, put his hands in his pockets, and walked off the field.

Hey buddy, who are you? You just randomly came up to me and started talking.

"What's going on?" Lin Shiye returned from the restroom and saw the tense atmosphere on the field from afar.

"Yukinoshita and Miura Yumiko are fighting for custody of Totsuka," Hikigaya sighed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiye's eyes lit up, and he stroked his chin.

Do girls fight? Okay, that's great!

When Miura Yumiko inadvertently looked up and saw Lin Shiye, her body stiffened abruptly. She quickly lowered her head, her ears turning red without her noticing.

Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing, are you in heat?"

"..." Yumiko glared at her and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Wait till I beat you to a pulp, then let's see if you can still utter a word with that lousy mouth of yours."

Seeing that the two women seemed to be getting more and more hostile, Hayato Hayama hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.

"How about a mixed doubles game? It'd be more fun if everyone played together!"

He thought that it would be bad if Yukinoshita and Yumiko got into a fight, so having the two of them together could help mediate.

"Okay." Yumiko nodded.

"I don't care." Yukinoshita also had no objection.

"Then I'll team up with Yumiko, and Yukino will team up with... um, is Hayashi coming?"

"He's not from the Service Club, is he?" Yumiko asked quickly.

"It'll definitely be Hachiman!"

Lin Shiye scratched his head; he hadn't given his opinion yet.

Hachiman was a little confused; this popular girl actually knew his name.

"Then let's do it this way." Ye Shan nodded. He felt a little guilty towards Yukinoshita, so he decided to deliberately lose to her later.

Although this is unfair to Yumiko, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Hachiman, how long do you want to keep watching?" Yukinoshita turned to look at her.

You really want me to do it...

Hachiman pouted and reluctantly walked over.

"Good luck, Hachiman!" Lin Shiye said with a smile.

"Xiaoxue, will you win?" Yui asked worriedly.

"We will win." Yukinoshita said earnestly.

Soon, both sides took their positions on the field.

"Well then, I'll serve."

Hayato Hayama stood behind the baseline, turned sideways, tossed the ball with a standard and smooth motion, and the racket swung out with a clear whooshing sound as the tennis ball hit the inside corner of the opponent's first court.

The tennis ball bounced up, and just as Yukinoshita was about to make her move, Hachiman had already been waiting for a long time.

boom!

With a crisp sound, the ball was hit straight back, but Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato remained rooted to the spot, not yet keeping up with the rhythm of the shot.

"Huh?" Yumiko blinked and turned to look behind her. The ball was lying quietly on the ground.

"15 to 0!" Totsuka Saika, acting as the referee, quickly announced the score.

"You played very well, Hachiman," Hayama praised sincerely.

The students watching from the sidelines also exclaimed in amazement.

"It's alright." Hachiman shrugged, not getting carried away.

Anyway, everyone will just think that this guy was just lucky, and that Hayama and Miura weren't prepared, or something like that...

"You're really spacing out way too much, Hayato!" Tobe Sho teased.

"Haha, sorry." Ye Shan straightened his sleeves.

look.

Hachiman Hikigaya sighed deeply, but then a voice suddenly rang out.

"Awesome, Hachiman! Tear him apart like that!" Lin Shiye cheered loudly, while also nudging the student next to him with his elbow in a familiar gesture.

"See that? That's my brother."

Oh no, don't do that, it's so embarrassing!

Hachiman thought this to himself, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily turned up slightly.
