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

The sound of plates clattering suddenly erupted, signaling the start of the final battle!

Artoria and Karna were evenly matched, and a whole plate of food disappeared in just a few seconds. Seeing the two of them so eager to fight, Lin Shiye couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

"Looks like I'll have to show my true skills!" Lin Shiye said, as a golden watch face appeared behind him, the hands starting to click and the food in his hands getting faster and faster.

One steaming dish after another was served. Tohsaka and Emiya, covered in sweat, ran back and forth like two spinning tops that couldn't be stopped.

Mei Zhen, who was on the judges' panel, had somehow transformed into her lazy form. She was slumped in her chair, sipping the ice cream dessert that Lin Shiye had made for her when he had a spare moment.

In a short time, Karna and Artoria's table was piled high with small mountains of empty plates.

That's not enough, it's far from enough!

Karna's eating speed had slowed down, and he was so full that his expression was somewhat distorted. He looked at Artoria, who was not stopping her eating at all, and his heart was filled with resentment.

The other person remained seated upright, back straight, eating at a perfectly steady pace, as if the dozens of dishes they had just eaten were merely appetizers.

Such a formidable opponent, such a delicious feast... Karna! Are you really going to give up now?

no way!

Burn, sun!

Karna's body erupted with intense fighting spirit once again, golden flames burning fiercely. He used his last bit of strength to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, but before he could even bring it to his mouth, everything went black.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Karna's entire face slammed solidly into the empty plate mountain, rendering him completely unable to rise again.

"Pleasant, Lancer." Artoria calmly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

"I'll probably never forget you for the rest of my life!"

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka crouched down, utterly dejected, and covered her face with her hands. Shirou Emiya was also at a loss for words, and could only manage an awkward laugh.

"The answer is obvious!" Lin Shiye threw off his apron, raised his arms, and walked out.

"The winner of the second round is Saber, so I hereby declare the winners of this year's Eating Contest to be—Emiya Shirou and Saber!"

"Oh oh oh~" Lazy Zhen clapped her hands in agreement, with the ice cream spoon still in her mouth.

"Ugh, I've had enough!" Rin Tohsaka suddenly stood up, pointing angrily at Artoria.

"The match ended for no reason, huh? Lancer, go now and take down Saber!"

"Hey, Tohsaka!" Emiya Shirou felt a headache coming on. Why did they have to fight?

"I refuse, Master." Karna slowly raised his head from the pile of plates, his face still smeared with sauce, but his tone was unusually serious.

"Huh?" Rin Tohsaka was stunned.

"We have already lost this match, and I accept the result." Karna wiped the sauce off his face, his eyes showing no resentment, only pure admiration.

"To act now would be anything but heroic."

"You...I...ah~" Rin Tohsaka scratched her hair in frustration.

"I understand, okay?!"

After saying that, Rin Tohsaka glared at Shirou Emiya, turned around and left, stomping on Shiya's foot as she passed by.

Lin Shiye abruptly pulled his foot back, causing Rin Tohsaka to miss her step and nearly twist her ankle.

"You!" Rin Tohsaka blushed.

Lin Shiye looked up at the sky and whistled.

"Next time, I will defeat you, Saber!" Karna glanced at Artoria before leaving.

"I'm always ready." Artoria wore a victorious smile, clearly enjoying herself.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, Lin Shiye prepared to head home.

"See you tomorrow, Shirou."

"Ah, see you tomorrow." Emiya Shirou nodded, then added.

"Thank you, Shi Ye."

"Hey~ Don't talk about things that don't unite us." Lin Shiye waved his hand and turned to leave, with Lan Zhen slowly following after him on her jade throne.

On the road.

A gentle evening breeze blew, and the streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.

Lin Shiye stared at the jade seat beneath Lan Zhen's bottom, remaining silent.

"What's wrong, Master? Would you like to try?" Lazy Jeanne noticed the gaze, swung her dangling leg, and said slowly.

"I can make room for you~"

Can we do that on top...?

"Ahem, it's like this." Lin Shiye patted his head and said seriously.

"Could you please put this thing away? My grandfather is still at home, and he'll be frightened if he sees this."

"Besides, it's nighttime now, and there aren't many people outside... Normally, if you rode this thing out, you would definitely be seen by ordinary people."

"That makes a lot of sense." Lazy Zhen nodded in sudden realization, then sighed reluctantly.

"After I put it away, can Master carry me on his back? I really don't want to move."

This is what I want!

Lin Shiye revealed a triumphant smile and squatted down without saying a word.

"Oh, don't be so polite, come on up!"

Seeing this, Lan Zhen put away the jade seat and lightly straddled Lin Shiye's shoulders. Her two slender legs swung around, and her hands gently rested on the top of his head. Her whole body was soft and fluffy.

"Go go go, let's go~" Lin Shiye stood up and ran forward happily.

The back of his head was pressed against her soft, warm belly, and a faint, sweet scent of vanilla ice cream wafted from the tip of his nose.

Wait a minute, with this posture... if I turn my head, won't I just...

"Master, please put away your rude thoughts." Lazy Jeanne spoke lightly, with a hint of a smile that was hard to detect.

"Ahem, what rude thoughts? Xiaomei, what are you talking about?" Lin Shiye began to play dumb.

The two returned home noisily, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Grandpa Lin sitting at the work table in the living room, wearing reading glasses and reading the evening newspaper.

"Why are you back so late today..." The old man casually glanced up and was instantly stunned.

"Hey, old man!" Lin Shiye said smugly.

"Go get me two hearty dishes to celebrate my grandson's resounding victory tonight!"

"You...she..." Grandpa Lin pointed at Lin Shiye and then at Lanzhen on his shoulder, unable to speak for a moment.

"Hello, Grandpa," Lan Zhen greeted him in a flat tone.

Grandpa Lin was silent for three seconds.

Then he slowly stood up, turned around and picked up the ancestral feather duster from the corner of the wall, his eyes instantly turning fierce.

Lin Shiye: ?

Grandpa Lin: These are the amazing tools we'll be using next.

"You brat, I told you to find a girlfriend, and you've brought a little girl home?!" Grandpa Lin charged over like a wild beast.

"Is she an adult?!"

Compared to Mei Zhen and Shen Zhen, Lan Zhen does look more like a little girl.

Lin Shiye was so frightened that he ran around the room in panic. "Is she even an adult? She's definitely older than you!"

"What's wrong with little girls? Little girls are the best!" Lin Shiye shouted.

"Da Lei is the embodiment of evil!"

"What a misfortune for our family!" Grandpa Lin cursed angrily.

"Today, let's clean house for the Lin family!"
