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

"Ugh—really, sister, you've gone too far!"

After the performance, Hongxia immediately saw her older sister dragging a Peppa Pig toy out of the theater, and she was so frightened that she rushed forward to stop her.

"Our performance was able to go smoothly thanks to this gentleman, how could you treat him like this?"

"Nijika-chan..." Lin Shiye reached out his hand, but before he could say anything, Ijichi Hoshika stood firmly in front of Nijika, like a mother cat with her fur standing on end.

"You stay right there and don't come any closer!" she said firmly.

"Fine, you're so heartless, shopkeeper." Lin Shiye said, slowly taking off the pig mask to reveal the face that had captivated countless girls.

Hongxia was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide with disbelief. She had assumed that the person behind the mask was a disheveled middle-aged man who loved music and girl bands, or a shy, nerdy guy with glasses. She never expected him to be such a handsome man with exceptionally good looks!

The other three members of the band joined in. Yamada Ryo whistled, like a scoundrel harassing a respectable woman. Kita Ikuyo's cheeks flushed slightly, while Goto Ichiri...

She was about to die on the spot.

Yes, it's that perverted naked man!

Boqi-chan pressed herself stiffly against the wall, trying to minimize her presence. How...how scary! Why is he here? Is he here to silence her?

Breathe, breathe, breathe...

Pochi was panting heavily, her head covered in sweat.

I can breathe, right? I won't be killed, will I...?

"My name is Lin Shiye, and I'm a fan of yours." Lin Shiye gave the four of them a gentle smile.

"The performance was fantastic! May I take a picture with you all?"

"No way!" Ijichi Hoshika refused without even thinking and reached out to push him away.

"The performance tonight is over. All unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately."

"Sister, how can you talk like that!" Hongxia frowned, pulled Xingge's hand away, and looked at her seriously.

"Mr. Lin is a good person, it's just a photo, nothing to it."

What Ichi Hoshika feared most was that her innocent and naive younger sister would be completely fooled by the other person's handsome face, ultimately losing both her heart and her reputation.

The initial encounter with the killer was too insidious.

"Sister, this is my lifelong request." Ijichi Hoshika had no other choice. She placed her hands on Nijika's shoulders, her expression trembling and contorted.

"Don't go near him, it's hell ahead..."

"That's too much, sister." Hongxia's lips twitched.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shiye chuckled, then waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving behind only a solitary figure.

"It's okay, we'll wait for another opportunity. Looking forward to your next song, Ghana~"

Lin Shiye's departure was perfectly timed; only after his figure disappeared through the door did Hongxia, hands on her hips, huff and puff, say to Xingge:

"Look, look, how considerate Mr. Lin is! Knowing you were unhappy, he left without saying a word."

She paused, her eyes sparkling: "Next time I see him, I must treat him to a meal to thank him properly."

Upon hearing this, Ijichi Seika froze on the spot, her entire body turning into a gray-white statue.

.........

Lin Shiye checked the messages on his phone. The two beasts had already left. It seemed that the plate of Mapo Tofu had really affected their performance tonight.

I should go home now...

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Shiye saw a familiar figure standing under the streetlight.

"Hey, Xiao Ai." Lin Shiye put his phone back in his pocket and waved.

"You haven't left yet? Were you waiting for me?"

Hayasaka Ai looked him up and down before speaking:

"I watched as the store manager dragged you away, and I thought you were going to die. I never expected you to walk out completely unharmed."

"Because they're all captivated by your handsome looks," Lin Shiye said narcissistically.

"Heh, your face can only fool young girls you've just met," Hayasaka Ai retorted mercilessly.

The two walked side by side down the street at night. The evening breeze carried a slight coolness, dispelling the heat of the livehouse. The convenience stores along the roadside still had their warm yellow lights on, and occasionally, late-night pedestrians would hurry by.

"I'll take you home," Lin Shiye said, then paused and added.

"Is it the Shinomiya family?"

"Hmm." Hayasaka Ai took out her phone, turned on the screen, and showed the message interface to Lin Shiye.

"Kaguya-san is urging me to go back. Ah... I feel like I'm going to be busy again."

"You've worked really hard." Lin Shiye nodded, then gave a thumbs up in approval.

"But I think that's what makes you so charming, Miss Maid."

Hayasaka Ai's pupils contracted slightly, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Her face was flushed, and she fiddled with the stray hairs by her ear.

"Really? Thank you."

The two walked slowly, neither speaking. Time seemed to stretch out; fewer and fewer pedestrians appeared on the street, and even the vehicles became sparse.

Hayasaka Ai stopped walking when the magnificent mansion came into view, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

"I'm home." Hayasaka Ai turned to look at Hayashi Shiya.

"I'm going in now, you should go home early too."

"Okay, goodbye." After watching the other person go inside completely, Lin Shiye waited a few seconds before disappearing from the spot in a flash.

We found a secluded mountain road nearby, where there were very few vehicles, let alone pedestrians.

Lin Shiye stopped, looked around at the empty surroundings, and spoke in a deep voice:

"Come out, you've been following me all this way, are you a pervert?"

After he finished speaking, there was a two-second silence in the air. Then a figure descended from the sky, carrying flames that could burn everything, and slammed down hard on Lin Shiye.

boom---!

The immense force caused the ground to cave in, sending rocks flying everywhere. A blazing fire roared at the bottom of the pit, the intense heat distorting the air.

Lin Shiye's figure appeared not far away. He easily dodged the sneak attack, then patted the dust off his clothes before looking at the person who had come.

It was a short, volcano-shaped cursed spirit.

One of the Four Calamities, a top-tier cursed spirit, the Water Clock.

"Looks like you came here specifically to cause me trouble," Lin Shiye said casually, his hands in his pockets.

"They didn't lay a hand on me on the way home; that's quite considerate."

"Insignificant ants, not worth mentioning," the water clock scoffed.

"Now that the burden is gone, if you lose again, you'll have nothing to say."

"You've already assumed you can beat me?" Lin Shiye's lips curled up, though it was difficult, he still managed to hold back.

The water clock didn't say anything more and launched a fierce attack on Lin Shiye, but the latter just snapped his fingers and everything around him froze instantly.

"The farce is over." Lin Shiye reached out, ready to kill Louhu directly, but unexpectedly, the opponent moved again in the next moment, and the attack hit his face directly, and flames instantly engulfed his whole body.

"Yes, the farce is over." Louhu smiled smugly, then turned and left.

"Just a mere brat, yet those guys hyped you up like you're some kind of god. That's all you're capable of. Next up is Gojo Satoru..."

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp ticking sound of a clock rang out from the flames behind him.

"Rider time!"

The water clock suddenly turned around, its pupils shrinking sharply.

The raging flames were instantly dispersed by a gust of wind, and the silver-black armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

Zi-O I, wielding the Time Limit Sword, stood firmly in place, without a single mark on his armor, let alone any injury.

"So, I'm very curious." Lin Shiye's voice came through the armor, tinged with a hint of confusion.

"How did you manage to undo the time freeze on me?"

"How is that possible?" Louhu stared wide-eyed.

"If you took a direct hit from me, even if you survived, how could you possibly be completely unharmed?!"

Lin Shiye frowned. He thought about it carefully and then realized something was wrong. His contact with the world of sorcery was limited to the night Itajimaru ate his finger for the first time. Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Megumi were both smart people, and it was highly unlikely that they would report anything about him.

Therefore, his information should be unknown to the world of sorcery, and it is even impossible for them to pay attention to an ordinary person like him.

It's quite interesting that Louhu came to kill him with such a specific purpose.

Did the real person not die?

Lin Shiye couldn't help but think of it.
