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

Lin Shiye went to see Aya, Huiyao, and Yachiyo's collaboration concert as promised. To be honest, watching Aya and Yachiyo flirting on stage, while Huiyao acted like a helpless wife, he couldn't help but laugh.

Then, just like in the original story, the despicable moon people tore through the stage's light curtain and rushed in, trying to get close to Huiyao, but were fiercely suppressed by Yachiyo's small hand. Lin Shiye took advantage of the chaos to grab a little moon person and start observing it.

It feels soft, cool, and a little numb to the touch, like a leaky battery…

I'd like to see who dares to shock me! (Little girl is the best!!!)

Lin Shiye tugged hard at the moon figurine's pale body.

These beings' life forms can be understood as a kind of thought entity without a physical body, similar to electronic signals.

What about Arcueid and those true progenitors?

Who are the true moon people?

The question was extinguished as soon as it came up; it was pointless. Lin Shiye casually tossed the squeaky little moon man back onto the stage, where it landed right at Yachiyo's feet.

On stage, Yachiyo winked at him knowingly, then picked up the microphone, her smile perfectly sweet:

"That was a special interactive segment we prepared for everyone. Were you startled?"

A burst of cheers and applause erupted from the audience. The Moon People's first attempt came to a quiet end, and the concert successfully came to a close.

"Huiyao? Are you alright?" Caiye helped the unsteady Huiyao backstage, her voice full of worry.

She was a little flustered. The strange thing had touched Huiyao's arm, and afterwards she seemed to have been de-energized, becoming dazed and confused. Although she wasn't usually very bright, she was at least full of energy.

"Ah... um?" Huiyao shuddered, as if he had finally turned on.

"I'm fine, Aya."

"You're probably too tired. Go back to sleep early," Lin Shiye said as he walked over.

"Yes, everyone has worked hard today!" Yachiyo smiled and came over, her gaze sweeping over Huiyao, but she didn't say anything more.

This sounded reasonable, but Aya still frowned, uneasy.

"Indeed, then let's go back to sleep, Caiye." Huiyao gave a bright smile and turned to wave at Lin Shiye.

"Bye-bye, Dad! I'm logging off now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure turned into a speck of light and disappeared from the spot.

Aya also bid farewell to the two, saying, "Then I'll log off too, Yachiyo, Tokiyo, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lin Shiye nodded.

When only the two of them were left backstage, the air was quiet for a few seconds.

"You saw those things," Yachiyo said first, not in a question, but as a statement of certainty.

Lin Shiye did not deny it.

"Then...can you handle it?" she asked again, her voice carrying a hint of tension that was barely perceptible.

"Of course," Lin Shiye said.

"I am the strongest."

Upon hearing this, Yachiyo smiled faintly, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of bitterness.

"I'm actually a little... envious of her."

"..." Lin Shiye looked at her and paused.

"If you're willing, I can help you after this is over. I can help you truly return to Caiye's side, not in this way."

"You can even do something like this?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yachiyo's eyes.

"Yes." Lin Shiye nodded.

"Then you need to..."

"No need," Yachiyo shook her head, gently interrupting him. She looked up at the still-lit colored lights above the stage, her expression tender.

"I'm already very satisfied with things as they are now."

"After all, I'm now, after all, an idol promoted by Ayaha~"

As she spoke, she winked playfully and made a peace sign.

"You have a really good attitude." Lin Shiye was amused by her.

"A good mindset is the secret to staying young." Yachiyo turned around, put her hands behind her back, and slowly walked towards the exit.

"Well then, let's talk about the rest later. It's time to go back to sleep."

As she reached the doorway, she suddenly turned to look at Lin Shiye, who was still standing there, and spoke in a drawn-out, soft voice:

"Thank you for thinking of me. Goodnight, Dad."

Lin Shiye's pupils dilated slightly, and he took half a step back, almost collapsing to the ground.

"...Oh, you...you did this so suddenly, my heart can't take it."

"Could you call out one more time? This is my lifelong request!"

Yachiyo didn't say anything more, her figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only her happy laughter in the air.

…………

Lin Shiye took off his contact lenses and sat up straight on the bed.

He felt a little smug and wanted to transform into Oddish and go for a stroll outside.

"This is the child I pushed~" He wiped away non-existent tears into the air, clutched his chest as if he were having an acting fit, and performed with great emotion.

Even though there were no spectators around…

Nobody saw A-Ye's absolutely brilliant crying scene, A-Ye is so embarrassed!

"You make me so eager, quack—!"

"You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful~"

"Hello, who is it?" Lin Shiye answered the phone.

"It's me, Rin Tohsaka!" came an anxious voice from the other end of the phone.

"The Emiya family, come quickly!"

Lin Shiye glanced at his watch.

"What's up? It's time for dinner."

"Forget about dinner, I have something very important to say!" Rin Tohsaka said, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again in a tone so sweet it was almost sickening.

"Shi Ye, please come quickly, I need you, please, please come quickly~"

Lin Shiye's expression changed instantly, and his demeanor became much more rugged.

"I just can't do anything with you, just you wait!"

After saying that, he grabbed his clothes and ran downstairs.

"Shi Ye, where are you going?" Tamamo-no-Mae poked her head out from the kitchen, looking at the other person's hurried back with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't you going to eat dinner?"

"The world needs me to save it." Lin Shiye changed his shoes, turned around, and struck what he thought was a cool pose.

"You guys can have dinner, Ghana~"
