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

Time slipped away unnoticed, dusk gradually spread across the campus sky, and the prelude to the fireworks display was already faintly floating in the evening breeze.

As soon as they came out of the library, Mei Zhen turned to Lin Shiye, who was walking beside her, and struck up a conversation:

"Master, I know a place with a great view. Would you like to go together?"

"Is this an invitation?" Lin Shiye's smile became increasingly unrestrained, unable to be suppressed.

"Yes," Mei Zhen replied softly, her tone tinged with a gentle smile. She paused and then added.

"It's a date."

Lin Shiye felt like he was flying to heaven. Going on a date with an angel was just too too too... blissful!!!

Damn it, pigeon, come down here and cook two dishes for me!

"That's well said, but there's still some time before the fireworks. Shall we go eat first?" he asked.

"Okay, I'll do whatever Master says." Mei Zhen nodded.

What else is there to say, bro!

Lin Shiye began frantically recalling which classes were in charge of catering, and finally chose a restaurant that he thought was pretty good.

The two quickly arrived at their destination. After sitting down and ordering their food, Lin Shiye took out his phone, which he hadn't looked at in a long time. To his surprise, the screen was filled with a dense stream of messages.

Sake-sama: Shall we have dinner together later...?

Huiyao: Dad, come to the lawn and enjoy the view! I made lots of sandwiches! Caiye and I are waiting for you here! (Attached is a selfie)

Aya Tsumugi: I've prepared a yukata for you to wear to the fireworks festival. Would you like to try it on?

Rin Tohsaka: You probably haven't eaten yet, right? I found a pretty good restaurant, want to try it?

Tamamo-no-Mae: Master, today I learned how to make a super-sized cake at the Gourmet Research Club. Would you be my taste tester? (Attached is a picture of the super-sized cake)

Afu: Master, the food street is so lively here, do you want to come and play together?

Ning Meng: Shi Ye, I'm here! Where are you? Can you watch the fireworks with me tonight?

Momoka Kawara: Our band will be performing later, would you like to come and watch?

Hayasaka Ai: I wonder what Kaguya-san is doing with the president. I'm free right now, want to go for a walk together?

Bai Yingui: Shi Ye, my older brother and dad have disappeared. Can you come and keep me company?

Hikigaya Komachi: Tokiya-nii, my brother and the others are going to do something interesting later, do you want to come?

Yui Yuigahama: Kobayashi, today is the final step of the commission. Will you participate?

Fujiwara Chika: Tokiyo, I have some super fun game activities here!!

“…………”

This is really putting me in a difficult position!

Lin Shiye shook his head helplessly, his face showing an expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you guys."

Should we cancel everything?

Lin Shiye looked at Mei Zhen, who happened to look back at him as well.

Spending all my time with Xiaomei, peacefully waiting to watch the fireworks, was truly wonderful...

But that's the mindset of a useless person!

Lin Shiye's lips curled into a defiant smile.

Don't underestimate the king of time!

"I'll go buy you a cup of milk tea." He stood up with a straight face, his expression so natural that there was no trace of his true intentions.

"Wait here for me, Mei~"

"Yes, Master." Mei Zhen nodded gently and watched him leave.

Lin Shiye had just stepped out of the shop when...

Time, stop! Zawaludoo!!!

The world seemed to fall silent instantly; the wind froze in mid-air, and pedestrians stood still. Lin Shiye's fingers flew across the keyboard, replying to each message with lightning speed, before he took off running towards his first destination.

Inside the shop, Mei Zhen watched his hurried departure, tilted her head helplessly, and tapped the table lightly with her fingertips.

.........

"Whoa! Dad, when did you appear?!"

As soon as Huiyao turned around, she saw that Lin Shiye had already sat down next to Caiye, which startled her so much that she almost dropped her sandwich.

Caiye, who was standing next to her, also trembled, clearly startled.

"I rushed over as soon as I received your message~" Lin Shiye said without batting an eye, as if it were the truth.

"Really...?" Caiye turned her face away, her ear tips turning slightly red.

"Dad, try this!" Huiyao excitedly handed over a sandwich.

"I made them all!"

"Our Huiyao is amazing!" Lin Shiye took it and took a big bite, showing great respect.

"Delicious!" he said, giving a thumbs up.

Watching the two of them bickering, Caiye smiled with relief. Ever since the accident at the last performance, she had been worried that Huiyao might be taken away by her people someday.

But Aya didn't want that; she was certain she didn't want Huiyao to leave.

I wish these peaceful days could last forever…

"Oh dear!" Lin Shiye suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Aya asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly needed to use the restroom." Lin Shiye waved his hand with a smile and turned to run away.

"Wait a moment~"

.........

"Reed catkins~"

The person arrived before the voice.

"Kobayashi, you're here!" Aya Tsumugi Roka's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his hand and led him into the fitting room.

"How can you attend a fireworks festival without wearing a yukata? Come and try on the one I prepared for you!"

The reeds were already eye-catching today, and her eye for choosing clothes was as steady as ever.

Men's yukatas are not as elaborate as women's ones, and their style is simpler, which perfectly accentuates a person's tall and straight figure. Paired with Lin Shiye's face, passersby can't help but turn their heads frequently.

"Not bad, not bad, it looks just as good as I imagined!" Lu Hua clapped her hands with a smile in her eyes.

"Luhua, you're amazing!" Lin Shiye laughed and picked her up, lifting her high in the air.

"Handsome men and beautiful women, how wonderful..." A passerby couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is youth!" A boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut said, his eyes welling up with tears.

"...Put me down quickly!" Lu Hua's face turned bright red as she gently patted his shoulder.

Lin Shiye knew when to stop and immediately put the person down.

"Thank you for your hard work, Luhua. I'll go buy you a milk tea!" As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shiye turned and ran.

"Hey!" Lu Hua stretched out her hand, about to say that she had already bought it, but in the blink of an eye she disappeared.
