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

"It's that time of year again for white photo albums..."

Even though it was a holiday, Lin Shiye woke up early in the morning. He leaned against the window, looking at the white world outside, propping his head up, and thinking about who he should bother... no, who he should hang out with.

It started snowing last night after I finished drinking with Jojo and the others. It snowed sporadically all night, and the snow on the ground is now a thick layer.

Getting around isn't very convenient; his flashy pink electric scooter is practically useless now.

"Master, are you awake?" A gentle knock came from outside the door.

"You're here." Lin Shiye opened the door.

"Master, breakfast is ready, please have your meal~" Tamamo-no-Mae curtsied slightly, giving an elegant bow.

"Hmm~" Lin Shiye immediately put his hands behind his back and nodded in a pretentious manner.

"My beloved consort truly understands my heart."

"I'm glad Master is happy." Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth and chuckled.

The two walked downstairs side by side to the dining table, where Afu and Lanzhen were already seated.

"Good morning, Master!" Afu waved energetically.

"Shall we go out for a snowball fight later?"

"A snowball fight?" Lin Shiye pulled out a chair, sat down, and shook his head seriously.

"You're not a little kid anymore, Afu. We're going to play some adult games."

"A...a game for adults?" Afu tilted his head in confusion.

"What is it?"

"I don't know," Lin Shiye said seriously.

Afu: "..."

"I also want to have a snowball fight, Master~" Tamamo-no-Mae sat down next to him, her voice trailing off softly, with a hint of coquetry.

"Since my beloved concubine has spoken, then I will reluctantly indulge you in your antics this time." Lin Shiye looked like he really couldn't do anything about it.

Lin Shiye isn't incapable of being King Zhou of Shang.

Afu gave him a speechless look.

"Master, this is favoritism, this is differential treatment."

"The main problem is that I really haven't figured out what to do yet," Lin Shiye shrugged, quite frankly.

"Since we don't know what to do, let's just stay home!" Lazy Zhen stopped eating, her eyes lighting up.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shiye raised an eyebrow.

"It means, let's fall into depravity together!" Lazy Zhen said confidently.

"Anyway, I don't know what to do. The snow outside is so thick, it will be difficult to walk. I might as well stay at home, drink some hot tea, eat some snacks, and snuggle into the warm kotatsu for a nice nap."

A kotatsu? Element detected!

Lin Shiye still wanted to get into the kotatsu with Mrs. Mira.

"That sounds pretty good." He stroked his chin and nodded.

"Right, right!" Lazy Zhen visibly cheered up, leaning forward slightly.

"But I refuse!" Lin Shiye's demeanor suddenly changed.

"I, Lin Shiye, am inherently rebellious. Besides, we just woke up; this isn't even a nap, is it?"

"Ugh~ What is this?" Lazy Zhen completely deflated.

"Isn't it nice to just laze around at home all day?"

"By the way, where's the old man?" Lin Shiye suddenly realized that someone was missing from the dining table.

Grandpa Lin: You thought of me? You thought of me?!

I thought I no longer had a place in this family!

"Grandpa just broke up with Grandma Wang and he's a bit depressed, so he went out for a walk early this morning to clear his head," Tamamo-no-Mae said softly.

"Pfft..." Lin Shiye almost spat out the white porridge in his mouth.

His aunt... disappeared.

"Master, you're going too far," Afu complained.

"How could you laugh at Grandpa?"

"Whoever laughed at me, I'll sue you for defamation!" Lin Shiye denied it to the death.

Breakfast ended quickly amidst laughter and chatter. Lin Shiye took Tamamo-no-Mae and Afu out for a snowball fight as promised, leaving Lanzhen alone in the empty room, where she finally got to crawl into the kotatsu.

While the atmosphere here is warm and cozy, the scene on the other side of the snow field is completely different.

"Ughh ...

Emiya Shirou was scrambling through the snow, stumbling and crawling in a very disheveled state.

"Come on, Coyote! With your small frame, I could knock you down with one punch!" Tsukasa Kadoya, wearing sunglasses, followed leisurely in his Daiyun car, his tone incredibly arrogant.

"Oh dear, the roads are so slippery in this snowy weather. If someone doesn't brake in time, they'll be in big trouble!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the wheels suddenly slipped, and the entire vehicle slid straight down the snow slope toward Shirou Emiya.

"Holy crap!" Emiya Shirou immediately put on the Pain Mask.

Under a tree not far away, Matou Sakura and Artoria watched quietly.

"Is he really okay with this kind of training method?" Matou Sakura asked in a low voice with some concern.

Artoria remained silent for a moment. Although she couldn't understand this training method, this person was recommended by Shi Ye. She figured that this outrageous training method must have some profound meaning that others couldn't fathom... probably.

She couldn't help but recall how this man had unreasonably pushed Shirou Emiya into the mirror before. Although she didn't know what happened inside the mirror, Shirou came out looking quite disheveled.

Although it wasn't seriously injured, it looked like it had really burned out.

.........

Back at the watch shop.

Lanzhen lay peacefully in the kotatsu, while Lin Shiye returned alone.

Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes and looked at her master with curiosity.

"Why are you back so soon? Where are they?"

"Oh, Ah Fu got carried away and punched someone's courtyard wall and it collapsed." Lin Shiye lifted the quilt from the kotatsu and crawled in, lying down next to her as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Tamamo-no-Mae dragged him to their door to apologize."

Lazy Zhen: "?"

It's all the fault of evaporating reason, tormenting our sweet and soft Afu-chan every day!!!

"Hmph, you should have listened to me earlier." Lazy Zhen looked smug and shrank even deeper into the kotatsu.

"Hiss... Indeed, once you're in, you don't want to leave." Lin Shiye looked conflicted.

Yo-yo, Lin Shiye!

There's so much fun out there waiting for you, how can you just stay home and wallow in self-pity? Staying home on your days off is a waste of time, sleeping in during school hours is the real way to live!

Help me break through the cauldron!!!

Lazy Jeanne silently watched as the expressions on her Master's face changed, until finally she went limp like a dead pig.

"If I could hug you..." Lin Shiye suddenly turned his head, looking serious.

Lan Zhen stared blankly at the other person's shameless behavior, speechless for a moment.

Finally, she turned her back to Lin Shiye and whispered:

"You can only hug me once."

Lin Shiye immediately moved closer and pulled her small body into his arms from behind.

"Wow, it's warmer now!"

Although he wasn't afraid of the cold, this feeling was very comfortable.

Like a kitten, it smells sweet when you suck on it.
