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

They rushed to the Emiya residence without stopping, only to be greeted by Xiaoming, who was dressed in an apron and looked like a stay-at-home dad.

"Yo~" He leaned against the door frame, his voice trailing off in a casual yet flamboyant tone.

"Oh my god." Lin Shiye's gaze swept over the apron on his body, which looked completely out of place, and his lips twitched.

"You seem to be living a pretty comfortable life?"

"It's alright," Tsukasa Kadoya said casually as he turned and walked into the house.

"Come in, make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Do you need to tell me?!

Lin Shiye rolled his eyes and followed closely behind with Mei Zhen.

Upon entering the living room, this is the scene that greets you:

At the long dining table, Rin Tohsaka, Illya, Artoria, Shirou Emiya, and Sakura Matou sat on either side, each with a different expression, while at the far end, in the main seat, sat a beautiful woman with white hair and red eyes.

"Oh, everyone's here." Lin Shiye was a little surprised; the Emiya family's dining table was practically a conference room.

"Tokiyo, you've finally arrived." Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found his pillar of support, and quickly moved closer.

"Is this your backer?" The white-haired woman sitting in the main seat spoke slowly, her gaze carrying a hint of casual scrutiny.

She chuckled softly.

"Hmm... It's certainly something else that could make an angel willingly fall into depravity and follow behind."

Upon hearing this, Mei Zhen frowned.

"Ishtar, the goddess of Venus, truly lives up to her name."

The sarcasm in her words was palpable, but Ishtar seemed oblivious. She twirled a strand of white hair at her temple with her fingertips, and said to Lin Shiye with a smug and flippant expression:

"So, how about considering following me? Compared to boring, rigid angels, I, the goddess, should be much more attractive, right?"

Lin Shiye gave her a deep look, but didn't reply. He turned his head and raised his chin at Emiya Shirou.

"So, what exactly is going on?"

Emiya Shirou composed himself, organized his thoughts, and slowly recounted the whole story.

.........

"Emiya Shirou!" A golden voice, carrying immense pressure, crashed down from mid-air.

"Get out here and pay your respects to me!"

With such a commotion, it was hard to ignore. Artoria was the first to push open the door and come out.

"Archer?" She donned her armor and gripped the invisible sword in her hand.

"If you want to fight, I'd be happy to oblige."

Jin Shanshan glanced at her briefly before looking away.

"Step back, Saber. I am not here to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shirou Emiya followed him out, completely bewildered. He looked up at the King of Heroes in the sky, his face contorted with rage, his mind blank.

No, I didn't do anything to him, did I?

"Finally, you've come out." Gilgamesh sneered, then drew his sword, Ea.

Emiya Shirou's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, what did you pull out?"

He couldn't analyze the weapon in his opponent's hand at all, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Is there some misunderstanding between us?" Shirou Emiya racked his brains to reassure the other party. Putting aside whether fighting in the city would be too conspicuous, he was certain that he would lose his house.

"There's no misunderstanding." Gilgamesh's Ea sword began to spin rapidly, unleashing a violent gust of wind.

"You can transform, can't you? Show me!"

"What transformation? I don't know!" Emiya Shirou projected a long sword into his hand.

"What are you talking about?"

Gilgamesh's hands moved without pause, the immense energy emanating from Ea tearing through the clouds. Just as the attack was about to strike, Artoria quickly released the holy sword from her hand.

Under Xiaoming's training, Shirou Emiya has made great progress, and even Artoria has benefited from it, at least now she can unleash her ultimate skill once.

"Why are you wasting your breath talking to him, Shirou!" Artoria brandished her holy sword, and golden magical power suddenly erupted from the blade.

"Excalibur!"

"Enuma Elish! (The Star of Creation, the Star of Opening)"

"Yamete!" Emiya Shirou cried out in despair.

No, his house... is about to melt away like cream.

Just at the critical moment, a blurry gray curtain appeared out of thin air and instantly swallowed up the two world-destroying attacks, along with Artoria and Gilgamesh.

It was Brother Xiaoming who stepped in; his house was really alright...

"Stop!" Lin Shiye picked up a steamed bun from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't rush, let's continue with what happened next."

"Right behind us, Tohsaka heard the commotion and rushed over," Shirou Emiya mumbled, taking a bite of his bun.

"Then, the teacher and Saber returned with Illya, this woman, and a strangely long Berserker."

"So you guys killed Gilgamesh?" Lin Shiye asked Xiaoming.

"It's none of my business, I'm just watching the show." Tsukasa Kadoya shrugged.

"To be precise, it was this goddess, Hercules, and that Berserker who did it," Artoria added.

"I did it~" Ishtar chimed in, raising her chin slightly, looking quite smug.

"Golden Sparkle? That's an interesting nickname." She took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"I once bestowed my blessing, and if you ever encounter that arrogant king and that wretched puppet again, I, Ishtar, will descend and fight with all my might to protect you humans from them~"

This guy is really talking to himself...

Rin Tohsaka remained silent on the surface, but inwardly she was ranting and raving.

"Who asked you?" Lin Shiye retorted without any politeness, then turned to look at Ilya, who was lying on the table, looking utterly bored.

Ilya met his gaze and shrugged helplessly.

Lin Shiye understood. Although Ishtar was a puppet of the Einzbern family, Ilya was helpless and couldn't control this self-willed goddess.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to this goddess." Ishtar's face darkened, and she glanced at Mei Zhen, who was standing quietly to the side, and sneered.

"What, you're relying on that angel behind you to back you up?"

"Where is Jin Shanshan's body?" Lin Shiye asked to himself, as if he hadn't heard her at all.

"He was taken away by that wretched doll, but this goddess will deal with him soon." Ishtar frowned, not understanding why he was asking this.

"Then why are you still lingering here?" Lin Shiye added.

"Of course I'm interested in you participants in the Holy Grail War. Besides, you should feel honored to serve me," Ishtar said matter-of-factly, as if it were some great favor.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiye stroked his chin, his gaze suddenly falling on Rin Tohsaka.

"...?" Rin Tohsaka stretched out her fair finger and pointed to herself in confusion.

Lin Shiye didn't say anything, but grabbed her wrist and walked outside.

"What are you doing?" Rin Tohsaka asked, her face flushed, as she was suddenly pulled away.

"Do you want to...?" Lin Shiye leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words quickly.

The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Rin Tohsaka's mind went blank for a moment, but when she heard what was said, her eyes widened instantly.

"Huh?!" she exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you sure? You can do that?"

"Of course." Lin Shiye crossed his arms, looking confident.

"Give me a nod, and I'll go deal with her right now."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Rin Tohsaka scratched her cheek, still a little hesitant, but when she met Tokiyo Hayashi's expectant gaze, she finally nodded.

"Then... I'll leave it to you."

Lin Shiye grinned, turned around, and strode back into the house.

While the others were still wondering, Mei Zhen and Xiao Ming had already quietly distanced themselves from each other.

"What's wrong? Staring straight at this goddess, are you perhaps smitten?" Ishtar covered her mouth and chuckled, her tone as if bestowing charity.

"Very well, this goddess will take pity on you and grant you a chance to follow me—"

boom--!!

Before the words were even finished, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted. A huge hole was blasted through the roof of the Emiya family's house, and amidst the billowing smoke, Ishtar was sent flying backward.

"You're insane!" She hovered in mid-air, her pupils shrinking, her face filled with disbelief.
