In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"You're home? Yui and I are here too, let's come find you."

Yumiko replied to the text message quickly and seemed to be doing nothing wrong, but Kitagawa Kaimu became increasingly flustered.

Since they were all from out of town and had to come to Tokyo to study because their school was bombed, they couldn't go back to their own homes and all lived in the same student dormitory.

As fellow students of Shuchiin Academy, she, Yumiko, and Yui lived in apartments not far apart, or even in the same dormitory building!

If they really come to our door, wouldn't we be completely exposed?

"Hmm~"

The girl let out a mournful cry and slowly slid down to the ground, leaning against the wet wall.

The company will die, right? It's definitely going to die, right?

Even if he doesn't die, if Yumiko finds out he's in Kira's house, she'll definitely go crazy!

No, we absolutely cannot be discovered!

The girl sitting on the duck hurriedly picked up her phone and continued replying to the text message:

"No need, actually I'm going to work soon, so I'm just about to leave."

"Hey~ Working? No problem, we'll come with you. We're already downstairs~"

Kitagawa Kaimu suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Downstairs? But she wasn't home at all!

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't know how to respond, so she hurriedly wrapped herself in a towel and pushed open the bathroom door. She quickly locked Kira-kun's door from the inside and pulled up the security chain.

Then he returned to the bathroom and locked the door.

Although she knew this was an escape, and although she knew that Yumiko probably didn't know she was at Kira-kun's house.

But!

It's always good to have an extra layer of protection!

Otherwise, what if Yumiko guesses that I'm at Kira-kun's house and comes directly to my door?

Furthermore, Yumiko and Kira have known each other for so long, what if she happens to have a key to Kira's house?

Anyway!

Let's just pretend we don't exist!

As long as she pretends she's not here, no one will know she's here!

While escaping is shameful, it can be useful!

Ding!

Just as Kitagawa Kaimu was in a complete mess, Miura Yumiko sent her another message:

"Hai Meng, we're at your door! Can you open it for us?"

Kitagawa Kaimu subconsciously looked towards the door, even though she knew this was Kira-kun's house and that Yumiko probably didn't.

But she was just scared!

Who told her to feel guilty?

With mixed feelings, Kitagawa Kaimu carefully tapped the screen to reply to Yumiko:

"Sorry, I'm not actually home. I'm at my workplace right now."

"Hey? Why didn't you tell us sooner? Hai Meng, are you short of money lately?"

"Hmm, there should be something I want to buy."

"I see. So where do you work?"

As Miura Yumiko pressed her for answers, Kitagawa Kaimu grew increasingly nervous.

You can't exactly say you were working at Kira-kun's house, can you?

But if she makes things up, she'll definitely be exposed!

In her haste, the girl had a sudden inspiration and immediately replied:

"In a coffee shop, in Setagaya Ward."

Sorry, Nanami!

At a time like this, I can only use you as a shield!

"Sorry, another customer has arrived, I might not be able to reply to your text messages right now, please wait a moment."

After replying to the last message, Kitagawa Kaimu decisively put down her phone.

If it's not marked as 'read,' it means the message wasn't read, so not replying is understandable. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, just tell me if it was unread.

The girl returned to the bathtub barefoot and lay down, burying her head below her nose in the water.

No, she needs to calm down!

Glug~!

Ding!

That was a text message.

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"

Kitagawa Kaimu hugged her knees, muttering to herself guiltily.

-----------------

"That's a bit strange."

In front of Kitagawa Kaimu's apartment, a girl with slightly wavy blonde hair frowned slightly. "My intuition tells me that something is wrong with Kaimu!"

"Huh?"

Yui Yuigahama asked cautiously, "Could it be my imagination?"

"No! My intuition is always very accurate!"

Yumiko Miura glanced at Yui Yuigahama and said decisively, "Hai Meng is definitely hiding something from us!"

"But what could it be?"

Yui Yuigahama was a little troubled. She really couldn't figure it out with her intelligence! They were best friends, so what was there that couldn't be said? Hmm~, but some things are indeed like that, even to best friends you can't say them. Isn't that what she does herself?

Yumiko Miura was also a little unsure. What could be so important that even a good friend like her had to be kept from her?

Could it be that……

Miura Yumiko's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to Haimeng's family?

-----------------

Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel, "Angel Ladder".

Although Yoshikage Kira's working hours are from 6:00 to 10:00, there are very few customers in the first hour, so he mainly does various preparations. He officially opens for business at 7:00. Usually, the number of customers will gradually increase from 8:00 to 9:00, but it is rare for him to be too busy.

To avoid the situation where the boss thinks he's not busy enough, Yoshikage Kira has been working hard—for example, wiping cups, washing cups, and arranging cups.

Regardless of whether it's necessary or not, just tell me whether you've been working diligently or not!

"Kira-kun, Ms. Yukinoshita wants you to go to her office."

A waiter hurried to the bar and relayed his superior's instructions to Yoshikage Kira.

"I'll be right there."

Kira Yoshikage put down the cup he had wiped at least ten times, turned around and walked out of the bar towards Yukinoshita's office.

dong dong!

Walking down the corridor, Yoshikage Kira knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

A girl's clear voice responded from inside the house, and Yoshikage Kira pushed open the door and entered.

Yukino Yukinoshita, with shoulder-length short hair, was sitting on the sofa, chatting happily with a girl opposite her who had asymmetrical sideburns and bell-shaped earrings on her earlobes.

Yoshikage Kira walked up to the two of them and asked softly:

"Miss Yukinoshita, you were looking for me?"

Yukino looked up and saw Yoshikage Kira, who was smiling and pointing at the girl opposite him:

"Kira-kun, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Tsubame Koyasu."

"Miss Zi'an will be training with us for a period of time, working as a bartender just like you, with the same working hours. Therefore, you will be responsible for guiding her work."

"Kira-kun, nice to meet you. Please take care of me."

Zian Yan stood up, a gentle and sweet smile on her face.

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly:

"Hello, Ms. Koyasu."

Yukinoshita said with a hint of mockery:

"By the way, Miss Koyasu's father is a world-class bartender! Kira-kun, if you put in the effort, you might be able to learn some profound bartending techniques from her!"

"Oh, there's more."

Yukino Yukinoshita added at the end, "During the guidance period, your hourly wage will increase by 50%."

Kira Yoshikage, who had initially shown little interest, immediately became respectful:

"Ms. Koyasu, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

"Of course, Kira-kun, we'll definitely have a great time together."

The girl's smile remained gentle as she reached out her hand to Yoshikage Kira.

The girl's hands were unusually beautiful, slender and delicate, plump and fair, as if they shimmered with a soft glow under the light.

Faced with such hands, Yoshikage Kira simply couldn't refuse!

He reached out and gently grasped the girl's soft, boneless hand, and for a moment he was reluctant to let go.

I feel somewhat sorry for Kitagawa's efforts.
