Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

……

On the other side, in Chiba, at the Ocean Park.

Sunlight spilled onto the azure water, creating ripples of silver light.

Wow! This dolphin is so cute!

Lina, dressed in casual clothes, leaned on the railing like an ordinary girl, watching the figures swimming in the water with sparkling eyes.

"Right, right! I think so too!"

Daigo stood beside her, grinning foolishly.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the dolphins leaped joyfully out of the water, performing a beautiful somersault, splashing large amounts of sparkling water directly onto the two of them.

"Oh! How naughty it is!" Lina covered her mouth and chuckled, wiping the water off her face.

Daigo chuckled and wiped the water off his face, then squatted down and touched the dolphin's head through the railing.

He felt that all the fatigue of the past few days had been completely washed away by the splash of water.

Lina squatted down beside her, her face full of affection.

Just as this leisurely atmosphere was about to heat up.

"DiDi! DiDi!"

The phone in Daigo's pocket suddenly rang.

"Wait a minute, Lina, I need to take this call..."

Daigo stood up, frantically pulled out his phone, and pressed the answer button without even looking at the screen.

"Hello? This is Daigo Madoka."

The next second, the intermediary's voice, like a devil's pronouncement, came from the phone.

"Team Leader Daigo, your vacation is canceled. Headquarters orders you to immediately proceed to Tokyo to carry out a special investigation mission."

"..."

Daigo's bright smile froze completely in an instant.

He stared blankly at his phone, listening to the busy tone, as if he could hear the sound of his young heart shattering.

Chapter 104 Akihabara

"Holy crap, Kaisan, where did you bring me? Is this still Tokyo?"

Duan Zilian leaned against the glass window, looking out the car with a suspicious expression.

Along the way, they avoided the bright national highway and deliberately ventured into the dilapidated bungalow areas with messy electrical wires.

Finally, Hong Kai skillfully drifted the car and stopped it in a dark alley.

"What do you know?" Hong Kai pulled out the key, giving him a look that said, "You've never seen anything like this before."

"Do you know how expensive parking is in downtown Tokyo? Parking there for an hour can cost you half your life. We park here, the police won't even bother to come in and give us a ticket, it's very safe."

"That's true... but how did you know about these remote, secluded paths?"

Duan Zilian jumped off the car and stepped onto the slightly damp cement ground.

“I came to Tokyo a long time ago.” Hong Kai tilted his head back and smiled like a seasoned veteran.

"I didn't expect that after so much time, the buildings in this dark corner would still remain unchanged."

"Okay...you've lived a long life, so you're right about everything."

Duan Zilian was speechless and turned to look at Wei Lai, who was getting off the bus beside her.

"Then... what about Future-san? Did you come to the Central District before when you were on Earth?"

“I used to be stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo, and the base was in the suburbs. Because of the need to prepare for monsters, I rarely had private time, and I didn’t come to bustling places like the city center much.”

Future smiled somewhat sheepishly.

"Okay, let's hope Kaisang is reliable."

"Alright, you can't go wrong following me." Hong Kai looked at the digital watch in the car; it was exactly 10 a.m.

"Just park the car here, and then we'll just walk along this road."

Hong Kai pushed open the car door and strode ahead. Duan Zilian looked at the dark road in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Honestly, I always have this feeling that I've been kidnapped and sold into a black brick kiln..."

……

Ten minutes later, Duan Zilian followed Hong Kai out of the alley. When his vision suddenly opened up, he couldn't help but sigh at the scene before him.

The high-rise buildings in front of me were all covered with huge anime posters, and the most popular anime openings of the season were playing on a loop on a huge electronic screen.

Along both sides of the street, countless beautiful girls dressed as maids were smiling and handing out flyers to passersby.

"Is this...Akihabara?"

"That's right, Akihabara is right outside here."

Hong Kai, seeing Duan Zilian's stunned expression, proudly put his hands on his hips.

"I think you young people would like this kind of thing. As a senior, I was indeed too thoughtful."

“Indeed…” Duan Zilian was overwhelmed with admiration.

In Chiba, most of the people he saw had black or yellow hair, with the exception of a very few with pink hair.

But here, colorful hair and a dazzling array of cosplay are everywhere, as if an anime has come to life.

He stood at the intersection, watching the crowd surge.

Not far away, a silver-haired man strolled casually down the street, picking his ear while exchanging a heated argument with the bespectacled guy next to him.

Behind them, a girl in a cheongsam with a Chinese-style bun hairstyle looked at them with a wicked expression.

At the entrance of an electronics store on the other side, a boy in a black trench coat was trying out a new VR headset, while a girl with long chestnut hair looked at him with a smile.

Looking further into the crowd, four girls carrying instrument bags were running past in a panic. The pink-haired girl's body was contorting and twisting as if she were about to turn into pieces and disappear at any moment.

"It's so lively..." Duan Zilian exclaimed, feeling quite relaxed by the vibrant noise.

"Duan-kun! Let's go check it out over there!" Like a child on vacation, Wei Lai excitedly dragged Duan Zilian into an arcade.

"Hey, go easy on me, Mirai-san..."

Ten minutes later, in front of the claw machine in the arcade.

"Another defeat..."

Duan Zilian and Wei Lai both let out a wail at the same time, their entire bodies collapsing onto the claw machine.

They've already spent 2000 yen, but haven't caught a single doll. Every time, the doll falls down just as it's about to be caught at the hole.

"Seriously, I'm never playing this claw machine again!!"

Duan Zilian and Wei Lai walked out of the arcade looking dejected.

Looking at the surging crowd in front of them, they suddenly realized that they seemed to have forgotten someone.

"Hey, by the way, where's Kaisan?"

Duan Zilian realized what was happening and looked around, but she couldn't find the figure wearing the Hawaiian shirt anywhere.

Just as the two were about to search along the street, Hong Kai calmly walked up behind them, holding three soda popsicles in his hand.

He suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" The sound exploded in their ears.

"Hey! You scared me to death! Kaisan, don't you make any noise when you walk?!"

Duan Zilian was startled and almost transformed on the spot.

After seeing Hong Kai's face clearly, he made a helpless remark, then casually took an ice pop, tore open the packaging, and licked it.

"Mmm, so refreshing, so good!"

"Kaisang, you scared me to death! Where have you been? Why are you laughing so happily?"

In the future, she nervously accepted the popsicle from Hong Kai, looking at his barely suppressed smile with some confusion.

"Hahaha!" Hong Kai burst into smug laughter upon hearing the question.

"You guys still say my outfit isn't good enough? Let me tell you, when I went to buy popsicles just now, I ran into a hot blonde girl. She said she was a cosplayer and thought my outfit had a very wandering, roguish feel to it. She even asked to take a picture with me."

"Uh..." Duan Zilian and Wei Lai exchanged a glance, speechless at Hong Kai's smug look.

[This city is truly full of good people...]

"Alright! Since we're in such a good mood, let's walk all the way to Senso-ji Temple."

Hong Kai waved his hand and said, "Let's pray for good luck for Duan Zilian so that we won't have to pay for his hospital stays in the future."

"Hey!!"

……

The three of them strolled side by side toward Senso-ji Temple.

All around were carefree smiling faces, and overhead was the bright sunshine.

"It's so lively here, completely different from Chiba," Duan Zilian remarked.

He suddenly realized that while working part-time to save the world, he also needed to experience life more.

Just as Duan Zilian was immersed in this comfort, Hong Kai, who was walking beside him, suddenly lowered his voice.

"Although it looks lively, this place... is actually not very peaceful."

"Something's not going well?!" Duan Zilian was startled by this sudden turn of events and instinctively reached for her bracelet.

"Don't be nervous, kid." Hong Kai didn't look at him, but instead focused on the crowd crossing the zebra crossing ahead.

"What did you see among that group of passersby just now?"

"What do I see? I see a group of pretty positive people, and everyone seems to be working really hard," Duan Zilian answered honestly.

"Can you sense that there are aliens among them?"

"Universe... an alien?" Duan Zilian was a little confused. He looked around at the tourists who were taking pictures, chatting and laughing.

"That's right. There were quite a few aliens mixed in with that large group of people in Akihabara just now. However, it seems that they have all adapted perfectly to human society."

"No, no, no... what do you mean?" Duan Zilian lowered her voice, somewhat frightened.

"You mean, aliens were mixed in with the crowd, disguised as us, and strolling around with us? Then why didn't you arrest them just now?"

"Why are you arresting me?" Hong Kai stopped in his tracks.

"Isn't that an alien? Its eyes glow, it can grow bigger and smaller, it has disgusting black and white markings, it wants to invade Earth, and it looks like a monkey."

"Young man, your stereotypes are too extreme. Besides, not all aliens represent aggression."

Hong Kai almost lost his composure, but he still pretended to be serious and looked up at the towering buildings.

"The spacetime of this world is so chaotic right now, there are probably many innocent aliens who have been forced into this situation."

"They don't have that much ambition; they just want to survive on this planet."

"Is...is that so?" Duan Zilian muttered, overwhelmed with shock.

"That's right. Whether they are human or aliens, everyone is a life form with different personalities. Since there are evil predators, there will naturally be peace-loving civilians."

Future also explained from the side.

As soon as the two of them started talking, Duan Zilian immediately thought of Red King, who had landed in Yokohama before.

That child wasn't inherently bad; it was merely forced into this world, yet it received its share of malice...

"But is it really okay...? What if there's a spy hiding inside?"

Excuse me! I'm sorry to bother you!

Just as Duan Zilian was deep in thought, two figures suddenly ran past him.

"Oh, okay." Duan Zilian replied somewhat casually, glancing up at the two figures in front of her.
