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

[It seems to be progressing smoothly... It's quite rare to see the young lady with such an expression.]

Kaguya Shinomiya's shy expression vanished instantly upon seeing Hayasaka.

She shuffled over to Hayasaka Ai in her little leather shoes with an extremely flippant air, gave a haughty snort, and deliberately avoided looking at Danzi Lian.

"Ah... haha."

Duan Zilian scratched her head awkwardly and handed the shopping bag in her hand to the maid next to her.

He glanced at the building beside him, which resembled a medieval castle, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again.

"Is this the foundation of Japan's top conglomerates... It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others."

"Duan, you've worked so hard today."

Hayasaka Ai stepped forward with a smile and said very elegantly:

"Would you like to come in and have a seat? A sumptuous dinner has been prepared at home."

"Ah, no need, no need. Shinomiya and I have already eaten out together."

Duan Zilian quickly waved his hand; he didn't want to suffer in such a strictly regulated place.

"Oh? We've already eaten together?"

Hayasaka Ai smiled knowingly and turned her gaze to her young mistress.

Kaguya's face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato.

"Hey? What's with that expression?!"

She grabbed Hayasaka Ai by the back and pushed her desperately toward the door.

"Come on, Hayasaka! Shut up! I haven't settled the score with you for what happened this morning!"

Halfway through pushing, Kaguya suddenly stopped, turned around, and waved to the boy in the sunset.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Duan."

After saying that, she darted into the gate like a startled little rabbit.

Unfortunately, the distance from the gate to the main house is too long, and it takes at least half a minute to run.

Duan Zilian stood outside the door and clearly watched her somewhat flustered escape.

"Haha, she's really cute."

Duan Zilian put one hand on her hip and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Only after the figure completely disappeared from sight did he turn around, facing the darkening sky, and leave the tree-lined avenue of the wealthy district alone.

……

In Kaguya Shinomiya's bedroom at the Shinomiya residence.

"thump!"

As soon as she returned to that ridiculously spacious bedroom, Kaguya Shinomiya jumped up and pounced on the soft bed, burying her face in the pillows and remaining motionless.

"Young Miss! Young Miss!"

Hayasaka Ai came over excitedly, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

She rested her chin on her hand and lay by the bedside, her eyes filled with stars.

"Tell me quickly! What did you two do together today? Did you hold hands? Did you go anywhere romantic? Did anything happen that made your heart race?!"

"Ah...it's nothing, it's just..."

Kaguya looked up and began to stammer as she recounted the events of the day.

However, as the story unfolded, the stars in Hayasaka Ai's eyes dimmed, and the smile on her lips became increasingly stiff.

By the very end, Hayasaka Ai's expression had completely turned into that of a black, dead fish.

Hayasaka Ai remained silent.

"Eh..." Kaguya looked at Hayasaka's face, which was as cold as the polar winter, and was momentarily at a loss.

"Hayasaka...? What's wrong?"

"..." Hayasaka Ai covered her face in pain and let out a long, desperate sigh.

"Young Miss~"

……

On the other side, Duan Zilian was on her way back.

Strangely, he didn't choose the wide and bright main roads, but instead seemed to deliberately wander into those intricate and secluded alleys.

Finally, he walked into a dark dead end and slowly stopped.

"Humph……"

Duan Zilian felt the faint fluctuations behind her and smiled contemptuously.

[As expected, my intuition was right. Ever since this morning at Meiji Shrine, this strange thing has been secretly following me.]

As the aura drew closer, they could even hear some sticky footsteps.

"What kind of skill is it to hide and dodge..." Duan Zilian's eyes flashed sharply.

"Let me see what you really are!"

Having calculated the distance at which his opponent was approaching, Duan Zilian suddenly turned around! Golden light instantly gathered in her right hand, and she threw a punch directly behind her!

At this critical moment—

"Huh?! Hey hey hey hey!! Help me!!!"

Extremely frightened yet familiar screams from a teenager echoed through the alley.

The next moment, Duan Zilian saw the red figure in front of her clearly, and her golden fist came to an abrupt halt just one centimeter away from the other's forehead.

"Huh?!?!"

Duan Zilian was stunned, staring in shock at the stalker who had fallen to the ground.

Before them, the Metron alien with the large red head was terrified out of its wits.

Its two yellow eyes stared at Duan Zilian in terror, its hands covering its head as it trembled.

"How could it be you?!"

Duan Zilian shouted in disbelief.

"Ah...uh...that..."

The Metaron alien lowered his hands from his head, scratched his head awkwardly, and said somewhat guiltily.

"...Eh?"

Chapter 123 Miyamoto Kami

"Hey, you're kidding me!"

Duan Zilian was instantly enraged. She stepped forward, grabbed the Metron alien who was curled up on the ground, and then launched into a tirade of abuse.

"What are you doing wandering around again, you brat? Instead of staying in the bar, you're running off to some back alley in Shinjuku. Aren't you afraid of getting caught and dissected by those space hunters?! Aren't you afraid someone will see you and call the police?"

Duan Zilian mercilessly ruffled Metron's bright red head, causing the little guy to let out a series of pitiful cries of "Ouch, ouch!"

"No! Ouch, ouch, ouch... I can turn invisible, ordinary Earthlings can't see me at all!"

The Metaron alien covered his face, his two large yellow eyes blinking.

He argued somewhat aggrievedly, "Besides someone like you with Ultraman vision, who could possibly spot me?"

"Okay, let's put this aside for now."

Duan Zilian let go of her hand and put her hands on her hips in an annoyed manner.

"I'm asking you, why did you come here and follow me all day?"

The thought that she had been walking around all day with a pair of big eyes watching her from the shadows made Duan Zilian feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Huh? It wasn't a whole day. I went to Shibuya this afternoon, and I just caught up with you..."

The Metaron alien nervously checked his fingers.

"Hmm?" Duan Zilian narrowed her eyes, signaling it to continue making things up.

“Oh dear… this morning, I saw Mr. Hong Kai and Mr. Future hand you a thick wad of cash.”

"Then Kaisan gave me that 'I'm rooting for you' kind of sly smile... I was so curious that I sneaked out to see what you were up to."

The Metron alien became increasingly righteous as he spoke, even puffing out his chest and indignantly uttering a righteous question.

"And then I found out that you were actually using the hard-earned money that your seniors had saved up to go shopping with a pretty girl! You even took her home!"

"Duan Jun, how can you do this to those two seniors?! You're such a scumbag!"

"Uh...you..."

Duan Zilian was speechless for a moment after being confronted with this accusation from a moral high ground.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but felt as if a thousand poisoned arrows had pierced his chest.

Looking into the little thing's righteous eyes, he finally swallowed back a mouthful of blood.

"Seriously...you brat, stop making things up out of everything you see, okay?"

Duan Zilian scratched her hair in frustration.

"And what's wrong with Manager Nacker and the others? They didn't even bother to discipline you, a little kid like you."

"Quick! Come with me, we're going back."

Duan Zilian put her hands back in her pockets, walked past the Metaron alien, and prepared to walk out of the alley.

However, as soon as he looked up, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Just now, because the massive red body of the Metaron alien blocked his view, he couldn't see the scenery in front of him at all.

Now, as he looked away, he was shocked to discover that a figure had silently appeared at the entrance to the end of the alley.

The man had slicked-back hair and wore a brown shirt with a black vest over it.

What's truly chilling is that his hands have two thick, dinosaur-like claws!

He stood there against the dim light at the alley entrance, his face fierce, staring intently at the two people inside.

"Um……?"

Duan Zilian instantly became alert, her expression tightening.

The Metaron alien behind him slowly turned his head.

But the moment it saw the man clearly, its mouth, which had been muttering, froze instantly.

In an instant, the Metaron alien, whose mood had been calmed by the righteous enforcement of the law, was terrified and his whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

"Wood...Wooden Starman!!!"

The Metaron alien let out a scream, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"A Muzhen alien?!"

Upon hearing this name, Duan Zilian was startled, as if she had heard some key word.

He quickly shielded the Metron alien behind him, his eyes fixed on the other with piercing gazes.

"This guy, is he the Space Hunter you guys were talking about?"

Metron hid behind him, nodding and trembling uncontrollably.

"Ultraman Tiga, we've finally met."

The man standing at the alley entrance slowly spoke, his words overlapping two voices.

One voice was hoarse, the other ethereal and elusive.

"I put in a lot of effort to spot you in this crowded place."

"Stop trying to get close to your dad." Duan Zilian retorted without any politeness, her eyes full of disgust.
