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

Ultimately, Chika Fujiwara reached a surprising conclusion.

She turned away forlornly, covering her face with her hands, looking as if she was about to cry.

How could this be...? Is the allure of mature women truly so irresistible?

[I'm a huge Duan Hui fan... Does this mean my pairing is going to have a bad ending today?!]

Kaguya-chan... your war with Yukinoshita is about to end...

"Splat".

Before Qianhua could even process what was happening, a chop to the forehead landed with just the right amount of force.

"Ouch...it hurts." Chika covered her forehead and turned her head away, looking aggrieved.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, I can guess about 80 or 90 percent of it from this expression."

Duan Zilian crossed her arms helplessly, "It's not what you think, it's just a normal teacher-student relationship, understand?"

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'm not so desperate as to lay a hand on my own students."

Hiratsuka Shizuya couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then reached out and patted Tanzi Rei's shoulder.

"Let's go, it'll be too late if we don't go in soon."

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved and took the lead towards the VIP passage.

"Then we'll go in first, Fujiwara-kun. Have a pleasant treasure hunt!"

Duan Zilian smiled and waved her hand, then followed Hiratsuka Shizuka's steps.

"Ah... Oh, I see..."

"Have fun, Duan! Goodbye!" Qianhua waved goodbye sweetly.

But the moment the two turned around, she secretly rejoiced.

"Thank goodness... what a scare! It seems Kaguya still has a chance!"

Chika clenched her small fist tightly and quickly took out her phone to send an email to Kaguya Shinomiya.

[Kaguya-chan! You have to do your best!! Don't let Yukinoshita-san outdo you! (? o_o)?]

…………

"Ding dong."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had just stepped into the backstage area, looked at the email on her phone screen and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Being outshone by Yukinoshita-san...? What is that?"

"What does it mean?"

But seeing that the email was sent by Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't surprised at all.

I'll try my best.

Although I don't know what she's referring to with this nonsensical message, replying to it is definitely not a problem.

It conveyed her determination without making herself appear too flamboyant—perfect.

Kaguya felt she had grasped the essence of linguistics, so she put away her phone and went into the noisy backstage area.

The core members of the family have all arrived.

In the very center of the command hall, the second brother, Sigong Yunying, was giving loud instructions to several logistics supervisors with a gloomy face.

In another corner of the hall, two announcers were repeatedly going over their lines.

They looked tense, afraid that if they made any mistakes in their explanation, Shinomiya Un'taka would throw them into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish.

Seeing that one of the two announcers was obviously missing, Kaguya sensed that something was wrong.

She waved and called over the event's overall control manager who was standing nearby.

"Excuse me, where is that gentleman? The competition is starting in less than an hour, why haven't I seen him?"

Upon hearing the young lady's question, the person in charge swallowed hard and quickly bowed to explain.

“Miss! That person sent a text message just ten minutes ago.”

"He claims that he has encountered a crossroads in his life and is now undergoing an important trial."

"..." Kaguya was stunned.

"Okay, I understand. As long as we make it in time for the start of the competition, that's fine."

Kaguya rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and waved for the person in charge to leave.

"It's just traffic and I'm late, really..."

…………

At that moment, on a national highway less than five kilometers from the Chiba Circuit.

"Beep—!! Beep beep!!!"

The blaring of car horns created a continuous cacophony, blocking the entire road leading to the racetrack.

"..."

"The guest... really can't move!"

Inside a yellow taxi, the driver, drenched in sweat, gripped the steering wheel, too afraid to look back at the passengers in the back seat.

"The traffic ahead is completely jammed! I've already risked my life to cut in front of you three times, and I've reached my limit!"

"Hmph." The passenger in the back seat snorted coldly. The shadows of the buildings on the street completely obscured his face, making him look mysterious and noble.

He pointed a finger at the sidewalk beside the street, his face serious.

"Isn't the sidewalk over there quite spacious? Drive that way."

The man's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an irresistible command.

"...Guest, guest...you must be joking!"

The driver was so frightened that his foot was trembling as he pressed the brake, and his voice was trembling with fear.

"There were so many people up there! My heart really can't take that kind of stimulation..."

"Tsk, this is incredibly boring. Fine, your mission ends here."

The man responded impatiently, then kicked open the car door.

He tossed the black briefcase at his feet aside, then jumped off the car like an emperor, landing smoothly with an elegant and graceful posture.

The man shook his neck and then strode into the bustling street.

His steps were firm and powerful, and he strode forward so fast that even the crowd couldn't help but make way for him.

…………

"Phew... Ah... I survived... I actually survived."

Only after this ruthless man left did the taxi driver collapse onto the steering wheel, panting heavily.

However, when he looked at the 1000 yen fare and 10000 yen tip left in the back seat, he began to feel secretly pleased.

………………

Chapter 260 Distracting Thoughts

"Yukino, what are you looking at so intently?"

On one side of the VIP stands, Yukino Yukinoshita rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she gazed at her younger sister.

Her eyes gleamed, as if she had seen through all the secrets of the world.

"……nothing."

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then quickly looked away from the view of the high place.

"Oh? Let me follow Yukino's gaze and see who the lucky one is..."

Yang Nai's smile deepened as she looked in the direction Yukino had been looking.

A man and a woman were chatting side by side on the VIP platform diagonally above.

The boy, dressed in casual clothes, nodded slightly, while the girl standing next to him tilted her head back, looking intently at him as she spoke.

The young woman wore a black and white haute couture dress, her figure resembling that of an elegant black swan.

"Oh my, it's Duan-kun! The lady next to him must be Miss Shinomiya from Shuchiin, right?"

"Yukino, aren't you going to say hello? You've been staring over there for ten minutes now."

"……unnecessary."

Seeing Yukino beside her looking down like a stubborn little cat, Haruno finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, which drew a disapproving look from her younger sister.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Yang Nai patted her skirt and stood up. "I think I saw Xiao Jing downstairs just now. Let's go sit with her. The view is better from there."

"Is that you, Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka?"

Yukino asked softly, recalling the words that Tanji Rei had mentioned on the phone earlier, about being "taken to watch a match by Iron Fist."

"Yeah, anyway, you can sit anywhere here. Let's go catch up with the teacher."

Yang Nai smiled and made the suggestion, but her eyes were constantly watching her sister's micro-expressions.

"Hmm..." Yukino struggled internally for a moment, but finally stood up.

"Let's go."

"That's more like it, that's how it should be done."

Hina happily took her sister's arm and walked towards the direction where Hiratsuka Shizuka was.

Before leaving, she turned back and glanced meaningfully at the boy on the platform.

[Duan, oh, he's such a troublesome guy, not cute at all, yet impossible to look away from.]

…………

On the VIP platform.

"Many of the facilities here were hastily constructed and added by the Shinomiya Foundation in the past few days. The track route has been changed from the original closed loop to a single-lap turnaround track."

"Starting from the Sodezaki Racecourse, the course winds around the mountains and forests of the Boso Peninsula, and finally returns here via the Tokyo Bridge."

Kaguya Shinomiya pointed to the track below and earnestly explained it to Rei Dan.

"The audience seating is also equipped with the highest-spec broadcast screens, and below them are electromagnetic sound controllers."

"In this way, even if the race car is running on the sea dozens of kilometers away, the audience can still feel the roar of the motorcycle engine at the same time."

"Yes, I saw that on the official website before, and the expressiveness is indeed amazing."

Duan Zilian looked down at the massive seating area that could accommodate tens of thousands of people and couldn't help but nod.

This is the VIP area, with seats arranged in a U-shape facing upwards. The start of the track is right in the middle of the U-shape, with the straightaway extending forward. To the right are the regular spectator seats.

Actually, he had just gone to the restroom. When he came back, he saw Yukino and wanted to go over and say hello, but when he saw that Yukinoshita Haruno was also there, he gave up the idea.

It is said that the woman is extremely skilled and should not be trifled with.

He originally thought that Kaguya, as the person in charge, should be busy backstage, but when he turned around, he found her standing by the railing not far away, so he came over and chatted for a bit.

Duan Zilian withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Shinomiya Kaguya, asking in confusion:

"By the way, shouldn't Shinomiya-kun be busy backstage right now? How come she has time to come here and enjoy the breeze?"

"Ah, because the participating drivers are all on the track doing their final tire warm-up, the process is basically locked, so there is a little free time now."

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke elegantly with her hands clasped in front of her, her face radiating confidence and composure, as if even the strands of hair on her face exuded unparalleled nobility.

Although she appears calm and collected on the surface, a chibi version of Kaguya is screaming wildly inside her heart:

【What's going on?! I spent so much time preparing today, and I even wore light makeup! Why didn't you notice at all?! Praise me!!】

Meanwhile, on the other side, Duan Zilian was also having a crazy brainstorming session.

[What's going on? Did Shinomiya wear makeup today? She looks absolutely radiant! Should I compliment her?]
