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

Wait a minute, isn't it normal to wear makeup for an occasion like this? I heard Hayasaka say before that she doesn't usually wear makeup, and during our conversation, Kaguya Shinomiya never mentioned that she was wearing makeup today.

If I were to point this out in such an impressive tone now, would it make me seem tactless and frivolous?

With the idea that "the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and stability comes first," Duan Zilian decisively suppressed the urge to praise.

"Oh, I see."

Duan Zilian cleared her throat and naturally changed the subject.

"I heard that a mysterious heavyweight guest will be invited to be the commentator for this match, but it hasn't been revealed on the official website."

"You must know the details, right? Can you give me a sneak peek?"

Seeing Duan Zilian's eager expression, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a sense of frustration.

"Actually, we originally wanted to use his name for pre-event promotion, but he refused, saying that he wanted to maintain the mystery of the event."

Kaguya Shinomiya recalled what the person in charge had relayed to her, and her expression instantly became helpless and complicated.

Like a young girl's skirt fluttering in a gentle breeze, that subtle, elusive mystery is the ultimate beauty.

If you reveal all your cards, you're just a meaningless piece of rag.

Kaguya Shinomiya quickly shook her head, banishing the arrogant, flamboyant chibi-style blond bespectacled man from her mind.

"I see... so they want to keep things mysterious. Fine, I'll see who this person is later."

Duan Zilian was amused by this person and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation towards that person.

Seeing that Duanzi Rei was clearly intrigued, Kaguya Shinomiya felt even more frustrated.

What's wrong with you... Stop thinking about that... that person, look at me...

Just then, a low rumble gradually came from afar.

Duan Zilian looked back and saw dozens of racers speeding towards her from the other end of the track.

Leading the pack was a black Honda CB1300.

Why can't I get the engine going? Ugh! She's outpaced me again. I have to get my revenge in the main competition!

The Mexican rider behind him was inwardly fuming.

[My poor performance was definitely due to not getting to try that shop's coffee; I must go on a revenge shopping spree after the match!]

The Spanish rider next to him wholeheartedly agreed.

Marina, who was at the forefront, had a hint of disappointment in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

[As expected... I still didn't see Hayasaka. Have I given up...?]

"Oh, it seems the drivers who were warming up are back."

Duan Zilian casually remarked, and Shinomiya Kaguya sensed that the conversation was almost over.

"Yes, then... I should go backstage to make the final scheduling preparations."

Kaguya Shinomiya gave a wry smile, her lips twitching stiffly.

"Alright, I should get ready to go back now, otherwise Hiratsuka-sensei will beat me up again."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded and turned to leave.

But she still wouldn't give up.

Kaguya Shinomiya blushed slightly and turned back awkwardly.

“Um… Mr. Duan.”

"I'll be in that glass box when the game starts. You just need to look up... you'll see me anytime."

Kaguya Shinomiya pointed a finger at the box in the very center of the stands, her voice low.

"Okay, I will."

Duan Zilian looked at her cautious appearance and felt as if something had scratched her heart.

"Um... I'm leaving now."

Kaguya Shinomiya managed to maintain her last vestige of elegance, managed a smile, and then turned and left.

[A major failure... As expected, someone with my personality just doesn't have much charm...]

Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya's lonely figure and fake smile, Duan Zilian's heart sank slightly.

He certainly sensed the girl's disappointment, but before he could even think about it.

"Shinomiya-kun," Duan Zilian suddenly called out.

Kaguya stopped and turned around, somewhat puzzled.

"that……"

Duan Zilian racked her brains, trying to figure out the best tone to use.

"Your clothes are beautiful today, they suit you very well."

Duan Zilian finally spoke her mind.

He felt that he had said something very well. Directly praising makeup seemed frivolous, but praising clothes was definitely safe and appropriate.

Duan Zilian felt that she had grasped the true essence of linguistics.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya's previously gloomy mood instantly brightened as if she were welcoming spring with cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Looking at the boy in front of her, she felt full of boundless energy, and even the air she breathed tasted sweet.

"Yes! Thank you!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyebrows curved into beautiful crescent moons. "Dan-kun looks handsome today too!"

Leaving behind this cheerful counterattack, Kaguya Shinomiya, like a graceful black swan, lifted her skirt and happily trotted into the inner passage.

[I was right! Spending two hours choosing this outfit today was definitely worth it!]

Duan Zilian was momentarily stunned by the girl's genuine and beautiful appearance.

"Ah... okay, thank you."

Duan Zilian quickly gave a hasty reply.

Before he could say anything more, he only saw a glimpse of a black skirt disappearing around the corner.

"........."

"Phew... that should solve the problem."

Duan Zilian breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl's bright smile from just now kept replaying in her mind.

It was at this moment that a strange emotion began to linger in his heart.

"What am I thinking?" Duan Zilian shook her head and turned to go back to find Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Just then, he suddenly felt countless murderous gazes sweeping across his face like laser beams.

"Ok?"

Duan Zilian looked around and saw a group of young men dressed in designer brands staring at him with eyes full of insane jealousy from the VIP seats nearby.

The other socialites looked at him with disdain.

[Damn it! How could he make Lady Shinomiya smile like that! I wish I had half his luck!]

The young masters gritted their teeth inwardly.

[This guy is so awful! Shinomiya-sama's face was practically screaming for your compliments after she finished her makeup, and all you could manage was a comment about how pretty her clothes were?!]

The socialites were internally ranting and raving.

"What are you looking at... The game is about to start, hurry up and watch the game!"

Duan Zilian blushed and, under the gazes of those around her, quickly slunk away towards Hiratsuka Shizuka's direction.

……

At the very top of this VIP area, in the corner with the best view, Mikado Yasuhira and Morikawa Arashi were sitting quietly.

"Uncle Anping, look! Isn't that the older brother you were chatting with earlier?"

Toyokawa Arashi chuckled and tugged at Anpei's arm.

"Those two seem to have a very good relationship, just like I'm close to Uncle Anping!"

Yumen Anping also found it a little funny to see Duan Zilian fleeing in such a hurry.

"Heh...it seems even someone like you has problems they can't solve."

(I just ran into a mysterious person on the street. He said there would be a mystery reward for updating 4 chapters tomorrow.)

Chapter 261 Yukino Yukinoshita's Demon King Protection

Below the stands, forty-nine motorcycles have slowly entered the maintenance area.

Duan Zilian put her hands in her pockets and walked back up the stairs to her VIP area.

"Surprisingly, quite a few acquaintances came today."

He muttered to himself as he walked.

Along the way, besides Fujiwara Chika and Ishigami Yu, he also caught a glimpse of Miura Yumiko and her group.

"What row was my seat in? Oh well, I'll just look for Hiratsuka-sensei..."

"Location... oh, over there."

Duan Zilian locked onto her target and was about to take a step when her toes froze in mid-air.

"……wrong!!!"

At the far end of the line of sight, Hiratsuka Shizuka was indeed still sitting there, with her legs crossed.

But suddenly, two important figures appeared beside her.

Yukino Yukinoshita, and... Haruno Yukinoshita.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno was chatting intimately with Hiratsuka Shizuka around the neck, while Yukinoshita Yukino stared straight at him from the side.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Yukino quickly looked away, but then, as if she remembered something, she stared back at him again in a huff.

"Uh……"

Duan Zilian swallowed hard and forced herself to step forward.

"Oh, it's Duan! You've come at the perfect time."

Noticing that gaze, Yukinoshita Haruno naturally turned her head and looked at Tanzi Rei with a smile:

"Yukino was just talking to me about you. Now that you're back, sit down next to Yukino."

"I didn't... um!"

Yukino was about to retort when Haruno reached out and covered her mouth.

Duan Zilian nodded nervously, looking at the only empty seat next to Yukino.

Perhaps it was because Yukino's cold demeanor was too off-putting, or perhaps it was because she was intimidated by the oppressive aura of a certain sister-complex's ambiguous smile.

There was only one empty seat left in this row of VIP seats.

It's like a trap that a hunter has carefully set up specifically for a particular prey.

Duan Zilian forced herself to sit down next to Yukino Yukinoshita, as if she had pieced herself into the final puzzle of the dynasty's downfall.

"Yukinoshita-san, what's wrong with you all...?"

“My sister insisted on coming. She said the view here was great and she wanted to catch up with Professor Hiratsuka, so I came along.”

Yukino stared at the track below, her tone indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"There are two of us! We're both students that Xiaojing is very proud of."

Yukinoshita cheerfully interjected, then changed the subject, her tone becoming slightly teasing.

"However, Duan is taking quite a while to get back. Is it because he can't bear to spend time alone with that young lady from the Shinomiya family?"
