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

"What?! Duan Sang, whose child is that in your hands? Could it be that you..."

Seeing that Duan Zilian's face was filled with the words "disaster is imminent," Wei Lai was so frightened that she almost dropped the plate in her hand.

"It wasn't kidnapping!!"

……

Ten minutes later, the coffee shop put the CLOSED sign back up.

With a solemn expression, Mirai handed a cup of warm milk to little Kaguya, who was sitting on a high stool. Little Kaguya was wrapped tightly in a thick blanket by Mirai.

"So... your academy's student council vice president, Kaguya Shinomiya, was attacked in an alley by three aliens with black and white stripes and red, yellow, and blue eyes, and then she was hit by a beam of light and turned into this?"

In the future, she turns to look at Kaguya, who is nodding incessantly, with a look of sympathy.

"Yes! It sounds outrageous, but it's true!" Duan Zilian slumped in her chair, feeling like half her soul had flown away.

"Black and white stripes, shrinking body, eye color... If it only shrinks but doesn't disappear, then it must be the miniaturization rays of the Dada aliens."

Future pondered, resting his chin on his hand, "I've heard Ultraman mention before that the Dada aliens have a habit of absorbing living beings, but their miniaturization rays should shrink objects as a whole, but this kind of childlike manifestation... is indeed very rare."

"Dada aliens?" Duan Zilian frowned, looking puzzled.

Kaguya Shinomiya listened quietly to this scene, her big eyes full of question marks.

“They are strange aliens who like to collect human specimens for experiments, and they are very troublesome,” Future explained. “However, I don’t know much about them. Kaisan used to travel to different planets, so he should know more about these troublesome creatures.”

"Right, where's Kaisan? Where did he go so early in the morning?" Duan Zilian looked around but didn't see the figure drinking marble soda.

"Ah, Kaisan saw the news this morning and thought that the recent disappearances were the work of aliens, so he went out on patrol with a righteous and cool look on his face."

"Tsk, Kaisan is quite responsible at crucial moments. He's finally showing some of the qualities of a senior."

Duan Zilian finally felt a little relieved.

He glanced at Kaguya's tired face and said to the future:

“Mirai-san, I’ll take Kaguya upstairs to the attic to rest for a while. She seems to be under a lot of stress right now, probably from being too frightened. I need to go out and buy her some decent children’s clothes later; she can’t stay wrapped in a blanket forever.”

Duan Zilian scratched her head, looking apologetic.

“Go ahead, leave this to me.” Future smiled gently.

Just a second after Duan Zilian carried Kaguya upstairs, the coffee shop door was kicked open again.

"boom!!!"

Just as I was about to go back and pack up, I was startled again.

"Future! Look at me dressed like this!! Aren't I handsome?! Hahahaha!"

With a burst of extremely arrogant laughter, a man wearing a brand-new leather jacket and a brand-new cowboy hat appeared at the door.

The next moment, he glided backwards into the coffee shop, mimicking Michael Jackson's moonwalk.

Hong Kai made a stylish turn in the center of the store, his hat spinning precisely on his fingertips and then back on. His brand-new leather jacket gleamed in the sunlight, and his expression of "I'm the most handsome guy in the whole place" was simply overflowing.

"Future! How about that? I've finally found the same leather jacket in this world! The texture, the stitching, it's practically tailor-made for a wanderer!"

Yes, because Hong Kai's original clothes were shattered by lightning during the first battle and his hat was blown off, he could only wear the white shirt or black vest from the future for a long time, which made him depressed.

Future stared in disbelief, his lips twitching: "Kaisan...didn't you go to find the aliens?"

"This city is too big. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I thought since there were no monsters to fight, I might as well go to the second-hand market and boutiques. I didn't expect to be so lucky and actually found this outfit."

Hong Kai was in a great mood, touching the collar of his leather jacket with obvious delight: "How is it? Don't you feel like the wanderer you used to be?"

"Ah, he is quite handsome, but, Kaisan... where did you get the money? I remember our wallets were barely enough to buy marbles."

"Hahahaha! In the future, this will be your moment of realization as a senior!"

Hong Kai put one hand on his hip, laughing and showing off, "Let me tell you, this is the power of bonds! This morning I found a moldy envelope under Duan Zilian's bed and found his secret stash of money that he had hidden so carefully." After saying that, he touched his heart with great emotion.

"This is the most sincere gift a junior can give to a senior! There are still 20,000 yen left in it, and this outfit cost exactly 18,000 yen. I'm planning to use the rest to buy a case of discounted ramune soda! In return, I plan to bestow upon him Orb's strongest fighting techniques."

Future's expression instantly shifted from surprise to terror. He frantically winked at Hong Kai, his voice trembling, "Kai-san... Kai-san, stop talking! It's too loud!!"

"What's there to be afraid of? That kid's not back yet anyway." Hong Kai waved his hand confidently. "Are you going to betray him? We're on the same side..."

"No...no..." Mirai was almost crying, winking at Kai, but the proud rogue didn't notice at all.

“Kay…san…”

A sound, as if crawling out from the depths of hell, came from the stairwell.

Hong Kai's smile froze instantly, and he shuddered violently as he stiffly turned away.

Duan Zilian was standing in the middle of the stairs, holding a little Kaguya who was watching the show with wide eyes.

Half of his face was hidden in shadow, and the murderous aura he exuded was almost tangible.

"...A gift?" Duan Zilian sneered as she uttered those two words, as if the background behind her was ablaze with black flames.

Hong Kai forced a bitter smile that looked like a cry, and the hat in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Chapter 54 absolutely does not mean I'm thanking you.

"Ah, Mr. Duan, how should I put it? This attitude towards a senior who has made great contributions is still a bit too rude."

Just moments ago, Hong Kai was full of life, but now he appeared on the coffee shop floor in a standard "dogeza" (a traditional Chinese kowtow) posture, pulling his hat brim down and trying to cover his embarrassed face with his cowboy hat.

Beside her, Kaguya, wrapped in a thick wool blanket, sat in a chair with a look of amusement on her face.

"Politeness is based on mutual respect, you damn senior!"

Duan Zilian gritted her teeth, her voice filled with disappointment: "I was just thinking that you were finally setting a good example as a senior, but you actually went to the secondhand market to steal from my house?!"

“This is to integrate into the local culture,” Hong Kai muttered to himself.

"Alright, Duan-kun, Kai-san knows he was wrong." Hibino Mirai suppressed a laugh and tried to excuse Kai, "Let's get down to business."

Duan Zilian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to take Hong Kai to make coffee.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll settle the money issue with you later, Kaisan, let's get down to business first."

He looked at Hong Kai, then pointed to the little girl sitting to the side, and quickly recounted what had just happened.

"Ah... Dada aliens, no wonder so many people have gone missing."

Hong Kai stood up, stroking his chin. He held up one finger and said, "These miniaturization rays are usually reversible. Making things bigger or smaller is common, but I've rarely seen cases where they directly alter the age of a living organism. You just said that you hit it with a wooden board the moment it was launched?"

"Yes, it hit its arm right off, and the light was a little off."

"That's probably the reason. The radiation didn't completely cover the whole body, causing the shrinking process to be incomplete, resulting in this juvenile form."

Hong Kai thought for a moment and continued, "Since that's the case, the principle is very simple. As long as we get our hands on that gun, adjust the parameters, and fire it again, it should be able to turn back."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and go find them!" Duan Zilian said anxiously.

"No, the Dada aliens are very cunning."

Hong Kai shook his head: "If they don't come looking for you, it's very difficult to find them in the vast sea of ​​people. Those guys are masters at concealing their presence."

"So, does that mean we can only sit here and wait for them to come back and launch a surprise attack?"

"There were three... three adult men sitting in that coffee shop. If it were me, I would never come here to die."

Hong Kai almost blurted out the words "Ultraman," but quickly straightened up and calmly looked out the window.

"Compared to that, Duan Zilian is more pitiful."

Kaguya, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her red eyes filled with shame and indignation.

"How long do you intend for me to stay wrapped in this blanket? There's no custom in the Shinomiya family of being wrapped up like a dumpling when receiving guests."

"Oh, right, sorry! I almost forgot!"

Duan Zilian slapped her forehead, then glared fiercely at Hong Kai: "Kai-san, since you did such a despicable thing, then please go and buy some clothes for the child as interest."

"No, I don't want this weird old man to buy it. You come with me, I want to choose it myself."

Kaguya pointed at Tanya as if issuing a royal decree.

"Ah, I'm being disliked by my juniors..." Kai said sadly.

"Huh? Me? But I only have 5,000 yen left in my pocket..." Duan Zilian patted her pockets, looking helpless.

"I still have two thousand here," Hong Kai said weakly, raising his hand. "Um... there seems to be a few thousand in reserve funds at the cash register." Wei Lai also scratched his head and said.

"Need not."

Kaguya puffed out her chest like a proud little swan, jumped precisely off the chair, ran to her loose-fitting dress, and took out a delicate black wallet from her pocket.

"Here you go." She slapped the wallet into Duan Zilian's hand.

When Duan Zilian opened it, the neat stack of ten-thousand-yuan bills almost made him kneel down to his sugar daddy on the spot.

He then realized, "That's right! Even if the person in front of me has shrunk in size, she is still 'Princess Kaguya' standing at the top of Japan's zaibatsu!"

……

Chiba City, a large shopping center.

"This one, and that one too, and the ones on that shelf as well."

Even after shrinking, Kaguya still exudes a powerful aura while wearing Rei's oversized shirt.

Her little hand gestured at the children's clothing counter, and every time she pointed to a certain spot, Duan Zilian had to rush to retrieve the item.

In less than half an hour, Duan Zilian's arms were already full of packaging bags from various high-end brands.

"I'm telling you, Vice President Shinomiya... do we really need to buy so much? It's not like we'll all be kids from now on," Duan Zilian complained.

“If you’re going to wear something, you should choose the most suitable one. That’s the aesthetic of the Shinomiya family.”

A moment later, the two arrived at the fitting room mirror in the children's clothing section. The sales assistant, seeing this, her eyes gleaming with maternal love, couldn't help but lean in and exclaim in admiration:

"Wow! Handsome guy, is this your younger sister? She's the cutest child I've ever seen! Those ruby ​​eyes are like an elf's!"

“Their eyes are different, how could that be…” Kaguya was about to retort coldly.

"Ah, right, right! That's right!" Duan Zilian grabbed Xiao Huiye's head and laughed loudly at the sales assistant, "Yes, yes! She's my own little sister! Isn't she super cute? But don't let her cute appearance fool you, her personality is extremely wicked!"

"Duan, Zi, Lian..." Xiao Huiye's forehead veins bulged, and from an angle where the sales assistant couldn't see, she delivered a precise chop to Duan Zi Lian's waist.

"Ouch!" Duan Zilian was instantly defeated, bending over like a boiled shrimp.

……

Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the shop.

At this moment, Kaguya had been transformed. She had changed into a pure white lace dress, wore an exquisite sun hat, carried a small leather bag, and wore shiny leather shoes. She walked like an elegant little princess.

Duan Zilian behind her became a human clothes rack covered with packaging boxes.

"Duan Zilian".

Kaguya stopped, turned around, and looked at Duan Zilian: "Do you have any clothes you want?"

"Me?" Duan Zilian wiped her sweat with one hand and said with a forced smile, "I'll pass. I'm only responsible for getting things for the vice president. It's my duty as an adult."

Kaguya's chubby cheeks visibly puffed up, a sign of her displeasure.

"Don't call me vice president outside, it's too conspicuous. Also... I'll feel bad if you don't choose me," she said awkwardly.

"Then what should we call her? Kaguya-chan?"

"Tsk..."

Kaguya was about to utter a harsh word.

"I'm sorry, Shinomiya-kun!" Duanzi Lian begged for forgiveness very quickly.

Suddenly, a highly recognizable, energetic voice rang out from behind.

"Ah! Isn't this Duan?!"

Duan Zilian turned around abruptly and saw Fujiwara Chika hopping and skipping over like a happy white rabbit, the bow on her forehead bouncing.

"Ah, Secretary Fujiwara! What a coincidence, to run into you here."

Duan Zilian smiled.

The next second—

Oh no! His eyes widened suddenly as he realized that Kaguya Shinomiya was still beside him!
