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

Just as the atmosphere in the office was about to explode—

"Boom!"

The door to the student council room was pushed open from the outside with brute force.

"Who?!"

Murata was startled and turned around to look.

Sunlight streamed in from the corridor, outlining a petite yet absolutely commanding figure.

"Vice President Shinomiya!"

Upon seeing this, the group instantly lowered their heads respectfully, like mice seeing a cat.

“I heard all those interesting remarks about commoners and status very clearly from outside the door.”

Kaguya Shinomiya gracefully stepped into the room.

She stopped in front of the group, looking at Murata and the others with an air of absolute superiority.

"This final plan for the joint evacuation of the two schools was finalized by President Shirogane and Yukinoshita under my personal supervision."

"Murata-kun, do you mean... I've also been assimilated by the 'commoners'? Or are you questioning the Shinomiya family's judgment?"

Chapter 79 I'm at least a part-time giant!

"Gudu..."

Murata swallowed hard, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Kaguya Shinomiya's icy gaze instantly shattered the facade of bravado among these aristocratic scions.

In this academy, Kaguya Shinomiya is the one who truly stands at the top.

"No...no problem! Vice President Shinomiya, you misunderstood. We just...we just came to express everyone's concerns."

Murata hurriedly explained, slowly backing away.

"Since it's a plan that you personally reviewed, it must be the most perfect one! We've disturbed you, we'll take our leave!"

Amidst a flurry of farewells, the group scurried out the door as if their lives depended on it.

The coldness in the conference room only gradually dissipated as the heavy doors closed.

Shirogane Miyuki slumped back in his chair, a look of utter frustration in his eyes.

"Shinomiya-kun... thank you."

He touched his forehead, covering his bloodshot eyes.

"Thank goodness you came to my rescue this time, otherwise those guys would have really started causing trouble in the student council room."

Kaguya walked gracefully to the window and looked at the main building of Soubu High School across the street.

"Weren't those people the ones who started the conflict between the two schools back in the first year of high school by putting up barriers without permission?"

"Yes, it's them."

Shirogane Miyuki let out a long sigh of resignation, his expression bitter.

"Although these people are only a small number, as long as they stir up trouble in the middle, it will be difficult for both sides to truly calm down."

"Shinomiya-kun, how's it going on your end? What do people at the academy think?"

"Most of the students at Shuchiin High School are not actually in a state of 'hatred', and more than half of them have never actually had any contact with the people from Soubu High School."

"They are only blindly trying to hold onto their privileges because they fear future disasters."

Kaguya's fingers lightly traced the cold glass windowpane as she whispered:

"In the end, they didn't have any deep-seated hatred. It was just a matter of self-righteous pride and a preconceived prejudice that they thought the people on the other side were just troublemakers."

"so……"

Shirogane Miyuki's eyes lit up.

"There's still hope, right? I thought..."

"I thought the two sides had a deep-seated, irreconcilable feud."

Duan Zilian sat on a bench on the rooftop, holding a can of coffee, speechlessly looking at Hachiman Hikigaya and Sakuta Azusagawa sitting in a row in front of her.

Not long ago, he watched Yukino Yukinoshita, who had returned to the classroom without saying a word, and felt that he couldn't just watch the captain fight alone.

But as a transfer student who had only been there a short time, he knew very little about the past conflicts between the two schools.

So, during the break between classes, Duan Zilian dragged her two lazy but exceptionally reliable best friends up with her.

"Yes."

Sakuta Azusagawa leaned against the railing, staring at the heatwave on the ground in the distance.

"The two groups didn't have much interaction to begin with. After the first-year sports festival, people in their small circles added fuel to the fire and spread the word. Over time, even ordinary students who didn't know the truth got infected."

"This kind of thing is actually very similar to Ultraman Tiga now."

Sakuta's casual metaphor sent a shiver down Duan Zilian's spine.

"How did this involve Ultraman Tiga?"

He feigned composure and asked in a low voice.

"Because this is the 'air' of blind obedience among the masses."

Sakuta Azusagawa sighed, as if he had grasped some profound truth about the world.

"The reason he is now a revered hero is simply because people were betrayed by that previous 'angel' and fell from heaven into hell."

"In their panic, they desperately needed a new guardian deity, and just at that moment, Tiga annihilated the Kirieloids."

"Therefore, I never believed that all of humanity truly believed in Tiga. It was just a collective emotional backlash under the pressure of the environment. The trust between people and giants is actually very fragile."

"Even if a minority believe it, that doesn't mean the majority is right. After all, only the majority is right."

With a nonchalant air, Azusagawa laid bare the relationship between people and giants, explaining it all clearly.

Beside him, Duan Zilian also swallowed hard, and had to admit that what Zichuan said made a lot of sense.

"If any negative events occur regarding Tiga in the future, or if anything slightly harms their vital interests, those who are shouting 'Long live Tiga' today will immediately turn against them, and may even launch a more intense and vicious attack than last time."

Hachiman Hikigaya picked up the conversation from the side, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Whether it's the relationship between the two schools or people's perception of the giants, it's all just following the wind."

"This relationship is ridiculously simple. As soon as the atmosphere changes, everyone can shake hands and make peace instantly. But it's also ridiculously simple because no one wants to be the first to pop the bubble."

Hachiman Hikigaya slumped in his chair, indifferent, his dark eyes filled with melancholy.

The two of them each said a line, and Duan Zilian felt a tightness in her chest.

"Ah...that makes sense, but this kind of reality is really unpleasant."

He took a big gulp of coffee.

Indeed, the public doesn't completely trust Tiga; they just have no other choice but to rely on him for now.

Similarly, without a strong external catalyst to burst the bubble, the two groups of high school students will definitely continue to be hostile during Monday's escape drill.

"So... how exactly can this situation be completely resolved?"

"If that's the case, we need to find someone with high prestige on both sides and a very close relationship to run between them."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman pondered for a moment, then a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Isn't that you, Duan Zilian? I saw you chatting away with those students from the Xiuzhiyuan Student Council in the hospital room, practically getting along really well."

"Yes, the lovely transfer student has the responsibility of connecting the friendship between the two schools."

Sakuta Azusagawa also teased him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Stop messing with me, you guys. I'm being serious. I need someone with real prestige."

Duan Zilian's face was full of black lines.

A moment of silence.

Azusagawa and Hikigaya exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously, the same figure popped into their minds.

"If I had to be honest... there really is one person who can speak for both sides and keep the situation under control."

They both looked at Duan Zilian.

"Who? Speak up!"

Duan Zilian looked excited and quickly pressed for more information.

……

"Muta! I don't have time to deal with your childish kids' boring pretend play."

In the empty instructor's room, Di Ye Jin, with his eyes closed and legs crossed, unceremoniously rejected Duan Zi Lian's suggestion.

"Huh? Why?!"

Duan Zilian, who was standing in front of the table, collapsed like a deflated balloon.

Just an hour earlier, during the rooftop meeting, he was shocked to hear the name "Susumu Teino" from the mouths of Hikigaya and the other man.

Although this teacher is a true case of severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), as a full-time teacher jointly hired by two schools, he has extremely high teaching skills.

Most importantly, whether it was the unruly young masters of the wealthy families in Shuchiin or the mischievous troublemakers of Soubu High School, they all unanimously maintained awe and respect for his crazy yet powerful aura.

These words made Duan Zilian feel as if she had grasped a lifeline. Taking advantage of the lunch break, she mentally prepared herself and came to ask for advice.

But now, hope has been dashed.

"Teacher, Monday's drill is very important. If you could hold a motivational speech in the middle of it..."

"No horse, no horse, no horse!"

Di Yejin didn't even bother to open his eyes, his tone as arrogant as an emperor.

"My words, my history, my fanaticism are only shown to those who truly possess wisdom and enlightenment."

"As for those idiots whose brains are filled with class consciousness and who can't even distinguish right from wrong? Saying more is just a waste of my breath!"

"Instead of forcing it, let them rot away forever, trapped in the prejudices of time!"

Duan Zilian felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Di Yejin's increasingly powerful imperial aura.

"Ah... okay, thank you for your philosophical teachings, Professor Diye! You should continue to rest, I'll be going now!"

Seeing that this man was about to start another round of preaching, Duan Zilian quickly fled the instructor's room.

When Duan Zilian left the teachers' room, Teacher Diye slowly opened his eyes and looked at the tightly closed door in front of him.

"Honestly, he's just a kid..."

He sneered, then closed his eyes, adjusted the chair to a comfortable position, and slowly fell asleep.

Duan Zilian walked in the sunlight in the corridor, and when she looked up, the sun dazzled her eyes, so she quickly ducked her head back into the shadows of the teaching building.

Duan Zilian leaned against the shade.

"Seriously, it's no use asking anyone for help in the end... Am I really supposed to do it myself?!"

Although he hit a wall, the faces of those who were also busy preparing for Monday's drill flashed through his mind one by one.

Shirogane with dark circles under his eyes, Yukino with furrowed brows, and Kaguya Shinomiya with a serious and earnest expression.

He glanced back at the Shuchiin area at the end of the corridor, the forbidden zone that Azusagawa Sakuta called "the noble territory".

"..."

"Fine, I'll do it. I can't keep pushing the burden onto them. I'm a part-time giant, after all."

Duan Zilian gave himself a strong pep talk from the bottom of his heart and exhaled a long breath of the heat rising in his chest.

He straightened his back again and strode towards Shuchiin at the end of the corridor.

……

At this moment, in the shadow of the connecting corridor on the third floor of Zongwu High School.

"That's why I say, Duan Zilian is a complete idiot."
