Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

"You've raised another monster?"

Hayasaka Ai was initially confused, then seemed to realize something, her eyes widening, "President Shangguan, you mean, back in the first year of high school..."

"You remembered? I'm curious, it's only been a few months and another monster has been born. Your negative emotions are too much."

At the time, considering his relationship with Kaguya Shinomiya and the fact that she was also a student at Shuchiin Academy, Shangguan Yun helped him get rid of a monster.

I didn't expect to encounter this situation again today.

Hayasaka Ai felt a little scared, thinking that she had only relaxed after her mother's intervention.

Looking back now, if it weren't for Chairman Shangguan's help back then, I probably would have committed suicide long ago...

"Thank you, President Shangguan."

Hayasaka felt grateful. If it weren't for the guilt in her heart that gave birth to a demon, she wouldn't have had such a strong urge to commit suicide, given her willpower.

"Forget it, just be careful to manage your emotions in the future, otherwise killing this one will only lead to another monster appearing."

Shangguan Yun waved his hand, quite pleased that Hayasaka Ai hadn't asked him curiously why he could see monsters or how he possessed such power.

He couldn't be bothered to explain these things to others.

With a clenched fist, the goldfish monster that had been chasing them for half a street exploded with a "bang".

"Wow, that's strong!"

Yato looked on with envy. If he could be this strong without using a divine weapon, he wouldn't need to hide from Bishamonten at all; he could just pin that woman to the ground and beat her to a pulp.

"hiss--"

Yato, who was lost in his fantasies, suddenly clutched his chest and cried out in pain.

"Yato?!"

Seeing Yato's behavior, Hiyori Iki immediately guessed that Yukine must have done something bad again and stabbed her master.

Shangguan Yun narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at Yato, who had a pained expression.

"It seems the artifact you acquired is a rather disobedient fellow. Why don't you kill it?"

For Shangguan Yun, if any of his subordinates betrayed him, he would show absolutely no mercy.

Trying to change someone who hurt you with love is futile; they don't have the time or energy.

"Huh...huh..."

Yato was breathing heavily. Hearing Shangguan Yun's question, he forced an ugly smile. "Xueyin... he's just at an age where he's still naive. I want to train him myself."

"Is that so..."

Shangguan Yun saw the other party's determination and stopped trying to persuade him.

Once a decision is made, one must naturally bear the corresponding risks, even gods are no exception.

Hiyori Iki clenched her fists. A few days ago, she had met Bishamonten's divine artifact, Mr. Koma, and was protected by him from being discovered by Bishamonten.

The other person also told her that if Yato continued like this, he might die, but she didn't want Yukine to get hurt.

Two people should have been in a relationship of mutual support, so why did it turn out like this?

Hayasaka Ai listened to their conversation, feeling completely bewildered.

What happened today feels like a dream.

Although she was a member of the Shinomiya family, she knew nothing about the mystical side.

Everything she saw tonight was constantly challenging her worldview.

'No wonder the main family doesn't allow me to inquire about Chairman Shangguan at all, nor do they stop the young lady from contacting him. It seems they know something, and it's definitely not just because he's from the Shangguan family.'

'Does Miss know about Chairman Shangguan's affairs?'

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but worry about her young lady. Could that idiot Kaguya really capture President Shangguan's heart?

"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now. My cousin is still waiting for me at home."

Shangguan Yun picked up the vegetables he had placed on a stone step and looked at the group.

Yato gradually recovered and extended his hand to Shangguan Yun, saying, "Thank you for helping me get rid of that monster today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. My name is Yato, and I am a genuine god!"

"If you need anything, I can come to your door. The first two times are free, but after that, it will cost five yuan per visit. We are open 24 hours a day, all year round, and your satisfaction is guaranteed!"

Seeing Yato proudly starting his business, Hiyori Iki awkwardly covered her face.

What a shame!

"My name is Shangguan Yun. By the way, do you know Bishamonten?"

Shangguan Yun grasped Ye Dou's outstretched hand, his expression stiffening. He subtly withdrew his hand, silently evaporating the sweat from his fingers.

"!!!"

Yato's eyes widened, a sudden panic gripping his heart. He quickly feigned a blank expression. "Bishamonten? Who's that? Sounds like a really powerful guy, haha... hahaha..."

"..."

Shangguan Yun was speechless. Could this guy's acting get any worse?

"Don't worry, I have no interest in your relationship. I just owe her a favor. If she wants to use this favor against you, then I can only apologize."

"Um... could you please tell me, who is more powerful, you or Bishamonten?"

Yato asked cautiously, trying to estimate his chances of escaping from his clutches.

He felt that given the hatred that woman, Bishamonten, harbored towards him, there was a 99% chance she would use this favor on him.

Shangguan Yun revealed a meaningful smile and said, "Let me put it this way, I think it will only take me a few breaths to destroy Takamagahara."

Yato's ingratiating smile froze, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "What...what did you just say?"

Shangguan Yun stopped explaining, patted Yato on the shoulder, and said, "Just pray that Bishamonten won't send me to deal with you..."

"Who exactly are you?! Do you think you can just wipe out Takamagahara like that?! That's the lair of the gods!"

Yato was going crazy. If what he just said wasn't a joke, then he might as well just wash his neck and wait to die.

What's the point of playing this game?!

"Well, actually my name isn't Yato. My real identity is Takemikazuchi."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai, who was secretly observing, seemed oblivious to everything around her.

What kind of person has our young lady taken a fancy to?

Even legendary gods can't afford to offend this person, does this young lady still have any hope of success...?

"Hayasaka-san, could you please not tell Kaguya about what happened today? I don't want her to feel pressured when she's with me."

"Ah... okay, okay, I won't tell anyone," Hayasaka Ai assured her.

'What does President Shangguan mean? Are you going to keep the young lady's identity a secret? If you don't put pressure on her, could it be...?'

Hayasaka Ai had a somewhat unbelievable guess in her mind: Could it be that President Shangguan also has feelings for the young lady?

'Could it be that the young lady's foolish method actually works?'

For some reason, Hayasaka Ai thought of the warm and safe feeling she had when she hugged Shangguan Yun before.

He quickly shook his head, silently repeating to himself, 'I can't let the young lady down, I can't let the young lady down...'

Shangguan Yun comforted Yato, who was about to cry, and Hayasaka Ai thanked him and learned the name of Iki Hiyori.

As they parted ways, Hayasaka Ai realized she might be having another sleepless night. She was just a lowly maid; why did she have to endure all this…

When Shangguan Yun returned home, he saw Ai Haibara sitting on the sofa with her knees drawn up, waiting for him. He went over and ruffled her hair.

Just as the other person was about to speak up in dissatisfaction, he smiled and said, "I'll take you to meet your sister this Saturday."

"real?!"

Ai Haibara jumped up with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Bishamonten has agreed, but we can only see each other up close. I will shield the artifacts from your senses so they won't be able to detect you, is that alright?"

After spending time together, Shangguan Yun also came to regard the well-behaved and sensible Xiao Ai as family.

He also didn't want the other person to be sad because they couldn't reunite with their sister.

"That's enough... Thank you..."

Ai Haibara's eyes were a little red. Because she trusted Shangguan Yun and didn't want to cause him any trouble, she hadn't asked about her sister.

But when I finally learned that I would be able to see my sister again, I couldn't contain my excitement.

Even if they can't acknowledge each other, it's enough for her to know that her current sister is living a good life.

Shangguan Yun reached out and ruffled Ai Haibara's hair again.

Ai Haibara lowered her head, her slender neck, hidden beneath her collar, slightly flushed...

The next evening, the two of them cooked a sumptuous meal together and invited Vermouth and Tang Keke. The four of them had a dinner party at Shangguan Yun's place.

'Fate is truly wondrous.'

Vermouth looked at Ai Haibara, who sat opposite her with a blank expression, with a smile, and sighed inwardly.

If the other party hadn't encountered Shangguan Yun, they would probably still be running around trying to evade the organization, or perhaps they'd died somewhere unknown.

Her life was incredibly leisurely; the BOSS hadn't assigned her any other tasks, and she remained Shangguan Yun's personal driver.

However, since the other party rarely uses the car, her task became taking Tang Keke to school.

After that, Tang Keke trained every day in order to win first place at the celebration in a while. She would either ride the bicycle that Guan Yun bought for her to school or simply run there.

Vermouth had even less to do; her daily pleasure was watching Gin get busy and overwhelmed.

After learning that no further action against Sherry was permitted, the man, in a fit of rage, discovered three undercover agents, which further angered him.

Just as Vermouth was happily sipping the red wine that Shangguan Yun had thoughtfully prepared, she heard Shangguan Yun say, "Chris, could you please pick me and Xiao Ai up around nine o'clock on Saturday morning? I need to take Xiao Ai to meet someone."

Vermouth's spirits lifted instantly upon hearing this, and she exclaimed, "Miyano?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

Vermouth was also a little excited. She wanted to see what Miyano Akemi looked like now. As a divine artifact, she was now serving a legendary god.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll have the chance to see what the gods really look like?

"What are you talking about? Bro, who are you taking Ai to see?"

Tang Keke, with a straw in her mouth, looked at the group with curiosity.

"It's nothing, drink your juice."

"Tch, fine, I won't tell you then."

Tang Keke rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yun in a cute way.

After a satisfying meal, Vermouth drove Don Coco back to her apartment.

Ai Haibara took the initiative to tidy up the table.

Shangguan Yun felt that if things continued like this, he might really be turned into a useless person by the hardworking and capable Xiao Ai...

However, being a useless person is actually quite nice.

Enjoying youth and living a carefree, leisurely life—that's a wonderful thing.

"Ring ring—"

Just as he began to fantasize about a carefree, laid-back life, his phone suddenly rang.

When Shangguan Yun saw that the caller ID showed Shangguan Jin, he really wanted to hang up the phone immediately.
