I am a freeloader in the anime world

"Yukino?"

Hearing Su Yang's exclamation in her arms, Sakurajima Mai also reacted at this time and quickly pushed Su Yang away.

"Do you need me to leave for a while?"

Yukinoshita Yukino tried to remain calm and spoke indifferently, but the sadness in her words could not be concealed at all.

"this......"

Even at this time, listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's tone, Sakurajima Mai, who had been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, also noticed that something was wrong. She just thought about it for a moment and knew the reason.

Sakurajima Mai finally understood why Yukinoshita Yukino, who obviously didn't like drinking coffee, would prepare coffee-making utensils in the Service Club, and why Yukinoshita Yukino always prepared two lunch boxes even though she was alone, and why she would leave the uneaten lunch box in the Service Club after school and not take it away until the next day, and then prepare a new one.

"It turns out that what Yukino did was not unnecessary, it was for Yang Jun."

Sakurajima Mai's expression, which was originally filled with joy at seeing the person she had been thinking about day and night, now turned depressed.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!

Su Yang roared wildly in his heart. For some reason, he always felt like there was a kitchen knife hanging over his forehead, as if it would pierce his brain stem at the next moment.

However, before Su Yang could come up with a solution, the conversation between Sakurajima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino caused Su Yang's CPU to overload.

"So, the person you were talking about is Hoshino-kun."

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino had put away her other emotions. She just walked quietly to the opposite side of Su Yang's seat. After putting down her things, she walked to the table with tea-making utensils and skillfully brewed black tea. As for coffee, she had no intention of brewing it at all.

"Well, I didn't expect that what you did before was for Yang Jun."

Mai Sakurajima also left Su Yang's side, pulled over an empty chair from the side, and sat down next to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Please use."

Yukinoshita Yukino placed the cup of black tea in front of Sakurajima Mai, and took away the unfinished cup of coffee in front of Su Yang.

"Forehead......"

Su Yang was about to protest, but then realized that if he spoke at this moment, he might lose his life. He had to sit obediently in his seat, remain silent, and constantly look for ways to reduce his presence.

"Do you need a knife?"

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man who looked a bit annoying was heard in the service department.

"We have kitchen knives, hatchets, bone-chopping knives, and meat-shaving knives. If you want anything else, I can provide that, too."

A light curtain suddenly appeared behind Su Yang, and then a man in Confucian clothes holding a few knives in his hands walked through the light curtain and appeared in the service department.

"Store manager."

"Mr. Store Manager."

"You bastard? Why are you here?!"

When they saw the man in Confucian robes, the three of them reacted differently.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Do you want a knife?" The store manager walked up to Mai Sakurajima and Yukinoshita Yukino and placed the knife in his hand on the table in front of the two women.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the tips of the knives were pointing at Su Yang, while the handles were pointing at Sakurajima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino.

"!!!"

Su Yang's hair stood on end.

I don’t know if it’s because of the store manager’s arrival, but the tense atmosphere in the service department, which was originally a bit tense, has now disappeared.

Yukinoshita Yukino did not answer the manager's question, but picked up the meat razor on the table. Sakurajima Mai, who was standing next to her, saw what Yukinoshita did and also picked up the kitchen knife on the table.

"!!!!!!"

At this moment, Su Yang felt a big word "danger" pop up on his forehead. He decisively waved his right hand, summoned a light curtain, and rushed in desperately.

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Su Yang's funny scene, Sakurajima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino first looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

"I won't let go."

I don't know how long the two laughed. After a while, Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head and said to Sakurajima Mai, her tone firm, her expression serious, and with an indomitable momentum.

"I don't know either." Sakurajima Mai also smiled slightly, with the same firm tone and serious expression.

"Let's just say, if it really doesn't work out, you two can do it together." The store manager shrugged and said to Sakurajima Mai and Yukinoshita Yukino, "You both can't let go anyway, so it's not impossible to do it together. He is immortal, and a short-lived love is like a poisonous curse to that guy. He can't avoid it. I don't think one of you can succeed. It's better for the two of you to work hard together and fight together. The chances of success are greater, unless you can really let go."

Mai Sakurajima and Yukinoshita Yukino are not fools. On the contrary, they are both smart people. Of course they understand what the manager means, but they have their own pride in their hearts. However, the manager's words are like planting a seed, which will naturally sprout when the time is right.

However, the atmosphere within the service department became friendly after Su Yang left.

............

"Thanks."

In the back kitchen of Ping An Hotel, Su Yang sat on a small chair in front of the stove and spoke to the manager who came out from the light curtain at the side.

"You're welcome." The store manager was very proud. "Didn't you find any food? I put away all the edible food in the kitchen before going to Sobu High School."

(*￣m￣)

Seeing the store manager's disgustingly smug expression, Su Yang said that he was hard and his fist was hard!

"Forget it, since you saved my life today, I won't hit you this time."

Su Yang loosened his clenched fists.

"You have some conscience," the store manager snorted, "how do you think of the proposal I gave you before?"

"What proposal?"

"A proposal for a companion."

"Even dogs don't talk about love!"

"You're just being stubborn. Let me give you a piece of advice. It's impossible for people like us to be loyal to one person."

"What if?"

"When you ask that, there's no such thing as a one-time event."

Su Yang was silent and didn't say anything. He just sat quietly on the small chair.

When the manager saw Su Yang's appearance, he didn't say anything, but just patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Ugh."

I don’t know how long it took, Su Yang sighed and stood up.

"Have you figured it out?"

"No." Su Yang shook his head.

"If not, why are you sighing?"

"There's a mission coming."

"..."

"Okay." The store manager was speechless.

"Then I'll go first." Su Yang raised his hand and summoned a light curtain.

"Is your mission monsters or illegal travelers?" the store manager called Su Yang.

“Illegal crossers.”

"Then do you have enough merit for the mission?"

"not enough."

"If it's not enough, then restrain yourself. Don't kill them. Just expel them. Otherwise, you will go to the small dark room."

"By the way, I've always been curious, why can't we kill illegal travelers?" Su Yang raised a question that has been bothering him for twenty years since he came to this world.

"Because illegal travelers do not belong to the world they traveled to, if they die in the world they traveled to, they will consume the original power of the world they traveled to. Once the original power of a world is consumed, the world will lose its ability to resist, and the result will be a large-scale invasion by monsters. At that time, we employees will have more tasks to do. We can't do the tasks we like now, and we can just slack off like crazy."

"Then why don't we just ignore the illegal crossers? After all, most of the illegal crossers were killed by us." Su Yang shrugged and said helplessly.

"Unlike us, the legal travelers who are immortal, illegal travelers have limited lifespans and are bound to die, which will also weaken the origin of the world."

"Then why not wait until they are about to die and then send them back to their world?"

"Originally, the Time Travel Bureau handled it this way. But do you think those illegal travelers who traveled to other worlds and got used to a life of superiority would be willing to return to their original world? Don't overestimate human nature."

"..."

After hearing the manager's words, Su Yang fell silent.

Human nature has a bright side and a dark side, and we should never overestimate human nature.

(ps: This is to explain to some of the previous readers why we don’t kill the illegal travelers. This question was originally planned to be raised in the later plot, so this is explained in advance.

In addition, since this is the author's first time writing a manga-style novel, as a first attempt, there are many details and plots that are not handled well. I would like to apologize to all readers again.

sorry!

In addition, regarding the gift issue, to be honest, the author really wants a gift, but after thinking about it carefully, forget it. After all, no one's money comes from the wind. It is better to save the reward money to buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of water than to give it to a stranger like me. If you really want to reward, just do it for love. Although the amount is not much, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy. If you think it is troublesome to watch ads but really want to encourage the author, then you can change it to a reminder, comment, or give a five-star praise.

The author would like to thank all the readers! )
