Savior of the everyday world of crossover anime

Reaching the door of Kaguya Shinomiya's room, Ai Hayasaka took a deep breath, then, with a slightly apprehensive feeling, reached out and knocked on the door.

Although she is no longer human in the strict sense, she still wants to stay by Kaguya Shinomiya's side.

"who is it?"

Inside the room, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, turned around with some confusion upon hearing a knock on the door behind her.

Logically speaking, by this time, the servants in the mansion should have already gone home, and no one should be knocking on her door at this hour.

She didn't speculate about anything terrifying, after all, as the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya Shinomiya never believed in ghost stories or the like.

She put on her shoes, walked forward, and opened the door. What came into Kaguya's view was that familiar figure.

"Hayasaka, you're back?!"

Seeing the delighted look on Kaguya Shinomiya's face, Yasuie Hayasaka calmed her excitement and nodded with a composed expression.

"Yes, I'm back, Kaguya-sama."

Compared to the completely clueless Kaguya Shinomiya, Ai Hayasaka, who has already experienced so much during this time, is worried that if she doesn't control herself, she might lose control of her emotions in front of Kaguya.

Whether she became a vampire or felt lost and confused when she first went to the asylum, the fact that she's finally back is enough.

"Hayasaka, where have you been all this time? I've asked other people, but none of them know where you've been."

Pulling Hayasaka Ai into the house, Kaguya Shinomiya was overjoyed to see her long-lost attendant, but also felt a touch of concern.

"I tried asking my father and the others before, but they wouldn't tell me anything..."

Her personal maid had suddenly disappeared without a word, leaving her, the mistress, completely unaware of her maid's whereabouts.

Kaguya Shinomiya certainly wouldn't suspect that there was anything wrong with Ai Hayasaka because of this; she was just afraid that something might have happened to Ai Hayasaka.

"Is Kaguya-sama worried about me?"

Upon entering the house, when faced with Kaguya Shinomiya's question, Ai Hayasaka did not directly answer Kaguya's question, but instead asked a question in return.

"How could that be? It's just that as my close attendant who has been with me for many years, I should show more consideration for my subordinates as their master."

Hearing Hayasaka Ai's words, Kaguya Shinomiya blushed slightly, clearly realizing that she had been too hasty. As the master, she should have asked the question more calmly at this moment.

Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya in front of her, Ai Hayasaka shook her head helplessly, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, which quickly returned to its expressionless state.

"In that case, I'll just take it as Kaguya-sama's concern for me."

"More importantly, Hayasaka, you haven't answered my question yet, have you?"

Before Hayasaka Ai could change the subject, Shinomiya Kaguya pressed on with her question.

Hayasaka Ai was right. Shinomiya Kaguya was indeed concerned about Hayasaka Ai and worried that she might have been forced to do something against her will at the Shinomiya main family.

Hayasaka Ai found her young mistress's personality—clearly caring but unwilling to express it—a bit troublesome, but she was also secretly delighted.

"Miss Kaguya, please don't worry. I was just sent to work at another company on the orders of the head of the family. I was just too busy to contact you during this time."

The shelter had anticipated this kind of questioning, so before leaving the shelter, Hayasaka Ai had been specially trained on how to answer in such situations.

Chapter 83: Kaguya Shinomiya Suffers a Double Minotaur Attack

"Is it a well-known company you've been in contact with?"

Hearing Hayasaka Ai's words, Kaguya Shinomiya had no doubts. After all, the Hayasaka family was once one of the top powerful families in Japan, but it was only absorbed by the Shinomiya family after it was defeated. Now, it is at least a high-ranking member of the Shinomiya Group.

Although Hayasaka Ai is Kaguya Shinomiya's maid, as the only daughter of the Hayasaka family, she is qualified to represent the Shinomiya family in some external communications. However, she had always stayed by Kaguya Shinomiya's side as a maid, so she did not show it.

Now, Kaguya Shinomiya is only concerned about which company Hayasaka Ai has been assigned to. Logically speaking, the companies or conglomerates that can contact the Shinomiya Group should at least be top-tier companies or conglomerates.

There aren't many such beings in Japan, and Kaguya Shinomiya is aware of them all. Therefore, as soon as Ai Hayasaka says the name, she can immediately recall the corresponding information.

"It's the Takahashi Group, Kaguya-sama."

Hayasaka Ai then spoke.

"My task was to contact the head of the Takahashi Group and try to bring him closer to the Shinomiya Group in order to achieve a closer cooperation."

These were the words spoken to her by the staff in charge of the shelter when she left.

Hayasaka Ai speculated that there must be some kind of connection between the Takahashi Foundation and the Anomalous Containment Facility.

Currently, all the top executives of the Shinomiya Group are under control and have completely fallen into the control of the containment center. With the cover of the Takahashi Group, and with the support of two top conglomerates, even if Hayasaka Ai tells the most outrageous lies, she will probably be able to easily cover them up in the end.

However, if she remembered correctly, the current head of the Takahashi Group seems to be Takahashi Yu, the student council president of Shuchiin University.

Thinking of this, Hayasaka Ai's heart trembled.

Hayasaka Ai remembered that her Kaguya-sama was very curious about President Takahashi, even though she never showed it, she had noticed it before.

"Takahashi Group... Chairman???"

As expected, upon hearing Hayasaka Ai's answer, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately thought of Takahashi Yu.

Is the chairman actually going to cooperate with the Shinomiya Group? But that makes sense. After all, the chairman is a big shot who can stand on equal footing with my father. The Shinomiya Group and the Takahashi Group are both top conglomerates in Japan, so it's perfectly normal for them to cooperate with each other.

For ordinary people like them, a summer vacation might just be spent staying at home or going somewhere to play, but for the president, there are probably too many things to do.

Wait... no!

Suddenly, Kaguya Shinomiya's dark red eyes widened, and she turned to look at Ai Hayasaka as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Hayasaka, your mission is to make contact with the head of the Takahashi Group and strengthen the cooperation between the Takahashi Group and the Shinomiya Group. Does that mean you've been staying by the chairman's side all this time?!"

"Is such that."

In response to Kaguya Shinomiya's question, Ai Hayasaka calmly nodded.

In fact, she had been staying in the shelter all this time and had not seen Takahashi Yu at all, but since she had already said that, she could only continue with this excuse.

"Then, Hayasaka, what exactly happened during your contact with the student council president...?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's voice trembled slightly, but Ai Hayasaka didn't notice. After all, Kaguya's question had clearly gone beyond the scope of normal questioning, meaning that she would have to make up her own answer this time.

"It's roughly about... taking care of Chairman Takahashi's daily life, helping with some trivial matters, managing his schedule, and building relationships. As for collaborations, those are handled personally by the head of the family."

Responsible for taking care of daily needs, handling chores, and managing schedules...

Kaguya Shinomiya quietly organized these things and found a job that corresponded to them.

Isn't this exactly what a personal maid's job entails?!

Hayasaka, she's become the student council president's maid? And she kept it a secret from me until today?!

For a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe and had a dull pain.

Her childhood best friend has become someone else's maid, and the student council president she's always admired has been secretly approached by the person she trusts most, all without her knowledge...

In an instant, two different kinds of pain intertwined, giving Kaguya Shinomiya feelings that were indescribable.

Is this job over?

Kaguya Shinomiya asked.

"Not yet. I have to go back during the day and can only return to Kaguya-sama's side at night."

Hayasaka Ai answered.

"Oh...I see. That makes sense. After all, it's a very important collaboration, so it's normal for it to take a little longer, very normal..."

Two different kinds of pain intertwined, and Kaguya Shinomiya's mind trembled. On one side was Hayasaka, and on the other was the student council president, both of whom were extremely important to her.

What could be worse than being attacked by a minotaur once? It's being attacked by a minotaur twice.

For a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya waved her hand wearily.

"Hayasaka, you should go back and rest. I want to be alone for a while."

"Okay, then Miss Kaguya, remember to get some rest early too."

Hayasaka Ai nodded to Kaguya Shinomiya and didn't linger.

Although she really wanted to spend more time with Kaguya-sama, she already regretted her words after mentioning work.

After all, Kaguya-sama and President Takahashi spent a semester together in the student council, so they must be quite familiar with each other. If Kaguya-sama were to contact President Takahashi right now to verify this, and I failed to communicate with him in time, it would be bad if I accidentally revealed the truth.

Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Hayasaka Ai was preparing to find an excuse to leave. At this time, Shinomiya Kaguya suggested that she wanted to be alone, so she took the opportunity to leave.

......

One night passed, and the next day arrived.

As dawn was breaking, Hayasaka Ai had already calculated Kaguya Shinomiya's usual wake-up time, instructed the servants in the mansion to start preparing breakfast, and then left a message for Miss Kaguya before the sky was fully light.

Half an hour later, Kaguya Shinomiya got up on time and learned from the maid that Ai Hayasaka had already left.

"Is Hayasaka really that eager to go see the student council president?"

...

...

PS: Regarding the villains in the One-Punch Man world, the author has never really decided. Normally, Ainz Ooal Gown would definitely be suitable. He would be a monster in the One-Punch Man world and would be perfect for completing missions. But I always feel that Ainz Ooal Gown's abilities don't quite fit into One-Punch Man.

The Black Sakura drawn from the A Certain Magical Index is also quite good. The author thinks she is more suitable for the One-Punch Man world than Ainz Ooal Gown. Moreover, Black Sakura's strength is just right. She is neither too strong nor too weak in the One-Punch Man world. I personally think she should have the strength of an upper-S-class character, which is the middle to upper-Dragon level. She is also quite suitable to be a villain.

Chapter 84: Ryougi Shiki Heads to the House of Evolution

"Looks like this is the place."

In the world of One-Punch Man, in a certain forest, Ryougi Shiki looked at the building not far away and spoke.

After recovering from the physical injuries sustained in her battle with Vaccine Man, Ryougi Shiki returned to the world of One-Punch Man and, under Takahashi Hayao's orders, began searching for the location of the House of Evolution.

Ryougi Shiki alone could not possibly find the House of Evolution. After all, the original work only describes the process of the House of Evolution being destroyed, and there is basically no mention of its specific location.

Fortunately, Takahashi Yu was aware of this, so he went to trouble Merlin again. With Merlin's clairvoyance, Ryougi Shiki was able to confirm the location of the House of Evolution.

Gazing at the House of Evolution before her, Ryougi Shiki silently adjusted her equipment.

In addition to her own dagger, she also has a steel katana specially made by the internment camp. Although it is not as flexible as the dagger, it can be used to extend her attack range when necessary to deal with different situations.

The dozen or so small daggers used for throwing are necessary. Although Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception have evolved to have the ability to directly trigger death lines and death points from a distance, this method of use is extremely energy-consuming. If she uses them too many times and overuses them, her clone Ryougi Shiki will fall into a coma just like when she faced Vaccine Man last time. Therefore, the existence of these throwing daggers is still very necessary.

In addition, Takahashi Yu originally planned to have Ryougi Shiki bring some simple protective gear developed by the containment facility, but considering that the weight of the gear might reduce the body's flexibility, she finally gave up on that idea.

With her katana hanging at her waist and her dagger concealed in her sleeve, Ryougi Shiki leaped into the air and headed straight for the House of Evolution building not far away.
