Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

"You're talking nonsense..." Kaguya was about to retort when she felt Rem tug at her arm. Rem glanced back at Kaguya, signaling her to be quiet, then turned back around, smiling, and said, "I'm so sorry, boss, our service was poor. How about this? You can order whatever you want in the store today, and I'll give you a free meal?"

"Free service today? Hmph, I wouldn't care if your little coffee shop offered free service every day. If you can't compensate me today, I'll make sure your shop goes out of business."

"So, sir, what kind of compensation would you like?"

The greasy man glanced at Kaguya, grinned lewdly, and said, "If you want to solve this, it's not difficult. How about letting this waiter keep me company for the night?"

After hearing what the man said, not to mention the two people involved, the surrounding customers couldn't stand it anymore and started criticizing the greasy boss.

But the boss didn't care at all. Instead, he stood up and walked towards Kaguya, trying to grope her in a lewd manner. Rem, seeing this unreasonable and lewd man, finally couldn't stand it anymore and punched him a few times.

When the man saw that he was being hit, and that the girl was surprisingly strong, he was terrified and ran away, yelling, "Hey, stop hitting me! You little bitch, I'm not done with you!" Kaguya grabbed a stool and tried to hit the man with it. The man, seeing this, dropped his shoes and ran away from the coffee shop.

Meanwhile, Chika and Natsuhiko, having finished their playful antics, felt thirsty and went to Rem's coffee shop. Before even entering, they saw a fat man making unwanted advances towards Kaguya, seemingly wanting to go in and help.

Upon seeing this, Qianhua panicked and quickly grabbed Xia Yan's hand, squatting down beside him. Xia Yan was also startled by this sudden action. Seeing Qianhua squat down, he hurriedly asked, "Qianhua, what's wrong?"

"Xia Yan, my stomach hurts."

"Stomach ache? Are you alright? Let me take you to a coffee shop to rest for a bit."

"No, no, no... No!" Chika cried out. "No, why? Aren't you in pain?" Chika was still shocked by her own cry just now. When she came to her senses, she saw Xia Yan looking at her with a puzzled expression, and her heart panicked even more.

She didn't want Xia Yan to help Kaguya, but she didn't know what else to do.

Her eyes darted around, but she didn't dare look at Xia Yan. After observing Qian Hua's actions, Xia Yan understood why she was doing this.

After helping Chika up, he said to her, "Chika, Kaguya is in trouble, I can't just ignore it."

Then, leaving Chika behind, they went into the coffee shop.

Chapter Nineteen Male God

Dressed in a sleek black suit, a blue and white tie, and sporting a side-parted hairstyle with gelled hair, Xia Yan exuded a god-like aura. With his handsome face, captivating eyes, high nose bridge, and alluring thin lips, he was the center of attention wherever he went. He appeared in a maid café.

The coffee shop was filled with beautiful women wearing black and white headbands, black bow ties around their necks, black and white tiered skirts, white stockings, and black leather shoes with bows.

Each table with guests had a maid standing beside it, and the guests were all men in suits. There were almost no female guests.

Many of the male customers were pot-bellied and had oily faces. Some had wrinkled faces, some had acne scars, and some had unkempt beards—all sorts of male customers.

Kaguya wore a black, tight-fitting, off-the-shoulder dress, black pointed high heels, her long black hair styled to one side, large silver hoop earrings, thick, black, straight eyebrows, gray-black eyeshadow, long eyelashes, purple-red contact lenses, and black fingernails. Her every move exuded contempt.

Kaguya's eyes lit up when she saw who was standing at the door. Her face was full of joy, and she wanted to fly to Natsuhiko's side. In order to maintain her aloofness and elegance, she slowly walked towards Natsuhiko step by step.

"Master, welcome back!" A beautiful maid-dressed woman stood at the door, looking at the stunningly handsome man, and habitually uttered the same words, unable to say anything else.

"Oh my god, is there really such a handsome god? Is he a god descended from heaven? Am I dreaming? Wake up!" Thinking this, he slapped himself hard, and with a "smack," he almost cried.

The maids inside kept looking towards the door and started whispering among themselves.

"Do you think what I'm seeing is real? I'm not seeing things, am I? He's so handsome!" a beautiful woman dressed as a maid exclaimed excitedly.

"You haven't seen it, but I have. It's not a dream, it must be real. Wow, so handsome!" Another beautiful woman in a maid outfit said happily, her eyes sparkling.

"I want to have his babies, he's so handsome, I love him to death."

"A god has descended to save me? Come on, come quickly, take me away!"

"Stop chatting, you're all just standing there doing nothing. I'm going to get their contact information." A tall, voluptuous maid walked towards Xia Yan. All the maids rushed to surround Xia Yan.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

"Handsome, can I have your contact information?" After saying that, a slender maid took out her phone, lit up the screen, and waited for Xia Yan's reply.

"Handsome, do you have plans tonight?" After saying that, the big-eyed maid winked at Xia Yan.

... .. ...

"Handsome, here's my contact information. Want me to send it to you?" After saying that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yan.

"My god, I hope you'll flirt with me." After saying that, the beautiful, voluptuous maid puffed out her breasts.

At this point, the male customers, their faces filled with anger, began to speak.

"Is that guy handsome? Is he as handsome as me?" a fat, big-eared male customer said.

"What the hell? You're only one ten-thousandth as good as me, and you call that handsome? Humph!" said a male customer with a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and a face full of freckles.

"Handsome? I'm more like a cricket than a cricket! Haha," another greasy-faced male customer said with a laugh.

The male customers had a variety of opinions, all expressing dissatisfaction with the situation.

Chapter Twenty: There are no negative reviews whatsoever.

The male customer was furious when he saw that Xia Yan had attracted all the maids around him.

"Hmph! What's so great about that kid? Why don't you come and serve me?" A hot-tempered male customer yelled at a maid.

But none of the maids paid him any attention; they were all busy rushing towards Xia Yan.

"Wow! This man is so handsome. I must have him."

"It's '327'! Yes, it is. How can there be such a perfect man in the world? My mouth is watering."

The male customer next to them was so angry his face turned pale, and he kept stomping his feet. But the maids didn't see anyone else but Xia Yan.

"Hmph, what a lousy coffee shop! It's all about looks, not about drinking coffee. A bunch of people making a racket there, it really ruined my mood. Humph!"

That male customer was jealous of Xia Yan. Why were so many maids walking past Xia Yan as soon as he arrived? Wasn't he handsome?

The thought of this makes me angrier and angrier.

"What a terrible coffee shop! Thumbs down, thumbs down, thumbs down!"

Rem happened to overhear the male customer's words as she passed by, and she was furious when she heard him say he was going to give the store a bad review.

Suddenly, she transformed from an adorable little girl into a sophisticated career woman, her eyes filled not only with intense hostility but also with the image of a male customer being torn to shreds.

"What did you say!" Rem yelled at the male customer.

"I heard this coffee shop is terrible. Are you going to give it a bad review? What's wrong with this coffee shop? Are you sure you want to give it a bad review?"

Rem, suppressing her anger, looked at the male customer in front of her and asked him politely. However, the coffee shop was already air-conditioned and not very hot, but Rem's arrival turned it from a cool place into an unbearably hot summer.

"Yes. Your service here is terrible, I have to give you a bad review."

The male customers next to them joined in the commotion. After all, Rem in front of them looked like a cute girl no matter how you looked at her, except that her voice was a little scary.

Those male customers hadn't experienced Rem's terror, so they still insisted on giving the store a bad review.

When the male customer insisted on his opinion, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed from summer to winter, as if it were about to freeze someone to death. The male customer couldn't help but sneeze.

Rem, of course, wouldn't allow negative reviews to happen in the shop, so she looked at the male customer who was leading the chorus of complaints about giving the coffee shop a bad review with a terrifying aura in her eyes. It was like the smell of death emanating from the depths of hell, making one feel terrified.

"If you're sure you're going to give a bad review, I can't guarantee you'll leave here alive. As for tomorrow's sun, maybe you'll see the red spider lilies, but not the sun. Get out of here before I change my mind. As for the bad review, if I find out, I'll tear your 4.9 rating to shreds immediately."

The male customers were so frightened by what they heard that they fled in panic. They never expected that Rem, who looked so cute, actually harbored a demon more wicked than any demon.

Kaguya and Chiba, standing nearby, immediately realized that Rem, the cute-looking but fickle-hearted girl, must be the manager of the maid café.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Devilish Shopkeeper

That man never imagined that such a seemingly cute girl could be a monster inside. Terrified by Rem's words, he quickly slipped away when no one was looking, fearing he might not see the sun rise tomorrow.

After the man left, the smell of gunpowder in the air vanished instantly, and the temperature returned to normal. Rem remained as cute as she appeared.

"You guys keep drinking your coffee, it was just an accident, hehe. Please forgive me. If you need anything, you can ask the maid or me, it's fine~" Rem said in a sweet voice, it's so sweet it's like your ears are getting pregnant.

She's a completely different person from the man-eating shop manager from before. However, the maids working here are used to it. After all, this isn't the first time Rem has stepped in to handle these negative reviews. Rem is also very kind to the maids and has never blamed them.

Chika had just witnessed everything Rem was going through and felt that Rem's changeable personality was the same kind of free person she had imagined. Chika didn't find Rem scary at all; on the contrary, she thought Rem was really cute.

Thinking of this, Chika went to find Rem.

"Rem, you're so cute. You must be the manager here, right? I'm Chika. I was wondering if you have some free time? I'd like to try some coffee with you. Could you take me with you?"

Chika's eyes were full of envy and affection for Rem.

"Sure, I'm bored here all by myself anyway. It'll be good to have you with me. The maids are busy taking care of the customers and don't have much time for me. You have no idea how bored I am in this coffee shop all by myself. If you have time later, you can come and visit me more often."

Hearing Rem say that, Chika thought the same thing. This was truly a win-win situation, and Chika quickly nodded in agreement.

Rem suddenly remembered that Chika had come to enjoy coffee, so she quickly asked, "By the way, what would you like to drink? I'll get it for you." Rem was in high spirits, quite surprised but delighted by Chika's unexpected arrival.

She never expected that besides the maid, there would be other people going to try coffee with her. She hadn't met a girl like Chika in a long time; actually, aside from the bad reviews, Chika was usually super cute.

Her kawaii charm is undeniably appealing to a huge number of people, but they'll all eventually get tired of it. However, Chika's focus is on the coffee, not her cuteness. This surprised Rem. But there's a certain amount of unease, considering there are so many coffee shops, and Rem's isn't the only one.

"I'll have a mocha, please." Chika wasn't really interested in coffee, but she was very interested in Rem, so she didn't know much about coffee, mostly just some famous brands.

"Mocha? Okay."

They're mostly super expensive, but the taste is pretty authentic.

"You sit at that table over there and wait for me, I'll be done soon~"

Rem quickly made the mocha and personally served it to Chika.

Those nearby were envious when they saw that Chika had actually been served coffee by Rem, and that she was sitting at the table with Rem, chatting and laughing.

They sat together, drinking coffee and chatting, their faces close together in the air conditioning. They looked just like best friends.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Ghost Clan Twins

Looking at the adorable Rem in front of him, Xia Yan recalled the terrifying aura Rem had unleashed just now—it was like a demon from hell. Now, looking so cute, there was no trace of that terrifying power she had displayed.

"I don't know how Rem controls her emotions. The change in her emotions is too fast. They're like two completely different people, one second a demon and the next an angel. I wish I could be like that." She sighed after saying that.

Thinking back to his normal life, he couldn't automatically regulate his emotions. If he could, that would be great; he could turn sadness into happiness and avoid accumulating negative energy. Unfortunately, he couldn't, which is why he was even more interested in Rem's special ability.

Xia Yan went over to Rem, wanting to ask her for advice, and said, "Rem, I'm curious about how you change your emotions. Can you tell me?"

“Sure.” Rem was about to tell Natsuhiko when Chika said, “Rem, actually I prefer lattes. Let’s go get lattes, okay? ‖?” Rem couldn’t refuse Chika’s request, so she went to get lattes with her.

But after Chika and Rem finished their lattes, Natsuhiko came over again. "Rem, can you tell me?"

Rem suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Xia Yan about this yet. She had just promised Xia Yan, and now she felt a little guilty. But just like before, Rem hadn't promised Xia Yan yet when Chika pulled her away again.

"Rem, I've finished my drink. I love lattes so much, can I have another one? It's so delicious." Chika didn't want to talk to Natsuhiko, so she made sure Rem stayed away from him as well.

"But... okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Rem felt it wasn't good for Natsuhiko, but she thought that Chika's avoidance of Natsuhiko must have its reasons, so Rem didn't say anything more.

Xia Yan was unhappy to see Chika doing this, so he went over to ask her why she did it.

"What do you mean by this? You love lattes so much? Then I'll drink as many as you want with you, okay?" Xia Yan was angry, so he ordered a latte and sat opposite Qian Hua, wanting to drink with her. An awkward atmosphere permeated the air. Qian Hua didn't want to drink with Xia Yan.

Because of that incident, Chika decided to stay away from Natsuhiko, so she didn't treat him well.
