A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Good morning, Mr. Tanaka!

Hoshino Gokawa would respond in kind with the same friendly attitude.

After walking a few more steps, he arrived at the entrance of the teaching building, which was also where the shoe cabinets were located.

"Whoosh!" The students who were still changing their shoes rushed towards their classrooms without even bothering to make sure their feet were completely inside.

Why...why...are they...so...afraid of you?

"You...didn't...do...anything...to...them..."

The inner voice of Kalirus suddenly uttered a question.

"Because of rumors, Callirus."

"What...is...rumors...gossip."

"Well... you can understand it as when someone does something, the people who see it or hear it will subconsciously exaggerate it, or even fabricate facts out of thin air."

For example, I originally only hit one person, but after they exaggerated it, it became that I hit ten or even a hundred people.

"I see……"

Having roughly understood the meaning, Kalirus fell silent once again.

Hoshino Gokawa was already used to this; unless he called out to him, the other party would only speak when he was confused.

Tread...tread...

He closed the shoe cabinet and turned to walk towards Class 5C.

Chapter Three: Substitute Teachers

Click!

The sound of the classroom door being pulled open instantly attracted the attention of some overly curious students.

Upon seeing who had entered, they unconsciously lowered their voices, even tugging at their friends' clothes to signal them to be more mindful.

"..."

Then, as if by a chain reaction, the once noisy classroom became much quieter.

Tread...tread...

Unconcerned about the strange looks from others, Hoshino Gokawa walked a few steps to his seat, but unfortunately it wasn't the main seat in the second-to-last row by the window.

"Brush... brush..."

After putting his schoolbag in his drawer and preparing what he needed for the next class, Hoshino Gokawa closed his eyes in his seat. After all, given the rumors and gossip, not many people were willing to approach him, let alone befriend him.

Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to be his friend, but most of those people weren't in his class, so even if Hoshino Gokawa wanted to chat, he couldn't.

A few minutes later……

"Whoosh!" When an adult's footsteps appeared in the classroom, Hoshino Gogawa opened his eyes, and his attention was instantly focused on the unfamiliar teacher on the podium.

"Dear students, since Ms. Mizuno is on maternity leave, I will be teaching your Japanese language classes for the next period of time. My name is Yatsushiro, you can call me Yatsushiro-sensei." The teacher standing on the podium gently wrote his name on the blackboard.

The teacher was unaware that the moment he wrote down the name, a student in the audience couldn't help but squint.

"Am I overthinking it... or... is he really that Yashiro Gaku?"

Since some of the people he knows are characters from anime he actually watched in his past life, Hoshino Gokawa now subconsciously associates familiar names with anime characters he has watched.

And coincidentally, the name Yashiro Manabu is a character from an anime he watched in his previous life, a work called "Erased".

It's roughly about an adult who travels back in time and does everything he can to save a childhood classmate who died. In the end, he discovers that the mastermind behind the killer is actually his beloved teacher. It's quite an interesting work. As for why he still remembers it after ten years...

That's thanks to his fusion with Kalirus, of course. Skills like photographic memory are just child's play for him. What's truly terrifying is his current strength.

If he wanted, Hoshino Gokawa could rule the planet with his unparalleled power, and those monsters, gods, and other freaks would be nothing more than a matter of crushing them with a single finger.

Unfortunately, his ambitions lay elsewhere. Rather than being a ruler, he actually preferred to be a traveler, to see the full panorama of various worlds. After all, Kalirus's essence was space, which meant he could be a pure street urchin.

However, if he wanted to become a traveler, he would have to finish high school at the very least, because if he didn't finish high school, it wouldn't be easy for him to explain to his parents in this life.

Given the debt of gratitude for giving birth to them and raising them, there's no way I could just run away without considering their feelings, unless I'm an extremely selfish person.

Back to the main topic...

After Hoshino Satoru suspected that he might be a murderous teacher, he silently expanded his senses to the entire school and began searching for someone named Fujinuma Satoru.

Of course, he could have ignored this matter. After all, no matter what the murderer teacher did, he couldn't be a threat to him. If the teacher tried to harm him, the other party would be the one who would die.

But how to put it? Perhaps it's because he's returned to his youth, that youthful vigor he had lost has gradually returned to him, which is why his current style of doing things is slightly different from his previous life.

In layman's terms, he has new hope and new expectations for his life, and he no longer has to worry about being assimilated by society.

Meanwhile, as Hoshino Satoru was searching for Fujinuma Satoru, the teacher on the podium, Yashiro, would occasionally look at this student with strange eyes.

After all, every teacher and student at this school has heard rumors about him to some extent.

One first-grader, unable to tolerate the behavior of some sixth-graders, cornered them in the bathroom and gave them a good scolding.

Perhaps to avoid affecting his parents, he didn't go too far that time, only hanging them up with ropes and tying them to the ceiling.

However, because being defeated by a child was so embarrassing, they felt ashamed and resentful, so they later gathered a bunch of friends of the same age to settle the score.

And the result was predictable: they were all defeated. After all, how could ordinary people possibly fight against such monsters?

Then, because the matter became so big, the school and parents were alarmed.

However, since Hoshino Gogawa was just a child at the time, and those who attacked him were five years older than him, it was the older students who were expelled in the end.

As a result, Hoshino Gokawa became a celebrity at the school.

As for how the news reports were suppressed, that was thanks to another pink-haired friend he knew.

Kusuo Saiki! Also known as Saiki-shin!

Of course, he didn't help for free, but Hoshino Gokawa didn't have any money at the time, so he told the other party about the function of the germanium ring in advance.

Regardless of the process, the result is at least pleasing.

The trouble caused by Hoshino Gokawa was suppressed, and Saiki Kusuo obtained a tool that could block out other people's thoughts, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

"found it!"

In just three minutes, Hoshino Gokawa identified the guy who might be Fujinuma Satoru.

The reason he was referring to was that he saw a black-haired boy and a blond boy skipping class and talking to each other at the corner of the stairs leading to and from Class 5-A.

"Kenya, Hinatsuki will be murdered!"

"!!!"

"I witnessed her being abused with my own eyes, and I must prevent this tragedy from happening again!"

……

"It seems I wasn't wrong..."

Hoshino Satoru, having absorbed all their words, slightly raised his head to look at the teacher on the podium.

Although he could get rid of him without anyone noticing, Hoshino Gokawa ultimately decided it was better to let the police handle it, since it's best to avoid murder if possible.

Because after killing someone, you'll realize how simple and fragile human life is, and your attitude towards things will change completely.

So let's just gather the evidence and hand it over to the police, let them handle it.

Chapter Four Help

get out of class dismissal time-----------------------

"Xianye, who is that?! Why are all the classmates around him so afraid of him?"

After being punished by standing in the corridor and returning to the classroom, Fujinuma Satoru couldn't help but turn around and ask his "Watson" a question when he saw Hoshino Satoru passing by their classroom window.

"Him... he's the one who supposedly beat up over a hundred upperclassmen in his first year, nicknamed 'The Tyrant'!" Having roughly guessed what kind of person this friend was, Kobayashi Ken explained Hoshino Gokawa's background to him.

"Really?!" Fujinuma Satoru could hardly believe it when he learned about the opponent's record.

"It's fake...it should be."

"What is it..." Fujinuma Satoru, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hadn't said anything when Kobayashi Ken spoke up again.

"There may not be hundreds, but there should be at least several dozen. After all, I witnessed part of the scene at the time."

"That's pretty outrageous! Come to think of it, I don't remember anyone this fierce back in elementary school!" Looking out the corridor window, Fujinuma Satoru subconsciously muttered to himself.

at the same time……

"Kusuo... are you free today?" Hoshino Gokawa, who had been waiting at a certain intersection for a long time, suddenly called out to the pink-haired boy next to him.

"Tell me... what trouble have you gotten into that you need me to cover up..." Saiki Kusuo seemed to have gotten used to him suddenly contacting him.

"No, I didn't cause any trouble this time."

"Then what are you waiting for me here for?!" Saiki Kusuo seemed quite surprised that he hadn't come to find him to cover up something.

"I need your help to find some evidence."

"evidence?"

"Evidence that proves a person is the murderer."

School dismissal time----------------------------

"Hiromi, Kenji, you and Hinazuki go to the children's center first. I have something to do and may be late."

"Ok!"

Tread...tread...

Fujinuma Satoru then broke away from the main group and headed towards his pre-arranged destination.

Little did he know that his every move was being observed by someone.

"Let's go, Kusuo, I've found the abandoned bus."

After turning around, Hoshino Gokawa called out to Saiki Kusuo, and the two disappeared into a secluded corner.

……

"This is it."

As he spoke, Hoshino Gokawa took two steps forward, opened the somewhat old-looking box next to him, and then took out a backpack from it.

"Boom...boom..."

The contents fell to the ground after a casual shake.

Rain boots, flashlights, gloves, ropes, and spray that can cause unconsciousness.

If it were just a single item, there wouldn't be a problem, but if you collect the whole set, any normal person would think there's something wrong with the person who prepared it.

"Kusuo...try using your superpower."

"understood……"

As he spoke, Kusuo Saiki took off his transparent gloves, squatted down, and gently touched the backpack that had been thrown on the ground.

"brush!"

The next moment, a multitude of images appeared in Kusuo Saiki's mind.

a long time-------------------------

“You’re right… all these things were prepared by that Yashiro Manabu.” After confirming that the tools used in the crime were prepared by Yashiro Manabu, Kusuo Saiki also lost all respect for that teacher.

"But these things alone aren't enough to get him into the police station, since there aren't any of his fingerprints on them."

"So what do you plan to do?" Having already heard that this wasn't the teacher's first murder, Saiki Kusuo turned to look at him curiously.

"Hmm... Kusuo, do you have a superpower that allows you to sense the location of items related to a person?" After thinking for a while, Hoshino Satoru slowly looked up and asked him.

“No…” Kusuo Saiki shook his head slightly.

"Then, Nanxiong, could you change your concept of equivalent exchange, limit your exchange to just one person, and then change the exchange standard to assess value based on whether or not one cares?"

"Hmm... I can give it a try." This time, Kusuo Saiki didn't shake his head, but simply placed his hand lightly on the murder weapon on the ground.
