A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

The problem now is that I didn't scare the other party; instead, Hoshino Gokawa discovered me beforehand! And that's a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Just because Fujiwara Chika doesn't say it doesn't mean the other party won't.

So Hoshino Gokawa spoke up while she was still thinking of a reason:

"Cousin Qianhua was just trying to scare me, wasn't she?"

This simple sentence made Fujiwara Chika freeze on the spot like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Then ten seconds later--------------------------

"How! How could that be! Cousin, do you think I'm that kind of person?!" Fujiwara Chika frantically waved her arms, trying to convince him with her sincere eyes.

“Hmm…I think you are that kind of person.” Hoshino Gokawa nodded affirmatively at the other person.

"Pfft!" If this were an animation, you would see that Fujiwara Chika has a red arrow stuck in her head.

"So, Chika-chan, besides scaring me, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Hoshino Gokawa, who was leaning on the railing, asked her again after watching her funny antics for a while.

"Um... well... actually, I saw you looked a bit lonely, so I thought I'd come and say hello." Seeing that the other party had already decided that she was there to scare him, Fujiwara Chika had no choice but to reveal her true purpose.

"So, I was lonely like that..." Hoshino Gokawa seemed to only just realize this when he heard this, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.

"Hmm..." Fujiwara Chika nodded slightly when she saw that the other party had reacted.

Then-------------------------

They were at a loss for words. Fujiwara Chika was a little reserved because her previous prank had failed, while Hoshino Gokawa was more direct; he really couldn't find anything to talk about with her.

Are you suggesting I ask where they live or where they study?

Please! I'm not the kind of person who likes to ask a lot of questions!

However, considering that it might be a bit cold for the other person to stay down there, it was Hoshino Gokawa who broke the awkward atmosphere in the end.

"Do you want to come in...?"

"Is...is it okay?!" I don't know what Fujiwara Chika was thinking at that moment, that she would ask such a stupid question.

"Of course you can! This pavilion isn't mine! How can I decide who can come in and who can't..." Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question, because it was just too funny.

"Hmm...that seems to be true." Fujiwara Chika, who had been resting a finger on her chin, seemed to realize just how strange her question had been. So she subconsciously made a fist with her right hand and gently placed it in the palm of her left hand.

Then, under Hoshino Gokawa's watchful gaze, the other person entered the small pavilion from the steps on the right and sat down opposite him.

Seeing that the other person had sat down, Hoshino Gokawa lightly leaped to the spot where Fujiwara Chika had just been.

"!!!!" Before Fujiwara Chika, who subconsciously thought her cousin disliked her, could say anything, Hoshino Gokawa suddenly jumped back in.

However, unlike before, the other person now had a comic book in their hand.

"What's wrong?" He subconsciously asked Fujiwara Chika, noticing that her expression was a little off.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Night Watch

"How did you do that?!" Fujiwara Chika, having just shaken off the thought that the other person disliked her, subconsciously focused her attention on Hoshino Gokawa's leap.

Although the pavilion wasn't very tall, only a little over three meters, it was something Fujiwara Chika had never seen before, to be able to jump in without any external support. At least, none of the students her age that she knew could do that.

"Just like that... a light jump." Hoshino Gokawa, who was rereading the comic book, casually replied to the other party after hearing this.

"..." Fujiwara Chika, sensing the perfunctory tone in his words, seemed a little depressed. She was clearly his cousin, so why did he seem so lacking in authority?

But just then, a person came across the lawn outside the pavilion.

"Chika! It's time to go back..."

The person who arrived was none other than Fujiwara Chika's father, who was also Hoshino Gokawa's uncle, Fujiwara Daichi.

"Okay! Dad!" Upon hearing her father call her name, Fujiwara Chika instinctively responded and then ran to his side.

Upon seeing his daughter approaching, Fujiwara Dai then turned his head towards Hoshino Satoru.

"Wu Chuan, your mother seems to be looking for you. You'd better go over there now."

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there." After learning that his mother was looking for him, Hoshino Gokawa nodded, then casually put the comic book back into his clothes and quickly walked to the place where they had eaten earlier.

After a while ----------------------------------

"Gokawa, let Dad take you back to the hotel first." Hoshino Sakurako, who had changed into mourning clothes, instinctively knelt down to straighten the wrinkles in her son's clothes when she saw him return.

"Mom...and what about you?" Looking at the clothes his mother was wearing, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but wonder what his mother was going to do with them. Could it be another custom he wasn't familiar with during this national funeral?

"Mom has to keep watch." Hoshino Sakurako, gently tidying her son's clothes with her slender, white hands, whispered these four words to him.

"I understand..." Hoshino Gokawa, upon learning that it was a night watch, said nothing more, since this custom had existed in his previous life as well.

He had even heard that a night watchman at a funeral he attended in his past life had encountered a corpse that had come back to life.

"Go ahead." After nodding to her son, Hoshino Sakurako stood up again and gestured to her husband.

Then Hoshino Gokawa got into the car with his father and drove to the hotel where they had stayed at noon.

Hotel entrance-------------------------------

"Dad, go keep Mom company. Don't worry about me." Hoshino Gokawa said to his father as he closed the car door, his feet firmly planted on the ground again.

"Well... I'll go keep your mom company then. If you need anything tonight, you can use the phone by the bed to contact the hotel staff." Hoshino Natsuhiko leaned back in the passenger seat and gave her a few words of advice before leaving.

"Okay..." Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, then said goodbye to his father in the car and walked towards his room in the hotel.

During this time, hotel staff came up to inquire, and after seeing the room key in his hand, they understood what was going on, so they voluntarily led him to Hoshino Satoru's hotel room.

"Well... let me think about how to kill time." Hoshino Satoru, who was lying on the bed again and casually turned on the TV in front of him, switched the perspective of one of his eyes to his mother's as he talked to himself.

Although keeping watch only requires sitting on the side until dawn, the energy required to stay up all night is incomparable to that during the day, so Hoshino Goku keeps a close eye on the situation there.

If his own mother couldn't handle it, he would also lend her some life force to help her through it.

In other words, Hoshino Gokawa doesn't plan to sleep today. In fact, strictly speaking, he doesn't need to sleep at all to maintain his high energy level.

If that's the case, why is Hoshino Gokawa sleeping?!

That's because of the habits from my past life as a human being; after all, humans are creatures that need to sleep.

10 PM ---------------------------------------

"As expected of Tokyo, there's so much nonsense here." Hoshino Satoru, while eating fruit that had been delivered from elsewhere, unconsciously turned his head toward the window to his right, which was covered by a curtain.

At that moment, in his perception, three streets away in the depths of an alley, a drunkard was trying to grope a woman.

Of course, if it were just that, Hoshino Gokawa wouldn't have said such a thing. If you were standing where they were right now and looked up, you would see a black, multi-eyed monster that looked like a frog, with its long tongue tied around the waist of the woman below.

Then it seems like they're planning to manipulate the other person into doing something, like seduction or enticement.

If nothing unexpected happens, this woman will likely be taken advantage of by the drunkard in front of her, just like in a dream.

However, as I mentioned, this is the case barring any unforeseen circumstances...

And now... the unexpected has happened so miraculously!

"Whoosh!" The multi-eyed monster vanished without any warning, as if it had never existed.

As for the woman and the drunk man, Hoshino Gokawa deliberately separated them, one going to the alley entrance and the other to the trash can.

"Huh??? What just happened?!" As an ordinary human woman, she had no idea what had just happened. The only memory she could recall was that she had vaguely walked into the alley, and then she knew nothing more.

When she came to her senses, she found herself back at the entrance of the alley.

"Smack...smack..." After dealing with the matter, Hoshino Gokawa casually popped a strawberry into his mouth, then turned his left eye's attention back to the television in front of him, while his right eye kept moving towards his mother.

As for how he discovered the situation over there...

That's because Hoshino Gokawa unleashed his spatial perception; in other words, the city of Tokyo appeared in his mind like a real-time 3D model.

He knew almost everything that everyone in the city was doing.

Chapter 47 Computer

"Is it the same as before...?"

A cool-looking woman, smoking a cigarette, stood waiting outside an abandoned construction site. When she saw someone come out, she asked the person as if she wanted to confirm something.

"Hmm... there's still no trace of demonic energy left, as if it never existed." A somewhat gloomy-looking high school boy who came out nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Really... Our maintenance personnel just sent a message saying that the testing equipment has no malfunctions." The brisk woman, who took the cigarette from her lips and flicked the butt, told him the results from her side.

"In other words, there really is a force we don't know about that smoothed out the target just as it was about to explode."

"..." The gloomy high school student, who was trying to figure out what the other person meant by those words, couldn't help but turn around and look at the very quiet abandoned building behind him.

Even though there was nothing there, he felt an inexplicable pressure coming at him, as if some great catastrophe was about to occur.

But in reality...

He's just overthinking it.

After all, Hoshino Gokawa wouldn't be so idle as to bother others.

He'd rather watch anime or play games than bother others.

"Hmm... I don't think there's anything else to see. Let's go play some games." Since we're staying in a big hotel, the room is naturally equipped with a computer.

"I never imagined that the first time I would ever touch a computer would be in a hotel." The moment Hoshino Gokawa's hands touched the keyboard, a familiar yet strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him.

It's familiar because this thing was my tool for entertainment and making a living in my past life, but unfamiliar because I haven't touched it for almost eleven years.

Then, Hoshino Gokawa spent a minute familiarizing himself with the various operations of the mouse and keyboard before starting his all-night journey.

Since he doesn't know when he'll be able to use the computer again, Hoshino Gokawa doesn't plan to play games that require a lot of time.

Therefore, free shooting games and MOBA games became his preferred choices.

That very night, Hoshino Gokawa allowed those night owls who stayed up all night to witness the birth of a "new god".

Click... Click...

If Hoshino Gokawa, who was typing at lightning speed, hadn't been worried about having to pay for the keyboard if he broke it, he probably would have increased his typing speed even further.

Even if Hoshino Gokawa restricted his hand speed, he could still outplay almost 100% of online gamers.

How do you say that?

In martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon!

No matter how cool your weapon skin is, I'll still blow your head off with one shot.

He single-handedly unleashed the firepower of an entire division, to the point that the opposing side thought he was cheating.

------------ Divider Line ------------

Hoshino Gokawa, who saw the dawn from his mother's perspective, lightly pushed off the computer desk with both feet, moving about half a meter away, then got up from the ergonomic chair and stretched.

"Mmm... scooping up fries is so satisfying."

Hoshino Gokawa, muttering game-specific slang that seemed to come from a past life, stretched his limbs and then decided to go downstairs for the hotel's buffet breakfast.

The price is alright, around three thousand yen, which is about 150 yen if you convert it to your own red banknotes from your past life.

This would probably be too much for an average family, but luckily he wasn't from an average family. After all, his father was the deputy editor-in-chief of JUMP. Although he didn't know the exact amount of his income, he was probably considered to be in the upper-middle class.

Breakfast area on the first floor of the hotel

Baji... Baji...

"Ah! This feeling is so much more comfortable. Although last night's meal was quite high-class, I really didn't like the way everyone had their own seat!" Hoshino Gokawa, while eating sushi, meat buns, fried chicken and other foods, subconsciously complained about last night's banquet in his mind.

Seriously! It's so uncomfortable!

Even if this is something that is perfectly normal in the eyes of one's own people.

Baji... Baji...

Originally, Hoshino Gokawa wanted to eat a little longer, but when he saw his mother and father talking through his right eye...

He knew his pleasant breakfast time was over because the other person would be coming to pick him up soon.

Fortunately, Hoshino Gokawa stopped eating, otherwise everyone around him would probably have turned their attention to him.

After all, his plates were the tallest among everyone present.

After finishing breakfast, Hoshino Gokawa waited for his father at the door.

"Gokawa, why are you up so early today?! Have you had breakfast yet?!" Hoshino Natsuhiko seemed quite surprised to see his son waiting for him at the door so early in the morning.
