A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

That's because Erina Nakiri wasn't sure if this was the first time that person had replicated her dish, or if the other person had been replicating it for a long time.

But regardless of the reason, she was very curious about what kind of person would choose to replicate their own dishes.

Ten minutes later------------------------------

"..." When Erina Nakiri saw the front door of the kitchen being inexplicably pushed open in the surveillance footage, a chill ran down her spine.

With normal values, she initially thought that someone was spying on her cooking replicas outside the restaurant, but now it seems that she was probably overthinking it.

There's no one here! There's clearly a ghost!

Looking at the mold floating up on its own in the surveillance footage, and the suddenly added bag of flour, Erina Nakiri's face turned pale.

Because she wasn't sure what ingredients the cake she had just eaten was made of. Even though it looked the same brand of flour as the one she used, how could you be sure that the contents were normal?

There were also the three bowls that floated up, and the cake that was swallowed whole. It's safe to say that four "ghosts" entered that kitchen after I left.

"Hisako! Where are you! I'm so scared!!!"

Chapter Seventy-Five Investigation

Meanwhile, at the foot of Mount Fuji------------------------------

Police officers dressed in special forces uniforms and carrying fully automatic rifles quickly extended their left hands and shouted at reporters and ordinary citizens as they approached.

"Unauthorized personnel, please leave! Entry is prohibited here!"

"Um... Officer, can I ask you something?"

While ordinary citizens were intimidated by the other party's aggressive voice, reporters were not. They would not let go of any big news story they could report, even if it meant risking their lives.

"No comment (This thing is censored too?)"

The police officers stationed there were not buying into the brown-haired female reporter's obsequious attitude. Besides, even if they let her go, she would be stopped at the next blockade.

"That's it..."

Looking at the unwavering gaze of the other party, and the second, third, and possibly even more layers of blockade that were gradually being erected behind them, the female reporter felt that unless she had government credentials, she would absolutely not be able to get in.

But what was that saying again...?

I'm taking a gamble; if I can get this news out there, I might just become an overnight sensation!

I might even be able to jump to the position of host!

slap... slap...

Unable to get in from the front, the female reporter decided to walk around and look for an opening that would allow her to get in.

However, the female reporter was unaware that her thoughts had been seen through by others, and these others not only had no intention of reporting her, but also planned to use her to attract the attention of the officials.

At the same time, at the summit of Mount Fuji, several men who were clearly not ordinary people were gathered together exchanging ideas.

“Hmm… these are indeed fragments of the Killing Stone.” After examining a red fragment about the size of a thumb from a black box held by a police officer, the middle-aged man nodded to the others in confirmation.

"Really!" The others were a little incredulous upon hearing the news, because there were just too many of them. If all the fragments were pieced together, they could probably form a sphere about the size of a fist.

You should know that the Killing Stones they usually see are about the size of a hundred-coin! And the damage that even a single Killing Stone can cause is terrifying, let alone one this big!

But what is the result!

Not only did no one die in this incident, but the environmental damage was also limited to a very small area, which can almost be described as a miracle.

"Hmm... I just can't imagine what kind of power could defeat a host who has absorbed so much of the power of the Killing Stone!" The middle-aged man looked at the red fragment in his hand with a rare serious expression.

“Regarding this matter… I think this video can tell you the answer.” A man who appeared to be in charge of the operation was slowly walking towards them, and he was holding a tablet that looked expensive.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, the other demon hunters instinctively turned their attention to the tablet in his hand.

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

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

The scene above shows Izayoi Sakamaki fighting the giant lava monster during the day, and the scene is truly terrifying.

Even without witnessing it firsthand, they could sense from the video just how incredibly powerful each punch the opponent threw was. Didn't you see the series of sonic booms around him?

Imagine what it would be like if you were hit by that punch.

Hmm... it'll probably turn into a messy pile of minced meat.

Although demon hunters are indeed physically stronger than ordinary people, and even possess many unique magical abilities.

But to reach that level...

Even if you brought Abe no Seimei himself, he might not be able to do it!

They even had reason to suspect that even the legendary ghost kings, known for their strength, might not be able to surpass their opponent in terms of power.

If you absolutely have to use one word to describe him, then you can only say he's a superman.

This Superman is not the one who transcends ordinary people, but the Superman from the America comics!

Besides that, what attracted them most in the video was the other person's age. If they were not mistaken, the other person should be a blond boy between eleven and twelve years old, but it is possible that the other person's real age and height do not match.

As for finding the other person based on video clips, honestly, it's very difficult...

Because there are just too many people in this country, not to mention finding a blond boy who is roughly between eleven and twelve years old.

In real life, it would probably be easy to find, since people with unusual hair colors are very rare, but it's different in this world!

It's as if the Creator played a joke on them; you can see every possible hair color on other people.

So, trying to find someone based on their unique hair color is just wishful thinking.

As for other methods, there are some, such as suddenly launching nationwide blood sample DNA testing, but this would require a considerable amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources from the authorities.

It's not certain that they'll agree, and besides, are you sure the other party doesn't have any means to avoid this kind of detection?

But whatever the outcome, they'll have to submit the report eventually so that those higher up can decide what to do.

"If I knew who it was, I would definitely introduce my family to them!"

Some of the demon hunters who watched the video couldn't help but feel regretful that they couldn't bring their daughters home with such a wonderful husband.

And it was at this moment that ------------------------------------

"Ok!"

One of the demon hunters, realizing that something had damaged the barrier, immediately looked up at a certain spot at the foot of the mountain to his right.

"Someone else has broken in!"

"!!! Someone come here! Go check over there!"

The leader, who reacted quickly, waved his hand and signaled a team of special forces personnel next to him to go over there and take a look.

"Understood, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the special operations team immediately saluted him, and then led his team members in the direction indicated by the exorcist at the foot of the mountain.

Chapter Seventy-Six Disappearance

A short while later, one of the special operations team members returned to report.

"Sir! We've found a female reporter there!"

"A reporter? How did the reporter get in here?!"

Mr. Nikai was stunned when he heard that the other party had found a female reporter there, because it didn't make sense!

Given the current level of lockdown on Mount Fuji, coupled with the exorcists' protective barrier, it's practically impossible for ordinary people to get in!

So what's the story with this reporter?

"Bring her here! And keep a close eye on her every move! If anything unusual happens, I give you permission to open fire!"

After much deliberation, Mr. Nikai, feeling that something was amiss, decided to have the special forces personnel bring the female reporter over for questioning to find out what was going on.

Then five minutes later-----------------------------

"Hey! Where are you taking me?! Be careful, or I'll complain about you when I get out!"

The female reporter, with both her hands held between her legs, was clearly very nervous, as she was unsure of what would happen after being brought here.

"Excuse me, miss, could you lend me your camera?"

With a kind smile, Mr. Nikai slowly approached the other person and gently extended his right hand forward.

"...Um...what will happen if I don't hand it in?"

Although she already knew what her fate would be, the female reporter seemed to still want to struggle and see if there was any hope.

"If that's the case, then Miss Reporter, we're afraid we'll have to ask you to come to the station."

"……Give,"

Unable to break free, the female reporter had no choice but to hand over her portable camera to the other party.

"Click... click..."

Mr. Nikai, who took the portable camera from the other party, fiddled with it for a bit, took out the memory card, and then, after confirming that the portable camera was indeed working properly, handed it back to the other party.

Simply returning her doesn't mean we can let her go. After all, the matter of breaking through the blockade hasn't been settled yet, and besides, the damage to the barrier might also be related to her.

In other words, the other party is still a criminal suspect.

Meanwhile, in the distant, burnt-out forest, several insects, unlike any other, were perched and watching.

"Damn it! How could this fail?! No! I have to get those Killing Stones back!"

If it were just one Sesshōseki, he might not care so much, but so many Sesshōseki are a different story. Even the worst demon could be turned into a great demon by giving them to him.

Not to mention other more suitable people!

only……

It's not a good time to forcibly take it now, because some of the demon hunters inside are quite troublesome for him, and if he tries to take it by force, he might get caught instead.

Therefore, since they couldn't rob the site itself, they could only rob it on their way back with the Killing Stone.

Besides that, there was another thing he couldn't understand!

That is, they suddenly felt that they had been abandoned by the times. The Killing Stone used to be a very important thing, but why is it being destroyed so easily now!

That last time, the master of the restricted area was one thing! But why was he shattered into pieces this time?!

The mastermind behind this was quite baffled by this.

Of course, there is a good explanation for this situation in the game: the version has changed and the old items are no longer popular. In addition, the level cap has also been increased. Who would want a level 30 pink item in a level 100 version? It would be considered trash and would be considered a waste of inventory.

Then it was 8 PM.

"Hmm...it seems like there aren't any suspicious people?! Could I be mistaken?" After observing the landscape of Mount Fuji from a god-like perspective for a while, Hoshino Satoru couldn't help but wonder if the mastermind behind this wasn't going to use the usual tactic of the culprit returning to the scene to investigate.

But just to be on the safe side, he watched it for a while longer, but the result was still the same.

After seeing the officials load the red fragments onto the vehicle and return them to the station, Hoshino Gokawa, after confirming that no one was actually trying to steal them, could only boredly close his view of the area.

Little did he know that shortly after he closed his eyes, something incredibly absurd happened in the countermeasures room.

"What did you say! The fragments of the Killing Stone that were brought back are all gone!" Upon hearing the news that her subordinate had just reported, Jinguji Ayame's expression suddenly became very serious.

"Yes, Chief! Just now, when we were about to do a final check before putting it into the safe room, we never expected that the safe box that was brought in was empty!" The custodian on the other side also became quite anxious at this moment, because if he were to be blamed for this, he might be in deep trouble.

Therefore, the custodian must explain to his superior that the responsibility does not lie with him.

"...I understand. I'll have someone else handle this." After saying that, Jinguji Ayame hung up the phone. If there were any outsiders present, they would have noticed just how troubled she looked.

The reason this incident didn't cause major social unrest was entirely because someone helped them resolve it quickly!

Otherwise, how could she be sitting so leisurely in the office!

But that's not the key point; the real issue is that the shards of the Killing Stone have been stolen! Do you know what that means?!

This means that yet another hidden Class A incident is waiting for them!

It could even be worse than that!

Even if that thing is broken, that doesn't mean it can't be put back together! After all, it wasn't completely crushed!

And how can you guarantee that the person who helped them resolve all this today won't show up again to help them then!
