A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"Um... I didn't mean to kill you. I just wanted to ask you something, for a fee..." As he spoke, Hoshino Gokawa casually pulled out a bag of potato chips from an empty space and waved it in front of the other person.

"What do you want to know, sir? I will tell you anything I know."

Although I didn't know what it was, I felt it must be a delicious one-eyed monster, and in the end I couldn't resist the temptation of the food and agreed to eat it.

"Alright...can you tell me what happened to the monster over there that was scared to death?"

"...Sir, you must be from somewhere else."

After a moment of stunned silence, the one-eyed little monster seemed to understand something and looked up at him, saying...

“Hmm…” Hoshino Gokawa did not deny it.

"My lord... there are almost no monsters in the vicinity who are unaware of that place. Because it is a forbidden zone!"

"Forbidden Zone?!" The moment those two words were uttered, Hoshino Gogawa instantly felt an overwhelming sense of coolness.

"Yes! A restricted area... and the story of this restricted area begins two years ago. That day..."

"Wait! You mean two years ago?!" Hoshino Gokawa suddenly had a very strong sense of déjà vu upon hearing that number.

“That’s right! It was two years ago!” The one-eyed little monster nodded affirmatively.

"That day, my friends and I were playing in a human city, and then..."

"No need to say anything, I know everything. Here! This is your reward!" After saying that, Hoshino Gokawa didn't wait for the other party to respond and teleported away in front of it.

"?????"

This inexplicable development left the one-eyed little monster bewildered for a while.

On the other side ----------------------------

“Kalirus…we’re the ones who scared that monster to death.” Hoshino Gokawa, sitting on a large rock by the river, couldn’t help but facepalm. No wonder he couldn’t sense energy fluctuations that were far beyond those of the monsters. It turned out that the little bit of aura he had revealed two years ago was still affecting them.

“Is that so…” Kalirus didn’t react much to this, perhaps because he didn’t care at all.

"Never mind... I'd better go home first today." As Hoshino Gokawa stood up, he looked up at the forest in the distance.

then……

Sa... Sa...

Amidst the rustling of leaves, a blond-haired boy, slightly shorter than Hoshino Satoru, rushed out from inside.

Following closely behind was a black monster that floated in the air, only its eyes and hands visible.

"Haa! Haa!" The boy who was running away was startled when he saw that there was someone in front of him who was about the same age as him.

"Oh no! There are people here!"

Not wanting to involve others in the matter of the monsters, the boy instinctively tried to run to the right, returning to the forest.

"brush!"

The scene around the boy suddenly changed, and when he came to his senses, he was surprised to find himself in the place where he had entered the forest earlier that day.

"Are you OK……"

Suddenly a voice appeared beside his ear.

"!!!"

Startled by the sound, the boy quickly turned around and was surprised to find that the person standing next to him was none other than the one who had been by the river just moments before.

"Hoshino Satoru is a psychic."

"Superpowers!"

The boy was quite surprised to hear those four words, after all, he had never thought that there were really superpowered people in the world, even if he could see monsters.

"And what about you... classmate?"

"I...I'm called Takashi Natsume, and I...I can see yokai." Coming to his senses, the boy named Takashi Natsume stammered out his name.

"I knew it! No wonder it looked so familiar!"

Upon learning the other person's name, Hoshino Gokawa confirmed that he had not mistaken him for someone else; the other person was indeed the protagonist of Natsume's Book of Friends, an incredibly kind and gentle man.

"Do you often get chased by those guys?"

"Um……"

Perhaps it was because the other person was as special as he was that Natsume Takashi couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

"Then why don't you resist?"

"Resist?" Takashi Natsume was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, resistance.” Hoshino Gokawa nodded to him.

"I have no power to resist." Takashi Natsume's voice was somewhat dejected.

“No! You do!” He was quite certain of this.

"????"

Takashi Natsume couldn't understand why the other person was so certain.

“I can sense energy fluctuations from you that are stronger than those of those monsters. Therefore, I believe you have the ability to resist, but you just don’t know how to use it.”

By comparing the energy emitted by the other party with that of the monsters he had encountered, Hoshino Gokawa determined that as long as the other party could master this power, he would no longer have to worry about being chased by monsters in the future.

“Then I…” Natsume Takashi hesitated, wondering whether he should ask the other party for help, since they had only just met.

“I can help you, and not just me, I also have a friend who can help you.” Hoshino Gokawa pursed his lips slightly, thinking about what he should do in the next few days.

Chapter Eleven Training

"So why did you call me here too?" Saiki Kusuo, standing to the right of Hoshino Gokawa, seemed a little annoyed.

“Anyway, you don’t have much to do at home except watch TV, so why don’t you come and help me out?” Hoshino Gogawa said, walking up to Natsume Takashi and patting him on the shoulder.

"...Then what should we do?"

Looking at the frail boy standing next to Hoshino Gokawa, Saiki Kusuo finally decided to stay and help them.

"It's very simple. After I guide the energy out of his body, you can use telekinesis to attack him. Just keep attacking him until he's dead. Don't worry about his injuries, I'll help heal them."

"You agreed?!" Upon learning that the other party had actually asked him to do this, Saiki Kusuo instinctively turned to the boy named Natsume Takashi and asked.

"Hmm..." Takashi Natsume nodded hesitantly.

"Alright... let's begin." Seeing that the parties involved had agreed, Saiki Kusuo didn't know what else to say, but in his heart he was thinking that he would go easy on them later.

"Now!" The moment the words fell, a pale blue energy invisible to ordinary people surged out from Natsume Takashi's body. If Hoshino Gogawa was not mistaken, this thing should be the spiritual power mentioned in the anime.

"Takashi, I only have one request for you today: control this energy for the rest of the time, and then cover your entire body with a thin film. If you can do that, you will have no problem protecting yourself when you face those monsters again."

"Okay! I understand!" Although he didn't know how to control these light blue things, he would find a way to do so so as not to disappoint the person who helped him.

"Then, Nanxiong, you can begin. Wherever he hasn't covered, that's where you should attack!"

"..." Kusuo Saiki nodded slightly.

The next moment--------------------

"Bang!" Natsume Takashi was sent flying by an inexplicable force.

"Ugh..." Feeling a sharp pain in his right arm, he instinctively covered it. As if drawn by Natsume Takashi's consciousness, some of the overflowing energy slowly drifted to his wound, and soon after, Natsume Takashi felt that the pain in his right arm was gone.

"Is your injury healed?... If it is, let's continue."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Natsume Takashi quickly stood up, only to be sent flying by Saiki Kusuo's second attack.

Having learned from his previous experience, he spent significantly less time this time, which was also related to the fact that Saiki Kusuo did not use excessive force.

"Bang!" Natsume Takashi, who had gotten up for the second time, was sent flying again, but got up again after his injuries were healed.

"Bang!" For the third time.

"Bang!" For the fourth time.

……

After repeating this action fifty times, Takashi Natsume finally managed to avoid being knocked away on the fifty-first attempt.

"Takashi, remember that feeling, and then spread it throughout your body," Hoshino Satoru hurriedly shouted as the energy finally liquefied.

"Yes!" Following the other party's instructions, Takashi Natsume was trying his best to cover his entire body with that energy.

"Nanxiong, interrupt him. In a real battle, the enemy won't give you that much time to set up your shield."

"Bang!" Natsume Takashi, who had just finished covering his hands, was blasted away again, and this time he flew farther than dozens of times before.

And that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this attack is continuous. Even if Natsume Takashi is knocked to the ground, Saiki Kusuo will not stop unless he can cover his entire body with that energy.

However, to achieve this, Takashi Natsume must be fully focused and not be affected by any factors, otherwise the shield that covers half of the shield will stop or even dissipate.

Three hours later -------------------------

"Bang... Bang..."

Various metallic clanging sounds emanated from Natsume Takashi's body, who was no longer being knocked away.

"Alright, that's enough for today." Hoshino Gogawa called out to stop the two of them when he saw that Natsume Takashi's energy shield had reached the point where it could withstand rifle bullets.

"Huh...huh..."

Hearing that today's training had finally ended, Takashi Natsume could no longer hold on due to the overwhelming fatigue that washed over him, and he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

"..."

As Saiki Kusuo watched him fall to the ground, he subconsciously turned to look at Hoshino Satoru, as if the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.

"Leave it to me." Hoshino Gokawa stood up and waved his hand, directly drawing a portion of the life force from a nearby tree and then pouring it into Natsume Takashi's body.

While not as outrageous as the Hero Clan representing life itself, merely drawing energy from those of lower life levels was a piece of cake for Hoshino Gokawa.

Then, not long after, Takashi Natsume, who was lying on the ground, woke up.

"By the way, Kusuo, could you help him fix his clothes? Otherwise, his foster family might gossip about him when he gets back." Hoshino Gokawa, noticing the other man's tattered clothes, suddenly turned to look at him, remembering something.

"...You have to give me twenty coffee jellies when I go back this time."

"No problem." Hoshino Gokawa agreed without hesitation upon hearing this.

"..." Seeing how readily he agreed, Saiki Kusuo felt like he was at a disadvantage.

A few minutes later----------------------------------

"Takashi, you can wait for me by the river for the next few days. Let's set the time for nine o'clock in the morning, is that alright?"

“No problem…” Natsume Takashi shook his head slightly.

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Hoshino Gokawa, who had said goodbye to the other party at the forest entrance, disappeared in a flash.

"See you tomorrow..." Natsume Takashi softly uttered these three words as he watched the figure disappear.

As for Kusuo Saiki, he went back ahead of them, since the other party had a TV program to watch.

Sa... Sa...

After a while, once they were sure the three guys had left, the monsters in the forest dared to reappear.

Are all human brats monsters?!

This was their only thought after witnessing the entire training process; after all, their destruction of the river was almost on par with those of the great monsters.

Of course, the scariest thing wasn't that, but that they later restored the entire riverbed.

Do you understand what this means?!

Creating something is always more difficult than destroying it!

What they didn't know was that what happened today was just the beginning, because even more outrageous scenes were yet to come.

Chapter Twelve Separation

The fifteenth day of the holiday ----------------------------

"Stop..."

"Hoo..." Natsume Takashi subconsciously exhaled and casually dispersed the bow and arrows he had condensed with his spiritual power.
