A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"..."

Seeing Sato Kazuma, who had just arrived at the last minute and sat back down in his seat looking dejected, Saiki Kusuo didn't know how to comfort this guy who was supposed to be a new friend of his.

"How are you."

Looking at Kazuma Sato sitting to his right, Kusuo Saiki subconsciously asked a question in a dull voice.

"I'm okay."

When Sato Kazuma heard his friend's question on the left, he forced back his bitterness and gave him a reasonably good smile in response, but anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that something was wrong with that smile.

Whether or not to point it out, or how to point it out without hurting the other person's feelings, depends on the emotional intelligence of the person involved.

It's quite obvious that Kusuo Saiki isn't exactly high in emotional intelligence, but he's not low either; he's somewhere in between.

"Really……"

After saying those two words, Saiki Kusuo didn't react at all. But a little while later, when the teacher on stage wasn't looking, he slipped her a 1,000 yen coffee jelly.

Don't underestimate the fact that it's only 1,000 yen. For Saiki Kusuo, whose allowance is limited, this is an extravagance beyond measure. More importantly, this coffee jelly was not copied from the ring given to him by Hoshino Satoru, but was bought with his own money. You can imagine how "valuable" this was for Sato Kazuma.

"Eating something sweet might make you feel better."

"Um...thank you."

He would probably refuse if it were after class, but if it was during class, Kazuma Sato would have no choice but to accept it, because if he didn't get the coffee jelly, the teacher on stage would probably say something when he turned around.

at the same time------------------------------

Hoshino Gokawa, who appeared to be listening to the lecture but was actually daydreaming, suddenly turned his head to look at the window on the left.

Although nothing seemed unusual to the average person, he could see a green, frog-like figure waving at him, holding a test tube that looked like the antidote from Resident Evil.

"Lord Hoshino Sagawa! We've figured out the antidote!"

Although no sound was made, Hoshino Gokawa could roughly tell what the other person was saying just by looking at the shape of their mouth.

"How to use it..."

Without anyone in the classroom knowing, Hoshino Gokawa isolated himself from them and asked Keroro how to use the thing. However, Keroro didn't even realize that the thing he had just been holding was now in Hoshino Gokawa's hands.

"It's very simple! You just need to pour the liquid inside onto the space parasite! When you do, it will revert to its original state and restore everything it has devoured!"

Keroro originally didn't want to do this himself and wanted to delegate it to someone else, but because he was the captain and the one who could best represent Keroro's team, this was the only thing that could be done by him.

"Is that so... I understand. Is there anything else?"

Having figured out how to use this thing, Hoshino Gokawa asked again.

"Yes, in addition to bringing you the antidote, I also brought bento boxes for Lady Fuyuki and Lady Natsumi, because they forgot to bring them after they made them this morning."

"Oh, okay? Then let me deliver it for you as a thank you for bringing the antidote."

Before Hoshino Gokawa could make any move, the bag on Keroro's back was instantly emptied.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Keroro was very grateful to feel that the bag was empty, because it meant he could go back and assemble his newly bought Gundam sooner.

"Um……"

Hoshino Gokawa nodded in response to his thanks but did not reply further.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was time for get out of class to end, which was also lunchtime. Since Hoshino Gokawa had already told Natsuki Subaru that the latter wouldn't insist on going to the cafeteria with him, he was usually alone most of the time, though sometimes he was with Saiki Kusuo.

However, since he still had other things to do, he finished his lunch quickly and went up to the rooftop.

Chapter 174 Rescue

"Well... let me give it a try."

After saying that, Hoshino Gokawa, who had come to the rooftop, poured the liquid into a square on his left hand that was invisible to ordinary people. In order to avoid being disturbed while he was doing something, Hoshino Gokawa also specially isolated this space.

In other words, even if someone came up to the rooftop now, they would never run into Hoshino Gokawa, because the two are not even on the same level, so how could they possibly meet?

The moment Hoshino Gokawa dripped the green liquid from the bottle into the invisible box, he saw the writhing cosmic parasite inside suddenly freeze and everything changed.

Then, after this state continued for eight seconds...

"Brush! Brush!"

The cosmic parasite, which had seemed frozen in place, started moving again. Unlike before, this time it didn't wave its tentacles wildly, but instead began to contract and contract repeatedly.

The most important thing is that after it shrank, it left behind a large number of unknown life forms, which, judging from their appearance, were roughly monsters, while a few were probably the humans it had eaten.

However, after being restored, they were all a little confused, unsure of their current situation and where they were.

Because in their field of vision, they were enveloped in a transparent frame, and they could feel the warmth from the sunlight and even the breeze blowing in.

But apart from that, there was nothing else they could feel or see, because they didn't feel that they were being held in someone's hand at all.

In a sense, their current situation is quite like "a flower contains a world, a leaf contains a Bodhi tree," meaning they are being manipulated without realizing it.

As the person inside was gradually restored, Hoshino Gokawa crushed the space parasite the moment it returned to its original state. Before the "person" inside could react, he casually threw it back to the original scene of the incident, leaving the authorities to handle the aftermath.

After doing all this, Hoshino Gokawa turned around and entered the rooftop door behind him, slowly walking towards his classroom.

Tread...tread...

However, on his way down, Hoshino Gokawa happened to run into a boy wearing a white hat similar to Shotaro's.

"Humph……"

Upon seeing someone come down from the rooftop, the young man instinctively smiled and nodded at the newcomer.

Hoshino Satoru's response was similar; after all, he couldn't very well give someone a cold shoulder when they greeted him with a smile.

Shortly after Hoshino Gokawa left, the man couldn't help but speak softly.

"I never would have guessed that he was the one who took down Kururu's entire headquarters."

Having memorized everything, Saburo went to his usual spot to start a leisurely day of sunbathing. However, he was unaware that Hoshino Gokawa had overheard everything he had just said.

"..."

However, he didn't say anything about it, as long as he didn't provoke him or spread rumors.

Meanwhile-------------------------------

Japanese government departments are busy dealing with the sudden influx of people and non-humans. If the number were small, they could handle it easily, but given the current number of creatures being eaten and regurgitated by the space parasites, they estimate that even two or three days of work might not be enough to keep up.

But ignoring them won't work. These monsters and other non-human creatures that are spat out can easily turn into a spiritual disaster that is no less devastating than the destruction of a city.

Moreover, Tokyo is the closest city to them; just imagine what would happen if they rushed in there.

So no matter how much manpower and resources it takes, the Japanese government must solve the problem. Besides that, they need to find a way to get some useful information from these guys, such as what happened during the period after they were eaten, or what it felt like to be inside that thing, and so on. In short, a whole bunch of random information.

Unfortunately, Hoshino Gokawa, who had taken thorough precautions to maintain secrecy, left them no trace of himself. As a result, the Japanese authorities ultimately only obtained some useful but not particularly useful information.

"I always feel like I'm falling behind the times..."

Having experienced the last attack of the Azure Wind and now what appears to be an alien invasion, the staff of certain special departments couldn't help but complain to their colleagues.

"Who says it isn't?"

His companions around him agreed with his complaints, saying that such a major event should only happen once every few years in the past.

But now! They're rushing in one after another like they're at a market!

They couldn't even imagine what would come next; maybe it would be a monster that could eat a planet.

While they were complaining, some other departments were having a very heated meeting.

I won't go into too much detail, but the general idea seems to be the plan to establish a rapid crisis response management department to deal with the increasingly abnormal situation.

However, a newly established department like this will usually attract a lot of people who want to get in, because such departments often have considerable power and can sometimes even be above other departments. Therefore, in some cases, this becomes a place for politicians to compete for interests, basically trying to put their own people in there to increase their own influence.

"call……"

With the help of her secretary, Jinguji Ayame emerged from the wheelchair and shook her head helplessly. If it were just about creating a new department, she would wholeheartedly support it, as it would greatly reduce the pressure on her own department.

However, if the formation of the new department requires drawing a large number of people from her side, to be honest, Jinguji Ayame is quite unwilling, since she knows that her current employees are all people she has painstakingly recruited from the demon-slaying families.

And now you're just going to transfer him away like that? What kind of nonsense is this?! Trying to reap the benefits!

Unfortunately, even though she was unwilling, Jinguji Ayame had no choice but to accept it because most people agreed. In fact, this sudden loss of a large number of people might even make the Supernatural Countermeasures Office much smaller. In a sense, this new department was actually taking away her power.

Perhaps some people have long disliked her, the room leader who is in a wheelchair, and might take this opportunity to trip her up.

"After we get back, we'll invite all the exorcists we've been working with to come over."

"Yes, sir!"

Chapter 175 Ninja

"The Pleiades star".

Looking at the YouTube account name that Natsuki Subaru gave himself, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but feel the urge to make a sarcastic comment. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was the popularity he currently had and the number of videos he had released.

With 50,000 subscribers, 600,000 views, and 70,000 likes, Natsuki Subaru currently only has two of these stats. In a sense, this is already quite impressive, especially for a newcomer who has no resources and is just starting out.

The video content showcased Subaru Natsuki's superb skills during class, such as sculpting clay into Gundam and Transformers.

During this time, Hoshino Gokawa also browsed through the comments and saw that most of them praised the students of today for being really amazing. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that he found a comment that felt very familiar.

The great sergeant: "Sparashi, but you're still a little bit inferior to me."

"Is that the green frog...?"

Looking at this comment, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but think to himself, because among all the "people" he knew, only he would speak in such a tone.

Before turning it off, he subscribed and liked the video as a small gesture of support for Subaru Natsuki. Then he casually browsed other videos and started playing games to pass the time.

"Dark Dragon of Destruction, what a cringeworthy name."

Hoshino Gokawa, who plays one of the most popular FPS games on the market, couldn't help but make a comment after seeing the name of his teammate in this match.

Of course, this is actually quite common online. Since you don't know who I am, I can choose any name I want, and I don't have to worry about embarrassing myself.

Despite the somewhat cheesy name, the skill level is actually quite good, at least above average among players.

"Your skills are amazing, can we play together..."

Hoshino Gokawa, who was planning to withdraw and join a new battle, suddenly received this message from the other party.

"Can……"

Hoshino Gokawa's response was that it was no problem; since it was just playing games, it didn't matter who he played with, and besides, there were plenty of people he played with anyway.

Meanwhile, in a villa in Tokyo, a somewhat gloomy-looking young man was constantly typing on the mouse and keyboard, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him.

"Da da……"

However, that's not the point. The point is that the message displayed on his screen was exactly the same as the message Hoshino Gokawa had just received.

“You, don’t just stay in your room playing games all day. It’s bad for your health. You need to exercise sometimes.”

Just as he was engrossed in his game, his room door was suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman, dressed impeccably but with a somewhat helpless expression, walked in and spoke to him.

"I know, Mom..."

Although the boy named Yu said this, judging from his unwillingness to stop, he probably intended to ignore it.

Seeing her second son in this state, the beautiful woman didn't say much more. After all, the reason her second son was like this was because they had focused their attention on raising their eldest son. Since the eldest son was going to inherit their family business in the future, he needed to be capable enough. As a result, they neglected their second son, causing him to develop more and more into a NEET, or shut-in.

So when she stepped out of the room again, the room returned to its desolate atmosphere, with only the constant clicking of the keyboard remaining.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

“I watched your video and it’s not bad, and it seems to be gaining more and more popularity.”

"Is that so... I'm glad you like it."

Natsuki Subaru was happy to hear Hoshino Gokawa's praise early in the morning, but he was also a little embarrassed. He unconsciously scratched his head, showing that he was still somewhat shy.

"But speaking of which, did you learn your editing skills on your own?"

"No, my dad did it."

Upon suddenly hearing the other party ask about this, Natsuki Subaru told the truth without thinking.

"Really……"

After learning that the editing was done by the other party's father, Hoshino Gokawa didn't say much more, since it might be a bit embarrassing to say it out loud, because the large number of views for Natsuki Subaru's videos was actually largely due to Natsuki Kenichi's editing and music selection.
