A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"..."

Kusuo Saiki, who had been watching all this, stood quietly to the side without saying anything. He only spoke when the other person calmed down and looked at him.

"Are you feeling better now...?"

"I'm... feeling better."

After recovering from his stifling state, Sato Kazuma was perhaps a little dazed because he was too surprised as to why the other person was there and why they had saved him.

"So... can you tell me why we've come to this point?"

What Kusuo Saiki was asking at that moment was none other than why Kazuma Sato had jumped into the river to commit suicide.

"me……"

Upon hearing this, Kazuma Sato's expression instantly darkened, because he thought of his childhood friend who had chosen to date a senior from the sports club.

"I don't know, I just felt a sudden rush of heat and my head started beating."

This feeling is commonly known as being swept away by excitement, but Kusuo Saiki has never experienced this feeling, so he can't quite understand it.

"By the way, why are you here?!"

Now that Kusuo Saiki has finished asking, it's Kazuma Sato's turn to ask. After all, he's very curious as to why the other party came here, since normally the other party should have taken the bullet train very early.

"I came with you."

Kusuo Saiki did not hide anything from him and told the truth directly.

"Oh, I see. That makes sense! I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Qi Mu."

When he heard what he said, Kazuma Sato felt that it made sense; otherwise, how could the other party have happened to see him here and rescued him?

But now he realizes how strong Saiki Kusuo is, that he was able to pull him out of the water despite his seemingly gentle and quiet demeanor.

Whether it's because of Sato Kazuma's personality or because he has hovered between life and death, he now tends to pay attention to small details.

"It doesn't matter……"

As for his apology, Kusuo Saiki said it was just a small favor and there was no need to take it to heart.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Gokawa, who was watching the two from the bridge, did not intend to continue watching, because Saiki Kusuo had done all he could. The rest was up to Sato Kazuma to see if he could get out of his own heartache.

Then, Hoshino Gokawa casually throttled the speed of the sports car that had just arrived, in order to prevent the driver from hitting other people. After waiting for the driver to cross the bridge, he damaged the engine.

Chapter 178 Sports Meet

Following the incident with Kazuma Sato, Hoshino Gokawa and the others quickly arrived at Saturday, the day of the school's sports day. The reason for setting the time on a weekend was to allow parents to participate more easily, since most parents are only available on weekends.

Some students didn't have any objections to this; only those who were playful would regret losing a day of rest time where they could do their own things.

However, compared to previous sports meets, this year's event is likely to exceed the expectations of most spectators.

If the reason is as described, it occurred the night before the sports meet.

"Boom...boom..."

Hoshino Gokawa, who was lying in bed reading a comic book for the first time in a long time, suddenly heard someone knocking on his window. He subconsciously turned his head to the right and saw Keroro’s very familiar green figure.

"Is there something you need...?"

Not knowing why the other person came to see him so late at night, Hoshino Gokawa waved his hand and moved the other person in, while also reinforcing the soundproofing of the room to prevent his parents from hearing.

Please, I beg you!

Keroro, who was instantly teleported in by Hoshino Gokawa, knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed to the ground upon seeing him, as if he had something very important to ask of him.

"Explain clearly what exactly happened first?"

Hoshino Gokawa, who was also seeing someone kneel and bow to him for the first time, was indeed a little confused, wondering what the other party wanted from him that required such a grand gesture.

"Well... here's the thing."

Keroro, having raised his head again, began to tell Hoshino Gokawa what he wanted to ask of him.

To put it simply, Hinata Natsumi wants to participate in a three-legged race with her mother, but Hinata Aki is too busy with work and may not be able to arrive on time. Therefore, Keroro hopes that if Hinata Aki does not arrive on time tomorrow, they will use some unconventional methods to delay the start of the competition.

As for why they came to Hoshino Gogawa for advice, it's because what they might do tomorrow has a high probability of affecting the other party, and if the other party gets angry about it, the consequences could be unimaginable. So, to avoid such a thing from happening, Keroro went to Hoshino Gogawa in advance to seek his opinion and see if he could agree. If he could agree, that would be best; if he couldn't, they would have to think of another way.

"Um……"

After hearing that everything the other party said was for the sake of others, Hoshino Gokawa agreed to his request after a brief moment of thought, but on the condition that they handle the aftermath properly.

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Next, let's switch the timeline back to the present-------------------------

"Hasn't Mom arrived yet?"

"Reporting, Sergeant! Not yet..."

"In that case, let's activate Plan A!"

"Yes!"

Keroro, who had been secretly observing the situation on the playground from the rooftop, signaled to Tamama that they could begin after receiving the results from her.

Then, the instant he finished speaking, Tamama reached out and pressed a button on the computer in front of her.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Gokawa, who was watching from the stands, used his spatial perception to see a huge rotating treadmill beneath the playground.

"Well, I guess something unexpected is going to happen soon."

Even without seeing what happens next, Hoshino Gokawa already foresaw what would happen next, because whether they went backward or forward, the contestants would reach the finish line very quickly.

After all, ordinary people can't withstand the high rotation speed of a treadmill.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that, unfortunately, Subaru Natsuki and Fuyuki Hinata are the participants in today's first running race.

"Hmph...Hmph...You'll all just have to wait and see how I perform."

Natsuki Subaru, who had no idea what would happen next, strode confidently to the competition venue after giving his parents a cheerful thumbs-up.

"Go for it! Yeah!"

Natsuki's parents, watching him walk towards the competition venue, happily waved and cheered him on.

"On your marks! Ready! Action!"

After all the participants arrived, the referee announced the start of the competition, but he never expected how ridiculous things would become.

"Hmph! Watch me charge forward... Hey! Hey!"

Natsuki Subaru, who rushed forward the instant the referee finished speaking, hadn't run more than a few steps when he sensed something was wrong, because he realized that the surrounding scenery was changing at a speed he couldn't keep up with.

"brush!"

Within seconds, Subaru Natsuki broke the world record, and not only him, but everyone who was with him broke the record.

Of course, that's not the main point right now. The real question is how they should stop their pace after breaking the record.

In a sense, the game had already spiraled out of control at this point.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

After circling the playground countless times, Natsuki Subaru's only thought at this moment was to find a trash can to vomit, but there was a condition that he had to stop first.

"Sergeant, you didn't slow down the sports meet, you actually sped it up!"

Tamama, who was randomly pressing buttons on the computer, suddenly started to panic.

"In that case, let's switch to Plan B!"

Keroro remained relatively calm upon hearing his subordinate's words, and unhurriedly told the other person to move on to the next one.

"Yes!"

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

"Hmm... what exactly is going on?"

Natsuki Subaru, whose stomach was churning like a stormy sea, was lying on the picnic blanket where his parents were, looking utterly miserable, trying his best to suppress the urge to vomit.

"Son, are you alright...?"

Seeing Subaru's appearance, Kenichi Natsuki instinctively felt concerned for him, as Subaru's expression was truly unpleasant.

As for why they didn't have many questions about what just happened...

That's because Keroro and his team had already prepared the "Cognitive Anomaly Tamperer," which makes anything that you normally find very strange seem perfectly normal.

Even if someone were to perform a striptease in front of them, they wouldn't react much, which is actually quite scary in a way. Fortunately, this is a normal film set, otherwise what happened next would probably be related to sex.

Chapter 179 Heart-to-Heart Talk

After Hinata Fuyuki and Natsuki Subaru, it was Hoshino Gokawa's turn to play, and this was his first time participating in the sports meet, so it was only natural!

We need to release the water...

The reason is that Hoshino Gokawa can't experience the joy of victory in this kind of competition, so it's better to give the opportunity to other ordinary students who need to show themselves.

Of course, even if Hoshino's parents were to give up on him, they would still cheer him on, since no reason is needed, right?

"On your marks! Ready! Action!"

Then, Hoshino Gokawa started running at the teacher's command. However, unlike the other students who were giving it their all, Hoshino Gokawa maintained a leisurely pace while running, which seemed a bit unusual compared to the other students.

However, since people tend to focus on who is number one, most people don't pay much attention to this matter, and even if someone does, they won't think too much about it, except for those who already know the truth about Hoshino Gokawa.

When the competition ended, he unsurprisingly came in third place, a result that was neither good nor bad.

After the match ended, Hoshino Gokawa sat down with his parents to watch other people's matches. During this time, Saiki Kusuo also took to the field, but his result was basically similar to Hoshino Gokawa's – neither of them wanted to show off or attract attention.

"Um?!"

Shortly after Saiki Kusuo left the field, Hoshino Gokawa saw another plan by Keroro to hinder the normal development of the sports meet.

That is……

We are very sorry, dear parents and guests! Due to unforeseen weather conditions, the sports meet must be temporarily suspended. The resumption date has not yet been determined. We sincerely apologize!

Due to the unexpected rain, parents inevitably changed their focus from watching the sports meet to visiting the school, or more specifically, to tour their own child's class and see how their child was doing at school.

This also included Hoshino Gokawa's parents. However, after learning about their son's superhuman strength and his adult-like thinking, they were actually quite reassured that he wouldn't cause any trouble at school, because Hoshino Gokawa basically followed his own pace step by step.

But how to say it...

Although they are much less troublesome than other children, this also means they haven't really experienced what it's like to be parents, because they understand the big principles without needing to be taught.

In a sense, this was quite frustrating for Hoshino's father, as he didn't even understand some of the profound truths as well as his own son.

Since the main topic of conversation has turned into a parent visit, it's natural for the parents to start chatting, saying things like, "That's my son, how is he?" or "That's my daughter, how is she?"

In such situations, comparisons are almost inevitable, since parents everywhere hope their children will achieve great things rather than end up as failures.

Of course, this does not include Natsuki Subaru's parents and Hoshino Gokawa's parents. The former's parents only hope that Natsuki Subaru will do his best, while the latter's parents feel that their child has his own ideas and his own path to follow. They can only offer some advice for reference, and the final choice is in Hoshino Gokawa's hands.

"I am Ang's father! Thanks to you for taking care of my son at school!"

While his parents were wandering around, Hoshino Gokawa suddenly saw Natsuki Kenichi walking over to him, rubbing Natsuki Subaru's head and thanking him.

"No, it's nothing."

Hoshino Gokawa waved his hand, indicating that he hadn't done anything at all.

"Hmph... You know, when I first heard that Subaru was going to film those videos online, I was actually quite surprised because it was the first time Subaru had made his own decision."

Unlike before, when he would work desperately hard to make me proud, only to end up hurting himself because he couldn't meet the standards.

Kenichi Natsuki vigorously rubbed Subaru Natsuki's head, his eyes filled with an indescribable fatherly love.

"Eh!"

However, Natsuki Subaru was stunned after hearing this explanation, and then looked at his father with a particularly surprised expression.

"You brat, do you think I didn't notice? If I couldn't even notice this, how could I be your father? I just hadn't found the opportunity to say it before."

After all, I was afraid of hurting your pride if I said it directly, and now that you've found something you want to do, that couldn't be better.

As he spoke, Kenichi Natsuki rubbed the other person's head hard again, but after this time he put it down.

Is that so?

Natsuki Subaru, who was also learning his father's true thoughts for the first time, looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
