A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Looking at the requirements on the document, Kusuo Saiki was completely dumbfounded. He was being asked to bring a female companion, specifically a classmate?!

What were you thinking, you test creator?!

Kusuo Saiki was truly speechless at this request, since he had never interacted with any other women since the start of the semester, except for handing in assignments. He had spent most of his time talking to Kazuma Sato, who was considered a friend.

Therefore, it would be very difficult for you to ask him to bring a female classmate over now, and bringing her over would probably make him the focus of everyone's attention.

Therefore, Kusuo Saiki didn't think he could invite anyone, and as a result, he had to give up on the task. In other words, he lost. Of course, this didn't matter to Kusuo Saiki, since he wasn't there to win first place anyway.

Otherwise, things wouldn't be like they are now, where they just use X-ray vision to see the requirements and then pick the simplest one and that's it.

After Kusuo Saiki, it's time for the second and third year students to compete, and the process is basically the same as for the first year.

Of course, there is a break in the middle; otherwise, would we let the parents, guests, and students go hungry?

However, during this period, Nishizawa Momoka did quite a show of herself, or more precisely, she demonstrated the financial strength of the Nishizawa Group.

Unfortunately, Hinata Fuyuki is currently a blockhead, or rather, a love idiot, so no matter how good Nishizawa Momoka is to him, he doesn't realize that she actually has feelings for him.

However, just because he didn't realize it didn't mean his mother didn't. In fact, he quite liked this young lady, Hinata Aki, but the most important thing was to consider Hinata Fuyuki's wishes, so Hinata Aki didn't point it out.

Besides, it's more interesting this way!

Naïve young boys and girls pursue their own love, much like in a light novel.

As for those who succeeded and gained fame, they were secretly having a party on the rooftop, stuffing themselves with all sorts of delicious food and drinks.

"Heh heh! Cheers to our successful operation!"

"Cheers!" x3

Four small hands of different colors tapped the cups together, making a very crisp sound.

Chapter 182 Danger

Then came Sunday morning after the sports meet.

While Natsuki Subaru does understand his father, that doesn't mean he should give up the opportunity to gain supernatural powers. After all, every boy likes those cool moves that can be shouted out.

However, what Natsuki Subaru didn't expect was that he encountered a big problem as soon as he left home: how to get to the address he had.

"Hmm... this should be a school, right?"

Natsuki Subaru looked at the simple gate above and the house-like structure outside. After thinking about it carefully, he figured it must be a school. In other words, he had to get to the school first to find his way to the next step.

So, after a short while, Natsuki Subaru arrived at the school. He then followed the instructions, walking straight to the right, then turning left, then continuing straight, then turning right...

Then, as Natsuki Subaru turned into the mountains, he realized that he seemed to be lost.

"Where...where should we go next?!"

Natsuki Subaru looked up at the dense forest in front of him, and then looked down at the thatched hut at the end of the map, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Because once he got here, he really didn't know where to go next. After all, the roads in the mountains are different from those in the city, with all sorts of paths. But Natsuki Subaru was unwilling to turn back now, so even though he felt there was danger in the mountains, he still gritted his teeth and kept going.

He simply didn't know that the destination on the map was the mountain next to him, not the one in front of him with its eerie atmosphere.

slap... slap...

Then, not long after Subaru Natsuki went in, the entrance where he had been standing was inexplicably blocked by some trees, as if they had always been there. From the perspective of the mountain as a whole, it was somewhat similar to a human closing their mouth completely when eating.

At the same time, at Koyuki Higashitani's house -------------------

"What are you looking at, Your Highness Xiaoxue..."

Dororo, who was quietly drinking tea nearby, turned around curiously and asked her a question.

"I'm waiting to see when that junior student will arrive."

"Junior student?"

Dororo, unaware that Higashiya Koyuki had promised to teach someone ninjutsu, tilted her head in confusion.

"A few days ago, a junior saw me demonstrating ninjutsu and wanted to learn from me, which I agreed to."

But it's almost noon and he still hasn't arrived, so I'm wondering if my junior has taken the wrong route.

It's clear that Xiaoxue is quite worried about Natsuki Subaru, whom she only met once and who wants to learn ninjutsu.

"Is that so... In that case, let me go and take a look."

"Um... thank you for your help, Dororo."

Xiaoxue did not refuse.

So Dororo swiftly jumped away and disappeared into the forest.

Then let's turn our attention back to Subaru Natsuki...

"Something feels off to me."

After walking two or three hundred meters, Natsuki Subaru seemed to notice something was wrong with his surroundings, so he subconsciously looked up and scanned the area.

result……

"Didn't I just come here?"

Looking at a bare tree with no leaves next to him, Natsuki Subaru finally realized after a long time that this wasn't the first time he had encountered this tree; in other words, he had been going in circles from the very beginning.

"Could this be... an illusion?!"

Under normal circumstances, Subaru Natsuki wouldn't think this way, but since he was going to visit a genuine ninja, he subconsciously associated it with the possibility that his senior had set up a genjutsu barrier at home.

The more Natsuki Subaru thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he decided to rely on his own abilities to get through it. He felt that this illusion barrier might be a test that the ninja senior had used to test him, so he had to find a way to get through it and show his excellence to her.

So...

"Hmm, I remember that the genjutsu in Naruto works by deceiving the five senses to make the person being attacked feel that everything is real, which means... I need to close my eyes first."

It has to be said that Subaru Natsuki has a very strong imagination, but in a sense, it is precisely because of this strong imagination that he was able to escape from the current rather magical crisis.

After all, no normal person would think of this layer, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to come up with a solution immediately.

Of course, this method is only suitable for those who are not very skilled in illusion. If it were someone more advanced, they would probably deceive not only your five senses but also your mind.

So Natsuki Subaru did indeed successfully escape this fantasy after walking blindly for a while with his eyes closed.

Simply stepping out of his fantasy doesn't mean he's out of danger.

because---------------------------

"Gudu..."

Looking at the cliff in front of him, which he was about to step off, Natsuki Subaru broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed hard, his mouth dry.

"Am I mistaken?"

Natsuki Subaru originally thought that this was a genjutsu barrier set up by the ninja senior as a test for him, but now it seems that it is not. After all, he doesn't think that senior would put a deadly test on him.

In other words, he might have really gotten the destination wrong. But now, it would probably be ten or even nine times more difficult for Natsuki Subaru to get down the mountain.

because……

"Children of humanity, children of humanity!"

Strange murmurs suddenly came from behind Natsuki Subaru, and these murmurs sounded somewhat excited.

Unaware of what it was, Subaru Natsuki instinctively turned to look.

result……

"!!!!!!"

Although he couldn't see clearly what was in the forest, judging from its shape, Subaru Natsuki felt that it couldn't possibly be human. But if it wasn't human, then what could it be?

For the first time, Subaru Natsuki felt fear because of the unknown, but this fear did not last long before turning into terror, because he saw an unspeakable monster emerge from the rustling leaves of the forest.

It was about three meters tall and had no head, only an eye growing from the rope and two split mouths on the left and right sides.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that something is being chewed in the vertical mouth on the left, and judging from the part that hasn't been swallowed yet, it should be a humanoid creature, because what's exposed is none other than a hand, except that the hand is green and has sharp claws.

That's why they're described as humanoids rather than humans.

Chapter 183 Escape

Thump... Thump...

When someone sees a creature that is taller and stronger than themselves and doesn't look human walking towards them, almost anyone would be afraid, let alone Natsuki Subaru. So he subconsciously started to back away.

But the problem is that there's a cliff behind him. Where can he retreat to? If he jumps, he might be smashed into a pile of mud, but if he doesn't jump, he might be eaten!

It can be said that Subaru Natsuki currently only has two choices: one is to jump off the cliff and choose a quick death, and the other is to be caught and eaten by the other party, and most likely alive.

"What do we do! What should we do?!"

Chapter 184 Meeting

"Haa...haa...escape! Did you escape?!"

Seeing that there was no sound coming from behind him for a long time, Natsuki Subaru was finally able to lean his arm against the tree and rest for a while. As for why he didn't just sit down on the ground?

That's because he was afraid that once he sat down, he wouldn't want to stand up again. That's why Natsuki Subaru used this method to rest temporarily, so that he could make a quick escape if there was any disturbance.

"Speaking of which, where is this?"

After resting for a while and confirming that there was still no movement behind him, Natsuki Subaru dared to focus his attention on the scene in front of him.

There's nothing particularly special about the surrounding area.

Chapter 185 The Dollhouse

Meanwhile, at Hoshino Satoru's house...

"Madam, your package is here!"

A deliveryman in uniform is checking the specific goods with a woman.

"Okay! Thank you for your help..."

After checking that the signature sheet in her hand was indeed her husband's name, Hoshino Sakura signed it casually. After all, it was just a simple package delivery, why make such a fuss? At worst, she could just return it if she found any problems later.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

When the woman thanked him, the deliveryman simply nodded and took the signed slip before leaving to deliver packages to someone else.

Shortly after the other person left, Hoshino Sakurako returned to the living room with the large box. She even felt a bit heavy while carrying it and didn't know what her husband had bought.

Driven by this curiosity, Hoshino Sakurako took out a pair of scissors and cut it open. When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This is a dollhouse..."

Having a general idea of ​​what it was, Hoshino Sakura fiddled with it for a bit and broke it into two vertical halves. She could tell that the interior of the miniature house was quite intricate, and she guessed that it must have cost a lot of money to buy.

Besides the house, she also saw three dolls that were probably there before: a couple and a boy who was shrunk to the same size as her middle school age. They were placed on a round table in the living room, as if they were about to have dinner together.

"really interesting……"

Hoshino Sakurako, who felt that the little figures inside looked a lot like her own family, smiled slightly. Then, after glancing at the clock on the wall, which was almost four o'clock, she began to prepare her dinner for the evening.

Little did she know that when she looked away, the positions of the little figures had miraculously changed. The little figures that were on the dining table inexplicably ended up at the stairwell and went about their own business.

The woman was mopping the floor, the man was reading the newspaper, and the teenager was playing computer games in his room—nothing seemed particularly unusual.

Until evening---------------------------

"Mom! I'm coming back..."

As soon as he entered the room, Hoshino Gokawa hadn't even finished speaking when his expression suddenly turned serious, because he sensed something different had appeared in the room.

"You're back, Wuchuan."

Since this greeting had become a habit, even before she finished speaking, Hoshino Sakurako mentally filled in the rest of the sentence and added her own welcome.

"Um……"

Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly and then turned his attention to a dollhouse on the living room table.

"Mom, where did this come from?"

While fiddling with it, Hoshino Gokawa also asked his mother about the origin of the item.
