Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

He's actually a good person, he just likes to tell riddles.

As the cicadas molted and climbed to the treetops, the group left Hinamizawa, a place that had left a deep impression on them. They rested for a day in a nearby city before returning to their home base, Tokyo.

As a result, as soon as I got back, I saw an old acquaintance, right next to my house.

Rika, with her purple hair, and Satoko were standing with their hands on their hips, directing the delivery workers.

"Huh? Big brother, big sister? The government said that everyone on this street seems to have been arrested for participating in a cult, so the confiscated properties were allocated to us."

"Great, now we have grain reserves near our house."

Chapter 163 Xiangzi's Father: Oh no, I'm tired!

It was already June when I returned to Tokyo.

Everyone was taking a rare break.

Surprisingly, the village chief came looking for them himself when they didn't come looking for him, and even gave them the reward.

"This is protection money from that guy. He's begging you to be lenient during his term starting next year."

The group then realized that the other party was using political maneuvering to secure his rise to power next year, and therefore hoped that they could eliminate this time bomb before he took office.

The group didn't take the "protection fee" claim seriously.

The group was particularly interested in the promised automatic weapons, but all they got were M16s and bullets, which left them somewhat disappointed. However, since they had left their old weapons in Hinamizawa after running out of ammo, getting new ones was still a good thing.

"I'll come to you again if I need anything next time."

After giving the reward, the kappa waved and left.

Xiangzi looked at the bank card with great joy, chatted casually with a few people, and then went out.

It seems like she's going to buy furniture for her dad.

When Xiangzi left, the three of them were lying on the sofa like salted fish, watching TV, which was broadcasting the news of the current period.

The main focus is still on the Hinamizawa incident, which shocked the international community.

Also, there's the incident that Kerry and Kazuma witnessed at the bar when Kerry had just been released from the mental hospital.

The two saw that experts predicted that the area from Fukushima to Mito might be hit by a typhoon this summer, but they didn't expect it to actually happen.

The event is expected to occur within the next few days, and judging from the route, it will likely pass through Chiba, potentially affecting even Tokyo.

However, apart from the somewhat strange initial landing location, there's nothing particularly novel about it. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, typhoons—it's considered strange for Japan not to eat at least two of these in a year. They're practically a must-eat list in Japan.

"Hey! I just remembered! Today is my birthday! My birthday!"

While watching the news, Kazuma Sato suddenly fell seriously ill, pounding his fists on the sofa.

Today is June 6th, which happens to be Kazuma's birthday.

However, because of the battles he had been fighting all along, Kazuma himself had forgotten about it. He probably only remembered it when he saw the date on the news channel.

"Oh!"

Kerry nodded.

"Happy birthday."

Kirito clapped his hands.

Then everyone acted as if they hadn't heard anything and continued lying on the sofa watching TV.

"Give me some response! Like going out and buying me a gift or something!"

Kazuma pouted, just like a sulking girlfriend.

Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.

"Aren't we sharing our money? Go buy whatever you want, just remember to keep it under 5000 yen."

Kerry waved his hand dismissively and gave a very perfunctory reply.

"There's a cake shop in the Akabane business area over there. I've had some before and they're pretty good. You can go and buy one."

Kirito didn't give a perfunctory answer, but his words weren't much better than Kerry's.

It's not that Kirito is that kind of person, it's just that everyone is really tired. They were burned by white phosphorus bombs a few days ago and have no motivation at all.

"You two! Just you wait until your birthdays!"

Kazuma gritted his teeth.

They had asked each other about their birthdays before. Kerry's birthday is September 9th, while Kirito's birthday is in October.

Xiangzi and the others didn't ask, but Kerry did remember that Xiangzi's birthday and Valentine's Day were on the same day at the beginning of the year.

Seeing that her threats were ineffective, He Zhen angrily walked to the door, seemingly intending to slam it shut and leave.

However, he was reluctant to part with the new door he had installed after the last street riot, so he left a crack in the door, gave the two of them a resentful look, and then slung his lead singer bag over his shoulder and went out.

"Shimura Danzo, you'll regret this!"

"boom!"

He was quite resentful that he hadn't used his half-leaf sword throughout the entire Hinamizawa incident, but now he's started carrying it with him everywhere.

However, Kerry wasn't much better off; ever since that incident, he carried that sword that could be used to cancel fire all the way back.

Kazuma had just closed the door.

"Hehe! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

He could hear their cheerful laughter through the door.

"Damn it!"

Kazuma clenched his fists, his face turning red, and then... then he obediently went to buy groceries. He planned to cook a good meal himself, order a cake, and invite the two kids who lived across the street to come over and have a meal together. After all, it was his birthday, and it was important that he was happy.

Not long after, the rent in the cheap rental house next door became much cheaper after the Akabane cult incident. Only a small number of residents moved away because of that incident. After all, no matter how dangerous the street was, it couldn't compare to the temptation of cheap rent.

After Xiangzi left, Xiangzi's father kept giving up. He was determined that as long as Xiangzi went back to inherit the family business and live the life of a rich lady, he would live a good life. However, his previous despondency was not entirely fake. The failure of that business really dealt him a heavy blow, so he never found a job.

"Click!"

The sound of a lock being opened came from the doorway.

He instinctively turned around warily, only to see his daughter.

"Xiang...Xiangzi?"

He stared blankly at Toyokawa Shoko, who had changed into decent clothes, completely bewildered as to why his daughter had returned.

"Xiangzi, don't come in. You finally got home. If your grandfather finds out..."

Xiangzi was stunned when he heard his father's words.

Only then did she realize that her father had actually thought she had abandoned him and gone back to her maternal grandfather.

Xiangzi felt a pang of heartache, a mix of emotions: a sense of regret that his father had let him go so easily back then, and a touch of unease at how his father didn't trust him at all.

However, all of this disappeared after Xiangzi saw the wine bottle on the ground.

"Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't drink anymore?"

Xiangzi raised the tips of his blue eyebrows at a 45° angle, and his face instantly darkened.

"This……"

Xiangzi's father was initially a little guilty, but he was determined to get his daughter to cut ties with him, so he prepared to put on a show of recklessness.

"I couldn't help it..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw his daughter take out a card.

"There's 3 million yen in here, enough for you to use for a year. If you use it all up before then, there won't be any left! The password is my birthday. Also! I didn't go back to the Toyokawa family. The people in that house across the street have moved out, and I've rented it. I'll be living there from now on."

Xiangzi slapped the card in front of his father, then pointed to the house across the street outside the window.

She felt it was inconvenient for her to live with Kerry and the others, but she was also afraid that living with her father would lead to retaliation against him. Therefore, she did not plan to see her father often, and she even considered renting a house for him in other parts of Tokyo once she was sure that he could survive on his own.

After all, Xiao Xiang is no longer a poor girl; she has received 25 billion from her earnings and is now a wealthy woman.

"Ugh?"

Xiangzi's father was stunned. 3...3 million? And it seemed his daughter had even more? But...where would Xiangzi get so much money?

"Okay, I have something to do. If I'm in Tokyo during the day, I'll probably spend more time next door."

If you can't find me, or if you need money urgently, you can go next door to a man named Shimura Danzo; he can contact me.

Also, don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm very busy with work, and please don't come to see me.

This time, Xiangzi pointed to the small white three-story building next door, indicating that he could go there if he wanted to find someone.

Then he turned and left.

Xiangzi's father was stunned. After a while, his expression changed. So much money! His daughter hadn't gone back to Fengchuan's house, but she spent most of her time next door during the day. He remembered that next door seemed to be the house of the boys who had come to rescue him last time!

Yada! No way!

The depraved adult immediately reached out to try and stop his daughter, and the daughter even casually mentioned the name of a strange man! But all he got was a closed door.

Ono Rei! Shimura Danzo!

Chapter 164 Typhoon.

In the evening, everyone gathered together for a meal.

Besides, the conscientious cat Rika and Shoko expressed their guilt for coming to dinner without knowing it was Kazuma's birthday.

Everyone else was eating like crazy.

"Wow! Oh wow! You, who look like a useless otaku, actually cook pretty well!"

After becoming familiar with the group, Hojo Satoko, who had a pair of fangs, gradually started to act disrespectfully, like some little brat.
