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

"I don't know. But it tastes somewhat similar... It's nothing."

Kerry felt that the taste was somewhat similar to the seafood he had eaten first, the one that had given them immortality—the orphan of that ancient god.

The two found an anomaly, but they couldn't be sure if it was related to Yuki or what the situation was. Nevertheless, they immediately called for a team mobilization.

[Kerry: How's it going over there? We've detected something unusual here.]

[Sato Kazuma: Are you in a hurry?]

[Kerry: No rush, you guys come to Kasai Park first]

If things get urgent, the two of them would probably find a place to crawl into a sewer and commit suicide.

Half an hour later, the four of them gathered together.

Kerry and Xiangzi explained their discovery to the two men.

"At that aquarium?"

Kazuma stroked his chin somewhat awkwardly. It might not be an aquarium, it could be…

Kerry pointed to the ocean over there.

After all, the staff member said that the box was connected to the surrounding sea area.

Kazuma, the strategist, was now in a bit of a predicament.

"Then let's wait here until nightfall. If it really doesn't work out, we'll spend the night over there."

Let's not waste any time in between; let's take a walk in this park.

Kazuma pointed to the Edogawa Grand Hotel over there.

Kerry and the others nodded, and everyone turned and scattered into the park, carrying their equipment.

However, no one noticed that the Moon Forest Special Agent was watching them from among the tourists.

Just now, Nagasaki Motoyo's mother received a phone call. She suddenly had a business deal to discuss, gave her some money, and left apologetically.

At any other time, Nagasaki Motoyo would definitely say she's fine, but inside she would feel a sense of emptiness.

But now, she only felt that the chains that bound her had finally been broken!

Now that her mother wasn't around, she didn't have to worry about anything.

She followed Kirito and Kazuma, and sure enough, she saw Sho again. Suze noticed that they seemed to be looking for something.

It doesn't matter to her. No matter what Xiao Xiang is looking for, she can just wait until Xiao Xiang is alone and then ask him what happened!

So she slipped into the crowd and headed in the direction Xiangzi had left.

Xiangzi planned to go back to the aquarium to remember the exact location of the fish tank from before, while Keli checked with her on the wooden bridge outside the aquarium.

However, both of them have overlooked one issue: if it is a glass window leading to the ocean, it should not be black in such shallow water, even without the lights on.

Chapter 169 The Giant of Tokyo Bay.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the group went against the flow to hide in a sparsely populated area.

The glass doors of the aquarium were gradually closed, and the sky gradually darkened until, apart from the hotel, the entire park fell into tranquility.

Most tourists who had spent the day sightseeing went to eat and drink in downtown Tokyo, while the park also welcomed local residents walking their dogs. The entire seaside park became completely quiet when it was time for those who didn't stay up late to rest.

On the coast, next to the public piano that was crowded with people during the day, only a blue-haired girl gently opened the piano lid.

The four of them had been searching here for a day, covering two-thirds of the park except for some areas that tourists couldn't enter, but they hadn't found anything except for crowds of people.

This experience will likely disappoint many travelers, but that's to be expected, just like the famous Thousand Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, which are a magnificent sight that seems to stand alone in the world, whether in anime or in pictures.

But once you actually go, you'll find that it's basically like looking at a thousand heads under a thousand torii gates, and if it's summer, you'll also have to smell the stench of sweat.

Having gained nothing, the group chose to wait there until dawn.

Xiangzi glanced at the piano, and many memories flooded her mind. She had been practicing the piano since she was a child, but the last time she played it was several months ago, before the band disbanded.

Unable to resist the urge, she danced on the piano keys with her black silk gloves.

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

"Debussy - The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" rang out from her fingertips. If none of this had happened, perhaps next spring she would have played this piece in the music room of the Haneoka Concert Band, and a pink-haired girl would have applauded her after hearing it and asked her if she wanted to join the band.

I don't know if she was really thinking about a certain flaxen-haired girl when she played the instrument, but if she had night vision, she would probably have discovered that the flaxen-haired girl was actually nearby.

Xiangzi's thoughts drifted back to a few months ago with the sound of the piano, to that shout on the overpass. His waist swayed slightly with the playing, like a sea lily swaying in the sea.

Want to be human.

I guess I've become human now? I've grown up.

However... it's like how the Little Mermaid traded her voice for human legs.

From carefree days, I've grown into someone who suffers daily heartache.

From being content with what was around them, they became insatiably greedy.

From ignorance, I've grown into someone full of apprehension.

From peace of mind, it turned into exhaustion.

From happiness, I grew into pain.

I can't tell whether I grew from a doll whose behavior was far removed from the standards of "humanity" into a human being.

Or perhaps all their unique characteristics and edges have been worn down, transforming them from carefree humans living in Eden into puppets controlled by desires living on Earth.

Listening to Toyokawa Shoko's melodious piano music, not far away, Kerry, who was sitting on the handrail to prevent people from falling into the sea and looking at the sea, also glanced at the sea.

Tokyo Bay is not a clean sea area. Regardless of how many people have carelessly dumped their bodies on the seabed, the frequent passage of merchant ships and tourist boats has caused severe water pollution. Although you can still see the clear sea from the surface, if you go deep into the seabed, you can probably see tons of garbage. However, since a storm has just swept through the area, the sea surface is not very clean yet, with various plastic products, foam, and small boat debris floating on it that have not been cleaned up in a day.

Kerry looked at the deep sea, which was now pitch black due to the lack of light, and recalled the feeling during the day, like a fisherman waiting for a fish to bite, hoping that he wouldn't come back empty-handed tonight.

"Boom!"

After Xiangzi finished playing his song, he walked to the shore and leaned against the railing not far from Kerry, gazing at Tokyo Bay.

From here, you can see the hilltop of Totsuki Academy, and also the Disney Ferris wheel, which is still lit up, perhaps creating a special confession scene for some couple.

However, some people are already getting impatient.

Nagasaki Motoyo hid far away in the shadows, her expression very conflicted.

All day long, she hadn't found an opportunity for Xiangzi to be alone.

Aside from the brief moment she entered the aquarium, she came out before she could even queue up to buy a ticket. Her Xiao Xiang was like a guard, constantly protecting the boy with the bass bag, never straying more than 5 meters from him.

Nagasaki Susuke once suspected that Xiao Xiang had given up the band because he was in a relationship.

However, it didn't seem like it. The two didn't talk much, and there were no intimate actions. But Xiangzi stayed near the boy, constantly observing the surroundings, just like a guard.

She had just seen two other boys carrying instrument bags heading towards the hotel, probably to prepare a place for them to spend the night.

She was getting impatient. She didn't really want outsiders to see her conversation with Xiao Xiang, but if things continued like this, it would end when the two of them went to the hotel.

All I can do is...

Nagasaki Motoyo steeled her resolve and stepped out of the shadows.

However, just as she reached halfway there, the two people there suddenly adopted strange postures as if facing a formidable enemy.

Coastside.

The two people on the beach were stunned.

They saw it; it was perhaps the very thing that had given them such a powerful feeling during the day.

Beneath the dark sea surface, a deeper and larger black shadow emerged from the water.

It stirred up a surge of waves around the area.

The ripples alone were more than ten meters long, as if a killer whale had come to breathe on the shore of this shallow sea.

However, the part protruding above the sea was not the body of a whale, but rather "thorns" that gleamed metallically in the moonlight.

Calling them thorns doesn't quite fit; each individual thorn is about the thickness of a javelin. However, when they appear in clusters, they resemble the quills of a hedgehog or porcupine.

The thing flashed by in an instant, seemingly extending something and looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

They asked the two what they were still doing there and why they hadn't left.

But that was all; then those things disappeared back into the sea.

But just by seeing that thing, both of them felt some information and images enter their minds, but Xiangzi only had a vague understanding of those contents and could not comprehend their specific expressions.

"Wow, this is truly a feast!"

Kerry did understand some of the information, but it was all just random sounds, like a yawn. You couldn't deduce anything from that yawn that he was trying to express besides being sleepy.

However, this also confirmed for Kerry that, according to some terms, the other party should definitely be called a god.

Kerry turned to look at Xiangzi.

"Do you know if there's anywhere nearby that sells diving equipment? We'd like to buy some and have Hezhen and the other two go down and check it out later."

Chapter 170 This is really bad.

While the two were discussing their plan, footsteps were heard in the deserted park.

The two turned around and saw a girl with long flaxen hair wearing a white patterned casual outfit and small leather shoes standing under a street lamp not far away.

Nagasaki Motoyo? When did she arrive?

Kerry looked at the other person's big, watery blue eyes reflecting the light under the streetlights, and it seemed as if he could hear a canned laugh.

It made him feel incredibly frustrated.

Xiangzi's expression was not so good. She was stunned for a moment, then her face fell instantly, her eyebrows rose, and her golden eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.

"Xiao Xiang..."

The other person called out softly, their sweet, cloying voice making one dizzy.
