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

Xiangzi asked curiously.

"Because I knew beforehand, I knew there were some scumbags in her school, and her parents weren't good people either, that's all."

"Wait, weren't you in the hospital before? How did you find out?"

Kazuma has once again discovered a key point.

"A hospital? So Kerry is a medical student who studies patients?"

Kirito, on the other hand, found it quite novel.

For some reason, everyone tacitly agrees not to ask about each other's past, because they are all afraid that asking about the past will remind their companions of the daily life that can never be returned to, and the relatives and friends that they must not miss or think about in reality.

Perhaps, with the passage of time, even seeing them in dreams or recalling their exact appearance will become a luxury.

Kerry didn't look like a high school student; he was a bit older than them. The others had all assumed they hadn't asked Kerry what he did before, but they never expected him to have worked in a hospital.

Kazuma really wants to complain.

He wasn't some medical student studying patients; he was the patient lying there being studied.

If you go and touch his guitar bag now, you might find that "license to kill" lying in one of the hidden compartments.

To be honest, I'm not that interested in this matter. Besides, this kind of trivial matter is just torturing ordinary people, so one person is enough.

However, at this moment, everyone was in dire need of a distraction, so they started studying it in a very serious manner.

"Is the area Ota Ward? Hmm, you should be taking the train home, not necessarily living near the school. Do you think this is the school uniform?"

"Correct."

Kerry nodded at a sailor uniform on the screen.

This is to lock onto the other party's school information.

"Oh, Xiuhua Public School next to Meili Middle School? It's a co-educational school. There was a time when the school had to close because students witnessed a murderer."

Kirito tapped the button and then opened Line to send his location to a group chat of four.

Unfortunately, that group still doesn't have an official name. It's still just a small group created randomly by four people, and all four of them registered new accounts with new phone numbers, and their names are even the ones from Konoha.

No one speaks in daily life; everyone communicates internally.

We've set our sights on a goal, but it's already quite late.

Everyone prepared to rest first, and Xiangzi went to the door to change his shoes and go home.

As she left, she felt something was off.

However, that feeling was fleeting, and she was preoccupied with the events of the day and didn't pay attention.

Xiangzi met Yuki today, and he felt that they got along very well. Yuki was also a very gentle girl.

But the more we talked, the sadder I felt. I thought that this child probably only had a few years left to live, and then I thought of my other friends and relatives.

Perhaps one day, when Mu is already an old woman, she will still look the same.

Even when everyone around her except for Kerry and a few others died, she remained the same.

The sense of being like-minded and different was so clear to them for the first time, and they understood more than ever how precious life, which they could squander at will, was to them.

Xiangzi went into the house, first went to the bathroom to turn on the water, and then slumped onto the sofa with lifeless eyes.

Meanwhile, on the street...

"Crack!"

Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been targeted after visiting Kasai Park and had a very long dream, peeked out from behind a telephone pole.

This is the place! It really is this place!

Just as the dream had indicated! Xiangzi lives here!

In her dream, she heard a version of events where the inherently evil Kri forcibly abducted her Xiao Xiang to be his companion. In the dream, Kri also showed her how Xiao Xiang was coerced by Kri, struggled to survive, and finally had to leave Kulaixiku.

Of course, although Su Shi is a bit of a fool when it comes to things she cares about, she wouldn't believe such things after almost being devoured by a zombie in Kasai.

Okay, actually I did believe it a little, and it took me two whole days of rest at home to recover.

It was only after seeing media reports about Kasai's side that I realized it wasn't like the dream.

Because Japan deliberately kept the Americans in the dark this time, it caused them a lot of trouble, and the media attention was impossible to suppress.

Those who are not familiar with the situation may wonder, can't Japan even control its own media? But the fact is, it can't. For example, the founder of a well-known mainstream Japanese newspaper whose ancestors were war criminals in World War II had to go and listen to the reporting policy every year.

There was also the time when Japan had territorial disputes with a neighboring major power. The government at the time was planning to secretly make a concession to the neighbor, but the media exposed it as soon as it started, which aroused the nationalistic sentiment in Japan. Or there was the case of the Nobutaka-nobutaka nuclear power plant. Outside, TEPCO staff were saying that everyone could rest assured that the unit was fine and there would be no explosion, but they had no idea that the footage from the previous news program on the same show was actually the video of the explosion that the media had already released.

It amused 100 million Japanese citizens.

Even though Soyo knew that wasn't the case, she still couldn't put her mind at ease and ran over to walk around twice.

But... but last time Xiao Xiang said he'd see me again...

Nagasaki Motoyo bit her nails harder, glanced twice more at the house where Xiao Xiang had gone in, then turned her gaze to the house where Kerry and the others were, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

Ah! I suddenly have an idea!

Although she herself couldn't tell whether she still had the idea of ​​trying to rebuild Group C despite knowing it was impossible, or whether she was still worried about Xiangzi who saved her that day, she still decided to take action.

The next day, the four of them, who were unusually dressed in sunny outfits, met up on the street.

192

Chapter 192 Goto Ichiri: Haha!

"Walk."

Carrying an instrument bag, she looked like someone rushing to rehearsal in this era of girl bands.

The group of people, who were in a rare mood today, decided to take a tram ride.

The suggestion came mainly because Kerry hadn't ridden Japanese trains much, while the others, except for Kazuma, were indifferent.

Kazuma is the only one who can stand for even a minute when he's not doing a mission. He'll never stand if he can sit, and he'll never lie down if he can lie down.

Today's journey will take us from Shimokitazawa to Shuka High School in Setagaya Ward.

I don't know how the pink-haired Tsuchiya, whose actual hometown is suspected to be Osaka, got into this kind of school. Although it is a public school, just like I mentioned before, those who live in Setagaya Ward and Shinagawa Ward are usually true Tokyo grandpas.

To describe it in more detail, next to the station is the Imperial Palace of Japan. South of the Sakurada Gate from the Imperial Palace is the Supreme Court of Japan. Further south is the area from Akasaka to Toranomon, which is the Kasumigaseki area where a large number of high-ranking civil servants' offices are often mentioned. Further southwest is the Diet Building of Japan. Not only can you see a bunch of high-ranking civil servants and members of parliament going to work as soon as you go out in the morning.

Even when you go out for a late-night snack, you can see people from all walks of life, from government officials to businessmen, going to Nagata Ding's upscale restaurants or bars to conduct insider deals.

Xiuhua High School is located a little further south in this area, at the intersection of Ota Ward and Setagaya Ward.

Xiangzi leaned against the door handle, staring blankly at the advertisements playing on the tram.

The video showing the debut of the idol group "Sumimi" is playing on a loop.

"well……?"

Xiangzi stared blankly at the blonde, purple-eyed girl in the duo inside.

Even though she was wearing idol makeup, she still recognized that face.

"Hatsuka...? No way? Why is Hatsuka working in Tokyo? She didn't even tell me..."

Teacher Da Xiang, who is very insensitive to the heavy emotions of others, tilted his head.

Then I remembered.

Oh! I blocked Chuhua! Never mind then!

Meanwhile, Kerry and his friends huddled together watching mobile game ads flash by on another screen.

There are Monster Strike, FGO, SkyCraft, and several games from neighboring countries. Here's a little-known fact: popular mobile games like Identity V and Knives Out are also doing quite well in Japan.

Even Identity V, a game derived from Dead by Daylight, is almost being turned into an online dating platform by young Japanese people.

It can only be said that even with fully immersive games, mobile games are still the preferred choice in society. Office workers who need to stay awake the next day can hardly replace sleep with fully immersive games, let alone have that much time for cyber social interaction. Or rather, even if they have time, the daily grind of locked-in work makes them lose the desire to do those things and prefer to do things that don't require thinking to pass the time.

[Sato Kazuma: There are so many corporate slaves around me, well, but I didn't expect that I would actually envy their lifestyle now.]

[Kerry: You'll behave yourself after working for two days]

[Kiritani Kazuto: There are probably quite a few office workers who envy our kind of life]

[Kazuma Sato: When you live a life where you can see the end from the beginning, you think about having a chance to break out of the routine; when you live a stressful life, you crave a peaceful life where you can see the end from the beginning. Maybe that's just human nature.]

[Kiritani Kazuto: You're getting sentimental now? Why don't you add "Mogami River" at the end?]

While the group was chatting idly.

The car has arrived at its destination.

As the car door opened, the group followed the crowd out.

"Oh, this is it."

Kazuma shielded his eyes from the sun with one hand; the weather in Tokyo in June was already starting to get a bit hot.

"So how are we going to get in? Sneake in, or... their school walls are high enough for us to easily climb over, or maybe we can tie up the two students and strip them of their uniforms?"

From afar, you could see several students wearing disciplinary committee armbands standing at the school gate, so it seemed like it wouldn't be easy to go inside.

"So we can't show our ID? Why do we have to commit a crime?"

Kirito's face twitched and he spoke in a low voice.

Kirito was referring to the Special Investigations Department credentials that the Kappa had given them earlier. In fact, with those credentials, they could not only enter most public places, but even local leaders would come to cooperate with their work.

"Actually, I think we can just walk in."

As Kerry pointed, the group saw a girl in a pink tracksuit with blue and yellow hair accessories in her hair, wearing a tracksuit on her upper body in the middle of summer and a school uniform skirt on her lower body, carrying a guitar bag and shivering as she passed by the door. No one stopped her.

"Huh? I didn't know there were schools with such a relaxed atmosphere."

Xiangzi was somewhat surprised.

This somewhat disrupted Xiao Xiang's worldview, which had been shaped by her attending a prestigious girls' school since childhood.

Goto Ichiri was trembling, his head bowed, not daring to look at anyone.

Day three.

This was the third day she had gone to school after staying at home all spring, unable to bear the pitying looks her family gave her every day.
