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

Xiangzi smiled, his eyes narrowing. Everyone here is such a gentle person.

After agreeing, there were naturally some clueless people who would follow suit.

The story begins with the vice president of some association in Tokyo who wants everyone to be listed as members, mentions that he will donate money to the association, and says that he owns a small shop in Akasaka and hopes you will visit sometime so he can express his gratitude.

These are still considered to be relatively subtle; some are even more nonsensical.

They immediately bring out what they consider attractive, or more directly, gifts such as houses, cars, or offer to fund their righteous causes.

Kerry, who was interested in providing funding, didn't object. He said, "You say you're funding a cause of justice, so we'll take that as a genuine commitment. Don't even think about asking us to do anything for you. We'll find a trustworthy person to set up a foundation and donate directly to organizations that rescue kidnapped people or impoverished children."

The other people mostly refused other gifts.

However, because these people were so stubborn, these things became even more appealing. Perhaps sometimes the complexity of people is simply impossible to understand.

After sending these people away, it was finally the turn of the rather special people.

First and foremost is Xiangzi's maternal grandfather.

As the waiter opened the door, Xiangzi's grandfather nervously glanced at the four people behind the door, finally fixing his gaze on Xiangzi, who was sitting on his right.

He didn't rush to reveal his identity; instead, he tentatively cast a glance at Xiangzi.

232

Chapter 232 This one is even more heavyweight.

I noticed the gaze directed at me.

Xiangzi took a breath.

In the end, he suppressed his thoughts.

[Toyokawa Shoko: This is my maternal grandfather]

Xiangzi began to introduce himself to the people around him.

However, she felt that the others already knew, because when the names were selected, Toyokawa was quite conspicuous.

Surrounded by immortal brothers who have shared life and death, there's nothing I can't say about that.

There was no strong reaction from the audience to this answer.

He just looked strange.

After all, several people had been inside Xiangzi and her father's rented room.

That doesn't look like the kind of place a family that could come aboard this ship would stay.

Could it be that my teammate wasn't the kind of newspaper delivery girl who had to work and study at the same time, but a real rich girl?

In reality, Xiangzi responded by looking at Mr. Fengchuan and nodding.

Seeing Xiangzi nod, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Somewhat nervously, he sat down opposite the group. Seeing that they didn't seem inclined to speak, he adopted the social skills of a businessman and introduced himself first, then steered the conversation toward Xiangzi.

"...Xiangzi, what happened after you left home?"

"Oblivionis!"

Suddenly, Xiangzi uttered a word that startled the old man opposite him.

Then Xiangzi spoke again.

Call me Oblivionis.

Ah this...

Old man Toyokawa rubbed his hands together with a troubled expression, but still tentatively repeated the string of English.

“Obli… okay, can you tell me what happened?”

If he hadn't witnessed that horrific scene on the deck, he probably would still be able to put on the airs of an older generation entrepreneur, angrily scolding his granddaughter for what nonsense she was up to, telling her to go home with him, or to confess what she had done.

But now there's no way around it. If he hadn't heard that familiar voice up close again, he would have doubted whether he had mistaken the person for someone else.

After all, in his mind, Xiangzi should still be that clumsy young lady who was well protected by her family.

"I'm doing fine, you don't need to worry about me. And please don't have anything to do with me anymore. I wasted a lot of time agreeing to meet you."

I don't know which remark offended Xiangzi, but his tone turned cold.

Hearing Xiangzi's aggressive words, Lao Deng felt somewhat displeased and embarrassed.

He frowned and his tone became urgent.

"Xiangzi...Ob...I know what I said that day might have been a bit harsh. If it made you sad, I apologize."

What can I do if I'm dissatisfied? Even Tokugawa wouldn't see these people if he wanted to. I'm losing face here.

At this moment, the old man felt a strange emotion.

Why would a granddaughter run away from home, develop her own business for a few months, and then become someone she has to be subservient to?

I didn't think Xiangzi had any special talent outside of music in the previous 15 years! Not to mention that this looks like it's all about fighting. Is it the Toyokawa family that's limiting your development?

"There's nothing to apologize for; it was my own choice."

In private, Xiangzi would actually be more easy to talk to, but unfortunately, her teammates were also around, and Xiangzi's personality meant that the more people there were, the more she would defend her dignity.

Listening to Xiangzi's seemingly determined-to-kill-the-conversation-it-and-get-it-out-of-the-way talk, the old man felt a little uneasy.

However, he did not give up. Besides a great deal of personal concern, if his family could connect with the group Xiangzi was currently in, it could be a chance for them to take things a step further.

The Toyokawa family was not a long-established wealthy family; their prosperity only began in his generation.

So if there's a chance to continue the lineage while he's still alive, or if there's someone to carry on the legacy, he'd be willing to... and he never intended to completely sever ties with his granddaughter.

Previously, all he had been thinking about was waiting for Xiangzi to lose her temper and then abandon the dignity she had built up with her childish temper and come back obediently.

Now he is willing to respect Xiangzi's temper and only hopes that she can come back.

“Xiangzi, blood is thicker than water. No matter what happened to you, we are family, and your family welcomes you back. Your father was also forced by circumstances at the time. If you want, you can come back with him.”

The Japanese also use the phrase "blood is thicker than water," but because it expresses the meaning, it becomes a long sentence.

Old Deng couldn't hold back any longer and stopped calling out that complicated-sounding name.

But this sounds like: Oh dear, without Xiangzi, the Toyokawa family would be...

"Blood is thicker than water... but isn't desire always thicker than blood?"

Xiangzi opened her mouth, squinted at her grandfather with her golden eyes, stood up and looked down at the man who said he wanted her to be his daughter and would take care of her as his mother's legacy.

After experiencing a few days of poverty, she could understand what 168 billion symbolized, but she also couldn't understand why her father had to leave for this reason. If he was not capable, couldn't he just stay at home or be demoted to a regular employee?

Or is it that, in order to put on a show for certain people, as the head of a conglomerate, he must appear to severely punish incompetent members of his own faction to reassure them?

Xiangzi didn't know, but she thought that feelings couldn't be measured by such things.

Of course, she probably can't understand it yet, because the relationship between a father-in-law and son-in-law is hardly one of kinship.

For her, they were both family.

However, at the same time, Xiangzi also felt a twisted sense of pleasure.

Look! It turns out that even my grandfather, that cold and aloof grandfather who had his back to me, could say such things, apologize to me, and respect my thoughts.

Why is that? Is it because I've become strong enough from the fire's glow? Is it because we've endured so much suffering and finally gained some kind of status in these people's eyes? So, as long as we have these things, whether it's my father's mistakes or my own, everything can be accepted and understood?

Grandpa, you're so shrewd and materialistic...

"This……"

Looking at Xiangzi, whose eyes were narrowed and whose expression inexplicably frightened him.

Toyokawa couldn't utter a single word; he could only manage a few words as if he were fleeing with his tail between his legs.

"She has troubled everyone with their help."

He said something like, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble," to Kerry and the others, and then left.

After everyone left, Xiangzi sat down again.

Then she noticed the strange looks from the three people.

"Humph!"

She gave a cold snort in a voice only she could hear. Although it was actually quite embarrassing, she forced herself to pretend nothing had happened and turned her head to wait for the next person.

The next person was even more important; Mu, who had been allowed to walk to the door, saw Xiangzi's maternal grandfather come out.

"Ruoye, please help me out. Talk to Xiangzi and ask her to go home. You're a good girl, okay?"

Xiangzi's maternal grandfather asked her in a low voice.

"Don't call me Wakaba, and... I'm not your mouthpiece."

Under the other person's surprised gaze, Ruoye Mu replied and then stepped forward to press the call bell.

233

Chapter 233 I have a dual personality.

Seeing Wakaba Mutsuko enter with her head down, Shoko realized that she had no way to make a backup plan this time.

She was just thinking about how to cut the cucumber.

Mu was the first to speak.

"Xiang, I want to be with you too."

ha?

Mu's words stunned not only Xiangzi, but everyone else as well.

It took Xiangzi a few moments to realize what Mu was talking about.

His expression changed immediately, and he no longer cared about maintaining his worldview. He looked at Mu standing there and angrily spoke up.

"Mu, do you know what you're saying?"

Soyo, I'm so worried about you.
