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

Kerry made this opening remark.

What did you realize?

Kazuma asked a somewhat strange question.

“I realize now, aren’t we being treated a little too well? I’ve told you before, my immortality also comes from one of those monsters.”

"uh-huh."

Kazuma responded, but his expression immediately turned sour.

"I don't know if hunting the blood of monsters to make us stronger is part of that thing's plan, or if this is just how the world is. If it is, and we just happen to be able to absorb this kind of thing, then that's fine..."

Kerry stopped there.

"what do you mean……"

Kazuma's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; he understood without Krido needing to explain.

"Yes, is our behavior of constantly getting stronger, and starving if we don't hunt, prepared by the seafood I ate at the beginning?"

Perhaps one day, it will be resurrected, resurrected in me, and replace me. We cannot believe that thing's one-sided story, talking about an eternally living curse.

If one day I become strong enough, but he is resurrected in my place, and you, as my familiars, are perfectly qualified, aren't you?"

A cold sensation rose from the soles of He Zhen's feet.

"so……?"

"However, I think you probably won't become physical bodies. After all, I'm the only one who's special enough to be resurrected just by being near you. I'm probably the only one who'll become a monster. Of course, it's also possible that you'll be mentally corrupted. In that case, it's better to let you be mentally corrupted by other knowledge sooner rather than later."

Kerry continued gliding around.

"Besides that, I also want you to test magic that can defeat my immortality."

And I will work with you to find the most effective one, preferably a sealing type.

As Kerry slid along, he slid the chair in front of Kazuma and stretched out a hand.

"And if one day I am no longer myself, please kill me."

This is our agreement. I don't want them to be troubled by this, so I won't tell them. We can't stop hunting just because we're afraid of that possibility, and I certainly can't give up this opportunity to have the power to change the world, okay?

Kerry raised his little finger.

"What did you Japanese say again? If you can't do it, swallow a thousand needles?"

"Heh! Aren't you Japanese? Besides, even if I swallowed ten thousand, I wouldn't die!"

Kazuma said that, but he also raised his little finger and made a pinky promise with Kerry.

It's something only children would do, but at this moment he could feel its heavy weight.

"Okay, do you think you're a pretty girl? Making that kind of face?"

Kerry sneered at Kazuma's expression.

Kazuma didn't know what his expression was, but he felt it definitely wasn't very good.

"Then let's learn magic. First is the banishment spell for undead. Repeat after me, and once you've learned it, try casting it on me. I've never been able to cast this successfully."

Kazuma finally understood why Kree chose this as his first spell; perhaps they should also be categorized as undead.

However, Kazuma made up his mind.

Heh! Since magic exists, I won't let that day happen. If it ever does, I'll just use magic to expel that monster's spirit from your body.

Chapter 236 Just roll it up!

"Hey, aren't you two pushing yourselves a little too hard?"

That evening, Kirito, who had ordered deluxe sushi delivery because Kazuma hadn't cooked, knocked on the door on the third floor.

He hadn't expected that Kazuma, who seemed so carefree, would be so serious about studying.

They studied from almost noon until evening without stopping, and every now and then you could hear noises coming from the third floor, probably simulating spellcasting.

Despite saying he was coming back to rest for a week and play games, Kazuma's insistence made Kirito, who had actually played games all afternoon after returning, feel a little uneasy.

"I'm coming!"

A tired voice came from inside.

A short while later, Kazuma, whose clothes were somewhat tattered, came out.

Seeing Kirito's probing gaze, he pointed to his face with his finger.

"I'm a genius! Unlike some guy who can only chant incantations but can't cast spells, I've already learned two spells."

Because of his concern for that bastard, and because he was really dedicated to his studies, he repeatedly asked about every syllable he didn't understand, every magical pattern he couldn't draw well, and every piece of mystical knowledge. He even had to look up the answers in books for Kerry.

He learned two minor spells in just one afternoon, which are Cthulhu-related.

These are the Hilichurls' ability to banish undead monsters, and a plague magic.

However, I really don't think I'll need the second option.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat, I want to continue after I finish eating."

As he spoke, Kazuma glanced smugly at Kerry behind him.

"Don't study too much in a day, lest you develop mental problems."

Kerry refused when he asked to continue rolling.

Kerry, one of the few who did not retaliate against He Zhen's aggressive behavior, simply followed him down the stairs.

"You two are acting strange."

Kirito looked the two of them over suspiciously, but then went downstairs.

Around dinner time, Xiangzi, who had finished her literary work, also came to eat.

I was a little surprised to see that it was takeout today, but I didn't say anything.

I washed my hands and clapped with everyone.

"I'm gonna start now!"

(X3)

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

(X1)

I picked up the sushi using the most standard finger-pinching technique, placed it next to the soy sauce dish, and lightly touched the soy sauce dish with the side containing the seafood. Then I realized that although it wasn't cheap, it was ultimately just a bunch of shoddy sushi from a chain store, all scattered into a mess.

This wasn't made fresh by a chef; it's hard for it not to fall apart when eaten like this.

"Oh right, we need to replace our instrument cases and get some new clothes too. Shall we go to the mall together?"

Xiangzi looked at the three people who were holding chopsticks, casually dipping the vinegared rice in soy sauce or wasabi, and stuffing it into their mouths, feeling somewhat helpless. He then looked at the plate of rice he had taken.

Xiangzi casually washed his hands, grabbed a pair of disposable chopsticks, set aside the food, dipped the second piece of sushi in the soy sauce dish that resembled battlefield debris, and then ate it with a strange expression.

Huh? So, sushi restaurants don't spread wasabi between the rice and fish beforehand? I thought they did...

".laugh!"

Hearing Kerry's barely suppressed voice, Xiangzi was furious, but he still acted as if nothing had happened, closing his eyes and continuing to eat without looking at anyone.

After dinner, He Zhen went to take out the trash and clean up the dishes, while Ke Li nodded in agreement to Xiang Zi's request for the group to go shopping together.

Although it's a big shopping trip, it's not necessary to go to the Tokyo Department Store headquarters or a famous shopping center like Odaiba, which is located on an island.

The group decided to drive directly to Ikebukuro. If they weren't being lazy, it wouldn't be far to walk from the Kiyomizu-zaka area to Ikebukuro.

"Dong dong!"

Kerry started the engine; everyone's van hadn't been used for a while.

At this time of day, driving on the streets at night feels like kidnapping a young girl.

Everyone on the bus had their own thoughts, so Kerry turned off the song "Warm Rose Gemstone" that was playing and switched to the radio to broadcast the news.

People are always out and about and don't have time for intensive online surfing. In this case, radio programs that young people rarely listen to become more valuable than fragmented information online.

"...According to reports, many hospitals in Chiba were overwhelmed overnight, and many residents saw a cruise ship docked at the port that night..."

The result was that all they had done in the last few days.

There's not much to say. Many right-wing media outlets in Japan, including the Sankei Shimbun, are trying to frame this as a travel accident.

They went to great lengths to conceal the identities of the passengers on these ships in order to avoid arousing suspicion among the public about their high-ranking officials' private discussions.

Although the fact that high-level officials discussed matters privately is something every Japanese person knows, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

As it turned out, everything else was just trivial, and apart from Kerry, everyone else showed little interest.

"Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, the new year's field activities officially begin..."

"The radio host who has been bringing good mornings to Morioh for many years is about to retire, and many listeners have expressed their regret..."

"The latest volume of the well-known domestic light novel 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya' is about to be released..."

Kerry was taken aback when he heard this. He opened the calendar and glanced at it. There were still nine days until the incident that prompted him to escape from the mental hospital. If it weren't for this series of unexpected events, he should have been traveling to Nara by now, scavenging for scraps.

Even Kerry didn't know whether that thing would continue to happen after so many things had happened in this world.

The journey wasn't far, and Kerry arrived in no time.

What made everyone regret driving out was that they spent far more time looking for parking spaces in the basement than driving there.

It's Ikebukuro, after all!

It was still the shopping plaza in the very center of Ikebukuro. When the group walked out of the basement, the sheer number of people made Kazuma want to go straight home and sleep.

After squeezing through the crowds, we finally arrived at the musical instrument shop that Xiangzi had specified.

"Oh dear! How did your instrument cases get so badly damaged? You must take better care of them!"

A Bondi worker, a true warrior, tried to help the group unpack their instrument bags, but was refused.

Despite some doubts, she dutifully led the group inside and introduced them to various durable but very expensive instrument bags.
