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

And indeed, I did make that preparation, but in the end, no matter how I wrote it, I felt that Xiangzi was so pitiful. I wondered if I would be scolded for letting Kerry give Xiangzi instructions, so I simply changed it to someone who would be born to be used and wouldn't be scolded.

Of course, as everyone knows, if my first contractor was Xiangzi, the commercial success would definitely have been much better.

Moreover, the first dungeon was about ghouls, which is a niche topic. To be honest, the original plan for the first dungeon was a minotaur eroge, the kind where women are raped in a village.

I even found a monster from a horror movie to be the boss, but in the end I wanted to write this kind of story.

Moreover, I really couldn't find a logical way to get through the test without Xiangzi being wronged.

So I'm really grateful that everyone has accepted this and read this far.

Then I'll answer three questions that people have asked frequently.

First, there's Toyokawa Shoko. Shoko will join the team, but it's more about bringing Shoko in his spirit form, while he'll be a brother in his physical form.

Then there's the issue of the romance. There will be romance, but as I mentioned, it will be quite different from the traditional kind.

Everyone knows my romance storylines are terrible and is worried about affecting the viewing experience. You can rest assured, there are no bad ones. I know I'm not good at this kind of thing, so I won't touch it. There won't be any cheesy, overly sentimental scenes or anything like that about falling for someone. Only truly extraordinary, heavyweight romances...

For example, stalking, surveillance, following, kneeling down and begging someone not to leave, or doing things like that in a basement.

By the way, here's a spoiler: two female characters who might interact with Ooshiro besides Ooshiro: Tomie Kawakami and Yuno Gasai.

Actually, the original plan was to ask about the god-like yandere Sugar, but when the group asked, everyone said, "Who the hell is that?"

The selection of dungeons later on might be a bit unconventional, but there will also be mainstream ones, such as horror movies and Cthulhu-themed ones. I feel that quite a few people have probably seen the "X-Ward" dungeon, but I'm not sure. Actually, many of these dungeons have a lot of supernatural and demonic elements in their backgrounds.

( ) Actually, the author is a fanatical horror movie enthusiast who watches almost every new horror movie released each year, regardless of whether it's a bad movie or not.

It's gotten a bit long without me realizing it, but I'm not going to play the victim anymore. There's definitely something tough and exciting going on later.

Teammates won't dismantle it either, and they'll defend the poison zone to the death.

By the way QAQ, please give me a first subscription, it'll give me some confidence QAQ.

Thank you so much for staying with me for so long while I finished writing this!

I'll leave you in suspense for the third book; I'm sure you've all guessed it—it's related to housing and the town.

However, I have already written the reason for the fourth incident earlier, but I don't know if anyone can guess it.

By the way, let me reiterate the plan for intensive updates: 5 updates in 3 days, 4 updates in 2 days, and from now on, unless I take leave, I'll update 3 chapters regularly. However, those who have read my previous book should know that I only took one day off from work in the month I finished the last book because I went to the hospital. Otherwise, even when I took leave, I would only update one less chapter to be busy with something else.

Actually, I originally wanted to wait until Mother Hen Ka started broadcasting before writing about Xiangzi's first incident, but when I calculated it, it would have to be four or five hundred chapters.

Finally! Oh no! Without everyone! Watashi!

Chapter 55 Who lives inside the giant pineapple in the deep sea?

In spring, you can hear the faint chirping of insects and birds in the mountains, and at night, a few cherry blossom petals occasionally fall in the wind.

Rushing out of the cabin in the woods, Kerry's pale light shone on the dark pond.

The pool water shimmered and sparkled under the intense light, and in the center of that light, a person dressed as a student covered their eyes in the sudden brilliance.

Below that student, in the center of the light, black dorsal fins unfolded and then quickly contracted.

A pair of large eyes reflecting a yellow light seemed to turn back to look in the direction of the newcomer because of the sudden bright light. The huge mouth with sharp teeth, neither human nor fish, opened and closed, causing the gills beside its ears to open and close in a strange sound.

When it actually turned its head, as if stimulated by a bright light, it raised its webbed claws in the dark water to block the light, and then disappeared into the pond's bank.

Everything happened extremely fast, in less than a second at most, but the scene made the two who rushed out stop instantly.

The aroma faded as the shadow disappeared into the water, gradually thinning out, like hiding delicious food under tin foil.

"Then...what is that?"

Kazuma rubbed his eyes in disbelief, feeling his reason shaken the moment he saw it.

"Oh no, is R'lyeh really going to come and give out household registration books to the students?"

Kerry wanted to say a name directly, but he was afraid that the pronunciation would attract attention or strong reactions from those around him in the current situation, so he held back.

While the two were talking, the frightened student rolled into the grass and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

The two ignored the fleeing student and instead stared intently at the not-so-large pond.

If you sweep the flashlight left and right, the longest point of this oval pond is only about 20 meters.

However, it couldn't be described as clear. Under the beam of the flashlight, the pond, whose depth was unknown, only showed black mud rolling upwards from the bottom, but the shadow that might be an illusion could not be seen.

"What...what do we do now?"

As Kazuma asked the question, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Last time we were just looking at why homeless people get kidnapped, this time we're just checking if there's anything unusual at the school and then serving up a big surprise, right?

Just as Kazuma was getting anxious, he saw Kerry take out his phone.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to film the first high-definition video of a water monkey in human history for netizens in the neighboring country, tag a certain content creator, and post it on an American UMA enthusiast forum, making it a paid viewing platform, and earn millions from it."

Kerry excitedly turned on the camera.

"No, let's think of something quickly! That thing, how do we deal with it? We..."

When Kazuma asked this question, he wasn't asking whether they should contact the museum or inform Senzaemon first.

Instead, they were asking how to kill this thing while still delaying their hunger.

Kerry clearly understood what He Zhen meant, as he touched his chin.

"Let's find something that conducts electricity and launch a full-scale attack on the pond."

"Maybe this is some rare ingredient; we might even get a reward if we give it to Senzaemon Nakiri."

At this moment, a group of students and dormitory supervisors rushed out, realizing something was wrong, and all of them turned pale.

They expected to see two figures running frantically with their hands outstretched in extreme terror.

And that's what I heard.

No, where did the principal find these teachers? Could it be from Miskatonic University?

At the same time, two other groups also arrived at the lake.

The group was naturally led by Erina Nakiri.

As the driver opened the car door, Erina Nakiri frowned and stepped onto the ground with her long legs encased in black stockings. On the other side, Hisako Shinto, who felt she shouldn't have taken the young lady out so late at night to act crazy, hesitated to speak.

The other group consisted of Nao Saezuka, who had informed Kerry of the unusual situation.

Although Kerry had gently told the child not to cause trouble, the surveillance expert still came, but she was watching from a distance on the rooftop of another building, using night vision binoculars.

As soon as Erina Nakiri got out of the car, she glanced left and right and headed towards the dormitory.

She wanted to see what those two boys who had lied to her grandfather were up to.

As a result, he saw a very strange scene as soon as he entered.

"Tell me! What is that?"

A row of students and the dormitory supervisor were squatting on the ground, while the person carrying the guitar bag was walking in front of them.

"I...we really don't know!"

The students were terrified and speechless.

"You shouldn't have seen it, so why did you all react as soon as we mentioned it?"

Upon seeing this scene, the bodyguards, who initially didn't know what they were doing there, immediately realized what was going on and stepped in front of Erina Nakiri before she could question the two women.

The other, shorter person was holding a flashlight, pointing it at a pond next to the dormitory, and standing by the pond near the bottom of the hill.

"Miss, I'm sorry, the Commander-in-Chief has instructed that you are not allowed to approach the site where the two advisors are working. I will escort you back now."

Erina was stunned on the spot.

"Dae-tae, what do you mean?"

"I'm sorry, young lady, this is the Commander-in-Chief's order."

Just as he was struggling, Kerry noticed their arrival and his eyes lit up when he saw the bodyguard.

"Hey, you over there, get someone to bring me a truckload of quicklime."

Upon hearing Kerry's words, the expressions of the people squatting on the ground changed drastically.

No, are you performing the famous Chinese dish, boiled fish, here?

"Ok!"

The bodyguard immediately agreed and then pressed the button on his headset.

"If Director Tuanzang has any needs, immediately bring a few bags of quicklime to the second downhill path, to Heshengliao. Also, send a few more people; the young lady is over here, take her away."

"Hey! What are you doing? What exactly did Grandfather order? Why can't I go?!"

Erina Nakiri felt like she was about to explode with anger. What happened during the day? Forget about it, what kind of spell did those two cast on her grandfather? And what were they doing over there? Even her personal bodyguard, the driver, was acting like this.

What is there here that she can't know? And why don't her subordinates try to dissuade her? It's obvious those two aren't any good chefs at all.

But her anger ended there, because the next moment, through the bodyguard's arm, Erina Nakiri saw it.

Under the beam of the flashlight, a strange head peeked out.

Like something from the distant deep sea, just seeing it made one doubt the reality of the world. Despite its human-like structure, it had a familiar texture. As a chef, Erina knew that texture all too well; it was the mucous membrane on the skin of a fish's head.

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Salted Fish's Sudden Thrust!

It's not a fish head; you can draw that conclusion with just one glance.

It's like a video where an AI-generated human head turns into a fish head, and then it gets stuck at two-thirds of the way through.

It evokes images of some inferior and malicious artifacts, or perhaps a large frog that looks somewhat like a fish.
