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

Kirito replied briefly, then continued looking at the documents.

At that moment, a female voice came from Kirito's computer.

"Honestly, Dad, what did you and Mom say? She's been complaining to me the whole time."

"Ugh?"

Xiangzi looked at the computer with a puzzled expression, then made a troubled face.

Could it be... that this is the legendary otaku who can converse with a language system he designed himself?

Kerry, however, seemed unsurprised.

"Don't worry, that's his daughter, she just doesn't have a physical body and can only live online."

"Yes! Uncle Kerry is right!"

The computer even responded with a voice.

"Ugh?"

After hearing Kerry's explanation, Xiangzi was even more confused.

No...no, why can't I understand what you're saying?

Is this still the same worldview I have, where everyone marvels at the incredible technological progress when they use a new energy vehicle?

However, this is probably because she was still studying before and hadn't seen the band's predecessors at sea, where Michelle's feet were on fire and she transformed into Iron Man, carrying Kkr and flying in the sky. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so surprised by an artificial intelligence.

Bondori, that's always been my worldview!

Not to mention that Kerry once suspected that this was not Bondoli at all, but probably not Bondoli Pico!

Kirito found more information over there.

“Kerry, you said before that this incident is related to the hospital last time... but it doesn’t seem quite right, which is a bit strange.”

Five years ago, the local government decided to turn that village into a dam and relocate all the villagers, but this sparked fierce resistance, and the project was only halted after a construction worker died.

"Strange, it seems there are follow-up cases to the incident from back then, but the related information has been altered. Tsk, I have no clue."

"Never mind if you don't have any, let's eat first."

Kazuma, who had finished cooking the curry, turned off the stove, filled a bowl with rice, and sat down next to the group.

“That’s true. Anyway, let’s get ready for dinner. Kerry will go drive back, and we can get ready too. We need to sharpen the knife and load the bullets.”

Chapter 129 Hinamizawa.

Xiangzi, who was too ashamed to ask for a free meal but worried that his father wouldn't be able to live a good life on his own, borrowed 80 yen from Keli and gave it to his father.

His father thought that this was a gift from the Toyokawa family to help him get through the period before he found a job, so that he wouldn't bother Xiangzi because of his poverty, so he accepted it.

We've finished eating here, and the things we ordered are arriving one after another.

At 10 p.m., Kerry returned from Arakawa in an 8-seater black minivan. The village chief even kindly provided him with a fake driver's license that could withstand scrutiny.

Because Makoto and Kirito sat in the third row to take the time to maintain their weapons, Shoko sat alone in the second row.

Even though it was a minivan, the things the group brought filled the trunk and the last row of seats.

Gas masks, miner's helmet, goggles, night vision goggles, household fire extinguishers, detonators, grenades, lighters, multi-functional fire flashlights, three sets of plate armor, ammunition, spare weapons, spare tires, fuel tanks, compressed biscuits, a case of cola, and a musical instrument bag for everyone.

As for daily necessities, they plan to purchase them in nearby cities.

It's worth mentioning that because Kazuma insisted that there be a long-handled weapon user in the team to wield his half-leaf broadsword, which resembled the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he changed his bag to a long bag that seemed to contain a microphone and stand.

Now, with the lead singer, keyboardist, guitarist, and bassist all in place, they were finally a complete band. Unfortunately, the lack of drums made it feel a bit off.

"Get on the bus. Summer is coming soon, and the weather is getting hot. There's air conditioning on the bus."

Once everyone was in the car, Kerry connected his phone to the car and switched the music to the old version of The Empty Box from Diamond Dust.

As Mmk's voice filled the car, Kerry stepped on the gas, and the car began to cross the Arakawa Bridge towards Saitama Prefecture, then proceed to Gunma Prefecture, and finally reach its destination from Nagano Prefecture.

The journey is quite long, basically a walk from the bottom of the island to the top. It takes about 2 hours by train, and about 5 to 8 hours by van with rest stops along the way. I should arrive around tomorrow morning.

This time would be even longer for an average person; about four hours on the highway is enough to cause mental harm to a person.

However, Kerry is always at his peak, so it doesn't matter.

Shoko Toyokawa seemed to be exhausted from the journey, and even with music playing in the car, she quickly fell into a deep sleep, her breathing even.

The two men behind them also fell asleep after two hours of sharpening their knives and checking their equipment.

Kerry was the only one driving through the night, passing through checkpoints and accompanied by the large trucks that appeared more frequently at night, without encountering anything strange along the way.

At 5:00 AM Tokyo time, as dawn broke, the car arrived in Okimiya City, Gifu Prefecture, the closest city to Hinamizawa. Everyone was woken up, and they rested and ate something in the city to take care of hygiene issues.

Actually, according to the geographical division, Hinamizawa should also be included in this city.

Since we don't know how long we'll be staying, we should prepare some necessary hygiene products.

I had breakfast at a family restaurant that surprisingly had waitresses in maid outfits.

After everyone perked up, Kerry drove again, following the navigation to Hinamizawa, a place that only had a name on the map and nothing else.

The car began to climb the mountain road.

Gradually, asphalt roads were replaced by dirt roads in the countryside.

As you look around at the increasing number of natural landscapes, there are fewer and fewer people.

"it's beautiful……"

Shoko Toyokawa looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Hinamizawa is surrounded by mountains on two sides and separated from the village by water on the other. Only two main roads, one wide and one narrow, run through the entire complex.

Moreover, you can see many thatched houses, and in the distance, there is a small mountain range connecting the houses. Pine trees grow on the outermost edge, and even the roadside is full of paddy fields. This really fits the stereotypical image of a Japanese village.

It's completely different from the gaudy stuff in Songfu's new countryside.

"It's a Gassho-zukuri style... I didn't expect that there would still be places that preserve it."

Xiangzi looked at the thatched huts and sighed.

Gassho-zukuri is a type of Japanese wooden house named for its resemblance to hands clasped together in prayer. It also symbolizes unity, as it's believed that if you want to repair the roof of a Gassho-zukuri house, you can't expect the whole village, young and old, to come and help. Afterwards, you'll have to host a feast.

"Looking at it this way, it really has absolutely nothing to do with human experimentation."

Kirito opened the car window and looked outside, marveling at the sight.

"Oh, when we went to Xinxiang before, the villagers there were so simple and honest."

Since it involves human experimentation, perhaps all the local villagers knew and cooperated. Let's go in and take a look.

Kazuma shook his head, and the group got into the village by car.

But a short while later, a car blocked the view in the rearview mirror.

The car honked its horn several times at the van carrying Kerry and his companions.

Kerry assumed they wanted him to give way, so he didn't give in and continued driving. But soon he heard someone shouting behind him.

"Stop! Stop!"

Upon hearing this, Kerry stopped the car. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw the car behind him also slowly stop. The door opened and a middle-aged, overweight man with gray hair got out. The man was wearing overalls, but his shirt was tied with a red tie.

After getting out of the car, he walked towards the group's car.

Most people would probably be puzzled by this situation, but the four Kerry members immediately put their hands on their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

The older man walked over, and Kerry rolled down his car window.

"Sorry! Sorry! I suddenly called you."

However, the middle-aged man smiled at Kerry and then took out an ID card with "Asahi Shadow" printed on it and waved it around.

"I am Kurato Oishi, an active police officer from the Okimiya Metropolitan Police Department. Are you all visiting Hinamizawa for the first time?"

"Ah."

Kerry glanced at the guy who had suddenly stopped them without any apparent reason.

"I see. May I ask if you're here in Hinamizawa for business or to visit relatives?"

The first sentence was polite enough, but the second sentence was rather unfriendly, even carrying the feeling of interrogation, as if speaking to a prisoner.

"Hey! Sir, do we need to answer your questions? Are there any cases around here?"

Kazuma rolled down the car window and spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, there haven't been any cases lately, but there are no resident police officers here. Considering the security situation, I would like to ask you all to tell me your purpose. Also, if you're here for tourism, I wouldn't really recommend it. Xinggong has many other fun places to visit."

Something's not right. Something's not right with this guy.

The people present all sensed something was amiss. What kind of normal police would question tourists so vehemently and then recommend them to go somewhere else?

Oh, so that's true in America! But this isn't America!

The group exchanged glances, but only He Zhen understood what Kerry meant.

We can check where this guy lives. There are many villagers coming and going here, and his companions are behind him. We can find a secluded place later and tie him up and torture him!

"Then we shouldn't be obligated to answer your question, right?"

He Zhen knocked on the car window in dissatisfaction.

"Indeed, but I did this out of concern for you all."

Seeing Kazuma's attitude, Oishi looked troubled and shook his head.

"Well, I wish you all a great time, but please don't stay too long. If you stay for more than two months, that won't be good, hahaha!"

With that, Da Shi turned and left.
