Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Kerry made this opening statement.

"What did you realize?"

Kazuma asked somewhat strangely.

"I've realized that we're being treated a little too well. I told you, my immortality also comes from a monster like that."

"uh-huh."

Kazuma also responded, but then his expression turned a little grim.

"I don't know if hunting for strange blood will make us stronger. Is it part of that thing's plan, or if this world is just like this? If it's just like this, and we just happen to be able to absorb it, then it's fine..."

Having said that, Kerry stopped talking.

"what do you mean……"

Kazuma's face turned a little ugly, he already understood without Credo's explanation.

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

Maybe one day, it will be resurrected, resurrected in my body, and replace me. We cannot believe that thing's one-sided words and talk about the curse of eternal life.

If one day I become strong enough, and he is resurrected in my place, then you will be extremely qualified as his followers, right?"

A cold feeling rose from the soles of Kazuma's feet.

"so……?"

"However, I think you probably won't turn into physical bodies. After all, I'm the only one so special that I can be resurrected by your side. I'm probably the only one who will turn into a monster. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that you will be mentally polluted. If that's the case, it's better to let you be polluted by other intellectual minds as soon as possible."

Kerry continued to slide around.

"Besides that, I want you to experiment with magic that can defeat my immortality.

And find the most effective one, preferably a sealing type, and I will cooperate with you."

Kerry slid the chair in front of Kazuma and extended 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 this possibility, and I can't give up this opportunity to have the power to change the world, okay?"

Kerry raised his pinky finger.

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

"Haha! Aren't you Japanese? And I won't die even if I swallow ten thousand of them!"

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

It was something only children would do, but at this moment he could feel the heavy weight of it.

"Okay, do you think you're a pretty girl? Why are you showing that expression?"

Keri scoffed at Kazuma's expression.

Kazuma didn't know what expression he had at the moment, but he felt that it definitely wouldn't look good.

"Then let's learn some magic. First, the banishing spell against the undead. Repeat after me. Once you've learned it, try casting it on me. I've never been able to cast it successfully before."

Kazuma finally understood why this was the first magic Keri chose, because maybe they should also be classified as undead creatures.

But Kazuma also made up his mind.

Haha! Since magic exists, I won't let that day happen. If that day ever comes, I'll just use magic to drive that monster's spirit out of your body.

Chapter 236 Just roll up!

"Hey, aren't you two trying too hard?"

In the evening, because Kazuma didn't cook, Kirito, who had ordered a luxurious sushi takeout, knocked on the door on the third floor.

He didn't expect that Kazuma, who looked so carefree, would study so seriously.

He studied from almost noon until evening without stopping, and from time to time he could hear noises coming from the third floor, probably someone simulating a spell.

Even though he said he would take a week off to play games after returning, Kazuma was so enthusiastic that Kirito, who actually played games for the entire afternoon after returning, felt a little weak.

"I'm coming!"

Kazuma's tired voice came from inside.

After a while, Kazuma came out with his clothes a little tattered.

Seeing Kirito's inquiring gaze, he pointed a finger at his face.

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

Because of his worry about a certain bastard, Kazuma studied very hard. He repeatedly asked about every syllable he didn't understand, every magic pattern he couldn't draw, and every piece of occult knowledge. Kerry even had to look up the book to answer his questions.

In just one afternoon he learned two small spells, which were Cthulhu-themed.

They are the Hillicul people's magic to expel undead monsters, and a kind of plague magic.

However, Kazuma felt that he would not be able to use the second one much.

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

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

“You don’t need to study too much in one day, or you’ll have mental problems.”

Kerry did not agree to his request to continue rolling.

Kerry was one of the few who didn't respond to Kazuma's aggression and simply followed him down the stairs.

"You two are weird."

Kirito looked at the two of them suspiciously, but went downstairs as well.

At dinner time, Xiangzi, who had finished her literary creation, also came to eat.

I was a little surprised to see that they were ordering takeout today, but I didn’t say anything.

I washed my hands and clapped my hands with everyone.

"I'm gonna start now!"

(X3)

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

(X1)

I picked it up with the most standard finger-side sushi pinching technique, placed it next to the soy sauce dish, and lightly touched the soy sauce dish with the side with the seafood. Then I realized that although this was not cheap, it was ultimately just a bunch of crappy sushi produced by a chain store.

This is not freshly made by the chef, it’s hard not to fall apart when eaten like this.

"By the way, it's time to change our instrument bags and get some new clothes. Do you want to go to the mall together?"

Xiangzi looked at the three people who were holding chopsticks, casually dipped the vinegar rice side in soy sauce or mustard and stuffed it into their mouths, feeling a little helpless. Then he looked at the plate of rice he had in his hand.

Xiangzi washed his hands as if nothing had happened, took a pair of disposable chopsticks, set them aside, and then dipped the second piece of sushi in the soy sauce dish that looked like battlefield debris, then put it in his mouth with a strange expression.

Huh? Don't sushi vendors put wasabi between the rice and fish beforehand? I thought they...

".laugh!"

Xiangzi was furious when he heard Kerry's voice, but he still acted as if nothing had happened, closed his eyes and continued eating without looking at anyone.

After dinner, Kazuma went to take out the trash and clean up the dishes, while Kerry nodded and agreed to Xiangzi and his group's request to go shopping together.

Although it was a large purchase, it was not necessary to go to the main building of Tokyo Department Store or a famous shopping mall like Tokyo Odaiba which was built on an island.

A few of them decided to drive directly to Ikebukuro. If they were not lazy, it would not be far to walk to Ikebukuro from Kiyomizu-zaka.

"Dong dong!"

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

Although at this time, driving on the streets at night is like kidnapping a girl.

Everyone in the car had different thoughts, so Kerry turned off the song "Warm Rhodonite" that was playing and turned on the radio to play the news.

Everyone is running around outside when they have nothing to do and has no time to surf the Internet intensively. At this time, radio programs that young people rarely listen to become more valuable than the fragmented information on the Internet.

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

When they opened it, they found out what had happened in the past few days.

There is nothing much to say. Many right-wing media in Japan, including the Sankei Shimbun, are interpreting this incident as a travel accident.

They tried their best to conceal the identities of the passengers on these ships to avoid the public's suspicion of the private discussions of their top leaders.

Even though the top leaders were discussing this matter privately, every Japanese knew about it and there was no doubt about it.

It turned out that apart from this, all the other things were not a big deal, and except for Kerry, everyone else had no interest.

"Tokyo Metropolitan Kouichiu High School, the new year's field activities have officially begun..."

"The announcer who has been bringing good mornings to Morioh Town for many years is retiring, and many listeners are expressing their regret..."

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

Kerry was stunned when he heard this. He opened the date and took a look. There were still nine days before the incident that prompted him to escape from the mental hospital. If this series of accidents had not happened, he should have reached Nara by now, traveling while scavenging.

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

The journey was not far, and Kerry arrived in no time.

What made everyone regret driving out was that they spent much more time looking for a parking space in the basement than driving here.

It’s Ikebukuro after all!

It was still the shopping mall in the center of Ikebukuro. When they walked out of the basement room, the crowds in front of them made Kazuma want to go home and sleep directly.

After squeezing through the crowd, they finally arrived at the musical instrument store that Xiangzi had mentioned.

"Ah! How come your instrument bags are so badly damaged? You must take good care of them!"

A Bandoli part-time worker tried to help several people unpack their instrument bags, but was rejected.

Although she was a little confused, she still dutifully led the few people inside and introduced various durable but very expensive musical instrument bags to everyone.

Chris picked out a sturdier, larger guitar bag with a silver, somewhat conspicuous design, and ordered three.

The bass bag that Kirito chose is red and black.

Xiangzi was dazzled by the choices. She liked several of the ones with lace decorations, so she just bought one of each.

Finally, it’s Kazuma. Because he hadn’t been very successful in playing with his B half-page broadsword many times, this time he had crystal large ivory and chose a simple and sturdy-looking cello bag.

"Hmm... That's strange. Why are these customers only buying bags?"

237

Chapter 237 Xiang, how many people have you offended?

Four people were walking side by side on the streets of Ikebukuro.

The instrument bag has been put in the car. In addition to those things, several people also need to purchase some other small items today.

Such as gloves, clothes, boots.

Especially boots, several people usually buy more convenient sports shoes, but even so, the soles of the shoes are often scrapped during battle.

You can see tourism advertisements from various places on the streets from time to time.

Since July is almost here, you can see promotions for festivals from all over the country everywhere.

Preparations for summer festivals are underway in various locations.

Such as the Tenjin Festival in Osaka, the Gion Festival in Kyoto, the Tenka Festival at Mount Fuji, and the fireworks display at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, there are also locals in Ikebukuro, where you might see the Tanabata Festival of a pair of blue-green-haired orthopedic sisters.

The increasingly hot weather has prompted the young ladies on the street to change into various outfits early.

Although there is no obvious difference between these girls wearing short skirts and thick tights in winter, flesh-colored tights and short skirts in spring, and thigh-high skirts in summer without careful observation, they do add a touch of youthfulness to the eyes of several people.

"Ah... it's so good to be young."
