A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

how to say……

It's somewhat like flowing water, but a bit thicker than flowing water.

After seeing Kurumi Saiki accept the seeds, it silently turned its head and continued walking in the direction behind the car until it disappeared into the thick fog.

However, just because they can't see it doesn't mean that Kusuo Saiki can't see it. In Kusuo Saiki's eyes, besides the masked guy, there are some non-human things moving behind him, and he doesn't know how long they plan to keep going.

After their main force had gone far away, the fog gradually dissipated, and soon the weather returned to clear skies.

"Nan, what Nanxiong just did... could it be... a monster?!"

From what Qi Mu Kuniharu said, it seems that he knows about the existence of monsters, but has never seen them.

"Um……"

Kusuo Saiki did not deny this.

"Really? It looks pretty good. Apart from being a bit strange-looking, it's not as scary as the monster stories your grandfather told you when you were a child."

Qi Mu Kuniharu relaxed immediately after receiving the affirmation, because he felt that these monsters didn't seem to be anything special.

Of course, the most important thing was that his son gave him great courage; otherwise, he would probably still be trembling with fear.

Then, realizing that the monster had given his wife something, Qi Mu Kuniharu quickly turned to look at it.

"This looks like a seed. I'll plant it when I get home."

Kurumi Saiki always cherishes gifts from others, let alone one from a yokai.

Chapter 216 Countryside

Following this little incident, Kusuo Saiki and his parents went to his grandparents' countryside. Fortunately, although there were no gas stations there, there were shops selling gasoline, so Kuniharu Saiki was able to pay his son for the cost of sending them back.

"Oh! You've arrived! Please come in, the old man is waiting inside..."

As soon as Qi Mu's family entered the door, they were warmly welcomed by the grandmother. To be honest, if you didn't know that she was already over fifty years old, you might not believe that she was so old. After all, you could feel how energetic she was from her tone and vitality.

"Really? Then let's hurry inside, so we don't keep Dad waiting."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Kurumi Saiki hurriedly called her son and husband inside, with Kusuo Saiki also leading the way.

"You know what? Before you even arrived at your house, the old man stood at the door watching you. He only went back inside and pretended not to care about anything when your car drove into the village."

Then, as if remembering something interesting, Grandma, who was walking down the corridor, turned around and started telling them. This made Grandpa, who was actually eavesdropping inside, very unhappy. So he quickly returned to his seat and shouted loudly at the outside.

Grandpa thought he was hiding it well, but little did he know that his every move was under the watchful eye of Kusuo Saiki, leaving him no room to conceal himself.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and come in!"

"Coming! Coming! Old man... you can't even wait this little bit?"

Grandma, who came in through the door, couldn't help but complain to him, but it was just the usual kind of complaining and nothing more.

"Hmph...it's because you guys are too slow."

However, on the surface, Grandpa seemed to pretend to be completely unappreciative.

But secretly...

Wow! I'm so happy! My grandson and daughter have come to see me!

As for why there's no son-in-law...

Hmph! What is that thing?! Is it some kind of sock that's been lying on the floor for three months without being washed?!

It's clear that Grandpa dislikes this son-in-law very much; in fact, he would say he's an eyesore. If murder weren't illegal, he would probably tear him to pieces for daring to steal away his warm and loving daughter.

You bastard! Killing you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!

It has to be said that my grandfather was indeed a man of the Showa era; his temper was just that volatile.

"..."

Although he was wearing a ring that blocked sound, Kusuo Saiki was able to roughly guess what his grandfather was thinking because he knew his grandfather's character very well.

After all, when he was a child, he had really sensed that his grandparents had the desire to kill his father, but they didn't do it because they were worried about hurting his mother and him.

"Dad, we've come to see you. Are you still healthy?"

As long as no one crosses her line, Kurumi Saiki will always be a very kind person.

But if you violate that...

Sorry! You probably won't see the sun rise the next day!

Because if the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, who would dare keep you alive until dawn?

"Hmph... With our bodies, we'll be fine for another thirty years! And you should be more worried about the weakling next to you than us."

"father!"

Kurumi Saiki was somewhat helpless about what her father said about Kuniharu Saiki.

"Forehead……"

Qi Mu Kuniharu had been mocked like this countless times, but because his skin was as thick as a city wall, there was basically no chance of an argument.

"Alright, old man, let's not talk about this anymore. Kurumi, you two should talk about what's been going on lately."

Grandma, who had placed the tea and desserts on the table, started to change the subject.

"Good mother."

Kurumi Saiki had no objection to this, so she talked about her family's recent situation. In short, it was the same as usual, with no changes. As for the encounter with the monster, they didn't mention it, since they didn't want to worry their elderly parents.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was after dinner.

Because it's in the countryside, there's not much to do, but that's precisely because it's in the countryside, there's fun everywhere, it just depends on whether you can discover it.

"Nanxiong, we have a lot of rhinoceros beetles here. Do you want to go catch some with Grandpa?"

Grandpa, who had prepared a net bag and several boxes to carry with him, extended an invitation to Kusuo Saiki in a particularly hearty manner.

"..."

As for what he really wanted to say, he didn't want to go, because he could easily catch rhinoceros beetles, and how could those things possibly be faster than him?

However, if he didn't go, he would inevitably disappoint his grandfather who had been looking forward to it for so long. So after thinking for a moment, Kusuo Saiki had no choice but to go with him to catch rhinoceros beetles.

"Oh, great!"

The grandfather, having received his grandson's consent, couldn't help but cheer with joy.

Unfortunately……

Midway through, some clueless guy joined in.

"Damn it! What are you doing here! This is my time alone with my grandson!"

Looking at Qi Muguochun on the other side, Grandpa couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

"Oh wow! Look what I caught, Kusuo!"

Without caring what it was, Qi Muguochun put on the net and went up.

result……

Wow! It's a snake!

When Qi Mu Kuniharu saw what the creature was darting around in the net under the light, he was terrified. Fortunately, the creature didn't attack them after it escaped but quickly ran away.

Seeing his despicable son-in-law so frightened, the grandfather would surely laugh smugly, and then, to show off his wire work, he would go up and show it off to Qi Mu and his son.

result……

"How about that! Isn't Grandpa amazing!"

He was extremely proud of the rhinoceros beetle he had caught, and he even imagined Saiki Kusuo looking at him with great admiration.

"brush!"

Unfortunately, this expectation was quickly dashed by Kusuo Saiki, who caught several very large rhinoceros beetles with just a casual scoop.

"..."

This move silenced Grandpa.

"No way! I must make sure my grandson looks at me with new respect!"

Then Grandpa figured that since catching rhinoceros beetles wasn't working, he should do something else to attract them.

For example, fishing in the river is much easier at night than during the day; otherwise, so many anglers wouldn't be fishing at night.

Chapter 217 Strolling Around

"Are there any large shopping malls near Uncle Dadi?"

Hoshino Gokawa, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with the Fujiwara family after dinner and feeling bored, suddenly turned to ask Fujiwara Chika's father a question.

"Yes! What is it? Is there something you want to buy? If so, how about your uncle goes with you?"

"No, I just want to go out and explore. After all, I haven't really explored the city properly yet, so I thought I'd go for a walk at night. And big shopping malls are the best way to show how lively and bustling a place is."

Hoshino Gokawa simply felt that watching TV was a bit boring, so he wanted to find an excuse to go outside for a walk, preferably by himself.

Of course, such a wish is generally impossible to fulfill, since who would let a guest go out alone at night? So after thinking for a moment, Fujiwara Daichi felt that it would be best to have someone of the same age take the other person along.

As for whether there will be any danger, I can't guarantee anything else, but this area will be very safe because the countermeasures department patrols 24 hours a day. After all, this is the center of the country, so the security is naturally the most stringent.

As for how he knew this, it was of course because his father told him; otherwise, Fujiwara Daisuke would have had to climb several more positions to find out.

"Qianhua, why don't you accompany Wuchuan to familiarize yourself with the surrounding area?"

"Hmm...of course, no problem!"

Fujiwara Chika didn't think long before agreeing to her father's request. After all, she didn't dislike going out at night; in fact, she really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, due to family rules, she basically never had this opportunity. But now it's different. With Hoshino Gokawa as a shield, she might be able to wander around outside for a while longer.

Since they were shopping, their fathers must have given them pocket money, especially since there was another customer present.

It has to be said that Fujiwara no Secretary is truly shrewd; she started scheming all sorts of things in her second year of junior high school.

After learning that his uncle had asked Fujiwara Chika to accompany him, Hoshino Gokawa didn't say much, after all, it was Fujiwara Daichi's good intention.

And this line of thinking is perfectly reasonable for most people, because people who are new to an unfamiliar environment do need a guide, otherwise they are likely to get lost in the new environment.

The most extreme example is a certain eastern area where you can walk all the way to the rooftop. Although the destination seems close, you'd probably have to take a very long detour to get there because the building layout and the steepness of the slopes are just so absurd.

After preparing her small bag, Fujiwara Chika took Hoshino Gogawa out for a stroll.

"Let's go, cousin!"

Although Hoshino Gokawa didn't want to call herself her cousin, that didn't stop her from calling him her cousin. In any case, he had to admit that his physical age was older than Hoshino Gokawa's.

And who knows, once we're out in the world, I might have the chance to convince them to call me "cousin."

"Um……"

Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly in agreement and then followed the other party out of the mansion. Shortly after they left, the Fujiwara couple chatted with their other daughters about all aspects of Hoshino Gokawa, most of which were nothing special, just about their feelings towards him.

They were unaware that Hoshino Gokawa was watching their every word and action. However, this state only lasted for a few seconds before it was lifted, because it was not a good thing to spy on others behind their backs.

"Cousin! You're going to the mall, right?"

"Um……"

"In that case, I'll go to the nearest department store!"

Fujiwara Chika, who had just received a huge sum of 20,000 yen from her father, was now thinking about how to squander it.

"can."

Hoshino Gokawa had no objection to Fujiwara Chika's suggestion. He wasn't very clear about the specific situation here, and he didn't want to use the full map vision skill, because it would take away a lot of the fun and might also imprint other random things into his brain.

After all, there are quite a few love hotels here, and if you take a look, you might see many images of human reproduction and life, so Hoshino Gokawa naturally doesn't want to activate his skills.

Not long after, they arrived at the largest department store in the vicinity and began to wander around aimlessly. However, for some reason, Hoshino Gokawa gradually became the one carrying the bags.

Even though he didn't say he wanted that thing, Fujiwara Chika bought it anyway.

"..."

However, Hoshino Gokawa didn't care much. He was just wandering around outside, so he might as well help her carry it. Besides, these things didn't take up any of his strength at all.
