A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Upon hearing what the other person said, Fujiwara Daichi immediately followed up with another question, but with one significant difference: he didn't ask for his parents' opinion. Otherwise, he should have said something like, "Have your parents considered letting you go?"

Fujiwara Daichi said this to determine whether Hoshino Gokawa was aware of how special he was in the eyes of ordinary people.

Although Hoshino Gokawa thought he had restricted himself to a great extent, and even the abilities he revealed were only the tip of the iceberg, what use was it even if he did that!

Although the world has changed some perceptions due to Saiki Kusuo's abilities, things are still quite normal for ordinary people. There is no breathing and blood regeneration (a person is bleeding from a head but is fine by the time they reach the hospital), no violation of gravity (such as a girl's skirt flipping up when she falls from the sky, no beautiful girl who can't go to the toilet (unless she is a superhuman), etc. In short, there are no magical settings.

Therefore, the abilities that Hoshino Gokawa is currently displaying are already quite terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.

"No."

Hoshino Gokawa shook his head again in response to this question, clearly understanding what his uncle was asking.

"Really? Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? If you're willing, your uncle has connections that can get you into the government."

On the surface, this statement seems to suggest that Fujiwara Daichi hoped his nephew would live up to his abilities and join the government, but the real meaning was that he hoped to use his family's influence to push the nephew to a high position, so that even if others had such intentions, they wouldn't dare to make a move.

After all, no secret organization would dare to kidnap a country's high-ranking official for experiments these days; if such an organization did, it would be attacked by everyone else.

Because you have no way of knowing whether you will become someone else's target after that. After all, you should know that the important politicians in this country are all from aristocratic families, so they will more or less be associated with extraordinary people, and their ancestors may even be one of them.

Therefore, even if some high-ranking officials have special abilities or bloodlines that make others envious, no one dares to set the precedent, because doing so would be tantamount to declaring war on the country's upper class.

Simply put, each stage has slightly different rules. If you break the rules and you don't have overwhelming strength, you will definitely be beaten to death by the others in that class because you broke the rules (just like Comrade Kawakawa from America).

However, the rules are completely different between different classes. It's basically that you have to do whatever I tell you to do, and you're not allowed to utter a single word. If you dare to resist, I'll torture you to death.

Of course, even if you don't resist, you'll basically be tortured to death anyway, it's just a matter of speed.

Alright, back to the main topic. Hoshino Gokawa naturally rejected Fujiwara Daichi's suggestion, since he didn't plan to stay on this planet for long.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle, but I'm not really interested in this matter."

"Oh! Can you tell your uncle what you want to be when you grow up?"

Fujiwara Daichi did not immediately offer advice or tell him what the benefits were; instead, he asked the other man about his own plans.

"I want to be a free and unfettered traveler."

This is the plan proposed by Hoshino Gokawa, and another meaning of "traveler" is not to stay in society for long or to settle down in one place.

"...What do your parents think?"

This same sentence also has a double meaning. On the surface, it is asking the Hoshino couple for their opinion, but in reality, it is asking if you plan to just abandon your parents and go out to make your own way in the world without leaving any descendants.

As a member of a political dynasty, Fujiwara Daichi naturally hoped that the Fujiwara family would grow larger and larger, especially the eldest daughter's branch of the Hoshino Satoru family.

Chapter 227 The Fog House

"They said they would support me no matter what decision I made."

Hoshino Gokawa, who also understood the other party's meaning but hadn't considered the aspect of a large family, repeated the attitude his parents had given when he made his decision. Of course, the three rules they agreed on couldn't be known by others, so he didn't say anything.

After all, it seems that Fujiwara Daichi hasn't placed him on a level beyond his comprehension yet; if he had, he wouldn't have asked this question.

"That's it..."

Having received this answer, Fujiwara Daichi did not intend to ask any further questions. Firstly, his daughter and wife were about to come downstairs, and he couldn't let them know about his conversation with Hoshino Gogawa. Of course, his main concern was his daughter. Secondly, he hadn't yet figured out how to change his nephew's mind. Thirdly, there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.

However, Fujiwara Daichi was unaware that Hoshino Gokawa Mirai only planned to finish high school and then drop out.

Just then, Fujiwara Maho, dressed elegantly, came down from upstairs, followed closely by the three Fujiwara sisters, who were also dressed beautifully. The reason they were dressed so nicely was because they were going to a high-end restaurant together that night; otherwise, they wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

As for why Hoshino Gokawa and Fujiwara Daichi didn't use it, well, they're not women, so why would they spend so much time dressing up? So they came down first, and after they came down, the series of topics that had just started began.

"We're all ready to go."

"Okay, I'll go get the car!"

After hearing that they were all ready, Fujiwara Daido went to the garage, drove the car to the entrance, and then headed towards the upscale restaurant he had booked after all five of them got in.

Normally, five people wouldn't fit, but because Fujiwara Moeha is still young, she can squeeze onto Fujiwara Toyomi's lap. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for five people to sit, and we would have to get a second car.

Although they are not short of money, they still prefer to save as much as possible because their national conditions are different. Resources are not as abundant as in other countries, so they are very frugal in many aspects. Otherwise, they would not have developed their recycling capabilities to the extreme.

In contrast, the amount of waste in the United States is truly astonishing; pizzas and hamburgers that have only been partially eaten or even left uneaten are thrown into the trash.

Getting back to the main topic, not long after, Hoshino Gokawa arrived at a high-end Japanese restaurant called "Kiriya" in Fujiwara Daichi's car.

If I'm not mistaken, the name "Kiriya" is something that Hoshino Gokawa remembers being opened by a Totsuki Academy graduate named Hinako Inui from Food Wars!.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fujiwara Daichi?"

Because it's a high-end Japanese restaurant, its business model is based on reservations; they won't let you in to dine without one.

Yes, there are six in total.

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi, who had arrived at the door in front of a waiter, nodded slightly in response.

"Okay! Please come in!"

After verifying that he hadn't made a mistake, the waiter immediately led them into a private room in the restaurant, then said "please wait a moment" and left.

As for the menu, it seems there's nothing to see at this restaurant, meaning what you get to eat here appears to depend on the chef's preference.

Before the food was served, they chatted to pass the time, such as about Hoshino Gokawa cooking lunch, since there aren't many people who can cook so well at their age.

Even Fujiwara no Maho couldn't help but join in the conversation among these young people.

"Is it really that much to eat?!"

Because she had never tasted it, Fujiwara no Maho had no idea just how delicious Hoshino Gokawa's cooking was.

"Really! Mom! Wuchuan's cooking is really delicious! Even the other famous restaurants you've taken me to before, I don't think they're as good as his!"

Fujiwara Chika highly praised Hoshino Gokawa's cooking, noting that he was not only excellent at making delicious food but also at teaching it, a fact evident in the dishes she prepared that afternoon.

She also wanted to show off this skill at school if she could.

"Hmm... my cousin's cooking is really delicious."

At the same time, Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha also spoke, and what they said was basically the same as what Fujiwara Chika said.

It seems that Hoshino Gokawa's cooking really impressed them; even though they've arrived at a new upscale restaurant, they're still reminiscing about the food from lunch.

"Really...then Wuchuan, could you invite your aunt to try it?"

To be honest, Fujiwara Maho was also very interested in trying the dish that her daughter had praised in her camera, to see if it was as good as Fujiwara Chika and the others said.

"no problem……"

Hoshino Gokawa had no objection to her request; after all, it was just cooking and wouldn't affect him at all.

And it was around this time that the restaurant started serving dishes one after another. And you know what, as expected of a high-end restaurant, they had quite a variety of dishes. As for the taste, it was also excellent.

However, whether it was because they hadn't cleaned the lingering taste from their mouths or for some other reason, the Fujiwara sisters weren't as excited as usual while eating their food. On the contrary, they felt that the food they were eating was just ordinary and delicious.

Although it was delicious, it didn't seem so outstanding after Hoshino Gokawa's lunch, and they didn't even show any amazed expressions.

Compared to them, the Fujiwara couple were much better; they savored every bite as if they were eating a work of art.

As for Hoshino Satoru, there wasn't much change. It was still just average and delicious, but it didn't have the kind of soul-stirring cuisine I had at the Totsuki Resort last time.

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen of the "Fog House"------------------------------------

"what happened?"

Hinako Inui, who was focused on cooking, was unaware of the guests who had come today or what had happened in the private room, so she subconsciously asked her a question.

“Chef Hinako Inui, I just noticed that a few guests seem to be dissatisfied with your cooking.”

Since it's a high-end restaurant, they naturally try their best to provide the best service. Even if the guests don't say anything, they will do what they believe is right after hearing it.

"Huh?! Who said that?"

Hinako Inui, who was unaware of what had happened, instinctively turned to the person who had come and asked for details the moment she heard those words.

Chapter 228 Hinoki Inui

"They are the guests from VIP room number seven."

Upon hearing Hinako Inui, the head chef and owner, ask him a question, the waiter answered without hesitation.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go check it out later. Thank you for your help."

Hinako Inui, who had been working non-stop, immediately thanked the waiter.

"No, that's not true! It's what I should do!"

The waitress, who was flattered to see the owner thank her, then shyly took the tray to serve food to the guests at another table.

A while later, when only the desserts were left to be served in VIP room number seven, Hinako Inui signaled to the other waiters that she could serve the desserts herself, as she wanted to take this opportunity to ask the guests in that room about their situation.

"Boom...boom..."

When Hinako Inui arrived at the door of VIP room number seven, she did not go in immediately. Instead, she knocked lightly on the door a few times and only went in after receiving permission from the guests inside.

"You are... Ms. Hinako Inui, right?"

As the person who made the reservation, Fujiwara Daichi would naturally remember which graduate of Totsuki Academy opened the restaurant. After all, anyone who graduated from Totsuki Academy must have exceptional culinary skills, especially since the person in question was Hinako Inui, one of the top ten graduates.

"It is I, Mr. Fujiwara."

Having already checked the guest information beforehand, Inui Hinako was naturally able to recognize the other person. After all, there were only two men in the private room, and one of them was a teenager. It was safe to say that anyone who wasn't an idiot would not mistake him.

"I came here to ask about your dining experience, such as whether the food was not good or the flavor was too strong... and I will think about how to improve my dishes based on your feedback."

It seems that Hinako Inui had already thought of a reason to strike up a conversation with them before she even arrived.

"No, how could that be? Your cooking is already superb; I can't even find any flaws."

For a politician, it is essential to frequently praise others, regardless of who is standing opposite them. Although it may seem a bit old-fashioned, it is indeed a very effective skill for winning people's hearts.

At the very least, saying nice things when you meet someone will give them a good first impression, and this good impression may play a decisive role in your future competition for a key position.

As for those who look down on others upon meeting them, such people will never go far. After all, a true politician, regardless of their true nature behind the scenes, must at least maintain a good public image.

Otherwise, your opponents might use this as a reason to belittle you in order to increase their own chances of winning in key positions.

In other words, those arrogant and spoiled brats only exist in movies and TV shows. In real life, such guys are 90% nonexistent because if they cause any trouble, it's easy for their parents and relatives in high positions to get involved.

We all know what will happen then: they'll try to make this news headline so they can increase their negative publicity and profit from it (similar to the mutual smear campaigns between the US Democratic Party and the Republican Party in real life).

Therefore, people with power and money generally advise their children to behave themselves and avoid causing any major trouble. This is also why most family members treat strangers with an approachable attitude.

Besides having good family upbringing, they also know not to cause trouble for their parents.

Okay, back to the main topic. After Fujiwara Daichi and Inui Hinako exchanged a series of pleasantries, everyone followed suit and shared their thoughts, which were mostly positive reviews of how delicious the food was, including Hoshino Satoru.

After all, the other person did a really good job, so why can't we praise them?

However, their unanimous positive reviews put Inui Hinako in a bit of a dilemma. If everyone said the same thing, wouldn't that mean the employee had lied to her? But the employee had been working at the store for several years, so was there really any need for him to lie to her?

Fortunately, at that moment, someone, or more precisely, a little girl, came to her rescue.

"Hmm... but I feel my cousin's cooking is better."

"Moeha, what are you saying!"

Whether this statement is true or false, it should not be said in front of the person in question, because it is tantamount to saying that what you did was worse than what others did.

What are you going to say to the person involved? Someone with a bad temper might just blacklist you.

Moreover, Fujiwara Daichi already knew about Hoshino Satoru's special nature, so how could he not try to help cover it up? Unfortunately, his daughter was unaware of the situation, which led her to reveal it.

In response to this situation, Fujiwara Daichi first spoke to his daughter, then immediately turned to Inui Hinako and apologized: "I'm so sorry, Miss Inui Hinako, my child is still young and doesn't know any better."

"Not really. To me, she's a beautiful and sensible little princess. Come tell me, why do you think your cousin's cooking is better than mine?"

If you can't tell, your sister will be sad...

Although she's almost thirty, how could Hinako Inui possibly admit to being old? So naturally, she'd use "older sister" as a title. If someone called her "auntie," she'd probably throw a tantrum.

Besides that, she's incredibly well-maintained; at thirty, she looks almost like a twenty-year-old, still beautiful and charming. Of course, this could also be due to unique genetics in this world, where women age much more slowly than men, and they generally have high levels of attractiveness.

Perhaps this is an ability that was enabled in our genes in ancient times to allow the human population to flourish more rapidly.

"Hmm... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think my cousin's cooking is just better."

In the end, Fujiwara Moeha revealed who the culprit was, and Inui Hinako then turned her attention to Hoshino Satoru.

"..."

Hoshino Gokawa, who was being stared at, remained silent, but this was what he was thinking.
