A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"I've already eaten. The hotel's buffet was pretty good." With that, Hoshino Gokawa opened the car door and stepped inside.

"So Dad, what are we going to do today?"

"Send your maternal grandfather to his funeral..." Hoshino Natsuhiko said calmly from the driver's seat.

After a while -------------------------------------

"Namo Amitabha Buddha Tathagata..."

To Hoshino Gokawa's surprise, the monk who came to chant the Rebirth Mantra yesterday actually came again today.

Shortly after the other party finished reading, the guests who had come here that day began to offer flowers to the body in the coffin, including Hoshino Gokawa, who was even among the first to offer flowers.

Of course, this kind of behavior was also done yesterday.

"Then... close it."

The moment everyone had finished offering their sacrifices, the monk announced that the coffin could be closed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The workers standing next to him, following his instructions, immediately stepped forward to close the heavy coffin lid and then hammered nails into it.

After all this work is done, the coffin will be laid to rest.

As for why it's not cremation? That's because burial is not prohibited in this country!

Tread...tread...

Then Hoshino Gokawa saw the coffin being loaded onto a vehicle and then being taken to the cemetery.

"Let's go too..." Hoshino Natsuhiko subconsciously turned his head and said to his son as the hearse was about to leave.

"Hmm..." Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly, seemingly having no objection, or rather, what objection could he possibly have?

Then the convoy that was with the hearse set off.

End of Chapter Forty-Eight

As the earth was filled in and the tombstone was erected, Hoshino Gokawa knew that the funeral was finally coming to an end.

However, just because it's over doesn't mean their family can go home tonight.

After all, they were direct relatives, not outsiders, so naturally they had to help with the cleanup. By the time they could go back, it was already Friday of this week.

Fortunately, nothing messy happened during this time, such as dividing the family property. Everything was very peaceful. Otherwise, Hoshino Gokawa would probably have had to watch a family soap opera these past few days.

Friday after lunch -----------------------------

"Mom...then we'll go back."

"Um... Remember to be careful on the road."

"We will."

"Also... if you don't have anything to do during the holidays, you can come and visit us more often."

"Okay... Mom."

……

After a heartfelt conversation between his own mother and his renting mother, Hoshino Gokawa and the others were finally able to set off for home.

What Hoshino Gokawa didn't know was that for a long time after he left, no villainous-looking guys showed up to cause trouble.

After all, their experience over the past few days has been like falling into an ice cave. Can you understand the feeling of having something created through half a lifetime of hard work being instantly destroyed?

Believe me, you definitely don't want to experience that feeling!

They didn't even know what had happened, and when they came to their senses, they found that what they had created was gone.

As for Hoshino Gokawa, who did all this, he didn't care at all about the background of those small fry these past few days.

This city isn't his home, so why should he care so much? He just needs to make sure no one bothers his parents these next few days, and leave the rest to the officials.

Or is it that they can't even do this kind of wrap-up work properly?

3 PM ------------------------------

"Phew... I'm finally home!" Hoshino Natsuhiko was incredibly excited as he got out of the car and saw his house.

"Mom, I'll take the gifts and go see my friend first," Hoshino Gokawa said to his mother as he got out of the car, taking out two cakes.

"Okay! And don't forget to come back for dinner."

"No problem." Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly, turned around, and left with the two cakes.

As for who it's going to be given to, it's pretty easy to guess: one of them is for Kusuo Saiki.

And the other one...

"Manager, I brought back some souvenirs for you from Tokyo."

Upon arriving at Yuuko Ichihara's shop, Gosho Hoshino gently placed the cake in his left hand on the table in front of her.

"Oh! That's really strange. I didn't expect you to still remember me here." Looking at the handsome young man she hadn't seen for almost a month, Ichihara Yuuko couldn't help but give him a very amused smile.

"Ha...ha...that..." Hoshino Gokawa, upon hearing what the other party said, scratched his head, feigning embarrassment, as if trying to gloss over the matter.

"So... what are you planning to do here this time?" Knowing that the other party didn't want to talk about it, Ichihara Yuuko changed the subject and turned the topic to Hoshino Gokawa's purpose for coming.

"It's nothing... I just came to give you some souvenirs I brought back from Tokyo. I bought them from a shop run by one of the Elite Ten who graduated from Totsuki Academy, and they taste pretty good."

"Is that so... Then you should still remember the principle I follow here, right? You can't accept rewards without merit." Ichihara Yuuko, propping herself up with her left hand on her cheek, seemed curious about what the other person would say next.

"If that's how you're going to calculate it, then I hope you can give a small discount to the price that any male customer who comes in wearing glasses will have to pay in the future, even if it's just 0.01% off." Hoshino Gokawa's words contained two meanings: first, to prevent Saiki Kusuo from accidentally walking into this place and actually making some messy deal with him; second, to do Watanuki a small favor and build a little relationship with him.

However, in Yuuko Ichihara's eyes, this statement confirmed her identity as a prophet. After all, the boy with glasses' words were too suggestive, leaving her no choice but to think about it.

“In that case… I’ll accept it.” With that, Ichihara Yuuko stood up, picked up the cake, and waved it in front of Hoshino Gokawa.

"Well then, store manager, I have another souvenir to give you, so I won't stay here any longer." Hoshino Gokawa decided to turn around and leave immediately after seeing that the other party had accepted his souvenir, because he was afraid that the other party would say something incomprehensible or ask some very strange questions.

"Walk slowly..."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ichihara Yuuko gently waved goodbye to him.

Then, after Hoshino Gokawa left, Ichihara Yuuko summoned two creatures that looked like a black and a white rabbit from the warehouse.

"Mokona, there's something good here!"

"Good stuff! I want it! I want it!" x2

Fifteen minutes later----------------------------------------

Ding Dong…Ding Dong…

Hoshino Gokawa, standing at the door of Saiki Kusuo's house, gently pressed the doorbell next to him.

Click!

"Who is this?" Qi Mu's mother, who rushed out to open the door when she heard the doorbell, asked the question instinctively before even seeing the person's face clearly.

When she looked down and saw the other person's face clearly, she realized who had rang the doorbell.

"Oh my?! Isn't this Kusuo's classmate? Please come in!" Saiki's mother, who had seen Hoshino Gogawa's appearance at the sports meet, made way for him after recognizing him.

"No need, Auntie, I'm going home for dinner later. I came here specifically to bring you some souvenirs from Tokyo." With that, Hoshino Gokawa handed the cake in his hand to her, gesturing for her to accept it.

"Oh, I see... Then it's really kind of you to make this trip." After saying that, Qi Mu's mother took the cake from the other person's hand.

"No trouble at all. By the way, Auntie! Please give my regards to Kusuo for me later!" Hoshino Gokawa, having confirmed that the other party had accepted the gift, asked Saiki's mother to pass on her greetings to Saiki Kusuo before returning home.

"Okay! I think Nanxiong will be very happy to know you're back." Hearing the boy address her son by his given name, Qi Mu's mother knew that the boy and her son must have a very good relationship.

Otherwise, they wouldn't use the name to call it!

Chapter Forty-Nine Final Exam

Late June

After the funeral, Hoshino Satoru entered a relatively peaceful and stable period. Nothing bad happened. After all, the Japanese government had designated this place as a place where you absolutely could not cause trouble. If you did cause trouble, it might not just be you who suffered, but the whole world.

So in a sense, the Japanese government did the right thing, because leaking this part of the information can prevent 99% of people with normal thinking from causing trouble here.

As for why it's not 100%...

That's because the world is so big, there will always be a few crazy people who want to make a big splash, because they're just curious!

I'm curious what could possibly make Japanese government officials say that coming here to cause trouble is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire country.

Fortunately, most of those who wanted to make a big splash were stopped by Japanese government officials, and so far, no one has been able to escape their notice.

If it really happens, then they can only be prepared for the being inside to be furious about it.

Of course, they still had a selfish motive: they wanted to be able to communicate with each other.

In other words, if someone can persuade that being, or give the other party something that will satisfy it.

This being might grant him some power or assistance, even if it is insignificant to him personally, but Japanese government officials believe that power is enough to overturn the entire society.

That's why they didn't reveal the name or origin of the owner of this place to the outside world. They only said that anyone who dared to come here to cause trouble was an enemy of them, and left the rest to the people in the inner world to figure out.

As for the real world, it seems to be as calm as ever. Apart from the recent bills on school bullying and their enforcement, nothing major has happened.

Next, let's turn our attention to Hoshino Gokawa's side.

"Speaking of which, there's a question I've been wanting to know: why do you like to set your score for every subject at 88?" As Saiki Kusuo watched the math final exam papers being collected, he suddenly remembered this question and turned to Hoshino Satoru with curiosity, asking him through telepathy.

"I chose the number 88 because it has a good meaning. As for why I didn't choose 66... ​​well, that number looks a bit awkward when I bring it back, so I just chose 88 for everything." It has to be said that Hoshino Gokawa's words sounded quite reasonable.

"I have nothing to say..." After listening to this conversation, Kusuo Saiki really didn't know what to say either, after all, it was really bizarre in a sense.

"Hmm...Speaking of which, I also have a question for you. Aren't you afraid that by taking the majority of the class's choices for the exam, you might attract attention one day?" Hoshino Gokawa asked him in return, driven by a certain curiosity.

"How could that be?!" Upon hearing this, Kusuo Saiki instinctively denied it.

"Why not?! What if you suddenly encounter a teacher who doesn't play by the rules and gives you a test paper with all C's in the multiple-choice section? Would you believe it or not?"

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you haven't used your telepathic abilities on other people." As he spoke, Hoshino Gogawa looked down at another ring next to the spatial ring he had given to the other person.

"...Your angle is really tricky. I feel like it's not an exam but a psychological game." When he heard the other party ask such a bizarre question, Saiki Kusuo couldn't help but voice his complaints.

"Hmm... that statement isn't entirely wrong, after all, some questions in Chinese literature are about figuring out the examiner's intentions." Speaking of this, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but think of the flaws on his exam papers from his previous life.

(Please read the following passage and explain what thoughts and feelings the author expresses.)

Even the original author might not be able to answer this question correctly.

Therefore, Hoshino Gokawa understood that the emotion expressed was not the author's thoughts and feelings at the time, but rather the thoughts and feelings of the examiner after seeing the question.

In a sense, it's truly outrageous.

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

After chatting with Saiki Kusuo for a while, the two faced their final exam.

Of course, the end of the final exams does not mean they can have a holiday, because the official summer vacation starts the day after tomorrow, so they still have to come to school for half a day tomorrow.

Although it's called going to school, it's really just about cleaning and collecting summer homework. Once you're done, you can leave at noon.

As for the summer vacation arrangements, Hoshino Gokawa already had a general idea, but Saiki Kusuo was still unclear.

After school ----------------------------------------

"Gogawa, what are you planning to do this summer vacation?" Ten minutes before dinner, Hoshino Natsuhiko suddenly asked his son this question.

"I'll probably just stay home and watch TV or read comic books. If there's any temple fair nearby, I'll go check it out." Of course, this was just Hoshino Gokawa's wording on the surface. In reality, he planned to travel around the world this summer.

After all, he would get tired of staying at home all day reading comic books and watching TV.

"Hmm...I see..." Hoshino Natsuhiko put his right hand to his chin after hearing his son's arrangements, as if he was thinking about something.

"..." Seeing that his father seemed to be thinking about something, Hoshino Gokawa did not speak at this moment to avoid disturbing him.

after awhile……

"Hmm... I'll see if I have any free time this summer. If I do, then our family can go to Okinawa." Since summer is the peak season for manga sales, Hoshino Natsuhiko wasn't sure if he would be able to find the time.

“Okay…” Hoshino Gokawa didn’t think there was anything wrong with his father’s arrangement. After all, the family’s livelihood depended on him, and work was more important than playing.

Then time slowly passed until the next day, which was the day summer vacation started.

"What are your plans for summer vacation?" Hoshino Gokawa, who was putting his summer homework into his schoolbag, subconsciously turned to ask Saiki Kusuo.

"I don't know..." Saiki Kusuo's meaning was transmitted to the other person's mind through telepathy.
