A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"what happens?"

"A chain of explosions originated from someone carelessly throwing away a cigarette at an intersection. The cigarette was blown by a strong wind and landed on a truck that was transporting trees, which then caught fire. The burning truck then crashed into a tanker truck parked next to it."

Then…” Saiki Kusuo didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone could basically guess the outcome.

"Then who will solve it? You'll still be me..."

"Leave it to me... I know what happened." After saying that, Kusuo Saiki switched his eyes to Clairvoyance and began to search for the crime scene in the foreseen future.

Then, a short while later...

"Found him!" As soon as he finished speaking, Kusuo Saiki disappeared from their sight.

"Well... let's continue watching TV." Seeing that the other person had left, Hoshino Gokawa and Sakamaki Izayoi didn't care much about the matter anymore.

Having fought each other before, they had a general idea of ​​how strong their opponent was, so neither of them thought this small incident would stump him.

But after nearly half an hour and when Saiki Kusuo still hadn't returned, they started to feel something was off.

If it were just a simple accident, it shouldn't have taken this long, unless something else happened afterward.

Even so, they did not go to find the other party immediately, but planned to wait a while. If the other party did not return after half an hour, Xingyao Wuchuan would also have to set off.

Half an hour later...

"I'll go take a look." Seeing that Saiki Kusuo still hadn't returned, Hoshino Gokawa decided to go and see what had happened, so he began to spread his spatial perception to envelop the city.

Then-------------------------

"Hmm?" Hoshino Satoru noticed that Saiki Kusuo hadn't moved from a certain spot in the park and seemed to be talking to someone, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"What's wrong?!" Upon hearing his questioning tone, the two instinctively looked at each other.

"I saw Kusuo standing in one place, and I don't know what happened. I'll go and see." With that, Hoshino Gokawa also disappeared.

Only Izayoi Sakamaki and Ishi remained, gazing at each other.

"brush!"

Thump... Thump...

Hoshino Gokawa, who appeared in a secluded corner, immediately ran towards Saiki Kusuo after locating him, and subconsciously patted Saiki's right shoulder when he arrived.

"Nanxiong? What happened to you..."

But Hoshino Gokawa stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, because he saw...

I saw a girl who was missing an eye and a leg.

"..." Although it's not obvious on the surface, if you observe carefully, you'll find that the other person's right eye and left leg are not particularly lively compared to the other side.

Moreover, there was a medical cane on the recliner next to her that indicated she was disabled.

"Hello..." Upon seeing other people arrive, the girl wearing a beret and with a partial physical disability waved and greeted them gently.

"Hmm..." Hoshino Gokawa nodded, and without the other party noticing, he used spatial telepathy to transmit his words to Saiki Kusunoki's ear.

"what's going on?"

"Just as I was defusing that chain of crises, she happened to discover me." Saiki Kusuo didn't say much, but briefly summarized what had just happened.

"In that case... then just hit her on the head with the memory eraser!" Because the other person was a bit young and had a rather childish face, Hoshino Gokawa didn't immediately recall which anime character she was from.

“I was going to do that, but she suddenly said she wouldn’t tell anyone, and even swore it in the name of the God of Wisdom.”

"???? You're saying she's a god?!" Hoshino Gokawa was slightly taken aback upon receiving this news, then couldn't help but turn his gaze towards her for a closer look.

Then-----------------------------

"If she's a god, she's far too weak! With that level of energy, I feel like she'd have a hard time even defeating an adult man." It wasn't that Hoshino Gokawa wanted to underestimate her; it was just that the other party was truly too weak.

"That's what I thought too, but since she revealed some other information, I can only choose not to erase her memory for the time being." Saiki Kusuo explained his reasons for not erasing her memory to him through telepathy.

"Do you know what her name is?"

"Hmm... Kotoko Iwanaga."

"I see... Iwanaga... Kotoko?!"

I'll take a break and adjust my sleep schedule today; I'm finding it hard to keep up writing until late at night every day.

I'll take a break and adjust my sleep schedule today. I'm finding it hard to keep going until late at night every day.

I'll take a break and adjust my sleep schedule today. I'm finding it hard to keep going until late at night every day.

I'll take a break and adjust my sleep schedule today. I'm finding it hard to keep going until late at night every day.

I'll take a break and adjust my sleep schedule today. I'm finding it hard to keep going until late at night every day.

My dad might be positive; I've been helping him tidy up my room just now.

My dad might be positive for COVID-19. I was just tidying up my room for him. I told him not to go play cards, but he wouldn't listen. Sigh. The world record seems to be eight times. After eight times, he'll definitely be in trouble. Sigh.

Let's see how lucky the author is these days. If they're lucky, everything's fine; if not, it's game over.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Kotoko Iwanaga

Upon learning the other person's identity, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but turn his head to look at her a couple more times, as the name was indeed quite memorable to him.

How did it leave such a deep impression...?

A seasoned veteran driver who constantly spouts dirty jokes, although he's slightly less skilled than the one from the Delusion Student Council, this guy is definitely a professional when it comes to lewd things.

The source is an anime called "In/Spectre," which uses a monster setting but is actually about breaking down feudal superstitions, which is quite bizarre in a way.

However, for Hoshino Gokawa, the focus now is not on that, but on why the other party came here, and how he happened to witness Saiki Kusuo ending the chain reaction.

“They must have been communicating in a way I don’t know, whether it was telepathy or some other kind of telepathic ability…” Seeing that the two of them didn’t have any conversation, but Hoshino Gokawa seemed to know something, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn’t help but start to suspect that one of them had a similar ability.

"Um... Miss Iwanaga, may I call you that?" Since Saiki Kusuo's special nature had been discovered by the other party, Hoshino Gokawa no longer tried to hide the matter of telepathy, after all, the other party was not an ordinary person.

“Okay…” Kotoko Iwanaga nodded slightly, but in her heart she was sure she hadn’t made a mistake. One of the other party did indeed have telepathic abilities, and it was most likely the pink-haired boy with antennae on his head on the right.

"Then can you tell me the purpose of your visit here..." Hoshino Gokawa's question was not meant to be meaningful; it was just the surface meaning.

"It's like this... I'm here to investigate whether the so-called new world is real for some yokai I know, or you can consider my actions as a pioneer." Iwanaga Kotoko, sensing from the other person's tone that this place seemed to be his territory, kept pondering the role the boy on her left was playing in this city as she spoke.

"Hmm... If you're looking for that, you can go deep into the first alleyway at the city entrance. That's where the new world you're looking for is." Hoshino Gokawa didn't hesitate to tell her the destination directly. Since she was a mystic, he would just follow the mystic's approach.

"Oh! Is that place!" Since she had only recently become the princess of the supernatural beings, Kotoko Iwanaga was not very well-informed about certain sources of information.

“Hmm… Just use the power you have to touch it when you reach the deepest part.” Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly to indicate that she hadn’t misheard.

"I see... I understand! Thank you for letting me know." With that, Kotoko Iwanaga stood up, seemingly intending to leave.

"Oh! My apologies! I'm sorry... May I ask your names?" Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she slightly lifted her skirt and apologized to them like a lady, before asking for their names.

"...I feel like this move is a strategic retreat." If it were anyone else, Hoshino Gokawa wouldn't think so much, but the problem is that the other party is Iwanaga Kotoko, so it's a bit hard to say. After all, this experienced driver has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, so it's really hard to say what will happen.

However, Hoshino Gokawa eventually revealed his name, because he felt it didn't matter if the other party knew. Surely Iwanaga Kotoko wouldn't associate him with the creator of that space based on her first impression.

If that's really the case, he doesn't know what to say. If someone can know so much with just a little bit of information, then what difference does it make whether he says anything or not?

"Kusuo Saiki..." Upon hearing his companion announce his name, Kusuo Saiki didn't hesitate much and followed suit with his own name.

However, unlike Hoshino Gokawa, Saiki Kusuo used a favorability index to determine whether or not he should reveal his name.

"51!" That's a fairly average number...

"brush!"

"72!"

"..." Seeing how much the other person's favorability index had increased just from her name, Saiki Kusuo suddenly regretted telling her his name.

This index means that even if you don't greet the other person, they will greet you the moment they see you.

"74!"

Suddenly the value jumped up twice.

"..."

Kusuo Saiki couldn't understand why he had gained so much goodwill simply by removing the cause of the accident. His casual act seemed perfectly normal to outsiders.

At most, Kotoko Iwanaga saw me teleporting and using telekinesis, but I didn't do anything else. So why did my stats jump so high after they learned my name?

"75!"

The value jumped up again.

"..."

"Okay, Hoshino-kun, Saiki-kun, see you next time if fate allows." After receiving their names, Kotoko Iwanaga left, leaning on her cane.

"..." After watching the other party leave, Saiki Kusuo and Hoshino Gokawa exchanged glances and didn't say much. They found a secluded spot and teleported back to their original locations.

On the other side ------------------------------------

"Hmm... According to the saying 'birds of a feather flock together,' that Hoshino-kun from earlier must not be an ordinary person either." Iwanaga Kotoko, leaning on her cane, pondered the two people she had encountered earlier on the way back, since the person who said those words was clearly someone in the know.

"But a superpowered person... this is the first time I've ever seen one. I never expected him to look like that." It's clear that Kotoko Iwanaga has a very deep impression of Kusuo Saiki.

"If my reasoning is correct, that cigarette would have fallen into the truck carrying the trees if no one had stopped it. With the help of the wind, the truck would have eventually caught fire."

Hmm... his role should be that of a guardian of this city, or one of its guardians. "It's quite frightening that Kotoko Iwanaga managed to get a general idea of ​​Kusuo Saiki after only their first meeting."

“Perhaps this city is even more magical than I imagined.” Kotoko Iwanaga couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke, because she felt that coming to this place during her summer vacation was the right decision.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to see what this so-called new world is really like.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Water

"You're back! What's going on..." Izayoi Sakamaki, who had just finished dealing with Hoshino Gokawa's mother leaving, asked instinctively when she saw them suddenly appear in the room.

"It's nothing... It's just that Saiki Kusuo was being dealt with when someone saw him, and she wasn't an ordinary person either, so I went to talk to her a little." Because the pronunciations of "he," "she," "it," and "it" are different in Japanese, Izayoi Sakamaki was able to tell who they had encountered.

However, Ishi is not good at this. Although he can recognize Japanese now, he is not very familiar with some of the pronunciations, so he does not know which "she" Hoshino Gokawa is talking about.

"Hmm... Could it be that you've been harassed..." An hour had passed, and the other party was a woman, which made Izayoi Sakamaki unable to help but think in that direction.

Of course, there was another reason why he thought this way: he sometimes had a strange feeling about canaries.

"No..." Saiki Kusuo told them telepathically, his expression blank.

"It's a girl, probably younger than us, who claims to be the Goddess of Wisdom, but her strength seems very weak, although I can sense something quite special about her." This wasn't Saiki Kusuo speaking, but rather Hoshino Gokawa finishing the sentence for him.

"Gods... I remember killing a mountain god before, a really arrogant one." Upon hearing the word "gods," Izayoi Sakamaki couldn't help but recall his life a few years ago.

"Hmm... I don't know about other places, but to be honest, the gods in this country are a lot of dubious. You can basically call anyone with special powers a god, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying of eight million gods."

Therefore, there's really no need to have much reverence for the gods here, because you can't be sure if they were cannibals or some other weird thing before being called gods. This was Hoshino Gosaka's honest opinion at that moment, because the gods in this country are really worthless; almost anything can be called a god. Are these titles of gods really that worthless?

“That’s right!” Izayoi Sakamaki agreed with this statement. In this country, the difference between gods is really huge. Take the mountain god he encountered before, for example. He had such a great reputation, but he still managed to kick him to pieces.

"..." All Saiki Kusuo could say in response to their disrespectful remarks was...

It has nothing to do with him. What God can do, I can do too. What God cannot do, I can also do.

Putting aside everything else, just the ability to reverse time alone is enough to surpass 99% of the gods. How can you expect those gods to have any authority in his mind?

As for Ishi, his situation is a bit more complicated. He was abducted to a concentration camp run by human traffickers who had cannibalistic tendencies. He wasn't very clear about the god worshipped there, but his only impression of it was that the god was evil.

If God were not evil, how could He allow those guys to eat and kill people?

So, to sum it up in one sentence: ----------------------

None of the four people here believe in God, and they don't even have the slightest reverence for God.

"Hmm... speaking of which, when are your birthdays?" Hoshino Gokawa, suddenly remembering that his own birthday was approaching, subconsciously turned to them and asked.

"January 28th, but more than that date, I'd like to set it for June 9th, the day I met Canary." Izayoi Sakamaki's words sounded somewhat romantic.

“I’ll be here on August 16th…” That was Kusuo Saiki’s answer.

"I...I...I don't know." Ishi, who had never celebrated her birthday, shook her head slightly because they didn't have the concept of birthdays, so she didn't know when she was born.

"Oh wow! Nanxiong, you're actually younger than me! I was born on August 8th..."

Hoshino Gokawa felt an indescribable joy at finally hearing someone younger than himself. He didn't know why he was happy, since age was a trivial matter for them.
