A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Once the hero saves the world, they immediately demote him to a criminal or something, and then send people to hunt him down and kill him to eliminate any possibility of him threatening their domestic status, etc.

But there's one thing Hoshino Gosaka really wants to know: didn't this magician ever consider that the other party might back out and gang up on him?!

You know, whether it's royalty in anime or ancient royalty in real life, they're all masters of double-dealing! How can you believe that?! This isn't a fairy tale! Or have you been reading too many fairy tales to think a king would marry his daughter to you?!

If it were Hoshino Gogawa, he would have to observe carefully before considering whether to save the country, since who knows if the country you save is an ingrate?

The reason the dragon attacked them might be because they stole dragon eggs or baby dragons; otherwise, why would the dragon bother to attack them?

Isn't it better to get a good long sleep than to beat you all up?!

Anyway, fairies aren't just innocently kind; they can also be innocently cruel.

Just like those few scumbags in the Type-Moon universe, they're so scumbags they don't even realize it themselves.

Back to the main topic -----------------------------

Holding a doll the size of a thermos, Hoshino Gokawa walked out of the amusement park slowly under the watchful eyes of the security guards. Then, he randomly found a place and teleported to his front door. Of course, he shielded the surrounding space before teleporting to avoid passersby seeing him and calling the police.

Chapter 115 Meeting Again

Since it was already close to afternoon when Hoshino Gogawa returned, he was too lazy to go to the orphanage again. Besides, with Saiki Kusuo, Sakamaki Izayoi, and Ishi there, what could possibly happen?

Surely there aren't some gangsters coming to collect protection money?! If there really were, he could only say it was strange, since he hadn't seen such a profession in the city since he wiped it out in his second year of high school!

However, not going there doesn't mean he's gone out. After all, he still needs to find out where Red Maple Paradise is. But Hoshino Gokawa doesn't want to bother Saiki Kusuo, so he decides to find someone else who definitely knows about this.

Besides, I haven't visited her in a long time!

Transition------------------------------------

"Crack!"

Hoshino Satoru, having turned his gaze away from the ever-blooming cherry blossom tree, instinctively looked over when he heard the door inside being pushed open.

Then he saw a man with a happy expression come out. Although Hoshino Gogawa didn't know what the man had obtained, he felt that he probably wouldn't be happy for long, since Ichihara Yuuko's things were not so easy to take.

You might give more than you receive!

"Hey! Long time no see!"

As Hoshino Gokawa walked past the man to the doorway, he instinctively raised his hand to greet Xiao Quan and Xiao Duo when he saw them coming out of the room where Ichihara Yuuko usually stayed.

"Hoshino-san is here! Hoshino-san is here!"

When Xiao Quan and Xiao Duo saw Hoshino Gokawa arrive, they immediately started dancing with joy, clearly hoping he would come back to visit again.

There's just one thing Hoshino Gokawa wants to say: could you please change that embarrassing way of addressing Hoshino-kun?

Hoshino Gokawa didn't feel uncomfortable being called that in his regular class, but it was different when the blue-haired and pink-haired people in front of him said it.

Although she knew they meant no harm, Hoshino Gokawa felt a strange sense of shame, unsure whether it was her own words or Yuuko Ichihara's instructions.

"Xiao Quan, Xiao Duo, is Miss Yuuko here?"

"Here! Here!"

Upon hearing the question about Ichihara Yuuko, Xiaoquan and Xiaoduo stood on the left and right sides respectively, like traffic police, and moved inwards.

"Oh, thank you!"

Hoshino Gokawa knew that Ichihara Yuuko was there, but out of politeness, he asked first before going in.

slap... slap...

Amidst the rhythmic footsteps, Hoshino Gokawa soon met Ichihara Yuuko, whom he hadn't seen for many months.

"Oh! What a rare guest! What brings you here to see me today..."

Yuko Ichihara, who was unusually not smoking her big pipe today, subconsciously said something when she saw Gosho Hoshino.

"Um... I'd like to ask you for directions, Miss Yuko."

"where……"

"Red Maple Paradise is a magical kingdom."

"Ok, I know."

After only a few seconds of contemplation, Yuko Ichihara had the answer the other party wanted.

"So what do I need to give to find out this location?"

Because of the rules at Ichihara Yuuko's place, Hoshino Gokawa first inquired about the price he would have to pay.

"If it's just this one location, then you only need to bring me any magical little item from the area."

Although they still charge for things, the price is much higher than before, as if they gave us a discount.

"No problem, Ms. Yuko."

Upon hearing that all he wanted was a magical item, Hoshino Gokawa agreed without hesitation. So what if he didn't have the money to buy it? He was good at copying and pasting!

At worst, I'll just steal the original, make a copy, and return it!

"So this is the location..."

From platforms 11 and 12 of Yokohama Station on the JR Toyoko Line, you can see the train heading to Autumn Foliage Park, no matter where you wait.

"...Platform 9¾ in Harry Potter!"

Upon hearing the other party mention such a location, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but subconsciously think of that very famous movie.

"The principle is similar to that..."

Yuko Ichihara, who also knew about the Harry Potter movies, nodded slightly.

"It really is……"

Hoshino Gokawa was momentarily speechless, and he even had reason to suspect that the operation of this magical kingdom was actually modeled after Harry Potter.

Then a while later--------------------------------

Hoshino Gogawa, having finished his transaction with Ichihara Yuuko, appeared near the platform in an instant. Due to the platform's inherent concealment, no one around him reacted to his appearance.

"Is this it..."

Unsure how long it would take for the train to reach Red Maple Paradise, Hoshino Gogawa decided to wait on a nearby bench. Coincidentally, he wasn't the only one waiting for this train.

"Hey there! Hello! You're going to Red Maple Castle too!"

A white doll that looked almost like a cat, located one seat away from Hoshino Gokawa, spoke.

"Um……"

Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly to indicate that he or she hadn't made a mistake. Because the appearance and voice of these dolls were so deceptive, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't determine whether these guys' human forms were male or female.

Didn't you see that all the pink Pomeranians at Amagi Brilliant Park are male?

"You don't seem very enthusiastic? Don't you like talking?"

I don't know why, but even though it was only our first meeting, this guy was so outgoing. Even if Hoshino Gokawa only responded with a single word or said he didn't know, the other guy would chatter on and on.

However, Hoshino Gokawa wasn't bothered by this, because he learned a lot of information from the other party.

Besides the magical kingdom of Red Maple Paradise, there are also the dream kingdom of Regnum Somni, the animal republic of Politia, the sword and magic kingdom of Huberut, and all sorts of other chaotic kingdoms.

Simply put, there is another vast world beneath the surface of this planet, somewhat like the inner Earth.

To be honest, Hoshino Gokawa was very curious about how the world had developed so peacefully into what it is today.

With such a chaotic mix of power, size, and race, how exactly do humans manage to maintain a world where ordinary people on the surface perceive it as free of magic?

Based on their current strength alone, they are capable of waging several world wars.

Even Hoshino Gokawa had some suspicions that the two previous world wars were actually influenced by extraordinary forces and individuals, who in turn determined the future course of the world.

Chapter 116 Red Maple City

"Beep...beep..."

After listening to the white cat doll chatter for a while, a train with a fairytale-like style slowly appeared before Hoshino Gokawa.

how to say……

It has a similar style to Amagi Brilliant Park, and everything looks cute and adorable.

"Oh! The car's here!"

Upon seeing the white cat plush toy arrive by train, the toy stood up and said something that seemed to be a reminder to Hoshino Gokawa, who was sitting next to her.

"Um……"

He nodded in acceptance of the other person's friendly reminder, then got up and followed behind the other person toward the train.

However, since he had teleported there directly, Hoshino Gokawa was unaware of the train's operating mode, whether there was a conductor charging for the train or whether the train was simply free.

Surely it can't be that it's integrated with the B-card entry system outside, right? If that's the case, then in a sense, my behavior would be considered fare evasion.

Of course, fare evasion is no big deal. After all, if he had to pay for it himself, he would probably have to pay a large fine to the local agricultural association.

After all, she could transport fruit from abroad to the welfare home and her own home anytime, anywhere.

Inside the train------------------------

"They all look perfectly normal."

Hoshino Gokawa, upon entering the train, glanced around and found that it was basically the same style as an ordinary train, with nothing particularly outstanding.

But if you really want to find something unusual, you'll probably have to focus on the passengers, since the biggest oddity here is actually them—some are humanoid, others are doll-like.

"Young man! It's here! It's here!"

The white cat doll, who had entered before Hoshino Gokawa, sat down near the door and then started beckoning to him.

To be honest, there's only one word to describe a guy like Hoshino Satoru: "socially anxious," or more accurately, a social terrorist. He can chat with almost anyone.

Because of the other party's enthusiasm, Hoshino Gokawa found it difficult to refuse, so he could only slowly sit down next to him and continue listening to him talk about Red Maple Paradise or his family.

But for some reason, Hoshino Gokawa found it a bit strange that the other party's information seemed to be explaining the magical world to someone who had never heard of it before, because the white cat doll was explaining it in too much detail!

"Is it possible..."

Looking at the white cat doll in front of him, who was rambling on and on, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but wonder if the other person knew that he was not a resident of the Magic Kingdom.

If the other party really knows this, then the only way they can think of to expose themselves is that they don't have that thing called soul power, or you could say it's some kind of condensation of positive emotions.

However, even if he guessed it, there was no need to point it out, since the other party was helping him expand his worldview in ways he didn't know.

Wow... Wow...

Just as Hoshino Gokawa was listening to the other person's conversation, the "outside" suddenly went dark.

However, this darkness lasted only a few seconds before being replaced by the reappearing light. When Hoshino Gogawa looked outside again, the outside world had become a completely new world that he did not know.

Even though there's no sun overhead, it's as bright and warm as daytime here.

"It must be the effect of soul power..."

Having seen similar settings in other anime and novels, Hoshino Gokawa could only initially categorize it as soul power.

"We've arrived at Red Maple Castle!"

Then, while Hoshino Gokawa was pondering some other things, the white cat doll next to him suddenly shouted excitedly.

Hearing this from the other party, Hoshino Gokawa subconsciously shifted his attention back to the distant Red Maple Castle.

how to say……

It's similar to the Red Maple Castle enlarged by Amagi Radiant Park, but with one difference: they are surrounded by a group of residences and a rather magnificent stone wall outside the residences.

On the right side of the city wall is a rather steep cliff; it was probably there that the magician fell.

Furthermore, Hoshino Gokawa could sense a very peculiar power enveloping the capital city, which he could easily dispel if he wished.

He simply wouldn't do it himself. After all, he had no grudge against the residents here, so why should he bother them? If he were to cause trouble, he would only bother the king of this country. Unless some idiot in this country provokes him, both sides can basically get through the day peacefully.

"call……"

Finally, the train stopped inside Red Maple Castle, not far from the city gate.

"Well then, young man, I hope you have a great time in Red Maple City! Alright, I have to go now!"

The white cat plush toy, now on the platform outside the train, turned around and waved its rather short and stubby little hands at Hoshino Gokawa to say goodbye.
