A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"See you."

Hoshino Gokawa also said goodbye to the other party in the same way.

"Then let's just wander around for a bit."

After the white cat doll walked towards the castle and completely disappeared, Hoshino Gokawa began to wander aimlessly towards areas with many "people," looking for interesting things to see. After all, he hadn't forgotten that he needed to bring back a magical gadget for Ichihara Yuuko.

Of course, if he comes across something he likes, he'll take it home to collect. But first, he has to see what currency they accept. Japanese yen is fine, but if it's some other random stuff, it might be a bit difficult.

Meanwhile, inside the most magnificent palace in the capital.

"Sister, I've come to see you!"

The white cat doll that had separated from Hoshino Sagawa was now excitedly walking towards a blonde woman who looked eight parts like the princess of Amagi Brilliant Park, but was much older than her.

If there is no guess, then this should be the princess of this country.

"What are you doing here! Let's make love!"

Upon seeing her younger sister return from the real world, the princess couldn't help but call out her name in surprise.

"I missed my sister a bit! So I took the train back!"

The white cat doll also happily stepped forward and hugged the other, but because she was in fairy form, the princess looked smaller than her sister at this moment.

After embracing for almost a minute, the two separated again. Then, the white cat doll casually rummaged through its furry body and pulled out a bag that looked quite expensive.

"Sister! This is a gift I brought back from the real world! Do you like it?"

"I like it. I like anything that AiAiLa gives me."

Upon hearing this, the princess couldn't help but purse her reddened lips and reveal a very elegant smile.

Chapter 117 Harvest

"Thirty yen for ten pain-inducing bullets, that's really..."

After wandering aimlessly, Hoshino Gokawa eventually found himself at what seemed to be the place where Sento Isuzu bought the magic bullet in the original story, also known as the 100-yen shop.

In a sense, it's almost the same as a modern-day dollar store; you take whatever you want and pay at the counter.

Besides these everyday firearms...

That's right, it's an everyday item! I don't know how this thing got classified as an everyday item!

Could it be that most of the women here are like Sento Isuzu, who would shoot their husbands if they didn't like them?

If that's the case, Hoshino Gokawa can only be described as having abundant martial virtue. Of course, it could also be a daily item for practicing his marksmanship. After all, judging from the overall militaristic nature of the capital, this country may not be so peaceful, just like the rampaging dragon in the original work.

The total price of the Bagua amulet, including tax, is 1,080 yen.

"..."

Judging from the first two characters, "Hoshino Gokawa," it's easy to guess where this thing comes from. As for its function, you'll have to look at the packaging on the back.

"Wearing this amulet will make people on earth see you as one of them, but please note! Some amulets may be defective! If you find that the amulet is hot, please discard it immediately! Because this amulet may explode!"

Therefore, please purchase this amulet with caution, and if you must buy it, please try to purchase it from a reputable magic item store.

"Heh...it's interesting."

Looking at the series of introductions that followed, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but chuckle, though not loudly, so the other customers nearby didn't pay him any attention.

Although it was somewhat interesting, Hoshino Gokawa didn't want to buy it. After all, he didn't really want the thing he bought to suddenly explode or something, so he had to pass on it.

Hoshino Gokawa spent most of the following time in this 100-yen store, and when he came out, he had several very interesting things in his hands.

One is a magic sword that appears to emit light waves but is actually fireworks.

Secondly, it is a fruit that encourages people to speak the truth continuously.

Thirdly, there was a smoothbore gun similar to the Isuzu, but in black, and I also bought some random, cheap bullets, since I didn't actually use it for fighting, just for fun.

As for the fourth one, it's more important that he's going to give Yuuko Ichihara a magical item, an amulet that can block damage. Its energy is generated by the positive energy emotions generated by the wearer, which is the power of the soul.

After stuffing these things into his "four-dimensional pocket," Hoshino Gokawa planned to make a run for it. However, before he could leave, there was one more thing he had to do: transfer the curse to the king.

As for who it is, there's basically no need to look; the one sitting on the throne is definitely it.

"brush!"

Hoshino Satoru, who instantly moved the cursed doll in his home to his hand, did nothing else, yet the curse was already upon the king at that moment.

Once the curse landed on the king, Hoshino Gokawa decided not to pay any more attention to what happened next and simply teleported away.

As for what would happen next, everyone basically had a idea. Before long, some nobles from this magical kingdom arrived in the capital to greet the king.

In a sense, it's actually quite unsolvable. After all, if they had been able to lift the curse back then, they wouldn't have allowed their princess to stay at Amagi Radiant Amusement Park to recuperate.

Therefore, the only thing the king can do left is to find the next successor of Red Maple Paradise as soon as possible. In other words, the princess of Amagi Radiant Park is probably going home.

Of course, this is on the premise that they know the curse on the princess has been transferred to the king.

Meanwhile, inside Yuuko Ichihara's shop---------------------------------

“Hoshino… can you tell me why you transferred the curse onto that king?”

Lying on the soft sofa, sipping her wine, Yuko Ichihara couldn't help but look up curiously at Hoshino Satoru, who had placed the amulet on the table in front of him.

"It's nothing, I just felt it was better to settle scores and grievances, so I transferred the curse to her father. I won't interfere in anything else."

At this moment, Hoshino Gokawa was indeed thinking this way. Whether the princess agreed or not was irrelevant to him, because this was the most accurate judgment he could make from a third-party perspective.

After all, he hadn't done anything except cast the curse, and besides, the king might not necessarily die. Since the princess could recuperate, why couldn't he go and recuperate as well?

Perhaps something completely unexpected will happen when the king and that magician meet again by chance.

"Yeah……"

Yuuko Ichihara, who was murmuring to herself, seemed to have seen a rather interesting future as well, and her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. Therefore, she didn't explain anything further.

"Well then, Miss Yuko, I'll be going now. I'll come again if I have the chance in the future."

Since it was nearly dusk when he returned, Hoshino Gokawa didn't want to linger too long and miss dinner.

Bye-bye, come visit again when you have time.

Yuko Ichihara waved goodbye and watched Hoshino Gokawa leave with a faint smile.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

"Didn't you go to the amusement park yesterday?! Why did it suddenly turn into a magic kingdom?!"

When Saiki Kusuo, sitting in his seat, heard Hoshino Gogawa recount his experience from the previous day, he couldn't help but let out a rather shocked sound in the other's mind.

Because he never expected that Hoshino Gokawa, who was supposed to go to the amusement park, would end up going to the magic kingdom!

If he had known it was a magic kingdom, he would have gone with them!

After all, amusement parks are boring, but magic kingdoms are fun!

And since it's a magical kingdom, there must be some desserts that I've never eaten before.

"Well... the reason is actually quite complicated. In short, you just need to know that I went to the Magic Kingdom. If you want to go, I can send you the spatial coordinates."

Hoshino Gokawa, who had already recorded the location of Red Maple Castle, said this.

"Ok!"

The location of Red Maple Castle appeared in Saiki Kusuo's mind the next moment.

"A magical kingdom nestled between the ocean and the land—it's hidden so well!"

"Well... but they do have some industries involved in human society, such as those that use the name Red Maple."

Chapter 118 "Blizzard"

Because elementary schools in Japan are divided into three semesters, the school term in each semester is relatively short.

It's only been a little over three months since Hoshino and Satoru went to school and they're already going on winter break again...

However, because this country has three semesters, the winter break is quite short compared to a certain large Eastern country, lasting only about half a month.

……

What are your plans for this winter break, Nanxiong?

Hoshino Satoru took a mechanical pencil and twirled it aimlessly. He then listlessly turned to Saiki Kusuo beside him and asked a question. It was clear that he was really bored at the moment, or rather, no one had bothered him lately, which made him extremely bored, much like an ordinary elementary school student.

As for school bullying, he had already gotten the authorities to deal with it by messing things up last semester; otherwise, he might have been able to spend his days hanging out with delinquents.

"Hmm... I might visit my grandparents, but I might also just stay home playing games and reading comics."

Saiki Kusuo, who had no complaints about the peaceful days, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and then used telepathy to convey his meaning to the other party.

"Really... To be honest, I don't know what to do this winter break. I'm not in the mood to continue the plans I didn't finish during the summer break. I feel that just building is too boring. If there are any treasures to dig up inside, I'd be quite interested."

Even though ordinary gold and silver jewelry is useless to him, Hoshino Gokawa actually hopes to have a more interesting adventure, the kind with lots of deadly traps.

"Treasure..."

Kusuo Saiki didn't say much about Hoshino Gogawa's idea, because places like treasure troves are usually full of messy spider webs and insects, so to be honest, Kusuo Saiki wasn't very willing to go.

After all, he wasn't sure if he would encounter insects there that were even more terrifying and disgusting than cockroaches.

Hoshino Gokawa, who didn't get a reply from Saiki Kusuo, didn't seem to care much and turned his head back to think about how to arrange his winter vacation.

Playing computer games for half a month?

forget it……

Didn't he play enough games in his past life? Besides, it's 2011 now, and games in this era aren't as fun as they were in his past life, so it's impossible for him to play for half a month.

"Tsk... I don't want to think about it anymore, I'll just see when the time comes..."

Hoshino Gokawa, having chosen to give up thinking, found himself on the first day of winter break in the blink of an eye.

"Due to the large amount of cold air brought to our country by the strong typhoon in the Pacific Ocean, the weather will be extremely blizzard-like for the next week. Therefore, all citizens are advised to prepare various cold-weather gear and high-calorie food at home."

To avoid situations where supplies are insufficient when roads are congested.

"..."

After glancing at the news on TV and then at the howling cold wind outside, Hoshino Gokawa was at a loss for words.

Thanks to this sudden blizzard, he will basically be able to stay at home this winter break.

As for dispelling it, to be honest, he didn't think it was necessary. After all, he wasn't the only extraordinary being in this country. If the blizzard were to cause any major damage, they would definitely take action, and he wouldn't be needed at all.

It's fair to say that Hoshino Gokawa doesn't care about anything else in the city except for the immortal organization he destroyed before, since they were the ones who provoked him first.

"Ugh! Is it going to snow heavily? I need to hurry to the supermarket to stock up on groceries! We're running low on food at home!"

Hoshino Sakurako, who was also surprised to see that a heavy snowstorm was about to begin, stood up and went into the room to get money and a special shopping basket.

"Mom, let me come too. It's too much of a strain for me to carry you alone."

Seeing that Hoshino Sakurako was going to buy groceries, and since he happened to be free, Hoshino Gokawa decided to go with her.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work! Mom will make you fried chicken nuggets when you get back!"

Hoshino Sakurako did not refuse when she heard that her son wanted to go with her, but nodded in agreement.

Then Hoshino Gokawa went out to the convenience store with his mother to buy things.

In a sense, the convenience stores in this country sell a fairly complete range of products.

Perhaps due to the same news about the emergency, the number of people shopping at convenience stores is now twice as high as usual for this time of day, and the number continues to rise.

Fortunately, Hoshino Sakurako arrived immediately after seeing the news, so she luckily avoided the crowds and other hassles of shopping.

“Welcome next time!”

Hoshino Satoru, carrying several large bags effortlessly, walked out of the convenience store with his mother amidst the astonished gazes of other customers.

As soon as he stepped out, he felt a strong wind. As for why it wasn't a cold wind? That's because his constitution made him completely immune to this kind of cold!

Of course, his immunity did not mean that his mother was immune. Therefore, when the strong wind blew, Hoshino Gokawa used his ability to filter it for his mother. She could feel the wind, but it was not as strong as it was for others.

"Wuchuan, let's hurry back! If we delay any longer, the road will become difficult to travel!"

Looking up at the sky, which was now completely obscured by dark clouds, Hoshino Sakurako subconsciously turned to her son and said something.

"Um……"
