Chapter 155 The School Exploded

Sunday noon

"Um... Wuchuan, your school just called to say that the entire teaching building collapsed for unknown reasons and is currently being rebuilt. It will probably be completed by the Monday after next."

"...That means we get an extra week off."

When Hoshino Gokawa came out of the room, he was a little confused after learning about the incident, wondering why the school had suddenly exploded.

However, he immediately realized that there seemed to be some strange things in other places besides the city he was protecting, and he felt relieved. Maybe his new school was destroyed by those things.

As for Hoshino Gokawa's opinion on this, he can only say that he fulfilled his childhood dream of his school being blown up, because that way he could have a long vacation to play.

Of course, such a holiday is unnecessary for Hoshino Gogawa now, because as an adult, he understands that school days are actually the most fulfilling time that most ordinary people can have.

After all, you can only get together with a group of friends to chat and play games with when you are in school. Once you enter the workforce, everyone will go their separate ways and you won't be able to play together anymore because everyone has to work hard for their own lives.

Okay, let's get back to the main topic!

"Aren't you happy?!"

Seeing her son's very indifferent expression, Hoshino Sakurako couldn't help but ask him a question out of curiosity, since sometimes she didn't quite understand Hoshino Gokawa's thoughts either.

"It's alright, the school collapsed, but it's not like it can't be repaired. Besides, with my learning ability, I don't need to worry about falling behind in my studies." Hoshino Gokawa said that it was nothing, since these things were minor issues for him at the moment.

"Hmm... Wuchuan, do you think there might be supernatural forces involved here?"

Having witnessed Hoshino Gogawa's power, which altered the worldview of ordinary people, Hoshino Sakurako subconsciously thought of this matter.

"possible……"

After a brief conversation with his mother, Hoshino Gokawa went back to his room to play computer games to pass the time.

Meanwhile, the private Jixiang Middle School--------------------

"I'm so sorry! I didn't expect something like this to happen so soon after the start of the semester!"

A slightly plump middle-aged principal, dressed in a black suit and a blue and white bow tie, was looking rather embarrassed at the white-haired but very robust old butler next to him who was directing a group of people to rebuild the school building.

"No! It's alright, it's what we should do. After all, this is the young lady's school, and besides, we haven't even expressed our gratitude to your school yet."

The old butler's implication seemed to be that they hadn't yet sponsored the school, and rebuilding it would be a good opportunity.

"I'm so sorry."

What could the principal of Jixiang Private Middle School say in this situation? Could he refuse? You know, refusing would cost a lot of money, and even private schools don't operate like that.

Moreover, they couldn't find such a skilled engineering team to guarantee rebuilding a teaching building in a week.

"Boom... Boom..."

Then some construction machinery started working, clearing away the remaining buildings, laying foundations according to the blueprints, and then building upwards step by step. That's roughly the process.

As for the items that students and teachers left at the school, they will try their best to restore them exactly as they were.

However, since it's only the beginning of the semester and they haven't done much homework yet, otherwise they might be heartbroken when they return to school.

However, there is one thing that most people here probably don't know: this incident actually involves third-kind contact.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building not far away, two figures were talking.

"Oh dear...oh dear...I didn't expect to cause such a commotion. Luckily, no one was hurt. You know what I mean..." A boy wearing a white round hat and a purple jacket looked down at the yellow alien that looked like a frog and said.

"Hmph~ You're such a fool for saving the invaders."

Because of Keroro's mistake, the entire group was scattered, so this member is still unaware that headquarters has stopped its invasion; otherwise, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

Of course, it's possible that headquarters didn't even realize someone was missing. Otherwise, they would have informed the Keroro team about the situation while sending compensation to Hoshino Gokawa, to prevent their actions from causing what was originally a stable situation to deteriorate into destruction.

"Oh, really..."

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired youth couldn't help but smile. Then, seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to leave, he asked again.

"You don't seem to have anywhere to go. Why don't you come to my house?"

"Tsk...this is really troublesome."

He said that, but his body language betrayed him, and he stopped, seemingly intending to accept his suggestion to stay at the other party's house.

"Humph……"

Seeing his expression, the silver-haired boy couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. It seemed he had figured out the other's personality. He really was a proud and arrogant guy.

Then, before descending the rooftop...

"What's your name? My name is Saburo Mutsumi, and I'm a third-year student at the private Kichijo Junior High School."

"Sergeant Kururu, from the Space Invasion Force's Special Vanguard Unit, Planet 58 in the Gamma Nebula."

……

Then the perspective shifts to the Nishizawa family's mansion.

"Tamama, is this your companion?"

Upon receiving the message from Pol, Nishizawa Momoka placed a photo on her phone in front of a Kron alien whose tail resembled a tadpole.

"That's right! Momo! This is Sergeant Kururu! He's a member of our squad!"

Tamama, who was happily munching on snacks, nodded instinctively when she saw Kururu's familiar round glasses on the screen.

"Is that so? Then does Tamama want to see him...?"

Having confirmed that her guess was correct, Nishizawa Momoka asked again.

"Well... we did meet, but Sergeant Kururu and we don't get along very well, and he has a really bad sense of humor. Even Sergeant and the others have been pranked by Sergeant Kururu many times."

Tamama naturally hoped to reunite with his comrades who had been separated, but the first person he wanted to see was Sergeant-in-Chief, not any of the other squad members.

After all, his idol is Sergeant Keroro!

"I see. In that case, let's not meet for now."

"Okay, Xiaotao!"

Chapter 156 Help

"I'll go out for a walk. It's pretty boring sitting at home playing computer games all day."

Three days after the school building was gone, Hoshino Gokawa, who was bored playing computer games at home all day, finally decided to go out for a walk. He felt that if he continued like this, he would turn back into the otaku he was in his previous life, so he had to go out and wander around.

As for where to wander off to...

Then let's just go wherever we end up, since Hoshino Gokawa doesn't know where he should go either.

He had only been out of the house for a short time when he heard Kotoko Iwanaga's cry for help after many days.

"Hmm? She's looking for me."

Seeing that he had something to do, Hoshino Gokawa immediately switched his gaze to that direction with his right eye.

In a secluded cave on the other side...

"Your Highness! Please leave quickly! We'll hold them off here!"

A monster that looks like a stone lion but is covered in fur is standing in front of Kotoko Iwanaga, creating a protective shield for her. Outside the shield, some purplish-black things that look like miasma or death energy are floating around.

"That's right! Your Highness! Please leave here quickly, and we will hold them off!"

A skeleton wielding a katana and wearing samurai armor, who was also guarding Kotoko Iwanaga, casually severed the tentacles that were slowly seeping in from the outside while speaking.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I won't run away, because I just called for help, and he'll be here soon..."

Before Kotoko Iwanaga could finish speaking, the surrounding miasma and tentacles were instantly cleared away, leaving only a small red stone lying conspicuously on the ground in the distance.

"!!!"

The two monsters were shocked to see the deformed creature vanish in an instant, because they hadn't noticed how it disappeared at all.

"Is there anything else you need help with?"

Just seconds after the monster disappeared, Iwanaga Kotoko heard Hoshino Satoru's very familiar voice.

"No need, you've already helped a lot. Although I've seen it more than once, I can't help but be amazed every time. Sometimes I really want to know where your limits are."

Kotoko Iwanaga, who had collaborated with him more than once before April, genuinely felt that if this guy wanted to, he might be able to turn the whole world upside down.

No matter how terrifying the guy he was facing was, he could never withstand Hoshino Gokawa's first strike. It felt like even the most powerful guys were nothing but minnows in front of him.

Not to mention that the other side also created a world in their city for the people of the other world to live in, because according to the "people" inside, so far no one has been able to detect the boundary of that world, as if it really has no end.

As for the actual situation, the land itself was expanding. No one knows how Hoshino Gokawa and Saiki Kusuo managed to create such an outrageous space.

What's even more amazing is that you can feel the flow of time inside. Day and night change randomly just like outside, and the plants inside will also photosynthesize during the day-night cycle.

In other words, the sunlight and moonlight shining down from the sky are real and tangible, unlike things like electric lights in human society.

"Who knows..."

Hoshino Gokawa couldn't judge his own limits either, because he had never entered a berserk state, so he didn't know how strong Kalirus would be in a reckless state, but he imagined it would be incredibly powerful.

"But then again, I feel like that thing looks kind of familiar."

Because of his superhuman memory, Hoshino Gokawa immediately remembered seeing that thing on some big guy last year the moment he saw it.

"You've seen it?! This thing is called the Killing Stone. It's the crystallization of the resentment left behind by a great demon named Hagoromo Gitsune, one of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, after its death a thousand years ago! Even just a fragment can instantly give a demon the power to contend with a great demon."

Judging from Kotoko Iwanaga's serious expression, this thing is definitely not an ordinary object.

only……

"Oh... what kind of trash is that?"

Upon learning what it was, Hoshino Gokawa instantly lost interest. After all, he knew where Hagoromo Gitsune came from—it was from "Nurarihyon no Mago"—and judging from its performance in the series, he didn't think it could be that powerful, let alone its remains after death.

After all, if someone can be beaten to death while still alive, how much power can you expect from what this person left behind? At most, it'll only make you about the same as when she was alive.

Of course, this is only under the condition that there is a choice. If there is no choice, then the Killing Stone is indeed the fastest way for you to become stronger, provided that you don't force this thing to dominate you, since things after death will basically carry some resentment or something.

Back to the main topic...

"That may be true for you, but for youkai, the Killing Stone is indeed an invaluable treasure."

Kotoko Iwanaga couldn't refute Hoshino Gogawa's assessment because she knew that even if Hagoromo Gitsune were resurrected, she wouldn't be able to defeat him.

As for how long Hagoromo Gitsune can hold out against Hoshino Gogawa, that depends on how long the other party wants to play with Hagoromo Gitsune.

"Okay, then I won't bother you if there's nothing else. Just contact me the old way if anything comes up."

After saying that, Hoshino Gokawa stopped paying attention to Iwanaga Kotoko, leaving only three pairs of pupils of different sizes staring at each other.

"Your Highness...who was that just now...?"

The two yokai who had been watching Kotoko Iwanaga speak only dared to speak after they saw that the other's attention had turned to them.

"The reinforcements I just called, see? I didn't lie to you, did I?!"

When they asked about Hoshino Gokawa's identity, Iwanaga Kotoko seemed quite proud of it, even proudly raising her flat chest.

"As expected of the princess! She actually knows such an important person!"

Although they didn't know who the other party was, all they needed to know was that the other party was very strong and someone they couldn't afford to mess with; everything else was irrelevant.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. You guys quickly put that Killing Stone away so that no other demons can touch it! And when you're putting it away, be careful not to touch it! Otherwise, you'll end up like that guy just now, with your minds corrupted by the Killing Stone and turning into a puppet that only knows how to destroy!"

"Understood, Your Highness!"

Following Kotoko Iwanaga's instructions, the skeleton samurai walked to the Sesshō-seki and used their katana to lift it up, then slowly placed it into the small metal box they carried with them.

"Alright! Your Highness!"

"In that case, let's go."

After saying this, the three "people" turned and left the dark cave, leaving behind only the traces left by the large monster itself.

Chapter 157 Reunion (Can be skipped)

"Tsk... Looks like we need to find them quickly."

Kururu successfully contacted headquarters using his technical skills and learned why headquarters had retreated instead of launching a full-scale attack some time ago.
