A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"You mean the space parasites..."

After hearing what Hoshino Gokawa said, they soon realized what the other person was asking, so they tentatively asked.

"Cosmic Parasite".

Upon learning the true name of that enormous "mountain of flesh," Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, because the name subconsciously reminded him of another anime he had watched in his previous life, "Parasyte."

The difference between that parasite and the current cosmic parasite is just too great!

The former can be dealt with simply by firearms, while the latter is currently in a state where even Earth's advanced technology with a success rate of over 90% is helpless against it.

"According to the data, the space parasite is..."

Seeing that Hoshino Gokawa seemed unaware, Giroro stepped forward and explained the creature's background to him in detail.

"I see... Do you have a way to restore it?"

After learning the origin of that thing, Hoshino Gokawa asked them again if they had a way to save it.

"I am very sorry, Lord Hoshino Gokawa. At present, we only have medicine that prevents assimilation. As for the medicine Kururu that can restore them to their original state, it is still under development and will probably take a long time."

As he spoke, Giroro took out a box of small pills from his four-dimensional pocket and handed it to Hoshino Gogawa. To him, the pills looked almost identical to those sold in regular hospitals.

"Really……"

Upon receiving this reply, Hoshino Gokawa pondered for a moment before deciding what to do.

Meanwhile, in a conference room...

"Have you used all the money we've invested over the years as toilet paper to wipe your asses?!"

After rounds of attacks yielded little result, the finance minister, who specifically allocated funds to the military, could no longer hold out. Every year, they were spending a large sum of money on research into so-called new weapons.

The results of it……

But you told him that those so-called new weapons were completely ineffective against that "mountain of flesh," and if that's the case, why did they give the military so much money? It was all for nothing.

Of course, you can't blame the finance minister for his outburst. After all, if that terrifying monster hadn't been stopped, the entire Tokyo metropolis would have been destroyed, and the whole country would have been at risk of extinction. How could he not be anxious? How could he not go crazy?

The military, which was being criticized, was at a loss for words. Of course, this was because it was Japan. If it were a country across the sea, they probably wouldn't have internal conflicts at this critical moment, but would instead focus on finding a solution.

However, just as they were arguing, someone suddenly burst in to report the new changes that had just occurred.

"..."

The soldiers who were previously engaged in a fierce battle with the giant "mountain of flesh" all involuntarily put down their weapons and stared blankly at the "mountain of flesh" whose body was shrinking in the distance.

That's right! That "mountain of flesh" is shrinking continuously!

And in less than five minutes they were completely out of sight, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion, but their lost companions were able to say that what had just happened was not a hallucination.

Then we shifted our attention back to Hoshino Satoru.

"Well... that'll do."

At this moment, there is a transparent box in his palm, and the things inside the box are, without a doubt, the cosmic parasite that just disappeared and the individuals it split off from.

Perhaps because it had shrunk, Hoshino Gokawa no longer found the thing as disgusting as before, though it was only less disgusting.

"I'll keep this for now. Let me know when you've developed the antidote."

If it weren't for the fear of the creatures being assimilated by the other party, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble; I could have simply crushed it with a flick of my wrist.

"No problem! Lord Hoshino Sagawa! We will notify you as soon as Sergeant Kururu develops the antidote!"

"Hmm... then let's leave it at that."

Having received their affirmation, Hoshino Gokawa disappeared from the sight of these Kronians the moment he turned around. Of course, when he returned, he didn't forget to tell Iwanaga Kotoko that the matter was temporarily resolved.

Chapter 172 Elimination

"Nanxiong, you're no good. You fainted from being scared so easily. You need to practice more."

The morning after the space parasite caused a huge commotion, Hoshino Gokawa talked about it with Saiki Kusuo on their way to school, and casually teased him about his tolerance.

"Actually, I wasn't afraid of these things when I was a child. I even tried to squeeze them with my own hands. But I don't know why, as I grew up, I became a little afraid of those things that looked really messy."

Upon hearing this, Kusuo Saiki paused for a moment before speaking.

"Hmm... I think I understand."

Hoshino Gokawa seemed to understand why the other party was acting this way.

"Most people are fearless when they are young because of their ignorance, and they dare to try anything. But it's different when you grow up because you gradually develop likes and dislikes, and you also gradually develop other complex human emotions."

Therefore, when faced with the same things, you are unable to confront them with the same composure as you did when you were a child.

Therefore, in a sense, Kusuo Saiki's symptoms are actually quite normal, because most people are basically like this when they are young, fearless because of ignorance.

But it is precisely because of ignorance that parents and teachers need to help guide you, otherwise you will become a dangerous individual with human thinking. Most of the murderers in some movies are created in this way.

Of course, some of humanity's primal cruelty genes are also at play, and this cruel desire can indeed be suppressed, but there is a prerequisite: whether you are willing to do it.

Even if you outwardly accept it, you will eventually be unable to suppress your desires and do perverse things.

Back to the main topic...

"Hmm...that seems to be right."

After listening to Hoshino Gosakawa's explanation, Saiki Kusuo thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. He was ignorant when he was young, so he dared to do all sorts of audacious things. Moreover, he was actually more excessive than Hoshino Gosakawa in abusing his superpowers.

After all, Hoshino Gokawa in the past could only bully others with his fists at most. As for Saiki Kusuo, he was much more praiseworthy. He directly controlled the teacher's brain and made the other party add several zeros to his test paper. He also changed the hair color of everyone on this planet in a very willful way.

In short, the old Kusuo Saiki was actually a lawless guy, but luckily his parents were a bunch of clowns, otherwise he might be like Izayoi Sakamaki now, stuck in the lab and eventually losing his temper.

"In that case, perhaps I have a suggestion that might be of some use and could help you."

"what?"

"Delete the memories of insects from your mind, and you won't be afraid of them anymore."

"..."

Kusuo Saiki, who had expected the other party to offer some good advice, never imagined that they would come up with such a terrible idea: erasing the memories of the insects would mean...

Saiki Kusuo, who was about to complain, thought about it for a moment and realized that it might not be a bad idea. People are fearless because they are ignorant. If that's the case, then if he erased his memories of insects, would the insects be afraid of those things?

Even if it doesn't necessarily work, there's no harm in giving it a try, right?

and so……

"let me try……"

After communicating his thoughts to the other person through telepathy, Kusuo Saiki began to try this method, and the time it took him to erase the memory was less than three minutes.

"I'm ready."

"OK, let's test it out."

As he spoke, Hoshino Gokawa pulled out a hairy insect that looked extremely venomous from somewhere. Of course, "venomous" only meant relative to ordinary people. After all, they could drink this kind of poison without batting an eye, and it wouldn't even cause problems with chemicals like aqua regia or sulfuric acid.

"..."

Upon seeing the hairy worm in the other person's hand, Saiki Kusuo remained silent for a moment before ultimately choosing...

"No, I can't do it."

Even though he had already erased the memories from his mind, Kusuo Saiki still couldn't bring himself to touch it, not even to stroke its fur.

"Well, it seems that being afraid of this thing has become your instinct."

Hoshino Gokawa realized from Saiki Kusuo's actions that simply erasing his memories of the insect would probably be useless, so he casually tossed the insect back to its original location.

"seems like it……"

Kusuo Saiki did not refute this. Although he had lost his memory of the insect, he still dared not touch it like he did when he was a child.

"Since that's the case, you'll have to find another way to overcome it. I don't expect you to make much progress, I just hope you won't faint at a crucial moment next time."

Knowing that this thing is Saiki Kusuo's weakness, Hoshino Gokawa must help eliminate it, otherwise, if he fights with other unknown guys in the future, he might be defeated because of this weakness. After all, not everyone is the type to fight head-on; there will always be a few who use dirty tricks.

"Hmm... I'll look for another way."

Then, in the blink of an eye, we arrived at school.

“Wuchuan, I’ve already told my dad about what you told me. He said he’s willing to fully support me no matter what I do.”

Not long after he sat down, Hoshino Gokawa received the news from an excited Natsuki Subaru.

"Really? Then I congratulate you on becoming a blogger with millions of followers soon."

"Ha...ha...that's too exaggerated, but I'll try my best."

Upon hearing this congratulatory message, Subaru Natsuki felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but reach out and touch the back of his head.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Hoshino Gokawa with a serious expression and said...

"Wuchuan, did you see the news this morning?"

"What's wrong……"

The moment Hoshino Gokawa heard the other party suddenly mention the word "news," he subconsciously thought of what had happened yesterday. Could it be that the official handling of the cleanup was not done well and the news was leaked?

"This morning, news suddenly broke in the United States that they had discovered something that might be a UFO."

"...Really? So what was the result?"

"The result is that they are still investigating, and the specific details are not yet clear."

The answer that Natsuki Subaru gave at this moment was, in a sense, what Hoshino Gosakawa had expected, except for one thing he was unaware of.

The question is whether this news was created by the United States to cover up certain things within its own borders, or to help other countries cover up certain things.

Chapter 173 Sato Kazuma

"Peng!"

On his way back to the classroom after gym class, Natsuki Subaru was accidentally bumped into by a student who was looking down at a corner.

"Excuse me……"

The student who bumped into someone didn't even look up, said something, and then walked past Natsuki Subaru in the direction they had come from.

"It doesn't matter."

Natsuki Subaru didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, so he just said it casually. However, he didn't notice anything wrong with the student in front of him. But just because he didn't notice it didn't mean that Hoshino Gokawa didn't notice it either.

"Is this... a breakup?"

Because in the short time it took for the boy to bump into someone and move aside, Hoshino Gokawa noticed out of the corner of his eye that the other person's eyes were a little red, as if he wanted to cry but was holding back because the occasion was inappropriate.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him, since he doesn't know the other person and it's not appropriate for him to offer comfort.

"What's wrong? Is there something special about him...?"

Natsuki Subaru, noticing Hoshino Gokawa's shifting gaze, couldn't help but turn around and ask him curiously.

"It's nothing, I was just curious to take a look."

Hoshino Gokawa shook his head slightly, not wanting to say anything. After all, turning other people's sad stories into your own gossip is, frankly, a bad thing to do.

"Yeah……"

Subaru Natsuki didn't think too much about it.

However, Hoshino Gokawa was unaware that Saiki Kusuo's gaze was actually following the other person's body.

"Is it really that exaggerated...?"

Kusuo Saiki, who saw his classmate enter a toilet stall and then become withdrawn through his clairvoyance, was speechless for a moment, because he never imagined that romantic love could be so devastating.

It's just that his childhood sweetheart fell in love with someone else. The other person didn't use any malicious means; it was just a simple confession. Why can't he accept that?

Everyone changes every moment. You know, before Saiki Kusuo wore that mind-protecting ring, he heard countless malicious words. But for his classmate's current situation, it's already considered that things have ended peacefully without any major conflict.

If it were the malicious intent he had heard about before, he might not be able to guarantee that the other party would be kept in the dark for a while before getting beaten up and finding out.

Meanwhile, a boy named Kazuma Sato, sitting on a toilet seat in the restroom, was staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly oblivious to the sounds and smells coming from the next stall.

a long time……
