A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

And this is just the protection fee paid by that alien commercial street for one year. In other words, even without the compensation from the Kronians, he could become the richest person on Earth within a few years.

"Can I take this as you showing off your wealth to us...?"

Saiki Kusuo, sitting across from Hoshino Gokawa eating pizza, said expressionlessly.

"No, if any of you need it, I'll just give it all to you, no problem."

Hoshino Gokawa, who also had no interest in the money, knew what to do and turned to Izayoi Sakamaki and Ishi, who had come to eat with him.

"Don't look at me like that. It's true that the orphanage has a lot of expenses, but it's not that big that it needs that much money. Besides, are you saying that you don't trust our abilities?"

Izayoi Sakamaki wouldn't mind if it were just some small items, but this amount of money was out of the question, since he didn't want their friendship to be tainted by such things.

Meanwhile, Ishi, who was standing to the side, had also learned a lot about life and knowledge during his time at school, so he also rejected Hoshino Gokawa's suggestion.

"Okay, then I'll just leave it in the warehouse. Maybe I can start hoarding gold coins like the dragons in fantasy stories."

As he spoke, Hoshino Gokawa laughed, though of course he was joking, since he didn't like sleeping on disgusting currency.

O(∩_∩)O haha~

Several of his companions who heard him say this couldn't help but smile. Not far from them, a group of deliverymen were delivering pizzas to them on electric scooters. The location was undoubtedly Izayoi Sakamaki's orphanage.

"and many more!"

Then, while chatting with them, Hoshino Gokawa suddenly had an idea pop into his head.

"Hey! What do you guys think about using this money as a student loan? I don't need to go to school anyway, so why not use it to help those in need?"

Suddenly, Hoshino Gokawa seemed to have thought of something, so he glanced around at the three people sitting around him and said this.

"Hmm... this suggestion seems pretty good."

Thinking that some of his classmates might not come from well-off families, Kusuo Saiki nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Gosho Hoshino's suggestion.

"In that case, do you think I should start another company?"

"What the hell! Why did you suddenly switch the topic to starting a company?!"

Regarding Hoshino Gokawa's sudden change of thought, Izayoi Sakamaki couldn't help but speak up.

"I've been thinking about it, and most of society's troubles stem from poverty, and the reason most people are poor is because a small group of people don't want to share the benefits with the masses."

This creates a vicious cycle! The higher-ups get richer and the lower-downs get poorer! But I'm different! I don't need that much money, so I can give up all my interests without worry, since I won't be staying on this planet for long anyway.

Besides, Earth's currency can't be used in space, so what use would I have for so much of it?

It's quite unique in the world that a few junior high school students are discussing something that can affect the entire society.

As for the passersby, they couldn't hear what Hoshino Gokawa and the others were saying because they had turned on the mute function. However, judging from how many pizzas these middle school students bought when they came in earlier, they must be from wealthy families.

"But the problem is you're not even an adult yet! How can you start a company? Besides, if you're going to start a company, what do you plan to do?"

Kusuo Saiki was also puzzled by Hoshino Gokawa's idea.

"Hmm... games, I guess. Anyway, I'm not short of money, so I'll just throw money at making one AAA game after another. Besides, I quite enjoy playing games myself. My goal is to force a virtuous cycle in society, not a vicious one."

And as long as the company doesn't go public, everything inside will still be under our control; beyond that, I don't want to concern myself with anything else.

"Really... that sounds pretty good."

After careful consideration, they felt that this future seemed pretty good.

As for why no one asked about the possibility of someone resorting to underhanded tactics in the future.

Ha ha……

If there really were such a guy, Hoshino Satoru alone could show them why the flowers are so red, without needing anyone else.

I don't play dirty tricks, fine, but you actually did!

Tell me! Do you want to die?!

Chapter 193 Gold

"So, who do you plan to register this company with?"

Feeling he had almost finished eating, Saiki Kusuo put down the spoon he was using to eat his sundae and looked up at Hoshino Satoru.

"Hmm... my first thought is Miss Canary, because of everyone, she knows our situation best. But I'm not sure if she can manage it, since she already has an orphanage to take care of."

The ideal person would undoubtedly be a canary, but Hoshino Gosakawa wasn't sure if the other person had that much energy to manage. Even if the body could handle it, it didn't mean the mind could. If you really put someone's mind on work, they'd probably go crazy sooner or later.

"If we can't manage it, then we can only look for candidates elsewhere, or have my dad or your dad help us register."

For Hoshino Gokawa, the best option would be to let someone who knows them do it. However, if he asked his father to help register the company, he would probably have to reveal all the money he had earned. Otherwise, where would he get the money to start a company?

Similarly, the situation is similar for Kusuo Saiki's father. And there is a consequence to this: once their company becomes famous, their identities may be exposed, and if their apparent assets do not match the assets registered in the company, there could be serious problems.

Therefore, if you really want to start a company, you need to find someone capable and able to handle the low-level issues; at the very least, their identity must be impeccable.

"Hmm...maybe that guy can."

Suddenly, Kusuo Saiki thought of that annoying figure. But when he thought of that person, he remembered the things he had asked him to do before, and wondered how well the person was doing with them.

"Who?"

Izayoi Sakamaki, who was unaware that Kusuo Saiki had an older brother, instinctively turned her head toward him to ask.

"My older brother, Kusuke Saiki, might have a way to help us solve this problem."

A few minutes later----------------------------

"So that's how it is. I never expected you guys would want me to be the founder and legal representative of this company!"

"May I……"

"Of course! How could I possibly agree to my brother's request? Speaking of which, you two look like you've been through a lot, like an alien invasion or a parasite escaping from next door, or maybe even..."

"enough!"

Seeing that the other person was about to continue rambling on, Kusuo Saiki quickly interrupted him to prevent him from continuing to talk about other things.

Even so, the shock that Kusuke Saiki brought to Izayoi Sakamaki and Ishi was still very great, because it was the first time they had ever seen someone who could see them clearly in the light.

If Ishi was amazed, then Izayoi Sakamaki was annoyed, because she felt like she had no secrets from him, as if she were being dissected naked.

I think most people wouldn't like this feeling.

"Alright, since it's my brother's request, I won't say any more. I'll help you finalize everything about the company. By the way, how much start-up capital do you have?"

"Nearly 30 billion US dollars."

Hoshino Gokawa, who used his phone to convert the money the alien had given him, came up with this number.

"Oh my! This is really..."

Although he still had a smiling expression, you could sense his surprise from his words. After all, such a sum of money was no small amount; it could even be described as an astronomical figure.

This is why Kusuke Saiki felt a little embarrassed, because there was just too much money, and such a large amount of money, once used as registered capital, would inevitably attract investigations from various parties.

"If the US dollar doesn't work, we can exchange it for gold."

Although gold is not as valuable to various forces in the universe as it used to be, it is still a necessary material for some scientific research and its value has not depreciated too much. If one were to use their current funds to buy gold in the universe and bring it to Earth, its value would probably double.

In other words, if they didn't directly exchange the alien currency for US dollars, but instead exchanged it for gold and then for US dollars, they could obtain 90 billion US dollars.

Of course, at this point you might ask if someone would steal the wealth of a less advanced civilization by profiting from the price difference.

But the answer is no!

Do you think the Space Police are just sitting around doing nothing? You've only been doing this kind of illegal activity for a short time, and you might get caught soon enough, unless you're stronger than the Space Police. But if you were really stronger than the Space Police, why would you do such a stupid thing?

Why don't you just become the overlord of one of the universes?!

Simply put, the people who are qualified to do this job don't want to, while the people who want to do it lack the ability.

Of course, this price only applies to ordinary gold. If it were another type, the value would be much greater. Even if Hoshino Gokawa used all the money that alien gave him, he might not be able to buy a ton of that kind of gold. Of course, this does not include the compensation paid by the Kronians.

Even so, you should be able to roughly imagine how important this thing is in the universe.

"Hmm... give me a billion dollars and two tons of gold first."

Knowing how much countries value gold, Saiki Kusuke planned to use some gold as a stepping stone, since in the eyes of various countries, they would definitely prefer gold to two hundred million US dollars.

After all, money is essentially just a country's credit, but gold is different! Gold is a non-renewable resource that diminishes with each use! Naturally, the more the better!

As for whether Japan will tell Britain about this...

Ha! Who would be stupid enough to want to spit out the gold within their jurisdiction? On the contrary, they would help cover it up!

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kusuke Saiki should have helped them register the company.

"Speaking of which, I've almost finished what you asked me to do. I can come over and help you install it during the summer vacation."

"Thanks……"

Although he didn't particularly like his older brother, he felt it was only right to thank him since the other had helped him.

"You're welcome. It's my duty as an older brother. Well... I have something to do, so I'll hang up now. You can contact me if you have any questions."

"Um……"

The video call ended immediately, but Kusuo Saiki had no idea what kind of expression his brother made after he hung up.

"Hmph...Hmph...Nanxiong, your brother will give you a surprise next time we meet."

As he spoke in a low voice, Kusuke Saiki looked up at the latest creation he had developed behind him: a faceless robot made entirely of metal.

Chapter 194 Changes

“Speaking of which, I haven’t really had a chance to check on the people we rescued lately. How about we go and take a look when we have some free time?” Hoshino Gokawa, who had suddenly realized that he hadn’t been paying much attention to the situation in the New World, suggested to his three companions.

"Hmm... I have no objection."

"I do not have either."

"Oh! Going there!"

None of the three of them had any objections to this, and Ishi even seemed a little too excited. The reason was that he usually wouldn't dare to go there without Izayoi Sakamaki or someone else accompanying him. Moreover, it had been almost half a year since he last went there, so Ishi was very curious about what the situation was like there now.

"In that case, let's go take a look later."

Seeing that the three had no objections, Hoshino Gokawa finalized the matter of going there to take a look.

Ten minutes later--------------------------

After confirming that the pizzas had been delivered to the orphanage, the four of them headed toward the alleyway that led to the new world. Of course, they were disguised, since Hoshino Gokawa hadn't come here just to take a look; he planned to have a deeper conversation with them about the situation here.

Because some things can only be understood by getting to know them deeply, and he was also thinking about whether the people he rescued had ever been outside of society. If they had, it meant that deep down they still wanted to be involved with society.

If that were the case, he wouldn't mind considering finding a way to help them, such as getting them driver's licenses. Hoshino Gokawa was even thinking about whether to bring them into his newly opened game company in the future.

Of course, all of this is just an idea at the moment, and whether or not it will be done depends on the specific circumstances and their wishes.

"brush!"

Then, while Hoshino Gokawa was lost in thought, they entered a new world.

result……

"Good heavens! He's changed so much in just a few months!"

Even Hoshino Gokawa was astonished by the rows of cement houses they had built. Although there were no utility poles or streetlights on the roads, the style of the houses was extremely modern.

And he wasn't the only one surprised; Kusuo Saiki, Izayoi Sakamaki, and Ishi were also astonished by the enormous changes here.

Furthermore, they saw several humans holding manuscripts not far from them, giving instructions to some non-humans. What was even more amazing was that the non-humans actually obeyed their instructions, such as where to insert steel bars or where to dig a big pit. They did whatever they were told without any ulterior motive.

"Um... let's go ask someone."

Hoshino Gokawa, unaware of what had happened during this time, saw a yokai passing by and quickly stopped it to ask about the situation.

The yokai who was stopped wasn't angry that others were blocking his way, because he had experienced similar things more than once before, and there were no secrets here. So, when Hoshino Gokawa and the others asked him questions, the yokai told them everything he knew.

After all, the people who can enter this place are not ordinary people; they are either monsters or humans with special powers. Even if an ordinary person who does not know the situation wanders in, it is fine, because being able to enter this place means that you have the relevant qualifications.

Therefore, they don't care whether those who come in follow the mysterious hidden rules, and besides, what right do they have to do so? After all, that being hasn't given any orders, so they might as well just tacitly approve.

After all, with that person's abilities, it's impossible that they didn't know the situation here, and since they didn't say anything, it doesn't matter.

After all, this territory isn't under the jurisdiction of those guys from the outside world. If you dare to come and talk nonsense, you might survive if you're lucky, but you might die here if you're unlucky.

"I see! Thank you for explaining the situation here!"
