A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Even though Hoshino Gokawa is actually younger than the other person, so what! As long as they don't know!

Besides, if we're really talking about mental age, I'm more than ten years older than the other person.

Meanwhile, students who were struggling to find the materials they needed to pass the exam became excited the moment they heard this.

"Really!"

"Really... After all, we're just here for fun, it's impossible for us to eat that much fish. Besides, even if we could, we wouldn't eat too much, since our cooking skills can't compare to the food in the hotel."

In order to persuade these students to accept Hoshino Gokawa, he said something that was half true and half false. As for where it was false, you'll have to figure it out for yourselves.

The students, who were well aware of the excellent reputation of the Totsuki Resort, felt that Hoshino Gokawa's words made sense, so after thanking him, they picked out the fish they wanted and left.

In a sense, this is not bad, because there were no guys who took advantage of the situation.

After this little incident, once they confirmed that no more classmates were coming, they released the fish and shrimp back into the river and then headed to their hotel to try the famous local cuisine.

Half an hour later -------------------------

"It truly lives up to its reputation."

As Hoshino Gokawa put down his chopsticks, he sighed softly and glanced at the guests at the nearby tables out of the corner of his eye. Although the food was indeed delicious, they didn't seem to need to look so intoxicated.

On the other hand, would anyone in the real world actually make that kind of expression because something tastes so good?

To be honest, Hoshino Gokawa didn't quite understand. Of course, it's also possible that his taste threshold is very high, so it didn't reach a level that would excite him.

Similarly, Kusuo Saiki is similar, but because he often has a blank expression, he doesn't seem to change much. However, anyone who knows him well can see the changes in Kusuo Saiki's expression.

As for whether anyone else was spying on them during the meal...

Of course there is an answer!

After all, there has been a lot of news about Abigail Doragonia and Howard James online recently, so it's understandable that some people would peek. Besides, they are currently using the pseudonyms of two handsome men, so even if they haven't been on the news, people will still be curious and take a look.

However, since this is a high-end hotel, the guests here are all very proper, so there was no issue of being secretly filmed. Otherwise, the two of them would have been trending on social media again.

Even so, some guests still wanted to make friends, but considering that it would be impolite to suddenly disturb them, they arranged to postpone it to the evening or to the breakfast meeting a few days later.

After all, anyone who is well-informed or comes here often knows that every time the final test of the Totsuki Academy's residential training program is held, the students are asked to prepare a meal for 200 people for the guests to enjoy in the morning.

Most people who aren't reclusive would choose to attend such an occasion, so chatting around would be a good idea at that time.

"I'll head home now. Call me if you find anything interesting later."

Hoshino Gokawa had originally planned to play for a while longer, but he suddenly received a text message from a game designer at the company, who seemed to have something to tell him. Helpless, Hoshino Gokawa had no choice but to go back to his hotel room to deal with the business.

Seeing the other person leave, Saiki Kusuo soon got up and went outside as well. However, he didn't go to his room but planned to wander around and see if there was anything else interesting.

After all, this is a resort, so there should be plenty of things to do here; otherwise, why would people come here for vacation?

Back in their room, Hoshino and his friends dialed the number of the game designer who had just texted them.

"Click!"

After dialing the number, Hoshino Gokawa asked the other party about the specific situation.

"President, could you please come to the company?"

"What's wrong? What happened..."

"It's like this, President. Someone from Soreni just came to discuss some things with you, but they didn't reveal much specific information to me."

"Oh... are their people next to you? If they are, let them answer the phone."

"Yes! President!"

……

Then the phone went silent for a short while, and then a man in his thirties came on the other end.

"Hello! Are you President Abigail? I am..."

Hoshino Gokawa, who listened quietly to what the other person was saying, roughly understood what this guy or the company behind him meant.

"Console exclusive!"

Although they are just getting started, anyone who isn't a fool can see the potential of Hoshino Gokawa's current game company.

With all sorts of extravagant facilities and manpower, it's clear they're planning something big.

Therefore, as the leading company that occupies most of the Japanese game market, they naturally have to come and take a look. If possible, they hope to sign an agreement with the other party.

The reason is that if the game isn't exclusive, their consoles won't sell. After all, anyone with common sense knows that buying a game on a PC is more expensive than buying one on a console.

It can be said that their purpose in coming here was to ensure that Hoshino Gokawa's newly established company would not disrupt their monopoly.

Chapter Two Hundred Interests

"Your suggestion is good, so let's not bring it up again."

Hoshino Satoru refused the suggestion from this fellow with both hands.

"Why?! Is it because the terms we offered weren't good enough...?"

The Soreni staff who were communicating with him were somewhat puzzled.

"No, it's simply because I don't lack money. And I'm a big fan of games, so I hope that the games we make can be played by more people, rather than just serving a certain group."

Hoshino Satoru's reasoning is simple and unsolvable: 99% of the world's problems are caused by a lack of money, and if you can solve that problem, you'll basically have nothing to worry about.

Aside from some inexplicable and ambiguous love affairs.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you live in an era governed by law. If it were a chaotic world, being rich would instantly turn into a guillotine pressing down on your neck.

Because at that point, money will be useless; instead, you'll need to rely on force. After all, if you have money but no force, in other people's eyes you're just a fat pig that can eat whatever it wants whenever it wants.

How to eat it? You can fry it, grill it, or boil it in hot pot.

Getting back to the main point, after realizing how unsolvable the reason given by the other party was, the person sent to Soreni was left speechless, unable to say anything more.

After all, who in this world runs a company without wanting to make money and acts like a spendthrift? If someone did, they'd be a fool...

Oh, I'm sorry, there really is one on the other end of the phone.

The Soreni staff couldn't help but mutter a few curses about Hoshino Gogawa in their hearts, but of course, their inner grumbling didn't stop their verbal actions.

“Um… Mr. Abigail, if you are not satisfied with this collaborative project, we can discuss it further!”

"No, I'm not interested."

To avoid disturbing his peace and quiet by continuing the conversation, Hoshino Gokawa directly refused without any ambiguity.

“Mr. Abigail, did I say something wrong? Mr. Abigail…”

"Come on!"

Then, Hoshino Gokawa hung up the phone just as the person on the other end was anxiously trying to say something more.

"Tsk... I thought it was something serious."

Just as Hoshino Gokawa was about to put his phone back in his pocket, he suddenly remembered something and casually dialed the number he had just received. However, this time the person who answered was not Soreni, but the game designer he had hired himself.

"Hello! President! Is there anything else?"

"Oh, it's nothing. You can discuss things like this yourselves in the future. There's no need to come to me! I'll say it again: I'm not short of money! So you can refuse collaborations like this in the future!"

All I care about is whether the games you make are fun and whether most players like them; I don't care about anything else.

"Yes! President!"

The game designer on the other end readily agreed, seemingly pleased that his new boss was this kind of person, rather than the guy from his previous company who was only focused on making money and ended up ruining a perfectly good game.

"Then let's leave it at that... Oh! By the way! If you're lacking motion capture or inspiration, I do have some connections that can help you, but you'll have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

To make these games more fun, Hoshino Gokawa even turned his attention to certain extraordinary individuals and monsters in this country.

After all, motion capture based on imagination can't compare to real objects, and if there were real objects, Japanese games, which currently hold the title of "master of motion capture," would probably have to give way.

"Eh?!"

The game designer was slightly taken aback when he heard his president say this, because he didn't know what kind of motion capture would require signing a confidentiality agreement.

"In short, I can help you find it if you want, but you have to have everyone involved sign a confidentiality agreement."

Hoshino Gogawa didn't say anything about this, but kept it a secret. Of course, this is because at this stage, superhumans are all hiding behind the scenes, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble.

However, to be honest, it was his own fault. After all, if he hadn't stopped them and the Kronians had just stormed in, the world would probably have turned into something like Blood Blockade Battlefront, with all sorts of weirdos around.

As for whether Earth can win, Hoshino Gokawa thinks it should be fine, but the losses might be a little bigger, around a "hundred million".

Of course, there are also benefits to stopping it, namely, it allows the civilization of this planet to move forward at its own pace, instead of being swept away by a high-speed train to an unknown place.

After all, if morality and technology become unbalanced, something truly horrific could happen; in other words, people might no longer be human.

……

"Oh! No problem, President!"

After the person on the other end finished speaking, Hoshino Gokawa hung up the phone, then sat in his seat for a while before going to find Saiki Kusuo.

at the same time--------------------------------

"I'm so sorry, Director Watanabe! I failed to complete the task you assigned me!"

The Soreni personnel, having returned empty-handed from Hoshino Gokawa's failed negotiation, appeared quite dejected. After all, if he had succeeded, he might have been promoted to a higher position.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now you can go and do your own thing. I'll hold a meeting to discuss the rest with the others."

The middle-aged man, who was slightly older than him and wearing glasses, nodded kindly at him, looking extremely friendly, as if he were family.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the expatriate employee not only had no objection, but was also moved by the other party's attitude.

What he didn't know was that after he left, the seemingly amiable executive suddenly became quite serious. He first pressed a button on the table and spoke to the person on the other end of the microphone, then closed his eyes to rest in his seat until someone knocked on the office door, at which point he opened them again.

"Come in!"

"Click!"

The doors were opened the next moment.

"Director Watanabe! What can I do for you?!"

"Hmm, no rush... have a seat first."

It's a very cliché plot in TV dramas, but it happens everywhere in the real world. It's just a very simple way to win people's hearts, but countless people still benefit from it.

"In that case, I'll be rude."

Seeing that the other party was a newcomer with such a grand presence, he didn't linger and sat down in the seat placed in front of him to listen to the instructions of this high-ranking leader.

a long time……

Chapter 201 Dojima Silver

A figure, burdened with unspoken thoughts, walked out of the Soreni building and headed towards the city that had recently become the subject of much discussion. It remained to be seen whether joining the city would allow him to successfully implement his plans…

Yeah, right! If it were a real business drama, that's probably how it would turn out!

Unfortunately, there are all sorts of other strange and supernatural factors in this world, so you can't really do anything about it!

Although he hasn't actually had an interview yet, his fate is already sealed.

because……

He simply couldn't get past Saiki Kusuo's telepathic abilities!

Hahaha!

In other words, a new business war blockbuster ended before it even began, and it's hard to understand how someone with such an impressive resume could have been rejected.

It wasn't just them who thought this way; even the unsuccessful candidates from other companies couldn't understand why.

Now let's turn our attention back to Hoshino Satoru.

Since Kusuo Saiki wasn't interested in swimming, the two of them just found a random spot and started having a barbecue, since barbecuing is a must-try part of any vacation.

Of course, if you don't have any cooking skills, then the focus is on the experience, while if you do have cooking skills, then both the taste and the experience are doubled.

As luck would have it, Hoshino Gokawa happens to know the craft, and even if they didn't, the two of them could learn it on the spot, since human skills aren't that advanced for us.

But that's what the saying goes...
