Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

“Indeed, you have all the elements you mentioned, and you were indeed a hero in the past.” Kerry nodded.

"So what's there to be afraid of! You've deprived me of the chance to enjoy my second life!" Kazuma clenched his fist.

"I've heard that the Emperor is currently posing as a beautiful young girl to lure people from other worlds to Warhammer 40k to become Astartes."

Kazuma Sato, a longtime anime fan, felt a chill run down his spine and, moved, patted Kerry on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Kerry."

Chapter 5 High-Quality Answers

Then, Kazuma asked Kerry about the chat room that suddenly appeared in his mind, and why it had suddenly appeared.

Then I received a high-quality answer from Kerry on Baidu: "I don't know."

The two discussed, researched, and experimented together, and agreed that the campfire mentioned in the chat room was Kree, which meant that people who died in the chat room could be resurrected next to Kree.

After Kazuma excitedly cut his finger with something, he regretfully discovered that he didn't possess Kerry's strange regenerative abilities. The two then chatted for a while, and finding nothing further, Kazuma stood up.

It's probably because He Zhen is an immortal, while Ke Li is from Penglai.

"Okay! It seems like we won't get anywhere by continuing this conversation. What are your plans next?"

"I'm going to find a place to stay for the night and then try to investigate those people from today. It's really interesting that they actually arrested people in a modern metropolis and were so efficient."

Kerry stroked his chin and gave his answer.

"Hmm! I see, that's cool!" Kazuma nodded and gave Kerry a thumbs up.

"With your immortality and your desire to fight crime, you might become a Tokyo superhero someday! Then we ordinary residents can finally live in peace. So, Ghana! I'm going home now!"

As he spoke, Kazuma turned around with a smile, took a step, and was about to leave as if nothing had happened.

Japanese has plural words, and Kazuma seemed not to hear Kerry's "we" and continued walking.

"Yes! Go ahead. I'm sure your family will thank Amaterasu after they see your urn, your death certificate, and then look at you."

Kerry didn't turn his head, but the sound of his footsteps stopping also stopped.

"Haha! Even though I won't be able to work properly or pay for insurance anymore, as long as I talk to my family nicely, they definitely won't mind letting me stay, right? As long as I don't leave the room, it'll be fine even if the relatives who attended my funeral come, right? Even if I don't have a number card and can't get a pass to ride the tram... it'll be fine... right? Right?"

Kazuma's tone was initially quite high-spirited, but gradually became lower in the end.

After a while, Kerry noticed that Kazuma had sat down next to him and was looking at the river.

Although Japan does not have ID cards, a numbered card system was introduced in the 16 administrative reorganization. Moreover, a person who has already obtained a death certificate will find many things inconvenient, such as not being able to take the train. This alone will turn Kazuma's journey home into a long walking trip, and he will not be able to call the police like a missing person.

Surely it can't be said that a kind passerby named Kerry resurrected him from the dead, can it?

The Japanese police, whose names are not prefixed with "people," will not believe his nonsense.

Kazuma, silent and looking at the river, deeply felt what it meant to have a home but not be able to return.

Finally, Kazuma let out a long sigh.

"Sigh! Who told me to get hit by a car and die while trying to save a little girl?"

"It's already a miracle that I'm alive again."

As he spoke, Kazuma wore a melancholy and wistful expression, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, as if to say, "That's life."

"Weren't you scared to death by a tractor? It was all reported on the news."

Kerry replied to him.

What?!

Although I already knew what happened from that blue-haired, dandruff-covered goddess, I never expected it to make the news.

Why does NHK, which is so obsessed with reporting on national affairs, need to make such a fuss?

Kazuma, who had failed to feign gloom, grabbed Kerry's shoulder and shook him violently, letting out a wail just like Kerry's.

"Ahhh! Why aren't you a beautiful girl? It would be so nice if I were a wanderer with a beautiful girl!"

As they shook, something that Kerry had put in his shirt pocket fell out.

Kazuma, somewhat curious, squatted down and picked it up.

"Oh! It's affiliated with the University of Tokyo..."

Looking at the words "dangerous mental patient" written on the patient's name tag.

Kazuma Sato looked up at Kerry, then at the patient's name tag.

"You picked up this sign, right...?"

Looking up, Kazuma noticed the hospital gown under Krina's coat.

Kerry: "..."

"Right?"

He Zhen covered his head and slumped to the ground in despair.

Haha! Hahahaha! That's great! Not only will I not be able to watch anime, play games, or enjoy air conditioning anymore, and I won't be able to rely on my family to support me as a NEET, but I'll also have to go out and be a homeless person, and the person I'll be with will be a mentally ill man!

Tears streamed down my face.

“Give me back my legal murder warrant.” Kerry took the warrant back and put it in another pocket that wouldn’t easily fall out.

Just as things were about to break down, Kazuma suddenly heard a gurgling sound.

The sound came from his stomach. It was only then that Kazuma, who had been focused on his own situation due to the sudden change, realized he was hungry.

Kerry frowned as well, because he also felt a little hungry.

However, Kerry felt something was off, because it hadn't been long since he had eaten that strange fish on the riverbank.

Kerry touched the wallet the kind person had given him in his pocket, regretfully thinking that he hadn't been able to pick up the items that looked like they belonged to the yakuza because he had heard the police sirens earlier.

"Let's go to some convenience stores that stay open late; maybe they'll have half-price bento boxes."

...

On a bench in front of a 24-hour convenience store not far from the riverbank, next to the trucks of the night shift delivery workers, Kerry and Kazuma Sato were eating their bento boxes with chopsticks.

The truly cost-effective bento boxes were snapped up by office workers and nearby housewives as soon as they were discounted to 5% off.

"5% off" is the lowest discount that convenience stores typically offer when clearing out bento boxes, which are less likely to sell after the day of purchase.

At this moment, what the two of them had in their hands were just leftover items that no one wanted even after being discounted.

"Damn it! Who came up with this weight-loss bento box thing?! Does anyone actually buy this stuff?"

And isn't this just a simple hamburger bento box with the hamburger patty and most of the rice removed? And the price is still so high!

Kazuma grumbled as he stuffed his mouth with that damn tomato, lettuce, and rice.

Kerry, on the other hand, moved his chopsticks slowly and deliberately.

But after Kerry ate half of the food in his lunchbox, he frowned.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Sato, who had already finished his entire bento box, also looked puzzled.

"I...I still feel very hungry...It's strange, I should have eaten enough." Kazuma scratched his head sheepishly and looked at Kerry with hopeful eyes.

Kerry also had this feeling. It was strange. Even though there was a taste and he could feel it, eating it was the same as not eating at all. Not only was it the same as not eating, but the feeling of hunger was even more pronounced.

Kerry suddenly remembered that the message that had appeared in his mind before the chat room appeared seemed to mention something about a hunger curse.

With a skeptical mindset, Kerry finished the awful bento in a few bites and took out another 1000 yen to buy two rice balls at the store.

They quickly finished eating, exchanged a glance, and the feeling of hunger persisted.

P.S.: Please give me some votes, meow! Thank you for your votes, meow!

Chapter Six...Big Brother!

A famous food critic once said that humans have three major desires.

Desire to sleep, appetite, and sexual desire.

Appetite, as a desire that is relatively easy to satisfy in modern society, rarely troubles modern people.

If you haven't experienced it yourself, it's hard to imagine what it feels like for people who are starving to the extreme to tear at their shoes or pull out cotton from their clothes and eat it.

Now, Kerry and Kazuma Sato felt a hunger.

A kind of hunger that transcends the feeling of casually browsing Instagram late at night, just before going to bed, and seeing an incredibly tempting food video, only to find that there are other people at home and neither of them can go out to find food nor order delivery, is like a cat's paws tugging at their nerves.

What's even more terrifying is that, even though they had just eaten, the taste of the rice balls still lingered in their mouths, and the feeling of hunger continued to gnaw at them.

"what happened?"

Kerry frowned. He seemed fine before, but the feeling intensified rapidly once he realized he was hungry.

To give an analogy, it was just a hot summer day when I really wanted an ice-cold Coke but couldn't even get a drink of water. Now, I feel like turning into a giant devourer whenever I see a green belt, and I want to teach the Tokyo municipal government a lesson for setting up a buffet on the roadside.

Kerry could still hold back the feeling, but Kazuma clearly couldn't. He looked longingly at the 7-Eleven convenience store he had just browsed, his mind filled with images of the meat buns in the insulated box.

He wanted to thoroughly ravage those deliberately made, fragrant, and textured snow-white fruits, pour some sauce on them as usual, and then swallow them one by one.

He felt like he was Jormungandr, capable of swallowing an entire planet, regardless of its soil, rock, or steel.

"Hey... Kerry, we should still have some money, right? How about we buy some more?"

He Zhen's eyes gleamed with longing as he turned to look at Kerry.

"Watch your words! I'm saying I still have money!"

Kerry righteously rebuked and corrected He Zhen's mistake.

After being scolded by Kerry, Kazuma finally understood.

"Wait, why are we still hungry even though we're eating?"

Just as the two were about to sit down and discuss what was going on, a "fragrant" aroma wafted over.

It didn't come from a convenience store, but from a location several blocks away.

Kazuma and Kerry exchanged a glance.

"You feel it too?"
