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

The source of the fragrance is one of them, but other people don't have that smell.

These people walked in silence, and as they approached where Kerry and his companion were, the two men noticed that they were carrying stacked shelves.

Moreover, as you get closer, you can smell a distinct fishy odor.

They did not find the two people hiding in the grass and walked all the way to the stream.

“An Sa An Bo…”

Upon reaching the riverbank, the person who exuded a fragrance emitted a strange, deep, and penetrating voice.

As he spoke, the people around him began to pour whatever they had into the stream.

Those were fish entrails and some scraps.

Kazuma was half right; the other party did indeed need to find food, but the way they found food wasn't by rummaging through trash cans, but by someone pouring it into the water.

Kerry recalled that Eizan Etsu had also mentioned that the priest was a very handsome person.

Furthermore, it is speculated that the other party is likely either working at this place or a long-term guest staying at the resort.

That means that one of the five people in that row is likely the priest they were talking about.

So Kerry grabbed Weiwei and nudged him, asking if it was time to make a move. Weiwei shook his head, indicating that he could follow the others.

The view from the grassland was not clear, but they could still hear some strange sounds coming from the water.

The two were very familiar with the sound; it was the sound of the huge, damp fish gills opening and closing in the air.

A dozen minutes later, those people seemed to do something else on the shore, and then walked back with the empty boxes.

Once the other person had gone some distance, the two quietly stood up from the grass and began to walk cautiously, following the somewhat strange scent.

Fortunately, being an island, Japan still has a bit of a breeze in the spring nights, and the rustling of the grass and leaves masked the occasional sound of the two stepping on branches.

There was no need to get too close; the other party was carrying flashlights, and there were five of them, making them quite conspicuous in the night.

After a short while, watching those people enter a building, Kerry and Kazuma emerged from the woods.

After brushing off the dirt, the two walked around to the side of the building.

The other person seemed to have gone in through a small door.

The two stepped forward and pushed it, only to find that it was a back door that required a key to open. The door could not be opened from this side, so they went around to the front door.

The two noticed that the building was still lit up, with a glowing resin sign that read "Fish Cuisine Specialty Shop".

Instead of contacting the person Nakiri Senzaemon had summoned to meet them, the two men, seeing that there was still light in the hall, went straight in through the main entrance.

Even at night, you can still see the chefs standing diligently by the window, and even in the empty hall, you can see a server explaining the dishes to the only table of guests.

Upon seeing the two arrive, the man bowed slightly to the remaining table of people and walked over in a few steps.

"There are still people here so late at night."

At that table, the black-haired boy looked up at the two people who looked travel-worn and didn't seem to be on vacation at all. He seemed to be talking to the waiter, who looked troubled for a moment, but then took the two to the kitchen.

We were led through the kitchen and the staff passageway; behind this themed restaurant was a row of staff break rooms.

The two walked past a row of door signs, finally stopping at the place where the smell lingered. They pointed to the door, signaling the waiter to call the person out.

"Huizi, Huizi, are you asleep? The culinary consultant that the commander-in-chief invited needs to see you."

The staff member knocked on the door somewhat awkwardly, and soon heard a response from inside.

"coming."

However, that answer made Kerry and He Zhen frown.

Why is it a female voice?

73

Chapter 73 Oh no, I've become the one who started the fishing.

"Clap!"

The sound of a latch being turned open revealed a dressed woman peeking out with her hands behind her back.

The two were somewhat surprised, because this woman had nothing to do with the priest that Eizan Etsuya had described.

Firstly, his appearance is quite ordinary, not handsome at all. Secondly, the other party is a woman, not a man.

"Um... excuse me, what can I do for you two?"

Kerry and Zhen looked the woman over and over. The smell was the same, but it was coming from this person, and there was a faint fishy smell on her.

The other person seemed very nervous, and took a step back in the face of the two people's scrutinizing gazes.

After thinking for a moment, Kazuma spoke up and asked the question directly.

"You just went to the stream, right?"

At times like this, there's no need for cryptic exchanges. Although the two didn't know the situation, they were certain that this person was connected to those monsters.

"What...what Xiaoxi? I...I just went to take out the kitchen trash! What are you trying to do?"

These words made the woman quite nervous and frightened, and she even became somewhat incoherent.

She took a step back, and her hand, which had been behind her back, trembled slightly as she pulled out a sharp knife.

The two frowned, but the next moment she shouted.

"Help! Help! Why were two men allowed into the female staff dormitory area?!"

The waiter who brought the two in was immediately taken aback.

"Ah! Ah!"

What followed was a series of screams.

"What if we happen to be walking down the hallway in our pajamas?!"

Instantly, many people in the dormitory opened their doors and cast unfriendly glances.

"Totsuki is no good either! How could they do such a thing!"

“Yes, we’re going to make a scene. Totsuki has to compensate us! Besides, I’ve been used to this for a long time. Can’t they send a female repairman? Last time the radiator broke, I asked someone to replace it, and a man came.”

"Snapped!"

Kerry slapped the woman across the face, knocking her to the ground before she even had a chance to grab her knife.

Immediately afterwards, Kazuma delivered a flying kick to the woman's face.

Immediately, the dormitory members who were about to berate the two men closed the door again.

"Someone's been assaulted! Someone's been assaulted! A pregnant woman's body has been assaulted!"

The knife fell to the ground, and the woman kept shouting, but no one was there to help her this time.

But one word from her lips made Kuri and Kazuma stop their practiced beating.

Although the two stopped, the man continued to howl.

But before they could ask anything, three men suddenly rushed upstairs.

They stormed up and yanked aside the bewildered waiter, who was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, and began speaking directly to the two of them.

"Quickly! Drive them away! If the messenger's child gets hurt, we'll all be gone!"

The woman who had fallen to the ground was still howling, but she had already managed to sit up.

She's not really stupid, or rather, no one who would do something like that is stupid; she's just taking advantage of sympathy and being unreasonable.

She didn't know why she had been suddenly approached, but she had to resolve the matter today and find a way to get out of there.

It was just the two of them, though. She would resign after the men chased them away. Actually, she didn't dare to really cause trouble with Totsuki, nor did she dare to speak up like those others, but she had to say something anyway.

And since they dared to hit me, I'll let them suffer a bit first.

"Clap!"

Then she saw three strong men, who were supposed to be quite capable and energetic, being beaten to the ground by the two young men one by one.

Because he was used to doing this kind of work before, when he saw the other person fall to the ground, Kazuma took out his small sickle and prepared to hook it at the heart, but he only realized what was happening when he pressed it against the other person's chest.

I really feel like this reaction is what people often call PtSD.

Seeing that the person who came up was like a small loaf of bread with no chance to fight back, the woman was about to start screaming again.

This time, Kerry didn't bother with any more words and simply pressed the gun against her forehead.

"Where are your priests? How many fishmen are in the lake?"

Although he wasn't entirely sure, Kerry had roughly figured out from the woman's words why she, a human who was powerless against them, would have that scent.

That is... the child of the Deep One is inside her body.

Deep Ones themselves have little desire for physical contact with each other, and are a species that is immortal unless influenced by external factors. However, when trading with humans, they often want to produce offspring with humans, whether male or female.

However, there are actually very few women who can withstand the torment of a Deep Diver, so this person is quite remarkable.

Their offspring will resemble humans for a long time after birth, only gradually changing as they age.

Upon seeing the gun, the woman's frantic behavior and howling stopped abruptly, and she suddenly became incredibly docile.

"I! I shouldn't have done it! I didn't! Priest, the priest is in a restaurant with us, I... I don't know, I just wanted to meet my performance targets! I don't want to be a kitchen helper, I want to be a chef."

Kerry and He Zhen were both speechless. How did things get so far, and they ended up bringing up the chef again?

They wouldn't understand that in this world where food is so developed, there are many wealthy people willing to spend a fortune for a good meal. They also wouldn't understand the resentment of a former culinary student who, upon arriving at a culinary mecca like the Far Moon Resort, sees others earning tens of millions of yen a month and surrounded by wealthy guests who spend money like water, while he can only work as a handyman with a monthly salary slightly higher than that of a white-collar worker.

Their long-term environment and the behavior of those around them had long led them to believe that culinary skills equaled success and everything.

But it doesn't matter anymore. The motives are no longer important. These fishmen and those connected to them must be dealt with.

"The exact address, the location, and the number of murlocs!"

Kerry reiterated what he needed to know.

But the next moment, both Kerry and Kazuma suddenly looked at the open window in the corridor.

It smells good!

A large amount of food was rushing towards them!
