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

Looking at Kazuma's smile, he felt a sense of foreboding, because he seemed to have seen the same expression on a friend who used to call him "Kirito-sama".

That expression means: gloating!

Looking at the other person's strange expression, Kirito suddenly felt a tightness in his back door, and cold sweat poured down his backside. Looking at this guy who was smiling at him, he seemed to be more terrifying and frightening than ten of those swollen monsters from before!

What...what are you doing?

Kazuma looked at Kirito with a pity that couldn't hide his joy and shook his head.

There's actually something else I didn't mention.

"Wha...what?"

Kirito couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Speaking of which, you felt the kind of hunger I just mentioned, right?"

He Zhen's face began to show signs of strain, and his smile gradually became unrestrained.

"W-what's wrong? Didn't you say this was the price we pay for being brought back from the dead?"

"Yes, but I forgot to tell you, that kind of hunger won't disappear just because you don't die."

Upon hearing this, Kirito was struck dumb.

Although he sensed something was wrong, Kirito still tentatively asked, "Then... how long will this hunger last?"

"For a lifetime."

He Zhen's smile stretched almost to his ears as he spoke the cruel truth.

How can you bring a sliver of happiness to a shut-in who can't go home, suffers daily on the brink of life and death, goes around saving and killing people, and lives a life worse than an African mercenary, far from the computer?

Of course, that damn "social butterfly" who has a beautiful girlfriend and can bring her to such a luxurious place for vacation must live the same life as me.

"lifetime?!"

Kirito's pupils dilated upon sensing the keyword, feeling as if he were a spaceship about to be captured by the gravity of a black hole, wanting to escape but finding it impossible.

"Yeah, you damn social butterfly, you don't want to be tormented by hunger because you have nothing to eat, do you?"

Take this opportunity to break up with your girlfriend and stop hurting others. While you still have the chance, call and check on your family; after all, this is the price of being brought back from the dead.

You'll have to stay with us and be immortal for life!

By the way, we really welcome newcomers, but we don't seem to have an organization name yet. Kerry, would you like to come up with one?

"The Farron Immortals?"

Kerry struck up a conversation.

"No, how about we call him Devil May Cry? Perfect, now that we have three people, we can switch codenames. I'll be called Virgil, you'll be called Dante, and this darn popcorn guy will be called Nero."

Kazuma chuckled and patted Kirito on the shoulder again.

"You think I've never played Devil May Cry? If anyone's going to play Vergil, it'll be me!"

Kirito was somewhat overwhelmed by the intense information he had just received, and without caring that he wasn't actually very familiar with the two of them, he directly retorted to Kazuma.

In Devil May Cry, Vergil is Nero's father.

"What? Someone like you who's into real life shouldn't be playing games, okay?"

Kazuma looked at him with disdain.

"Damn it! I already told you, I'm not a 'normie' anymore!"

Kirito tried to shake off Kazuma's hand, but because Kazuma had more experience with this, he couldn't resist at all. So, like high school boys, the two of them struggled and rolled around on the grass.

"I used to be a shut-in user of Sao, I played all kinds of trading card games, board games, online games and single-player games!"

"Damn it! Aren't those multiplayer online dungeon games just platforms for people who are into dating? Don't confuse those games with our single-player games!"

Asuna watched from across the riverbank. She couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she was completely baffled as to why Kirito was suddenly arguing with that person.

But it didn't look like a fight; it looked more like the girls were having a pillow fight.

In the end, the two who had fought reached a historic reconciliation, and Kirito decided to take advantage of his vacation to follow the two of them.

Because they both discovered that they were both fans of Yuzu (a type of Chinese rice dumpling).

Chapter 82 An Interesting Truth.

"This is my reward; please accept it."

After one night, Senzaemon Nakiri was finally released by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The incident resulted in a large number of monster corpses, and there seemed to be no room for argument. The Metropolitan Police Department was also eager to close the case to give an explanation to the families of some victims of the Totsuki Massacre, so they pinned the blame on both of them, and placed the blame on Azami Nakiri, who was staying at the Tokyo Grand Hotel and was indeed connected to these things.

Although Japan has not had the death penalty for many years, the impact of this case is so great, and with so many people pulling the strings behind the scenes, it's estimated that Azami Nakiri won't have a good outcome.

Kerry and his companion mentioned the nuclear wastewater issue to Senzaemon Nakiri. Senzaemon said he would use his connections to postpone the plan, and that the two of them didn't need to worry.

However, this does prove that although Yijie's ideas are far-fetched, the fish-men's thinking is actually not wrong, and these cooks really do have the ability to interfere in politics.

However, Kerry and Kazuma still haven't given up on the idea of ​​a solo kill.

Both of the most famous establishments have been targeted by cult attacks, and Senzaemon Nakiri is also partly to blame. Therefore, he will be very busy these days and can only spare some time to entertain Kerry and his group. He also arranged for someone to secretly send the two away and present them with a thank-you gift.

The thank-you gifts included a bank card from Hong Kong, several boxes of cash, and two small gifts that pleased both Kerry and He Zhen.

Some high-ranking Japanese officials, when their origins or destinations are unclear, like to deposit money into bank cards in surrounding areas, as it is less likely to be frozen and is convenient.

What? You're asking why I don't use American or Swiss cards? What's the difference between using those two and getting caught and openly admitting there's something wrong with your money?

There was also a shotgun shaped like a smoothbore gun, with a very ornate design, and 600 rounds of ammunition.

Several sets of bulletproof vests.

And two katanas, one of which is a collector's item said to be a work by Nojisada. Most people are not familiar with the name Nojisada, but his works are quite famous, such as Hijikata Juuzou's short sword, and the famous Kuji Kanesada who appeared in "Kara no Kyoukai".

The other weapon is a practical item, said to have been made by the Nakiri family a few years ago to ward off evil spirits. It was manufactured using very complete modern technology, is sharp and well-maintained, and has high practical value.

Kerry didn't react much to the katana. It wasn't like he was being given a broken sword, a Tenseiga, or a Yamato. What was so special about a katana? Even if you ranked all the practically useful swords and blades in combat, this thing wouldn't be number one.

On the contrary, Kazuma and Kirito became extremely interested. When the other party asked them to help deliver the items to their homes, they each carried a handful and would take them out to look at them from time to time, just like two elementary school students.

It's a shame we didn't get to see what happened to Nao Sadazuka in the end, or whether she was caught secretly taking evidence and arrested on the spot during the police search of the mountain.

In Japan, let alone taking secret photos, even using a camera without a flash is generally not allowed.

To make it easier for Kirito to move in as well, the two bought some more furniture, and Kazuma even went so far as to say that he wanted to cook for himself.

……

Tokyo, Akabane West.

At the base of the Kree trio.

Kazuma opened Kerry's door.

"Hey! The pot I'm cooking downstairs is already on fire, you'd better come down and wait!"

Yes, although she claimed she would cook for herself, Kazuma, being the idiot she is, chose hot pot and even bought an induction cooker for it. The open kitchen, which is already quite large in Tokyo, is now crying.

As a result, when Zhen opened the door, he found Kerry fiddling with something, so he curiously peeked over.

Then I saw a statue covered with a red cloth next to Kerry.

"Huh? What's this?"

Kerry carefully placed the statue on his desk in his room as he explained.

"Oh, this is the idol I got from those cultists. We were supposed to be dealing with the monster in that woman's belly, right? That's when we found it."

Kerry placed the statue down and turned to look at Kazuma.

Kazuma was startled by what he heard and quickly backed away, crawling on his hands and knees like a cockroach against the corridor.

"Wait, why did you bring this thing here?"

"I'm thinking those merfolk seem to know some kind of magic or something, and they can even transform, so the statue is probably quite dangerous..."

Hearing what Kerry said, He Zhen nodded in understanding.

Indeed, if it is the god worshipped by those monsters, it might really have some magical properties, and such dangerous items need to be handled carefully.

Then Kazuma heard what Krina hadn't finished saying.

"...So, since I was thinking our place was haunted, I decided to bring it back to ward off evil spirits."

Kazuma was taken aback, then his face darkened; he had almost forgotten that Kazuma was mentally ill.

Damn it, our house is just haunted. You want us to go to the shrine to get some talismans or amulets or something? You're fucking inviting an evil god back to ward off evil, aren't you?

If you don't put a Gray Ryusei in your room, maybe the ghost was a Yu-Gi-Oh! player in his previous life and can scare people away, and also drive away cockroaches.

"We must destroy this dangerous thing immediately."

Kazuma walked forward somewhat displeased, making a move to lift the red cloth covering the statue.

Kerry immediately turned his head away.

Actually, Kree had always wanted to take a look, but he was afraid of a classic Cthulhu incident.

After all, even cultists are kept in the dark about this stuff, so Kerry was still worried about whether watching it would have any negative impact.

The original plan was to let Kazuma come and see it by himself after dinner.

"Uh... what kind of anime character is this? Did Eldridge swallow Gwyndolin?"

He found nothing unusual about the statue, and the content of the conversation was also strange, because Kerry clearly remembered that when he arrested the last cultist, the man was shouting Dagon's name at the statue in a near-mad manner.

So Kerry turned around too.

What came into Kerry's view was a somewhat eerie statue. In front of the statue was a girl dressed in a fitted ancient costume, her face covered by a fan. However, behind the girl was an extremely large and bloated tissue, like a human brain, covered with rotten flesh and teeth.

Kerry only glanced at the thing before Kazuma frowned and pulled it up.

"I thought it was some kind of giant fishman, but is this just some random anime prop that cultists used to fool their followers? It looks a bit disgusting though, I think it's better to throw it away."

Kerry glanced at Kazuma and guessed what the statue was, but he didn't say anything.

Kerry sensed that he and Kazuma weren't quite normal either. He wondered what would happen if an ordinary person saw that thing, which was why it was covered with a cloth.
