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

[Kerry: So, are you sure you don't want to participate in tonight's operation?]

Kerry had already mentioned that they were going to have dinner at the park that night, and asked Xiangzi if he wanted to join them for dinner.

[Toyokawa Shoko: No, thank you for your invitation, but I have some family matters to attend to.]

In the text message, her grandfather demanded that she meet with him to talk, but her complicated emotions made her want to shake her head.

She didn't know how to go on with her life.

She overheard those people saying that they weren't short of money because of a previous commission, and as fellow human beings, they didn't mind sharing with her.

However, she would not accept favors from others. Although the incident at noon was dangerous and she had not yet calmed down about killing, life had to go on. Nevertheless, she still planned to try the newspaper delivery job tomorrow.

The thought process was interrupted by impulse.

hungry.

The amount of light points generated by those who dedicated themselves to the Buddha Mother was pitifully small. In addition, she didn't kill ten people in total, nor did she gain any experience points from the others. It was already the limit that she could stay in the police station for so long without feeling anything.

Having heard Kerry and the others recount their experiences, she knew what it was.

She longed for the life that Kerry and his friends had, but she knew she couldn't live like that. She needed to go to school, she needed to work, and she needed to take care of her father.

Unlike Kazuma Sato, who knew this would be painful and therefore didn't want to be with Kerry at first, Shoko Toyokawa was eager to take risks, get a large bounty, and become a dark hero in the city.

But reason told her that if she did that, she would no longer be able to take care of her father as often, nor would she be able to continue going to school. Moreover, that would be very dangerous, and she might end up living in the sewers like they did today after the accident.

So she decided to endure it, since they said nothing would happen if she endured it, and she wouldn't even die.

It's just a little hunger! I've been hungry before lately! Watch me endure it!

Ten minutes later, Toyokawa Shoko, who had taken out flyers looking for job information, put them down with trembling hands.

She felt her sanity crumbling, and she even wanted to stuff toilet paper into her mouth.

This isn't the kind of hunger you can endure; it's the kind that makes you so hungry you can't even move, and your mind can't think of anything but hunger.

Meanwhile, Ke Li and his two companions remained completely unperturbed after receiving news that Xiangzi had refused to join the team.

"Prepare an extra set of equipment later. How long do you think she can last?"

Everyone present had experienced that feeling before, and Kazuma touched his chin.

"I don't know, just one day?"

Three hours?

Kirito asked, somewhat puzzled.

"But girls are just as pitiful as we are..."

None of the three mentioned anything nonsensical, such as them capturing monsters for Xiangzi to rub against. Only Kirito sighed and said, "Poor kid."

As it turned out, Toyokawa Shoko's will was surprisingly firm, and she held on for a full three hours.

It wasn't until 8 p.m., when Kerry and the others were preparing to take action, that they saw Xiangzi's message.

[Toyokawa Shoko: I've finished dealing with things here. I'd like to work with you guys. Where are you?]

"puff!"

Upon seeing this, Kerry couldn't help but laugh.

Hunger will make even the most stubborn person admit their mistake.

Meanwhile, Xiangzi, who was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore, knocked on the door his father had opened, preparing to tell him that he was going out.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind the door.

"Xiang! Xiangzi! I! I'm already looking for a job! Even if I can't find an office job, I'll deliver newspapers, milk, or takeout! Dad's driver's license is still valid!"

Xiangzi, you just need to focus on your studies! I'll take good care of myself.

Xiangzi stared blankly at the door.

Seemingly hearing no response, someone cautiously opened the door a crack and tossed out a plastic bag.

"Xiangzi, it was my fault before. I... I won't drink anymore. Here's all the beer. You... you can leave it outside, and I'll see if I can return it tomorrow!"

Xiangzi froze, just like the semicircular nine-square grid, for several seconds before his expression changed.

Xiangzi's lips curled up slightly.

Ah! It seems my gentleness is completely worthless~

She gave up her life as a pampered young lady to take care of him, encouraging him and saying nice things to him every day, only to be let down time and time again. But today, after she killed a few people and knocked on the door, her father suddenly cheered up!

Is he afraid of me? Could I go even further, just to make him even more afraid of me...?

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head violently, dismissing the strange thoughts that popped into her head.

Those weren't my own thoughts! Yes! It was the terrifying witch Oblivionis possessing me!

With a faint smile, Xiangzi searched around and took out the small sickle that the Metropolitan Police Department had returned to her from an evidence bag. She swung it in the air, making a whooshing sound.

"Okay, I'm going out for a bit. Remember to eat dinner."

"I will! I will definitely remember. I will go to grab the half-price bento at ten o'clock! I will prepare yours, Xiangzi. Be careful when you go out tonight, Xiangzi!"

Hehehe! It seems like it's okay to go even further.

Chapter 120 No Brothers, No Dark Soul.

A shocking cult case occurred in Tokyo at noon, involving suspects ranging from retired elderly women to financial elites and local police chiefs.

A large portion of the street consists of detached houses, and people in those houses have been arrested.

The entire Akabane West region was thrown into turmoil, and the news even made headlines in other countries.

Television reporters were also filming humorous scenes of politicians with connections in this area and civil servants conducting on-site investigations.

After all, it was just posing for a photo, and then they had to emphasize their names to increase public awareness.

However, at 11 p.m., the people who were pushing this case were gathered by the stream next to Akabanedai Park. The park was just across the stream, and on this side was Hachiman Elementary School. Across the street behind it was Toyo University's Akabane Campus.

Since the streets of the old hideout were packed with people, Kerry went to the village chief in the afternoon to resupply, explained the situation to him, and also bought equipment for the new team members.

What was unexpected was that this new team member brought his own props.

A black lace mask that might make a person's nose appear more prominent was placed on her face, and she changed into a long-sleeved and long-legged tracksuit for easy movement, with sneakers on her feet.

However, the combination of the mask and clothing is rather abstract, giving the impression of attaching the hand of Poseidon to Venus's severed arm in a jarring way.

The mask was probably purchased with the little money he had left on his way out to keep his identity a secret.

He was carrying a somewhat worn-out keyboard bag and nodded to the group of people wearing masks.

Actually, only Kerry and He Zhen had just arrived with their equipment.

To prevent the enemy from escaping, Kirito arrived at the only exit of the park around 5 o'clock to keep watch, but he did not find that the enemy intended to escape, nor did he suffer any attack.

Because of the hasty nature of their operation, Kerry and his friends bought the bird-beak mask at a comic convention store since they had it at home.

Those were two masks from the Goddess of Strange Odors Record, one triangular and one covering only the area around the eyes. However, since the light source was shared by the other two, Kirito chose to wear a blast-proof motorcycle helmet.

Originally, everyone had listened to and purchased Obito's Six Paths Mask, Tiger Stripe Mask, and Whirlpool Mask. However, they regretfully discovered that Obito's mask was not breathable and only had one eye, which affected his vision, so they had to give it up with great reluctance.

"Can you use a pistol?"

Kerry stepped forward and handed Xiangzi an extra pistol and some bullets that had been purchased that day.

Then he briefly demonstrated how to release the safety and how to shoot.

Xiangzi, who was starving, simply nodded repeatedly to show that he understood and put the bullets into his keyboard bag.

Then he took out his small scythe, which was somewhat worn from the day's battle.

When Kerry saw that she had this thing, he didn't ask any questions and took out a rapier that he had gotten for free from the village chief.

Considering that the situation they would be facing today was completely unknown, the three of them specially bought four nylon motorcycle suits, which have a certain degree of scratch protection.

One of them was given to Toyokawa Shoko. Since it was an essential item for battle, she didn't refuse it. However, it was probably a bit too big for everyone else, and it didn't fit her well.

Then came the cut-resistant gloves and the high-powered bald head with a light. Once all the equipment was ready, Kerry waved his hand, signaling everyone to move out.

The other two were also fully prepared.

[Sato Kazuma: The enemy is at Akabane-dai!]

The group marched in unison, just like the Fire Lord Knight and the three Sun Knights he had summoned.

Because their base had been attacked, the two returned to defend it, which led to the abandonment of the plan to remove the fence.

However, it's now pretty much confirmed that the Buddha Mother did it on purpose. There's not much difference in difficulty between dismantling the railings and smashing her statue directly, so let's go straight for the sheer intensity.

Kerry, carrying a rapier and a shotgun that he had retrieved in the midst of the chaos, walked at the very front.

Kazuma was on the left, Shoko on the right, and Kirito walked at the very back, ready to deal with any emergencies.

Thanks to the big case during the day, there are almost no people around here at night. If it were a normal day, there would probably be many college couples and children here.

Stepping across the small bridge, which is designed to be straight, the streetlights on the stone bricks illuminate the cherry blossoms along the roadside, giving one the feeling that a knight wielding a giant sword might appear at any moment on the other side of the bridge.

Walking along the park entrance, the guardrails were perfectly normal. What came into view were the park's patterned streetlights, long benches made of stone slabs, and a small multilingual information sign that said this was a famous designer's place with many oak trees, and so on.

As a Tokyo, even at night, it doesn't feel remote, since you can see thousands of lights overhead that can block out the starlight and moonlight.

Occasionally, the sound of motorcycles could be heard from the road in the distance.

You can even see the overflowing trash cans inside the park through the fence.

It makes one wonder if evil spirits really can appear in such a place.

But that is undoubtedly the truth, and according to the standards of the eight million gods of Japan, that thing definitely qualifies as a demon or god.

So perhaps tonight will be the night of god-slaying.

Step over the railing and enter the park.

"Zi!"

As if to welcome everyone's arrival, the streetlights in the park flashed for a moment in unison.

Then, after the group officially entered, all the lights suddenly went out.
