Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

Page 69

Compared to skill and item lottery draws, the task settlement scroll is much more practical.

This allows the task to proceed directly to the settlement phase.

It eliminates the need for the task execution process.

It is especially useful when time is limited and task rewards are urgently needed.

In addition, there's a crystal and a skill lottery.

It's like giving it away for free.

How could Yato possibly be so picky?

After he finished receiving his mission, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai caught up with him.

"Walking so fast, will you be able to find the venue?"

Kaguya said with dissatisfaction.

"I don't know where the venue is, but my body knows where the strong are. Or... am I going in the wrong direction?"

Yato said with a smile.

“…You’re on the right track, but I think you’re just guessing.” Kaguya didn’t believe his explanation at all. She paused for a moment and then said, “You mustn’t be careless. I know you’re quite capable, but Ru7 and the Upper Agencies are serious this time. There won’t be another one like Totsuki who just came to make a show of things, and there won’t be another one.”

Yato nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, even the head chef of their own resort was sent, and no one would say anything even though they knew the guests weren't very interested in the spots.

Anyone who wants to complain can have their vice principal sent up, and it has to be someone who is quite capable in combat.

"That guy, Dojima Gin, is no pushover. Regardless of his fighting skills, his physical training is extraordinary. He's not an opponent we can underestimate."

"You only realize this now? And you were just spouting nonsense in front of them."

Kaguya smiled, seemingly looking forward to Yato making a fool of himself.

“I didn’t say anything. And you seem to have misunderstood. I do value him a lot, but I think he might not want me to value him that much, because that might cause trouble for Totsuki.”

As he spoke, Yato stopped.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the corridor, most of the venue can be easily seen.

And he has already seen it.

In one corner of the venue, many people were already sitting.

There were a few rather conspicuous individuals among them.

"That's good, it won't be too boring now."

"...!"

Kaguya, who was about to say something, suddenly froze.

Hayasaka Ai instinctively stepped in front of her.

Both of them showed a hint of horror on their faces.

Someone had their back to them.

The glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, polished to an impeccable shine, reflects the front of the viewer.

But what they saw, which should have been a human head, reflected a smile reminiscent of a demon…!

Chapter 94

In the arena, a chill suddenly rose in the hearts of several combatant candidates, as if they had been electrocuted, and they looked at the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor behind them as if possessed.

But there wasn't a single person there.

"..."

He noticed that other people had reacted in the same way he had.

Ren Nikaido felt a slight unease in her heart.

The task the boss assigned me this time is not easy.

The quality of the strong recruits recruited by ru7 is much higher than expected.

As expected, they have powerful backers backing them up.

Once they make up their minds to exert their strength, the energy they unleash will be taken seriously even by the Kengan Association.

"But compared to this... what was that feeling just now? It was like being watched by something ominous."

Ren Nikaido was deep in thought.

His boss is Katsumasa Hayami, the leader of one of the three major factions of the Kengan Association and the head of Toyo Electric Power.

The boss hopes he can infiltrate RU7, ideally becoming a representative of the fighters.

After a long period of infiltration, they waited for a crucial moment to launch a counterattack against Ru7, preventing the higher authorities from seizing control of the Fist Association and thus increasing their control over the entire country.

"The quota is not too difficult to deal with, but I don't know how many quotas RU7 will release. If there are too few, it will be a lot of pressure for me."

Ren Nikaido's mind was racing.

There were several fighters present who even he, as a successor of assassins, couldn't quite see through.

This is a very dangerous signal.

"Perhaps there are also 'agents' from other forces among them, just like me. Although I don't know who they are, I'm determined to get the spot."

At this moment, not only Ren Nikaido, but everyone else had their eyes gleaming, their thoughts surging, and endless desires seemed to have spread into reality, like dark clouds, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression to the entire venue.

Then, Yato and Kaguya, master and servant, entered the scene.

Upon entering the venue, Kaguya felt as if she had stumbled into a primeval forest from civilized society. The air itself seemed completely different, indescribably clear yet icy cold.

Even sitting in a corner where you shouldn't be noticed, you can still feel many hostile and sharp eyes sweeping over you through the branches and bushes.

The 'insight' honed in the past to compete with opponents on other battlefields has become a burden at this moment.

"Kaguya-sama, are you alright?"

Hayasaka Ai looked at her young mistress with some concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just not used to the atmosphere here."

Kaguya shook her head and stated her feelings frankly.

The princess of the Shinomiya family would not lose her composure over such a trivial matter.

“Unlike you, I find the ‘air’ here much more comfortable than outside.”

Yato put his feet on the back of the seat in front of him and stretched.

Kaguya gave a rather displeased snort.

However, she did have to admit that the man showed no signs of lying, nor was he deliberately making fun of her; he was simply expressing his feelings.

Compared to himself, the person those people should be most wary of is undoubtedly Yato, and the people who are most frequently targeted at him are also the ones who are most frequently targeted. In a sense, he was just implicated.

However, those gazes that she found excessively piercing, when they fell upon Yato, while not entirely without reaction, Yato showed no discomfort whatsoever; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy them quite a bit…?!

"What exactly did this guy go through in the year or so after Yukinoshita Haruno graduated?"

Kaguya couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

Because the other person has already forged their own path, while she is still immersed in her original way of life, it probably won't change much after graduation.

While it's not fair to say that this is necessarily wrong, I inexplicably have a feeling that I've lost.

"But it's never too late to step into a new world..."

The Kengan Association, fighters, the truth behind Japan's power struggle...

All sorts of unexpected things filled Kaguya with fighting spirit.

There was also a barely perceptible... flutter of excitement.

She was completely unaware of this.

Even her strong fighting spirit, which she believes is to surpass Yato's achievements, may actually be an ambition born from seeing some kind of hope.

"Now, you will set sail for me and pave the way for my great achievements!"

Seeing Yato being called away by the organizers and preparing to leave, Kaguya's lips curled up slightly, her heart filled with the satisfaction of having won back a round.

"Hey kid. The maids at your school are pretty good-looking, so fresh and youthful, completely different from the older women I've played with before. If you're interested, wait until I get a spot, and we can go out and have some fun together. But remember to wear your maid outfit."

Just as Yato got up, a dark-skinned man passed by in the aisle, gave him a mocking smile, and then walked away without any intention of exchanging contact information, as if it was just a casual remark, or perhaps... simply a provocation without considering the consequences.

· ······Requesting flowers····· ····

"That thing actually dared to talk to Hayasaka...!"

Kaguya's good mood vanished instantly. She stared coldly at the black player's back, feeling an urge to rush up and punch him.

Although Hayasaka Ai is a maid, Kaguya sees her as more than just her maid.

It's closer to the bond between sisters than friendship.

"Calm down, Kaguya-sama, that's just ordinary trash talk, common in many competitions. The purpose is obvious: to increase the probability of you or Mr. Igarashi making a mistake in the upcoming competition for spots."

0 ...... ...

Although Hayasaka Ai put her hand on Kaguya's shoulder in a comforting gesture, her gaze was fixed on Yato, seemingly subtly hinting to him not to fall for her tricks while offering reassurance.

"...Which school representative is that person?"

Yato suddenly asked.

"None of them. I've met the heads of all seven universities, but the people who came with him were from higher-level organizations. So it seems that he must be one of the other wild fighters who were invited after the initial screening."

Kaguya shook her head slightly, her tone resolute.

"Really? So that means if someone were to twist his head off and stuff it in their mouth, no one would be willing to stand up for them, right?"

Yato grinned, put his hands in his pockets, and casually walked off the stage.

"...Is he angry?"

Kaguya asked in surprise.

In her opinion, Yato was not an outsider and should know how to handle that situation without needing to be reminded.

Despite this, it seems that I still 'got infected'.

"Mr. Igarashi is actually not a bad person; it's just that you, Kaguya-sama, have too many prejudices against him."

Hayasaka Ai said calmly.

"I'm just standing up for you, don't be so easily bribed. Even without Igarashi Yato, I'll make that guy pay later... no, I definitely will. Compared to that, I hope that guy doesn't go up there and end up getting beaten to a pulp instead of teaching him a lesson. Then I'll have to take revenge for him, what a hassle."

Kaguya snorted.

"Oh dear, Kaguya-sama is at it again..."

"Hey, explain to me clearly what you mean by 'it's started again'?" Guang.

Chapter 95

The venue, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators, is naturally very large.

Waxed wooden floors are the most common type found in indoor basketball courts.

This may be to allow the fighters to showcase their strength as much as possible.

The organizers did not go to the trouble of setting up a ring or an octagon in the venue.

Twenty fighters gathered in the center of the arena.

The current president of the Imperial University, Yukio Dazai, dressed in a heavy kimono, stood face to face with the crowd, leaning on a samurai sword in both hands, like a drill sergeant giving a lecture.

Although he is over sixty years old, his body is thin and short, giving the impression that an ordinary adult male could easily beat him up with a few punches and kicks. However, you can tell from his posture and movements that it is the result of years of training and refinement.

Some of the weaker fighters felt a sense of danger, as if their opponents could sever their heads at any moment.
