The Wise Janitor
The Tokyo Anime Expo truly lives up to its reputation as a world-class event; the cosplay from all over the world was a veritable free-for-all.
In the simulated gunfight zone, a group of fans of games like Metal Gear and Call of Duty are being brutally thrashed by the Empire Cannon Fodder Group.
After all, those were professional soldiers. Kevin silently made the sign of the cross, offering his condolences.
In the world of assassins, a bald man in a suit with a QR code printed on the back of his head is asking experienced assassins in hooded white robes for their assassination tips.
In the Fairytale Kingdom, a little girl holding a match is looking after the weapons that everyone is unloading, while Snow White, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, and many other characters are around her.
In Fantasy Land, Geralt of Rivia is dragging Kratos, and the four members of the Devil May Cry team along to play a few rounds of Gwent.
Meanwhile, in the entertainment section, Elvis Presley, a representative figure of country music, and Michael Jackson, a rock superstar, are meeting with the virtual idol Hatsune Miku.
Three music giants from different eras not only took a step beyond the century, but also enthusiastically posed for a group photo.
Meanwhile, in Gensokyo maiden Reimu Hakurei is clutching her money box and going around crying poor...
A group of FFF Squad members, armed with sickles, torches, and other weapons, are hiding in the shadows, preparing to ambush and intercept passing lovers...
In addition, various Magical Girl and Kamen Rider from the Heisei to Showa eras travel back and forth...
A criminal gang from M78 Nebula began patrolling the area, accompanied by two monster girls, Gatanothor and Zetton, who appeared to be the size of Ultraman Tiga Junior High School Student...
There's even the hardworking plumber Super Mario and a little mushroom running around everywhere...
In short, it was bizarre and outlandish, with all sorts of things... Kevin laughed so hard he almost choked several times.
"Sister, come here! I want that!"
Then, as Kevin looked around, he noticed a little girl of eleven or twelve years old at the shooting game booth next to him, who had fired several shots but failed to hit the "Kyubey" doll she wanted.
The girl, somewhat defiantly, shoved the gun into the hand of the female Junior High School Student next to her.
The girl with long brown hair and stiff glasses trembled uncontrollably the moment she touched the gun, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
"Bang!"
Immediately, the air gun fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The boss, who had been watching the scene with indifference, noticed a rolling spring and suddenly flew into a rage.
"I'm sorry, we'll compensate you..."
The girl with glasses hurriedly bowed and apologized, wanting to make amends.
However, the boss's eyes held an indescribable anger, and the girl's vulnerability emboldened him to make exorbitant demands.
"Okay, give me 10,000 yen!"
The timid girl dared not look directly into the shopkeeper's aggressive gaze, and with lunchtime approaching, there weren't many people around the stall. Helplessly, she handed over all her remaining change to him.
But the girl's pleading gaze only emboldened the middle-aged boss, who was not willing to let the matter rest, to escalate his actions further.
However, just as the boss was about to arrest the person and confront their parents, a hand wearing tactical exoskeleton pressed down on his arm.
Then, the visitor threw several Franklin bills onto the table.
"I'm in a hurry, I need to play a few rounds quickly, so whatever the difference in price for the guns is, I'll cover it..."
"Also, I'll add 100 bullets to your balance. I don't think you're trying to take advantage of me, boss, since you're so calculating."
With a gentle voice, the visitor, dressed in Tactical Exoskeleton, quietly sat down in the chair, blocking the two girls' path.
The middle-aged boss pulled back his red arm, not daring to say anything more. This guy was wearing all metal!
With the brute force to carry this pile of stuff, dealing with him would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, the middle-aged boss, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, obediently handed over the bullets and refunded part of the balance, not daring to have any ulterior motives.
But the moment Kevin picked up the gun to test it, a subtle hint of mockery flashed across the boss's eyes.
"You didn't win again, uncle..."
After surviving the crisis, the little girl behind the Junior High School Student girl seemed quite lively, whispering to herself.
Kevin didn't seem to care, laughed heartily, and then fired nine shots in quick succession. Each shot caused a toy on the shelf to fall to the ground.
Immediately, the commander smoothly repeated the actions of loading ammunition and firing, and the densely packed shelves were almost completely emptied.
He even acquired some of the most valuable items, including several exquisite stamps and a Hatsune Miku Concert ticket.
Even more tragically, the boss's delivery speed couldn't even keep up with someone's loading and firing speed...
Strangely, the Kyubey doll that the little girl longed for remained standing, as if it had been forgotten.
"Haven't practiced in a while, I'm a bit rusty, let's do another 100..."
I beg you, please don't!
Looking at the dwindling inventory in the warehouse, the middle-aged boss turned green with frantic anger. He hurriedly grabbed Kevin's hands, pleading with polite language and even a sob in his voice.
They only intended to fleece some easy prey, but ended up running headlong into Tyrannosaurus Rex!
It was only halfway through the morning of the comic convention, and he had already used up most of his inventory, losing almost everything.
"What do you fancy? Just tell me, I'll give it to you for free, okay?"
"Is this it? Little girl, come on, let me give you this..."
The middle-aged boss, with a touch of shrewdness and mercenary shrewdness, generously gifted the last Kyubey doll to the jubilant little girl.
The timid Junior High School Student girl wanted to refuse, but faced with the shopkeeper's pleading expression, she had no choice but to give up.
"You're smart. Give the rest to the children at the event for free..."
Kevin hooked his arm around the middle-aged shop owner's neck, whispered something, and then opened his palm, revealing a deformed pneumatic spring.
"Were you looking for this? It's been modified very meticulously. It seems the price of the air gun included labor costs?"
"Fine, here's your stuff back. Just don't leave it lying around in the future."
The middle-aged shop owner stared at the spring, which had been squeezed into a steel ball in his palm. His face turned ashen, and the intense heat clearly told him that this guy was not to be trifled with!
"Uncle, you hit the target 99 times out of 100 bullets! That's amazing! Can you teach me? I won't buy you any toys anymore, hehe..."
The lively little girl hugged her Kyubey doll, her face full of innocence and longing.
"Sorry, this is my relative's daughter. She was just saying it casually, please don't mind..."
"Also, thank you..."
The timid Junior High School Student girl felt the amused gaze directed at her, and, flustered and wary, bowed and thanked him.
Immediately, she grabbed the little girl who was clamoring to learn shooting from Kevin and hurriedly left, as if she were fleeing from some monstrous flood.
He wasn't hit 99 times, but... theoretically all of them!
Because the new gun needed a test firing and accuracy adjustment process, he figured out the entire performance and trajectory of the gun with just one bullet.
Even worse, the gun had been tampered with... it's terrifying!
People who reach this level will inevitably come into frequent contact with firearms in their lives, and there are two common identities that achieve this.
One was a soldier or policeman, the other... a bandit!
This girl looks familiar; I feel like I've seen her somewhere before...
Kevin stroked his chin, lost in thought, but was quickly snapped out of it by "Dante" slapping him on the shoulder.
"Captain, our outfits seem to be quite popular. Just now, a rather pretty elf girl was pushed up to take a picture with us..."
"Here, this is a photo his brother gave me for free. How about I enlarge it and hang it in my room?"
"Tch, what a womanizer!" Kevin glanced at it casually, but then his pupils constricted, and he snatched it away abruptly.
"What's this little girl's name?"
Kevin asked urgently.
"Hmm, it seems to be... Nai... Yuuki or something..."
The commander took a deep breath and added definitively.
"It's Asuna Yuuki..."
P. S.: I laughed at myself while writing the first half.
The second half... as you watch, you'll probably start laughing.
Hidden Easter eggs are being added.
Chapter 151, Section 160: The Wise Cleaners
The name "Asuna Yuuki" might not be immediately familiar, but if you add the names Sword Art Online and Asuna, then you unlock the ultimate title—"The Model Waifu King".
So, the other familiar-looking girl should be Shino Asada, who suffers from a fear of guns.
The world is really small; I've encountered so many famous people in the blink of an eye...
Kevin smiled wryly, but inwardly he was questioning [Apocalypse], hoping it could answer his doubts.
"Since all the main characters are here, does that mean the Sword Art Online game will be launched again?"
Is it considered one of the Calamity Mission?
Apocalypse spoke in a flat tone, seemingly not caring much.
"It's nothing more than a gaming revolution that caused the brain deaths of tens of thousands of people; just an insignificant ripple in the course of Human Civilization."
Kevin remained noncommittal, but expressed skepticism about Apocalypse's rational deductions.
Given the typical nature of timelines, the appearance of these characters often foreshadows related events.
Furthermore, Kevin's special buff that accelerates the "mutation and growth of the Calamity Virus" means that even a peaceful situation can turn into a crisis.
Damn it, can't you just let me have a proper vacation?
The commander was filled with regret, and for most of the rest of the game, he was somewhat absent-minded.
It wasn't until around three or four in the afternoon, when the group, having enjoyed themselves, was preparing to leave, that they noticed Kevin's unusual behavior.
"What's going on? Who upset him?"
Countess Lara removed her hood, looking somewhat puzzled, and scanned everyone's faces.
Before the trial could begin, Leon fawned over them and confessed everything in detail.
However, his winking and gesticulating expressions left the audience looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Could she be an illegitimate child?"
Black Captain James was full of malicious speculation, while Ledy "Guns N' Roses" next to him rolled her eyes.
"An illegitimate daughter? The captain is at most in his early twenties, this girl must be at least fifteen or sixteen, right?"
"Do you really think he was five years old when he managed to get a Japanese woman pregnant across the ocean?"
Yeah, that scheming guy is only in his early twenties...
Faced with Ledy's disdainful gaze, James gave an embarrassed smile and conceded defeat.
Then, this Latina beauty, with a slight smile, uttered her judgment in the tone of an expert.
"Therefore, it's impossible for her to be an illegitimate daughter; she's most likely her first love..."
Their eager, bandit-like demeanor gave even the rebellious Lara a major headache.
"Stop joking. Anyone that guy targets definitely has something going on..."
"Tonight, let's find out what they're really made of..."
Everyone nodded and began to disperse, but Kevin, who was propping his chin up with his right hand and assuming a thoughtful pose, was completely unaware of this.
Sword Art Online... when it comes out, should I play it or not? That is the question...
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Koichiro Yuuki, wearing a baseball cap and with a camera hanging around his neck, waited in the mall's rest area for his younger sister, Asuna Yuuki, to finish changing.
After all, their father Shozo Yuuki, is the CEO of the e-commerce company RECT, and their mother Kyoko Yuuki, is a university professor. Their discipline of them adheres to the philosophy of elite education.
Therefore, I can't stand any outrageous behavior from the siblings.
Asuna is alright; she doesn't exactly resist this kind of family concept.
But Koichiro Yuuki still wants to live life to the fullest and enjoy it to the fullest!
Of course, Koichiro Yuuki wouldn't dare to openly defy his parents, but he did a lot of rebellious little tricks in secret, such as playing a favorite game or luring his younger sister to a comic convention.
