I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 112 Peter's Blessed Mouth

That's why, after receiving the brand-new suit, even though he hadn't had a chance to wear it and test it out himself, Peter still looked at it with the eyes shining like he had found a treasure.

Even now, when Peter, Riley, Felicia, and Jade leave District 13 together and walk to school, Peter still occasionally raises his hand to look at the exquisite watch that has appeared on his left wrist.

Riley felt a pang of jealousy for no apparent reason, seeing how much he treasured it.

As we rounded a corner, we saw Peter looking down at his watch again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Riley rolled her eyes at Peter and complained irritably.

"Alright, stop looking at it. That thing isn't going to grow legs and run away by itself... When I gave you the suit, you weren't this interested. What, you think my craftsmanship isn't good enough, not as exquisite as the two doctors'?"

"I can't help it, Riley! This is an upgrade from your original suit! In other words, I'm wearing a suit that my brother and two idols custom-made for me! My God! How can I not be excited! Before, I wouldn't have even dared to dream of this! I'd even be hoping something unexpected would happen so I could quickly test the new suit's performance!"

But Peter, far from being embarrassed by Riley's jealous complaints, put his arm around Riley's shoulder and began to praise her enthusiastically.

It was precisely because of this unthinking, instinctive revelation that Riley, who was initially somewhat annoyed, suddenly felt much more at ease.

Look, this is my precious little brother!

In his mind, the battle suit I, his older brother, made was comparable to those of two scientific giants!

"Go away, go away. What kind of superhero hopes for accidents to happen in the city? I don't want to be late for school today because of dealing with an emergency, and then get criticized by my homeroom teacher. That would be too embarrassing."

Thinking about it this way, Riley responded verbally, though he seemed quite disgusted.

But the corners of his mouth, which couldn't stop turning upwards, had long since reached the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

On Riley's other side, Jade and Felicia, who were secretly vying for his attention because they didn't like each other, stopped their eye-fighting for a moment because of Riley's childlike behavior that finally suited his age, and they both smiled knowingly.

Clearly, even superheroes experience inexplicable competitive urges at certain times...

Hmm, that smug look actually makes Riley look even more adorable!

"Hahaha! How could it be such a coincidence? I was just saying it casually!"

Meanwhile, Peter didn't take Riley's irritating complaints to heart.

While passing through Times Square, he casually pointed to one of the GG screens with his free hand, and then, grinning, said what he considered the most unlikely thing to happen.

"Like that GG screen, if I said that J. Jonah Jameson, who appears on time every day, not only stopped spreading the Spider-Man harmful theory but also took the initiative to bow his head and ask Spider-Man for help, it's impossible that he would actually..."

However, before Peter could finish speaking, J. Jonah Jameson's face appeared on the Times Square screen.

This time, however, J. Jonah Jameson looked noticeably more haggard.

He even grasped Ben Parker's hand, and only after his old friend gently patted his shoulder did he manage to pull himself together.

Then, facing the camera, he began to deliver his lengthy speech.

This time, however, J. Jonah Jameson's words were no longer malicious attacks and smears against Spider-Man.

Instead, he is a worried father sending a distress signal to Spider-Man.

"Spider-Man, I don't know if you'll even see this message, or where you are right now. But I beg you, for the sake of innocent lives being threatened, forgive my previous rudeness. I really need your help, Spider-Man. If you can hear me, please contact me immediately. Please, this is a matter of life and death..."

After that, Peter could no longer hear what J. Jonah Jameson said in detail.

Because at this moment, Peter was so shocked by this unexpected and astonishing reversal that his mind went blank and he stood there completely stunned.

When he came to his senses, he saw Felicia, Jade, and Riley staring at him with extremely complicated expressions. He instinctively shrank back, somewhat afraid to meet their gazes.

Even so, Xiaoyu, who is always outspoken, did not let Peter off the hook.

Instead, she tiptoed, patted Peter on the back, and then, with a serious expression, offered her advice.

"Brother Peter, I really think sometimes you'd better keep quiet... Even if you really like the new suit, you can't just curse others like that!"

"...Oh God, my lifelong reputation is completely ruined..."

Xiaoyu's rant, to Peter's ears, was like a fatal blow to the very soul, with a suffocating and armor-piercing effect. He instantly understood Riley's feelings after being misunderstood and humiliated yesterday, and let out the same desperate cry as his brother. Truly, what goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of heaven!

He couldn't help but recall the scene in his mind where he and Dr. Connors, who had turned into a lizardman, encountered Tru and the Shadow Legion blocking their way. He shouted "Give me some Brazilian girls!" only to be slapped in the face on the spot, and Dr. Connors's helpless retort.

So much so that Peter, who was strong and powerful, possessing the strength of tens of tons, now seemed frail and weak, staggering back several steps with a feeble groan. He wondered if, in addition to Spider-Man's superpowers, he also possessed the special ability of having a "blessed mouth."

Until Riley stepped forward to help Peter up, making sure he wouldn't fall on his backside and embarrass himself in front of everyone, Peter, clinging to his last shred of hope, looked at Riley with pitiful eyes, trying to get a word of comfort from her.

But after hesitating, Riley couldn't bring himself to lie and guiltily avoided Peter's pleading gaze.

Having lost his last lifeline, Peter clasped his hands together in front of him, and his entire body quickly turned into the color scheme of a black and white photograph. Under the astonishing divine power of his own blessed mouth, he peacefully died on the spot.

Fortunately, this silly behavior did not last long.

Seeing that J. Jonah Jameson, this stubborn old man, was actually willing to risk his reputation and ask the two brothers for help, was enough to show just how much of a blow this incident had dealt to him.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the Parker brothers, lamenting that they had ultimately failed to escape the fate of being late and absent, could only ask Felicia to take Jade to school and then go to Midtown High School to ask their teacher for leave on their behalf.

The Parker brothers found a secluded alleyway, untouched by human eyes and surveillance. They wrapped their backpacks in spider silk, temporarily storing them there and sending their location to District 13 so they could retrieve them. Meanwhile, they quickly changed into their new battle suits and swiftly traversed the city, heading towards the building housing the Daily Bugle.
