I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 181 Happy times are always fleeting

"Is that so..."

Of course, after listening to Xiaoyu's words...

As she pondered this, Riley, who was familiar with Xiaoyu's personality, could understand why Black Xiaoyu would give different opinions, even though they were both "Cheng Xiaoyu".

After all, no matter how terrifying a haunted house is decorated, it's still just a fake.

Want to scare Hei Xiaoyu, who has become the queen of the Shadow Legion and deals with those real island ghosts—ninja soldiers who emerge from the shadows and are everywhere—every day?

That's clearly wishful thinking!

So, after some thought, Riley made a decisive choice...!

Take the two little ones, let's go play bumper cars first.

After all, this is clearly a life-or-death question!

No matter which one you choose, you'll offend another Xiaoyu!

Riley, who tries to be impartial, would never actually choose one of the two and risk a fate similar to Makoto Shinkai's.

Fortunately, Riley's answer, although it made the two Jade girls who had been expecting something a little unhappy.

However, considering that Riley did not favor either side, we tentatively accepted Riley's choice.

Yeah, that's right...

After each person drove a bumper car into the amusement park...

Riley watched as the two Jade girls, who were like mortal enemies, kept clashing with each other and completely ignoring him as if he were air, and fell into deep thought.

Why do I always feel like I'm the one who's superfluous in front of you two?

Or... should I leave?

Fortunately, after having their fun and venting their frustrations, the two little girls became noticeably more obedient.

They've also forgotten the scene from not long ago when they argued fiercely about whether to ride the roller coaster first or explore the haunted house first.

They even seemed to appreciate each other's company, linking arms around each other's shoulders and chatting and laughing as they walked out of the game venue.

Riley became increasingly convinced that he was indeed the third wheel!

Of course, despite the complaints, Riley knew in her heart that they were only temporarily tolerating each other's presence because they were considering their own feelings.

So at this critical juncture, what if Riley really dared to be like that famous detective from the island nation, who seems to cause murders wherever he goes, and just abandon them and leave on his own?

Those two little jades are probably going to go crazy, and who knows what kind of trouble they might cause!

Therefore, Riley dutifully took on the responsibility of tour guide and temporary guardian, planning a route based on the amusement park map. This ensured that he wouldn't miss out on any of the food, drinks, or entertainment, and that he could experience all the rides in the amusement park.

During that time, the most interesting thing for Riley was the haunted house.

While others were terrified by the eerie atmosphere of the haunted house, with high and low voices rising and falling, and some even crying out for their mothers and wetting their pants.

The trio, who looked like they were all underage, acted like professionals sent from above to evaluate haunted houses, giving them a thorough critique.

Even the rebellious spirits, when participating in escape room projects, unanimously chose to use the props at hand and the dim environment to dress up as ghosts and monsters.

So much so that when the staff entered the venue, the trio was nowhere to be found.

Before they even realized that the two "ghosts" who had originally entered had inexplicably turned into five "ghosts," they were suddenly gripped by the Chinese-style horror and felt a chill run down their spines. They were scared out of their wits by the trio!

In the end, with the trio working together to surround and intercept them, no matter how their colleagues in the earpieces tried to persuade them, the two staff members ran away for their lives, afraid of staying there for even a second longer!

The trio was overjoyed. Watching the staff member flee in disarray, they clutched their stomachs and collapsed on the ground, unable to catch their breath for a long time.

It was this experience that made the two Xiaoyu, who originally disliked each other, get along much better.

Well, of course, this doesn't come without a price.

After the trio left, they were approached by staff for seriously violating the rules of the game.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Riley, along with his two daughters, lowered his head guiltily and accepted criticism and education from the staff. He repeatedly promised that it would never happen again before he was spared the "special treatment" of being blacklisted by the haunted house.

Afterwards, Riley also sought out the two staff members who had dressed up as ghosts to scare guests, only to be terrified themselves. He sincerely apologized in person, explained the whole situation using the haunted house's security camera footage, and paid them compensation for their emotional distress.

Well, in principle, the two staff members who realized they had been frightened by the customer and embarrassed in public should have been very angry with Riley after their emotions gradually calmed down.

But there's nothing we can do. With District 13 and Osborn backing him up, and Riley having some financial power, he's giving them way too much—enough to cover a month's salary!

So much so that even with just a little fright, and even including the initial search phase, the whole process only took about ten minutes, and yet I could earn a month's salary...

The two staff members' expressions quickly shifted from embarrassment and anger to beaming smiles that said, "You really have a good eye for people!" They were eager for Riley, with his extravagant spending, to intimidate them a few more times!

After leaving the haunted house, the trio followed the route and experienced a series of rides, including roller coasters, drop towers, bungee jumping, and log flumes.

Although Riley wanted to complain, some of these activities—like bungee jumping—were like paying to go to work for Spider-Man, much like a pilot riding a roller coaster.

But looking at the two little girls, who were having so much fun and whose smiles seemed to be ever-present, almost never disappeared...

Riley, with a doting smile, decided to refrain from complaining, considering the children were having fun.

Just when Riley thought he would have a wonderful day filled with laughter and joy.

Riley, who had been patiently queuing and had just boarded the Ferris wheel with her two children and was about to close the cabin door, was greeted by an uninvited guest.

Within S.H.I.E.L.D., one of the few genuinely good people, Nick Fury's confidant...

Level 8 Agent, Phil Coulson.

Then, Coulson, taking advantage of his size, was mistaken by the staff as the trio's guardian, successfully entered the cockpit, and closed the door behind him.

As the Ferris wheel rotated, the cabins gradually rose higher, moving away from the unsuspecting passersby on the ground. Coulson, who had clearly come prepared, didn't mince words with Riley and greeted him directly.

"Hello, Mr. Riley Parker, or should I call you...?"

Spider-Man?
