Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"What are you doing? The wine is in your room."

After glancing at it, Tomie pretended nothing had happened and turned back to watch TV.

We skipped the news channel and switched to the children's channel.

Doesn't she realize she's gone too far this time?

She knows all too well!

You should ask her if she'll dare to do it again next time?

It's not a matter of whether or not we dare to do it; it's simply the right thing to do.

"Should I fucking thank you?"

Mercury sat down next to her with a forced smile and casually put his arm around Tomie's shoulder.

She didn't resist and simply lay down in Mercury's arms.

He leaned half his body against the wall, lazily flipping through TV channels.

The two snuggled together on the sofa, looking just like an old married couple.

Mercury: "..."

"I'm talking to you about serious business." Mercury turned Tomie's head so that she was facing him.

The two locked eyes, but there was no hint of romance; their gazes were locked in a battle of interests.

Mercury took a deep breath, and his mouth was filled with the scent of Tomie's perfume.

"Cough cough, could you please stop wearing perfume? It smells like dead flowers, it's disgusting."

"This is a famous French perfume brand, you brat. If you don't know how to appreciate it, don't talk nonsense," Tomie retorted.

Do you know how much a bottle of perfume costs?

A whopping five million Japanese yen!

It can't even fit in one stroller!

"Tell me, how much money is left in the card?" Mercury didn't want to talk about anything else with her.

He just wanted to know how much money he had left. How much was left?

"520".

"520 million? That's alright."

Mercury breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he still had 520 million left.

The amount was larger than I had expected.

It seems that Tomie hasn't had time to spend all the money yet.

"It's 520."

Seeing that Mercury was in a much better mood, Tomie shattered his illusions.

520, without ten thousand.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent as Mercury cleared the logic in his mind.

"So, in just three days, you spent over $1500 million in your account, leaving only $520?"

Holding Tomie's head in his hands, Mercury tried to confirm it again.

After a silent exchange of glances, Tomie slowly spoke: "Of course there isn't $520 left."

"Haha, I knew it! How could it be possible to spend over 1500 million in just three days?"

"Only 520 Neon Coins left."

"..."

The USS Mercury aircraft carrier set sail with a roar, then suddenly fell silent.

"Looks like I really have to punish you."

Mercury reached down to Tomie's thigh, intending to press her onto his lap, but she grabbed his neck with one hand.

Tomie raised her head slightly, bringing her face very close, her breath brushing against his face.

Do you know what 520 represents?

"What does it represent? It just means..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tomie's lips sealed his words.

Mercury's eyes widened in surprise.

Then they launched a counterattack.

The two, reeking of strong perfume and alcohol, suddenly engaged in a passionate kiss.

After a long while, the two finally separated their cheeks, which had been pressed together.

"520 means I love you." Tomie looked at Mercury with "tender affection".

In return, he spat in disgust.

"Pooh!"

Mercury spat out some salt, which was all Tomie's saliva.

He looked down at the smiling eyes of the woman in his arms. In his eyes, this was no love at all; it was a pure provocation against him.

Seeing his expression, Tomie laughed even harder, deliberately brushing her fingertips against the corner of his lips: "What, is a sister's kiss not worth more than some US dollars?"

"Don't give me that crap. 'I love you on 520'? I think it's more like I'm going to kill you on 520." Mercury flipped Tomie over and made her lie on his lap, clearly not intending to let the matter drop.

"Wait, I've already apologized to you like this, what else do you want?" Seeing that Mercury seemed to be serious this time, Tomie panicked a little and lost her composure.

"You'll find out soon enough," Mercury said calmly.

He then raised his hand high and brought it down heavily.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Tomie's expression was contorted with rage as she yelled, "Mercury, you son of a bitch! It's just a little money! Why are you making such a fuss?! What a stingy man!"

Mercury remained silent, only raising his palm repeatedly.

"Wait! She has to go to school in a few days. Can you bear to see her like this?"

"Snapped!"

"Hey! You idiot! Are you out of your mind? I've already apologized!"

"Snapped!"

"Stop hitting your little brother, I'm your older sister."

"Adopted," Mercury finally spoke, his tone completely flat.

"Clap clap clap..."

……

What was that sound?

As the snow woman washed her clothes in the dead of winter, she vaguely heard noises coming from next door.

She stopped what she was doing and listened intently.

"Slap...slap?"

Imitating the sounds from next door, she frowned, then her face suddenly flushed.

Her neighbors are Mercury and Tomie, right?

Could it be that the two of them...?

Snow Woman opened her eyes wide in the depths of winter, looking somewhat distressed.

"No... listen again, maybe I'm overthinking it."

She quietly went out and then leaned over the door of room 504 to listen.

The sound was much clearer this time.

……

"Mercury... have you gone mad?!"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

"You wait, I'm going to pour out all your wine!"

"Snapped!"

"Holy crap! Don't bite my thigh!"

This time it was Mercury's panicked voice.

"Hehe, let go of your sister quickly."

"...So you're the only one who can bite, huh?"

"Wait! Don't bite yet... damn it!"

……

The more I listened in the deep winter, the more engrossed I became, my cheeks burning.

Just then—

"what!"

A scream suddenly came from inside the house.

She was startled, her foot slipped, and the door was unlocked; she stumbled inside.

The moment she rushed through the door, she froze completely, her pupils clearly reflecting the absurd scene in the living room.

Tomie remained lying on Mercury's lap, but turned around and bit his thigh tightly, her hair sticking messily to her flushed cheeks.

Mercury held her arm with one hand and was trying to pry open her mouth with the other, while still holding the corner of her torn pajamas in his mouth.

The loud "bang" startled the two of them.

Almost simultaneously, they turned their heads, and the moment their eyes met, the noise from the living room abruptly stopped.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
