Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

How much do you know about this world?

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya's hand, which was turning the pages of his book, stopped in mid-air. His eyes flickered slightly, but he did not look up.

As for how much he knows about the world, he considers himself to have a very deep understanding of it.

Parasites, ghouls, and anomalies like his sister.

And the monsters and filth in Unouchi's mouth.

All of this combined should give you a fairly good understanding of the world.

Tomie didn't even lift her eyelids, as if she had overheard some trivial chatter.

What does it mean to understand the world? To her, the only truth about the world is that her own beauty is unparalleled.

Everything else is merely a backdrop to highlight her existence.

Mercury, meanwhile, lazily propped his chin up, as if he had heard some funny joke.

"Yukino, why are you suddenly asking about this? You don't want to know the truth~"

Upon hearing the nickname "Little Yukino," Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and glared at Mercury with displeasure.

"Please call me Yukinoshita." Yukinoshita Yukinoshita immediately corrected her coldly, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone filled with undisguised displeasure, "Or... Yukino, that frivolous way of addressing me only makes me question your aesthetic sense and intelligence, which is more worrisome."

Completely ignoring the lessons learned from the previous two encounters, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately activated her passive, sharp tongue.

And perhaps because Mercury had saved him, he surprisingly allowed him to call him by his name.

Mercury tilted his head and agreed, "Okay, Yukino, no problem, Yukino. From now on, I'll call you Yukino-no-hira ...

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

"Pfft." Hachiman Hikigaya burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth.

Tomie glanced at Mercury, then reached out and pulled him into her arms.

She rested her chin on his head, like petting a cat, asserting her dominance.

Her red lips brushed against his ear with a soft laugh, her tone teasing: "Don't always provoke this kind of wildcat with its fur standing on end."

Mercury lay comfortably in her arms. Yukino blinked at Yukinoshita, "Oh my, how interesting~ asking us how much we know about this world."

Are you referring to the universe, or this tiny, broken ball beneath our feet?

Yukino Yukinoshita's temple throbbed even more. Too lazy to argue with Mercury about the trivial matter of address, she glanced at the three people present and said, "The universe? That's not something that humanity can explore at this stage. I mean this planet."

At this point, her tone became serious.

"How much do you know about this planet? Parasites, ghouls, Unouchi, and that thing that looked like that model last time."

She took a step forward, her hair fluttering even without wind. "There are also cases like mine, or like Hachiman's."

Hachiman Hikigaya finally raised his head and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in surprise.

Xiao You also stretched out his right hand, looking at his casually swaying hair.

"How surprising, yet another anomaly. Is this your purpose?" Miyu looked at Mercury.

He didn't believe it was any coincidence.

None of them showed any surprise at Xiaoyou's appearance.

I've seen it countless times before.

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more." Mercury snuggled into Tomie's arms, speaking lazily, but with a hint of seriousness hidden in his tone. "This world is both deep and shallow. What you perceive as 'abnormalities' is merely a small opening in the world. As for what lies behind that opening—"

He deliberately dragged out his words, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's tense profile, and chuckled mischievously, "Yukino-chan, want to take a guess?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment before saying, "There should be more anomalies. This is the information I found."

She took out her phone, created a group chat, and uploaded the collected information.

[A gigantic shadow in the sea: A helicopter flying over the sea saw a gigantic shadow, reportedly over ten kilometers long]

[Silent Hill, America: Residents vanish overnight, entire town locked down]

[Spores suddenly falling from the sky: Origin unknown, rumored to be related to parasites]

[British Vampire Sightings: Blood-Sucking Monsters...]

[An ice cream truck that eats children: An ice cream truck wandering around neon lights...]

[Biological weapons left behind by a dismantled superpower: reportedly discovered beneath the Antarctic ice sheet...]

[Tokyo Haunted House: Legend has it that anyone who enters will ultimately die a violent death...]

The text, the blurry images, the incomplete reports... they all seem absurd, yet they all carry a certain undeniable sense of reality.

"Wow~~" Mercury exclaimed, getting up from Tomie's arms and sitting up straight. "This information is really good. So, how much of it do you think is true?"

"I don't know." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and said in a serious tone, "However, according to my investigation, the frequency of such incidents has been increasing exponentially in recent years."

While the progress of human technology certainly plays a role, it is undeniable that, whether it's for sensationalism or to pass off falsehoods as truth, this information is indeed worth exploring.

Moreover, these unusual events are happening right around us; we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for our fate to be sealed.

Having said that, her intention couldn't be clearer.

She wants to assemble a small team to take the initiative and explore these unknown horrors.

"You've gotten cocky?" Mercury looked at her in surprise.

What were you thinking?

They actually wanted to jump into the cesspool.

Savior complex?

This really fits his stereotype of Japanese high school students.

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze instantly turned eight degrees colder, piercing Mercury's amused expression.

"Drifting? It's better than hiding in someone else's arms like you, pretending to be ignorant even when you know the truth." She sneered, poking the blurry photos on her phone screen with her fingertip. "At least I'm not going to wait until those 'abnormalities' jump onto my face before slowly coming up with a solution."

"Well said." Mercury nodded in agreement with her assessment of him.

I really hope she can maintain this passionate attitude in the future.

Hachiman Hikigaya leaned back in his chair, Mikoto's tentacles wriggling restlessly on the back of his hand.

"Team up? Sounds like the source of trouble." He smirked, his self-deprecating tone barely concealed. "If we get together, we'll probably be treated as an 'abnormal collection' and wiped out all at once."

He shuddered when he thought of the missiles launched by the Japanese high command a few days ago.

I doubt any of them could withstand a missile.

If their existence becomes known to higher-ups, they might be captured and dissected.

"Boring," Tomie said sarcastically.

She has no interest in exploring.

How could someone as beautiful as her do things that only peasants do?

Tomie was unaware that Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't included her, an "ordinary person," in the calculations at all.

"So what were your answers?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the three of them.

She can use her family connections to gather information, and she won't be a hindrance in terms of strength. Both of them also have their own special abilities.

If the three of them form a team, they have enough intelligence to solve the anomaly.
