Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"This is the Beast Group?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, clutching her phone, stood in a place that had been transformed into a large prison.

As far as the eye could see, there was a high wall made of dark gray concrete, covered with brand-new iron mesh.

Next to the steel gate, in the security room, guards stood at attention with guns at the ready, and several gun barrels could be vaguely seen.

The main building in the very center is the core of the entire complex. It is a long building with more than ten floors, and there are two rows of auxiliary buildings of the same height next to it.

I glanced at my phone again, and the map looked like a large mental hospital.

"This...is a legitimate business company, right?"

"Who is it?"

As soon as she got close, the security guards pointed their guns at her.

The thick dark circles under their eyes made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel like these security guards were about to suddenly die at any moment.

He swiped his finger across the phone screen quickly, put the phone away, and a standard smile appeared on his face.

Even with a gun pointed at her, she still had to pretend to be calm.

"Newcomer reporting in," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, unconsciously swallowing.

His gaze swept over the cold gleam of the gun in the security guard's hand.

The security guard was clearly not prepared for this turn of events. He frowned as he looked her over, then took out his phone to check the messages in the group chat.

He then whispered to his companion beside him, "It's that human."

He then waved his hand to the side.

The heavy steel gate creaked and groaned as it slowly slid open, leaving only a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Go in. Lady Aite is in the reception room on the sixth floor of the main building. Gecko, lead her in." The security guard sounded half-dead, then paused and added, "Weapons and equipment can be collected in the lobby of Annex 1."

"Weapons and equipment?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, mentally cursing this lousy place a hundred times over.

What legitimate company requires employees to receive weapons upon joining? This is clearly a war crime.

And did Mercury really consider these people as human beings?

It seems like they're overworking.

Thinking this to himself, but showing no sign of it on his face, he walked in decisively.

……

Kasumigaoka Utaha followed the blond man named Gecko inside. The dark circles under his eyes were even more exaggerated than those of the security guard at the entrance, making him look like he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

"Um, Mr. Gecko, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha deliberately slowed her pace to walk alongside him, but her eyes were scanning the surroundings out of the corner of her eye.

In addition to the smell of disinfectant, there was also a faint metallic odor in the air.

"What exactly is our company's main business again?"

Upon hearing this, Yakumo paused, turning to look at her with a gaze that was both like looking at a fool and a mixture of shared sorrow and helplessness.

"Main business?" He twitched the corner of his mouth and said weakly, "I don't know, but I just can't be idle. I go to some places with strange rumors, work as a mercenary, or be a test subject. There are all sorts of jobs."

Or to prevent things from escaping, and also to act as a security guard.

He choked up as he spoke.

After being captured by the CCG and taken to the prison of the Cuquilia branch, he thought he was going to face that perverted interrogator, but he was rescued before he was even interrogated.

Just when he thought that with Bronze Tree as a powerful backer, good days were about to begin.

Unexpectedly, it was merged into another inhuman group.

They were treated like robots, working non-stop.

He hasn't slept for a day and a night! He only slept for 5 hours the day before yesterday!

Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost her smile: "What's inside? Is there any danger inside?"

"Aren't you and the BOSS on good terms? How could you not know?" Yamori looked at her strangely. He had seen her photos in the elite group.

The nominal boss of the Beast Group had his arm around her shoulder, looking very intimate.

Before he could reply, he pointed to the annex building next door, whose windows were all sealed off with black steel plates.

"The No. 2 annex is where the experimental subjects, the failed ones, and the half-baked ones, are all locked up. In case any of the experimental subjects go crazy, someone has to bring them back down to earth."

He paused, then added, his tone laced with a chilling resignation: "As for overtime? Ha, working overtime here is a blessing. As for the boss..."

Before the words were finished, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire building complex, red warning lights flashed wildly on the corridor ceiling, accompanied by a cold, electronic voice from a loudspeaker:

[WARNING! In Annex 2, an SS-class experimental subject conducted by Dr. Kanou has breached containment!]

[Warning! This experimental subject is a combination of parasites, half-ghouls, machines, and something unknown. All combat personnel must immediately proceed to suppress it!]

Yakumo's expression changed, and he cursed.

"Damn it! Why did it have to come of all times? Go find Lord Aite yourself, he's in the office at the top of the stairs on the sixth floor."

Before he could finish speaking, he flung open the window beside him, his scarlet tail bursting out as he leaped down.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood there stunned for a long time before reacting and instinctively peering out the window.

From the direction of the second annex building, a fleshy, ball-shaped monster, five meters tall, crashed down from the roof.

The monster was covered in grotesque metal components, and countless strips of flesh were writhing wildly, carving deep grooves into concrete walls wherever it went.

It was already surrounded by well-equipped ghouls, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at the bloody scene, her whole body ice-cold, muttering to herself, "This is the Beast Group... This is... the truth of this world?"

……

"The Beast Group?"

Kaguya Shinomiya sat on a luxurious leather sofa, listening to Ai Hayasaka's report, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

"Yes, Miss," Hayasaka Ai reported calmly. "The person you want to recruit has already established a sizable company in Chiba City, and there are even rumors that this company employs ghouls."

"Impossible." Kaguya Shinomiya's tone was firm and left no room for doubt. "How could a man-eating monster be openly employed? Instead of getting hung up on these unfounded rumors, we should first find out what the Beast Group's main business is."

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh.

After that birthday party, she wanted to recruit the powerful Mercury to work for her.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. Before she could put her plans into action, a fierce internal power struggle broke out within the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.

She had already done everything she could to protect herself, and that was only because her cold-blooded father had transferred part of her elder brother's company to her.

Once the Shinomiya Zaibatsu has stabilized, she can try recruiting them again.

But they've already built a corporation out of thin air.

She still wonders how he managed to do it!

Where were the staff recruited? Where did the funding come from? What business does the group operate on?

And how exactly did he manage to transform a mental hospital into the group's headquarters in just ten days?

(The ghoul who died of exhaustion midway: No need for further explanation.)

"Cannot be found."

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking about these things, Ai Hayasaka poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"The Beast Group keeps its business very secret. They can't even afford to eat with just their publicly known mercenary business."

"I'm investigating. I must get him." Kaguya Shinomiya clenched her fists, as if victory was already assured.

"...-_-#"

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye as she watched her young mistress's determined expression.

She really wanted to grab Kaguya Shinomiya by the collar and ask her, "Do you know how many sleepless nights I've spent investigating these damn things?!"
