Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Okay, no problem, cash on delivery. What? 2,00 million? Are you robbing me?!"

"Let me tell you, nobody dares to steal my money, nobody!"

"10 Neon Dollars, take it or leave it."

Mercury, carrying Sylvie on his back, cursed into the phone.

He dared to charge $200 million for just sending a few people to Japan!

He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the veins on Mercury's forehead throbbed. Sylvie, who was on his back, seemed to be startled by his roar and carefully gripped his arm.

Soft strands of hair brushed against his taut skin, instantly softening his agitated tone. "Cai Wei, huh? You've got guts! You fucking have guts, 2 million it is, just you wait, come to Japan, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Mercury hung up the call and shoved the phone into his pocket.

The little one on his back breathed as lightly as a feather, her fingertips still clutching the hem of his clothes, timid and afraid to exert any force.

Mercury put Sylvie down and took her hand.

"Let's go, let's go buy you clothes."

Sylvie looked uneasy and asked cautiously, "But you don't have any money, do you...?"

"That's not important." Mercury looked down into her eyes, conveying his thoughts.

"Sylvie, remember, it's not that we're not giving you money, but that we're giving you money in a planned way. We'll give you money after you've bought enough. In short, we'll give you money next time."

"...I understand." Sylvie nodded, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she asked, "Do I have a mother?"

The moment she said those words, Sylvie herself froze and quickly lowered her head.

She's really pushing her luck, even asking questions about her "master".

"Your mother...?" Mercury paused for a moment, and the image of Tomie immediately came to mind.

Then the figure of Yuki-onna in deep winter appeared.

"Probably." Mercury's tone was also somewhat doubtful; neither of these two were exactly friendly.

I wonder what Tomie will think when she finds out she has a daughter out of nowhere.

And then there's Yuki-onna, who's really going to be a mother this time.

That said, he hadn't seen Tomie for a long time since he sent her to the orphanage in the deep winter.

I don't know what they're doing.

……

At this moment, Mercury is reminiscing about the Snow Woman in the depths of winter, in a forest in the rural city of Kumamoto.

He sat cross-legged on the lawn, with a pot of wine and a bowl in front of him.

Opposite her was a beautiful woman with long blue hair, smoking a pipe, and a huge... white-haired horse demon?

"Deep winter, it's amazing you still came back for the monster party, and your alcohol tolerance seems to have increased."

"Yes, this time when you came back, you seemed to have a human scent on you."

Snow Woman took a sip of wine in the dead of winter, her face flushed.

"Bing, Sanxiao, what do you think I can do to get another woman away from my boyfriend, or rather, to get another woman to accept me?"

Upon hearing this, Bing nearly dropped the pipe he was holding, his eyes widened abruptly, and he even stopped puffing out smoke.

Sanxiao's massive body stiffened, his black ears suddenly perked up, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Even the wind in the woods seemed to quiet down a bit.

Bing was the first to recover, tapping his pipe lightly on the stone, his tone full of surprise: "You're actually worried this much about a human man? Did I hear that right?"

Sanxiao shook his head and transformed into a handsome human wearing a tall suit.

"That shouldn't be the case, Fuyu, don't you like Reiko?"

When asked this question, Yuki-onna Shin-fuyu picked up the sake jug, filled it with sake, and took a big gulp.

Should she tell the two of them that Reiko is dead?

The thought lingered in my mind for a moment, but ultimately turned into a very soft sigh.

Unlike other monsters, she was not oblivious to the passage of time; decades were just a nap for her.

In terms of their sense of time, this kind of yokai, who can be seen by humans, is actually not much different from humans.

It was only after realizing this that she quietly left the forest where she had lived for so long.

Lingzi's life was too short, so short that she didn't even have a chance to properly spend time with her, leaving only memories scattered all over the place.

A few years is far too short for humankind...

Bing seemed to notice the strangeness in her eyes, and slowed down his smoking, the playfulness in his eyes under his blue hair lessening.

Is this guy serious?

Sanxiao, disguised as a tall man in a suit, stood quietly to the side, his handsome face showing gentle concern. He didn't ask any further questions, but simply pushed the fruit plate in front of her.

Snow Woman took another sip of wine in the deep winter, her cheeks flushed even more, and she tapped the wine bowl lightly with her fingertips, her voice carrying a hint of grievance, yet also a sense of determination.

"He has a girl named Tomie by his side, never leaving his side. I can't get close at all. Moreover, I can feel that his feelings for Tomie are deeper than his feelings for me."

But I will win, I absolutely will win.

Bing scoffed, exhaling a smoke ring, his tone tinged with disappointment: "You're supposed to be the Snow Maiden of Deep Winter, a renowned and formidable demon, and now you've reduced yourself to this state for a man?"

"That's different." Deep Winter pouted, revealing a gentle smile. "Mercury is my son... no, he's my man, and I don't want him to be sad."

"No, Deep Winter, why are you still like this?"

Upon hearing the word "son," Bing couldn't hold back any longer.

It was the same when I first met Lingzi; as a result, Lingzi beat me up and even stole my name.

Is this another relapse?

Sanxiao shrugged, deciding to join the conversation.

Based on his many years of experience, for human males, it should be...

"After you go back, do this...do this...and then do this..."

As the snow woman listened intently into the depths of winter, a blush quickly spread across her face.

Will this... will this work?

……

the other side.

Mercury led Sylvie past a strange shop; from the outside, it was impossible to tell what kind of shop it was.

"All done."

Mercury decided to go in the moment he saw it.

Sure enough, when he pulled Sylvie inside, all that came into view was a variety of women's clothing.

Standing next to her was a tall, blonde woman with wavy hair, wearing a red cheongsam and a strange red hat.

His enormous chest seemed poised to burst forth at any moment, and the expression on his face was strange.

"Oh my, did you bring this little girl to buy clothes? Is that right?"

As soon as the two entered, the strange woman greeted them warmly and began talking to herself.

"Because I'll be frank, this little girl's clothes are really not very nice, but the quality of this white cloak is quite good. Do you want to wait for me while I pick out a suitable outfit for her?"

"Alright." Mercury looked at the flustered Sylvie and gently patted her head. "Go ahead, don't be afraid."

"Okay, Dad." Sylvie uneasily let go of his hand and walked with the strange shopkeeper into the changing room.

After a while, Sylvie, whose appearance had changed drastically, came out.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. Do you think it's beautiful? Can't you recognize it?" The strange shopkeeper introduced it happily.

Sylvie put on a decent outfit, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Does a slave like her really deserve to wear such clothes?

"Such a young and lovely girl, yet she's dressed like a slave. It's really too much! You probably think her current outfit suits her well, right? If you think it suits her, then buy it!"

"It is indeed very suitable." Mercury nodded, looking at the shopkeeper with great sincerity. "However, the problem here is that I want this item, but I don't have the money. What do you suggest we do?"

"..."
