Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Old Dean, I'm going to start my own business!"

After chatting with the old dean for a while and making the old man laugh heartily, Mercury suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Holy crap, what you just said is making me break out in a sweat."

The old dean shuddered and wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.

"You're not cut out for this. It's good that the Beast Group is managed by that kid named Tatara. Don't think about it."

Mercury wasn't surprised that the old dean knew about this, and firmly stated, "I have the potential."

"You are not."

"I am."

"You are not."

"I am not," Mercury said firmly.

"Who are you."

The old dean suddenly paused for a moment, then asked, "...What do you want to do?"

Mercury: "Tell me about some of the strange places you know."

"Not going to be a salted fish anymore?" The old dean didn't smile as expected; instead, his brows furrowed.

Have you finally decided to face it?

That thing that's making this brat so worried.

Have you finally decided to get over it?

Mercury did not reply, but he was thinking about Yukinoshita and the others.

After school starts, we need to find them something to do.

The protagonist's aura cannot be wasted.

As for himself, he'd rather enjoy each day as it comes and find some fun along the way.

"Yay! ♬♬~"

"What are you yelling about? If you have nothing to say, get lost," the old dean said irritably.

"Huh?" Mercury stared wide-eyed in confusion. "Aren't you going to let me stay the night? Even if I'm not a good cook, I can at least have a meal!"

The old dean gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

"Fine, fine, I'm off then." Mercury stood up speechlessly and prepared to leave.

"etc."

He was stopped just as he reached the door.

"Old man, you've changed your mind?" Mercury smirked, his gaze drifting toward a secluded side room in the corner.

If the old man dares to change his mind, he'll rush in and kill the guy.

God knows what it felt like for him to sense that Tomie was in the orphanage.

Hmm...it seems like there aren't many emotional fluctuations anymore...?

Hahaha, has he really gone crazy?

The old dean closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly, "Take that book from my study. Read it when you have time. There are also some snacks. Go back and eat well. You've lost weight..."

"...Is there?"

……

"He's out, he's finally out."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been waiting outside the orphanage until the afternoon, saw Mercury appear, and her voice was no longer cold.

He pulled Hayasaka Ai along and walked over.

"Young lady, slow down." Hayasaka Ai slowed her pace.

Where is your self-restraint?

Are they really willing to disregard everything just to recruit people?

"It's not easy to see each other again, we can't delay." Kaguya Shinomiya's voice was somewhat excited.

After observing and investigating for a long time, we can finally talk face-to-face again.

"etc!"

Mercury had just stepped out of the orphanage gate, still clutching the old book cover with strange patterns in his arms.

My pockets were bulging with snacks given to me by the old dean.

Hearing someone call his name, he slowly turned his head.

Two girls walked over.

The black-haired girl with a sharp aura is none other than Kaguya Shinomiya, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu family.

The blonde woman accompanying her was naturally her personal maid, Hayasaka Ai.

"Hey, isn't this so-and-so?" Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Mercury suddenly had the idea to tease her.

Even individually, these two would be on the must-eat list for some main characters.

"Kaguya Shinomiya, you haven't forgotten my name either, have you?" As she got closer, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes returned to their icy expression.

"Of course I remember, the little follower of the Earth's Cancer." Mercury walked over and stood beside her.

"I didn't expect my little follower to have a little follower too. That blond guy, there's no future in following her, why don't you come with me instead?"

Hayasaka Ai's lips twitched violently, but she maintained a professional and gentle smile on her face, while in her heart she had already cursed Mercury eight hundred times.

"This guy has such a sharp tongue. 'The cancer of the earth'? Could it be Fujiwara Chika? How could he say that? Who else would call their young lady 'little follower'?!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's icy eyes instantly turned furious, and the oppressive atmosphere around her almost solidified.

He just stared at her.

Mercury, holding the old book with its strange patterns, met her gaze and began playing a game of whoever blinked first lost.

A few seconds later...

You lost.

Kaguya Shinomiya: "???"

What? What's going on? How did she suddenly lose?

baffling!

Taking a deep breath, she once again donned the composure and arrogance befitting a chaebol heiress.

He looked at Mercury, his gaze fixed on the old book in his arms.

The book's cover had an obscure and eerie pattern, exuding an indescribable sinister aura that sent a chill down her spine before she looked away.

"Join me, and whatever you want to do, I can provide you with top-notch support in terms of funding, connections, and venues. There's only one condition: become my retainer."

As he spoke, he straightened his back even more, as if that made him look more imposing.

Hayasaka Ai, standing to the side, felt her heart sink.

The chances of them joining were already slim, yet they're acting like they're in a Mercedes.

Although she knew that the young lady didn't actually mean that.

Mercury almost couldn't help but laugh.

"You should sit at the same table as Yukinoshita."

"What do you mean?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, puzzled.

"It means you're just like her, narrow-minded and prone to daydreaming." Mercury looked down at her chest.

Are these two small things, each weighing a tael or two, really worth half a tael or eight taels together?

They're all not very capable, but they have pretty grand ideas.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked down in confusion, but saw nothing but her toes.

I don't understand what he means.

"Chest, it's chest ♬♬~" Mercury sang out loud, grabbing at the air with his hands and then letting them fall flat, as if touching an invisible wall.

"Most people are like this, but you are like this, you get it? Without pressure, you'll definitely have sweet dreams when you sleep."

Now she understood.

The girl's cheeks flushed instantly, a mixture of shame and anger washing over her. Her icy voice trembled as she cried out, "Mercury! How dare you! How dare you... how dare you treat me so disrespectfully!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Mercury's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some interesting toy.

Turning to Hayasaka Ai, he asked, "Has your young lady always been this naive?"

Hayasaka Ai's lips twitched even more violently. She was crying for help in her heart, but she still had to maintain her composure on the surface and forced a smile without saying a word.

She just shrank back silently, wishing she could disappear on the spot.

"You don't even know **?"

He clenched his fist, extended a finger with his other hand, and then made a gesture.

"What does this mean?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, looking at Ai Hayasaka.

Hayasaka Ai: "..."

Helpless, she could only explain in a low voice to the young lady.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya's mind exploded instantly, her entire face turned even redder, burning hot, the redness spreading from her cheeks to her neck, and even steam rising from the top of her head.

Pointing at Mercury, she was so angry she could barely speak: "You...you're utterly shameless! You scoundrel!"

In all her life, she had never been teased or mocked so openly, especially about such a private and sensitive topic.

Feeling embarrassed and wronged, I forced myself to hold back my tears.

"Hahahaha!!!" Mercury burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

It's so much fun! It's really so much fun!

"I'll take you to do something fun. You need to change your personality."

After laughing enough, he stood up and patted Kaguya Shinomiya on the shoulder.

One good idea after another flashed through my mind.
