Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

As night fell, the Yukinoshita family mansion was illuminated by a somber light.

The area in front of the courtyard was already filled with luxury cars.

Pushing open the teak door, a warm, yet not glaring, crystal chandelier spills out.

Inside was a Western-style banquet hall, with long tables covered in ivory velvet and porcelain polished to a shine, transforming the entire hall into a banquet setting.

Lady Yukinoshita stood near the main seat.

Her black hair was neatly styled, and she wore a dark blue fitted dress. Her smile, nod, and toast were all executed with precision.

While dealing with the guests, her gaze drifted to her daughter standing in the corner, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita is even more at home. She moves sweetly among the elders, playing the role of the perfect successor.

In contrast to her, Yukino Yukinoshita stood by the window, wearing an ice-blue dress and with her black hair hanging down.

Like a perfect ice sculpture, holding champagne but not drinking it.

He would respond politely when someone spoke to him, but his eyes held a hint of aloofness.

"It's all just hypocritical socializing, but we have to do it anyway," Yukino Yukinoshita muttered to herself.

In the past, she would rarely attend such meaningless banquets.

This trip to the rainforest ultimately changed some aspects of her personality.

Necessary social interactions can sometimes be useful.

Perhaps we will receive some equal assistance.

Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.

She didn't turn around.

"Running away again?" It was Yukinoshita Haruno's voice.

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "I'm just getting used to it."

"That's good, that's our life."

"...I will not become like you and Mother."

"I hope so." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled.

……

in the corner.

A figure eating with hearty gusto seemed out of place here.

With her red hair and tattoos on her arms, Levi sat there casually, wearing a cheap leather jacket and super short denim shorts.

Beside her sat the upright Yakumo.

She had her blonde hair slicked back and kept checking the time.

"This place is really nice. It's a shame you ghouls can't eat human food," Revy said, stuffing another small cake into her mouth.

Yakumo glanced at her but didn't reply, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his knee.

If he hadn't received news that the BOSS was coming to cause trouble, he would never have set foot in such a prestigious gathering in his life.

Seeing that he ignored her, Levi didn't mind and continued to eat heartily, muttering to herself, "If I hadn't come along to join in the fun, I wouldn't want to stay in this stuffy place."

"Oh dear, this customer looks rather bored. Would you like a drink?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle voice rang out from the corner. Yukinoshita Haruno stood in front of the two of them, holding a champagne glass and smiling, but her eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

She had noticed these two people long ago.

She knew the former; the Beast Group, although they had no connection with the Yukinoshita family, it was not surprising that they would attend a banquet.

This woman's identity is somewhat questionable.

Especially those two guns tucked into his waistband, were they replicas?

Just as he was about to speak tentatively, a series of exclamations came from the doorway.

"It's actually the former head of the Shinomiya family!"

"How is that possible? I've never heard of the Yukinoshita family collaborating with the Shinomiya Zaibatsu."

"Wait! There are others!"

"This is... Minister Fujiwara!"

"The people surrounding Minister Fujiwara are several key members of the House of Councillors! They are all influential figures in politics!"

"My God, why are all these top figures attending the Yukinoshita family's banquet? This makes no sense at all!"

The murmurs grew louder and louder, disrupting the previously soothing symphony. All the guests' eyes were focused on the entrance to the mansion, and the previously composed socialites stopped what they were doing, their faces filled with astonishment and unease.

It's important to know that the Shinomiya zaibatsu has companies all over Japan, and is even known as the heart of Japan!

Minister Fujiwara was a powerful figure in politics; to put it bluntly, he could bankrupt these small groups with just a word!

The political figures around them were people they couldn't curry favor with even in normal times.

It's highly suspicious that this group of people, who rarely gather even at top-tier banquets, have all appeared at Yukinoshita's private party.

Lady Yukinoshita, who was originally standing in the main seat, also changed her expression. She tightened her grip on the wine glass, and her eyes revealed astonishment and solemnity.

If it were their sons or daughters who came, she might not have lost her composure like this!

But the truth is, these influential figures actually came to attend her small banquet in person!

Yukino also looked towards the entrance instantly, her sweet smile fading as she quietly moved in front of Yukino and gripped her skirt tightly.

In the face of absolute money and power, any so-called performance is nothing but a joke.

Yukino, standing by the window, frowned slightly, her cool eyes fixed on the person who had just arrived.

For some reason, she always felt that these people came because of her.

In the corner, Levi abruptly stopped chewing her dessert, a playful smile playing on her lips. "Looks like the real show is about to begin, much more interesting than I expected."

Yakumo Omori frowned. What were these old guys doing here?

Fujiwara Daichi stepped into the banquet hall first. His leather boots made a soft sound on the polished marble floor, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Behind him, Shinomiya Gan'an and the members of the Senate followed slowly. No one spoke, but the oppressive aura emanating from him instantly silenced the once noisy hall, making even breathing become cautious.

The guests present straightened up and kept smiling, all the previous social formalities vanished, leaving only awe and fear of top power.

Lady Yukinoshita took a deep breath, her flawless smile returning to her face, and stepped forward to greet them.

"Lord Fujiwara, Lord Shinomiya, what brings you all here today? Your humble abode is truly honored."

Her words carried a polite, tentative tone. Her gaze quickly swept over the people behind her, but she didn't see any familiar faces from the Yukinoshita family's business partners, which deepened her doubts.

"Don't be nervous, I was just passing by and happened to come and take a look."

Fujiwara Daichi stopped and slowly scanned the entire scene, finally fixing his gaze on Yukino Yukinoshita by the window.

He exchanged a glance with Shinomiya Yan'an without making it obvious.

That's why they came here.

Since no one wants to be the first to contact the dangerous Mercury, it's better to contact the people around him and make preparations for the future.

Lady Yukinoshita noticed Fujiwara Daichi's gaze, her smile froze for a moment, then she regained her composure, though her back tensed slightly.

"Looking at Yukino? Has this child gotten into trouble? No! Even if she's caused a huge disaster, she wouldn't come to confront me personally."

"Could it be about the rainforest?"

What did this girl do that I don't know about?
