Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Red Moon Orphanage.

It was already three in the morning when the old dean, who had gotten up early, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

He gazed silently at the sky, lost in thought.

After a while, a pleasant fragrance wafted over, and a figure sat down beside him.

"Old Dean..." Tomie No. 2 looked at the old man with a face full of wrinkles and said softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll handle this myself."

"Nonsense!" the old dean scolded upon hearing this.

"I'll talk to that brat. Your job now is to stay quietly in the orphanage."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

He was also very troubled by the relationship between Tomie, Tomie 2, and Mercury.

The reason I didn't let that brat stay here overnight last time was because I was afraid he would secretly kill this "Tomie" in front of me.

But when it came to speaking, he didn't know how to begin.

We can only drag it out.

And the solution she mentioned, I'm afraid it's not about dealing with Tomie, which is absolutely unacceptable!

As long as he is alive, he will not allow the children in the orphanage to kill each other!

The courtyard fell silent again.

After a while, Tomie-2's gaze became more determined.

"Old Dean, I heard you traveled to many places when you were young."

Upon hearing this, the old dean's heart skipped a beat.

"What do you want to do?"

She took out the map she had found in the old headmaster's bedroom from her bosom and placed it on the stone table.

"I think that instead of making that imposter disappear, we should just force our way in and squeeze out that imposter and that bitch Yuki-onna with absolute strength."

"Do you think there's anything marked on this map that could help me?"

"..."

"None of them are easy to deal with."

After grumbling, the old headmaster got up and went back into the house, taking out a cross and a silver pistol, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"Take this with you."

"A gun? And a cross?"

"A weapon from an old friend, blessed with magic, the patterns on it are enchanted. When you're out and about, you always need some protection."

The old dean's voice was tinged with melancholy, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to his youthful days of crime-solving adventures.

During this time, he lost many friends but also resolved many crises.

In the end, he could only look at his old friends' belongings and reminisce about the laughter and regrets of the past.

When he came to his senses, "Tomie" was already gone, and only an empty old man remained in the courtyard.

"Sigh, it's such a tangled mess."

The old dean sighed, and just as he was about to get up, he froze.

His gaze swept toward the stone table, which had been empty before, but now a creature with a human upper body but no legs appeared on it, curled up like an insect.

His only arm was still like a worm, with obvious joints, and his whole body was as thin as a snake.

At that moment, she was staring at him with two different pairs of heterochromatic eyes.

The old dean frowned, picked up the note that had appeared with it, which contained only three short words.

"A swallowtail butterfly?"

……

At this moment, above the neon lights, on an airship.

Schrödinger gave the fat major a strange salute.

"Major, mission accomplished perfectly."

"You've worked hard." The chubby major glanced at the map on the table and took a moment from his busy schedule to offer a word of praise.

"Hehe, it's no trouble at all." Schrödinger sneaked up to his side and complained, "Major, why don't we just give this thing to Mercury directly? Why go through the trouble of getting it into that orphanage?"

Major, Major, say something! Hello? Lay's Toome Q?

As if annoyed, the fat major finally looked away from the puzzle and held up three fingers.

"First, when faced with a sudden monster, even our thank-you gifts will be turned into salt by that guy."

"Secondly, as long as that old man exists, the orphanage and Mercury are essentially one and the same."

"Thirdly, I also want to know what kind of person this old man, who can educate a madman into a 'human,' will turn into this experimental subject."

"Oh wow~ As expected of a major, meow!" Schrödinger clapped his hands.

The fat major ignored Schrödinger's antics, pushed up his glasses, and stuck the dagger in a corner of the map.

"Hehe, let's set sail. The monsters of this world are waiting for us to eliminate them."

"Yes, Major!"

……

■■Small restaurant.

Neferpitou brought out another jar of wine and gently placed her hand on Mercury's shoulder.

"When you have time, go back to your orphanage. There's an interesting little guy there who made something fun using the things I gave him. Or should I call that thing my kin?"

"Family? Which evil god are you?" Mercury's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if he were asking a question casually.

But his hand had already pulled out his phone, bombarding the old dean with messages.

"You'll have to get to know that gradually." Nefui touched his nose, smiled, and turned to leave.

"Damn Riddler," Mercury said irritably, glancing down at his phone.

The old dean replied to him almost instantly, along with a picture.

Mercury fell silent as he looked at the strangely shaped creature in the picture.

It has a human head, a worm-like body, long purple hair, red pupils, and one eye with no whites, surrounded by black. At first glance, it looks a bit like a half-human, half-worm.

"They really do pick up anything and everything."

Mercury sighed and sent a thumbs-up emoji.

Almost instantly, the fat major also sent a message.

Mercury glanced at it twice, then casually put the phone into his pocket.

"Come on! Keep drinking!"

……

"Mercury, I want to try it with you."

I don't know if it's because I've gained so-called "freedom" or because I'm too lost after leaving home.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been half-forced to drink some wine, suddenly put down her wine glass and looked at Mercury.

Gone was the usual tranquility; there was a sense of resolute determination.

"Give it a try?" Mercury's tone was ambiguous.

He hadn't been drunk for two months, but he was completely drunk here now.

"Yes, let's give it a try."

"No, no, I have a girlfriend and a daughter, I can't do that."

Mercury looked at the packaged desserts next to him.

Without even thinking, I refused outright.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed, "Heh, as expected, you're just a maggot whose brain is full of nonsense."

Before he could reply, she said again, "I want to fight you and see where I really stand in your eyes now."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing to the side, widened his dead fish eyes slightly.

To spar with this Mercury who reeks of blood?

Is he still intoxicated?

Is this really not going to cause any problems?

Mercury did not refuse, setting down his empty wine glass and glancing out the window.

It was pitch black except for the light at the ■■ small restaurant.

"Is she that sharp, Yukino Yukinoshita?"

"It's rare, President, this is the first time you've called me by my full name." Yukino Yukinoshita stood up, looking directly at him without backing down.
