Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

[This is the evening news. I'm your host, Art. Just yesterday, news came from Great Britain that London, the capital, was recently attacked by terrorists. According to statistics, 150 people were killed and more than 300 million people are missing.]

Based on available information, it is inferred that the terrorists who invaded Great Britain are likely remnants of the Third Reich. Her Majesty the Queen has issued a stern warning to them and condemned the Third Reich.

[It is noteworthy that Her Majesty the Queen issued a strongly worded public warning to one of the mysterious figures, listing him as the most unpopular person in Great Britain, bar none.]

[Now let's look back at the domestic situation. This month, Japan's crime rate has steadily increased, rising by 28 percent compared to last month, setting a new record high.]

[Among them, Tokyo, Kyoto, Chiba, Tokoname, and surrounding cities have seen the highest crime rates in history, with an average of about 20 people dying every day in each city.]

[It's worth mentioning that recently, several people have witnessed strange events, including a giant doll-like rabbit and the urban legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.]

Experts say these unrealistic and panic-inducing messages are all nonsense.

[The following is an investigation report on man-eating monsters such as parasites and ghouls...]

[Expert research has shown that parasites are different from ghouls; they are humanoid creatures with extremely high intelligence. Human society should adopt an inclusive attitude towards this species and seek ways to coexist with them...]

……

The night was as dark as ink. Mercury casually pressed the remote control to turn off the TV and snuggled up to Tomie on the soft sofa.

After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned and left.

But as he was leaving, his gaze toward Mercury was unusually complex.

That undisguised gaze was clearly directed at a complete scumbag.

"Looks like the parasites are going to be pulled out of the cesspool," Mercury said, holding Tomie with a sigh.

I never imagined that something that eats people could still slowly stand in the sunlight.

Haha, that's really scary.

Tomie placed her hand on his cheek, and the two looked into each other's eyes. "What does it have to do with us? Even if everyone in this country dies, we'll still live well."

"That's right." Mercury closed his eyes and pressed his face against hers, the warmth of their breath lingering on each other's cheeks.

"It doesn't matter what the outside world becomes, it's already a mess."

"That's right. As long as we're alive, that's all that matters. It's just the two of us," Tomie said softly, her eyes full of doting affection.

Mercury's eyes were also full of doting affection, and only in the darkness could the two of them put aside their tempers.

Enjoying their eternal world together.

but……

"You'd better not let the old man hear you say that, or he might hit you on the head."

As soon as Mercury finished speaking, he saw Tomie slightly furrow her brows, revealing a hint of undisguised willfulness.

"The old man is too old; he doesn't have many years left to live."

Her smile lingered on her lips, but it contained no joy; instead, it was tinged with a melancholy that she herself was unwilling to admit.

He understood her inexplicable emotions.

Tomie never felt even the slightest sadness for the suffering of others; in her eyes, such feelings were never worth mentioning.

But the old dean was different; he was the one who watched them grow up and sheltered them from their whims.

It is the anchor point connecting everyone in the orphanage.

Whether it's Eto Yoshimura, the city-destroying ghoul, Sugar Matsuzaka, who is gradually reforming herself, or Takashi Natsume, whom she has yet to meet, etc.

As long as the old dean is still alive, everyone will be connected by a thread.

Even people with personalities like Tomie and myself would be mindful of certain unspoken rules.

With this old man around, they have a shared "home".

With the old man gone, the aura of "family affection" between them is gone.

At least a large portion of them won't...

Mercury looked at Tomie, and this time he took the initiative to kiss her.

Tomie paused slightly, the melancholy in her eyes still lingering, but her body instinctively responded to the gentle kiss.

The moonlight from outside the window fell on the two of them, shutting out the thick darkness.

……

Inside the Red Moon Orphanage.

The old dean tucked Fengdie in and sat down by the bed to tell her a story.

This little guy is growing very fast. In less than a week, he has already grown twice the size. His tail has started to grow thighs, and even his waist has grown arms that look like spider joints.

At mealtimes, I no longer have to pounce on my prey like a wild animal. I've clumsily learned to use chopsticks, though my movements are still awkward and I occasionally spill food on the table.

Her mind is progressing faster than her body, and this is precisely the time when she needs proper guidance; there is no room for carelessness.

The butterfly looked at the old man; three pupils had already appeared in its right eye.

The predatory and murderous intent still lingered in his eyes, but something else inexplicable had also appeared.

"Today I'll tell you a story about a detective who infiltrates the CCG to investigate its deepest darkness, only to be kicked out..."

The old dean spoke slowly, dissecting the dark side of officialdom and the brilliance of humanity word by word.

He was very confident that his educational philosophy would definitely cultivate her into a child with the right values.

……

In Tokyo, the spicy aroma of sake permeates the air inside an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Marutei slammed his hand on the table, spilling most of the wine from his glass. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with rage.

"This is utter nonsense!"

He clenched his fists, looked at Arima across from him, whose expression was equally grave, and spoke with a tone full of resentment.

He had heard those experts' high-sounding pronouncements on TV countless times at the bureau, and found them utterly absurd and laughable.

"Have those old guys sitting in the office been bribed by Parasites! Are they expecting us to tolerate a group of monsters that feed on humans?"

I think those old guys' brains are stuck in cow dung!

Marutei took a big gulp of sake, the strong liquor burning his throat, but it couldn't quell the anger in his heart.

Crime rates are soaring in Tokyo and throughout Japan, bizarre incidents are occurring frequently on the streets, and ghoul crimes are becoming increasingly rampant.

Now those old guys are secretly plotting to get the parasite to clean up its identity and come out into the open.

"Damn it, they should all be killed!"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Kishou Arima also raised his glass, which was unusual for him. "The monsters in the deep sea have strayed from their guiding path. Those strange fish with mechanical legs will come ashore sooner or later. With more intelligence from these parasites, we can quickly develop some weapons."

Other countries think the same way.

Arima Kishou didn't say the last sentence.

"I know, but I just look down on them! What are human weapons for?! Where are the missiles?! Where are the Vulcan Gatling guns?! Are those weapons just for show?!"

Even if we send an army to guard the coastline, our human weapons can kill those fish!

Marutei took another swig of sake, his disgust for the higher-ups growing even stronger.

They were simply eyeing the intelligence of the parasites, wanting to study some "forbidden" things.

For example, things like extending lifespan.

They even have the audacity to use disaster as an excuse!

They'll get what's coming to them sooner or later!
