Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

A strange sight appeared in Chiba City: rings of sonic boom clouds appeared in the sky above the city.

Following a straight trajectory, it heads straight for one place.

As the missile-like trajectory swept across the path, the people along that straight line began to awaken from their dreams.

Before those who had just regained consciousness could figure out what was happening, vortex shapes appeared on their backs.

Like a snail shell, it clung tightly to their backs.

"What's going on?!"

"Can anyone tell me what happened? Why is it so chaotic!"

"The end of the world, haha, this is the end of the world!"

"I'm the protagonist, just like in a dream!"

A blond thug looked at the man who had been hit and killed by a car in front of him, covered his face and burst into laughter.

The apocalypse setting is perfect for him as the protagonist!

Forgetting all about the absurd scenes in his dream, he excitedly picked up the steel pipe from the ground, ready to rush into the police station and seize the guns.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the blond thug bent over abruptly.

The fabric on his back was instantly torn apart, revealing a snail's shell, and his whole body began to feel sticky, with his eyes bulging out.

The steel pipe in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the fanaticism in his pupils was completely replaced by fear. He could only watch as his arm twisted at an eerie angle.

It wasn't just him.

The entire street, traced by the sonic boom, was filled with screams that instantly ripped the sky apart.

Then things returned to calm.

……

Red Moon Orphanage.

At this moment, the place was completely silent; even the insects in the forest had stopped chirping.

It looked lifeless.

Inside the courtyard, the butterfly felt the familiar yet unfamiliar laughter echoing in her ears before disappearing in an instant.

"Is it...my god?"

Although it was the first time she had heard it, she immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

This was also the first time that he clearly knew his identity.

Family members! Servants!

Turning to look at the old dean, who had just been telling stories, he was now slumped over the stone table.

"...a being that connects reality and dreams, weaving the tapestry of fantasy."

Upon hearing this, Fengdie quickly shut her mouth, looked at the sleeping old dean, silently carried him on her shoulder, and placed him on the bed.

He then returned to the stone table and picked up the old dean's "storybook" to read.

Her long hair covered her eyes, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

As for the other three people still in the orphanage, Fengdie felt that she didn't need to care about them.

That's what she was thinking. Suddenly, her hand, which was turning the pages of the book, paused, and she looked up at the distant horizon.

In the sky.

The trajectory of the sonic boom that had traversed the entire city of Chiba suddenly trembled violently.

It contracted rapidly toward the Red Moon Orphanage in a manner that defied the laws of physics.

Phoenix Butterfly frowned, and in her right eye, which was slightly cracked, seven or eight compound eyes turned together, quickly locking onto the two people in the air.

A man is holding a woman as they plummet rapidly.

Wherever it passed, space distorted and light was swallowed up.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures crashed onto the open ground inside the orphanage.

The opposite side trembled, and dust billowed up.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, their figures reappeared.

"Where's the old dean?!" Mercury looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure before him.

Swallowtail butterfly!

The protagonist of a game initially resembles a soft-bodied worm with the upper body of a human.

The final form it takes when raised to its full potential is a woman who looks like a spider girl.

The right arm is a tentacle, while the left arm and the area below the ribs are human arms with three insect-like joints. The left eye will gradually split open, and a small part of the face will be covered with dense compound eyes.

It makes people's sanity drop drastically just by looking at it.

"Stop wasting your breath on her, just go in." Tomie said impatiently, putting the exorcism sword back into her waistband. Her red hair gradually returned to its original color, and the paint on her face faded away.

"Mercury, Tomie," Phoenix said, looking at the two of them.

The old dean showed her photos of the two of them.

Although we had never met before, I recognized him.

"The old director is asleep in the room." She said this with a touch of the friction unique to insects.

The way he spoke, enunciating each word slowly and deliberately, was very unpleasant to listen to.

Mercury and Tomie's faces darkened simultaneously.

The old dean actually got infected? How is that possible?!

What exactly is going on with this strange incident?

……

"Natsume, come quick! This is a really serious matter."

In a small town in Kumamoto City, a fat cat resembling a tricolor dumpling jumped onto the head of a blond boy, carrying a cell phone in its mouth.

Takashi Natsume was squatting in the yard, watering the wildflowers in the corner. Hearing this, he paused slightly, then reached out and lifted the round cat teacher off his head.

She took the smartphone from his mouth with her fingertips, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Teacher San San, please don't touch my phone." He said softly, but his eyes were already on the screen.

The headlines of the news push notifications were glaringly offensive—

A large-scale gas leak has occurred in Chiba City, causing widespread loss of consciousness among people. Authorities are currently managing the situation and urging residents not to panic; everything is under control.

There was only one short sentence, and not even any footage of the scene.

However, someone named "Xiaoxi is a good kid" posted a video in the comments section.

The sonic boom clouds in the sky had not yet completely dissipated, pedestrians lay sprawled on the streets, and flames soared into the distance; the chaos was palpable even through the screen.

When I clicked on it again, the video was blocked.

The cat teacher curled up into a ball, licked his paws, and his tone was less lazy than usual. "This is not an ordinary anomaly. The whole of Chiba City is acting strangely. It must be an unusually powerful spiritual creature."

Even through the screen, his body was trembling instinctively.

This is not a great monster, nor even a god.

It was even more profound and terrifying than that.

"Chiba..." Natsume Takashi murmured, his fingers flying down the comments section, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"Natsume, why don't you move with your uncle and aunt? Nobody knows if it will spread," Nyanko-sensei suggested.

Kumamoto City is not far from Chiba City, so we must plan ahead.

"No, teacher, let's go to Chiba." Takashi Natsume immediately stood up, picked up his coat draped over his shoulder, and said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Huh?" Nyanko-sensei looked at him like he was an idiot, then bristled instantly. "Natsume, are you crazy?! In that situation, everyone else would be running away as fast as they could, and you're going to offer yourself up? If you get entangled, even I can't protect you!"

"Please, teacher, there are very important people of mine there." Takashi Natsume's voice was soft, but it carried an unwavering determination.

He was considered an oddball by everyone since childhood because he could see monsters, and a burden that relatives avoided. It was his current uncle and aunt who gave him the warmth of a family.

At the Red Moon Orphanage in Chiba City, the seemingly ordinary old man was one of the few who accepted him, saw through the world in his eyes, never asked questions, and silently protected him.

He will remember that tenderness for the rest of his life.

Nyanko-sensei fell silent, gazing in the direction of Chiba City, his ears twitching slightly.

After a long while, he irritably flicked his tail, his tone fierce but without any intention of refusing: "You can go, but you must listen to me. You are not allowed to act on your own, you are not allowed to rush in and be a pushover, and you are not allowed to leave my sight."

Natsume's tense lips finally relaxed a little, and a warmth appeared in his eyes. "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, teacher."

"And one more thing!" Nyanko-sensei suddenly sat up straight, his face serious. "When we get back, we need five times the usual amount of the three-colored dumplings from Nanatsuji-ya, not a single one less!"

"Okay, five times the amount, I'll buy it all for you."
