Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"He's practically a superman!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, hiding at home, stared in disbelief through the window at the slender boy who suddenly appeared and killed the monsters with a single punch and kick.

He did not use any firearms; his slender figure carried a violence that was completely different from his gentle appearance with every raised hand and every step.

Those twisted monsters, impervious to blades and bullets, crumbled under his fists.

Behind him, Komachi Hikigaya peeked out and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! What a huge fox! And a horse monster?"

"A fox?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked.

What fox?

Seeing this, Komachi Hikigaya pointed behind Natsume, "Right behind him, those two giant monsters."

"I can't see..."

"Seriously, Onii-chan is so stupid."

Komachi Hikigaya grasped his hand, and Unouchi's colorful body enveloped him.

In an instant! The world changed color!

Staring with dead fish eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly narrowed his pupils as he looked behind the boy.

This time he saw it clearly!

The creature, hundreds of times larger than a fox, had strange, tattoo-like markings on its forehead and around its eyes, giving it a somewhat sacred appearance.

On the other side of the fox, a horse-faced monster, entirely black with flowing brown fur and dressed in clothes, stood silently.

The two monsters did not make a move; they were "docilely" protecting the thin boy behind them.

"Onii-chan, you look so blank." Komachi Hikigaya tugged at his sleeve, her eyes still sparkling as she stared out the window. "That big fox looks so majestic, and the horse-headed yokai is following that gentle older brother."

As if sensing something, Takashi Natsume turned his head and glanced lightly at the residential buildings, his gaze gentle yet penetrating.

He smiled and nodded when he saw Hachiman Hikigaya.

They then began to painstakingly clear a path through the monsters to survive!

……

While Natsume was trying to put out the fire, at the Red Moon Orphanage...

Mercury looked speechlessly at the old dean, with Yuki-onna Fuyuki and Tomie sitting beside him.

The two women disliked each other, yet neither could do anything about the other.

"I'm telling you, you're still laughing? Aren't you worried that that great saint might die out there?"

"Who? Who died outside?" the old dean asked with a chuckle.

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's our Natsume, the Great Sage Natsume!"

"How gentle and brave she is! With someone protecting her, she has a bright future ahead of her. She's the perfect protagonist template, but she's just not quite suited to this world."

A person who embodies gentleness, courage, and kindness is undoubtedly a good person.

A truly good and saintly person.

"You shouldn't have given him those things. With great power comes great responsibility, and that will definitely happen to him."

After saying this, Mercury opened his palm and placed it in front of Deep Winter.

She placed an ice cube in her hand, and Mercury took it and bit into it hard.

As the icy ice burst in his mouth, Mercury sat quietly on the stone chair, experiencing the sensory stimulation.

In the everyday world, or even in a normal alternate world, someone like Natsume would be able to get along well.

But unfortunately, the world is not kind to people like that.

The old dean's fingertips traced the armrest of the stone chair, the smile on his face gradually fading. After a long while, he sighed softly, "There are some paths I can guide, but I cannot choose for them."

After speaking, the old dean was silent for a moment, then looked at Mercury with a complicated expression. "Just like you, Tomie, and Eto, each of you has flaws in your personalities, and I have never thought of planning the path you will take in the future."

The same goes for Natsume. Whatever path he chooses, this old man can offer him little more than some meager support; there's nothing else I can teach him.

Mercury remained silent, then took another block of ice from Deep Winter's hand, bit into it again, and the ice shards exploded in his mouth.

Gazing at the continuous explosions echoing across the distant horizon, a smile curled at the corner of his lips, a smile that was hard to decipher as either mockery or regret.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As the atmosphere fell silent, the old dean suddenly laughed and patted Mercury on the shoulder with his rough hand.

"You little rascal, you've changed a lot. You've become unable to empathize with ordinary people, but you've also become concerned about your brothers and sisters who went to the orphanage."

The old dean laughed loudly, tears even welling in his eyes, as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden.

After a while, the laughter stopped, and the old dean was breathing heavily.

He looked at Mercury, his eyes conveying an indescribable emotion.

Relief? Relief? Or a deeper expression?

"Don't worry, Natsume is very strong. I taught him some of Reiko's attack techniques before, and he's not rigid. If he can't beat someone, he can run away..." The old headmaster started rambling again, going over Natsume's personality, his strengths and weaknesses.

Tell everyone present.

Even Matsuzaka Satou and Yoshimura Eto, who originally didn't care about such trivial matters, quietly perked up their ears.

"Stop, I don't have time to hear about that great philanthropist's deeds. Now that we're sure everything's alright, let's go back." Mercury, tired of listening to the old headmaster's rambling, stood up from the stone chair.

They left with Tomie and Fuyu.
