Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Cold, shivering.

Inside the sewer, a slug the size of a baby is crawling along the wall.

Unlike ordinary slugs, it doesn't have a shell on its back, but instead has a human head that looks like a young girl.

Despair was evident in the girl's head.

Consciousness resisted frantically, but it was all in vain.

She simply couldn't control the slugs she spat out!

The girl's consciousness followed the slug's movements, and she could clearly feel the sensations emanating from the slug below.

[I'm scared... I don't want to go back... It hurts...]

These feelings surged from the deepest part of her mind, tearing at her reason.

To be honest, she really empathizes with this situation.

After all, she was present during the experiment, acting as the slug's shell and undergoing the experiment alongside it.

The feeling of needles pricking the body... blood draws... even asexual reproduction experiments...

Something... is coming...

Just as the girl with the severed head was recalling the events with fear, the slug acted on its inexplicable instincts again.

"What?" the girl with the severed head asked, puzzled.

What's coming?

This question lasted only a few seconds before the sound of ants crawling came from the end of the sewer.

As the sound grew louder, a vast expanse of white waves came into view!

It stretched as far as the eye could see, as if an endless tide of salt was sweeping in through the sewers!

At this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly.

So much so that the girl with the severed head still had time to analyze it.

"Logically, with so much salt, the salty and astringent smell should be very strong."

"How strange, there's no strange smell, it actually feels very sacred."

"If I am guilty, dying in this wave doesn't seem so bad."

The girl with the human head closed her eyes, as if she were in a sea of ​​flowers, and on the other side of the river, an indistinct figure was waving to her.

And then—

【Aa ...

A sharp, almost piercing fear exploded along the nerves!

It wasn't her fear.

It's a slug.

That kind of instinctive fear etched into our genes.

Salt is the natural enemy of slugs!

[It hurts!! It will hurt!! It will kill me!!]

The slug's consciousness is screaming.

It wanted to escape.

But my body felt like it was nailed to the spot, and I couldn't move at all.

Too scared.

Instinctive fear overwhelmed everything, including the will to survive.

The girl with the severed head could clearly feel that fear.

'……Fool.'

She suddenly cursed in her mind.

'What's there to be afraid of?'

'It's just salt.'

'We've endured things that were even more painful than this, haven't we?'

At this moment, the headless girl's consciousness was clearer than ever before.

……

10 minutes ago.

on the ground.

Mercury watched as Yoshimura Eto was slaughtering slugs, and in one swift motion, he jumped onto her shoulder.

"Calm down, you look really bad."

"Hehehe! Where did this little bug come from!"

A palm came whistling in, accompanied by a loud slap, and landed on my shoulder.

Yoshimura Eto thought the little bug had been swatted dead. Just as she was about to remove her hand, she sensed something was wrong.

The pain traveled up my palm.

Mercury was still standing on her shoulder, but her palm had been punched with a large hole, and the fine salt sprinkled on the wound intensified the pain.

"Calmed down?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Eto's head, which had been clouded by anger, regained its senses.

"Hehehe! Mercury? What are you doing here?"

"It's all because of you bunch of good-for-nothings who are good at nothing but ruining things."

Mercury cursed and sat down on her shoulder, the fine salt cascading down his wrist and flowing onto the ground.

The salt disaster formed instantly, flowing into the sewers and beginning to engulf all living things.

Yoshimura Ete watched all this, not daring to move.

"Old Mo, be careful not to get any salt on me."

"What kind of weird nickname is 'Old Mo'?" Mercury quipped.

"Hehehe... What's that called? A boss who doesn't care about anything? A do-nothing boss? Hehehehe..."

Mercury: "..."

He decided to give up arguing with this guy whose brain wasn't working so well after he turned into a dragon about what to call him.

The salt tide sped up and soon found what he was looking for.

"That's interesting, they even know to hide in the sewers."

……

"Damn! How am I supposed to get in?"

Marude Sai had just led his team from Tokyo when they were stopped outside by Yoshimura Eto.

Looking at those enormous kagune that shot straight into the clouds, even this battle-hardened veteran couldn't help but swallow hard.

Not to mention the group of ordinary investigators behind them.

The timid ones even laid down their weapons.

"Chief Marude, what should we do?" The deputy stepped forward, his voice tense. "Should we bring in a few more teams of investigators?"

"What a load of crap." Marude spat. "By the time reinforcements arrive, half of Osaka will be gone."

He took a deep breath and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Listen up, everyone! Stay put and wait. No one is to make any move without my order."

After saying that, he tossed the walkie-talkie back to his deputy. "Has the intelligence been transmitted?"

The deputy nodded hurriedly and handed over the tablet.

"Those things... look like slugs, about the size of an adult, with a human head as their shell, and there are so many of them, they're everywhere."

"..."

He was silent for a few seconds, his temples throbbing.

A human-sized slug?
