Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

In the old-fashioned log cabin hotel deep in Crystal Lake Camp, warm yellow kerosene lamps hang from the roof beams, and wooden doors block out the cold wind, completely separating the dark lake and the desolate forest outside the window into two worlds.

Only the train remained stationary, seemingly out of place.

"All done!" Mercury clapped his hands, looking at the newly renovated house with satisfaction.

In just ten minutes, the abandoned camp hotel, which was once dilapidated and reeked of murder, was transformed into a brand new place.

The dusty old tables and chairs were wiped clean, and the dead leaves and dust that had accumulated in the corners for years disappeared. They even found drinks, snacks, and... alcohol from somewhere.

"Amo, what is this?"

Yui Yuigahama looked curiously at the little salt people surrounding Mercury.

Just now, these dozens of one-meter-tall little salt figures, with rags, cleaned this place until it looked brand new.

"Envious? Want to have it?" Mercury leaned back on the sofa, a can of beer in his hand.

If you don't consider the location, they look more like they're on vacation.

"Me? Can I really do it?"

Yui Yuigahama's first reaction wasn't joy, but rather self-doubt.

Commonly known as a lack of self-confidence.

"It's not worth much. The Beast Corporation is recruiting volunteers. You can get superpowers by going, but..."

"Just what?" Yui Yuigahama quickly leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Being a "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone who is delusional or immature) is not a privilege reserved for boys; who hasn't fantasized about having superpowers when they were young?

She is no exception.

She had been indulging in fantasies for a period of time after her father's death.

"Cough cough."

Mercury waved his hand in a seemingly serious manner, and the little salt men immediately lined up and jumped out of the window one after another to stand guard.

Seeing his serious expression, Yui Yuigahama also became nervous.

Indeed, superpowers are not so easy to obtain.

Yukino Yukinoshita's ears also perked up.

This was the first time she had heard Mercury talk about the Beasts Group.

Hoshino Ai was alright; she had seen some strange gadgets at the old headmaster's place.

"Some small experiments are needed, the probability of death is slightly high..."

"Aaaaaah!"

Before Mercury could finish speaking, screams came from outside.

A classic scene in American horror films where dialogue is interrupted.

Without any hesitation, Yukino Yukinoshita pressed the briefcase, and her black Quinque armor instantly covered her entire body.

He smashed open the window and rushed out.

The two bewildered people saw Yukino rush out and instinctively wanted to follow, but Mercury grabbed them.

"Let her go."

Yui Yuigahama was pulled so hard she stumbled and her bottom slammed heavily onto the sofa armrest.

Hoshino Ai helped her up and asked worriedly, "Brother, will she be alright?"

"It's not like we can't even handle Jason." Mercury leaned back on the sofa and leisurely took a sip of beer.

Looking at the spot where Yukino Yukinoshita disappeared, her eyes were filled with joy.

Even if you're in completely unfamiliar territory, you should still do what's right.

"You're a real joy to me."

Thinking about it, he looked at Yui Yuigahama, who had a worried expression on her face.

"By the way, how did you end up on this tram?"

……

Under the moonlight, Yukino Yukinoshita's figure swept across the camp like a ghost.

With her quinque armor and flowing black hair, she drifted through the darkness like an alien.

The screams came from the lakeside.

She sped up and rushed through the dense woods, stopping in a clearing by the lake.

A man lay in a pool of blood, his chest slashed open, exposing his internal organs.

She recognized the man; she had seen him alive when she was searching the entire train carriage for Hoshino Ai.

He has now passed away.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, not out of disgust, but because she had specifically trained her mental fortitude and wouldn't feel nauseous at such a scene.

I just felt that something was off about my surroundings.

This is clearly a homicide. Could there be some kind of psychopathic killer around here?

"Whoosh!"

"who!"

Yukino Yukinoshita aimed her sword at the bushes, staring intently at them.

"No...don't do it, it's me."

A girl with red, swollen eyes from crying came out and looked at her with a fearful expression.

"The train couldn't move. It was shaking constantly, like something was pulling it down. A monster with a machete rushed in and killed many people. We had no choice but to run out."

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

She recognized the girl in front of her; she was in the same carriage as her.

After the tram started moving, I told them a lot of useful things. I was a timid but kind person.

"Whoosh!"

Just as she relaxed her guard, a dark shadow darted out of the lake and lunged straight at Yukino Yukinoshita's face.

She reacted extremely quickly, the blades of her Quinque armor instantly unfolding as she slashed backhand.

clang!

The sound of metal clashing was particularly jarring at night.

Her long-term training has now paid off.

The dark figure was thrown back and crashed onto the muddy ground.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood up and saw what was in front of her clearly.

It was a tall, imposing figure.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, and wore a tattered hockey mask on his face.

He stood motionless by the lake, holding a rusty machete in his hand.

The eyes beneath the mask were fixed on Yukino, as if she were looking at a dead corpse.

What is this?

Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her arm blades, not making a rash move.

"That's Jason!" a girl beside her exclaimed, her voice trembling with fear. "We encountered him when the tram stopped earlier!"

"What abilities does he have?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the contradiction in her words, but did not ask, and continued to stare at Jason.

"Immortal!" The girl's voice trembled. "And he's incredibly strong; he can lift a grown man with one hand. Most terrifyingly, he doesn't feel pain."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.

Immortal, possessing immense strength, and numb to pain.

If that's all there is to it...

can win!

……

boom!

The hotel door was smashed open again.

A tall figure wearing an old leather jacket and a hockey mask was thrown in.

His limbs were twisted, and he looked extremely miserable.

This startled the three people who were still chatting, including Mercury.

It almost twisted right in front of the door.

"This... this is murder..."

Before Yui Yuigahama could finish speaking, two more disheveled figures rushed in.

It was Yukino Yukinoshita and that girl.

"President, something big has arrived!"

Upon seeing that Mercury was still there, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been tense, instantly calmed down.

He pulled the girl to his side, glancing warily outside the hotel.

What was strange was that the girl seemed even more terrified.

Especially when their gaze drifts towards the little salt man, they will subconsciously avoid it.

Mercury glanced at Jason, who was writhing on the ground, and then at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was panting heavily at the door.

"Not bad, you managed to survive a horror movie."

Yukino Yukinoshita walked up to him and said seriously again, "I'm not kidding. There's a big guy in the forest, and he's not human."

Upon hearing this, Mercury pulled Hoshino Ai to his side, walked to the window, and looked in the direction she was looking.

Moonlight spilled onto the lake, and water vapor rose from it.

On the edge of the dense forest on the opposite shore of the lake, a massive silhouette is slowly moving.

It is at least four meters tall, with a bulky body, resembling a giant moose, but its head is unusually large, and its mouth has human arms.

His eyes were also located on his mouth, and his head was constantly turning, as if he were sniffing something.

"Brother, what is this?" Hoshino Ai grabbed him tightly.

Yui Yuigahama also approached the window, but only glanced at it before shrinking back, her face pale.

"Interesting, it's a fused forest." Mercury leaned against the window frame, conjuring a salt spear in his hand, and threw it at the forest.

"Snap!"

Outside the window, the enormous figure stopped in its tracks.

The spear of salt pierced its body.

Fine white salt spread from the wound, rapidly expanding throughout the body at a visible speed.

Before the monster could even make a sound, its massive four-meter-tall body shattered into countless pieces, scattering across the grass.

A gust of wind blew by, and the fine salt was swept onto the lake surface.

Jason, who was twisted on the ground, stopped struggling.

The eyes beneath the mask stared blankly out the window at the dissipating salt, motionless.
