Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Old man, you have no idea, that woman, oh my god, damn it."

"Their mental state is 100 years ahead of humanity."

"Asked why I didn't collect protection money from her."

"You didn't see it, but Tomie's face darkened immediately after hearing that."

"If I hadn't pulled her away, she would have chopped that guy to pieces."

"Hahahaha... Old Dean..."

Mercury lowered his voice, squatted down beside him, rested his hands on the rocking chair, and his wisps of hair obscured his eyes.

He stole a glance at the old man lying in the rocking chair, quietly listening to his complaints.

My face has more wrinkles, and I spend less time standing.

Even the rocking chair is rocking slower and slower.

Tomie sat next to the two of them, wearing sunglasses, with the things she had bought beside her.

"Old man, are you sure you're in good health?"

"Don't let him suddenly kick the bucket one day."

She spoke with a mocking tone, but her eyes were fixed on the orphanage staff who were preparing their New Year's Eve outfits.

The old dean opened his eyes

His cloudy eyes moved slightly.

I glanced at them.

He cursed weakly.

"You two little rascals, this old man still has six months to live."

The voice was hoarse.

This feeling of decay is impossible to ignore.

Mercury chuckled softly.

"It would be better if he died sooner rather than later, instead of giving me trouble every day."

That's what they say.

Without realizing it, her hand reached out and covered the old director's legs with a blanket.

The movements were very gentle.

Tomie, standing to the side, also snorted coldly.

Mercury's recent attitude toward the orphanage staff shows that he doesn't want the old man to worry about these trivial matters.

She doesn't want to either.

……

The swallowtail butterfly, which was hanging a lantern, looked at them as if it sensed something.

He was also holding a red lantern in his hand.

There's a crooked tongue drawn on it.

"Sister Butterfly, it's time to make rice cakes."

Ai Hoshino walked over, holding a wooden mallet.

"it is good."

Fengdie gently rubbed her head, suppressing her sadness.

Under the eaves not far away.

Sugar is holding Dome's hand.

Standing in front of a table.

A schedule was laid out on the table.

Sugar, however, seemed distracted, glancing in the direction of the old dean every now and then.

At the bottom of the steps, Suzuya Juuzou was counting ants.

until……

"Come with me to cook."

Yoshimura Eto, who had arrived at some unknown time, grabbed her by the back of her collar and led her to the kitchen.

"Hey hey hey~" Juuzou Suzuya replied playfully.

It's hard to imagine that two people who were enemies in their past lives would end up cooking together.

……

The old dean watched this scene unfold.

Suddenly he laughed.

He laughed so hard his eyes narrowed into slits.

He turned to look at the two people beside him.

"You two."

His voice was soft, tinged with a deep smile.

"You two have always been the two I worried about the most since you were little. The reason I put you two in the same school was to see if you could complement each other."

"In hindsight, that decision was indeed the right one."

"Two twisted bastards finally learned how to love each other."

Mercury and Tomie exchanged a glance, then looked away.

"Who has a twisted personality? My personality is pretty good. If anyone's personality is twisted, it's Tomie's, who's more twisted."

Tomie took off her sunglasses and rolled her eyes.

"Ha, I'm not as good as some bastard. At most... I just treat everyone as playthings."

The old dean laughed even harder.

He laughed so hard he started coughing.

Mercury's brow furrowed instantly.

She raised her hand and gently patted his back.

The force used was ridiculously small.

"I'm not going to bury you if you laugh so hard."

The old dean coughed for a long time.

It took a while for me to recover.

He was panting.

Leaning back in the rocking chair.

His face was pale, but his eyes were very bright.

He looked at Mercury and Tomie.

Slowly extending their hands, withered palms, one on each side.

He took their hands.

"I trust you two, Natsume, Eto, and Sora."

Mercury and Tomie did not reply, waiting for the old man to continue.

"But Sugar, Love, Shizou, and Sora are still young."

"Especially Sugar, that kid is crazier than anyone else at heart. You should know that all too well, after all, you both wanted to kill each other last time, hahahaha."

"But it's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Don't let a thorn take root in your heart. I've seen plenty of misunderstandings and reconciliations between old men."

"There's still love," the old director continued. "That child is too naive; as his older brother, you should protect him more."

Mercury hummed in agreement.

I didn't say much.

No one knows what I'm thinking.

"What else is there to say?" The old dean chuckled. "This little rascal talks and acts like a little madman, but he's very clear-headed."

"And then there's Qiong, who's in poor health and simple-minded."

"I originally planned for you guys to support each other, but you, kid, haha, even I didn't expect you to get this far."

"Aite too, although not as good as you, but... hahaha, good, good."

The old dean spoke at length.

He spoke a little too quickly and started coughing again.

Mercury patted his back gently.

Tomie remained silent.

She simply held his hand tightly.

The fingertips were slightly white.

The old dean noticed.

He turned his head away.

Look at her.

He gently wiped the corner of her eye.

"Xiao Jiang, from now on... never mind."

Tomie turned her head away, her voice muffled.

"Please say something."

The old dean smiled even more kindly.

"I was going to tell you not to be so temperamental in the future, but now that this brat is here to protect you, I feel relieved."

He raised his head.

Looking at the sky full of sunset colors.

Orange-red light.

It filled the entire sky.

"When people get old, they like to think about the past, and as they think about it, they realize how fast time flies."

"In the blink of an eye."

"You've all grown up."

"In the blink of an eye."

"I just realized that you're no longer little kids who need me to clean up their messes."

"That's good, that's good..."

He kept repeating it.

Mercury and Tomie remained silent.

He simply grasped the old dean's hand in return.

Everyone in the courtyard was busy with their own things.

A group of people with different personalities come together because of an old man.

At this moment, we are all gathered here.
