Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

The evening breeze carried the chill of the year's end.

The wind made the lanterns in the courtyard sway gently.

The crooked, hand-drawn tongue, under the orange light, inexplicably exudes a lively and vibrant feel.

The atmosphere of the New Year slowly filled the entire orphanage.

The butterfly raised its hand and lit the last lantern.

Looking at its masterpiece, the tentacle on its right arm waved happily.

Ai Hoshino, holding a microphone, skipped and hopped to the front of the yard.

Her starry eyes sparkled with excitement.

「ようやく会えたね灗いね.」

(Finally, I'm so happy to see you.)

"Wait for a long time and stay safe."

(Having been waiting for this for so long, I couldn't help but jump around with excitement.)

"Today I am going to sleep with you."

(I'm so looking forward to staying up all night!)

The swallowtail butterfly helplessly used its tentacles to pull the overly excited creature aside.

Steam rose from the kitchen, mingling with the aroma of food.

Yoshimura Ai is very good at interpersonal relationships (crossed out) and cooking.

At least the expensive ingredients brought by Tomie won't be wasted.

Suzuya Juuzou squatted beside her, watching her dump everything in.

Is there really no waste?

Under the eaves.

Matsuzaka Satou set up the telescope.

From this vantage point, you can see the fireworks display.

Xiao Zuo popped out at some point and landed on Sugar's shoulder.

"Is this what human holidays are like?"

"That's right," Matsuzaka Satou said calmly.

Kasugano Sora leaned slightly against her shoulder.

I wasn't surprised at all by Xiao Zuo's appearance.

In the center of the courtyard.

Mercury brought Sylvie along as well, along with two useless cats.

"Dad! Where do we put this?"

Sylvie ran over excitedly, clutching a bottle of wine.

"Put it here ♬♬~" Mercury pointed to his mouth.

"Okay, Dad."

Sylvie obediently aimed the bottle at Mercury.

"Gulp gulp~"

"Xiao hope~"

"Okay, Dad."

"Gulp gulp~"

Before long, a circle of empty bottles had been laid out on the ground.

Tomie squinted and glanced at him sideways.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to drink anymore?"

Mercury rolled his eyes at her and opened his mouth.

Click.

Another bottle has been opened.

"I'll smoke cigars from now on, those things get you high."

"You dare! Don't ever kiss your mother again!"

"┑(￣Д ￣)┍ "

"Xiao hope~"

"Dad's here!"

The old dean, who had been lying in a rocking chair, seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before his death, and busied himself with various tasks.

It went on until midnight.

……

"Is it snowing?"

Natsume Takashi rubbed his eyes as he waited for the fireworks. He looked up and saw the snow-white sky quietly descending.

"Oh, it's snowing."

Nyanko-sensei jumped down from the roof and landed steadily on Natsume's head.

"Nyanko-sensei? What are you doing out here?"

"Of course we're going out to a party, you idiot Natsume."

Two short legs slapped Natsume's head, and Nyanko-sensei looked at him with disdain.

Humans have their own festivals, and so do monsters!

"Is that so? That's good." Natsume smiled gently.

"Speaking of which, aren't you going back to that orphanage?" Nyanko-sensei asked, puzzled.

But then he turned to himself and said, "It's better not to go; there aren't many good people there."

As a great demon who has lived for countless years, his judgment of people is far superior to Natsume's.

The only normal person in there is that guy named Hoshino Ai.

Even that seemingly normal white-haired loli is a twisted being.

"I still need to go back after the New Year," Natsume said with an embarrassed smile.

"Tch, this is boring. I'm not talking to you anymore. Sanxiao and the others are waiting."

After saying that, Nyanko-sensei jumped down.

The obese body burst forth with astonishing speed, running towards the deep forest.

Natsume watched him go until two calls came from behind.

Then, with a big smile on his face, he waved and ran back.

……

"Come on, let's not wait for Madara, let's drink first!"

"Okay! It's deep winter, I want something icy."

"Go freeze it yourself, you idiot!"

"She's so irritable, who did she offend now?"

"Could it be because her son didn't spend New Year's Eve with her?"

"Shh! You idiot, keep your voice down!"

As soon as the cat teacher ran into the deep forest, he heard a commotion.

A thin layer of snow covered the forest floor, and a faint mist drifted through the air.

A group of monsters sat around a stone table in the forest.

The wine jars were piled up, steaming hot.

It was a noisy scene.

Sanxiao was the first to raise her glass.

Upon seeing the fat cat running over, Sanxiao raised her glass first.

"Ban, you've finally arrived."

The cat teacher shook off the snow that covered her.

He had an arrogant look on his face.

I strolled over slowly.

"A bunch of impatient people. What's the rush for a mere New Year's Eve dinner?"

He complained verbally.

But their actions were quite honest.

He plopped down on the stone bench in the very middle.

The claws pried open a jar of fine wine.

Sitting to the side in the dead of winter, I felt the chill permeating my body.

"You've been delayed for so long, are you reluctant to part with your Natsume?"

The cat teacher snorted.

"It's best to leave him alone in peace."

The little demons nearby whispered among themselves.

"In human terms, Madara-sama's behavior is tsundere, isn't it?"

"Definitely a tsundere."

"The tsundere Madara-sama!"

"Shut up, you idiots!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter of the monsters echoed through the forest.

Free and unrestrained.

……

"Archer!"

Hachiman Hikigaya sneezed inexplicably as he watched Komachi finish preparing a New Year's Eve dinner.

Komachi Hikigaya brought out the last plate of fried food.

I glanced at the guy rubbing his nose.

"Hey bro, what are you doing? Got a cold?"

"have no idea."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at her, and at Unouchi, who was emerging like venom.

Mercury was clearly very interested in her, but before he knew it, a new year had passed and he hadn't mentioned her again.

It seems they really have forgotten.

"I have a feeling that you're thinking about something bad, brother."

"No, that's a good thing."

"Hachiman Hikigaya said calmly, glancing at Komachi's phone."

The parents' information shows they are working overtime.

That's fine, it'll be good if he spends New Year's Eve with Komachi and Unouchi.

……

the other side of the city.

A quiet, detached villa.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood alone by the French windows, watching the first snowfall outside.

The room was unusually quiet.

There was no aroma of food.

There was no noise from people.

Only the soft ticking of the clock could be heard.

Fireworks were faintly flashing outside the window.

"Will you be able to come back tomorrow?"

She put down her phone and stood quietly for a long time.

……

"Happy New Year, Shuichi and Kirie!"

Inside an underground oil well in Antarctica, laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.

But looking at this scene, Shuichi felt something was off.

"Teacher, how did we end up here...?"

"Shuichi, don't overthink it. Look!"

The bald professor pointed to the seabed outside: "See that? What a magnificent structure! Tell me its name, Shuichi!"

Shuichi looked in the direction he was being pointed to.

Beyond the thick, deep-sea isolation window.

It is an endless, pitch-black ocean.

That's how it should have been...

But at this moment.

Under the sea.

The murky, dark seawater churned slowly.

It revealed its colossal outline, which had slumbered since time immemorial.

A silent, ancient city submerged in the deep sea, a vast city-state built by non-humans.

There are no regular architectural lines, and no structural logic that humans can understand.

Giant stone buildings are stacked haphazardly, and sharp, grotesque towers pierce the ocean currents.

The walls were covered with patterns that did not belong to this world.

Ancient whispers drifted out with the ocean currents.

"Shuichi!!!"

A sudden roar startled Shuichi awake. He shuddered and sat up in bed, his back covered in cold sweat.

"Kiri...Kirie?"

After seeing the figure beside the bed and the surrounding environment, Xiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, they're back, back from the deep-sea oil wells.

It was just a dream.

……

Across the Pacific Ocean.

A country called Amelika.

Qilaima, in her true form, easily blended into the chaotic Christmas celebrations.

They chatted while eating candy.

Do you think he'll really come here?

"Don't worry, it definitely will. We'll kill him then, so you won't have to live in fear every day."

"I hope so," Zilema said pessimistically.

If things don't go well, they'll sell those humans.

Ensure that it and Baphomet can escape smoothly.
