Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

Priscilla sat leisurely to one side, playing with her fan, watching Hachiman Hikigaya with amusement, wondering what kind of speech this idiot could come up with.

"Buzz—"

"The broadcast came on again, driving the tens of thousands of people who were already on the verge of their breaking point even more into a frenzy, and the various shelters were about to turn into a living hell where people were pushing and shoving each other."

"The next second, a strange man's voice, unlike Capella's, made all the people who were arguing stop involuntarily in confusion and listen blankly."

"—My name is Hachiman Hikigaya."

"The abrupt self-introduction not only stunned tens of thousands of people, but also left Crusch and the others in the broadcasting room speechless and deeply shocked."

"At this moment, Hachiman Hikigaya's voice was deliberately made to be very rough, and his tone was extremely arrogant and domineering, giving people a feeling of arrogance to the point of being haughty, just like a male version of Priscilla."

"Hachiman Hikigaya, the chief knight of Emilia, a candidate for the Kingdom."

"I slayed the legendary white whale that had ravaged the world for four hundred years, captured the Sloth Archbishop of the Witch Cult, and banished the Doraith, one of the three great demonic beasts. I am the new hero of this world, the new war god of the Kingdom of Lugnica. That is me, Hachiman Hikigaya."

""Bang!""

"Hastenly and enthusiastically proclaiming his achievements, Hachiman Hikigaya crossed his legs and slammed them onto the table. The noise from this action was broadcast to tens of thousands of people."

"Although these tens of thousands of people had never seen Hachiman Hikigaya before, the sound of this reckless act made them feel that he was not a knight, but rather an arrogant and conceited general in an instant."

"Watergate City to be sunk? Tens of thousands of cowards to be killed? Ha—" The arrogant general sneered contemptuously, "Whatever happens, happens. The lives of cowards are none of my concern. Those who are terrified by a mere witch cult are truly despicable."

"The people in the shelter were furious, spitting and cursing at the ruthless general, their voices deafening."

""but!""

"The overwhelming momentum was completely suppressed in the next moment. The entire Water Gate City was silent. Everyone could hear clearly that the ruthless general's voice, which had suddenly increased in volume, gradually became cold and murderous."

"I've come, I'm here. All the bastards, all the rats in the gutter, should slink away in shame. Those worthless cowards who can't even do that, those so-called great bishops who lack even this basic self-awareness."

"Offending my dignity, testing my patience, and spoiling my mood."

"Syluius the Archbishop of Wrath, Badencaitus the Archbishop of Gluttony, Regulus the Archbishop of Greed, and you—Capella, you vain fool hiding in the shadows."

"In the lobby of the city hall, I will throw your heads here as the lowest form of decoration, until they rot."

"He named four high-ranking bishops in one go. This general, who was determined to kill, spoke coldly and mercilessly, full of self-confidence that could be described as arrogance."

"...But hearing this confident declaration of war, the tens of thousands of people in the shelter suddenly felt a strange sense of security."

"Such arrogance, such self-centeredness, and having already defeated two of the three great demonic beasts and captured a great archbishop, could this general, with such a record, such an experience, and such a temperament, really be an ignorant megalomaniac?"

"It already exists."

"He's confident he can defeat the Witch Cult and kill the Archbishop of Sin... How could such an arrogant general be so boastful in front of the entire city if he didn't have absolute confidence!"

"If they lose, General Hachiman Hikigaya will lose his lifelong reputation and honor. For a general with that kind of temper, that would be far worse than killing him."

"So, so..."

"It's not for some Watergate City, not for you cowards who easily fall into madness. The offended dignity I want to reclaim with my own hands, that's all."

"—You cowards who are easily frightened, ha. I even despise that I casually saved such hopeless cowards. Because of a mere witch cult, you lost your composure to the point of attacking and arguing with cowards as helpless as yourselves, using this as a pretense of your own cowardice."

"Saving cowards like you who only know how to fight amongst yourselves is an eyesore! Be grateful, be thankful that among you there are still rational and courageous warriors who can fight against external forces, maintain order, and have morals."

"If not, I would have waited until you were all dead before dealing with you, you wretched rats in the gutter—rejoice, you cowards!"

"Arriving capriciously, leaving arrogantly."

"The people are filled with rage, the people are filled with resentment, the people are filled with shame."

"Everyone, everyone... roared, shouting at the powerful, arrogant, and disdainful general, Hikigaya Hachiman, to express their anger and discontent."

"—And so, filled with shame, tens of thousands of people, in all the shelters, never again saw any fighting or brawling."

"A powder keg that could explode at the slightest touch, after being ignited at an accelerated pace."

"Everyone wants to become a warrior who earns the respect and admiration of that general, that Hachiman Hikigaya!"

330. Anastasia's Grievance, the Final Battle Begins

"As expected of the Prime Minister's speech."

At the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, Anastasia looked sullen, feeling aggrieved for her prime minister.

"He creates the image of a domineering and powerful general, drawing all the anger of the people from their disputes onto him. The prime minister really likes to use this tactic... He always likes to sacrifice himself to protect others."

Although Liliana's singing voice can usually guide people's emotions, now that she is fighting against Syluès's power, the unique charm of her voice may be greatly diminished after the influence of Syluès's power is eliminated.

In that case, people who are already in a powder keg of conflict could still break out into brawls.

Hachiman Hikigaya wanted to achieve perfection, so he used himself as a bait, using provocation to lure the three archbishops of sin to the city hall, while also minimizing the possibility of hatred among the people.

Because the people now have a common enemy, they will direct their hatred, anger, and resentment toward Hachiman Hikigaya.

Anastasia knew everything about her prime minister's schemes. Even so, she was still displeased.

"Compared to the hundreds or thousands of potential fights that could result in death, I value the Prime Minister more. After all, I'm just a cold-blooded, unscrupulous businessman."

The reputation of one's own prime minister is, of course, far more important than that of a group of strangers.

…Hearing Anastasia's outrageous remarks, and worried that she might develop a rift with the people of Watergate City, Yurius carefully said, "Anastasia, although the future may be like this, the whole world has now witnessed the future that has been broadcast, so I'm sure no one will misunderstand Hachiman's morality and integrity anymore."

“The people of Watergate City, in particular, are probably very grateful now.”

His advice made the aggrieved Anastasia nod slightly, and her expression softened a little.

"Wonderful."

In Class D of Advanced Nurturing High School, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji applauded enthusiastically, believing that Hachiman Hikigaya's speech was extremely persuasive.

For the people living in the city of Minato, the more powerful and domineering Hachiman Hikigaya is, the more at ease they feel; this is a psychological phenomenon.

If Hachiman Hikigaya were to speak kindly on the radio, saying, "Please trust us, please don't be afraid," that would be a disaster. Not only would it fail to appease the public, but it might even incite a mutiny.

That's just how people are. Sometimes, being arrogant and looking down on someone makes them admire you more than speaking to them gently and kindly.

“However…” Ayanokouji Kiyotaka clapped his hands while frowning. He was reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit that Priscilla’s contribution was indeed indispensable to the success of this incitement speech that attracted hatred.

If it weren't for the fact that in the "what if" scenario, Hachiman Hikigaya spent so much time with Priscilla that he learned the essence of her arrogance so perfectly, then given his gentle nature, he might not have been able to portray an arrogant and domineering general so convincingly.

"Hmph, a slut in heat is nothing but a clown in the end."

In the mansion, Priscilla was in a great mood, more cheerful than ever before, a smile playing on her lips. "In the end, the foolish idiot still has to obediently accept my teachings, imprint my manners on him, and wholeheartedly enjoy everything I give him."

Could a horny vixen really do something like that? Humph!

Compared to the proud Priscilla, Emilia in the royal capital and Rem outside the royal capital puffed up their cute cheeks in a huff, feeling both elated that their beloved's plan had succeeded and very unhappy.

"It's always like this, Hachiman. He ignores his own importance. It's too much!"

They didn't know what others thought, but Emilia and Rem knew that they were heartbroken.

"This is very bad. He doesn't cherish his bad child. When Hachiman comes, I will definitely change his bad habits."

Emilia looked up at the sky, her heart aching as she gazed at her knight. "If necessary, I'll just have to sacrifice myself."

Anyway, we shouldn't let Hachiman bear any responsibility or get hurt; that would be really annoying!

"Oh, oh." In the Classics Club, having already understood the necessity of Hachiman Hikigaya playing the villain, Eru Chitanda, with her large, curious purple eyes, leaned closer to her crush and asked, "But if this happens, won't Hachiman's reputation plummet and affect Emilia's chances of winning the candidate position?"

"It will have an impact, but it won't be too significant, because Hachiman will definitely have a follow-up plan to turn around its reputation."

Houtarou Oreki suppressed his affection for Eru Chitanda and carefully analyzed the situation before answering: "Moreover, the key point is that the Dragon Blood issue has been resolved, and Hachiman no longer considers Emilia's victory to be the most important thing."

"At least, he believes these are more important than the lives of hundreds or thousands of innocent people than the Wang election victory."

"Wouldn't that mean—"

Before Chitanda Eru could finish speaking, Oreki Houtarou shook his head in anticipation, "Winning the royal election isn't the most important thing, but Emilia is still the most important thing. His love and care for Emilia won't diminish."

Upon hearing this, the curious girl breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She was very supportive of Emilia, and of course Rem as well, and would occasionally pray for her.

"If possible, please marry these two girls, Hachiman!"

"Turn off the radio first, clear your throat, and Hachiman Hikigaya tells Liliana that she can start singing, but Liliana doesn't respond."

He turned to look at Liliana and found that not only Liliana, but everyone except Priscilla was staring at him in disbelief, their faces blank, as if they had seen something incredibly unbelievable.

The innocent Emilia tilted her head, reached out and covered her knight's forehead, muttering, "He's not sick... Does wearing Miss Anastasia's kimono change one's personality?"

"I don't know why—but you were so cool just now, General!"

"Compared to the excited Garfield, Wilhelm and Ricardo bowed slightly, deeply understanding the sacrifices made by Lord Hachiman. Crusch hesitated for a moment, saying nothing; she didn't have the courage to approach Lord Hachiman for the time being."

"Hmph, interesting." Priscilla, her eyes gleaming as if gazing upon a magnificent, rare treasure, looked Hachiman Hikigaya from head to toe with disdain. This time, her gaze held even greater admiration. "Stealing from me is a capital offense, but—a treasure enjoys privileges. Rejoice, you commendable fool! I have no intention of punishing you. Next time, you'll likely be ten times better."

"Hachiman Hikigaya stroked Emilia's smooth silver hair and chuckled softly. He offered no explanation to the innocent Emilia and Garfield."

"The group, with varying feelings, left the broadcasting room and dispersed to guard the entrance of the city hall, preparing to confront the Archbishop of Sin."

"Then."

"Hello everyone, I am Liliana, the songstress of Watergate City!"

"Starting with Liliana's song, the third war between the candidate faction and the Witch Cult in the Watergate City has begun."

331. The Strongest Priscilla

With her voice unleashed, this time, Liliana's protective effect was not blocked by the video and was truly transmitted to the ears of everyone in both worlds.

Therefore, they all enjoyed an unparalleled and beautiful melody, and understood why Liliana was called the only songstress, and why she was able to stand against Syluris's power.

Liliana's singing, performed freely, radiates a wealth of vibrant emotions, including courage, hope, and progress, captivating the audience and inspiring them to varying degrees.

Only a handful of people remained unaffected: besides the witch's soul in the tomb, there was Reinhard, who was focused on killing his enemies, and the other archbishops of sin, who were lost in their own emotions.

"Wow—"

Capella, now a black dragon, flapped her wings, creating a fierce wind that drowned out the singing. She sneered and muttered to herself, having been indulging in the pleasure of cursing Hachiman Hikigaya and Crusch ever since.

"A mother's flesh in heat, a mother's flesh horny, a mother's flesh that longs for but cannot have, hehe~ He clearly craved this mother's flesh's lewd body, wanting to strip naked with her and do all sorts of erotic things, yet he had to pretend to be virtuous and suppress his desires. He was so hypocritical, a bastard male flesh who craved mother's flesh!"

Capella laughed heartily, already having already planned in her mind that after dealing with Minato City, she would find an opportunity to sneak in and kidnap Crusch and Hachiman Hikigaya, the two pieces of "female and male meat".

How dare they use such an ultimate insult against her? She'll make that piece of flesh regret being born into this world.

We're almost there, Watergate City!

"We're almost there, City Hall!"
