Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"He spoke so quickly that he dropped the lie in a matter of seconds."

"The indignant Ram was stunned. She hesitated whether to throw her wind blade. The next second, accompanied by a "whoosh".

"Kursh made a sudden move. She took two quick steps forward, swung her blade, and slashed Ram's chest, leaving a deep cut."

"Sigh, what can I do?" Anastasia, standing to one side behind Ram, sighed helplessly, then suddenly drew the dagger she carried for self-defense and plunged it into Ram's waist as he tried to retaliate against Crusch.

"Attacked from both sides, Ram opened his mouth wide in resentment, his face filled with venomous hatred. He could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the sand with a thud, blood flowing freely."

"Hachiman Hikigaya stared wide-eyed at Crusch and Anastasia, who were splattered with blood."

"Look, I'll protect you. I'll never let the tragedy of Baden-Kathos repeat itself. I won't let you get hurt in front of me again. Hehe, didn't I do a good job? I'm a very qualified hero, aren't I?"

"Kursh's handsome face was unevenly stained with Ram's blood. She turned around, as if seeking praise, like a loyal dog waiting for commendation, and stared longingly at the beloved she had been dreaming of."

"Those who insult Hachiman-kun, bully Hachiman-kun, make Hachiman-kun unhappy, or disrespect Hachiman-kun—I will not forgive any of them! ...Hehe, hehehe, Hachiman-kun, my Hachiman-kun."

“You…you…” Hachiman Hikigaya felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at the two people with sorrow and heartache, shaking his head involuntarily, “Why…”

"Hmm? So it was Miss Ram who first tried to attack the Prime Minister and Miss Crusch? I was just helping to resolve some of the instability, isn't there a problem?"

Anastasia didn't have the yandere demeanor of Crusch. Instead, she tilted her head cutely, as if discussing whether or not to eat, and asked in confusion, "I meant well, isn't Your Majesty happy?"

"But there are clearly better solutions!"

"Hachiman bit his tongue, using the pain to help suppress all the violent tendencies such as irritability, impatience, and anger that were rising within him. He quickly stepped forward, wanting to see if there was any hope for Lum and if he could be given any first aid."

Crusch's expression changed drastically. She immediately turned around, raising her sword high, ready to deliver a final blow to Ram before Hachiman could provide any medical assistance. "Even if it's Hachiman's wish, I will never allow that bastard who slandered Hachiman to live in this world!"

"—Go to hell!"

"This time, Ram acted faster than her. With resentment hanging over her life and her eyes filled with venom, Ram gathered her last bit of mana, and a sharp wind blade sliced ​​through the air. Crusch had no time to dodge."

"Pfft!"

"Using all his weight, he slammed Crusch aside, saving her life. Hachiman Hikigaya was cut in half at the waist by the wind blade, his bright red intestines spilling out onto the ground. His upper and lower body were separated and flung high into the air."

"Lord Hachiman!?"

"The shock and anger turned into panic in an instant. Crusch reached out, but all she could grasp was the blood spurting everywhere."

"The earth dragon, its eyes as red as Ram's, was stimulated by the blood, and its carnivorous instincts took over its body. It roared and charged, grabbing its former master's corpse and chewing it up."

"What are you doing? Stop! Stop right now! Die! Die, die, die, die, die, die! My prime minister, prime minister, prime minister, can't die!!"

"Her dagger was pulled from Ram's waist, and her shout contained an unknown complex emotion. Anastasia charged at the earth dragon, her expression twisted, just as venomous as Ram's earlier."

"—Why did it turn out like this?"

"In his dying consciousness, enduring the pain of being cut in half at the waist, Hachiman Hikigaya did not wail; his eyes were glazed over, filled with confusion."

"Whose fault is this? It's not Ram, not Crusch, not Anastasia, and not the earth dragon."

"But... it wasn't me either."

"Filled with resentment and deep regret, Hachiman Hikigaya, after suffering amnesia, dies for the first time!"

363. The fortunate outsider

"—"

At this moment, all was silent.

Rem stared blankly at the future, then looked down at her sister, then looked up at Hachiman's body cut in half at the waist, and then turned to look at her equally bewildered sister.

"elder sister……"

She was almost in tears.

Before that, things were fine. Even though there was a conflict between the future older sister and Hachiman, it was very minor.

"Rem's... Rem's sister killed Hachiman!"

Rem trembled, and the moment she realized what had happened, she felt the world go dark. Although she had killed Hachiman once before, she could still handle it because it was her. Even if Hachiman demanded that she commit suicide to pay for her life when he arrived, Rem would do it.

But my sister can't do it!

Hachiman, Rem, and her sister are both the most important people in the world. Hachiman can't be hurt, and neither can her sister. But now, now…

"You insulted Hachiman so much when he had amnesia, and even caused his death... You really went too far, you really went too far, sister!"

Ram immediately hugged her sister, who was crying anxiously. Ram's face was also very pale. She really didn't expect that her future self would do something so outrageous.

However, Ram can understand.

Just like how Puck would destroy the world without Emilia, she lived for Rem. When she discovered that the only person in the world who still remembered Rem had also forgotten her, her anger must have been immense.

Although Hachiman Hikigaya was completely innocent, since she couldn't find Badenkathos, she naturally vented most of her anger on him.

"It wasn't me—look, Rem, it's all Crusch's fault. If she hadn't suddenly intervened, after I said that, Hachiman definitely wouldn't have argued back, and the conflict would have stopped."

"This outcome is partly due to Crusch's interference and partly due to the miasma underground, Rem. Don't be afraid, it has nothing to do with me!"

She nervously fabricated lies. While the two reasons certainly played a significant role in how things turned out this way, the root cause was that Ram had long harbored resentment towards Hachiman Hikigaya.

But this lie can fool people, and Rem, Rem's sister who wholeheartedly believes in her, will believe it.

"Ugh..." Rem bit her lower lip, her tone softening considerably. "But... even so, you can't..."

"I'll apologize to him. I'll apologize to Hachiman after we meet. Please forgive me, Rem?"

Under her sister's relentless onslaught, Rem fell silent, finally giving up her resistance. She couldn't bring herself to say anything more hurtful to her sister.

"I, Rem, will take the blame for my sister's sins. Once Hachiman arrives, whatever his request may be, I, Rem, will fulfill it twice as hard!" Rem murmured firmly, her voice filled with remorse.

At the same time, in the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, Anastasia looked away, not wanting to see her prime minister's tragic death.

What she wanted to see, obtain, and possess was a peaceful and safe prime minister.

"Died again... and this time in front of us..."

Anastasia's eyes were sharp. "Miasma is like the power of Syrus, amplifying and drawing out the emotions in people's hearts, rather than creating them out of thin air. Miss Ram really has a lot of pent-up resentment towards the Lon family's prime minister."

If she could, she would love to send Ricardo to assassinate Ram right now.

Unfortunately, Anastasia knew that the Prime Minister would absolutely not like her doing this.

If it were someone like Echidna or the Archbishop of Sin, that would be one thing, but for someone like Ram, who is gentle by nature and only made a mistake temporarily, even if their own prime minister is the victim, he certainly wouldn't want to kill Ram.

The Karlsten mansion and Crusch and Emilia on the main street of the capital thought the same as Anastasia and her family.

The difference is that these two never intended to assassinate Ram; they just thought they should teach her a lesson.

Knowing that Ram is a formidable rival like himself, and that he would stop at nothing to protect his sister, Puck has been stirring up trouble, trying to persuade Emilia to take action against Ram, but with little success.

Inside the Karlsten mansion, Crusch looked utterly dejected.

"I'd rather be killed like this than have Lord Hachiman die again to protect me! Besides, that kind of look... isn't it just like Emilia's mental breakdown in the Sanctuary? So creepy, how could Lord Hachiman possibly like that?"

Let alone Hachiman-sama, even she herself felt that her dark and yandere self was too terrifying, only scary and not at all likable.

"And after this performance, even if Lord Hachiman is slow-witted, he should be certain that I truly love him and have ulterior motives towards him. It's all a bad thing!"

Crusch slumped into a chair, looking utterly defeated, and chuckled coldly, knowing that her fate was sealed.

Phyllis and Wilhelm exchanged glances and reached a consensus: it's hopeless, there's no saving them. The future Crusch-sama is bound to lose, so they should prepare to steal the current Hachiman instead.

"Given Crusch-sama's performance, Phyllis can't even offer any comfort, meow. She did such a terrible job, meow~"

"Ugh..."

Inside the Sword Saint's mansion, Felt swallowed hard, shrinking back towards Reinhard, who had already returned. "Luckily, I'm not interested in this guy, otherwise, it would be terrifying."

They're going to risk their lives to fight each other for a man!

Although it wasn't that she was completely uninterested, after witnessing Crusch and the other two killing each other over Hachiman Hikigaya, Felt no longer dared to be interested.

Ferut wasn't the only one who was terrified.

On this side of the other world, Garfield, Julius, and Otto all shuddered, but unlike the timid Felt, after their initial shock, they still wholeheartedly supported their respective parties.

Garfield hopes that the general will marry both Emilia and Rem. Otto doesn't dislike Rem, but he hopes that Hachiman will only marry Emilia. Julius, who was once a traitor, now wholeheartedly supports Anastasia's faction.

As for Reinhard, his idea was simple: Hachiman could marry as many women as he wanted, provided it was voluntary. His responsibility was to protect his close friend Hachiman from being harmed by those who tried to steal his man.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, in a convenience store, Yukinoshita's face was pale.

In terms of combat power, she is not even as good as Anastasia! Although Anastasia is sickly, she has been an orphan since childhood and has been struggling on her own. Her physical condition is definitely better than Yukinoshita's.

"I don't lack anything emotionally, but from beginning to end, I've always lacked a strong sense of power."

If she had Crusch's strength, she wouldn't be afraid of those vixens, mistresses, and concubines, and could travel to another world with Hachiman.

Not reconciled.

Yukinoshita was so unwilling to accept this that she almost ground her teeth to powder!

364. A powerful reproduction

"If you practice your swordsmanship diligently, in a few years you might not be weaker than me in Crusch's timeline, Yukinoshita."

After finishing his sentence, Hachiman Hikigaya added, "The premise is that you have to break the bad habit of not exercising, and you need to build up your physical strength first."

He wasn't just trying to comfort her; he genuinely believed that a beautiful, all-around talented girl like Yukinoshita had previously practiced Aikido and learned it with ease. Moreover, he himself had mastered swordsmanship to the point of being able to spar with Wilhelm, so Yukinoshita could certainly be even more skilled.

"Ok!"

Yukinoshita nodded emphatically.

Seeing Yukinoshita regain her confidence and fighting spirit, Hachiman Hikigaya smiled, but then his smile froze.

He thought for a moment, and after watching the future episode, he would leave the convenience store and travel through time to save Emilia.

If Yukino, who has trained to a very high level, were to one day be transported to another world, by then, a long time would have passed, and she might just be drawn to Rem, Emilia, Anastasia, or Crusch, just like in the future.

At that time, Yukinoshita will draw her sword.

"..."

Hachiman Hikigaya shuddered and shook his head in fright.

No, I must practice swordsmanship. Once I get there, I must practice swordsmanship as fiercely as Crusch! At least I can't be like in the sand cave, where I could only watch helplessly as several real beings killed each other.

The incident of a man being stolen and murdered left the entire Nakano family speechless. The four Nakano sisters looked at each other, murmured amongst themselves, and temporarily ceased their conflict.
