Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Reyd is very powerful, but Satella's shadow seems to be impossible to sweep away. The two fought with all their might, and neither of them was seriously injured.

"The entire second floor, however, was completely destroyed within seconds of Rayd and Satella's fierce battle, leaving no place to stand."

"The Sage's Tower collapsed with a crash, losing its intact form. With no more rules to bind Reid, Reid laughed heartily, relying on his absurd physical abilities to create a unique form of flight by stepping on the air, and fought even more joyfully."

"Having completely avoided the battle between the monsters and the Bishop of Gluttony, Ram is in perfect physical condition and mana. She uses her exquisite micro-management to generate wind, which allows her to fly."

"Rem grabbed Ram's ankle with one hand, Anastasia grabbed Rem, and the rest of the people who couldn't fly were linked together, one after another, hanging in a long string, with Julius at the very bottom."

"As a knight, it was only natural for him to stay at the bottom so that he could draw his sword at any time to attack the approaching shadows, and also be the first to be eaten, buying time for the others."

"Lamu gritted her teeth. There were too many people, and it was really a heavy burden, but she mustered up the willpower of an older sister and managed to fly everyone to the desert land that had not yet been covered by the shadows."

"Am I seeing things?"

Inside the Sanctuary, Garfield rubbed his eyes in surprise.

What surprised him was not Satella's attack, since that had already happened once before. What truly astonished him was that Ram had played such a significant role.

I really like Ram, but I can't deny the fact that so far Ram has hardly been of any use, and sometimes it even has the opposite effect.

"Wow, this is really rare!" Mimi's exclamation at the Hexin Merchant Guild was met with unanimous agreement from Anastasia and the others.

Although it's said that Emilia was just an accessory until she underwent the three trials and transformed, she actually did have some usefulness from time to time.

What about Ram?

The monster invasion relied on Emilia's powerful strength. With Ram's limited stamina and mana, it wouldn't have made any difference whether she was there or not.

When she burned the book in the Sanctuary, it was purely for her own sake. Moreover, the Book of Wisdom only caused Roswaal to make it snow, and did not prevent him from stopping Hachiman Hikigaya from killing Toto afterward. Therefore, even if Ram did not take action, the difference would only be that Hachiman Hikigaya would personally deal with him after killing Toto.

Finding the area to the Sage's Tower was indeed due to her clairvoyance, but without her, Hachiman Hikigaya and his group could simply return home and find Reinhard to use his clairvoyance, thus defeating Reid in one fell swoop.

In short, none of Ram's previous contributions can be considered significant, and none of them are unique.

This time was different, though. She was the only one present who could fly, and her ability to connect the two flying devices prevented a fatal fall. She was unique at the time in that "this danger had to be overcome by her, and we couldn't do without her."

This did indeed refresh many people's perception of Ram, increasing his positive reviews somewhat.

This also dispelled the idea that "if Ram appeared on Earth, we would definitely hire a group of people to bring tranquilizer darts to put her in sacks and beat her up."

Chapter 412.re0, a glorious conclusion.

"Heh, if Ram is willing, becoming an irreplaceable and strongest helper is certainly within reach."

She wasn't particularly keen on helping, but Ram knew all too well how much Rem cared, so she was quite proud, arms crossed, enjoying the cheers and praise from her sister.

"My sister is the best!"

Ram nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, praise me a little more. Such flattery from Rem is simply heavenly!"

"Hmph, once you live long enough, you really can see everything."

Inside the mansion, Priscilla snorted disdainfully. Her opinion of Ram was already set and wouldn't easily change; she looked down on this useless, sister-obsessed girl.

“Even someone like Crusch can occasionally have a taste of sweetness, so it’s not surprising that things are like this now. The world revolves around me, and in order for me to gracefully and perfectly land, it’s natural to arrange a tool to carry it out—ultimately, this is my achievement!”

Priscilla raised her head, having made such a domineering statement.

Of course, she treated Ram, whom she didn't like, this way, let alone Satella. In her eyes, Satella, who had bothered her, was doomed to die.

Al also agreed that Satella was doomed... but that was probably because of Reid, not because of Priscilla.

"The Sage's Tower, which had stood for four hundred years, collapsed overnight."

"Shaula stared blankly at the pile of ruins, lost in thought. She sighed softly and quickly turned her gaze to Hachiman Hikigaya. At the same time, that trace of loneliness vanished."

"The battle between Reyd and Satella continues, and it won't stop until one of them dies." Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly looked up, squinting as he gazed at the sky; he sensed something.

"His feeling is correct."

"As the Sage's Tower collapsed, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared at the top of the tower, which reached into the clouds. The clouds there were being powerfully dispersed by a pair of wings, revealing the true appearance of the creature that inhabited the top of the tower."

"It was a dragon that was tens of meters tall and wide. It looked very much like a Western dragon from mythology. It was a powerful and majestic dragon that could make people tremble just by looking at it from afar."

"The legendary dragon, Polkenica!"

"The dragon did not announce its name, but merely by witnessing its power and appearance, Crusch knew without a doubt that this was the dragon that had protected the Kingdom of Lugnica for four hundred years."

"After all, she was going to break the contract between the kingdom and this dragon, so she naturally did a lot of research... Of all those present, apart from Shaula, absolutely no one understands Polnikenka better than her."

"Wow... that big guy is sleeping on top of the tower?!"

"Xia Wula was dumbfounded. What was this? She had lived alone for four hundred years, and now, reality had slapped her in the face, telling her that if she, this fool, had known to use her power to start the trial, she would have had two old acquaintances to chat with long ago."

Am I an idiot!?

Xia Wula was also dumbfounded. She could have endured the loneliness, unless she didn't know that she had missed four hundred years of freedom from loneliness.

I'm so incredibly regretful!

For most people in this world, it was like worshipping a god... no, it should be said that the powerful, long-lived, legendary, and incredibly mysterious guardian god of the kingdom, Polkenica, was indeed a god.

Regardless of its actual status or legendary status, in the Kingdom of Lugnica, this divine dragon is a god that everyone has heard about since childhood.

Compared to Reyd, who is human-sized and has a personality so down-to-earth that it doesn't inspire any sense of reverence, Polkenica, another of the three heroes, already has many people worshipping him as soon as he appears.

This is the country's almost pathological worship of dragons.

Even if Reinhard is stronger than the dragon, and even if Hachiman Hikigaya is a new legend, they can never reach this level. The Lugnica Kingdom's level of worship for the dragon is unmatched by anyone.

"How could this be... If this continues, won't it become terminal?"

On the main street of the capital, Emilia glanced around and saw so many people who were in a commotion and even kneeling in worship because of the appearance of the dragon. Even if she was naive and innocent, she could keenly sense that this was wrong and unacceptable.

If a country continues like this, it will definitely become deformed.

"No wonder Miss Crusch has such a goal... However, the pressure to carry it out is unimaginable; it would mean facing opposition from an entire country."

“Yes.” Parker nodded, unusually speaking objectively, “That’s why, before you and Anastasia demonstrated your ability and charm to contend for the throne, the entire capital was almost unanimously praising Crusch.”

“Unlike the four of you, Crusch’s ambition and spirit are immediately apparent and impressive. She is indeed a remarkable person.”

"Regarding the issue of becoming queen, even now, my view remains the same as when this future light screen first appeared: Crusch is undoubtedly the most suitable of the five candidates to become queen."

“However, it doesn’t matter if you’re not suitable.” Parker turned his head and said with a smile, “As long as Hachiman Hikigaya is there, as long as he is willing to assist you, then no one is more capable of being an excellent emperor than you.”

My own daughter is not suitable to be an emperor, but Hachiman Hikigaya is!

All the work was pushed onto Hachiman Hikigaya, while his own daughter was given the title of emperor, making a name for herself in history. Hmm, that was perfect... Parker thought to himself, more ruthless and exploitative than any capitalist.

"The first sword saint Reid, the divine dragon Polkenica, the sage's disciple Shaula, and the jealous witch Satella."

"This scene is like a reenactment of the legend from four hundred years ago."

"Although Crusch wants to break the contract between the Kingdom of Lugunica and the dragon, it doesn't mean she hates the dragon... even though she really dislikes it. She knows very well that, under these circumstances, the unexpected appearance of Polkenica is the best thing that could happen."

"Polkenica flew around in the sky for a while with a blank stare, and only after he caught a glimpse of Satella's dark figure did he seem to slowly come back to his senses and swoop down like a hawk hunting its prey."

"Reyd and Polkenica fought independently, without joining forces, yet they still managed to force Satella into a series of defeats."

"Satella's true form was sealed away, and only a small portion of her power could be leaked out. After holding out for some time, this small portion of power was finally completely destroyed amidst the faint, unwilling murmurs of 'I love you.'"

"All threats to the Tower of Sages have now been completely eliminated!"

413. World Integration

"Looking at the nearly destroyed Satella, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded slightly. There was no joy on his face, but rather a weary sigh."

"He was actually quite grateful to Satella, even though she dumped him on her without asking his opinion, which led to his permanent separation from Komachi Amanto... But frankly, now that things have come to this, the regret and dissatisfaction in Hikigaya Hachiman's heart have been overshadowed."

"His arrival did indeed have some effect, saving some people who were destined to die. That was enough for him. If he were given another chance to start over, he would still travel through time without hesitation."

"But I definitely need to say goodbye to Komachi and the others before I leave."

"Thank you, Satella... but please rest in peace. I, who loved so many people and was loved by so many, have no desire to be buried with you."

"Whispering, in that instant, Hachiman Hikigaya understood why Yukinoshita had given him the cold shoulder because of his confession to Ebina."

"Yes, it's important to take good care of yourself and be mindful of your own well-being... I'm not just myself anymore, and I absolutely cannot sacrifice myself because of other people's demands or requests, or because of my own gentleness or selfishness."

"In that case, those who possess the real thing within themselves will not be happy."

"Thank you too, Yukinoshita."

"With the insights Yukinoshita taught him, he will continue in this other world... no, he will continue in this world, with Emilia and the others, with everyone."

"Hey~ what are you whispering about, Master?" A sudden cheer interrupted his muttering. As excited as a husky, Xia Wula nimbly climbed onto his back, pointing one finger to the sky and wrapping her other arm around his neck.

"The tower is gone, Master is back, Big Guy is still alive, and Xia Wula is free! I'm free—Master, Master, Master! I can follow you now! I can go with you to the ends of the earth! You can never leave me again, Master, I never want to leave you again!"

"With the crisis gone, the relaxed Xiaula started celebrating faster than anyone else."

"What the hell?!" Beatrice's fingers clenched white, she trembled with anger as she looked at this unbridled, infatuated bastard. She rushed over and grabbed Xia Wula, trying to pull her off her contractor's back.

"My previous sympathy for Shaula was partly due to my own empathy, but mainly because Hachiman had no intention of accepting Shaula at all, so I just let her be."

"But absolutely not now!"

"This slut and her clingy nature overlap with Betty's. Both are compensation for four hundred years, both like to cause trouble and monopolize Hachiman. And most importantly, Hachiman treats both Betty and Shaula like younger sisters. How can two younger sisters compare to the favor he receives from one?"

"I don't want things like Shaula stealing Betty's time from Hachiman and all that!"

"Get Betty down! Hurry up!"

"No! I finally had a perfect happy ending with Master, I don't want anyone to ruin it, Master, Master, waaaah, my Master!"

"Rem looked completely bewildered. Her time delay was too great, and she couldn't understand what was going on at all... In short, based on the successful cases in the royal capital, just go for it."

Without a word, Rem threw herself into his arms, avoiding the backs of Shaula and Beatrice arguing, and embraced her sweetheart from the front, continuing their long-awaited reunion that had been interrupted earlier.

Beatrice's face grew increasingly ashen, while Xia Wula rubbed against her master nonchalantly, all smiles and carefree expressions, completely content.

"Hmm!?"

Emilia was deeply shocked. She stood there, staring blankly at the chaos, wanting to pull the people apart but not knowing how. She pursed her lips, stood there with her head down, looking aggrieved, and did not go up to fight.

"Julius's gaze never left Reid in the distance, while Crusch's eyes were always focused on Polkenica, so neither of them noticed the farce here."

Anastasia stroked her long, pale purple hair, which had once been caressed by Hachiman Hikigaya, and stood alone to one side, a sorrowful expression on her face. With Rem's presence back, she naturally remembered the tender moments between Hachiman Hikigaya and Rem before and after the White Whale Extermination Campaign.

"Of course I understand now... When Hachiman Hikigaya said 'I haven't decided which one to marry yet' in Minato City, he was referring to Emilia and Rem, and had nothing to do with Anastasia."

"She's just being delusional."
