Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Although Hachiman Hikigaya does have some affection for her, it seems he was never even considered a wife candidate."

"This is outrageous, Your Excellency! Why did it have to be after our country fell that I finally discovered the truth?"

"Merry observed everyone's expressions, and the precocious little girl nudged Emilia's bottom. "Hey, big sister, is it really okay not to go up? Even I know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

Emilia gently shook her head, biting her lower lip. She wouldn't give up competing with Rem, but not now... The person she liked had finally woken up; for now, she should let her knight enjoy himself without any worries.

"The most important thing is that Hachiman is happy."

"Hmph, boring!" Priscilla, always eager for a good show, scoffed and criticized Emilia's cowardice. She had originally been looking forward to seeing that arrogant fool forced into a stammering predicament by a few women.

"That way, she can laugh all she wants."

More captivated by Reid's powerful combat abilities than by the celebration of his completion, it wasn't just the future Julius who was drawn to him; the present Julius, Blue Lightning, and Garfield, among other experts, also stared intently at Reid.

To them, the first Sword Saint who wielded his sword was far more captivating than the power of a billion kingdom emperors or a billion of the most beautiful girls in the world.

They looked at Reid like a pervert seeing a half-naked, half-covered young woman.

People like Miyuki Shirogane and Kyosuke Kousaka all breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely applauded the end of yet another threat.

Only Hachiman Hikigaya in the convenience store and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji in Class D have broadened their horizons and no longer pay attention to the future broadcast. The former sighed slightly, while the latter looked amused.

They have all discovered something more worthy of attention.

414. Under the Integration of the World

"Honestly, as soon as she regained her memories, Crusch-sama reverted to that clueless, clueless girl who's completely oblivious to romance!"

At the Carlsten mansion, Phyllis's cat ears and tail twitched. She felt incredibly anxious for Crusch, disappointed in her. The word "steel-hearted straight woman," which she had learned from chatting with Hachiman Hikigaya in the future, also unconsciously slipped out of her mouth.

Crusch turned her face away shyly, only to see Wilhelm, who had a similar expression to Phyllis.

Now, Crusch felt utterly humiliated and couldn't refute him.

Although she used to complain about how useless she was after losing her memory, constantly getting tricked and blocked, and always making stupid moves, even if she was bad after losing her memory, she was still worse than cunning foxes like Anastasia and Ram.

Now we have the most direct comparison; she's really amazing after losing her memory... well, compared to before she lost her memory.

At least she could still make moves after losing her memory, but once she regained her memory, she wouldn't even look at it anymore, let alone make any moves.

“After all, Polkenica is the target I want to expel, so it’s reasonable to keep an eye on her… Besides, I’m different now. I’m not such a tough, straight woman anymore!” Crusch could only dryly try to salvage her image through these patches.

But when it comes to being pitiful, Anastasia truly felt that she was more pitiful than Crusch at this moment.

"What a delusional loser."

Anastasia chuckled self-deprecatingly, then hugged Mimi, who was comforting her, sweeping away her resentment and disappointment. Smiling, she said softly, "I won't fail again... The Prime Minister is definitely mine, absolutely!"

At the same time, on the main street of the royal capital, Ram was about to celebrate with her sister when, in the next second, both she and Rem's pupils involuntarily contracted sharply. The two sisters looked at each other and saw a shocking shock in each other's eyes.

Their muscles tensed instantly as they drew their weapons, like cheetahs poised to pounce, and they weren't the only ones to do so.

"Is the time up?"

Inside the convenience store, as the video on the screen gradually froze, the future it was playing blurred and disappeared, as if the video had finished playing, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a mix of emotions.

Although a considerable amount of time has passed since the start of the future broadcast, everyone has felt that time is both flowing and not flowing, existing in a very peculiar state.

That's why he felt safe and able to stay in the convenience store and watch the video in peace.

Now it's different; he can feel that the world and time have returned to normal.

In this situation, if he stayed in the convenience store any longer, he might end up seeing Emilia's lifeless corpse with her intestines cut open after being transported to another world.

He sent emails to Komachi, Hayama, and others, containing all his thoughts. Hachiman Hikigaya stood up and, on the eve of his departure, took one last look at Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita let out a heavy sigh. She wanted to reach out and grab her boyfriend's sleeve, trying to stop Hachiman Hikigaya from leaving, but with lives at stake... she ultimately didn't do it.

She simply thought it was "the last time" and took the initiative to hug Hachiman Hikigaya, offering him a kiss and savoring her boyfriend's presence.

"I will never forget you, I will always remember you... So even if it's for Komachi's sake, or for my sake, please find a way back, Hikigaya-kun."

"I will find a way, just wait, Yukinoshita." Hachiman Hikigaya solemnly promised.

Standing before the Tower of Sages, he had resigned himself to the fact that once he traveled through it, he would never be able to return. However, the appearance of the witch factor and lust power at the end of the Tower of Sages gave him a glimpse of another possibility.

The one who transported him to another world was Satella. Satella, as the Witch of Envy, was powerful because she possessed witch genes and developed her own unique and powerful abilities.

If that's the case, couldn't Hachiman Hikigaya start with the gluttony factor or the greed factor and develop a unique ability that allows him to freely travel between two worlds?

In theory, it is definitely possible.

"Go for it, Hachiman!" "Don't die such a terrible death again!" "Even when you get over there alone, don't forget that there are people here supporting you!"

"Yeah, yeah, so remember to marry Emilia!" "What an idiot, of course he's going to marry Anastasia!" "You two, shut up! You should only say things like that when Yukinoshita isn't here!"

Inside the convenience store, all the customers and cashiers who had a great liking for Hachiman Hikigaya, who had already figured out what he was going to do, couldn't help but shout and cheer him on.

Hachiman Hikigaya felt his eyes welling up with tears. He bowed slightly to everyone and silently accepted their kindness.

Immediately afterwards, Hachiman Hikigaya turned around without hesitation and walked out of the convenience store.

Watching this unfold through the store's surveillance cameras, the Japanese military general slammed his fist on the control panel, his eyes bloodshot as he regarded Hachiman Hikigaya as an enemy.

In his view, the lives of a few people were insignificant. Hachiman Hikigaya should not have traveled through time at all, but instead actively cooperated with the military to undergo various inhumane examinations and surgeries in order to study the principles of death return and then replicate them.

In that case, Japan would dominate the world and could do whatever it wanted, and the general would be able to wield even greater power, kill indiscriminately, and enjoy pleasure.

It was an honor for Hachiman Hikigaya to be able to contribute to Japan and to him as a general.

"If I wasn't afraid that forcibly controlling Hachiman Hikigaya would lead to the reappearance of that jealous witch, I would have already sent people to storm into the convenience store and... *pfft*!"

The military general, who was gritting his teeth, suddenly had his head blown off, and a group of generals with fascist mindsets around him also died one after another.

In a different dimension higher than Earth, after making his move, the indifferent Ji-Gyu commented nonchalantly, "Nonsense."

Anything that could hinder world peace would be shot down by him, since a peaceful and united world is a prerequisite for fighting the abyss, and infighting must never occur.

As for people like Kiyotaka Ayanokouji who were secretly speculating about why the show stopped there and making various guesses, Chiku simply smiled.

There's really no complicated reason.

There is only one reason, a very simple reason: the combined will to merge the two worlds is already sufficient!

There's no need to project the future anymore. He's getting ready, and soon we can begin true world unification!

415. The battle for talent is about to erupt.

In a flash, everything went from dark to bright, and the surrounding scenery was completely different.

Hachiman Hikigaya was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the sky above the world, where the screen displaying the future was gradually disappearing, but he had seen it nonetheless.

"Gurgle..."

His throat bobbed, and Hachiman Hikigaya gave a bitter smile, as if mocked by fate. He lowered his head and sighed deeply, "What is this... So they also received a revelation of the future here? Then they don't need someone like me who's just being delusional."

He was quite happy about this fact, since with intelligence available worldwide, the Archbishop of Sin was definitely no match for Emilia and the others; it would basically be Reinhard's unparalleled journey of slaughtering pigs and dogs.

But his awkward expression overshadowed all other emotions... Being useless wasn't a problem; he was even happy to have some free time. The question was, how would Emilia and the others view Hachiman Hikigaya?

"Otherwise, I'll secretly go to Reinhard and ask him to leave me two witch factors so I can develop my powers and head home."

While watching the video, I was already clearly influenced by some external messages, but when the time came, I was still a little nervous about meeting Hachiman Hikigaya in person.

Having already entered into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Yukinoshita, and since he was no longer a necessity and didn't need her help, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly had second thoughts.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to cover his face, a surprised shout came from the side: "It's Hachiman Hikigaya!"

The identification, like a bolt from the blue, caused everyone on the entire street to turn their heads and look at it in an instant.

At first, they all froze and fell silent, but two seconds later, everyone's eyes widened, just like fans meeting a big star on Earth. They started shouting excitedly, their voices so loud that the soldiers waiting in the distance could hear them.

"It's Hachiman Hikigaya!" "Catch him quickly!" "Don't let him get away!"

Despite being a group of harmless individuals, their excited shouts terrified Hachiman Hikigaya, sending him into a cold sweat. Without a word, he turned and ran, but the crowd that surrounded and blocked him from all sides was even more terrifying, cutting off all his escape routes.

"Surely it's not that bad? Hey!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was already considering how to surrender, but the next second, everyone in his field of vision clutched their heads in pain, becoming weak.

He knew why, because he had received the same treatment.

…No longer just watching from the perspective of a third party who is partially affected, but having those futures truly crammed into my mind.

In the original future, everything that Hachiman Hikigaya personally experienced has become his memory at this moment.

The insertion of this memory was not abrupt at all, but it was slightly blurry and fragmented... Hachiman Hikigaya guessed that the reason for this was that if it were too clear and brand new, most people would not be able to handle it.

They accepted the memories of the original future, but were still guided by their present selves; the future memories were merely meant to allow people to empathize more realistically.

The impact is unavoidable, but everyone will still be guided by their present self, and will not be influenced by future memories to prioritize the future.

Hachiman Hikigaya's expression grew increasingly distressed. No matter how much his affection for Emilia and Anastasia grew, each increase made him feel like he was betraying his girlfriends.

It's a bittersweet feeling... mainly because I feel sorry for Yukino, otherwise it would be pure happiness.

Everyone else simply received their memories from the last death and return of each stage of Hachiman Hikigaya's life, but Hachiman Hikigaya was special; he had to receive the memories of all the death and return times, plus the memories of the Sanctuary Trials timeline.

This led to a situation where he wanted to escape quickly while others were absorbing the memories, but everyone else had already finished absorbing the memories while he was still stuck, leaving him unable to move.

Even now, Hachiman Hikigaya still can't be sure if someone is manipulating things behind the scenes... because according to Rui's introduction to Odo, the "center, origin, and end of the world" without its own will seems to be capable of doing what has happened.

"The Iron Fang Mercenary Group is on a mission. Unrelated personnel are requested to evacuate immediately to avoid being caught in the crossfire! -- Don't block the way, there's money to be made! You'll get your money as soon as you leave! Collect it at the Hexin Merchant Guild shop three kilometers away. Please cooperate!"

Rigado's loud voice stopped some people who had approached Hachiman Hikigaya. His more than two-meter-tall stature was extremely intimidating, and coupled with the large number of demi-human mercenaries he led behind him, it extinguished the attempts of some people to take advantage of the situation.

It was easy to guess the Iron Fang Mercenary Group's target. Some of those who supported Anastasia immediately made way, while those who supported the other candidates or Rem were tempted by the money offered by the Hessin Merchant Guild and rushed to collect it.

Anastasia's strategy, a perfect blend of kindness and severity, easily opened the road to Hachiman Hikigaya for the Iron Fang Mercenary Group.

Li Jiaduo grinned. "I've been waiting for you for so long, haha."

Li Jiaduo, who was beaming with joy, stopped abruptly as soon as he took a step. His joy had to be temporarily replaced by a strong fighting spirit as he sharply watched the elite soldiers of the Karlsten family surging in from another street.

Knowing that his wife was still alive and that Wilhelm could avenge his great grudge, he was filled with immense gratitude towards Hachiman Hikigaya, and thus became absolutely determined to get him.

His sword intent was chilling, and he said in a deep voice, "How about we stop here?"

Ricardo was under immense pressure; he knew he couldn't possibly lose to this sword demon, but…
