Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Therefore, given the current situation, he quickly accepted reality by referring to his two predecessors."

Miyuki Shirogane's memories of the viewing body, as well as the fusion of the Emilia world, the Kayal world, and Earth, have clearly been temporarily forgotten.

However, this was expected by all intelligent people, given the example of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

This is just the beginning. Everyone is very patient, just watching and not saying anything, waiting for Shirogane Miyuki to expand the world view before discussing various aspects.

But things are different in the modern world of Inuyasha. The people here have figured out that this is an Earthling who has traveled to another world, and they are all excited.

However, no matter how they searched, they could not find Shirogane Miyuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, and others, which made the higher-ups very anxious.

"Shirogane Miyuki knew very well that he was just an ordinary person who worked very hard, and did not have the profound and comprehensive wisdom of his two predecessors. Therefore, he did not act rashly, but planned to follow the methods of his two predecessors."

"First, be careful and cautious, and then protect your backpack, because the things inside might fetch a good price in another world."

"The most urgent task is to find a human settlement, because there might be monsters in the wild."

"Following the direction of the stream he found, Shirogane Miyuki walked along it, and half an hour later, he had reached the edge of the forest and was about to leave."

"Then he saw a beautiful woman leaning weakly against a big tree, looking like she would die soon if no one helped her."

"The other person was dressed in a very formal red and white shrine maiden outfit, with neat bangs and long, smooth, shiny black hair. Although her face was expressionless, her exquisite features were so stunning that they could make people forget to breathe."

Even though the shrine maiden's outfit covered her body, you could still tell that she had a great figure.

The shrine maiden looked up at the unexpected visitor and, in her ethereal and beautiful voice, politely asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"

"...Complete defeat."

"Although Shirogane Miyuki is not a superficial person, he still couldn't help but subconsciously compare this shrine maiden to the girl he knew best."

"The result is self-evident; in terms of appearance, figure, and voice, Kaguya Shinomiya is completely no match for her."

"To compete with this priestess in terms of beauty and not be at a disadvantage, one would probably have to be at the level of Emilia or Priscilla."

"However, after being amazed, Shirogane Miyuki put those thoughts aside."

"Because there are more important things than praising someone's appearance."

496. Waaaaah, I got beaten up!

"Um... do you know where any cities or villages are around here?"

"After being asked this question, the shrine maiden pointed in a direction with great effort. She was so weak that she could barely lift her hand. This one movement alone had exhausted her strength."

"Because the two wicked women, Freya and Noron, are still fresh in my mind, Shirogane Miyuki originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business."

"But seeing the shrine maiden's half-dead state, and looking at this desolate wilderness, he couldn't bear it any longer and spoke again, 'I understand, thank you... If you don't mind, shall I take you to the village?'"

The priestess simply shook her head slightly.

"Shirogane Miyuki guessed, 'Could it be that one of your companions or relatives will be coming looking for you later?'"

"Upon hearing the word 'comrade,' the ethereal shrine maiden visibly and briefly displayed a gloomy expression. Although she quickly concealed it, Miyuki Shirogane still noticed it."

"Naturally, he understood that this shrine maiden had no companions and wanted to stay here to fend for herself."

"I won't accept it!" Shirogane Miyuki gritted his teeth. "I'm sorry, I might have been too presumptuous, and I don't have the money to find you a doctor right now... but I can't accept watching someone die within my power."

He approached the priestess, extending his hand. "Can you walk? Let me help you up, and we'll go to the village together."

"The shrine maiden wasn't enthusiastic, and even seemed slightly averse to his help, but in the end she didn't resist. She was helped along by Shirogane Miyuki, and when he asked her, she casually gave him her name: 'Kikyo.'"

"The two headed towards the village, but what Shirogane Miyuki didn't see was that Kikyo waved her other hand behind her back."

"As she moved, a dozen or so white insects, each with a ball of light on each of their four legs, floated in the air and stopped in the forest."

"They were all originally going to fly towards the bellflower with a clear goal."

"Pyramid, bellflower!?"

Among the group who were casually resting in a forest, Inuyasha suddenly widened his eyes, his heart stopped, and his mind was in turmoil.

A few days ago, the black witch Rita stole Kikyo's corpse powder, using it to reshape Kikyo's body into a tile-like form. Then she captured Kagome and extracted Kikyo's soul from her body.

Kikyo was thus resurrected... but she was resurrected with a burning rage towards Inuyasha. At the time, she wanted to kill Inuyasha, but her soul was instead partially absorbed back by Kagome.

In this incomplete state, Kikyo stumbled away, and no one knew her whereabouts.

Now, with his mind in complete turmoil, Inuyasha jumped to his feet, muttering to himself, "I...I—I'm going to her! I'm going to find Kikyo!"

His words saddened Kagome, and the discreet Miroku immediately offered a reason: "Calm down, Inuyasha. How can you know where Kikyo is just by looking at the scenery of those forests?"

That makes a lot of sense, and it puts Inuyasha on hold for now.

"Kikyo!?"

At this very moment, there is someone whose thoughts are even more chaotic than Inuyasha's, and that is Naraku in the castle.

His eyes widened, completely dumbfounded. How could Kikyo, who had been dead for fifty years, be resurrected out of nowhere?

...The reason we can be so sure is that this is Kikyo's resurrection, not a scene from fifty years ago.

It is because highly skilled and insightful demons, priestesses, and monks can all see that Kikyo's current body is a fake ceramic body, not a human body.

Surprised, frightened, and delighted, Naraku immediately ordered his demon subordinates to investigate why Kikyo was still alive.

"But... are those insects dead soul insects?"

In a dark little house, the black witch Tsubaki made a judgment: "Kikyo is currently lacking a soul, so I sent the Soul Worms to collect souls. As long as those souls enter her body, she will immediately recover her health."

"But Kikyo, in order not to frighten this ordinary person who suddenly barged in, gave up her plan to immediately replenish her soul, not wanting this Shirogane Miyuki to see the dead soul worms."

The black witch Tsubaki clicked her tongue and shook her head. Fifty years have passed, and even though she has died once, Kikyo is still so kind, so radiant, and so lovable.

"That's why I hate you even more, Kikyo! ...But, this ordinary person who messed things up, his name, his face... I feel like I vaguely remember him?"

Chun tried to recall things with a puzzled look, but couldn't remember anything for the time being.

Meanwhile, on Earth, it had already been detonated!

"Wow, wow wow wow!"

In the hospital, Aki Tomoya's eyes practically bulged out, and he was drooling. "This Kikyo is clearly a typical Yamato Nadeshiko, the gentlest and most husband-centric type. This is exactly the type of anime girl I've been looking forward to!!"

He was drooling with envy, which turned into jealousy and hatred, and he was full of curses. Aki Tomoya cursed Shirogane Miyuki, this lucky but useless guy.

"Why not me! I also want to meet a beautiful shrine maiden of the Yamato Nadeshiko type and be pursued by her! Damn Shirogane Miyuki!"

Of course, the others weren't as exaggerated or crazy as Aki Tomoya, but they all genuinely had a good impression of Kikyo.

After all, who doesn't love a Yamato Nadeshiko?

"Waaah... Although I'd love to match Shinomiya-senpai with the student council president, no matter how you look at it, Shinomiya-senpai is at a complete disadvantage."

In the student council, Ishigami Yu was very careful and used very tactful language. Even so, it still made the dazed Kaguya Shinomiya furious.

Because she could see that this shrine maiden completely overwhelmed her, just as Emilia had completely overwhelmed Yukinoshita back then, she was even more afraid and angry.

"Why is it that the student council president gets to meet such a beautiful girl right from the start? Why? This just doesn't make sense!"

'I bet that all the women in this other world are at the level of Setsuna and Kreeha,' he thought, and one second he went all in, and the next second he lost everything.

Kaguya Shinomiya was filled with grief and indignation; she was so angry she almost cried, sob sob sob.

Kaguya Shinomiya was starting to lose sight of reality and was beginning to be blind to reality: "Look at those bugs, this guy definitely has a secret, he might not be a good person at all!"

Nobody would believe such nonsense.

In a distant place, the moment Kikyo appeared, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded, making an unwavering judgment: "This is genuine, and a genuine item of extremely high purity!"

The scene with the dead soul insects didn't change his mind; instead, it reinforced his belief that Kikyo was undoubtedly a very good and kind person, just like Miyuki Shirogane.

497. Four Palaces, Four Double Losers

Faced with a flustered and furious Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane could no longer maintain his composure.

"It's true that this shrine maiden has secrets, but to say that she's some kind of malicious person with ulterior motives is too hasty... And you're interrogating her far too early, Shinomiya!"

In a relationship, presence and charisma play a very important role.

At this moment, making full use of his knowledge of romantic confrontation, Shirogane Miyuki stood up abruptly, slammed his hand on the table, and stared directly at the fiercely accusing Shinomiya Kaguya without any qualms.

This tactic of advancing instead of retreating, and turning the tables on Kaguya, instantly overwhelmed her in terms of momentum, leaving her in a state of astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, Shirogane Miyuki waved his hand, launching a relentless pursuit:

"And who do you think I am? Do you think my love is so cheap? I never expected that after spending two years together, you would still have such prejudice against me. I'm so heartbroken, Shinomiya!"

"Huh? Uh... no, no, I am—"

Although Kaguya Shinomiya usually wins more often than she loses in romantic battles of wits, it's obvious that her defenses are extremely weak once her romantic intentions are out in the open.

It was sunk in an instant and firmly controlled.

Before she could regain her composure, Shirogane Miyuki had already changed the subject, offering his own completely innocent argument from a different angle.

"Besides, whether I like it or not is one thing, but is it even possible for the other person to like me?"

He cited facts as examples: "Hachiman is more charming than me when it comes to attracting girls, but even so, people like Ram, Mimi, several witches, and Aragira didn't fall in love with him, did they?"

Just because a man or woman is exceptionally outstanding doesn't mean that other attractive people of the opposite sex will necessarily fall in love with him.

This involves factors such as personality compatibility and shared experiences.

For example, Mimi likes a carefree boy like Jiafeier who likes to boast. No matter how outstanding others are, she would never give up Jiafeier for another man.

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Fujiwara Chika wholeheartedly agreed, "Although Kaguya-san really likes the president, many people can't actually like him because his eyes are so fierce."

"So, that means that!" Listening to the two of them singing in unison, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but feel moved, realizing that she was indeed as steady as a rock.

She started to soften... but that wasn't enough; perhaps in a few minutes her mind would regain its dominance.

Shirogane Miyuki rolled his eyes, leaned forward, and revealed a meaningful expression.

"So what are you afraid of, and what are you accusing me of, Shinomiya? This shrine maiden and I are clearly far from having any chance of getting together."
