Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Inuyasha, he has a shard of the Shikon Jewel on him!"

"Kagome discovered the location of the Shikon Jewel shards, and the battle ended as the shards were removed from the painter's body."

"The artist himself has no superpowers at all. He has this ability entirely because of the Shikon Jewel shards."

508. Kyosuke, no way!

"The formidable lineup of Inuyasha and his group startled Miyuki Shirogane, and the effects of the Shikon Jewel shards made him even more nervous."

He really wanted to complain that compared to his own pathetic state, Kagome was even more of a powerful and arrogant character, and he also wanted to complain that it was really reasonable for a mere fragment to strengthen an ordinary person to such an extent.

"But Shirogane Miyuki ultimately didn't say these words, because there were more important things to do now—"

"—He hugged Inuyasha tightly."

Completely disregarding the fact that the other person was covered in foul-smelling ink, he gratefully, sincerely, and reassuredly embraced Inuyasha, who was wielding a large sword.

"Thank you, Inuyasha, thank you, thank you so much."

"He didn't know anything about Inuyasha at all, and he didn't have the eye of Hachiman Hikigaya to tell whether the other party was real or not at a glance... but he did it anyway."

"His feelings for Inuyasha went beyond gratitude for saving his life; there were other emotions involved as well. Inuyasha's appearance stopped his anger and disappointment, which was very important."

"...Ah, um, well..."

"Inuyasha was taken aback when he was hugged, then blushed. He scratched his head, his ears twitched, and his face turned a little red... Although he had saved many people since Kagome unsealed him, this was the only time he had received such enthusiastic, sincere, and direct thanks."

"This made him feel a sense of warmth, pride, and honor."

"Hey, Inuyasha, are you blushing?"

"Stop nagging!"

"The monk Miroku made a teasing face, and Inuyasha glared at him with bared teeth, which made Sango and Kagome laugh."

"The atmosphere on the field was suddenly filled with joy, except for the dejected artist who looked like his whole family had died."

"Whoosh—ha~"

In the student council room, Kaguya Shinomiya breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that her president had finally escaped the threat again, she finally had the leisure to glare at the ungrateful artist in a cold, murderous voice.

"Those ungrateful, heartless creatures should be chopped up and fed to the dogs... no, that's not right, they should be devoured alive, that would be even more painful!"

This view is universally accepted.

The worlds of Emilia and Kyal are not without people who repay kindness with enmity.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya's discerning eye ensured that he would never save such a counterfeit. As for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, no matter how selfish a person was, they wouldn't dare to do so in front of him.

Therefore, this is the first time such a person has been exposed on screen.

It can be said that it made everyone indignant, feeling that Shirogane Miyuki's good intentions were not worth it, and at the same time, they deeply understood the treacherousness of the Warring States period.

"Are you kidding me? I'm about to throw up!"

In the brass band, Kumiko Oumae was indignant, saying, "I won't be at peace until I kill this painter!"

"Seconded!" "Agreed!" "Add one more vote!"

At places like Soubu High School and Advanced Nurturing High School, people were passionately discussing how to torture the artists in the most satisfying way, but at Shuchiin Academy, Kashiwagi Nagisa and Tanuma Tsubasa exchanged a helpless glance.

Unlike the students around them who were shouting for revenge for President Shirogane, those who frequently went to the student council and knew Shirogane Miyuki well understood the situation.

Since there are no casualties, someone like Shirogane Miyuki would certainly not sentence an artist to death.

At the same time, at the Kousaka residence, Kirino Kousaka frowned.

To be honest, although all three worlds that have appeared so far have good people, they all have rather harsh and cruel worldviews, and it would be unpleasant to travel to them no matter how you look at it.

If there's a fourth other world in the future, it'll probably be pretty much the same.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at her older brother... In terms of excellence, she felt that Kyosuke was not as good as Hikigaya, Ayanokouji, and Shirogane, but he was actually not bad either.

If there were a fourth alternate world, who knows, my older brother might be the protagonist candidate?

"Hey, um... you need to be careful, don't time travel."

Feeling his younger sister tug at his clothes and say such caring words, Kousaka Kyosuke paused for a moment, then smiled.

Watching movies together significantly improved his strained relationship with his rebellious younger sister.

In high spirits, Kousaka Kyosuke reached out and stroked his tsundere sister's head, nodding and assuring her, "Yeah, don't worry, Kirino, even if it's you and Mom and Dad, I won't get hit by a car, and I won't go to look in the well."

"What are you saying? I don't care how you are doing. Humph, it's just that if you transmigrated, you would definitely make a fool of yourself and implicate me, that's why I said that!"

She panicked immediately, and Kirino Kousaka stammered and stuttered as she spoke.

As Kousaka Kyosuke watched her face turn as red as Inuyasha's, he understood perfectly well—although he couldn't see through his sister's tsundere nature before, now that he had a model to compare her to, he understood completely.

Meanwhile, in the world of Inuyasha.

In modern times, the moment Kagome appeared, her three closest classmates in the coffee shop—Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka—were stunned, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Hojo, the male classmate who clearly liked Kagome and had expressed his feelings to her several times, was even more direct, leaving the girl completely stunned.

Hojo wasn't some clueless blockhead; he could easily see that Kagome liked Inuyasha.

Regardless of their tone of voice, their concern during battle, or their banter after the war, everything they shared was filled with deep affection, almost like that of an old married couple.

Hojo-kun, utterly defeated!

"Great!"

People's joys and sorrows are not shared. At this moment, Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango are high-fiving and cheering. This is a great moment. Now that they have reunited, the probability of revealing the truth has increased.

Eliminate Kikyo's hatred today.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, the artist was furious, veins bulging, cursing incessantly, "Damn it! Damn it! Bastard! Ahhh, how dare you embarrass me, how dare you look down on me, I, I—ahhh!"

"We've found him!"

What interrupted his cursing was an extremely excited shout.

With this shout, the sound of approaching hooves signaled the arrival of the ambitious men leading their armies—the painter had not made any attempt to conceal his presence, and everyone easily spotted him.

The artist featured in the future episodes is quite talented. This didn't deter the ambitious individuals, because it was the army that charged into battle, while these powerful figures waited to reap the rewards from behind.

Rather than being deterred, it actually fueled their ambitions.

If a single fragment can make a down-on-his-luck, ordinary painter so powerful, wouldn't they be even stronger if the fragment fell into the hands of warriors who can fight three against one?

Becoming stronger would allow me to invade other countries and unify Japan—that would be incredibly satisfying.

"I'm going to be rich! Haha!"

509. A monster and a human desperately wanting to travel through time.

Blood flows into a river.

Venting their anger at future failures, the artist slaughtered most of the ambitious men who were about to attack.

The remaining people were terrified and led their defeated troops in a hasty retreat, intending to find highly skilled monks and witches to subdue the ink demon.

They didn't search for it before because they knew that the Shikon Jewel shards were actually more attractive to people with extraordinary abilities, but now it seems that they have no choice but to search for it.

The power of those who possess the Shikon Jewel shards was thus truly revealed to everyone, making even the most arrogant warlords no longer dare to underestimate them.

Although the painter was blinded by desire and anger, he fled immediately after killing the warlord and moved to a secluded place.

He's no longer a frog in a well. At least he knows that there are still people like Inuyasha who could easily kill him. He needs to hide well, otherwise he'll be in trouble if he encounters a powerful opponent.

"After holding him for a while, Shirogane Miyuki calmed down. Inuyasha, now free, reached out and handed the Shikon Jewel shards he had found on the painter to Kagome for safekeeping."

"Then, Shirogane Miyuki recounted his entanglement with the artist from beginning to end. This story of repaying kindness with enmity enraged Inuyasha, who wanted to draw his sword and kill him."

"But Shirogane Miyuki hadn't decided how to deal with the painter yet, so he tied him up and kept him as a prisoner for the time being."

"After that, Kagome and Miyuki looked at each other, both wanting to say a lot, but the wilderness was not a good place to chat, so they held back."

"Master Maitreya led everyone to the richest family in the area, saying that there was a monster in the house and that he had come to exorcise it—and indeed, there was a little monster hiding there."

"After the little demon was eliminated, everyone in the mansion was very grateful to Maitreya. They brought up fine wine and food and even allowed Maitreya and his party to sleep here tonight."

"Shirogane Miyuki discovered that this is the general's mansion where the painter was thrown out before."

"To be honest, he would rather live in a more dilapidated place than come here, because, like the painter, the people in this mansion gave him a very maliceful feeling, and he disliked them very much."

"But this was all thanks to Master Maitreya's hard work, so he couldn't say anything and could only stay."

"After throwing the tied-up artist into the mansion's warehouse, they gathered in a room and had dinner together. Shirogane Miyuki then began to talk to Inuyasha and the others."

"First, let's talk about the topic of time travel."

"Huh? Senior Shirogane can't go back?!"

"What? You can actually go back anytime?!"

"As a result, both Miyuki Shirogane and Kagome were deeply shocked, looking at each other as if they were aliens."

"I came here from the Bone-Eater's Well. That day, I was looking for a cat by the well when suddenly a monster jumped out and dragged me into the well, and that's how I ended up here."

Kagome explained the portal that allowed her to travel back to the modern era without reservation, saying, "Currently, it seems there's no limit to the number of times you can use it."

"She paused for a moment, as if remembering something, "However, my younger brother Sota, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo can't travel through time. Right now, the only ones who can travel back and forth between the two eras through that well are Inuyasha and me."

"What qualifications are needed to travel through time? Nobody knows."

"So, Sagi said that it's uncertain whether Miyuki Shirogane can return to the modern era... Kagome is quite worried."

"We're all busy right now, searching for the Shikon Jewel shards. We can't accompany you, Shirogane-senpai, to do the experiment, so here's a map for you. Go try it out by yourself."

Kagome said apologetically, "If the Well of Bones doesn't respond, Shirogane-senpai, why don't you go visit Granny Kaede's village nearby? We'll go back there once we're done with our work."

"When that time comes, Inuyasha and I will think of something to help."

"Shirogane Miyuki is no longer too concerned about whether he can travel back to the modern era, because after the initial shock, he has remembered."

"Based on the information Kagome provided, it is currently around 2000 in her world, and she has never heard of the Shinomiya Foundation, so it can be basically confirmed that Kagome's modern world is not the same as Shirogane Miyuki's original world."

"Since the student council members, father, and sister are not present, it doesn't make much difference whether he is in the Warring States period or the modern era—because if he needs modern items, he can simply ask Kagome to buy and pick them up for him."
