Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"The monster's corpse crashed to the ground, releasing plant dust. Although Kikyo quickly shot out an arrow to disperse all the dust, Shirogane Miyuki inevitably inhaled some of it because it dispersed so quickly."

"From the moment the monster dies, the powder appears and spreads rapidly before being dispersed, there are only a few seconds in total. He simply doesn't have time to escape."

"Kikyo's current body was meticulously crafted by Rito; it's not an ordinary mortal body. Therefore, unless it's something corrosive, normal poisons and powders won't have much effect on her."

"Just now, it was Shirogane Miyuki who was supporting Kikyo, but now the situation has completely reversed. Shirogane Miyuki, who has inhaled the poison powder, is powerless and is about to fall down when Kikyo catches him."

The sudden and unexpected development instantly quelled the cold infighting within the Shuchiin Student Council.

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes widened, her heart pounding in her throat, extremely nervous—regardless of whether the poison powder was harmful or deadly, or a special substance like an aphrodisiac, she couldn't accept it!

If it's the former, without suitable herbs on hand and with few healing techniques available, Kikyo might not be able to save the president.

Even if it's just the original future, something that can no longer happen, she absolutely doesn't want the president to die.

As for the latter, she could not accept it even more. A lone man and a woman, burning with desire, coupled with Kikyo's angelic spirit of selflessly saving others from suffering.

Would she offer herself to satisfy the chairman?

Kaguya Shinomiya felt that there was no way to guarantee that such a possibility would never arise.

She had always known that the president was a very responsible and good man.

As long as she can get ahead of Kikyo and create the established fact that the president cannot shirk responsibility for her, the president will definitely marry her and forget about the shrine maiden Tsubaki and Kikyo.

Of course, she'd be happy to do that!

"But, but..."

If you actively seduce the president now, and openly tell him that you want to sleep with him and be taken care of by him, wouldn't that be the same as bowing your head?

The president will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail her into switching from Anna's faction to Crusch's faction.

No way! Even a hundred years after her death, I will resolutely support Anastasia without wavering!

"Huff, huff... Calm down, really calm down. Kaguya Shinomiya, there is no room for compromise on matters of principle. Only by persisting can we achieve a bright future."

So, you see—

"I, Kaguya Shinomiya, am betting my future on this! I'm betting that this poison isn't an aphrodisiac, and that all the 'all-out' stuff is still a long way off!"

Kaguya Shinomiya waved her hand dismissively, declaring that there was no way she would submit to Crusch's tyranny!

Clang!

At the same time that Kaguya Shinomiya was forcibly holding on, in the dark area of ​​the Inuyasha world, Tsubaki's hand trembled, her legs went weak, and she felt dizzy and everything went dark.

As a shrine maiden, she was well-informed and could easily tell what the poison powder was. Its effect was to cause mental disturbances in those who inhaled it, resulting in hallucinations and delusions.

For example, mistaking Kikyo for her Miss Tsubaki.

"Ah, ahh..."

My brain is trembling.

574. Shirogane Miyuki, you kissed the wrong person! (Next)

"The equally knowledgeable Platycodon grandiflorus quickly recognized the effects of the poison powder."

"The examination revealed no physical damage, only mental confusion. And because Shirogane Miyuki's constitution is close to that of a yokai, this confusion will only last for two days. After that, her tension eased considerably."

"After that, Kikyo helped the dizzy Shirogane Miyuki walk along and found an abandoned, dry cave where they stayed temporarily."

"A barrier was set up to ensure that no monsters would sneak in and eat Shirogane Miyuki while she was out. Kikyo went out to search for firewood, edible plants, and fresh water."

"She's no longer human, so she doesn't need these things, but Shirogane Miyuki does."

"While Kikyo was busy, Shirogane Miyuki finally snapped out of his dazed state. He stood up unsteadily, staring blankly at the cave and the girl who was slowly walking in. Then his pupils contracted sharply, and he froze."

"In his eyes, the cave was not a cave, but a reflection of the Shuchiin student council that he knew all too well."

"The woman who walked in was not Kikyo, but Kaguya Shinomiya, the vice president he used to spend every day with."

"What's wrong, President?"

Hearing that voice after two years, Shirogane Miyuki's mouth went dry. He was overjoyed and no longer cared about being reserved or about any romantic battles. His body acted instinctively, and in an instant, he hugged Shinomiya Kaguya tightly.

"He held on very tightly, as if he wanted to make up for all the losses of the past two years."

"But it's not all because of love, but because of his attachment to the earth, his longing for the earth, and his attachment to the past."

"Shirogane Miyuki sensed that Shinomiya Kaguya's body stiffened briefly, as if she wanted to resist slightly, but in the end she did not push him away."

He was completely oblivious to such details, excitedly asking, "Where is everyone? Where is everyone? Ishigami, Fujiwara, and Iino? Are they all alright? Am I dreaming?"

"Oh dear, President, what a pity, everyone's not here right now. They've all gone to prepare for the Heart Offering Festival."

"Offering a heartfelt sacrifice?"

"Shirogane Miyuki remembered, that's right, it's about time to prepare this. And as the guild leader, he can't just sit idly by; he should help out. Hmm, let's see how luxuriously the exterior has been decorated after two years!"

"With a wide grin, Shirogane Miyuki released Shinomiya Kaguya and turned to look out the window. For some reason, Shinomiya Kaguya grabbed his hand, preventing him from getting any closer to the window."

"What happened?"

"Shirogane Miyuki tilted his head blankly. This won't do. He hasn't seen the scene in Shuchiin for so long. Why are you stopping him?"

"Having broken free from Kaguya Shinomiya's restraints with far greater strength than before, Miyuki Shirogane happily took a step forward, only to have his head slam into something with a thud."

"But he hasn't even reached the wall yet! Is there some kind of invisible wall blocking his way?"

"There was nothing he could do but stand here and look out, but what he saw was not the Shuchiin School he longed for, nor any students preparing for the Heart Festival."

"Ishigami, Fujiwara, Iino, not one of them."

"...Outside the window, there was a vast expanse of white mist."

"——"

"The unbelievable scene shocked Shirogane Miyuki, causing his eyes to widen and his confused thoughts to snap out of their daze."

He remembered that he had never returned to Shuchiin; he was still in the Warring States period, a time of bloodshed and tragedy.

"I was... right, that's right, I was with Kikyo, we encountered a yokai, and then..."

Muttering to himself, amidst the shocking images, Shirogane Miyuki, believing he had regained his senses, thought he had figured it out: "So that's how it is. Was I trapped in an illusion?"

"When Miss Tsubaki was teaching him, she said that some monsters can pull people's souls into illusions. At that time, people's real bodies will fall into a coma because they have lost their souls."

"That's probably his current situation. After all, this scene doesn't seem to have any possibility other than an illusion."

"That monster wanted to weave an illusion through his memories to make him indulge in it without resisting, and then consume him. It's just unknown whether the monster was too weak or unable to access all of his memories."

"So they only created Kaguya Shinomiya, and the only scene was the student council. There were too many continuity errors, which actually made him realize something."

"In that case, he must quickly rely on his willpower to leave this illusion. If the soul is separated from the body for too long, the body will weaken or even rot."

"Before that, there was one more crucial thing he needed to do."

"Phew~"

"Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath, turned around, and looked up at Shinomiya Kaguya in front of him."

"At that moment, he remembered the scene he had once witnessed: Hachiman Hikigaya saying goodbye to Yukino Yukinoshita during the Sanctuary Trials. After that, Hachiman Hikigaya never saw Yukino Yukinoshita again."

"He also has to consider whether this is the only and last chance he may ever have in his life. If he misses this opportunity, he will never see Kaguya Shinomiya again."

Even in an illusion.

"He is not Hachiman Hikigaya. Hachiman Hikigaya has found his own new treasure in another world, which is why he had to say goodbye to Yukinoshita with a heavy heart."

"But he hasn't clearly fallen for another girl yet, so he thinks he's qualified to kiss Kaguya Shinomiya and leave behind a beautiful fantasy, rather than ending with a sad farewell."

"It's impossible in reality, but at least he can fulfill his dream in this illusion."

"After the embrace, after the kiss, after making up for this regret, he can probably face the reality that on the original Earth, ten years after his disappearance, Kaguya Shinomiya would definitely be forced to marry someone else under the pressure of the Shinomiya family."

"The Four Palaces..."

"His intention to kiss her was obvious, but as he pressed closer, Kaguya Shinomiya, who in reality would definitely blush and be at a loss and then take the initiative to kiss him, actually adopted a posture that represented refusal in this illusion."

"They couldn't replicate his and Shinomiya's relationship? Does that mean they look down on their unrequited love for each other?"

"This made Shirogane Miyuki curse the damned youkai who created the illusion."

"But no matter what the fake Kaguya Shinomiya is like in the illusion, with his real-life relationship with Shinomiya as a foundation, even if it involves going against her wishes, he will absolutely kiss this Shinomiya!"

"The battle of wits in love, which had been dormant for two years, was restarted at this moment. On the surface, Shirogane Miyuki pretended to give up on kissing, but only asked for a hug."

Faced with this compromise, Kaguya Shinomiya did not refuse again and allowed him to get closer and hug her.

"At the very moment he successfully closed in, Shirogane Miyuki suddenly tightened his grip on the girl in his arms, pinning her down so she could hardly move."

He smiled triumphantly, lowered his head, and successfully kissed Kaguya Shinomiya's soft lips.

575. Good brother, I'll be the blond guy, you be the victim.

"—"

Just as Shirogane Miyuki's wicked scheme succeeded, the student council, Tsubaki's base, somewhere in Shuchiin, and Inuyasha and his group on their way to Jinenji Village all fell into a thick silence.

Although the video was already divided into two shots from the very beginning when the future Shirogane Miyuki fell into mental confusion, one of which showed what he saw, everyone could understand that he was not deliberately being a scoundrel.

But another objective and realistic perspective is attracting everyone's attention even more.

Miyuki Shirogane awoke, Kikyo returned, and he embraced her tightly. Kikyo's words were automatically translated as Kaguya Shinomiya's; in reality, she was assessing Miyuki Shirogane's mental state.

Shirogane Miyuki turned to look out the window but encountered an invisible wall, which was actually because he had already reached the deepest part of the cave.

As for kissing, Kikyo would naturally not agree to such a request. The hug was only to comfort Shirogane Miyuki and had no other meaning, but kissing, even for her, involved emotions and chastity, and was not something she could do lightly.

She never expected that Shirogane Miyuki would resort to such a treacherous scheme against her.

Her strength lay only in dealing with demons and monsters, so for a moment she really couldn't break free from Shirogane Miyuki, whose power had surpassed that of ordinary people. She was unable to move under his restraints and was eventually kissed by Shirogane Miyuki.

"Crack!"

His legs involuntarily exerted too much force, causing the ground to crack and creating a hole. Inuyasha was completely unaware of this; he simply looked up, his face filled with astonishment, staring at the scene in disbelief.

He watched as Kikyo, whom he loved, openly kissed his lifelong best friend, Shirogane Miyuki, in front of everyone.

Why did this happen? Who's to blame?

Is it because Kikyo wasn't careful enough? Is it because Shirogane Miyuki kissed the wrong person? Is it because of the yokai's poisonous powder?
