Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

A ribbon tied in a love knot binds the two souls together, holding them firmly in place.

It is a connection that is more reliable and intimate than any sweet words, any verbal promise, any vow, or even hundreds or thousands of sexual encounters.

From this moment on, Tsubaki and Miyuki Shirogane became the two closest people in the world, and neither family, friends, nor even death could separate them.

"..."

Returning to reality from this soul-stirring moment, Miss Tsubaki stopped struggling. She turned around, her eyes sparkling, and stared intently at her beloved Miyuki, her gaze filled with deep affection.

Kikyo stood to one side, consciously taking several steps back, feeling a sense of the beauty of life, and quietly smiled.

692. Ibiruai's Love

"Speaking of which, what if Miss Evilue suddenly finds herself transported back thirty years one day?"

In the Classics Literature Club, Chitanda Eru tilted her head, expressing her curiosity and nervousness, fearing that the two lovers who were not yet a couple would suddenly be separated.

“No.” Oreki Houtarou said with certainty, “Kousaka Kyosuke will return to thirty years in the future because his premise is safety, but his premise for bringing Evilue here is that he wants to see a safe and living Evilue.”

"But the Ibiruai of thirty years later is beyond dead. There is only one living Ibiruai. If she goes back to thirty years ago, her wish will not be fulfilled."

"Unless Kyosuke Kousaka grants Evilue's wish to return, she will stay here, by Kyosuke Kousaka's side, and the two of them will face the difficulties together."

Chitanda Eru's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"But whether this is a good thing or not is hard to say." Oreki Houtarou narrowed his eyes slightly, with a bad feeling. He knew that Kousaka Kyosuke's journey ahead would be more dangerous than before.

What if things go wrong and Ibiruai dies again?

That could very well lead to a supernova explosion.

"As dusk fell, the firewood pile crackled and popped, lying across the middle. To the left was Kyosuke Kousaka, and to the right was Evilue. The two lay on the ground, each with their backs to the other, silently keeping quiet in perfect harmony."

"Even without a mirror, Kyosuke Kosaka could clearly feel how blushing he was. His heartbeat, along with the temperature of his entire body, made him so excited that he couldn't fall asleep at all."

"Several times he tried to secretly turn over and steal a glance at Evilae, but he, who used to be able to communicate and even make physical contact with any girl in a natural and open manner, now seemed to be possessed by the former Hachiman Hikigaya."

"Become timid, become cautious, dare not do anything, for fear that an unintentional action may offend people."

"Suddenly, I became very careful about my words and actions, my appearance, and everything else. I was very tense."

"Over the years, he has only shown this special reaction from today onwards when facing Ibiruai."

"To be honest, he didn't hate himself like this. This experience of tension mixed with certain emotions actually brought him unprecedented joy... Finally, after an hour of quiet, guessing that Ibiruai might have fallen asleep, he finally dared to hold his breath and gently turn over."

"It was just a simple movement of turning over, but it took him almost a minute, just so he wouldn't make a single sound and disturb the girl who might have already fallen asleep."

"When he turned over, what came into view was the face of Ibiruai, who had also turned over at some point, but whose eyes were closed and who was breathing softly and adorably."

He had seen that absolutely beautiful face many times before. Although he had thought "so pretty" before, that was all. He hadn't looked at it more than once in all those days.

"This time it felt like discovering a new continent. Just one glance was enough to make me want to reach out and touch it. There was a... a... very bad, dirty thought."

"Ibiruai's face is like the night sky, with twinkling stars. You can never get tired of looking at it. Every second you look at it, you can discover something new. It's so beautiful that it's intoxicating."

"..."

"Kousaka Kyosuke hurriedly turned around. He was afraid that if he looked any longer, he really wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, tormented by those heart-fluttering thoughts."

"..."

"The second after someone turned over, Evilue, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes. She stared at Kyosuke Kousaka's back, which was not broad but was solid and reliable, and pursed her lips slightly."

"In this long-awaited sense of security, she closed her eyes again, a lovely smile on her face, and drifted off to sleep without any defenses."

The firewood crackled and popped, and faintly, Kyosuke Kosaka seemed to hear the girl's uniquely beautiful voice say, "Goodnight."

"Terrible! Lowest! Bizarre, meaningless, utterly disgusting! What is this? How could someone like a twelve-year-old girl? Huh? What kind of person is this? A lolicon?"

Overcome with anger, Kirino Kousaka's anger level soared, and she threw away all the pretense of being a good little sister that she had previously cultivated, revealing her true, violent nature.

She was furious and anxious, so angry that she jumped up and down. If Kousaka Kyosuke were here, he would have taken at least three or five punches from her, and his eyes would have been filled with stars.

If she weren't certain she couldn't beat that little bitch Evilue, she would definitely give that shameless vixen who had taken someone else's brother a good beating once the worlds merged.

"Yes, lolicon is absolutely terrible. A twelve-year-old's appearance and body, just for that reason alone, I can't just sit by and watch my senior fall into the abyss."

Black Cat smiled knowingly, "However, a fourteen-year-old girl isn't much different from a twelve-year-old. It's just a matter of whether she's a little lolicon or a big lolicon. I think fourteen-year-old lolis shouldn't get involved."

“I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that,” Ayase, who was also fourteen years old, said sharply. “Feelings don’t depend on age, and in another year, I can naturally start dating my brother!”

"Yes, yes!" Kirino quickly echoed.

The next second after agreeing, she suddenly froze... Didn't this mean that she had unintentionally given Yibiruai's identity as a fox spirit a legitimacy?

How dare they take advantage of their age to cause trouble!

Kirino Kousaka was furious. She glared at the black cat, unable to understand what it was trying to do.

Manami pushed up her glasses. She understood now. Kuroneko was the kind of girl who was selfless. In other words, Kuroneko would do whatever was most beneficial to her crush.

Previously, Kuroko believed that she had a chance of winning because she was subconsciously liked by Kousaka Kyosuke, so she was not prepared to make any concessions and would fight to the end.

But now, having witnessed Kousaka Kyosuke's feelings for Evilia far exceeding his feelings for other girls, she decided after careful consideration that it would be best for her to simply withdraw and not disturb them.

That way, Kousaka Kyosuke will be even happier.

With this realization, she changed her attitude and prepared to reluctantly part with the other three to prevent them from bothering Kyosuke Kousaka and Evilue.

"...What an admirable dedication. I am far inferior to you, Black Cat. But is it really that simple? No matter how much Kyosuke loves Evilue, I have no intention of backing down... Can my love for Kyosuke be less than hers?"

She glanced at the black cat, muttered to herself, narrowed her eyes, and her attitude became resolute.

693. Overlord - Ah, good, I won!

"oops!"

At the same time that the Kirino group of four, who had previously been united against a common enemy and stood on the same front, fell apart and each had their own agenda.

In the Shuchiin student council, completely ignoring Ishigami Yu's terrified cries for help, Kaguya Shinomiya, head over heels in love, blushed shyly, thinking that one day she would be able to spend time alone with the president again, just like Kousaka Kyosuke and Evilai.

Of course, one shouldn't be that naive; that would be too innocent and out of touch with the times.

They should look into each other's eyes, then hug, kiss, and then naturally... well, just get straight to the point.

Spurred on by Miss Tsubaki, she no longer cared about being shy and wanted to do *that* with the president to assert her dominance, but she just couldn't find a good opportunity.

"Hmph, you've ruined my plans time and time again... You mere shrine maiden!"

Kaguya Shinomiya grumbled softly, then suddenly froze. Yes, the president clearly liked shrine maidens; after all, their clothes were very elegant and enhanced their appearance.

So why has Kaguya Shinomiya been foolishly wearing this incredibly conservative Shuchi High School uniform for so long?

"Oh dear!" Annoyed by her belated realization, Kaguya Shinomiya hurriedly left the student council to find Ai Hayasaka to have a beautiful shrine maiden outfit custom-made for her.

Little did they know that just a few dozen minutes earlier, a talented but immoral Miss Chun had reached an end point she could never achieve in her entire life by adhering to the initiative of "creating opportunities when none exist".

"..."

On the territory of the Blue Rose, for the umpteenth time, she was grateful that she had a mask to cover her face. She tugged at her cloak, trying to hide herself more under her clothes.

Every move she made revealed the turmoil in her heart.

She was so shy that she wanted to lower her head to avoid the teasing looks from her companions. But then she couldn't help but raise her head, her face flushed as she glanced at Kousaka Kyosuke, whose heart had fluttered because of her.

"It was early in the morning. After tossing and turning all night, Kyosuke Kousaka got up immediately, trying to pretend that he hadn't been unable to sleep but had just gotten up early. Evilue, who knew perfectly well what was going on, didn't expose him."

"The two fledglings on their journey have now completely processed yesterday's emotions. That's why they immediately look away when their eyes meet, which is quite awkward."

"Ibiruai has lived for over two hundred years, and has never been in love, or even been attracted to any man. She is at a loss and has no idea how to deal with her abnormal thoughts."

"Fortunately, we can use the excuse of doing serious business to create the appearance that we have no time to talk by focusing on moving forward."

"However, it's not entirely an excuse... Kousaka Kyosuke cares about the common people. He never intended to fall in love before resolving the issues with the Magic Kingdom and the Undead. At least not until after that, otherwise he wouldn't be at peace with himself."

"Along the way, because they were well aware of the immense power of the Sorcerer Kingdom and didn't know if they had any special magic that could reveal Entoma's death and cause of death, Kousaka Kyosuke and Evileye were extremely cautious."

"Before they even got close to the original capital, they saw many horrific scenes of the undead enslaving living beings in the surrounding cities and villages."

"Both of them were filled with righteous indignation, and they barely managed to restrain themselves from going in to carry out justice, lest they alert the enemy."

"They are outnumbered and outmatched. What they should do most is to gather as much intelligence as possible. The leaders of these surrounding cities and villages are not high-ranking undead, so taking them down would be pointless."

"We should be able to gain more from the capital."

Thinking this, when Kousaka Kyosuke and Evilue arrived outside the capital, they hid themselves well.

"During his journey, Kyosuke Kousaka created a fifth-tier vision-enhancing spell based on his existing body-enhancing magic. Kyosuke Kousaka has now broken through to become a fifth-tier mage, on par with Evilue."

"So you can see the interior of the capital city clearly from a distance outside the city."

"With just one glance, Kyosuke Kosaka's heart raced. This wasn't the flutter of excitement he felt when looking at Evilue, but a heart attack that left him speechless."

"The once prosperous capital is now mostly deserted, and most of it has been reduced to ruins. It is clear that it has suffered severe damage."

"However, none of that is the point. Back in the vampire village, Kyosuke Kousaka already knew about the situation in the royal capital."

"What truly made him lose his composure was a simply dressed man, half-squatting and half-kneeling, on a frozen street in the capital. That man was frozen and permanently encased, forever frozen at the moment of death."

"His muscles were frozen at that moment, so you can see that he exerted all his strength and exceeded his limits before he died, unleashing an extraordinary sword strike."

"I can sense that the sword strike was from the current Kyosuke Kousaka, and it's even more powerful than Evilue's current attack."

"But his expression was one of relief mixed with helplessness. While he was very satisfied with the resounding sword strike he had delivered, he was also lamenting the strength of the enemy. He had failed to defeat the enemy and had been defeated honorably."

"The man's name, the name of this corpse, is Brian."

"?...!!"

Brian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, followed by surprise, ecstasy, and exhilaration. "Ha, hahahahahaha!"

"I won! I won!"

He clapped his hands, hurriedly slung the sword over his waist, stood tall and proud, and rushed out of the house, shouting repeatedly, "I got it! Yes, I got it!"

The passersby, who had initially been annoyed by the sudden noise, glared at him, but the next second they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief, just like he had before, and gasped in shock: "It's him! It's him! It's Brian!"

The entire capital city seemed to have become Brian's fans in an instant, surging over like a chaotic horde of zombies.

Brian was originally very vain, but at this moment he no longer cared about such vanity. Instead, he was more immersed in the joy of his future self truly creating a powerful sword technique that broke through the limits.

He leaped up with a bang, scaling walls and rooftops so the residents couldn't touch him from below, and then he quickly circled the entire capital.

The exclamation "Hey! Good! I won!" spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital.
