Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"When he publicly rebuked Aimo, it was certainly to fulfill Yukino's request. On the surface, his eyebrow-raising technique seemed a bit overpowering, but deep down... he was really enjoying the insults!"

"He also has a sense of justice, but he's generally too lazy to deal with these filthy things, and he doesn't have the power to do so."

"I could rebuke Sagami for Yukinoshita before, and now, for Emilia who saved my life, I can certainly stand up and refute Rom's fallacies!"

"This..." Rom was speechless, while Hachiman Hikigaya coldly concluded their clash of values ​​with a final punctuation mark: "That's how it is. Don't be misled by him, Emilia."

"Oh my, I was wondering why you, who weren't usually so talkative, have the leisure to spout these kinds of道理 (principles/truths) now. Are you worried about Rita and feeling sorry for her?" Pakkun teased, winking and making faces. Hachiman Hikigaya ignored him, crossing his arms and turning his face away, pretending not to hear.

Emilia didn't know whether to be touched or angry. She was indeed kind, but not so kind as to pity a thief, especially since the thief had stolen such an important item.

"Heh... Fine, old man, I can't argue with you. Let's settle this with our skills. I will absolutely not hand Felt over to you!"

"Hachiman, step back!"

"Hachiman Hikigaya dashed more than ten meters, and when he turned around, his two-meter-long spiked club had already smashed several large craters into the ground with a loud bang."

"Emilia remained calm, her arm waving, magical elements whipping up countless ice spikes that pierced Rom's flesh, spraying waves of bright red blood in the air. Her combat performance was composed under pressure, the hem and sleeves of her white robe fluttering sharply with her movements."

"How...how..." Like a painter who committed suicide by drowning himself after seeing the ultimate art, Hachiman Hikigaya's throat bobbed, his pupils deeply imprinted with that magnificent figure, and a surge of emotion welled up within him.

He was utterly dejected, and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "How utterly incompetent I am."

"Give up, I don't intend to hurt you."

"The combined combat power of Emilia and Puck is undoubtedly overwhelming. The ice spikes all around completely blocked Rom's movements. The giant bloodline, which is a bright advantage when dealing with other enemies, is extremely humiliated at this time. Precisely because of its huge size, it has become a perfect target. The damage is too much and too varied, making it difficult to fight back."

"This well-intentioned offer of surrender is highly credible. After careful consideration, Lord Rom was about to call a truce when suddenly a startled voice rang out: 'Lord Rom—!!!'"

"What...what did you do to Lord Rom?!"

"A voice, filled with gritted teeth and deep hatred, approached rapidly. Before Hachiman Hikigaya could react, his hands were suddenly twisted and turned, and a knife appeared at his neck. Felt, whom he had met once before, had taken him hostage!"

"Let him go!" Emilia shouted hastily, only to be told, "Stay away from Rom for now. If you have a problem, come at me." Felt recognized her as the owner of the lost item.

A few beads of cold sweat trickled down Hachiman Hikigaya's forehead. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, but his dejection was more intense than his fear. "Not only is he useless, but he's also a burden..."

"What are you babbling about? Shut up!" The knife pressed against her neck slightly grazed her skin; Felt's attitude was far from polite.

"Lia, time's almost up," Parker squinted. "What should we do? Should we go all out and finish them off?"

8. To sacrifice one's life for righteousness

Emilia's pupils contracted, and a surge of intense anger welled up within her. Even when the badge was stolen, she was only anxious, but the moment Hachiman Hikigaya's throat bled, a terrifying aura, like a raging storm, suddenly erupted from her.

"She wasn't foolish enough to withdraw her attack on Lord Rom; instead, she intensified it, surrounding him from all sides with a dense array of icy spikes radiating cold."

"'If anything happens to him, he will be separated from you, his dear elder, forever!' This threat was conveyed through an unusually tense expression."

"Emilia, who appears innocent, cute, and somewhat delicate when she's with Hachiman Hikigaya, can be just as decisive when she needs to be ruthless."

“Damn it…don’t you care about this person’s life?” Felt was also very nervous, her heart filled with horror.

Parker, who had lived a long life, was well aware of the consequences of showing weakness in this situation, and chuckled lightly: "Oh dear, that's a question we should be asking you. Do you want to watch your Grandpa Rom die on the spot? You'll regret it for the rest of your life. I advise you to think carefully."

"Hachiman Hikigaya was stunned. A burning, intense sense of shame surged through his heart—Emilia could remain calm and fight even in the face of a life-or-death crisis, while he was not only terrified and cold-limbed, but also lacked the strength to fight to the death. He was simply too useless."

"At least... I can't be a burden to her!"

Emilia mistook his piercing gaze for a reproach and panicked, but the words that reached her ears the next second shook her to her core.

"Hahaha, ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"

Hachiman Hikigaya burst into laughter, completely unconcerned that his life was in Felt's hands. He grinned with an extremely mocking expression, brimming with a strange sense of superiority. "You've captured me, so why should she stop? Have you ever seen a noble lord hesitate to act because of a servant? This just goes to show that the lower class is the lower class; the logic is utterly absurd!"

"This...this guy, isn't he afraid I'll just kill him with one blow?"

Even though the person being mocked was herself in the video, Ferut clenched her fists tightly in real life.

"His goal was to provoke you at that time. If you had killed him, he might have thanked you instead."

As Rom packed his bags, he was filled with emotion, and his eyes gradually lit up with approval. "What a fine lad. To repay a debt of gratitude, to win without restraint and retrieve his lost item for that little girl, he was willing to sacrifice his life for something worthwhile... We were wrong, Felt. This job, both morally and logically, was one we shouldn't have taken."

“…Hmm.” With mixed emotions, Ferut reluctantly acknowledged the fact.

The idea of ​​sacrificing oneself for righteousness is something that only exists in history books for most people. After all, Hachiman Hikigaya himself said, "My survival is my first priority." However, he did the exact opposite of what he said, which is hard not to be moved by.

"Waaaaah, so cool! If I were in a similar situation, would the president be so willing to do the same for me? Ahh, just thinking about it makes me so cool, president!"

Under the silent gaze of the maid Hayasaka Ai, Kaguya Shinomiya indulged in a tantrum of daydreams, then immediately shook her head fiercely: "No, no, that day can never come. I don't want the student council president to end up in such a dangerous situation!"

Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from officials, his parents, classmates, and Yuihama. He eventually turned down the others and answered a call from his sister, Komachi Hikigaya.

"Brother, you big idiot!" Komachi Hikigaya's voice was choked with sobs. "You scared me to death! I thought you had traveled to another world. Honestly, when you're playing the hero or sacrificing yourself for someone, don't you ever think about Komachi? What if Komachi never sees you again!"

"Ah... um... yes, yes, Komachi, don't cry, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Awkward and humbled, Hachiman Hikigaya endured the barrage of care from his sister, feeling a warmth in his heart like the sun radiating sunshine, bright and radiant.

"Yeah, don't worry. Now that I know leaving the convenience store might lead to time travel, of course I'll stay in the convenience store. I have no interest in traveling to another world. Emilia... she can handle Felt and Rom perfectly well without my help."

"Hehe, that's good, I was so worried!"

Hikigaya Komachi wiped away her tears, then smiled mischievously and said, "But this is really great! Even though nothing has happened yet, my brother's trustworthy and brave qualities have been certified by everyone in the world. Out of billions of people, at least a few beautiful girls should be willing to be my sister-in-law, right?"

"!!!"

Yukino, who was eavesdropping, trembled all over as fear crept into her body.

Yes, no matter how many bad things Hachiman Hikigaya has, billions of people know him now. Surely there are a few pretty girls who like him?

“I was here first…” Yukino Yukinoshita immediately and involuntarily took Hachiman Hikigaya’s hand, her hand no longer content with just the sleeve, her shyness and reserve acting faster than her own.

Both of them were stunned.

Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated, then stammered, "Yukinoshita, you..."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes sweeping over each other's faces, and then, with a sudden realization, they both discovered that the other had vaguely sensed something.

Minor conflicts from the past, even sentimentality rooted deep in the soul, have loosened and vanished under the pressure of unexpected external forces. The wall that separated them has suddenly been struck by a hammer and is now teetering on the brink of collapse.

"N-nothing..." Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, sensing that Hachiman Hikigaya was also shy about holding hands with her, so she gave a soft hum and took the initiative to hold his hand even tighter.

"Ah, ah, oh..."

In this situation, the two people, who had become taciturn, didn't dare to look at each other at all. They turned their identical, flushed cheeks away and spoke in hushed tones.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s just…” Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to argue, but Emilia’s stunning beauty flashed through her mind, along with Komachi Hikigaya’s opinion just now, and she swallowed the words back. “…Let’s watch the video.”

"…Um."

Hachiman Hikigaya was also very curious about what kind of person Felt was, whether she still had a conscience, and whether it would be good for all four of them if she could come to her senses.

"Not only Felt, but also Rom and Emilia, everyone paused for a moment, showing a brief moment of astonishment."

9. First encounter kills are inevitable.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Felt's head went blank, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

"With a high-class burial offering like you, blessed with divine protection, I can die in peace. Let us meet the rest of our lives together." The more this happened, the calmer Hachiman Hikigaya became. His composed tone betrayed no hint of the turmoil within him, successfully deceiving Felt.

"You bastard...!"

Felt gritted her teeth. At this moment, Rom had already begun to give up resistance. He knew that he had provoked an enemy he could not afford to offend. At the same time, he was also influenced by Hachiman Hikigaya's spirit and believed that they were just trying to take back the lost item.

"My life is not worth worrying about." He panted heavily, not revealing his own thoughts. "The choice you make is yours... With the protection of the wind, you are the one in control. Don't be blinded, Felt."

"Hachiman Hikigaya's heart is broken. He's good at pretending to be ruthless, but this old man is truly ruthless."

He masked his unease with a nonchalant smile: "Yes, think it over carefully. Your Lord Rom's life and death are entirely in your hands. Don't let yourself regret it."

"Release Hachiman, return my badge, and I may not pursue your crimes."

Emilia's superior conditions timely swayed Felt's resolve. "Nonsense... Damn it! Ugh, why should I believe you?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, feigning nonchalance, immediately retorted sarcastically, "If it were truly going to harm you, you wouldn't think your Mr. Rom would still be alive today, would you?"

"Gurgle..."

"I...I understand...I'll throw you the badge. Get away from Rom first, or I'll kill this guy!"

As soon as Felt uttered those words with a snarling grin, the four people present and Parker all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their gazes toward each other softened slightly from 'enemies'.

"bite--"

"Oh dear, that won't do!"

"The moment the badge was thrown into the air, Emilia's attention was almost entirely focused on it, while Parker diverted half of his attention to guard against the two who had not yet surrendered. Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that the battle would end soon and peace would be restored."

"Until the sudden whisper of death appeared, a tear appeared in Emilia's noble white robe, her intestines and blood gushing out like a gushing river from the wound."

"Clatter".

"Emilia, dead!"

"BOOM!!!!"

The temperature dropped across the entire street, as if it were covered in ice and snow. Parker, who always appeared friendly and smiling, clenched his fists, his face turning ashen.

"She—how—dared—!!!"

"This……"

Emilia was completely stunned, overwhelmed by shock and horror. She never expected to die so easily.

"Parker, calm down! This is something that will happen in the future!"

As more and more people around her started sneezing, Emilia, still shaken, immediately scooped up Parker and gently comforted him.

"Ah, I'm trying my best..." Parker's eyes gleamed with murderous intent, determined to permanently imprint the killer's information.

The uproar didn't just happen to the deceased.

"Dead? Dead? He's dead already?"

The composed Crusch was speechless; her political acumen was superb, and she rarely lost her composure.
