Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

Betty could feel her blood boiling. "You...you must be 'that person'...right! You're the one who's coming to take Betty away!!"

Betty's heart, which had been silent for many years and was almost on the verge of spiritual death—

“If, if you are ‘that person,’ then Betty… then Betty… it’s definitely worth it!”

Hachiman Hikigaya... Now, Betty knows him all too well, and she likes him all too much!

Roswaal's mansion, Ram's anger, Betty's joy, and Roswaal's jealousy were just as intense as their emotions.

"You—you—Hachiman Hikigaya!!!"

Moved to tears by witnessing his teacher's living soul, Roswaal felt an itch all over his body—he was so jealous! How jealous he was! Jealous that Hachiman Hikigaya could speak face-to-face with his teacher like that! Jealous that Hachiman Hikigaya was so highly regarded by his teacher!

This jealousy intensified after seeing Hachiman Hikigaya unaware of his good fortune.

"..."

On the main street of the capital, Parker was not as excited as Betty or Roswaal for seeing the Creator. The person who could excite him the most was now his own daughter, his own Leia.

In order to get his daughter to pay more attention to love, it revealed another reason that it had discovered for Hachiman Hikigaya's refusal to ask Echidna questions.

“Lia… that kid gave up the possibility of saving Rem, all for your sake.”

Emilia looked confused. "Huh?"

"Given his feelings for that little maid Rem, if he finds a way, he can probably abandon everything else and focus all his energy on reviving her immediately."

Parker wasn't talking nonsense; he was telling the truth: "But he knows you need him very, very much right now... In order not to let you down, he chose to keep the method of reviving Rem a secret, so that he could focus on helping you first."

There must be a reason for this, but it's hard to say what percentage it accounts for... Parker wouldn't tell his daughter that.

"Huh...?!"

Emilia sobbed, thrown into a state of extreme panic.

But what touched her most wasn't her gratitude towards Hachiman Hikigaya, but rather her drooping head, overwhelmed with shame: "Because of me, Rem..."

"?"

Parker was dumbfounded. She suddenly realized that while her statement might increase her daughter's favor towards Hachiman Hikigaya, it was actually a double-edged sword!

"Ah... I'm such an idiot! Leah! Leah! I was lying! I was lying!"

Echidna's long, slender, white fingers gently caressed Hachiman Hikigaya's chest. She licked her lips, looking particularly satisfied with this man. "So, you've made a promise to meet me again?"

"...That's possible."

"Hachiman Hikigaya has absolutely no romantic or ambiguous feelings; he'd rather stay away than be intimate with her. Unfortunately, the Witch of Greed is just too powerful. He didn't intend to avoid her. His previous words were a necessary showdown. Now, this kind of thing... if avoiding her makes Echidna refuse to let him leave, that would be troublesome."

"Echidna, a great beauty in every way," she said to Hachiman Hikigaya meaningfully, "perhaps you can try again, but this time, I'll give you the qualification for the trial."

"A trial?"

“You’ll find out then,” Echidna concluded. “However, you can’t tell anyone about what’s happening here, so…”

"Once she finished granting him the so-called trial qualification and opened the passage to leave, Hachiman Hikigaya, suppressing his disgust, quickly left without looking back."

"Although she is a great beauty in every way... it doesn't stop him from having a deep-seated aversion to Echidna."

In reality, in the Sanctuary, Echidna in her tomb, along with several other witches, looked at the light screen. "Hmm, so this is how our first meeting will be."

"However, although I still care about him, I'm now more curious about what this screen that projects the future is, whose ability it is, where it came from, what its essence is, and what its purpose is—ah, I'm so curious! So very curious!!"

Unaware of how happy and excited his teacher was, Roswaal's eyes widened in fury as he banged his head on the ground.

"Why, why, why, teacher! Teacher! Hachiman Hikigaya, you can't leave, you can't leave!!"

That's all... The future is being played from Hachiman Hikigaya's perspective, and he can't see his teacher anymore!

I am devastated!

However, future broadcasts will not shift their focus due to his personal grief.

"Why...am I here?"

"Hachiman Hikigaya, his soul returning to his body, was momentarily bewildered, then answered himself, 'That's right, I am... Emilia, Emilia!'"

"He ran straight along the building's passageway until he finally saw the sunlight and leaped out of the stone building."

"Amnesia?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow. "Heh, [Echidna, the Witch of Greed]..."

"Gah-"

Shirogane Miyuki and Shirogane Kei exchanged bewildered glances. They had just been praising Echidna, but the memory erasure had completely contradicted them.

Crusch sneered. From the very beginning, she, like Hachiman Hikigaya, had been extremely wary of Echidna, living in this world. "A witch is indeed a witch! Hmm, as expected of Lord Hachiman, I didn't fall into her trap. Great!"

"In the sunlight, there was Otto, the earth dragon, and a blond man with shark teeth and a muscular, powerful physique."

"Hey...you just swagger in like that."

"Jiafeier Tingjieer!"

105. Garfield's fist won't land on him.

"Jiafeier Tingjieer!"

"Hachiman Hikigaya's voice stopped the powerful fist that was about to strike his cheek in front of him. The wind from the punch ruffled his hair. The force of the punch showed Garfield's volatile temper."

"His smile reveals shark teeth. The spirited Jiafeier looks at him suspiciously: 'Hmph, you've heard of my name and still dare to swagger in like this? Want to experience the power of my Shield of the Sanctuary?'"

"With the war not yet completely over, and before there's time to explain anything further," Hachiman Hikigaya quickened his pace, confident that saying this would stop Garfield: "Frandelica, I know her."

"Tsk..."

"Upon hearing the name, Garfield spat in displeasure, but he withdrew his fist."

“‘Be careful of Garfield,’ that was the only warning Francesca gave before we set off.

"If Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't had enough of the Riddler and hadn't threatened Frederica to obtain information about the Sanctuary and protect Emilia, she might not have revealed that she and Garfiel were siblings."

"My name is Hachiman Hikigaya, the chief knight of Emilia, a candidate for monarch of Nikka."

"Having temporarily quelled Garfiel's impulse to attack, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had time to state his name and status, couldn't help but frown when he saw that Garfiel still showed him little respect."

"Although it was expected, it is still very upsetting to see that the people in the Sanctuary truly respect Roswaal and have no respect for Emilia whatsoever."

Garfield, with his nonchalant demeanor, grinned. He showed no respect for Emilia whatsoever, but rather a palpable mix of joy and displeasure. "Emilia… oh, that princess?"

""Mr. Hachiman! ""

"Trembling with fear, Otto drove the dragon chariot over. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hachiman Hikigaya deal with the irritable blond man in just a few words."

"Without bothering to comfort him, Hachiman Hikigaya leaped into the carriage. Inside, Emilia, who had been lying face down, was unharmed and slowly woke up."

Emilia felt a little dizzy. She rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up, and looked up to see her first knight: "Hmm... Hachiman?"

"Yes, I'm here, I'm here, Emilia!" Hachiman Hikigaya didn't treat Emilia the way he had stroked Rem. He stopped and put his arm around the girl's shoulders, but his concern was no less. "Are you alright? Have you suffered any emotional trauma? Are there any hidden injuries?"

"Fearing that Emilia might have some kind of problem like Rem, Hachiman Hikigaya almost wanted to give her a full medical check-up immediately. This concern, along with his anxious tone, became a warm current flowing through the silver-haired girl's heart."

Emilia paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile. "Yes, I'm fine, it's okay!"

"Hey! Stop dawdling! Since you're Roswaal's men, get moving! I'm not in the mood to spend the night here with you!"

"The cozy scene was ruined by the loud and rude Jiafeier, who was shouting from outside."

"That stupid little brother!"

Frederica ground her shark teeth, gritting her teeth. Once Lady Emilia came to liberate the Sanctuary, she would definitely give her stupid younger brother a good beating when they met again after so long!

As for the possibility of not being able to liberate the Sanctuary, that was never going to happen in the first place. That's Hachiman Hikigaya! With him there, Lady Emilia can definitely do it!

"It was such a rare and precious moment to see Lord Hachiman and Lady Emilia being so affectionate!"

"Hey, am I an idiot?!"

In the Sanctuary, Garfield was dumbfounded. He didn't care at all which woman Hachiman Hikigaya married, as long as it wasn't Moringa, but—

"Isn't this guy super handsome?!"

Is there a more handsome man than one who has the courage to face death?

Compared to the future Garfiel, who was a complete stranger when he first met Hachiman Hikigaya, the current Garfiel is absolutely smitten with this incredibly handsome man!

"Trying that kind of attitude towards the man I, Jiafeier, like, the future Jiafeier, you idiot! What, are you looking for trouble? Damn it! — Ouch, that hurts!"

Grandma Sima slapped Jiafei, whom she treated like her grandson, saying, "Little Jiafei, you idiot! It's not right to disturb a couple who are deeply in love!"

“I understand, Grandma,” Jiafei patted her chest confidently and said crisply, “Don’t worry, even I, in the future, would definitely fall for that kind of man in no time!”

"That's not necessarily true," Grandma Sima sighed worriedly.

If he were merely Hachiman Hikigaya, he could easily have won Garfiel over with his personal charm. However, he is a "strange man carrying the scent of a witch."

Julius nodded slightly: "A demi-human village? I didn't expect Roswaal Border Count to have such a secret base hidden there. This Garfiel has quite the presence."

Anastasia exclaimed in surprise, "What? Aren't you outraged that your best friend Hachiman was treated like this by Garfiel?"

"You jest, Lady Anastasia. Since Garfiel has not yet sworn allegiance to a monarch, he will surely be won over by my dear friend in the future. In that case, I'm sure Hachiman-kun won't mind this small act of disrespect."

"—"

Julius's answer only deepened Anastasia's already troubled expression.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! If this happens, won't Hachiman Hikigaya be able to rally the entire Emilia camp all by himself? This is a terrible situation!"

Most importantly, my own foolish knight Julius has been betrayed by that guy! Damn it!

"If this keeps up, I'm going to give up thinking!"

As for the Witch of Greed, although she seems to be alright with Hachiman Hikigaya, due to the fear of witches over the past four hundred years, no one in this world is currently interested in thinking about her.

What exactly is Echidna, the Witch of Greed, planning? What kind of person is she? Presumably, in the future, the unparalleled Hachiman Hikigaya will reveal her true nature.

Before that, the most important thing is to be concerned about whether this man will suffer any serious injuries in his confrontation with Roswaal.

"Roswaal, if he dares to lay a hand on my senior, I'll make a Roswaal scarecrow and prick him with needles every day until he dies!"
