Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

A deafening roar erupted as Minerva, the Witch of Wrath who had temporarily saved Hachiman Hikigaya, appeared, attacking the earth. Pointing angrily at Echidna, she declared, "I am enraged! I am burning with fury! I am bursting with rage! Echidna, she is right, she didn't lie, but she is hiding something! She hasn't told us everything!"

"To ensure the fairness of the contract, I have no choice but to step in and explain. Sigh~ Let me introduce myself: I am the Sloth Witch Sekhmet, sigh~"

"On the other side, lying on the ground, is a new witch who suddenly appeared. Her height, figure, and the maturity of her voice make her the oldest of all the witches, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She yawns after every sentence she speaks."

"That...that...what little Echidna didn't say, it's...the process." The voice trembled slightly; it was Camilla, the lustful witch, from earlier.

"Hachiman looked around and realized that all the witches he had seen before and those he hadn't seen before, including the proud witch Typhon and the gluttonous witch Daphne, had appeared at this tea party venue."

"The idea that only one witch can appear at a time is also a lie." Hachiman Hikigaya chuckled. More than his anger at being deceived, he felt that he was truly speechless about the Witch of Greed, Echidna.

"While the witches were about to explain for him, Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hand to signal them to be quiet."

"Although I don't know why you're helping me, I can see through this trap, so I'll explain myself. I don't intend to owe a group of witches a favor for no reason."

"Hachiman Hikigaya coldly surveyed Echidna, who smiled radiantly. Even in this unfavorable situation, she remained unperturbed. 'It will help me reach the most perfect ending, but your goal is to explore my potential and satisfy your curiosity. So… it will be the most perfect ending, but not the most perfect process, isn't that right, Echidna?'"

Echidna replied with a smile, "This is a necessary sacrifice. If it were you, you would understand. After all, you even sacrificed your own essence, didn't you?"

"Yes, so you're the worst of the worst."

"The seemingly irrelevant reply was followed by an uncontrollable laugh from Hachiman Hikigaya's throat. He started with a couple of mocking laughs, then the laughter became more and more continuous and louder until he was bent over, clutching his stomach."

"Ha, ha ha ha ha... Echidna, you, Echidna, Echidna!! You... really are the one I hate the most, the one I find most disgusting, the one I find most repulsive!!"

185. Wishful thinking in reality

"what?"

Garfield paused, then understood what Hachiman Hikigaya meant. He was about to hurl insults at Echidna for setting the trap, but before he could utter a word, Granny Shima slapped him again. "This—"

"Silence, Jiazi." A group of Ryuzu shook their heads slightly and pointed to the sky and earth.

It's one thing for others to insult Echidna, but Garfiel is currently in the Sanctuary, right in Echidna's grave. If he speaks disrespectfully, he could be in serious trouble.

Reminded, Jiafeier forcibly changed the content to get away with it: "This, this—this brilliant scheme is really clever, hahaha, but the general is also very clever, hahahaha."

Echidna noticed all of Garfield's disrespect, but she had no interest in dealing with the little kitten at the moment. Instead, she watched with great interest this future confrontation.

Typhon shouted from the side, "Dona Dona got rejected! Poor thing."

Poor?

Echidna smiled, finding it pleasing to the eye. "To know the future I don't know is extremely interesting!"

As for feelings of embarrassment or anger, she naturally didn't have any. Although she valued Hachiman Hikigaya quite a bit, the only people who could truly evoke her meager, almost non-existent emotions were Satella and Emilia.

"Hmm~ Should I get angry at a time like this? If I get angry, the 'fake' smell won't be so obvious, right? It seems I still need to work on my acting skills."

Echidna envisioned a fascinating future, a possibility that made her tremble with excitement just thinking about it: "From the moment we meet, I will take meticulous care of Hachiman Hikigaya, meet him before that bitch Emilia, tell him 'I love you' a hundred times a day, and treat him the way Emilia, Rem, Reinhard, Julius, and Otto did."

"What would his reaction be then?"

With a meaningful smile, Echidna squeezed her legs together, her face flushed with excitement. "Ah~ If he mistakes me, the biggest fake in the world, for the most worthy of protection, and if he's prejudiced from the start, then, faced with the advice of so many close friends he should have, will he believe me and protect me, will he stand guard against those bitches like Emilia across the river, or will he believe that the real ones have discovered the truth?"

"If it's the latter, how conflicted will he be when he abandons me after receiving so many favors from me? How different will he be from his former 'now' self? This is truly the biggest unknown ever! Ah, how interesting, so very interesting, it's just too interesting~"

Everyone knows how wicked Echidna is, but—

After seeing the future, he made such a plan, which is something no one could have imagined.

The witch... The person who holds this title, Echidna, the Witch of Greed, is capable of going to the lowest depths to satisfy her curiosity, something no one can truly comprehend!

Without a trace of anger or embarrassment, and still smiling, Echidna looked at Hachiman Hikigaya. "If you choose me, you can at least achieve a perfect ending, right? Without me, will you collapse? Hmm, that's a possibility worth discussing."

"I refuse to sign a contract with you, Echidna."

"Oh, you're so stubborn." Echidna smiled and pursed her lips. "I was worried that someone else would take a liking to you, that someone else would snatch you away. Turns out, the biggest obstacle to getting you is myself? This is really unexpected. I really didn't expect it. But, I like you more and more, I love you more and more, Hachiman Hikigaya. Although quite a bit of time has passed, I really should have my eyes gouged out for saying you were boring before."

"Your love makes me nauseous."

Seeing the unyielding Hachiman Hikigaya, Echidna's face suddenly darkened, but that darkness wasn't directed at him. Echidna turned her head to look in another direction, her voice laced with sarcasm, "Oh... how much do you loathe, how much do you feel disgusted, how much do you want to vomit? Hmm, let me think, for example—does her love make you want to vomit?"

"At the same time, all the other witches turned their gazes in that direction, which also attracted Hachiman Hikigaya's attention, and then he was astonished to discover it."

"A new visitor appeared in that direction."

"Her figure and height are similar to the Sloth Witch, and she looks like a mature woman in her twenties. Her clothes are like a wedding dress, exuding an endless and rich aura. With every step she takes, she murmurs 'I love you' countless times."

"The Witch of Jealousy... Satella—"

"Having traversed multiple realms, you've finally arrived at the City of Dreams." Echidna greeted them coldly, her emotional fluctuations clearly visible, her tone indifferent.

"Apart from Echidna and Mehset, the other witches all seemed very interested in Satella's arrival."

"Hachiman Hikigaya's index finger trembled involuntarily. He moved his lips, and then... he couldn't say anything. He... didn't know. He didn't know how to treat Satella."

"If I had to explain why... it's because—"

"Satella's appearance: long silver hair, dark purple eyes, flawless and exquisite features, fair skin, that face, because of all the same elements, no... rather than because of these, it's more accurate to say that she naturally looks a lot like Emilia. Or rather, Emilia looks a lot like her."

"Fortunately, they're not completely identical yet, so there's no mistake. Even so, Hachiman Hikigaya is really shocked."

"This...this isn't right, is it? How could this be..."

The person who was most shocked was Emilia.

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had survived the ordeal and hadn't fallen into Echidna's trap was something to be able to breathe a small sigh of relief about, but then she was stunned.

Emilia was starting to suspect that her mother might actually be Satella, even though both Jus and Fortuna had said her mother was dead... but... this appearance...

“Parker…”

Faced with his daughter's tearful pleas for help, Parker sighed helplessly, "I don't know what your relationship is... but you two are definitely not mother and daughter, that's for sure!"

Emilia didn't know whether to be happy or sigh... However, Satella also loved Hachiman Hikigaya, and if Satella weren't her mother, at least, she felt mostly relieved.

But soon, worry overwhelmed everything.

"Hachiman... what should we do..."

186. Satella's Love, Hachiman Hikigaya's Response (Part 1)

"This is really completely unexpected, and I have no idea how to deal with it."

Kei Shirogane rubbed his forehead. “We’re only at the beginning… Even the Archbishops of Sin are still acting mysteriously, and the witches have already appeared en masse. Among them are Satella, the mastermind behind Hachiman’s time travel, and Echidna, the culprit who caused him so much suffering.”

"Under normal circumstances, such a final, powerful figure should appear much later in the future, and then settle the scores."

"Uh, wait a minute—"

While muttering to himself, Bai Yingui suddenly had a bright idea. "The mastermind and the culprit are all gathered here. In other words, if we ask them all the questions here and force them to stop and stop their conspiracy, everyone will be happy and we can live peacefully from now on!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her brother looking at her with an expression as if she were mentally challenged.

Miyuki Shirogane, who serves as the student council president for a group of children of capitalists and officials, is far less naive than his sister. He shook his head and said, "If it were that easy, Hikigaya-kun would certainly want it to be that simple too, but Kei, you should think about it carefully."

"That's what Hachiman is hoping for, but will Echidna and Satella cooperate? — In reality, there are plenty of wars on our planet. The leaders of those Middle Eastern countries can talk to and meet with the president of the largest capitalist country, but it's all in vain."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

"What do you love about me? What part of me do you love? Why do you love me? Since you keep saying you love me, can you help me solve the problems in the Sanctuary and the mansion? Can you help me kill Echidna? Can you help me rescue Rem and restore Crusch's memories? —Tsk."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

"Hachiman gritted his teeth... Sure enough, Satella was still as willful as ever, she didn't care about her own wishes at all... But that overwhelming love, like a raging storm, was about to completely overwhelm him, it was not fake at all."

"That love, which was as omnipresent as the air, even made Hachiman Hikigaya realize a terrifying fact: Satella's love for him seemed to be even deeper than his love for Rem and Emilia."

"What a heartless man! He actually encouraged someone to kill me right in front of me."

"Absolutely! No! Someone! Is hurt!! I am absolutely outraged! I will not allow this to happen again!! I am furious!!"

"Um, little Satella is very important, but... but you can't kill little Echidna, that's forbidden."

"I was just kidding." Upon receiving everyone's feedback to stop him, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been looking serious just moments before, immediately changed his tune. Even though everyone knew he wasn't joking at all, in this world, playing dumb is a way to survive.

Satella moved slowly, approaching Hachiman Hikigaya step by step. Before she reached him, Hachiman gazed at the other witches, utterly bewildered: "The history books of this world record that you were all killed by Satella, so why are you all so friendly to her?"

Camilla raised her hand, trembling, and answered him, "Th-that, 'Jealousy' and Little Satella, no, they're not the same person...though, to put it bluntly, they're like two personalities of the same person."

"But that doesn't stop Satella from being the mastermind behind your suffering." Echidna laughed gleefully, her eyes fixed intently on Hachiman Hikigaya, scrutinizing every detail of his expression. "Come on, let me see how you'll treat her."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

"Satella, her gaze slightly dazed, approached Hachiman Hikigaya. Something seemed off about her; she wasn't fully conscious. It seemed that half of her was driven by instinct, and the other half by her true self."

"However, whether by instinct or by self, she consistently loves Hachiman Hikigaya."

Hachiman Hikigaya took a half step back. "That same line again... that's all I ever say... If you loved me, why did you kill me before?!"

"He was questioning Satella, but his voice didn't sound like he was scolding her at all."

Satella paused, and as she murmured, tiny tears welled in her eyes, "Don't be sad, don't grieve, don't be in pain, don't cry, don't hurt yourself, don't sacrifice yourself, don't belittle yourself..."

"So she really does love Hachiman Hikigaya?"

Mitaka Jin was dumbfounded. The bewildered people of Sakura-sou all focused their attention on him, waiting for his explanation.

Mitaka Jin said in a very distressed tone, "She didn't want Hachiman Hikigaya to be hurt, in pain, sad, or even forced to break his own bottom line, so she got angry. She was furious with Emilia, Roswaal, Erza, and the others who had caused Hachiman Hikigaya to fall to this state, so she appeared and killed everyone."

Kanda Sorata exclaimed in confusion, "Then why did you kill Hachiman as well?"

"Because it was both killing and not killing. It was letting him live with her forever, it was her expression of love."

Mitaka Jin shrugged and said, "You've all seen how twisted the witch's values ​​are, haven't you? You've been watching for so long, you know it all too well."

"Then why didn't she save Emilia?" Aoyama Nanami frowned.

“Why… Ha.” Mitaka Jin shook his head and sighed, “Because a woman in love only has eyes for the person she loves. As for others, what do they care? Not to mention that Emilia and Rem are both Satella’s rivals in love. It’s good enough that she hasn’t completely eliminated them.”

Having experienced the love confessions of hundreds of women, Mitaka Jin arrived at the most accurate answer based on his experience.

"With his meticulous thinking, Hachiman Hikigaya, who employed both sensibility and rationality, arrived at the most correct answer based on his wisdom."

“You…” he resisted, resisting Satella’s approach, “Someone like you, with your way of thinking, your actions… how could I possibly fall in love with someone like you, Satella!”

"Don't hurt yourself, don't value others more than yourself, don't see yourself as a sinner, protect yourself, love yourself, respect yourself, and never forget that you are the most important person, I love you..."
