Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"It's so warm, just like my mother's embrace..."

In a pristine white space, Komachi Hikigaya slowly opened her eyes.

"Where am I...?" Komachi Hikigaya wondered.

Did she remember that she was searching for the missing Hikaru Ido with other people?

How did I end up here?

and……

Looking at the figure squatting on the ground in the center of the pristine white space, Komachi Hikigaya subconsciously walked over.

You look like you're in pain.

She looked worriedly at the figure crouching on the ground, its body still trembling and even melting away.

Upon hearing Komachi Hikigaya's words, the figure crouching on the ground raised its head.

In an instant, Komachi stopped abruptly, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

It was a face that looked exactly like hers.

On that face, which was exactly the same as his own, translucent spots of light flowed down, and the melting arm turned into tiny sparkles of firefly light.

The body was dissipating at a visible speed, as if it would completely merge into this pure white space in the next second.

Hikigaya Komachi paused, her heart suddenly tightening.

Scenes from my journey into the mountains resurfaced in my memory like images from a film.

I went into the mountains with the villagers... and unexpectedly found Jitang Guang... During the process of moving the items, I accidentally fell down the hillside...

Then... then...

Did you save me?

Recalling what she saw as she was about to die, Komachi Hikigaya suppressed the fear in her heart.

"what……"

"Hikigaya Komachi" responded softly.

Hearing that hollow tone, Komachi Hikigaya felt a chill run down her spine.

The "self" before her eyes churned with colors she had never seen before, like an emptiness stripped away by the world.

"Are you going to die?" Komachi Hikigaya tentatively took half a step forward and grasped its paw.

In an instant, its memories flashed before Komachi Hikigaya's eyes like a movie.

It's less a memory and more a record.

Emerging from another world, being regarded as a god, then wandering aimlessly in these mountains, and finally encountering oneself.

Hikigaya Komachi was stunned, and it took her a while to recover.

Seeing that nearly half of Unucci had dissipated, he immediately hugged it.

"Thank you, and... don't die!"

……

"Huh?"

Inside the clinic, Mercury had already covered Hikigaya Komachi's entire body with salt.

He could clearly feel the sensation of "exorcism," and even seemed to have a sudden inspiration, able to roughly sense when the exorcism would be completed.

This feeling is hard to describe, like when you're shooting something with a toy gun and you can feel whether you've hit it or not.

Even though there's absolutely no physical contact between us, it's as if we've resonated with each other on the other side.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Mercury's surprised expression, Hachiman Hikigaya asked nervously.

Yukino Yukinoshita did the same, silently taking a step closer.

Although her conventional wisdom had been completely overturned in this short period of time, her calmness and restraint remained ingrained in her bones.

"Who knows?" Mercury shook his head decisively.

He genuinely didn't know what had happened; he just felt that the "exorcism ritual" was no longer effective.

The contents inside seemed to be protected by a shell.

After thinking for a moment, Mercury casually waved his hand, and the salt covering Komachi Hachiman instantly separated and scattered on the ground.

Mercury also "pulled" out the salt that had entered his mouth and organs.

Just after all the salt left Komachi Hikigaya's body, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Komachi!"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been watching intently, rushed to his sister's side almost immediately upon seeing this scene, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion.

He held her hand tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood still, her breath slightly catching in her throat, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she gazed at the scene.

"Brother..." Komachi Hikigaya spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse.

She blinked, her gaze sweeping over her brother's anxious face, then turning to Yukino Yukinoshita, and finally settling on Mercury.

"I saw my brother at first glance, 100 points!"

"Ugh..." Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly pulled her into his arms, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." he repeated over and over, as if he were saying it to her, or perhaps to himself.

He failed to protect his sister, leaving her in a state of uncertainty about her fate.

Fortunately, all of this nightmare has ended.

My sister returned unharmed.

She's really my sister!

Mercury stepped forward, interrupting the two, "Do you remember what happened?"

The two siblings, who were enjoying their tender moment, looked over at the same time, as if something had ruined the sad atmosphere.

"I remember everything." Komachi Hikigaya nodded, her eyes turning to her brother.

Seeing her brother nod, she then recounted the series of events that had occurred.

……

After hearing about Komachi Hikigaya's ordeal, the room fell silent.

Apart from the doctor lying on the ground, the three conscious individuals all looked at her with complicated expressions.

"Idiot," Mercury muttered, arms crossed.

Even with the filter of a storyline, he is indifferent to a monster.

However, the "make a wish" mechanism is worth taking advantage of.

Anyway, now that both siblings owe me a life, I need to think carefully about how to use it.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement, this time agreeing with Mercury's opinion.

To let a monster live inside your body is absolutely insane.

Do you really think you're a Jinchūriki?

Hachiman Hikigaya opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only holding his sister's hand tightly.

"Well, what can I do? It saved Komachi." Komachi looked at the mirror in the clinic. The person in the mirror seemed to be two different people, like two folded phantoms.

"It pulled me back from the brink of death, and in exchange... I shared my memories, my 'location,' with it, making it a part of me."
