Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Were those two siblings or a couple?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was following behind the two to pay the bill, looked at the two who had already walked away with a puzzled expression.

Were those two just role-playing?

What about alluring, deadly, or alcoholic drinks?

It does sound a bit like a line from a storybook.

……

"Are those two students?"

Yukino Yukinoshita followed behind the two of them, puzzled.

Don't get me wrong, she's not a stalker.

It just so happens that we were going the same way as them.

Moreover, the apartments are all located in the same area.

Ye Ye Mu Apartment has a large number of students because it is very close to the school.

Either families bring their students to stay.

Judging from their ages, it's easy to deduce whether they are students.

However, I already remember most of the students on the first-year student roster, and it seems that there is no information about these two people.

"Was it overlooked?"

……

"That person behind us has been following us the whole time."

Tomie, who was walking in front, turned her head slightly and glanced at the person behind her.

"Yes, it started right at the convenience store entrance." Mercury looked straight ahead, his tone calm, though his eyes occasionally glanced at the liquor in the bag.

Tomie's lips curled into a playful smile. "Say hello?"

"Be honest, maybe they're just going that way."

"I know, I know, you're so boring." Tomie waved her hand impatiently.

"But speaking of which, that girl looks kind of cute, don't you have any thoughts about her?"

"Thoughts?" Mercury glanced at her indifferently. "Drug or stalking?"

"Wow, you really want to?" Tomie's eyes widened dramatically, as if she were looking at a scumbag.

"Enough nonsense," Mercury said speechlessly. "Are you jealous of her?"

"Me? I'm jealous of her? What a joke! I'm so beautiful, how could I possibly be jealous of that flat-chested girl?" Tomie shouted loudly.

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been following behind, heard it.

"Those two are far too self-centered."

Yukino Yukinoshita thought silently, forcibly suppressing the urge to speak.

Although she is somewhat "straightforward," she wouldn't argue with unrelated people.

Moreover, she didn't say this to her face.

After grumbling to himself, he maintained his aloof demeanor on the surface.

……

On the other side, Tomie smacked her lips in annoyance when she saw that the cute girl behind her was ignoring her.

She continued, "Don't you think the way that girl looked at us...like she was looking at a couple?"

"A couple?"

Mercury twitched the corner of his mouth, his tone subtle.

"If you really want to act, I don't mind, but you have to pay me."

"Money? Do you think I'm an ATM?"

Tomie gave a soft hum, her fingertips twirling around the ends of her hair.

He realized that the guy in front of him was completely insatiable.

They are even more greedy than themselves.

And they don't seem to be that enthusiastic about pretty girls.

Don't misunderstand, she wasn't talking about the flat-chested girl later.

but yourself.

The guy behind me isn't even worthy of being compared to me.

Mercury, unfazed by the mockery, replied, "You name your price, I'll offer one; it's the law of the market. But given your personality, you probably just want to get something for free."

"Me? Freeloading off you? Hahahaha, are you kidding me?"

Tomie covered her mouth with her small hand and said arrogantly, "I'm very expensive. An ordinary person couldn't afford me even in three lifetimes."

"Well, especially compensation for emotional distress," Mercury replied casually.

"You!" Tomie made a move to hit him, but Mercury dodged to the side and stepped lightly into the apartment building lobby.

……

Yukino Yukinoshita stood not far away, listening to the conversation between the two, her brows slightly furrowed.

She considered herself to have clear logic, but the interaction between the man and woman was like a tangled mess of threads.

It seems frivolous and playful, yet it reveals a tacit understanding that others cannot penetrate.

"...Brother and sister?" she murmured to herself, rejecting her initial guess.

Their tone was too casual and unrestrained. Although they were a couple, they lacked natural intimacy and seemed more like... playing some kind of role.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Mercury suddenly raised his hand to block them, his gaze piercing through the corridor and landing directly on Yukino.

"Want to come up?"

Yukino paused, then stepped forward, saying calmly, "It was just on my way."

"Oh," Mercury nodded, neither confirming nor denying, "that's quite... a coincidence."

Tomie leaned against the corner of the elevator, smiling as she sized up Yukino: "Hey, you've been watching us the whole time, aren't you? You're not a stalker, are you~"

"Please don't label people so easily," Yukino replied coldly. "I'm just being wary of people who behave abnormally."

She just doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of trouble.

Conversely, when faced with someone who dares to mock you to your face.

Yukino Yukinoshita will absolutely not hold back when she bites.

Tomie raised an eyebrow and said in an unfriendly tone, "Abnormal? Saying a word is a crime? Flat-chested stalker?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes instantly sharpened.

"First of all, I am not a stalker. If you have failed your foreign language exam, I suggest you find a teacher to retake it. Secondly, normal people would not loudly discuss the allure and death of alcohol in a convenience store, nor would they talk about 'drug administration' and 'stalking' in that tone."

The air paused slightly.

Mercury chuckled, breaking the silence: "I didn't expect you to have such good hearing, Tomie. Aren't you going to yell back, even though it's your fault?"

He looked at Tomie expectantly.

I also hope the two of them will fight.

This is going to be a lot of fun.

"Huh? You're actually taking the side of outsiders?" Tomie glared, still grasping the key point.

"Because she's right, we are indeed not quite 'normal'."

He turned to Yukino, his gaze suddenly becoming calm: "Not bad observation skills."

Yukino's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained indifferent: "You flatter me."

The elevator dinged as it arrived at its floor.

The corridor was dimly lit, and the three walked side by side, their footsteps echoing in the empty passage.

Surprisingly, Yukino Yukinoshita also lives on the 5th floor.

Perhaps this was a deliberate arrangement by Hiratsuka Shizuka?

……

"We are siblings," Mercury suddenly said, his tone calm.

"They're siblings," Tomie retorted instantly.

He has already been removed from the relationship of strangers.

The corridor lights cast a pale gold glow on Tomie's hair. She turned to face Yukino, her lips still bearing that familiar, almost defiant smile.

"Siblings." She repeated it, her tone firm, as if correcting an undeniable fact.

Mercury didn't argue anymore, but simply reached out and opened the door to room 504.

"That concludes this year's companions, Yukino Yukinoshita."

Yukino paused in her steps.

She has never revealed her name.

How did this man know?

Have you seen yourself before?

Before Yukino could even ask a question, Mercury closed the door, leaving behind only a light, casual remark: "Goodnight, Yukino-san. See you at the start of the school year."
