Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Let's go back 10 minutes.

Hachiman Hikigaya had originally planned to leave an hour earlier.

But because I was frightened last night, I'm going to be late.

They sped off towards the school at full speed.

Their anticipation for a new life never ceased.

"Ah~ a new life, this time I absolutely can't be all alone, goodbye to that awkward past..."

"Sabre!"

"Huh?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was reminiscing about his youth, stared blankly at the puppy running past him.

A cute-looking girl followed behind.

"Walking your dog to school? What kind of logic is that?"

"Isn't something about to happen next, and then the hero arrives?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, riding his bicycle, thought to himself, then chuckled self-deprecatingly.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world.

This isn't an anime.

Moreover, I'm not the main character myself.

He had just finished thinking when the roar of an engine came from the street corner.

A black, extended sedan sped along the cherry blossom path.

It was described as speeding, but it was really just normal driving.

And the little dog named "Sabre" was wagging its tail in the middle of the road.

He could even see the driver's panicked expression in the driver's seat, and the girl's suddenly tense profile in the back seat.

And... that guy in the passenger seat who's always watching the drama unfold?

"Hey! Watch out!"

Realizing that something had really happened, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't hesitate and moved his body first.

He grabbed the puppy half a second before the car hit it, and then instinctively used his right hand to shield himself.

I could already picture myself covered in blood and gore.

They even started using a revolving camera.

"Damn it, what am I doing!"

"Would you really risk your life for a dog? That's incredibly foolish!"

"I'm sure people will laugh at me."

Goodbye, sister; goodbye, world.

The screeching sound of the brakes almost shattered my eardrums.

After waiting for a long time, Hachiman Hikigaya did not feel any pain.

He opened his eyes in confusion.

He froze on the spot, staring ahead in horror!

His hands had somehow become muscular, covered by something resembling a steel exoskeleton.

There was also a human-like eye growing in the center of the back of the hand.

The hood of the car in front was dented and billowing white smoke.

Hachiman Hikigaya, holding the trembling puppy, looked up in terror, his eyes meeting the driver's uneasy gaze.

Just as he was at a loss, the mutated right hand slowly faded away with each breath.

Hachiman Hikigaya: "...What is this...?"

He stood there, stunned, staring at his right hand.

Did he just stand against an oncoming car with his bare body?

Are you alright?

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to go home to calm down, a panting voice came from behind him.

The girl who had been chasing the dog ran over and quickly thanked him when she saw the puppy in his arms.

"Thank you! Sabre is so naughty..."

As she spoke, the girl's voice grew softer and softer, her gaze falling on his right hand, which had returned to normal, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Hachiman Hikigaya instinctively hid his hands behind his back, his throat dry: "N-nothing... It's good that the dog is alright."

"No, no..." Yui Yuigahama bit her lip, looking at him with a complicated expression. "I saw it... you just... blocked the car with your hand."

"No, you're mistaken. I was just adjusting the front of the car." Hachiman Hikigaya's voice tightened, and he subconsciously took a half step back, hiding his arm even deeper.

Yui Yuigahama didn't answer, but slowly squatted down and gently took Sabre from his arms.

The puppy seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and stopped struggling, only rubbing its wet nose against her palm.

……

"You managed to dent the hood just by touching it? Wow, bro, you're pretty awesome."

Mercury was the first to get out of the car, and casually patted him on the shoulder.

His eyes were like those of someone looking at a new toy.

Immediately afterwards, Hiratsuka Shizuya got out of the car, looked at him in disbelief, and began to examine the car body.

The front of the car was dented, but the pedestrians were unharmed.

Is this still the world she knows?

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Mercury whistled, tilted his head to look at Hachiman Hikigaya, and said meaningfully with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Your hand was really interesting just now, it was like it came to life."

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't say anything, but subconsciously clenched his right hand, which had returned to normal.

It was as if that moment just now was an illusion.

But he clearly remembered the eye on the back of his hand.

Cold and clear-headed, as if he were examining himself.

At that moment, the back door was pushed open.

Two beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm, walked down.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the dented hood, then looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, her brows furrowing slightly.

"How did you do that? A robotic arm? An exoskeleton?"

No, even the impact of a robotic arm is enough to send you flying.

Or is it...?

For some unknown reason, Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously took a step back, her eyes becoming wary.

She remembered the information about ghouls.

They are said to have physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.

And the guy in front of us just happens to fit the situation.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became strange.

"Hey, what are you two whispering about? Are you coming or not? And you, kid, can you stop blocking the way like a maggot?"

Tomie, standing to the side, immediately began to mock him impatiently.

She doesn't care whose car or whose dog got hit.

I still need to catch up on my beauty sleep in the classroom.

I don't want to waste my time here.

"Hey, Tomie, there might be a ghoul standing right in front of us. Be careful he doesn't eat you."

Mercury didn't have so many concerns; he said what he wanted to say.

I'll also scare her a little.

He also knew very well that the Hachiman Hikigaya in front of him was not a ghoul at all.

Even if a slice-of-life anime incorporates many elements, it's impossible to completely change the protagonist's species.

Not to mention, he also clearly saw the moment when Hachiman Hikigaya's right hand deformed.

Coincidentally, Mercury was very familiar with that thing in his previous life.

There's also the part about stopping the car.

This scene is considered a famous moment from another anime about food.

And the name of that anime is... Parasyte!
