Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Are you sure Takatsuki Sen-sensei's autograph session will be held at Soubu High School?"

Inside an antique coffee shop in Tokyo.

Kasumigaoka Utaha braced her hands on the table, her face flushed.

He looked at Machida Wanko with excitement.

"Don't get so agitated." Seeing the disapproving looks from the other guests, Machida Wanko awkwardly pushed her back into her seat.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."

After apologizing, he sat back down.

Taking a sip of her coffee, Machida Wanko lowered her voice and said, "I'm an editor, after all. How could I not know anything about our top writers?"

According to my understanding, the autograph session with Ms. Takatsuki Sen has been scheduled. It will be held in the lobby on the first floor of the Sobu High School Library, with a limit of 300 people allowed in. Of course, anyone from outside can attend freely.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's fingertips tapped rapidly on the table before she suddenly grabbed Machida Wanko's wrist, her tone urgent.

"How do I snag tickets? Online reservations or queuing on-site? Three hundred people is too few; I have to get a spot!"

"Don't rush." ​​Machida Wanko patted the back of her hand helplessly and took out a volunteer armband from her bag.

"I got you a job maintaining order inside the venue through a friend. It gives you direct access to the backstage area. I'll send you the location later, and someone will come to pick you up."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze instantly fixed on the bright red volunteer armband, and her breathing quickened.

"Backstage?! So, that means I can get up close and personal with Ms. Takatsuki Sen? And even... have a private conversation with her?"

The flush on her face faded slightly, replaced by an undisguised excitement, her voice trembling at the end.

"Keep your voice down!" Machida Wanko quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Anyway, I've already registered you, but you have to follow the rules during work hours and can't interrupt the teacher to sign autographs."

"No problem! I'll go back and prepare right away!"

After saying that, he rushed out.

"Wait... Seriously, are you that excited?"

Machida Wanko sighed and then took out her phone.

She called her best friend.

"Yes, yes, I can't go, it's all because of work. I've already found someone to replace me, don't worry, they're absolutely reliable, OK~"

After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hmph, you think you can use me as free labor? No way!"

……

"It's an autograph session."

As Yoshimura Kozen wiped the cups, his perpetually squinty eyes quietly opened a little.

"Eto has found happiness, Yuna. Can you see? Letting Ranpo raise her was definitely the right choice."

He thought about it nostalgically.

To escape the pursuit of the V organization, he had no choice but to entrust Eto to Edogawa Ranpo.

In retrospect, it was indeed the right choice.

Go to school, work, and make friends just like a normal person.

Fortunately, his daughter is a half-ghoul and can eat normal human food.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare let his old friend adopt him.

It's fine as it is now.

They were far removed from the fighting and killing in the ghoul world.

Just live a happy, ordinary life.

……

The next morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha arrived at an apartment at the address given to her by Machida Wanko.

According to her, this is the address given to her by her best friend.

She will be working with these "volunteers" to maintain order.

"502……504……"

Upon arriving on the fifth floor, Kasumigaoka Utaha first knocked on the door of room 504, but no one answered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned and knocked on the door again with her fingertips.

"Is anyone there? I'm a volunteer recommended by Ms. Machida Wanko."

The door remained firmly shut.

Having no other choice, I knocked on the door of room 502 again.

This time, the drive was quite enjoyable.

The person who opened the door was a girl with long, straight black hair; she looked very cute.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha had to admit this.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm a volunteer for this autograph session."

"Yukikinoshita Yukino."

After responding with a comment, Yukino Yukinoshita calmly sized up the girl in front of her, who was dressed in casual clothes and had a stunning figure.

My gaze lingered on the armband on her arm.

"Welcome, would you like to come in and have a cup of black tea?"

"No need, when are we going to Takatsuki Sen-sensei's autograph session?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha impatiently shook her legs.

She just wants to go to the venue in advance to get a feel for it.

I'll also see if I can have a private chat with Professor Takatsuki Sen.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned.

The people in front of me don't seem to be there to maintain order; they seem to be there to chase after celebrities.

"We can do it now. Let's go call two people first."

"If it's someone who's been blocked by 504, I advise you not to waste your energy," Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

She has already seen it.

There was no one in room 504; they were probably just like her, wishing they could leave as soon as possible.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say much, she just sighed.

He led her to the door of room 504.

I knocked on the door.

"I have no reason to lie to you," Kasumigaoka Utaha said unhappily.

She really wanted to meet Professor Takatsuki Sen.

But there's no need to lie about this.

To everyone's surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita simply responded and continued knocking on the door.

Two minutes later, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression grew increasingly impatient.

I said…

Just as she was about to say something, the door opened, and Tomie, wearing a long dress, opened the door.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's impatience caught in her throat, her pupils contracting as she stared at the girl at the door.

A wine-red halter dress accentuated her snow-white skin, her long, dark hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and the beauty mark under her eye slightly upturned, exuding a nonchalant charm.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who has never cared much about "beauty," had to admit that the person in front of her had a face and figure that were almost impeccable.

"It's so noisy," Tomie said, annoyed.

His gaze swept over Yukino Yukinoshita.

He didn't even glance at the ornaments following behind him.

"The frequency of their knocking is more annoying than flies."

"Better than some procrastinator," Yukino Yukinoshita retorted calmly with a hint of sarcasm. "Also, it's time to get going."

"Departure? What departure? To find Mercury? I have a reservation at a fancy restaurant today, I don't have time to be a volunteer with you."

Completely non-exitable.

Tomie had no intention of becoming a volunteer at all.

To be precise, she never agreed to it in the first place.

This kind of thankless volunteer work is so incongruous with her identity.

"Whatever you want." Yukino Yukinoshita, who understood the awful nature of the woman in front of her, simply said.

"cut."

To get rid of this woman who was making her unhappy, Tomie went into a dark room.

Skillfully dodged the wine bottles on the ground.

Then he simply dragged Mercury, who was fast asleep on the bed, out of the room.

"what?"

Mercury: "o_O"

Then it was handed to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Okay, now, don't bother me!"

boom!

……

The three people behind the door looked at each other in bewilderment.

Well, in fact, only Mercury is unaware of what has happened.

"What's wrong?"

The door to room 503 opened, and Yuki-onna, Fuyuki, poked her head out with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hey, deep winter, still any wine?"

Upon seeing the Snow Woman in the depths of winter, Mercury instinctively rushed towards her.

He put his arm around her shoulder like a good buddy.

His breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

I must give a special shout-out here; the monster's sake is just delicious.

As winter deepened, the Snow Woman's nose twitched slightly, and she subconsciously frowned. She raised her hand to push away Mercury's arm that was draped over her shoulder, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"You're hungover again?"

She was still wearing plain-colored loungewear, her long hair loosely tied back, revealing her snow-white neck.

The chill emanating from him dissipated some of the alcohol odor in the air.

Seeing the dazed Mercury, she went back to her room, took out some hangover soup, and handed it to him.

Mercury finished his drink, rubbing his heavy head, his eyes still looking confused: "Um... what were we supposed to do again?"

He looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who appeared calm and as if she were already used to it.

And next to him was a fierce-looking man with long, straight black hair, looking impatient.

"It's an autograph session with Ms. Takatsuki Sen," Kasumigaoka Utaha said immediately, her tone carrying an unquestionable solemnity.

Her gaze lingered briefly on Yuki-onna Shin-fuyu, marveling at the other's appearance and demeanor.

Unexpectedly, she encountered three people here who were no less capable than her.

No, in fact, if we were to compare them, the woman in front of her, who exudes the air of a young married woman, surpasses her in every way.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Mercury and thought to himself.

Could this guy actually be the male protagonist of some harem anime?

Mercury blinked, his hangover-induced dazed brain finally slowly picking up the signal.

She looked down at her wrinkled pajamas, then at the bright red volunteer armband in Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, and then glanced at the burly girl at the door with her arms crossed and an impatient expression.

"It seems like that's true." Mercury scratched his head. It seemed like Keishi had indeed mentioned it yesterday.

Was I drunk at the time?

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..."

"Machida Wanko, you just wait! If I don't miss a deadline, I'll take your surname!"

Who are these people?!

She might as well just go to Soubu High School and wait there herself!
