Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Let's go back to the present.

Inside room 504 of Ye Ye Mu Apartment.

The sudden announcement of the existence of parasites has caused chaos on the streets, with people scrambling to buy supplies everywhere.

Many others took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and create disorder for their own benefit.

The guards worked hard to maintain order.

But as if by prior agreement, everyone took the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction with the government.

What a load of rubbish! How could I possibly be so unlucky as to encounter a parasite?

This despicable government is exploiting us every single day!

Why not take this opportunity to make up for the losses?

Some people think this way.

However, this has nothing to do with Mercury.

He was at the dinner table, drinking with Tomie.

Red wine and white wine clinked glasses.

"Cool!"

Since yesterday, the smile on Mercury's face has never left.

"Tomie, you have no idea what happened yesterday! Yoshimura Eto really gave me a big surprise!"

The story was disrupted, and the future development was as confusing as a whirlpool.

This has put him in a state of high excitement.

swirl?

I have a feeling that a dangerous adjective has been mixed in.

Tomie didn't understand his feelings, nor did she want to.

You'd be better off buying a few more designer handbags instead of wasting your time on that.

"Oh, by the way, I spent all the money in your room," Tomie said casually.

They ate the high-quality ingredients they had brought back in small bites.

"It's nothing, just six million... Wait, what did you say?"

Mercury, who had been completely unconcerned just moments before, suddenly realized what was happening, looked at her with hostility, and his expression instantly turned serious.

Leaning forward, his previously excited eyes instantly twisted into a knot, and even the smile on his lips froze into a gritted-teeth arc.

"Tomie, say that again?"

Tomie didn't even look up, slowly picking up a piece of truffle foie gras with her silver fork, and gently licking the corner of her lips with her pink tongue.

"It's just over 600 million," she said nonchalantly, shaking her wrist. "The summer collection—dress, bag, and jewelry—is a complete set. With my money, it's just enough."

Mercury still couldn't believe it and went back to his room to search for the items.

Cash... no cash!

Tamiya Ryoko's card... I don't have one!

The money he painstakingly swindled from Shunoin Academy, the inheritance of the dead Ryoko Tamiya, and the "donations" from Saeko Busujima.

A total of over 600 million Japanese yen.

More than 600!

Even if he suddenly feels like it, a glass of Yamazaki 55-year-old whisky would be enough!

With a silent sigh, Mercury put on a smile again and walked out.

Tomie, being the embodiment of desire, naturally has demands for material things.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

If you lose money, just scam more; no, wait, earn it back.

He and Tomie are siblings, or of course, they could be brother and sister.

"Tomie."

"what?"

"Fuck your mother!"

I can't stand even a little bit!

Mercury immediately used Zero Escape as his starting move.

Pointing his finger at Tomie's nose, he roared, "You spent six million of my money on bags and dresses? You son of a bitch, you could at least buy me a bottle of liquor worth a few hundred thousand!"

The thought of his beloved fine wine being lost made his heart ache.

If all else fails, you can always buy a car and drive it!

They can also scam insurance companies.

Tomie raised an eyebrow, picked up her wine glass, and took a sip: "You're reluctant to spend money on me?"

"Who the hell are you?"

After being scolded like that, Tomie also lost her temper.

He slammed the wine glass down on the table, slowly rose, and stood in front of Mercury.

Say it again.

Mercury simply gave him the middle finger.

"I'm telling you, you're a fucking bastard!"

"Me... eh?"

Just as Tomie was about to retort, her attention was drawn to the ring on Mercury's middle finger.

Like a snake's eye, a blood-red gem.

Based on her experience, it must be a high-end item.

"Your ring..." She took a half step forward, almost touching Mercury, her breath carrying the rich aroma of red wine.

"What brand is it? The gemstone looks like natural pigeon blood red."

Mercury's raised middle finger froze in mid-air; he had almost forgotten he even had this ring.

"Don't even think about it, you can't handle it."

Mercury hid the ring behind his back and used his other hand to give the middle finger.

Go eat shit.

After saying that, he walked straight out.

……

"Silly Bo".

Tomie cursed under her breath, then sat down on the sofa with a victorious air.

When you turn on the TV, the first thing you see is a news report.

To date, in order to avoid confusion, their existence has been kept secret from the public.

But it's about time we officially announced it.

"Hmm?" Tomie watched with great interest as a row of experts sat on the TV screen, each offering their own opinions.

The few clowns sitting there were quite a pleasant sight.

But even if it were made public, it would only create more chaos.

Rumors circulate that Amelia used this parasite for military purposes.

【…】

[Next, Professor Jing will explain to us how to identify parasites.]

Immediately afterwards, an expert stood up.

Then he went on to talk about the body structure of the parasites.

And its deformability and elasticity, as well as its steel-like attack hardness.

In summary...

[When a human's hair is pulled out, nothing happens, but when a parasite's hair is pulled out, it struggles painfully, undergoes cell division, and slowly dies.]

In other words, to identify a parasite, you only need to pluck a single hair from its head.

Of course, eyebrows and nose hairs are also acceptable.

……

"Knock knock knock~"

"They're here."

The Snow Woman heard a knock on the door in the dead of winter and turned off the TV.

"Mercury?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yuki-onna Shifu showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh, my good friend, may I stay the night?" Mercury gave her a warm hug.

He made it seem like the person opposite him was a good friend he hadn't seen for years.

"Come in."

After a moment of silence, Yuki-onna, in the depths of winter, did not refuse.

She didn't feel disgusted by Mercury.

In particular, he also helped me solve my rent problem.

And after learning that he, like Reiko, was a student.

The feeling of being filled inside became even stronger.

Isn't this a kind of fate?

Snow Woman watched him plop down on the living room sofa in the dead of winter, then poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"The streets are in chaos right now."

"Temporary." Mercury turned on the TV without any hesitation, and the news channel was the first thing he saw.

Don't be fooled by the current frenzy of panic buying; it's really just out of fear of infection.

It's like talking about the end of the world.

What a crazy day!

The next day, things were the same as before.

As he spoke, he touched his pocket, then remembered the expensive liquor he had been longing for, and couldn't help but curse again.

"Damn Tomie, why didn't I hit her earlier?"

Yuki-onna sat down next to him in the dead of winter.

She had just overheard the two arguing.

"You and Tomie... have always been like this?"

She asked softly, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the fuzz on her cuffs.

"I don't know her well," Mercury replied.

He and Tomie hadn't actually known each other for more than half a month.

They used to get along really well, but they're both jerks, so they each went their own way.

He occasionally cracks a joke.

No one gives in to anyone else's way of speaking.

Well, now that you mention it, we've definitely gotten to know each other better.

"Is that so..."

After thinking for a moment, Yuki-onna, who was standing to the side, silently took out two circus tickets from her pocket.

She originally intended to go by herself.

"Um... how about we go see the circus together?"

"Hmm?" Mercury looked at her in confusion.

Is this an invitation to myself?

Are we that close?

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just thanking you for your help last time," said Yuki-onna Fuyuki.

I could tell he wasn't in a good mood, so I wanted to invite him to relax.

And there was that strange feeling she didn't want to admit, the last time Mercury called her "Mom."

Recalling the feeling of being called "Mom" last time, Yuki-onna's face flushed.

"If you don't want to go, then don't."

"Go! Why not go?" Mercury stuffed the ticket into his pocket, coughed twice, and his eyes suddenly became unfocused.

"By the way, do you still have the wine from last time? You should drink while watching a show."

Finally, he revealed his true purpose for coming here.

He wouldn't come out if there was still alcohol at home.

You should use the "Friendship-Breaking Fist" on Tomie, along with some strong liquor.

Let her experience what the iron fist of love is like.
