Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

After Kawakami Kenichi said those words, the air seemed to freeze instantly.

It was obvious that Mercury's expression darkened.

It wasn't because the man in front of her had rejected her.

He doesn't yet have that kind of self-centered protagonist mentality.

What truly shattered Mercury's composure was the way this man treated Tomie!

He values ​​Tomie more than his own life!

This is because I was completely and deeply influenced!

Holding a nuclear bomb, he was smug and grinning at those around him.

But Tomie hasn't been dismembered yet, has she?

Why does this happen?

The old dean's expression was also rather unpleasant.

He never expected that Tomie would be so charming.

When I was in the orphanage, it only had a slight impact on my daily life.

Fortunately... fortunately we arrived early.

"Damn it, this world is really chaotic."

Mercury growled and his fingers tightened sharply, striking Kawakami Kenichi directly in the face.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

After saying that, he punched him repeatedly in the face.

His fists tore through the air, and his superhuman physique made his skin tougher than rubber and his bones harder than steel.

This is just the boost from the Salt King's passive ability.

In fact, if the old dean hadn't been there, he would have been better off using the Salt King's abilities directly.

A dull thud rang out as flesh collided with bone, and blood instantly spurted from Kawakami Kenichi's nose and mouth, staining half of his cheek red.

He leaned against the bookshelf.

They did not retaliate.

He didn't even raise his hand to wipe the blood off his face.

He slowly and with great difficulty raised his head, a blood-stained, almost eerie smile spreading across his lips.

His eyes were frighteningly bright.

He looked straight behind Mercury—at Tomie, who had been standing quietly beside the old dean.

Greed and malice are made no attempt to conceal.

"Enough, Mercury." The old headmaster's voice was hoarse, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Take Tomie with you, let's go."

His gaze fell on the man covered in blood who was still staring intently at Tomie, and a complex and inexplicable pity flashed in his eyes.

"This matter was my fault."

Mercury froze in mid-air, the power in his fist slowly dissipating.

"Tch, whether you're wrong or he's wrong, it's none of my business, but if we leave this hidden danger, it will explode sooner or later."

In his view, it didn't matter whether the old dean was right or wrong.

It's important that this man, consumed by desire, dies.

"I still have some connections in Japan."

The old dean slowly shook his head, paused, and then his voice lowered: "Don't secretly kill them."

The air froze again.

Mercury, who was secretly drawing swirls on the ground, paused, then casually wiped them away.

"……absurd."

The former dean: "..."

……

As soon as the morning dawned in Chiba City, the air was bathed in a warm orange hue.

On the bustling street, pedestrians turned their heads, their gazes lingering on the three people for a moment.

A sprightly, handsome old man in a well-tailored retro suit walked with a steady gait and had sharp, eagle-like eyes.

A man and a woman followed closely behind, both with enviable youthful appearances.

The man was tall and aloof, but there was a hint of suppressed violence hidden between his brows, like a wild beast in human skin, ready to tear off the mask of gentleness at any moment.

The woman looked like a girl who had stepped out of a magazine, with cascading black hair, clear eyes, and a faint smile always playing on her lips. A beauty mark under her eye was the perfect finishing touch.

It's so beautiful it's unreal, yet you can't bear to look at it a second time.

The three of them walking together formed a beautiful sight on the street.

The old dean walked at the front, his steps firm, occasionally observing the emotions of those around him as they looked at Tomie.

Mercury lagged half a step behind, his hands in his trench coat pockets.

Tomie, on the other hand, walked quietly behind him, her usual arrogance towards others gone, her gaze wandering over the shop windows on the street.

"I still want to kill them. I can't rest easy until they're dead," Mercury finally said.

"Don't be ridiculous," the old dean criticized sternly, then said, "That family has just been staying with Tomie for too long and has been affected a bit. They'll be fine after a while."

"What's the basis for that?"

Why do you think I brought you guys out shopping?

Mercury paused in his steps.

"You mean...this is an experiment?"

The old dean didn't turn around, but simply nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over a ramen shop on the street corner.

Inside the store, a young employee who was wiping a table suddenly stopped and looked at Tomie.

This process lasted for a few seconds, after which, as if realizing he was working, he refocused his attention.

The older man didn't even look at Tomie; he was focused on his work.

The old dean said in a low voice, "I have conducted this kind of experiment with Tomie before. The older a person is and the more social experience they have, the weaker this effect will gradually become."

The affected young people did not exhibit the same behavior as the Kawakami couple.

"Isn't this just the behavior of a pretty girl?" Mercury said.

After the old dean's explanation, Mercury understood.

It's not that Tomie has awakened.

It's just that some people spend too much time with Tomie.

Even the charm she unintentionally unleashed was irresistible.

It's very much like a movie setting.

But his appearance is that of an anime character.

mix?

"That's right, it's just the behavior of an ordinary pretty girl, only she's much more charming than those pretty girls, and in the orphanage, she didn't seem to be more influenced the longer she spent time there..."

The old dean sounded somewhat annoyed.

"Heh, look at all the animals in the orphanage. A Tomie who hasn't even awakened yet—no wonder she can't possibly seduce them."

……

Tomie continued walking quietly, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

She stopped in front of a jewelry store, her gaze falling on a ruby ​​ring in the window.

The greed in his eyes was undisguised.

The old dean and Mercury stayed with her, standing behind her.

"This ring is so beautiful." Tomie stopped in front of the shop window, her eyes fixed on the ruby ​​ring, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Mercury stood behind her and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If I hadn't seen that girl's performance, I would have really thought she was just an ordinary girl."

"She's just an ordinary girl," the old dean said seriously.

"The difference is that others rely on dressing up, the camera, and packaging, while she doesn't need to do anything. Standing here, wearing the most ordinary clothes and with the simplest hairstyle, everyone still can't help but notice her, want to get closer to her, and even... try to please her."

Tomie suddenly turned around and smiled: "Are you talking badly about me?"

"..." The old dean.

"You have a keen sense of things." Mercury chuckled twice.

She blinked, then turned back, her tone light: "So who's going to treat me? Consider it an apology for talking bad about me."

The old director sighed and rubbed his forehead: "You child, as soon as you come to the city, all you think about is shopping. The orphanage's allowance can't support your spending like this."

"But I've already set my sights on it," Tomie drawled, with a hint of coquetry. "Besides, shouldn't you strive to get what you like?"

At this moment, Tomie's charm was on full display.

"Even if you say that, the money in the orphanage can't be touched." The old director smiled bitterly.

The air condensed.

A passing shop assistant glared angrily at the two of them.

It was as if they were being questioned: why didn't they buy this for the girl in front of them?

Just then, Tomie suddenly spoke up: "Old Dean, I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat? Shall we go get sushi?"

"Hmm." Tomie nodded, a smile playing on her lips. "But... I want to buy it myself."

The old dean hesitated.

Mercury said, "Let her go. It'll be good to see just how far she can 'infect'."

……

Tomie walked alone to a bento shop on the street corner.

Her steps were light, her black hair fluttered in the wind, and the beauty mark under her eye was faintly visible in the sunlight.

Inside the store, the customers who were chatting suddenly fell silent.

The young man's gaze was fixed on her, and his breathing became heavy.

After a few seconds, he looked away.

He would still steal glances at Tomie from time to time.

Tomie ignored all of this, and when she ordered a salmon bento and paid, her fingertips lightly brushed against the back of the clerk's hand.

In that instant, the shop assistant shuddered as if struck by an electric current, letting out a low moan that was almost a groan.

She then took the lunchbox, turned and left, her smile as pure as ever.

When she walked back to the two of them, she handed the lunchbox to the old director: "I bought this for you, your favorite salmon."

The old dean was taken aback: "You...remember?"

"Of course." Tomie smiled. "And for you, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just bought the same thing as me."

Mercury took the lunchbox and smiled.

It turns out that Tomie wasn't unable to integrate into human society.

Rather, it is human society that simply cannot bear her "normality".
