Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Chapter 73 Mercury's Growing Strength

Outside the village.

The injured Hachi remained standing, his face still bearing that strange smile.

Savoring the fresh and delicious food in the village, I looked at my injured arm.

The hand, which should have recovered, now has a large hole.

It was as if an invisible force was preventing the healing process.

"Good boy..."

After muttering something to himself, Hachiko began to wander through the village.

She hadn't had such delicious food in a long time.

You must eat it completely, swallow it whole!

"Mwah mwah mwah..."

……

"The Eight-Foot Man is a representative urban legend and strange tale of Japan, especially in our area."

"The most striking feature is his height, which is far beyond that of ordinary people (legend says he was about eight feet tall, or about 2.4 meters), and he appears as a woman wearing a white or floral kimono."

"They usually wear a hat when they appear."

"Legend has it that an eight-foot-tall adult will target specific individuals, especially children or men living alone, and will cast a curse through continuous stalking and spying."

The person being targeted will first hear a faint "smacking" sound or the sound of high heels, and then will disappear without a trace.

"And she especially likes to target children. If you're targeted by her, she'll find you no matter where you run off to."

At the dinner table, listening to the village chief's words, the dazed Mercury finally remembered where he had seen this thing before.

I remember now, I remember everything.

They look alike, but what they're doing isn't appropriate either.

It shouldn't be... cough cough.

He quickly stopped making a sound.

Upon closer reflection, the legends surrounding Ba Chi seem to primarily involve malicious murder.

Those who talk about being in a relationship are just rambling on and on.

Yuki-onna Fuyuki, who was eating nearby, nodded in agreement. "Yasakani, not too troublesome."

There are too many urban legends about the Eight-Foot Man, but no matter which version it is, he is not very strong.

If we were to meet, I would definitely be able to kill her.

"Indeed." Mercury nodded in deep agreement.

She was only eight feet tall. If I hadn't been overly cautious, I could have killed her in a single exchange.

The King of Salt is simply the natural enemy of these demons and monsters.

"That's good, I can rest assured now." The village chief nodded happily.

"By the way, village chief, don't you have any rare, fine wines in your stash?"

Seeing that he had finally finished the wine in his hand, Mercury clicked his tongue in annoyance.

At the same time, he looked at the old village chief.

Do elderly people usually keep some bars on hand?

"Cough cough, don't bother this old man. I'm so old, I don't even have any alcohol anymore."

"lie."

When he asked for the wine, Mercury had already focused his attention on the old village chief.

His expression was clearly unnatural when he said that.

And his eyes unconsciously drifted toward the room behind him.

As someone who respected the elderly and cared for the young, Mercury naturally pretended not to know anything.

"That's true, I'll go out for a walk first."

Mercury said something and then walked out.

He planned to go out, climb through the window, and get his hands on the old village chief's wine.

"etc……"

Watching the figure already walking away, the old village chief lowered his arm, which had been trying to stop him.

"Alright, Deep Winter, you can tell him later that there are only two rooms left, so let him squeeze in with this old man like me."

Upon hearing this, Yuki-onna's eyes lit up.

Only two rooms left?

"Ahem, village chief, Mercury can stay with me. After all, those children all disappear at night. If I'm there, we can look after each other."

"Huh? Is this appropriate?"

The old village chief stared blankly at the blushing Snow Woman, Shen Dong.

This is truly a case of ulterior motives.

Even this old man could see it.

"Leave it to me with confidence." Yuki-onna Fuyuki nodded solemnly.

The old village chief: "..."

……

night.

Mercury, who had secretly drunk several jars of the village chief's old wine, returned in a daze.

With bedtime approaching, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a place to stay.

"I'm back."

Just as he was wondering whether he should just find a room to stay in, Yuki-onna's voice rang out from the doorway.

She was a little shorter than usual, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the empty room next to her.

"The village chief said there are only two rooms left, so I'll stay with you."

"OK."

As long as there's a place to stay, he's fine with it; he's not picky.

As for who you sleep with, that's not important.

Having slept with Tomie, why would he care about others?

The moment Mercury agreed, the snow woman's ears turned bright red.

He quickly grabbed Mercury's hand and returned to the room.

……

"Your body temperature is way too low."

Mercury had considered sleeping in the same room, but he hadn't considered sharing the same blanket.

Moreover, the Snow Woman's body temperature is so low even in the dead of winter.

This is really... awesome!

Having this cooling device in summer is simply amazing!

Even the effects of the alcohol have dissipated somewhat.

Mercury moved closer to her, pressing himself tightly against her.

The snow woman's ears, still flushed with a lingering blush in the depths of winter, "quietly" embraced Mercury, holding him close in her arms.

"I will control my body temperature."

Her voice was softer than usual, with a barely perceptible unease, "And... if we get closer, we can react immediately to any movement."

She even came up with an excuse.

Mercury said "Oh," and then added, "You mean...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yuki-onna Fuyutsu hurriedly covered his mouth.

"I...I..." Shen Dong's voice trembled, but the arms around his waist tightened even more.

"Are you serious?" Mercury's eyes widened, and the spun house in front of him seemed to become much clearer.

For some reason, Tomie's image flashed through his mind.

Snow Woman's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. She didn't dare look him in the eye and forced herself to say, "I..."

After waiting for a while, there was still no further news from Yuki-onna in the depths of winter.

Just as Mercury was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt something soft press against his lips.

It's icy cold.

"Um?"

Snow Woman Deep Winter had already closed her eyes, and with a determined heart, she charged forward.

"You..." Mercury, now fully conscious, looked at the face so close to his.

Her cheeks were as white as snow, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

"Don't ask, I just...want to give it a try."

Should we respond?

If I don't respond, I'm not a real man!

It quietly eroded the ground beneath their feet, turning it into fine salt that formed a line that spread outside the house.

"Should I call you Mom?"

"Huh?...I want it!"

"Waaah..."

……

Outside the village chief's house.

A tall figure suddenly appeared.

Just as I was about to step inside, my foot sizzled and started smoking.

"Kiss kiss kiss..."

Looking at the fine salt that had somehow appeared around the house, Hachiko tilted his head.

I plan to skip over it directly.

But the moment she lifted her foot, the salt transformed into countless whips, attacking her from all directions.

"Mwah mwah mwah!!!"

Ba Chi hurriedly dodged to the side, but still suffered several cuts.

Seeing that the injury was still beyond healing, Hachi's entire body bent over.

After glancing at the house, I decided to leave.

"There will be an opportunity..."

"Kiss kiss kiss..."
