Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Early the next morning.

Mercury got up very early.

This is so incredible.

There was no pulling of Tomie, no numbing effect of alcohol, and no teacher knocking on the door.

He got up on his own, even after drinking.

"Waaah..."

The sound of Mercury sitting up startled the snow woman, Deep Winter, who was sitting next to him.

I groggily opened my eyes and saw a solid back.

"Don't...don't move..." Shen Dong's voice was still heavy with sleepiness.

She had already climbed out of bed, her arms naturally wrapped around his waist, and her cheek pressed tightly against his broad back.

"Hiss~"

The touch was both cool and soft, causing Mercury's body to stiffen.

The Snow Woman's body has this one bad thing: it's always cold.

"You're so warm..." she murmured, snuggling even deeper into his arms, almost hanging on his back.

"You're too cold," Mo Qiu said, looking at her. "You should get up and put on some clothes."

"Um……"

"How about we wait a bit?"

Upon hearing Mercury's words, Yuki-onna Fuyuki looked embarrassed.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Deep Winter mm~"

"That's so unfair..."

……

"Youth is wonderful."

Looking at the two people who awkwardly emerged from the room in the middle of the day, the village chief sighed.

Wait, something seems off. These two are monsters.

They are much older than this old man.

"Wait, wait a minute." The village chief's eyes widened as he looked at the wine jug in Mercury's hand.

She hurriedly ran to the next room, her legs and feet moving nimbly like someone who wasn't old.

A few seconds later, a pitiful sound suddenly rang out.

"NO!!!"

"Snowflakes are falling♪♪♪~The wind and snow are howling♪♬♬~"

Upon hearing this sorrowful cry, Mercury immediately added some music to it.

There's nothing we can do; he's the one who respects the elderly and cares for the young.

"Don't do that." Yuki-onna Fuyumi patted him on the shoulder.

"Consider this payment. Anyway, this old guy doesn't have many years left to live, so why keep so much wine?"

"You," Yuki-onna gently patted his head in the deep winter.

I remembered the time when the two of them were committing fraud at the entrance of Shunoin Academy.

He's still such a jerk.

That's exactly what attracted her.

"Besides," Mercury unscrewed the lid of the flask, gently sniffed the familiar aroma, and squinted his eyes. "This wine is truly excellent, a 30-year-old masterpiece. I like it."

Tomie can tell the authenticity and price of luxury goods.

He can also taste the vintage and quality of spirits.

……

After a while, the village chief came out with red eyes.

Looking at the two people already seated at the table, he sighed.

Let them drink; they are the ones who made the greatest contribution.

It's just a little bit of alcohol, I don't care at all.

If we can kill that man-eating octopus, then we'll consider this wine a gift to him.

"That's right, out with the old, in with the new. Take it easy. You don't have many years left to live anyway. Take the wine with you into your coffin, so you won't have to worry about rats gnawing on your body. In a way, I've helped you out."

Mercury patted the village chief on the shoulder, offering words of comfort as if they were free.

The village chief twitched his lips, staring at Mercury's "righteous" face, and really wanted to slap him.

Fortunately, having lived for so many years, he has developed a good ability to cultivate his character.

As the snow woman drank her porridge in the dead of winter, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, she remained silent, but a hint of unconcealed joy shone through her eyes.

"Ah, one must be magnanimous in life." Mercury showed no remorse, instead pouring himself another small cup, holding it up to the sunlight and swirling it around. "No matter how much I regret it, it can't go back into the jar. How about... wishing us both a resounding victory today?"

"A resounding success?" The village chief immediately straightened his expression. "I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault for not being thorough enough. There's some decades-old wine in the neighbor's cellar, you can take it."

Mercury: "That feels great."

We can't expect people to work for free by exorcising evil spirits.

If Deep Winter hadn't come up yesterday, he would have left long ago after testing the Salt King's abilities.

The word "helping others" doesn't exist in his dictionary.

……

The two returned to the village, and this time they decided to split up.

Having already grasped the extent of the threat posed by the Eight Feet, they remained completely calm.

Just fight when you see him.

In a single glance, he could tear eight feet to shreds.

But the two were soon disappointed.

They wandered around for a day but didn't run into Ba Chi.

I guess this time they really are avoiding the two of them.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until tonight." Yuki-onna Fuyuki sighed helplessly.

After all, those children all disappeared at night, which shows that the eight feet must be somewhat different at night and during the day.

"That's the only way. Let the old village chief stay at someone else's house for the night," Mercury nodded and said.

According to the legend of the eight-foot-tall figure, he is more likely to attract her when he is alone in a room.

I'll give it a try tonight. If I can't wait, I'll have to leave now.

He didn't want to just sit there waiting like an idiot.

……

"Hmph hmph hmph ♬♬~ Monsters should all be thrown into the ♬~ incinerator ♬♪~"

Humming an unknown tune, Mercury walked to the window.

As I watched the sun about to set, my mood became increasingly cheerful.

After a while, until the sun had completely set, he closed the door and lay down on the bed.

Quietly awaiting the appearance of the eight-foot-tall figure.

"Don't come out no matter what sound you hear."

A little boy's voice suddenly popped into his mind.

"Hmph, is it because the impression is too deep?"

……

In another room.

In the depths of winter, Yuki-onna sat by the window, resting her chin on her hand, quietly gazing at the night.

I don't know what she's thinking.

"Mercury..."

Muttering to herself, Yuki-onna squeezed her thighs together in the deep winter.

"Does this mean I've become a mistress?"

Thinking of Tomie, who was living with Mercury, her face turned sorrowful.

It seems like I'm the one who's completely involved in this situation.

Yesterday I just went for it without thinking, my mind was completely blank.

Now that I think about it carefully, I have absolutely no idea how to face Tomie.

"Sigh, I'll have to be careful when I go back."
