Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

[Breaking news! The eldest son and first heir of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, Shinomiya Hiromitsu, was confirmed dead yesterday!]

[The head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Enen, expressed his regret and stated clearly that the Shinomiya Zaibatsu would not suffer any turmoil as a result.]

Furthermore, it was explicitly stated that those who attended the banquet would not be held responsible.

According to police investigation, this case was committed by a parasitic creature. We urge the public to remain vigilant against such monsters.

The Shinomiya Zaibatsu has issued a bounty: 1,000 million Japanese yen for each parasitic beast!

This reward has been officially verified and confirmed to be a legitimate offer.

"Crunch~"

When Hachiman Hikigaya got home, he opened the door and saw his younger sister sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The news being played above is about the death of Shinomiya Hiromitsu.

"Why are you interested in these things?"

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at the Shinomiya Zaibatsu logo on the television screen and asked in a calm tone.

Komachi Hikigaya didn't even turn her head, still clutching the remote control in her hand, her voice filled with a hint of excitement.

"Onii-chan, look! 1000 million Neon Coins for one Parasite! That's outrageous!"

She turned to look at Hachiman Hikigaya, her eyes sparkling, "And the heir of the Shinomiya family was actually killed by a parasite. Suddenly, I feel like this world is so dangerous."

Hachiman Hikigaya paused with his right hand, then walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"What's so surprising?" he said calmly. "The Shinomiya family has plenty of money. Even a high bounty is just a drop in the ocean. It's the fact that the authorities directly classified it as the work of a parasitic beast and agreed to publicly offer a bounty. That's a bit unusual."

"Abnormal?" Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "Isn't it because the parasites are too dangerous? I've heard that there have been several missing persons cases related to them before, and now even the Shinomiya family is suffering. Such a dangerous species must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"Onii-chan, do you think we might encounter parasites? Please protect Komachi if that happens."

Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at her. "Don't think about these things. Just stay home and nothing will happen. By the way, didn't Mom and Dad say they'd be back from their business trip today?"

"They're not coming back," Komachi Hikigaya said nonchalantly. "My parents said the city is too dangerous, so they're going on a trip to the countryside. They just sent me their living expenses and left."

"Is that so?" Hachiman Hikigaya nodded.

Indeed, with parasites, conglomerates, and official bounties all mixed together, Japan is unlikely to be peaceful in the near future.

No, it should be said that there has never been peace since the parasites appeared.

Going to the countryside is fine; Xiaoyou said there are very few parasites there, so you're unlikely to encounter them.

But for some reason, he always felt a faint unease in his heart.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

……

"I think you're overthinking it. Do you really think Mercury would love you? He's just playing around with you."

Inside a shopping mall, Tomie was picking out bracelets while mocking Yuki-onna, Shin-fuyu, who had followed her there.

Tomie really didn't expect that Mercury would actually call her along.

That's outrageous.

The Snow Woman's fingertips had just touched a necklace with ice crystal patterns when she heard this and abruptly stopped, looking at her with hostility.

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

She hadn't originally intended to come when she saw Tomie.

But this was the first time Mercury had invited him to go shopping.

I thought that as long as I ignored her, it would be fine, but I never expected that this woman would be so sharp-tongued and mean.

"Hmph." Tomie raised an eyebrow and turned around, saying sarcastically, "What I want to say is, don't think that just because he took you out shopping, he cares about you. He just finds your cold and aloof demeanor novel. Once the novelty wears off, you won't even be worth a single hair on my head."

"So you're scared?" Yuki-onna Fuyuki sneered, looking at Tomie with a sharp retort.

"I'm scared? Hahahaha!" Tomie covered her mouth and laughed. "Do you think I'd be scared of a mistress like you who doesn't even live with me? You're only fit to carry my shoes."

Snow Woman in Deep Winter: "ꐦ≖ ≖"

She was really angry this time.

If it weren't for the crowds and distractions around here, she would have frozen this woman's mouth shut!

……

"Kid, do you want to be a jerk?"

Hiratsuka sat quietly in her chair, watching the two women locked in a fierce confrontation, and made a joking remark.

"God loves all beings." Mercury said excitedly, recording a video on his phone.

A battleground?

nonexistent.

Even if a fight breaks out, I won't try to stop it; instead, I'll record the scene and watch it for fun.

"God loves all living beings?" Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mercury's phone, which he held high. "I think you're more interested in watching chaotic scenes. Be careful you don't end up getting burned."

She offered her advice.

Although her student was a complete jerk at school, she didn't want Mercury to actually become a scumbag.

Mercury didn't care at all, chuckled, and stared intently at the two facing off, his tone cheerful, "Don't worry, winter will cool me down."

"You..." Looking at the unrepentant Mercury, Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, you didn't really go and rob a bank, did you? A simple piece of jewelry here costs millions of yen. Where did you get so much money?"

As she spoke, she shook the watch on her wrist.

A watch worth over 2000 million Japanese yen is only considered decent here.

Of course, she paid for it herself.

She's definitely a rich woman, a super rich woman!

"I earned all of this myself through hard work," Mercury said, as the camera panned to the gemstone bracelet that Tomie had just bought.

Hiratsuka Shizuka clicked her tongue but didn't say anything more.

The old dean didn't investigate further, so she, as an outsider, didn't do such an annoying thing.

In any case, the Hiratsuka Group hadn't received any bounties for this kid on the black market.

It looks like it was earned through normal channels... right?

"Speaking of which, since you're so rich, don't you plan to manage your money? If you keep spending like this, even if you're rich, you won't be able to keep up."

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow, thinking of the wrecked car she had seen downstairs at the apartment building.

It can be lost just like that.

Even she, a young lady from a wealthy family, felt sorry for him.

"If you have money, spend it quickly. Who knows if you'll die tomorrow?" Mercury said in a strange tone.

How to make money in this world?

Is this a joke told by Tzeentch?
