Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

"Finished talking? You two just made quite a commotion."

Yoshimura Ete looked at the two people who had followed, especially Mercury, who was holding an alcohol bottle in his hand.

That's outrageous, this is 95% medical alcohol.

"I've given you a beggar's makeover here, say thank you." Mercury smacked his lips.

It doesn't taste good. You should take a cup, light it on fire, and then slowly savor it.

"Sir, here you go."

Seeing Mercury frowning, Kanou Akihiro pulled out a cup from somewhere and respectfully handed it over.

He smiled obsequiously.

He even poured the wine out himself, lit it, and handed it to Mercury.

"Not bad, you have potential." Mercury patted him on the shoulder, giving him his approval.

"Of course, of course."

Seeing Akihiro Kanou's fawning expression, Eto Yoshimura's eyes twitched.

You know, this doctor has never been this enthusiastic towards her before.

It seems like they'd love to jump ship right now.

"Hmm~ Five ants~"

Flames danced in the glass, and Mercury raised his hand and shook the glass.

Indeed, it tastes better when some of the alcohol is evaporated.

Seeing this, Yoshimura Eto didn't know what to say and calmly led the way, "Let's go, we're going to the experimental site for that thing."

"OK~ I hope it's not something boring," Mercury said, but he didn't have much hope.

What good things can a bronze tree have?

It's nothing more than a one-eyed experiment.

Kanou Akihiro stood to the side, his fawning smile undiminished, and he even subtly moved half a step closer to Mercury.

"Lord Mercury is right. Things that follow the rules are not worthy of someone like you." He glanced at Yoshimura Eto and, seeing her calm expression, added, "But my lady, this thing will definitely surprise you."

"Heh heh~ We'll see♪♪~"

His words piqued Mercury's interest.

……

Soon, Yoshimura Eto brought Mercury to a place...

"A breeding base?"

Mercury was taken aback when he saw this all-natural, green, biochemical breeding base.

It doesn't occupy a large area, about the size of a room.

But a high-tech underground laboratory with a green ecological environment seems a bit out of place, doesn't it?

"Yes, after all, that thing is better kept here." Yoshimura Eto smiled and then turned on the lights.

"That thing?"

Just as Mercury was wondering, as the lights came on, he also saw the thing perched on a branch in the corner.

A slug with a shell shaped like a woman's head?

"Um?"

I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.

Thinking he was drunk, Mercury immediately dropped his wine glass and patted his face.

Three seconds later, he looked over again.

It's still there... it's still there... it's still there... it's still there...

The woman's head happened to be looking over.

The man and the slug stared at each other, their eyes locked, and the air seemed to freeze.

Almost instantly, both faces simultaneously revealed expressions of horror!

Then, at the same time, they subconsciously move away from each other.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Get this thing away from me!"

Mercury retreated until his back hit the wall!

On the other hand, the human-headed slug wriggled its slimy body and shrank deeper into the branches. The woman's face was contorted, but her eyes revealed hope.

Yoshimura Eto blinked, not understanding why Mercury was reacting so strongly.

He turned off the lights and pulled him outside.

The doctor, too, stared wide-eyed and mouth agape at this "god" who had just been so arrogant.

Now they're showing fear because of a harmless slug.

The contrast is just too great!

……

"Holy crap! You guys at Aogiri Tree are insane!"

Mercury was still cursing even after leaving the natural ecological base.

Damn it!

They actually managed to bring the slug girl here!

This is insane!

Yoshimura Eto watched Mercury leaning against the wall, panting heavily, and couldn't help but chuckle. "He's just a harmless test subject, no need to get so worked up, is there?"

"Harmless?" Mercury jerked his head up and cursed, "Fuck you! Ignorance is bliss!"

Slug Girl.

A famous monster created by Junji Ito.

It tells the story of a girl who, for some unknown reason, has a giant slug coming out of her mouth.

Finally, after being soaked in salt, its entire body shrank to the point of being almost invisible to the naked eye, leaving only its head as a slug's shell to survive.

It's a story that's simple and easy to understand.

but!

pay attention!

Important note: Due to unknown reasons!

Any work by Junji Ito that bears this label.

Once you see it, trust me, just run!

Who knows if it's contaminated? Or if it's contagious?

Or perhaps it's some kind of demon causing trouble, like the demon that made a contract with Yuuma Azawa.

Mercury certainly didn't want a slug to suddenly pop out of his mouth one day.

Moreover, turning a person into a slug with a shell will always remind him of some bad things.

Especially the hair on that woman's head, which was curled into an unsightly shape...

"Shouldn't your salt be effective against slugs? Why are you so afraid of it?" Yoshimura Eto raised an eyebrow, unconcerned about being scolded.

"Not exactly fear, just a little scared," Mercury glared at her.

He didn't really want to go to places like Tombstone Town, which had such clear rules.

Not to mention seeing a girl who has turned into a slug for some unknown reason.

He didn't even dare to kill her, for who knows if the "curse" would spread to him?

This is what he meant when he said that there might not be some incredible thing out there in some corner of the city.

Akihiro Kanou, standing to the side, also adjusted his glasses, his eyes revealing excitement.

An existence that even Lord Mercury fears!

If this allows him to research something...

"Hehehe... A new world is right before us."

……

"Is there anything else? Tell me all at once."

After this shock, Mercury also wanted to know if the Bronze Tree had anything even more incredible.

The combination of everyday action and horror can always produce something extraordinary.

"There's one last thing, something like honey. If you eat it, something will fall from the sky and turn you into minced meat."

"Honey?" Mercury looked at her strangely.

Honey, another popular work by Junji Ito.

It's like an adventurer bringing back honey from the rainforest and sharing it with his friends.

Then he was smashed into a bloody mess by a giant hand that fell from the sky.

The owner of the giant hand is a strangely shaped tree in the rainforest.

It's worth mentioning that, just like contraband, ordinary people are completely unable to resist the temptation of honey.
