From then on, he was less opposed to Anastasia's coveting of his general, which also increased Mimi's favorability towards him to some extent.
Upon hearing the news, Priscilla simply scoffed, commenting that Yukinoshita was somewhat lucky, claiming she had escaped with her life.
Since the fool is no longer focused solely on Yukina and has married her, Priscilla naturally has no need to target that runaway loser.
Meanwhile, Vincent, who had come to Lugnica, quickly slipped back to the Empire after learning of the prophecy of the Dragonstone, along with the blue lightning that had barely survived its challenge against Reid.
...Of course, he was only on his last breath before the treatment; after Phyllis treated him, he was at least half alive.
One day later, the merging of the worlds began. The entire process took less than two seconds. In the blink of an eye, the other world was seamlessly combined with Earth. Everything that needed to be preserved was perfectly preserved, and the insertion points were just right, without any difficulties.
This is all thanks to Ji-gu.
He needed to make so many preliminary preparations in order to achieve a perfect integration without affecting anyone or anywhere.
Otherwise, although they could have merged much earlier, a hasty merger would only result in widespread resentment, losses for both worlds, and ultimately, violent conflict.
Subsequently, led by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the four kingdoms of the other world, the two worlds held several meetings efficiently, finalized the tone of friendly exchanges, mutual benefit, and harmonious coexistence, and formed a brand-new United Nations with the participation of both worlds.
The reason things went so smoothly, without any troublemakers, was mainly due to Reinhard's undeniable invincible fighting prowess and saintly character.
Any ambitious person who wants to disrupt the peace and carry out any conspiracies such as invasion and annexation will first have to glance at Reinhard sitting here with fear.
At the same time, he cursed Hikigaya Hachiman under his breath.
The reason is simple... Although Reinhard is still like a saint, the example of Felt being poisoned in the IF route of Hachiman Hikigaya shows that he really persuaded Reinhard, making this saint make a slight change.
No longer so rigid—at least not to the enemy—Reinhard's intimidating power increased several notches.
Following this, the people of the other world began to be influenced by Earth's way of thinking and slowly made some institutional changes. Although the power of the nobles was still very high, they no longer had the legal right to easily kill the poor. Humans also reduced their discrimination against demi-humans.
…The reform went smoothly because Hachiman Hikigaya promoted and supported it, and Reinhard did not oppose it.
Those who have seen the future version of the other world know very well that Hachiman Hikigaya is a kind and capable person. He would not poison innocent people, so since Hachiman Hikigaya supports him so much, it must be a good thing.
Of course we should support it.
The institutional reforms, as expected, proceeded smoothly. However, a dozen or so nobles, both high and low-ranking, suddenly emerged. Priscilla glanced at them sideways, and the very next day, someone stumbled upon evidence that these individuals had committed crimes so serious they could all be sentenced to death.
Then they went up to the execution platform.
The five constants gave this other world a variety of high-yield crops and modern technology that began to flow in, while this other world taught this earth swordsmanship and magic.
But the era of universal superhuman abilities won't arrive so soon, because even with a large population on Earth, people with talents in swordsmanship and magic are actually quite rare.
For the past week, Hachiman Hikigaya has been busy acting as an intermediary between the two worlds. He has also been granted a nominal official position, though the position itself is very real.
But he didn't care about that.
To Hachiman Hikigaya's surprise, the two worlds were remarkably peaceful and amicable from beginning to end. He remained on edge the entire time, yet nothing bad happened.
"Of course, because I've given the whole world a friendly buff. People who were originally from two different worlds are now all my people—and under my friendly buff, it won't be long before they start to see each other as people from the same world."
After obtaining Ou De, the center and consciousness of the Re:Zero world, Zhi Jiu's energy reserves also began to increase. He calculated that after a couple of days when everyone was almost done with their work, he could release the second world for viewing.
After the world merged, Crusch and Emilia took some time to visit the Hikigaya family before getting busy, and met with Komachi. They got along well with Komachi.
Komachi beamed, addressing everyone as "Curshua-neechan," "Emilia-neechan," "Rem-neechan," and "Anatasia-neechan," but it was clear to everyone that she was treating her sister-in-law the way she would treat her.
Crusch and the others weren't annoyed by her obvious support for her brother's harem. After all, the decision was ultimately Hachiman's, and Hachiman's personality meant that it would be difficult for him to have a harem.
Everyone went to find Komachi, but not Yukino Yukinoshita, since there was nothing to say if they met.
Priscilla, on the other hand, showed no interest in Komachi. Instead, she went to the Yukinoshita family home and confronted Yukino Yukinoshita directly, exchanging sarcastic remarks and neither side would back down.
As a result, Yukinoshita was completely suppressed, and even when she tried to taunt Priscilla, she couldn't be as uninhibited and ended up at a disadvantage, losing the verbal battle in the end.
Seeing Priscilla leave triumphantly as the victor, Yukinoshita turned green with rage and went home to study books and go online.
Echidna immersed herself in Earth's library, absorbing new knowledge day and night, finding it quite fascinating.
Beatrice and Chaura wanted to stick close to Hachiman Hikigaya, but he was too busy for the time being, so the two of them simply spent time together.
Otto and Rem took the initiative to come to him for help and started working with Hachiman Hikigaya.
Emilia and the other candidates also presided over the work of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and all of them obtained actual power, surpassing the Council of Sages and becoming the actual leaders.
The selection process is still ongoing and in full swing, but the judges are no longer Shenlong or the Sages' Association, but rather the candidates themselves.
They all have enough virtue to deny their mistakes. When the time comes, everyone will see who has made the greatest contribution, and everyone else will be convinced.
Of course, this only applies when the emperor is completely convinced; stealing a man is a different matter entirely.
433. The Yukinoshita Sisters, Killed in an Ambush; Attack on Priscilla
Two weeks after the world merged.
For the past two weeks, Hachiman Hikigaya, who originally aspired to be a lazy stay-at-home dad, has been extremely busy. This is not because he has changed his ways, but because he believes he has a responsibility to do so.
This is a matter of great importance. If the two worlds are not properly connected and communicated, a conflict could result in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. To avoid such consequences, he, as the only 'interdimensional communicator,' has an inescapable responsibility to step forward.
Two whole weeks have passed, and only now can he finally rest.
Of course, the handover between the two worlds will not be completed so quickly. The general direction has been settled, and many things have just begun. However, at this point, he can basically withdraw.
The side effect of being busy with work is that he is too busy to have any time to even spend with Otto and Rem, who came to help him.
Of course, I never went to look for Yukinoshita.
By the time Hachiman Hikigaya had free time, the news that Anastasia had persuaded him to reconsider who to marry had already reached Yukinoshita through Priscilla and Ram.
For Yukino, the process was far from pleasant—both Ram and Priscilla mocked her mercilessly, and she was repeatedly crushed by these two smug little people, resulting in repeated defeats and immense humiliation.
Crusch, who was also extremely busy, took some time to comfort her after learning about the incident.
Crusch, an upright person, meant well, but Yukinoshita was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder... Doesn't the fact that another rival came to comfort her mean that in Crusch's eyes, Yukinoshita is no threat at all as a rival?
Otherwise, Crusch would never have been so kind.
While Yukinoshita was at home studying various books and feeling down, Emilia came to visit her.
During the conversation, Yukinoshita's initial resentment gradually turned into an indescribable fear... She felt horrified, found it hard to breathe, and even began to lack self-confidence.
Although she had long known that none of her rivals were ordinary people, she only realized after actually meeting them that she might have underestimated them.
It goes without saying that Crusch and the others' strength, power, and status completely overwhelmed her. Yukinoshita thought she at least had some wisdom, but it turns out that her so-called wisdom was not even as good as Ram or Priscilla, let alone Crusch and Anastasia, who were capable of handling national affairs.
Emilia, the most innocent and naive of the rivals, and the most unremarkable in terms of intelligence, delivered a fatal blow to Yukinoshita with her magnanimity and generosity.
After talking with Emilia, Yukinoshita was completely lost... Her thoughts of revenge against Ram and Priscilla for bringing her shame seemed too shameful compared to Emilia's.
It's not that she shouldn't retaliate, it's just... hard to explain in detail. In short, Emilia's personality made Yukinoshita feel extremely ashamed and indignant. Compared to Emilia, she was like a firefly trying to hit the moon.
After that, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been subtly aware of her sister's setbacks, smiled on the surface but secretly used her brother-in-law's connections to gain a position to participate in the two worlds' merging plan.
On the other hand, relying on this foundation, she also gained the qualification to meet several candidates. On the surface, she pretended to be serious about her work, but in fact she was secretly observing her sister's rivals and making plans.
—Then, as expected, she was killed by Anastasia.
Both are cunning businessmen, but Yukinoshita Haruno has the support of her parents and is only at the county level; while Anastasia started from scratch and relied on her own hard work and enterprising spirit to build a business guild that covers two countries.
Yukino Yukinoshita is quite cunning, but unfortunately, she encountered a stronger competitor who completely outmaneuvered her, rendering her helpless and easily exposed, like a mouse encountering a cat.
What Anastasia knows, she may not know. And what she knows, Anastasia knows better than she does.
Even Yukinoshita's only advantage—the business model of modern Earth society—was learned by Anastasia in just a few days.
Let alone standing up for her sister, Anastasia was in dire straits after being exposed... If it weren't for her own prime minister, Anastasia would usually have killed such an infiltrator on the spot.
From then on, both Yukinoshita sisters suffered defeat and were left in a miserable situation.
When Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just finished his work, heard about this, he was completely at a loss for words... He couldn't praise Crusch and Emilia, nor should he criticize the scheming Yukino, lest he bring more insults to Yukino.
Then we can only condemn Priscilla and Ram for stirring up trouble.
Ram nodded, "Mmm, yes, yes, yes," not wanting to argue with her brother-in-law. She'd already had her fun and didn't need to provoke Yukinoshita anymore. After Hachiman Hikigaya finished speaking, she put her hands on her hips and asked, "When are you and Rem getting married?"
The situation immediately reversed.
Cold sweat slowly trickled down Hachiman Hikigaya's forehead. In the end, it was Rem who gently pulled her sister away, telling her not to press him any further.
Meanwhile, Priscilla...
Al, who has returned to Japan, has taken leave and is currently enjoying himself at his hometown. Schulte, due to his actions in the "if" scenario, has displeased Priscilla and has been fired.
Now, Priscilla's mansion is only occupied by her and a group of hired maids.
Hachiman Hikigaya, who possesses the four powers of lust, greed, gluttony, and pretense, attacked the nonchalant Priscilla after failing to reason with her upon entering the mansion. He easily subdued her without injuring her.
...As a result, Priscilla lay on the ground, chuckling as she felt Hachiman Hikigaya's hands kneading her breasts.
Her bright red dress was removed, and since she was already naked except for that dress, she was suddenly completely exposed, her skin white and everything was revealed.
Having seen the arrogant woman's full, soft body completely, and even kneaded it with his hands, Hachiman Hikigaya's face turned ashen.
This is Priscilla's powerful luck effect; this guy is willing to be seen naked by her and finds her reaction very interesting, wanting to see how she will respond.
What can Hachiman Hikigaya do?
Of course, he quickly got up, didn't even glance at it, and left Priscilla's mansion. Then he reflected on how he hadn't even thought of developing a power that could suppress strong luck.
"...Priscilla!"
His lament was both bitter and helpless; he was destined to be unable to stand up for Yuki and was completely controlled by that arrogant woman.
As soon as he arrived, Priscilla stripped naked and used her superhuman luck to send him to bed…
What could he do? He could only stop going after that arrogant woman who was practically giving him away!
434. Numerous deaths
However, after Hachiman Hikigaya completed his two unpleasant journeys with Ram and Priscilla, he was called away again before he could even go find Yukinoshita.
After the world merged, the Melancholy Demon became interested in the changed world, so he left the other side of the Great Waterfall where he had lived for four hundred years, causing harm to many innocent people along the way, and then passed through the Holy Flacchia Empire.
Like Pandora, the Melancholy Witch is a witch not recorded in history. Four hundred years ago, he followed Pandora's orders and hunted down the Witch of Greed, Echidna, leading to her death.
Although the combined forces of the Azure Lightning and the Nine Divine Generals were powerful, they were no match for him. Helpless, they could only ask the Kingdom of Lugnica for help, and then the Melancholy Demon was killed by Reinhard with a single sword strike.
Therefore, the melancholic factor was received by Hachiman Hikigaya.
Vincent was practically green with envy. He had originally intended to intercept the witch's genes, which was why he hadn't sought help at first and had even tried to cover up the news.
Unfortunately, our own nine divine generals are not up to par!
