Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"..."

Kikyo turned her head, gazing into the distance. She remained silent for a long while, her expression sorrowful, as if mourning something. Her eyelids drooped. "...It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to apologize. I've already said it before: Inuyasha and I have reached the end and parted ways."

Shirogane Miyuki opened his mouth, "Then..."

"But you don't actually love me, do you?" Kikyo said softly, her clear voice tinged with sadness. She turned around and looked at Shirogane Miyuki, her clear eyes seeming to hold sorrow.

"I can't refute that."

Whether he loves her or not, Miyuki Shirogane knows perfectly well. He once loved Kaguya Shinomiya, and because of that, he knows very well that he is not in love with the shrine maiden in front of him at all.

"Compared to Kikyo, if we really have to choose one in this world, Tsubaki-san is definitely a higher priority."

"If it weren't for the fifty-year age gap that extinguished all his thoughts, he thinks he probably would have fallen in love with Miss Tsubaki. But what can he do when there's a fifty-year age gap between them, and Miss Tsubaki has never appeared even now, fifty years later."

"I don't know if she's dead... so he never thinks about her, he can only mourn her in his heart."

"Although there is no love now, I believe I am capable of falling in love with you." Miyuki Shirogane said solemnly.

"I don't want to be too rude, but please give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible." Even though she was being coveted, Kikyo remained gentle. "I appreciate your kindness."

"Shirogane Miyuki isn't someone who's easily persuaded," he said, wanting to say something more, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kikyo stood up and interrupted him: "In your eyes, what kind of person am I, Shirogane Miyuki?"

"Is she the shameless person who retaliates by doing the same thing after seeing her ex-boyfriend cheat? Is she the prostitute who doesn't care about her chastity and purity, kissing and hugging men casually? Or is she the kind of person who, after loving one person, can act like nothing happened and fall in love with two men instead?"

"His voice was cold, and his tone was even colder."

"Kikyo, who has always been gentle and kind to the world, now saw a more aggressive side of herself from Shirogane Miyuki, and he realized how much he had angered this gentle priestess."

"I am now a dead woman, and also a woman who loved a man."

Kikyo stretched out a hand, brushing away the gentle breeze. "To ask me, in this state, to fall in love with another man, to marry another man… even though I no longer want to hold onto Inuyasha, and it's all over between us. Don't you think this is the greatest insult to me, Miyuki Shirogane?"

"Under the sunlight, Shirogane Miyuki was speechless for a moment."

The Shuchiin student council was eerily silent.

Although everyone already knew Kikyo's character, it was only when this usually gentle and easy-going shrine maiden, contrary to her usual behavior, rebuked Shirogane Miyuki with a hostile attitude that everyone truly realized just how attractive Kikyo was.

Kaguya Shinomiya was speechless.

If Kikyo were to grant the student council president the opportunity to pursue her, then Kaguya Shinomiya would inevitably argue with him, which she thought would be the worst possible outcome.

But now, looking at the unwavering Kikyo, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a chill run down her spine, because she realized that even she herself felt admiration and longing for Kikyo at this moment.

If there is a truly perfect and flawless woman in the world, then without a doubt, it is Kikyo at this moment.

There's no need for doubt, no need for envy, and no one would think they could compare to you.

She exudes unparalleled charm; she is the epitome of authenticity, captivating all who behold her.

There were no Silver x Kikyo shippers... because at this moment, most men couldn't help but be captivated by Kikyo, and began to covet her, and also understood Onigumo's feelings.

In the village of Chinen, Inuyasha lowered his head, biting his lip until it bled.

He himself pushed away the loyal Kikyo, because he loved Kagome more, and thus truly abandoned Kikyo.

"What a completely unfit man and boyfriend, Inuyasha..." he murmured, but he didn't regret it, because even at this moment, he still loved Kagome more.

Kagome was just as terrified as Kaguya Shinomiya. She couldn't believe that she had managed to snatch Inuyasha away from the charming Kikyo.

In the dark area, Miss Chun was first stunned.

She quickly realized what was happening, and was overjoyed, ecstatic, and burst into laughter. Her lips curled into a wide grin. She couldn't believe it, her eyes shining, as if she had been hit by a gift from heaven!

606. The Naive and Sweet Chun

Sometimes she is cunning and treacherous, no less so than Naraku, but at other times, Miss Tsubaki is as innocent as a cute little girl.

She never imagined that Kikyo's unwavering and pure love would make others even more covetous of her. She was simply gratified, feeling that Kikyo had made the most sensible and correct decision in history by rejecting her own Miyuki.

One of the major sexual desires of men is to force women into prostitution, which actually reveals a deeper nature: the purer, more innocent, more chaste, and more unattainable a woman is, the more men want to possess her and the more they feel a sense of conquest.

The subjective part may not think this way, but subconsciously, it's a genetic impulse because the genes know that getting such a good woman would be extremely beneficial for reproduction.

Shirogane Miyuki was no exception.

Kagura may not understand this fundamental truth, but she does understand men, after all, she is an incarnation of Naraku.

However, seeing Tsubaki's overjoyed expression, nodding and muttering to herself, "If things continue like this, maybe I can let you off the hook, Kikyo," Kagura, who was hesitant to speak, ultimately kept her mouth tightly shut.

If I were to remind you of this, I'd probably die.

"I have nothing to say."

"Shirogane Miyuki originally thought that he didn't expect Kikyo to immediately accept his advances, but at least she wouldn't reject him so harshly. She could give him a few half-hearted rebukes, and then, over time, she would tacitly accept it and give him a chance to pursue her."

"But now it seems that he had greatly underestimated Kikyo's character. This flawless priestess's views on love were also incredibly loyal."

Even if she has been dumped by her ex-boyfriend and has decided to stop thinking about him, she still won't allow herself to fall in love with another man, nor does she want to be loved by another man.

"What pure love this is!"

"It's hard to describe in words. All he knows is that he suddenly felt a strong sense of envy, an intense envy of Inuyasha."

"Kikyo's level of pure love and loyalty is the only one he has ever seen. Not to mention Miyuki Shirogane, Kaguya Shinomiya, or Hachiman Hikigaya... no one can compare to Kikyo."

"No, Emilia and Rem should be able to, but they don't have a setting where they need to demonstrate that kind of pure love and loyalty."

"Therefore, it is the Kikyo that was shown that is most shocking."

Having witnessed such pure love and loyalty that shines like the sun, and having somewhat insulted Kikyo, he would normally apologize now and say that he no longer covets her or tries to pursue her.

"But at this moment, while being shaken, he also witnessed an unparalleled charm in him. Stumbling and bumping along the way, he was reluctant to cut off his chance to pursue Kikyo."

"Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath, forcing himself to give up on this idea and swearing that he would never covet it again."

"But just as he was about to speak, Kikyo's aura, which had been so intimidating, dissipated. She shook her head slightly and said, 'Don't say things you don't believe yourself. That's lying. I don't want you to become that kind of person, Shirogane Miyuki.'"

"Tell me those words again when you're willing to let me go."

"Her pure love, her loyalty, her understanding, her gentleness, are beyond description; Kikyo's heart is as vast and boundless as the universe."

"Shirogane Miyuki hesitated to speak, and then stopped himself from speaking. This was the first time in his life that he had felt such torment and uncertainty, and he didn't know what to do."

He could only nod silently, then moved away from the lake and strolled around a little further away to relax.

"Gulp... You, what are you doing making that drooling face? Your mouth is practically watering, shut up!"

At the Nakano residence, Uesugi Fuutarou shrank back slightly, but still bravely spoke up, despite being annoyed and glared at by Nino's nagging.

"Because Miss Kikyo is really amazing... If I could marry a wife like her, I would be willing to give up some of my study and work time. She is simply the perfect good wife, no, she is also very capable in public affairs, and she can definitely manage the finances well!"

Hearing this, Nino's anger surged even more, and she grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at him.

"Damn it! Stop daydreaming! You idiot, Uesugi, there's no such person as good as you as your wife! Wake up and go to bed!"

After scolding her, she ran upstairs to the second floor, slammed the door shut behind her in her room, startling Uesugi Fuutarou. He scratched his head, "Did I accidentally upset her again? Why does she sound a little tearful?"

"Well... I can't say there's absolutely none," Ichika said with a wry smile.

"Only my classmate."

"Wh-what?"

With her striking blue hair and undeniably adorable appearance, Fumino Furuhashi spoke solemnly, "Miss Kikyo has her good points, and other girls have theirs too. Remember that?"

“Oh, oh.” Yui nods blankly.

Meanwhile, at the Kosaka family home, a one-sided argument was reaching its most intense moment.

"No! No, no, no! You toad trying to eat swan meat, you might as well die, you worthless Kyosuke!"

Kirino Kousaka glared angrily and kept throwing various pillows and cushions at her brother, completely forgetting that she had just thought about being kinder to him and being more honest with him.

"What do you mean no? I have no feelings for Kikyo-san. I'm just an ordinary person. Of course I know I can't possibly meet my own Kikyo-san. In the end, there's only one Kikyo-san in the whole world."

Kyosuke Kousaka felt wronged and tried to defend himself, but Kirino Kousaka, upon hearing this, became even more furious: "So you really like this type of woman? Go to hell!"

He felt even more wronged... Kikyo was good, but in reality, the only person he liked was this tsundere little sister. He had never had any improper thoughts about Kikyo; he was just expressing his feelings.

But he dared not say these words aloud, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

At the same time, in the Classic Literature Club, Chitanda Eru pursed her lips, tiptoed nervously, and a hint of shyness flashed across her quiet and lovely face.

"Um..." her voice was very soft, "I also admire Kikyo's virtues, so... I can try my best too."

She glanced furtively at the boy beside her, wondering if he had heard her, but little did she know that at that moment, Oreki Houtarou was also glancing at her.

Their eyes met briefly before they looked away, both blushing.

Houtarou Oreki seemed to feel a little hot, shifted his shirt, and said in a low voice, "Well... everyone is different, they all have their own charm, and it doesn't necessarily have to be like that. Maybe it was already good enough..."

He wasn't sure if Chitanda Eru had heard him, but he didn't dare to glance over either.

Unseen by him, Chitanda Eru was first taken aback, then her eyes lit up with joy, her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she looked at the boy beside her who was just as shy as she was.

Within the Classical Literature Department, a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere is brewing, where both parties are interested in each other, yet it's completely devoid of melodrama.

607. I like... no, I love you all.

While the young members of the Classics Club were cautiously probing each other about "Chitanda being Chitanda would be the best," on Hachiman Hikigaya's side, it was already an unspoken understanding, with no need for words.

Without even glancing at each other, Anastasia knew that her prime minister must be thinking the same thing.

Because he likes Anastasia, Rem, Emilia, and Yukino Yukinoshita, not Kikyo.

No matter how good Kikyo is, as long as they are themselves, that's enough.

She was no different, even if in the future there might come a man who possessed Reinhard's strength, her own prime minister's wisdom and rationality, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's impeccable qualities, and Shirogane Miyuki's diligence and ambition, a man who combined all four into one.

Anastasia wouldn't even glance at it, wouldn't have the slightest interest.

As long as it's our own prime minister, it has to be our own prime minister.

Savoring the unspoken understanding between them, Hachiman Hikigaya embraced the slender waist of the adorable, cunning businesswoman in his arms, stroking her captivatingly textured pale purple hair.

If he had seen Kikyo before going to the world of Emilia, he believed he would have been so shocked that he would have stood up on the spot and been willing to pay any price to get close to Kikyo and talk to her.
