Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

Shirogane Miyuki shook his head, then lashed out at a certain fishing village: "If the villagers are as stupid and wicked as the fishermen on Shiori's side, beyond redemption, then there's nothing I can do."

Half-demon, half-demon.

There are definitely more than just Izumo and his group of half-demons in dire straits around the world. Shirogane Miyuki only hopes that after this video is broadcast, the people of the Inuyasha world will begin to realize that half-demons are not necessarily bad.

Moreover, he had already decided that once the world was integrated, the first thing he, Shirogane Miyuki, would do was to vigorously promote the elimination of discrimination and humiliation against half-demons.

Of course, it's not about providing extreme protection for all half-demons, nor will there be any preferential treatment. Everyone is equal, and if there are half-demons who rob and kill, they will be killed.

621. An eerie, resentful gaze

"Shirogane Miyuki's focus remained on finding Naraku until he resolved Izumo's whereabouts."

"But for some reason, after that, he suddenly began to feel as if there was an incomparably resentful gaze, mixed with hatred and covetousness, haunting him and watching him all the time."

"The emotion in that gaze was so intense that Shirogane Miyuki felt like he was being pricked by thorns, and even had difficulty breathing, with cold sweat slowly trickling down his forehead."

"Strangely, none of Inuyasha and the others felt the gaze. They could only watch inexplicably as Shirogane Miyuki suddenly tensed up, becoming restrained and nervous, completely unable to understand it."

"Miroku thought it might be some kind of ghostly, spirit-type specialized demon causing trouble, so he laid out a lot of talismans and had Inuyasha sniff around to see if there were any hidden demons nearby."

"But neither of them succeeded and returned empty-handed. These methods neither uncovered the mastermind nor blocked that surveillance."

"Shirogane Miyuki is under a lot of pressure. If this weren't a world where ghosts and monsters roam everywhere, he would definitely think he has a mental illness."

"Since we can't find the source of the gaze, we're all at a loss for the time being. Fortunately, this gaze is only a mental pressure and doesn't have any real effect on the body, so Shirogane Miyuki is doing alright for now."

"It's just that the terrifying gaze, which is fixed on him 24 hours a day, makes him unable to let go of anything. Over time, it's also very inconvenient and he becomes a little listless."

Xia Lan looked at it and thought, "Isn't this just right?"

"Shirogane Miyuki's self-care ability has declined due to his low spirits, so she went to ask Sango and Kagome for advice and then went to take care of Shirogane Miyuki."

"A girl who is infatuated with someone she loves but cannot get will naturally receive more pity in the eyes of others. So even though Inuyasha and the others could take care of Shirogane Miyuki, they still gave the opportunity to Xia Lan."

"Everyone thinks Xia Lan is pretty good. She's easy to get along with, and she's really good to Shirogane Yuki, so they're secretly giving her a helping hand."

"You brat, how dare you!"

"Traitors and rebels deserve to be punished by everyone!"

In the village of Jinenji, the adorable Momiji and Botan had reached their breaking point. They could tolerate the group's previous attempts to matchmake Shirogane Miyuki and Kikyo, since Inuyasha himself was also a victim and felt sorry for them.

But just as one wave subsided, another arose. Are they in such a hurry to settle the share of Shirogane Miyuki's wives? Do they really think that Miss Tsubaki's faction is easy to bully?

Enough is enough! There's no need to endure it any longer!

Taking out their magical artifacts, scattering talismans, and channeling their spiritual power, the two adorable apprentice priestesses were about to give Inuyasha and the others a good beating.

"Calm down! Calm down, you two. It's true that we were wrong, but when Senior Shirogane mentioned Miss Tsubaki before, he only mentioned her briefly. We in the future had no idea that he and Miss Tsubaki had such a deep relationship for two years!"

Kagome, carrying a bow and arrows, hid behind Inuyasha while trying to reassure him guiltily.

"Yeah, besides, even if Tsubaki isn't dead by now, she'll be an old woman by now. You two should just give up now," Inuyasha said, pursing his lips.

This only added fuel to the fire. Kagome felt there was no way to save them, so she decided to sacrifice one person for the happiness of many others: "Inuyasha, sit down!"

thump.

Inuyasha was immediately overwhelmed and collapsed to the ground, unable to move. He was about to question Kagome when he looked up and found that Kagome had already led Shippo and the others far away.

He was left alone there, being beaten by two tearful red peony leaves covered with talismans.

The two girls weren't very powerful, and the talismans they made could only hurt Inuyasha a little, not really injure him. That's why Kagome left him behind to draw attention away from Inuyasha.

"But Shirogane Miyuki only occasionally accepted some aid and did not give Xia Lan a chance to succeed."

"I don't know why, but whenever he accepts Xia Lan's help, the gaze that's been secretly watching him suddenly erupts, revealing an even more oppressive sense of resentment and anger."

"Hmph—whoosh."

This is the seemingly magnanimous Kaguya Shinomiya and the unabashedly stingy Tsubaki, two people in different places, sharing the same reaction.

Inuyasha, however, got up confidently, baring his teeth and saying, "Then I just got beaten up for nothing? Hey, you two brats!"

The red-leafed peony has vanished in an instant.

Even with such assistance, Xia Lan made no progress, so the student council members completely stopped paying attention to her and focused their energy on investigating what exactly was going on with that gaze.

"Could this be Naraku's scheme? It's possible."

"It's possible, but... what would he be after?"

Everyone was completely baffled.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya and Houtarou Oreki, being meticulous and insightful, had already guessed the answer before the facts were revealed. They all raised their eyebrows and sat up straight.

If they're right, a major accident is likely on the horizon.

""Naraku! ""

"Unusually, just as Shirogane Miyuki was suffering from the torment of stares, Naraku appeared, leading Saigeki and a large group of small-time demons, along with Kagura, and launched a surprise attack."

"This is very illogical, because every time he appears, Inuyasha can easily find his base by following his scent, which is why he appeared less often in the past."

"What are the needs and benefits this time, and can they outweigh the risks?"

"Shirogane Miyuki had no time to think and quickly joined the battle. That bunch of small fry and the most powerful one seemed to be just there to delay Inuyasha and the others, while Naraku and Kagura focused their attacks on him alone."

"In a one-on-one fight, Shirogane Miyuki is no longer afraid of Naraku, but Kagura is there to cause trouble. It's true that his spiritual power is stronger than Inuyasha's demonic power, but he doesn't have the same tankiness as Inuyasha to withstand Kagura's hurricane."

"With this disruption, he couldn't concentrate on killing Naraku. During Kagura's next attack, Xia Lan killed all the small fry blocking his way and came to take the hit for him."

"Enough, let's retreat." Naraku gave a sinister laugh and turned to leave.

Before leaving, Kagura glanced longingly at Shirogane Miyuki, and scoffed. Her tone was one of disappointment, as if she was frustrated that Shirogane Miyuki hadn't seized the opportunity when Naraku himself appeared to kill it.

"Naraku and his gang came out of nowhere and left very quickly, leaving behind only a pile of small monsters and the corpse of the most powerful demon."

"The only result was that Xia Lan was slightly injured; the rest of the team was unharmed."

622. Fifty years later, Miss Chun's long-awaited reunion

In the new base.

Wuxin Gui trembled with fear. He felt that Naraku had returned empty-handed, suffered a loss, and lost face in front of the whole world. He was sure Naraku would be furious and take it out on him.

However, just as he was bracing himself for being scolded or even beaten, something incredible happened.

Instead of being angry, Naraku stared at the inexplicable future situation for a while before bursting into laughter.

"Shirogane Miyuki, Shirogane Miyuki, you kill by destroying the spirit, you kill by destroying the spirit. This time I'll see how you get past my Naraku's scheme, and how you deal with the ally I've brought in this time, hehe."

"After the battle, Shirogane Miyuki and the others thought about it again and again, but they still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Naraku. The organization's all-out offensive was really too anticlimactic."

"Moreover, because of this confrontation, Inuyasha even excitedly said that he could smell Naraku much more clearly, and it seemed that he could vaguely find Naraku's lair."

Miroku, well aware of Naraku's treachery, said, "Perhaps this is why he came. He has already laid many traps in his lair, just waiting for us to arrive."

"However, having finally obtained a clue to eradicate the threat completely, we have to go even if it's a trap. Besides, with two divine weapons in hand, once we get to the lair, we can just fire a few area-of-effect attacks from a distance and raze the place to the ground a few times. I don't believe there will be many traps left."

"Even so, for safety's sake, I'll contact Kikyo." Shirogane Miyuki suggested this backup plan, and after a moment of silence, Inuyasha and the others agreed.

"Logically, he should have a companion since he's being watched by strange eyes. But apart from Inuyasha, no one else can keep up with his demon-like physical abilities. Every second counts, and we can't slow down. But Inuyasha can't leave Kagome, so there's no other way."

"Before going to find Kikyo, Shirogane Miyuki also visited Natsumi. After his act of shielding her from injury, he can now regard Natsumi as a half-comrade."

"But that's all. He won't like her."

"Why don't you choose a different target, Xia Lan?"

On the leopard cat's territory, the gentle Chunlan nudged Xialan and said cautiously, "He really doesn't seem to like your style. It must be difficult."

"Absolutely impossible! Don't try to persuade me anymore!"

Xia Lan waved her hand, much more stubborn than Bai Yin Yuxing.

"Summon the Soul-Slaying Insects. Miyuki Shirogane is going to find Kikyo and together we'll follow the route Inuyasha found to Naraku's base to eliminate this source of all evil."

"But unlike last time, this time for some reason, the Dead Soul Worm hesitated. It floated in place, looking in this direction for a while, and then looking in that direction for a while."

"It's like there are Kikyo in two directions."

"After hesitating for a long time, it finally set off, choosing one of the directions that was closer to here. As Shirogane Miyuki followed behind, he thought that perhaps there was Kikyo's shikigami or related items in another direction, which misled the dead soul worms."

"Compared to last time, this time the bellflower seems to be very close. The dead soul insects only flew for a day before stopping, which means they have arrived at their destination."

"This is deep in a dense forest, thick with fog. Kikyo stands in front, her back turned. She is wearing the classic red and white shrine maiden outfit, and there is a familiar aura about her."

"Shirogane Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief. The closer he got to this place, the less the gaze he had been feeling over the past few days seemed to disappear."

"It must be Kikyo's spiritual power that frightened the possible yokai, causing it to run away. His mind has been tense for so long, and he can finally relax a bit."

"Orange—"

"After we parted ways, I thought about a lot of things."

"I wanted to discuss cooperating to gang up on Naraku and the matter of the demons in sight," but before Shirogane Miyuki could speak, Kikyo in front of him said coldly, "You don't love me, but you really like me, which is why you confessed to me."

Shirogane Miyuki was taken aback. Why bring this up again?

"I'm not that shameless, promiscuous woman... That's what I told you back then," Kikyo continued. "But perhaps, trying a new future is the only way I can truly forget the sorrow of the past."

"What...does this mean?" Shirogane Miyuki held his breath.

"I witnessed something, something that changed my mind, Miyuki Shirogane."

Kikyo stirred, as if about to turn around. "Do you still like me? Do you still want to pursue me? ...What would you think if I took back what I said before?"

"Shirogane Miyuki's first reaction was to take out the talismans from his pocket and scatter them around. Some of them fell on Kikyo. Seeing that they did not show any signs of burning, he was certain that this was not an illusion, and that this Kikyo was not a demon in disguise."

"After confirming this, his heart started beating faster."

"Shirogane Miyuki felt his mouth was dry."

"If...if Kikyo changes her mind and intends to marry him, will he still be able to resist the urge to covet her?"

"Are you... really Kikyo?"

Kikyo didn't answer that foolish question, but her silhouette seemed to show a hint of loneliness for that instant.
