Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Because Shirogane Miyuki owes Tsubaki so much, so much that even before he has said anything, it has already made him breathless."

"Eight years..."

A slightly hoarse voice, a tone so weary it sounded like that of a dead person, and Miss Tsubaki laughed tremulously, "Eight years, Miyuki Shirogane, do you know how I spent those eight years?"

"Fifty years ago, Miss Tsubaki was proud, confident, spirited, and ambitious. It seemed that she owned the whole world. Every day she was radiant with sunshine, bringing a smile to people's faces."

"This same face, fifty years later, is lifeless, haggard, tired, and exhausted. Just one sentence from him makes Shirogane Miyuki's mind go blank. He clenches his teeth and does everything he can to stand up and not fall."

"Eight years? She waited for eight years?...At that shrine, she waited a full eight years!?"

"Eight years, fifty years, I miss you, I miss you so much, Yuyuki. I really miss you, I think about you every day, and when I close my eyes, you're in my dreams."

Miss Tsubaki raised her left hand, placed it on her chest, and sighed softly with delight, "I almost forgot what you looked like, so I drew your image with my shikigami, hid it, and took it out whenever I wanted. Just looking at it once makes me happy for a whole day, Miyuki."

"Pat, pat."

She was mesmerized, scrutinizing the man before her. "You haven't changed, Yu Xing."

"Shirogane Miyuki, upon being glanced at by her, felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. He averted his gaze, momentarily unable to meet the black witch's eyes. It took the power of his entire soul to utter the words: 'The Well of Bones has failed! I was originally from fifty years in the future, and now that it's failed... I can't find you.'"

"It sounds like a scumbag's excuse to shirk responsibility."

"But Shirogane Miyuki had no other choice. He had better tell the truth. He had to let Miss Tsubaki know that this bastard who had made her wait for eight years and wasted fifty years of her life was not beyond redemption and was not someone who was not worth waiting for."

"Perhaps this can offer some solace, assuring us that Miss Tsubaki isn't wasting her time."

"After saying those words with all his might, as gently and shamefully as possible, Shirogane Miyuki was breathing heavily."

"Miss Chun was silent at first, then chuckled softly, and then let out a sneer. A mocking arc appeared in her eyes as she opened her arms."

"She didn't say anything. The next second, the shikigami was summoned. They were two giant birds. One of them picked up the silver bird in its claws and flew into the sky. The other carried Miss Tsubaki on its back and flapped its wings into the sky."

"Under the sunlight, Miss Tsubaki's black shrine maiden outfit is quite unique."

625. The moment before the proposal

"When the Well of First Bone failed, and Shirogane Miyuki kept jumping into the well, his anxiety was palpable."

"What will happen if Miss Tsubaki never sees him again? Will Miss Tsubaki understand sooner that he will never appear again? Will Miss Tsubaki be able to successfully forget him and happily continue being the proud Miss Tsubaki, without being affected by this person who broke his promise?"

"His biggest fear at the time was that Miss Chun would wait for months, or even a year or two, because of that note before she would be disheartened and face reality."

"The longer Miss Tsubaki wastes her youth, the more regretful she will become."

"...Later, he was still afraid, still terrified of this matter."

"It's just that he couldn't find Miss Tsubaki from fifty years in the future no matter how hard he looked, so he hid this worry in the deepest part of his heart, in a corner that he dared not look up."

"It's not that Shirogane Miyuki has never wronged anyone in his life, but all the remorse he has ever felt is far less than the remorse he has felt towards Tsubaki."

"He had thought many times about the possibility of meeting Miss Tsubaki again fifty years later."

"Perhaps one day he will be at a corner and suddenly be stunned, seeing an old man with white hair sitting in the doorway of a house. He will be stunned and walk over step by step."

The old man paused for a moment, then said in a hesitant tone, "Shirogane...Miyuki?"

"He started crying, and suddenly burst into tears, kneeling down on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Then he was comforted and scolded, 'How old are you? Why are you still crying?'"

The old man talked a lot in bits and pieces, then he felt relieved and said, "I only waited for a month. It's not like you're thinking so much. I'm not stupid." That put his mind at ease.

"He never imagined that he would see Miss Tsubaki again, exactly the same as the last time he saw her when they parted ways."

"Youthful, beautiful, pretty, and lovely, she's still the same person, still the captivating Miss Chun, not some old lady at all."

"Eight years, eight years..."

Hooked by bird claws, flying towards the sky, Shirogane Miyuki murmured, "Eight years, fifty years, no wonder, no wonder..."

"Miss Tsubaki, riding on the bird's back, looked at Shirogane Miyuki like this, a slight ripple appeared in her eyes, but it was immediately suppressed, revealing a ruthless indifference. With a command, the bird's claws released her."

"Shirogane Miyuki felt the inertia of falling endlessly from the sky; he felt like a cannonball about to explode."

"After falling hundreds of meters, the shikigami swooped down and hooked onto his clothes again, causing him to go from falling to taking off in a second, and his body was impacted."

"This teasing continued again and again until the shikigami lowered to a suitable height, received the order, stopped using its demonic power to maintain its tattered clothes, and released its bird claws."

"Shirogane Miyuki's shirt was torn to shreds, scattering in the air like fireworks, while he himself was a meteor more dazzling than those fireworks, falling straight down from a hundred meters in the sky and crashing heavily to the ground."

"During this time, Shirogane Miyuki simply murmured those few words with a sorrowful look in his eyes and an expression that was both crying and laughing, without making any move to resist, as if he did not care about his life or death at all."

"This is fake."

"He just knew that. He just knew that Miss Tsubaki had definitely calculated the height and would never let him fall to his death."

"—Because no matter how much she changes, as long as Miss Tsubaki is still Miss Tsubaki, she will always be this kind of person."

"Pfft, cough cough..."

"His internal organs felt like they were being displaced, and he barely managed to stand up. He looked around and saw that this was a place he knew very well. In front of him was the shrine where he had lived for two years."

"I've been waiting for you for so long, Miyuki."

"Miss Tsubaki, who jumped down from the bird's back, stood to one side, gazing at the shrine with feigned indifference. She stretched out one hand, stirring her spiritual energy, which was at least twice as strong as it was fifty years ago."

"One strike, just one strike, and she can completely destroy this shrine that should never have existed in the first place, turning it into ruins, or even razing it to the ground—it would be an easy task."

"It's such a simple thing, so why can't I bring myself to do it, just like fifty years ago?"

"Kikyo, Natsumi...you hate me, don't you?" Tsubaki kicked Shirogane Miyuki, knocking him over. She bent down, her eyes dark and menacing. "You hate me, don't you, Miyuki? If I were dead, if I hadn't appeared, wouldn't someone like me, discarded like trash yet thought so important to you, shouldn't have existed? You must be thinking that, right?"

"Shirogane Miyuki is temporarily unable to speak."

"He wanted to grab Miss Tsubaki's leg, trying to express his meaning through body language."

"Miss Tsubaki didn't give him that chance. With a command, the shikigami hooked up Shirogane Miyuki again, flapped its wings, and flew high into the sky. The black shrine maiden's voice was like that of the deepest hell, filled with hatred: "The person I hate the most, the person I despise the most... Kikyo, even you will be taken away by her. Everything, everything, she is better than me! Better than me!"

"Shirogane Miyuki, I'll make you watch with your own eyes! I'll make you see that bitch Kikyo, whom you love so much, be killed by my own hand!"

"She already knew Kikyo's whereabouts through Naraku."

"With the destination clear, the shikigami's speed increased to the maximum. Shirogane Miyuki was quickly thrown off again, but this time he did not roll and crash to the ground. Instead, Kikyo, who had noticed this, reached out and caught him, gently laying him horizontally on the ground, which reduced a lot of damage."

"Miss Chun's seemingly indifferent eyes flickered with an arc of resentment and jealousy."

Kikyo glanced at Shirogane Miyuki's severe injuries, her expression serious. Without a word, she drew her bow, pointing the arrow at the approaching figure: "The Black Witch Tsubaki."

"The most renowned and powerful priestess of the last fifty years still remembers my name. Should I be flattered?"

"Miss Tsubaki, it's been fifty years since we last met. Your insults have improved somewhat. You can maintain a facade of indifference even when facing Shirogane Miyuki, but you can't keep up the act in front of Kikyo. You can't help but let out a blunt sneer: 'What do you want, you shameless woman who's been resurrected with this kind of magic? To come back and enjoy being flattered by men? Or do you prefer to come back and sleep with men?'"

Kikyo remained completely unmoved by her slander, focused intently on Tsubaki's next question, which would determine her actions: "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Ha, ha ha ha ha."

Miss Tsubaki laughed, a laugh that twisted her face, and screamed, "—To avenge the grudge from fifty years ago, Kikyo!"

626. Kikyo's Assist

If a brother takes his sister out, but they are separated in a busy street, no matter how much he shouts or tries his best to go against the flow, he can never find his sister again.

A month, a year, ten years, a lifetime have passed since then.

Even on the day he dies, as long as the older brother is a sentimental person, he will still remember his sister, mourn her whereabouts, and blame himself for his decision to go out that day.

He would fantasize about how his sister was doing. What if she had been kidnapped by human traffickers, or what if she had died in some accident in some forgotten corner?

As he thought about it, his brother would unconsciously burst into tears and sob uncontrollably.

This thorn will never be removed until I see my sister again; it will be imprinted in my mind and haunt me for the rest of my life.

Miyuki Shirogane believes he is undoubtedly lucky; at this moment, he is undoubtedly the luckiest and happiest person in the world.

He was scared, he was really scared, terrified.

Even if the future video broadcast covers the entire sky of the Inuyasha world, what's the point if Miss Tsubaki no longer exists fifty years from now?

If Miss Chun is already very old, what kind of regrets will she have for the rest of her life?

Who can guarantee that after the world merges, he can still travel back fifty years through the Well of Bones to rekindle his romance with the still naive and the world's number one Chun?

“That’s wonderful, wonderful… wonderful, Miss Tsubaki.”

Trembling slightly, Shirogane Miyuki felt a lump in his throat and his nose stung.

From the moment he inadvertently parted ways with Miss Tsubaki and saw her waiting alone at the Well of Bones for eight long years, he was deeply shocked and had been accumulating this emotion ever since.

Miss Tsubaki is still alive, Miss Tsubaki is forever young, Miss Tsubaki is as she always has been.

When that version of Tsubaki met his future self again, Shirogane Miyuki was speechless. If he could, he would definitely beat up his future self together with Tsubaki.

No, I could even beat up my current self.

As the price for Miss Tsubaki's eight-year wait—no, fifty-year wait—the attack he suffered was far too light, so light as to be negligible.

After the Well of Bones failed, both he in the future and he in the present carried a heavy burden in his heart, embracing this broken and incomplete accident.

The reason he didn't mention it much was because he felt guilty. The more he deliberately hid and avoided it, the more it proved that he was ashamed to recall it, not that he had forgotten or was indifferent.

Now, he can finally break free from this constraint without any hesitation and reach the reality of the full moon.

"However, while she genuinely wants revenge, it's clear that Miss Tsubaki is more interested in punishing Kikyo for 'stealing a man'."

Crusch saw through everything.

She is straight, that's true, but that only applies to herself. She can usually tell what other people are thinking, after all, an outsider's perspective is clearer.

On the other hand, the resentment of waiting for fifty years alone is not enough to make Miss Tsubaki punish Shirogane Miyuki so severely. No matter how much love turns to hate, in the end, love still accounts for the majority of her feelings.

Most importantly, Naraku's deception led to Miss Tsubaki, who had waited for fifty years, witnessing the evidence with her own eyes.

She was devoted to Shirogane Miyuki, but after he appeared, he never looked for her and instead flirted with other women, even trying to date her nemesis Kikyo.

Driven by sadness and disappointment, Miss Chun resorted to violence, yet she didn't show any satisfaction in taking revenge on the scumbag. Instead, she acted strangely and somewhat contradictorily.

In short, Crusch wasn't worried at all.

Far from being worried, she nodded slightly, smiled, and prepared to witness Miss Chun's secret crush on him, her fifty-year-long love story finally coming to a victory.

Women understand women best, just as Crusch knew that no matter how outrageous Hachiman-sensei's actions were, she would never stop loving him.

No matter what extreme actions Miss Chun takes, she will always be clear about her intentions and walk the right path.

Now that these two people have reunited after fifty years, there is no longer any suspense or other possibility regarding their romance.
