Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to consider a certain possibility, and her body suddenly stiffened."

The helpless, almost tearful girl held her breath and asked cautiously, "Hachiman... is my knight, right? Right?"

"If Hachiman Hikigaya answers no, she will absolutely never forgive Crusch!"

"If you don't mind... I'll always be."

"Hachiman Hikigaya wanted to answer that he was no longer qualified, but after the conversation at the mansion in the last loop, he already knew how much Emilia valued 'her knight'... Answering no would probably hurt her even more."

"This hit Hachiman Hikigaya's weak spot perfectly, preventing him from saying anything self-destructive."

"As always, when she heard that Crusch hadn't taken away her only knight, Emilia's joyful face was so beautiful that it was hard to look away, and she had the same healing power as Rem."

Sensing Hachiman Hikigaya's emotions, Puck scolded helplessly, "It's best not to show that guilty expression for no reason. For Ria's sake, I'll prepare for the worst."

"Hachiman Hikigaya paused for a moment, his eyes darting around."

"The better Emilia treated him, the faster and more his guilt and shame about being banished returned."

"But there's no time for him to apologize or feel guilty; we must first annihilate the Witch Cult."

"Regarding Petritch, the Archbishop of Sloth," Hachiman Hikigaya abruptly interrupted the girl's tirade of praise and trust, "come with me and defeat him, Emilia. We'll go with Julius."

"Do you need my power? Hmm, I understand."

Even when faced with such abrupt treatment, Emilia remained incredibly gentle, and her heart was filled with joy.

"Being able to be assigned tasks by Hachiman Hikigaya, being able to fight alongside him, and not being a useless puppet protected in the back by him... Emilia feels at ease and satisfied with this."

"So I'm wondering what kind of idiot would turn away someone like Emilia!"

Kei Shirogane first admired Rem and Emilia... Their personalities, habits, and styles were admired not only by men but also by women.

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to be such a near-perfect person that makes others feel ashamed of themselves just by looking at them?

But then Shirogane Kei remembered that before Hachiman Hikigaya appeared, almost everyone in that other world seemed to be ostracizing and rejecting Emilia.

"Hmph, I really hope those people can see this future too, so they can see how morally superior Emilia is, and those blind fools will regret it to death!"

Yes, what normal person wouldn't feel indignant for such a wonderful Emilia?

While those on Earth were filled with righteous indignation at being captured by Emilia, those in the Kingdom of Lugunica, who had rejected Emilia, were stiff-faced and utterly ashamed.

Although they had already begun to reflect on their actions... the more Emilia's virtuous conduct was demonstrated, the heavier the burden became for these people.

In the village, Petra murmured thankfully, "Thank goodness for Lord Hachiman."

"If it weren't for Lord Hachiman, Lady Emilia would probably have continued to be misunderstood."

"So...please don't blame yourself so much, Lord Hachiman!"

"Just like last time, place the agreed-upon items outside Betty's door. Half of the residents will be taken to the capital by the earth dragon for refuge, and the other half will be taken to the Sanctuary by Ram to save their lives."

"Hachiman Hikigaya, relying on his memory, ordered Wilhelm to lead the soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the witch cultists whose hiding places were exposed after the start of the battle in the last cycle. In short, the goal is to minimize Petritchus's spare bodies, otherwise killing him himself would be pointless and just a waste of energy."

"But before they could wipe out all the witch cultists through a sneak attack, Petitchius, who seemed to have internal communication channels, appeared and was about to lead the witch cult in a counterattack."

"And this time..."

"Hachiman Hikigaya has looked into it. The micro-spirit of Julius's contract allows him to share vision with himself, but it cannot achieve the result of a third person being able to see the invisible hand by sharing vision with another person through Julius."

"In other words, Emilia and Puck were in a very dangerous situation during the battle against Petitchius, practically blind."

"Even so, Hachiman Hikigaya still let Emilia participate in the battle... because Emilia said that she had a reason to win the royal selection."

"Then she must obtain the honor of killing the Archbishop of Sin."

"We must protect Emilia, and we must help Emilia fulfill her wish... We must accomplish both!"

"Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya drew his sword."

"Emilia, give it your all, don't hold back, use all your offensive magic on Petritchius. That's all you need to do, without any distractions—I'll always be there for you, I'll protect you, I won't let you suffer even the slightest harm again, this time… absolutely!"

91. My adoptive father is not as good as my boyfriend.

"Sloth! Negligence! Your lack of thorough preparation led to my discovery; you are far from diligent! You are far too lazy!"

"The mad Petitchius seemed to care nothing for his own life or death and that of his fingers. Even when faced with an enemy that had annihilated a large number of his men, he still had the mind to give diligent instruction."

"The Power of Sloth - The Invisible Hand!"

"A streak of light, like a shooting star, bursts forth in the air, followed by a series of dazzling meteors. With his body twisting and unleashing all his physical power, Julius's sword, like a dazzling meteor shower, accurately severed all of Petitsch's attacking arms."

"Emilia, now—Emilia?"

"Hachiman Hikigaya's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head. Emilia, who should have been working in perfect harmony, had a look of confusion on her face. Her hands were already pouring all their magic into them, but an undeniable sense of hesitation deep in her mind was stopping her from moving."

"How could this be? How could I...feel this way?"

Emilia trembled in surprise. She touched her cheek with her soft hand and found that two lines of tears had unknowingly streamed down her face, filled with a mix of heartache and excitement that she herself could not understand.

"Emilia!"

"The stunned Emilia, an invisible hand that had slipped past Julius's net, suddenly brought the girl's attention back to reality. The spurting blood sprayed before her eyes, incredibly glaring."

"Lia!"

"In the blink of an eye, Hachiman Hikigaya's reaction was faster than Puck's. He grabbed Emilia, who had suddenly lost in thought, and did his best to protect the girl and keep her safe."

"Pettyius, driven mad by the sight of the trial target, bent over at a ninety-degree angle, in a hostile stance, yet he laughed heartily with satisfaction, praising: 'Diligence! Love! Making up for previous laziness with love and diligence, truly a believer in favor!!'"

"With his shoulder blade crushed, Hachiman Hikigaya was in so much pain that cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he had no time to pay attention to the madman's incoherent ramblings."

He quickly shouted to Julius, who was watching them, "Don't worry about me! I'm fine! Take care of yourself, Julius!"

"He couldn't even encourage Emilia, who had inexplicably lost her will to fight, at this moment. He had to keep an eye on Petitchius at all times and provide Julius with a view."

"If it's too much to handle, you and Parker can go and deal with the other witch cultists now, Emilia."

"It was the first time we had such intimate contact. Our bodies were completely pressed together, and we didn't even bother to hide our private parts through our thin clothes."

"But neither Hachiman Hikigaya nor Emilia are in any ambiguous or romantic relationship at this moment."

"On the eve of the attack, Emilia's careful observation of Petitchius's appearance stirred up memories that seemed extremely distant or even non-existent, causing a complex mix of emotions to spread through her body."

"She looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was breathing heavily and almost gasping for breath, and her eyes were filled with shock and unparalleled tenderness."

"—That wound, that wound! I wouldn't have gotten hurt like that! It's all because of her!!"

"What's going on? Emilia may be kind, but when it comes to killing, she's never held back before, has she?"

The Kousaka family was stunned and at a loss for what to do. Even Kousaka Kyosuke, if Emilia didn't give a good explanation for this, would probably switch his support to Rem.

"Isn't Emilia setting a trap? They had everything planned out, but then she just stood there spacing out after the battle started. If she makes even the slightest mistake, either she or Hachiman will die!"

Those who can see into the future can tolerate things like the Bowel Hunter and the Witch's Teachings, since the fault doesn't lie with Emilia, but with these lunatics.

But it's astonishing how Emilia is dragging Hachiman down like this; just watching it makes me angry for Hachiman.

This caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Kingdom of Lugunica.

Those around Emilia cast rather displeased glances at her... but no one condemned her for it; one mistake by the girl could not negate all the good character she had shown before.

However, everyone was indeed feeling resentful for Hachiman Hikigaya.

Emilia is great, of course, but who doesn't like Hachiman Hikigaya?

Even Parker couldn't help but ask gently, "Lia, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." Emilia herself was extremely surprised. She looked at Petitchius carefully, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. "But... Petitchius, I seem to... I seem to know him?"

This feeling actually came to her the moment she first saw Petitchius, but it was rather faint because her mind was more focused on Hachiman, and she hadn't actually faced Petitchius face to face.

But now…

"Could he... be connected to my past?" Emilia could no longer ignore the stirring in her heart.

“Jules…” Betty looked up at the light screen in the sky from the entrance of the forbidden library, her eyes dim.

The arrogant and rude Priscilla sneered at the same time, "Hmph, a half-demon should indeed commit suicide to atone for his sins. If Hachiman Hikigaya still had eyes, he should obediently come and seek refuge with me, begging for my shelter."

At the Carlsten mansion, Crusch was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Grabbing Felix, she exclaimed ecstatically, "See? See? Phyllis, I told you! It's best for Lord Hachiman to be with me! I won't be a burden to him and cause him serious injury!"

Felix hummed in agreement. "Of course Phyllis agrees with that, meow. But it seems that Hachiman doesn't have any aversion to Lady Emilia, meow."

"After all, he is Lord Hachiman!"

"Yes, after all, he is Lord Hachiman."

Crusch and Wilhelm spoke in unison, their words coming from the heart.

Just as Emilia was trembling, Parker quickly floated over: "Eria, calm down!"

"Calm down, that's right, calm down!"

Emilia anxiously cast a weaker ice spell on Hachiman Hikigaya to slow his cell activity, reduce the spread of his wounds, and decrease the rate of bleeding.

"Hachiman Hikigaya, powerless, could no longer hold her."

"Ignoring the fact that her gorgeous dress was stained with Hachiman Hikigaya's blood and looked terrifying, Emilia turned to look at the laughing Petitschius, her face as terrifying as her dress."

"Parker!"
