Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

Clean and efficient, you'll never miss out on anything because of shyness again.

She hugged Hachiman Hikigaya tightly and kissed him on the lips.

Yukino Yukinoshita, the phoenix rising from the ashes.

123. The awareness of living a life of widowhood

Like fleeting shadows, various requests that help Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita build their relationship and deepen their feelings appear rapidly in the video, then disappear one by one, and finally the camera focuses on an aerial view of Soubu High School.

Hachiman Hikigaya, after leaving the school, never looked back.

When these past events were revealed, the laughter of those who had supported Rem and Emilia, celebrating Yukino's transformation into a loser, came to an abrupt end.

"Yukinoshita is to Hikigaya as Hikigaya is to Yukinoshita... Both of them were meeting someone they liked for the first time in their lives, and with the most sincere and pure feelings, they cautiously tested each other over the long days, trying to get closer..."

Miyuki Shirogane muttered to himself, he was provoked, he was provoked by Yukinoshita's last scene of crying alone at the table.

"If Hachiman hadn't traveled through time, perhaps in another six months, or perhaps in another year or two, these two people would have realized their feelings, confessed, and then lived happily ever after."

"Yukinoshita...is undoubtedly a good girl worth cherishing, and one of the rarest girls who truly cherishes feelings."

"Just like me and Shinomiya..."

At that moment, Miyuki Shirogane felt an overwhelming urge to run and see Kaguya Shinomiya.

He absolutely did not want himself, or Kaguya Shinomiya, to end up like Yuki.

Just as she was thinking this, she felt her sleeve being tugged by her younger sister. Shirogane Kei looked dejected and said sadly, "Poor Yukinoshita-senpai! She was the one who came first, Rem and Emilia were the third wheel!"

"When it comes to feelings, there's no such thing as first come, first served, Xiao Gui."

Shirogane Miyuki sighed and comforted his sister.

At the Kousaka residence, Kirino Kousaka watched, tears streaming down her face. Witnessing this separation, this farewell, the girl's sensitive heart was nearly torn apart.

"Yukinoshita-senpai was abandoned... How pitiful, how sad... Didn't Hachiman-senpai have even the slightest bit of affection for Yukinoshita-senpai? Did they have to be so heartless!"

Having seen the future for so long, Kirino Kousaka felt dissatisfied with Hachiman Hikigaya for the first time.

Kyosuke Kosaka was also feeling terrible. Whether he was in the shoes of Hachiman Hikigaya or Yukinoshita, he felt like a string playing a mournful tune, which was heartbreaking.

But he knew more than his willful sister.

“He has to be ruthless, Kirino.” Kousaka Kyosuke shook his head and explained, “Have you forgotten what Hachiman said when he was confessing to Rem?”

Kirino Kousaka was taken aback. She remembered that back then, there were people on the street who were shouting that Hachiman Hikigaya was too indecisive and a waste, and felt sorry for Rem.

At that time, Hachiman Hikigaya said that if he would ever accept Rem's confession, it would be after he had said goodbye to the first girl he had ever loved.

"Hachiman has made his decision. For Rem's sake, he must completely reject Yukinoshita." Kyosuke Kosaka sighed. He was truly shocked by Hachiman Hikigaya's seriousness about love. "This is actually to sever his own lingering feelings for Yukinoshita. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to love Rem wholeheartedly."

"That kind of thing... compared to Hikigaya, it's unfair to Rem, and he doesn't deserve Rem's love."

He smiled bitterly, "Hachigaya chose Rem. Even though Rem is now in a vegetative state. If Rem never wakes up, he will stay by Rem's body for the rest of his life and treat Rem as his wife."

"He has already come to terms with living like a widow!"

Kyosuke Kousaka felt a deep sense of dread... If he could reject Hachiman Hikigaya in Yukinoshita, would he accept Emilia later?

"I'm amazed by your views on love. You're really amazing, Hikigaya-kun... But I'd much rather see you have a wonderful future with a harem!"

ended.

Hachiman Hikigaya's first love, Yukinoshita, withdrew from the relationship.

However, neither Ram nor Parker seemed to have the same ease they had before.

Cold sweat beaded on Ram's forehead. "This is not to be underestimated. Ram was too complacent. This is not a loser we can just sit idly by... Although she can't compare to Rem's depth, Yukino has received a lot of affection from him."

"If Rem hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, and if the fact that only Hachiman Hikigaya remembered and loved Rem hadn't forced him to make such a decisive exit, it's hard to say whether he could have made Yukino leave so easily."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness... Rem, you're still number one. Rem, are you listening?"

"Ah."

Rem nodded gently, mimicking her beloved by placing her hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat. "She faced the trials to save Lady Emilia, yet she was constantly thinking of her promise to Rem..."

There was a pounding heartbeat, a sense of awe, and an unforgettable excitement.

Intertwined, with a hazy Rem, they leap on the towering tree called Love.

"...Rem loves you the most, no, she loves you the most, Hachiman!"

Rem was deeply moved.

On the main street of the capital, Parker had absolutely no composure whatsoever, and he was in a complete panic.

"This is terrible! This is terrible! This is extremely terrible!"

"So far, this kid has never told you he likes you, Aria. No matter how many failures Yukinoshita has had, at least he got a personal confirmation of his feelings. If this continues, you'll be the last one, Aria!"

"Hmm... Parker, even if you say that, I still... um, what should I do?"

Emilia hesitated dejectedly; she was completely at a loss.

No matter how innocent, natural, and kind someone is, there are times when they can't back down. But Emilia and Parker looked at each other, unable to think of any way to turn the tide.

Parker simply doesn't believe his future daughter will be as aggressive and direct as Rem.

"I raised you to be so naive, and now you're at such a disadvantage. I can't escape the blame, sigh!"

Parker's self-reproach was already futile.

On the other side, Crusch was engrossed, occasionally exclaiming in surprise: "Oh! Lord Hachiman used to be like this, so shy, so cute! But his current frankness is also amazing! Oh! So he likes to drink this kind of tea called coffee? Although we don't have it here, we should be able to find something with a similar flavor."

"Oh my, Lord Hachiman has always been so resourceful. As expected, he truly lives up to my expectations of Lord Hachiman."

"Phyllis, take a good look at the architectural style over there. I'm going to build a replica of Lord Hachiman's original residence so he can feel the warmth of home!"

124. Beyond Sister's sister-in-law

"Immature students?"

Hirazuka Shizuka, drunk from drinking, burped. Her mind was as clear as a mirror. "You've already spread your wings and flown high, Hachiman. You brat, you've met so many people, yet you don't have the guts to see me... Next time we meet, if you don't bring Rem and Emilia along, and if you don't coax Yukino back, I won't let you off the hook."

Another teacher nearby, Sawako, who was instructing the light music club, grinned and put her arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder, "Hiratsuka, look at the strength your student has developed now, do you think you can still beat him?"

"So verbose!"

With a bang, the wine glass slammed onto the table, Hiratsuka Shizuka, enraged and embarrassed.

At the same time, in her home town, Komachi was filled with excitement.

"Great! Great, great!"

"Although Yukino was great before, Komachi doesn't know these things, and her brother wouldn't bring them up. So it seems Yukino is no less amazing than Rem and Emilia!"

"You idiot brother! Even if it's just for Komachi, can't you at least start a harem? Even though it's a trial, and we don't know if it's the real world or an illusion, Yukino-nee in the real world is watching right now!"

"and--"

She stomped around on the floor at home, jumping up and down excitedly, grinning and showing her fangs: "The last person I said goodbye to is Komachi! Hehe, Komachi loves her brother the most too!"

"The shadow was stretched very long."

"At dusk, Hachiman Hikigaya drank his familiar MAX coffee, the bitterness filling his throat, and he finished it in one gulp."

"It's really tough."

As he spoke, he patted his cheeks, took a deep breath, and tried his best to appear normal. A good brother shouldn't face his beloved sister with a pained expression.

"Pushing her bicycle, she could see Komachi waiting at the entrance of the junior high school from afar. She had her cheeks puffed out, looking around angrily, and finally hung her head, looking listless."

"After saying those things this morning, and making Komachi wait so long, Komachi was hoping to see her brother and Yukino holding hands as they came to pick her up. What a disappointment."

"His sister's disappointed expression, her bright and cheerful voice, and her deliberately provocative tone—these consistent genuine expressions were like a ray of sunshine, breaking through some of the gloom in his suppressed and heavy heart."

"Hmm, never mind. My brother looks really good when he smiles without those dead fish eyes, right? If that's the case, it's probably only a matter of time before Yukino falls for him. Thinking about it that way, Komachi doesn't really care—"

""Komachi. ""

"Hikigaya Hachiman interrupted Komachi with a heartfelt smile. His eyes shone with unparalleled brilliance, and his gentle expression made Komachi involuntarily prick up her ears and listen attentively."

""Komachi, I...""

"pause."

"Hachiman Hikigaya, who hadn't been shy in a long time, blushed with shyness and innocence, his resolute face flushed."

Looking directly at the curious Komachi, Hachiman Hikigaya's voice suddenly rose sharply, then instantly became almost imperceptible: "I—you don't need to worry about your sister-in-law's problem anymore!"

"...?"

Komachi froze, blinked, then her eyes widened suddenly. "Brother...you finally confessed to Yukino-nee?!"

"It's not Yukinoshita, it's Rem!"

Komachi was stunned in surprise: "Ah, it's an older sister Komachi doesn't know."

"It's a name Komachi doesn't recognize, she's never even heard of it. But, this is wonderful, truly wonderful... Rem-neechan, she must be the one who loves Brother even more than Yukino-neechan, the one Brother loves even more, the one who's the world's number one, Komachi's sister-in-law, right?"

"Ah, although I feel a little envious and lonely, just mentioning her name makes me happier than being with Komachi. If that's the case, Komachi will definitely give her her full support!"

"Komachi was truly astonished, incredibly astonished. Because, you know, her brother's love for this Rem-neechan was something he'd never said so openly before!"

"In that case, Rem is definitely the best person—trusting her brother's judgment is a natural thing for a younger sister to do."

"So, when can Komachi meet that Rem-neechan?"

"Hmm...it might take a little while?"

"How long was that?"

"I can't be sure about that either." Hachiman Hikigaya exhaled, looking up at the sky solemnly. "But I will let you see her. I want you to see her. I absolutely want Rem to meet the cutest Komachi in the world. Rem will definitely like you, and you will definitely like Rem too, Komachi."

"Looking at her brother who was beaming with happiness, Komachi felt a strong curiosity about her sister-in-law whom she had never met before."

"Did my brother confess first?"

"It's Rem."

"How do you get along with your brother?"

"She almost turned me into a useless person."
