Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies

For a moment, Haruto's gaze met with that of one particular little loli.

The girl quickly ducked her head.

Clearly panicked.

From this alone, it was easy to infer what kind of impression the adult humans of this world had left on them.

Haruto couldn't help but furrow his brow.

This world was deeply irrational, wasn't it?

As the chairman of the SCP Foundation—and the potential dictator of his main world—After managing the main world and witnessing countless parallel realities—

Haruto had developed a fairly deep understanding of human nature.

Humans are xenophobic. They fear power they themselves do not possess, and they harbor an exceptionally dark side. These were facts Haruto was well aware of. But—humanity also has a courageous side, a side of light.

The song of humanity is a song of courage.

This, the Foundation's many staff members had proven with their actions. Though the Cursed Children possessed great power, and the risk of transformation did exist—At the same time, they were easy to manage, the risk wasn't high, and… they were adorable.

In this world, human society's hatred toward the Cursed Children was wildly disproportionate. Moreover, humans are naturally more tolerant toward younglings and cute things.

As Haruto pondered this—

Satomi Rentaro's voice pulled him back to the moment.

"Nice to meet you. My name's Satomi Rentaro. Thank you for saving Miss Kisara."

Haruto withdrew his gaze and looked at the boy who bowed before him.

He patted Satomi Rentaro on the shoulder.

Sigh… poor kid. You've got a long road ahead of you.

Satomi Rentaro was utterly baffled.

Why did it feel like he was just being pitied for his fate?

Still, since this man had saved his dear friend, Satomi Rentaro chose to politely overlook the odd moment.

"Though we're already within the protected zone of the Monolith, we should still head into Tokyo as soon as possible," he said solemnly.

Tendo Kisara nodded in agreement.

Haruto glanced once more toward the sewer, where one or two little lolis peeked timidly out.

"You two go on ahead. I'll check on the children."

As he said this, Haruto leapt directly into the sewer below.

This made Tendo Kisara and Satomi Rentaro both widen their eyes in shock.

That sewer was at least ten meters deep. If a normal person jumped down, they'd at the very least break a bone—or worse, die on the spot.

The two of them hurried over to the edge and looked down.

And there they saw—

Haruto had landed smoothly and was walking casually, like nothing had happened.

"Miss Kisara, this guy…"

Satomi Rentaro really wanted to ask where she found this monster.

However, Tendo herself wanted to ask the same thing. Still, remembering how Haruto had effortlessly killed a Stage Three Gastrea earlier…

This hardly seemed all that shocking in comparison.

After a brief moment of silence, the two of them descended using a ladder fixed to the wall.

Meanwhile, the group of little lolis who had seen Haruto jump down—Scattered like startled birds and fled in all directions.

They hid within the shadows of the sewer.

From the darkness, pairs of crimson eyes shone brightly.

Haruto took a few steps toward them, then stopped. Then, with a gesture, he reached into the air. From his Kamui space, he retrieved some food.

Opening a few cans of meat, he placed them on the ground ahead of him.

Then stepped back a couple of paces.

The scene was like baiting stray cats with treats.

From the darkness, those red eyes flickered.

"Food… and it smells like meat… it smells so good…"

"What do we do? Should we go for it? Ahh, whatever!"

"Hey! Get back here! You'll get beaten!"

Whispers emerged from the shadows.

But one little loli couldn't resist the temptation and darted out.

She was incredibly fast—probably clocked a 100-meter dash in under eight seconds.

Snatching up two cans of meat, she ran back into hiding.

More rustling and hushed discussions followed in the dark.

What surprised Haruto—

Was that these lolis didn't immediately dig into the cans.

Even though they were drooling—

They didn't run back out for more either.

Instead, led by one little loli, they all came out together.

The leading loli had long golden hair and the crimson eyes unique to Cursed Children. Her clothes were torn and ragged, and for some reason, her head was wrapped with a piece of cloth.

Holding the two cans, she walked back over to Haruto.

"Um… this is your food. We shouldn't have taken it. I'm sorry."

She returned the precious cans.

Even though her eyes were practically glued to them.

"It's fine," Haruto replied. "These are for you. So eat them. I brought plenty more, so no need to hold back. Oh, and here—some spoons, too."

As he spoke, Haruto took out even more meat cans and a handful of spoons.

Hearing that, the little lolis all revealed looks of disbelief.

They had never heard of anyone willingly giving food to a Cursed Child. Let alone something as precious as meat.

They couldn't even suspect it was poisoned—

Because even if it was poison, no one would waste meat on them.

To most humans, their lives were worth less than a can of meat.

"Is… is it really okay? Such precious food, for us Cursed Children…"

The golden-haired loli asked while gulping down saliva.

Haruto reached out his hand.

She flinched and almost ran. But she forced herself to stay still—only tightly closing her eyes.

No punch came. No pain.

Haruto gently patted her head.

"Go ahead and eat. It's alright."

Feeling that gentle head pat—

The golden-haired loli almost burst into tears.

With Haruto's reassurance, the other little lolis also came forward, accepted the spoons, and began to eat.

All of them devoured the food like starving animals.

They had little choice.

They could barely get any food at all.

The Tokyo district didn't provide them with regular rations. At best, they'd throw out moldy scraps once in a while.

Let alone meat.

Just then, Tendo and Rentaro finally reached the bottom.

They were stunned by the sight before them.

"Wait… did you have all this food on you? Whoa, it's meat cans—can I have one?" Kisara asked, her voice full of surprise, and… a bit of drool.

She couldn't help it—she was broke.

It had been months, maybe even a whole year since she'd last had meat.

Haruto rolled his eyes.

"You seriously gonna fight these kids for food?"

At his words, Kisara glanced at the surrounding lolis.

And gave up.

As tempting as it was, she wasn't that depraved.

But then—

The golden-haired loli offered her still-unopened can to Kisara.

"Big sis, you can have mine. I'm not hungry."

She held out the meat can, forcing a smile.

Kisara fell silent.

Even her appetite vanished.

She gently pushed the can back and, imitating Haruto, softly patted the golden-haired loli's head.

Satomi Rentaro quietly watched from the side, his eyes shining.

His gaze toward Haruto became even more respectful.

After all, in this society, people who didn't discriminate against the Cursed Children were already rarer than phoenix feathers.

Let alone someone who would give out precious food to them.

So… there really are still good people in this world, Rentaro thought.

Sensing Satomi Rentaro's gaze, Haruto glanced at him.

Though the guy hadn't said anything, Haruto could roughly guess what he was thinking.

But he silently shook his head.

He was nothing like the "good person" Rentaro imagined.

"By the way, I still don't know your name," Kisara asked.

She was now even more determined to recruit Haruto into her company. Not only was he a treasure trove of potential—his personality was a perfect fit too.

If she let him slip away now, she'd regret it for life.

"Takamine Haruto," he replied casually.

Before long, the group of little lolis had all finished their cans. Their gazes toward Haruto no longer held any fear or suspicion.

One after another, they even tried to cuddle up to him.

Not because they were naïve.

Quite the opposite—these girls were far more mature than their age suggested.

And precisely because of that, they knew—

Haruto was someone who truly treated them kindly.
