Savior of the everyday world of crossover anime

In terms of pure skill, Takahashi Yu undoubtedly drew a good card this time, but if factors such as temperament are taken into account, Takahashi Yu believes that she is not a good match for this role-playing card.

After all, Borsalino's "eccentric" personality and "unconventional" temperament are well-known in the original work.

It's fortunate that there's a clone option; otherwise, it's uncertain whether Takahashi Yu would even use this role-playing card.

As for the feeling that the bedroom was small before, that's because Borsalino is over three meters tall. What would be a large bedroom for an ordinary person would feel small for Borsalino.

Chapter 4: Borsalino, the Doppelganger, Exploring the Unknown World

"System, manifest Borsalino's clone!"

"Selection successful, clone generation in progress..."

With a flash of white light, a tall clone appeared in front of Takahashi Yu.

Looking at the cloak emblazoned with the word "Justice" and the face that exuded a lewd air, Takahashi Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

Even disregarding factors like appearance, Borsalino's strength is still formidable. Even with only a 30% or so level of acting, Takahashi Yu has no doubt that this clone in front of her is fully capable of wiping out any country in the real world.

After all, the ability to transform into elements is essentially unsolvable in the everyday world, assuming that we don't consider the various disasters that may occur in the future.

Takahashi Yu can manifest his character card as a clone, so he doesn't need to worry about his appearance; naturally, the stronger he is, the better.

"This level of strength is more than enough to take my place in exploring new worlds."

Takahashi Yu muttered to himself before opening the time travel option.

Each time the system connects to a new world, it must be done by the main body, which is something Takahashi Yu cannot escape. However, for subsequent exploration, Takahashi Yu still has her own interpersonal relationships in the real world and cannot spend a lot of time exploring. In comparison, the clone, which can be completely controlled by AFK, is obviously more suitable than the main body.

Moreover, if even Borsalino's strength couldn't explore this other world, then Takahashi Yu himself had even less reason to go there.

"System, teleport my clone Borsalino to the world to be explored."

"Ding! System transfer in progress..."

Inside the room, Borsalino's figure vanished instantly, and the next second he was teleported to the forest where Takahashi Yu had been.

"Your task is to gather intelligence about this world and investigate its specific circumstances as thoroughly as possible."

Takahashi Yu's words echoed in Borsalino's mind.

Upon hearing this, Borsalino, having received the order, nodded, then activated his Observation Haki to sense the surrounding situation. After finding a direction, his body transformed into a flash of light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, in her bedroom, Takahashi Yu was using the system's functions to observe Borsalino's actions from a third-person perspective.

It must be said that this forest is really vast. Even after Borsalino had been running for nearly fifteen minutes at his speed, there was still no sign of him leaving.

But just then, a strange noise came from ahead. A deafening roar rang out, and a monster nearly twelve meters long, resembling a giant dinosaur, suddenly leaped out from the jungle on one side, its mouth full of sharp teeth snapping at Borsalino!

Borsalino, the clone, seemed to have anticipated this situation, casually kicking out a long, shimmering leg towards the monster before him.

The next second, it rushed straight towards Borsalino's gaping maw, and its entire head exploded like a bursting watermelon, spraying blood everywhere. Only its massive body crashed to the ground due to inertia, creating a spiderweb-like crack in the earth.

Borsalino then stopped in front of the monster's corpse, not by his own will, but on Takahashi Yu's orders.

In the real world, in the bedroom, looking at the giant corpse lying on the ground, Takahashi Yu carefully examined its features.

First, given its size, this monster is definitely not a species that would arise in a normal world. Second, there's its speed. Keep in mind that this monster previously intercepted Borsalino, who was on his way. Even though it was originally ahead of Borsalino, it still proves that this creature could sense Borsalino's speed.

Borsalino, using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit to travel, was not slow even though his speed did not reach the true speed of light. Even though his speed was only 30%, it was not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could detect.

It's conceivable that this monster was quite powerful, but its clone Borsalino was simply too strong, which is why it was instantly killed in one move.

I wonder what level this monster would be in this world...

After pondering for a moment, Takahashi Yu did not continue to think about it, but instead had Borsalino put the monster's corpse into the system space.

Regardless, this monster still has some value; its corpse might be useful for research, so keeping it for now is definitely the right thing to do.

Swish!

The monster's enormous corpse vanished instantly, and Borsalino, at Takahashi Yu's instruction, continued on his way.

Another half hour passed, and they had no idea how far they had gone, but the forest in front of them still seemed to have no end in sight, which made Takahashi Yu somewhat doubtful.

At Borsalino's speed, this amount of time would have been enough for him to travel all over Japan, but he still hasn't been able to leave this forest. Could it be that most of the land in this world is still in an undeveloped state?

After waiting for a while and finding that nothing had changed, Takahashi Yu gave up on watching and decided to rest for the time being.

He can handle whatever happens to his clone on its own, so he doesn't need to worry about it. In contrast, it's already late at night, and his body is just that of an ordinary person, so he needs to rest. He has to go to school tomorrow, and if he's unlucky, he might even have to deal with some supernatural events.

The various disasters that may occur in the future are too shocking to be true. If possible, Takahashi Yu does not want this aspect to be revealed to ordinary people so quickly.

Fortunately, according to the system's description, the disasters in this world occur gradually. At the beginning, there won't be any too terrifying calamities, which is commonly known as the beginner period. This period is the most valuable development time for Takahashi Yu.

Before going to sleep, Takahashi Yu took some time to check the exclusive mission of the Borsalino role-playing card and found that it was a mission similar to clocking in and out at work. As long as you clock in and out on time every day, you can gradually increase your role-playing level.

It's not particularly difficult, but I don't have the time for the time being.

After stuffing the protective gear that had been tidied up earlier back into the bedroom cubicle, Takahashi Yu took off her clothes and lay down on the bed, slowly falling asleep.

About two hours after Takahashi Yu fell asleep, on the other side...

The light that enveloped his body dissipated, and Borsalino stopped in his tracks. Before him lay the exit leading out of the forest.

After leaving the forest, a village with smoke rising from its chimneys could be faintly seen in the distance.

Seeing this, Borsalino headed towards the village.

Chapter 5: The Indifference of the Clone, Intelligence Acquired

"Perhaps we can find something in that village."

Borsalino pondered this in his heart.

"The original body had instructed us to keep a low profile until we understood the state of the world."

"In that case, before seeking permission, I will refrain from using my Devil Fruit abilities in front of others, except when I am on my way."

As a clone manifested by Takahashi Yu, everything is considered with Takahashi Yu at the center. Since he was instructed to keep a low profile, Borsalino decided to hide his Devil Fruit ability after making a certain self-assessment based on the current situation.

Compared to the eye-catching effect of the Glint-Glint Fruit, physical skills and Haki are noticeably more understated.

Of course, even without using his Devil Fruit powers, Borsalino is still extremely strong. In fact, any one of the three admirals in the original story is almost without any weaknesses, and Borsalino is no exception.

However, Borsalino seemed to have overlooked one thing: his height, conceived in the world of pirates, was already quite striking in this world...

When the tall and imposing Borsalino entered the village, he was met with stunned stares and fearful glances from the villagers passing by.

"Who...who are you? Are you some kind of alien?!"

A villager who was nearby asked the question in a panicked and hostile tone.

"A foreign race? I don't remember being a foreign race."

"Instead of that, can you tell me what happened earlier?"

Borsalino lowered his head slightly, looking at the villagers beside him, and asked a question.

His Observation Haki allowed him to sense that there seemed to be an argument taking place in the center of the village ahead.

After using the role-playing card to create a clone, although the clone is essentially emotionless, its behavior will try to conform to the role being played in order to increase the role-playing level as quickly as possible. For example, Borsalino now uses the self-reference of "this old man" in his tone, which increases his role-playing level by two percentage points.

"Ahead... the village chief is arguing with the empire's tax collector."

The villager hesitated for a moment before answering.

Comparing his own physique to Borsalino, whose thighs were almost taller than his head, the villager decisively chose to follow his heart.

Besides, the person in front of him was well-dressed, and although he was a bit tall, he didn't look like a foreigner.

"Imperial tax collectors, arguing..."

Borsalino nodded upon hearing this, then strode towards the center of the village.

"Sir, we really did pay this year's grain tax last month. No matter how much we try to save, we can't scrape together any extra grain!"

"I don't care. I just received news half a month ago that the empire's tax revenue this year has increased by 30% compared to previous years. I've given you half a month. If you still can't pay the grain, don't blame me for being impolite!"

In the center of the village, an old man dressed in simple robes was arguing with a richly dressed, pot-bellied middle-aged man, neither of them willing to give in.

However, overall, it was likely the pot-bellied middle-aged man who was pressuring the simply dressed elderly man.

"Sir, no matter what you say, we really have no more grain to pay taxes..."

Anxiety filled his aged face. The old man, who was in the middle of the argument, was about to continue speaking when he suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind the tax official with fear.

"What, you're scared now? If you're scared, then hand over all the grain!"

At this moment, the tax official seemed unaware that something was amiss. Seeing the village chief's terrified expression, he assumed the man was finally willing to back down, and his face immediately turned smug, until the shadows behind him gradually enveloped him.

He turned his head stiffly, only to see a tall figure standing behind him, his head barely reaching the other's waist...

"Hey, what are you two arguing about? Can you tell me?"

Looking down at the tax collector before him, Borsalino slowly began to speak.

As Borsalino spoke, a suffocating sense of oppression swept over him, and the middle-aged tax collector's face instantly turned ashen, his whole body trembling as he retreated.

"Who...who are you? Guards! Where are the guards?! Come and protect me!!"

The terrified tax collector repeatedly called out to his two guards. However, the two well-equipped guards who had been standing next to the middle-aged tax collector also felt their legs go weak under the oppressive aura. Their armor seemed to offer them no sense of security, and they were completely unable to protect their master.

Seemingly realizing that his guards were unreliable, the middle-aged tax official swallowed hard, retreated several steps, and finally turned and fled in panic.

"I'll let you off the hook for this year's tax revenue, but don't expect me to show you any leniency next year!"

Watching the tax collector scramble away and disappear from sight, along with his guards, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he dared not relax, for there seemed to be an even more terrifying presence before him.

"My lord, thank you for driving away that damned tax collector for us. I am the village chief of this village, and please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the entire village."

The village chief thanked Borsalino, but unfortunately, his gratitude did not seem to receive the response he deserved.

"I have just helped you, so now you have to answer my questions."

Borsalino looked at the old man before him with indifferent eyes and spoke calmly.

Unlike normal humans, clones do not possess any emotions. They are not subject to sadness, fear, or being influenced by good or evil. All of a clone's actions are purposeful.

The reason I used my aura to help the village chief drive away that seemingly aggressive tax collector was not because I disliked him, nor to uphold justice, but simply to obtain information about this world from the village chief.

At that moment, the village chief standing in front of Borsalino suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a cold machine.

And so, a few hours later, with the village chief and the villagers' candid responses, Borsalino successfully gathered enough intelligence.
