How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Whatever the Night Demon Queen of the Time and Space Administration wants to do, getting the sisters out of there first is the right thing to do.

"Come with me. You seem to know why I came to find you."

The woman dressed as the Night Demon Queen walked straight into the glass-like surface of the Five Watches Pavilion.

She seemed very familiar with Gokou Ruri's house, and walked into Gokou Ruri's room with a clear purpose. She even opened the door like a hostess and made room for Gokou Ruri to go in first.

Ruri Gokou raised an eyebrow; this didn't seem like the personality one would expect from the Night Demon Queen.

But then I remembered what the time traveler who provided the information said: that the members of the Time and Space Administration were all mentally twisted lunatics, and I felt relieved.

Maybe they've been through a lot and their personalities have changed.

But you really can't tell that the Night Demon Queen is crazy...

"You're not Gokou Ruri, are you?"

"..."

Chapter 448 Find a way to prove you are Gokou Ruri

"You're not Gokou Ruri, are you?"

The woman dressed as the Night Demon Queen repeated it, giving Gokou Ruri a sense of absurdity.

She, Wu Geng Liuli Meng, has been a native of Wu Geng Liuli since birth, but today she is being told that she is not Wu Geng Liuli.

I

This absurd feeling of being told you're not yourself is something only literary works would dare to portray.

No... reality is even more absurd.

"I am Gokou Ruri."

That was the only answer she could give. Was there any other way to answer?

Claiming to be the Fallen Saint Black Cat? To the Night Demon Queen herself?

"Ruri Gokou is not you at all!"

Snapped!

A copy of "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute," which was usually bought from a store and was still unopened, was thrown in front of Gokou Ruri. The small print on it, indicating the author as Chiba no Fallen Saint Kuroneko, was incredibly glaring.

The Time and Space Administration member, whom Gokou Ruri identified as the Night Demon Queen, introduced herself as follows:

"Because I am also Gokou Ruri, I know clearly that you cannot be Gokou Ruri!"

Pointing at the book "Oreimo" on the ground, the larger version of Gokou Ruri suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Whether it's the writing style, the way it's written, the design of the main siblings, or the genre of the novel, there's not a trace of Gokou Ruri in it. You're not Gokou Ruri at all!"

Because this book wasn't written by Ruri Gokou at all, how could it possibly have any trace of her work?

It was completely copied, pasted, printed out by that idiot elf and dumped it on Shinazugawa Bunko. It's full of Fushiji's influence, and there's no way it could be Ruri Gokou's.

I really want to rant like this...

"...You're also Gokou Ruri!?" But this news was even more shocking.

This woman is practically a three-dimensional version of the Night Demon Queen... and to be honest, she really does look a lot like a grown-up version of Ruri Gokou.

Upon closer inspection, no problems were found; in fact, it looked even more like it.

Even if you ask someone you know to tell the difference, they might mistake her for a sister; she's a completely larger version of Ruri Gokou.

Ruri Gokou suddenly remembered what Miss Fox had said when they parted ways yesterday.

That really came true.

"What 'also'?"

The larger version of Gokou Ruri raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "You plagiarist, you're just pretending to be stupid. There's only one Gokou Ruri here, and that's me!"

No, no, no, it's too simplistic to dismiss her from the list of Ruri Gokou based solely on one book, "Oreimo," and to treat her as a time traveler!

"You don't need to refute me, I still have more evidence."

The larger version of Ruri Gokou continued as if she had foreseen the future: "Even if you encountered a time traveler who showed you 'Oreimo,' in Ruri Gokou's mind, she would never send it to Shinazugawa Bunko."

Unless tempted by money.

Ruri Gokou recalled how those silly netizens had tricked her into sending her copy of "Oreimo" to Shinazugawa Bunko by using the sales figures of "Oreimo" in the chat group.

But her sense of shame made her conflicted. It wasn't until the last day before the deadline for the Newcomer Award that she was forced into a deal by that idiotic elf, which led to her winning the gold prize in the Newcomer Award.

"No matter what, you're still too casual."

Ruri Gokou shook her head. So what if she did something like submitting "Oreimo" to the Shinazugawa Bunko Newcomer Award?

We're all like Gokkou Ruri, so I don't believe you won't be influenced by the arguments of those silly netizens.

After all, the source of Ruri Gokou's desire to write books was money.

For this reason, even if it were Gokou Ruri, she would still be conflicted.

"The first edition of 'Oreimo' was a huge hit, and it will be adapted into an anime, which will easily make a lot of money. Even if I stop creating works in the future, the money I earn can be used to improve my life if I use it properly."

This was the initial statement from those silly netizens that tempted her. Now, Gokou Ruri, combining her own personality, has uttered an even more alluring statement about "Gokou Ruri" herself:

"The novel's sales exceeded 230 million in 2010. The first volume was released in 08, which means that 230 million is the sales of two years. In 19, Fushimi Tsukasa wrote an Ayase IF route, and at that time, the first week's sales jumped to sixth in Japan."

"From novels to animation, games, radio dramas, and stage plays, the copyright of just one book, 'Oreimo,' is enough to create wealth that we never dared to imagine before."

"It's the same Gokkou Ryūki (five-watch glass), with such a treasure in your hands, how long can you hold out?"

Ruri Gokou stared at the larger Ruri Gokou, neither showing any weakness.

"Oh... so Oreimo is this popular...?"

"No! That's not right! The real Gokou Ruri wouldn't be tempted by mere money... so you're not Gokou Ruri at all..."

As the older version of Ruri Gokou spoke, her voice grew softer and softer. Putting herself in her shoes, she realized that back in high school, she had also found it difficult to resist this temptation.

Being looked at like that by Gokou Ruri only fueled the fire in his heart!

"That's the kind of person Gokou Ruri is, yes, that's right, but what does it matter!"

"I still have conclusive evidence!!"

A purplish-black claw emerged from the shadows and reached out to grab Gokou Ruri.

Ruri Gokou was startled. Her developed brain reacted incredibly quickly, and her calculations immediately began to work—

A halo appears above her head, and wings sprout from her back—this is the pose of Gokou Ruri using her abilities!

Completely opposite to the dark style of the larger version of Ruri Gokou, incandescent light gathered in front of her in layers, attempting to block the purplish-black claw that emerged from the shadows.

However, the light shield was no match for the claws and was easily broken through, shattering layer by layer. The power was simply not on the same level.

"Sisters, are you done yet?"

Suddenly, Hinata's voice came from the living room, causing the purplish-black claws to hover at Gokou Ruri's neck, without breaking her.

"Tamahi's stomach is growling with hunger!"

Ruri Gokou swallowed hard, not daring to speak.

Although the larger version of Gokou Ruri stopped clawing because of Hinata's voice, her fierce eyes did not change.

"The world of Oreimo is about ordinary daily life in youth. I don't remember having such power back in high school!"

The larger version of Gokou Ruri stared at Gokou Ruri's fair neck, wishing she could just twist it off.

But upon hearing the approaching footsteps of children outside, the purplish-black claws retracted and disappeared back into the shadows.

"But now, no matter what, you must be 'Gokou Ruri'!"

Through gritted teeth, Gokou Ruri could hear the deep resentment in her voice.

Click.

Just then, the door opened a crack, and Hinata Gokou's little head popped in from outside, asking curiously, "Big sister, what are you doing? Are you done yet? Can you let me cook now?"

The larger version of Gokou Ruri immediately changed her expression, "Alright, but Hinata's older sister isn't feeling well, so let the older sister cook. I promise it'll be just like your older sister's!"

"That's not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, right, little Liuli?"

Hinata Gokou immediately looked at her older sister, Ruri Gokou, her large eyes filled with confusion.

Ruri Gokou took a breath, glanced at the smiling, larger version of Ruri Gokou, nodded, and closed her eyes. "Only for this older sister..."

What's going on here...?

I never expected that developing superpowers in Academy City would become a foreshadowing!

Not being yourself, yet forced to be yourself under your own threat! What kind of absurd plot development came up with by a third-rate writer?!

Chapter 449 Daily Off-Topic

Fallen Saint Black Cat: I never imagined such a thing would happen!

Big Brother: Well, to be honest, this kind of thing can indeed happen.

Paid newbie: Isn't it just getting roasted by yourself? Type-Moon is really good at that.

My Favorite Magical Mary: Delinquent Mary-chan... We Type-Moon aren't that weird!

The Fallen Angel Black Cat: Archer (Red Archer) and Shirou Emiya, I also have a pretty deep impression of them.

Dear older brother: Rather than the idea of ​​my future self wanting to erase my dark history, what I've always wanted to say is, why are there so many people with the same face in our Type-Moon world?

Big Brother: Or rather, why do so many heroic spirits, who are from different eras and races, look so alike?

My Favorite Magical Merry: ...It seems so?

The doctor silently recalled the Servants who had entered Chaldea. There were quite a few Servants who looked alike, or even had the same face.

There are also some situations where, just by listening to their voices, it's impossible to tell who is who.

Is this considered a perverse sense of humor at its root?

Even though we come from different eras, are of different races, and have different bloodlines, we are somehow so similar.

"I wonder if there are any Heroic Spirits that look just like me."

Chaldea does not yet have one.

Dear Big Brother: No need for Purple Mom, I'm a socially awkward, overweight otaku, I don't do offline meetings.

Seventeen-year-old girl: Oh my~

Benten: But the newbie is really not very active, is something they're busy with?
