Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

This isn't about Banami herself having any inexplicable self-confidence.

The key point is that she did indeed awaken a cheat ability.

——"Utopia realized"

This is the name that Anzu Hanami gave to her ability.

Simply put, she can materialize objects from her imagination by expending physical energy, according to her own ideas.

Perhaps it's a kind of mental self-protection, unlike Kurokawa Kazuya, who has traveled through time twice.

On her first day in the other world, Anna was quite enthusiastic.

Like following a beginner's guide, she earned her first fortune by selling spice packets in the city, modeling herself after the characters in the stories she had read.

What followed was a somewhat dazed and confused state, conforming to the various consumption patterns of this era.

Teenage girls don't have plans for the future.

A teenage girl doesn't feel particularly upset about suddenly leaving her parents.

A teenage girl only realizes a certain fact after the first day of puberty has passed.

The brain then seems to refuse to think about this fact.

He opened up access to the elite market with a bowl of instant noodles that smelled delicious for miles around.

In just three days, she opened a shop in the capital selling custom-made clothing and strange and unusual foods.

The shop's decorations were all designed by Banami herself.

When Kurokawa Kazuya arrived at the designated location, he saw a beautiful blue-haired girl lying on a deck chair under a Japanese-style building with a sign that read "General Store," swaying back and forth as she looked at the sky with her eyes glazed over.

Pedestrians hurried past on the street, while Anna remained in a daze, occasionally picking up a bag of potato chips and stuffing it into her mouth.

The afternoon sun shone on the girl's fair face, making her look somewhat dazed.

Kurokawa Kazuya walked towards the other person alone.

Kurokawa Kazuya: "Hanami?"

Anna Hanami: "Oh, do you want to buy something? Just go inside and get it. The prices are listed below the items. Once you've chosen what you want, come to my place to pay."

The girl waved her hand, seemingly having already adapted to life here, and didn't reply at all.

Although she appears to be daydreaming, Anna Hanami is actually practicing a basic meditation technique that she paid money to get from a temple.

Meditation itself doesn't involve much secrecy; shop owners in the neighborhood all spend time practicing it, and the price is quite cheap.

However, if one simply practices meditation normally, the best results one can achieve are at most clearer hearing and eyesight, and a more energetic state.

To go further and possess the mental strength to become an Onmyoji or a monk, one needs to spend a lot of money to buy various elixirs for assistance.

Considering that, without the aid of special elixirs or items, meditation has a negligible effect on strengthening the mind.

It's basically confirmed that it's about Hanami Anna; this is a fairly common business tactic in modern times.

They sell printers cheaply and make money by selling ink cartridges.

They sell game consoles cheaply and make money by selling games.

They'll sell you the meditation method cheaply, then keep you hanging on by selling pills.

After a brief consultation, she also learned that some of the precious cultivation supplies and subsequent cultivation manuals could not simply be bought with money; they required completing corresponding tasks and earning merits.

In short, this world with monsters, onmyoji, and extraordinary warriors is not as backward in terms of its systems as one might imagine.

However, for Anana Hachimi now, the increase in mental strength brought about by meditation should only be a side effect.

The reason she spends so much time practicing this is probably because when practicing meditation, one can enter a state of complete focus and avoid thinking about other things.

As for what she wants to do in the future, Anna Hanami has no idea at all.

This is quite normal. In the past, her life was simply following the arrangements of society, going to school on time every day, and then playing with her friends during holidays.

This constitutes her entire life. She doesn't need to make any choices or consider any unnecessary future; everything has already been chosen for her by society.

Now, suddenly being asked to choose a direction in her life, she is naturally completely bewildered.

When thinking about what she should do, Anzu couldn't help but think of that guy again.

Compared to her, who gets bored whenever she's alone.

That guy can do a lot when he's alone, and he's incredibly clear about his goals.

If that guy had also traveled through time, he would probably have already started accepting commissions from the Yin-Yang Pavilion and beginning to exterminate various monsters.

No, it's more likely that he would infiltrate those noble groups, use his "imagination manifestation" ability to conjure up various modern items, and exchange them for what he wanted from the upper echelons.

As she pondered what the other person might do, Anna Hanami began to plan her future.

Wait, why did she suddenly think of him at this moment?

It must be the person who just spoke; the voice sounds somewhat similar.

The girl lying on the recliner gradually pulled herself out of her meditative state, and the focus in her eyes slowly returned.

Hanami Anzu finally saw the figure standing in front of her.

Click-clack~ Click-clack~ Click-clack~

The rocking chair in front of the shop swayed back and forth as Anna stood up.

The blue-haired beauty maintained her expression and reached out to pinch Kurokawa Kazuya's cheek.

"It's really strange. I've heard that practicing meditation can create inner demons, but I've never heard of inner demons appearing at this time."

My brain seems to have gone into some kind of shutdown state.

After pinching her face, Anna began to touch and caress her even further.

She was about to lift up Kurokawa Kazuya's clothes to see if the illusion inside the clothes was also a real touch.

pop~

Kurokawa Kazuya slapped away the other person's hand that was trying to lift his clothes.

Bana saw Anza look up at him.

Hanami Anana reached out her hand again.

pop~

Kurokawa Kazuya slapped the other person's hand away again.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I don't know why, but we both probably ended up in another world. I think I was just about to leave when I was transported there."

Hanami Anna: "The inner demon's logic is quite logical."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Hanami, your expression has frozen."

Yanai sees Ancai: "..."

The atmosphere at the scene froze for half a second.

The blue-haired beauty took a step back and sat down on the rocking chair behind her.

Click-clack~ Click-clack~ Click-clack~

She swayed back and forth like a thinker, as if she had completely forgotten the awkwardness just now, and adopted a serious demeanor.

Anna Hanami: "I think I transmigrated when I was passing by your house in Kurokawa. My body suddenly felt light and I kept falling down. When I woke up, I found myself here."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "So it was around that time that something went wrong in the area in front of my house, causing us to travel here. Hachimi, were there any other people around you at the time?"

Anna Hanami: "No, I checked, during that time, at least in the area I could see, it was just me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Banami quickly realized that something was wrong with her words.

After all, it was already strange for Kurokawa and Miya to be observing whether there was anyone else around in front of their house.

Maintaining her expression unchanged, the girl glanced at Kurokawa Kazuya out of the corner of her eye and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she found that his expression had not changed.

It seems that because she had traveled to another world, she had almost forgotten how to control her emotions in front of Kurokawa Kazuya.

However, looking at Kurokawa Kazuya's familiar face in front of her, the girl couldn't help but smile.

There was no particular reason; I was just extremely happy.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I see."

At this moment, Kurokawa Kazuya, who was also preoccupied with his own thoughts, naturally did not notice the unusual behavior of Hanami Anna.

Did Kurokawa Kazuya ask these questions to confirm the reason for his time travel?

The answer is no. Examples include meteorite impacts on Earth, volcanic eruptions destroying civilizations, and wormholes inexplicably opening on Earth, causing a complete transformation of civilizations.

If there is a probability, then there is a possibility of it happening.

Kurokawa Kazuya has accepted that accidents always happen.

He didn't think he had any special value, that people would go to great lengths to send him to another world.

Just as the Earth experiences earthquakes from time to time, it's not impossible that the world could suddenly have a hole appearing and throw people out.

That's why they're asking such detailed questions now.

It was probably a feeling of mixed anticipation and anxiety.

At this moment, he felt both relieved and regretful that not many people had followed him through the time travel.

Just like when he met Anna Hanami, he felt more joy and surprise than sadness for her time travel.

Besides myself, there were other people who came with me.

After figuring out his own thoughts, Kurokawa Kazuya chuckled and remarked about his own situation, "You've finally met your match."

He has never liked relying on or depending on others; he hopes to accomplish everything quietly and independently.

But what I'm absolutely certain of now is that I'm looking at the carefree, laughing blue-haired girl in front of me.

Kurokawa Kazuya felt the world, which had seemed to have stopped, begin to flow again.

We can't keep acting like we don't care about anything.

If only two people are transported to another world, it would be incredibly heartless to leave only the other one alive if either of them were to perish.

Hanami Anna: "Oh, right, Kurokawa..."

As if preparing to share a little secret, Banami saw Anna with a sly smile and put her hand on Kurokawa Kazuya's shoulder.

Anna Hanami: "Want to know what kind of cheat codes I have?"

Anzu Hachimi was quite proud of the ability she gained after transmigrating, "Imaginary Manifestation".

She's even starting to wonder if Kurokawa Kazuya, this gaming enthusiast, will be incredibly grateful after she conjures up a computer for him.

Unfortunately, her "Imagination Manifestation" ability can only conjure things she has a memory of. She has never played video games, otherwise the following scene would have been very interesting.

However, after thinking for a moment, Kurokawa Kazuya responded to Hanami Anna's smug expression with a question:

"So, Banami, do you want to know what my ability is?"

【2-in-1】

Chapter Six: A Phone Call to Another World

The question is whether I can return to my original world.

Almost subconsciously, Anna Hanami ignored the matter as a form of self-protection.

I really want to ask, but whenever the thought pops into my head, I subconsciously ignore it.

Perhaps they had already mentally prepared for the worst.

However, Anna Hanami really didn't expect things to be even more bizarre than she imagined.

As the girl followed Kurokawa Kazuya toward his cabin, she was told very bluntly that the chances of returning were slim. But before she could even force a smile and say anything to Kurokawa Kazuya beside her...

The other person handed her a phone with a signal.

"Can you contact my parents?"

"can."
