Recently, Tokyo Nichiuri TV host Yoko Okino conducted an exclusive interview. Her interviewee was the renowned private detective and special consultant to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...
After enduring the wait until they entered the room, Toyama Yoruichi locked the door, sat on the sofa in the living room, and then tried to speak calmly.
"I said system..."
[Host, I am not a system...]
"If you're not a system, then what are you? A yellow croaker?"
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't contain her anger at the system's backtalk and retorted directly.
"By the way, wouldn't it be better if you showed up too? You've already failed at pretending to be an AI anyway."
The "system" in his mind sighed helplessly. After a rather cliché flash, a black cat appeared in front of the sofa.
Who are you calling vulgar?
The black cat had a petty look on its face.
It could also be to avoid being questioned too much and to gain the upper hand.
Yoruichi Toyama stared blankly at the crescent moon on its forehead.
"Hey, you're cosplaying the cat next to Sailor Moon... what's its name again... Luna, right?"
The black cat fell silent for a moment.
[I never expected someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to watch Sailor Moon!]
...
"Anyway, what's wrong with your system..."
[I've already told you I'm not a system, I'm transmigrated spirit number 3166, you can call me Taro.]
Yoruichi Toyama rolled her eyes.
"What the heck is Taro? Ultraman?"
[Code name! This is my code name, do you understand? ...]
"What codename? I'd be codenamed Ultraman Tiga!"
[Tiga already has a name: Number 874, a time-traveling spirit, responsible for the Slam Dunk world.]
"Holy crap, there really are? Are all the characters there Ultraman?..."
The two stared at each other for a while, then finally resisted the urge to continue arguing and began exchanging information.
According to the black cat who called himself Taro, these—yes, more than one—"time travel elves" were all service personnel of a time travel system.
Its main responsibility is to receive travelers entering the transit station and guide them to different world planes.
Travelers need to obtain a travel token, and in some popular worlds, there are even queues.
For example, the line for Conan has already circled the transfer station three times.
"No, I didn't even queue up!" Yoruichi Toyama immediately objected. "I don't have any token, and I haven't seen the transfer station you mentioned..."
I just took a moment to check, and there was a period of time when the system was down during a recent upgrade and update. It's possible you were caught in that period...
[As for the token, are you sure you didn't get it? Then how could I have guided you?]
"Ah, wait a minute!" Yoruichi Toyama slapped her thigh. "You mean that fluffy keychain that our director's daughter left on the table when she came to visit her father?"
"That thing is your time-travel token?"
"This system of yours, is it some kind of otome romance isekai system?"
Yoruichi Toyama thought about it more and more and it made more sense. No wonder she had other targets to pursue!
Black Cat Taro nodded with a serious expression.
The purpose of this system is indeed to serve female users and fulfill their desire to connect with characters from another dimension...
"Then what task are you asking me to complete? Just send me back right now!"
Having said that, Yoruichi Toyama was a little worried again. What kind of spirit was this, who had traveled through time and looked like a cat? Didn't she know that humans have genders?
Is it really okay to make a grown man do a dating simulation game?
Taro shook his head seriously again.
Once a time traveler is transported to another world, they cannot return without completing their mission; there's nothing I can do about that.
This system reserves the right to the final interpretation of the rules for traversing the system.
"..."
Seeing the black cat sprawled out on the carpet, Yoruichi Toyama realized that he, or rather, that transmigration system, was planning to play dirty tricks.
It's not that Yoruichi Toyama didn't have the thought of "just finishing the mission and going back safely"...
"But you've already told me the mission failed..."
Yes, according to the system's time-travel rules, those who fail the mission will never be able to return to the real world.
However, given that the host did not log in to the transfer station due to the system upgrade, the task progress will be recalculated from now on.
...That's true. Killing themselves, even if it means trapping themselves in this Conan world, won't do them any good.
Yoruichi Toyama sensed the scent of bargaining.
Yoruichi Toyama has resigned herself to being forced to play a substitute for a young girl and then have to work on increasing the favorability of characters in the story.
but……
"You just said the mission failed, doesn't that mean Shinichi Kudo has shrunk and become Conan? How am I supposed to win him over?"
If only we could change the task, or at least change the task recipient...
For example, Ran, Ai... Sonoko would also work. If you can win over Sonoko and marry into the Suzuki Group, it doesn't matter if you can't go back for a while.
Well... actually, the host has more than one target for his pursuit...
[Since you are now completing the mission in place of the original owner, the difficulty has been adjusted accordingly. A passing score is all that's needed.]
Is there more than one person you're trying to woo?
"Besides Shinichi Kudo, who else could it be?"
There are quite a few, like Kaito Kid, Hakuba Saguru, Shuichi Akai, Tooru Amuro...
"Okay, that's enough..."
What a kind-hearted girl!
I need to talk to the director when I get back and strengthen the education efforts.
"Huh?" On second thought, Yoruichi Toyama noticed another interesting point. "Does that child not like Heiji Hattori? Or does he dislike his dark complexion?"
