He made thorough preparations before starting his journey through the worlds, so it can't be his fault, right?

Therefore, it must be a system problem.

Having traversed these three worlds, Vili had developed a basic level of trust in Il. He believed that this increasingly "human" little thing wouldn't do anything bad behind his back, so it could only mean... he forgot to tell him.

"Is it related to my mission?"

Seeing its hesitant movements, Vili guessed.

"Speaking of which, you said yesterday that the comic book had nothing to do with my mission? This means..."

If I don't speak up, the host will guess everything. Then, I won't even have a chance to make amends.

Realizing this, the system hurriedly spoke up.

"It's not that it's unrelated! It's that it's not very related!"

"The manga 'Tales of the Evening' is just a background setting. The real protagonist has nothing to do with those three people. In fact, it's your younger brother, Haruki Asami!"

Perhaps afraid of being interrupted, the system spoke extremely fast, and Vili listened in silence.

"However, saying it's him isn't entirely accurate... In fact, the current 'Asami Haruki' came from another world."

"Same as me?"

Vili was curious, as he couldn't see any trace of a familiar on the other person.

"Of course not!"

"It's more like an accident, a spacetime distortion, where a soul from a higher-dimensional world entered a lower-dimensional world."

"In his original world, there was also a manga called 'Evening Tales,' and he was a huge fan of it, with an extraordinary passion for all three male protagonists... Then one day, he was transported into this world."

"I transmigrated into the body of Asami Haruki, a minor character who has some connection to the original work but no name."

Vili blinked, listening intently, and couldn't help but speak.

"Isn't that pitiful?"

"Huh?"

"When I woke up, my soul had suddenly entered someone else's body, and I was in a strange world where there wasn't a single familiar person..."

This is completely different from his active choice to travel through time.

The system remained silent for a moment before speaking, its voice filled with excitement.

"Host, you're too kind!" it exclaimed indignantly. "In the original story, this protagonist was... well, not good to you at all!"

"He was so happy to have traveled to this world that he never even thought about going back!"

"Moreover, he and the original owner were actually thinking about the same thing, which was to win the love of the three male protagonists in the comic, and your original task was actually to be his wingman."

"But the original owner was no match for him at all; many of the schemes he orchestrated were actually staged by him!"

If the host were truly here to complete the mission, they would be very pleased with such a self-aware protagonist.

But the system had completely adopted Vili's perspective, and the thought that Asami Haruki wanted to use these methods on his host made it furious!

Seeing its appearance, Willie laughed first.

"Don't worry, I was just saying. I can see the hostility in his eyes clearly too."

However, this explains Asami Haruki's unusual behavior this morning.

Changing his image, apologizing to his parents, enrolling in a training school... Asami's parents certainly never imagined that in just one day, their son would have a completely different soul.

Ah, but isn't he the same now?

Asami Haruki has a different soul, and Asami Miri is no longer the original owner.

It's truly lamentable that the Asami family lost two sons in just two days.

Just thinking about what Asami's parents had done in the past, Willy put aside his barely perceptible guilt and instead felt a restless urge to watch the show.

Haruki Asami did not disappoint him.

A few days later, he tentatively suggested that his older brother transfer to a regular school.

Vili thought that, judging from their identical thought processes and inexplicable hostility, this unknown soul from another world must be the original owner's biological brother, sharing the same parents.

However, without him having to take action himself, Shinichi Asami decisively rejected Haruki Asami's request.

After all, he was still waiting to "sell his son".

Although Chiyoko appears strong, she completely listens to her husband's opinions on such matters, and spends her days going out to meet with friends in order to avoid Asami Haruki.

Seeing that his parents are unreliable, the protagonist decides to start by getting to Willy directly.

He prepared himself mentally and chose a time when no one else in the family was home to knock on his "brother's" door.

Meanwhile, Willy had already secretly sold several gems through the system's channels, acquiring a huge sum of money, which he used solely to purchase one of the greatest inventions of modern society—a video game console.

He was completely addicted to it, almost to the point of forgetting everything else, and even exclaimed to the system:

"I want to stay in this world for a hundred years!"

Il glanced at the increasingly thin calendar, nearing the start of the school year, and decisively forgot about it.

It quietly infiltrated the world's network, determined to create a flawless identity for its host that could remain hidden in modern society.

So much so that when Willy saw Asami Haruki again, he almost forgot who he was.

"elder brother……"

He had barely uttered a single word when Vili interrupted him.

"Don't call me that, I don't like hearing it."

According to a term he recently learned, it should be considered a form of "PTSD"...

Haruki Asami completely failed to see this point, and only thought that Willy disliked him and was not giving him face.
