Chapter 19 [Revised] He, the owner of the Scarlet House...

When Karin Origami opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the comic convention. The stage play performed by the club on stage was not yet finished. To everyone else, she had just taken a nap.

When Karin Origami told everyone in the club that she had time-traveled, they all thought she was joking. Karin Origami then recounted the content of the theoretical lectures she had attended in college, prompting everyone to exclaim, "As expected of the scriptwriter, she thought of such detailed plot points!"

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

So it really is true! She really did time travel! Why doesn't anyone believe it?

Just because she's part of the scriptwriting team, does that mean everything she says, no matter how convincing, is all made up by her?!

For the first time in her life, Karin Oriyuki felt no joy in being praised for her screenwriting skills.

However, there was one person who said they believed her—the famous cosplayer from the club that Yuki Ayakari had been thinking about throughout her time travel, the superb actress who could play any role perfectly, Fuwa Ryuu!

At that time, Fuwa Ryuu, who had already withdrawn from business, lazily opened her eyes, glanced at her, and said, "Ah, I believe you."

Finally, someone believed in her, and Kiryuki Karin was already somewhat touched, but then the other person immediately added, "I've worn that too."

Zhixue Yahuali: "."

No, Liuyi-nee, I'm really not joking!

Someone asked what Fuwa Ryu was wearing, and Fuwa Ryu said that she opened a stand-in shop, and her biggest customer is Gojo Satoru.

Everyone: "Damn, did Gojo Satoru order Natsuyuu-kun? I didn't expect that, Ruyi-chan, you're also a Gojo Satoru shipper!"

Fuwa Ryuu: "..."

She wasn't a member of the Five Summers Party, but she really wore it.

Wu Tiao Wu placed the most orders with Xia Youjie, but his purpose was to get her to help him complete tasks.

Fuwa Ryui thought about it for a while and felt that it was a bit complicated to explain, so she simply gave up and didn't bother to explain anymore.

Then everyone in the club started talking about how they wore them too, and they began chatting about all sorts of wildly imaginative things.

The two who actually traveled through time were suddenly relegated to supporting roles in the background.

In fact, Fuwa Ryui genuinely believed that Oriyuki Karin had traveled through time, because the content of the theoretical lessons Oriyuki Karin mentioned was exactly the same as what she had seen.

In addition, the character played by Fuwa Ryui in the stage play that day was Gao Zhuanjie. After meeting Zhi Xue A Karin, she was called "Dad" by him.

With Fuwa Ryu's acting skills, she could clearly see that Oriyuki Karin called out "Dad" crisply and skillfully.

Origami Karin: How could I not be skilled? I've been asking you for a month!

Although Fuwa Ryu's hair was a wig and her face didn't match Xia Youjie's, the other person's acting skills really made her feel that the person in front of her was Xia Youjie! So she subconsciously called out.

After shouting, Karin was so embarrassed that she was about to make an excuse for herself, such as that she was trying to get into character.

But at that time, Fuwa Ryu was still in business mode, completely immersed in the role of DK Jie. The corners of her mouth very familiarly curled into a Natsuyou Jie-style smile that Oriyuki Ayakari knew well, and she replied, "Yeah, I kept Ayakari waiting. Did you have fun?"

People from other clubs around were screaming, saying it was as if they were seeing Xia Youjie become a father.

Oriyuki Ayaka: I think I saw it too.

She once again deeply understood why Fuwa Ryui was called a god in the cosplay world. What's the difference between her and Brother Jie?

Sigh... I wonder how Brother Jie and the others are doing. Their daughter was so grown up, and she just suddenly passed away. Will Brother Jie develop PTSD from buying shaved ice in the future?

And she's already spoiled the story of the cult leader, Jay, for them. So Jay shouldn't defect this time, right?

After thinking about a lot of things, Ayaka Shiki realized that she had remembered a lot of material she had accumulated at the vocational high school.

I must write this down while I still remember it clearly!

So, Yuki Ayaka worked through the night to write down all the materials, and also wrote down her own experience as a fan fiction, which she then posted online.

If there's food, everyone should share it.

Meanwhile, the curse returns to the world...

After Xia Youjie learned that Wutiao Wu had lost the child while looking after him, he almost wanted to feed Wutiao Wu to the cursed spirit.

Fortunately, he was reasonable and knew that it was beyond Gojo Satoru's control, so he didn't really blame Gojo Satoru.

Although he still beat up Gojo Satoru.

With such a grown daughter suddenly gone, Xia Youjie felt a real sense of emptiness and indescribable melancholy.

He asked Gojou Satoru Karin if she said anything before she left.

Gojo Satoru: "She said she thought I was a very reliable person, so she entrusted you to me."

Xia Youjie: "..."

He looked at Gojo Satoru speechlessly, his eyes conveying the message: Do I look like an idiot to you?

Does Ayakari think Satoru is reliable?

In Ayakari's eyes, he was probably the most unreliable person; even a fool could tell that such a statement was absolutely impossible.

When Gojo saw that no one believed him, he stopped being cheeky.

"Okay, she didn't say it like that, but that's the gist of it. Little Pear Blossom told me to find and kill that villainous corpse thief whose name I don't know, and also to take good care of you so you don't defect."

Xia Youjie was stunned.

He thought the child might be reluctant to leave him and would cry, not wanting to go. But he never expected that before leaving, Akari was only worried about her father.

Xia Youjie's heart melted completely.

He thought that even if it was just to fulfill Akari's wish, he wouldn't betray her. At the same time, he would definitely find a way to get rid of that unknown mastermind.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if he would have been able to meet Akari's mother if he hadn't defected.

He also wants to be Akari's father again in the future.

This time, he will definitely teach the child well.

Hmm...maybe he could pay more attention to those curse masters; perhaps he could find his future wife, whose identity is unknown, among them.

Returning to the topic of Yuki Ayaka, since her accidental cosplay, Yuki Ayaka has not done any cosplay.

Even when the club president, Kaori Matsue, tried to tempt her with money again, Karin Oriyuki...

No, this is really hard to refuse.

A sense of wishful thinking made her feel that people shouldn't be this unlucky.

The results proved that when people are having a run of bad luck, they don't even need to cosplay to travel through time.

So... let's introduce ourselves now. She, oh no, now it's him.

He, Iori Karin, no, if it's a boy... it's probably Hisa.

He is from Hiriki Iori, and he looks to be about eight years old. He is currently sitting in the infirmary of the Jujutsu High School.

Karin Oriyuki stared at her hand, which had shrunk again, and fell silent: "..."

I was just discussing with other friends and family members in the scriptwriting team who among the three was more likely to have a child...

A note from the author:
