Chapter 2. If I act well, I'm a genius; if I act poorly, I'm a nobody...

After thinking for a moment, Ayaka Shiki tentatively said, "My technique is... Spirit Manipulation Technique."

The words, once spoken, remained unchanged.

Ayaka Kaori was slightly puzzled.

Isn't that wrong?

She thought that whatever she said was law.

etc……

Zhi Xueya Karin changed her words: "I am Xia Youjie's daughter, and my spell should be the Spell Manipulation Technique."

Upon hearing this, Karin suddenly felt as if something had appeared inside her body.

It's hard to describe the feeling, but I, Karin Ooyuki, definitely felt it.

It's [Spirit Manipulation Technique], she has the spell.

So, it's not enough to just say it; do I also have to add, "My dad is Xia Youjie"?

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

What kind of outrageous setting is this?

Putting aside the strange premise of "my dad is Li Gang," Zhi Xueya Karin thought for a moment and decided that she should prioritize her safety. So, after careful consideration, she added, "My dad is Xia Youjie, and I have a top-tier cursed spirit."

Hmm... nothing has changed.

Zhi Xueya Huali scratched her head and then changed her approach: "I am Xia Youjie's daughter, so I should be able to control a top-tier cursed spirit."

Nothing has changed.

It's not working anymore?

Is it only allowed twice a day? Or has she simply not found the right pattern yet?

After pondering for a while, Ayaka Oriyuki put her imagination to the limit as a member of the scriptwriting team...

Finally, she frowned slightly and tentatively spoke again: "My father is Xia Youjie. He is a top-level sorcerer. As his daughter, I should be able to possess a top-level spirit."

This time, the change she had been waiting for finally arrived.

Ayaka's eyes lit up, not because she suddenly felt a connection to the special-grade cursed spirit, but because she finally understood her current abilities.

It's not "My dad is Xia Youjie", it's the reason!

She can add settings for herself, but she must provide a reasonable explanation!

Because she is Xia Youjie's daughter, she can be a sorcerer, possess the ability to manipulate spirits, and have a top-tier spirit.

Yes, yes, I like it.

With her life secured, Karin Origami eagerly tried to activate the magic within her body, releasing the special-grade cursed spirit she had created for herself—the Snow Woman.

A chilling aura swept over her, and Karin Oriyuki instinctively looked up.

With her long, snow-white hair reaching the ground, the graceful figure of a mature woman that Karin Oriyuki had always longed for, the simple and elegant kimono, and... a face that could make anyone's sanity plummet.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

What exactly is she expecting?

Wiping her face, Shiki Ayaka comforted herself: After all, it's a cursed spirit, you can't expect it to be really good-looking. Anyway, she's gotten shorter now, so she can just not look up at her face next time.

Wait a minute, the reason that you've become shorter and can't see your face seems more like stabbing yourself in the back than offering comfort, doesn't it?

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

He vomited blood.

Enough, enough. Regaining her composure, Karin Ooyuki recalled some non-existent memories—

A man wearing five robes held "her" and handed her a black orb of cursed spirits.

"Yahuali, come on, eat this." He coaxed gently.

She asked the other person, "Dad, what is this?"

"It's a gift from your father."

Then the memory jumps to the scene of the child crying her eyes out after finishing the food. The man kept comforting "her," but also kept saying, "Only in this way can you become stronger. Akari is very strong, so this is something Akari must learn to take on."

Feeling as if her very soul had been linked to that nauseating, disgusting sensation, all Ooyuki Karin wanted to do was curse.

Screw your responsibility! Take it if you want, ugh—

Karin felt completely awful, as if she were the one who had actually eaten a cursed spirit ball.

She began to regret having acquired the Spell of Spirit Manipulation.

Can she change to someone else now?

Reversal spells, ten types of shadow spells, projection spells, anything goes...

Unfortunately, the settings were unreasonable and the proposal was rejected.

Unless her mother is from the Iori family, or her surname is Fushiguro... that's quite unreasonable.

With tears in her eyes, Ayaka Shiki resigned herself to her fate.

Next, we need to think about how she will get back.

Although I don't know what kind of script I have or what I need to do to get back, trying to stay close to the main plot is definitely the right thing to do.

So... I'll go to the Spellcasting Major first.

"I wonder what timeline we're in now, and whether Brother Jie is still alive or not."

But regardless of whether Brother Jie is alive or dead, as Xia Youjie's daughter, it seems unlikely that she would be associated with the Spellcasting Academy, right?

Shiki Ayaka Rin furrowed her brow.

No, she had to come up with a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, she was an undocumented person from another world with a bunch of unexplained issues, which would make her too suspicious.

"Let me think..."

After Xia Youjie died and became Lu Suo, she was a lonely little girl who couldn't beat anyone. So she had no choice but to seek help from Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in the world, who had defeated her father.

"Even though they're the enemy, and my dad died at their hands, it's normal for me to go to the vocational high school to ask Gojo Satoru for help since I can't beat Brain Flower, right? They're close friends. My dad must have told me that."

"Besides, look, my dad's gone, and I'm so young. He needs to find somewhere to entrust me to, right? Even though Gojo Satoru's ability to take care of children is practically nonexistent, where is there a better place to entrust an orphan than a place with a high level of jutsu expertise?"

"Yes, it's perfect, absolutely perfect."

And so, Karin Oriyuki decided to go to the Jujutsu High School.

She stood up and stood still.

Hmm... So... where is the advanced level in sorcery?

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Wait a minute, let her add some details to her settings.

"Hmm... let me see..."

It seems that Brother Jie led a group to declare war on the High School of Spellcasting, right?

Zhi Xueya Karin spoke up: "Before the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, my father, Xia Youjie, took me to the High School of Spellcasting to declare war."

Could this give her some non-existent memories related to advanced sorcery?

The next second, nothing happened.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Okay, there's a bug. I'll fix it.

I've been there once already, I shouldn't forget...

Wait a minute, it seems there really might be a reason for me not to remember.

If I remember correctly, everyone else was put into the mouth of that big-mouthed pelican; it would be a miracle if they could remember the way.

Origami Karin scratched her head: Hmm... I don't know where the Spellcasting Specialization is, but you must know about that pelican, right?

After thinking for a while, Yuki Ayakari decided to add another setting for herself.

You've already sent a top-tier spirit, Brother Jie, oh no, Dad, you could also send your daughter a vehicle, right?

And so, having acquired the Great Mouth Pelican's cursed spirit, Karin Orishita successfully embarked on her journey to the High School of Spellcasting.

Indeed, the pelican had flown by once and knew the area well.

It feels like being nestled in a bird's beak...it doesn't seem very clean.

On the way, Zhi Xueya made some more preparations.

Actually, I just added some more details to my character profile and thought about what Gojo Satoru might ask me when I meet him later, so I filled in the details.

"Oh right, there's also the character design. Character design... If it's the daughter of the cult leader Jay, I should call ordinary people 'monkeys' and show some disgust when I see them in the future."

"Well, my attitude towards Gojo Satoru should be a bit complicated. Although I'm going to ask him for help, and although he and my dad are good friends, my dad is indeed in their hands."

"And it also shows the sadness of losing his father. Hmm... children probably don't really understand death, so it should be the sadness of never seeing their father again."

"Wait a minute," she muttered to herself, then suddenly realized a serious problem, "I'm just a writer, do I have the acting skills?"

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Blind student, let me tell you something: I've discovered a key point.

Zhi Xueya Karin was on the verge of tears: "Liuyi-nee, my Liuyi-nee, if I had known this would happen, I would definitely have learned acting from you!"

Fuwa Ryuu, a popular cosplayer in their group, is a graduate of a performing arts program with top-notch acting skills. She then became a cosplayer and is known in the industry as a top-tier cosplayer who most resembles the character. She often teaches other members of the group how to act.

However, Ayaka Kaori is just a writer. She has discussed with the other party how to analyze the character, but she has never learned how to act.

Who would have thought that they would one day travel through time?

I should have learned it!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and Ayaka Arakawa died with regret.

Oh no, it's not quite over yet, and it won't be over that quickly.

Zhi Xueya Karin wiped away her bitter tears and comforted herself: "Forget it, never mind. I'm just a little kid now, what do I know? If I can act, I will. If I can't act, it's because I'm young and don't know any better."

"Yes, that's it. You can use this to fool people if there are any bugs or things that weren't set up properly. If I act well, I'm a genius; if I mess it up, I'm a kid."

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's exactly it, very nice."

Okiyuki Karin suddenly felt that it was quite nice to be a child again. Anyway, when in doubt, she could just say that she was young. How could you argue with a child?

Huh? Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel better.

I really am a scriptwriting genius!

Okay, let's continue working on the script. Let her think about anything else that needs attention.

As Yuki Ayaka continues to fill in the settings, she discovers that non-existent memories in her mind are also beginning to accumulate.

Some of her past interactions with Xia Youjie, and even... she began to develop feelings for Xia Youjie, her adoptive father.

Suddenly, Shiki Ayaka realized she missed Xia Youjie terribly.

"Wait, this isn't right, is it?" Kiryuki Ayaka pressed her chest, feeling that something was amiss.

She only started creating this persona to survive and return home; she can't really turn herself into Natsuyu Ayakari, can she?

She thought this through and suppressed her feelings.

Then she discovered... it was simply pressed down.

Without any difficulty, she easily suppressed those feelings. Although it sounds strange, she could feel herself transforming from Natsuyuki Karin back into Oriyuki Karin.

Zhi Xueya understood; this thing was controllable.

"That's exactly what I need to improve my acting!" Karin Ayumi suddenly realized.

That's right, that's how it should be. After all, not everyone is like the freakishly top-tier cosplayers in their group, professional actors who can convincingly portray any character. That's the kind of cheat code ordinary people should have!

Yes, that's good, I'm very satisfied.

That makes it even better; she can work with confidence and without worrying about not being able to perform well.

If we can't act it out, we have a cheat code!

Yuki Ayaka was immediately relieved and buried herself in thinking about what to say when she met Gojo Satoru later.

Oh right, she probably can't just tell the other person that she's time-traveled yet. A five-year-old child shouldn't normally know what time travel is. So she has to find a way to make Gojo Satoru realize that she's time-traveled.

Hmm... He's a trendsetter who keeps up with the latest fashion trends, so he should be able to figure it out quickly, right?

Keep it up, Gojo Satoru! I believe you're the best!

Oh no, I believe you are the strongest!

Soon after, Ayakari felt that the bird seemed to be descending in altitude.

She poked her head out from the bird's beak and saw a cluster of buildings hidden deep in the mountains and forests not far away.

Clearly, that's a vocational college.

The time was almost here, and Yuki Ayaka went through the script and character design she had just prepared in her mind one last time.

Okay, that's about it. If there are any other questions, she should just say she doesn't know.

"That's right, that's exactly right. What could a five-year-old kid like me know? Don't ask. If you do, I'll say I don't know. If you ask again, you're being impolite."

Although Gojo Satoru did seem to be quite rude, Oriyuki Karin didn't care.

That's it, whatever, I'm a kid, I'm invincible.

At this moment, Yuki Ayakari had long forgotten her resounding declaration, made several times before, that she wanted to be a strong, mature woman.

Forget mature and sophisticated women, forget capable and strong women, she's just a kid today!

All done, get off the bus!

Oh no, I mean, bird landing!

Then she found herself too embarrassed to go down.

Zhixue Yahuali: "..."

Couldn't those legs be a little longer?! Shrinking them to the size of a four or five-year-old is a bit too much! Couldn't Brother Jie have found a partner and had a child the year after his defection, so she could be nine or ten years old now?

Just as Yuki Ayaka was struggling to land on her short legs, the scene from the beginning unfolded.

Gojo Satoru and Natsume appeared, and Natsume even helped carry her down.

God knows what Ooyuki Ayakari felt when she saw Jie-ge's face.

With squinty eyes and a bun hairstyle, although there are some differences between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, Karin Oriyuki recognized this person immediately.

Wait, no way...

DK Jay!?

No, could it be someone else? After all, there are other people at the Jujutsu Specialist, maybe even characters who haven't appeared in the anime?

Clinging to that last sliver of hope, Karin Origami turned to look at the person behind her.

White hair, small sunglasses, and most importantly—those eyes.

That's right. Although it's the first time I've seen a three-dimensional version, just one glance is enough to tell you that those incredibly unique eyes are six-eyed.

No doubt about it, DK Wu, DK Jie, this is... the Huaiyu chapter.

In that instant, Ayaka Shiki felt as if all the preparations she had made for the teacher had been smashed to pieces.

Influenced by Natsuyuki Karin's character setting, Oriyuki Karin felt both incredibly happy and incredibly wronged to see her deceased father.

With these two emotions combined, Ayaka Shiki burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Daddy...why did you shrink..."

How could you be a DK?

"Dad, you're still here... I thought you were dead..."

Eighty percent of my script is arranged according to the main timeline...
