Chapter 20, Chapter 1: Then You Are My Mother
When Ayaka Shiki found herself inexplicably in the college's infirmary, only one thought occupied her mind—Oh my god, here we go again?
Are you kidding me
The idea of bombing Tokyo Tower reached its peak once again.
There are millions of people on Earth, why do you have to pick on me?
Zhixue Yahuali: “#&*@……”
But it's clear now that she'll be staying here for a while again. All that's left for Oriyuki Karin to do is grumble inwardly as she begins preparing her character and script for this project.
Yes, that's right, she's going to create a new persona again.
Zhi Xueya Karin easily noticed the significant difference between this time and the last time—the altitude of her field of vision was noticeably higher.
Through the reflective glass of the infirmary, she quickly ascertained her approximate condition.
Judging by his height, he already exceeds the standard for free admission for children, and he is probably eight or nine years old.
Let's set it at eight years old for now. Having already been a child once, Karin Origami knows that the younger the child, the better.
In addition... she underwent gender reassignment surgery.
After glancing at her pants with a slightly lewd look, Karin realized the problem.
cough……
Her ears turned red and she quickly let go of his hand.
Do we have to pee standing up from now on?
...
Having never unlocked this skill before, Yuki Ayaka felt a bit lost.
Forget it, let's put this issue aside for now and focus on confirming the character design.
The little boy's face...it was very familiar. She had pasted it several times during her last playthrough—Ieiri Shoko.
Well, this time it's the Asian rosewood.
No, that's not right. Isn't it a bit too effeminate for a boy to be named Akari?
After thinking for a moment, Karin Oriyuki changed her name to Hiri Ieiri.
Fei Li is her online name, a rather neutral name. She originally wanted to create a mature and sophisticated image, and now it's perfect for her.
Okay, identity, age, and name are confirmed. Next step—create a skill to save your life.
Thinking of this, Ayaka Shiki felt like crying.
If I had known I would have to wear it again, I should have trained properly with Gojo Satoru and Natsume in the last playthrough!
Oh right, I should also go and learn acting from Sister Liuyi!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now. I'll deal with it this playthrough...
The thought of having to go to training made Karin Oriyuki think, "#*&@..."
Let's just blow up Tokyo Tower after all!!!
call……
Calm down, she needs to calm down.
On the bright side, this time it's the dog's offspring!
Thinking back to the feeling of being hugged by the older sister when I was Natsuyu Ayaka, and then thinking about Ieiri Shoko's black stockings...
Suddenly, Yuki Ayaka felt confident again.
Getting back to the point—first of all, I am Shoko's daughter, oh no, son.
So my technique is...
Hey! Reversal spells are so unreliable!? Am I supposed to learn from Brother Bone and inject the reversal spell into the cursed spirit's body?
Recalling the scene in the original work where Otsuku Yuta kissed the giant cockroach cursed spirit, Oriyuki Karin felt her vision go black.
My first kiss is still intact!
No, absolutely not! She needs to change it.
Hmm... Could you play it externally? Just a slight modification, so it doesn't have to be a direct curse.
Never mind, let's stick with this for now.
As for the script... This time, Ayaka Oriyuki has learned her lesson and will not write a script yet, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to meet the person and then finding that the time doesn't match up again.
She flipped through the medical records in the infirmary and found the date—2006.
That was when the trio was in their second year, and the most crucial event of that year occurred—the Astral Matter Incident.
Okay, it seems she already knows what her "mission objective" is this time.
Daddy...
Shit! Are you kidding me?
Me? Hit Daddy? Seriously?
Karin felt that things were a bit serious.
Even with the most powerful reversal technique, all it can do is bring Wujiao Wu back. Fight Daddy? Dream on. It's better to just kill her.
No, she needs to modify her technique.
No, she's just a weakling. No matter how hard she tries, she can't possibly beat Daddy!
Zhixue Yahuali: “#&*@……”
They really went and blew up Tokyo Tower...
Wait, she has an idea.
Once you open your mind, you'll know she can't beat him, but if Gojo Satoru learns the Reversal Technique, then you can beat him!
How can I teach Gojo Satoru the Reversal Technique?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhi Xueya and Hua Li had a general idea in mind.
Since that's the case, then... let's begin "prayer"!
“My mother is Ieiri Shoko, and my technique is a derivative of the Reverse Technique, the Reverse Spell.”
As Yuki Akarin recited the words, she thought to herself: My true ability should be the power of words! Who makes up their own abilities?
Soon, the "Word of Power" was successfully activated, and Karin felt the changes within her body.
They could barely be considered to have a tiny, insignificant ability to protect themselves...
Yuki Karin started to miss the days when she was Natsuyu Karin, at least there was a Yuki-onna there, so she didn't have to do everything herself QAQ...
He diligently filled in the details of his own creation and drafted a rough script...
Wait, who is my dad?
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
We can't have another case of an unknown father.
Although it doesn't seem impossible, but... what if she really has terrible luck and travels through time again?
Given how familiar Ayaka Shiki is with the various tropes of cosplaying characters from novels, she either only wears the costume once or she wears it many times.
Karin Origami started cursing in her mind again.
Could she go and blow up Tokyo Tower every time she wears it?
call……
Calm down, calm down...
Karin Origami walked to the door, listened quietly, and since there seemed to be no movement in the corridor, she quietly opened the door and peeked into the next room.
Great, she found the counseling room.
In other words, she wore the same world both times.
Closing the door and returning to the infirmary, Ayaka Oriyuki begins writing a new script—a world setting for a large-scale, continuous time travel adventure.
As she wove, she felt utterly miserable.
Is this what it means for a writer to time-travel? They have to write their own scripts...
Time flew by, and just as Ayaka Arashi was about to finish perfecting her script, the door to the infirmary was opened from the outside.
Yuki Ayaka subconsciously looked towards the door and saw who had come in.
Black stockings, short orange hair, and a beauty mark near the corner of her eye.
──The family has glass.
Ieiri Shoko didn't see Oriyuki Karin immediately. Oriyuki Karin thought for a moment and then asked, "Who are you?"
Ieiri Glass:?
She hadn't expected anyone to be in the infirmary. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a little boy who looked strangely familiar.
The little boy wore a T-shirt over a shirt as an outer layer, paired with dark blue trousers and black sneakers, and looked quite trendy.
"Who are you……?"
Before she could ask anything else, Karin Origami asked her instead, "Why...do you look so much like my mother?"
Mother?
Shoko Ieiri was puzzled for a moment, but then something suddenly occurred to her.
She finally understood why the little boy in front of her looked familiar; his eyes... were exactly like hers.
The same hair color, strikingly similar facial features, and recalling what the other person had just said, a rather inappropriate thought popped into Shoko's head—
"You're not my mother's child with another man, are you?"
No, those words weren't spoken by Shoko, a family member; they were spoken by the child across from her.
Ieiri Glass: "..."
Although she had a similar thought for a fleeting moment.
“No, I should still be able to confirm that my parents are legally married,” she said somewhat helplessly, then introduced herself, “My name is Ieiri Shoko, little girl, you…”
She was about to ask the child's name when she saw the child's eyes widen and shout, "Mommy!?"
Family Glass:?
She turned her head and looked behind her.
There's nobody here.
Seeing this, Karin suppressed a laugh, then quickly stepped forward, feigning surprise, and asked Shoko Ieiri, "Mom, are you Mom? How did you shrink?"
Ieiri Glass: "...?"
No, I am not your mother.
Karin Oori asked, "Didn't you say you were Iori Shoko?"
Shoko Ieiri nodded: "Yes."
Karin Oriyuki said firmly, "Then you are my mother!"
Ieiri Glass: "..."
Recalling the experience of someone who became a father unexpectedly a year ago, an absurd thought flashed through her mind.
No way...?
"What's your name?" she asked the child.
"Home comes to Feili!"
Ieiri Glass: "..."
She wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
──
I didn't end up smoking a cigarette. When I reached out to touch it at home, I met the little kid's bright, sparkling eyes.
Oriyuki Karin: Can she see her older sister blowing smoke rings?
Ieiri Glass: "."
Last time, Ieiri Shoko didn't smoke in front of Natsuyu Ayakari, and this time she continues to uphold her principle of not smoking in front of children.
Fortunately, with Xia Youjie's precedent, Ieiri Shoko quickly accepted the fact that she suddenly had such a big son.
The main problem is that there doesn't seem to be any other way to resolve this; it's not like she can just close the door and send the child back...
She went next door to take a look, and Mr. Narita was sitting there.
When she arrived, Mr. Narita smiled and asked her, "Oh, it's Ieiri-kun. Is there something you'd like to talk to me about?"
Ieiri Shoko was actually there to confirm whether she or the child was wearing the clothes. Seeing that Narita-sensei looked exactly the same as yesterday, she concluded that the problem definitely wasn't with her.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally went to the wrong place, sorry to bother you."
After saying that, she closed the door and went back to the infirmary.
Sitting face-to-face with Karin Oriyuki, Shoko Ieiri looked somewhat resigned. She briefly explained the situation to Karin: "Hiri... is that right? If nothing unexpected happens, you must have accidentally traveled to our side. Do you know how you got here?"
To Karin Oriyuki, these words meant—"Tell me, what's your script this time?"
Having already polished the script, Ayaka Shiki was full of energy and began her performance.
A note from the author:

After considering everyone's opinions, I've decided to remove the parallel world storyline. That way, I can write less (smokes cigarette.jpg) (blowing smoke rings.jpg)
