With no other option, there were few means of transportation available at night besides taxis, so he had no choice but to sleep wherever he was.
Time flies.
Manami Aragaki took the earliest bus to the outskirts of Tokyo, near Chiba, where she lived.
As he exited the station and saw the long queue of office workers forming, he couldn't help but sigh. If he didn't have any special abilities, he probably would have become one of them.
After thinking it over, he went straight home and took out the stone carving he had taken from Fengdu. He had bought it for fifty yuan, which was actually a loss. However, the seller seemed to be very principled, and his plan to buy it for ten yuan ultimately failed.
Honestly.
Mana Aragaki doesn't currently have any thoughts like "I've traveled through time, so I'm the protagonist" or "I'm doing a live stream, so I'm the protagonist."
He might have had those before, but when he actually traveled through time and faced a dozen suitors for his "unexplained fiancée," he immediately came to his senses.
Everyone can be the protagonist, but you must never think of yourself as the protagonist, otherwise you will easily become a clown.
Therefore, he did not believe that he would always be able to successfully find bargains.
After quietly examining the childlike, bird-shaped stone sculpture for a while, Aragaki Manami suddenly crushed it.
"It's so real."
It's so real it's almost unpleasant.
Yingzhou. Yuzuki Yukino, who had been woken up by her maid and was watching a live stream while eating a soufflé omelet, was unusually stunned for quite a while.
This is the first time Manami Aragaki has ever spoken to herself!
"Hey, so you've finally learned to make fun of yourself? You must be regretting that 50 yuan."
"It's a pity about the 50 yuan."
Similarly, in the Qiming Empire, Mo Qingxian was also muttering to himself.
If she were next to Aragaki Manami, she could support him with her own hands even without relying on her family. Instead, she's upset because she bought the wrong thing.
Just as Mo Qingxian was about to offer some words of comfort, her grandfather, the Grand Secretary of the Qiming Empire, happened to come out for breakfast. "Qingxian, don't be so idle every day."
“This isn’t shirking my duties; I’m keeping an eye on Manami so I can comfort him when he’s unhappy.”
Mo Qingxian said earnestly.
The Grand Secretary sighed wearily, saying nothing more. He glanced at the large screen, then casually reached out and grabbed what seemed like thin air, but instead caught a small boy with bloodshot eyes and frighteningly pale skin…
He couldn't help but think to himself that someone with such a strong mental fortitude might not necessarily need comfort from others.
Let's turn our attention back to Mana Aragaki.
He squinted at the little boy in his hand, whose mouth was slightly open and was making a meowing sound, and smiled: "I'll come find you soon."
laugh!
Flames appeared out of nowhere, and the little boy, Toshio Saeki, vanished completely.
Manami Aragaki remained unfazed, went to the computer to search for nearby libraries and bookstores, and soon went out again.
boom.
Two almost overlapping voices rang out. Aragaki Manami looked up at the pretty girl next to her, who was also standing with the door open. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, a middle school student. Their eyes met.
Calm and peaceful.
Manami Aragaki nodded, and the girl nodded in unison, thus ending their exchange.
Destination—the library! He needed to find information about Kayako and carefully check if it differed from his memory, as he had devised a special method to deal with her, so the information needed to be detailed.
However, as groups of girls walked toward the train station, Manami Aragaki immediately turned around and left. There seemed to be quite a few girls' schools nearby, which explained why there weren't many office workers around at this time; they had all subconsciously avoided the area.
He was no exception, of course.
Being surrounded by a lot of people and eyes is not a good thing, especially among women.
After all, hooligans don't discriminate between men and women.
He then walked to a nearby bookstore, a bookstore in the Chiba area, since his address was too close to Chiba.
His purpose in going into the bookstore was, of course, to buy books.
Because the mythology of this world may differ from his understanding, some techniques need to be improved if there are discrepancies.
Ultimately, he will rely on mythology to strengthen himself in the future, so he naturally needs to understand it thoroughly.
"Because I don't have a photographic memory and can't remember much of the content in a book, I have to buy the book instead of going to the library for convenience."
As expected, he wasn't the main character.
At most, it's just that my memory is a little better.
Manami Aragaki pondered casually, then quickly followed the shop assistant's directions and turned the corner to her destination, only to see... a light brown-haired girl slowly placing her hand on a box with a cover that seemed somewhat indescribable.

Chapter 18 Kirino Kousaka and the Paper Doll! Kayako from Ju-on Attacks!
"go!"
This was Aragaki Manami's first thought.
Thinking that he had done it, he took his second step and turned at an almost imperceptible yet extremely natural angle, returning the way he came!
Try to avoid awkward situations, whether they are your own or someone else's.
This is something that any normal person would do.
Manami Aragaki feels perfectly normal and doesn't think there's anything particularly unusual about her.
At least he's not a pervert.
He would naturally try his best to abide by this unspoken rule.
Just like yesterday's scene of the couple's complete breakup, since he had guessed it, if he still ate heartily, it would seem like he was turning pleasure into a seasoning.
It looks cheap.
He thought it unnecessary to do that, so he decided to simply play dead.
no big deal.
Therefore, if you encounter someone else in a rather embarrassing situation now... it's only natural to leave.
Honestly.
"It's quite cute." Aragaki Manami thought to himself.
The girl's happy and beautiful smile was like that of an angel, gradually overlapping with the image of a "paper doll" in my mind, and her image became more and more complete.
He felt that the world he had come from was extraordinary.
On the other side...
The girl with light brown hair, Kirino Kousaka, turned her head quite alertly and saw a familiar figure from behind.
Her innocent and adorable face displayed an astonishingly expressive facial expression.
She immediately withdrew her hand and rushed towards a certain spot with quick, silent steps. Her heart pounded as she stared wide-eyed at the direction the figure had disappeared, her facial expressions becoming increasingly exaggerated...
Kirino Kousaka gritted her teeth, but in her inner world, she let out a shameful scream: "Oohh ...
I should have worn casual clothes, a hat, a mask, and sunglasses tomorrow, when it's a holiday, before we went out!
It's too late now!
Could we have been discovered?
That's Ayase's brother! He's definitely Ayase's brother! There's no way I'm mistaken!
That eye-catching feeling is absolutely right!
So... he wouldn't tell Ayase, would he? What if the class knew she was an otaku...?
"No! We absolutely can't let anyone know! I need to talk to him!!"
Kirino Kousaka immediately decided to give chase, but Aragaki Manami was nowhere to be seen.
On the other side...
As she walked out of the bookstore, Manami Aragaki chuckled softly and headed towards another bookstore that was quite far away.
[Hahahaha, this country is hopeless! Was that 18+ just now?!]
[Whether it's Yingzhou or Japan, the names are all the same. This industry is really developed, haha.]
[Aragaki-sama skillfully handles all sorts of awkward and embarrassing situations.]
[Is this what erotic art looks like? It's definitely much more advanced than what we have here.]
Where's the ghost? Where's the female ghost? If ghosts can appear in broad daylight, why hasn't the female ghost shown up yet? I'm waiting!
[Looking forward to it? Looking forward to it my foot! When you actually encounter it, see if you have even a fraction of Aragaki Manabu's courage. You'd be more likely to wet your pants, you gloating idiot!]
It's still a very noisy live stream.
It seemed that no useful information was gleaned, and Aragaki Manami, as usual, ignored it.
After spending six or seven minutes arriving at the second bookstore, Manami Aragaki noticed some unwrapped books and started taking notes while browsing them. As for the more important books, she simply bought them and took them home to continue studying them.
The Great Tang Empire. Princess Chang Le, who was reading a book, stared at Aragaki Mana's focused and attentive expression, her gaze slightly changed.
Princess Sizi of Jinyang, who always liked to stick close to her, said, "Master Xinyuan also loves books just like my sister."
"After all, he is not an ordinary person; he is beyond the reach of us mere mortals."
"Oh……"
Seeing that her sister was in a bad mood, Sizi didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she unconsciously touched the warm jade on her body that seemed to be making her feel more comfortable.
Warm jade was given by Shinan Aragaki.
She was also a student at Yucai Academy, the academy founded by her uncle who passed away a few years ago. She attended classes there often, which is how she met Aragaki Manami.
After a few chance encounters, and seeing that he was eating rather poorly, she couldn't help but ask someone to give her some pastries... Later, Aragaki Manami also gave her a warm jade on one of her occasions, which she originally did not intend to accept.
She didn't know how she was persuaded, but she felt that she was being too greedy.
