A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Ye Shenyue

He had been observing from the very beginning of the battle.

He originally planned to wait until the two women were both exhausted and weakened before using the same tactic to launch a sneak attack.

Once Eye Q fires his Destruction Ray, he can easily achieve a double kill, taking down both Red King and Barton as reserves for his own power.

However, the fight just now had brought him to a sudden stop.

Chapter 229 One Mile Back to the Past

Light Yagami's gaze was fixed on the pink-haired girl who was holding a blue cat and had a silly grin on her face.

Not right.

Something is very wrong.

The Red King that the girl summoned was ridiculously powerful.

Light Yagami has carefully studied the settings for tokusatsu (special effects) films.

The ordinary Red King only has brute strength. If he encounters a monster like Barton, who can fly, breathe fire, and move nimbly, he will usually be kited to death.

But that Red King just now was not only incredibly strong, but also incredibly agile.

The feeling was as if the monster had been forcibly amplified by some unseen force.

What struck Light Yagami as most bizarre was the blue kitten that appeared out of nowhere.

The cat only appeared the instant Red King was recalled.

Although the energy fluctuations emanating from it were very weak, Light Yagami, with his extraordinary intuition, was still able to sense that it was not an ordinary creature from Earth.

So, being the usually cautious man he was, he managed to suppress the urge to act.

If I jump out now, and I can't kill that enhanced Red King in one fell swoop, I'll be in a tough fight. What's more, the opponent just won a Barton card with extremely strong single-target combat power.

He would never fight a battle he wasn't absolutely certain of winning. Yagami Light's primary goal right now is to collect specific material cards for the "Five Emperors".

Although Red King was powerful, he was not included in his fusion recipe plan, not to mention Barton.

It's not worth taking the risk for two cards that weren't part of the plan.

"Since it's not a necessity, let's leave it for now."

Light Yagami calmly stuffed the eyeglasses back into the inside pocket of his school uniform.

Then he turned around and silently retreated towards the exit of the Rainbow Space, disappearing quickly.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner behind the Sakigawa High School teaching building, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared in the air.

Then, the center of the ripples gradually coalesced into an arched gate of light, with pale golden light shining through the gaps, as if someone had torn a crack in the wall leading elsewhere.

After the light gate was fully formed, a pink head cautiously peeked out.

She was a girl with long pink hair, her bangs almost covering her eyes, and her cheeks were slightly flushed with nervousness.

She looked around like a frightened little animal, her movements stiff as if she had rusty gears on her neck.

This person is Kazama Ichiri from the future.

Her eyes darted around, scanning her surroundings.

The corridor, the windows, the classroom door signs, and the students walking around in twos and threes in the distance.

"This... should be a high school, right?"

Yili's voice was so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz. After speaking, he shrank back into the portal, only revealing half of his face to continue observing.

"What are you dawdling about! Get out of here!"

A loud Kansai accent rang out from behind her, followed by a fluffy orange paw slapping her on the back without hesitation, shoving her away.

"Wait, wait... I haven't confirmed if this is the right time yet..." Ichiri shrank his neck, still mostly stuck in the portal.

"Don't you trust the positioning accuracy of the timepiece?! It's been used for so many years!" Little Ke patted the back of her head with his wing. "If you dawdle any longer, your magic will run out! Hurry up!"

Yili staggered a few steps as he was pushed and shoved, finally managing to leave the portal completely.

The golden door closed silently behind her and vanished into the air.

"Ugh... Xiao Ke, what are you doing?"

She turned around with a pitiful look on her face, only to find that the ball of fur had already flown to her shoulder with an expression of complete entitlement.

"Time waits for no one, you idiot! Are you going to squat at that hole until dark?"

Xiao Ke's disdain was impossible to hide.

"I... I was just checking... What if I traveled to the wrong time..."

Yili leaned against the wall to stand up, patted the dust off her skirt, and glanced around again.

The building has a modern architectural style, and there are posters for club recruitment and flyers for the cultural festival posted in the corridor.

Xiao Ke flew to her ear and said, "Are you sure? This is Sakigawa High School in 2020, the time when your dad was still a sophomore."

"Judging from the environment... it should be correct." Ichiri's gaze wandered, and he subconsciously shrank into the shadows of the buildings.

Xiao Ke sighed, "Alright, alright, time is of the essence. Let's hurry up and find that scoundrel Qian Yu. You know how chaotic things are in the future. Those inexplicable superpower cards have brought the entire social order to a standstill. I swear on my life, this is definitely a landmine that guy planted back in the past."

"Um……"

"And what happened? He didn't say a word to you, leaving you, his daughter, to clean up a mess. How many performances have you missed lately because of dealing with all this trouble? Hongxia and the others are almost driven crazy with worry!"

"Don't...don't mention the performance..." Ichiri's voice trembled with tears, "Nijika-senpai and the others hardly recognize me anymore..."

Little Ke was so angry that she flapped her wings wildly.

"That's why we said we need to solve the problem at its source! Since those cards started spreading around this time, let's find Qianyu directly and nip the problem in the bud!"

Yili nodded weakly.

Xiao Ke came up with this terrible idea, but she had to admit that it made sense.

Instead of struggling in the future, we should go back to the past and figure out what really happened from the source.

The issue is……

"Um... Xiao Ke..."

"What's wrong?"

"How...how are we going to find Dad...?"

Xiao Ke paused for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "Of course we'd ask someone for directions. This school is so big, and we don't even know which class he's in. We can't exactly search every classroom, can we?"

"Ask...ask for directions..."

Yili's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Yeah, ask for directions." Xiao Ke pointed with his wings to a group of students walking by in the distance. "Look, there are some people over there. Go ask them if they know where Kazama Chihiro is."

"..."

Ichiri's body began to tremble slightly.

Kazama Ichiri, sixteen years old, from the future.

The lead guitarist of the band End, the well-known online guitarist guitarhero, Kazama-painted magician.

But all of these titles are useless at this moment.

Because an obstacle more terrifying than any disaster lay before her.

people.

People were everywhere.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Xiao Ke sensed something was amiss.

"I...I..." Yili's teeth chattered. "I...I can't help it..."

"What?"

"I can't...voluntarily...talk to...strangers..."

Xiao Ke: "..."

Chapter 230 Saving the World, the Difficulty Lies in Asking for Directions

The orange-yellow plush lion froze in mid-air for a full three seconds before looking at its owner with an extremely complex expression.

"Are you kidding me?"

"N-no..." Ichiri's voice trailed off, "I really... can't do it..."

"You can solo card battles now! Weren't you pretty awesome when you took on that 300-meter-tall doll card battle one-on-one?!"

"Th-that's different..." Ichiri lowered her head, her bangs completely obscuring her eyes. "Playing the card game...you don't need to talk..."

Xiao Ke felt her blood pressure soaring by ten percent per second.

It took a deep breath, forcing itself to calm down: "Fine, then I'll go ask myself."

"Wait!" Ichiri quickly grabbed its tail. "You can't go out!"

"Why!"

"Because...because of you like this...it will cause a riot..." Ichiri pointed to Keroberos's fluffy doll-like form, "People will scream...people will call the police...it will be on the news..."

Xiao Ke opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't refute it.

It really shouldn't be exposed to people casually. Imagine a flying, talking toy lion appearing on campus... just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"What should we do then?" it glared at Yili with exasperation. "We can't just stand there, can we?"

"I...I'll give it a try..."

Yili bit her lip; she had to find her father.

For the peace of the future world.

So that her band's performances would no longer be interrupted by those inexplicable card crises.
