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

Chapter 267 Madoka is awesome

The next day.

The lobby on the first floor of the old teaching building of Sakigawa United High School, a private school.

As soon as Qianyu turned the corner, she caught a glimpse of a pink, unidentified object crouching in the shadows behind the vending machine.

The pink blob was trembling slightly at an extremely unnatural frequency.

Qianyu took two steps closer.

Ichiri was wearing his signature pink tracksuit, curling himself up into a perfect ball.

She hid half her body in the shadows, only peeking out half her head, staring at the other end of the corridor.

Following her gaze, the door to the Monster Research Club's activity room was half-open.

Akane Shinjo was sitting at the table, fiddling with a model of a two-tailed monster in her hand, and seemed to be humming an unknown tune.

As Qian Fan approached, he heard a very soft murmur.

"Um... Xiao Ke, I can't do this kind of thing well... I absolutely can't do it well..."

"Alright, Boqi, stop scaring yourself. Qianyu is just a bit mean-spirited; he wouldn't abandon you like that."

"Besides, you still have my great Lord Cerberus with you! What are you afraid of? Go for it! Give the script you have to the other side and increase the intensity for Chiyu—"

"What are you plotting?" Qianyu asked.

"babble--!"

Yili sprang up, his head hitting the wall with a dull thud.

Xiao Ke, who was standing next to her, was also startled.

Qianyu stood with her hands in her school uniform pockets, looking down at the couple.

"Dad, Dad!"

Yili's voice suddenly rose half an octave, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he finally twisted them together on the hem of his tracksuit.

"I...I...I wasn't peeking! I was just...just passing by! I happened to stop and rest for a bit!"

"Why are you squatting like this just passing by?"

Yili's face turned almost the same color as his hair.

"You two have been staring at Qian for ages. I've been standing behind you for almost two minutes." Qianyu flicked Boqi's forehead. "Never mind, I happened to have something to ask you."

Upon hearing the words "serious business," Ichiri quickly straightened up, leaning against the wall. Chiyu rarely spoke in this tone; the last time she used this tone was when she was asked to deal with Homura Akemi.

"Is...I'm to...assassinate someone...?"

"Is that all you have left in your mind now?"

Qianyu sighed, her gaze sweeping across the empty corridor, her voice low.

"Do you currently possess any ability that can completely block eavesdropping?"

Pochi paused for a moment upon hearing this, looking completely bewildered.

Qianyu lowered her voice.

"I'm talking about complete isolation, not just ordinary barriers or enchantments. I'm talking about a space that even higher-dimensional beings can't detect. No matter what kind of omniscient and omnipotent monster the other party is, they won't be able to hear a single syllable."

Chiba needs absolute secrecy.

The will of that world could send its consciousness down at any time, and the feeling of being watched by a higher-dimensional perspective around the clock was unsettling.

Before you can figure out what the other party is up to, you must find a blind spot where there is no surveillance.

Yili tilted his head and thought about it seriously.

Then she pulled a card from her tracksuit pocket, on which was written the word "points".

"The Split Card."

"It...it can forcibly detach the user from their current world and throw them into a space where nothing exists...a place that doesn't belong to any dimension, where all the laws of the outside world don't apply."

Qianyu stared at the card. "Are you sure?"

Yili nodded, then added, "When I have a social anxiety attack, I usually hide in there... It's super safe, safer than a closet."

Qianyu's lips twitched. Yili's social anxiety had become so severe that she needed to carve out a space from the real world to serve as a refuge.

Then, he turned the card face up and a pale purple light emanated from his palm.

The light expanded for a moment, enveloping the three of them like a soap bubble.

Qianyu felt a blur before her eyes, and the sensation under her feet transformed into a hard yet intangible plane.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a vast, empty space, nothing but white.

Yili and Xiaoke floated beside him, seemingly quite comfortable.

"Is this your refuge?"

"Hmm..." Ichiri shrank her neck and looked around, feeling much more relaxed as if she were back in her own room. "There's nothing here, so nothing can bother me."

Chiyu was completely taken aback by how this card was used.

What could have been a powerful trump card to cut through space or even escape higher-dimensional tracking was instead used by her as the ultimate shell for self-isolation.

But now is not the time to complain about this.

Chiba got straight to the point.

"Listen carefully, Yili, what I'm about to ask is very important."

"In the future you came from, is there an entity called 'World Will'?"

Qianyu felt that since the world's will was so arrogant now, he wanted to see if his future self could completely solve this problem.

Pochi looked up, his face full of confusion, clearly puzzled as to why his father had suddenly steered the conversation toward such charlatanry matters.

"The world...will?"

"Yes. The kind of being that controls the rules of the world and transcends everything. You know what I mean?"

Yili's expression turned confused. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke spread her short arms, indicating that she couldn't help.

"Dad, why did you suddenly ask that?"

"Never mind why. Just tell me, in your time, what was the will of the world?"

Qianyu did not choose to reveal everything.

If the world's will at that future point in time is still the same old Biden we met yesterday, then it means that the other party has lived into the future.

Conversely, if the person has changed, or no longer exists at all, it means that your future self may have found a way to eliminate that person.

"Do you remember now?" Qianyu pressed.

Pochi honestly confessed: "Well... there is indeed a world will in the future. I... I even had face-to-face contact with her."

That girl?

Chiba keenly noticed the feminine words in her words.

"Wait a minute." Qianyu interrupted her, looking surprised. "The word you just used... the future world will, is it a woman?"

Boqi nodded repeatedly, seemingly afraid that Qianyu wouldn't believe him, and earnestly confirmed, "Yes, it's a pink-haired girl."

Little Ke, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, suddenly flapped its wings and flew over, answering first:

"Speaking of which, that pink-haired little brat comes to our house every few days to freeload! And she eats quite a lot; every time she comes, she eats two big bowls of rice, and she doesn't even wash the dishes!"

This revelation, so full of everyday life, left Qianyu completely stunned.

They often come to my house for meals.

They ate two large bowls.

This description has absolutely nothing to do with that old monster who was domineering in the palace, who talked about devouring planes and manipulating timelines like turning the pages of a book.

He thought to himself, "Isn't the will of the future world a little too down-to-earth?"

Is this a supreme being who controls the laws of all things, or a useless freeloader who goes to the neighbor's house to freeload?

"and many more."

"Then why didn't she step in to help you solve the problem with the superpower cards?" Qianyu asked. "Didn't you say the future world was already in complete chaos?"

"I begged her..."

Ichiri shrugged and whispered the words from his memory:

"But...but she always says that as the embodiment of the rules, she can't interfere with the normal operation of the world, even if the world is about to explode..."

"So... every time she finished eating, she would dump all the mess of saving the world on me. She'd make me fight monsters all by myself, saying it was a test for me..."

Qianyu chewed over this information.

We cannot interfere with how the world works? Humanity must solve this problem itself?

This is not only completely opposite to the current way of the world's will, but it can even be said that the world's will in the future will truly be like a guardian maintaining balance.

This means that the world's will, which currently holds a dominant position, may very well be completely replaced at some point in the future.

This is still good news for Chiyu.

"Pochi, could you show me what that person looks like?"

"Um?"

"You should have projection abilities. Project her image."

Yili hesitated for a moment, probably not understanding why her father was so concerned about this matter.

But she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she reached out her hand, and a soft light emanated from her palm.

Light gathers, shapes, and colors.

A clear human figure emerged from Yili's palm.

It was a pink-haired girl.

The girl in the video has short, cherry-pink hair and wears an extremely elaborate and gorgeous magic dress that interweaves pure white and pink. Her long hair is tied into two low pigtails, with bright red bows at the ends.
