"I told you, I don't have time."
"And since you want to buy things, then go queue up yourself, or take a taxi home."
"Also, since it was Aki Tomoya who stood you up, then go and make a scene with him, or go and complain to your die-hard 'Kashiwagi Eri' fans on Twitter. Don't bother me."
"Wait! What are you saying? And how dare you interrupt me? Hey! Kazama! Listen to me clearly—"
"beep--"
Kazama Chiba hung up without even listening.
Less than five seconds later, the phone vibrated again, still displaying the same blonde girl's profile picture.
Kazama Chiba didn't even glance at the message before adding the other person to her blacklist.
Who cares.
Those filters about youth, passion, and love have long since shattered into nothingness.
Sixteen years ago, Kazama Chiba was transported to the world of this slice-of-life anime and became a helpless orphan.
Having lived two lives, he knew that in Japan, a society where class barriers were even harder than the Wall of Sighs, the difficulty of getting ahead through normal means was practically hellish.
That's why I'm trying to curry favor with the rich girls in slice-of-life anime so I can easily get some gold coins later.
The reason I indulged Eriri before was because Kazama Chiba had a good relationship with Eriri's mother, Sawamura Sayuri.
Because he has high emotional intelligence and good looks, but his family background is a bit lacking.
However, Sayuri Sawamura is not the traditional kind of mother who doesn't care about lineage. So she is very supportive of Kazama Chiba and her daughter, and even gave him some money to take good care of her daughter.
As a result, Eriri seems to have used him as a free punching bag.
That's wishful thinking.
If you don't have money, who's going to pamper you?
I wonder if this is a common problem among these female leads.
Yukino Yukinoshita is the same.
Even though she was ostracized by other children when she was little, only Kazama Chiba was willing to be her friend.
As a result, just because of a few provocative words from that woman Yang Nai, and a casual remark that their family backgrounds were not a good match, she drew a clear line without hesitation.
Eriri Sawamura is similar to Yukino.
It was clearly Kazama Chiba who had been there for her from beginning to end, resolving all her worries.
But if Aki Tomoya just waved his hand, even if it was just for a lousy game club that offered nothing but empty promises, she would turn around and run off to be a free artist for that otaku without hesitation.
This is the underlying logic of romance anime.
No matter how much or how perfect the second male lead is, it's all in vain compared to the "suddenly appearing" and "useless male lead".
Because they have friendships and bonds.
Kazama Chiba shook her head.
Since that's the case, then I won't play along with you anymore.
Anyway, Sayuri Sawamura didn't pay to renew her subscription.
……
Meanwhile, in the open-air plaza of the Akihabara UDX building.
Eriri Sawamura, holding two movie tickets, still had her phone pressed to her ear.
Just now, before she could finish saying what she had carefully prepared, the man who never said no to her hung up the phone.
The receiver emitted a busy tone, "beep-beep-".
Eriri blinked her bright blue eyes, held her phone up to her face, and scratched her head.
"???"
The call time displayed on the screen was frozen at "01:24".
This is not due to a poor signal or a dropped call, nor is it because the phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically.
It is absolutely true that the other party hung up on their own initiative.
"Qianyu, how dare you hang up on me?"
Eriri pressed the redial button again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
"No, are you kidding me!"
"No time? How could you not have time! I've made time for everything, and you still don't have time?! You idiot, Chiyu!"
Eriri's face turned red, but the next second she couldn't help but take it out to check if it was muted.
"good very good!"
"When you come back begging me, no matter what, I will absolutely, absolutely never forgive you!"
Chapter 4 Clow Cards
Ignoring Eriri's phone call, Kazama Chiba focused intently on playing with the rat talisman in her hand.
Until he saw this thing disguised as an antique ceramic lamp on the auction website, he naively thought that he had just transmigrated into a mundane anime world without any supernatural powers.
Who would have thought that a high-martial arts setting like "Jackie Chan Adventures" would be mixed in?
That makes things much easier.
Before the talismans were introduced, you said this was a slice-of-life anime, and I didn't argue with you.
But now that I have the talisman, what kind of anime is this?
Kazama Chiba closed her eyes and began to deeply review the design of the Rat Talisman in her mind:
"Transforming stillness into movement"
To give life to inanimate objects.
Simply put, it can make the figurine you buy your waifu come true.
If an otaku got their hands on this, their first reaction would probably be to revive some beautiful girl figure like Rem or Asuna, and do something like "My waifu has come back to life."
Based on the original work, the Rat Talisman, when not possessing a living animal, is likely to work in a single thread, meaning it can only revive one object at a time.
Since the opportunity cost is so high, we absolutely cannot waste it on cute anime characters.
More importantly, in this treacherous world of fusion, what can a figure wife who has no fighting ability other than calling out "Onii-chan" and warming the bed do?
Kazama Chiba also ruled out the seemingly clever but conventional web novel trope of resurrecting a powerful figure to become an apprentice.
There is no other reason
The risk is too great.
In the original "Jackie Chan Adventures", the feathered serpent god, Saint Lope, and other beings resurrected by the Rat Talisman not only possess independent and powerful self-awareness, but are also completely beyond the control of the talisman holder.
If a peerless expert were resurrected, and the first thing they did upon opening their eyes wasn't to bow down in worship, but instead to slap you, an ant, to death, steal the talisman, and regain your freedom, that would be truly humorous.
Kazama Chiba only believes in the power she holds in her own hands and will never allow an uncontrollable force that could turn against or betray her at any time to exist by her side.
Furthermore, there's another issue: the power of a character resurrected by the Rat Talisman will not exceed that of Shendu himself.
Let's skip characters like Icarus or the Military Princess; even if they were resurrected, they wouldn't reach their original strength. And once the power of the Divine Dragon drops to the level of the Holy Lord, it probably won't be able to fulfill Chiyu's wish.
Therefore, he prefers to use talismans to activate a weapon or tool that is absolutely obedient.
But this raises a new question.
So, can the Rat Charm give functions to "inanimate objects"?
Kazama Chiba wasn't sure either, and this was his first time using the Rat Talisman.
However, Lope, who was resurrected in the original storyline, was able to use his original amulet.
This shows that the Rat Talisman can not only give life to inanimate objects, but also materialize the abilities that are set in the objects.
Since the statue can use magic, then theoretically, a toy gun that is resurrected can also fire real bullets.
As long as the logic is sound, this path to materializing weapons is feasible.
But activating the weapon is no trivial matter.
Kazama Chiba must choose a weapon that is not only powerful but also obedient, since the concept of a divine weapon choosing its master is not uncommon in the world of anime.
His gaze then turned to the messy pile of merchandise he had just bought.
If one had to find a vessel for the Rat Talisman, it would have to be a divine artifact with extremely high cost-effectiveness, capable of exerting terrifying effects even without the user's own power.
Furthermore, the weapon must be completely free of side effects and usable by ordinary people.
For example, the Void Treasury requires Honkai energy, and the Sharingan requires chakra.
There are also weapons like Imperial Arms and Crimson Dragon Blade that drain half of the host's life as soon as they are activated.
Death in the later stages is practically guaranteed.
With so many good things to choose from, Kazama Chiba wasn't in a hurry and planned to take her time selecting.
He then pulled a blue, gun-shaped plastic object out of the bag.
Kamen Rider Decade, Diend Driver.
In the Kamen Rider universe, this thing is an invaluable artifact.
Simply pull the trigger to summon a knight to fight for you, and most importantly, it has no prerequisites such as bloodline certification or belt fitting surgery. You can even pick it up from a roadside grunt and use it.
For Kazama Chiba, who urgently needs to replenish her combat strength, this is practically a godsend from the starting village.
"Even though it's just a 2,000 yen bootleg, as long as the concept is right, it should be fine, right?"
Kazama Chiba affixed the rat talisman to the drive's read slot.
one second.
two seconds.
