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

"Come on, let's go to the hospital! I knew those thugs wouldn't hold back! If they beat you into an idiot, I'll become an idiot too!"

"I said I'm fine, so I'm fine!"

To cover up the embarrassment that could have caused her social death, Yukino abruptly changed the subject.

"Well... there's something I need to tell you."

She took the tissue Qianyu handed her, stuffed it haphazardly into her nostrils, and said in a muffled voice.

"About that porcelain lamp, that is, that auction."

"Ok?"

Chiyu paused for a moment while packing the first-aid kit.

“I didn’t know that porcelain lamp was so important to you before. I thought you were just a plant, so I didn’t stop my sister… I’m so sorry, really, I apologize to you on her behalf.”

"what?"

Qianyu was stunned. He looked at the boy who was apologizing earnestly while plugging his nostrils, and couldn't react for a moment to this highly erratic train of thought.

"You mean that? It's okay, just be more careful in your next life."

"I'm serious."

After letting the burning desire in her heart slowly subside, Yukino said:

"That money... I'll find a way to pay you back at three times the price."

Qianyu looked at her with the kind of gaze one would give someone who is mentally challenged.

"Miss Yukinoshita".

Do you think that money can solve all problems?

"I……"

"Alright, shut up. I don't want to talk to you about this."

Qianyu interrupted her spellcasting directly.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Yukino didn't press him further and obediently shut her mouth.

Chapter 55 Ultraman Tiga: Where did these mosquitoes come from?

The following morning, as the cooldown of the substitute card's magic wore off...

Kazama Chiba finally ended this awful experience with the beautiful girl and returned to her original body.

After saying goodbye to him, Yukino left.

The security door slammed shut.

The little doll that had been hiding in the comic book pile and pretending to be dead finally dared to peek out.

"Phew—they're finally gone."

Xiao Ke fluttered its little wings and flew onto Qian Yu's shoulder, looking as if it had just survived a disaster.

"So you still know how to come out?" Qianyu glanced at it, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a black ballpoint pen.

"Why have you been muted these past few days? You're usually quite talkative."

Xiao Ke retorted confidently.

"Isn't it all because you became that woman!"

"Haven't you noticed? When you become that woman, your personality becomes incredibly dark! Your sharp tongue has practically doubled! If I were to speak now, you would definitely make me question my existence. For the sake of my mental and physical health, shutting up is the wise choice."

Qianyu did not respond.

indeed.

Upon careful reflection, he admitted that Xiao Ke's words made some sense.

While inside Yukino's body, my way of thinking was somewhat affected, making me more sensitive and prone to overthinking.

That urge to find fault with everyone and be ready to mock at any moment seems a bit out of control now.

It's like being forcibly de-intelligented by some kind of setting.

"It seems that the side effects of soul swapping are greater than imagined."

Kazama Chiba shook her head, clearing these random thoughts from her mind. Now that her body was back, it was time to get down to business.

He then laid out the Clow Cards he had collected in a row on the table.

Wind, shadow, thunder, sweetness, illusion, mirror, substitute.

There are seven in total.

Given the lessons learned from the past.

Kazama Chiba removed the pen cap and wrote her name on the back of the wind card with utmost care.

As the last stroke was made, the entire card seemed to light up, and the previously vague connection instantly became closer.

It's like connecting a newly bought phone to your home Wi-Fi.

"That way you won't have to worry about being NTR'd by someone else."

Kazama Chiba nodded in satisfaction and, following the same procedure, signed her name on the remaining six cards.

At this moment, Xiao Ke flew over and looked at the cards that had been privatized.

"Hey, Chiyu, I sense a new Clow Card vibe coming from the school. Should we go check it out?"

"Even though it's Saturday and you don't have to go to school, the Clow Cards seem to be showing up at school a lot lately, so you should still go check it out, just in case something goes wrong."

No rush

Chiyu stood up, walked to the center of the living room, looked at the furniture that had been cleaned up by the ninja soldiers, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I have more important things to do now; let's put the Clow Cards aside for now."

"Tch, laziness is laziness, what excuses are you making?"

Xiao Ke muttered a complaint under her breath, but didn't insist any further.

Actually, it didn't want to go out; the outside world was too dangerous for a sealed beast that couldn't transform.

Especially that woman named Kaguya; every time it thinks of that woman's eyes, it feels like the fur on its back is about to stand on end.

Qianyu seemed to have seen through its thoughts and waved her hand.

"Never mind that woman."

"I've been searching for Clow Cards to improve my strength, now it's time for me to do something more productive."

He then took a pre-prepared box from the ninja soldier.

Inside was a toy that looked very plasticky.

The magic light stick.

That was borrowed from the toy store by the shadow ninja that Kazama Chiba asked yesterday.

Although it's just a peripheral model costing a few thousand yen, it's quite well-made.

"What's this? A toy?"

Xiao Ke came closer, looking curious.

Qianyu didn't answer, but simply peeled the rat talisman off its body.

I'm hungry!

The little lion, who was just jumping around, instantly turned into a ball of plush toy and fell onto the table.

Chiyu moved the bulky, broken doll aside and then placed the Spark Lens in the center of the table.

Given the awkward experience of summoning Saber last time

This time he learned his lesson and gave up on directly summoning anime characters with independent personalities. Instead, he sought a weapon that "ordinary people can use, has no side effects, and comes with its own consciousness."

That is, light

Although the Spark Lens is not light, it is a tool that can connect to Ultraman Tiga.

Ultraman Tiga is definitely conscious.

If the Rat Talisman can turn it into the real thing, then theoretically, Chiyu could directly borrow the power from Ultraman Tiga using the Spark Lens.

However, just to be on the safe side...

Qianyu still had the shadow card and the substitute card watching from the side, ready to drag his body and soul away at any time if he went too far.

After taking all these measures.

He then pinched the rat talisman and stuck it onto the handle of the plastic magic wand.

The process then went very smoothly, like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

The moment the stone talisman touched the plastic surface, it seeped into it like a liquid.

Plastic toys that used to cost only a few thousand yen have undergone a qualitative change.

The cheap plastic feel began to fade, the rough seams healed, and the gold paint transformed into something that seemed to be flowing with real metal.

The two transparent wings at the top radiate a warm and sacred glow, like solidified moonlight.

It came to life.

Or rather, it became real.

"Success?"

Qianyu reached out and grasped the glowing light stick, feeling a surge of excitement.

This is the dream of countless people; after all, no one can resist the temptation to become Ultraman Tiga.

Then, without any hesitation, even though the action might seem a bit childish to him now.

But at this moment, Kazama Chiba still raised the Spark Lens high, striking the pose etched into her DNA.

The wings of the magic light stick unfolded.
