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

what is it?

Xiao Ke scratched his head, completely baffled.

As the two were each lost in their own thoughts, neither of them noticed the contents of the backpack.

The glow stick, which had turned back into plastic, suddenly flickered without warning shortly after Qianyu made her act of kindness.

……

The wind was still blowing at the street corner.

Once Chiyu's figure had completely disappeared at the end of the street, Koji Kazue, who had been left behind, finally seemed to let down her guard.

Until it was confirmed that the person was really gone and would never come back.

She hastily wiped away her tears, folded the crumpled banknotes neatly, and put them into her inner pocket.

Then Kazue Koji turned around, facing the empty space except for lampposts and trash cans, and softly called out:

"elder sister."

As those two words fell.

Suddenly, a strange ripple appeared in the previously empty air.

next second.

A figure slowly emerged behind her.

It was a young girl.

She looked young, perhaps only sixteen or seventeen, but she was very beautiful.

"Have they left...?"

Looking in the direction Qianyu had left, the girl's shoulders, which had been tense from the beginning, relaxed slightly, and she let out a long sigh.

Upon seeing the girl appear, Kazue showed no surprise. Instead, she revealed the sweet smile that belonged only to family and rushed over to hug the girl's leg.

"That older brother is a good person. Although he looks fierce and speaks harshly, he gave me a lot of money... so we won't go hungry anymore."

"Sister, why were you hiding just now? Big brother is such a good person! You don't need to be afraid!"

"……Um."

The girl looked away, lowered her head, and gently placed her hand on the girl's messy hair.

"I'm not afraid, it's just that I can't see him right now because my promise with Kazue hasn't been fulfilled yet, has it?"

The girl's voice is very beautiful.

Unlike humans, which are full of impurities, it has a kind of ethereal tone, like a wind chime being blown by the wind.

"Ok!"

When the promise was mentioned, Kazue looked up and smiled through her tears.

"My sister and I made a promise that she would take care of me in place of Mom and Dad until they came back to find me!"

That's right.

A faint smile bloomed on the girl's face.

"I told you I would stay with you until your parents come to pick you up."

Ichie was delighted to hear this and excitedly grabbed her skirt.

"Then please continue teaching me to sing, sister! As long as I sing even better, when Mom and Dad hear me, they'll surely come out from behind that corner just like you did, sister!"

"it is good."

The girl smiled and nodded.

But the moment she looked back at the street, a deep, overwhelming sadness flashed in her eyes.

Chapter 59 Moving the Tablets

Tomoeda Ward.

As one of the areas with the highest concentration of anime in Shenshui City, it is permeated with an inescapable anime atmosphere even on ordinary days.

The shop windows on both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of exquisite figurines, and most of the pedestrians are young people carrying ita bags and dressed in fashion.

There seemed to be a barrier floating in the air, a barrier that said "Stay away from the crowd."

As soon as Kazama Chiba stepped into this area known as the "anime Jerusalem" of Kamisui City, she was choked by the intense concentration of fumes.

Not to mention that today is Saturday, and the grand comic convention "Kurakawa Comic Exhibition" is being held right now.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

Xiao Ke poked half her head out, her beady eyes wide open, and stared at a burly man dressed as a magical girl passing by, letting out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Is that a magical girl? But her staff looks like it's made of plastic, it doesn't have any magic at all. Wow, that guy over there with the greatsword, is that sword made of foam board?"

"Although the concentration of magic is low in this era, humanity's passion for fantasy is even more fervent than it was tens of thousands of years ago!"

Qianyu frowned, sidestepped a heavily armored cosplayer posing, and instinctively protected the side pocket of her backpack.

"Excuse me! Hey you with the greatsword, put away that foam dragon-slaying sword of yours, it's poking my waist!"

The scene was absolutely packed with people. Finding a small sign, no bigger than a book, in such a dense crowd, comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush, was like finding a needle in a haystack.

The only saving grace is that in this environment filled with bizarre costumes, people with chainsaws on their heads, and people carrying coffins on their backs, a high school student with a yellow doll perched on his shoulder stands out as perfectly harmonious.

There was even a little girl passing by who pointed at Xiao Ke and exclaimed, "What a realistic toy!" before being quickly pulled away by her parents.

"No, Qianyu."

Xiao Ke rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered.

Its sound was drowned out by the surrounding loudspeaker roar, and only Chiyu could hear it.

"Looking with your eyes is probably hopeless. Even if you stare your eyes out, you still can't find that card in this pile of red and green plastic pieces."

"Since you were chosen by Clow Reed, even if you're only a half-baked one, shouldn't you at least learn some basic magic skills?"

"Basic skills?"

Qianyu turned aside, avoiding a berserker carrying a greatsword, and asked in an annoyed tone.

"Do you mean jumping around like a monkey, or spinning around like a magical girl to change clothes?"

"It's perception! Magic perception! You idiot!"

Xiao Ke rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"My radar can only pinpoint the approximate location of the sign. There are too many people here, and the magical energy is mixed together, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location. So, Chiyu, you should also try using your own magic to look."

"You must have quite a bit of magic power in your body now, right? Since magic power flows in your body, it's part of you. Just like your hands, your feet, and your breath."

It stretched out its short front paws and waved them in front of Chiyu's eyes.

"Close your eyes, don't think about what kind of superpower this is. Just think of it as the glasses you have to wear because you're nearsighted. Feel the wavelengths around you that don't belong to 'humans.' It's as simple as breathing; you can do it if you want to..."

"Stop."

"You want me to learn a skill right here and now?"

Chiyu interrupted its teaching. He knew that Sakura in the original work also knew this move, but he couldn't compare to Sakura.

"I don't have that kind of setting where love alone can generate electricity."

"It's not learned, it's instinct! Do you understand instinct? It's like how a person breathes."

Xiao Ke patted his shoulder with a look of exasperation.

"As a Cardcaptor Sakura, as you collect more cards, the magic power of those cards will naturally increase and circulate within your body. Sensing magic power is as natural as breathing; you just need to not consciously think about it and simply follow the feeling."

"Like breathing?"

Qianyu stopped in her tracks, her expression becoming somewhat subtle.

"Since you brought up breathing, I have to say this: you know what? When humans become aware that they are 'breathing automatically,' that automatic mechanism fails and is forced to switch to manual mode. Even if you want to stop, your brain will keep asking you: How should I inhale next? Through my nose or mouth? Is the rate too fast?"

"..."

Xiao Ke was taken aback by this fallacy and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but suddenly found herself being drawn in as well.

It opened its mouth, trying to inhale, but suddenly remembered that it was a rag doll and didn't have lungs.

"I don't need to breathe! You almost got me confused! You idiot, Chiyu!"

Xiao Ke angrily punched Qian Yu on the shoulder.

"Stop thinking about anything else! Just do it! Close your eyes, direct the heat in your body to your eyes, and imagine you are looking at an infrared thermal image!"

Qianyu put away her joking thoughts.

Fortunately, although Xiao Ke is a chatterbox, he is quite reliable when it comes to serious matters.

Under its guidance that magic should be injected into the retina and the mental barrier relaxed at this moment, Qianyu finally got the hang of it.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shut out the surrounding noise of music and crowds.

Consciousness sank into the body.

A warm current was slowly flowing through her blood vessels. Qianyu tried to guide this power, making it converge towards her eyes like a trickle.

At this moment, my eyelids began to feel hot.

It wasn't the scorching heat of being roasted by fire, but a cool, stinging sensation.

"Open your eyes!" Xiao Ke shouted in a low voice.

Qianyu suddenly opened her eyes.

The world has changed.

The once vibrant and visually polluting anime convention street has disappeared.

Instead, a strange vision is formed by blocks of color in varying shades.

The crowded masses turned into blurry, gray-white outlines, which were the life magnetic fields of ordinary people.

The buildings along the roadside turned into dark gray lines.
