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

Xiao Ke, who had been languid just moments before, suddenly turned serious.

"So powerful... insanely powerful! This is definitely not an ordinary magical fluctuation! Could it be that one of the highest-ranking Kazama cards has gone out of control?"

It turned its head and looked at the still trembling Pochi-chan, its eyes sharpening.

"Stop shaking! Something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Ke grabbed Boqi Jiang's collar.

Although it couldn't pull it with its strength, it was full of momentum.

"Come with me over there and take a look!"

"Huh? Huh?!"

"Shouldn't this be left to the police or the Self-Defense Forces? I'm just a high school student going to a live performance!"

"Police my ass! Only you can handle that thing!"

Xiao Ke didn't give her a chance to escape at all.

"But...but I'm going to be late for the competition!!"

"What the hell! The world is about to end, and you still care about that competition?!"

Xiao Ke roared and forcibly dragged this savior straight to the crash site.

A dozen minutes later.

The outskirts of Shenshui City.

The once flat wasteland has now been blasted into a huge crater tens of meters in diameter.

The surrounding trees lay fallen in a radial pattern, and wisps of smoke still rose from the scorched earth.

"Wow, it's so big..."

Looking down at the still-smoking pit, Pochi-chan curled up into a ball.

A mini-drama in my mind instantly begins:

[A pitch-black pit bottom... slippery, sticky tentacles... an alien with countless teeth... a facehugger lunging at you...]

"Alas--!!"

Boqi-chan let out a strange cry and frantically shook her head, trying to shake the horror movie images out of her mind.

"This is definitely the set of Alien! There will be one of those monsters that parasitize people's stomachs crawling out! There definitely will be!"

Her imagination had already fast-forwarded to the tragic ending of being parasitized, turning into a monster, and finally being purified by a nuclear bomb.

"Hey you, can you watch less of those B-movies?"

Xiao Ke floated beside her head and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"That magical reaction could be either a Kazama card that slipped through the net, or some kind of magical creature."

"Go, give it a good whack. Don't dawdle, it'll be a problem if that thing gets into the city."

Boqi pointed to her nose.

"Me...me?"

Chapter 79 (Future IF scenario) Did he even call out "Dad" to save his life?

Xiao Ke said confidently

"Otherwise what? I don't even have enough magic to conjure a fireball right now. Who else can I rely on if not you?"

Boqi shook her head, trembling.

"I don't want to go... I'm scared... Waaah!"

Just as the man and the beast were arguing about who should go first.

A dark figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Huh...it's not an alien..."

Boqi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then became nervous again.

"But who...who is that person? They look...somewhat familiar?"

By the moonlight, Pochi-chan could see the person's face clearly.

Black hair, black eyes, indifferent face

That is……

Boqi-chan's pupils trembled.

"Dad...Dad?!"

Boqi-chan called out subconsciously.

Although the other person looked much younger than in the photos I remembered, and a bit disheveled, I, Pochi-chan, would never mistake their features or expression.

"Idiot! Don't believe it! Absolutely do not believe it!"

Xiao Ke, who was standing next to me, suddenly got angry.

It flew to Boqi-chan's front and waved its short, chubby little hands frantically.

"Use your brain and think about it! Your dad is 35 now! And how could that old fox have gotten himself into such a mess? This magical reaction is also wrong... it's too violent, it doesn't seem like something a human should have!"

"This is definitely a trap! It's very likely a deception created by the Kazama Cards, such as simulation, memory, or a combination of real and fake!"

Xiao Ke looked completely confident, her eyes sharp as knives.

"Huh? Is it... is it fake?"

Boqi-chan was stunned, looking at the man stretching at the bottom of the pit, and then at Xiao Ke with a serious expression.

For someone with social anxiety, judging such a complex situation is harder than climbing to the sky.

Xiao Ke made a firm conclusion, and even took the time to cheer on Boqi-chan.

"Have you forgotten? There have been precedents of cards transforming into your father's appearance to lower your guard and then launching a sneak attack!"

"What...what should we do..."

Boqi-chan is about to cry.

She looked at the boy at the bottom of the pit, whose face was exactly the same as the one in the old photograph, and felt afraid.

But I also felt that the face was too deceptive.

I really dare not attack.

Xiao Ke pointed at Qian Yu, her face filled with righteous indignation.

"What else can we do? Just go for it!"

"Just think about it, if we let this imposter use your dad's face to swindle and cheat people, like harassing high school girls or robbing convenience stores...wouldn't your dad's reputation be completely ruined?!"

"As the second daughter of the Kazama family, it is your responsibility to uphold the family's (especially your father's) reputation!"

"Reputation... good reputation..."

These two words seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly striking Boqi-chan's Achilles' heel.

Although she usually prefers to hide in a corner of the closet, she still harbors an almost blind adoration for her father, who is said to have saved the world (though most of it is just hearsay from her mother).

If this counterfeit product ruins Dad's reputation...

No.

Absolutely not!!

To protect the Kazama family's honor! To prevent Dad from dying!

Boqi's eyes changed; although her hands were still trembling, her movements became sharper.

That's a special kind of resolute determination that only erupts when pushed to the brink.

The girl then pulled out three cards from her pocket in one go and activated them all at once with her Star Wand.

The movement was so fast that even Xiao Ke couldn't see it clearly.

Fire! Trees! Wind!

With the release of magic

The bottom of the pit instantly transformed into hell.

Countless thick vines, like giant green pythons, grew and coiled wildly, weaving into a huge cage in the blink of an eye, trapping the boy who had just come out inside.

Then, crimson flames shot into the sky along the vines, and the high temperature, enough to melt steel instantly, transformed the entire pit into a giant incinerator.

Finally, a blue storm swept into the sea of ​​fire, and the already out-of-control fire, amplified by the gale, instantly transformed into a fire tornado that shot straight into the sky.

This combo is fluid and seamless, without any unnecessary movements.

First control the flame, then ignite it, and finally blow air.

This is the legendary "one-stop cremation service".

The figure below didn't even have time to scream before it was instantly engulfed in the devastating sea of ​​fire.

The heatwave even forced Xiao Ke, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, to take several steps back.

It stared in disbelief at the raging inferno below, its jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

"No! I told you to tame it, not to scatter it!"

"That's incredibly ruthless! ...Even a true demon king would be severely injured!"

"Huh?"

Boqi-chan snapped out of her daze and looked at the hellish sea of ​​fire; the inexplicable courage she had felt earlier vanished instantly.

Social anxiety has taken hold again.

She reverted to being that trembling, socially awkward person, shrinking her neck and weakly saying...

"It was...it was you who told me not to show mercy..."
