How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

There wasn't much to say, so I could only follow her inside and see what kind of fortune the six-month-old's mother would draw.

"It seems like a pretty normal world?"

Stepping through the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the modern-style architecture.

At first glance, it seems quite normal.

So there might be clues about "Ye Qing" here, right?

"It should be, but we don't know which one has the clue."

The mother of the six-month-old replied in this way.

But this explanation...

Xilin also spread her spiritual sense out, and then she was stunned.

Her feedback revealed a ton of system signals!

"Is Ye Qing using the same old tricks again, Mom?"

Xilin still remembered when the six-month-old mother killed the "Ye Qing" host, it was in a world that also gathered a large number of transmigrators with systems.

Lure other system colleagues over, then kill them, and pollute the world's consciousness by frantically feeding the system core.

Yes, they look alike, very alike.

"Speaking of which, because you deliberately didn't kill his host, Ye Qing failed to achieve transcendence and even damaged some of his foundation. So now he's using the same trick to repair his foundation?"

Miss Fox shook her head. "That's not a repeat of the same old trick."

He pointed to the school not far away.

At first glance, the words "Private Hikari-zaka High School" came into Sirin's view.

Sirin: ?

"Oh, I forgot, you're not a time traveler, Bug!"

Am I hallucinating from working overtime?: Sorry, although I'm also a time traveler, I can't see anything wrong with this school.

I will always love Tina: +1

Mourning: / Tea

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Over Maoyu: Hmm, I seem to remember this?

Silver Hair is the Best: Hikari-zaka Private High School?

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Familiar, feels very familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Everyone here is my wife: ...Those who know this are probably old folks, so I'd better not say it.

Green-haired Sanae: @Newbie who just wants to fill the numbers, stop keeping me in suspense and just give me the answer.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: The answer is the old-fashioned crossover anime template world before the infinite flow craze.

Seventeen-year-old girl: Hmm?

Sirin Kaslana: A hodgepodge of various anime and manga?

Newbie here to fill the gaps: Pretty much. Hikarizaka is next to Fuyuki, there's a cat cafe in Tokyo, and a Academy City. There's a Soul Society, I also discovered Gensokyo, a ninja world, a Grand Line world, a Fairy Tail parallel world—basically, a world of all sorts of messy, old things stitched together.

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping Jade: I know, you old folks...

Seventeen-year-old girl: So, it was you who just gave me a thorough physical examination?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Huh?

Miss Fox blinked.

She did indeed offend Yakumo Yukari of this world with her spiritual sense just now...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: What a coincidence!

Bright red baby cat: What?! Stupid fox, what a coincidence that you've come here?!

Moon Bug: So, the Stupid Fox is currently outside?

Everyone here is my wife: Goodness, after all this time, we still ended up in Gensokyo!

Celine Kaslana: But Mom, you still haven't explained why there are so many transmigrators with systems.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Hmm, I don't think I can explain this either, hehe~

A world of old-fashioned eclecticism is something only old-fashioned people would enjoy.

After all, they are all outdated things.

Therefore, most of the transmigrators who gathered here should be old fogies. And old fogies shouldn't have so many system hosts, right? System novels hadn't even become popular back then...

Qi Pu Gui Yue: Isn't that simple? The old man doesn't have a system.

Nanagi-tsuki: So what anime is this Hikari-zaka? Is it about fighting?

The Passing of Time: Anime Adaptation of a Healing Game / Tea

Everyone here is my wife: a healing type, yeah, that's true.

Ordinary high school student: Academy City, is it the one on my side?

Newbie just filling in the blanks: No, it's Academy City before the New Testament, only in the form of the Old Testament. The same applies to Fuyuki next door; it's Fuyuki only covered in the Fifth Holy Grail War and some magician factions, and is not within the scope of Type-Moon.

Simply put, these works are stitched together from the state they were in before they expanded their worldviews.

It's a mess, a chaotic mess of what used to be a crossover anime world.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I've already found Prince of Tennis!

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumps on Hairy Jade: Good heavens, even the Prince of Tennis has been sewn in. How can these hot-blooded battle anime like Soul Society and Ninja World beat us?

Chapter 1493 Too Retro

The private Hikari-zaka High School is open to the public today, seemingly holding a school festival.

Miss Fox then took Sirin inside for a look.

Then, well, after walking a few steps, I saw a time traveler with Saber buying snacks, and not far away, someone was flirting with Misaka Mikoto. I randomly picked a shop and there it was, where the classic scene of Fujibayashi Kyou throwing a dictionary at someone was playing out.

I even saw him on a date with Saeko Busujima.

People are a bit numb; everything feels like a repetition of the same old thing.

Just by walking a few steps inside, you can find all three major elements of the doujinshi (fan fiction) area.

I also saw quite a few transmigrators with faces full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"So, is this world just a place for old people to retire?"

I ordered a bowl of fried noodles and quietly watched the school festival at Hikari-zaka High School.

The transmigrators in this world are all rather well-behaved, or rather, silly.

There are also quite a few cross-dressers among them.

It has a strong old-school fan fiction feel to it, since back then a lot of people really liked crossdressing protagonists.

"Isn't this a bit too retro?"

Miss Fox thought that if they looked carefully, they might be able to find Tachibana Kanade.

The atmosphere of the whole world gave her a rather retro feeling.

Especially those time travelers who were pranked and punched by their male friends, while their female friends always had a smiling face no matter how outrageous the pranks were, made people shudder.

—Even before the "feminist" movement emerged, Miss Fox had always disliked this kind of plot!

But ironically, old-school fan fiction often featured this kind of plot.

Does this seem to highlight the characteristics of the characters from the original work?

Like the scene in the shop where the time traveler who is friends with Fujibayashi Kyou gets hit by Fujibayashi Kyou's dictionary because of a small misunderstanding. No matter how she explains, he won't listen, and the time traveler just dodges without fighting back. It feels like I've seen this scene countless times.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have tolerated this woman anymore..."

Taking a bite of fried noodles to suppress her goosebumps, Xilin felt a bit annoyed just looking at it.

These time travelers all seem like dogs.

"Is it true that early character designs all favored this kind of unreasonable behavior, Mom?"

Miss Fox thought for a moment and nodded.

Although it was often said before the transmigration that many characters were proud but not arrogant, this led to a decline in the reputation of arrogant characters.

But if anyone looks back at the classic tsundere female characters, they'll find that before they became tsundere, they were far more outrageous than those who were just arrogant but not tsundere.

For example, in Toradora!, would you like me to break into your house with a weapon and stab you? (Image)

Rather than saying that being arrogant without being coquettish caused the reputation of the tsundere type to decline, it's more accurate to say that audiences have run out of patience to tolerate the tsundere type's outrageous behavior in the early stages, which is why the reputation of the tsundere type has declined.

"I don't think that's called patience, it's more like having an overly good temper to tolerate such outrageous behavior," Xilin complained.

"No, part of it is because the tsundere character becomes so endearing later on that it's easy to forget her previous outrageous behavior." Miss Fox shook her head. "Besides, not all classic tsundere characters were overpowered in the beginning, like Asuka and Rin Tohsaka..."

Are you two discussing tsundere characters?

The time traveler in the front seat listened for a long time, but finally couldn't help turning around to strike up a conversation.

That's it! The look in his eyes when he turned his head—a clear, unobsessed gaze of appreciation—that's it!

The world is going to be retro, but the time traveler's character design doesn't have to be so retro!

Miss Fox has begun to suspect that this is not just a matter of the world being retro; there must be some other problem that makes time travelers so retro as well.

"What brilliant ideas do you have?" Miss Fox thought that she didn't have a clear goal right now, so she struck up a conversation with this time traveler.

“Speaking of tsundere characters, I’m not very talented, but I do have some knowledge of them.” The transmigrator’s eyes lit up, and he quickly flipped his chair closer.

He was also holding a piece of bread and a jar of jam in his hand.

Miss Fox: ......

These two things...could they be those two?

"Are you also interested in Sanae bread and Akiko jam? Want to try some? I can share some with you!"

It really is those two things!

When Miss Fox learned that this was a retro hodgepodge world, she knew that she would eventually see those three foods known as god-slaying dishes. She never expected that the transmigrator she casually struck up a conversation with would be so brave as to combine two of the dishes to eat.

"Give me some."

And coincidentally, she was quite brave and genuinely wanted to try what this god-slaying dish tasted like.

The time traveler was equally excited, spreading jam on the bread with a reverent attitude, then breaking it in half and handing it to Miss Fox.

"This bread and jam look so nice, and there aren't any bad parts. I don't believe it can taste that bad!"

The time traveler expressed his own views.

indeed.

The bread looked like normal bread, with no obvious signs of being made badly inside or out, and the taste was normal as well. The jam was the same; I couldn't imagine how bad it could be.

Miss Fox took a bite of the jam-covered part without hesitation—and her face immediately scrunched up!

unpalatable!

It tastes awful!

The moment it entered her mouth, Miss Fox couldn't understand why the bread, which smelled normal, tasted bitter like grains, and the jam had an abnormal sour and rotten fruit smell. The combination of the two was like a bomb exploding on her taste buds!

"This is simply a waste of food!"

One bite was all I could eat.

Miss Fox gave up trying, and then heard a "thud!" The time traveler who had tried with her had already knocked his head off the table and passed out, his eyes rolling back in his head.

I was a little startled.

Although it tastes terrible, it shouldn't be this bad, right?
