My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"Okay." The boy nodded and did as instructed.

Because it hurt a bit when she was hit, and the girl's skin was delicate, her movements were unsteady and awkward. She didn't sit or stand properly, just like a newlywed bride who had just consummated her marriage the night before. If anyone else saw this, they might call the police immediately.

At this point, Li Wei took a second look at the ancient glass mirror in front of him.

It's true what they say, girls change a lot as they grow up. Who would have thought that the older sister who looks like a virtuous wife and loving mother was actually a crazy teenager when she was young? Give her a motorcycle and you'd believe she was a biker gang member.

Especially her figure! If we consider the normal rate of development, wouldn't Liuli have gained 7 cup sizes in five years? Is that the speed at which humans should grow?

"Then, Sister Liuli, why did you become like this?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"Because I need to refine the Child Cutter, otherwise how can I obtain a physical form?" The chuunibyou girl laughed self-deprecatingly, "Did she get carried away just because she was called 'Mom' and played the role of a mother at the engagement ceremony? What a stupid woman."

His words were full of disdain for his adult self.

What's wrong with the people in this world? It seems like one or two of them are in conflict with their future selves, and it's even possible that I might kill myself.

“My condition is unstable right now, and I might revert to that disgusting body shape in the next moment,” she explained. “You don’t need to worry too much; my repulsive appearance won’t disgust you for long.”

"No, I still like her quite a bit. After all, she's Liuli, a girl with a different vibe." Li Wei said this sincerely.

"...You think you can even conquer a monster like me? These young people these days..."

"By the way, Sister Liuli, you seem to dislike your figure after you grew up."

“Of course, that filthy body is simply unfair. It’s clearly meant to be played with by men, it doesn’t have a single samurai feel to it.” She glanced at Li Wei: “Of course, I know you men definitely like that type, it’s really lewd.”

"Sister Liuli, I want to ask you, what do you hope to be like when you grow up?"

"Hmph, of course I am the great patriarch who will lead the Minamoto clan into battle, and I am the only one who reigns supreme under heaven!"

"Hmm, so, Sister Liuli, do you want a child?"

"Offspring will only hinder my progress; I have no need for such things."

"Good."

Li Wei nodded and put his phone away; everything that had just been said had been recorded.

Once Liuli recovers, I'll play it for her; her expression will be quite amusing.

That night.

"Very good, there are no problems with your health."

After examining Liuli, who had regained her physical body but whose mind had regressed to that of a teenage girl, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

She's no different from a living person now, in perfect health. Apart from her swollen buttocks from hitting herself, there's nothing wrong with her. She could even pull out a knife and unleash a powerful attack like the Bull King's Thunder.

The only thing that's wrong is her mental state. I don't know if it's because of a relapse of her teenage angst or a problem with her transformation. She doesn't look like a gentle and virtuous older sister at all now. Instead, she's incredibly immature and childish.

"Then get some rest. We can deal with the other issues slowly." With these words of comfort, Li Wei put away the medical equipment, while the ancient mirror behind him seemed to be muttering something to himself.

"What did you say?"

“I said, don’t call me Gu Jing Liuli, I hate that name,” she replied.

"Then what should I call you?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the chuunibyou girl said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "You can call me Ugly Gozen."

That arrogant yet haughty demeanor reminded Li Wei of a certain charming middle school girl who seemed to have attended his engagement party.

"Ugly" doesn't refer to physical ugliness, but rather to the second position in the twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, because it's associated with the second animal sign in the Chinese zodiac, the ox, as in examples like Gongsun Chou, Wen Chou, and Wei Choufu. "Gozen" generally refers to the wives, daughters, and concubines of Japanese royalty and nobility, such as Suzuka Gozen and Tomoe Gozen.

Judging from the family background of Ruri in the previous dream, she is obviously the daughter of a noble military officer, so calling her Ugly Imperial Lady is perfectly reasonable.

That doesn't matter. I will protect and take care of Liuli, no matter who she is, just like she took care of me before.

……

That night, Li Wei lay in bed for the first time in a long time, experiencing a slight bout of insomnia.

Ancient Mirror Glass has become Ugly Gozen, and the maternal older sister has become a chuunibyou girl. Naturally, she will no longer come to raid him at night. As a result, he has a rare opportunity to sleep soundly alone, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he was often overwhelmed by his older sister's ample bosom when he was little, making him wonder if Ruri did it on purpose to cultivate his fetish for older sisters from a young age, now that he doesn't have that sweet, soft embrace, it really is...

Turning over and over again.

"Um, are you asleep?"

It was at this moment that the voice of Ruri-nee—now she should be called Ushi-Gozen—came from outside the door.

Although it was a question, Li Wei didn't have the habit of locking the door, so when she asked the question, she had already pushed the door open and looked at the boy on the bed.

Why are you asking this when you're already inside?

Of course, he wouldn't actually say it aloud: "I haven't slept yet, I'm having a bit of insomnia."

"Really? I feel a little bit too."

Clutching her blanket and pillow, the chuunibyou girl feigned nonchalance, seemingly indifferent to everything, but her constant peeking at Li Wei's bed clearly indicated what she wanted to do.

So cute.

Even though she's become a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl, her soul is still that of Ruri-nee. Is she suffering from insomnia because she's no longer accompanied by handsome boys? The tsundere Ruri-nee has a unique charm that's simply irresistible.

"Then let's sleep together. We might fall asleep while chatting." Li Wei understood the implied meaning and moved to make room for him.

And so, the bedroom became their sleeping place once again, and the girl once again held the boy's head in her arms, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Can't you fall asleep without a handsome young man body pillow? That's such a hassle, Liuli-jie.

Feeling the ugly woman's figure, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Considering her age, Ugly Gozen's figure is of average quality, and she still has the youthful charm of a budding lotus. However, compared to the previous warm, soft, and milky fragrance that was enough to make one feel breathless in that soft feeling, it is like a frog in a well talking about the sea, or a summer insect talking about ice.

Sister Liuli, you need to get back to normal soon.

And so, amidst a completely different tactile sensation than usual, Li Wei drifted off to sleep, feeling slightly exhausted.

……

Ruri Shrine, during Japan's Sengoku period.

As a region that could stand firm in a chaotic world where armies roamed and demons roamed, and even protect the local people, the powerful shrine maiden Kikyo deserves the most credit.

Fighting countless demons on her own, feigning friendships with various lords, and handling miscellaneous tasks at the shrine—all of these things severely damaged the priestess's physical and mental health, and she even fainted once last year.

The doctor said that if she continues to push herself like this, Kikyo-sama probably won't live more than three years.

Fortunately, the heavens smiled upon her. A few months ago, the witch found a boy who appeared to have been a monk. Although his hairstyle looked strange, his medical skills were exceptional. The witch now has a rosy and radiant complexion, and her skin is much better than before. She handles all kinds of government affairs with ease, truly a helper sent from heaven.

Because they're always seen together, even the beggars outside the shrine know they're a couple. Their casual conversations usually go something like this:

When are Lady Kikyo and Master Li Wei getting married?

"Today, maybe today!"

These are things that everyone knows, but they cannot be said in front of the person involved, otherwise the consequences will be severe.

"Aren't you going to pay attention to the rumors and gossip outside?"

Inside the shrine, having just finished prescribing medicine for an elderly patient who had come for treatment free of charge, and with the patient's profuse thanks, Li Wei turned to look at the red and white shrine maiden beside him.

Ruri Shrine is still Ruri Shrine, except that the shrine maiden's outfit no longer exposes her armpits, and the shrine maiden, as the head of the shrine, is even more chaste.

"Rumors stop with the wise; there's nothing to refute."

The shrine maiden, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit and possessing long, flowing hair that reached her hips, shook her head as she spoke. Her serious, unsmiling expression and earnest demeanor made her appear incredibly solemn, highlighting her extraordinary beauty with a striking and spirited air.

Reimu Hakurei, I thought you were quite the expert, so why did you fall short?

"Oh, I'm relieved then." The boy nodded. "I thought you were going to say you didn't like me."

"Even if it's a joke, please be a little more careful." The black-haired shrine maiden was already used to the boy's words, and her expression remained unchanged.

Two months ago, she would have already drawn her bow and shot an arrow with a magic-piercing blade, but now she doesn't even glance at it.

After all, they were very close, and it was inevitable that some physical contact would occur and that they would see things they shouldn't have seen in order to get medical treatment.

Although neither of them said anything, it seems that these days, she has no choice but to marry this young man.

"So, should I go to your bedroom again tonight?"

"……Come."

Volume 6: Chapter 15 Enma Ai is still alive

After finishing today's consultation session, Li Wei, who now makes a living at the Ruri Shrine, walked out of the room amidst the flattering and respectful gazes of those around him, basking in the sunlight.

Because many people believe he is a monk, he is currently wearing a monk's robe, and with his polite and gentlemanly demeanor, he certainly has the air of an enlightened high monk.

After being embraced by Ushi-Gozen and falling asleep, he woke up to find himself in the Sengoku period of Japan. He was taken home by Kikyo, a red and white shrine maiden who happened to be passing by. Two months have passed, and he has gotten used to life here.

The food is rotten, rice is expensive, the world is in chaos, and there are demons and armies everywhere. At least it's better than a world overrun by zombies in the apocalypse.

With his medical skills and personal abilities, he quickly became a well-known living god within a hundred miles. Demons and monsters passing by would avoid him. Ever since he killed a group of troublemaking samurai with a single cannon shot, no foolish lords have come to collect taxes. Instead, it has become one of the most peaceful places in all of Japan.

As for being mistaken for a monk because of his hairstyle, so be it, it's better than having a monk with a red head.

"So what's the reason for coming here?" Sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, the boy kept thinking.

Although it's not the first or second time that I've suddenly been transported to other timelines, this time there's no detection device, and I haven't even found the main quest yet. It can't be that I'm supposed to be able to romance Kikyo, can it?

Moreover, the progress is at least 75% complete. He no longer resists holding her hand, and even when he goes to her bedroom at night to do acupuncture, he appears quite at ease exposing his back and legs.

This cannot be explained simply by the doctor-patient relationship.

"Brother Li Wei, Brother Li Wei."

Just as the boy was racking his brains without finding a solution, the young girl outside knocked on the door: "Someone down the mountain found a patient with very serious injuries, barely clinging to life. Do you want to take a look?"

This child is named Xiaofeng, and she is Kikyo's younger sister. They have a very good relationship.

In any era, doctors are a precious resource, and highly skilled doctors are even more precious. Doctors who don't charge money are practically benevolent healers. In the eyes of the surrounding people, Li Wei was like a bodhisattva reincarnated—after all, in their eyes, the young man was a monk.

In China, with this reputation, one could at least raise a force and make a name for oneself during times of chaos, and even establish a sect wouldn't be a problem.

This was past the usual time for daily consultations and doctor visits, so the visitor was both extremely respectful and quite embarrassed.

“We’re already here, why would we turn people away?” the young man replied without hesitation. “Anyway, it’s all about human life, taking a look won’t take up much of my time.”

"Ok!"

The lack of modern instruments and medicines has indeed created significant obstacles to the treatment of diseases, but fortunately, it is now rare to see intractable diseases. Life is a hurdle from birth; those with weak constitutions are often eliminated during difficult childbirth. Living to one's thirties is considered good, and forty is considered a long life. In these times, when even eating rice is a struggle, getting diabetes is indeed quite difficult.

So far, apart from a few who were truly terminally ill and beyond saving, a few who were brought in already dead, a few whose wounds were infected and refused to have their limbs amputated, a few who were disobedient and didn't take their medicine properly at home, and a few who were too obedient and took all of their month's worth of medicine as soon as they got home, all the rest who could be saved have been saved.

If you do the math, the cure rate of patients he's treated is about 90%—but there's no way around it, his medical expertise is too low. He tells you not to eat on the day you go home, but you end up eating fish and dying. When you ask him, he just says fish doesn't count as food.

If the legendary doctors at St. Juliana Hospital saw this survival rate, they would shake their heads. But in this era, it's the epitome of a miracle worker—a 90% cure rate! What's the difference between that and a god descending to earth?

Fortunately, because of their excessive trust in Li Wei's medical skills, everyone believed that the remaining 10% who died were simply not tough enough, and even the patients' families thought so.

If a doctor can't cure a patient with a 90% success rate, how dare you blame them? I haven't encountered a single case of medical disputes so far.

However, this patient is the most seriously injured Li Wei has seen since he came here.

His entire body was severely burned, with not a single patch of undamaged skin. His face was burned beyond recognition, and his limbs were stiff and immobile. Apart from breathing and being able to speak, he was no different from a dead person, or rather, he was a person who was about to die.

It's only because the boy has a good reputation that he's taken in; otherwise, anyone else would have been considered a good deed if they just threw him into a mass grave. Perhaps only a true saint like Kikyo would have taken him in and cared for him properly.

“This… the injuries are indeed a bit severe.” Li Wei looked at the man in front of him, who was indistinguishable from a mummy, and then turned to the servant beside him: “Where did you find him? What about his relatives?”

"This guy's name is Onigumo. He used to be a bandit in this area. I don't know how he ended up like this." The people who carried him up were all locals, and they gave a direct answer: "He was probably betrayed by his subordinates. Do you think you can cure him? If not, we can just wrap him in a mat and bury him."

“Robbers,” Li Wei nodded. They deserved to die.

The boy gestured for the servant to leave, closed the door, and prepared to begin treatment. No one seemed to think anything was amiss. There must be a secret formula; it was perfectly normal not to show it.

Returning to Onigumo, Li Wei drew his silver needles and inserted them into his acupoints. The next second, the guy who had been pretending to be unconscious opened his eyes wide, and if he weren't physically unable to continue, he would have jumped out of bed.

"Now that you're awake, stop pretending to be dead. I have something to ask you."

"Please speak." None of the bandits who have survived to this day are fools, and Onigumo wouldn't be stupid enough to throw a tantrum; he appeared incredibly obedient.
