My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"How could I not be angry? But being angry is completely useless."

As if resigned to her fate, Ryougi sighed: "Although he has many shortcomings, he is a complete pushover, loves to meddle in other people's business, and blows around like a central air conditioner. Once a girl pesters him, he can't do anything about it, but I just like that guy, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Furthermore, I don't think these girls can compare to me."

"Oh?" Arcueid's eyes lit up with interest.

"Compared to those superficial, ambiguous, and saccharine romances, my relationship with him is completely different. It's not just between a man and a woman, but also a love like that of family."

As Liangyi spoke these words, she showed absolutely no embarrassment, as if she were speaking of some universal truth, appearing poised and confident.

Despite Arcueid being the stronger kidnapper, she inexplicably fell behind in terms of aura, completely overwhelmed by Ryougi's presence.

"Don't you understand? But it's understandable. Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't succeeded yet. If you really did something to me, even if Avi is very easygoing, he won't let you off the hook." Ryougi replied with absolute confidence: "I can confidently say that there is no one in this world whom he loves more than me."

"You guy!"

Having been repeatedly outmaneuvered, the foolish vampire, feeling inexplicably defeated, lunged forward and grabbed Ryougi by the neck.

Then--

"Why did you stop?" Ryougi's face showed no fear, but she looked at her pitifully: "You finally got precious love and wanted to possess it all by yourself, but you didn't dare to do so. I just feel sorry for you."

"Alright, Ryougi, don't bully Arcueid."

Just as Arcueid looked like she was about to cry after being bullied, Akeno-senpai followed the scent and led Levi to the crime scene.

After realizing something was wrong, the senior student decisively ran away, showing no intention of staying.

"It's your girlfriend who's being kidnapped right now, you womanizer!" Ryougi broke free from Arcueid's grip on her throat and looked at the boy not far away: "If you had come any later, I might have been killed."

“I had no intention of doing that,” the stupid vampire protested. “I just wanted to bring you and all the human females you’re connected with to the City of a Thousand Years.”

He forgot one thing. Huang Quan had told him before that the stronger a person was and the closer they were to the source of the pollution, the greater the impact and the longer the aftereffects would last.

Arcueid was undoubtedly the one most severely affected.

"I'm going back to Thousand-Year City." The foolish vampire stared intently at the boy before him and awkwardly extended an invitation: "Would you like to come with me?"

"Sorry……"

"No, there's no need to apologize. In fact, this is fine."

The princess under the bright moon kept looking at Li Wei, as if she wanted to imprint him completely in her memory and never let him go.

……

It was around four or five in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, in Li Wei's bedroom.

The boy lay on the bed once again, silently staring at the ceiling. Only this time, compared to a few hours earlier, there were two more people beside him.

The long-haired Ryougi, and the long-haired Arcueid.

"Didn't you just say you were going back to Thousand Year City?"

Li Wei was even more tired than before he went to sleep, and he couldn't even move a finger.

"Yes, but it didn't say we couldn't come back."

Arcueid drew back the curtains, letting in the cool moonlight: "I'll look for you anytime I want to, okay?"

Tomorrow will surely be a good day.

End of Volume Summary

After stumbling, struggling, and many hardships, this volume has finally come to an end.

Initially, I wasn't sure about the boundaries of Hedgehog Cat's writing style, so several chapters were censored and had to be revised before they were acceptable for publication. Because I was too presumptuous, controversial plot points nearly destroyed the entire volume's outline; the story collapsed like a runaway dog, impossible to rein in. I was overwhelmed and anxious, but the die was cast, and no amount of effort could salvage the situation. The protagonist's character development in the latter half of this volume is weak and unconvincing; the dialogue sounds like the ramblings of a mental patient. He's just an empty shell, a walking corpse. His acts of helping others are more like the blessings of a powerful figure; he completely lacks the self-discipline, propriety, and benevolence expected of a master's prized disciple. Ultimately, I had to hastily end this volume.

Many plot points in the original setting, such as Arcueid in her Crimson Moon form battling the Root to seize Levi, and Levi's first encounter with the "Beast of Love and Desire" after contacting Sesshouin's golden body, were all cut. The Yukinoshita family's storyline was also cut into pieces, resulting in a fragmented plot.

In the end, I didn't even dare to look at what I had written. As a typical example of failure, he failed too successfully.

Without a doubt, this is the tuition I had to pay after putting down my pen and returning to Hedgehog Cat. Because the protagonist of the first volume was a child, many problems did not appear. After he grew up, the problems that I had not realized before exploded like Claymore landmines, and I happened to be facing the enemy.

But in any case, this volume has come to an end.

I will reflect on myself again and try to recapture the image of the upright Livy in this new volume. If you are still willing to read this book, then let's start over; I will continue writing until I completely lose the motivation.

Respectfully presented by Tusikong.

P.S.: That's all for tonight!

Chapter 1 Traveling to another world is becoming increasingly popular these days.

May.

As the weather becomes warmer and more comfortable, people's clothes and skirts become increasingly light and airy, many students suffer from "May sickness" and feel listless, and cats outside the window make mating calls. It's that time of year again when everything comes back to life.

At Li Wei's house, Saeko Busujima, wearing only an apron, was cooking a loving breakfast. Her clothes, soaked with sweat from yesterday, were still being washed in the washing machine. Her complexion was rosy and her skin smooth, as if she had undergone some kind of skincare treatment.

Because she was participating in the national tournament, she was not affected by the mass psychedelic incident that had occurred in Tokyo.

Indeed, Roya's actions of drawing on the earth's spiritual veins to incite desire and create turmoil were forcibly explained using an excuse that even Satania didn't believe. This was comparable to the explanation of the Holy Grail War using a gas explosion, making them equally brilliant.

If this were shown on a Chinese TV program called "Approaching [Bip] Studies," it would take at least a week of continuous broadcasting to give an answer.

However, Saeko did not find this enjoyable.

As the third seed this year, her performance was still unsatisfactory. Not only did she fail to avenge her defeat by meeting Sayo Senai, who eliminated her last year, she also suffered another upset loss in the quarterfinals to Hirai En, an unknown player from Misaki High School.

At the same time, with her sensitive female instincts, she realized that she seemed to have missed something very exciting during this period, and that strange long golden hair could be found in her home.

If Li Wei hadn't suddenly gotten carried away and taken home that female school doctor who had all her points on her chest and who always used her lewd body to get close to the boy during each examination—a girl who seemed very strange at first glance—he would have been different.

Then there's only one possibility—another thief has sneaked in.

It doesn't matter, though. The women of the Busujima family are good at tolerating men, so as long as you deal with it calmly, it'll be fine.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Li Wei, who hadn't slept all night, showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he seemed even more energetic.

At this moment, he was holding the patient's test report sent by St. Juliana Hospital, analyzing the patient's condition, and occasionally writing and drawing to analyze the condition.

Case 1

Patient's name: Hiraga Saito.

Attending Physician: Mingtu Zhuihun.

Injury report: He was hit by a soccer ball on his way to Akihabara to get his computer repaired. He was in a coma for a week and then woke up in a daze, imagining that he had been summoned to another world.

Patient's account: Listen to me, I really went to another world, and I wasn't the only one there. There was an older person there before me, and his granddaughter is about my age now. No, no, no, this isn't a case of delusional thinking. Louise is still waiting for me. The war has begun, and I have to go back to protect her!

Diagnosis: Late stage of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), physical condition is intact, suspected memory disorder, it is recommended to send it to Li Wei.

Case 2

Patient's name: Kazuma Sato.

Attending Physician: Kaneko Kuro

Injury report: While visiting Amagi Radiant Park with his family, he fell headfirst into a wishing well. He was unconscious for three days before waking up and fantasizing that he had been transported to another world.

Patient's self-report: I'm back!? Thank goodness I'm back! I don't have to wipe Aqua's butt and feed the frogs anymore, and I don't have to sleep in the livestock shed, right?! Doctor, thank you so much! I'll never forget your kindness! I'll kowtow to you right now!

Diagnosis: Suspected head injury from hitting the wishing well caused false memories and numerous unfounded fantasies. It is recommended to send this to Li Wei.

Case 3

Patient name: Subaru Natsuki.

Attending Physician: Yingchu.

Injury report: He suddenly fainted while shopping at a convenience store. He was taken to the hospital but no abnormalities were found. He woke up on his own after lying in bed for seven days.

The patient's account: Please, please, find a way to send me back. I'm really the only one in the whole world who still remembers Rem… What do you mean you can't do it?! Didn't you bring me back?… Mom, you're saying I was only unconscious for a week? My body hasn't moved at all? Mom, I can't tell, I can't tell!!!

Diagnosis: The patient experiences extreme mood swings, with extreme highs and lows, suggesting a possible psychological problem. It is recommended to send the diagnosis to Li Wei.

Case 4

Patient's name: Yosuke Shima.

Attending Physician: Eimu Hosho.

Injury report: He fell into a coma after being hit by a large truck, but woke up naturally 17 years later.

Patient's self-report: 17 years... I'm finally back... Suddenly I feel a little nostalgic for Succubus, Lucifer, Zegal, Luneel, Lureya, Agran, Zegal, Elgar, and the others. By the way, in these seventeen years, Sega must have created even more excellent games, and must have defeated Nintendo to become the gaming industry's hegemon... Why are you all looking at me like that?

(After browsing Sega News for a while): I want to go back to another world!

Diagnosis: Playing Sega games. I suggest sending it to Levi. Also, Nintendo is the true ruler of the world! But the person who invented game key cards should go to hell!

……

There were many more cases, involving men, women, young and old, from all walks of life. Their only commonality was that they had all inexplicably fallen into comas for various reasons, for varying lengths of time, from a few days to more than ten years. When they woke up, they all said they had gone to another world, and most of them wanted to go back.

These strange and unusual stories have attracted considerable social attention and caused a lot of unrest. Some people, who seem to thrive on chaos, have even gone straight for the trucks.

Li Wei didn't know if he had successfully gone to the other world, but the hospital and crematorium had been making a lot of money lately.

"There's no such thing as time travel in this world." The boy shook his head, put the medical record aside for the time being, ate breakfast first, and would look at it later.

The table was covered with his favorite dishes, and Saeko, like a newlywed wife, watched him eat with a smile, occasionally putting food on his plate.

"Speaking of which, Saeko, have you heard anything about time travel lately?"

The two were chatting casually when the TV was broadcasting news about the recent increase in chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers, the booming car insurance industry, and experts advising people not to physically challenge fully insured semi-trailers, otherwise they might become chuunibyou themselves instead of going to the world of anime and manga.

"I've heard that the students in the class are talking about it too," Saeko said calmly. "After all, we're all high school students, so it's normal to have all sorts of fantasies."

"Does Saeko want to time travel?"

"Why would I want to time travel?" The purple-haired, big-chested killer looked at the boy strangely. "What's so good about time travel? You're not there."

Simple, impulsive, and straightforward, Saeko Busujima hit the bullseye, and Levi was struck.

Saeko is so cute!

Bathed in the sunlight behind him, the adorable girl, resembling a Yamato Nadeshiko, struck directly at Li Wei's strike zone, almost making him forget Saeko's frenzied, almost manic behavior.

"But if Avi were to travel through time, what would he want to do?" Saeko Busujima asked rhetorically.

"Is it just about helping others and maintaining world peace based on one's instincts?" Li Wei wasn't entirely sure.

"As expected of Avi, he can say such classic male protagonist-like words without batting an eye, yet it makes it impossible to refute them."

Saeko Busujima smiled gently.

Chapter 2 King Arthur was exceptionally handsome, but Queen Guinevere was a true hero.

Li Wei is a second-year student at Hakuou Academy's high school division.

After a hearty breakfast, the students naturally continued their lessons, listening attentively and answering questions.

For some reason, the older female teachers at the school seemed to be greatly influenced by Luo Ya, and it appeared that some astonishing battle broke out, to the point that the entire teachers' apartment building was razed to the ground, and many teachers were seriously injured and hospitalized. No one knows what they went through.

When Li Wei arrived at the scene afterward, he saw Hiratsuka standing straight like a war goddess, almost shouting, "My life is without regrets."

So these older, marriage-hungry female teachers are usually very united, aren't they? Now they're fighting so fiercely, is the ultimate reward the winner finding a boyfriend?

Li Wei didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

As the victor, Hiratsuka Shizuka suffered the most severe injury and is currently recovering at St. Juliana Hospital. The surgery was performed by Li Wei, and she will be unable to attend classes for the time being.

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a class cannot be without a homeroom teacher. It is said that after a fierce and secretive struggle, the teacher who is now teaching on the podium has the last laugh.

"In short, after a great battle in Camlann, King Arthur, though he managed to defeat his bastard son Mordred, was also seriously injured and soon passed away. The British kingdom he had established also collapsed and vanished."

In the classroom, a pink-haired history teacher named Kirisu Mafuyu is lecturing meticulously, displaying the demeanor of a perfect teacher in every gesture.

Because of that chaotic battle, Hiratsuka temporarily took over as the homeroom teacher until she was discharged from the hospital.

As Shizuka Hiratsuka's high school and college classmate, Li Wei knew her quite early. Although their relationship wasn't very deep, based on her daily behavior, she seemed to be a neat, clean, hardworking, and meticulous type, which was in stark contrast to Shizuka who didn't do any housework and was probably going to die in an ashtray or a pile of empty bottles without Li Wei.

At least the boy had never seen her drink alcohol.

As the lesson progressed, the pink-haired acting homeroom teacher's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Now please turn to the next page in your textbooks." As she said this, she pointed to the illustrations in the textbook and repeatedly emphasized, "King Arthur was a robust adult man. Don't believe any of those ridiculous urban legends that you think he was some beautiful girl. Remember, King Arthur could not have been a girl!"

As if to emphasize something, the illustration of King Arthur in textbooks is much larger than the figures of other people. He is a tall and handsome man in heavy armor, with a heavy sword at his waist, and a typical prince on a white horse.

It is said that this is a group of Knights of the Round Table sculptures found by an archaeological team when they were excavating the ruins of the Kingdom of Arthur. Because he best fits the criteria, he was identified by experts as King Arthur.
