Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

A small hand lifted a gap in the edge of the blanket, revealing long, honey-colored hair and a pair of beautiful, startled eyes.

Karuizawa Kei never expected this.

While Kikyo Kushida was taking a bath, she would sneak in to play with her master, and her former master, Sakayanagi, would come in at that time.

If she saw herself shamelessly begging for a new owner, she might be unhappy, right?

She might be stripped of her pet status, kicked out, and forced back into a terrible environment where she could only be bullied at will... No, she absolutely didn't want that kind of thing to happen. She knew she was just a parasite, a weak creature unable to survive on her own. She had finally found two powerful masters, and she absolutely didn't want to be abandoned.

Adam lowered his head and met Karuizawa Megumi's gaze.

Her bright, watery eyes clearly conveyed a pleading tone.

Rationally, Adam felt he shouldn't bully her at this time... but instinctively he felt that rationality was bullshit!

"continue!"

The master's command was given once again, and the lovely blonde girl could only let out a low moan and continue moving tremblingly.

"Adam, who is with you?"

Ayashi could tell who it was with a single scan of his spiritual power.

But she was so wicked. Just one glance at her and she knew it was the perfect time to bully Karuizawa Kei, so she immediately pretended not to know and asked a question.

"Cough, it's bellflower root."

"Kikyo Kushida is quite good. In comparison, that Kei Karuizawa is much dumber and has nothing to offer except her looks."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and said, "So I was thinking, should I kick her out?"

Naturally, Karuizawa Kei was shocked and gritted her teeth.

"hiss!!"

Adam tilted his head back sharply, slumped there, unable to utter a word.

))))

Please, please! (^ω^)

Chapter Nineteen: Thick Fingers, Pointy Head

She was very cute from a young age.

However, after entering junior high school, her cuteness did not bring her good luck. Instead, she suffered from school bullying for three years. Not long ago, she suffered the most severe bullying, and her left abdomen was slashed with a knife, which almost endangered her life.

After being adopted by Arisu Sakayanagi, when asked if she wanted to remove the unsightly scar on her left abdomen, she mustered the courage to refuse, because she needed that scar to constantly remind herself of one thing:

Karuizawa Kei is a useless person who can only survive by relying on strong people!

Of course, this is just her own account, and the author, as the author of the upper-level narrative, needs to make a more objective evaluation.

To evaluate whether a person was useful during their student years, we can generally judge based on their academic ability.

So, how good is Megumi Karuizawa's academic ability?

Let's tentatively say her IQ is at the level of "being able to mistake cos90 for CS:GO". Anyway, there's no main storyline in the tutorial, so it doesn't matter.

"Hui is indeed quite useless, but she has one good point, which is that she is obedient and well-behaved enough."

Upon hearing that Sakayanagi Arisu intended to kick Karuizawa Megumi out, Adam defended her.

His hand, slipped under the covers, lovingly stroked her honey-colored hair, a shade between gold and brown. His fingers silently traced her lovely features on the girl's face, first her eyebrows, then her delicate nose, and finally her soft lips.

Hearing his defense, the girl felt a warmth in her heart, tears streaming down her face as she gratefully wanted to kiss his fingertips.

But Adam had already pulled his hand away.

It seems the only option left is to kiss the tip of another large finger.

"That's true..."

How could Sakayanagi Arisu easily give up the opportunity to play a trick on someone?

She sat lightly on the edge of the bed, seemingly deep in thought, before continuing after a moment: "I think that beneath Karuizawa Megumi's seemingly useless and incompetent exterior lies a rough gem that is very worth polishing, and she might just be a genius."

Huh?

Huh?

The girl in the blanket was both surprised and delighted.

She never expected that her arrogant former master, who looked down on the whole world, would actually think of himself as a genius worth nurturing.

Thinking of this, Megumi couldn't help but chuckle with a touch of smugness, but Sakayanagi Arisu's next words plunged her into despair.

"So I plan to send her to my father's elite high school, to hone her skills in that merit-based school, to fight against those flawed individuals and pseudo-geniuses like her. If she survives in the end, I'll find her something worthwhile to do..."

Fighting?

Struggle?

What if I survive?

No, what kind of school is your dad's? Will you be killed if you fail an exam?

No!

Dear former master, I'm not a genius! I don't want to do anything important. I just want to be a carefree parasite, serving my master and living a life of ease!

Hui was stunned; her hands and mouth had both stopped moving.

"Who told you to stop? Keep moving!"

"Woo..."

It wasn't until Adam poked her face that the girl regained her senses, her eyes brimming with tears as if she dared not face her future destiny.

"Given Hui's weak and cowardly nature, it's best not to get involved."

"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, you're right. I'm really worried that if something happens to that fragile and helpless pet, I'll be heartbroken for a long time."

These words are meant to amuse the little pet.

In fact, the list of students to be admitted to Advanced Educational High School next year has already undergone tremendous changes. The plot of the practical education school was completely destroyed before it even began. It is no longer the stage of destiny, so there is naturally no need to send Hui there.

Arisu is scary.

Karuizawa was indeed startled, her emotions fluctuating like a rollercoaster, her throat tightening and loosening in turn.

Finally hearing that her master had managed to calm down her former master who had gone mad, the girl felt even more grateful and worked even harder. The silly girl naturally didn't know what it meant to play the good cop or the bad cop; she only knew that her master's scent made her feel very safe.

After a moment of silence outside the blanket, she listened carefully and heard the sound of the two owners kissing.

The hand that was originally pressed against the back of his head should now be intertwined with the fingers of his former owner, right?

The two owners have such a good relationship; I really don't know how they met.

A little gossip was stirring in Karuizawa Kei's heart—suddenly, Sakayanagi Arisu's hand pressed down hard on her head through the blanket!

"Kikyo Kushida, how dare you slack off?"

"...Eat!"

Hui rolled her eyes, speechless, and dared not argue that she was not Kikyo. She continued to bury herself in her work.

……

The world of sorcery, 4 PM.

After finishing her chores, Kagura Tsuchimiya left the school.

Standing at the school gate, the girl looked blankly at the bustling street, unsure of where to go.

After her mother's death, Kagura's father was mostly away exorcising spirits and rarely came home. As a result, Kagura stayed at the Isayama family's residence for a long time, where she was taken care of by her older sister, Yomi.

She was a child who was carefully protected, always immersed in her simple little world, because there was always someone to shelter her from the wind and rain.

But the person who sheltered her from the storm left, burdened with the enormous crime of being wanted by both the sorcery world and the government, and disappeared from her world cleanly and decisively, without giving her any chance to stay.

Kagura Tsuchimiya could no longer live at the Isayama residence, nor did she wish to return to the desolate Tsuchimiya residence so soon.

She wandered aimlessly through the streets and instinctively came to the familiar park.

She occasionally feeds the cats in this park, so every time she comes in, she is surrounded by cats asking for cat treats.

"Cheer up, Kagura!"

Kagura patted her cheeks, trying to cheer herself up.

Kagura, literally meaning "music of the gods," originates from a ritualistic song and dance in Shinto. However, with the changing times, the name has gradually acquired a unique connotation: not only is the artist highly skilled, but the source of joy for those around them.

That's right, I'm Sister Huangquan's source of joy!

No matter what, I must greet Sister Huangquan with a smile next time I see her!

"what?"

As soon as she entered the park, the girl was surprised to see that the kittens that used to surround her were now surrounding a somewhat familiar black-haired boy. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was none other than Huang Quan's boyfriend, Jun.

Adam is feeding the cat.

However, unlike the gentle male protagonists in shoujo manga who are peaceful and serene while feeding cats and whose art style is beautiful, he is different.

He was cursing and swearing as he fed him.

"A stray cat should act like a stray cat!"

"Meow?"

"Go, learn how to hunt and how to steal Customer Service S's packed meals. Those of you with good looks, go find an honest guy and beg for adoption by acting cute and seductive!"

"Meow!!"

"Bullshit! Always pinning your next meal on other people's kindness, you unlucky bunch will starve to death sooner or later... Don't pull down my pants!"

Seeing him being poked and prodded by the cats, Kagura inexplicably wanted to laugh, but after laughing, she mustered up her courage.

The somewhat frail-looking girl walked up to Adam and, in a very anime-like manner, began: "Ano..."

Upon hearing this, Adam hurriedly touched the top of his head.

It can't be pointy!

))))

This should have been included in the introduction, but there's a character limit, so I can only mention it here:

The protagonist is neither a kind and gentle person nor a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside tsundere. Instead, he belongs to the traditional category of morally questionable individuals who believe in the ultimate selfish creed of "nothing but me." He has no psychological burden regarding controlling others' minds and bodies and manipulating their destinies. Because there will be plots in the future that reset the world line and turn certain popular anime into erotic dramas, I am informing readers in advance for fear of hurting those with overly high moral standards.

Chapter Twenty: Kagura Tsuchimiya's Inner Thoughts

Adam came here specifically to see Kagura, having been asked by his other self to give the girl a course of talk therapy.

Of course, you can't state your purpose directly; you have to pretend it's a chance encounter.

Adam possesses all of Yomi's memories. It can be said that Adam understands Tsuchimiya Kagura as well as Yomi Isayama does. Adam and Yomi share a similar level of affection and understanding for this "sister" with whom they have no blood relation.

Therefore, he knew very well that the child was just a little soft-hearted and timid, but not stupid. Going directly to her door to talk to her would not only not get the desired result, but would also make the child suspicious of his motives.

Seeing Kagura's unease, Adam clapped his hands to scare away the freeloading stray cats and patted the bench next to him.

"Please sit down. I forgot to introduce myself last time. My name is Adam."

"Um, Adam-nii, hello, I'm Kagura Tsuchimiya."

The girl was very polite, but still a little nervous as she sat down next to Adam, stammering for a long time before finally speaking.

Can I ask you a question?

"Kagura."

"In the!"

It was like being called on by the teacher for daydreaming in class; Kagura's petite body tensed up instantly.

"You are the young master of the Tsuchimiya family, the undisputed 28th head of the Tsuchimiya family. You must act and speak with the proper bearing. Be bold in your actions and words, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. What kind of behavior is this, hesitating like this?"

I was scolded by this older brother I'd only met once!
