"Why aren't you talking about Misaki anymore?" Misaki Shokuhou seemed a little disappointed.

"I am not Dolly after all," Chiyo sighed. "So, I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

"Hahaha~" Misaki Shokuhou laughed like a silver bell and said, "What did you say?"

"Whether you are Dolly from the past or Chiyo from now, you will always be my most important friend."

Misaki Shokuhou said very seriously, "Whether in the past or now, you have always been."

“But…” Misaki Shokuhou suddenly became serious and said, “If you don’t consider yourself Dolly, and you don’t consider yourself my friend, then please take good care of my friend’s body.”

“If you do this again, I will never forgive you.”

Misaki Shokuhou took out her remote control and said threateningly, "You should know my abilities."

"Even if you have Pokémon that can fight me, you can't have them around all the time."

"If you don't take good care of Dolly's body, I will erase your consciousness."

Is this a threat?

Chiyo couldn't detect any threat in his tone.

Perhaps this is what a queen bee is like: a friend who truly cares about and protects her, yet is not entirely honest.

A haughty girl from who-knows-when.

Chapter 76 Preparing to Enter the Realm of Fantasy

"Ugh! I'm so angry! I should have drawn super ugly eyebrows on her head too."

In Chiyo's hospital room, a woman with long, straight black hair wearing a hat was complaining indignantly.

Although she is awake now, she is still weak, and the Netherworld Soul Chaser has asked Chiyo to rest for the time being.

Moreover, to Chiyo's surprise, the spirit of the underworld actually advised her not to enter the dream world for the time being if possible.

Yes.

Although the Soul Chaser of the Underworld did not know what Chiyo's dreams were all about, through long-term monitoring and research, he discovered that Chiyo seemed to be able to actively control whether she entered a dream, and could also control the level of dream-creating activity to a certain extent.

But that's enough.

Chiyo trusted the doctor's skills and decided not to enter the dream world for the time being.

He is also temporarily unable to attend school due to physical weakness.

On the other side, after learning about this, the main characters, Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko, also made a promise to come and see Chiyo. Since the two of them also longed to visit Tokiwadai, they agreed to visit Tokiwadai first and then come to Chiyo.

Then...

That's all. Just like in the story, Saten Ruiko was attacked.

In addition, during the time Chiyo was unconscious, that girl also attacked several other girls from Tokiwadai.

Well, except for Mitsuko after marriage.

It's likely that Qian took the calamity for her, and she became someone whose fate was altered and who was no longer part of the original story.

But apart from Chiyo, no one else knew.

Of course, the disciplinary committee members also conducted an investigation, just like in the story, even though Chiyo had already investigated this girl before.

The girl learned a lesson from this and deliberately took sick leave during the next round of physical examinations, so her current ability level was not recorded in the library.

As Chiyo had predicted, the disciplinary committee members didn't deviate from the plot, and even seemed more incompetent.

Despite being similar cases, the investigation was reopened because the earliest suspect in the library did not improve his abilities, so there was no suspicion at all.

The result, naturally, was that they ended up with nothing.

Just before Saten Ruiko fainted, she saw the main culprit's face through the bathroom mirror, and Kuroko immediately pulled up the girl's photo.

Once confirmed, the arrest plan was launched.

Everything was exactly as described in the story.

“I have to say,” said Haruharu while eating cake, “Chiyo-senpai is almost as good as Detective Conan. Even the robbery case was pretty much what Chiyo-senpai predicted.”

"Hmm?" Chiyo leaned against the headboard and asked doubtfully, "That case has been solved too?"

“Yes.” Kuroko nodded and said, “And they were indeed a bit troublesome. Just as Big Sister predicted, it was all the fault of the Illusionist. After they were arrested, those few people tried to deny it. But after hearing that they had been arrested, more students who hadn’t reported the case before came to report it. Subsequently, the security team searched the residences of those students.”

"Although not all of them were found, we did find the wallets, cell phones, and bank cards of several students."

"There are both witnesses and physical evidence, and they have admitted it."

Chiyo nodded. The case was basically in its final stages, and it was a bit of a pity that she hadn't participated in the final phase. The plan to use those guys as practice subjects had also fallen through.

Sigh, they're really pushing themselves too hard in their training.

It's not true that everyone is like that road.

"What about the capture process?" Chiyo asked doubtfully. "Don't tell me they surrendered without resistance."

"Of course not." Hei Zi said, biting her spoon. "They're not very capable, and with my older sister's help, it's easy to catch them. Actually, they dare to do this because that bald guy's ability is hypnosis. Although it's not enough to make someone forget everything, it can hypnotize them quickly and silently, making the victim hand over their valuables and go home on their own."

"Moreover, they took advantage of the fact that the transaction was illegal, thinking that the students would not report the case, and even if they did, they would not be able to find the scene, and the students did not have any external injuries, so they could not find anything during the examination."

As he spoke, Hei Zi exclaimed sincerely, "But they never expected that there would be someone as amazing as Big Sister."

The result was that they were all caught.

“Hmm…” Chiyo said, taking a small bite of her cake. “Speaking of which, haven’t you guys noticed? From bombings and robberies to the eyebrow case, almost every case is inseparable from this ‘Imagine Master’.”

"Ah~" Mikoto also remembered and said, "It seems that's true. I heard Kuroko say that the strongest of the robbers was originally only LV2. But after using the Imagine Breaker, everyone who didn't have an ability gained one, and those who did became stronger."

"It feels really incredible."

“Indeed.” Kuroko said with disbelief, “What do you think, Big Sister? Although I asked them what the Realm of the Imaginary Hand is, they said it’s just an audio clip in an MP3 player.”

"But it's just an audio clip, how could it possibly have such power?"

Although we asked them why their abilities differed from what was stated in the materials, they seemed to answer truthfully.

But the haters simply didn't believe that a single audio clip could have such power.

If that were really possible, wouldn't having ability be too easy?

"What do you think?" Chiyo asked, glancing at Saten out of the corner of her eye. Saten seemed to have completely lost her earlier energy and appeared to be lost in some kind of peculiar emotion.

I can't quite put my finger on whether it's sadness, happiness, helplessness, or anticipation; it's probably a little bit of everything, which makes my whole demeanor complicated.

"Kuroko..." Kuroko, who was asked the question, was completely unable to answer. She could only think for a moment before answering seriously: "They may not have told the truth, but since the people have been taken away by the security team, we can't ask them anymore. I think it must be something else, but the person who really controls the Phantasm Guardian should have anticipated the current situation and said it in advance. If they are caught, they should say that the Phantasm Guardian is an audio device."

"In short, I personally think this possibility is more likely."

"Oh?" Chiyo asked with some interest, "Why?"

Although she knew that Kuroko's guess was wrong, she must have thought that way based on some reality.

This shows that she began to seriously analyze the clues, combine them with the clues to analyze the problem, and boldly make assumptions.

This is a good thing, even if the analysis is incorrect.

"Hmm..." Kuroko thought for a while and said, "Let's spend it. Kuroko and his colleagues asked them about the whereabouts of the stolen goods and money after the robbery. Some could explain it clearly, some couldn't, and there were more that couldn't be explained. When they tried to investigate further, the police stopped them."

"So I think the security forces stopping us might be related to this issue."

"So~" Chiyo probably understood the logic behind Kuroko's reasoning and said, "You think the Disciplinary Committee members are all students, and most of them aren't very capable. Most of them are at LV3, and many more are at LV2."

"Because of this characteristic, in order to prevent users of the Fantasy Guardian from appearing among the Disciplinary Committee members, or from secretly spreading and reselling it, the Security Force cuts off the source from the easiest channel of acquisition."

“Yes.” Kuroko nodded and said, “Kuroko doesn’t assume the worst about his colleagues, and he’s willing to believe that everyone who can join the Disciplinary Committee is a good person.”

"But in the face of huge profits and temptations, human nature is always vulnerable."

Chiyo nodded and said, "What you said is indeed correct, but Kuroko, have you considered the flaw in your reasoning?"

"A vulnerability?" the hater asked.

“Yeah, right~” Chiyo took another bite of cake, organized her thoughts a little, and said, “First of all, these people are all determined and can grit their teeth and persevere in the face of all kinds of questioning. Secondly, especially delinquents like them, you don’t think their high consumption is just a bunch of brothers getting together to play video games, drink beer, mess around with a few motorcycles or a car, and stick all sorts of fancy things on them to become biker gangs, do you?”

In reality, the reason why these individuals were interrupted and taken away for investigation for large sums of money that they could not disclose was most likely related to prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

Yes, this might also involve firearms and the like.

In any case, investigating these matters has exceeded the authority of the disciplinary committee members.

After all, the Disciplinary Committee members are a group of respectable people in Academy City. Even if they are incompetent, they still have a clean background. Although they are similar to grassroots staff, they are still students in essence.

However, behind things like prostitution, gambling, drugs, and firearms, there will inevitably be a host of violent crimes and criminal gangs.

This is when the security forces need to step in.

After all, disciplinary committee members can only rely on their own abilities, while the security forces have a wide variety of weapons to choose from.

Although these guys are unreliable in the anime, they are always being suppressed in various ways.

"And will these people collude?" Chiyo asked. "Even if they want to keep this secret, the premise of keeping it is that it is in their own interest. They have already used it. If they commit a crime, even if it is a minor case and they are only detained for a few days, they will still be a key person under surveillance for a period of time, let alone if the case is serious."

"It's obvious they won't be in contact with the Imagine Breaker for some time, so what reason would they have to keep this secret?"

"Ah... this..." Kuroko scratched his head, wanting to say something but feeling he had nothing to say.

It's not that it's flawless, but it's hard to find any points to refute it for the time being.

After thinking about it carefully, Hei Zi said uncertainly, "Could it really be an audio recording?"

"This..." Chiyo couldn't say it directly.

Even if you know, you can't just grab someone to experiment on, right?

"Why not just find the genuine product?" Chiyo said. "There must be middlemen involved, right?"

Instead of doubting it's fake, why not find out the truth?

Chapter 77 Kamijou Touma

After a short three-day rest, Chiyo finally recovered from the exhaustion and the feeling of not getting enough sleep every day.

Although I had considered whether to enter the dream world.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I gave up.

This is yet another instance of coming so close to death, following his own self-destructive behavior in the Pokémon world which garnered attention.

She should strive to survive, not overexert herself and kill herself.

The doctor told her not to enter the dream state for the time being, and she obediently did so.

but...

But Chiyo came up with another idea.

"bad..."

Chiyo looked at the group of heads in red, yellow, blue, and green that seemed to be a rainbow, and the people dressed in ways that, while not exactly eccentric, were still very individualistic in order to show off their personality, and she was extremely excited.

The opportunity for real-world application has finally arrived!

If she remembered correctly, this period coincided with the phase in which the usage rate of the Fantasy Knight was steadily increasing.

Therefore, the problems of today are different from the problems of the future.

The future may involve the emergence of some strange and unusual things, but that would mean that something is about to happen.

While those who appear unruly may not necessarily be able to produce anything extraordinary, those who have used the Imagine Breaker and are still able to move without falling into a coma generally possess abilities or have their abilities greatly enhanced.

Therefore, the current bad elements may be in a period where their overall abilities are very strong, and during this period, these people are very motivated to challenge those they did not dare to challenge before.

For example, a person with special abilities or a disciplinary committee member.

Therefore, Chiyo felt that now might be a rare good opportunity, a stage where she could test the results of her intense training in the previous period.

Similarly, current bad players are also good practice targets.

Although she was wearing a school uniform, she deliberately held her phone and pretended to talk loudly about things, and the things she talked about were mostly related to money, often involving hundreds of thousands of dollars, which she did not seem to care about at all.

An ordinary person would definitely be considered a fool.

But Chiyo is wearing Tokiwadai's school uniform!

Tokiwadai, a private school for aristocratic girls.
