Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

「Kazu! What’s wrong!?」

While I was waiting at the entrance of the gymnasium, Yui came running with Futaba in tow.

Yui is still dressed in her Yuri Miller style uniform.

She was getting a lot of attention from people walking down the hallway.

「I don’t know. However, something might happen.」

As I stepped into the gymnasium, I explained to Yui and Futaba about the images I saw with my headache.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was the same one I had seen earlier.

The location was probably correct.

-0-

There were only five minutes left until the start of the talk show.

The room was filled with many visitors and some were even standing.

The three of us lined up standing.

-0-

So far, nothing’s out of the ordinary.

I don’t feel any sign of barriers or variants.

-0-

Soon after, the radio personality appeared on stage.

The doors of the gymnasium were closed by the staff.

He stood in the center of the stage and began his talk show.

His lighthearted talk, which the audience was accustomed to hearing on the radio, excited the audience.

He doesn’t seem to be a variant.

Unless he’s very good at hiding it, I would have noticed it when we spoke up earlier.

-0-

If there is a variant, it should be someone from the audience which is difficult to spot.

If it is poor at concealment, I would have detected it with magic detection but otherwise, it would be difficult without direct eye contact.

-0-

I continuously slowly prove the gymnasium with magic.

While I was doing that, the talk show went on.

Soon, a woman jumped on the stage from the audience.

She was around 20 years old, wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and a cap with her long hair hanging down from the back.

「Oya? Surprise?」

The bewildered personality signals with his eyes.

At that moment—

A barrier silently unfolded to cover the gymnasium.

What a smooth unfolding!

At the same time, a broken tipped spoon was thrust into the eyes of the personality on stage.

「Gyaaaaaaa! What are you doing!」

The personality struggled and tried to push the woman away but it looks like he can’t.

「What’s happening? Is it part of the show?」

「Uwaa…..gross…..who does that kind of thing….?」

The audience begins to murmur.

「What’s with this woman! Someone! Help!」

「Eh? It’s real?」

「No way……」

Even if you pay attention to the “variant” after you know it’s a variant, it is difficult to judge it as one given how good she is at concealment.

「Terrible….! Gungnir acti—-」

「Wait a minute, Yui. Futaba, your divine domain.」

After stopping Yui, who was about to activate her divine object, I instructed Futaba first.

Futaba nodded and promptly began preparing the deployment of her divine domain.

-0-

At the same time, I shot a magic bullet toward the variant.

The bullet, which could kill a dark Valkyrie in an instant, “disappeared” before hitting the variant.

It was neither blocked nor nullified.

It was as if its very existence had been drowned out……

I knew that this barrier was something quite special.

-0-

At the same time, I distorted light using magic so that she couldn’t see us.

As for why, it’s to prevent the variant from seeing the divine domain.

「Why are you already here!?」

The variant shouted.

“Already” is it?

I guess it’s safe to assume that I was right in my assumption.

-0-

Perhaps this is a time traveler variant.

From her reaction, this was probably only the second loop.

I had noticed her ability from the previous loop and copied the clock in the gymnasium and attached the magic power to this time traveling variant.

-0-

Which means the variant’s next move is to…..

Here it comes! Time-space oscillation!

This one has a rare ability!

-0-

I pulled Yui and Futaba by the shoulders.

「O-oniichan!」

「Focus on the divine domain!」

「Yeah!」

Just before the variant time travels, the divine domain that encompasses the three of us was deployed just in time.

The area went completely dark and a rumbling sound and vibration shook the domain.

The world seems to be screaming from the collision of abilities that are outside the realm of causality.

-0-

Please……if this doesn’t work, it will be very difficult to defeat that variant.

As the vibrations intensified, the warmth disappeared from my hand holding their shoulders.
