A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

Linn was silent.

Looking at the woman crying her eyes out, his anger did not subside.

He knew that what Toudou Touka said was true; he really hadn't intended to hurt himself.

But the fact is that he inexplicably time-traveled, and at such a crucial moment.

Should he kill Toudou Touka to vent his anger? To be honest, Lynn had thought about it, but since it had already happened, he needed to keep Toudou Touka around for the time being, to provide him with help, errands, and all sorts of conveniences—plus an atonement.

Lynn warned, “Listen, you are my servant now. You must obey me one hundred percent, or I will kill you. You can try to run away or find someone to help you, but before that, I will definitely kill you.”

"I won't run away, I'll listen to whatever you say." Toudou Touka shook his head first, then nodded.

I don't know why, but she seemed reluctant to refute Lynn's words; perhaps she felt guilty.

"Where are we now?" Lynn looked around. The room's furnishings were very modern.

“This… is one of my temporary residences.” Toudou Touka got up from the ground, staggered to the table, and picked up a palm-sized, black cube.

It's a mobile phone.

Toudou Touka suddenly shouted, "The time is different!"

"What do you mean?" Lynn frowned.

“You probably don’t need to worry too much.” Toudou Touka said quickly, as if she had grasped a lifeline. “I stayed in the world of Yulari for almost a month, but since I came back, less than half a day has passed here!”

Lynn's heart skipped a beat.

A month is equivalent to half a day?

Then there's no need to worry, otherwise it would be even more too late?

“That’s for sure. Touching the orb of light and traveling through the original world will slow down the flow of time to an extremely slow pace,” Toudou Touka continued to explain. “In other words, if we stay here for a month, less than a day might have passed in Yulari!”

Lynn's brain raced.

If what she said is true, then there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

He still has time.

"I must find a way back within a month," Lynn said, standing up with an unquestionable tone.

"Go back?" Toudou Touka was stunned. "How do you mean go back? You don't mean you want to?"

Toudou Touka subconsciously reached out to protect himself.

Lynn glanced at him irritably. "If it were useful, wouldn't I have already traveled back in time? Besides, you don't have any light orbs on you anymore."

Lin also sensed that the special aura belonging to a transmigrator on Toudou Touka had completely disappeared.

Now, only two possibilities remain.

Either you can never go back.

Or...

Lynn's mind drifted to his own strange developmental ability.

This number changed from 2 to 1 after he killed Furuta Nimura.

After Furuta Nimura died, he left behind a bright diamond, which was a condensed ball of light.

He touched the sparkling diamond and saw an illusion of the ghoul world.

Toudou Touka and he made the "closest connection," and then the ball of light around her disappeared, while the two of them were teleported here.

All the clues point to one core issue.

That was himself.

Or rather, it's his ability to develop, the "outer side of truth".

A bold hypothesis gradually took shape in his mind.

He, Lynn, is the core of all this.

The ability 【Outer Side of Truth】 is like a signal tower, which randomly or conditionally attracts and pulls people from other worlds to its own world.

Furuta Nimura and Toudou Touka were both "passive parties" who were attracted to the place.

He was the "proactive party".

Therefore, after Furuta Nimura died, the "1" representing him disappeared, and his qualifications materialized into a physical form, which was then acquired by Lynn.

Meanwhile, Toudou Touka, through a deep soul connection with him, the "active party," used her only chance as the "passive party" to send the two back to her mother world.

Her qualifications were thus completely exhausted and disappeared.

This inference both explains everything and leads to an even more despairing reality.

0...Requesting flowers...0

Toudou Touka has completely lost the right to time travel again.

She couldn't help Lynn get back.

And he himself...

Lynn slowly raised her hand and looked at her palm.

He is the one who holds the key.

As long as he retains his abilities, he has the potential to return.

But how do I get back?

Repeat the "ritual" again?

Lynn's face turned extremely ugly.

This means he must find the next traveler drawn to the "Outer Side of Truth".

Even more critically, based on his and Toudou Touka's experience,

Either kill the other person or sleep with them.

...............

No, killing the other person only allows you to travel to their world; you can't return to your own.

Lynn's current original world is a faulty world, which means that Lynn must sleep with the other party to take the initiative in the fusion.

To put it simply, it's about who moves when the connection is established!

The safest way is to be like Toudou Touka and charm the other person.

Damn it, Lynn could only pray that the person who came to her heart had to be a woman, or she was doomed.

Now we have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

You have to find a way to get that person's attention.

"Hey, what's the most famous place in your world? Or rather, how can I make everyone know me the fastest?" Lynn looked at Toudou Touka.

Toudou Toka was taken aback by his question. She thought for a moment and then answered somewhat uncertainly.

"Probably... it's the Seven Star Sword Festival, right? That's the pinnacle for all student knights in our country. The winner gets the title of 'Seven Star Sword King,' and it's broadcast live nationwide."

at the same time,

The other side of the city.

In an abandoned warehouse district, dust dances in the sunlight streaming through broken windows.

Beside a pile of scattered wooden crates, an elf dressed in a white mage's robe and with a head of smooth silver hair slowly opened his eyes.

If Lynn saw it, she would definitely recognize it.

This elf is...

Freylan!!! (Towel)

159. Do you have any clothes here that I can wear?

Frilian sat up, blinked in confusion, and looked around.

There was not the slightest panic or confusion.

She simply stood up calmly and brushed the dust off her robes.

Then, she raised her staff, the magic stone at the tip of the staff glowing slightly, and lightly touched the ground.

"Magic Detection".

An invisible wave emanated from her.

A few seconds later, a look of surprise appeared on Frilian's face.

"The magical element is so scarce?"

She could sense that the laws of this world were completely different from those she was familiar with.

There is almost no free-floating magic "705U.COM" in the air, but the physical laws are unusually stable.

This means that most high-level magic cannot be cast here, but some basic spells that are driven by one's own magic power are still effective.

"That's really interesting."

Far from feeling anxious about not being able to return easily, she developed a strong academic interest in this entirely new world system.

It's like discovering an ancient ruin that no one has ever set foot in before, which may contain entirely new magical knowledge.

She tidied the hair beside her pointed elf ears, and strolled out of the warehouse as if taking a leisurely walk after a meal.

In the outside world, steel behemoths (cars) roar past on black roads, and towering buildings stand side by side.

A curious glint shone in Frilian's eyes.

She raised her staff again, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed it.

Soon, she sensed that in a certain direction of the city, there was an area where the energy response was significantly more active and concentrated than in other places.

Although it was not the magic she was familiar with, it had similar, systematic energy fluctuations.

"Hmm, it feels a bit like a magic society or knightly order's base."

Frilian muttered to herself.

"Let's go check that out first; maybe we can find some interesting magic books."

……

Dongtang Daohua felt sorry for Lin En.

She did not get Lynn's consent.

So she has to help.

Toudou Touka quickly made a phone call to contact them.

Then he said to Lynn,

“I’ve already asked someone for help,” Toudou Touka said, her face still pale, not daring to look Lynn in the eye. “As long as you pass the test, you can become a student of Hagun Academy and qualify to participate in the school’s selection competition.”

"The selection process includes two tests: physical ability and magic power assessment."

"And the inherent spirit armor!!"

Inherent Spirit Armor

It is the innate, soul-armored weapon of the swordsman. It is different for each person and is the most direct manifestation of their own abilities.

In magic tests, it is necessary to summon it as one of the evaluation criteria.

Lynn gave it a try.

He focused his mind, trying to sense the so-called "armor" deep within his soul.

however,

Besides the divine grace within him and the system's rewarding abilities.

He did not have a pre-existing spiritual regalia.

This is understandable, as he is an outsider whose soul is constructed in a way completely different from that of people in this world.

"If you don't have it, you'll be deemed unqualified." Toudou Touka's voice lowered.
