I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 81 The Dragon Clan in 2009

Seeing Bulma and Uchiha Hikaru's responses, "Little Monster" seemed a little nervous.

[Little Monster: Sorry, did I remember wrong?]

Anonymous: No, I remember it very accurately.

At least Bulma is right that she has a friend named Son Goku, and the Dragon Ball world does indeed have Shenron and a group of Z Fighters, and this Shenron can even grant wishes...

[Anonymous: By the way, I still don't know your name?]

[Little Monster: Erii. My name is Erii.]

"really……"

Erii Uesugi is one of the main heroines in the world of *Dragon Raja*, and a secret weapon raised from childhood by the Snake-Headed Eight Family. Because her dragon blood is extremely pure and prone to going out of control, she was raised in captivity from a young age and has never had contact with anyone outside her family. Therefore, she lacks basic life skills, and her understanding of the outside world comes almost entirely from the anime and games she watches.

but……

How could she possibly connect seemingly unrelated things like the Zanscal Empire, the Kingdom of Brittany, and the Twelve Palaces of the Golden Horde? What kind of worldview did she have in mind?

the other side.

After hesitating for a moment, Erii cautiously tagged Kikyo again.

[Little Monster @The Isolated Shrine Maiden: Um... are you called Kikyo? I think I've heard that name before. Did you know a girl from the future who pinned you to a tree with an arrow, and was later rescued by a white-haired puppy boy?]

[The reclusive priestess: ?!]

Compared to her impression of "Dragon Ball", Erii's memory of "Inuyasha" was surprisingly accurate, except that she reversed the relationships between the three main characters, Kikyo, Inuyasha, and Kagome.

In the world of Inuyasha, Kikyo cautiously asked:

[The reclusive priestess: May I ask, where did you learn this information?]

Erii: I've seen you on TV...

[Iron-headed kid: Television? What's that?]

Seeing the conversation getting increasingly chaotic, Uchiha Hikaru sighed and reluctantly stepped in.

[The reclusive shrine maiden: ...So, we're all actually characters in an anime? And the world Erii-san lives in is the place where these works were created?]

[Anonymous: No, you can also understand it this way—the world we live in is real, but it is projected into Erii's world in some form, received by some perceptive people, and they use this as inspiration to create those works.]

[Nameless: Also, not all worlds have projections; for example, Tanjiro and Miko's world doesn't.]

Of course, this last point is mainly a matter of time.

A crucial timeline in *Dragon Raja* is 2012, marked by the apocalypse brought about by the awakening of the Black King. Erii's death occurred around 2011. Tanjiro and Yotsuya Miko are anime characters who appear many years after her death, so she couldn't possibly know about it.

[Anonymous: Ms. Erii, may I ask your age?]

Erii: ...I don't remember.

"Forehead……"

I can't remember how old I am, but that's okay.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru was pondering how to determine the timeline of the Dragon Clan world, Erii sent another new message—

[Little Monster @ Isolated Priestess: I think I found your work, is it called "Inuyasha"?]

[The reclusive priestess: ...The dog demon I know does indeed have that name.]

Next, Erii started watching anime while sharing the episodes she saw in the group chat.

Bulma decisively expressed her disgust at Er Gouzi's behavior.

[Bulma: Ugh, you started something and then abandoned it, two-timing him, what a scumbag!]

[Yotsuya Miko: [Raises hand.jpg] Um, I don't quite understand... Shouldn't Kikyo and Kagome be the same person? Why can they exist at the same time?]

[Eternal Sister: Perhaps the resurrection technique used by that person called Oni-chan Rito involves soul splitting. Our world and Hikari-san's world have similar ninjutsu, but very few people know it… Moreover, that resurrection method is somewhat similar to the Second Hokage's "Impure World Reincarnation," so there might be some common ground in principle. If there's an opportunity, Hikari-san could try to research it.]

[Anonymous: Hmm.]

[Anonymous@LittleMonster: Is there more?]

[Little Monster: ...What does the rest mean?]

After communicating with Erii for a while, Uchiha Hikaru finally came to a conclusion—

The current timeline of the Dragon Raja world should be in early 2009.

The anime adaptation of Inuyasha finished airing in 2004, and production of the final chapter only began at the end of 09.

In Erii's memory, "The Final Chapter" did not exist, but she had just watched the Kingdom of Brittany—that is, the second season of "Code Geass" not long ago. The anime aired in the second half of 08, so the time of the Dragon Raja world must be between these two numbers, closer to the former.

"Based on the beginning of 09, Erii should be around 17 years old now. Lu Mingfei is in high school at Shilan Middle School, and Chu Zihang may have already entered Kassel... There are still about two years until the time when Erii dies in the original work."

Hmm... It's still early, no need to rush.

Uchiha Hikaru felt relieved and began to pay attention to Kikyo's movements.

After Erii revealed her "fate," Kikyo fell silent.

Bulma tried tagging her several times, but didn't see a reply.

[Bulma: Hikaru, what should we do? Kikyo hasn't said anything, is something wrong?]

[Anonymous: ...I think she might be having trouble accepting being told about her "fate."]

[Yongdai Mei: Indeed.]

[Yongdai-mei: I thought my existence was already quite surprising, but I never expected Miss Kikyo to actually... If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. Everyone in the group and I are happy to assist you.]

【…】

There was no response.

After a brief silence, Bulma suddenly spoke.

[Bulma: Actually, you should think of it this way! The things that happened in those "projections" were just one of many futures that could have happened to us. But from the moment we joined this chat group, the original future ceased to exist. In its place, we created a brand new future with our own hands! Isn't the meaning and charm of life precisely in the unknown?]

[Yoyo: Miss Bulma is absolutely right.]

[Iron-headed kid, possessed by evil spirits: Yeah, yeah!]

Bulma: Hehe, thank you for the compliment!

[Bulma @ Little Monster: By the way, Erii, can you help me find out who my future boyfriend will be?]

【nameless:……】
