Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

Let me see, my mom has 5, the principal has 6, and three colleagues I'm on good terms with at school make up 9 in total? And then there are all sorts of friends I haven't contacted in ages?

Her fingers began to grow cold, and an ominous premonition slowly surfaced.

At that moment, her phone sent her a notification that she had gained new followers on Twitter.

Ignoring the missed calls, she opened Twitter with trembling hands.

[Yahoo! COOOOOL! I never thought I'd have a friend who's a superhero! @Hiratsuka Shizuka [Video]]

Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely relaxed at this point, like a sage who had witnessed the teachers' wonderful performance, and she turned on the video without hesitation.

The video has a blurry, mobile phone-shot quality, but the content is extremely popular.

Inside, there was a woman who, with almost brutal and swift methods, knocked down a vicious monster with one punch after another.

The video was short and the resolution was so low that people could barely be seen, but it still went viral and was widely shared.

The monster and the beautiful woman danced with their fists, with a rhythmic punch and the protagonist's great heart, attracting both lecherous men and infatuated women who shouted "Big Sister!"

Moreover, the person who posted the video even specially edited it and added music.

That's a great video, if I weren't the one in it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's rationality snapped. She turned off her phone, started the car, and drove straight to the residence of her old classmate who had become an internet celebrity.

I'm going to beat the crap out of you, you bastard!

-------------------------------------

Hiratsuka Shizuka's exposure is not an isolated case; this incident has far-reaching implications.

The situation in Chiba City erupted suddenly due to the enemy's surprise attack and the death of Special Affairs Bureau support personnel.

Even though it's not a big city like Tokyo, Chiba has a large population, and the low-quality deadbeats roam around and cause harassment over a wide area. Putting aside the casualties they cause, the key issue is the timing of their attacks.

The sun hadn't set yet, students were heading home, and local residents were gathered at their workplaces, naturally witnessing everything.

As a result, the speed at which videos were deleted and banned couldn't keep up with the speed at which they were uploaded, while written reports and on-site videos circulated widely with everyone's encouragement. Even the excuse of making a movie couldn't convince everyone anymore.

Ultimately, another reason is that Japan's reaction speed wasn't that fast either; the focus was still on discussing how to resolve the crisis. By the time the Defense Agency and the Special Affairs Bureau received news that the crisis had been resolved, they had only just finalized the plan to dispatch reinforcements.

As a result, they had no choice but to put on a mask of pain, delete two hours of discussion, and start thinking about how to cover up the incident.

The consensus was: I'm backing down, do whatever you want.

"Pfft!" Fujimaru Ritsuka spat out the sports drink in her mouth, holding her phone incredulously: "Seriously? You're telling me there's no need to hide it? Haruno, are you sure you're not lying?"

"...I've been thinking about it too. Have the Special Affairs Bureau and the Defense Agency gone mad?" Yang Nai said helplessly, but then smiled slyly. "But isn't it a good thing that we have less work?"

"There must be more good news?"

“I can’t hide it from you.” Yang Nai sounded quite cheerful. “Besides your teacher, Xiao Jing, who became famous for some reason because of Shi Ping, others also got exposure. Especially the monks, priests, shrine maidens, and hunters who cooperated with us.”

"...Good heavens, you were the one who stirred things up?"

"Of course! You'll see, these partners will soon see a rise in their profile! And they're all really capable people, which will help reduce our workload. When they can't handle the high-difficulty cases anymore, they'll come to us. Anyway, we'll still get a cut."

As expected of you, Haruno, you always manage to get some opportunities.

"Speaking of which, did Lisa Lisa and Kaiki Deishuu make any progress?" Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up the microphone and became serious.

"Hmm! They followed Artoria and should have eventually obtained some of her blood. What about you?"

"The church's baptismal chants are pretty impressive, but I think I still got some remnants." Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled the scene of Hiratsuka Shizuka making him charge into the trap, and couldn't help but want to type a line of 666.

You're making a weasel pay respects to a chicken! Good brother, I'll remember this favor, and I'll try to find you a partner later.

He took out a crystal container containing a tiny, extremely small red dot. About the size of half a grain of rice, it refracted iridescent colors in the sunlight.

"Then you should hurry back. As for the remaining loose ends in Chiba City... leave someone to me to help keep things in order."

"The Sasakawa Yagokoro squad will stay behind to conduct patrols. Yukino, Yui, and Utaha will all stay behind to cover for you."

After agreeing on the personnel allocation, the Chaldea group carefully and quickly returned to the mansion.

Lisa Lisa and Beki Deishuu, in particular, cherished her dearly.

How can I not cherish it?

In theory, there shouldn't be any residue of Hakuhime's blood. It would simply disappear through repeated consumption when eliminating inferior Dead Apostles.

However, Lisa Lisa and Beki Nissho, who were very skilled in sealing magic, had a sudden inspiration.

They managed to mimic the aura of the White Princess's descent, fabricating a similar wavelength, and then tried it out, and were actually able to draw upon the White Princess's blood.

"This blood seems to have a life of its own; it binds together when it smells its owner's scent. As for the reason behind it? Heaven knows!"

Lisa, who had come up with this cutting-edge technology, was the first to give up trying to figure out what the underlying principles were.

Now that all the containers had been put together, they carefully examined the blood inside.

"Lisa Lisa...isn't this a little too little?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the container, which contained only two or three grains of rice, and looked on with a puzzled expression.

When Hakuhime descended, she was a blood clot almost the size of a finger joint.

"That was an emergency response. You accidentally triggered the hidden mechanism of its descent, so the consumption wasn't high. It's lucky there's so much left. Think about how you brutally beat those low-quality Dead Apostles?"

To be fair, that makes sense.

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do?" Fujimaru Ritsuka shamelessly squeezed into the great magicians' laboratory.

The great magicians thought, "How could someone so despicable be the boss? Shouldn't the boss just lie back and let the韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for easily exploited people) grow and harvest themselves? Why are you putting in so much effort?"

Oh, this boss is very generous with the funding. Then it's alright.

"The blood of the True Ancestor is something that can't be over-studied... but it's not actually that important." Lisa Lisa acted like she'd seen it all. "It's just the tentacles of a planet's consciousness, right? What haven't I seen back in the day? You know Hercules, right? I could chat him up like a baby!"

Lisa, pretending to be Medusa, elegantly uttered a British swear word as she placed her blood into the magic testing device.

Then, during her inspection, she saw all sorts of incredible things: "This absolutely cannot be some imitation planet tentacles, but the true progenitor created by Earth's prepared UO!"

"...Ah, it's said that Shirahime has the technology of those guys on the moon?"

"Even they couldn't do it... This thing contains something that is completely beyond our imagination."

"Let me see!" Fujimaru Ritsuka protested loudly, her hands covering her.

"No, boss, I really can't show it to you this time. You should go out first..."

Is this some kind of perfunctory response? Are you trying to play the riddle-maker? You think I'll just leave because you tell me to? Wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating?!

"By the way, we've had a flash of inspiration. If we can figure out what's in front of us, it might make that blank spirit origin useful."

Without saying a word, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurried out like a lackey: "Why didn't you say so sooner?! When you have inspiration, you should get rid of irrelevant people! You guys have a good time, I'm waiting for your good news~~~ How useful the blank spirit origin is depends on you guys."

Before leaving, he gently closed the door, as if afraid of disturbing the two great magicians.

"Gone? That's a rather clumsy lie." Kaiki Nishu looked at the intricate and complex structure before him, his expression unreadable.

That was the wind of the Hades, which had traversed countless ages and blown into this era, where they had witnessed it.

"Moreover, the crucial point is that this spirit base reaction is infinitely close to the feeling of a beast..."

"Don't worry, there might not even be beasts in this world. Besides, when Shirohime descended, she hadn't reached that level of spiritual origin, so she should be able to handle it, probably." Lisa sighed.

However, this thing was very familiar, and its aura was very similar to that of Fujimaru Ritsuka when she lost control. She was a little worried about what would happen if Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered it directly, so she chose to stop it.

"By the way, I'm not lying, I really did have a bit of inspiration that allows me to make a blank spirit origin move."

Blood is the currency of the soul.

Whether in mysticism or modern genetics, blood is an important element in understanding the mysteries of life.

The drop of blood before them contained an unobservable field, much like a black box. It took Lisa Lisa and Beki Deishuu a tremendous amount of effort to decipher its contents.

If I had to describe it, what's inside is the soul of a planet.

Similar to the base pairing of proteins, it contains an even greater amount of information, condensing a vast amount of information into a spiritual particle that lies between matter and spirit.

It's like a CD that records the genetic information contained in all life on Earth from the Hadean eon to the present day.

The explosive information contained within is all closely related to the instincts of struggle and reproduction.

Even as the alarm monitoring their physical condition sounded in the lab, the two remained engrossed in their excited analysis and research, triggering a pre-set boundary. The lab door opened automatically, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, along with her entourage, dragged the two magicians out.

They ate to replenish their energy and used healing methods to restore their spirits, but the two remained dazed and longed to return to the laboratory.

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook the two near-madmen with concern: "Wake up, what discovery has made you two so distracted?"

Lisa ignored him. If she hadn't understood that Fujimaru Ritsuka was genuinely looking out for her, she would have already been furious at being dragged out of the lab.

Bei Mu Nishu was slightly better off because he was just following Lisa Lisa's train of thought and hadn't yet figured out how to make use of this extremely rare and unique discovery.

So, in a daze, he replied to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "We just discovered that the True Ancestors really aren't human after all..."

?

Do you even need to tell me? Everyone knows that.

Having already finished dealing with the aftermath in Chiba City, Haruno looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a worried expression, winking: What happened? What's wrong with our cash cows, Chaldea's massive arms manufacturing machines?

As the one in charge of the purse strings, Yang is very sensitive to Chaldea's sources of income. This wave has wiped out almost all of their reserves. If anything goes wrong with the next two magicians, things will get tough from here on out.

Fujimaru Ritsuka hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Does that mean that True Ancestors and humans are reproductively isolated?"

The girls present all began to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka with strange eyes, and even the silent Lisa Lisa couldn't help but come back to her senses.

Fujimaru Ritsuka remained calm: "What's wrong? Didn't you realize this was a joke? Besides, whether or not there is reproductive isolation is related to species research, it's very serious."

Everyone: Who would believe you're joking?

Bei Mudshou coughed: "Actually, if we have to say, there shouldn't be any species isolation, at least not with the one we encountered."

That's strange, Beimu, why are you still responding?

"What do you mean?"

I really like it, let me say a little more!

"In this drop of blood, we can see almost all the genetic information expressed by spiritual particles—all of which refers to the genes of all eras that have emerged and changed since the Hadean eon on Earth 46 billion years ago... Moreover, it also exhibits inclusiveness."

Lisa continued from what Beki Deishuu had said, taking the originally strange topic in an unexpected direction: "We once conducted an experiment, using our own fantasy species that could be stored in the real world, and a small number of samples from modern organisms."
