Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

He lost his cat's smooth fur and agile limbs, and gradually began to transform into a human.

He sensed that this change was altering even the very essence of the bizarre, leaving only a few remnants in the end.

"Ah, it's so good to be human, meow." A clear, childlike voice rang out from the mouth of this unfamiliar body.

and many more.

Crisp? Naïve?

Anki-neko began frantically groping her body, completely panicked.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was the first to clap: "Congratulations, Aki-kun! You've finally turned back into a human!"

"Yay!" Abigail cheered.

Anki-neko was on the verge of tears.

Sersa Abby.jpg

42. The body is that of a child, but the mind is that of a pervert.

His chubby little face was wrinkled, showing that his owner had experienced all the hardships of life. His big eyes perfectly matched the human affection for cubs, and paired with his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, he had a comical charm.

Anki-nyan turned ashen-faced and typed "GG".

He groaned pitifully, wanting to protest, but then he caught sight of Noshu and Rutal, who looked increasingly like ordinary cats, maliciously licking their deliberately extended claws. He shuddered and cautiously forced a smile: "Miss Abby, why did you turn me into this age~~"

"Hey~~~ Isn't that your father? He looks to be in his early twenties at most, so you're probably eight or nine years old~ Isn't that right? Did Abigail get into trouble again?" Abigail looked at Aki-nyan pitifully, nervously pressing her large white hat on her head.

Behind Abi, Noshu and Rutal opened their mouths wide, a terrifying 270 degrees, silently threatening him.

No, I dare not say~~~

Aki-neko shook its big head and looked pleadingly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Sigh, I guess I'll have to step in.

"Abby...you really are a bit too old."

Is she really that honest? Aki-nyan looked like she was grasping at a straw.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked Abigail with enjoyment: "He's actually ten years old. It's just that kids are precocious and want to grow up quickly so they can flirt with older girls, so he's a little disappointed. But at least his gender hasn't changed, so a year or two difference isn't a big deal."

"Hehehe, is that so? But the materials are already finished, so there's no way to change them. But the leader is underestimating Abby! You can tell from Mr. Cat's voice that it was a boy, how could he be wrong!"

Damn it! They didn't seem to want to stand up for me at all. Oh well, I'm lucky I didn't have to get a sex change.

After a series of unreasonable arguments, Anki-neko actually started to think it was pretty good.

At this point, the bizarre scenery around them began to freeze into a false curtain, and the [PaperMoon] floating in the air stopped rotating. The journey through the imaginary ocean was drawing to a close.

Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly instructed Abigail, "Abigail, could you change into something else? Wearing a swimsuit might make it difficult to explain to the people who are coming later."

Abby nodded obediently, then with a wave of her little hand, pulled out a key almost as tall as herself from the crack that appeared out of thin air: "Sure~ Abby can transform into other forms. Would you like to see Abby in a dress, or in that cool jacket, Captain?"

So cool, I get to see Abby's big outfit change.

Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressed her burgeoning desire and told her, "Let's go with that American-style jacket; it's more suitable for interacting with outsiders."

“I’ll listen to the leader.” Abigail raised the key, inserted it into the door in the void, closed her eyes, and focused intently on changing her clothes.

While Abi was preoccupied, Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed at the unconscious Aki Tomoya to Kasumigaoka Utaha and silently mouthed: "Seal that kid's memories."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gestured with her fingers: You'll have to pay me back later!

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her finger, indicating that she would grant her one request.

Shiyu didn't linger, cheerfully acting as a dutiful tool, extending a spell made of words, like a rope, to the unconscious Aki Tomoya.

Not long after, she retreated to the vicinity, made a gesture to indicate OK.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a knowing thumbs-up, while Abigail hurriedly completed her transformation before the imaginary space could no longer hold. She held a teddy bear in her arms, followed by two ordinary cats, with an X-shaped bandage on her head, and gave a thumbs-up.

A tremor resounded, and the surrounding false curtain rippled before shattering completely, revealing the starry night of the dreamscape.

The shattered moon in the sky still illuminated the entire illusory dreamscape, and the stars ceased their gathering, disappearing into the bright moonlight.

Those guarding the area below also noticed the tower had reappeared and were rushing up, shouting and yelling.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gathered everyone together and whispered their statements for a while. After everyone indicated that they understood, footsteps could be heard from the stairs below the platform. He quickly rubbed his cheeks to compose himself.

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

"You villain, prepare to die!" Matsudaira Shinko, holding his naginata upside down, charged aggressively onto the platform, then stopped at the top of the stairs. "Huh?"

"Why are you still standing here? Go and support your Chaldea friends!" Sasagawa Yagoko shoved Matsudaira Mako aside, cautiously pointing his gun forward, then froze. He finally understood why Matsudaira Mako hadn't moved:

The vast platform was still remnants of fierce battle, riddled with countless craters. The old and battered altar still exuded a bewitching allure, though its power had diminished considerably.

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned wearily on Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder, next to a timid little boy and a girl who looked quite frightened.

Fujimaru Ritsuka lay on Yukino Yukinoshita's lap, covered in wounds, and waved at them exhaustedly: "Yo, you finally made it. Where's the culprit? Please help me tie him up."

Members of various organizations emerged one by one from the stairwell, then stared speechlessly at the scene before them.

Why do we feel like the police who arrived late to clean up the mess?

Everyone feels a sense of dissonance, like starting strong but finishing weak. Just think about it.

The mastermind behind creating such a vast space and pushing Tokyo Tower into such a strange state has been dealt with by these young men who are not even twenty years old.

Although no one could have imagined that they wouldn't even have a fierce battle.

Haiyin Temple Sora frowned, scanning his surroundings as if searching for the strange occurrences he had encountered earlier, but to no avail. He glanced at the two children; the boy seemed to be trembling even more violently.

He couldn't help but smile kindly: "Don't be afraid, child, everything is alright now."

After calming the child down, he, being one of the older men in the group, asked, "Mr. Fujimaru, what's going on?"

"Ah, how should I put it, it was all a coincidence. Didn't you encounter a strange creature before, Master? It was the master of the cave, and it was very dissatisfied with the guy who had taken over its cave, so it helped us fight..." Fujimaru Ritsuka was flattered and put on a shy expression like a young person who had gotten a great deal, and began to tell what had happened.

In his vivid description, the doppelganger was supposedly righteous—or rather, displeased with Aki Tomoya's character—and fought him. Their organization, meanwhile, provided support, engaging in a battle of wits and courage with Aki Tomoya. After a series of fierce battles, and thanks to the doppelganger's superior control over Aki Tomoya, they finally defeated him, but the doppelganger perished in the process. However, due to arriving too late, they only managed to save two little ones who were to be sacrificed.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka's account wasn't without its flaws, Abigail also looked at everyone pitifully with her eyes, echoing his claim of being her "savior." This subtle and imperceptible influence slowly stirred everyone's thoughts, drawing them into the story Fujimaru Ritsuka had woven.

Wiping away a bead of sweat, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought to herself, "That's not a bad thing." As a high-ranking being who descended to earth, Abigail still carried some special influences at this moment, capable of interfering with everyone's minds in undetectable ways.

In other words, Abi temporarily possesses the ability to successfully "converse quickly" in the dream world, which allows her to enhance Fujimaru Ritsuka's persuasiveness in a helpful way.

As for what happens after we leave?

Amidst the cacophony of voices within the dreamscape, everyone would naturally fill in the gaps in his narrative, deliberately leaving things ambiguous for their own organizations. The chances of being exposed were slim. And since no one from the Special Affairs Bureau entered, wasn't that because they were in charge?

After hearing the story, everyone began cleaning up the mess and surveying the ceremony site. Sasagawa Yagoko casually approached: "So, you guys were lying, weren't you?"

"?!"

Sasagawa Yagokoro smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just about hiding our strength. Everyone understands what that means. You can tell from the scene that you are the main force. But we will help you hide it."

Nice, you saw right through the flaw I deliberately left out.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pretended not to know what you were talking about, putting on a brave face.

The man didn't continue the conversation, but simply handed over a business card: "Thanks for your help before, let's keep in touch."

After he left, people from other organizations also discreetly came over and left their contact information.

In this way, Abby and Aki-neko have been largely exonerated in the supernatural world, and the rest of their secrets can just be left to rot away.

Fujimaru Ritsuka squinted at the night sky of the Dreamland, feeling cheerful: "Another beautiful day."

43. A mother sells her daughter without feeling any remorse.

"What did you say? He's also Aki Tomoya?" In the Sawamura family's small villa, Eriri was stroking Aki Nyan's chubby face when she heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's words and paused.

Aki-neko quickly shook her head, escaping from Eriri's clutches, looking indignant: "Don't use that kind of frustrated feeling that old flames get when they hear their crush has a child, lol!"

Eriri's hands were itching again. According to Fujimaru Ritsuka, physiologically, this guy is Aki Tomoya's counterpart, a twin brother; ethically, he was born because of Aki Tomoya, making him a sort of adopted son; but mentally, he's basically a second Aki Tomoya...

How dare Aki Tomoya be so arrogant? And his skin feels so good too!

Eriri revealed a devilish smile, laughing darkly, "Don't resist, let me have my way with you. The trouble that Tomoya caused, you'll pay for with your body!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on the sofa with a cup of red tea, watching the two playfully bickering, while chatting casually with Sawamura Sayuri. After emerging from that strange dreamscape, Abigail was a bit sleepy and insisted that the captain stay with her to sleep. However, the alert Yukinoshita and Kasumigaoka teamed up to drag her to the bedroom, where the three of them are probably getting a good rest now.

Sawamura Sayuri watched her daughter release her pent-up desires, coughing and coughing as she relaxed, her complex emotions finally coming to an end. She asked Fujimaru Ritsuka in a low voice, "So, Aki Tomoya... just went in like that?"

Hearing this, the sharp-eared Eriri Sawamura stopped tormenting Aki-neko and instead placed the utterly dejected little guy on her lap like a toy, listening intently to what would happen next.

"Well, at least my life isn't in danger." Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about the old man's complicated expression when she handed in her report and Aki Tomoya gave it to the Special Affairs Bureau, and felt that there were many things worth pondering.

After they came out, Yukinoshita Haruno also arrived at the scene. Fujimaru Ritsuka was happy to be relieved and handed over the subsequent trivial matters to her and the Special Affairs Bureau. According to the information Haruno had found out, although Aki Tomoya would most likely be detained in the Special Affairs Bureau's containment facility, he had actually benefited from the misfortune.

First, his life is not in danger because, as an official organization, the Special Affairs Bureau ostensibly abides by Japanese law. It's well known that Japan does not have the death penalty. Second, cult members captured like this still have a chance to atone for their crimes, as long as they don't cause widespread casualties. In the future, if similar Cthulhu Mythos events occur, he will serve as a special advisor, assisting in the relevant cases in a manner similar to a tainted witness.

When Aki Tomoya regained consciousness during the journey, he didn't exhibit any extreme resistance. Instead, he seemed to have a profound sense of enlightenment after his faith was shattered. It feels like even if Kasumigaoka Utaha hadn't placed a spell on him restricting his disclosure of the truth about Abigail, he would have been too disheartened to bother revealing it.

After hearing everything, Eriri felt somewhat relieved of her vague worries and sighed, "I never expected that Tomoya would turn out like this. It's for the best, at least he's still alive. I just don't know how Uncle Aki and Auntie will understand this."

"Well, regarding this, Yono-nee has also negotiated with the Special Affairs Bureau. They won't disclose Aki Tomoya's actions to the public, including the charges he might be charged with. His parents will know some basic information, but they will need to sign a confidentiality agreement."

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised an eyebrow and asked Aki-nyan, "By the way, are you planning to be adopted by the Aki family?"

"Huh?" Aki-neko almost jumped out from Eriri's side, pointing at himself, looking a little confused.

"Yes~~ We secretly told the Aki family and gave you the title of '[a descendant bred by evil magic].' As a result, they said they plan to adopt you."

"Well, it's not impossible..." Aki Nyan felt a mix of emotions. After all, he possessed most of Aki Tomoya's memories, and naturally inherited his deep affection for his parents as well.

"As your grandson, I even gave you the name Aki Ritaro," Fujimaru Ritsuka added with a smile. "I heard they've already started choosing an elementary school for you. Congratulations, you've successfully cosplayed Conan."

"Damn Fujimaru Ritsuka! Aaaaaah!" The fussing Aki Nyan, no, Aki Ritsuro, was once again suppressed by Eriri rubbing his cheeks, and could only make muffled noises, unable to get up again.

Even Sayuri Sawamura wore a pleased expression this time, just like Ritsuka Fujimaru. It was so satisfying to see someone get the short end of the stick.
