"I've thought about it, and you can't really help much. Knowing more might actually be a bad thing, so let's just forget about it."
"...Thank you for thinking of me, Big Sister." Kosaka Yuya had a bitter face and looked completely dumbfounded.
How could he not know that the female elf demon was playing a trick on him?
He deliberately revealed some information, but then withheld it at the crucial moment. Forced by superior strength and having his high ground occupied, he still had to thank her! He still had to thank her!!
"Alright, you idiot sprite!" Ruri Gokou was also tricked. The pop-up request for paid viewing at the last minute before MAX made her feel disgusted.
Most importantly, Ruri Gokou discovered that when she looked at the fox spirit, she would suddenly feel that life would be meaningless without the fox spirit, and then she would suddenly think, "Why doesn't this idiot spirit just hurry up and die?"
Even without thinking, you can tell this guy is playing with a switch!
That passive charm switch!
"You!" He glared at Miss Fox, about to unleash a torrent of curses, but then the urge returned. Looking at her smiling face, he couldn't bring himself to yell at her!
Even after staring at her for a while, a feeling of embarrassment welled up inside him, and his face involuntarily flushed!
"Tch, how come this damn world's consciousness only gave you such an idiotic passive ability!"
Ruri Gokou closed her eyes, sat on the sofa without saying a word, preferring to stay out of sight, out of mind.
Buzz—~
Just then, a familiar special effect appeared in the room, visually creating ripples in the space like water.
Kousaka Yuya immediately focused his attention, looking like a bruised and battered Merlin, and aimed his staff at the center of the ripples.
"Oh dear, is the little black cat angry with the group owner?"
A gentle voice emanated from within the ripples, and a woman dressed in a smart, professional outfit emerged.
Completely different from Miss Fox, she was a woman exuding a gentle and graceful aura.
Despite being taller and more mature than Miss Fox, when the two stood together, Miss Fox appeared quite naive. She was only mature on the outside, while her inner self remained very young.
"A strong, sour smell." Miss Fox couldn't help but complain as she looked at Benten.
Only one person came over, but Bian Tian made it seem like she had brought her boyfriend along, and the cold dog food was being stuffed into her mouth.
"Envious?" Benten smiled and walked behind Miss Fox, wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm not envious of that." Rather, Miss Fox loves to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), but doesn't like being one of those who distribute it.
"You're the only one who came?"
"Yes, for now it's just me. Nobody else seems interested in group tasks, unlike you, Xiao Cousin, who's always there and never misses a single one."
"...This is not the kind of attendance I want."
Miss Fox was really upset. She was the one who triggered the group quest, and the crisis was slapped right in her face. What could she do?
"Sigh..." Life is tough, the fox sighed. "Kousaka Yuya, you guessed it, didn't you?"
He pointed behind him to Benten, "Yes, that's right, from the chat group."
He then pointed to Gokou Ruri, "This girl wasn't possessed by a soul; she just happened to join a chat group."
"Then..."
"Is the information you're going to tell me related to the group mission?" Kosaka Yuya raised his hand and answered quickly.
“That’s right.” Miss Fox nodded.
"This situation is a bit complicated. Not only are there two reincarnation teams that are supposed to come here for team battles, but there's also the appearance of the Time and Space Administration."
"Time and Space Administration Bureau..." Kosaka Yuya mustered up his courage and looked at Miss Fox, only to find that the female elf demon in his mind was actually quite serious for once!
Kosaka Yuya was so startled that he thought he was seeing things!
"Beep, host, you're not seeing things..."
System, shut up!
"...Boss, isn't the Time and Space Administration an easy group to deal with?"
"Congratulations on guessing correctly, but there's no prize."

Chapter 430 The Image of the Time and Space Administration
The Time and Space Administration, judging from its name, might remind people of the organization in the Doraemon series that exists in the far future, much further from the 22nd century.
An institution that prevents others from using time machines to modify or poach the past, and that upholds history.
However, what the members of the chat group learned from Yue Feiming was not the case.
How the Time and Space Administration came into being remains a mystery even among time travelers.
Some say it was formed by the survivors of early transmigrators who recklessly destroyed the world but failed to wipe them out; others say it was formed by a group of native inhabitants who had been abused by transmigrators, and so on.
There is no definite answer.
Even the oldest time travelers who were able to establish connections were completely unaware of the birth of the Time and Space Administration.
All that is known is that the Time and Space Administration hates all time travelers regardless of the reason, possesses a special technology for identifying time travelers, and is composed entirely of natives recruited from various worlds.
An unknown passerby, a minor character with a name, a supporting character, a villain, or a protagonist—you can find multiple of them in this game.
Using technology of unknown origin, they travel between different worlds in specialized ships, hunting down any transmigrators they detect, for reasons unknown, and without considering whether the transmigrators are good or evil.
"Simply put, it's a one-size-fits-all approach, regardless of good or bad. So we shouldn't consider any possibility of negotiation; if we encounter any, we should just wipe them out without leaving any survivors."
When Yue Feiming explained this, he also emphasized that the transmigrators had not given up trying to negotiate.
The initial mission of the Transmigrators' Alliance was to strive for peace and then to help transmigrators find their way home.
Then they paid a bloody price, with more than half of the initial members killed or wounded.
This also gave rise to hawkish time travelers who believed that as long as the Time and Space Administration survived, a final battle would inevitably take place sooner or later.
While they don't oppose the idea of the alliance going into hiding and becoming an underground organization if they can't coexist, they are determined to deal with the issue of the Time and Space Administration through a "it's either you or me" approach.
The idea is easy to understand: if you don't want peaceful coexistence, then let the hatred come even more fiercely.
"So that's the situation."
"First, two teams from the Reincarnation Space will descend upon this world and turn it into a team battle map."
"Then, a ship from the Time and Space Administration happens to be approaching this world, and it will inevitably detect the arrival of the Reincarnation Squad and intervene by force."
"The intelligence reports that most members of the Time and Space Administration would rather sacrifice the world's original inhabitants, or, no matter how much damage it causes to life in this world, as long as the world's consciousness is not compromised, then the transmigrator must die."
Miss Fox shrugged and told Yuya Kousaka everything she had learned through the chat group.
Just in case this guy runs into the Time and Space Administration and tries to negotiate with them, only to be easily killed.
Knowing in advance allows for a period of struggle.
Maybe they'll survive?
"Isn't the Space-Time Administration a bunch of lunatics?" Kosaka Yuya frowned deeply as he listened.
We all come from civilized society. As long as we're not dark-hearted, immature, or mentally challenged individuals born from capitalism, most time travelers wouldn't think of causing any harm to the world.
Just like him, whether he has a system or not, he just wants to live a happy life. Discovering that he is in the world of "Oreimo" is an unexpected surprise.
Without even a negotiation, they just cut everything off in one fell swoop.
Are time travelers pests?
“I guess we should consider it an invasive species,” Ms. Benten interjected.
Yuya Kosaka glanced at the woman, dressed with an air of professionalism, and couldn't guess which work she was from. He said with a hint of helplessness, "Even invasive species can be benign..."
"Whether something is benevolent or not is defined by humans." Ruri Gokou gave her a disdainful look. "Do you really think those lunatics are human?"
"Indeed, to destroy any transmigrator indiscriminately is the act of a madman." Unless the existence of transmigrators is inherently harmful, but that conclusion is untenable, since the world consciousness takes a laissez-faire approach and would have dealt with any potential harm immediately.
Miss Fox looked at Ruri Gokou.
Ruri Gokou raised an eyebrow. "What? Why are you staring at me like that, you idiot spirit? Getting itchy and want to play with the switch again?"
"Hmm... I was just wondering if my passive ability would work if there were a Chiba Fallen Saint Black Cat in the Transmigrator Alliance."
"Why are you assuming it's me?" Gokou Ruri waited anxiously for the fox-girl.
Miss Fox pointed at the bewildered Kousaka Yu without saying a word.
Ruri Gokou's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't speak anymore.
If there really is another Ruri Gokou from the "Oreimo" world, then the possibility of her betraying them, or rather, the possibility of her being used, is extremely high.
After all, Kosaka Yu truly loves Gokou Ruri. Neither the fox spirit nor Benten could capture his attention; most of his focus was on Gokou Ruri.
At this moment, this feeling can no longer be ignored.
"No, I love Gokou Ruri deeply! No one can twist me, not even another Gokou Ruri!" Kousaka Yuya patted his chest and assured him.
But none of the three spoke; they simply watched him silently.
Kousaka Yuya shrank back and said timidly, "Okay, Gokou Ruri is fine."
Ruri Gokou's mouth twitched; she didn't know what to say.
"You're a good person." That was all Ruri Gokou could say in the end.
Because she had absolutely no feelings for Kousaka Yuya, at least not the kind of flutter she felt when that idiot elf activated his passive ability, that warm, blissful feeling that came over her just by looking at him...
"Wait! You idiot elf, you've been playing with the switch again!"
"Hehe~" Miss Fox tapped her head and blinked.
Turn off passive control without leaving a trace.
"I won't give up. No matter what difficulties I face, they can't defeat me." Despite being friend-zoned, Kousaka Yuya looked directly into Gokou Ruri's eyes. "Of course, I won't force myself on you, but I'll try my best to make you like me!"
"Not bad, that's a man's determination," Benten couldn't help but exclaim.
If Shimogamo Yasaburo had had this will from the beginning, perhaps the original ending, even without the chat group, would have been the same as the ending she achieved now.
"Alright, little filler, your transmigrator underling has got the information. As the most active participant in group tasks, do you have any plans?"
"For this mission, I'll do whatever you say!"
"What... you'll listen to me?" Miss Fox looked Bian Tian up and down, her eyes filled with suspicion.
