How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

"Oh, is this young man trying to chat me up?" Miss Fox's interest was piqued, and she finally put down Tomioka Tsukasa, leaning forward to admire the young man's blushing face.

She gently placed her hand on the young man's shoulder, her breath as sweet as orchids.

"Sure!"

"Really? That's great!" the young man exclaimed excitedly, only to be warned by a library staff member.

Miss Fox was very pleased with this.

That's how it is; she just enjoys seeing others lose their composure because of her.

The main reason was that the young man looked somewhat familiar; otherwise, I wouldn't be interested in playing this kind of game with a stranger.

“Young man, you’re so unguarded with women, you’re likely to get taken advantage of,” Tomioka Keiko suddenly warned.

Indeed, young people are so naive and easily fooled.

He's the kind of person who's most likely to be kept like a fish by a goddess.

However, it is difficult for young people to realize this problem simply by being reminded verbally.

Miss Fox shook her head and asked the young man, "So, young man, what's your name?"

Since the fox had promised, it wasn't exactly breaking its promise.

It's a good opportunity to see why the young man gives her a sense of familiarity, and she doesn't know which work he is from in her memory.

"Ah, my name is Iwatani..."

Before he could finish speaking, a light suddenly shone beneath the young man's feet, and then he vanished without a trace!

Miss Fox: ?

Chapter 875 Have you ever heard of the windmill vine?

"My name is Iwatani..."

A sudden flash of light appeared, and the young man who had just been introducing himself vanished without a trace.

All that remained was the aura of magic and the book held in the young man's hand.

The book with a fantastical cover and a gem-like object in the center caught everyone's attention.

Because that book doesn't fit into light novels or manga; it's more like a magic book prop used for cosplay.

Tomioka Tsuko picked up the book and opened it. "The Legend of the Four Holy Heroes?"

"Was that person from the book who just transmigrated?" Ina asked.

"No, this book only has a beginning."

Tomioka Kōko shook her head and showed the contents of the book. Only the first page contained text; the rest was blank.

However, the protagonist's name was changed to Naoto Iwatani.

No one recognizes his given name, but the young man mentioned the surname Iwatani during his self-introduction.

Without a doubt, this book was the medium that led to Naoto Iwatani's time travel.

"Do you know his story?" asked Tomi Okako.

“I know a little, that’s all I can say,” Ire replied.

"The Rising of the Shield Hero is quite famous, but the anime adaptation was a bit of a letdown."

For example, where the raccoon is soft-hearted and doesn't kill the enemy; and in the end, when the case is overturned, Naoto Iwatani still spares the lives of the culprit king and the eldest princess.

The animation team's changes in these two parts were indeed unsatisfactory.

You must feel great, right? Successfully overturning the verdict and clearing your name is indeed great.

But if you say it's okay, it's still a bit unsatisfactory, like eating something delicious but having something stuck in your teeth.

It's like, it's missing that little bit of something.

"Is everything alright now? Can you take me home now?"

Ire glanced at the time and urged the fox to get up without any hesitation.

Anyone who didn't know them would think they were very familiar with each other.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you back now." Miss Fox nodded and opened a door.

The fox seems to be planning to go to the world of The Rising of the Shield Hero, but he's not taking Ire and Ina with him. It's not that he can't keep an eye on them, it's just that he's too lazy to watch them.

You know, keeping your spiritual sense constantly active takes up too much brainpower, and Miss Fox doesn't like that.

Miss Fox prefers to use her brainpower on making stupid mistakes.

"Sister Fox, take me to play again next time you have the chance~" Ina said goodbye before leaving, but was quickly pulled into the portal by Ire.

In the end, all we did was take Ire to a bookstore and library in Osaka and Tokyo.

However, the discovery of this process was not bad.

"Slice-of-life anime are nowhere near as interesting as isekai anime!"

The fly rubbed its hands together, and Miss Fox had already located the world of The Shield Hero using the lingering magical energy.

If you just punch hard in front of you, you can open the door.

The fox, who was about to do so, noticed Tomioka Keiko reading the legend of the Four Holy Warriors.

Ok.

"Do you need me to take you back to Osaka, or would you like to come with me to play in another world?"

An entity capable of manipulating time.

Even if she looks like an ordinary person no matter how you look at her, and her physical abilities are the same as a little girl's, her ability to protect herself is definitely not a problem.

“No need. Since we’re already in Tokyo, we might as well visit some friends.” Tomioka Shigeko shook her head, rejecting both proposals.

"But this book has some new content."

"So fast?" Miss Fox was taken aback, then crouched down and leaned closer, and sure enough, she saw new content appearing on the blank page.

It's like watching someone type live, seeing the words appear one by one.

However, Miss Fox knew the contents.

That's the content of the first episode.

Naoto Iwatani, who became the Shield Hero, was looked down upon by the other three heroes because the Shield Hero only had defensive capabilities and no offensive abilities.

Then everyone targeted him, and he was treated as a joke during the leveling process.

Then comes the plot where the eldest princess frames him and he is driven out of the capital.

"It seems that time flows faster over there."

With a gentle tap of her finger, the two worlds connected in Miss Fox's hand, and the content of the legend of the Four Holy Warriors stopped abruptly, stuck.

The content is stuck after the Shield Hero buys the Filo Bird Egg.

The development is really fast. If it hadn't been connected in time, the first season's content would probably have been over by now.

If you go too late, you'll miss the chance to beat up the people who were waiting ahead.

"..." Tomioka Tsuko was speechless for a moment. The novel she was following was originally updating more than ten chapters a day, but it was forced to update only once a day by outsiders, which was very uncomfortable.

But she didn't want to say too much, after all, the Shield Hero was in such a pitiful state, it would be better to hold the line and let someone go to help him.

"Does that kingdom suffer from some serious illness?"

If you're complaining about the hero you summoned, then you shouldn't have summoned him in the first place.

And those three heroes too.

Because the Shield Hero has no offensive capabilities, they look down on him.

Tomioka Shigeko doesn't even know how to complain about Tank, one of the two "fathers" of the adventure party.

The carry role changes every year, but the support role remains constant, you know?

"How could those three guys be chosen as heroes? I just can't understand it..."

"He is indeed seriously ill," the fox nodded.

"As for those three heroes, I recall in the later information about the story that they weren't the optimal choice..."

Before her transmigration, Miss Fox hadn't read much of the Rising of the Shield Hero novel, but she did know some general information.

For example, the summoning of the Four Holy Heroes was tampered with. Apart from Naoto Iwatani, all of them were candidates ranked third or later, and those three were deliberately chosen.

I'm not sure what the purpose is, because I haven't seen it.

It is said that there are other worlds, and you will fight against heroes from other worlds.

"What a cutthroat world," Tomioka Miko remarked. "Are the king and the eldest princess spies planted here?"

"Spies becoming kings? That's unbelievable."

indeed.

The idea that the queen is actually the ruler of the kingdom seems like it was added on later.

What's even more outrageous is that the Queen knew the King had problems, yet she still handed over power to him—that's even more absurd.

And then there's the fact that the kingdom originally worshipped the Four Holy Heroes. Your Queen has only been on campaign for a short time, and the country has already completely switched to worshipping the Three Holy Heroes.

That's not just the king targeting the Shield Hero; it applies to nobles and commoners alike!

"Hmph, this is what they call a deus ex machina," explained Tomioka Keiko.

When the author can't think of a reasonable way to reverse the situation, but it's absolutely necessary to do so, they invent an absolute external force to help the protagonist overcome the difficulties.

This is what is known as deus ex machina.

"I know about deus ex machina, but I'm a writer after all," Miss Fox retorted.

"And rather than discussing that, I'm curious about exactly which friends you went to visit."

"This? Have you ever heard of *Symplocos edulis*?"
