A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

"Does a modern background not even work?"

Looking at Qianyu's even more resolute back, her previously excited face fell.

He looked down at the sketchbook, seemingly caught in some strange internal struggle.

"I clearly sensed a kindred spirit in him, and I even revised it again, so why am I still not interested?"

Akane Shinjo muttered to herself, pulled an eraser from her pocket, and began frantically erasing the page with the monster drawn on it.

"Is it because modern times lack a sense of immersion? Do today's male high school students no longer like these grand narratives?"

"It seems this won't work. How about we change the background to be more relevant?"

She turned around, found a secluded corner, squatted down, and prepared to rewrite.

"Since modern times don't work, let's set it ten years ago. Back then... well, it was a good era, with skyscrapers everywhere. The monsters would definitely have a more realistic sense of destruction!"

The girl was completely absorbed in revising her artwork, oblivious to the unusual phenomena in the world around her.

Chapter 62 Time Cards

the other side.

Qianyu led Xiaoke to hide behind a stall selling cushions.

"Therefore, the conclusion is obvious."

"We're trapped. This hall is like a game level where you have to constantly reload your save file."

"Yes."

"Because the Time Card is one of the highest-ranking cards in the Clow Card series."

Xiao Ke looked serious. Although his furry face looked a bit comical, his tone was definitely not joking.

"It has the ability to manipulate the flow of time, making time faster or slower, or even, like just now, directly rewinding time within a certain range!"

"Reverse flow..."

Qianyu narrowed her eyes.

"Then why are we the only ones who remember? The people outside seem to have no idea what just happened."

"Because of magic."

Xiao Ke explained:

"Time magic is an absolute rule for ordinary people. Once it is reset, their memories will also return to that point in time. But for those who possess magic, we can resist the erosion of this rule. It's like... although the river flows backward, we are the stones in the river, still in the same place."

"I see."

Qianyu nodded.

This explains why Eriri thinks it's Tuesday.

That young lady, probably the day after he blocked her...

Starting Tuesday, I've been stuck in this comic convention loop ever since.

In this endlessly repeating day, she is reset again and again, forgetting everything, and starting over.

"This is troublesome."

Xiao Ke sighed, clutching his small tuft of mane.

"Now it's clear that the card shift was just a decoy to mislead you."

"They're definitely in cahoots! The 'Shift' card is responsible for luring you into this inner area, while the 'Time' card has already turned this place into a time-loop trap. Once you're in, you'll be trapped in this constantly resetting time and won't be able to get out!"

Chiba couldn't help but sigh.

"These two cards work together quite well."

Although he knew there would be trouble inside, he didn't expect it to be this troublesome.

"The old man's cards are inherently wise, especially these high-ranking cards."

Xiao Ke explained helplessly.

"However... there's something strange."

It stroked its chin, a thoughtful expression on its face.

"The Time Card is powerful, but it needs time to recover its magic power after each activation. I don't understand why it would do something like this at this comic convention?"

"You just said this thing consumes a lot of mana?"

Chiyu astutely grasped the key point.

“That’s right! If it were a complete reset for a whole day, it would indeed need a long rest, but a small-scale reset of a few minutes like this is not difficult for it.”

Xiao Ke seemed to realize something, and her expression turned even uglier.

"Could it be that it's trying to conserve magic and trap us here with minimal cost?"

"Saves magic power..."

Chiyu astutely grasped the key point.

He remembered that in the original story, the clock directly reset the time of day in Sakura's town, but in his case, it was only a few minutes.

There must be a reason why the other party did this.

Could it be that the time card is preparing a powerful move?

Chiba clearly remembered that in the original work, Sakura relied on the absolute defense of her shield to become immune to time reversal, and then captured the Time Card.

But he doesn't have that card in his hand right now, what should he do?

Fortunately, Xiao Ke noticed his concerns.

"However, you don't need to worry. When the old man designed the time card, he set up great restrictions to prevent it from being misused and causing time paradoxes."

“Every time the Time Card activates its ability, no matter what it is used for, it needs a period of time to recharge its magic power. Although we don’t know how long this interval will be, it is indeed our only chance.”

"Cooldown period?"

Chiyu chewed on the word.

"So, even though that guy can rewind time like a videotape, his fingers cramp up for a while every time he presses the rewind button?"

"Although your analogy is terrible, that's roughly the idea."

Qianyu understood now.

The current solution is probably to find him after the time card triggers the rewind and then take him down.

But the biggest problem now is that Time is extremely cunning, hiding in the crowds at comic conventions and using the ever-repeating time loop to turn everyone into its cover.

It's really not easy to spot him.

Thinking of this, Qianyu couldn't help but ask

"Since he's trapped so many people here, won't their relatives and family members notice something amiss?"

Xiao Ke replied

"It's highly likely that the time cards have already reset the time in the Tomoeda district. In short, he'll act on anything that affects him."

When you hear the card, it has this terrifying AOE (area of ​​effect) control ability.

Qianyu immediately realized that the strategic value of this card was immeasurable. It could reset the entire time of such a large area. If he could get his hands on it, his combat power would take a qualitative leap.

By reviewing the reset trigger point, Qianyu astutely discovered the core of the time card's ability to rewind time.

When I first entered the venue, I didn't see any cards that could activate their effects, which means the other party wasn't targeting me.

It seems that the clock started rewinding just now because the crowd began to realize that something was wrong with the time.

So in other words, it's a creature that places extreme importance on order.

As soon as someone realizes the timing is wrong, it will not hesitate to initiate a backtracking to patch the vulnerability.

In that case, let's create chaos so great that it has no choice but to intervene.

Qianyu randomly revealed the plan.

Xiao Ke immediately showed a worried expression.

"But Chiyu, what are you going to do? This is a comic convention. Even if you run around naked, people will probably just think you're cosplaying some kind of weird character."

"Save the lowbrow fun of streaking to those internet celebrities who want to become famous."

Qianyu snapped her fingers.

Ninja soldiers suddenly appeared behind him, holding several gold bars in their hands.

Xiao Ke was puzzled.

"What's this, a gold bar?"

"No, these are some amazing tools we'll be using later."

……

……

Three minutes later, on the central stage inside the comic convention area.

Several cosplayers dressed in revealing clothing and with remarkably accurate costumes were swaying their hips on stage to upbeat otaku dance music.

A circle of photographers with long lenses and microphones surrounded the audience, along with otaku waving glow sticks and cheering wildly.

Just as the atmosphere reached its climax.

Several ninjas suddenly went on stage. Without saying a word, they moved in unison and lifted up the still bewildered dancers like chickens, showing no mercy as they dragged them off the stage.

"Hey! What's going on?! My second brother was watching the crucial moment and you pulled this on me?"

"You bastard! I took my pants off and this is what you show me?!"

"Who came here causing trouble! Where are the security guards! Where are the security guards?"
