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

The otaku in the audience instantly went wild.

Various vulgar words were mixed with mineral water bottles being thrown onto the stage like raindrops.

Several hot-tempered guys in the front row had even rolled up their sleeves, ready to charge in for a real-life fight.

Just then, Qianyu, who came up on stage after her, made a simple gesture that made all the violent impulses that were about to erupt back down.

Several gold bars were carelessly tossed on the ground.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Now, let's play a quiz game with a prize. Whoever can tell me what day it is today, what month and what day of the week it is."

"Whoever answers correctly gets to keep it."

This is a blatant insult.

They are trampling on their dignity with money.

But... it smells so good!

A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and they will have no morals whatsoever.

Faced with the overwhelming physical persuasiveness, the otaku's anger vanished instantly.

The fastest to react was a fat man in the front row wearing thick-rimmed glasses, who shouted it out almost without thinking.

"Saturday! Today is Saturday, May 10th!"

Without uttering any unnecessary words or even verifying whether what he said was true, Qianyu kicked the heavy gold bar, sending it crashing into the fat man's arms.

The fat man was jolted by the impact, but he didn't care about the pain at all.

With trembling hands, he put the gold bar to his mouth and took a big bite.

A clear tooth mark was left on it.

"It's real! Holy crap! It's real gold!"

That scream was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

People who were initially hesitant have gone completely mad.

"Holy crap! It really is gold!"

"No! He's talking nonsense! It's clearly Wednesday, May 4th!"

"Bullshit! Today is May 7th! I swear in my grandfather's name!"

In an attempt to prove that they were the rightful recipients of the gold bars, the crowd, which had initially been arguing verbally, began pushing and shoving each other, and some even came to blows.

The entire interior was in complete chaos.

Qianyu stood on the stage, ignoring the crowd that was about to fight over the gold, and activated her spiritual vision again.

In that bizarre and wonderful world.

As so many people began to realize that the timing was wrong, the magical lines in the air, which had been flowing steadily, began to tremble violently.

Xiao Ke, who was perched on his shoulder, suddenly bristled and tensed up all over.

"Qianyu, the magic reaction is off the charts! The time cards will have to be forcibly adjusted again!"

Even without its reminder, Qianyu had already seen it.

In the northwest corner of the hall, a green light, like a tsunami, rapidly radiated outwards from that point, attempting to forcibly smooth out the chaotic timeline once again.

"over there……"

Qianyu's gaze traveled upstream, passing through layers of figures, and finally locked onto the original point from which the ripples originated.

Then that familiar, soul-piercing white light flashed again.

……

"How was it? Wasn't it great?"

The world has been reset again.

The noise subsided, and the arguments disappeared.

Akane Shinjo's enlarged smiling face appeared before Chiba once again.

She was still holding the sketchbook in her hand, still wearing that expectant expression.

"Hey, classmate? Are you listening?"

"I'm listening."

Instead of being annoyed, Qianyu smiled confidently.

He then ignored Akane Shinjo and moved with Kero toward the locked target.

Xiao Ke was still completely bewildered.

"Where are we going, Qianyu? Aren't we going to look for the time card?"

"I've found it."

"Huh? You...you know where it is?"

Xiao Ke rubbed her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

How did you figure that out?

"It's very simple."

As Qianyu walked, she pointed to the people around her who were still talking and laughing.

Have you heard of nuclear radiation?

"what?"

"I just heard you say that the magic of time is like a surge of ocean currents, so I guess time reversal isn't done in an instant, but rather spreads outwards from a central point like radiation."

"I found it strange before that these people had a magical red glow around them. I initially thought it was an illusion created by the card-shifting technique to distract me."

"But now it seems that the card shifter doesn't have that ability. The red magic on them should be the magic residue left after the time magic reset."

"So, as long as we trace back to the source of that reset ripple when the Time Card activates its ability, we can observe which people's magical energy fluctuations deepen first."

"And just now, when the Time Card activated its ability, I saw the starting line with the water ripples."

Xiao Ke suddenly realized

"I see."

"Hmm, it seems your intelligence is no less than mine, Qianyu."

"Xiao Ke... please stop telling jokes now."

Following the guidance of the lingering magic, Kazama Chiba arrived at a corner of the comic convention, only to find that it was actually the booth for "Elden Ring".

On a chair in front of the booth sat an old man, draped in a tattered gray cloak and resembling a withered tree trunk, holding a sand-flowing hourglass in his hands.

Without a doubt, it is the black card behind the scenes.

This outfit would definitely make him look like a homeless person or a strange old man on the street, but this is a comic convention.

The cosplayers around him, dressed as "Faded Ones" or carrying giant swords, didn't find him out of place at all. Instead, they all looked at him with admiration, probably because they thought that the old man's level of accuracy was simply off the charts, and he even captured the "half-buried" vibe perfectly.

found it.

Qianyu stopped ten meters away from the old man, deactivated her spiritual vision, and saw the hourglass still flowing in the old man's hand.

Xiao Ke reminded him

"Looks like the Time Card's power hasn't cooled down yet!"

"Qianyu, hurry up!"

The opportunity was too good to miss, and Qianyu immediately sprang into action upon seeing this.

Don't say anything, just take two of my staffs!

He charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, still chanting a spell.

"Restore your original form! Clow Card!"

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

Just as Qianyu was about to slam her staff onto the old man's forehead to end this cyclical game.

The old man was not alarmed at all; instead, he revealed a mocking smile.
