Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"Meow... (Okay...)"

Seeing that its identity had been exposed, Blacktail simply stopped pretending and stood up like a Palico, spreading its paws to the sides and meowing.

"Meow, meow meow meow? (I can understand you, but you can't understand what I'm saying?)"

"I don't understand, are you really unable to speak human language?"

"Meow meow!"

Its meow was saying 'Nonsense!' Kuroba Akira understood, or more accurately, he understood from the way its eyes rolled.

Since it can understand, it means it can communicate, so Kuroba Akira immediately said what he wanted to complain about the most.

"Stop slacking off! Didn't you need me to help you collect faith? Then tell me how to use the power you gave me!"

"Meow...meow!"

Blacktail then pressed the paw pads of its two front paws together, indicating 'that's fine.'

"I already know that; you need to be able to copy it with your right hand."

"Meow?"

That disdainful look seemed to say, 'Then why are you asking the question?'

"What I want to ask is, how can you 'completely transfer' the words from one person's hand to another's hand... It should be possible, right?"

Black Tail crossed its two paws in front of its chest, posing as if it were deep in thought with its arms crossed.

"Meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow~ (So troublesome~ Too lazy to explain~)"

Finally, it spread its two paws out and sighed, seemingly finding it too troublesome and unwilling to explain.

"Damn it! Don't give up! You little glutton! If you want to turn back into human form, then you'd better take responsibility as a guide and explain things clearly to me, otherwise how will anyone know what you want me to do with this ability!"

Kuroba Akira took out his phone, along with the pen and notebook that Shirai Shiori had given him, from his pocket.

“Look, even if your cat paws can’t write, they should still be able to press buttons, right? Type out the katakana for what you want to say, and I’ll rewrite it into a sentence so we can quickly align them.”

To prevent Kuroo from escaping, Kuroba Akira shoved the phone into his paw, then lay down on the ground, gripped the pen, and said in a posture ready to start copying.

"It's okay to go slowly, I'm not in a hurry. I want to spend more time figuring out exactly how to use your ability."

"Meow... (Trouble...)"

Seeing that Kuroo was still very reluctant, Kuroba Akira spoke sincerely once again.

"Although I don't know how much faith it will take to make you speak human language again or turn you back into human form, since Grandpa Kobayashi has entrusted this mission to me, I will do my best to complete it. So please cooperate... My Lord!"

Seeing that even its only agent was bowing down to it and addressing it as a god, Black Tail finally abandoned its aversion to trouble and reluctantly began to use its sharp claws to tap the phone buttons to type text.

After Kuroo finished typing a line, Kuroba Akira reorganized all the text and copied it onto a piece of paper.

"Let me see... First of all, karma doesn't disappear, it only transfers... Goodness, even metaphysics has to abide by the law of conservation of energy, right?"

Although Akira Kuroba had not studied Buddhism, he had heard of related concepts. It seemed that karma would accompany him throughout his entire life, so it was reasonable that it could only be transferred and not eliminated.

Because 'karma' will eventually turn into 'retribution' and act on people, this is karmic retribution, which can also be called... cause and effect.

Then Kuroba Akira read aloud the next paragraph that Kuroo had typed out.

"And the transfer of karma actually happened when you came to this world... Hmm? Us? Do you mean us 'people from another world whom you resurrected'?"

"Meow! (That's right!)"

Kuroba Akira crossed his arms and pondered, only then realizing that it was indeed true.

“Indeed… I have indeed taken over Kuroba Akira’s identity now, just like Uncle Yu and Sister Hong. They are all ‘living on’ in this world with new identities. In other words, we who have been resurrected are actually inheriting the karma of our original bodies, is that what you mean?”

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Sister Hong's talents in both lifetimes are recorded in her right hand.

Kuroo nodded emphatically, indicating that Kuroba Akira's understanding was completely correct.

"Speaking of which, I also have a question I wanted to ask you about the matter of resurrection. Why are the situations of the three of us transmigrators different? It seems that only Grandpa Kobayashi and Uncle Yong are normal, while Sister Hong couldn't merge together successfully... And what about my memories? Did you swallow them?"

"Meow……"

He actually looked away guiltily; it seems there's something fishy going on here.

"Could it be your mistake? Hmm?"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

Even without translation, Kuroba Akira could tell what this meow meant; it was definitely saying, "No way!"

It seems that Blacktail doesn't want to admit it was its mistake, or perhaps there's something else going on.

But since it didn't intend to answer, Kuroba Akira didn't press the matter further. After all, he was a god, and if he pushed it too far, it might just disappear on the spot, leaving Kuroba Akira back to his state of complete ignorance.

We can talk about time travel later; the most urgent thing now is to find out about the abilities.

"Anyway, let's continue. Tell me quickly about the method to completely transfer karma!"

"Meow……"

Kuroo sighed and continued to slowly type in hiragana.

Kuroba Akira continued copying and reading the contents aloud.

"First, you need to 'cut off karma,' so that the subject of karma changes from the holder to me, and then I share it with others... So how exactly do you 'cut off karma'? It shouldn't actually involve cutting it off with a knife or something, right?"

Kuroba Akira had heard the term "severing the karmic ties of evil spirits" in some games, but those were just high-sounding but incomprehensible phrases. In reality, they meant nothing more than "you and I are now cut off!" or simply splitting the other person's body in two.

Anyway, the other party is dead, so the grudges are settled.

Kuroko then continued to explain.

"Hmm, let me see... Cutting off karma means making the original entity of karma completely give up its dependence on karma... Ah, I understand, simply put, it means making talented people 'not use their talents,' is that what it means?"

"Meow! (That's right!)"

"How long is the 'prohibition' if you don't use it? Or is it a requirement to meet a certain number of times you have to endure it?"

"Meow……"

Blacktail twitched his beard and continued writing.

"Let me see... It has nothing to do with time or frequency, the key lies in the change of self-awareness... I see! We must 'consciously give up using it'!"

This is the condition for talent transfer that Kuroba Akira has always wanted to know.

The condition was actually quite simple: the original owner of the talent had to 'voluntarily relinquish' it.

It seems that the reason why the future's talents were not transferred to Granny Kobayashi before was because Akira Kuroba did not receive the future's 'declaration of abandonment'.

Wait, if you think about it carefully, this condition is extremely difficult to achieve, isn't it?

Kuroba Akira was able to become a talent scout because many people are unaware of their own talents, but if they knew their talents, would they still give them up?

How many people would be willing to voluntarily give up an easier path and choose another?

First of all, the class president's academic ability A is an inescapable karmic burden, since it's completely unrealistic to ask her to give up her studies. Similarly, Shirai Shiori's memory ability B is the same; she definitely can't help but remember the novel's content.

Ultimately, this karma that is so well-suited to them is actually a part of their personality and life. Asking them to give it up is like asking a chef to give up cooking—an impossible task.

So, Shion... now that she's a voice actress, she certainly won't give up her heavenly voice and soulful acting skills.

However, the talent of 'light body and flexible body S' seems to be the most likely to be selected, since Shion did not intend to become an athlete, dancer, or yoga instructor.

The only place I can use it now seems to be when I'm 'relaxing' with myself... It's become a talent exclusively for sluts.

If we help Ziyin remove this talent, maybe her explosive growth in apricot jade can also be eliminated?

Or perhaps, if their recovery ability isn't strong enough, they'll be willing but unable to fight back, and surrender earlier than you? Would that make them easier to deal with?

From a powerful force to a nobody!

However, it seems a bit excessive to take away one of Shion's talents just for this reason, and there is no one to take over this talent... at least not yet.

Kuroba Akira originally intended to transfer the talents that some people didn't want to those who needed them. If he had been patient enough to look for them, there would have been a few people who were 'unable to control themselves'.

Meanwhile, the increasingly skilled Heiwei continued to type in the relevant precautions.

"Oh? There's more? Hmm... The transfer of karma is no small matter, meow, because it changes 'both sides,' so if you don't 'balance' it, it will cause both sides to have personality breakdowns, meow... What! There are even aftereffects!"

"Meow meow meow meow. (That's it.)"

"Holy crap... this is outrageous..."

From this perspective, Kuroba Akira cannot simply be considered an intermediary transmission link.

It's not as simple as just transferring A's karma to B and calling it a day.

Because A lost the karma that originally belonged to him, while B gained karma that did not belong to him, this had a huge impact on their lives.

Therefore, in order to 'maintain balance', A needs to have something else to fill the gap in karma, otherwise he will become 'an empty and boring person'.

B must have enough 'will' to bear this karma, otherwise they will be swallowed up by the enormous karma and become a 'numb person who only knows how to work'.

Therefore, if Kuroba Akira is to completely transfer, he will have to take responsibility for 'both sides of life'.

Otherwise, both sides will break.

After reading Kuroo's explanation, Kuroba Akira finally understood all the information related to transferring karma.

"These are really troublesome conditions... It's just too much trouble to deal with the 'aftereffects'."

"Meow meow."

Kuroo nodded, presumably saying 'yes,' and then continued writing.

"So you don't have to do such troublesome things. As long as you share your past karma with a capable person, you can actually gain their faith, meow~"

After reading this passage, Kuroba Akira showed a knowing expression and said.

"I see. No wonder you didn't explain how to use Transfer to me, Kuroo. It's because I could figure out how to copy it myself, and even if I knew how to use Transfer, it wouldn't be of much use, since it's a thankless task, right?"

"Meow! (Yes!)"

"So, when I replicate talent, I am actually sharing karma with the other person, and karma is actually that person's 'subjective will,' from which you can extract faith..."

At this moment, Kuroba Akira suddenly realized a problem and asked with a drastic change in expression.

"Wait, could it be that my relationship with Ziyin and the class monitor is getting deeper and deeper because I've been using their talents so often?"

Akira Kuroba was afraid that it was because of him that Shion and the class president had become so twisted, which is why he asked that question.

"Meow meow meow. (No, wait, meow.)"
