Mygo, are you all yanderes?

No, she was joking! She hasn't even met the 'Ultimate Realm - Emperor of Martial Arts' yet! How could she come back like this!

At least let her see it once, know what it looks like, and then send it back to her!

"...Uh..." Five

Goto Ichiri sat weakly on the floor, crossed her legs, and tugged at the fabric of her clothes on her arm in distress.

What a waste! I dressed up so nicely, but all I got was being eyed by two people who were obviously high-class social butterflies. I feel really bad for the cake my parents bought for me. I hope they won't be startled by their daughter suddenly coming downstairs... Hmm?

Goto Ichiri pinched the fabric between his index and middle fingers and rubbed it with a grim expression.

This feel... isn't something right? Why does it feel so cheap? Could it be...?

She looked down and, just as she had guessed, the expensive and beautiful clothes she was wearing had disappeared, replaced by her most frequently worn white shirt, which served as pajamas.

"..."

Where are her clothes? The ones that would make someone like her look completely new, the ones she'd secretly wear to herself whenever she had a spare moment? The ones she'd decided to wear to RIG? The ones she'd want to wear on the 'Guitar Hero' show?

This is something that can't be ignored with a laugh, is it?! Not only has the teleportation disappeared, but even the clothes have vanished?! Could it really be haunted?!

Goto Ichiri swallowed hard, his face turning somewhat pale.

Don't be like that, how could there be ghosts in this world? It must be your own imagination. Actually, everything that just happened was a dream, all of it was her imagination... Yes, she was dreaming. None of what just happened happened. The school bully, the green-clad evil girl, and the handsome older sister were all just her own dreams.

Oh dear, I really am like that. My mom has always reminded me not to let my imagination run wild, and sure enough, it's led me to have such bizarre dreams. I really need to get more sunlight and try to change my habit of overthinking. Hahaha…

"...Why are you here?"

A somewhat frustrated voice suddenly appeared in Goto Ichiri's ear, who was grinning foolishly. Then she felt a thin chin appear from behind her, resting on her shoulder and gently breathing into her ear. Troublesome strands of hair casually brushed against her ear, causing a ticklish sensation.

“Ehhhhhh!!!”

Startled by the sudden appearance of this person, Goto Ichiri screamed and ran forward without turning her head. Halfway there, she tripped over something soft under her feet and fell on top of her.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Goto Ichiri supported the limp thing, letting out a soft moan of pain.

"I should be the one in pain, you fell on top of me..."

The soft, squishy object below also let out a frustrated sound, its voice almost identical to that of the figure behind it.

"Ah, no...!"

When Goto Ichiri saw the 'object' beneath him, his pupils contracted sharply, and his instinctive apology was cut off by fear before he could finish speaking.

"Okay, don't be afraid."

The figure behind him spoke, crouching as it emerged from the shadows. The light from the laptop illuminated the two people's faces, revealing their features in full to Goto Ichiri.

Although her hair was uncombed, it was still smooth and long pink hair. Although her clothes were loose, they still couldn't hide her stunning figure. Although she wore no makeup, her beauty was still exquisite. Although she was still a little blurry, she looked very familiar.

Two identical-looking 'Goto Ichiri' appeared before the real Goto Ichiri.

"As for the third person, I'll call you Goto Shiri from now on..."

The figure lying on the ground glanced listlessly at Goto Ichiri, who was unable to speak at the moment, and lazily turned over.

"Hello, I am Goto Sanri, and the one lying on the ground is Goto Ichiri. As for why there is no Goto Niri, it's because someone else took her name beforehand, so we can only proceed in this order..."

The guy who called himself Goto Sanri waved to the real Goto Ichiri and forced a smile. Although he looked more energetic than the one lying on the ground, he was still very dejected and seemed about to collapse.

"You... you..."

Goto Ichiri pointed at the two of them with trembling fingers, stammering for a long time without being able to say a word. All that could be seen was that her face was getting paler and paler.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. I know you're scared. I was scared when I first came here too."

Goto Sanri patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder and gave him a kind smile.

"Are you... are you fake humans?...! If you're going to eat me, please wait a moment, okay? At least let me say goodbye to my parents, Erli Jimiheng, and the 'Emperor'..."

Finally able to make a sound, Goto Ichiri looked at the two people in front of him with a sob in his voice and tears welling up in his eyes.

Author's Note: Why are there two characters in Pochi-chan's story? I planted a little foreshadowing earlier, I wonder if anyone still remembers (laughs).

I was supposed to write more than just these two today, but I got distracted by the game around 3 PM, ate lunch at 5 PM, and chatted in the group chat for a long time around 7 PM. I didn't actually start writing until 8:30 PM. I'm so sorry.

Volume 1: Chapter 166. Let's see what's behind you (2k)

"..."

"..."

"Fake person, that's a term I haven't heard in ages. I really miss it..."

"As expected of us, our ideas are still so strange..."

The air fell silent after Goto Ichiri's words. After two seconds of silence, Goto Ichiri got up from the ground, moved closer to Goto Sanri, and whispered to each other with their heads close together, occasionally glancing at Goto Ichiri with a strange look.

"..."

4. What's going on? Why does it feel like there's a small group of three people, but one of them is suddenly being talked about badly by the other two people in front of her? And that person is her.

No, this kind of guess is actually the better one. The real situation now is that the whispers between the two are most likely not bad things, but rather they are considering whether to braise or fry her.

"Um……"

Just as Goto Ichiri was kneeling there trembling, waiting for her day of judgment, 'Goto Sanri' suddenly grabbed his chin, brought his face close to hers, frowned, circled her several times, and finally even sniffed her scent.

"I...I...I didn't shower yesterday, and the food wasn't good. Please, please let me off the hook, waaaaah...!"

That's a lie. Goto Ichiri took two showers this morning because she was so excited that she smells like shampoo all over.

"Have you discovered anything?"

Ignoring Goto Ichiri's almost tearful expression, 'Goto Ichiri' lazily lay back down on the floor, casually tapping the laptop screen with her finger. As her finger flew across the screen, a folder that seemed to contain many photos appeared, but what photos were actually stored there was no one's knowledge.

"……Nothing at all."

"I'll just say it."

Goto Ichiri leaned close to the computer screen, chuckling to himself as he casually waved his hand.

"Anyway, just like you and me, we're all newcomers who have failed before..."

"No, they are not quite the same as us."

Goto Sanri pinched Goto Ichiri's soft cheek, turned to look at Goto Ichiri, and said in a serious tone.

"She just said something about a pseudo-human, an 'emperor' and such, and these words don't match your timeline or mine at all. It's like everything is just beginning."

"So it failed from the start, huh? Another person has joined us. I wonder if this little space will even be able to hold them all. Ugh, so annoying. But it's nice to have another person to chat with... Oh, when did this kind of collection become available? This is the first time I've ever seen it. Is this from your memory? You really do remember things much better than I do..."

Goto Ichiri stared intently at the computer screen, a smile playing on her lips—a smile that was quite different from her previous listless demeanor; it now appeared somewhat excited.

"..."

Seeing that Goto Ichiri was completely engrossed in the electronic device in his hand, Goto Sanri was silent for a moment, then looked at Goto Ichiri and asked.

"Ai】Ling Private Shirt】{铻6◇;Search＾♂q group,^: I have a few questions for you..."

"Yes, yes, yes! As long as you don't eat me, I'll answer anything!"

Goto Ichiri almost shouted as she answered, as if afraid that her slow reaction would cause the 'fake person' in front of her to change his mind and disappear.

No matter what the other party wants to do, just agree first. Can it be worse than death?

"I don't eat people... Never mind, it's pointless to say it."

Holding his forehead, Goto Sanri sighed softly.

Who doesn't know themselves? She knows very well that she's the kind of person who can't listen to anyone when she gets nervous. Explaining anything to her is like talking to a brick wall, a complete waste of breath.

"Then listen carefully, you, now."

Goto Sanri cleared his throat and asked solemnly.

"Yes, I'm listening!"

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously, so much so that it looked as if he were about to bang his forehead on the ground.

Do you know him?

"……who?"

Goto Ichiri blinked and asked cautiously.

"what."

"..."

Goto Ichiri burst into tears.

She felt like she was going to die. This was her last chance to survive, but she had wasted it.

Why is she so useless? She's always eavesdropping on other people's conversations, so why can't she hear anything today?

Is it really because I always wear headphones that my hearing is damaged? Damn it, I should never have listened to metal music.

If you were to say to this fake person again, "Excuse me, I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please say it again?", you would definitely be eaten alive, without even touching the chili powder.

Dear Mom and Dad, Erli Jimiheng, Grandpa and Grandma, the chuunibyou I never met, the popular guy I never met, the teacher who ate with me when I was little... Everyone, I'm sorry, I have to go first.

You all must take good care of yourselves and not run into a fake like I did.

"...Let me ask you one more question, are you currently in a band?"

Goto Sanri frowned even more, and seeing Goto Ichiri's expression as if he was about to ascend to heaven, she asked another question.

"No... how could a shady reptile like me be fit for something as sophisticated as forming a band..."

"So, you haven't even been there yet?"

"...I'm sorry, I can't hear you..."

"..."

Goto Sanri bit her thumb knuckle. Seeing Goto Ichiri's strange behavior, she fell into thought, her brows furrowing slightly with concentration.

Can't hear you? Not in a band? What could be the reason? Even she hasn't encountered this situation before, unless she's never met either a band or Kusano Akira... Ah.

Thinking of a possibility of 7, 'Goto Sanri' decided to change to a more subtle 9, one that wouldn't be censored. ~｜

"How old are you?"

"16 years old……"

"You're 16... So, how far have things progressed between you and... your best online friend?"

"...Can you just eat me? Please don't hurt the people around me..."

"...If you don't tell me, I'll take your place and then lure him out to eat."

"...Waaah."

"Say it!"

"I... I'll tell you. We haven't even met yet. I was planning to find him today, but I was captured before I could do anything..."

Goto Ichiri hugged his knees, his voice filled with grievance.

"...Hehe, is that so? We've never met before, I understand everything now..."

Goto Sanri hummed thoughtfully twice, then gently patted Goto Ichiri's shoulder.

"Look behind you."

Volume 1: Chapter 167 (2k)

"...? Behind me, oh, the door is open."

Goto Ichiri turned around and found that the cabinet door, which had been tightly closed, had become slightly loose, and a faint light was seeping in from the outside.

But for some reason, the light made her feel uneasy.

"Um, excuse me, does this mean I have to keep this swollen zhQ:＝∝ˇ【殹∈柳〃「鳩∨〈零∈◇≡ˇ8 actions to be eaten…………Huh?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Goto Ichiri felt a powerful force pushing her towards the door from behind, accompanied by what sounded like a happy voice from 'Goto Sanri'.

"You're too early! It's your turn!"

Goto Ichiri was shoved against the door by Goto Sanri, whose weight, combined with Goto Sanri's strength, knocked down the simple shoji door.

Contrary to Goto Ichiri's expectations, she did not fall to the floor as she had imagined, but instead experienced a sudden feeling of weightlessness that she had never felt before.

She looked around in a panic. The surroundings were not the bedroom she should be familiar with, but a space that was only white. The only thing that was different from the white was the closet where she had just been standing, but the closet was also getting farther and farther away as she fell.
