Volume 1

Chapter 1: Toyokawa Sakiko Descends Beside Me!

Huaguo, Haicheng, 9:45 AM.

Riki opened his laptop and started watching the latest new anime. Although new anime had been constantly appearing for the past two years, his favorite was still Mygo on his desk. It was truly a golden-age family ethics drama for the anime world. Not just Riki, but most of the silly netizens were also ardent fans of this anime.

And his favorite character was naturally the villain, the fallen noble lady, Toyokawa Sakiko. To Riki, this kind of awkward noble lady was like a drug that he was completely addicted to.

"My heart has been stolen by Mygo, and I may never feel joy or sorrow again in this life," Riki sighed. Just as he was about to open a new anime, he heard the sound of something shattering in the living room.

Did a thief break in?

Riki was startled. He grabbed the Tōyako he bought at the anime convention from the bedside and quietly opened his room door. Then, he was stunned.

A cute and beautiful girl with long blue hair, wearing a small skirt, stood in the living room in a fluster. A glass cup had fallen to the floor. The moment she turned and saw Riki, she covered her mouth in fright.

"Holy crap—" Riki was shocked.

The blue-haired beautiful girl was stunned for a moment. I was inexplicably brought to this place, and before I could even be scared, the kidnapper is the one who's shocked?

"Teacher Da Xiang!?"

Toyokawa Sakiko froze for a moment. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she clearly felt the strong malice in the name. She crossed her arms, retreated to the corner of the room, and stared at Riki vigilantly. "Who are you? Why did you tie me up here? Let me go immediately, or I'll call the police! I have very important things to do!"

"Going to be customer service?" Riki asked subconsciously.

Toyokawa Sakiko's delicate face immediately turned red.

It was a mix of embarrassment and anger.

Does this person think I'm a stalker? Otherwise, how would he know what I was doing?

Riki knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Customer Service Xiao Xiang, no... Sakiko-chan, please sit down first. I'm also a bit confused here. I'll open the door, and you can leave anytime you want."

Seeing Riki open the door and create some distance between them, Toyokawa Sakiko felt relieved. It seemed the other party wasn't a kidnapper, otherwise, he wouldn't have opened the door so easily. Moreover, she felt that he was even more shocked than she was.

Could this be a misunderstanding?

But why did I suddenly appear in this unfamiliar place?

It's okay. The weak me from the past is gone. I won't be confused or lost anymore.

Toyokawa Sakiko's beautiful amber eyes opened with determination.

"You are Toyokawa Sakiko, right?" Riki asked.

"Indeed," Toyokawa Sakiko replied with a dignified tone. "May I ask what this place is?"

"I hope you won't be scared, but this is another world, different from the one you are in."

So that's how it is. Another world.

Toyokawa Sakiko nodded, stood up, and walked to the window, looking down at the bustling traffic and the endless stream of cars, as well as the Chinese character signs everywhere.

"...Huh?" Toyokawa Sakiko was dumbfounded.

The weak her seemed to have come back to life.

Ten minutes later, Toyokawa Sakiko finally calmed down and said, "You say this is another world. What evidence do you have?"

Riki thought for a moment, then brought his laptop to the living room and opened the classic Kasugakage video on Bilibili to play.

"Is this... Akari?" Toyokawa Sakiko relaxed slightly upon seeing a familiar face on the video. The video title was "Kasugakage - Mygo!!!!! Version."

Mygo?

Toyokawa Sakiko was confused. Then she saw a large number of bullet comments scrolling across the screen, such as "Kasugakage, activate!", "Heartbreaking melody," "Who is playing my long river chant," "Sweating buckets, Sose-chan," "Wishing you happiness (crying) (crying)"...

What does this mean?

Toyokawa Sakiko soon saw Takamatsu Akari, who had once formed Crychic with her, along with Nagasaki Sose, Shiina Riki, and two unfamiliar girls playing Kasugakage on the screen.

The moment the prelude began, Toyokawa Sakiko felt a pang in her heart. Especially seeing the five of them, not as Crychic, playing Kasugakage made her fingers tremble. Soon after, she saw herself standing in the audience.

The Sakiko in the video was crying as she left Ring's performance hall, tears falling, and stumbled away from Ring.

Toyokawa Sakiko tightly gripped her skirt with both hands and watched the video expressionlessly.

She was silent for three minutes. Riki asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

He cursed himself inwardly. I should have chosen a less direct video.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Toyokawa Sakiko released her palms and said to Riki, "I believe what you said now. In your eyes, Akari and I are like characters from anime, right?"

"That's right, but perhaps my world is also the creation of some twisted individual," Riki said.

Toyokawa Sakiko knew he was comforting her. Her expression softened for a moment and she said, "I'm sorry for suspecting you were a kidnapper earlier."

"It's okay, it's okay. What I'm curious about is how you ended up in this world?" Riki asked curiously, posing the most crucial question, "Can you go back?"

Toyokawa Sakiko recalled for a moment, "I was just leaving Haneoka Middle School after class and was about to go to my part-time job... um, as a customer service representative, when my vision flashed and I found myself in this living room."

"Time and place?"

"I remember it was 3:45 PM, and the location was the entrance of Haneoka Middle School," Toyokawa Sakiko replied.

As expected of a young lady, her memory is excellent and she's very calm... Riki marveled.

"Thinking about it, the good news is you might be able to go back at 3:45 PM tomorrow, and only the time matches. As for the location..." Riki sat down on the sofa and opened Google Maps on his computer, zooming in on Japan.

Toyokawa Sakiko also leaned in to look. Their locations were quite close. Riki could smell the faint scent of osmanthus from her. He used to think that beautiful girls smelling nice was just a lie spread by virgins online.

It really is fragrant.

"I remember Haneoka's setting is in..."

"Tokyo!" Toyokawa Sakiko quickly said, watching Riki zoom in on Tokyo.

"Toshima Ward..."

The voice abruptly stopped.

Riki and Toyokawa Sakiko looked at the empty "undeveloped land" on the map and fell silent.

"It seems Haneoka Middle School doesn't exist in our world," Riki said. That makes sense, he thought, otherwise, that school would have been swarmed by people on pilgrimage long ago.

"I'm sorry, it looks like we can only try again tomorrow," Riki said, looking cautiously at Toyokawa Sakiko.

Toyokawa Sakiko sighed, turned to Riki, and smiled, "Please don't apologize. This has nothing to do with you. I should be thanking you for helping me understand the situation."

She stood up and said, "However, you've already helped me so much, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to stay any longer. I'll go out and find a place to wait and see if I can go back tomorrow."

Riki nodded. Given Toyokawa Sakiko's pride, she wouldn't easily accept help from others, especially acts of pity.

"May I ask your name?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked Riki, her beautiful face turned towards him.

"Riki, my surname is Lu and my given name is Yi. This is how you write it..." Riki wrote the characters on a piece of paper for Toyokawa Sakiko to see.

"I see. I understand, Riki. If we ever meet again, I will definitely thank you," Toyokawa Sakiko smiled. "In any case, I'll go back to Japan first and figure out what happens next then."

So carefree, you can't tell she's a former young lady who's never even seen a vending machine.

"Okay, goodbye." Riki also smiled and nodded, watching Toyokawa Sakiko leave and close the door. A slight sense of loss appeared in his heart. After all, being able to see his favorite character in person was an experience perhaps only he had, let alone spending time in the same room.

This meeting, might be a final farewell.

God, I wish we could meet again.

"I'll just treat it as a dream. I'm still moved even after waking up..." Riki shook his head, dispelling the feeling of loss, and began working on his freshman music composition assignment.

Half an hour later, a heavy rain poured outside, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

Riki heard the doorbell and opened the door to see Toyokawa Sakiko, dripping wet and blushing, standing outside.

God, you answered my prayer too quickly?

"I hope I get rich!"

Chapter 2 Nagasaki Sose Frowned

"What are you talking about?" Toyokawa Sakiko asked curiously.

"Ah, nothing, nothing. Come in quickly," Riki said hastily. Toyokawa Sakiko was soaked, water dripping from her skirt onto the floor. He felt cold just looking at her. It was spring, but not yet warm, and it was easy to catch a cold.

Toyokawa Sakiko walked into the room, trying to lift her skirt to avoid wetting the floor. "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't expect it to start raining so heavily shortly after I left. Besides, you're the only one here who speaks Japanese, so I had to come back here."

"Japanese?" Riki blinked.

Although he had watched many anime, he couldn't even recognize all the hiragana characters. He only knew words like "Naru-tō," "Sasuke," and "Baka yarō." He certainly couldn't speak Japanese like the Imperial Army.

Just as Riki was about to ask, he saw Toyokawa Sakiko shivering with cold, hugging her arms, her body still wet. He quickly said, "Why don't you take a bath first? There's hot water in the bathroom."

"Thank you!" Toyokawa Sakiko's lips were pale from the cold. Without further ado, she quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door, starting to undress with a "rustling" sound, which made Riki in the living room have some fantasies.

Riki, Riki, how can you be so depraved in front of your favorite character? Bah!

Riki shook his head in self-reproach.

Just as he was about to act like a gentleman and retreat to his bedroom, he heard Toyokawa Sakiko's soft voice from the bathroom: "Um... excuse me, how do I turn on the hot water?"

Riki quickly walked to the bathroom door and said, "Turn the knob towards the red side. Be careful not to turn it too much; the hot water here is very scalding."

"It's so hot... Ah, thank you."

Riki thought it should be fine now. Just then, he heard Toyokawa Sakiko's small voice again: "Excuse me, is there a bath towel?"

"Yes, it's in the cabinet by the sink," Riki said. As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered. That bath towel was one he bought online, printed with Toyokawa Sakiko wearing a very revealing swimsuit.

"You..." Toyokawa Sakiko was also stunned for a moment, then after a pause, she said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Riki replied instinctively.

Wait, what are we being polite about?

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Riki stood at the bathroom door, unsure whether he should leave. Ten minutes later, the sound of water from the bathroom gradually faded. He suddenly remembered Toyokawa Sakiko had no spare clothes. He walked into the bedroom and took out a few of his plain-colored shirts—of course, a man's closet was full of identical, replicated clothes.

"Here," Riki said, handing them through the slightly open bathroom door. In a blink, he saw Toyokawa Sakiko's fair, rounded shoulders and quickly recited Buddhist scriptures.

I'm a Confucian scholar, I have no thoughts about these things. I love Confucianism the most.

Pah!

What am I even saying!

The bathroom door opened, and Toyokawa Sakiko walked out wearing a white shirt. Her legs were long and slender, her face was flushed and smooth from the steam, and she carried the scent of body wash.

Boyfriend shirt, yes!

Riki's expression remained unchanged. He turned on the room's heater and said, "Sit down and rest for a bit. What did you mean just now when you said I was speaking Japanese?"

Toyokawa Sakiko sat on the sofa. Riki thought, As expected of a former young lady, she immediately spotted my most expensive furniture.

"When I left my place, I heard everyone speaking Chinese. I originally planned to use gestures and the change in my phone to stay at a hotel for a night, but I didn't expect the money in my phone to be unusable..." Toyokawa Sakiko explained.

"It seems the databases of our two worlds aren't compatible," Riki said. He wasn't even sure if Sakiko's world had C++.

"Then why did you say I was speaking Japanese?"
