The world is always filled with malice.
Ryougi Yutsuki truly believed this right now.
If conditions allowed, she hoped this sentence could be recorded among famous quotes to warn future generations.
Can you imagine? Originally, she was happily taking advantage of her vacation to go to Comiket in Japan. Not only did she not get to properly enjoy the doujinshi and rchandise she managed to buy after camping out for days, but after kindly saving a brat and her figures from a car accident, she actually stepped on a banana peel, slipped, and her head landed right on a sharp rock.
Dying like that was already unlucky enough. Yet, she was scamd by a dense god calling himself the Figure Maker. In the end, she died because she "unfortunately perished while passing through a space and ti rift due to not having a protective barrier."
—What the hell!
However, it wasn't over yet! That self-important Figure God, putting on a show like a grateful crane returning a favor, not only turned her into a woman resembling Misaka Mikoto but also tossed her into a harem ani world she had never even watched. And then, she was chased around as a walking disaster all day long.
—I want to put a bullet in that retard's head!
However! However! However—this actually wasn't over yet!
Can you imagine?! In this nearly despairing situation, her only cheat suddenly turned into the Phone Microwave from a certain masterpiece, receiving a text ssage showing the future, and telling her:
"In the future, you will be taken into the harem of a harem protagonist. Although you will be a bit repulsed at first, it's actually quite enjoyable once you get used to it! (Laughs)"
Let solemnly clarify here. I—originally nad Guan ng, currently nad Ryougi Yutsuki, before being scamd by that Figure God a few days ago, was a completely normal guy with a dick (not a cute girl), aside from having a sowhat special family background.
Moreover, the thing I hate the most is harems.
Therefore—
"I'm not f***ing playing anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"
In so unknown country on Earth, Ryougi Yutsuki couldn't help but flip a table and roar at the sky.
"Phew..."
Slowly taking a deep breath, Yutsuki gradually cald down.
Yes, complaining about her misfortune wouldn't solve any problems; Yutsuki had known this very clearly since childhood. Even if she used Ratziel to hack into every live broadcast channel in the world to cry about her grievances, she couldn't return to her original world.
The problem was, what was she going to do next?
She had to admit, the intel sent by her future self, although the mory part was very hard for her to accept, the knowledge part was extrely useful to her.
The worldview of this world, the tiline of important events, the distribution of dangerous organizations, knowledge of Realizers and hacking techniques, the manipulation of Spirit power and the application of Angels, and even how to control spacequakes were all explained.
(It's practically a survival guide for another world.)
Looking at the Wizards retreating helplessly in the distance after being disard by her, Yutsuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
According to her original mories, at this ti she hadn't hacked into DEM's archives and hadn't mastered hacking techniques. The Wizards, noticing she was reluctant to kill, treated her as a soft target and attacked her recklessly, willing to trade their lives for hers.
But now, Hacker had beco a hot potato that no Wizard wanted to touch.
From this perspective, her future self had indeed given her a great gift.
(Itsuka Shido... huh?)
Recalling this na that appeared in her mories, Yutsuki's expression changed unpredictably, and finally, she let out a slow sigh.
"Forget it..."
When she first learned she would beco soone else's harem mber in the future, Yutsuki fell into unprecedented fury. If it weren't for the fact that she was in the neighboring world and couldn't act, Yutsuki would definitely have used any ans necessary to humanely destroy this scum nad Itsuka Shido, nipping the possibility in the bud before it even sprouted.
However, as ti passed, Yutsuki gradually cald down and regained her reason.
Her current self and Itsuka Shido had neither debts of gratitude nor grudges; they were just completely unrelated strangers. So what if Itsuka Shido really was the type of harem scum Ryougi Yutsuki hated the most? There are so many playboy scumbags in the world, is she supposed to act as the FFF Inquisition and enact heavenly punishnt on every single one of them?
Sorry, Yutsuki wasn't that free.
And putting herself in his shoes: imagine suddenly soone pops up wanting to kill you when you haven't done anything, and their motive is that your future self NTR'd my future wife who isn't even my girlfriend yet.
...That person must be sick in the head.
Yutsuki considered herself a normal person.
Ultimately, killing soone for such an inexplicable reason was neurotic to begin with. With a little careful thought, one would realize there are more normal ways to solve the problem.
Just avoid contact with Itsuka Shido. As the saying goes, "You walk your road, I'll cross my bridge." Without crossing paths, naturally, that nonsensical future would be impossible.
After figuring this out, Yutsuki's mood improved considerably.
As for the mories her future self sent her, since they were bound together with that knowledge... After thinking for a long ti, Yutsuki made a decision.
Not to accept them, but not to discard them either. rely treating them objectively as a piece of intel to be set aside.
...
And just like that, half a year passed.
Unlike her past self from the previous world, Yutsuki spent almost this entire half year in human society.
Because she received data from the future, Ratziel completed a version update ahead of ti that was supposed to happen a year later. Although its appearance didn't change, it actually gained many new functions.
Future Prediction and Future Glimpse, as well as the power to freely control spacequakes.
Honestly, Yutsuki wasn't very interested in the first two new skills, but the last one was undoubtedly a massive pleasant surprise.
Controlling spacequakes ant she no longer had to worry about being hunted by those annoying Wizards, and her previously uncontrollable disappearances and manifestations could now be executed at will.
Thanks to this, the things Yutsuki could do also increased.
Using her hacking skills to forge an identity, whenever Yutsuki had free ti, she would hide her "Spirit" identity and blend into human society.
As for money, although for Yutsuki, hacking a bank to forge an account or stealing from an ATM could instantly yield massive amounts of wealth, ill-gotten gains always felt weirdly empty to use. So Yutsuki chose to anonymously do bug testing or programming work for so companies online—which could be considered normal jobs.
"Hah..."
Lying on her stomach on the soft bed in the hotel, Yutsuki rolled over, looked up at the flickering wave-pattern lamp on the ceiling, and sighed helplessly.
"So boring..."
Yutsuki herself didn't understand why she would say this.
Playing, studying, surfing the internet. Aside from a different gender, Yutsuki's life was basically no different from her previous life.
The current her, unlike the her in her mories, didn't need to worry about being hunted by Wizards, and could freely enter and leave human society.
Even without Itsuka Shido's seal, as long as she wanted to, Yutsuki could completely hide her identity, settle down, find a normal job, and live the life of an ordinary person.
But—
(If only it could really be that simple...)
A hint of bitterness appeared on Yutsuki's face.
Half a year had passed. Although she had indeed lived a quite peaceful and comfortable life, Yutsuki surprisingly discovered that she hadn't established any interpersonal relationships in human society.
Otaku are bad at socializing—if that were really the case, Yutsuki might even be a little happy. But in reality, Yutsuki herself was unconsciously avoiding interacting too much with others.
She is a Spirit. In half a year, this realization not only didn't fade but beca even clearer in Yutsuki's heart.
Ultimately, no matter how cleverly she hid in human society. The fact that she was a Spirit would still remain unchanged.
Clearly living in an incredibly ordinary world, yet the gun hidden in her embrace constantly reminded Yutsuki: you are not a person of this world.
Of course, Yutsuki wasn't so in it as to be anxious all day over this. She simply wanted companions of her own kind—she just wanted one or two friends she could confide in.
People are just like this. When they have everything they currently need, they will quickly return to craving what they don't have. Forever unsatisfied, greedy creatures.
