R.I.P., Kamijou Touma X﹏X
In a way, Kamijou is an unlucky guy.
As a child, he was chased by gamblers with knives and mistaken for an urban legend. A flowerpot once fell on his head as he walked down the street, and a car driving past him swerved straight into him after a tire blew out.
So when he heard a strange voice announce that he had to follow orders and win over various people,
Kamijou’s first reaction was actually:
How lucky.
System: ????
.
World One.
System: You’re the useless only son of a declining jujutsu family. You’ve transferred from Kyoto Jujutsu High to Tokyo Jujutsu High, and your three new classmates all dislike you. You need to win over the Six-Eyed Prodigy and the squinty-eyed fox, and make them consider you a close friend.
Kamijou, inseparable from the two genius jujutsu sorcerers: Is that how it works?
System: ...
World Two.
System: You’re the son of a former executive of the Port Mafia. The current boss is wary of you, and the other executives hate and shun you. You need to make two executives valued by the boss, as well as the genius detective across the street at the Armed Detective Agency, admire you and open their hearts to you.
Kamijou, sitting in Lupin Bar drinking with the Decay of the Angel gang: Am I doing okay?
System: …
World Three.
System: You’re the top graduate of the police academy. Your superiors plan to send you undercover into the Black Organization. You need to get the two other Public Security agents undercover there, as well as the cold-blooded silver-haired killer Gin, to trust and protect you.
Kamijou, who’s already at the point of sharing a room with Gin: Did I mess this up?
The System finally loses patience: Could you try to have some self-awareness?! These are all SSS-rank missions, SSS-rank missions that no one has ever completed!!
Kamijou, looking innocent: These missions are way too easy.
They don’t even require me to defeat a god who’s destroyed the world hundreds of millions of times, or stop a great demon bent on destroying the world. How are they not easy?
System: …
Buddy, what kind of life do you usually lead?
After countless hardships, the luckless Kamijou finally completes his missions, eagerly waiting for the System to send him back to his original world.
Unexpectedly, the System pauses for two seconds, then begins counting down:
Worlds will merge in three seconds.
Three, two, one.
◆ Reader’s Guide
◇ A Kamijou fan’s unhinged work, with a everyone-loves-him vibe
◇ Kamijou’s looks are based on the A Certain Magical Index light novels. Before criticizing his appearance, please look at the light novel illustrations and this story’s cover.
◇ The cover is from Lofter user @thetoilet, used with permission.
◇ I can’t write Kamijou’s charisma even a fraction as well as the original author. If you’re interested in Kamijou, go read the twenty-million-character light novel series (doge) (That’s actually true. The original light novels really are that long.)
Theme: Misfortune and good fortune.
