Ainz Ooal Gown Is Once Again Locked in a Battle of Wits with Thin Air

[CP: Double Bones: Bone King x Okkotsu]

Ainz Ooal Gown transmigrated once again, bringing his underground kingdom with him.

That day, the image of the skeletal ruler appeared in the skies over Yokohama, and every ability user felt an unprecedented pressure.

A sharp-eared demon in an orange suit hovered in midair, wearing the most humble smile as he spoke the most arrogant words.

"I am Demiurge, speaking on behalf of our supreme ruler, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. You have three days to

pledge your allegiance."

A mysterious newcomer appeared in the curse users' trade market.

His physical skills rivaled those of the Heavenly Restriction's former tyrant, while his vast cursed energy matched that of the strongest sorcerer.

This righteous mercenary, who called himself "Momo," accepted jobs but followed only his own rules.

Whether they were curse users hunted by everyone or powerful higher-ups in the jujutsu world, none of the targets he went after survived.

The jujutsu world was thrown into chaos.

Meanwhile, in an ordinary home, an ordinary black-haired boy woke up to an unfamiliar electronic voice in his ear.

"Hello, Host! Welcome to the [Dokidoki Dating Game]! I'm your guide, System No. 233..."

Suzuki Satoru: "A system?"

The System, finally realizing something was wrong, stammered: "Y-yabai! What is this dark power coming from this guy? It's terrifying!"

The System immediately backed down: "S-sorry, big shot! The Main God's program might have malfunctioned. I-I can apply to be unbound!"

Suzuki Satoru's mind raced. "I see. So the mastermind behind everything is this so-called Main God..."

He quickly piled buffs on himself, then cast multiple binding spells on his opponent. Suzuki Satoru looked at the System. "You want to leave?"

The System trembled. "Help..."

All of Yokohama was struggling to cope with the Bone King's declaration of rule.

Meanwhile, ordinary middle schooler Suzuki Satoru had an ordinary encounter with someone offering a friendly greeting.

Seeing the dark power stirring behind the person being greeted, Suzuki Satoru decided to protect his ordinary school life.

Surrounded by delinquents, Okkotsu suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice: "What are you doing? I'll call a teacher!"

His deskmate and neighbor came running like a ray of light and pulled him away.

[Okkotsu: Affection +10]

The System hesitated. "Um... Okkotsu isn't a romanceable character..."

*Bonus scene

Later, System 233 remembered to check the mission progress:

A certain pure-love warrior with the title [Partner] apologetically slammed a certain higher-up into the ground;

A certain Russian with the title [Savior] wearily submitted his resignation from the organization in the middle of the night;

Two first-generation Diamonds with the title [Capable Executives] discussed with numb expressions how to use ability users to capture cursed spirits more efficiently...

And in the former Mafia headquarters, now the new energy company of the Sorcerous Kingdom, the energy department's lab was packed full of cursed spirits. A toothless brain blob went, "Aba aba..." What happened?

The System, whose loyalty had already reached 100: "Well... As expected of Lord Ainz!"

Reader's note:

1. OOC warning. My personal biases are very strong.

2. Crack ship: Bone King x Okkotsu (Bone King is the top, so don't reverse them!)

3. Rika's curse won't be lifted. She'll become Bone King's daughter (?) and regain a human body, but will remain in the form of a little girl.

4. Bone King completely outclasses everyone in battle. The shockwaves from his battles with the air will kill everyone equally (except Yuta). The villains will take turns getting blamed, and the heroes will also suffer collateral damage, so please skip this if you can't bear to see the good guys get hurt too~

5. Everyone in the Great Tomb of Nazarick is a Bone King fan, and the effect of Demiurge-style overinterpretation will spread from person to person.

6. The protagonist has secret identities. As the Bone King, he's evil and chaotic, an unprecedented nightmare ruling over humanity; as Momo, he's neutral and righteous, humanity's last hope; as Suzuki Satoru... he's cuddling with Yuta, do not disturb.

A Guide to Raising Gojo Cat

On your way home after completing a job for Mori, you find a strange game console.

Curious, you turn it on. On the screen is a cute white-haired little boy wearing a dragonfly-patterned kimono.

As you watch him, he seems to notice you too, lifting his head and looking straight at you.

When you meet those blue eyes, purer than the sky, you are struck by love.

...A kitty! So cute!

You gradually become obsessed with raising him.

After diligently feeding him, you finally reach 10 affection points, and Gojo tells you he's been locked inside this house for ten years.

You're furious. "You can't lock up a kitty!"

To help Gojo escape from [Gojo House], you use your ability to enter the game world.

Definitely not because you want to cuddle up close with Gojo.

At last, you successfully raise Gojo and even send him to the high school of his dreams.

Watching Gojo happily play around on the screen, you feel a little lonely.

If only Gojo existed in real life too.

*

Although you occasionally do jobs for Mori, you consider yourself an ordinary anime and game nerd.

You rarely go out, and your neighbors think you're a weirdo.

But you're a good person, so when you see a game monster clinging to your neighbor's shoulder, you wave at the air in front of you, and the monster disappears.

You tell Mori about what happened.

Mori asks worriedly whether your ability has gone out of control.

You think he's tactfully saying that you're hallucinating.

On your way home, you see a man who looks remarkably like Gojo coming toward you.

As soon as he sees you, he takes your hand and interlaces your fingers, then comes right up close to cuddle you, with absolutely no sense of personal space.

"Caught you~"

But you can't feel anything from his hand.

Thinking you've lost track of reality again, you walk around him and keep going.

Ignored, Gojo grabs you by the scruff of your neck. "I came all the way to pick you up~"

"Aren't you going to wake up... Kong Yue?"

*

As Asakawa Kong Yue is grabbed by the scruff of fate, she suddenly remembers:

The real her is actually ■■■

And her ■■■ is called

"Inverted Fantasy"

"When reality and fantasy can be freely exchanged, how will you decide which side is real?"

Theme: Take every little detail of life seriously. Every effort you make will have its purpose.
