Did Lady Knight Kill Any Cursed Monsters Today?

[Ultraman + Jujutsu Kaisen, a dream-come-true epic for Ultraman’s 60th anniversary] [Serious tone, slow burn] [Original female lead] She only went to a convention, and ended up thrown into another world again. As a real Kamen Rider and a fake Ultraman host, Thea thought she could hold her own. But she never expected to end up in the Ultraman universe, where she nearly got crushed to death by a corncob from the start. The good news: It’s the world of Ultraman Tiga. The bad news: Daigo hasn’t become light yet. The good news: The kind-hearted Ultraman Cosmos is here. The bad news: So is the rebellious Agul. The good news: Red Kaiju Ultraman Orb is on this Earth. The bad news: So is his ever-present, crooked-mouthed best friend. Bringing together all these Ultraman worlds was already going to make this place a nightmare. But who could have imagined there’d be curses too? What?? Curses can turn into monsters?! TPC sends Gojo Satoru a job offer. He accepts and becomes a captain. Teacher Geto turns down the offer and chooses to eat the cursed spirit balls from monsters and go solo. You can just imagine it: Jugglus Juggler pulls out a card. Zetton, Pandon, Zeppandon. Geto Suguru pulls out a cursed spirit ball. Come forth, my monster! This world really is way too unhinged, Thea thinks expressionlessly. What does she have to do to stop the three Dark Ultramen inside her from causing trouble? Love, justice, and hope? Forget it. She might as well marry a Warrior of Light and let someone else either reform them or cremate them. That plan is absolutely perfect. With so many Ultramen and human hosts, which one should she marry? Thea doesn’t know. She says she can’t bring herself to hurt any Ultraman. Then they’ll all just have to be her best friends. She thinks Jugglus Juggler is quite the looker, can’t help being drawn to Geto Suguru, and even that prematurely mature pink-haired brat is a real flirt. The Ultramen and their human hosts: Wait, Thea! Didn’t you say you were going to choose one of us?!! Content warnings: 1. Original female lead, who is a human host. Third-person narration, somewhat ensemble-focused, and serious in tone. Trust me!! 2. The male lead hasn’t been decided. Most relationships are platonic. Sorry, I just can’t bear to make an Ultraman sad. 3. A mash-up of multiple Ultraman settings, crossing over with Jujutsu Kaisen. All technology and magic are treated as science fiction. Canon takes a beating, and takes a lot of it. 4. Updates follow the rankings when there’s a ranking list. Otherwise, updates happen whenever. 5. The author has the typing speed and internet connection of an old person. If the jokes don’t land, blame me, not the female lead. Next up: the Naruto otome game A Love Story in the Countryside [Otome game, all routes lead to the female lead. She goes from weak to strong. Not a fourth-wall-breaking, invincible type who can dominate everything from the start, since she’s the sort of player who just taps whatever is glowing in a game.] The otome game A Love Story in the Countryside is such a large-scale dating sim, but its title is so uncool that almost nobody has paid it any attention a week after its release. The game company approaches Hanjiang Jizhi and asks her to give it a try, promising to add all their games to her library for free if she completes it. Hanjiang Jizhi is tempted, even though she’s never played a dating sim before. But free eggs! Who wouldn’t want them? Hanjiang Jizhi quickly downloads the game and logs in. The game is supposed to be immersive and offer a high degree of freedom. It says only a handful of choices are mandatory, and since almost nobody has played it, she dives straight in without looking up a guide. [Chapter One] [You are the childhood bride of two brothers from the Uchiha clan. Once you come of age, either the older brother or the younger brother will marry you. You needn’t worry about having to marry them both at once, though, because neither of them actually wants to marry you.] [Since the older brother refuses to marry, the younger brother ends up marrying you so the clan can have an heir.] [You log in to the game on your wedding night.] Hanjiang Jizhi: What???? Isn’t this supposed to be a dating sim? How am I already married before I’ve even started romancing anyone? Hold on!! [Please make a choice now.] [A. Agree eagerly] [B. Agree after putting up a token resistance] [C. Stall for time] Hanjiang Jizhi decisively chooses C, and spends a wonderful life with her bargain-bin husband, full of shameless intimacy (and scheming). During a war, her bargain-bin husband is stabbed by the enemy and dies of his wounds. Thrilled to be free, Hanjiang Jizhi becomes much more cheerful as she enjoys life as a widow. Until one day, the older brother asks her to marry him: [Is there anything wrong with an older brother taking care of his younger brother’s wife?] Her husband’s sworn enemy proposes to her too: [I killed your husband. I can be your new husband.] [Please make a choice now.] [A. Accept the older brother] [B. Accept the sworn enemy] Hanjiang Jizhi: ? Did you leave an option out!! Tempted by the prospect of learning ninjutsu and growing stronger, Hanjiang Jizhi chooses the older brother. But for some reason, the older brother abandons his wife and leaves the village, only to be killed by the First Hokage. Hanjiang Jizhi, widowed once more: Damn! Is this some kind of widow simulator?! [Chapter Two] [You are an orphan found by the Second Hokage, who brings you back to the village. The moment he first sees your face, he freezes for several seconds. The reason is simple: You look exactly like your face from Chapter One.] [You’re injured during a mission. The Second Hokage visits you in the hospital room in the middle of the night. When he reaches out to touch your face, you wake up.] [Please make a choice now.] [A. Tell him you’re her.] [B. Deny it to your dying breath.] Hanjiang Jizhi decisively chooses B. She hides her identity and becomes her own replacement. She is taken on as Senju Tobirama’s student, and from then on she gets to do whatever she likes in the village. Her only headache is that Senju Tobirama keeps trying to find her a partner, making her choose one of his students to marry. [Please make a choice now.] [A. Sarutobi Hiruzen] [B. Shimura Danzo] [C. Mitokado Homura] Hanjiang Jizhi: ??? Do I have to choose one of them? Why isn’t Uchiha Kagami on the list?? Senju Tobirama, you really do hate the Uchiha!!!! She chooses C. He doesn’t like her either, so they agree to pretend they’re dating for a while. And then: [Shimura Danzo glares at you gloomily.] +1 [Shimura Danzo glares at you gloomily.] +2 [An unknown brat glares at you gloomily.] +1 [An unknown brat glares at you gloomily.] +2 [An unnamed Second Hokage glares at you gloomily.] +1 [A widower glares at you gloomily.] +1 Hanjiang Jizhi, whose scalp is tingling from all the staring: Are there a few too many gloomy men in your village? [Chapter Four] [You wake up in an underground laboratory, naked. Through the glass, you look at the snake-like man outside, and he looks back at you.] [You strip the man’s clothes off and put them on yourself.] [You are a clone made from the cells of your second playthrough self. Shimura Danzo comes here and takes you away.] [Please make a choice now.] [A. Tell him you’re her.] [B. Deny it to your dying breath.] Hanjiang Jizhi chooses B. Shimura Danzo takes her away, and to avoid getting hounded by a creep, she exhausts herself pretending to be an idiot. Just as she’s about to use her newly acquired Wood Release to blow up his house, Sarutobi Hiruzen appears and rescues her. Hanjiang is moved to tears at finally being able to stop acting like a fool. She’s rubbing her hands together, ready to work toward becoming an elite ninja, when Orochimaru, the man whose clothes she stripped off earlier, suddenly comes to confess: [You are my greatest creation. Every part of you belongs to me.] Seeing Hanjiang Jizhi about to reject him, he brings out his trump card: [Be with me. I can help you develop your Wood Release and make you stronger.] Hanjiang Jizhi: I’m sold!!! Say yes to him!!! Chapter Three won’t be revealed yet. It’ll be released when the novel launches. The rest is still tentative, but there should be about nine or ten chapters. There’ll also be bonus stories for every choice the female lead didn’t make. Note: The female lead can’t see the endings of the routes she doesn’t choose. Theme: Love can change everything.
