Miss Aoki Still Hasn't Drawn a Ticket Back to Teyvat Today

For her thesis research, Aoki Saki ventured alone into an underwater ruin near the border between Sumeru and Fontaine.

She found plenty of useful material inside, but unfortunately ran into a kind of red-and-black insect that didn't seem native to Teyvat. The insects could reproduce on their own and explode, and she had no way to deal with the vast numbers that appeared after they multiplied.

Aoki Saki was gravely injured. Just as she began to lose consciousness, the ruin's chaotic space-time sent her to an unfamiliar world, and she was reduced to the age of eleven.

The evening wind and rain in this other world were cold, but luckily, a kind stranger came to her aid, and Aoki Saki survived.

A "System" that suddenly appeared in her mind told Aoki Saki that completing missions would earn her a ticket back to Teyvat.

Meanwhile, as payment for her work during the missions, the System's gacha pool and shop offered just about everything.

So, in order to return to Teyvat, Aoki Saki started diligently grinding missions.

But-

"Can these sudden missions stop showing up while I'm doing other missions?!"

"I can only earn pulls by doing missions? And I have to pay real money for things in the shop?"

"I have to pull for the medicine to restore Lyney and the others... Wait, I have to pull for the ticket back to Teyvat too??"

"The gacha doesn't even have a pity system?!"

"What a scam!"

After finally saving up for ten pulls, she got another ten-pull full of blue lights. Aoki Saki felt her heart breaking.

Chapter One takes place in the ruins of Teyvat. Chapter Two begins four years after she transmigrates to another world.

[Reading Notes]

*The System is a background golden finger.

*Lyney is the love interest. The two officially start dating after Saki and Lyney have both returned to their original forms.

*They have a mutual crush, but Saki spent four years with Lyney in his cat form and was so used to him that she didn't realize how she felt at first.

*Saki belongs to the "good" camp, but she's not completely good. She's entirely comfortable with Lyney working at the House of the Hearth.

*Before being restored, Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet are all in animal form.

*Includes original worldbuilding and character details.
