Transmigration and Reverse Transmigration: Has Little Ma Jiu Turned Back into an Owl Today?

How many steps does it take to raise an owl?

Ningning: 1. Get a big, adorable dog.

2. Let the dog go out to play.

3. The dog will bring back an owl.

So, how many steps does it take to raise an owl in the Taisho era?

Ningning: 1. Build your house next door to the owl's house.

2. Cut a door in the wall between the two homes. That's all!

Ningning never imagined that the weak little sparrow her golden retriever had brought home, looking like it was about to die, would turn out to be a person.

So while she and her grandfather raised it, she followed the common sense advice she found online.

On the very first day Kyojuro Rengoku arrived at her house in the form of a little sparrow, he was served a feast of earthworms washed clean with water.

Big Bro, making a face of pure anguish: "Umm, thank you, but please don't feed me this again. I really don't eat these."

The little sparrow gradually grew, its feathers becoming thick and lush. Ningning was also afraid of earthworms, those invertebrates, so she changed the little sparrow's diet to millet and grass seeds.

Big Bro, now happily settled in Ningning's home without a care in the world: "Umm, millet and grass seeds are much tastier than earthworms."

At last, he could shout, "Delicious!" again.

Then one day, after being told that her everyday rural-life anime was actually connected to both a mythology anime and an isekai anime, Ningning began to feel that her life was getting more and more extraordinary.

But as the old saying goes, listen to people and you'll have a full belly.

So when she really did transmigrate one day, she brought all her worldly possessions and figured it wasn't such a big deal.

But why did you, little sparrow, come along too?

Isn't the old man's food good enough, or is the golden retriever no longer your favorite companion?

Following someone like her, who doesn't even know what her own future holds, isn't going to get you anywhere.

It wasn't until she transmigrated to the Taisho era, after a midnight "crash landing," getting stranded alone in the forest, encountering man-eating demons, and being badly injured and taken to the Butterfly Mansion, that she opened her eyes to see the bright, sunny owl smiling at her, alive and well. Only then did she realize that she did have a future, a bright one at that. She'd even solved the problem her grandfather had always worried about: her not having a boyfriend...

Ningning: This is great!

1. Third-person narration.

2. Lots of feeding and daily-life scenes.

3. Pairing: Big Bro.

Coming soon:

Nekoma Manager, but With a Broad Skill Set

My name is Momotani Kanon. I transmigrated into a two-dimensional world, but it took me years to figure out where I'd landed.

When I finally realized, I regretted missing my chance to make friends (cling to the main characters) with the protagonists of the two-dimensional world. So when a little fox from the government office came looking for me, I decided to work with it.

Kids don't have bad intentions, right?

Since I'd missed out on meeting the protagonists, I figured I'd become a Saniwa and enjoy raising little sword spirits. I kept at it until I retired.

I've now returned to the real world and started high school.

If there's one thing that's not quite right, it's probably that there's a bit too much volleyball around me.

My cousin, who goes to school in Miyagi Prefecture, plays volleyball. The guy behind me in class plays volleyball. Later, the guy behind me recruited me to be manager of their boys' volleyball club, and then I met more and more people who play volleyball...

But just because I can summon sword warriors, don't treat me like a shrine maiden!

I can't catch spirits or kill demons, and I'm not all-powerful.

So please don't tag me whenever something weird happens. Thanks.

Theme: Stay positive, and live with determination.
