Playing house in the anime world

"..."

"Ouch... it hurts so much... my head hurts so much..."

Gojo Aiko's eyes widened. Why are there two people?

"Playing House" is an ability that helps her summon dead souls from another world to play the role of her "family", but she hasn't figured out the other details yet. She only knows that she can't summon souls from her own world, only from another world.

But she thought, no matter what, when starting a "playing house" game, she should only be able to summon one "family member", right?

Maybe Gojo Aiko's shocked expression was too obvious. The red-haired one of the two people who were summoned squatted down and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Aiko Gojo shook her head blankly. She felt a little confused and forgot all the self-introduction she had prepared in her mind in an instant.

And she had thought that after she summoned a "family member", she would give him another room to live in, but now there are two people...

What if there is not enough room?

Gojo Aiko subconsciously glanced at the room. Although the room was quite large, it would definitely not be convenient for two people to live together...

"Please introduce yourself first. Although... I already know your name and situation. My name is Oda Sakunosuke."

The man who claimed to be Oda Sakunosuke looked like a somewhat weathered middle-aged man, with rusty red-brown hair, gray-blue eyes, and an unshaved stubble on his chin.

"My name is Kenji Hagiwara!" Another man with smooth semi-long black hair quickly followed suit, but he kept covering his forehead and looked uncomfortable.

"Ah... are you okay?" Aiko Gojo looked at Kenji Hagiwara hesitantly. Could it be that her "playing house" has any side effects?

“No, no, no!” Hagiwara Kenji quickly shook his head. Although he seemed to feel even more dizzy after shaking his head, “I just felt a little dizzy because my brain was stuffed with so much information for a moment…”

Aiko Gojo looked at him a little puzzled. What did it mean that "so much information was stuffed into my head in an instant"?

"Let me explain." Oda Sakunosuke looked left and right. He originally wanted to let Hagiwara Kenji sit down first, but he found that there was no sofa, not even a long chair, and the floor looked a bit dirty, so he could only stand first.

"We are all from another world... and are no longer here. You should know that, right?" Oda Sakunosuke chose a gentler word, just in case if Gojo Aiko didn't know, he could explain it away.

After all, Gojo Aiko is still just a child, and death is too far away for her, so it’s better not to let her know.

"I know!" But unfortunately, Gojo Aiko already knew what kind of person her "playing house" would summon.

"I see..." Oda Sakunosuke looked at Gojo Aiko who was looking at him curiously with her eyes wide open, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.

What a clear-minded child.

Gojo Aiko didn't understand and hesitated for a moment. Then she stood on tiptoe and rubbed Oda Sakunosuke's hand, imitating the reaction of stray cats when they were touched on the head.

Good, so cute!

Although he was still dizzy, Kenji Hagiwara did not miss this loving scene.

He controlled his restless hands, then sat down on the ground, holding the box behind him.

His memory still stayed at the moment before his death. The flames of the explosion and the guilt and regret of the last moment seemed to have happened just in the last second. He was just an ordinary person, and facing death made him tremble and fear a little.

Now that his mental state has slowly recovered, he actually feels a little weak in the legs.

Gojo Aiko and Oda Sakunosuke looked at him with some concern, but there was nothing they could do at the moment so they could only continue with the previous topic.

"I...we should have sensed or received your prayer after we died? Then we responded to your wish and came here."

Oda Sakunosuke also felt it was magical. After death, he actually felt nothing. He did not appear in the hell or heaven in the mythology. Instead, his consciousness fell into a state where he could not feel anything, but his consciousness did still exist.

He certainly couldn't feel the passage of time, and then suddenly, he heard a girl's voice hoping that someone could be her family.

For some reason, he agreed in his heart, although at that time he was just thinking, "I don't have any family either. Although I don't know what happened, I wonder if I can become her family?"

Then he came in front of Gojo Aiko.

The moment he appeared in front of Gojo Aiko, a lot of information about Gojo Aiko and this world appeared in his brain.

It includes a general situation of Gojo Aiko and her ability "Playing House", as well as basic information about this world and even the world of sorcery.

However, this information is relatively superficial. Oda Sakunosuke speculated that this was because the ability of "playing house" was only based on the information known by its owner, Gojo Aiko, and then the information known by Gojo Aiko was stuffed into their brains.

Naturally, they also had no way of knowing the information that Gojo Aiko didn't know, such as the operating model of the sorcery world and the techniques of Master Gojo Satoru.

but……

The most magical thing that Oda Sakunosuke and Hagiwara Kenji felt was that the moment they landed, they became real people in this world.

They have complete identity and family information, which means that they are like the native inhabitants of this world and are not illegal residents.

This is incredible. Although the family members listed in their identity information have died for various reasons, they know that this is because they are not from this world at all, so it is naturally impossible for them to have real parents and siblings.

And their identity information... I don't know how the "playing house" made it up, but it actually subtly matches their life experiences in their original world.

Oda Sakunosuke explained to Gojo Aiko that "playing house" stuffed a lot of information into their brains in an instant. He himself might have adapted quickly because he was a psychic, but Hagiwara Kenji obviously couldn't bear it.

"A person with superpowers?" Aiko Gojo asked in doubt, and secretly wondered in her heart if her "playing house" could be a "superpower"?

Like the "super powers" in comics and games?

Then Oda Sakunosuke began to explain what superpowers are, and also introduced what the world he lives in is like.

As Hagiwara Kenji's expression became more and more magical, Gojo Aiko roughly understood the world of Oda Sakunosuke, and silently named it "The World of Superpowers" in her heart.

"By the way, my ability is called 'Perfect Fit', and its function is..."

As Aiko Gojo listened, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Aiko Gojo loves reading and often goes to the library on her days off and stays there for the whole day.

So at a young age, she had already read all the world's famous books, including those from Japan.

She originally thought that Oda Sakunosuke's name might just be a coincidence to be the same as a certain literary giant in history, but why did it feel like...

"You know...uh, have you heard of 'No Longer Human'?" Gojo Aiko asked tentatively.

When talking about the literary giant Oda Sakunosuke, it is easy to think of the rogue faction, and then Sakaguchi Ango and Dazai Osamu, who are also members of the rogue faction.

Dazai Osamu's "No Longer Human" is very famous, so she chose to test it in this roundabout way.

Oda Sakunosuke's expression changed immediately. Could it be that there are people with special abilities, Yokohama, and the Port Mafia in this world?

"How did you know this?" Oda Sakunosuke asked nervously, fearing that Gojo Aiko actually had some connection with the port mafia.

After all, his own personal experience told him to stay away from Hong Kong gangs and cherish life!

Aiko Gojo and Kenji Hagiwara both showed the same puzzled expressions, because they could see that Oda Sakunosuke seemed very nervous and anxious.

But isn't it "No Longer Human"? Hagiwara Kenji scratched his head. Most students should have read it, right? After all, it is a masterpiece by a great writer in their own country.

Although it seems a little too early for Aiko Gojo to read such healing literature at such a young age, there is no need to be too nervous, right?

"I read it in the library." Gojo Aiko answered the question obediently. It was a pity that she didn't have the book on hand, otherwise she could just take it out and show it to Oda Sakunosuke.

library?

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned. Why could he read "No Longer Human" in the library?

Seeing his confused expression, Aiko Gojo thought for a moment, then simply searched for "No Longer Human" on her phone and handed the phone to him.

Oda Sakunosuke held the phone in a daze, then looked at "Novelist", "Rogue", and his own and Ango's names and introductions and fell into deep thought.

Looking at Oda Sakunosuke whose expression was even more confused, Gojo Aiko looked at the other adult, Hagiwara Kenji, in confusion. She shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?

"Ahem! It must be because I suddenly discovered that I have the same name as a great writer in history, so..." Kenji Hagiwara didn't know what was going on, because he and Oda Sakunosuke were not from the same world.

He could only guess that Oda Sakunosuke probably didn't know that there was a literary giant with the same name as him in history, but he reacted so strongly to "No Longer Human"... Could it be that there was someone around him named "Dazai Osamu"?

Considering that the name of his own superpower is "Perfect", maybe the person named Dazai Osamu also has a superpower and its name is "No Longer Human"?

Wait! In that case... it feels a bit like a game or comic book was recreated based on a historical literary giant...

After all, Japanese cartoonists still like to use various people or things in reality as prototypes to create their works.

After searching the names of most of the psychics he knew and discovering that most of them were "literary masters" in the history of this world, Oda Sakunosuke finally came to his senses.

The other world is really magical.
