"Inviting yourselves in? How rude! Especially since my authority has been stripped away. To think someone could still barge in like this... Who could you two possibly be? Such a mystery!"
B.B showed no alarm at the sudden appearance of two "roommates" in her comfortable cell. Instead, she retrieved two bottles of marble soda from the refrigerator and handed them over.
"You two rushed over here so urgently. You must be quite worked up. How about cooling down a bit?"
If Jiang You were here, he would immediately recognize the two women behind B.B as the mother and daughter, the He family, who ran his favorite restaurant.
"What a nasty AI."
The landlady saw through B.B's true nature at a glance.
"That's not quite right! I used to be an AI, but I'm not anymore. The anomaly has transformed this place into a real world. Sure, there are still some glitches, but overall, it's been anchored down. B.B here is now a 1000% genuine Magical Girl JK! ☆(ゝω)☆" The laws of reality had been rewritten, and even the Mooncell, which had constructed this world, could no longer interfere.
As an aside, after the world's transformation, B.B even found stories about herself online. Far from being frightened, she was ecstatic. So, under the guise of "B.B," she began broadcasting her existence across the internet through livestreams and other means. Yet no one noticed anything amiss until a certain comment appeared:
"But shouldn't the school doctor be an adult, regardless?"
Xiao He—who no longer needed to maintain her disguise, of course—Alaya retorted sarcastically before gulping down several swigs of orange-flavored ramune.
The sight left Gaia momentarily stunned, completely forgetting to scold B.B.
"What are you doing?"
"Obviously, I'm drinking soda. This stuff tastes terrible, yet it's so popular. Sometimes I just can't understand humans."
Alaya wiped her lips and tossed the bottle aside. As the collective consciousness of humanity, she couldn't comprehend human preferences, and this only deepened her confusion.
"What I mean is, you're acting too human. Did this role-playing get you too invested?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
Alaya shrugged, her expression indifferent. "Even he maintains a human facade. It's clear that humanity is the dominant force in this universe. You should probably accept reality."
"Are you planning to betray us?"
Gaia stared at her companion, though their allegiances had never been truly aligned.
"You're the one becoming more human, aren't you?" Alaya countered, studying Gaia's expression. The planetary consciousness shouldn't possess human emotions.
"It's not betrayal. I never agreed to this reckless behavior. Someone needs to teach him a lesson."
"How scary—" B.B feigned shrinking back in mock terror. "First the Old Man of the Jewels, now a planetary consciousness! Am I some kind of final boss? Am I going to die here today, like Xiao Xiangyu?!"
"..."
Gaia could tell that B.B wasn't even remotely afraid, feigning indifference to their true identities.
"If you two—as the planet's will and humanity's collective consciousness—could act freely, why would you bother coming here in person? After all, this is a world constructed by the Mooncell, and with that one involved, you probably can't wield your full Authority at will, can you?"
The Mooncell itself was completely sealed off, unable to function as intended. As outsiders, Gaia and Alaya were even more constrained. If they could act freely, hundreds of Servants would already be besieging B.B's door.
"In other words, you can't touch me! Your power here is even weaker than the Old Man of the Jewels'!"
B.B suddenly understood why the Old Man of the Jewels had looked so grim when he arrived. His own abilities must have been severely weakened in this world; otherwise, he wouldn't have settled for merely imprisoning her.
"B.B-chan wins a big ☆victory☆!"
Just as B.B was celebrating, Gaia suddenly seized her head, the force of her grip nearly lifting B.B off her feet.
"Our Authority may be greatly restricted, but in exchange, we've gained real physical bodies. As such, we now possess all the capabilities of humans."
Gaia revealed a small, cruel smile. "So, physical attacks are still viable."
"The planet's will throwing punches at an AI? What kind of dream is this?"
As the fist loomed larger in her vision, B.B's eyes finally betrayed a flicker of terror.
By the time Jiang You logged in, Sella had already packed his luggage. He planned to fully immerse himself in advancing the Prisma Illya storyline, aiming to deal with Julian, that sleazy homosexual, in the Parallel World as quickly as possible.
I wonder what he was thinking when he imprisoned Shirou Emiya over there, Jiang You mused. In the original story, Miyu stayed in Illya's world for quite a while. Did Julian do anything strange to Shirou during that time?
"Since you're all ready, let's get going."
Jiang You brought along his two maids and dragged Illya along too. Elementary school material was far too easy for this Illya, and she couldn't blend in with her peers (despite their similar appearances). After consulting her wishes, Jiang You had already arranged for her to skip grades and enroll directly in high school. Her true age aligned with high school level anyway.
"I object! Illya is still in school! Skipping class without permission will turn her into a bad girl!"
By the way, Minamoto no Raikou was completely unaware of this. When it came to matters of the heart, she was truly a heavyweight.
"A Magus can hardly be considered a 'good child,' can they?"
Jiang You didn't even know where to begin criticizing. He'd finally figured it out: Raikou had kept Illya in elementary school just to indulge her own twisted preferences. "Besides, Illya doesn't need to be in elementary school anymore! Next month, she'll be a high school student! Can you please stop playing your childish games?!"
"Wh-what?! The principal just agreed like that? But I'm the registered guardian!"
Raikou's face contorted in horror, a stark contrast to her usual calm demeanor even when facing the brink of death.
"This is Fuyuki, the most chaotic place in the world."
Since becoming Duel City, Fuyuki had even established Duel classes in its schools. Common sense had completely vanished here. And of course, there was another factor at play.
"Moreover, I donated an entire building to the school in the name of the Einzbern family. Naturally, all the paperwork sailed through with flying colors."
Watching Jiang You flash the Money gesture, Raikou felt a crushing sense of defeat. Her weapons materialized amidst the Violet Flash. "Such a thing... Mommy will not allow it!!!"
"oh, you're approaching me?"
Jiang You approached Minamoto no Raikou with an odd posture, then drew his Deck.
"Don't forget this is Fuyuki! Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?!"
