I am a freeloader in the anime world

"Sa, let's blend into one!"

Tokisaki Kurumi folded her hands in an elegant posture, tightly grasping two flintlock rifles, one long and one short, ready to launch another attack at any time.

In her left eye, the clock was spinning wildly and rapidly, as if foreshadowing the imminent burst of a mysterious force.

The "Ke Ke Di" on the back also slowly lights up, emitting a deep and mysterious light. On the edge, the phantom-like outline and the gears on the huge clock complement each other, rotating together, depicting the trajectory of time.

There was a dark red smell in the air, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm, adding a strange and strong color to the tense atmosphere.

She exuded a powerful aura, as if she could devour all enemies and become the master of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Su Yang held Mo Qing's hand even harder. At the same time, the vibration of the space became more violent, as if the space would shatter in the next moment.

Deep in the wilderness, the tense atmosphere once again reached a critical point, as if even the air was tense, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Su Yang and Tokisaki Kurumi were so focused that they didn't even notice a curtain of light quietly emerging above their heads.

Then, a middle-aged man in white Confucian robes walked out from the light curtain. He stood in the air and looked down at the two people below.

In the heart of the wilderness, the tense atmosphere seemed to materialize, silently seeping into every inch of land.

In this silent world, the two confronting parties showed completely different expressions.

One of them had a solemn face, with a vigilant gleam in his eyes, as if he was ready to deal with sudden changes at any time; while the other had an eager face, with fanatical flames burning in his eyes, as if he was eagerly looking forward to some exciting moment.

This sharp contrast made the originally tense atmosphere even more exciting, as if a silent contest was quietly unfolding.

When Su Yang and Tokisaki Kurumi were ready to start the second round of fierce competition, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the sky.

The speed at which this ray of light descended was no less fast than the two people in the tense confrontation on the field.

Before they could react, the light had already landed on the wilderness like a meteor, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

Its appearance undoubtedly added a touch of mystery and unknown to this already tense and exciting confrontation, making the entire battlefield shrouded in a mysterious veil.

"Time Stop Field! Expand!"

An elegant middle-aged man's voice came from the light.

"what?"

"Eh? Manager!"

Upon hearing this voice, Su Yang and Tokisaki Kurumi reacted completely differently, one was surprised and puzzled, the other was extremely delighted.

As the elegant middle-aged man's voice sounded, a bright white light flashed quickly.

"Wait......"

Just as Tokisaki Kurumi's voice was echoing in the air, suddenly, a dazzling white light broke the silence, its brilliance was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. Tokisaki Kurumi instinctively raised her arms and covered herself in front of her. Her eyes - one red and one gold - also involuntarily closed tightly to resist the dazzling light.

When the white light disappeared, everything around seemed to be paused. On a tree not far away, a squirrel slipped and fell off the treetop. The squirrel, which was about to fall to the ground, stopped in mid-air.

As for Tokisaki Kurumi, she remained frozen in place with her hands raised to cover her eyes, unable to move.

"Manager, why are you here?"

Su Yang looked at the store manager who appeared next to him and asked.

"I felt the barrier of this world trembling, so I came to check the situation." The store manager said, then turned his head to look at Tokisaki Kurumi who was standing not far away and shielding her eyes with her hands raised. "And then I saw you fighting with Tokisaki Kurumi, and you seemed to be at a disadvantage, so I helped you."

"Thank you then." Upon hearing this, Su Yang thanked him decisively.

"You're welcome, but what's going on? Why are you fighting?" the manager continued to ask.

"Alas." Su Yang sighed deeply, "I was returning to Sobu High School from the Heian Hotel, and I ran into Tokisaki Kurumi."

"Are you being waited for?" asked the store manager.

"I don't know, maybe." Su Yang thought for a while and said to the store manager.

"You met me at Sobu High School?" The store manager thought for a moment, "What should we do? Your whereabouts have been exposed."

Su Yang didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Now, what do you want to do with her?" the manager asked Su Yang, and at the same time he turned his head to look at Tokisaki Kurumi.

"I don't know." Su Yang shook his head gently, then walked to Tokisaki Kurumi and watched her answer the manager's questions. "To be honest, she is also a pitiful person, but she just went to extremes."

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people. I'm sure you understand this truth," the store manager continued.

"Yeah, I understand." Su Yang nodded. "To be honest, I really can't bear it. After all, her goal has always been a pathetic one. I feel sorry for her."

"If you let her go, you will never have peace in the future." The manager walked up to Su Yang and said to him.

"At least, I can't kill her now." Su Yang said helplessly, "I see my past self in her."

"You in the past?" The store manager lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued, "I don't look like you, do I?"

"Her goal is to go back in time and destroy the original elves, fundamentally resolving the conflict between humans and elves. However, this wish is completely incapable of resolving the conflict. Humans are greedy, and greed is terrible."

Su Yang answered the store manager's words.

"And I once worked hard to learn medicine in order to cure my own illness. However, this was just deceiving myself. I have studied hard for more than ten years. I am not a genius that appears once in a thousand years. I am definitely not as good as those doctors who have been rooted in the medical field for decades. And such doctors can't cure me. How can I, who has only studied for more than ten years, cure myself?"

"Same self-deception?" the store manager concluded. "Looking at it this way, they are indeed quite similar."
