「What makes you think I WOULDN'T know?」

I asked these words, to Rimuru with a raised eyebrow.

「Great, I thought I was the only one...」

After widening my eyes a bit, I let out laughter.

「Pfft-! HAHAHAHAHA OH GOD! 」

「...What the hell's so funn-」

Between his/her words, Rimuru's eyes went wide like he/she just realized something.

「 W-W-W-WAIT!? WHAT ABOUT M-M-ME!?」

But to these words, I covered my mask-covered mouth with my hand and replied.

「PFFT-! WAI-!  I CAN'T- HHAHAHAHA」

「Oi this is serious! You know something about it right!?」

Rimuru got angry.

「No, nothing really, just found something in my head was quite funny PFFT-! 」

Once again I hold my breath.

「STOP LAUGHING AND ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!」

The next day,

「 Oi, admin! let me talk to you for a bit!」

Jiraiya knocked on our room's door.

「It's... 8 AM, WHAT DO YOU WANT!?」

Sleepy...

「No, it's 8 AM. which is exactly why you should be awake right now...」

These come from Rimuru behind my back.

Seeing the both of us come out from the same room made him look back and forth at us.

Well, that, or maybe it's because it was the first time they saw us without a mask?

「I need to talk to you...」

「Ah... right, right. Well, come in first.」

.
.
.

「Basically I need to give him a candidate.」

「Heeeh~」

Seems like Jiraiya took my advice.

Hiruzen somehow also agrees with it after a couple of talks with Jiraiya.

But he needs a candidate to pass up the hat, and no way in hell Jiraiya would accept it.

And so, he comes up to us.

「Well if you don't want it then just drag Tsunade here.」

「OI OI YOU THINK IT'S THAT EASY!?」

And it comes to this.

「Just take Naruto with you, and you'll be fine.」

I assured him by patting his shoulder.

Maa~ we had some more fun afterward in the village.

But before we get home...

「So will you give it to me?」(Yu)

「Sorry, I don't think I could」(Jiraiya)

「Aw man~」(Yu)

I was pestering Jiraiya to hand me a copy of the shadow clone's scroll.

Which was shot down directly.

「Maa~ if that's the case... I guess I have no choice.」

I muttered.

「「Huh?/hm?」」

POOF*

Another clone of me manifested itself beside me with dark violet smokes.

Rimuru's "Doppelganger" or "body double".

On top of my hand, is an orb glowing in purple.

「You're... copying my skills?」

「This is a part of Rimuru's nucleic heart, a 1/1000000 of it to be precise.」

How do I acquire such item?

Well, Rimuru is overpowered, but there's a small chance he would make mistakes sometimes.

Thus, I coincidentally meet a dead body double of Rimuru that has not been fed with enough Magicules to survive an attack from Konoha Anbu when they thought he's/she's on Oto and Suna's side.

Wait... Oto...

Hehe, any of you got the reference?

Are you cringing inwardly to my lame joke as I thought you would?

If so, then good job, me.

Anywho, moving on...

I do not possess the skill, but using this 1/500 part of the 『body double』 skill combined with the theory of Shadow clones is enough for me to try and recreate the technique.

I think.

Now all I need is to suck this core fragment and convert it into my own and...

DING*

≪『Enhanced Alter-ego (Incomplete)』 has been acquired≫

Whew.

≪『Thought Acceleration』 has leveled up!≫

Thought acceleration sure is useful...

I never heard of these skills.

The same thing happened with 『Universal Affinity』...

Now for the test...

「Talk.」

The moment I said that,

「Is this alright?」

Umu. Experiment successful.

「I'm guessing you made an alternative?」

Jiraiya stated these words.

「You could say it like that.」

Maa~ I get Rimuru to let me do this stuff after letting her/him borrow (Predate and duplicate) my switch and some other game consoles I brought to this world.

BZZT*

≪Group Quest: Konoha crush!≫

The next day...

「Well it has been fun...」 (Shin)

Well, we all can see that.

「I find it enjoyable at last.」(Rimuru)

Yeah, if it's not stopping at every stall to eat Japanese food you craved so much since they're out of your reach in your world, I don't think you would even say that.

「Even if it's just a "Quest" that bond us together, thank you all of you for helping.」 (Jiraiya)

Ah? You’re welcome for ruining the whole plot, I look forward to how your life would turn out, Jiraiya.

「Don't mention it! we'll help anytime, Jiraiya-san!」

Don't say that so easily, Shin.

After bidding farewell to the other canons that I don't feel like it's important at all, We got home.

≪You still have 2 hours left to stay in the quest world, would you like to return? Y/N≫

Yes.

[HEYAA~~! HOW'S YOUR TRIP!?]

This chat was typed by the enigma, Administrator Z "Robby-san".

I was greeted by this right after teleporting back to my apartment.

[Hey! I checked my grandma and grandpa earlier, They said it has only been a minute since I went out for a hunt! ]

This, of course, was Shin Walford.

[So it does stop the time of our worlds. Well, except Jiraiya-san's I suppose...]

Rimuru stated.

[That seemed about right.] (Jiraiya)

Before I could type anything...

OI OI OI! ARE GACHA TICKETS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN GIVE US!?

[WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THESE GACHA TICKETS!?] (Shin)

Seems like I'm not the only victim.

[Ah, no worries. That's normal Shin-ku]

These are the words of Administrator Y.

Which one of these is normal huh?

[To make sure you all use that LUC stat without abandoning them, this is the path we shall take! Don't worry, try to take a look at the new apps!]

Ah... that "Job system" thing...

≪Job System≫
Name: Ishigami Yu
Lv: 42
Job: Sage/Enlightened

Apparently, It's another type of "system".

I'm guessing my "Skill sharer" is only exclusive to me noting the message saying "Only Admin could share skills" on the bottom left corner.

Well, my "Race" is considered as a job in this alternate system, so it makes me kind of confused.

I am still human though?

DING*

≪『Job change』 is now available. Job change will be determined after a year. Would you like to activate Job change? Y/N≫

.
.
.

A year?

For what?

There's no test or anything?

I'm guessing any kind of actions I take from now on will affect my Job later or any of those kinds of development...

But then why a year?

sigh* No matter, for now...

Back to the school, we go...

Yaaay...
