Konoha Village, Hokage Office.
Uchiha Ran suddenly appeared with the transformed Mitarashi Anko.
The Art of Flying Thunder God is truly a convenient and attention-grabbing space Ninjutsu.
Almost immediately upon their arrival, Anko became the center of attention.
Except for Uchiha Ran and Jiraiya, everyone's focus shifted to the lottery wheel.
One: LoveLive! World, Rin Hoshizora
Two: Mayoi Neko Overrun! World, Nozomi Kiriya
Three: Oreimo World, Ruri Gokou
Four: Touhou Project World, Rin Kaenbyou
Five: Cat Planet Cuties, Eris
Six: Omamori Himari World, Himari Noihara
Seven: Nekopara World, Chocola
Eight: Nekopara World, Vanilla
Nine: Nekopara World, Coconut
Ten: Nekopara World, Azuki
[Gold List Tip: Those who get the reward can take the initiative to remove one to five options and increase the chance of winning other options. Ten options, corresponding to ten different pets, come from different worlds… or the same world.]
Compared to the primary lottery, the intermediate lottery expanded the options from five to ten, but winners could also eliminate some options.
Judging by his analysis, Uchiha Ran surmised that under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the intermediate-level lottery should also increase.
For example, when Haku received the inheritance of Tōshirō Hitsugaya in the lottery, he could only get Zanpakutō Hyōrinmaru Shikai. However, if placed in the intermediate level, maybe the Daiguren Hyōrinmaru could be drawn.
However, he did not witness this improvement in Jiraiya's draw.
Not only that, he seriously doubted if this lottery was downgraded.
If worlds were classified according to their level, the worlds these pets came from would not even compare to the Ninja world. So, was this truly an intermediate world?
However, Jiraiya's words before the lottery made him wonder.
"So, is this a problem with the Gold List, or is it a problem with Jiraiya?"
The Golden List should be akin to the Ten Thousand Worlds Heavenly Dao, possessing its own set of fair operating rules, and likely devoid of issues.
Conclusion... is it Jiraiya's problem?
Uchiha Ran began contemplating how to make Jiraiya reconsider.
The world of catgirls is too intricate, senior brother; you can't control it.
"But Eris is a catgirl, what about Rin Hoshizora, Nozomi Kiriya, and Ruri Gokou?
Uchiha Ran clicked his tongue privately, thinking that there might be something amiss with the Golden List.
It made sense for catgirl pets to be included.
Ru Himari Noihara, despite being a cat princess, is a descendant of the cat demon clan loyal to Amakawa Family, and her master is a formidable swordsman.
But Rin Hoshizora, Nozomi Kiriya, and Ruri Gokou were very ordinary people.
Rin is just a cheerful, lively, energetic high school girl who initially wanted to join the track and field club. After helping Koizumi Kayo join the idol group Muse, she was invited to join and became a newcomer idol.
This catgirl only dressed up once; does it count?
Does the legendary single bet qualify as a bet?
The second Nozomi Kiriya is also a high school student and a pastry chef. She has a calm personality, has never seen much of the world, and is naturally unassuming. While she is always expressionless, she is an all-around teenage girl, excelling in studies, sports, piano performance, and more.
Nozomi Kiriya's specialty is mimicking a cat. She soothes the feline by gently caressing its head. With a hairstyle resembling cat ears, she possesses the attributes of a "cat girl."
Does this count?
The third character, Ruri Gokou, also known as "Black Cat" online, is a Japanese-style beauty with long, black hair and fair skin. Typically adorned in Gothic Lolita attire, she exudes a somber personality and an air of unapproachability. A master of sarcasm, she is a radio personality with a penchant for middle-school syndrome.
Ruri Gokou occasionally transforms into a catgirl. Does this qualify?
The remaining seven are genuine catgirls, but I won't delve into their details.
"What's all this about?"
Jiraiya pondered the spinning wheel for a considerable time without discerning anything, frustratingly scratching his head.
LoveLive! world, Mayoi Neko Overrun! world, Oreimo world, Touhou Project world, Cat Planet Cuties, Omamori Himari world, Nekopara World.
Doesn't it feel like none of these names are serious?
Is this the world's nomenclature?
At first glance, it seems entirely nonsensical.
What about pets?
Are they referring to typical dogs and cats?
Then, what in the world is this "Oreimo World"?
Worlds like "Shinigami," "Dragon Ball," "One Piece," "Demon Slayer" — they all sound cool, powerful, and explosive. Why is Jiraiya stuck in these inexplicable worlds?
Jiraiya developed a certain unease after experiencing the High School DxD World during the lottery previously.
"Huh? Jiraiya, your luck is truly terrible."
"What kind of worlds are these?"
Jiraiya's voice redirected everyone's attention from Anko to the spinning wheel.
Shortly after, their expressions became peculiar, and Tsunade was quick to blame Jiraiya, convinced that the odd choices on the wheel were his doing.
Why is it that whenever it's Jiraiya's turn to draw lots, the wheel's content takes on its peculiar style?
"Fifth Hokage, do you recognize all these worlds?"
Jiraiya sought help from Uchiha Ran.
In response, he began to envy.
The flawless woman, Ikaros, stood docilely by Uchiha Ran's side, akin to a daughter-in-law leading a proper life.
So cool!
He once walked into a pitfall before, and it was tough to deal with.
If this lottery jar could eliminate five unfavorable choices, there would be a higher likelihood of receiving worthwhile rewards!
