{Transitioning to Zuke}
[Honorable Zuke, please select the task world to enter: 1. "Dragon Ball" (time not adjusted); 2. "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" (main task generating); 3. "TYPE-MOON" (main task generating)].
[Honorable Zuke, your special task world is: 1. "Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Stories Chronicles" (refresh times available today: 1)]
[Honorable Zuke,your remaining play times for today is 2]
"...Isn't the main task generation for the TYPE-MOON world taking a bit too long, much longer than for the JOJO world?"
Looking at the task world selection interface before him, Zuke couldn't help but frown and complain.
Although he knew that generating main tasks might not be completed in just a few days, the speed for the TYPE-MOON world was indeed much slower than for the JOJO world.
Could it be because the time difference between the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars is too long?
No, Zuke remembered that he didn't drain all the mana from the Greater Grail, so the time difference should still be about ten years.
The time difference between JOJO's Part 3 and Part 5 is more than ten years, but the generation speed is still much faster than for TYPE-MOON, so this speed should not be related to the plot time difference.
Or is it that the next main task for the TYPE-MOON world is really not the Fifth Holy Grail War, but has jumped to another place, even to a parallel world?
If that's the case, then it's reasonable for the generation time to be longer... but there are just too many parallel world works in the TYPE-MOON world.
He really didn't want the final main task to be about the magical girl Illya.
...
When Zuke entered the task world again, the location was, of course, near the home of Ki-sikil and Lil-la.
After leaving Ki-sikil and Lil-la's house yesterday, Zuke chose to exit the task world in a nearby alley, so when he logged back in, the location was the same.
Then, as agreed yesterday, Zuke went to Ki-sikil and Lil-la's home to meet up with Lyna.
"Oh? Here he comes."
After knocking on the door, it was Lyna who opened it—it seemed she had already been waiting for him at Ki-sikil and Lil-la's house.
However, what surprised Zuke was that Lyna's face was obviously disguised. Although it was still a very pretty face, it was different from when they met yesterday.
If yesterday's Lyna looked like a youthful and beautiful girl, today's Lyna looked like a more mature older sister, with a completely different aura.
Moreover, the details of her facial features had been adjusted compared to yesterday. If someone who had seen her today went to the police station for a sketch, the resulting portrait would be vastly different from Lyna's real appearance.
No wonder she was an information dealer who thrived in the black market. The setting said she had "over a hundred confirmed faces," and now it seemed true.
"Where are Ki-sikil and Lil-la?"
Zuke walked into the house and nonchalantly put on the purple slippers placed at the entrance, causing Lyna's eyelids to twitch.
Even though he knew yesterday that these purple slippers were hers, he still put them on so casually, as if it didn't matter at all.
At least she was a beautiful girl; didn't this man know anything about restraint?
"They went out to scout, saying they wanted to pull off another big heist as revenge against the police."
Lyna followed Zuke into the living room barefoot—she hadn't put on slippers because she was in the middle of changing her disguise, and now Zuke had taken them first.
If this happened a few more times, those purple slippers that were originally hers would become Zuke's exclusive property.
But Lyna, being a black market information dealer, was quite skilled at controlling her expressions—although she was speechless at Zuke's shameless behavior, she still managed to keep her composure and said:
"What about you? Aren't you going to prepare at all? Not even a disguise? At least wear a mask, or you'll be constantly harassed by the Security Force Police."
The Security Force Police's pursuit capabilities were very strong. With their high-tech equipment, cross-dimensional enforcement was a trivial matter, and they even had some of the Time Thief's technology.
Among them, the "Aperture Measurer" in the Security Force Police seemed to have connections with the Time Thief, as he possessed a device that could track Time Thieves and even follow them across time.
It was clear how serious the consequences would be if the Security Force Police identified your appearance.
"No need, I won't be wanted by the Security Force Police."
Zuke shook his head. He intended to actively engage with the Security Force Police. Once he demonstrated sufficient strength, the Security Force Police would have to think twice about whether they had the capability to pursue him.
"...Whatever, it's none of my business. If it weren't for the fact that Ki-sikil and Lil-la might be upset if something happened to you, I wouldn't bother with you."
Seeing Zuke's indifferent attitude, Lyna pursed her lips and decided not to remind him further.
However, before heading out, Lyna tossed a mask to Zuke—it looked like the cat ears on Lyna's head and seemed to cover half of his face.
It seemed that even though she said it wasn't her concern, she still chose to offer Zuke some help—though Zuke really didn't need it.
...
Lyna's transaction location this time was in a warehouse at the docks.
Although they had been very discreet beforehand, the Security Force Police had still managed to pinpoint the location using special methods.
Sayomaru, a member of the Security Force Police, was already waiting there. As a ninja, her stealth abilities were quite strong.
Although the giant mechanical shuriken on her back made her seem anything but stealthy.
"Today, I must catch that 'Transporter!"
Sayomaru was very serious today. She was hiding under a nearby overpass, ready to drop down and crash through the warehouse roof at any moment.
The other members of the Security Force Police had all achieved some results with their respective targets, but she still had nothing to show for her efforts.
Today, no matter what, she had to catch that guy, or at least figure out his real appearance!
Having made up her mind, Sayomaru soon noticed two figures appearing at the warehouse entrance.
The previous traders had already entered the warehouse, and the two newcomers were, of course, Sayomaru's targets—the "Transporter," the ever-changing Lyna.
But soon, Sayomaru sensed something was off—why were there two people?
The "Transporter" usually acted alone, and Sayomaru was sure of this, as she had tried to catch her multiple times.
But today was the first time she had seen the "Transporter" bring someone else to the transaction site, and that man... Sayomaru felt he looked familiar.
Using the special lenses of the Security Force Police, Sayomaru could clearly see every detail of Zuke's face even from a distance.
She took off the lenses and rummaged through her loose sleeves, soon pulling out an electronic screen. After pressing a few buttons, a portrait popped up:
"That's right, that man is the one who was said to be hanging out with the Evil Twin Thieves yesterday! Does he also have connections with the 'Transporter'?"
Sayomaru was startled. Watching Zuke and Lyna enter the warehouse, she quickly put away the electronic screen and prepared to take action.
Coincidentally, the investigation of that man had also been assigned to Sayomaru by the Security Force Police. Today, she would solve both issues at once!
