*Pooouuurrr*
"Fuuh…"
After spending hours at the computer, the young man has to take a break and step away from his room. He sits down in the snack corner where vending machines line the walls, and a coffee machine is ready to serve the tenants of the internet cafe.
It's getting late, huh? I should go to sleep and resume my activities tomorrow. I couldn't afford to get sick here.
The young man tries to figure out who he needs to interrogate regarding the Umamusume: Pretty Derby game. Before reincarnating, the young man believes artists created these designs after the art director gave them some hints to follow, but the designs are a complete copy-and-paste of how they are on the other side, which can't be a coincidence.
Amongst the many sources the young man read, rarely does any of them give out a name. There are forums on the internet that specifically say that a person by the name of Akihiro Ishihara worked on the project. But he quit Cygames before the game launched.
His involvement most likely helped develop the idol side of the game, as that's how the game was before it was launched. My target is whoever turned the wheel of the project into what it is today.
Akihiro Ishihara most likely designed the game that way from his days working on Idolmaster. If he truly was my target, he would design the game the way it is now and not what it was before, since he knows how the other side's world works.
*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*
This is assuming that my target did come from that world. It'll be entirely fuck if they somehow get their idea through the Angel Gabriel or something like that.
"Fuuuh…"
Right! That's it for tonight. Time to tuck the kids in.
The young man throws the paper cup into the bin before making his way toward the anomalies' rooms. He couldn't decide whether he was glad that he could still hear sounds coming from their rooms.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Rudolph, it's time to sleep. Sign off the computer, and let's go to the third floor."
"Ah… It's this late already, huh?"
"Seems like you enjoy researching yourself."
"Mou~ I'm not an animal!"
"Hahaha!! Sorry, I suppose I should be saying this world's version of you."
"Yeah… It's just… weird how all umamusumes are animals in this world while humans stay… human."
"Perhaps there is a world out there where the world is filled with umamusumes and humans are animals. It's just a coincidence that we fall here."
"Yeah… It's weird reading your name on an animal."
"I'm planning on adopting a cat and naming it Rudolph."
"Ahahaha… That is so mean of you, dear."
"Come on, let's go to sleep."
"Okay. I can continue my research tomorrow."
The Exiled Emperor turns off her computer before following the young man as they make their way toward the 2 brats' room.
"Alright, kids. Time to sleep. Put down the Manga."
"But it's getting interesting!!! It's Senior Oguri running in her second Japan Cup!!!"
"Oguri Cap?"
"Yeah!! And you are also here, too, Prez!!"
Like a kid, Teio shows Rudolph a depiction of herself in the Manga. People have made comics of her before, so this isn't the first time the Emperor has seen herself on the paper medium.
"Is this how it goes? I don't particularly remember how it went down during that era, but I know I wasn't like that."
"And there's also Teio and me here. I don't remember ever asking Mister Roppei to be his trainee, though."
"To this world, you girls are nothing more than fictional characters. These Mangas most likely aren't based on any of your girls' experiences. Even if it did, perhaps it happened in another timeline."
"These timelines and dimensions talk make my head spin. How can you so easily accept them, dear? Do you not feel weird knowing that these people think we are not real?"
"For what reason do I need to care for people from another dimension that will never interact with us? It will not help nor put me in danger, so I won't waste my energy and mind. You need to learn how to mind your own business, Emperor. You would get quickly overwhelmed if you don't."
"I suppose so…"
"Come on. We can continue tomorrow. We need to get some sleep."
"Okay~~~"
XxX-XxX
"So the first call to action should be getting you girls some clothes. Sadly, there don't exist clothes with tail holes, so you need to use female human clothes."
"Ugh… Can we not cut a hole?"
"Yes, but it would catch the eyes of everyone. Nobody gives a shit at night since everyone is tired as fuck, but they are all wide awake in the morning. You girls would get a lot of questioning stares. Only use your normal clothes when night breaks."
"Okay… How do we buy clothes, though? We can't walk outside, right?"
"We'll do it through a video call. You girls instruct me on which items to choose."
"That would work. Will you be okay with going through the women's clothing section, trainer?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Yeah… I forgot that you aren't normal."
