Simultaneous Transmigration: My Extraordinarily Talented Self-Reliant Author: Three Umbrellas
Having been reborn into a different world in the Type-Moon universe, Yalin only wants a peaceful life after witnessing the collapse of the bubble economy. However, he accidentally discovers that he has simultaneously traveled through countless worlds.
Type-Moon world's Yarin: "Why is there a Holy Grail War everywhere? Aika, do you have any clue about this?"
Yarin from the Naruto world: "I've been transported to another world, akin to the Sengoku period of Japan. I will assemble my forces and completely change this chaotic world. Wait, why is a shooting star falling from the sky? And there's a white-haired, white-eyed woman in front of me? Is her name Kaguya?"
In the Otherworld, Yalin: "Something's wrong with this world. Why are there abilities like hypnosis, sensitivity manipulation, and even time stop in the everyday world? They're all cheating, huh? Fine, I'm not acting anymore!"
.................
This is the story of a group of Yalin who relied on themselves.
Volume One: Chapter One: The Bookstore Owner
"Lin Jun, did you know? Cherry blossoms travel at a speed of five centimeters per second."
On the steps in front of the bookstore, a platinum blonde girl with blue eyes stood beside the young man, gazing at the cherry blossoms blooming in the park not far away, a radiant smile spreading across her face.
"I don't know, I only know that the Dongfeng-41 can reach speeds of Mach 25. Even cherry blossoms that have fallen for thirteen years cannot stop the Dongfeng Express from fulfilling its mission."
The young man responded casually, preparing for the day's business.
The bookstore has a spacious interior with a dozen bookshelves arranged in rows and columns, filled with all kinds of books, but it doesn't look messy at all. Instead, it has a pleasing aesthetic.
"Thirteen years of cherry blossoms? Dongfeng-41? What strange things is Lin Jun saying now?"
The girl tilted her head, seemingly trying to understand the specific meaning.
He then turned to look at the young man, his blue eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
"Just take it as my ramblings, Aige, you don't need to take it too seriously."
The black-haired youth named Yalin responded with a smile, without explaining the meaning of his words in detail.
As a transmigrator with past and present lives, even if he is used to life in this life, it is not surprising that he will occasionally reveal information that does not conform to the current era.
Then he took out a broom set and a feather duster from the corner and placed them in front of Aigo: "Choose one before the guests arrive."
Upon hearing this, the girl looked up and scanned the young man's tall figure, seemingly comparing the height difference between the two, before unhesitatingly choosing the broom.
"Lin Jun is truly malicious. Is there any need for this choice?"
Ai Ge muttered to herself, but actually obediently swept the floor.
In this otherwise utterly boring world where the future is predictable, every move of the young man before us is captivating.
Even doing these mundane daily chores is a pleasure for her.
Yalin remained silent, unconcerned about Ai Ge's petty temper.
Compared to when they first met several years ago, the other person suddenly showed great enthusiasm, but also hid an emptiness and indifference.
The starkly contrasting extremes are embodied in a pure white girl, making her seem like an inhuman anomaly, sending chills down one's spine.
Ai Ge's performance now is at least comparable to that of her peers, which is a huge improvement.
Yalin held a feather duster and swept away the dust, feeling quite gratified.
As a time traveler who arrived in the 1980s and 1990s, he did not bring much change to the world.
If it were any other ambitious transmigrator, even reborn in Tokyo, they would probably be a force to be reckoned with. Putting everything else aside, just using their informational advantage to make investments wouldn't be a huge loss.
It's worth noting that in Japan 1980s, there were rumors that selling Tokyo would be enough to buy the entire United States, which shows just how inflated Japan's power was at that time.
Although with the arrival of the 90s, the Plaza Accord, which had been signed, was about to break Japan's bones and the bubble economy completely exploded, bringing this illusion to a complete end.
Countless people went to rooftops, and the suicide rate reached a new high.
But this could also be an opportunity.
Putting everything else aside, opening a funeral home in advance might just be a way to make a quick buck.
Wait a minute, isn't this profiting from the dead?
It felt pretty hellish.
Yalin shook his head slightly, showing little interest in the matter.
Over the years, he has witnessed how Japan reached its peak, and now it's time for him to suffer the consequences.
After making a fortune in the beginning, Yalin retired, bought an apartment building, opened a bookstore, and lived a peaceful retirement life at a young age.
Having the chance to live a second life is already an immense stroke of luck, and Yalin is not greedy.
Moreover, his current goal is to better help himself solve problems.
With their combined efforts, the brief cleaning was completed. The entire bookstore was sparkling clean and spotless.
Yalin handed the girl a glass of warm water, then leaned back in the rocking chair like a salted fish.
Even though both lives were spent on Earth, this world is somewhat different from the previous one.
For example, there is Fuyuki City, an area prone to accidents, and the Tohsaka family, a major landowner in the area.
His understanding of Type-Moon was limited to the two anime series of World War IV and V, as well as his superficial knowledge as a new Master in FGO, but he also had a deep understanding of the meaning of Fuyuki City and the surname Tohsaka.
It's 1990 now. It's unclear whether World War IV will break out in Fuyuki City of this world. After all, Type-Moon has many timelines, and Arin can't determine which one he's on, nor does he intend to get involved.
Another example is the light blonde, blue-eyed girl, Aika Sajou, who is standing next to him.
She appears to be a weak woman with a soft voice and a delicate body, easily pushed over.
In reality, she is probably a member of the magicians, just like Rin Tohsaka.
This makes sense, though, since even Fuyuki City has its own three founding magic families, let alone a top-tier metropolis like Tokyo.
Even though the other party did not show much abnormality in front of him and acted like an ordinary girl.
Yalin still keenly sensed that Aige was no ordinary person, but he didn't care about it.
Since Ayaka Sajou harbored no ill will towards him, even if their initial connection was somewhat deliberate, Ayrin did not mind becoming the girl's close friend.
Even though her thoughts are often unpredictable and she occasionally says some dangerous things, she is not annoying.
Compared to other magicians who pursue their roots and go to the Clock Tower for further studies, Ai-ka is truly unconventional, having an unusual interest in an ordinary person like herself.
They can even be so persistent that they meet every day for years.
It's truly amazing how vast the Moon is, with all sorts of wonders within it.
Thinking of this, Yalin glanced at Aika. The girl seemed to notice him and looked up at him with a bright smile, asking in a light tone.
"Lin Jun, what are you thinking about?"
"No matter how you look at it, Aika is really cute, like a kitten, I want to ra her."
Yalin said casually, without hiding his intentions at all.
"Ugh?"
Ai Ge's eyes widened, a blush rising to her cheeks, a mixture of shyness and joy on her face.
Before she could respond, Yalin's voice rang out again.
"Of course, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Yalin's words made the girl's face freeze instantly, and she looked dejected.
"To say that, Lin Jun is as cunning as ever."
"That's just my personality, I can't change it," Yalin teased. He actually quite enjoyed teasing the other person; it was very amusing.
Of course, this is not romantic love between the opposite sexes; given the other person's age, it's rather bizarre.
Moreover, his XP has always been all about bigger being better, bigger being more beautiful.
As for Aika, Yalin probably treats her like a niece or something similar.
As for treating her as a daughter, Ayaka Sajou's father is still alive; he wouldn't be so unreasonable.
Like a cat?
At this moment, Aigo's soft murmur could be faintly heard, as if she were repeating this phrase.
"You're wrong. Cats aren't as cute as Aige, so don't even think about bullying them. It's better to relax on this precious weekend."
Yalin gently rubbed Aige's head, interrupting her reverie.
"Your sneak attack is a foul."
The girl protested in dissatisfaction, but her body did not resist.
His azure pupils narrowed instead, as if he was enjoying the warmth above him.
After a period of playful banter, the bookstore officially opened for business, but there were very few visitors.
After all, with the economic downturn, all industries are struggling, except for funeral homes.
However, Yalin opened the shop simply to avoid being a complete slacker and to help others; he didn't care at all whether the business was good or bad.
He pulled books from the bookshelf and stacked them on the table, then carefully flipped through them, his browsing speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Aige blinked, looking at the books with some confusion.
But some of them followed suit and tried to slack off too.
However, she prefers fairy tales with happy endings. Especially fairy tales about princes on white horses, which she never tires of.
The crowd outside the bookstore was growing slowly, but it did not affect the two people inside.
As for the occasional customers who come in to buy or read books, they are initially surprised by this leisurely group, but then find it strangely normal.
As dusk fell, the girl reluctantly bid farewell, and Yalin watched her leave with a smile before closing the door behind him.
The moment the room was completely sealed, Yalin exhaled, the reflection of the silver clock appearing in his eyes, only to vanish in the blink of an eye.
Beside him, the books he had been reading during the day had not yet been put back in their places.
The top few books are "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual," "The Militia Training Manual," and "The Farmland Irrigation Manual"...
"Is this enough for now?"
Yalin stroked his chin, pondering it carefully for a while.
