The Shinobi World, however, was different. It made an agreement with the Empress, who literally became the mother of a champion. This champion lived within her, and his story was a delight that all world consciousnesses eagerly awaited.
This arrangement broke the rules—or to be precise, had never been done before—because a champion belongs to all worlds; he is the favored son of every world.
Type-Moon lost its popularity because of this. Their story of Heroes fighting for the Holy Grail was put on hold, and their 'Payout' level dropped.
Type-Moon couldn't tolerate it. As a Rank 8 Mega World and a pioneer in live streaming, it had become a model for many worlds. To lose popularity was unacceptable.
Unfortunately, when they tried to bring a Champion under their wing, they were strongly rejected, and the Shinobi World refused to cooperate, leaving Type-Moon powerless.
Fortunately, Alaya found a solution. While wandering through the Rift between worlds, a subordinate world offered her a treasure she couldn't refuse. Even though the price she paid was exorbitant, it was worth it.
The Heart of the Void Hero—the only Hero to defeat an Overlord, though his soul had been shattered.
And now, with the Emperor of Time Champion's rise in popularity, attracting him to her world seemed like a perfect plan.
"I can't wait… I want to see it. How good will it be?"
Alaya clenched her small fists, sighing inwardly. She was certain this would be the greatest story she had ever produced, and the best part? She didn't even know how it would end.
She could enjoy it to the fullest…
"What class should I give him? Ruler? Beast? …No, no. How could I forget? He already has a class."
Alaya was so excited that as soon as she thought of Hero classes, a spark appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but smack her forehead.
"AVENGER"
At the same time, Alaya and Gaia spoke the word in unison, holding hands and smiling. That's right, there was no need to give the Emperor of Time a class.
He was both an Avenger and a Berserker, one of the three special existences born from Order.
Someone who would create a new Order…

Date a Live World, Neighboring World
Yuki, of course, knew nothing of this. He had opened a new wormhole, returning to his Timeline. He also didn't know that at the moment of his return, Reine's eyes opened.
"Did it fail? How disappointing…"
In the Neighboring World, Reine couldn't help but sigh, though she was also excited. She wasn't disappointed at all—if anything, she was a little thrilled by the man who had caused such losses to her original self.
And now, she had planted a time bomb inside Natsumi. After all, she had never trusted Natsumi to kill Yuki. Natsumi had been nothing more than bait.
Reine had analyzed the pattern: the longer a spirit took to experience Resonance, the stronger it would become. Like a dam holding back water, it would soon burst. Yuki would weaken, triggering a chain reaction in the Sky Castle, which would break the seals that held the Demon King prisoner.
Reine thought it was a good idea since Yuki couldn't be defeated by normal means. When he returned to the past, he would trust Natsumi, and he would likely take the initiative to lift the seal.
Everything was going according to her plan. The only thing she hadn't accounted for was Yuki's perseverance in resisting Natsumi's erosion.
"No, Natsumi was the wrong spirit…"
Upon further reflection, Natsumi wasn't the right choice. Reine should have let Tohka, Kurumi, or Nia act as bait. Had it been any of them, the seal might have been broken. It was a shame that Kurumi and Nia were out of the game, and Tohka was beyond her reach…
"There's no other way. I'll have to leave it to you…Kotori."
Staring into the blazing fireball, Reine's eyes narrowed in anticipation.
What will Yuki do to calm this erupting volcano?
Will he succeed, or will he fall?
How far will this imposter go?
Reine didn't know, but she was both eager and confused. She sympathized with Yuki because they were alike. Yuki was hard to kill.
A man of miracles, just like that boy from 30 years ago…
(An imposter will never surpass the original, never be Shinji… just as I'll never be Mio Takamiya.)
This was true, and yet…
(Will he create a miracle? Do imposters have worth too?)

Date a Live World, Tenguu City
With his new power, Yuki returned to his timeline so easily that even he was surprised by it.
Before, he had to use 45% of his Reiryoku to cross, but now his consumption was less than 10%. The power of a High Destroyer was terrifying.
"Kyaa~ Darling!"
And, of course, as soon as he emerged from the wormhole, he was greeted with a (tackling) hug from Miku.
Since Yuki had left, she had been keeping watch, waiting for the moment he reappeared, and her efforts hadn't been in vain—she was the first to reach him.
"Miku?!"
Being hugged by Miku sent shivers down his spine. He had just stabilized his spiritual world, and Miku was a ticking time bomb. Even in her normal form, he could feel the disturbance in his spiritual world…
(Scary! Miku is terrifying!)
The only way he could be near her was if he sealed her powers like he had in the other timeline, but that wasn't possible—at least, he didn't want to do it…
"Darling, I missed you so much... Uuuhhh, don't leave me again, Darling."
Miku's acting skills were top-notch. She clung to Yuki tightly and cried pitifully, as if she had suffered a great injustice…
"It's only been 30 minutes…"
Though days had passed in the past, Yuki made sure to return just 30 minutes after he left—enough time for Origami to return to normal. So, Yuki didn't believe Miku at all…
"Even so, for a dog, 30 minutes is equivalent to 8 hours!"
(So… you're a dog?)
Yuki almost retorted, but fortunately, someone else did it for him.
"Miku, wait! Stay away from him!"
"Kyaa~ Tohka-san, even though my heart belongs to Darling, I still have plenty of love for you~"
"No, no! That's not what I meant! What are you doing? Get away from me!"
"Yay~ Don't run, Tohka-san! Accept my love!"
"Nooo!!"
It seemed Tohka had found her nemesis. She was running from Miku's kisses and hugs. Her jealousy was ineffective this time as Miku didn't fight her—she chased her to shower her with affection instead. Tohka ran away in terror, even calling for help, which no one gave. This was expected—nobody wanted to get involved with this Yuri-loving girl, especially not the Yamai sisters.
(TN: I mean this works too just spread love instead of hate😇)
It was for the best, as Yuki didn't want another disaster like the one with Mukuro.
"Onii-chan, welcome back…"
"Origami…"
With Miku and Tohka out of the way, Origami approached. She was still wearing her snow-white Astral dress.
She had a warm smile on her face as she hugged Yuki too, but unlike Miku, Origami wrapped her arms tightly around him, as if she was afraid he might leave again…
"Origami, it's okay, I won't leave again…"
At first, Yuki thought Origami's refusal to let go was out of fear. He didn't mind and patted her head. However, his expression soon changed as Origami's hands moved downward, attempting to pull down his pants…
"Origami?! What are you doing?"
"Taking off your pants."
"I know that! I want to know why you're doing it."
"Sex."
"Huh?!"
"You can't have sex with your pants on. Or do you prefer to do it with the zipper down?"
"…"
Those words left everyone frozen in place, with blushes marking the cheeks of the young maidens present. None of them had expected such a thing, not even Yuki, since Origami remained expressionless while saying these words, yet looked eager, as if she couldn't wait. She didn't care that there was an audience.
Her goal was clear: to be with her beloved Onii-chan…
"Hey!! Get away from Yuki!"
Tohka, who had managed to escape from Miku, returned. Seeing Origami's suspicious behavior, she didn't hesitate to intervene…

TN: Now thats what I expect from origami!
