Arriving at his own house, Oreki was greeted by the sight of Tom and Jerry in the living room not playing games like they usually do or even lazing around and sleeping but reading books. He was so confused about why his two pets were reading books instead of playing Tekken and the reason is probably not even reasonable.
Oreki walks towards the living room, to question them. However, as he gets close to the duo of Jerry and Tom, he can now clearly see what his pets have been reading and he then realizes the cat is the only one reading the book while the mouse is reading a manga.
Though the reason for not playing Tekken might be absurd and unreasonable, Oreki would easily accept their reason and be understanding of it. However, what he does not forgive is what Tom is currently reading instead of playing games is book 1 of a fucking Twilight! Out of all the books he had in his pocket dimension he chose a book about Vampires that glitter like diamonds when sunlight shines upon them which is stupid but he gave the author of that book some point in her creativity as she did not follow the trope of vampires turning to ashes under the sun. Still, it does not mean I'm going to that book or even watch the movie again.
Oreki remember some trivia about the Twilight movie before he reincarnate here in the new world, that the male lead always answers in his interview when questioned about how worst or good the movie and he would always answer that it was a shit movie that he would not recommend it to anyone but if they like to self insert to the female lead that gets everything then they can watch it in peace. (Did I un ironically burn myself too?)
The Jerry the mouse though is reading a manga, and Oreki turns his head to Jerry. He narrowed his eyes and saw the manga that Jerry was reading before smiling proudly as he saw the title of the manga.
"Well, what do you know! Jerry is reading Berserk by Kentaro Miura" Oreki thought to himself. This manga does not need any explanation on why it's one of the best manga out there in his precious world but In this world, it's practically unpopular to everyone and that's why he was not able to notice that there is a Berserk manga in this. It's no wonder Jerry wins most of the time when they are fighting because he has better taste in literature than Tom the Cat.
By the way, Miura Sensei is still alive in this world and he will make his life longer than his previous world until he finishes his Magnum Opus. He will also do the same with Oda Sensei and Toriyama Sensei.
"Wait a minute! Am I unknowingly becoming the editor that enslaves and forces them to finish the manga or make more content?" Oreki thought to himself while holding his chin. Then came to the conclusion that it's not and if he did become the editor unknowingly then at least he is hands-off and had no say in their manga. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
However, before asking them the reason why they not playing games. He needed to ask Tom why is he reading Twilight instead o reading any other book he could find in his pocket dimension and he expected the answer that he did like the book just for his peace of mind.
"Tom, why are reading that book?" Oreki asked gently with a smile while sitting down on one of the sofas and he also turned on the TV to watch some international and local news like he always did.
Tom moved his sight away from the book to Oreki, he then removed his reading glasses before saying and opening and closing his mouth while making a sound that did not sound like he was speaking but Oreki understood what he meant pretty easily as he was his pet after all.
"Oh thank god! I thought you were..." Oreki said but he was not able to complete what he was about to say when the Twilight book came flying in his direction and hit him in the forehead. He saw that one coming but he deserved that because he was about to ask him why Tom was gay for reading that book.
"Hehe, I deserved that, Tom for assuming things," Oreki said after getting hit by the book Tom threw at him. He picks up the book as he open a portal that leads to a garbage dump before throwing the book in there.
Tom then makes a strange sound again which means that at least Oreki knows that he is wrong to assume someone's gender and he also added that he should think before saying anything to anyone so as to not cause any problem or make people mad at him. He then took out a Berserk manga from his pocket.
"Nah, I rather not think and just say or do whatever I want as that problem will not happen why?" Oreki asked in a playful manner which made Tom and even the silent Jerry roll their eyes together as they knew his stupid and dumb reason. They wanted to stop him from completing this cringe reason but they let him anyway.
"Because I'm Batman"
Oreki answers in a gruff voice. As for why he answered that, well Batman is a walking plot armor who could do everything and win against any odd even if he is just a human with the help of his brain. Oreki can also do everything and win easily with the help of his magic and stuff.
"Anyway, why are you guys reading manga or books instead of playing Tekken? Oreki asked the question that he had been holding off on since he arrived in a curious tone.
Tom and Jerry look at each other before Jerry started explaining in an embarrassed manner that they can't rank up to Tekken King as they're getting their ass kicked by the same player every time they reach the promotion match, Even Tom is also getting embarrassed just hearing Jerry explain it.
"Haiyaa! Why so weak"
Oreki said while shaking his head in disappointment. Maybe this will them stop from playing too much but he doubts it as they seem to be just taking a break from the beating they receive from the player they mention. After that, he just focuses on the news that he is watching.
Tom and Jerry blew their tongue at Oreki. They were about to return to their reading but then they looked at each other and nodded as if they came to an agreement before turning again to Oreki and begging them to help them rank up or just beat the player that bullied them.
However Oreki them as he focuses his attention on the TV trying to catch something interesting that would jog his memory but after begging and being annoying for almost 10 minutes, He just sighed before saying "Fine but I will help you guys rank up once"
Tom and Jerry nodded happily as they booted that PS5 and logged in to their joint account. Tom then gave the controller to Oreki and he started to play using Lili this time to work his way to the promotion match,
After playing for a good while, Oreki reached the promotion match with a breeze. Tom and Jerry then told him angrily that the opponent was also the same guy that beat them and prevented them from ranking up,
"Oho, then let this Uncle Oreki beat the bully for his nephews," Oreki said with an accent that made the Duo of pets roll their eyes but they became happy as soon as thought of ranking up, They even changed their clothes in a cheerleading outfit to cheer Orekii.
"Sorry UMR-san but your bullying ends here"
Oreki said as he picked Law for promotion, UMR then picked the same character. Oreki assumes that UMR is underestimating him as UMR thinks that he is Tom and Jerry. That is a costly mistake for UMR as he beat him in 3 rounds easily.
They started dancing as Tom and Jerry celebrated their promotion via Oreki which is a cheat by the way but still a win is a win for them.
Oreki then gave them the controller but not before reading UMR DM. that accuses him of cheating.
This makes Oreki roll his eyes "Why do players online always assume that other players are cheating if they lose to them." He does not know that those messages are meant for Tom and Jerry.
Oreki looks around the living trying to find a cat or Yoruichi before asking Tom "Where's Yoruichi?"
Tom said that she left earlier in the evening and said that she was going to hunt stray devils for fun. Oreki nodded in understanding, He left to the living room and went upstairs.
After entering the bedroom, he sat down in front of the computer as he turned on the PC. He then started drawing the rest of the Azato Making chapters and Naruto chapters up until the end of the Land of Waves arc before uploading it on his blog website and Twitter. Because he is going to be away for a good while, He plans to upload it now so as to not blue ball his fans and leave them on a cliffhanger.
