Chapter 95: Viewing Experience 25 (Including Extra Chapter 4 Thanks to Ningning’s Long Review) ^^…
Gogol: …
Even when directly mocked by Fyodor like this, Gogol didn’t respond immediately.
He was just thinking – at least the future version of himself in the parallel world could still see Yunxi. So among the three Gogols here, was he the only one who was the Clown?
But soon, Gogol discovered that Yunxi had created many more clowns to keep him company.
These clowns were the audience members from the circus.
Using sales tactics that could even fool future Chinese people, Yunxi deceived these past Russians into buying many fake products.
Nakahara Chuuya: Human bodies have magnetic fields, magnetic fields can be altered, and changing them can change a person’s luck… How could anyone believe such nonsense?!
Ozaki Kouyou’s expression also showed strain: It seems education is truly important…
Actually, many of these people were educated. They just got carried away with purchasing desire due to the sales pitch and woke up as soon as they left the circus.
That despicable circus director – how could he sleep at night after selling them such things?!
Ozaki Kouyou smoothly changed her tune: Well, it seems Yunxi-kun’s sales techniques are truly impressive.
On the other side, Sigma muttered: Why would Yunxi have trouble sleeping? He sleeps perfectly well every night!
Yunxi didn’t sleep well tonight.While shocked, Sigma couldn’t help feeling a bit heartbroken: To have trouble sleeping even in a game…
Was Yunxi actually under great pressure, just like when he first took over the Sky Casino]…
Yunxi woke up laughing.
Sigma: .
On the other side, Kunikida snapped another pen in his hand amidst Yunxi’s quack quack laughter.
This time, Kunikida didn’t rush to use his special ability to create a new pen. He just took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: Woke up laughing, did he? Fine, fine… I almost thought Yunxi-kun had bottom lines!
The bottom-line-less Yunxi finished tormenting the audience and started tormenting the circus members.
The next day, he gathered the circus members and had everyone draw lots one by one.
Congratulations! You’ve drawn ten IOU slips signed by the director for external loans!]
Nakahara Chuuya was greatly shocked: Th-this is called a reward?!
This was punishment, wasn’t it?!
Dazai Osamu’s expression was strange: Even the Port Mafia wouldn’t treat subordinates like this.
The Port Mafia members: .
Wasn’t it normal for the Port Mafia not to treat subordinates like this? Yunxi, who treated subordinates like enemies, was the rare exception!
Shakespeare was equally surprised, but he was soon drawn to another matter: While future money indeed can’t be directly brought to this world, with Yunxi-kun both deceiving audiences and borrowing money, leaving behind so many IOU slips of varying amounts… Yunxi-kun seems to be truly short on money.
But…
Hugo voiced Shakespeare’s doubt: Maintaining a circus shouldn’t require that much money, right?
Did little Yunxi not prepare any prize tickets for the Clown?
Sakaguchi Ango: ?
Wasn’t that a good thing? At least he wouldn’t have to inherit Yunxi’s debts…
Seeing the content on the large screen, Sakaguchi Ango widened his eyes instantly: Wait, wait—is Yunxi-kun actually going to prepare a normal gift?!
Yunxi handcrafted a small wooden bird with one gold and one silver eye embedded in it for the Clown.
Sigma looked dazed: Did Yunxi borrow so much money just to make the eyes for this wooden bird?
Kunikida was equally shocked: I thought Yunxi-kun’s attitude toward Gogol-kun was just casual, like playing with an NPC in a game…
Remembering the Gogol in his own world, Kunikida promptly shut his mouth.
But whether Kunikida stayed silent or not didn’t matter, as there were so many people talking in the Viewing Room. Fyodor was even teasing, Gogol-kun, this is Yunxi-kun’s first truly meaningful gift in the ‘game,’ so Gogol definitely wouldn’t single out Kunikida specifically.
Gogol was staring intently at the content on the large screen, his face mostly expressionless.
From Little Gogol’s memories: Yunxi holding his face, him staring into Yunxi’s eyes, then snapping back to reality when Yunxi said, The silver eye looks like the moon.
To Yunxi repeatedly counting his money, then carefully putting it away.
Then back to the present, where Yunxi gave him this wooden bird that looked somewhat cute at a glance but clearly showed clumsy craftsmanship.
The bird had obvious knife marks, with one eye a brilliant gold and the other the color of the moon.
Gogol still didn’t look away.
In the Viewing Room, the clever ones had already sensed something amiss, and even the less clever should have realized it from Gogol’s attitude.
Dazai Osamu closed his eyes and covered his ears in advance, Fyodor began mentally preparing himself, and other sharp-minded individuals like Edogawa Ranpo started muttering to themselves, The Clown from another world is really lucky.
It was at this moment that Little Gogol spoke.
He said, Leader, is ‘Korya’ the nickname you prepared for me?
Everyone in the Viewing Room: ???!!
They knew something big was about to happen, but was it really this kind of big deal?!
Nakahara Chuuya: Wait, Yunxi probably didn’t mean it that way…
Gogol: But what the Clown said makes perfect sense, and Little Yunxi didn’t immediately deny it, did he?
Besides, Little Yunxi should be very happy, right? After all, the Clown agreed to become his little bird.
Nakahara Chuuya: .
Damn it, there’s no way to refute that!
With Chuuya silenced, Gogol continued watching the large screen.
Yunxi still didn’t directly agree, but Little Gogol had already changed his self-reference to Korya.
When Yunxi ordered him to wash the dishes, Little Gogol happily agreed without hesitation.
Then, Yunxi, softening, called him back and said he only needed to supervise the kitchen staff while they washed.
Little Gogol was even more delighted: Yes! Master Leader!
This segment remained warm and heartfelt, and many in the Viewing Room gradually began to smile.
However, Gogol, the counterpart of one of the protagonists, gradually calmed down.
In his world, Korya was a nickname he had chosen for himself—random and without any special meaning.
After all, he was a free bird, and even things like names and nicknames shouldn’t bind him.
But in another world, the young him not only accepted the nickname given by Yunxi, but also embraced the meaning behind it.
How exactly did the story develop, making his future self continue pursuing freedom with the nickname Korya?
On the other side, Kunikida withdrew his gaze from the Gogol of his own world that he had been staring at.
Kunikida muttered under his breath: That circus employee is both handling wood chips for Yunxi-kun and washing so many bowls. Seeing this scene, Gogol-kun actually showed no reaction at all… Truly an evil wanted criminal clown!
Louisa whispered: Shouldn’t the focus be that Yunxi-kun only made one small wooden bird, but chopped down such a large patch of birch trees?
Fortunately, Yunxi didn’t encounter any environmentalists, otherwise how long would Yunxi’s circus have been protested against!
It was completely dark when Little Gogol finally returned to Yunxi’s room.
Nakajima Atsushi watched as Little Gogol cleaned himself up and then rested his head on Yunxi’s lap. Recalling his own days at the orphanage, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of envy.
When Yunxi started singing, Nakajima Atsushi became even more envious.
Although Nakajima Atsushi had long left the orphanage and gradually learned not to dwell on the past, if back then, the director had treated him like this too…
Facing Little Gogol’s question, Yunxi casually replied that besides being the circus director, he was also the great Savior who came to this world to relieve suffering and save the distressed.
Nakajima Atsushi’s imagination came to a halt.
He felt Yunxi and the director were really too different… The director would absolutely never say something like that!
On the other side, Nakahara Chuuya clicked his tongue: Even if that clown is still young, he probably wouldn’t believe such an outrageous statement…
Little Gogol believed it.
In the Viewing Room, Gogol proactively explained for his other self: After all, little Yunxi had never lied to the clown before.
Nakahara Chuuya: .
After a moment of silence, Nakahara Chuuya gritted his teeth: It’s obviously because no matter how outrageous Yunxi is, this clown can accept it and shout ‘Freedom’!
But this time was clearly too free.
Yunxi claimed he was the ‘Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, 36,000 revolutions per breath, saving all beings with great compassion,’ and Little Gogol believed that too.
Everyone in the Viewing Room and Yunxi on the big screen simultaneously leaned back in tactical surprise, emitting shocked: Hiss!
Then, Sigma murmured: He actually believed even that? This is even more unbelievable than Laszlo accepting Yunxi calling him ‘Qin Shi Huang’…
Laszlo, Fyodor: ?
Laszlo wanted to say this wasn’t unbelievable, this was called tolerance.
Fyodor wanted to say the more unbelievable thing should be that his name became Yuan Lai Kai Shi Xi Huan Ni yet was still accepted by members of the Nameless Organization, wondering why Sigma didn’t mention that.
But Kunikida on the other side spoke first, his voice firm and powerful, cutting off their brewing responses:
This young clown from this period really needs some help with cultural education!
Gogol: ?
Yunxi thought so too!
Gogol: ???
Watching Yunxi on the big screen thinking about how to send him to school, Gogol was nearly laughing in anger: The clown was simply trusting little Yunxi…
Yunxi didn’t know that if Little Gogol learned of his thoughts, he would be sitting at the same table as The Cat Keeps Ringing.
Yunxi was still pondering how to avoid the game’s out-of-character judgment while getting Gogol to study under a proper teacher.
The scene abruptly shifted at that moment.
Unlike the warmth on Yunxi and Little Gogol’s side, this was a burnt-out ruins where a group of stern-faced Russian police officers carefully collected clues.
Mori Ōgai immediately reacted: This is the village Gogol-kun burned down, isn’t it?
Ozaki Kouyou instinctively glanced at the Russian Transcendent not far from her, then at her world’s Nakahara Chuuya, murmuring: Yes, but shouldn’t these people be unable to find anything?
Now, how exactly did the special Esper on the large screen discover the suspect had a turquoise earring and connections to the circus?
Official personnel in the Viewing Room, along with those cooperating with authorities, quickly guessed the reason.
Ookura Teruko: Is it because the other world’s Gogol-kun treated the villagers more brutally and displayed clearer ‘Esper’ characteristics?
Sigma murmured: So that information-gathering Esper was dispatched from the start…
Little Gogol’s Special ability development was remarkably fast! If Little Gogol had more time to explore his ability, this Esper would never be able to track him again!
Fyodor didn’t comment on the differences between the two worlds, merely glancing at Gogol beside him and lightly tapping the armrest.
Two pieces of intelligence that not only match Gogol-kun but also Yunxi-kun… A storm is brewing.
Those in the Viewing Room who heard Fyodor’s words: !!!
Unfortunately, regardless of whether they wanted to watch or not, the police in the large screen had already located Yunxi’s circus.
While officers nervously gathered information outside, Yunxi and Little Gogol comfortably earned money through fortune-telling inside.
The contrast was so stark that everyone immediately recalled Yunxi’s previous absurd antics and formidable power, suddenly feeling completely unworried about the pair.
Kunikida’s complaints shifted to: Still scamming people! Still scamming people! Can’t these officers do something about Yunxi-kun?!
Edogawa Ranpo: But this time Yunxi-kun isn’t really scamming people. He’s providing quite a bit of valid information.
Kunikida: ?
A young woman troubled about college majors entered, and Yunxi immediately stated: Underachievers will struggle regardless of choice, top students will be praised for foresight no matter what.
Kunikida immediately: What kind of valid information is that?!
Little Gogol picked up his notebook scribbling: Smart people… can… choose majors… freely…
Kunikida: .
Kunikida maintained his stern expression but started taking notes: Fine, this barely counts as valid information!
Yunxi then mocked a middle-aged man inquiring about prices: Do you think those items might also want to kneel and beg you to be wealthier? 😀
Little Gogol scribbled: Prices… won’t stop…
Kunikida resumed his deadpan expression, taking notes again: Prices… won’t stop…
The others in the Viewing Room watched this version of Kunikida with expressions full of unspoken commentary.
In the end, it was Dazai Osamu who spoke bluntly: Kunikida-kun, can you take notes on something useful?
There was no need to record things Yunxi casually mentioned that were only filled in by Gogol!
Kunikida paid no heed to the advice and continued writing.
But this time, the content was truly absurd.
Yunxi, facing an insomniac client, first claimed to have connections, then grabbed the client’s hand and began asking about a planchette.
Kunikida’s pen moved at a frantic speed: Planchette summoning chant, ‘Planchette, planchette, I am your past life, you are my present incarnation. If you wish to continue this bond, please…’
After writing for a long time without finishing: Kunikida: ???
Kunikida abruptly looked up: Why are there so many summoning phrases? Even job postings don’t have this many requirements! It’s already free, so what is Yunxi-kun being so picky about?
Does Yunxi want to summon a planchette or a free slave?!
Yosano, as a doctor, completely lost her composure: Ahem, do you think it might be because planchettes don’t actually exist, and a planchette wouldn’t suddenly prescribe ibuprofen sustained-release capsules using traditional Chinese medicine techniques?
Not only was Kunikida stunned, but many younger people in the Viewing Room were also shocked.
Miyazawa Kenji: So that’s what the writing meant!
When the large screen translated this part, even the Japanese text was in the same cursive script as Yunxi’s handwriting… He hadn’t understood it at all earlier and thought it was something legitimate!
Nakajima Atsushi: Then how did the pen move…
It was Yunxi using brute force to achieve the impossible.
Gogol had been holding back since earlier and finally burst out laughing.
Pfft.
Nakajima Atsushi, who was being mocked: .
Miyazawa Kenji still didn’t quite understand: Then what’s the point of Yunxi-kun doing this? Could he actually know how to treat illnesses?
Yunxi doesn’t, but Little Gogol still has plenty of strength and methods.
Miyazawa Kenji briefly lost the ability to speak.
Gogol completely gave up restraining himself: Pfft, hahaha!
Sigma shifted further away from Gogol.
Although it seemed unlikely, those police officers, please hurry up and arrest both Yunxi and Gogol!
Unfortunately, the police officers disappointed Sigma as soon as they appeared.
The police officer tried to provoke Yunxi and received the reply, I figured it out—you’re here for a fortune reading. I also figured out—you only have one life. He was so frightened he fled in panic.
Sigma was first shocked, then frantic: Yunxi didn’t even intend to threaten him! What was he imagining in his own head?
Dazai Osamu: Well, but it makes sense. After all, aside from us with our god’s perspective, probably no one could imagine Yunxi-kun was just spouting nonsense.
Kunikida, who had the god’s perspective but didn’t realize it: …
Kunikida silently crossed out this part in his notebook and swallowed the criticism he had been brewing.
Gogol: Huh? Is the big screen not going to continue showing the past timeline story?
After all, the police officer went back to call for reinforcements, so the past was relatively safe for now.
But in the future, the conflict between the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia had already reached a boiling point, and Yunxi needed to return to check on it.
Fitzgerald said bluntly: I almost forgot about that.
Others in the Viewing Room: They had too…
Entering the game, Yunxi opened his eyes to see Shibusawa Tatsuhiko’s face.
Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was summoned by Gogol to help the two enter Yokohama, while also checking on Yunxi’s current condition.
Nakahara Chuuya immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the Clown from his own world who was clamoring, The Clown would never casually hand Little Yunxi over to others, and simply said to himself: Thank goodness!
Yunxi hadn’t actually slept with that white-haired Bai Qilin!
Having waited without any response from Nakahara Chuuya, Gogol turned to the large screen in a huff.
The screen was currently displaying Bai Qilin’s inner thoughts.
Seeing Yunxi coaxing the adult Gogol the same way she’d coaxed Little Gogol, Bai Qilin thought disdainfully: ‘How disgusting. I never expected this clown to have an Oedipus complex.’
How disgusting! Dazai Osamu was also thoroughly grossed out.
For once, the Clown hadn’t been lying!
Fyodor: Hmm…
Gogol-kun simply likes Yunxi-kun, Fyodor remarked emotionally.
Gogol, struck by another emotional blow: .
Gogol fell into a slight depression, but seeing the scene on screen of Yunxi between two white-haired men, he perked up again.
Especially since Yunxi was nestled between the two white-haired men, with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko occasionally speaking to her.
Thus, while Fukuzawa Yukichi, Mori Ōgai, Natsume Soseki and others grew tense over the unpredictability of Bai Qilin, Yunxi, and Gogol, Gogol was grumbling jealously:
Why does Little Yunxi keep staring at Bai Qilin’s white hair? Isn’t the Clown’s braid pretty?
It wasn’t like he’d never worn his hair down—he’d had it loose when sleeping with Yunxi!
While everyone in the Armed Detective Agency and Port Mafia grew anxious over Yunxi’s two proposals, Gogol sat tracing circles on the armrest while muttering:
Again with this… If Little Yunxi would just treat Bai Qilin slightly worse in front of the Clown, she could easily make the Clown happy…
When nearly everyone was shocked by the calico cat transforming into Natsume Soseki—with Nakajima Atsushi exclaiming in horror, A calico cat with the same traits who knows Mr. Katai Tayama… Haruno Kirako’s Mimi really is an Esper! and Yosano staring bluntly at the Natsume Soseki from their world—Gogol kept complaining:
Little Yunxi is so unfair… Why did she only mention the third playstyle to Bai Qilin…
Everyone in the Viewing Room: .
Hello? Are we just background props here?
Kunikida finally snapped: Enough! Yunxi-kun likes you and only you! Satisfied?!
Gogol was momentarily speechless, but knowing further denial would sound insincere, he changed the subject:
Well, since Little Yunxi likes the Clown so much, the Clown is willing to obtain cat fur other than white—belonging to ‘Yokohama’s strongest Esper’—for Little Yunxi…
Natsume Soseki slowly looked up, watching his on-screen self lose patches of white fur, then orange-and-white fur, becoming bald in spots, then turning into an elegant man who’d just finished shaving his arm hair…
Natsume Soseki then turned to gaze at Gogol, whose eyes were sizing him up like prey on a cutting board.
Natsume Soseki: …?
Could his cat-form fur really be treated as a love token?
Whether it was the Clown in the Viewing Room or the Clown from the other world, they were both utterly FeSO4!
Moreover, he didn’t know whether Yunxi was the Savior, but Yunxi was definitely his natural nemesis!
Finally, Bai Qilin concluded this absurd day with a fitting summary:
Not only does the world become more bizarre when staying with Yunxi, but everything else seems to just… resolve itself this way too.
Hugo remarked sincerely, This Mr. Bai Qilin is truly a master of metaphors!
Yosano continued sharpening her knife with vigor: Is that so? I actually think this plot point isn’t excessive at all…
Even if he’s the Agency Director’s teacher, that’s no reason for an elderly man to cohabitate with a young girl!
Fukuzawa Yukichi: Ahem, ahem, ahem!
Edogawa Ranpo, picking up on the Director’s hint, reluctantly changed the subject: The developments in that world should have been identical to ours until this point, right? In that case, wouldn’t the next event be The Demon]’s capture?
Fitzgerald: But that world doesn’t have my Eyes of God].
Edogawa Ranpo wanted to say the differences between the two worlds were already significant, yet similar events kept occurring. So perhaps Eyes of God] wasn’t essential for Fyodor’s capture either.
But Fyodor was being too conspicuous, simply standing by the roadside watching the scenery.
So Shibusawa Tatsuhiko conveniently rescued Fyodor.
Fyodor felt both speechless and puzzled: Is Shibusawa-kun really the type to be this helpful?
Edogawa Ranpo had completely confirmed his earlier suspicion. Instead of following Fyodor’s line of thought, he stated: Back when The Demon] sent Clown-kun and Yunxi-kun into Meursault, I wanted to mention this. Now it’s clear – The Demon], you intentionally got yourself captured and sent to Meursault, didn’t you?
Others in the Viewing Room: !!!
Amid the tense atmosphere, Gogol laughed and added: How could Clown’s dearest friend be caught so easily? Clown thought everyone should have realized this long ago!
Mori Ōgai’s expression was grave: We did consider this possibility… But confirming it was truly beyond his expectations.
Gogol added: Also, Clown doesn’t think Shibusawa-kun and little Yunxi are similar!
Mori Ōgai: .
No one asked you about that.
Meanwhile, Yunxi had been carried by Gogol as they fled all the way back to their hideout before realizing Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was missing.
Nakahara Chuuya’s mood instantly shifted from grave to exasperated: He only noticed Bai Qilin is missing now? What was Yunxi doing earlier?
Sakaguchi Ango: Perhaps Gogol-kun was moving too fast…
Nakahara Chuuya: Yunxi isn’t that weak!
Everyone around Nakahara Chuuya: …
Well, saying Yunxi was enjoying being held by Gogol while escaping wouldn’t please Nakahara Chuuya either.
But even if they didn’t voice it, the large screen soon showed more content that Nakahara Chuuya would dislike.
Yunxi quickly put Shibusawa Tatsuhiko completely out of his mind.
He stared at Gogol for a moment, then suddenly reached up and tore off Gogol’s mask: How did you get that scar on your eye?
Nakahara Chuuya still felt Yunxi was being too concerned about this clown, but this time, he didn’t interrupt.
The others felt the same.
It wasn’t that Gogol didn’t want to tell Yunxi, he was just confused: Is that a question?
The Viewing Room grew more tense.
Kunikida murmured: What does Yunxi-kun plan to do?
Take away Gogol’s Special ability? Or…
Yunxi wouldn’t let Gogol continue being his little bird.
Kunikida: So Yunxi-kun wouldn’t let… Wait, who exactly could this threaten?!
Yosano: Perhaps, the young Gogol-kun?
Nakahara Chuuya from the other side: But this clearly isn’t the young Gogol-kun, right?!
Sigma: .
Just as cute? If Yunxi thought that, he must be in the advanced stages of pica!
Nakahara Chuuya also wanted to comment, but Mori Ōgai spoke up in time, diverting his attention.
Leaving this place now… Gogol-kun, are you planning to meet the master of the Co-eating Virus?
Nakahara Chuuya instantly turned serious: Then what about the boss in that world…
Mori Ōgai: Ah, Gogol-kun isn’t trying to help them escape, but has other matters to attend to, right?
Am I correct? Gogol-kun?
Before Gogol could speak, the content on the large screen clearly revealed the truth.
Gogol wanted to infect both himself and Yunxi with the virus to test whether Yunxi would secretly leave him and go elsewhere.
Ozaki Kouyou was astonished: To actually go this far…
Being infected with the Co-eating Virus was anything but pleasant. Yunxi wouldn’t feel pain, but wouldn’t this clown feel it either?
Fyodor, however, was troubled: Gogol-kun, Pushkin has already agreed to your request, yet you still intend to kill him at the last moment? When all you needed was for Pushkin to voluntarily lift his special ability…
Amid the chaos, Dazai Osamu suddenly raised his hand: Ahem, ahem, ahem! That’s enough!
I have a more important question now! Dazai Osamu pointed sharply at Gogol. Gogol-kun, do you remember that Yunxi-kun, in his circus ringmaster state, doesn’t have the Immortality] attribute? If he dies in that state, it’s permanent?
Gogol: ???
Gogol: !!!
