Chapter Ninety-Four Leaving is for Reunion

  I'm telling TOM about the next arrangement, right! That damned old bee is coming to my house today, and just thinking about him scheming against my only younger brother makes me gnash my teeth. "TOM, did you remember? We're going to do it like this... like that... uh-huh! Got it?"

  "...Kaito, you've said those few words to me at least a hundred times since the day I received your letter." Tom scrunched up his face and threw a sanitary wipe with no regard for courtesy.

  "Hmph!" She glared at Tom fiercely, then turned her head away and refused to look at him. Just thinking about it made her angry - she had worked so hard to raise her younger brother, only for him to secretly take advantage of her when she was excited from shopping and get her to agree to call his name when he grew taller than her. With a resentful gaze, she snuck another glance at Tom, "Hmph! If it weren't for the limitations of my strength, I would definitely be taller than you!!"

  TOM looked down at his own sister, who was emitting a strong aura of resentment, and for an instant, the love in his crimson eyes flashed, but as soon as their familiar brown-red eyes met, the emotions in his eyes were instantly covered up.

  Complete taking care of Tom Marvolo Riddle until 11 years old task, reward 10,000 points.

  A familiar voice reached my ears, and the main god hadn't made a sound for a long time. I thought he had also gone on vacation.

  Long time no see, Lord God!

  It's just been one day since we last saw each other.

  Master God, who are you kidding! It's been a year since we last met!!

  One day in heaven is one year on earth, don't you have some common sense?...

  You have no common sense! Your whole family has no common sense!

  【…………】

  Hmph! You can't win an argument against me!

  【...begins transmission of another world, countdown one day.】

  Good grief?! What the...?! Lord, Lord God, you're absolutely taking revenge, aren't you, absolutely taking revenge!

  I'm fed up with your brother and sister's old-fashioned way of life. It's already a big concession that I don't let you transmit it now.

  I have a bad feeling about this... What's with the old husband and wife?! He and I are siblings!!

  "......Hinata, Hinata."

  Blinked a few times in confusion and looked at TOM who was gently pushing me "What's wrong, TOM?"

  "What were you just spacing out about, idiot." Tom glared at me unhappily.

  "Idiot... I miss this nickname, I remember Sasuke often scolding me like this." Who knows how the world of Naruto has progressed now, won't older brother Uchiha... Pfft! My mouth is so unlucky.

  "Who is Sosuke?" Tom furrowed his brow and inquired, staring at the person with a nostalgic expression.

  "Hahaha... did I just say something? Sasuke? Uchiha Sasuke?" I dryly laughed without looking at TOM, why do I feel like the temperature around me has dropped a lot? Never mind, playing dumb, I don't believe TOM would use Soul Reaper on me.

  "... Humph!" Tom glared at the girl in front of him who was trying to play dumb, his furrowed eyebrows could kill a fly, provided there were flies in the house.

  "Ah, right, Tom! I almost forgot to tell you something very important. The Dumbledore who came to our house today is a suspicious old man, cough! Okay, he's an uncle. If you do something that makes him suspect, there's a 70% chance you'll be called into his office and have your soul sucked out, so remember, you need to practice brain closure techniques more often. And there's also a 30% chance that you'll be called into his office and offered some super-sweet, weird sweets and water, which might contain truth serum, but I think you, as someone who hates sweet food, won't eat them anyway."

  "...I see, but you seem to know him pretty well." Tom narrowed his eyes.

  "I don't understand him at all. I never intentionally try to understand others, I just looked up his information and know about his character." Shrugging my shoulders, as if I would tell him anyway.

  "And TOM, you should have known better than to tell others that you can speak Parseltongue, huh? Because you're a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts. You'll find many interesting things at Hogwarts, oh! With your personality, you'll definitely be sorted into Slytherin, where almost everyone is from influential pure-blood families. And with that despicable Muggle father's surname, even though our family is wealthy, you might still get bullied... Ah, I'm wrong, now the only ones who can bully you are me and Dumbledore..."

  "Because you need to prevent someone from coming to bother you, disturbing your precious personal time, so you have to take down the position of first-year class leader. This position has many benefits, don't let it go to waste. Also, don't attract Dumbledore's special attention, he is very protective of Gryffindor and favors them. In other words, he dislikes Slytherin people, although he appears kind and benevolent on the surface."

  "Hmm, of course I know... this time is absolutely..." Tom lowered his head, his black hair covering his eyes, and muttered softly.

  "What did you just say, Tom?"

  "It doesn't matter."

  "Hmm..." I stared intently at Tom's bloodshot eyes for half a beat.

  "What's going on?" Tom's forehead slid down a few black lines, always feeling a bad premonition.

  "Just in case, TOM, because your eyes are too conspicuous. Although black hair and red eyes are lovely, I have to inconvenience you. Hold still for a moment, just like that." He took out his phone and snapped a photo of TOM's dark face, after all, he wanted to keep a memento, so he could look at him again after he left...

  "Headmaster, how many points will it take for Tom's eyes to turn black until he graduates from Hogwarts and return to their normal red color?"

  Confirm exchange for Iris Color 7 years? Cost: 100 Reward Points.

  Wow, boss you're so nice, this thing is really cheap!

  The main god who was given a good person card for the first time is speechless

  What is the point value of the main god for the shaman profession?

  Warlock profession 5000 points.

  Saying Lord, how many points do I have now?

  11,300 points

  So it's like this, I didn't think I still had so many points. Main God, exchange for the Wizard profession.

  Exchange for Witch profession, cost 5000 reward points, remaining 6300 points.

  Right, how many points did the main god let TOM become a pure-blood with Salazar Slytherin's bloodline? Although he has Salazar Slytherin's bloodline, but he always had half of him being a Muggle-born, I don't want my lovely brother to have a snake face that scares little kids in the future.

  "Pure-blooded Sleightlin, costs 1000 reward points. Do you want to exchange?"

  Exchange

  The sound had just fallen when a red glow enveloped Tom. Under Tom's puzzled gaze, the blood-red eyes slowly transformed into ink-black, and he slowly closed his eyes, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

  …………

  ………

  Han Feng TOM opened his eyes, with some delight in them "Kui Yan, I feel that my body has become very comfortable, and my magic power has increased by more than double, what did you just do?"

  "It's nothing, really. I just got rid of the Muggle blood in your body, that's all. In other words, you're no longer the half-blood you hated so much, but a pure-blood, which is what you've always yearned for. Consider this a gift to celebrate your departure for Hogwarts." She winked at Tom, though it was actually compensation for him having to live alone in the future...

  "! Kaito, how did you do it?" Tom's eyes were filled with incredulity.

  "Secret~"

  "Hmm!"

  "Master Clover, Mr. Dumbledore has arrived." The house-elf Julie suddenly popped out, scaring me back two steps. Ever since the house-elf came to my home, my mental endurance had increased by more than a fold, deeply experiencing what it means for people to scare each other to death, although house-elves aren't human...

  "Ch! That annoying guy is coming, Clone Technique." With a look of discontent, he pouted his mouth and skillfully formed the hand seal.

  TOM looked a bit stunned and blinked his eyes to prove he wasn't seeing things "...Two Sakuras?"

  "Just wait a moment, TOM. Transformation technique." Continuing to seal the handprint, the smoke dispersed, and my identity transformed into that of a middle-aged woman with a slender figure wearing elegant clothes and having a gentle face.

  "TOM is going to call his mom in a minute ~" I sneaked a peek at TOM who was rarely seen in a daze.

  "Really, wait a minute to call my mother oh, cute little TOM ~" My split self smiled and went over to pinch TOM's face, provoking a glare from TOM.

  "Sasha, please invite Professor Dumbledore in, and now call her mistress too."

  "Yes! Master Sakuragi."

  The man who came in was tall and large, with brown long hair and a mustache, a long broken eagle nose, wearing a crescent-shaped glasses. His eyes hid a pair of sharp blue eyes, dressed in a luxurious velvet suit.

  Dumbledore gazed at the woman in front of him, her dark brown hair styled with precious jewels, an oriental face with black eyes that seemed cold and distant. Her complexion was somewhat pale, but a serene smile hung on her face. Beside her stood a little girl, also with dark brown hair reaching down to her waist, with an oriental face that looked very delicate and lovely. The little hand clutched the hem of the woman's seemingly expensive dress, her dark eyes staring at him warily, with some apprehension and distance in them, perhaps due to shyness. Dumbledore didn't think much of it.

  It seems that the girl should be the child of this lady in front, he can feel the magic power on the lady and the faint magic power on the girl, as well as a pretty good magic power. Dumbledore looked at the owner of the magic power, it was a boy, apparently he is the child who is about to enter school.

  But he could tell that this was a wizarding family, the large estate and the many house-elves were proof of that. But why did they say that this child, who was about to start school, was a special case? A flash of inquiry flickered in the blue eyes behind half-moon spectacles, before being replaced by warmth. "Dear lady, may I introduce myself, I am Albus Dumbledore, Professor at Hogwarts, here to take Mr Tom Riddle to our school."

  "Ah, Professor Dumbledore, I am Bridget Everard. I suppose you must know why it's obvious that I'm from a wizarding family but in a rather... unusual situation. Please, Professor, do sit down and have a cup of tea." She turned and walked over to the armchair, sitting down.

  "The honour is mine, madam." Dumbledore also sat down.

  "Sigh... I knew this day would come. My husband is a child of the Everley family's branch, and he didn't attend Hogwarts, you know some wizarding families prefer to raise their own wizards. As you can see, I'm an Easterner, yes, we met when he was on a business trip in China and fell in love. Since I'm also a pure-blood witch, his family didn't oppose us being together, so we got married... thinking we'd be happy..."

  "...my husband suddenly fainted one day and was sent to St. Mungo's, where he was diagnosed with a very rare and strange disease. I tried every way but couldn't cure his illness. Not long after the funeral, I found out I was pregnant, and then my daughter was born. I didn't want my daughter to be as lonely as me, so I thought about finding her a companion. When I arrived at the Muggle orphanage, unexpectedly there was a little wizard inside, so I took him back..."

  I stood by, my eyes wide with amazement, I didn't think my acting skills were so superb, even I myself would believe what this doppelganger was saying, let alone Dumbledore. If Dumbledore knew about it, he might even pull out his beard in anger, just thinking about it makes me want to burst out laughing... but of course that's not allowed, I struggled to hold back and buried my face in TOM's chest, can't afford to blow my cover...

  TOM looked at the cheesy plot unfolding before him with some incredulity, if he wasn't mistaken, his sister had thrown a manga with this exact same plot on her bedside table, as for where the manga came from, he had no idea, at one point he even suspected that the ring on her hand was a storage ring.

  TOM let out a helpless sigh, and with a somewhat awkward movement, he gently patted his sister's shoulder, which was shaking with suppressed laughter in his arms. He now only hoped that she hadn't laughed so hard that her nerves had become disordered...

  "Oh! Madam, I'm so sorry to have brought up your unpleasant memories." But such a scene in Dumbledore's eyes had completely changed into another meaning, a poor and weak wife who lost her husband early because she wanted him to understand and let her recall the painful memories again. The silly little girl saw her mother crying sadly and thought of the loneliness without her father, so she leaned into the arms of her foster brother and cried silently. And the foster son seemed to have seen such a scene many times, sighed slightly, and comforted the little girl in a low voice.

  …………

  ………

  "Professor Dumbledore, this is the key to the vault. Would you mind holding onto it for Tom temporarily?" The duplicate said with a smile as he handed over a small golden key to Dumbledore.

  "Alright, ma'am, I'll bring Tom back safely after buying the necessities. Let's go, Tom." Dumbledore took the keys and smiled as he headed home, nodding at Tom to follow him.

  After Dumbledore turned around, the obedient smile on Tom's face instantly changed back to a expressionless face. He lowered his head, and his black hair covered up the ferocious expression on his face. A hint of red light flashed in his dark eyes.

  After seeing Tom and the old bee off, I started to get busy. It's not that I didn't want to go with Tom to the alley, but I'm really busy now because I'll be leaving soon. When Tom comes back, I still have a reasonable explanation for him... Oh! Just thinking about it gives me a headache...

  …………

  ………

  Tom walked in with a dark face, restored the shrunken things to their original state and threw them at the household elf, then went upstairs. Going upstairs didn't see that 'mother' around, looks like she's already gone back.

  "How's Tom? Enjoying shopping?" I slightly raised my head and took a glance at Tom.

  "Thanks to you, it's totally messed up."

  "Oh, well, there's no other way, this is the only way to keep Dumbledore from suspecting, so I'm afraid you'll have to be sacrificed." He said perfunctorily to Tom, looking at the letter on the table with a tinge of sadness in his heart. After all, he was my younger brother whom I had raised for over ten years.

  I've been thinking about how to leave, actually I should say how to leave without making TOM sad. The simplest way is to just quietly slip away, but... since TOM is that kind of person who is meticulous, super overbearing, remembers grudges and will retaliate tenfold, and on top of that a standard Slytherin, thinking about it, forget it, if one day I get kicked here by the main god again, I'll definitely be locked up by him.

  Wait! I never thought about how I was kicked into this world by the main god. Maybe I can ask the main god.

  "Hey, Lord God, I'd like to ask you something. Before crossing over, can I choose which world I arrive in?"

  It's possible, but since it's not a random draw, you'll need to pay some points to proceed. The lower the danger level of the world you arrive at, the more points you'll have to pay, and vice versa.

  The words of the main god just lit up my hope, it seems that heaven is blessing you and you won't spend your whole life without seeing your sister, so I also have a responsibility now.

  "Hey, Tom! Tom, you're back? Kaito was acting weird after you left, rummaging through the boxes and stuff." Nagini crawled up to Tom's side, wagging her tail, and started tattling.

  "Ransacking the drawers?" Tom raised an eyebrow.

  "...Najini, don't bring you up like this, oh, TOM. Actually, I want to tell you something now, but first promise me you won't get angry after hearing it." With a resentful glance at Najini, I've actually raised a pet that specializes in tattling, is this good luck or bad luck? It's really worrying for TOM's future..."

  "Oh? You go first." Tom never took a loss.

  "You promise me first."

  "...I promise you." Tom looked at his own sister with a face that didn't agree, and the look of not saying anything even if she was killed made him curious, forcing him to promise again.

  "Actually... actually, TOM, I'm not a person from this time and space. You should have noticed that I'm different from others. Alas, I somehow ended up in this time and space, to be precise, in the past. Yes, I come from the future." I explained hastily as I looked at TOM's increasingly gloomy face.

  "...So you want to go back? I won't let you go back!" Tom growled, his face furious as he grabbed my wrist.

  "I have to go back! I must go back!!" was shouted by Tom, my mood also quickly plummeted, and I glared at him fiercely.

  "I said don't go back! Don't go back!!"

  "TOM, don't be ridiculous, this is beyond my control."

  "Liar!"

  "It's true!"

  I was arguing with him meaninglessly while struggling to pull my wrist out. TOM's grip on my hand didn't loosen at all, and he refused to let go of me. I hadn't expected his strength to be so great; it seemed that he had really grown up. It looked like it would be difficult to shake him off by relying on brute force, and besides, I couldn't hurt him.

  I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, geez, he always makes me lose my composure like this. "TOM, you must be wondering why I never grew up and remained in the body of a five-year-old child. Because I come from the future, my body has stopped the flow of time, or rather, if I don't return to my original time, I will never grow up, which means I won't die!"

  "This isn't the point, even if I never grow up, I'll still be with you. But I've discovered something strange about my body lately, and after divining it, I found out that I'll be leaving today. That strange power brought me here, and now it will take me away..." He looked up at TOM, who had a bewildered expression on his face, and for once, his usual suave and elegant demeanor was gone, thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

  A complex glint flashed in Tom's eyes, he stared at me tightly, then let out a soft sigh. He put down my hand, turned his head and walked out the door, saying softly "......you can go."

  I watched with some hurt as Tom's figure walked further and further away, but he stopped at the door. He slightly turned his head, and I saw his determined smile, with a confident glint in his black eyes. "I'll definitely find you, wait for me well, Kirsikka."

  "Well, I'll be waiting for you in the future." As I looked at him with a faint smile, I could see him becoming the V Emperor, and I was looking forward to it very much.

  "Wait! Tom, remember to read the letter on the table, and Nagini, be good and listen to Tom's words, or he won't give you sugar to eat." I reminded them a few things before leaving, although I'm still worried.

  "Hey, if Akane is going out to play, she has to bring back some delicious food for Nagini! If Tom doesn't give Nagini any candy, then Tom is a big bad guy! Nagini will secretly eat all of Tom's breakfast, lunch and dinner, and let Tom go hungry!" Nagini said with her head held high.

  Tom gazed at his pet with a black line, how could he have such a gluttonous pet. He raised his eyes and took a deep look at his sister, then lifted his feet and dragged Nagini away.

  I watched as Tom and Nagini both left, looking around at everything in the room. Tom was the only brother I had ever cherished in my life, and now I finally understood Jiro's feelings...

  Let's go, Master God.

  "Transmission starting, countdown 3, 2, 1 drop——"

  "Ding - Transmission target locked, Second World: Thin Sakura Oni, Danger Level D."

  Good grief! Thin cherry blossom demon! That seems to be the story of Shinsengumi... Main God, you actually threw me into such a chaotic era, where it's a world that kills anyone who gets in their way!!

  "Is there chaos in the Hidden Fire Village? Can humans kill you?"

  Oh, yeah, Lord, you're a good person, really good person.

  HP chapter is finally done, still as sweet as ever. Akane-chan is considering adding some abuse, I don't want to be too sweet and make people sick... Cough! So the Shinsengumi story won't be that sweet after all~

  To those who like HP, please leave a message. I'm considering writing a medium-length story about HP, and the plot is already thought out, but I'm hesitant because I don't know if anyone will read it...

  The middle part of HP will not appear in this article, considering the length is a bit long, so I decided to write a single book. It's roughly about TOM becoming the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts after V's departure. Of course, the protagonist isn't V, but a new female lead character. As for the female lead, she's a sweet and elegant young lady with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and some psychological shadows.

  As for the male lead, just wait and see.
