《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 12: Meet the Local {?}

"So, what do you want Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg?"
Kojiro looks at the Old Vampire with a serious expression. He knows that he can't win against the old vampire if they fight right here and right now. However, he is confident that he can run away from the old vampire if the situation forces him to fight.
"I'm here not to fight so that you can relax a little"
"I see, so what do you want?"
"I'm because I'm curious about you."
"Oh?"
He looked at Zelretch in interest.
"Yup, I don't know there is another user of Kaleidoscope."
"Oh? How do you know I'm the user of Kaleidoscope?"
"Only the user of Kaleidoscope can feel the other user of Kaleidoscope."
"I see."
"Yes, that is also the reason why you can detect me even though I hide my presence that can even fool a servant."
"I see, good for you then."
Kojiro then prepared to leave the temple, but before he could stand, Zelretch caught my hand and forced me to sit next to him.
"Before you leave, could you come with me to my room in the Clock Tower?"
"Why?"
"The first thing is I can't see you at all."
"What?"
"Because of Kaleidoscope, I can see anyone in the multiverse, but I can't see you. Your future, your past, and even your identity. I only know your name, Sasaki Kojiro, because of your look and your weapon. However, other than that, I can't see you."
While Zelretch explains his reasoning why he came to him, Kojiro thinks about the reason why Zelretch can't see him. The only thing that comes to his mind is the Man of Mystery skill he chose from the CYOA.
"So?"
"So, if I can't even see you, then the other entity in this universe can't see you as well."
"That means including…"
"Gaia and Alaya, yes."
"So? What happened now?"
"I want you to come with me to my private place in Clock Tower and have a conversation with Gaia and Alaya before they send their hunting dog."

"Primate Murder and Counter Force"
"Yes"
"Why haven't they sent their attack dog to me yet?"
"Because of your nature."
"My nature?"
"Yes, you have some weird origin going on. Gaia and Alaya say that you are a servant, and because of that, they can see your parameter or at least some of it. When they see you CAN destroy this planet and reality, they decided to approach you peacefully."
"I see, but why do they make you do it?"
"Well, because I tell them you are the user of Kaleidoscope?"
Kojiro looks at Zelretch with a deadpan stare before sighing and says.
"Goddammit Zelretch"
"What? I can't just lie to the embodiment of this Planet and the consciousness of Humanity!"
"Fine, so what is their reaction when you tell them one of my abilities is a Kaleidoscope?"
"Hilarious, At first Gaia want to banish you using her authority as the planet to the other universe, but after I say you have Kaleidoscope she began to sulking"
"Ha, that must be hilarious."
Both Kojiro and Zelretch then drink the rest of the sake in silence while enjoying the moonlight. When the sake bottle is empty, Zelretch and Kojiro get up and prepare to go to the Clock Tower.
"Now, let's go to the clock tower."
Zelretch raises his cane, and suddenly a portal appears in front of them.
"Come on."
As they walk through the portal, He can see many people already surrounding the portal. There are even some people that he knows from the anime and visual novel. The first one that he recognizes is Barthomeloi Lorelei, the Queen of London Clock Tower. The second person he knows is Lev Lainur Flauros, the same man that causes the Grand Order to happen. He doesn't know which type of person he is, will he be the man that commits suicide when the Demon God possesses his body or the man that accept it. The last person he knows is Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, the holder of title Brand: Color in the Mage Association and also the master of Lancer in the Holy Grail War, Kojiro don't know how he can be in the Clock Tower right now, but here he is.

"Assassin, what are you doing here?!?"
Kayneth shouts at Kojiro when he sees Kojiro walk with Zelretch from the portal.
"Hold your tongue Lord Melloi. He is not the Assassin participating in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War."
"What?"
"Yes, he is the traveler and also my guest."
"But…"
"He is also the user of Second True Magic Kaleidoscope, now excuse me."
After Zelretch says that, he can see the shocked expression of the other magus inside the building. However, he also sees greed in people inside the building as well, especially the older members of the Mage Association.
"Zelretch, you make the portal appears in the middle of the Clock Tower on purpose, right?"
"Heh, yup. Looking at their shocked expressions makes me happy. Especially the older members of the Mage Association. Stuck up old prick."
"Goddammit Zelretch"
"Hey, just admit it. It was a fun experience, right?"
"Yeah, I guess I must admit that was a funny face they had. Also, you can't say they are old because you are older than them, you know."
"HAH, Let me tell you, Maybe I'm older than them in number, but my spirit is younger than anyone in this building."
"Yeah, that's why you build that annoying Kaleido stick, huh."
"Oho, you know about my masterpiece?"
"Yeah, I know them."
They then stop their talk when they arrive at the room with a double door decorated in fancy jewelry. As Zelretch opened the door, He could see the amount of mana in the air. The mana inside the room is both pure and dense. If the mana on the outside is like water, then inside this room is like mud. He then looked at the people sitting down on the couch, the first person… No… A being sitting on the couch is a woman wearing a skimpy cloth that only covers her huge asset and her holy region. The next being has a form of a child wearing a simple light green robe that covers her entire body; weirdly enough, the robe is bigger than the one wearing them. If Zelretch didn't fill him in, he would guess that those two are a mother and daughter, but now he knows that both of them are the will of the planet and humanity given form. Both of them have the same face, and the one that makes them different is their body size and their hair. The child has a light green color while the woman has a light blue color.
"Kojiro, let me introduce you to Gaia and Alaya. The one that has the form of a child is Gaia, the will of the planet, and the one that is wearing skimpy clothes is Alaya, the will of Humanity."
"Greeting Gaia Alaya"
As Kojiro says that, both of them look at him from head to toe, then speak.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sasaki Kojiro"
After he says that, Gaia walks toward him and looks at him closely. He can see her examine his entire body from top to bottom. He can see a weird looking squirrel on top of her head, giving him a cute glare. If he doesn't know any better, then he would call it a harmless creature, but because he knows the lore, then he knows the danger that squirrel looking creature possesses.
After looking at him for a few minutes, Gaia nodded a little and looked at him with sparkle inside her eyes then said.
"En. Good person."
"What?"

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
