Chapter 8: Infinite Graduate Student Tsukuyomi.

[Ah, Ahjussi! Ahjussi! Look at this! Above!

“Huh? What’s that suddenly………… Why did you suddenly bring up some kind of log?”

[I, I didn’t bring it up! It just suddenly appeared without me doing anything………….]

Who else besides you could bring up an illusion to me, a ghost?

Besides, it says Shizuko-chan Log at the very top, your log?

“So, what is that after all?”

[I, I don’t know………… But suddenly my antenna reacted, and something was transmitted………….]

Usually, such a person is called a denpa-kei in Japan.

In our glorious Korean expression, it’s 4D.

You know, at university, the kids who are said to be eccentric by the people around them, and who captivate men like me who were on the outcast level.

But strangely enough, when you confess to them, that 4D instantly loses a dimension and becomes a realistic 3D, and they become f*cking rational?

In fact, at this point, didn’t I choose the wrong major?

Shouldn’t I have gone to medical school, even if it was pre-med? The cure rate was 100%?

[Ah, Ah! It, It’s coming………… Something is tingling in my head…………! My, My brain is trembling…………!]

And now, our Jinzuko seemed to be in urgent need of treatment.

[Ah, Ah………… As if the energy of the universe is calling me………… It keeps telling me to inform you of something…………….]

So, just as I was thinking about returning her to normal by confessing to her if she imitated 4D one more time,

[Se, Se, Seven………… Re, Review………… Seven………… Ah.]

Jinzuko told me the message from the universe, as she called it, with an expression of realizing something.

[Th, That…………… It says, “Review episode 7″……………?]

It was a sound that I didn’t understand 1, let alone 7.

“Well, but according to that unidentified log, if you ‘saw that log after 10:41 PM on January 22, 2025’,

wouldn’t it be ‘okay not to review it’?”

[Ah, that’s right too. The universe says.]

—Beep beep! Beep!

[Ah, it’s coming again. It says, “If you saw it before 10:41 PM on January 22, 2025, but it’s still a hassle to review it, it’s okay not to, and it won’t be a big problem”! ]

[Ah, and also…………… “Anyway, in the end, Jinzuko is called a s*ave and written as a graduate student, it’s the same………….”]

[Wh, What is this universe…………! So rude!]

Jinzuko shook her head violently as if she didn’t mean to send it.

Then, Jinzuko’s white, idiot-hair bangs, which seemed to be receiving something, sank back down.

Jinzuko’s ghost skills are truly amazing no matter when I see them.

Or maybe it’s just that Shizuko’s schizophrenia is getting worse in real time.

[I’m still a fresh middle school girl, but I’m a ghost! But I’m definitely not a s*ave!]

“Haha, but there are some similarities.”

[What?! Where?!]

When I sympathized with the will of the universe more than her, Jinzuko began to appeal to me even more as if she had grown horns. Showing me the sailor uniform that was slightly hazy because she was a ghost, but still fluttering, as if it were an ID card, Jinzuko’s appearance seemed to prove that she was still a middle school girl.

The sight of a middle school girl with the exact same appearance as me, only with the colors inverted, suddenly flirting with me was truly precious and bizarre.

“Well, well, I know very well that you’re a middle school girl. Let’s go to work.”

[………Huh? Work? Not school?]

“It’s similar, right? Whatever you call it.”

[???]

Jinzuko tilted her head at my words.

I don’t understand your reaction even more.

Why is she like this today?

“Sigh~ Anyway, I stayed up all night yesterday, so I’m going to leave it to you today.”

[Leave it to me? Leave what to me?]

“Yeah, my body. It’s your body too.”

[Ye, Yes?]

“Anyway, I’ll be sleeping for a while, so like usual, you possess me and go to work instead, and prepare for the experiment……… Sigh~”

[I still don’t have enough ghost power, so I don’t have the skills for that yet………… And suddenly preparing for an experiment…………… What………… Ah. I get it. You mean the thought experiment you were talking about earlier? But I don’t think I’ve heard an explanation of what that is yet………….]

“What thought experiment? The professor would never acknowledge that. Why are you backing out? Yesterday, you did well without help in front of me.”

[Ye, Yes? Yesterday, for the first time today, I just met you, ahjussi, and because of that bathroom problem………… So I just started practicing for the first time…………… Yo……?]

“Hmm, this is a new template I’m seeing.”

Even if you don’t like studying, experimenting, and researching.

It’s been exactly one year tomorrow since we met, you and I, what are you talking about?

“Just don’t be stubborn, and if you really don’t want to do it, just turn on the laser and check it.”

[Ah, no, so! I don’t know what you’re talking about from earlier-]

[ Huh?! Come to think of it, this neighborhood is completely new to me………… Where is this…………… Ah. Th, This isn’t Japanese. Th, This is……… Ko, Korean?]

“I got it, I got it. I didn’t forget that tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of you and me meeting………… As you said, you came here to Daejeon…………… I reserved that Myeongnyeon-dong lobster restaurant that you said you wanted to try once next year…………… So the rest, sigh…………. Just wake me up when it’s time for lunch, and I’ll take care of the rest….. Zzz.”

[Ah, Ahjussi! If, If you suddenly fall asleep on the street, what should I do…………! Ahjussi? Ah, Ahjussi! Ahjussi…………?!!]

Immediately after, when Gazuko fell asleep, Jinzuko automatically took over her body.

After that, she really met many, many different people.

-Oh? It’s Shizuko. Hi Shizuko~ You’re early to work again today~ Are you going to the lab~? You look a little tired, did you stay up late broadcasting again yesterday?

-Sh, Shizuko! Please help me! I took a big leap and applied for quantum mechanics in graduate school this time, but I really don’t understand a single word……………! I’ll sponsor your broadcast tonight, so please save me…………!!

-Haha, the de facto number one in our school has arrived. Until now, there was no one higher than a goose in our school, but now you are number 0. But fame is sometimes poison. But it’s okay. From the moment you come to our lab, that is, from the moment you become my no………… no, graduate student, no matter how much you are, you will be the lowest in this school. Haha.

-Oh my~ isn’t it Shizuko? I was looking for her. My child, after seeing Shizuko, suddenly said that he would become a man worthy of being by Shizuko’s side, and suddenly started studying, which he didn’t do before? So, do you have any thoughts about tutoring? Ah, yes. I was just asking you to think about it, hohoho. Well, buy some snacks with this. I put in a lot. Oh, my~ I’m just giving it to you because you’re cute. Hohoho! Well, maybe there’s a little bit of meaning that I’m asking you to take care of him……?

-Huf, huf……… Shi, Shijuko-chan………… I, I have something to tell you…… I…… I sponsored 690,000 won yesterday………… and then sponsored 740,000 won…………… nickname 6974………… Th…………… you remember…………? You have to remember………… I’ve spent over 100 million won on your broadcasts so far…………!! So 5 years later, when you become an adult……………! With the premise of marriage……………! Accept my feelings…………!! I can even become a kamikaze for you……………!!!

-Ah, I found her! Here! She’s here! Interview target Amae Shizuko! Japanese international student Amae Shizuko, who entered KAIST at the youngest age! Hello?! We are from a Korean broadcasting station…………… Ah, she’s running away! Hurry up and follow her!! We’ll definitely get an interview this time!

-Th…………… Are you free for a moment? We are from YM Entertainment…………… I’m manager Kim Dong-woo, and we are preparing to launch a new multinational idol group…… Ga

-Oh-ho, Shizuko! Here you are! I’ve been looking for you. Well, yesterday on your stream, your new approach to the possibilities of quantum computing! That was truly unbelievable! There are so many geniuses in this industry, but you stand out among them all! And you’re just a middle school girl!

-Squawk!!! Squawk! Squawk!! (Human bitches!!! Where do you think you’re stepping into this west side, which we have designated as the area where we poop every day, in front of the goose-sama, the number one in this school!!)

[No, no!! What the hell is going on?!]

-Hello~ We are doing a psychological survey as a group assignment this time~ Ah, your face looks very dark~ Hello, classmate……… Do you, have any worries~? I also get a lot of stress from studying here, so I know a very good place~ Ah, it’s cold, shall we go to a cafe and talk a little more?

[Kyaaak?! He, Help me…………! Ahjussi-!! Please!!! Sob~~~!!!]

Jinzuko, who was floating around the room like a ghost, sleeping [Cooool~Zzz].

[……………Kyaaak?!!]

She finally woke up with a shrill scream.

It seems that Jinzuko’s special debugging “Infinite Graduate Student Tsukuyomi” is finally over.
