It took me 30 minutes to get her off me apparently why she's so clingy is because tricksters were part of her ancestor race.

I got basic information about this world from her. Monsters have come out to the world around two years ago. They don't like to be called monsters though and agreed to the term liminal. They've got some type of Exchange program which confuses me greatly. Where exactly are the humans they're Exchanging going? I tried asking but she wouldn't say. I'm not sure how big this Earth is compared to my own I don't think it's any at all that different. I'm in Japan how different could it be? Could it be somewhere similar to the cognitive world? Is this what Arsene meant when he said that there may be areas in this world I could use my powers without restriction?

Beings capable of copying the powers and appearances of multiple species that's what a trickster is in this world. She claims tricksters saved multiple liminal species from going extinct because they could reproduce children for them claiming they can become either gender yet they became extinct themselves because they were too busy helping other races. Doppler is a Doppelganger that race was created when a baby born from tricksters couldn't keep its appearance and could later change it at will. This type of baby could be born within any race they mated with. They're like a weaker version of a trickster they just can't copy magic. The only way for another trickster could have been born is if a trickster mated with another trickster.

I looked up more information about tricksters from my world trying to figure out exactly what a trickster was because 'Igor' kept calling me one. The most basic information I got from the internet is that they're beings with amazing intellect that either play pranks on people or defy rules and normal behavior.

The only trickster I remember that has that sort of power that Doppel described was Loki the Trickster God from Norse mythology which happens to be Akechi's persona. Loki screwed anything that could move going from wolves to horses and often appearing as an old woman.

"Well, Loki did give birth to a six-legged horse." I muttered as I was thinking. We're sitting on the bed as we talk.

"What? I don't remember that being in the movies?"

I looked at her with a confused expression. Apparently, in this world, American comic books are being made into movies that happened to feature Norse mythology as characters. She told me Thor was blood-driven in the first movie which sounds more like his mythology counterpart but he was humbled out when he got to Earth. This might be problematic as Thor may change if I summon him I guess I can just ask him if he feels any different. I quickly switched my main Persona to Thor.

'Hey, Thor feel any different?'

'No.'

'That's anti-climactic. Nothing at all?'

'I don't feel any different so you can hurry up and figure out how to summon us I wanna kill something.'

'Alright, alright maybe later.' I switched my main back to Arsene. Figured I could at least ask him magic.

'Hey Arsene buddy, pal, old friend of mine.'

'Screw off! What do you want?'

'Can you teach me your magic?'

'...What?'

'Can you teach me your magic please?'

'Of course!'

'Really?'

'No.'

'Come on man you don't know what it's like to be my age and don't know magic! All the other magicians laugh at me! You don't want to live that sort of life!'

'The hell are you talking about?! I can't teach you any magic because your cognition knows I can't use magic!"

'What are you talking about? When I awakened you, you were using weak curse magic were you not?'

'True but you read one of the books I was featured in and figured out I don't know any magic. You need to ask a persona that has a background entirely for Magic.'

'You mean Isis or Thoth?'

'Any God could theoretically teach you magic.'

'I guess that-' My thoughts were interrupted as two things entered the sides of my mouth immediately pulling my mouth apart with little effort.

"Why do you have that expression when you're thinking?" (Doppel)

"I don't want to talk about it, how much of our conversation did you hear?"

"All of it the cameras have sound." (Doppel) Although she didn't mention bugs I bet they're all over the 'apartment'. I wonder can I see bugs?

"Well, that's just great. Can I leave this room anytime soon? I need clothes and something to eat."

Doppel didn't look at me as she said "Legally you can't leave the room right now unless you have to use the bathroom."

"What? Why?"

"It's protocol after Smith leaves although I can get you clothes and something to eat."

"Don't bother then. When did she leave?"

"Not too long ago, she has to go to Bae's house."

"Bae?" Does that pushy woman have a boyfriend?

"Yep, he's gonna be your host family." She said it with a stupid grin on her face.

"What? Why do I need a host family?"

"Well you don't have any identification nor record here. So you can't buy a house. But her being there now has nothing to do with you. She's just explaining what it means to be a host family to him." (Doppel)

"Wait how does he not know you have to apply to be a host family?" (Akira)

"Yeah but he never applied to be one." (Doppel)

"I'm being shipped off to someone that wants no part of this?!" (Akira)

"Not technically he's already hosting one. But because the liminal doesn't wanna go he's stuck with her." (Doppel)

"That seems a bit unfair. Wait if he never signed up why was he chosen to be a host?" (Akira)

"Smith claims it was an accident I think she did it on purpose. Don't worry he's nice and a provider I'm sure he'll take you in no questions ask. That's at least what I'm told." (Doppel)

"Never met him?" (Akira)

"MON activities happened across all of Japan I don't have enough time to meet one person." (Doppel)

"Still feels like I'm taking advantage of him-" I was interrupted as my door slammed open. It was the red-headed woman from before.

"Alright your hours up my turn." (Bina?)

"But I'm still talking to him!" (Doppel)

"Yeah about that why are you so open and nice with him? You're never this talkative with us, none of us even knew about tricksters being part of your race!" (Bina?)

"And so what he's a trickster! A TRICKSTER!!!" (Doppel)

"And! Tricksters are probably different from where he's from!" (Bina?)

This is getting sort of tenses I should change the subject. "Are the Tricksters some sort of deities to the Doppelgangers?"

"More or less." She said turning to me completely ignoring the redhead.

"Don't let her trick you she's a shapeshifter." (Bina?)

She then got pissed and jumped off the bed then covered the redhead's mouth shut with her hair. "No Doppelgangers would ever call themselves Shapeshifters!"

This shocked me as I got up from the bed to try to diffuse the situation. "Alright, alright let's just calm down here. Let's just follow protocol. Doppel how about you take your break to cool off for a while."

She then looked at me with a pissed-off expression that looked more ominous because of her eye color. "Fine!" She then got in front of the redhead which she promptly moved aside so Doppel could exit the room. She slammed the door I'm guessing with her hair after she left the room.

"Haha sorry, she's not usually like that." (Bina?)

"Eh no worries." (Akira)

I then got a better look at the redheaded woman and figured I should put on some clothes but what should I put on? Some of the 'outfits' I have in my inventory just gives weird effects in the Meta-verse as in making me smaller and animated I don't want to explain any of that if something does happen I should wear something normal. I'll go with my regular summer clothes. I'll leave my black shirt in my inventory and use the shirt I'm wearing now as my undershirt and leave the rest the same. I'll leave the shoes and socks in the inventory tho.

"Whatcha thinking about?" She said with a toothy flirty tone and she noticed my gaze. She's wearing a skin-tight yellow and black combat suit.

"Something I'm not willing to explain." I replied as I turned my back towards her. Pulling the clothes out of my inventory.

"If you had clothes why didn't you put them on sooner?" (Bina?)

"Haven't had the time nor choice besides I usually go with the flow... In situations, I can control." I muttered that last part. It was at that point where I had put my pants on when the redhead walked over towards me throw her arm over my neck dragging me down into some sort of hug... More like chokehold this woman's strong.

"Ah come on don't be all serious all the time." (Bina?)

"Bina is it... No promises." The last time I relax my guard someone died.

"Oh right Zombina is my name most of my friends call me Bina tho nice to meet'ch." (Bina)

"Kurusu Akira likewise." After I replied she strengthen her grip around my neck pulling me around. I need to stop this now. "Can I finish putting my clothes on?" I asked trying to breathe.

"Oh sure." She released me quite easily and plopped down right on the bed. After I got my dress shirt on I sat next to her. Open the inventory and pulled out a Big Bang Burger took off the wrapper and started eating.

"Not fair! Do you got another one?" I then looked at her opened up the inventory again and tossed her one. I didn't want to seem rude and reply with food in my mouth. "Yes!" She seems too happy as she ate.

I then notice the door open slightly to see Doppel peek in through the crack of the door with an annoyed angry expression as if she's telling me 'I can't believe you're doing this without me'. If we were in an anime I swear you could see the word stare above the door. I motioned for her to come in luckily Doppel and Zombina ignored each other not wanting to start another fight. after she sat to the other side of me I gave her, her burger. As I was about to take another bite out of my burger.

Stareeeee~

I felt another pair of eyes on me I looked towards the door and saw another pair of eyes not much of an angry and annoyed expression but more curiosity. I don't know who it is Smith isn't here and I've never seen her eyes. I'm motioned for her to come in the expression in her eyes change from shocked then looked to the side sheepishly.

"You can come in."

The eyes look shocked again before her eyes disappeared and the door opens. Who appeared was the woman that 'took my breath away' aka the woman who knocked me out last night. I opened up the inventory once again and tossed her a burger.

She caught the burger in surprise not expecting me to throw her one or maybe she needs another one? She is big. "You're not mad?" she asked.

"Hm not really you were only doing your job." (Akira) Besides my girlfriend blackmailed me before we got together so having my breath taken away that way is fine by me.

She showed a smile before she rushed towards me saying "Thank you~" she then shoves me back into her bosom once again. I was a deer caught in headlights nothing I could do she moved too fast and I couldn't avoid her. She's wearing loose everyday clothes I can feel everything. I tried to move my shoulders wanting to pat her back indicating that I needed air but they were completely 'blocked. Luckily her grip loosen before completely disappearing as I heard "Chill Tio your gonna knock him out again!" She released me as she apologized.

"It's fine your expressive I get it I have a friend like you." Not exactly he's needier tho and often screams at me to go to bed at least he warms my bed.

"Ahh, I just wanna hug him again. Oh before I forget my names Tionishia but everyone calls me Tio."

I offered my hand to her as I introduced myself with a smile. "Kurusu Akira." I don't know how to explain it her aura seems claiming in a way. She didn't just accept my handshake she immediately pulled me into a hug but not as rough as the last one more gentle. I wanted to hug back but I simply couldn't her giant breast blocked my shoulders from moving. I had a red face after she released me. Zombina and Doppel were laughing at my expression.

"Where's my burger?" I dropped it when she came in for the first hug.

I found it completely unwrapped everywhere on the floor yep not eating that. I just grabbed another one from my inventory.

Stareeeee~

Again! I looked over at the door and found one eye staring at me. Why am I not surprised? I motion for the one-eyed person to come in I can't tell what their expression is. When she came in she was wearing everyday clothes with a red face as if she was about to burst into flames.

"Are you ok? Are running a fever?" I asked with genuine concern.

"N-No. I-I'm fine." (???) I can barely hear her.

"Do you wanna burger?" She closes her eyes as she shakes her head up and down before she stopped. I guess she's not good with strangers. I then passed the burger to Zombina. "Can you pass it to her I think she's afraid of me?"

"Aww and here I thought you were giving me another one." (Bina)

"Do you want another one?"

"Nah tasted more normal than I thought." (Bina) Zombina then got up and handed the burger to the one-eyed girl then sat back to where she was sitting.

"I agree with Bina taste too much like Burger King." (Doppel)

"Burger wha?"

Tionishia then chimed in with her comment as she was eating. "Did you buy these at some fast-food establishment?"

"Y-Yeah." I can't believe they're ganging up on me even after I gave them food.

She then looked at me with a fierce expression "I hope you're not eating these every day it's bad for your health."

"I hardly eat these!" (Akira)

"Then why do you have so many?" (Doppel)

"They'll cheap and easy to get where I'm from. I'll only eat them in case of an emergency as in being stranded in a forest. The last time I ate one of these was a few months ago and that was at the restaurant itself. I was with a few friends taking part in a food challenge."

"Couldn't you have bought something a little bit healthier?" (Tio)

I shake my head no as I responded "I'm a kid I don't have much money." Ehehe bald-faced lie I'm just cheap.

"Let It go Tio who cares he shared." (Bina)

I nodded my head at that response after I finish my burger I wrapped up the burger that fell with the wappers. Then gave the burger to Doppel asking her to throw it away instead the one-eyed girl approached and said that she would do it introducing herself as Manako. I guess she relaxed as we talked she even took shots of how bad the burger was. I will never let them try my curry.

Everyone just left the room afterward leaving the door wide open. Like I mean your basically offering. I went to the bathroom and relieved myself after I left the bathroom Doppel was out at the entrance waiting for me.

"Let's go watch a movie!" She said as she immediately wrapped me up in her hair and drag me to the living room where everyone else was sitting I didn't protest as I didn't want to be locked in that room. All of them occupied the couch leaving no room for us. Manako was reading a book while the other two were watching a zombie flick.

"I wanna show him the marvel movies!" (Doppel)

"Noo! I just started this!" (Bina)

"On my break time!" (Doppel)

"...Fine!" She said as she threw the TV remote at us which she caught. She then changes the TV input to an app called Vudu as she was scrolling through movie titles she released me as she was doing it.

"Oh about that I thought I wasn't supposed to leave the room?" I turned as I asked Tio.

"Right but where would you go? You know that you're not from here that's why you've been completely honest with us so far." Zombina responded before Tio could.

"..." What could I say she was right. I have nothing here honestly it's quite sad. It's not like I want to be here. God, now I'm not in the mood to watch a movie anymore. But if I go back to that room Doppel most likely will drag me out to watch them. They have a recliner but I don't enjoy sitting on those never can get comfortable so I decided to sit on the floor with my back against the right end of the couch right next to Tios legs.

I saw a lot of different movie options on this Smart TV App. I even saw this world's version of The Cake Knight Rises it is called The Dark Knight Rises. In my opinion, it sounds better here. Doppel finally stopped at a movie called Captain America the First Avenger and rented it right then and there. She then looked over to the recliner and saw that I wasn't there before looking around the room and saw me sitting on the floor.

"Why aren't you sitting on the recliner?" (Doppel)

"I prefer harder surfaces." (Akira)

She didn't click her tongue and she went and sat down on the recliner. Don't tell me was she planning on sharing it?

"I thought we were watching Thor?" (Akira)

"We'll get to it but we have to watch a few movies first before that one so you can understand the story better." (Doppel) I don't care about the story though most American movies in my world were boring... They're not boring per se it's just our cultures are too different for me to enjoy them. (A/N- Spider-Man is the most popular Marvel movie series in Japan because the main character is a kid instead of an adult)

I shrug my shoulders and begin watching it. Halfway through Zombina got up and left saying that she already saw it and that it was boring to re-watch it. Tionishia then took the center seat and asked me if I wanted to sit next to her but I declined. I was happy when the movie ended it wasn't that good in my opinion Steven hardly fought Red Skull. Doppel immediately started searching for the next movie before stopping at Iron Man.

"How many more until Thor?" (Akira)

"Including this one, three." (Doppel)

"Noo!" (Akira)

"It's not that bad." (Doppel)

"It is." (Manako)

Doppel puffed her cheeks out in an angry and annoyed expression before clicking play. After that movie ended we watched The Incredible Hulk. Manako left during Iron Man that gave Tionishia the entire couch to nap on. The only thing I like about these movies are the after-credit scenes. It was interesting to see Tony Stark talking to General Ross at the end of the movie. Right before we were about to start Iron Man 2 Smith came in.

"What's going on here?" Smith asked before she got a notification on her phone driving her attention to her phone instead of us.
