[1st POV]
Exiting the apartment through the front door, I then blended into the pedestrians on the street.
So this is Japan... I've never been to Japan before, I've only seen it from anime or vlog content to Japan.
It's really very different from where I lived before. Here there are more pedestrians than vehicles, whereas in my country, people used to ride vehicles and there were almost no pedestrians. (Of course, there are almost no sidewalks, and if there are any, they are used by vendors to sell their goods, lol)
Walking past a commercial area, I stopped for a moment and looked through the glass of a shopping building.
I didn't stop to shop for anything, that is if Kurumi had the money. I stopped when I saw my reflection in the shop window.
I know I've looked at myself in the mirror before, but that was to confirm something and the clothes I was wearing. Now I started to see my reflection through the windows and started to judge my face.
I has pearly skin and long, black hair tied in long twin tails. My right eye is red-tinted while the others appears as a golden, inorganic clock face, which is covered by my bangs.
"Hmm... no wonder Kurumi is my first waifu..." I said with my hand brushing my bangs back a bit to reveal my left eye.
That's right, Date a Live was the first anime I watched because my weeaboo friend told me to when we were in high school. And I rewatched it again a year before season 5 started.
Without realizing it, I started blushing a little. So I quickly brushed it off and continued on my way.
Well, now there's something I'm thinking about. Since I became a girl, do I still like girls? or do I like guys now?
Ugh... there's no way I'll like girls anymore now... I hate homosexuals. But I still feel a bit weird about liking a man. I was a man before, so it would definitely feel weird.
But if Mono says so, my feelings for Shido will be doubled. So, in conclusion, I'd be more inclined to like a guy especially him, I think.
There's only one way to make sure of that. But I'll leave that for later, I have something else to do right now.
Learning my abilities.
Even though I've watched Date a Live up to the last season, season 5, I've started to forget the characters' abilities here (easily forget a think lol). There are still things I remember, but I only know the surface and don't delve deeper into them.
Including Kurumi's abilities, she uses her spirit abilities using her musket and flintlock pistol. And the cloning ability too, but I don't know how to use or activate it.
So that's why I started walking towards a quiet place where there was no one. It seems like the forest is a good choice.
Well, I guess I'm on my way there now.
(Few hours later~~)
It was now evening and I was already in a fairly deep forest.
People will surely wonder why this beautiful girl is walking towards the forest in the evening?
Little did they know, this girl was not just any girl but a Spirit known as Nightmare.
This forest feels peaceful and the air feels fresher. The evening sky offers a stunning view with a charming mix of blue, orange, pink and purple colors as the sun sets.
In front of me, there was a cat that had just come out of the bushes! But when I approached it, it ran away...
Welp, let's stop the monologue, and start reading.
I then sat on one of the tree trunks, looked for a comfortable position and started to read the paper.

The author is so lazy that he even took the words description from wikipedia. Few abilities are modified but not entirely changed
_____
Spirit data:
Strength: 109
Consistency: 80
Reiryoku: 220
Agility: 103
Intelligence: 201
Angel: Zafkiel ("Time Emperor")
Weapon: Clock, Flintlock Pistol & Musket (other weapon can work too)
Astral Dress: Elohim ("Spirit Dress of God's Authority, Number 3")
Zafkiel is an S-ranked Angel that takes the form of a large clock with Roman numerals, accompanied by an archaic pistol and musket that serve as its hour and minute hands respectively.
Time Manipulation:
Through a combination of using time, shadows, and Reiryoku as fuel, Kurumi can manipulate time through her bullets. Her flintlock pistol and musket both possess special bullets that can cause different effects on the subject's time depending on the number of the bullet.
To activate any power she needs, she first needs to call her Angel (regardless of whether the Angel has been summoned already or not) and position her flintlock at the number of the bullet on the Angel, in which the power is loaded from the number into her firearm. Next, she fires that loaded gun at her target; if Kurumi intends to use the effect on herself, then she shoots herself. The bullets take effect the instant they connect with their target, and they do not cause injury despite appearing no different from the bullets used offensively.
The downside of these bullets is that they consume her time, or in other words, her life force. This is visually represented by the clock in her left eye moving clockwise. The cost also differs between bullets, in which one may cost more time than the other. For the last two bullets, they can even cost her her entire remaining time. If Kurumi cannot use one of the bullets, its corresponding numeral on
• First Bullet Aleph: Accelerates external time on its target. Kurumi frequently uses this bullet to increase her own speed in battle.
• Second Bullet Bet: Slows down the external time on its target. Used to stall an approaching enemy, this bullet is an alternative to the Seventh Bullet in case Kurumi wants to save time.
• Third Bullet Gimmel: Speeds up internal time to cause the subject to age.
• Fourth Bullet Dalet: Rewinds time on a target. However, despite restoring physical injuries, it cannot resurrect those who are already dead.
• Fifth Bullet Hei: Allows Kurumi to see a glimpse of the future. Overuse of this bullet strains Kurumi's mind from the sheer amount of visions seen.
• Sixth Bullet Vav: Sends the consciousness of its target into the body of a past version of themselves. Consequently, since only the mind is sent back, the Reiryoku and time spent on traveling are reset with every loop, which allows this bullet to be used repeatedly until accumulated mental fatigue proves too much for the user. Unlike the Twelfth Bullet, the user isn't able to control the exact time period they return to, and they are only able to travel back to a few days at maximum regardless of how much time is used. However, the user will remain in the past indefinitely. Due to giving a thank you kiss to Shido for saving her from Kotori, this bullet was left sealed for Kurumi after the events of Volume 4.
• Seventh Bullet Zayin: Temporarily freezes the target's time.
• Eighth Bullet Het: Creates a temporal clone of the target.
• Ninth Bullet Tet: Allows Kurumi to share her senses with someone on a different time axis. Due to her rarely getting to use this bullet, Kurumi admits it still takes a fair degree of effort to share her thoughts.
• Tenth Bullet Yud: Peeks into the past of any object struck. By using this bullet on herself, Kurumi was able to regain her memories from her amnesia.
• Eleventh Bullet Yud Aleph: Sends its target to the future. The distance of time traveled forward is exponentially proportional to the amount of time and Reiryoku spent. After the effects of the bullet wears off, users are sent back to their original time period.
• Twelfth Bullet Yud Bet: Sends its target to the past. It shares the same drawback as the Eleventh Bullet in terms of cost for the length of time traveled, and likewise sends its users back to their original time period after the effect wears off. As seen from Kurumi experimenting with this bullet on both Origami and Shido, this method of time travel to the past can cause either stable time loops or alter the course of history.
City of Devouring of Time:
While Kurumi's Angel is very powerful, it consumes a bit of her time (life force) each time she uses her special bullets. In order to replenish her life force, Kurumi possesses the ability to absorb the time of anyone who steps into the boundary of her shadow. In order to target a large crowd, she can summon a red barrier that serves a similar function, which she calls the City of Devouring Time. While consuming time, her clock eye spins counterclockwise. Kurumi can drain her victims' time to the extent that they would perish.
Clones:
Combined with the power of the Eighth bullet, she can create a clone that has all her experiences, memories, and abilities; they use her guns, summon and dismiss Spacequakes at will, and even summon the
However, her clones are weaker than the real Kurumi, and they cannot use the time-manipulating bullets of her Angel. The physical abilities and lifespan of the clones are scaled in accordance with the amount of time used for the Eighth Bullet. In other words, in order to produce longer-lasting clones, Kurumi needs to expend even greater amounts of time. Also, as these are her past selves, they sometimes may contain feelings that the current Kurumi no longer possesses. As such, Kurumi will not hesitate to kill these clones if they choose to disobey her. In desperate situations, the time used to create the clones can also be sacrificed as a direct fuel for her other bullets.
If a clone is killed, her body will dissolve into shadows. If the original Kurumi dies, the clones will all disappear. However, Kurumi was able to temporarily keep one clone alive by sending it into the future with her Eleventh Bullet. She was even able to transfer her memories and Sephira Crystal to a clone before the original body was killed, though this requires preparation. Consequently, Kurumi then had to restore her original body with the Fourth Bullet and then re-transferred everything back to her original body in order to fully stabilize her condition.
Shadow Manipulation:
Kurumi is able to quickly enter any shadow for a speedy escape. The territory within her own shadow serves as her own personal pocket dimension. According to Kurumi, her shadows are composed of two layers. The first layer is a free storage space where she can safely deposit and summon her clones at any given moment. The second layer is a digestive stomach where she breaks down victims to absorb their time. Since it's akin to looking into her own stomach, Kurumi is unable to check up or inspect victims that are sent to the latter area. Her ordinary bullets are also created from condensed portions of her shadow, allowing for a quick reload after each shot.
Clothes Manipulation:
ability to mentally influence, alter, or generate garments and accessories. Unlike broader matter manipulation, this power is specialized toward the fibers, textures, and structures of wearable items.
How to use it?: Just think about what you want to wear and shing! the clothes are ready to wear.
_____
Okay, I was certain that the Clothes Manipulation isn't Kurumi's original abilities. Maybe Mono know about that?
And for the last abilities...
??
Wait a minute.
Za Warudo?
I didn't read it wrong, right?
I'm sure Kurumi doesn't have this ability or any mention in the anime.
_____
Za Warudo:
Abilities to stop time. During stopped time, only Kurumi can freely move around. The forces of any action Kurumi performs in stopped time resumes normally when time returns to normal. Kurumi could only stop time for 5 seconds.
_____
What the hell!?
ZA WARUDO!?
What the heck is this Mono! Why is DIO's Stand ability here!?
[3rd POV]
(Somewhere in Japan...)
Mono was seen eating a double cheeseburger at a Burger King somewhere in Japan. He didn't wear a rat mask by the way.
Achhooo-
"Sniff- Eh? Looks like someone is bad mouthing me... Oh yeah, I forgot to tell that I modified her clone ability and added Za Warudo and Clothing Manipulation abilities. Maybe she's the one that bad mouths me."
After that he continued eating again.
[1st POV]
(Back to the forest)
Sigh
"Whatever, but this ability to stop time is also good." I said with a little relief. Actually, Za Warudo is an ability that is no joke.
Put the paper in my pocket, I stood up from where I was sitting and started walking towards the open area in front of me that had no trees.
I already know how to use Clothing Manipulation, but how do I make my weapons appear?
Visualize it? Like an someone summoning their weapon or sword?
Okay, let's try it first.
The weapons, if I'm not mistaken, are muskets and flintlock pistols...
I tried to visualize it then a dim light shone around my hands and revealed a pistol and a musket.
In my right hand I held a musket while in my left hand I held a flintlock pistol. Both guns are black with ornate gold, and silver detailing.
Wow... this is my first time holding a gun.
The musket weighed about 5 kilos while the flintlock pistol probably weighed 1 kilos.
Now I want to try one of the 12 bullets first... First, summon the Angel and then name the bullet you want to use. But what bullets are suitable for now?
Oh!
It seems like the Eighth Bullet (Het) is a good fit for now. I'll Just try summoning my clone first.
"Okay, even though Kurumi has done this before, I, who is currently inhabiting Kurumi's body, am the first to do this. Gulp- I'm getting goosebumps, I hope it works."
"Come to me, Zafkiel!"
I said aloud and then a big clock appearing behind me. Woah! so it's work. Alright then...
"Het"
A red line appears from the Roman numeral 8 towards the flintlock.
Even though I felt doubtful, I pointed the gun at my head from the side.
Then pull the pistols trigger-
Click-Bang!
To be continued...
===== ===== =====
A/N
Oh boy, this was supposed to be a short chapter but thanks to Kurumi's ability information it became a long one :p
It's very unexpectedly for me to write this fast. Usually, it'll take a week just for 1 chapter like before but HOO LEE SHEET I never thought the new chapter will be released this fast.
But writing the next chapter will be slow because tomorrow there is the final exam, and next week there is a practical exam and in the end of month I think I'm applying for a job (the world hates me lol)
See you in the next chapter!
