[ Miyuki Shirogane (Love Is War): "Is this how all restaurants do their promotions?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "No, that person's voice sounds so familiar." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "You guys feel the same way, right?" ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Indeed, it feels like I just heard it not long ago." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Isn't that the Doctor's voice from before?" ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Oh, right! No wonder it sounds so familiar!" ]

『 Finally, Mickey impatiently looked up and refused the waiter.
"Listen, we didn't order this."
When his gaze fell upon the waiter's face, he suddenly realized,
The newcomer was none other than the Doctor.
At this moment, the Doctor was constantly shaking the wine bottle in his hand.
Suddenly,
The cap popped open, and the cork flew straight towards Mickey.
The cork hit Mickey's face, causing no other damage,
Instead, it indented his face,
Like rubber, it quickly restored itself.
Then,
Mickey spat out the "swallowed" cork from his mouth.
At this point, Mickey decided to no longer hide his true identity.
His hand quickly transformed into a large shovel, attacking all around.
The Doctor seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and pulled off Mickey's.
This action terrified the customers in the restaurant,
Screams erupted, and chaos ensued. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Ah! His head can actually be taken off!!" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "As expected, it's a plastic person; there's no other structure at all." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "How amazing." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "What an amazing structure, how was this done?" ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "There's nothing inside, how does it move?" ]
[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "It seems that even after taking off its head, the other party's body can still move." ]
[ Kiyotaka Ayanokouji (Classroom of the Elite): "Since it's a plastic person, it should be possible to eliminate it with high temperatures, right?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Hard to say, what if it can still reassemble after high temperatures?" ]
[ Kiyotaka Ayanokouji (Classroom of the Elite): "This..." ]

『 Immediately after, on the screen, the Doctor and Rose were being relentlessly chased by a Mickey without his.
They ran frantically, arriving at the courtyard behind the restaurant.
Unfortunately, that door was somehow tightly locked; clearly, their escape route was blocked.
In the center of the courtyard stood a lone blue police box, both strange and somewhat familiar.
At this moment, the Doctor, in no hurry, calmly walked into the blue police box in the courtyard.
Before going in, he didn't forget to pull Rose, making her hide inside with him.
But, how much good could hiding in such a small wooden box do?
Yet, at this moment, there seemed to be no other options.
Rose hastily followed him into the police box, and as soon as she entered, she was stunned. 』

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "???" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "????" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Inside, it's actually so big!" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "It's larger on the inside than it appears on the outside—what kind of new technology is this?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "No wonder that police box disappeared suddenly before; it turns out it has this kind of technology inside." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "So, what kind of person is this Doctor after all?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "So big." ]
[ Yanfei (Genshin Impact): "This is a bit like our Serenitea Pot; both are small on the outside and big on the inside." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Serenitea Pot?" ]
[ Yanfei (Genshin Impact): "Oh, it's an immortal's magic treasure, very difficult to make." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "I see..." ]

『 As soon as Rose stepped into the blue police box, the door closed, and she turned to look at the impossibly spacious interior, her entire face filled with disbelief.
Immediately after, she swiftly pulled open the door and darted out.
She went back and forth, checking several times outside, confirming that the police box's exterior was indeed pitifully small, before she rushed back into this blue little world for a second time.
Rose's eyes widened as she looked around, her mind in a jumble.
Why did the inside of this police box feel so much bigger than the outside?
She wasn't crazy, nor was she dreaming.
On the other side,
The Doctor, who had been busy for a long time, finally managed to reattach the,
And began to explain to Rose.
"You're not from Earth, are you?" Rose recalled what the old man had said earlier,
She had been half-believing it, but now she was starting to believe it.
"That's right," the Doctor said sincerely.
"This is called the TARDIS, short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space." 』

[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "Short for Time And Relative Dimension, so you can travel through time and space with this?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Didn't they say before that the Doctor could appear in different times and spaces?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "It should be through this thing, right?" ]
[ Kurumi Tokisaki (Date a Live): "An instrument for traveling through time and space, so many things can be changed with this, right..." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "How about it, my TARDIS is pretty good, isn't it?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "It is indeed very magical." ]
[ .....]
『 Just as he was speaking, Rose suddenly burst into tears.
The Doctor understood; such cultural shock was quite common.
But Rose wasn't scared at this moment.
She was worried about her boyfriend Mickey's safety.
Upon hearing that the Doctor hadn't even considered this, her temper flared up.
The Doctor wanted to explain something,
When he suddenly noticed the plastic head on the console rapidly melting.
He had intended to use it to trace the signal source, but now it seemed the target's exact location couldn't be found.
For now, they could only find a nearby place to land.
After landing, Rose impatiently leaned against the TARDIS door, peering out, and was once again shocked by the sight before her.
Outside was no longer the restaurant's backyard, but a vast coast.
At this moment, she realized that this TARDIS was actually a spaceship, capable of instantly transporting her across space.
The Doctor, however, was filled with worry. The plastic head he had taken earlier had melted, and it was clear that the body connected to it would suffer the same fate.
And he currently had no extra time to trace the signal source.
The Doctor could feel that the plastic people would soon take action, and their time was running out.
Just as he was anxious about this, Rose kept bringing up Mickey, which made the Doctor somewhat irritated.
"Listen, even if I forgot about a kid named Mickey," the Doctor argued.
"No, he's not a kid!" Rose immediately retorted.
The Doctor ignored her and continued, "Anyway, that's because I'm busy saving other idiots on this planet, understand?!"
Rose was exasperated by the Doctor's words, "Do you think that's right?!"
"Yes, that's exactly how it is!" the Doctor firmly replied.
After calming down slightly, the Doctor explained to Rose.
It turned out that the smoke, oil, gas, toxins, and dioxins in the air on this planet were the nutrients the Nestene Consciousness needed.
Therefore, the Nestene was determined to have this planet and had implanted its consciousness into plastic bodies, controlling them to invade here.
But the key was that the consciousness needed a transmitter to send control signals to simultaneously command numerous plastic people.
What puzzled the Doctor was how a giant, metallic disc-shaped building, like a huge wheel or plate, could be hidden in such a small place as this foggy city without being noticed.
As he spoke, the Doctor paced to the railing, leaning against it in thought. At this moment, everyone was stunned by an object that appeared behind the Doctor. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Wait, isn't that thing exactly what fits?" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "This, it seems to be the London Eye. Will aliens carry out their plan here?" ]
[ Mai Sakurajima (Bunny Girl Senpai): "This place, isn't it too obvious? It shouldn't be, right?" ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Generally, no one would pay attention here, right?" ]
[ .....]
『 At this moment, Rose was listening to the Doctor's words,
And increasingly felt that the thing behind them was indeed perfect.
So, she quickly gestured to the Doctor, telling him to look back.
The Doctor quickly turned his head, then, with a bewildered expression, turned back again.
"Hm? What's wrong?"
At Rose's repeated eye signal, the Doctor turned back to look a second time.
"What exactly is going on?"
Rose smiled, pursing her lips, and said nothing.
The Doctor didn't dally, and soon he too discovered the blind spot.
He turned his head again, looking at the London Eye—the Ferris wheel—behind him.
Suddenly, something seemed to click in his mind.
His eyes widened.
"Fantastic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Doctor sprinted towards the magnificent Ferris wheel behind them.
Seeing this, Rose also quickly sped up, following closely behind the Doctor.
...On the way
After the two arrived below the London Eye, it wasn't long before they discovered the entrance to the underground base.
As soon as they entered, they immediately saw a large pool of lava churning in the space below.
That thing was the manifestation of the Nestene Consciousness, a living plastic material.
As she looked around, Rose caught sight of Mickey curled up not far away.
She never expected that the abducted Mickey was still alive.
The Doctor had known about this for a long time.
The Nestene Consciousness occasionally left captured people alive, not because it was merciful.
It did so purely to facilitate the creation of more replicas in the future.
At present, their most urgent task is to
Deal with this Nestene Consciousness.
But everyone could see that the Doctor at this time didn't seem to want to directly destroy the opponent,
But rather intended to give the opponent a glimmer of hope...
In the scene, the Doctor approached the lava, preparing to engage in peaceful negotiations with the Nestene Consciousness, based on the "Peace Treaty" and following Article 15 of the "Shadow Declaration."
"In my opinion, you are merely a technological means that has infiltrated this civilized world through improper methods."
"I now, with great respect for you,"
"Suggest that you abandon this invasion..."
Seeing that the other party did not respond and became even more violent,
The Doctor also loudly said:
"I am talking to you now!"
After careful consideration, it's easy to conclude.
The Nestene Consciousness before them would never easily give up this planet, which was within reach.
Therefore, the other party resolutely rejected their suggestion.
Even more surprisingly, the Nestene even dispatched two plastic people, who quickly subdued the Doctor.
They then searched the Doctor's jacket and found a bottle of highly destructive anti-plastic substance.
This was clearly the Doctor's last resort, prepared for the failure of negotiations.
Not only that.
The Nestene also discovered the TARDIS, which was hovering above.
Although this negotiation was conducted peacefully, both sides' preparations seemed quite thorough.
What was particularly important was that
The Doctor, as a Time Lord, belonged to a race that was one of the main forces that triggered the Time War.
The Nestene's home planet was lost in that catastrophe.
Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations.
The Nestene would absolutely never accept the Doctor's suggestion. 』

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Time War? How can time be used for combat?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "And he even lost his home planet because of this war?" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "A wondrous world." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "If time can be used for combat, then was the previous time travel real?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Time travel? That sounds incredibly magical." ]
[ Eriri Eriri Spencer Sawamura (Saekano): "Time travel in light novels, has it really come true?" ]

『 After successfully controlling the Doctor, it immediately launched its invasion plan.
Through the massive London Eye, it emitted powerful signal sources to the entire world.
In an instant, the plastic mannequins in the city all awoke.
These mannequins broke through the restraints of display windows, surged into the streets, and launched fierce attacks on innocent passersby.
The pedestrians in the scene were panic-stricken, scattering in all directions. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "!!! So many mannequins have all come to life?!" ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "I suddenly feel a bit afraid to go shopping in the future." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "+ 1" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "Indeed, it's a bit terrifying." ]
[ Hayasaka Ai (Love Is War): "My Lady, you won't be going to shopping malls anyway, so this matter should be irrelevant to you." ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 Just at this critical moment,
Rose, hiding in the underground factory, saw this situation and decided to take action.
But her boyfriend Mickey anxiously shouted behind her:
"Don't do that! You won't be able to help!"
Rose ignored him, walked straight to the wall, and picked up an axe.
Muttering, "I'm just a high school student, no job, no future."
"But let me tell you what I do have."
With that, Rose grabbed a nearby hanging iron chain,
And swung it at the plastic person without hesitation.
In one move, she kicked the nearby mannequin and the anti-plastic agent it was holding, which had been searched from the Doctor, into the large barrel. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Great, now this plastic thing will be gone." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "After the anti-plastic substance goes in, the other party shouldn't have any extra abilities." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Fantastic!" ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "You, why are you learning this?" ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Hehehe, I just feel like this phrase has a particularly strong presence." ]
[ .....]
『 Seizing this opportunity, the Doctor also quickly broke free from the mannequin's control.
The Nestene Consciousness, severely wounded by the anti-plastic agent, screamed in agony.
Soon, it would be completely annihilated by the agent.
As the Nestene Consciousness vanished, the transmitter also began to fail.
The plastic mannequins raging worldwide ceased their movements.
They once again reverted to their lifeless mannequin forms.
And in that underground base,
With the disappearance of the Nestene Consciousness, the immense energy could no longer be contained.
The entire underground base was on the verge of destruction.
Realizing the danger, the Doctor quickly pulled Rose and Mickey, urging them to evacuate immediately.
The three escaped in time, avoiding the impending explosion. 』

[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Such a big explosion should be discovered by others, right?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Even if it's discovered, what then? This was an action that saved the planet." ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "That's right~, for saving the world, a small London Eye should be fine, right?" ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "This is from another world." ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "That's right~, things from other worlds have even less to do with us." ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "Just leave it to the omnipotent Doctor." ]
[ .....]
『 The scene shifts,
With the successful resolution of this incident,
The Doctor, who had dropped the two back on the street, was also preparing to say goodbye.
But having witnessed Rose's quick wit and courage, the Doctor sincerely invited her to join his adventures,
They could travel to any corner of the universe together, all expenses paid. 』
