"System Notification: Queen Who Wants to be in Love has joined the Chat Group! Click on an emoji to welcome the newcomer!"
"System Notification: Bad Woman has joined the Chat Group! Click on an emoji to welcome the newcomer!"
Lying on her bed, with a fan blowing, Tokisaki Kurumi, biting on an ice pop stick, saw the notification from the Chat Group.
Spirit of Time: "It seems there are new members joining again."
She said this while privately chatting with Bai Chen.
Bai Chen: "Let's go see who the new people are first."
Bai Chen: "Also... send the photo later; I'm in the shower, it's not convenient."
Spirit of Time: "Is that so? But... I wouldn't mind seeing Mr. Bai Chen's eight-pack abs, cat blushing.jpg."
Bai Chen: "Do you want to see my photo that much? I'm afraid you'll regret it after you see it."
Spirit of Time: "Is Mr. Bai Chen very ugly?"
Bai Chen: "Not at all..."
He subconsciously touched his face; back in school, girls had pursued him too.
Bai Chen: "While I wouldn't say I'm devastatingly handsome, I'm only slightly less so."
Spirit of Time: "In that case, I'm even more excited... After all, I always feel like Mr. Bai Chen knows a lot about me, but I don't know anything about Mr. Bai Chen. That doesn't seem very fair."
Bai Chen: "..."
Spirit of Time: "I look forward to having a chance to meet offline."
Bai Chen: "That will have to wait until the Chat Group upgrades."
The two stopped their private chat and looked at the public screen.
Luo A Bao: "Welcome, newcomers."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Newcomers, if you don't understand anything, you can ask us."
Railgun: "Sprinkling flowers.jpg."
Spirit of Time: "I feel like the frequency of people joining the Chat Group has increased recently. If you don't know what's going on, you can check the Chat Group files. I've compiled a general overview of the Chat Group there. Every member is from a different world."
Bai Chen: "Two girls..."
Railgun: "Are you trying to hit on the newcomers! Newcomers, run!"
Spirit of Time: "Mr. Bai Chen's focus is on gender?"
Bai Chen: "I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sure you've got the wrong idea."
The new Chat Group members didn't speak, possibly going to read the Chat Group files organized by Tokisaki Kurumi.
After all, suddenly being invited to a strange Chat Group, anyone would be cautious.
After about a few minutes.
When Bai Chen dried himself and returned to his room to lie down, he found that the newly joined members had spoken.
Queen Who Wants to be in Love: "...I originally thought I had fallen victim to some kind of mental interference Imperial Arm from the Revolutionary Army, but I never expected it to be something so peculiar. I hope you're not deliberately playing a trick on me."
Even across dimensions, Bai Chen could sense the faint hint of hostility in her words.
Bad Woman: "Interesting... So it's not an illusion?"
In a Japanese garden.
A gentle breeze swept through the lush green grass and trees, the rustling leaves creating a soft sound.
And in the shade cast by the tree trunk, amidst the cicada's song of midsummer, a graceful woman in a modern suit and trousers curved her lips upward.
This thing called "Chat Group" had directly entered her mind when she was completely unprepared.
Living in modern society, she naturally knew what a "group" was.
But until just now, she had never encountered such a surprising situation.
After the Chat Group appeared, she immediately fell into thought.
Illusion, reality, mental and psychological interference, or the power of some other unknown demon.
She tried to use her abilities to dominate the Chat Group, but found it completely ineffective.
Then, she even attempted suicide.
But after regeneration, nothing had changed.
Only at this moment did she become half-believing, half-doubting the existence of the Chat Group.
If this was real... it was far more interesting than demons, or even hell.
When she immersed herself in the Chat Group again, the strange people in the Chat Group were already chatting away.
Railgun: "I wonder how long it'll take them to digest it. It took me a whole day to accept reality."
Luo A Bao: "Two days."
Da Gu Ao Cheng Tang: "Three days. I initially believed in science."
Spirit of Time: "Speaking of which, Mr. Bai Chen should be the fastest person to accept the Chat Group, a true speed legend."
Bai Chen: "Don't praise me, I'll get embarrassed."
While chatting and joking with the Chat Group members, he also pondered the identities and backgrounds of the two newcomers.
Queen Who Wants to be in Love.
Based on her mention of "Imperial Arm," it could basically be concluded that it was the world of "Akame ga Kill."
Imperial Arms are special tools in the Akame ga Kill world, made from the body parts of Danger Beast monsters, possessing various powers, somewhat similar to the Sacred Gears in the High School DxD world.
And with keywords like "love," "queen," and "Revolutionary Army," Bai Chen also guessed the true identity of the other party.
The Empire's General Esdeath.
One of his former waifus...
