Honjo Tokiya had plenty on her mind.
So she gathered the few who were at home and began recounting events from the black bullet side.
Rosen, meanwhile, clicked into the chat group himself.
In his absence the chat history had already hit 99+.
And the messages were still about the black bullet world.
[I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "The crisis is over, but I'm still worried about them."]
[Avenger: "If you're worried, drop by anytime. The chat group has that bug, right?"]
[Spirit of Time: "I've had DEM Corporation speed up production of Manifestation Devices and supporting gear. Once I ship them over, the kids' living standards will skyrocket. We're short on carers, but AI and Robots can fill the gap."]
[Magic Old Man: "Are Manifestation Devices that amazing?"]
[Fallen Angel: "Hmm... this thing isn't just tech—it's sci-fi. It yanks the tech level of Kurumi's world up two full tiers. You know what two tiers mean?"]
[Ice Queen: "Setting other things aside, in combat even the most Elementary Tactical Unit is stronger than most Teigu Users."]
[Shepherd: "Frankly, using them purely for war is a waste; they can revolutionize civilian life. The cities in Date A Live rebuilt so quickly precisely because of them."]
[Hell's Fubuki: "I know they're sci-fi, but are they really that incredible?"]
Most members had no real feel for Manifestation Devices.
After all, in the Date A Live anime their biggest role, as Rosen said, was rebuilding cities.
Other applications were never mentioned.
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "I read the specs—Manifestation Devices are close to real wish-fulfilment magic. Incredible. But why does Date A Live's tech look... underwhelming? Aside from those ships and units, we barely see it elsewhere."]
[Shepherd: "Simple: when you're busy dating, who cares about the details?"]
Honestly, the Date A Live World is full of plot holes.
Starting with why Reimu didn't take revenge on DEM Corp but went the long way to resurrect the original hero, dragging countless innocent girls into it.
The development of Manifestation Devices is also in a Schrödinger state.
[Shepherd: "If we start nit-picking, every one of our worlds has obvious bugs—but as long as they run, let's not overthink it."]
[Hell's Fubuki: "Fair point."]
Just as Rosen kept discussing the Cursed Children's future, a notification suddenly floated before everyone.
[Group Notice: "Moon Goddess" has joined the chat. Come say hi~~~]
The abrupt message interrupted the flow.
But everyone quickly shifted focus to the newcomer.
[Spirit of Time: "Welcome, newcomer."]
[Hell's Fubuki: "Welcome, welcome. If you're confused, check the Group Info—answers are there. If anything's still unclear, just ask in the chat."]
[I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Oh, and if you've got a problem you can't solve, feel free to post a quest—rewards are whatever you decide."]
[Fallen Angel: "Did no one notice a serious issue—this name... did an actual goddess just join?"]
[Magic Old Man: "Seems so! Are gods just walking around everywhere nowadays?"]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Moon Goddess… is she a deity connected to the moon? The famous ones I recall are Artemis from Greek myth, Selene, and Chang'e from Chinese lore."]
[Dokushima: "There's also Princess Kaguya, the Lunar Princess from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Beyond that, I'm stumped."]
Please give flowers!
[Bad Woman: "Besides them, there's the Norse moon god Máni, the ancient Indian moon god Soma, the Egyptian moon god Khonsu, and the Roman Moon Goddess Luna—though they're not very well-known."]
[Magic Old Man: "Fallen Angel, care to take a guess?"]
[Fallen Angel: "How would I know? You just want to see me make a fool of myself so you can laugh!"]
After being ruthlessly slapped in the face last time, Gabriel had learned to stay calm.
[Shepherd: "Moon Goddess, what is your name?"]
Seeing Rosen's direct question, the other group members mentally gave him a thumbs-up.
As expected of you—always so straightforward.
[Moon Goddess: "…"]
Meanwhile.
danmachi world.
She wore a blue-and-white one-piece dress; on the right hem hung a white cloth strip that seemed fastened to a belt at the hip. A thin iron ring encircled the cloth, and on the left side of her rear was a wedge-shaped silver metal guard. Each arm bore golden cuffs.
Her aqua-blue hair was braided into a single long plait—twisted in the middle and ending in a plain ponytail.
Her gentle, dignified face was stunning, yet her eyes sparkled with heroic spirit.
This was none other than the Moon Goddess Artemis from "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"
Right now, surprised and curious about the strange new chat group she'd joined, she was following Fubuki's advice and checking the group files.
The introductions were so bizarre and fanciful that even Artemis, an adventurer of the Lower Realm, marveled.
"A special existence that can connect different worlds—why have we gods never discovered it before?"
Suppressing her shock, Artemis wondered in bewilderment.
But she quickly stopped dwelling on it.
After all, if something had remained hidden from the gods until now, it probably couldn't exist in this world.
And if it had been born in another world, it was easy to explain…
