Tokyo Jujutsu High.
"Huh?" Satoru raised an eyebrow as he stared at Claire's chat. He was not surprised that she chatted in the group chat, but the fact that her words seemed meek—a far cry from her chuunibyou way of speech.
'Don't tell me... she's embarrassed?' Satoru thought as he smirked slightly.
"Hey, Satoru, help me up," Suguru said, interrupting Satoru's train of thought as he stiffly stood up.
"Didn't Shoko heal you?" Satoru asked in confusion, already hooking an arm around Suguru's waist.
"Shoko? She just said it's not too severe and doesn't need her help," Suguru said with a sigh. "She's really cruel..."
"Haha," Satoru chuckled lightly and turned to Shoko, who was silently slipping away.
"Come on, let's go to the dorm," Satoru said as he led Suguru towards their dormitory, his eyes subtly eyeing the chat group.
...
Eminence in Shadow universe.
Kagenou Estate.
In her room, Claire sat down on a chair close to the window, silently staring at the hovering white interface.
Just as Satoru had guessed, she was indeed embarrassed.
Just after she was through with threatening the members of the chat group, it did not take five minutes before she saw her brother. After a round of 'questioning,' Cid had confessed to his sneaking away. This had left Claire frustrated and angry, leading to her dragging Cid into a serious round of 'training.' Only after she had vented her anger did she remember about threatening the members of the chat group. This had left her deeply embarrassed, as they hadn't done anything to Cid. It was only after her embarrassment had subsided that she entered the chat group—she was deeply curious about this multiverse.
Claire silently stared at the chat group where only her chat was visible, steeling herself for a round of insults. But contrary to her thoughts, nobody rubbed salt in her wound.
[Unlucky reincarnator: Ah well, you can think of the multiverse as different realms!]
[Unlucky reincarnator: And each of us is in these realms—for example, in my 'realm,' magic isn't exactly popular, but the few that know magic are ridiculously overpowered!]
Claire silently absorbed the information Mio had sent, her usual fiery bravado dampened by lingering embarrassment. The absence of mockery from the group chat unsettled her—she'd expected jeers, challenges, or at least a sarcastic remark about her earlier threats. Instead, Mio's explanation about the multiverse felt… genuine.
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: I see. These overpowered beings—how strong are they?]
[Unlucky reincarnator: Very strong! Time stop, hypnosis, reality warping—you name it!]
[Unlucky reincarnator: And it's not only my world; everyone else in the chat group also has strong people in their worlds!]
[ Blood Moon valkyrie: Apart from your worlds who's the strongest in the chat group?]
[ Unlucky reincarnator: That'll be @Honored one!]
[ Unlucky reincarnator: He's so strong even stronger than the sword saint in your world!]
Claire's eyes shone with battle intent. The Sword Saint is said to be currently the strongest in the entire kingdom, with unmatched swordsmanship. The person who can defeat the Sword Saint shouldn't be easy.
But just as Claire was imagining the color of 'the Honored One's' blood, she remembered something.
'Wait... I haven't said anything about my world. How did this "Unlucky Reincarnator" know about the Sword Saint?' Claire furrowed her brows as she immediately sent her doubts to the chat group.
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: How did you know of my world?! Who the hell are you?! Answer me, or I'll carve the answer from your skull?!]
"Eek!" Mio, in her world, let out an involuntary yelp as she saw Claire's message, startling the busty girl beside her.
"Mio-chan, are you okay?" the busty girl, Ichinose, asked Mio in concern.
"Ah... it's nothing," Mio hurriedly said with a forced smile.
"..."
Saki blinked but didn't ask anymore. Instead, she pushed her closed bento to Mio's side with a flushed face.
"M-Mio-chan, this is for you..." Saki said shyly, but unfortunately for her, Mio was desperately trying to save her life and naturally ignored her.
[Unlucky reincarnator: I'm really just a member of this chat group! Don't carve my skull! (╥﹏╥)]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: Heh! You still dare lie to me?!]
[Unlucky reincarnator: I'm not lying! I'm a reincarnator, and I've seen and know your world—the power system, the people, and more!]
Claire stared at the chat group suspiciously.
[Slug Sannin: It's true. She does know your world, and not only your world, but the world of everyone in this chat group.]
[Slug Sannin: And if you're still having doubts...]
[Slug Sannin has sent an image.]
The image Tsunade sent was of herself together with Shizune in a forest. Shizune was still wearing her ninja vest.
[Slug Sannin: I'm actually a ninja in a ninja world. Still have any doubts?]
Claire stared at the chat group interface for a while. Though she still had her doubts, it didn't mean she didn't believe them—the Cid incident was still fresh in her mind.
...
Hentai Accumulated World.
Mio's High School.
Mio breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that Claire didn't pursue the matter anymore. But just as she was drinking her bottled water, Claire's message appeared in the chat group again.
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: Since you know everything about my world, then tell me—do you know my brother's future?]
"Pfft—!" Mio spat her water on Saki.
Saki: "Mio-chan!!"
...
A/N: To write Claire in a group chat setting is extremely exhausting. 😪 (Y'all can tell me if it needs modifications.) But your power stones can help heal this author.
Fun fact: Gojo can't defeat the top two (Aurora and Cid) in The Eminence in Shadow anime.
