How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

After all, although the term "goddess" has changed somewhat since Aqua, there are still more reliable goddesses in general... or rather, there aren't many goddesses as unreliable as Aqua.

"Could this be Konosuba...?"

"Haha! This is the holy sword that the goddess bestowed upon me! To keep my promise to the goddess, I will definitely succeed in defeating the Demon King!"

Wow! That's amazing! "As expected of Lord Hibiki!"

Huanmeng overheard the conversation of the three adventurers who had saved her not far away, and broke out in a cold sweat!

Grocery store owner: Since the update, new players have been coming in very frequently!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: That's the feeling.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: A certain ordinary high school student and the Tengu princess Benten have only been here a few days, and I was still watching the ordinary high school student crush the strongest Lv.5, and now another person has joined.

Newbie here: I wonder who got the random invitation I sent out, no one's come in.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Miss Fox was stunned for a moment, then she understood, she understood everything!

Since it's Shen Yong, he'll definitely keep delaying this uncertain invitation, so it's normal that he's only just arrived now!

"I see. I knew there would be no one not joining this tiny group with only an 'agree' option!"

That makes sense now!

"But if it's Shen Yong who comes in..." How can we bring him joy...?

Newbie just filling in the numbers: It seems like Ryuguuin Seiya can't bring any joy. General store uncle: The newbie's name is Ryuguuin Seiya.

Benten: Your tone of voice doesn't match your name. (laughs)

A seventeen-year-old girl: This newbie is really good at talking (laughs)

Herbalist: I see, you know me very well.

Ryuguin Seiya frowned.

Several people in the group knew his personality well and guessed who he was the moment he joined the group and spoke.

However, in his memory, no one could match them. He had general information about the Shinryu-guin Seiya he had met in the Unified Divine Realm, but none of them matched him.

On the bright side.

"Hey, Goddess of Sealing, who is the enemy that will unify the divine realm?"

Aria was surprised that Ryuguuin Seiya would ask such a question, but she shook her head. Aria didn't reveal any information on this matter, saying, "This is a matter of our unification of the divine realm..."

"Huh? Even the unified divine realm has enemies!?" Lista was quite surprised.

Newbie here to fill the numbers: Let me guess what our cautious hero is doing.

Paid newbie: They're probably trying to verify our identities.

Paid newbie: Even after reading the information in this chat group, it's hard to believe it.

Herbalist: If a unified divine realm exists, then a chat group connecting all dimensions isn't surprising at all.

Grocery store clerk: Is the one who unifies the divine realm a true god?

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Uncle, you'd better not expect anything from those gods.

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: I don't know when it started, but the term "gods," which originally represented authority and power, has gradually become a character trope for comedians, and of course, for the ultimate villain.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: The deity who unified the divine realm is a character who appeared in works from the era when embarrassing deities were popular...

Paid newbie: I remember there were a few who were decent.

Herbalist: Works? Does that mean I'm a character in a certain work?

Ryuguuin Seiya frowned even more deeply, while Ristarte, standing to the side, began to question the meaning of life.

This is far more impactful than being summoned to the realm of gods to become a hero and save another world.

Benten: Who isn't a heroine in a light novel?

Seventeen-year-old girl: Oh, I remember Xiao Cangshu said that you weren't exactly the female lead over there, were you?

A seventeen-year-old girl: and their mutual affection was defeated by reality—a very real love story indeed!

Benten:...

Benten shut down the chat group.

Taking a deep breath, she prepared to do something big!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hmph, that theory is always used when group members are questioning their existence!

Paid newbie: Yes, that one!

Herbalist: The Infinite Monkey Theory?

Herbalist: That's true. Even other worlds exist; it's quite normal for such coincidences to exist.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Paid newbie: ...

A seventeen-year-old girl: This is really the first time I've seen these two newbies get such a run of bad luck (laughs)

Grocery store owner: It seems the newbies' knowledge level isn't a factor to be overlooked, and there's no need to worry about the difference in payment.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: No, I'm nowhere near as good as Ryuguuin Seiya.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: But I can still turn things around!

Miss Fox smiled confidently.

In terms of intelligence and sharp tongue, he certainly can't compare to Ryuguuin Seiya, but as someone who has read the novel, he knows more about information than Ryuguuin Seiya.

Winning back a game is just a small matter!

Newbie just filling in the numbers: @Herbalist

Newbie here to fill in: Listen up, watch carefully, and prepare yourself, because I'm about to tell you something that might raise your blood pressure!

Newbie just there to fill in the numbers: You actually had a wife who died! And a daughter!

-

Chapter 187 Are all the youkai in your Gensokyo like this?

Ryuguuin Seiya fell silent, and Aliya couldn't hold back her tears.

“Seiya?” Ristarte was also stunned, because she realized that tears were streaming down her face, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

Ryuguuin Seiya didn't remember this, but when he saw the message in the group chat, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. And then there was the information he'd seen when he first opened the attribute table—information only he knew—letting him know it was true.

"...Goddess Aria, was it you who summoned me last time?"

"I'm so sorry... Seiya... Ristarte..." Aliya sobbed uncontrollably, and the matter she had originally intended to keep hidden was slowly revealed at this moment.

Sooner or later, Seiya and Ristarte will find out about their past...

...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Huh? Where did everyone go?

Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: Why did it suddenly become so quiet?

Paid Newbie: Do you think anyone could remain calm after suddenly hearing this kind of news, especially when it seems like nonsense but is actually true?

Paid newbie: Right now, they're probably either trying to verify with insiders or trying to figure out the sequence of events.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Makes sense

A 17-year-old girl: Are newcomers really this miserable?

Yukari Yakumo wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but just listening to what was being said in the group chat made her realize how incredibly unfortunate the newcomers were.

He had to be told by others that he had lost his wife and had a daughter, so his original experience must have been even more tragic!

But speaking of those two silly newbies in this crappy group, they really know everything. This time, the newbie guessed who it was in just a few words.

"I really want to pry open the brains of these two idiots and see what's inside!"

Newbie just there to fill a spot: It's not that bad, is it?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: There's more to come.

Grocery store owner: Is it getting worse?

Herbalist: I can't pretend I didn't see this information.

Herbalist: So, is the author who wrote my character a psychopath?

Newbie paying for this: As expected of you, you adjusted so quickly.

Newbie commenter: That author writes lighthearted stories, but can't resist adding a little twist or torture to the reader in every volume.

For newbies just filling in the blanks: The full title of the novel is "This Hero Is Incredibly Strong But Overly Cautious".

A seventeen-year-old girl: Be careful~

Grocery store owner: Super strong?

Newbie (just filling in the blanks): Yeah, sir, this character is set up as a one-in-a-billion super genius, possessing incredible talent, easily raising his power to the ceiling of human potential.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: It's a pity there's a restriction in his world; humans can't enter the level 100 realm, meaning they can't become gods unless they give up everything and reincarnate.

Paid newbie: But this can be broken, right? The Demon King in Volume 2 did it.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: That was done by an evil god.

"Is the enemy that will unify the divine realm an evil god?" Ryuguuin Seiya asked Aliya.

Aria, her eyes still red and swollen, nodded. Exhausted, she no longer wanted to hide anything from the hero and Ristarte. Besides, judging from what the people in the group were saying, it was something that Ryuguuin Seiya, the protagonist of the novel, would have to face sooner or later.

Herbalist: Putting aside her overwhelming strength for now, caution is necessary.

Herbalist: Let's pause the information about the Demon King and the Evil God in Volume Two for now and get back to the previous topic. There's something even worse going on—is it my daughter?

Ryuguuin Seiya also wanted to ask about the rest of the story, but he knew what was important right now.

If you can't even protect the people around you, how can you talk about saving the world?

Paid Newbie: It's the other world where you first adventured. When you were fighting the Demon King, your wife was already pregnant. The goddess had already died and returned to her original world, so she didn't know. Your memories were also erased, and Ristarte's reincarnation also resulted in her having no memories. It can be said to be the most heartbreaking part of the second volume. Herbalist: So you didn't die, but I killed you with my own hands?

Herbalist: Even worse, what if both Lista and I regained our memories, and Lista watched helplessly as I killed my daughter?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Wow! This guy!

Newbie filler: Makes it impossible for those who want to spoil the plot to feel superior!

Ryuguin Seiya's brows were so furrowed they looked like a pretzel.

The speculation was confirmed, but it wasn't good news.

He had never met his daughter, but as a father, Ryuguuin Seiya wanted to save her from her suffering, to atone for his sins, not to kill her with his own hands...

Herbalist: Is there no way to save me? Didn't I find a way to save me in the original story?

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: No, time is too tight, and I haven't found any useful solutions even after searching the entire Unified God Realm.

For newbies just looking to fill a spot: The Demon King connected your daughter's soul to him and stuffed her soul into a machine. If the Demon King dies, your daughter will die too. That's the situation.

Herbalist: Is there no way to unify the divine realm?

Newbie just filling in the blanks: Yeah, there's no way to unify the divine realm. In the original story, even if you unify the divine realm, there's not much you can do against the God-Slaying series of magic and weapons that can kill both the clones and the main soul at the same time.

The grocer: Perhaps the new bride's daughter's soul is too fragile to withstand the consequences of severing the connection.

The grocer: And in a sense, the demon king connecting their souls saved the newlywed's daughter's life.

As a Shinigami who has conducted research in this area, Aizen is quite qualified to speak on the matter.

However, Aizen did not pursue this further, and could only roughly guess the specific situation from the limited information available, without much clue as to how to solve it.

Urahara Kisuke, on the other hand, is different. It has to be said that Urahara Kisuke is truly a genius in scientific research.

However, his relationship with Kisuke Urahara...

Ha ha.

General store clerk: Maybe we can try using the Hogyoku.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Hogyoku!
