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

"call..."

Taking a deep breath, Misaka Mikoto still felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the sunflowers staring intently at her.

She had no idea what kind of ability this was, nor did she know why sunflowers could be planted on concrete. All she knew was that the dormitory was eerie.

The sunflowers that seem to be making faces at her, the strange ability to form sunflower fields, and the green-haired guy that Accelerator is pointing at...

Believe it or not?

Misaka Mikoto was caught in a dilemma.

Accelerator and she don't get along well. Their worlds are parallel, and they even became enemies because of the Level 10 plan. Although she never confronted him directly, Misaka Mikoto still put him on her list of suspects. So now, whether to believe him or not is a major dilemma.

"...Kuroko, wait for me!"

Finally, Misaka Mikoto stopped using Ultimate Technique, looked at the sunflower swaying towards her in the still air, and took a deep breath—

"Even a god cannot stop me!"

With her foot landing, Misaka Mikoto didn't step on anything...

"The so-called No. 3 of the Academy City can't even beat a single sunflower~"

Chapter 269 Smoked Title Girl

Recovering from the feeling of weightlessness, Miss Fox, now back on solid ground, still felt a little weak in the legs and nearly lost her balance.

It felt like she had just gone through a rather long time-travel experience, which made Miss Fox feel a bit weak and she needed to drink something nutritious to replenish herself.

Shaking her head, Miss Fox opened her eyes.

Her body was still a little weak, and the spiritual energy within her was also subtly restless. It seemed that the upper limit caused by the previous surge had been loosened because of the new ability she had created, such as the skill "One Cut in Two". However, even if it was loosened, Miss Fox would not rush to cultivate further. Instead, she would choose to refine and consolidate her spiritual energy until all her spiritual power was under her absolute control before she would start cultivating further.

Even if she wanted to become stronger quickly, she understood the principle that a solid foundation was essential. Since she didn't have the old man's painstaking guidance, the best way to avoid taking detours was to focus on building a strong foundation.

"But...where is this place? Where is that humming monster?"

The unfamiliar ceiling, the European-style room decor that clashes with the Naruto worldview that gives rise to island culture, and the obviously expensive furniture—Miss Fox seems to vaguely remember it.

The problem is, shouldn't she have been sent back to the time period of the Duke of the Group along with the Dragon Vein and Madara Uchiha? How did she end up here?

Could it be that she was picked up by someone while she was still naked? But her clothes were intact, with no signs of being violently torn. Although she was dressed in stunning clothes, it was impossible for someone to actually damage them. Nevertheless, Miss Fox still checked her body to make sure there was nothing wrong.

"Hmm, it doesn't have any of the foul smell of photinia flowers."

The person who picked her up from the dead was either a woman or a philanthropist. Miss Fox was quite confident in her appearance after transmigrating, and her indifference to a beautiful woman in a coma was a big problem no matter how you looked at it.

That's not right either, why would she think of this for others?

"Huh, what's this?"

On a low table beside the bed, Miss Fox discovered something strange.

It's something made of some unknown metal, carved with three strange and wonderful patterns. (This seems to be) a family business, and it looks like the owner of this room is a nobleman.

Well, so what if they're nobles?

To Miss Fox, even if the person who picked her up was a nobleman of some high status, it would only mean that she could use her stunning beauty to gain another hardworking servant. She wouldn't hesitate to punch him just because he was a nobleman.

Controlling the weak requires very little energy, just like in the world of Ainz Ooal Gown, where one could seize half the power of a kingdom in one fell swoop. For a fox lady with unparalleled beauty, controlling a kingdom is an easy task.

"Conquering the world... sounds pretty interesting?"

Miss Fox was taken aback, her eyes blank, somewhat confused as to why she had suddenly said such a thing.

Conquering the world should be an extremely troublesome thing no matter how you look at it, but for a moment just now she thought it was a rather interesting idea, which is very abnormal!

Wait a minute, this isn't the first time she's had this kind of sudden, unexpected experience!

"Am I...?"

She rushed to the window and drew back the curtains. The sudden burst of bright sunlight stung her eyes, but Miss Fox didn't care. She channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes to relieve the discomfort. Upon closer inspection, she saw a street with a distinctly otherworldly feel! Located in a wealthy district, it was still morning. Elegantly dressed nobles were about to leave. When they noticed Miss Fox in the room, their gazes were filled with a mixture of desire. However, after glancing at a certain part of the house, they quickly averted their eyes and hurried away. Apart from a few individuals who seemed to have a connection to her stunning beauty and looked at her with eyes awaiting orders, the rest dared not look directly at her.

It's confirmed, she forgot to activate her passive ability to reduce her presence!

"Tsk!"

Let's sort it out.

The mission was to annihilate Ainz Ooal Gown's stronghold, and then the group leveled up. Two new members joined as the new group leader, and at the same time, some ideas that didn't seem to be her own started popping up. Since one of the new members was an ordinary high school student, she wanted to use Illusion Kill to see if she was cursed or if Ainz Ooal Gown had given her some strange skill before he died. After the ordinary high school student got stuck, she personally went to A Certain Magical Index to spoil the plot for Aya.

I was touched on the head by Huansha, and then thoughts that didn't seem to originate from me stopped popping up...

"It seems it wasn't that something within me was erased by the illusion, but rather that I only acted this way in this world..."

Who cast some power on her that only works in this world?

World-class props, Miss Fox immediately thought of this!

After all, this is the world of Ainz Ooal Gown. These kinds of props that are touted as amazing in the original work are naturally the first suspects. After all, not every world has the same nobles as this one, and the effects of world-class props are unlikely to work in another world!

"But that's not right. I remember that in Overlord, there's a setting where World-Class items can't affect players who also possess World-Class items. Logically, since I'm wearing the Beauty Queen's World-Class item, it shouldn't affect me either..."

The only clue might be the sudden surge in spiritual power when he took over the position of group leader after completing the mission.

She jumped from level 20 to level 30 without any preparation, a leap of ten levels in one go. This caused her control to plummet, leaving her practically disabled for several days. She has been busy with various tasks and has only now managed to unlock the level cap and learn level 5 skills ahead of schedule. It feels like she has activated a powerful contract.

"What exactly is affecting me in this world?!"

I can't figure it out at all.

She now has a strange urge to use the nobles under her control to overthrow the kingdom, then vigorously promote the emergence of technological routes, build up her military strength, and wait for the right time to conquer the world!

A strange feeling of "I can actually get passionate" left Miss Fox unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Isn't this much more exciting than Boruto?

Shaking her head, Miss Fox picked up the furniture from the low table beside her bed. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed; she felt as if she had seen this style of furniture before...

"This looks like... a royal mark?"

After trying to recall, Miss Fox did indeed have the same pattern on the eldest prince of the kingdom she controlled, but there were some slight differences.

This appears to be used to distinguish different holders, meaning it's an identification item for royal offspring other than the eldest prince.

So, who put this here? And what does it mean? What is the significance of placing it here?...

...

"I think I should fill my stomach first!"

Chapter 270 Spiritual Death

"Give me one of each of these, this one, and this one."

The long-awaited breakfast in another world, sitting quietly in this inn waiting for the food to be served, feels like it was a long time ago, even though it's only been less than a week and she's already back here.

This store, however, has undergone some changes in its interior design, but there is no sense of abruptness or incongruity. You can't tell at all that several walls were demolished just over a week ago due to a battle.

In fact, the fight was started by her, and she ran away before she could pay any compensation, hoping not to be recognized.

The woman in the sample dress calmly sipped her tea, while Miss Fox quietly kept her presence to herself...

"Hmm, that lady looked so familiar... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

Just then, the waiter taking orders overheard a soft mutter and noticed intermittent glances directed their way. However, the glances were so subtle that the waiter couldn't quite place Miss Fox in their line of sight. "Is it just my imagination?"

You're spying on me, aren't you, waiter!

Miss Fox calmly picked up the potion, took a sip, and sat up straight. "Hmph, useless. Passive, low-profile behavior is invincible. This kind of spying can't possibly see me."

"It really looks just like that lady from earlier."

*Gasp!* She gasped sharply, instinctively straightening her chest. Her two large breasts swayed slightly. Miss Fox could already picture the jingling sound and felt as if she had been brainwashed and bewitched.

"An elf, tall, beautiful, and gentle, dressed elegantly but without any air of superiority..."

The waiter walked away and the rest of the conversation became difficult to hear. However, Miss Fox believed that what followed was undoubtedly the truth. Since he hadn't yet recognized her as the culprit who caused the hotel to be demolished more than a week ago, she probably wouldn't be held accountable or asked for compensation.

Miss Fox breathed a sigh of relief.

She's made a lot of money in this world, and there's nowhere here to spend real money like that. The rate at which she's spending it is like eating two bowls of rice each time, one to feed a single person and one to herself. It would take her hundreds of years to eat all her wealth. But Miss Fox doesn't like suddenly having a lot of assets flowing into her hands.

Nothing more than feeling uncomfortable.

"Damn it, my irresistible charm~"

Standing on the earth is the saint Kato Megumi, but she is a pseudo-passive person who can actively control the switch. Given her charm, it is quite normal that she is remembered even if she doesn't show her face much.

Fortunately, she was more skilled.

In her daily life, unless it's something like ordering food, she never turns off her passive ability to minimize her presence. No one notices her, and she can live peacefully in her own little world, without having to interact with anyone in reality. There is no greater happiness in the world than this.

Although Miss Fox has gradually become able to have normal conversations with people when there are few people around, and can even talk eloquently when she feels like explaining, she is still ultimately an introverted person who is almost autistic. Face-to-face communication with others is too troublesome for her, and she is always worried that she might say the wrong thing and upset others.

Of course, if the person you're interacting with is someone Miss Fox knows well, then this option is basically not considered.

After all, they're only good at fighting within their own territory.jpg

"Hmm, let me think..."

When she enters a thinking state, she pinches her chin; this is basically Miss Fox's habit.

Moreover, the smooth feel of this place is quite nice after transmigrating... "It is known that after taking over as the group leader, his spiritual power suddenly surged, and then he would always have some thoughts that he didn't think of himself... This only happens in this world."

For example, using one's stunning beauty to secretly control the entire kingdom, arbitrarily transforming it according to one's own ideas, and turning what originally belonged to others into one's own backyard by labeling it with one's own mark.

There's an inexplicable urge to rule, to rule more.

If one wants change, there is a way to spread communist ideology here, liberate all the corrupt monarchies in this world, and then sit on the throne himself.

"No matter how you look at it, this is extremely troublesome... This is more like the route of a spirited and ambitious protagonist who is eager to develop his own destiny. This kind of route is more suitable for Aoyama than for me."

Because this kind of thing only happens when she's in the world of Ainz Ooal Gown, Miss Fox doesn't even know if it's related to taking over as the group leader.

If there's a problem with the group owner's position, it will affect the thinking of the incumbent, turning them into its shape and making them single-mindedly focused on developing, managing, breaking the group, seeking personal gain, becoming stronger, and building their own power. This is quite consistent with the situation when Aoyama was in charge—a classic chat group protagonist with a built-in aura of reduced intelligence, but unfortunately, he didn't have either the protagonist aura or the aura of reduced intelligence.

The problem is, that situation didn't occur after she left Ainz Ooal Gown's world, making it difficult to connect her with taking over as the leader of the broken group. However, it's also possible that this is meant to lull her into a false sense of security. In reality, the influence has always been there, just subtly and gradually influencing her in other worlds, only to strike hard in this one. The day she naturally comes to believe it's her own inner thought, then by then, [The Fox] will be dead.

Therefore, this possibility cannot be ruled out; we will keep it.

"Secondly, there's the sudden increase in spiritual power."

Without any warning, when she took over as the group leader, her spiritual power suddenly surged several times over, jumping from level 20 to level 10 in one go. She couldn't even control it properly. She was so scared that she spent several days trying to consolidate and stabilize her spiritual power. She was completely dumbfounded.

This one, no matter how you look at it, seems suspicious!

"But I have no clue!"

This is a big problem. There are no clues at all. It's like gathering a group of people to participate in a death game of deciphering the killer's information. The person chosen on the first day is basically doomed to die because there are too few clues!

Now Miss Fox is like that unlucky one who was chosen on the very first day; there are very few clues and time is of the essence!

Fortunately, this wasn't a death game...

"But it's not so bad, is it? There's no difference between mental death and physical death... But speaking of which, where's my breakfast? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

...

"Why are you just standing here daydreaming during work hours instead of delivering groceries?"

"Ah, ah?"

"What are you 'ah' about? Hurry up and deliver the food to the guests, and apologize properly!"

"Yes, it looks just like it!"

"Like what?"

"I just remembered who the customer who ordered from me looks like—it's that elven noble who was recently granted a special title! And I heard that the king bestowed a large territory upon her, and the kingdom's great nobles weren't happy at all. They even carved out some of their own territory to add to her title and provided a lot of assistance. Isn't that strange?"

"That's strange! That's really odd! Why aren't you going to deliver it yet?!"

In a flash, the waiter and a breakfast were pushed out of the kitchen!

Chapter 271 Well, who told her to be Aika's teacher?

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. As an apology, I specially prepared this warmed fruit milk for you. I apologize for delaying your meal!"

The waiter, with a bright and natural smile, brought the slightly cooled breakfast to the table. He offered an extra drink as an apology for the long delay, which was very much in line with the professionalism of a service industry worker. Moreover, the complimentary drink was quite thoughtful, as it was a warm fruit milk, which is suitable to be eaten with breakfast, which is mostly a mixture of carbohydrates. It is nutritious, and drinking a cup of warm fruit milk in the morning can also wake you up.

Such service is quite good.
