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

A dozen or so fabricated stories flashed through her mind in an instant, and before she could finish speaking, Miss Fox told the truth.

"Hmm, even the crybaby has had quite a few scenes. Logically, someone like me, an old woman who knows a bit about 'YGGDRAL' and 'player,' should definitely have some screen time, right? Those monsters, wasn't their leader, the flying squirrel, also looking for traces of players? Why didn't he run into me?"

Furthermore, Rigdal had agreed to the Platinum Dragon King's request to find the weapons of the Eight Greed Kings, so he was bound to encounter the monsters of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Given that the monsters from the Great Tomb of Nazarick will become the "Overlords" of this world, positive characters like Rigdalus will often meet a bad end. They will be tormented by the monsters' perverse pleasures for a period of time, and even death will not bring them relief. Such an ending should be quite profound.

"do not know."

Miss Fox shook her head; "The original novel, well, you should call it a biography. I don't deny that the original biography is well written, but this type of protagonist is disgusting to me, even as toilet paper. It's normal to drop the book after seeing unacceptable parts in the beginning, so I have no idea what happens to the characters who appear later."

Compared to villainous protagonists like Ainz Ooal Gown, Miss Fox prefers protagonists with a strong sense of justice and a passionate, righteous spirit, like Ultraman. She admires Ultraman because he doesn't exist, and she retains a fragile and childlike light in her heart.

Unless Ainz Ooal Gown and his Great Tomb meet a fitting end like DIO and Yoshikage Kira in the original story, Miss Fox finds it hard to be interested in this type of novel.

"I see."

Ligurido nodded, and the old woman understood.

Ibiru looked at Rigurido and Miss Fox from left and right, racked her brains for a moment, and seemed to have discovered something interesting. She then asked Miss Fox:

"Hey, you vile elf, do you know who is the strongest among the native creatures of this world?"

"Absolutely certain death."

Answer in seconds.

Miss Fox herself didn't know much about this character, her only impression being that she was "a half-elf loli who could be taken home and used as a firearm if you defeated her."

"..."

Chapter 278 Misaka Mikoto is very angry!

Newbie here to fill in: Good afternoon, everyone! You should all be awake by now!

After dealing with Ivy's persistent questions, Miss Fox, who finally had some peace and quiet at lunchtime, naturally chose to swim, an indispensable part of her life.

Before, when everyone was still half asleep in the early morning, now that it's noon, even the pigs must be awake.

Even if they're still huddled in bed, desperately trying to hold their pee and writhing like maggots, they're still awake!

My Favorite Magical Merry: Good afternoon, Merry-chan is full of energy today too~

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Hey doctor, have you been eating properly and eaten less cake?

My favorite is Magical Mary: Ah, this...

Grocery store owner: Strange, shouldn't you be surprised that the doctor is speaking in the group chat at this time?

Newbie commenter: Ah, Aizen, who's been missing for so long, is back online! Did he bring back any souvenirs for his hungry little daughter?

Grocery store owner: I haven't been to England yet.

In Soul Society, Aizen, who had finally finished his preparations for going to England, paused for a moment and then smiled helplessly.

"This girl..."

He was laughing alone in his office like an old father. He never expected that the three of them who initially joined the chat group and formed a private alliance without the group owner would develop into this kind of relationship.

Aizen shook his head. None of that mattered anymore. Just like how he let the black cat outside his window always linger near him as a surveillance camera, everything was fine. He'd just let things take their course. Besides, thinking back to that time when he was just there to make up the numbers, that newbie's unpretentious and clueless behavior... it didn't seem so bad after all.

As for Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Hogyoku—all of which he had devoted nearly a century to...

Aizen took out his transfer visa from his pocket and smiled.

Before he had seen the wider world, Shinigami, Hollows, Hogyoku, Soul King, and Soul Society were indeed everything he knew. But things changed after the group invitation suddenly appeared in his mind without warning. There were worlds beyond worlds, and countless strange powers beyond spirit particles. Yin-Yang techniques, magic, science, martial arts—all sorts of concepts and power systems were constantly being recognized and absorbed by Aizen, and they were indeed feasible.

At that moment, Aizen's vision was no longer short-sighted.

With a clearer goal in mind, the once-interesting game of disguise, the world-shaking Hueco Mundo management, and the surprise at the birth of the Hogyoku all become insignificant.

They even felt that all the things they had worked so hard to build were like a burden, and they wanted to get rid of these burdens as soon as possible. As for the original work, Ichigo Urahara and Yhwach, let the Soul Society stage be left for them to perform their drama of saving the world.

In the words of a newbie who's just there to fill a spot, that's what it means—

Our journey is to the stars and the sea!

Grocery store owner: Tell me first, what kind of souvenirs do you want?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Let me think.

As a newbie just filling in the blanks: I haven't watched Dragons and Witches, but since it's drawn by the author of Bleach, the abilities they use must be some really cool or cool-looking gadgets...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Give me one too!

Grocery store owner: I'll take a look then.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Administrator, administrator, I've obtained some interesting information in Academy City. How about it, are you interested in exchanging it with me?

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: Interesting information?

Miss Fox thought of Yin and Long, (yesterday's third/newcomer) has a great suspicion that it is really "the dead super electromagnetic cannon".

Judging from that completely off-topic rambling, the newbie probably spent the whole night investigating the chat group and created some new urban legend. Considering that Academy City is managed by Aya-chan, who seems serious but is actually quite unreliable, there must be plenty of urban legends related to the chat group, plus there's that wild Flower Mom who hasn't been sent back to Gensokyo...

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: Surely no one saw Railgun getting completely destroyed by Himawari, right?

Gekota: How did you know?! You're the green-haired guy?!

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Sigh, why is A Certain Scientific Railgun in the chat room too!?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Uh...

Ordinary high school student: Um, actually there's a bit of a misunderstanding here, bilibili

Kamijou Touma looked at the fox-girl and Misaka Mikoto who were at odds again in the chat group with a bit of helplessness. Right next to him was Misaka Mikoto, who was being stopped by him but was still clamoring to go upstairs to cause trouble for Kazami Yuuka.

Heaven knows what he felt when, after a busy night with no results, he hadn't even had a chance to catch up on his sleep when Accelerator called him, asking him to come pick up Misaka Mikoto, who was bound like a dumpling by plant roots.

"Bilibili, Ms. Yuuka isn't a chat room administrator. It's someone else entirely, the Ms. Fox you've met before. And Ms. Fox didn't mean any harm yesterday; it was just a routine joke for newcomers. Actually, I was made a similar joke when I first joined!"

Given Misaka Mikoto's current enraged state, Mr. Kamijou strongly suspects that if he lets go, he could demolish Accelerator's dormitory in no time!

"..."

Whether or not Mr. Kamijou's advice really worked, Misaka Mikoto calmed down, silently slapping Mr. Kamijou's hand away. Although she didn't say a word, she seemed to have calmed down.

That's how Mr. Kamijou judged it.

"However, Miss Fox's joke this time was indeed a bit too much, this time..."

"Hey, a regular high school student, right?"

With a crackling sound, a burst of electric light made Mr. Kamijou's heart skip a beat. He then saw Misaka Mikoto raise her head and greet him with a kind smile!

"Who is this 'Miss Fox'? Where is she now? I want to find her in person to express my gratitude for her inviting me into the chat room!"

"Ah...this..."

Mr. Kamijou was sweating profusely!

Guatai: Where are you now? @Newbie_to_make_number

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Me? I'm eating at the inn. You don't mean you want to come find me, do you?

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: See that group function? Find the "transmigration application," select me, and then whoosh! Very quickly, you'll be by my side.

Misaka Mikoto looked up from the chat box and at Mr. Kamijou, whose face was full of tension.

"that..."

Mr. Kamijou swallowed hard and said cautiously, "It's true. This chat room really is a device that can travel between worlds, and science really isn't just about everything in this world..."

"Stop coming!"

Unexpectedly, Misaka Mireiko became even angrier. She was already in a bad mood after being tied up like a dumpling and hung from the ceiling all night, and now that Kamijou Touma was showing favoritism towards that fox girl, it made her even more furious!

"Since you won't tell me, I'll find it myself!"

In Academy City, she refused to believe it! She couldn't possibly find anyone!

Chapter 279 Love Song: I've never seen anyone as cowardly as you.

Newbie just filling in the blanks: Newbie? Railgun? Breast size decline? Bilibili?

Ordinary high school student: Um, it seems like bilibili won't give up until they find you...

Newbie (just filling a spot): ...No way, she actually believes in science that much? This reminds me of that policeman who's encountered gods and ghosts before.

Grocery store owner: Haha, it's normal to only believe what you already know.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Well... never mind, I don't even know if the doctor is still there.

My Favorite Magical Merry: What's wrong, Merry-chan?

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): I'm still here~

Newbie here to fill the numbers: I don't think you can keep running away like this. You could accept that the Merry you were originally a fan of was actually Merlin, but now that one of the Merry you're a fan of is a paid character, hey, don't be shy, be bold and give her flowers, cakes, and rings, go confess!

Miss Fox excitedly licked her lips. It was rare for that newbie who was paying to join the group chat to be absent, and she had caught the doctor showing up again. How could she not encourage him?

As for the reactions of newbies who have paid for the service, and whether the doctor will get into trouble if he actually does this, Miss Fox isn't too worried.

Although we've never met or even met in person, I still know a little about this "Paid Newbie" person. When the doctor actually did this, the "Paid Newbie" person would definitely guess that the doctor was instigated by someone. Just based on that alone, the doctor will at most lose face, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, doctors are pretty embarrassing people sometimes!

My favorite is Magical Mary: But...

Newbie here to fill in: Doctor! What are you hesitating for? If you're going to push her, you should just say it! If you're going to give up just because of this little thing, what right do you have to say you're going to push her?

My favorite is Magical Mary: This...

Roman was very conflicted, pacing back and forth in front of Ruoxue's room, unable to press the doorbell.

He knew that he had been avoiding the situation ever since the online idol, Delinquent Merry, arrived in Chaldea. He had heard the staff's praise for Delinquent Merry's many contributions to Chaldea, and she had given Ritsuka and the others far more help than he had. She was even trying to change his fate to prevent his sacrifice. Compared to this, his deliberate avoidance of seeing his idol, Delinquent Merry, simply because he didn't want to face the fact that the person behind her was male, made him seem incredibly cowardly.

After Da Vinci-chan's encouragement, I finally mustered the courage to face the truth today and wanted to have a proper, real-life meeting with the delinquent Mei-chan, but when I stood in front of the room door...

My Favorite Magical Mary: Maybe we should just skip it today. My hair isn't done properly, and my clothes...

Roman has backed down yet again!

Benten: Hahahaha, I say, Doctor, you're not some useless coward who can't even handle this little thing, are you?

My favorite is Magical Girl Merry: Benten-san...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Yeah, the doctor's pretty timid.

Benten: Doctor, you're not going to make girls like you like that.

Benten: Girls want guys to be more assertive and confident. If you're insecure, how can you expect girls to respect you?

My favorite is Magical Merry: But the delinquent Merry-chan...

Benten: What's wrong? What's wrong with the girl? No matter what, the guy should be the one to muster up the courage first. Are you going to wait for the girl to take the initiative?!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: ... (thinking)

Miss Benten the Fox has been missing for some time now, and I wonder what she's been up to all this time.

Benten's comments in the group chat are a bit impulsive right now. First, let's keep the option about "Aunt Flo's Visiting" on hold. Then, let's analyze Benten's words word by word, uncovering the true story with our intelligence! Benten: Doctor, don't keep girls waiting for these things. Girls don't have much time for you to realize things. Don't end up saying, "Looking back, I met the one I wanted to protect most when I was at my most helpless."

Benten: It's hurtful to both her and the person who will settle down and be with you in the future.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

My Favorite Magical Merry: ...Ms. Benten, are you alright?

Not only Miss Fox, but even the doctor noticed something was wrong with these remarks.

Such remarks...

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Miss Benten is heartbroken?

Benten:...

On a day when the rain was pouring down, Benten, who was standing outside the temple where the Shimogamo family was based, looked at the sake jar in his hand with an umbrella, and without hesitation threw it away. It landed somewhere in the grass with the sound of rain.

Well...

In the rain, Benten, who was high above and unapproachable, opened his mouth silently, looking at the few raccoons huddled together below the temple. Only a heavy smell of alcohol dissipated and drifted into the rain.

My legs, already soaked by the rain, felt as heavy as lead and I couldn't move them.
