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

Chapter Forty-Eight: Father and Daughter

Paid newbie: Good evening everyone, I'm back again~

Newbie just filling in the blanks: Ah, another day has almost passed without me even realizing it!?

Seventeen-year-old girl: You two seem really busy lately, I hardly ever see you~

Before, these two newbies were the most active chatters in this group. You could see them chatting almost every time Yukari Yakumo logged on.

But in the last few days, these two newbies have been almost completely offline, which has made Yakumo Yukari a little uncomfortable. The general store owner has also been rarely showing his face because the two newbies are not online.

Now, only the group admin is online regularly, which makes Yakumo Yukari lose interest and have no motivation to go online.

"Oh dear, that's strange. I thought these two newbies were pretty annoying before..."

As a result, the two most active people fell silent and instead became anxious and uncertain.

Yakumo Yukari shook her head.

Seventeen-year-old girl: What are you all busy with?

Paid newbie: Me?

Paid newbies: These newbies are probably busy learning pharmaceuticals.

Paid newbie: I'm busy making dolls, but due to material issues, all the dolls I make have major problems.

Paid Newbie: [GIF]

Paid newbie: Like this, this doll doesn't move at all, just stands there laughing weirdly, it's creepy!

A seventeen-year-old girl: I never imagined you were a puppeteer who charged fees!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Did someone take you on as an apprentice?

Paid newbie: Yes, a strange woman named Aozaki Touko.

Ruoxue had already come up with an excuse for the doll issue. She had memorized all the previous character settings and would definitely not forget them like before, thus avoiding giving herself away in front of the dog group leader.

Although the group admin is offline now, the act still needs to be performed, after all, there is such a thing as "information record" in the world.

As far as she knew, the newbies in the group who were just there to make up the numbers really liked to look through the records.

Paid newbie: I showed the doll to that strange woman for inspection, and she said there was something wrong with the materials, but she wouldn't provide me with the materials, which is very suspicious.

Paid newbie: This is ridiculous! Teaching apprentices is just outrageous!

Newbie (just there to fill in the numbers): Yeah, I think so too. I don't even have a special bottle for potions yet, because I'm afraid I'll waste them.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: How could I possibly waste anything? I'm not going to make anything that could corrode the bottle!

A seventeen-year-old girl: I think if you put in the effort, it's quite possible to make up the numbers~

The potion made by the newbie who was just filling in the numbers was analyzed by someone, and it turned out to be of high quality with no problems.

That's true, isn't it?

But after all, it was her first impression. Even now, the impression that the newbies who were just there to make up the numbers gave Yakumo Yukari was that she was a carefree and irresponsible person, not someone who could do pharmaceutical work well at all.

Therefore, Yakumo Yukari subconsciously thought it was quite possible that the bottle was corroded, as mentioned by the newbie who was just there to make up the numbers.

In the hands of newbies just to make up the numbers.

Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: Purple Mom, that's really going too far!

(╬￣-￣)

A seventeen-year-old girl: Purple, Purple Mom!?

Seventeen-year-old girl: That's going too far! I already said, I'm a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl!

Paid newbie: The group admin said you're Purple Mom

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: The group admin said you're Purple Mom +1

Grocery Store Uncle: The group admin said you're Purple Mom +1

Seventeen-year-old girl: You!

Paid newbie: Huh? Uncle, you're out?

Paid newbie: Come help me, uncle, what's wrong with this doll?

Paid Newbie: [GIF]

Grocery store owner: I don't know anything about dolls.

Newbie here to fill in: Hey buddy, I have a problem too~

Newbie Ling: I'm looking for a suitable herbal medicine shop, but I can only make low-level medicine at most. It seems like I'm always missing something when it comes to high-level medicine. Can you help me figure it out? General Store Uncle: Ah, this…

Aizen, who was still dealing with squad affairs in the Fifth Division, couldn't help but pause and rub his temples.

As far as he knew, these two newbies knew about his Aizen past and his 'setting'.

It's understandable that these two people showed almost no hostility or resistance towards him, after all, he is Aizen, and there's only one person like him. It's normal for people to feel uncomfortable with Kyoka Suigetsu. But these two newbies, whenever he's online in the group, they always find something to talk to him about, which is very strange.

At first, Aizen thought it was all an act, a mutual exploitation between them, and that he would eventually discard Aizen after he had served his purpose.

But Aizen had long since stopped thinking that way. Although he wasn't very smart, he wasn't stupid either. Through the intermittent one-sided communication proved by the substitute Shinigami, he could still sense whether these two idiots were being sincere.

These two idiots really didn't care about his 'setting', and they didn't have the same mysterious sense of superiority that the group leader always had when he spoke, which made him feel quite comfortable, and his original plans faded a lot.

These two are just silly...

Grocery store owner: Why do I feel like I've raised two curious babies in this group?

Newbie paying for this: Should I call him "Dad"?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Dad!

Miss Fox typed out those two words without hesitation.

At this stage, regardless of whether it's Yukari or the dog-like group leader, Aizen is indeed like a father to the fox spirit.

They provided her Zanpakuto, a Shinigami proxy certificate (a communication bridge to bypass the dog group leader), and material support from Soul Society. Most importantly, Aizen said he could provide her with some items to increase her firepower after a while!

For Miss Fox, who suffers from a severe phobia of insufficient firepower, this is undoubtedly like a father figure! (Outrageous statement)

Paid newbie: Wow! You shameless bastard!

Paid Newbie: Even if Dad is indeed incredibly powerful, handsome, talented, beautiful, and extremely intelligent, you can't just randomly claim to be Dad!

Paid newbie: You're right, Dad!

Grocery store owner: ...

A seventeen-year-old girl: ...

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Shut up! You shameless scoundrel!

Aizen could already guess what this newbie, who was just there to fill a spot, would call him the next time the Substitute Shinigami Certificates were retrieved…

But that's wishful thinking. Miss Fox only dares to call someone "daddy" like that online.

Seventeen-year-old girl: ...Hey, can I find you a teacher who makes dolls? Do you know what to call me? @PaidNewbie

Paid newbie: !

Newbie paying for this: I get it! You actually want to be our mom?!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I never expected this! We treated you like a mother, but you actually wanted to be our stepmother!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: But my dad would never like an older single woman like you!

A seventeen-year-old girl: …(╬￣皿￣)

Grocery store owner: ...Alright, alright, what do you want now?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Daddy's so generous!

Paid newbie: Daddy's so generous! +1

These two idiots are always trying to curry favor with him, but now they're being unusually enthusiastic. Anyone with eyes can see that they're trying to get something out of him.

Aizen has been taken advantage of so many times that he's gotten used to it.

"Sigh... I guess I'll just consider it raising two daughters." It has to be said that this was the first time Aizen had ever felt such a strange and complicated emotion.

Maybe I really did get infected by those two idiots in the group.

"Captain Aizen! You...you have two daughters!?"

"what?"

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Confident Miss Fox

It's another evening, just like any other day.

After a long day, though not really, pharmacist Lizzie Barrera returned home, lit candles to illuminate the empty, lifeless house, and couldn't help but sigh.

A few days ago, unable to resist his grandson Enferea's request, he sent him to hire adventurers to go to Carne Village, where the situation was unclear. By now, they should have gathered enough herbs, but no one has returned, which is making the old man quite lonely.

If it weren't for her grandson still having some conscience and asking the villagers of Kahn who were going to town to bring a letter, Lizzie would have thought that something terrible had happened to her.

"Sigh, young people always get carried away when they fall in love." Lizzie shook her head, feeling a little lonely but otherwise fine.

She also really wants to see her great-grandson born.

Suddenly! An unusual breeze blew by and extinguished the candle that Lizzie had just lit!

A creaking sound came from not far away as a wooden door was moved, instantly putting Lizzie on alert! "Who is it!?"

A ball of light instantly appeared in Lizzie's hand, barely illuminating the surrounding environment, but only the shadow of a woman could be seen leaning in front of her, her face obscured.

"Thief? There's no potion you're looking for here!" Despite her age, the old woman was still a third-tier magic caster.

Dealing with petty thieves is a piece of cake.

"Ah—~" The woman didn't seem afraid of the ball of light in Lizzie's hand at all, and deliberately dragged out her words. Under the magical light, the woman lifted her cloak to reveal her body. Although the area covered was small, it was indeed wearing metal armor that reflected the light.

"Why aren't you back yet? It's just you, old woman, again today. That Enferea is really making me impatient!"

"Adventurers' nameplates?" Lizzie's eyes narrowed to slits. Under the magical light, the armor this woman was wearing was indeed adventurers' nameplates.

There were even a few adventurer nameplates that Lizzie knew about, listed as missing but in reality most likely already dead.

"You're hunting adventurers!?"

This time, Lizzie didn't hesitate any longer. She immediately chanted a few words in a low voice, and several light bullets were quickly shot towards the woman. The old man himself immediately turned around and fled.

Although he was a third-tier magic caster, the other party was clearly not some petty thief, but a hunter adventurer.

As an elderly woman, Lizzie judged that she was no match for him, so she naturally had no intention of fighting head-on. Instead, she wanted to go out and let everyone know that there was a guy lurking in the city hunting adventurers!

Bang!

But before Lizzie could turn around and take a few steps, her front door was slammed shut by a hunched old man.

"You've gone too far!" said the hunched old man dressed in red and holding a staff.

"All we need to know is Enferea's exact location!"

"Hmm, but didn't I tell you to be prepared not to let the screams get out? At least let them enjoy it a little~" (licks knife)

...

"Aha! It's a new day again!"

After a night of cultivation, the fox-like girl, realizing that dawn had broken, excitedly ran to the next room and vigorously shook Enfield, completely disregarding the heavy dark circles under his eyes beneath his bangs.

Unlike Miss Fox, who could only produce blue recovery potions using the same amount of herbs based on his experience, Enferea could only make blue ones, thanks to Miss Fox's ability to create red HP potions. While Miss Fox cultivated at night, Enferea was busy deduce various possibilities for making medicines and taking notes, often falling asleep at his desk very late every night.

This has resulted in Miss Fox shaking herself vigorously, yet she still looks like she can't open her eyes.

"How lazy he is!" Seeing this, Miss Fox gave up and simply threw him onto the bed.

This isn't the first time in the past few days. Ever since she was knocked unconscious by a goblin attack and then woke up with a terrifying research passion because of the novice HP potion synthesized by Miss Fox's secondary profession, her employer has been like this almost every day.

The level of effort she put in truly put Miss SaltyFox to shame.

"Well, it doesn't really matter now, I should be able to manage by myself," Miss Fox thought to herself.

Previously, Miss Fox did manage to concoct some beginner HP potions when she almost ran out of herbs, but her research into secondary professions essentially came to a standstill.

Because Miss Fox didn't know anything about herbs, she relied on the most rudimentary methods to try them one by one, which made the process incredibly slow.
