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

Paid Newbie: Don't get me wrong, you caused the collapse yourself, but as for the spider, that was definitely my doing.

Noelle: ...

Noelle was torn between laughter and tears. She'd thought she'd transmigrated into a ghost, but it turned out she was a high-tech android. She'd assumed the newbie who paid for her services was a kind soul helping her for free, but it turned out he was just playing her for a fool. Yet now, he seemed quite attentive to her. She was utterly conflicted.

Paid newbie: If you guys are so interested, why don't you download Noelle yet?

My Favorite Magical Merry: Even so, it's weird to only have one head, isn't it, you delinquent Merry-chan~

Grocery store owner: After hearing about these functions, I'm quite curious about how they manage to cram so many things into one head, but it depends on Noelle's wishes.

Grocery store owner: You can't just download it and then disassemble a person's head into parts, can you?

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: Then after reinstalling, I found a few extra parts, which slowed down my thinking and made Noelle a complete idiot?

Noelle: ...Please don't utter such terrifying statements so calmly!

Seventeen-year-old girl: Yes, although Noelle keeps asking people to download her, she doesn't seem willing to go with anyone.

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: By the way, isn't paying for these days basically promoting round-cornered girl dolls?

Paid newbie: What, do you want to order a custom one?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hehe~☆

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: I had a little success tonight, I got a whole bunch of strange ores~

My favorite is Magical Merry!

My favorite is Magical Meryl: Meryl-chan, come on, Meryl-chan, do that again~

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hehe~☆

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Well... I mean, even the doctor probably doesn't know what I look like, how could they possibly imagine what I look like?

My favorite is Magical Mary: ...

The doctor suddenly felt a pang of sadness. This was the question he had been avoiding all along; why didn't Mei-chan have any self-awareness?

If that's the case, why did you tell him in the first place that they, as Mei-chan, were also boys?! Wouldn't it have been better to keep it from him all along?! (Tears streaming down her face)

Noelle: So, is there no one in the group whose world is even remotely reliable? (So tired)

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: What are the standards for "reliable"?

Paid Newbie: I think my side is pretty reliable, excluding the fact that I'm about to debut as a streamer at Chaldea.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Ah!

Seventeen-year-old girl: ? What's wrong with just filling in the numbers? Did you think of something~?

Newbie (just filling in the blanks): It's nothing, I just got bitten on the butt by something, it didn't hurt much, just a little sudden.

Noelle: ...Did you just casually say something that was packed with information?

Grocery store owner: Speaking of the most reliable one, it should be Shangshi, right?

Newbie here to fill the gaps: Monster Hunter, too bad I, a tough guy, don't have two hands.

Seventeen-year-old girl: It seems like Xiao Shangshi has been busy hunting all the time~

The seventeen-year-old girl: On the rare occasions I've run into her online, she's always just finished a hunting quest and is resting, though she occasionally uploads some monster meat.

A seventeen-year-old girl: She's a very busy person!

My favorite is Magical Mary: She seems to be very free at seventeen, and she always uploads strange things when no one is around, and then downloads them back herself.

My favorite thing about Magical Mary: It's all weird stuff—a breast wrap, a Japanese-style loincloth, a money box, you name it...

My Favorite Magical Merry: I suddenly remembered something, I have to go now! Goodnight, remember to go to sleep early! Merry-chan! Badass Merry-chan!

Seventeen-year-old girl: Hey! If you've got the guts to peep, then don't run away!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I feel like I missed out on millions!!

Newbie paying for this: I'm losing money hand over fist!!

Noelle: What kind of group did I join...?

Noelle couldn't help but let out a mournful cry!

[Beep! A newbie in the group has triggered a world quest!]

Chapter 125: Even missions outside the main plot have time limits!

Paid newbie: ...

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: ...Well, it was pretty sudden.

The group chat was going well, and then suddenly this group announcement popped up. It felt like being doused with a bucket of cold water when things were getting exciting. On such a hot day, it must have been pretty refreshing.

[Group Announcement: In the world where the newbies are joining the group, the world's consciousness has detected that the player who last entered the game world possesses an item capable of altering the world to some extent. Having learned a lesson the hard way, the world's consciousness will not allow such a dangerous item to exist. All group members participating in the mission are requested to destroy it!]

[Personal Request Mission: A request specifically requested by the World Consciousness] [New players must participate to fill the quota; other participants are not limited.]

[Being busy as the world's consciousness, I noticed that the newbie in the group had amazing luck (just kidding) and did quite well on the last mission, so I'm issuing another request.]

[If you also manage to eliminate the players who come to this world, there will be an extra small reward!]

[By the way, while the World Consciousness provided some assistance by preventing that player from using items for a short period, it won't last too long~]

The above is a standard group task description. It doesn't offer much information; it simply tells you directly that you should start a group to fill the large grave. And it's an urgent notice.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Oh, why does this task have a time limit?

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: I hate these kinds of quests no matter what game it is!

For newbies who pay: There are also escort missions! Escort missions are incredibly annoying!

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: Yeah, besides, I can't beat them, unless Uncle and Purple Mom come to help, um, or even Ban-ye who's been lurking for days!

Newbie here just filling in the numbers: Unless it's one of these three veterans in the group, going to the Great Tomb is basically just feeding us kills...

Noelle: Does the Great Tomb refer to Ainz Ooal Gown?

Paid newbie: Yes, Ainz Ooal Gown

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I've decided, I'll get stronger first!

She needs to reach at least level 30 to learn Sword and Shield Assault; otherwise, Miss Fox doesn't think she can even attempt the Great Tomb of Nazarick raid. Before her first awakening, she'll have a tough time against the Great Tomb of Nazarick in any situation.

Anyway, it affects the world, not her. As long as we are careful and hide, the day the golden elf wakes up will be her day to turn the tables!

[Ding~ A warm little reminder from the world's consciousness~]

That player intended to use a forbidden item because they were just filling in for newbies in the group. If they succeeded, they would definitely do something strange to the newbies in the group!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

For new players who pay: Is it a mandatory quest, or is the timer applied even when you're not actively participating in story events?

Grocery store owner: But what did you do to make up the numbers that made people hate you so much?

Seventeen-year-old girl: Little filler, you've really offended people! Did you steal someone's wife or add some weird color to their head?

Paid newbie: Purple Mom doesn't seem like an old person at all; she learns new things incredibly fast! (Thumbs up)

Newbie here to fill the gaps: Pshaw! That Ainz Ooal Gown, his entire skeleton is green every day! I don't need to add anything!

Noelle: If you want to enrage Ainz Ooal Gown... did you kill that NPC?

Grocery store owner: I see. The death notice that came along with the critical illness notice just now was because you were fighting those people.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: _(′?`」∠)_ Yes...

Aizen put down the Onmyoji materials in his hand and adjusted his glasses. He began to mentally calculate what excuse he could use to disappear from Seireitei for a while.

The atmosphere in Seireitei has been a bit tense lately, and I haven't been able to get away from it.

It's unclear which female Shinigami, addicted to Chinese BL (Boys' Love) novels, started writing BL fanfiction about the male characters in her squads, sparking a trend that quickly became a tradition within the Female Shinigami Association. Strange traditions abound. Incidentally, Aizen, Byakuya Kuchiki, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Gin Ichimaru are among the most frequently appearing characters. They're either supporting or main characters. That's secondary; even if someone saw Aizen, they wouldn't care too much, just laugh it off. But then, some reckless Shinigami wrote a fanfiction about the Captain-Commander, a heavily ecchi BL fanfiction where the Captain-Commander is the bottom and all the male Shinigami in the Gotei 13 are his harem. And someone even read it at a meeting, only to have it confiscated by the Captain-Commander. The next day, the Captain-Commander, furious, summoned everyone from each squad to a meeting, demanding the Shinigami who wrote the fanfiction step forward and apologize. I thought that was the end of it. But wait... no one stepped forward to apologize!

At first, everyone thought they had the guts to write it but not the guts to admit it. However, after investigation, it was discovered that this erotic fanfiction seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and spread throughout Seireitei, with no trace of any writer. A search of all capable printing businesses inside and outside Seireitei revealed that none of them had ever printed this fanfiction. Yet, this fanfiction appeared suddenly like a ghost and spread widely throughout Seireitei, making it impossible to even pinpoint its earliest appearance.

This has directly led to the entire Seireitei being on high alert, with an incredibly tense atmosphere. At every meeting, the Captain-Commander would intentionally or unintentionally bring up whether the writer of that fanfiction had been apprehended, resulting in any suspicious activity within Seireitei being investigated and taken away. Aizen couldn't simply leave either.

"If I create a fake body, I don't know if I can still cover it up after crossing worlds..." For the first time in history, Aizen felt a headache coming on.

It's true that he can never maintain a calm attitude whenever anything involves his "daughter," the newbie who's just there to make up the numbers.

Aizen unconsciously smiled slightly. He didn't know when it started, but he had begun to care about others, especially someone he had never met before.

Perhaps it's easier to care about others through a chat group than in real life.

Grocery store owner: I'll try my best to get away and participate in this task.

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Thank you so much, Dad! Dad really loves me the most!!

Newbie just filling in the numbers: But Dad might not be available, so Mom... (ingratiating smile)

Seventeen-year-old girl: Hmm?

*Snap!* Yukari Yakumo of Gensokyo opened her folding fan, covering half her face, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Pshaw! Look at my mouth, it's Sister Zi, the forever seventeen-year-old Sister Zi!

Newbie just filling in the numbers: So, Sister Zi, are you free...? (fawning smile)

Noelle: ...Your expression changes so fast!

Seventeen-year-old girl: Little filler sister~ (joyful laugh)

Paid newbie: This guy is the ultimate chameleon in the group. He calls her Sister Zi or Daddy when he needs something, and Mommy Zi or Uncle Zi when he doesn't.

Seventeen-year-old girl: I sympathize with your situation, and I'm also very willing to help.

Newbie who's just filling a spot: You have the nerve to say that! @PaidNewbie

Newbie just there to fill a spot: So, Sister Zi, are you...?

Seventeen-year-old girl: But I can't leave you, Zi-jie!

*Snap!* The fan slammed shut again! 'Yakumo Yukari was so delighted! She felt a surge of immense satisfaction! She was finally able to avenge this great grudge! The pleasure was almost overwhelming her!

However, despite her feigned innocence as a filler character, she truly couldn't leave. Everyone else in Gensokyo could leave, but she was the only one who couldn't simply depart.

The barrier of Gensokyo is a barrier that subverts common sense, a realm that overturns common sense. It is the most fundamental core of the great barrier, the one that cannot be separated from.

You might think it's fine to go to the outside world of Gensokyo and have some fun, but Yakumo Yukari wouldn't dare to try crossing worlds so casually.

Seventeen-year-old girl: So, little filler sister, why don't you go and try to find that Uchiha Madara?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Ugh, I'm so annoyed! But I have to stay elegant!

Chapter 126 The Unyielding Green Hills!

Newbie just filling in the numbers: @Uchiha Madara

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Master Ban? Master Ban! Is Master Ban there?

Newbie here to fill in: Uchiha Madara, are you there?!

Newbie commenter: Madara Uchiha, your brother ran away with Hashirama Senju! And they even got married!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

"So, what should we do now?" Miss Fox shifted uncomfortably, looking quite distressed.

The task of filling the Great Tomb can definitely be left to Aizen.

But Miss Fox wasn't worried about whether Aizen's father could handle the Great Tomb of Nazarick; she was worried about whether he could spare the time to come and help. After all, throughout the entire Bleach universe, Aizen's father was an incredibly busy man. Miss Fox didn't believe she possessed any charm that would necessarily persuade him to temporarily set aside his own affairs and come to help. Therefore, contacting Madara Uchiha, who had been lurking in the group since joining, was a crucial piece of insurance.

Uncle Ban might not be able to help for free, but that's okay, we can hire him.

What was lacking in the Naruto Warring States period? Resources, money, and food! While Miss Fox lacked all of these, she had plenty of money! Lots and lots of gold coins!

If something can be solved with gold coins, then it's not a problem!

"...But the problem is, Mr. Ban is ignoring me." This is extremely awkward. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; having money but nowhere to spend it is also problematic.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: _(′?`」∠)_ Ah... Master Ban is ignoring me...

Grocery store owner: Just filling in the numbers. Look at what time it is now.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Paid newbie: Hmm, if our times were still synchronized...
