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

Newbie just filling in the numbers: There's a family of gods...who's the female lead?

Paid newbie: No, I only remember the characters voiced by Mamiko Noto, I've forgotten everything else!

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: Shimogamo Yasaburo: You guys shouldn't always associate voice actors with characters!

The Passing Away: Is this also Merlin?

Newbie commenter: It's still the Orb Ring!

Does the movie "The Eccentric Family" not have a female lead?

Benten felt a little itchy, but the topics in the chat group were a bit off-topic and seemed to be heading down a dangerous path.

How to steer the conversation back on track? The usually carefree and unrestrained Benten hesitated at this moment...

"It's snow..."

Benten: Is there no female protagonist in my light novel?

Newbie here to fill in: Huh? Is it snowing or is the moon full over Benten?

Paid Newbie: How many times have you watched The Eccentric Family?! @PaidNewbie

Mourning: A hundred times, a hundred times (humorous)

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Springtime cherry blossom viewing, summer stargazing, autumn full moon appreciation, winter first snowfall.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: In this situation, who wouldn't be sentimental, especially Miss Benten who keeps everything bottled up inside?

Benten: Oh, you seem to like me a lot~

Newbie just there to fill a spot: No, I kind of hate you.

Sorrowful Passing: Heavy Strike

A seventeen-year-old girl: Does Kokoro like Mamiko Noto?

Paid newbie: This should be what I like.

Paid newbie: If I'm not mistaken, this guy likes Shimogamo Yasaburo.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I don't like it either.

Newbie commenter: "The Eccentric Family" is pretty good; I've read the novel.

Newbie here: The character development is very good, and the protagonist, Shimogamo Yasaburo, is also quite good.

Newbie commenter: It just feels like the characters in the show never thought of rebelling; humans are human, and tanuki are tanuki.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Shimogamo Yasaburo disdains being an ordinary tanuki, yet he's still a 'tanuki,' so he chose to be a tanuki.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I can only say that my values ​​are rather extreme.

Paid newbie: Not on the same wavelength

Benten:...

Living in the world of tengu, occasionally participating in human gatherings, and always getting entangled with the tanuki of the Shimogamo family.

Benten immediately recognized who this newbie was referring to as a "human" in his eyes.

If the protagonist of a light novel is Shimogamo Yasaburo, then the tengu he will encounter are Akadotama, and the humans he will meet are Benten...

Benten: Ugh, this is really annoying~

Benten: I really want to see what kind of person you are, group admin!

Paid newbie: He's a pervert! (Sound)

Newbie just trying to fill a spot: Speaking of which, I have a chance to randomly invite people once a month.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: I'll give it a try

Miss Fox didn't care at all what Benten thought of her.

Seeing that the topic had ended, she immediately kicked out what she had been thinking about: the group owner's random member invitation function!

Once a month, and with the month drawing to a close, Miss Fox is eager to use this opportunity.

Newbie here: Come on, let me see who this random invite feature can get me!

Click it!

[Calling for players, please wait...]

Application successfully submitted

Miss Fox excitedly licked her lips, staring at the messages in the chat box, waiting for the announcement of new members joining the group.

What kind of person could it be...?

"..."

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Where is everyone?

Newbie paying: What, I got rejected?

Ordinary high school student: Mr. Kamijou thinks, this is something I can't refuse, right?

There was no option to decline when I received the invitation...

...

[Ding! A newbie invited you to join the Dimensional Chat Group]

Agree/Yes

A handsome young man, acting like a police officer, stared warily at the unexpected invitation that suddenly appeared in his field of vision. His attention was diverted to both sides, fearing an ambush.

Although there was no option to refuse, he did not choose it.

Let's play it safe and see if this option disappears!

Chapter 159 Taking Another Step Back

Where are the people they brought over?

Miss Fox fell into deep thought.

The group owner has the authority to make decisions, and the backend should show a notification that the request has been sent. Why hasn't this person shown up yet?

Miss Fox remembers that there was no option to refuse the invitation to join this stupid group. Does anyone really think they would just ignore it?

After thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the only way to understand it.

"Ugh..."

Who did we pull in? Why are they so wary?

The fox sighed; its passion was gone.

Noticing the NPC-like, dull-witted nobles below, my thoughts started to stir again.

Secretly establish a kingdom as a foundational power, purge useless parasites, then enlighten the populace and advance technology, expelling all alien races that oppress humanity...

This is not the kind of idea Miss Fox would come up with.

Has things finally come to this?

The fox sighed again.

Things eventually escalated to the point where I no longer understood what my own mind was thinking.

Brain: See these nobles? Use them to rule the kingdom! Don't ask why!

Fox: Why?

Well, it turns out that Miss Fox and the Brain are two different things.

Miss Fox smiled and stopped the little drama playing out in her mind.

There's definitely something wrong here, and we need to find out what's causing it.

"This idea is known to have originated after completing the mission to defeat Ainz Ooal Gown..."

Was he unknowingly put into some kind of state by Ainz Ooal Gown?

Perhaps it wasn't Ainz Ooal Gown. Back then, Ainz Ooal Gown was sealed away by Aizen, and she wasn't in her mortal form either. Even if she had any tools, she couldn't do anything.

That means there's an NPC inside the Great Tomb that she doesn't know about, someone with some strange last words.

Let's assume that's the case for now...

Another way to interpret it, using a fantasy analogy, is that something in the shadows is guiding her thoughts...

Bang!

"Let me tell you! If anything happens to any of us from the Blue Rose, even if we can no longer operate in the kingdom, you will pay the price!"

The mansion's gate was kicked open, and the entire Blue Rose, fully armed, stormed in.

Lajus raised her ancestral magic sword and pointed it at the fox lady in the main seat: "Even if it's His Highness the Crown Prince, I will not compromise!"

Behind them, the Blue Roses and their group drew their weapons.

"..."

very quiet.

The scene was unexpectedly quiet.

After confirming that the passive ability to reduce presence was not activated, Miss Fox remained silent and stared at Lajus.

Lajus blushed, unsure whether to put down her ancestral demon sword or not, so she just stood there awkwardly.

"I told you that this wicked elf would be fine."

Compared to the chuunibyou (delusional) captain Lahagi, the rest of the Blue Rose members didn't have any troubles.

Seeing that Miss Fox didn't seem to be in any trouble, he relaxed and greeted her, "You were quick. I was thinking of coming to find you after I got out."

Yesterday, Yibiluai and Gegran worked together to barely break free from the small world of the Mountain and River Map and officially obtained ownership of the Mountain and River Map.

I had originally planned to visit Miss Fox today after resting and recuperating, but I didn't expect you to run back last night... and get kidnapped.

What's wrong with these nobles?

Ibiruai poked the puppet-like nobles, completely failing to perceive them as living, breathing human beings.

Shivered.

"It must be because of the clothes the fox was wearing," said the much fatter hamster, stroking its fur. "When it was looking at the fox's clothes, it was shaking uncontrollably..." You could tell, after all, the hamster's fur was all puffed up.

Because he instinctively sensed the overwhelming danger posed by the world-class item, he lost his temper...

Hmm, perhaps we can use this to make up for the loss of not having much to decompose in the Great Tomb.

After all, this world still has legacies left behind by players other than Ainz Ooal Gown.

"It seems that these nobles have been watching me ever since I showed my face."

After thinking for a moment, Miss Fox got down from the main seat and grabbed the tall and imposing Prince Balbro, the first prince of the kingdom, by the hand.

Starting by taking control of the first contact, Miss Fox followed the clues and discovered that she seemed to have inadvertently eliminated the entire kingdom's most likely successor to the current king.

If it weren't for her stunning beauty, the entire kingdom's high-ranking officials would probably have been reshuffled after today.

"I never expected that the eldest prince would be involved. The arrest warrant was even issued secretly, bypassing the authority of the current king..."

Would you call this doing a good deed?

After this incident was reported, based on Miss Fox's limited knowledge of royal power struggles, the eldest prince is likely to fall out of favor...

That's not right either. This eldest prince is so close to so many nobles, so it doesn't matter much if he falls out of favor.

After all, in the context of medieval European states, nobles, though called nobles, were in reality no different from individual kings.

The territory is privately owned, and each individual's army is also privately owned. Apart from having to pay taxes to the royal family, they are basically no different from the royal family, except that the royal family has more authority.

The problem is that it seems the nobles in this kingdom have the strongest fists.

"I see. If Miss Elf has these nobles under her control, perhaps we can make use of them."

Brian peered out, carefully observing one of the nobles. He was absorbing natural energy, and his internal energy was becoming increasingly dense. He no longer looked like a man in his thirties, but rather a handsome young man in his twenties.

It has to be said that for this kind of cultivation path that involves comprehending the universe, beauty is a basic function.
