Ninth Prince of Da Qin: "Exaggerated?"
Ninth Prince of Da Qin: "Everyone has a few characters in their heart whom they adore above all others."
Ninth Prince of Da Qin: "When seeing a character you love dearly appear right before you, becoming a little excited is only natural."
As long as one had engaged with anime, who didn't hold a few beloved characters close to their heart?
Even after watching countless series and finding even more characters to love, those special few remained distinct.
Ying Zinian had them in his heart as well.
In the future, perhaps she too would join the chat group.
When that time came, he might not necessarily remain as composed as usual.
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Loves Older Sister the Most, has Subaru Natsuki arrived yet?"
Loves Older Sister the Most: "Subaru Natsuki? Who is that?"
Although Rem had learned a few basic things from the initial information provided by the chat group, it hadn't reached the point where she could parse much from a single unfamiliar name.
Upon seeing the name Subaru Natsuki, her immediate reaction was purely one of confusion.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Subaru hasn't arrived yet?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "That means the plot hasn't started, or it's still in the earliest phase."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Sigh, whatever, I'll just upload the memory replays."
Ordinary Group Leader: "I just wonder if you'll still fall in love with Subaru and throw yourself into danger for him after watching the replay."
[Ding! The Group Leader has uploaded a memory replay.]
[Ding! The Group Leader has uploaded a memory replay.]
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Loves Older Sister the Most, @Dragon Roar, Rem and Kanna, I've already uploaded your memory replays."
Ordinary Group Leader: "For Kanna, whether you watch it or not doesn't really matter—there isn't much danger in your world. For Rem, you definitely have to watch it. After all, your world has quite a few dangerous threats."
Ordinary Group Leader: "And several internal-war powerhouses."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Speaking of which, if Subaru had met Crusch instead of Emilia at the start, his future probably would have been much easier, right?"
After a brief sigh, Su Yunqing didn't pursue that topic any further.
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "How should I put it... I feel like the Group Leader didn't even show this level of emotion when Mikoto Misaka first joined."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Even if you say they hold equal rank in your heart, it feels like Rem takes up a bigger share than Mikoto."
Tony Stark stroked his chin and remarked.
Electromaster: "..."
Whether it was important or not didn't seem to make much difference, did it?
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "I suddenly grew a bit curious. If an ordinary transmigrator joined the chat group, would they try to pursue and conquer any of the female members?"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "If they did, who would they target first?"
Not just Tony Stark—Utaha Kasumigaoka, Daigu, Minato Namikaze, and the others were equally curious about this question.
Ordinary Group Leader: "An ordinary transmigrator? An ordinary transmigrator would probably try to conquer everyone! We're all adults here, and monogamous romance is practically an endangered concept in modern times."
Not every transmigrator was as emotionally detached as Bai Xuan or Ying Zinian.
If the person who bound the chat group hadn't been Su Yunqing but an ordinary male anime fan, he most likely wouldn't choose to give up on anyone.
Even if he had to let someone go, it would be selective—the odds of him settling for just one were slim to none.
After all, the word 'love' in the modern real world was just a word. People believed love could happen to anyone except themselves.
The romance people truly yearned for could only be found in anime and novels.
Cook Daigu Into Soup: "Even if someone went for a full harem route, there should still be an order of priority, right?"
Cook Daigu Into Soup: "Who would he choose as the first target?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Hmm... Most likely Esdeath, or Saeko Busujima?"
Su Yunqing pondered for a moment before speaking.
Ice Queen: "Oh?"
Seeing her own name brought up by Su Yunqing, Esdeath was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected to be on that list.
A general feared by all across the Akame ga Kill world was actually considered the easiest woman to conquer in a transmigrator's eyes?
How amusing.
Cook Daigu Into Soup: "Ah... Are you serious?"
Daigu hadn't expected Su Yunqing's answer at all.
Of all the people he imagined, Esdeath was the last name on his mind.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Because compared to other female leads, while Esdeath does have criteria for selecting a mate, her core philosophy means that if she loses in combat, she has no objection whatsoever to becoming the victor's prey."
Ordinary Group Leader: "As the victor, you can do whatever you want with Esdeath!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "This has nothing to do with romantic love—it's purely about difficulty."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Compared to emotional romance, Esdeath only requires you to be stronger than her."
Ordinary Group Leader: "She won't even care if you pursue other women besides her."
Ordinary Group Leader: "However, in return, you'll have to endure her endless challenges in the future."
Ordinary Group Leader: "The moment she has the power to kill you, she won't hesitate in the slightest."
This was precisely what made Esdeath unique.
The law of the jungle—the survival of the fittest—was already deeply ingrained into the very core of her soul.
Unless you could satisfy all her romantic criteria, just like Tatsumi did.
Setting everything else aside, that single requirement of having a 'pure and innocent smile' was something ninety-nine percent of transmigrators could never fulfill.
How many transmigrators would actually want to fall in genuine love with Esdeath?
What they craved was merely Esdeath's physical body.
Ice Queen: "I won't dispute that."
That was indeed Esdeath's genuine mindset. Not just Su Yunqing—anyone who had watched the memory replay knew this.
Thus, far from being angered by Su Yunqing's assessment, she nodded in agreement.
Ordinary Group Leader: "After her, it would probably be Saeko Busujima."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Her case is both simple and complicated."
Ordinary Group Leader: "If someone simply transmigrated into Saeko's world without the chat group, all they'd need to do is stay by her side, and when her bloodthirsty nature reveals itself, comfort her, accept her, and support her. That would pretty much seal the deal."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Of course, now that she's joined the chat group and broadened her horizons, Saeko might have resolved her inner conflict on her own."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Still, compared to others, the difficulty isn't particularly high."
Saeko Busujima: "I..."
That really was the truth.
Just like in the memory replay where she fell for Takashi Komuro because of his understanding and acceptance.
Her heart was nowhere near as resilient as the facade she presented in reality.
Before joining the chat group, she had felt like a monster lurking in the dark, acutely aware of her own sadistic, murderous impulses and deeply terrified of her true self.
