[Tohsaka Rin: "Damn it! When did all of you start sneaking ahead?!"]
The 'Pure Group' members who hadn't succeeded yet gritted their teeth, their trust in the other members plummeting instantly.
Even a simple, naive child like Madoka learned to use deceptive strategies (feign one thing while doing another).
How many others could they trust? They thought they were all members of the 'Losers' Alliance,' yet you guys snuck off?
This is intolerable!
[Tohsaka Rin: "I can't stay in this group anymore, unless Lord Su Mo is willing to discuss a business deal worth tens of billions with me."]
[Jibril: "I can't stay in this group anymore. Doesn't Lord Su Mo lack money?"]
After repeating the phrase, March 7th asked curiously. She truly didn't understand the subtext.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Ugh, you're too embarrassing. Just leave the group!"]
The twin-tailed girl sighed silently.
This pink-haired idiot is truly reassuring. Not only won't she sneak ahead, she doesn't even know how to 'drive' (understand innuendo).
She's a perfect stepping stone. At least with her around, I won't be the last one... probably.
[March 7th: "Wait! Why?!"]
The pink-haired girl puffed out her cheeks in protest.
[Tohsaka Rin: "It's hard for someone of your intelligence to understand."]
[March 7th: "Hmph! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Don't look down on a girl for being stupid!"]
The pink-haired girl angrily shook her fist.
After a bout of envy, jealousy, and hatred, the Chat Group finally returned to its usual cheerful atmosphere, and everyone started teasing each other.
After the excitement died down, the twin-tailed girl suddenly remembered something.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Right, as is customary, after Lord Su Mo visits a world—"]
Tohsaka Rin was extremely surprised when she checked the Chat Group's power ranking and saw Su Mo's current level.
Although the Ninth Tier was the first she had ever seen, the prefix 'Quasi' was even more unprecedented.
[Shiroyasha: "It probably means he has one foot in the Ninth Tier. Su Mo previously mentioned reaching Half-Step Zero-Digit."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "I remember the Eighth Tier is Multiversal. Lord Su Mo only just advanced to the Eighth Tier in Madoka's world before going to Little Garden. Does that mean Lord Su Mo is now Trans-Multiversal?!"]
[Shiroyasha: "That should be about right."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "..."]
[March 7th: "Lord Su Mo's absurd rate of power growth isn't surprising anymore, but can someone tell me what 'Trans-Multiversal' means?"]
They could barely understand the Multiversal Domain—the superposition of multiple universes.
What kind of realm is 'Beyond the Multiverse'?
[Shiroyasha: "Don't ask me, I don't know either."]
[Erica: "Madoka."]
[Madoka: "Um, I don't really understand either. Although I'm in the Multiversal Domain, Lord Su Mo brought me up to this level himself."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Good heavens, has Lord Su Mo finally reached a level we can't even comprehend?!"]
The group members once again felt intense shock.
Who could have imagined that in just a few months:
[Jibril: "I suddenly feel it's a good thing that Master favors Shiroyasha. At least we don't have to worry about being downgraded to monkeys in Master's eyes for being too weak or too stupid."]
The Flügel girl suddenly started feeling fortunate.
If Su Mo didn't even care for powerhouses like Shiroyasha and Madoka, wouldn't they have even less of a chance?
[Tohsaka Rin: "You have a point."]
[Shiroyasha: "N-No way, right?"]
Even Shiroyasha was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. What if he stopped caring about them?
Just as this thought arose, Shiroyasha was enveloped from behind by a warm embrace.
[Su Mo: "Of course not."]
[Su Mo: "Although the leap from Eighth Tier to Ninth Tier is a massive evolution, it cannot override an individual's free will, nor can it dictate personal preferences."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Lord Su Mo is here!"]
The twin-tailed girl immediately cheered up.
[Madoka: "Big Brother Su Mo, long time no see!"]
[Jibril: "See? Master still loves me! 0.0"]
[Su Mo: "The core difference between the Ninth Tier and the Eighth Tier is that the Ninth Tier can interfere with worlds they are not aware of."]
[Su Mo: "If an Eighth Tier existence can rule a single Multiverse, the Ninth Tier is qualified to connect to all universes and all stories."]
[Su Mo: "However, my current power still lacks the final hurdle needed for a complete breakthrough."]

TL note:
Alas, this end of chapter batch, I don't want to spend my coins on this fanfic, so I'll just wait for the next batch. If you find one, just let me know and I'll continue translating. I don't really have time to search for updates myself.
As for translation quality, it's dropped a bit lately. I don't have much time to edit most of it, so I just make sure it's readable for the scan. There are a lot of changes, but honestly, I don't really care at this point.
Sorry for the wait. I kinda had a psychotic moment a few days or weeks ago. Stress hit me hard with all the work and studies with my end of relationship as fuse. During that time, I really couldn't think straight or do anything reasonable, and I didn't have the mood for anything. I read all your comments, but I just didn't have the motivation to reply. Some of the projects had prepped batches, so they could still be updated "normally," even while I couldn't do much myself.
Honestly, I want to write so many things, everything that's on my mind, but I just can't. Anyway, I'll continue updating the other projects tomorrow or sometime soon. See ya.
