[Haibara Ai: Ugh, introductions again… such a pain. Can't we just skip this boring part? Haibara Ai. An ordinary researcher.]
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Is this the trendy way to introduce yourself now? I'm Random Passerby, an ordinary transmigrator!]
[Haibara Ai: Heh. Someone who doesn't even dare give their real name.]
[Random Passerby: Damn it! My name is Passerby, okay? Last name Lu, first name Ren—what's wrong with that?!]
[Fubuki: Hmph. As expected, a bunch of small fries. Listen well—I am Hellish Blizzard, ruler of the B-Class summit and leader of the Blizzard Group!]
[Borsalino: Oh? A newcomer joined? Welcome, welcome~]
[Random Passerby: The Yellow Monkey big shot is here! Welcome, boss! Confetti!]
[Borsalino: Low profile, low profile. So this is our new member, huh.]
[Haibara Ai: B-Class hero… so that means there's A-Class above that? Don't tell me there's an even higher rank.]
[Random Passerby: Above B-Class is A-Class, then S-Class. S-Class is the highest… at least as far as the Hero Association is concerned.]
[Haibara Ai: Oh, I see. So you're the leader of the small fry at the very top of the small fry pile.]
[Fubuki: How rude! If you were in front of me, I'd let you taste my Hellstorm!]
[Haibara Ai: Sounds impressive. @Random Passerby, how strong is she actually?]
[Random Passerby: Hellish Blizzard? She's definitely stronger than the two of us. As for Zhang Zhenren, it depends on which version. As for the real big shots in the group… they'd all beat her one-handed.]
[Kobayashi: Objection! I wouldn't!]
[Random Passerby: Kobayashi, you're being too modest. You just need to close the door and release Tohru.]
In the One Punch Man world, Fubuki—who had been in the middle of a meeting—suddenly went ice-cold.
The members of the Blizzard Group instantly began trembling.
Their boss's expression had darkened in an instant, cold pressure rolling off her in waves.
Did we buy discounted clothes again yesterday?
Or… did someone mess up the tea?
[Orochimaru: Heh. Another newcomer?]
[Random Passerby: Orochimaru-sama is here too. The One Punch Man world has all kinds of weird stuff—should be right up your alley.]
Seeing Orochimaru speak, Borsalino raised an eyebrow and waved lazily toward the maid waiting by the balcony entrance.
Ever since reuniting with Hancock, he hadn't found a good chance to send the Devil Fruits over.
If Orochimaru hadn't shown up now, he might've forgotten the debt entirely.
Soon, under Borsalino's instructions, the maid brought over two boxes containing Devil Fruits.
"Hm… now how did this work again…"
After sending the maid away, Borsalino fiddled with the chat group's trade function.
Moments later, the familiar virtual trading interface appeared.
Once the two Devil Fruits were transferred, he returned to the chat.
In the short time he'd been gone, the chat log had already scrolled several pages—clearly, the new Hellish Blizzard was very active.
[Borsalino: @Orochimaru The Devil Fruits have been sent~]
[Orochimaru: So these are Devil Fruits… eat one and gain power comparable to a bloodline limit. How fascinating.]
[Borsalino: Remember—one person can't eat two Devil Fruits… well, usually can't.]
[Random Passerby: @Borsalino Boss, do you still have spare Devil Fruits on hand?]
[Borsalino: Hmm? Probably. Why—interested?]
[Random Passerby: Can't help it. It's hard for useless people to turn things around. No talent, no cheat ability. I don't dare split my focus on learning ninjutsu. If I want to get stronger fast, Devil Fruits are my only hope…]
In the Swallowed Star world, Passerby sighed as he typed.
When he first transmigrated, he'd dreamed of being the protagonist.
Reality, however, had been brutal—no talent, no golden finger.
After grinding for over ten years, he'd barely become a mid-level trainee at the Extreme Dojo.
No strength meant no thigh to hug.
A different base city from Luo Feng meant no chance to even sell himself for loyalty.
He'd long since come to terms with it.
Even after joining the dimensional chat group, he never believed he had a protagonist's fate.
[Borsalino: I'll help you ask around. Should be doable. Zoan or Paramecia? If it's Logia, you might be waiting a long time—or forever.]
[Random Passerby: Zoan is fine. Preferably something strong… but I don't have anything to trade right now. Boss, could you hold onto it for me?]
[Borsalino: Holding it just means it'll sit in storage anyway. I'll find one for you first. In return… let me visit your world three times.]
Seeing Passerby vent like this, Borsalino couldn't help but feel a bit of empathy.
Sure, his own situation was far better—but somewhere along the way, he'd turned into a full-fledged slacker himself.
Since they were both transmigrators, helping out wasn't a big deal.
And honestly, the opportunities in the Swallowed Star world were ridiculous—trading a Devil Fruit for access was a steal.
[Random Passerby: Deal! Boss, just say the word whenever you want to come over—I'm ready anytime!]
[Kobayashi: Ahh, I'm so jealous… Borsalino-san gets to visit other worlds again. I want to see other worlds too.]
[Random Passerby: You can come if you want, Kobayashi. I live alone—just don't cause too much damage.]
[Kobayashi: Really? Can I bring Tohru with me?]
[Random Passerby: Uh… I don't mind, as long as she doesn't go berserk. But she's not in the group, so she probably can't come with you, right?]
[Kobayashi: Ah… then never mind. Your world sounds dangerous. I'm just a normal office worker, after all.]
[Haibara Ai: If you want to visit another world, Kobayashi, you can come to mine. I have plenty of space—you can stay with me.]
[Random Passerby: Don't go, Kobayashi! The black-bellied, sharp-tongued girl's world is super dangerous!]
[Haibara Ai: Stop spouting nonsense. What's dangerous about my world?]
[Fubuki: Wait. What do you mean by "going to other worlds"?]
[Random Passerby: @Haibara Ai Here's a joke—the Detective Conan world isn't dangerous.]
[Random Passerby: @Fubuki Literally what it sounds like. As long as someone from another world sends an invitation, the invited person can travel there.]
[Borsalino: Mm… I can vouch for that. But before visiting another world, I'd recommend getting a rough idea of how dangerous it is.]
[Borsalino: My world's always open—so long as you bring something that interests me.]
[Random Passerby: Boss already went to Jotaro's world before and helped him defeat DIO… Oh right, DIO's the final boss villain over there. Boss is insanely strong!]
On the other end of the screen, Fubuki fell silent.
Other worlds…
Monsters, power systems beyond esper abilities…
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard.
For the first time since joining, the Blizzard Group's queen felt something she rarely did—
Curiosity.
