Chapter 412: Untitled
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Where exactly is this? Wasn't I... sealed away? Why does my consciousness feel this clear? And what exactly is this "Dimensional Chat Group"?
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: My awareness inexplicably sharpened just now, and two lines of text appeared in my mind — something about someone called "RawrSoFierce" inviting me to join a "Dimensional Chat Group."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: I have no idea what a "chat group" even is, but something in me says joining wouldn't be a decision I'd regret.
Edward Newgate: Gurararara, this newcomer's got a genuinely solid head on her shoulders too — must be the one Admin brought in.
Ying Zheng The Sovereign: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya — is there some connection between her and Kaguya Shinomiya?
My True Form Is Cola: Whoa, Qin Shi Huang-senpai's spotted something the rest of us missed — another Kaguya, seriously?!
My True Form Is Cola: Different surname, sure, but the exact same given name.
Street-Corner Illustrator: Does this mean the Dimensional Chat Group's got two Kaguyas now?
Eternally Seventeen: Nothing strange about that at all — we've already got two "shills" in this group too, technically.
My True Form Is Cola: Pfft... completely forgot about that one.
Roar of the Evil Dragon: Meow meow meow??? Did someone just mention me? Oh! Two newcomers at once!
I Am Thor, God of Thunder!: Welcome, newcomers, x2! Come to think of it, why are so many people joining lately?
I Am Thor, God of Thunder!: We just got the Bald Caped Baldy a while back, and now two more at once — that's three new members this month already, isn't it?
Hero for Fun: Hey, hey, hold on, "Bald Caped Baldy" — genuinely deserves a complaint, honestly!
Hero for Fun: Damn it... which old fossil at the Hero Association decided that was going to be my official title?
RawrSoFierce: If this were the Arena, I bet that dog would already be sent flying by one of Saitama's punches.
RawrSoFierce: Consider yourself lucky the group's member-protection mechanism keeps everyone from actually attacking each other.
Street-Corner Illustrator: Earth-Splitting Punch, incoming!
Wandering Little Planet: Eh? Earth? Eriri, are you calling me out specifically?
Street-Corner Illustrator: ...No, that's just me describing roughly how strong one of Saitama-sensei's punches actually is.
RawrSoFierce: @Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, newcomer, take a look through the chat history and the pinned announcement in the top right — should clear things up for you pretty quickly.
Street-Corner Illustrator: Whoa, wait, our newcomer's combat Tier is showing as Tier 2?!
Street-Corner Illustrator: A legend! AWSL!
Eternally Seventeen: Tier 2, huh? That's star-busting territory already. No idea exactly where she'd rank within Tier 2 itself, though.
Crazy Diamond: Stronger than me regardless... jealousy's genuinely tearing me apart right now.
Wandering Little Planet: Jealousy's genuinely tearing me apart too...
Crazy Diamond: ...Little Sphere, you're a Tier 1 legend yourself, quit horning in on my misery.
My True Form Is Cola: Little Sphere's basically a guaranteed Tier 2 just off sheer size alone — and with everything else it's picked up along the way, climbing to Tier 1 was never going to be much of a stretch.
My True Form Is Cola: Meanwhile poor little me's stuck at Tier 4. So tragic. sob
My True Form Is Cola: Though, if I really put in the effort, I bet I could climb a tier!
RawrSoFierce: You, putting in the effort? Sure, right after the sun starts rising in the west...
My True Form Is Cola: ...
"..."
The very idea of Umaru saying anything resembling "effort" or "diligence" was something Ryū simply refused to believe. This particular girl made him look positively industrious by comparison — the kind of person who'd lie down given any excuse to, and sit rather than stand whenever remotely possible. A truly dedicated, lifelong salted fish.
He also hadn't expected the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya invitation to actually work. Which raised an interesting question — did that mean she was, herself, capable of breaking free of her own seal?
He couldn't quite recall the exact mechanics of how she'd originally been sealed away — the body up on the moon was presumably just an empty shell, wasn't it?
Ryū mulled the thought over for a few seconds before setting it aside entirely.
Secretary Chika: Finished reading through the pinned announcement, went through the chat history too — so this is what's actually going on.
Secretary Chika: Shocking! Kaguya-chan's been in the Dimensional Chat Group for over a year already, one of the founding members, apparently!
Secretary Chika: And now she's ranked in the group's Tier 2, one of its actual heavy hitters — this is genuinely hard to process.
Kaguya-sama: But every bit of it's true! Though Tier 2 isn't even that impressive, honestly — Tier 1's where the real heavy hitters sit.
Little Sakura of the Tohsaka: Tier 4 here would like to point out that Tier 2 already sounds plenty impressive.
Kaguya-sama: I'm already in the Student Council office — Chika-san, where are you?
Secretary Chika: Oh — hold on, I'm still in the bathroom. Give me a few minutes.
Eternally Seventeen: Both newcomers are girls — I'm seriously starting to suspect Admin-sama's got some ulterior motive going on here.
RawrSoFierce: ...I only invited one of them. How exactly is that an "ulterior motive"?
Eternally Seventeen: You clearly colluded with little Kaguya on this.
RawrSoFierce: Pfft... your imagination's genuinely unstoppable at this point.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Finished the pinned announcement, went through the chat history too — I think I've got a rough grasp of what's happening now.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: To think something this extraordinary could exist in the world. And... the Admin of this "Dimensional Chat Group" is apparently living right in the shinobi world.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Why did I never once know of such a person's existence before now?
Eternally Seventeen: Simple enough, honestly — clearly Admin-sama's actual hometown isn't the shinobi world to begin with.
Eternally Seventeen: The shinobi world doesn't have anime, movies, or video games, after all — Admin-sama has to have come from somewhere else originally.
RawrSoFierce: True enough. The shinobi world's more like... a second home for me at this point, I guess?
RawrSoFierce: No idea if I'll settle here permanently in the long run, but for now, this is where I'm living, at least.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: I see... the pinned announcement mentions the Admin knows the full course of every event here. Is that true?
RawrSoFierce: Not true, actually — I only know a portion of it. Speaking of which, who exactly edited the pinned announcement?
Eternally Seventeen: Wasn't me!
RawrSoFierce: ...Guess I know exactly who it was, then.
Eternally Seventeen: !!!
