This Chat Group's Vibe is a Bit Off

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Won't I get found out? If Mei realizes I only said that because I was trying to hit on her, she'll definitely stay away from me, right? And where am I supposed to find a crisis in Changkong City for me to save?!

Steel Prison Big: There really is a crisis in Changkong City. Cocolia is artificially creating the Third Herrscher, and the vessel for the Third Herrscher is Raiden Mei. If you want to raise Mei's affection for you, I suggest taking her straight to beat up Cocolia.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: What?! How dare she turn Mei into a Herrscher! Unforgivable! Wait, that's not right. How do you know so much about my world? And earlier, you also seemed to know Wutina's world very well. Who exactly are you?

Kiana: Th-this isn't right, is it?

Finally, someone had asked him that question!

Qianyi considered how he should explain his identity. Should he make an appearance as an unfathomable prophet and deceive the group members into admiring him and giving him all sorts of benefits? Or should he pretend to be some big shot and make them pay friendship fees, squeezing a fortune out of everyone? Or should he just come clean and admit that he was done pretending?

There were simply too many possible directions.

But this was already the twenty-first century. He could even keep up with the trends and choose a more fashionable identity. For example, he was actually an armed helicopter that had accidentally transmigrated and turned into a human. His biological sex was male, but he had gender dysphoria and had always believed he was female. He was also a homosexual, so he liked women. At the same time, he was a fundamentalist, so he couldn't undergo gender reassignment surgery...

Wasn't that a little too trendy?

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: I see, I understand now. Kiana and Wutina—could they be characters from some anime, novel, or game in Qianyi's world?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: I see. So, like Artoria, I'm a character from a game or anime in someone else's world. That sounds pretty interesting.

Maple Sugar Commander: Really? Even me?

Steel Prison Big: An undeniable fact.

Maple Sugar Commander: Then am I the protagonist?

Steel Prison Big: Yes.

Maple Sugar Commander: Ya? Da? Ze! Then what kind of story does the world where I'm the protagonist tell? It must be an inspiring, beautiful story full of love, right?

After obtaining the powers of an evil female executive, she had continuously defeated the lackeys of the evil organization for the sake of the Magical Girl she admired. In the end, she became the evil organization's commander, an emperor who ruled the entire land. Although it sounded a little boring and nowhere near as interesting as becoming a Magical Girl and defeating evil forces, it was still a decent story.

Steel Prison Big: Mm, it's a story full of love.

Having sex all over QQ Space counted as a love story too, probably?

Maple Sugar Commander: Then can you upload my anime to the group so we can watch it?

Steel Prison Big: ...

Maple Sugar Commander: Is there a problem?

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: Regarding that, if you don't know how to do it, please open the group files and click Upload. There's an internet connection feature inside that can connect to your computer for downloading.

No matter how he thought about it, her story was something that absolutely could not be shared!

Were they supposed to collectively admire how she trained and disciplined all kinds of Magical Girls, tried all sorts of positions they had never seen before, and explored the bodies of Magical Girls?

No! Absolutely not!

Calm down. He absolutely couldn't let Wutina find out that she was the heroine of a 48+ anime world! Nor could he let the others find out.

He needed to come up with an excuse to brush it off.

Steel Prison Big: Unfortunately, that was actually an anime I watched in the world before my plane crash. I've now transmigrated a second time, and this world no longer has your anime.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: What about me, then? What about my story? It must be a story about the beautiful love between Mei and me, right?

Steel Prison Big: ...

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Why are you silent? D-don't tell me there's no future at all between Mei and me?! trembling.jpg

Steel Prison Big: Well, that's a little complicated to explain.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Tell me how things end between Mei and me.

Steel Prison Big: You end up like one of my predecessors—you hang out on the moon. Mei stays on Earth and mentors newcomers at Heavenly Mandate.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: ...

Wasn't that being separated by life and death?! Also, why did you phrase it as "one of your predecessors"? Does that mean your predecessor is already dead? Doesn't that mean I'll die in the future too?

Liar! That had to be a lie! I don't believe it! I hadn't even drunk Mei's delicious juice or eaten Mei-flavored instant noodles yet. How could I die so easily?! Damn it!!!

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: What about the time in between? Mei and I should have been together the whole time, right?

Steel Prison Big: ...

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: R-right? heart suddenly stopping.jpg

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Why are you silent at a time like this? What about everyone else? Why has everyone stopped talking? Don't all go silent at a time like this!

Steel Prison Big: It's complicated to explain. To put it simply, Mei probably felt that staying by your side wasn't going to work. She beat you up on the rooftop, took your dragon, and then joined World Serpent.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: ...

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: My condolences.

Talulah: My condolences.

Child of Prophecy: My condolences.

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: My condolences.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Qianyi.

Steel Prison Big: What?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Stay hidden properly in your own world. Whatever you do, don't let me catch you (^_^). You'll die if I catch you, okay? /(^v^).

The power of a Kaslana—a single strike was enough to blow the top off a polar bear's skull.

What, you asked how strong polar bears were? Then you might have to ask Caesar Gattuso.

Steel Prison Big: I see. Then Mei, Cocolia, and Changkong City's crisis are in your hands. You should be able to handle it alone, right?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: sweating profusely.jpg.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Adoptive Father, please accept my bow! I'm begging you! Teach me how to win Mei over!

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: Why was that the first thing you cared about?!

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: You really only ever think about yourself.

Talulah: Shouldn't we shift the topic to something more important? Like the crisis Kiana is about to face.

Steel Prison Big: Where was I just now?

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: You were talking about Cocolia. Can I ask what connection the Cocolia you're talking about has with the Great Guardian Cocolia from my world?

Steel Prison Big: Nothing special. To put it simply, you can think of them as similar flowers blooming in different worlds.

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: Flowers? Is Cocolia some kind of flower spirit?

Seele was completely baffled. Why had they suddenly started talking about flowers? Was there some profound meaning behind it?

Steel Prison Big: They look very alike and have exactly the same name, but they aren't related. They just happen to be similar.

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: You should've just said that from the start. Why pretend to be cultured and say things nobody understands?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Then here's the question: how do I save Changkong City?

Steel Prison Big: Call your sister. Have her come over and blow Cocolia up with one punch.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: ??? I have a sister?!

Sister.

It was a word that felt utterly unfamiliar to Kiana. Ever since she could remember, the only family member she had ever known was her [father], Siegfried Kaslana.

Beyond that, she had no younger aunts, elder aunts, cousins, or anything of the sort. Even the mother who should have been by her side as she grew up was effectively a nonexistent person. Sometimes, she even wondered whether she had been adopted—otherwise, how could she not even know her mother's name or appearance?

But now, an older sister had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. While it made her happy, it also raised a question in her heart.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Wait, where did I get a sister from? I've never heard Stinky Dad mention her!

Steel Prison Big: Your dad thought she was dead.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Wait, is that something you can just "think"?! Stinky Dad may be unreliable, but not this unreliable!

Even in Shenzhou, they said that when someone was alive, you had to see the person, and when they were dead, you had to see the body. How had it become, in her family, that nobody knew whether someone was alive and there was no trace of them if they were dead?

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: It must have been hard for you, Kiana, having such an unreliable Stinky Dad.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: More than hard. When I was little, he inexplicably made an agreement with me, then vanished without a trace. I searched all over Europe and couldn't find him anywhere. I only came to Changkong City after hearing rumors about a mysterious white-haired, one-armed man appearing here, but there wasn't a single trace of him.

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: He never mentioned your sister?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: This is the first time I've learned I even have a sister. Seriously, I'm starting to feel like, "Qianyi, are you sure you aren't the one from the Kaslana Family?" Anyway, if my sister is still alive, why didn't she come looking for us?

Talulah: I don't know how to comment on that.

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: I think maybe your sister was right not to look for you.

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: Did Kiana's father drink often?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: He used to be a heavy drinker.

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: Then I have no more questions.

Alcoholism, a child not knowing who her mother was, abandoning his child and disappearing on his own... With so many signs put together, the seriousness of the problem was already obvious.

If her own circumstances weren't much the same, she would have wanted to tell Kiana to stop looking for her dad and come form a band with her... ah, no, come share an apartment with her instead.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Why do I feel like everyone's attitude toward me has suddenly gotten weird? Don't misunderstand—my father was actually very good to me. He's not some scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter like you think. He even made an agreement with me before he left.

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: Sigh, perhaps this is what they call Stockholm syndrome.

Child of Prophecy: Sob sob sob, Kiana, crying.jpg

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: Even though I lost both my father and mother at birth and grew up in an orphanage, I at least know that a father who abandons his eldest daughter and lets his younger daughter wander the world alone is no good person.

Talulah: Sigh, can't everyone in the group scrape together even one complete family?

Maple Sugar Commander: My parents treat me very well.

Steel Prison Big: How rude, Talulah. My family is perfectly complete.

Talulah: Sorry.

She had actually forgotten that Wutina had both parents alive and well, a happy family life, and enough allowance to buy a whole room full of Magical Girl figurines.

Qianyi's family also seemed to be quite complete.

It truly fit the saying: some died of drought while others drowned in floods. The four of their families combined couldn't even make up one complete set of parents, while those two had effortlessly accounted for four parents between them.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Qianyi, you still haven't told me—who exactly is my sister?

Steel Prison Big: Your sister is Durandal, Heavenly Mandate's strongest S-rank Valkyrie.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: An S-rank Valkyrie?! No, wait, stop! Don't say anything yet—let me talk first. My sister was doing that well, so why did that stinking old man think she was dead?!

That was an S-rank Valkyrie—S-rank!

The strongest Valkyrie of Heavenly Mandate, the very thing I dreamed of becoming... and now you're telling me my sister was the strongest Valkyrie?

Steel Prison Big: Simply put, when your father was taking you and your sister away by plane, you were attacked. Your sister was struck by metal debris, causing the plane to crash. She fell from several thousand meters up, and below was an endless mountain range.

Child of Prophecy: ?

Talulah: ?

Lower District Flying Head Barbarian: ?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: Wait, she didn't die from that? My sister's life force was that tenacious? No wonder she was the strongest Valkyrie, but why didn't I remember any of this?

Steel Prison Big: Because you had just been born.

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: ? Then how old was my sister at the time?

Steel Prison Big: About eight?

I want to eat Mei-flavored instant noodles: She was fucking eight?!

At eight years old, she endured an explosion and flying metal debris, fell from several thousand meters into a mountain range, and survived. Not only did she not end up in a vegetative state, she went on to become Heavenly Mandate's strongest S-rank Valkyrie.

Were we really sisters? No, were we even the same species?

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: May I ask something? Is the Kaslana Family's nickname Kryptonians?

Customer Service Xiangzi is at your service: Could it be that I'm the only ordinary human left in the whole group?

Kiana could originally have counted as an ordinary human with physical abilities just a tiny bit stronger, but the moment her blood relative appeared, it instantly exposed the fact that she wasn't human at all, but a Kryptonian wearing human skin. After all, if your sister was that awesome, you definitely weren't anything ordinary either.
