I, Izayoi Sakamaki, Joined the Chat Group at the Start

Hearing Izayoi Sakamaki's words, Takanashi Rikka's body trembled slightly. It seemed she had recognized his voice, and she looked up.

When she saw that the passerby who had been like a Primordial Fierce Beast had already retreated, she could not help but sigh in relief.

Then she directly tossed Spider-ko from her arms aside, planted her hands on her hips, and said, "As expected, the Evil King True Eye is invincible! My contractor, thank you for coming to my rescue."

"..."

"..."

"Huh? Is no one here anymore? Great. So many humans suddenly appeared just now—I was scared to death."

Only then did Spider-ko notice the man and woman standing before her. Though their appearances were somewhat unfamiliar, that could not stump her.

"Woohoo, it's Lord Admin and Miu."

"Hello, Spider-ko, and... Rikka."

"Please call me the Evil King True Eye User!"

Seeing that Spider-ko and Rikka had calmed down, Izayoi Sakamaki finally asked, "What made you two come here?"

At that, Spider-ko's eyes lit up. "My peerless divine weapon is about to awaken. How can I remain idle?"

"Following the contract of my previous life, I have come in search of my lost divine artifact."

Hearing their words, Izayoi Sakamaki finally understood.

He understood why these two got along so well.

They were comrades in the same boat. How could their relationship possibly be bad?

Taking Apprentices—You'd Be Welcome as My Maid ### Thus, Izayoi Sakamaki and Fūrinji Miu's date for two gained two extra little followers. Well, one of them was a spider.

"Yummy, yummy..."

Along the way, Spider-ko drooled at the street food lining the road. But she knew that food cost money.

So she could only stare at Izayoi Sakamaki with sparkling eyes.

Izayoi Sakamaki was helpless under her gaze. "Fine. Let's eat first."

As for whether Spider-ko's appearance would cause a commotion, that was not something Izayoi Sakamaki needed to consider.

That was for the diligent Chairwoman to worry about.

They found a decent restaurant by the street, and Izayoi Sakamaki led the three girls and one spider inside to sit down.

"Hello, sir. Pets aren't allowed inside."

As soon as they entered, a waiter came over. After giving Spider-ko a strange look, he spoke to Izayoi Sakamaki.

"A pet... Well, you're not wrong." Izayoi Sakamaki chuckled and pulled out a stack of bills. "But I've got money. Can we eat here?"

"..."

"Yes, sir. Right this way!"

Seeing the money Izayoi Sakamaki had pulled out, the waiter's eyes went wide. He immediately bowed and invited them in.

Afterward, Izayoi Sakamaki and the others were arranged in a private room. Fūrinji Miu asked in confusion, "Izayoi, where did you get all that money?"

"Oh, I exchanged Points for it. One Point can get you quite a lot."

Izayoi Sakamaki casually tossed the money onto the table, sounding unconcerned.

Paper currency without any power in it was practically worthless.

It was not even worth as much as gold.

If any kind of money could be exchanged freely, Izayoi Sakamaki could empty out all of the Thousand Eyes community's reserves in no time.

"You... you can exchange Points for money?"

Takanashi Rikka's eyes widened. She had never known that Points could be exchanged for cash.

Did that mean that if she exchanged some money, she could become the boss of the Holy Chef?

A wildly rebellious idea appeared in Takanashi Rikka's heart and took deep root.

"Order whatever you want."

"Woohoo, it's finally here—the most exciting part."

Spider-ko, who had not spoken much until then, lit up upon hearing Izayoi Sakamaki's words. She grabbed the menu and began ordering wildly.

"Izayoi, aren't you ordering?" Fūrinji Miu asked as she pulled her chair beside his.

"No. I can eat or not eat. I'll only eat if it's especially delicious."

"So you're saying my cooking is really delicious?"

Perhaps Fūrinji Miu had misunderstood something, but she was overjoyed. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

"Yeah, Miu. Your cooking really is good."

"Boss, can I order everything?"

Spider-ko looked at the menu, more than half of which had already been marked, and asked hesitantly.

"As long as you can finish it, order whatever you want."

"Yeah!! Long live the boss."

Spider-ko jumped up happily and, with a few quick strokes, circled everything on the menu.

Before long, the waiter entered. "Have you finished ordering, guests?"

"Yeah. Bring us one of everything on the menu."

Izayoi Sakamaki waved a hand and sent the waiter away.

Spider-ko: ...

So I marked all that for nothing.

But it was fine. Spider-ko could finally enjoy a proper meal of human food.

She would never again have to endure the bitter taste and awful texture of frogs.

After eating and drinking their fill, Izayoi Sakamaki received ten room keycards from the Chairwoman.

After taking the keycards and moving into the luxurious dormitory, Izayoi Sakamaki lay on the soft bed and sank his consciousness into the Chat Group.

Spider-ko: Hooray, I finally got to enjoy a delicious meal. Pretty girl crying.jpg

Takanashi Rikka: I can feel life being nurtured within my body!

Esdeath: Pregnant? That fast?

Fūrinji Miu: No, Rikka means her Soul Weapon. Izayoi isn't that casual a person.

Tsunade: Are you guys on vacation? I'm so jealous.

Kurogane Ikki: Elder Sister Tsunade, you can come too.

Tsunade: No. I just ran into an old friend, so I don't really feel like going.

Zhongli: Oh? Reuniting with an old acquaintance—surely Lady Tsunade must be quite pleased.

Hawkeye: An old acquaintance? I should also find that guy and see whether my swordsmanship has improved.

Tsunade: Pleased? No, I just fought that old acquaintance.

Zhongli: ...A friendly spar?

Tsunade: No, it was simply a fight to the death.

Zhongli: ...

Tony: Hahaha, Mr. Zhongli just died of embarrassment. Oh man, that's hilarious.

Fūrinji Miu: Ah? Sister Tsunade, are you hurt?

Tsunade: Not really. Since joining the Chat Group, my strength has kept increasing, and even my flaws have been made up for. He wasn't my match, so I drove him off.

Tony: @Tsunade Your strength actually improved again? How surprising. As expected of an ageless old lady.

Tsunade: ?? Tony, got the guts to talk in the Battle Space?

Tony: Like I'm afraid of you?

Ding, Tony has opened a Battle Space.

Ding, Tony has opened a live stream.

Ding, Tsunade has entered the Battle Space.

How hot-tempered. As expected, one should never mention age around older women.

For example, that purple-haired old hag from the Type-Moon world, or Purple Mom from Gensokyo.

After sighing, Izayoi Sakamaki opened the Live Stream Room.

Tony, wearing the Mark armor, flew directly at Tsunade. His steel fists relentlessly pounded down on her.

Tsunade could only fight back passively. But even when her Monster Strength Fist and Heavenly Guard Kick struck the Mark armor, they only produced loud bangs. They could not hurt Tony himself at all.

Before long, the Chat Group's notification sounded.

Ding, battle over. Tony wins.

Tony: Hahaha, Old Lady Tsunade, weren't you having a great time beating me up last time?

Tsunade: ...Nephew, don't worry. Next time, Auntie will teach you a proper lesson.

In the Naruto world, Tsunade used Chakra Scalpel to treat her injuries, feeling terribly depressed.

Back when she had first joined the Chat Group, she had traded her precious Points to Tony for gold, only to discover afterward just how valuable Points were. So she had given Tony a beating in the Battle Space.

She had not expected Tony to be able to turn around and beat her up now.

It seemed she needed to properly improve her strength instead of wasting time on flashy but impractical things.

A Contract of Selling Yourself and a Soul Weapon ### The news of Iron Man beating up an older beauty sparked a heated discussion in the Chat Group.

Takanashi Rikka: Shocking! A certain man refused to be looked down on in his youth and actually beat up an older woman!

Fūrinji Miu: Um... Sister Tsunade, are your injuries serious?

Tsunade: I'm fine. Just minor injuries. Serious injuries won't be carried out of the Battle Space.

Hawkeye: Tsunade, you're getting weaker and weaker.

Gilgamesh: Heh. Luckily, you didn't get to participate in the battle between humanity and the Deities back then. Otherwise, humanity definitely would have lost.

Tony: Exactly. Even though I cheated, I still won. Someone like you would definitely lose even if you cheated, right?

Izayoi Sakamaki: This is the first time I've seen someone make cheating sound so righteous.

Izayoi Sakamaki also knew that the people in the group did not bear Tsunade any ill will. They merely wanted to steer Tsunade, who had been neglecting proper matters, back onto the right path.

With so many people playing the villain, do they want me to play the good guy?

Izayoi Sakamaki shook his head with a wry smile. Honestly, he did not think he was suited for this role.

But since the group members had handed him the opportunity, it would be rather unreasonable for him not to take it.

Izayoi Sakamaki: Tsunade, your innate potential is actually excellent. Your bloodline contains great power. You simply lack the ability to awaken it.

Tsunade: Boss, do you mean... Wood Style? I really don't have that ability.

Izayoi Sakamaki: No, I mean the Sage Body. If you can't awaken it yourself, can't you use Points? Don't let your imagination limit your potential.

Takanashi Rikka: Indeed. I, too, was once restricted by worldly conventions and forgot that Points are the Cauldron of All Creation.

Tsunade: Points... I understand.

Izayoi Sakamaki: Heh, if the Sage Body and Sage's Eye were combined, it might even reach the Five-digit level.

Spider-ko: Sage Body and Sage's Eye? I thought Elder Sister Tsunade's world was full of ninjas. Why does it have so many strange things?
