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

"Ah, it's over. The sun has finally come out."

Glancing up at the sun, Hisato Asuka naturally lay atop Dean's head.

"The truth behind the Hamelin Pied Piper?"

The words of those 130 Little Fairies echoed in her ears.

"In one beautiful possibility, the 130 of us children abandoned our families and hometowns. Under the Pied Piper's leadership, we established a Community called Town. There were no worries, no pain—only beautiful happiness."

Was there really such a place in the world?

Wouldn't that be a utopia?

"Anyway, we won this battle in the end. Don't you think so, Mel?"

Looking at the Little Fairy sleeping soundly on her shoulder, Hisato Asuka smiled faintly.

"We won." Kasukabe Yō, who had also gone through a fierce battle, finally relaxed. She slumped onto the ground, sitting back-to-back with Leticia. Looking up at the sun radiating light and heat, she sighed. "What a beautiful sun."

"Yeah. Only Hakoniwa could have a sun like this."

Leticia replied. Only Hakoniwa allowed vampires to live beneath the sunlight.

"Mm, just like Izayoi."

"It does smell rather nice. But Master's light and warmth are only for pretty girls, right?"

"That's certainly... Hahaha..."

"Hahaha."

As though they had thought of something amusing, both girls could not help laughing, leaving Black Rabbit and Lily nearby rather confused.

At this moment of universal celebration, only one group fell silent.

It was the Defense Army and Mandara. They were all either planners or informed participants in the matter of summoning a Demon King.

They were willing to cast aside their lives for Salamandra's glory, yet they had lost solely because they lacked strength.

"Sandora already knows about this. In the end, we've even become No Name's Subordinate Community."

Looking at the soldiers who would rather die than abandon Salamandra's glory, Mandara delivered the news with a heavy heart.

Everyone fell silent. There were no complaints, no curses, and no despair—only endless silence.

"It's all my fault. I acted on my own because I lacked strength and summoned a Demon King. We tried to gain a little and lost a lot, even sacrificing so many of our comrades."

"Vice Leader, it isn't your fault. We all agreed to this plan. It's just that this New Demon King was far beyond anything we imagined."

"Yeah. So what if we become No Name's subordinate? We don't care. As long as the Community's banner and name remain, that's enough."

Hearing Mandara's words, the soldiers below hurriedly rose and spoke.

"Hah." After hearing the soldiers' reassurances, Mandara let out a long breath. Thinking of the harsh terms that might come with becoming a subordinate, his heart felt like it was about to explode.

What if No Name forcibly demanded that Salamandra hand over all its wealth? Would everyone in the Community be unable to afford food?

"I understand. Thank you, everyone. I'll go speak with No Name first."

Gritting his teeth, Mandara seemed to make up his mind and headed toward Salamandra's treasury.

When he emerged again, he had arrived outside Izayoi Sakamaki's door and knocked softly.

"Something wrong?"

"I've come to fulfill my promise."

Mandara stood tensely before the door. He knew that if the person inside so wished, not only Salamandra's glory, but all of Salamandra could vanish from Hakoniwa.

At this moment, his pride had been utterly shattered by Izayoi Sakamaki's heaven-defying strength.

The Godlike Aqua Joins the Group Again as a Newcomer

"I've come to fulfill my promise."

Izayoi Sakamaki, who had just lain down on his bed and was preparing to chat in the group, stroked his chin with interest upon hearing the voice outside.

A promise?

What promise?

Half of Salamandra's assets, or the Gift of a Pureblood Dragon?

But Salamandra had already become No Name's Subordinate Community. Those verbal promises no longer counted for much.

He could not be bothered to pursue it anyway. If he needed something, he could simply take it himself.

"Come in."

Creak—

After the door opened, Mandara silently walked toward Izayoi Sakamaki.

Under Izayoi Sakamaki's puzzled gaze, Mandara directly knelt down and pressed his forehead deeply against the floor.

"Oh? Are you trying to win my sympathy?"

Izayoi Sakamaki merely watched Mandara's exaggerated yet perfectly understandable gesture with indifference.

"If my personal dignity and life could earn Your Excellency's sympathy, that would naturally be for the best."

So that meant his dignity and life could not possibly earn Izayoi Sakamaki's sympathy?

Wasn't that obvious?

He was not someone skilled at sympathy. If Takashi Natsume were here, it might have been different.

"That is why I came—to fulfill my promise."

With that, he sat back on his heels and took out two Gift Cards, handing them to Izayoi Sakamaki.

"The Gift of the Dragon Princess, and the Simulated Star Chart—Void Star Taisui."

"I hope you will treat Salamandra and Sandora well in the future."

"The Dragon Princess? Void Star Taisui?" Izayoi Sakamaki frowned slightly upon hearing Mandara's words.

Seeing that frown, Mandara assumed Izayoi Sakamaki was dissatisfied and hurriedly explained, "The Gift of the Dragon Princess is originally the Gift of a Pureblood Dragon. However, this power can easily become another person's wedding dress, so it has remained sealed in Salamandra's treasury and has never been used."

"And the Simulated Star Chart, Void Star Taisui, truly is—"

Just as Mandara was about to explain something, Izayoi Sakamaki waved a hand and interrupted him.

"This thing is indeed useful to me. I accept your request as well."

Taking the two Gift Cards, Izayoi Sakamaki truly had not expected Mandara to be so generous that he would even hand over something left behind by his ancestors.

As for how to use these two Gift Cards, he had already made plans.

Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki accept the Gift Cards, Mandara breathed a sigh of relief. He rose, bowed to Izayoi Sakamaki, and took his leave. "Since Your Excellency has agreed, I shall not impose any longer."

"Aren't we signing a Contract Document?"

Mandara paused slightly and shook his head. "No need. Proud people never break their promises."

But adding a Contract Document would make it different from a promise. It would become a transaction.

Transactions were the conduct of merchants, and merchants had no bottom line when greater profits were at stake.

A promise was more reliable.

Creak—

After the door closed, Izayoi Sakamaki stared at the Gift Card bearing the Simulated Star Chart, deep in thought.

Only after a long while did Izayoi Sakamaki put it away and lie down on the bed.

In the original story, the entire Simulated Star Chart had been seized by Garj.

He had not expected it to fall into his hands now.

Still, it was quite good in his hands. At the very least, Star Spirits, Dragon Species, and gods now posed far less of a threat to him.

Rather than immediately placing the Simulated Star Chart into his body, Izayoi Sakamaki focused his mind on the Chat Group.

Spider-ko: "Woohoo! I'm evolving again! It really hasn't been easy."

Takanashi Rikka: "My dearest friend, art thou returning to thy peak as well?"

Fūrinji Miu: "Um... Let me think. Doesn't a spider eventually evolve into a Jorōgumo? The kind with a beautiful woman's upper body and a spider's lower body."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Possible. But ordinary Jorōgumo are black, while Spider-ko is white. Is she some kind of mutant?"

Spider-ko: "No, no, no! How could that be? How could I turn into something so terrifying? I'll definitely become an adorable, beloved beautiful girl~"

Zhongli: "There are countless cases of beasts taking human form. In Liyue, there are also many Immortals with partial Immortal Beast bloodlines, though they retain some traits of Immortal Beasts."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Aren't we talking about entirely different things? How could an ordinary half-beast spider possibly be mentioned in the same breath as an Immortal Beast?"

Spider-ko: "Hmph. Just wait until I Morph into human form and give you all a shock. Enough talking, I'm evolving first."

Tsunade: "Sigh, even Spider-ko is constantly growing stronger. We can't slack off either."

Kurogane Ikki: "Yeah. We have to train harder, or we'll be surpassed by a junior like Spider-ko."

Gilgamesh: "This King cannot possibly be surpassed. This King shall forever be second only to one!"

Tony: "A perennial runner-up?"

Ding. Group member Gilgamesh attempted to travel to Tony's world and was blocked.

Hearing the system notification, Izayoi Sakamaki's mouth twitched slightly. Tony really had gotten used to provoking people. Did he feel like he was no longer himself if he did not provoke someone once?

Gilgamesh: "Oh? Why refuse? It's only 100 Points. This King does not lack such a trivial amount of Points!"

Tony: "Ahem, I'm feeling unwell, so I won't trouble you to spend Points coming here for a visit."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Tsk, tsk. I actually think the Battle Space is pretty good. Do you two want to give it a try?"

Esdeath: "A battle? Against whom?"

Izayoi Sakamaki: "@Esdeath, weren't you going to rule the Empire? How is it going?"

Fūrinji Miu: "Yeah, Esdeath, we haven't seen you chatting in the group for a long time."

Esdeath: "The progress is good. Recently, I've been trying to recruit Night Raid, but unfortunately, they refuse no matter what."

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Isn't that simple? Ask one of the modern group members for a book on Marxism and toss it in front of Night Raid. Then they'll know who is more trustworthy."

Takanashi Rikka: "Since thou dost so crave it, then I shall bestow it upon thee!"

Ding. Takanashi Rikka sent a Red Packet.

A flash of brilliant red light appeared, and Izayoi Sakamaki reflexively tapped it.

A book immediately appeared in his hand.

"..."

Tilting his head as he looked at the book in his hand, Izayoi Sakamaki tossed it straight into the System Space to gather dust.

Fūrinji Miu: "I understand you sending Red Packets, Rikka, but why did you send so many? One for everyone?"

Esdeath: "This is... Although I don't know whether it will be useful, thank you."

Zhongli: "A fine idea. It coincides with my own principles."

Takanashi Rikka: "Hehe, be grateful to me!"

Takanashi Rikka, who was gathering Sacred Secret Manuals—Light Novels—in a bookstore, saw the group members thanking her. A feeling she had never experienced before surged through her heart, and she was practically about to grow a tail and wag it from side to side.

The Strongest Human, Izayoi Sakamaki, Is a Pervert

Watching the group members' varied reactions, Izayoi Sakamaki speechlessly raised his right hand to his ear, only to grab empty air. As though he had remembered something, he could only switch to another account and continue chatting in the group. Izayoi Sakamaki: "Keep it up, Esdeath. You're only one step away from ruling a whole world."

Esdeath: "Mm. I definitely won't disappoint you, Izayoi."

Tsunade: "Eating popcorn.jpg"

Hestia: "What's fun about fighting for dominance? Nothing beats living in luxury... Signing in at fixed times every day and receiving hundreds of thousands of valis. Ah, life is just so plain and unpretentious."

Tony: "What a useless goddess. I really feel ashamed for her followers!"
