My Chat Group Is Really Too Strange Chapter 28

"Of course. After all, look at me—a useless salted fish like me came out of that explosion without so much as a scratch, didn't I?"

"And who is Professor Rafe? A renowned genius at the Clock Tower. If he got blown to death by a mere explosion, wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

Mo Wang said to Olga Marie.

"That's true. Even in a place like the Clock Tower, Lev was a genius among geniuses. If it was just an explosion..."

"Exactly. If you ask me, Professor Rafe must be somewhere in this city too. Maybe he'll pop out of some sewer any minute now."

"What are you talking about?! Lev isn't a rat. How could he possibly crawl out of a sewer?"

Olga Marie gave Mo Wang an irritated elbow to the side.

"Heh heh, you never know."

Having read the script, Mo Wang knew very well what kind of existence Lev really was.

Even if he did not crawl out of a sewer later, Mo Wang would smash the guy to pieces and stuff him into one himself.

"Will Lev really still be alive?"

Roman was highly skeptical of what Mo Wang had said.

After all, that had not been an ordinary explosion.

Even for Lev, the chances of surviving at the center of that blast were far too slim.

Unless...

A trace of doubt flashed through Roman's eyes as he curiously studied Mo Wang.

Could this guy have figured something out?

"Alright, enough about that. Sigh, come to think of it, I got up really early today and still haven't had breakfast. How about we eat first, then decide what to do?"

Mo Wang gave Roman no chance to speak. As he talked, he somehow pulled out a huge pile of food from who knew where.

"Director, Mashu, want some strawberry cake?" Mo Wang held up a strawberry cake topped with a huge strawberry and asked the Director and his junior.

"Wait! Isn't that the limited-edition strawberry cake I worked so hard to buy yesterday?! Why is it in your hands?!" Dr. Roman's horrified, despairing voice suddenly came through from the other end of the communication.

"Hm? This one? Last night, when I was looking for a midnight snack, I saw a strawberry cake in the fridge that nobody wanted, so I took it out."

Mo Wang replied without the slightest awareness of wrongdoing, not even showing a shred of apology.

"Why would you find your midnight snack in my fridge, hey?!" Roman looked miserably at the cake in Mo Wang's hands. "I was going to eat that cake today while slacking off and watching Magical Girl Meli's stream... I stood in line for a full three hours..." In everyone's eyes, Roman looked as though he was about to burn to ashes, his entire body already turning gray-white.

"Don't worry. You won't have any chance to slack off today anyway. By the way, this cake tastes pretty good. Which shop did you buy it from?" Olga Marie unceremoniously took a piece and tried it, while curiously inspecting the pile of snacks Mo Wang had pulled out.

Where had this pile of stuff even come from? Did this guy carry so much food around every day?

Olga Marie frowned. Then she suddenly remembered that Chaldea seemed to lose a fixed batch of food every month. Could it all have been...

Olga Marie instinctively wanted to scold Mo Wang.

But she seemed to suddenly recall something. After letting out a helpless sigh, she said nothing.

"Senpai, what are we doing next? Continuing the investigation? Or is there some other mission?" Mashu looked at Mo Wang and Olga Marie, who had already started eating, concern filling her eyes.

Although they had managed to contact Chaldea, the three of them still had no way to leave this place.

Was it really alright to just start eating like this?

"Don't worry, Mashu. In a situation like this, panicking won't help."

"As they say, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will pass beneath it; when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. We'll take it one step at a time. Things can't get any worse than they already are, right?"

"Rather than worrying about that, we should replenish our strength first. It won't do to be hungry if we end up fighting later."

As he spoke, Mo Wang grabbed a sausage and, without giving her any say in the matter, stuffed it straight into Mashu's mouth.

"Mmph! Mmph!" Mashu wanted to struggle, but after hearing Mo Wang's words, she simply swallowed the sausage in her mouth.

And so, the three of them began today's picnic inside the Tohsaka Family residence.

Meanwhile, Lev, somewhere in the city: Strange, where are they? Why did they suddenly disappear without a trace? Why are these guys taking so long?

PY: "Roman's Second Chance at Life Seems to Have a Bleak Future"

Summoned to this world, he had joined Marisbury in winning the 2004 Holy Grail War and wished to become human.

It should have been a wonderful thing, yet the daily necessities of life and the endless stream of beautiful girl idols drained away the wealth he could never accumulate because of his constant ups and downs in FX trading.

In order to keep stubbornly surviving in human society, and to have enough confidence—funds—to keep pursuing his dream of romance, Roman headed to Antarctica for a high-paying job under arrangements made by an old friend who seemingly had no good intentions, beginning a wage slave's struggle for survival.

The synopsis is weak, but it's a fun comedic crossover story with Roman. I hope the main text will draw everyone in.

What the Hell Is King Arthur's Dining Table?!

"Ura! A gay guy's unzipping my pants!"

A baffling scene was currently unfolding on the streets of Fuyuki City.

A young man held a Guan Dao that he had pulled from who knew where, playing a Dynasty Warriors-style mowing game in the street.

Everywhere his blade passed, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers were utterly destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, they had shattered into piles of bone fragments.

Behind him, two girls watched Mo Wang having the time of his life with calm expressions.

Oh, no.

They could not really be called calm expressions.

From the looks in their eyes, one could probably tell that both their hearts had died long ago.

Let us rewind half an hour. After replenishing their strength, the three of them were finally ready to continue exploring Fuyuki City.

"Although we don't know why this place has become like this, we can continue investigating several Ley Lines in Fuyuki City. An item like the Holy Grail must ultimately be placed atop a Ley Line. As long as we find it, we can probably return."

After studying the map, Olga Marie spoke to Mo Wang and Mashu.

"As expected of the Director! You actually came up with a way to get back so quickly! Director Mary, we adore you, argh!"

Listening to Olga Marie's analysis, Mo Wang immediately started flattering her from the side.

"Shut up! Anyone who listened to the mission briefing would know that, wouldn't they? Just how much did you slack off while I wasn't looking?"

However, Olga Marie had long since become immune to Mo Wang's flattery. She even knocked him on the head.

"Well, Director, do you remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?"

"You..." Olga Marie looked at Mo Wang and let out a deep sigh.

There had been so many reliable candidates among the reserve Masters. Why, of all people, had Mo Wang ended up coming here?

She was quite happy that Mo Wang had survived.

But whenever Mo Wang acted unreliable, Olga Marie sincerely wished she could replace him with someone else...

"Director, if we're going to the Ley Lines, the nearest next location should be the church in Fuyuki City."

Mashu glanced at the map and spoke to Olga Marie.

"Mm. In that case, let's head for the church."

After hearing Mashu's words, Olga Marie quickly became full of confidence.

This damned place had gotten off to a bad start, but now, she, Olga Marie, Director of Chaldea, would definitely lead Chaldea's two team members through this damned Singularity successfully!

At the thought of leading everyone through the dungeon and returning to Chaldea to see their admiring gazes, Olga Marie could not help feeling a little lightheaded.

"Clatter, clatter!"

Before Olga Marie could enjoy herself for long, that familiar sound drilled into her ears like a demonic chant, making her shudder.

"No way?! Those skeleton soldiers again?" Olga Marie turned toward the sound with a dark expression.

Why were the Dragon Tooth Soldiers still chasing her after she had run all the way here?!

Thinking of how those guys had chased her for three whole miles earlier, Olga Marie's teeth began to itch with hatred.

She dared to guarantee that this bunch of trash was the enemy of her life!

"Dragon Tooth Soldiers, this time will be different! Don't think you can keep chasing me around like before!"

Olga Marie gritted her teeth, fury blazing in her eyes.

She was no longer the person she had been before!

Now, she had a Demi-Servant like Mashu at her side. To Mashu, these guys were no different from bone scraps.

With Mashu here, she could finally avenge herself!

What? Why not Mo Wang? In Olga Marie's eyes, Mo Wang was nothing more than an oversized battery now.

"Go, Mashu! Beat these skeleton scraps into tiny pieces for me!"

Olga Marie sent out Mashu Beast!

Mashu Beast did not react at all.

"Hm? Mashu?"

Olga Marie blankly stared at Mashu, who was standing motionless beside her.

Mashu: OMO

Olga Marie: Move! Mashu! Why aren't you moving?!

Olga Marie was starting to get angry from embarrassment.

What, just because she was not Mashu's Master, her orders did not work at all?

Or had Mashu stopped listening to her, the Director, after becoming a Demi-Servant?

"No, Director. It's because Senpai already went over there..." Seemingly seeing Olga Marie's confusion, Mashu pointed behind her.

"Huh?"

Olga Marie turned around blankly and saw that Mo Wang had already charged out with a sword in hand.

"Swish, swish, swish~!"

After only a few slashes, the skeleton soldiers on the other side were gone.

(._.)

Please provide the text you would like me to translate or revise. I am ready to process it according to your instructions.

"Mashu, if I remember correctly, you're the Demi-Servant, right?"

Hearing Olga Marie's question, Mashu understood what she meant.

Though it was rather embarrassing to say, Mashu still answered, "That's right."

"Then why are you standing here while Mo Wang is over there?" Olga Marie asked blankly.

"I wanted to help before, but Senpai thought using my shield was too slow, so he went himself," Mashu explained again.

"Oh~ So he thought you were too slow, so he went himself... my ass!"

Olga Marie got... angry for a moment on the spot.

What did she mean, he thought his Servant was too slow at fighting, so he went himself?

What kind of Master threw their Servant aside and went to fight personally?

What did he take his Servant for, damn it?!

"Mo Wang! Get over here!"

Olga Marie grabbed Mo Wang by the collar and dragged him over.

"Director, what is it?" Mo Wang, who had been having a great time fighting, looked at Olga Marie with a puzzled expression.

"Why did you leave Mashu behind and go fight by yourself?"

Olga Marie crossed her arms and demanded an answer from Mo Wang.

"Huh?"

"Mashu told me! You actually thought Mashu was too slow at dealing with enemies? As a Master, how can you do something like that?!"

Olga Marie was furious.

As an excellent Master, he should provide support to his Servant, issue the proper commands and offer assistance whenever his Servant encountered danger.
