Cute Bug Overlord, Join the Chat Group!
Author: rag
Synopsis:
Rules of this Chat Group:
1. Although the group owner is very cute, please do not accept her summons without thinking.
2. If you happen to accept the group owner's summons, please don't feed the cute little bugs all sorts of strange food. They won't die from eating it, but they'll spit out all kinds of strange things. (Under no circumstances should you feed them Originium or Herrscher Cores. You don't want to see these cute little guys multiplying.)
3. If you happen to be approached by the cute bugs, please don't stick your hand into their mouths. Do so at your own risk. (The bugs have already bitten through the equipment of several Valkyries.)
4. Please don't ask where the ingredients for the potions used to treat group members come from. Trust me, you don't want to know. (A certain green-haired scientist's worldview collapsed because of this.)
5. Last but not least, do not (crossed out) summon the group owner! (So far, several group members' worlds have been overrun by the cute little guys.)
Volume One: Chapter One: Zerg and the Chat Group
"Zerg!" (Hungry!)
On a damaged artificial platform, a tiny figure stood.
He raised both hands and called out to several small purple creatures standing in front of him.
"Gah!" (Food!)
"Woo!" (Search!)
"Cah!" (Eat!)
The three little creatures raised their adorable claws in turn.
Then they scattered, burrowing into the underwater city to search for food to fill their Overlord's stomach.
"Zerg!" (So hungry!)
The tiny figure sat down where he was, clasped his hands over his stomach, and gazed miserably at the deep blue sea in the distance.
A faint barrier kept the seawater out, but it also left him with very few food sources. The only way to get food was to search through the abandoned city.
So hungry. I want something to eat.
That was the only simple thought in his little head.
[Dimensional Chat Group established!]
A strange voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Zerg?" (Where did that voice come from?)
The tiny figure looked confused.
He raised his head and searched around for the source of the voice.
But there wasn't another living thing in sight.
As far as he could sense, only three Drones from his Swarm were active.
And besides—
What was a Dimensional Chat Group?
Could he eat it?
That thought came to him.
A translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
[Please give yourself a name, host.]
"Zerg?" (What does naming mean?)
[Group owner name: Zerg. Confirmed.]
[Please invite members to the Chat Group.]
"Zerg?" (My name is Zerg?)
Zerg blinked, looking confused.
He had only been born a few days ago and couldn't understand this thing at all.
"Zerg?" (What does inviting members to the Chat Group mean? Can I eat them?)
[Please invite members to the Chat Group.]
"Zerg!" (Hungry. Food. Eat!)
Zerg spoke in a rather pitiful tone.
But the mechanical voice didn't care.
[Please invite members to the Chat Group.]
[The host has failed to invite members to the Chat Group three times. Automatically inviting members...]
[Inviting members... Invitation successful!]
A white-haired girl's profile picture appeared on the translucent screen.
Her group name was [The Ultimate Invincible Super F*cking Cute Paramecium!]
In a small room.
The white-haired girl, who had a forkful of instant noodles on it, widened her eyes.
A strange voice had just sounded in her ears—
[Joining Dimensional Chat Group... Joined successfully!]
Then a translucent screen appeared in front of the girl.
"???"
What was this?
Kiana Kaslana's brain couldn't keep up.
Before she could figure out what the strange screen was, a message appeared—
[Starving Zerg: Hungry! I want something to eat!]
[Starving Zerg: There are only rocks and metal in the city!]
[Starving Zerg: Rocks taste awful! Metal tastes awful!]
[Starving Zerg: Food! Eat!]
The white-haired girl slowly opened her mouth.
She didn't even notice the noodles she'd already picked up with her fork falling away.
This person seemed so pitiful.
Even his name made him sound hungry.
Though this [Dimensional Chat Group] was strange, there was someone starving right in front of the righteous Kaslana girl!
Kiana wouldn't let something like that happen on her watch.
[The Ultimate Invincible Super F*cking Cute Paramecium!: Where are you right now? I've got lots of delicious food here! Give me your address, and I'll send some over right away!]
Without anyone teaching her, she figured out how to send messages in this so-called Dimensional Chat Group.
But the ID that popped up made Kiana Kaslana freeze.
The Ultimate Invincible Super F*cking Cute Paramecium?
The last three words were unnecessary!
She was not a paramecium!
Kiana glared at the screen through gritted teeth.
Even worse, this stupid thing wouldn't let her change her name!
If she could change it, she'd definitely rename herself [The Ultimate Invincible Super F*cking Cute Kiana Kaslana!]
[Hopeful Zerg: Food? Something to eat? I want it!]
[Hopeful Zerg: I want food!]
Why could this Zerg change his name?!
The white-haired girl wanted to protest.
Then a screen popped up in front of her—
[Poor Zerg is hungry. Would you like to summon him here and feed him?]
An image appeared at the same time.
In a ruined city, a tiny figure sat among the rubble with his arms wrapped around his knees, looking utterly miserable.
"..."
For a moment, Kiana couldn't bring herself to say no.
A ruined city, a young and innocent child...
In an instant, the white-haired girl imagined a hundred thousand words of backstory.
"I accept!"
The Kaslanas were the people's shield!
If she sat by and did nothing, she wouldn't deserve to bear that name!
Kiana was fired up!
She set down her fork, then rummaged through her things for the only food she had—
A box of instant noodles.
There was no helping it. She'd just arrived in Nagazora City and hadn't found a job yet. She'd only managed to rent a place with the little money she had left.
The instant noodles had been bought with the last of her money.
But even in such dire poverty, Kiana still chose to help this poor child!
"Zerg!" (Food!)
Zerg's bare, white feet touched the ground as he raised both hands and cheered.
A deep, rippling portal appeared in front of him.
"Zerg!" (Food! Let's go!)
The tiny figure eagerly darted through the portal.

Volume One: Chapter Two: Feeding Zerg in Progress
A portal with a distinctly futuristic feel suddenly appeared in front of the white-haired girl.
Then a tiny figure emerged from it.
He was an adorable child who inspired instant affection—
He looked to be around ten or so, but was very short, only reaching Kiana's chest.
His features were delicate and cute. He wore a slightly tattered white outfit that left his pale feet bare.
His aura was pure and innocent, as if he had only just been born.
"..."
Kiana Kaslana's face flushed red.
