Cute Bug Overlord Joins the Chat Group! Chapter 7

She thought.

Kiana felt that even she could not do what Zerg had just done.

She could not lift a giant robot and smash it into the ground...

"All right, let's go home, Zerg."

The white-haired girl decided to take Zerg home first.

"Home? What's that?"

The little child tilted his head, seeming unable to understand.

"Home... is a place where people you're close to and like live together, Zerg."

After thinking for a moment, Kiana explained it that way.

The little house where she had lived with her stinky old dad used to be her home.

And now, after drifting and wandering for so long, the girl felt that perhaps she had a home again.

"Um... then Zerg wants to take Kiana home!"

After thinking for a moment, Zerg said this.

"Hm?"

The white-haired girl froze slightly.

Then she smiled softly.

"Of course that's fine, Zerg."

She had not been to Zerg's place yet.

The place where this child lived was probably a city destroyed by war. He must have been very lonely all by himself.

If she went with him, she would surely be able to keep this child from feeling so alone.

"Take Kiana home!"

Zerg broke into a wide smile.

Then, under Kiana's gaze, the little child vanished at once.

"???"

The white-haired girl's eyes widened.

The next moment—

Zerg, who is a tiny bit full, has invited you to his world. Accept the invitation?

So that was it. Zerg had just returned to his own world.

Kiana smiled wryly, then accepted the invitation.

A portal unfolded before her, and the girl stepped through it without hesitation.

P.S.: The system has been revised in Chapter 2. There will no longer be any issues with communication.

Volume One: Happy Little Orca

"Gah!" (Overlord!)

"Woo!" (Gone!)

"Kah!" (Find!)

After returning to his world, Zerg saw three little purple creatures in front of him.

They looked extremely flustered, waving their tiny claws as they ran around in every direction.

Their formerly tiny black-dot eyes had turned into large white circles.

"I'm back!"

The little swarm overlord appeared before the Drones once more.

Zerg announced this.

"Gah!" (Overlord!)

"Woo!" (Returned!)

"Kah!" (Found!)

The flustered purple creatures calmed down again.

"Gah!" (Food!)

"Woo!" (Offer!)

"Kah!" (Eat!)

The three Drones raised the things they had dropped earlier—

A tin can, a twisted and shriveled creature's corpse, and a withered unknown plant.

"Food!"

Zerg's eyes sparkled.

"Um... Kiana is coming over. I have to share this food with her."

Then he became conflicted.

In the end, Zerg decided not to eat yet and wait for Kiana so they could share it together.

Before long, the white-haired girl appeared in this world.

The first thing she saw was Zerg squatting together with the three purple creatures.

"..."

What were these creatures?

Why did they look so completely out of place?

It was like they had stepped out of some comedy manga.

Kiana's eyes widened.

"Kiana, food!"

Upon seeing the white-haired girl appear, Zerg immediately had the three Drones raise the food they had found.

"Food?"

The little white-haired girl looked down.

A can that had been sitting there for who knew how long.

The corpse of some unknown creature, hideous and twisted in appearance.

A withered black plant.

Were these things edible?

A question mark slowly rose in Kiana's heart.

"Here, food!"

Zerg grabbed the twisted creature corpse and held it out before Kiana as if presenting a treasure.

"..."

Humans could not—at the very least, they should not—eat something like that.

The little white-haired girl felt physically ill.

"Um, Zerg, I'll pass."

Although Zerg's gaze was full of anticipation, Kiana ultimately suppressed the guilt in her heart and refused the adorable child's request.

She felt that if she ate it just like that, something would definitely happen to her.

"Um... all right, then Zerg will eat it himself!"

Upon hearing that, the swarm overlord pondered for a few seconds before opening his mouth and swallowing the lump of corpse in one bite.

Then he swallowed the other two foods in a single bite each.

"...?"

Kiana fell silent.

Was this what little Zerg's usual living environment was like?

Everything he ate was completely inedible for ordinary humans.

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

A shattered city in ruins, beneath an environment where daylight never reached.

And farther away—

A faintly visible barrier that gave off a slight glow.

That was the only source of light.

Even with Kiana's eyesight, she could only make out that the city seemed to be underwater.

"Where is this...?"

Were cities in other worlds built beneath the sea?

Kiana's eyes widened slightly.

She had never heard of any underwater cities in her own world.

And this city looked as though it had been through a war. There was no sign of life anywhere.

Aside from Zerg in front of her, there were only three strange purple creatures.

"Want to go play, Kiana!"

Aside from the Drones, this was the first time another visitor had come to his home, and Zerg was very happy.

Zerg pointed toward the distant city ruins.

The place they were currently in counted as the outskirts of the city.

"Mm."

Kiana decided to enter the city and take a look.

She had become curious about Zerg's origins. Perhaps she could learn something from the city's ruins.

"Gah!" (Overlord!)

"Woo!" (Friend!)

"Kah!" (Play!)

The three little purple creatures also raised their tiny claws together, their eyes changing into shapes that represented happiness.

"Kiana, here!"

Zerg handed one Drone to Kiana.

"This is..."

The little white-haired girl looked down at the strange purple creature.

Mm, it was very cute.

She could not help reaching out to pet it.

"They're Drones!" Zerg introduced them. "They're responsible for finding food and developing the swarm!"

"Gah!" (Swarm!)

The purple creature in her arms echoed its overlord's words, making a strange sound.

"The... swarm?"
