Chapter 50: New Member and Reward

~Tatsumi POV~

After explaining everything to Ryuko about our predicament and the existence of the Chat Group as we were eating dinner and her world, she fell silent hearing my words.

The rest of the members were kept in silence after hearing my words and proof of where we don't belong to this world and whatnot.

Glancing at Ryuko I told her the truth about us wondering her response, "It looks like you're taking it better than Satsuki. At least you believe my words then tell me lies."

Ruby looks confused towards me as she responds to me in a curious voice, "Huh? Really I thought Satsuki would agree?"

Sigh…

Oh, Ruby, you are too pure at times…

But she did ask a good question but ultimately Satsuki doesn't trust me in the slightest I gave her the truth that doesn't mean she will trust me right away.

It's not like I could hide forever from her and her network anyway.

Like Satsuki and her group will have all the resources to check out for anyone suspicious and they could assume that we were cosplayers but that is very unlikely.

Satsuki is a bit of a control freak at times wanting any information then they will search harder to find any concrete information on us plus with my strength I demonstrated to them only cemented her own theories.

Remembering that they have a professional hacker and have resources to the Ragyo network so they can easily cross-reference information and see-through satellites to see and hear through the cameras in the island it was simply a matter of time before they put the pieces together.

After all, with Satsuki and her hacker, it's impossible to hide our strength that was another reason why I even battled against Uzu to prove a point that we're not enemies and could be potential allies.

Being found lying wouldn't really help the situation so the option was to either tell the truth to gain her as an ally or lie to gain a suspicious enemy with Satsuki since she needs anything against her mother as some mysterious people would make her assume were with Ragyo.

Plus, I also have to consider I can't force my way through this as well on this island since everything here is own by the Satsuki family and she can revoke our home before we have a chance to do anything.

Best to not draw any attention or ruin our living conditions as I have to consider the others with me as well.

Besides it's best, to be honest, to gain her trust for the time being after all whatever knowledge she has that I gave her is all on her to decide whether or not to take my help.

After what felt like forever Ryuko took her to breathe in as she says to us, "Breathe~… Sigh… ok I think I can finally grasp your concern and why you have to do this mission…"

Everyone relaxed a bit after seeing Ryuko's unreadable expression as she says something finally after what she says to us, "I guess I'll do my part to help you guys out ok? After all, I still owe you for saving my ass three times at this point. One when the boxer attacked, second when you helped me back to health, and lastly…"

Viewing Ryuko she changed her expression with disgust clearly shown, "… for the heads up against Ragyo and Nui about brainwashing me and 'enjoy' their lust makes me sick to even think that will happen…"

That was when Ruby made a point to interrupt her on that subject, "That's not true Ryuko! Maybe if you had in the original but you have us to help us out!"

Ryuko looks shocked at Ruby's response as Toga continues to explain continuing after Ruby, "Yeah Ryuko don't get all upset about it. After all, this time around you have future knowledge to prepare yourself for the worst and against your mother."

Heh.

Looks like those two certainly took on the roles of being heroes alright and one of them is the main character.

I took this chance to finally talk to Ryuko calmly, "Yeah Ryuko. I already made a promise to Satsuki that I wouldn't make things stay as they are till I deal with them. It's a promise that I keep my friends safe and you are included."

Ryuko looks at me with shock as everyone around me nods their heads but I did notice a blush from Ruby and Toga…

Their emotions stem from… love?

Now, this is an interesting development, but I won't go further than that I'll let them do it first, or else I do it.

But at a later date when we have actual free time out of this world.

Ryuko just laughs as she blushed a bit as well as she swells up some tears as she says to us, "Ha ha ha! Damn it you, bastards! You just saying those words attempting to persuade me and butter me up screw you bastards!"

Ha ha ha ha!

Just like that I, Toga, and Ruby laugh at this since we got to know Ryuko this well it's just like her.

Echidna and Erza just nodded their heads in agreement but that raises another question.

Glancing my head towards the both of them I asked them why they are here since Echidna I can understand but Erza, "Say you two how come you're both here? Echidna I can understand but Erza I thought you would be home already?"

With that, they both laughed nervously as they began to explain to us their reasoning…

After the explanation, we nodded seriously since if they don't find anyone to invite then I can see this can be a problem.

However, I was or rather everyone is surprised to hear Ryuko's response, "Hey if you need someone to invite why not ask me?"

Glancing our heads at each other I see the others have some doubts but ultimately it's up to Erza and Echidna to decide.

They looked at each of us, but we all nodded to them to make the decision.

Erza then asked the teenage superpower striper in an honest voice, "Tell me Ryuko if you join us you might not like what happens in some request and this will change your life forever if you join the question is are you positive?"

Ryuko didn't even hesitate to respond to Erza question with a happy gusto, "Hell yeah it does! It sounds like fun and as a bonus, I have an actual reason to use my powers again when dealing with Ragyo is over with right?"

Blink.

Blink.

Well… she isn't wrong.

As soon as Kill La Kill is done in the story the powers go along with it returning to a normal life for them.

Echidna glad to see this she properly invites Ryuko to the chat group with joy, "Oh joy! Ok, Ryuko I personally invite you to the Group Chat welcome to the team!"

That was when we all saw Ryuko had her very own screen and we all see a notification as well.

[Notice: New member TeenageRedStriper has entered the Group Chat!]

That did it.

Ryuko got extremely pissed offed at the results of the name, "Teenage Red Striper?!! WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK?!!"

I guess she is taking that well with her screaming in rage.

But instead, she calms down as we all look at Erza and Echidna with some expectations from their rewards, "Say Echidna and Erza… what rewards did you get?"

Now I wanted to know what they got.

Looking at Erza and Echidna both have very excited expressions on their faces to get their gifts.

We all waited for them to get their gifts and the next thing that happens next was Erza wearing a…

Bear set?

And as for Echidna, she looks to be very happy as she was jumping with joy?

OK, what kind of rewards did they get?!

Ruby the impatient one of us asks what Erza was wearing, "Hey Erza what are you wearing a bear suit?"

Next, we see Erza smirks as she points at us using the white bear puppet as she explains to us what it was, "Worry not Ruby this suit is actually armor and a very powerful one at that?"

Ok, how does a bear suit have serious firepower?

Next Erza begins to explain that wearing the bear suit is something from an isekai world of Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear anime and that bullshit OP armor.

Damn and here I thought I was getting OP, but I guess I'm getting surpassed.

Then Echidna begins to explain to us the new ability she got was a unique skill called Magic Sense from that time I got reincarnated as a Slime.

That is a useful skill to have as it can work as a universal translator, I guess that can come in handy in the future.

After that Ryuko changed her username to her name and we all took this chance to rest for the night.

Also, Erza told me that she and Echidna will stay out of our way so that we can do our mission as Erza returned home again.

Echidna dragged Ruby to the library as they begin to work on the Teigu Pumpkin and learn its secrets with Ruby's rifle knowledge.

Since Echidna can't really return home unless she wants to get a lynch mob ready for her she decided to spend some time researching the Teigu.

As everyone was going to sleep, I was still awake cleaning the dishes as Ryuko comes over in her pajamas as she blushes at me as she says to me, "Anyway… I came here to ask you for thanks for giving me a heads up and for you know… taking care of my wounds when I had my Seiketsu…"

Smirking at her I simply reply to her in a happy voice, "Sure no problem. After all, you're my friend and I intend to keep them safe just let me worry about the alien threat and you just train for the day to come."

Ryuko just sighs out a breath of relief as I was busy returning to clean the dishes I felt something contact my face.

"Kiss."

Ok, this is certainly surprising to see Ryuko kiss me then I see her face goes all red as she quickly ran away from me.

But telling from her emotions she looks to be conflicted, admired, confident, lustful, and afraid all at once.

Well, this certainly became interesting but I have to get ready for the next day.

Although if Ryuko asked for a kiss next time do it with lips but I wonder if she will agree with my dream of having a big family with other girls?

Sigh…

I guess that is her to determine if she wants to or not.

Because I won't change that idea no matter what…
