Chapter 35: Considerate Members!

The group chat continued buzzing with excitement.

Nanashi smirked, shaking his head.

At least some things never changed.

Chapter 35: I am very pleased to have a group of considerate members~

Shinobu: "Master Administrator, have you completed your mission?"

Nanashi: "Master? No need for such formalities. Just call me by my name."

Shinobu: "Oh… sorry if that came off as rude. I wasn't sure how to address you."

Nanashi: "It's fine. Anyway, the companion mission is complete. Those fishmen were nothing but trash. I earned 60,000 Doomsday Points, and Nami got 15,000."

Shinobu: "That much?! How do I trigger a companion mission?"

Shinobu was eager to grow stronger—to kill demons and avenge her sister.

Nanashi: "I'm not sure. Right now, companion missions seem to trigger randomly. There's no way to control it."

Shinobu sighed, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Shinobu: "I see… so it's not that simple."

Still, she wasn't ready to give up just yet.

Shinobu: "Besides Doomsday Companions and Group Sign-ins, are there any other ways to earn Doomsday Points?"

Nanashi: "Yeah. For example, killing the evil spirits and monsters in my world, or the zombies in Saeko's world. Those all give Doomsday Points."

Nanashi: "I'd bet that killing the demons in your world would earn you points too."

Shinobu: "Got it! Thanks for the info!"

Excited, she was already thinking of testing it out.

March 7th: "Wait, what exactly is a 'demon'?"

Nanashi: "A man-eating monster. Just like zombies, they were once human."

Nanashi: "But unlike zombies, they retain high intelligence, can regenerate quickly, and have supernatural blood-related abilities."

Lemuel: "A zombie that can heal itself and has superpowers? That sounds ridiculously strong."

Nanashi: "Not really. They have a major weakness—they can't be exposed to sunlight. The moment they're hit by it, they turn to ash."

Saeko: "…So basically a vampire?"

March 7th: "Yeah! That does sound a lot like a vampire!"

Suzuki: "Strange, isn't it? We come from different worlds, yet there are so many similarities."

Suzuki: "Also… has anyone noticed that the Administrator seems to know a lot about other people's worlds?"

March 7th: "Oh, yeah. We figured that out a while ago."

Lemuel: "Too lazy to question it, honestly."

Saeko: "It doesn't matter. What's important is that we pay attention to Nanashi's hints."

Shinobu: "I am curious about how Nanashi-kun knows so much about demons… but everyone makes a good point."

Nanashi smiled to himself.

It was nice having a group that didn't waste time over unnecessary details.

Suzuki: "Alright… if you say so…"

—

March 7th: "By the way, where's Nami? She hasn't said anything. Did something happen?"

Nanashi froze.

Ah.

Yeah… that was on him.

And as an honest man, he had no choice but to answer.

Nanashi: "She passed out. Emotional overload and extreme exhaustion."

March 7th: "Makes sense. Given her childhood and the hell she grew up in, finally getting her revenge must have been overwhelming."

Saeko: "…"

In the apocalypse world—

Saeko narrowed her eyes slightly.

For some reason, something about Nanashi's words felt… off.

Nanashi had no intention of dwelling on Nami's situation.

He swiftly changed the topic.

Nanashi: "Instead of that, let's talk about the 'reborn' Arlong."

March 7th: "Oh, right! What's the deal with this 'reborn' thing?"

Aqua: "It should be someone who was reincarnated after death."

Aqua: "I've dealt with plenty of reincarnations. They usually retain memories of their past lives."

Lemuel: "A reincarnated person with past memories? That's terrifying. They could alter the future however they wanted."

Aqua: "I can't speak for other worlds, but in mine, reincarnation into the same world isn't allowed. They have to be sent somewhere new."

Aqua: "That way, their knowledge won't disrupt the original timeline, and instead, they'll help shape the future of a different world."

March 7th: "I see. So even gods have to deal with troublesome stuff, huh?"

Aqua: "You have no idea! I'm exhausted!"

Saeko: "So this Arlong isn't just a reincarnated person, but one who was reborn in their original world?"

Nanashi: "Exactly. When I arrived at Nami's place, she was seconds away from being killed by him."

March 7th: "Whoa! That's way too close!"

Shinobu: "At least everything turned out okay."

Suzuki: "So… this 'Abnormal Doomsday' is caused by factors that distort the future?"

Nanashi: "No, I don't think so. The group chat itself alters the future, but it doesn't actively create chaos or doomsday scenarios."

Nanashi: "For a true 'Abnormal Doomsday' to occur, something specific has to trigger it. Something that throws the world into complete disorder."

Nanashi: "My colleagues mentioned that Arlong is only one factor. There are others—possibly the real cause." 

March 7th: "Then when Nami wakes up, make sure to warn her to be extra careful!"

The conversation continued for a while until—

Ding!

Class was over.

Nanashi leaned back, closing the chat window.

Despite everything, things seemed… under control. For now.
