Chapter 306: A Wild Alien Princess Appears!

Accelerator really was pitiful.

Getting beaten up so harshly by Takumi—no one could compare. He probably wanted to die at that point.

He was the number one esper in Academy City, after all. And yet, he was pinned to the ground and pummeled by some unknown guy.

Who could possibly understand this level of despair?

Megumi Kato: [Poor guy.]

Sagiri: [The invincible Accelerator has fallen!]

Chika Fujiwara: [Wasn't that a bit too light-handed?] [That's it?]

Chika couldn't help but be speechless. Still too soft, she thought.

Just that?

She didn't think it was nearly enough.

Seeing Chika's message, Takumi went speechless.

There it was—Hell Empress!

Takumi: [Have you been hanging out with Yan Luo recently or something?] [You actually said something like that?]

Chika Fujiwara: [It's true, though. That was too easy on him.] [Don't you think so?]

She really thought Takumi had gone too easy. Shouldn't Accelerator be bedridden for a few years?

Takumi had no idea what to say to that. The group chat exploded with banter.

Good grief. Truly.

['Lala' has joined the group chat.]

Suddenly, a system message popped up. Everyone froze.

"Lala?"

Seeing that name, Takumi's eyes lit up instantly. Had the alien princess arrived?

Thinking of this, Takumi got excited.

Who could resist a pink-haired succubus princess?

Takumi: [Lala Satalin Deviluke?]

Takumi called out her full name in the group chat.

Lala: [Eh?] [You know my name?] [Hi there!!] [Are the things in my mind real?] [Are there really other worlds?]

Lala quickly processed the information in her mind and became thrilled.

Other worlds? This was amazing!

Her father was trying to force her into a marriage. If she escaped to another world, how could he find her?

That thought made her even more excited.

Takumi: [Welcome to the group.] [Yes, other worlds are real.] [I suggest you do the daily check-in first.]

After confirming it really was Lala, Takumi decided—he had to kidnap her.

A wild princess! There was no way he'd let that opportunity go.

"What's her deal?" Bronya, standing beside Takumi, glanced at the chat curiously.

Lala? She hadn't seen that character in any of the anime others had uploaded. So... this girl hadn't uploaded hers yet?

"An alien princess." "And a super genius!" "I absolutely have to abduct her."

Takumi grinned delightedly as he said this.

However, just then, a notification surprised him.

[Group member 'Lala' has checked in successfully. Reward: World Transit Gate.]

Everyone in the group was stunned.

Chika Fujiwara: [Whoa, that's a mission item, right?] [She got it from checking in?]

Sagiri: [Just like Takumi-nii, first check-in and she gets an item.]

Shiroyasha: [Pretty lucky.]

Raiden Mei: [Is that thing linked to one world or can it connect to any world?] [If someone else uses it, can it link their world to another?]

Mei had always been curious. Did it require a fixed coordinate, or could anyone use it?

Lala: [How do I use this?] [It automatically bound to my world.] [But for the other one, I need coordinates from another world.]

After receiving the item, Lala began experimenting right away.

After tinkering with it for a while, she figured it out.

It was basically like a fixed wormhole. But it needed a known coordinate to work.

Takumi: [Give it to me later.] [I'll help you with it.] [But I'm currently in another world.]

A World Gate connected to Lala's world? Takumi was very interested.

Once it was set up, Lala could visit his world anytime. Another world connection—awesome!

Lala: [Eh?] [Really?] [Okay then!] [How do I give it to you?]

She had no objection. She was just curious how to send it to Takumi.

They were in different worlds, after all.

Chika Fujiwara: [Use the red packet feature!] [Let me teach you!!]

Chika was very enthusiastic.

She hadn't seen To Love-Ru, but judging by Takumi's reaction, Lala must be another one of his 2D waifus.

That made her curious too...

With a new member suddenly joining, everyone was intrigued.

What kind of world did she come from?

People started popping up and chatting with Lala.

"Now that I think about it, it's been a while since anyone new joined."

"Ever since the invitation letters were introduced, we rarely get newcomers."

Bronya read through the chat and sighed.

Since the invite system started, fewer people had joined. Everyone now had to be invited.

Takumi nodded.

"Yeah, true." "Maybe the invite system made entry harder."

He fully agreed.

It was obvious.

Only Lala had joined after such a long time.

It felt odd, no matter how you looked at it.

As they chatted, Takumi and Bronya continued their stroll through Academy City.

This wasn't just random wandering.

While walking, Takumi had already locked onto Index and the Church Leader's location.

Kamijou Touma was with Index at the supermarket.

When Takumi arrived, he saw Kamijou looking frustrated.

"Unlucky again!!" "Lost my wallet!!"

Just another day of misfortune for Kamijou.

Luckily, the supermarket cashier knew him.

He was always this unlucky—of course they recognized him.

"Should I cover it for now?" "You can pay me back when you have the money."

The cashier looked at him with pity.

There was no helping it.

"Stupid Touma!!"

Index was also frustrated.

They had double-checked before leaving—no issues.

Yet somehow, after buying groceries, the wallet was gone.

Touma really was a magnet for bad luck.

"Let me pay instead."

Watching the scene unfold, Takumi and Bronya couldn't help but laugh.

Takumi stepped forward and offered to pay.

Kamijou and Index stared at him in surprise.

Looking at Takumi and Bronya, their eyes turned wary.

Nobody helps for no reason.

Something felt off.

"No need to be nervous." "I actually have business with you."

With that, Takumi handed a few bills to the cashier.
