Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 3: Chapter 2: Welcoming Doctor Roman to the Chat Group

He Who Knows Fate: …

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …

…

Magus of Flowers: This…I don’t recall my mouth ever being blessed with the gift of divination.

He Who Knows Fate: I don’t know whether it was blessed or not, but I know you are in trouble now.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: Hey? He Who Knows Fate? What’s going on? Did you pull me in?

Doctor Roman was the first person to meet someone familiar in the chat group.

He Who Knows Fate: No, no, no. I can’t do that. You were just lucky. Go look at the group announcements. The announcements clearly explain things.

I Have a Strong Presence: Out of shock, I forgot to say the only lines I have. Ok, He Who Knows Fate, you stole my lines. I’ll remember this grudge. (*￣０￣)ノ.

He Who Knows Fate: This…

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: The group announcements? I’ll go look.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: So, should we tell him the truth now?

Queen of Ice and Snow: Probably not. This is too cruel to him.

Efreet: I don’t think it matters. He will look up the storyline concerning him. Once he plays Fate/Grand Order, he will know.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: What about now? Should we let him have his fantasy for a while, or should we dash his dreams?

He Who Knows Fate: We should ask the person involved. Merlin, what do you think?

Magus of Flowers: What can I think? Just wait and see. I knew I would lose this die-hard fan the moment he entered the group. It is just a matter of time.

Iron Fist Teacher: Actually, I think Merlin should start thinking about how to protect his wretched life.

Magus of Flowers: You don’t have to worry about that. I am confident in Avalon’s defenses.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: So, we are not telling him for now?

He Who Knows Fate: Never mind. Let him find out on his own.

Blank Never Loses: This is happily decided, then.

Efreet: You might be happy, but the doctor might not be.

I Have a Strong Presence: Let this be his last wonderful memory.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: So, this is the case. This group…He Who Knows Fate, what was going on with you? Why did you appear in my world?

Doctor Roman returned after reading the announcements.

He Who Knows Fate: Oh! Me? I went to complete a mission given by your world. Alaya issued the mission. Gaia played a trick, preventing a Dragonslayer from being summoned, so I had to deal with Fafnir.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: So, that’s the case. That’s right. After the Spiritron transfer, your Poké Ball was still in Ritsuka’s hand. However, it vanished earlier. She is going crazy searching for it now.

He Who Knows Fate: Doctor, help me pass on a message. There’s no need to panic. The Poké Ball came to me. I did not expect that I only handed Fujimaru Ritsuka the usage rights and not ownership when I gave it to her.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: You should have said it earlier. She is going nuts with anxiety now. I’ll go tell her.

He Who Knows Fate: My conscience feels a pang.

Magus of Flowers: You still have a conscience? Just toss it away; it is useless.

Efreet: Truly a-Mer-al.

[TL Note: A-Mer-al is an attempt to convey a Chinese pun that uses homonyms. The first character in Merlin’s name sounds the same as the character for no. So, this is a pun meaning “truly lacking a conscience” or “amoral.”]

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: I’m back. I’ve already told Ritsuka, but she somewhat suspected I lied to her to calm her down. However, she barely accepted it after I explained for a long time. By the way, what can this chat group do?

He Who Knows Fate: It can do a lot of things. First, there’s the check-in. The first check-in gives you 100 points. You can exchange points for items in the store. The Ability Second Awakening is especially important. It can strengthen the potential of a person’s abilities. Doctor, you can try it. Who knows, you might slowly return to a perfect-state Solomon.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: So…Solomon? What are you saying? I don’t understand.

He Who Knows Fate: Alright, stop pretending. I recommend you go to the cultural section in the association’s store and buy a game called Fate/Grand Order. That game tells the story of Fujimaru Ritsuka saving humanity as humanity’s last Master.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: There is such a thing in the chat group?

Efreet: I don’t know why, but all of us can find comics, games, animes, or novels related to us in the cultural section of the association’s store. This is nothing strange.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: If it were someone else, we might not have figured out your identity immediately. However, He Who Knows Fate just returned from your world. He was livestreaming there, so there’s no point hiding.

He Who Knows Fate: Doctor, wait a moment. I’ll send one point to you. Don’t use that 100 points from checking in. Keep that for trying the Ability Second Awakening. Use the one point I will give you to buy that game.

Forever Fond of Magi☆Mari-chan: Right. I’ll go look now. Thank you.

He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. It’s almost eleven, time for me to rest. Goodnight, everyone.

Efreet: It is just six p.m. or so here.

Umaru-chan: It is almost eleven p.m. here too. However, it is just eleven. Why are you sleeping so early? @Blank Never Loses, Boss, are you playing?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Include me too!

Blank Never Loses: Alright! Coming. Let me finish this round first.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss, to think you did not call me when playing!

Blank Never Loses: Call you to do what? Hold me back?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: …

Blank Never Loses: Never mind. I am incredible, after all.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss is awesome!!!

Blank Never Loses: Moreover, you did not lose your love for games despite being so lousy. Of course, I have to help you.

Sora might be the first shut-in to mock an angel. Furthermore, the angel did not get angry, an accomplishment of epic proportions.

Chen Heng closed the chatting interface and went to Sirin’s room.

He quietly opened the door to check and saw Sirin sitting cross-legged, cultivating the Void Arts he gave her, so he did not interrupt her. He closed the door and returned to his room.

------

The next day, Chen Heng woke up and trained as usual, then washed up and made breakfast. Today’s breakfast was just sandwiches. He was not picky about food, so he was disinclined to make something troublesome.

This time, he did not have to wake Sirin up; she was already awake.

There’s an improvement. There’s an improvement. Worthy of praise.

“Sirin, how does cultivation feel?” Chen Heng placed breakfast on the table.
