I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [170]

--- [User: "Keeper Of Contracts" (Zhongli) has entered the chat] ---

Natsuki Subaru: Does anyone have any ideas? Lately, I’ve been harassed by Echidna every single day. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in days.

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): I know what you mean, but… forgive me, my mind is going places it really shouldn’t be…

Powerless (Nana): Wow, Natsuki Subaru, you’re kind of a perv, huh?

Natsuki Subaru: I’d rather not hear that from you, the queen of a yuri harem!

Powerless (Nana): Ehehe~~!

Natsuki Subaru: What’s with that smug reaction?! Why do I feel like I’ve been reduced to the designated comic relief? Wasn’t I supposed to be the legendary "weakest newcomer" in this group?!

Powerless (Nana): You’re one of the chat’s essential comedic relief characters. Right behind @Little Sister Finisher, you’re the second-most entertaining person here.

Natsuki Subaru: Hmm… That actually doesn’t sound half bad.

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): Suddenly, I’m bored. Whatever, useless NEET, just disappear already. Your existence is corrupting the chat’s atmosphere. You’re basically a walking hormone machine, a trash-tier light novel protagonist who thinks with his lower half.

Natsuki Subaru: Wait… Reimu, since when were you this kind of character?? This is way too weird! Shouldn’t you be the one getting bullied? Why are you suddenly the one throwing out insults?!

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): This world is built on the principle of the strong devouring the weak. The hierarchy among humans is far greater than the hierarchy between humans and beasts. Just like the hierarchy between you and me, useless Subaru-dog.

Natsuki Subaru: My nicknames are getting worse by the second. And why does your character shift feel so unnatural?!

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): Don’t talk to me, you desire-driven lower-class mutt!

Natsuki Subaru: AAAAAAHHH!!! Even I have my limits!! Just you wait, Reimu! The next time I visit your world, I’ll punch you right in the face! I’ll make sure you learn that even I have lines you shouldn’t cross!

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): Ooooh~~! I’m so scared! I’m so scared! Do you think you can punch me? Do you think you can punch me across worlds? Go ahead! My face is right here on the chat screen! Hit me! Come on, hit me! Do it, NEET-dog! Rage all you want behind your keyboard, just like those pathetic light novel NEETs who can only smash their keyboards when they’re mad!

100,000 Yen! 100,000 Yen! (Reimu Hakurei): 【Go on, hit me!】 【Image】

Natsuki Subaru: AAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!!!! I’M ACTUALLY MAD NOW!!!

Powerless (Nana): Uh… Calm down, NEET. Think about it logically. Even if Reimu is 99% at fault here, don’t you think you bear at least 1% of the blame? Remember, you’re the legendary useless NEET—a man who never lets hardship get to him!

Natsuki Subaru: Why do you still call me that while trying to mediate?! Are you really trying to calm things down, or are you secretly teaming up with Reimu to mess with me?!

Powerless (Nana): Ehehe~~!

Natsuki Subaru: AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I’M GONNA LOSE IT!!!

Villain (Accelerator): Pfft—! HAHAHA! You’re seriously killing me, NEET. Are you trying to entertain us with a one-man comedy act?

Natsuki Subaru: THAT’S IT! I’M DONE TALKING TO YOU GUYS! FIGURING THIS OUT ON MY OWN! DON’T MOCK ME ANYMORE! I’M OUT!!!

BOY MEET BOYS (Sexy Prisoner): Subaru-boy sure is…

I Think I Met the Protagonist (Megumi Kato): @Villain, my apologies. I think I misjudged you. Last time, I called your world a "light novel setting," and for that, I truly apologize.

Villain (Accelerator): Hah? Tch—! That was forever ago. Why would I remember something like that? And what’s with the sudden apology? Something happen? Or did my world get a new novel update?

I Think I Met the Protagonist (Megumi Kato): No, I already uploaded Volume 7 of New Testament: A Certain Magical Index last time, and you’ve seen it. I’m just suddenly feeling… introspective.

BOY MEET BOYS (Sexy Prisoner): Introspective? What happened, Kato-girl?

Megumi Kato: Yes. Something happened as summer vacation ended and the new school year began.

Megumi Kato: Ahh~~! It all feels like a dream. Maybe I should quote a haiku? Something like—

"Life lasts but fifty years, fleeting as a dream and illusion…"

Megumi Kato: Rather than mocking Accelerator’s world for being like a light novel… I think I’ve just realized that my own world is one too.

Villain (Accelerator): Tch—! Quit being cryptic. Just tell us what happened already!

 Megumi Kato: As the username I just used suggests… I think I’ve met my world’s protagonist.

Megumi Kato: A plain, otaku-type guy, yet somehow, he’s already acquainted with the two most famous and beautiful girls in our school.

Megumi Kato: And, as if that weren’t already absurd enough—one of them is a popular light novel author, and the other is an internet-famous illustrator for questionable websites.

Megumi Kato: Then, out of nowhere, this "protagonist" suddenly got the impulse to drag me into their circle.

Megumi Kato: He wants to make a game—with me as the main heroine.

Megumi Kato: Weird, right? I mean, I’m just a normal girl who prefers to stay in the background. I know what’s socially acceptable and what’s not.

Megumi Kato: Starting a club in high school to make a bishoujo game? That’s a guaranteed way to get side-eyed by the entire school—maybe even ruin my social standing entirely.

Megumi Kato: And yet… I agreed.

Villain (Accelerator): Agreed to what?

(Megumi Kato): To be the main heroine of the game he wants to make.

Villain (Accelerator): ??? You actually said yes???

Natsuki Subaru: ???

Powerless (Nana): ??? +1

True Substance (Yukinoshita Yukino): ??? +1

Megumi Kato: It’s not that strange, really. It was just a sudden thought.

Megumi Kato: Maybe I should give it a try. A game where I’m the heroine—it kind of makes my heart race a little, don’t you think?

Megumi Kato: For sixteen years, my life has been uneventful. Even after joining this chat group, nothing truly changed.

Megumi Kato: But then one day, this well-known guy in school takes my hand, right in the middle of a café, and says he wants to make me the "most dazzling heroine." If you were a girl, wouldn’t you feel… at least a little happy?

Megumi Kato: I’m just an ordinary girl, after all. And so, just this once… I want to try being something more.

Natsuki Subaru: Uh… give me a second. I need to process this.

Villain (Accelerator): Tch—! But doesn’t this mean you’re just going along with fate?

Megumi Kato: If my world really is a light novel setting, then… yes, maybe I am.

Megumi Kato: But if this so-called "protagonist" truly is at the center of a light novel scenario, and if several beautiful girls—including myself—end up revolving around him, then… maybe that’s not so bad.

Megumi Kato: After all, in a well-written, best-selling light novel, no matter who the protagonist and heroines are, they all experience pure, vibrant moments of love and friendship. Compared to reality, stories always feel more vivid, more beautiful—more full of things worth longing for.

Megumi Kato: Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, even if I fail, wouldn’t a life filled with such genuine emotions still be meaningful?

Megumi Kato: At my age, wouldn’t experiencing such feelings be the perfect way to spend my youth?

Villain (Accelerator): You…

True Substance (Yukinoshita Yukino): You… +1

Keeper Of Contracts (Zhongli): Miss Kato, from a purely rational standpoint, there is nothing wrong with your reasoning.

Keeper Of Contracts (Zhongli): Life is fleeting. You mortals are not like gods or demons—you do not have an eternity ahead of you. If you have the chance to experience a love that is profound and unforgettable, one that shapes you through warmth and pain alike, then that is indeed something money and time cannot buy.

Keeper Of Contracts (Zhongli): You are now part of this chat group. In the future, wealth will never be a concern for you. Without financial burdens, emotions—the connections you make, the love you share—will hold even greater significance in your life.

Natsuki Subaru: …Sorry, I need to think about this.

Villain (Accelerator): Tch—! You’re all a bunch of weirdos.

True Substance (Yukinoshita Yukino): Apologies, but even if it’s Zhongli speaking, I cannot agree with this perspective. A person’s worth should not be measured by something as fleeting as youth or romance.

True Substance (Yukinoshita Yukino): That is my belief.
