Welcome to the Multiverse Group Chat!!!

Chapter 163 ~ World Item

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

The sound of notifications of messages from the multiverse group chat coming to his phone roused Yuuji awake from his slumber. 

And he immediately noticed something… different. He felt… something… or perhaps someone, on top of him. 

They were small… Their whole body was able to fit easily on top of him. 

The t-shirt he wore had been lifted up, and the warmth and softness he felt directly on the skin of his chest and stomach was definitely something he had experienced before…

He slowly opened his eyes… And as he expected, the mound was too small for it to be Mira, Yuna, or Nina under his blanket. 

‘Well, given we’re currently in a friend’s home, I doubt they’d come in the middle of the night…’

He looked to his left and right, and saw the twin slimes still sleeping silently, nuzzled to his neck. 

Meaning, there’s only one other that would be currently resting on his body.

He lifted his blanket… And as he expected, he saw the pure white long hair of Est covering him up like a blanket. And underneath it… the naked, young body of the Spirit Sword Sovereign, with only a stocking covering her legs, on top of him, sleeping soundly.

Feeling the cold wind that came from him lifting up the blanket, Est let out a cute little groan and curled up, pressing herself on Yuuji’s warm body. 

Seeing Est once again manifesting in her physical, young girl’s form, just so she could sleep on top of him, Yuuji couldn’t help but let out a sigh…

He smiled helplessly and stroked the girl’s head for a bit, before moving her to the side and tucking her in along with the white and black slimes. 

He sat up on his bed and grabbed his phone. 

The clock on his lock screen showed 06:02 in the morning, which meant he had only been sleeping for four hours, since he returned from accompanying Tenma drinking at two. 

Still, even then, he did not feel any discomfort or sleepiness, given his [Divine Physique]. He felt as refreshed as he would after sleeping with his beloved in his embrace for the entire night. 

Yuuji opened the group chat and saw a message to the group from Satoru. 

Suzuki Satoru: “Everyone, I have good news!”

Chiba Erika: “Hm? Good news?”

Shiba Tatsuya: “Good morning, Satoru-san. I’m surprise to receive your message this early in the morning.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Satoru-san, it’s still so early. Did you not sleep again…?”

Suzuki Satoru: “Ahahaha… Actually, I’ve been grinding all night. Since tomorrow is a Sunday and I fortunately don’t have to go to the office, I took this chance to grind as much as I could in preparation for the… shutdown.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “You’ve worked hard, Satoru-san.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Thank you for your hard work, Satoru-san. But please take a rest soon…”

Suzuki Satoru: “Thank you. I will, Yuuji-kun. But still!!! I need to share this great news with you guys now!!!”

Suzuki Satoru: “Last night, I’ve been spending all my time raiding the empty guild bases! I raided a guild named “Aurum”, and when I finished plundering them, I found a world item!!!”

Immediately, everyone in the group chat, aside from C.C who hasn’t woken up yet, expressed their surprise and excitement to the amazing news. 

Kiryuu Aika: “That’s amazing!!! What does it do, Satoru-san?”

Suzuki Satoru: “Its name is Draupnir! It’s a magical ring that could produce 8 non-magical copies of itself every 9 days!!! This is why the Aurum Guild suddenly became super rich several years ago!!! With this, no one would have to worry about money anymore!!!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Wow…! I didn’t think such an item existed! You now have infinite money!!! Congratulations, Satoru-san!!!”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “That’s amazing… With that item, you truly won’t have to worry about money anymore.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Oh my God!!! Satoru-san, you don’t have to be a penny pincher anymore in the real world now!!! Congratulations!!!”

Chiba Erika: “That’s crazy! All you need is time, and money would literally appear without you having to do anything…!”

Shiba Tatsuya: “Mm. Now, you don’t have to worry about not having enough money to upgrade the base or do any sort of experiment.”

Suzuki Satoru: “That’s right! And, with this, it brings the number of World Items Ainz Ooal Gown owns to 12! Meaning, if all of us were to come to this world, we can each hold a world item each and have the floor guardians who’ll be working outside, such as Albedo, Demiurge, Aura, Mare, and Cocytus, hold one too! That way, we’ll all be protected from other world items!!!”

To someone who had seen the anime Overlord, the power of world items were clear to them. 

They were extremely powerful items, allowing even low level characters to harm even level 100 characters. Thus, even the members of the group chat, who possessed powerful SSRs, couldn't simply ignore its threat. 

Fortunately, the effects of World Items would not be able to affect them if they were to be in the possession of another World Item. This was why Satoru had all his Floor Guardians hold a World Item each once he realized the existence of World Items in the new world. 

And now, he’d have enough World Items if everyone in the group chat were to join him in the new world for the mission. 

Everyone expressed their gratitude and relief. Now, although they’d still need to be vigilant of World Items, at least they won’t have to worry about something absolutely terrible befalling them. 

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Well then, Satoru-san. Thank you for informing us of the good news. And please don’t forget to take a rest for a bit.”

Suzuki Satoru: “Thank you, Yuuji-kun. I’m still feeling fine, thanks to the effects of my SSR. But I’ll take your advice and rest for a bit, before going back to grind as much as I could until the shutdown! Who knows, maybe I can find another world item again! Hahaha!”

After saying that, Satoru excused himself, and the group also began to disperse one by one to begin their day. 

But soon after, Yuuji decided to send a message to Satoru privately. 

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Satoru-san, I’m sorry for bothering you, even though I was the one telling you to rest…”

Yuuji apologized, feeling bad for bothering him despite telling him to rest.

Suzuki Satoru: “Yuuji-kun. It’s fine. What’s wrong?”

Yuuji hesitated for a bit. The request he wanted to make to Satoru might be stepping over the line for him… But after thinking for a bit, he decided to just be shameless and make the request anyway. 

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Satoru-san… I have a request.”

Suzuki Satoru: “A request? What could it be?”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “If the mission to your world only calls for… 1 participant, please choose Aika to be the one to go for the mission and take care of her…!”

Satoru couldn’t help but become shocked at his request… 

Now, he understood why Yuuji suddenly contacted him privately and even seemed hesitant in telling him his request. 

Normally, the one whose world would become the stage for the mission would choose who they would like to become the participant for the mission. It was only fair for them to choose the one most appropriate for the mission since it’d affect the fate of their world. 

It was an unwritten rule that everyone simply agreed with without even having to discuss it.

So, for someone like Yuuji, who’s usually very courteous, to ignore this rule and ask him to choose Aika, was quite shocking for Satoru. 

But, knowing Yuuji, he must’ve had a reason. 

Suzuki Satoru: “Why would you want me to choose Aika-san, Yuuji-kun?”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Because I wish for her to become more powerful…”

Yuuji then explained to him her current situation in her world… The threat of fallen angels. The roasted chicken who’s known for his promiscuity. The rogue fallen angel cadre. And Khaos Brigade.

Even if Aika possessed amazing magical abilities that she got from the mission in Tatsuya’s world, Yuuji doubted it’d be enough to protect her from the threats of the supernatural world in her world. 

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “That is why… If Aika were to participate in the mission, she might get a powerful class and abilities of a level 100 character from Yggdrasil as part of the support items granted to them by the group chat!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “It would greatly increase her strength and give her the ability to protect herself in her own world! That’s why…”

Suzuki Satoru: “I see…”

A few moments passed in silence as Yuuji waited anxiously for Satoru’s answer to his request…

And soon, a message came from him. 

Suzuki Satoru: “I understand. Please don’t worry, Yuuji-kun. I will invite Aika if only one person could participate in the mission in my world as you wish. And I will also protect her with all the power of Ainz Ooal Gown. I consider her as a little sister, so I will definitely not let her be in any danger!”

Suzuki Satoru: “And if the mission called for 2 or more people, I will definitely pick you as well so you can watch over her.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Satoru-san… Thank you very much!”

Suzuki Satoru: “Hahaha, don’t mind it. I’m also the one who’ll be greatly helped if you and Aika were to help me, anyway.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Still… Thank you for accepting my selfish request, Satoru-san.”

Suzuki Satoru: “You’re welcome. And really, you don’t need to mind it anymore since you’ve helped me even more multiple times.”

Suzuki Satoru: “Then, I’ll be going first. I’ll go eat something and take a short nap, before I continue my grind.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “I understand. Then, I won’t bother you anymore. Thank you once again, Satoru-san.”

Suzuki Satoru: “Mm. See you later.”

Yuuji let out a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully. 

And just then, he heard knocking on his door and the familiar, beautiful voice of Yuna resounding from behind it. 

“Yuu-kun! Breakfast is ready! Hurry and wash up and go to the dining hall so we can eat together!”

“I’ll be right there!”

Yuuji answered, before turning towards the girls and gently shake them awake.

“Est, Alice, Aria. Wake up… I need to go. You can continue sleeping in your necklace and spiritual form.”

“Mmm…. Master… 5 more minutes…”

The two slime girls… normally very obedient to him, also began nuzzling up even more to Est, who refused to wake up…

In the end, Yuuji had to coax them into waking up for a bit so they could transform into their respective form that Yuuji could bring with him. 

“I’ll make you girls pudding if you wake up now.”

And with just one line, Yuuji was able to quickly wash up and head to the dining hall with the necklace of Aria and Alice around his neck and Est in her tattoo form on his hand.
