Chapter 3

Just as he was about to contact them, a message appeared in the chat room. 

Suzuki Satoru: “O-Ooohh!!! This is amazing! I got [Keeper of Memories]!!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Wow, that’s indeed amazing… Depending on how you use it, you will become even more invincible in that new world, Satoru-san. It’s also very useful in your current world, isn’t it?

Suzuki Satoru: “Yes! I’m really bad at remembering things that aren’t game-related, so this would be a great help in my work! Well, at least until I go into Yggdrasil…”

Yuuji looked at Satoru’s message worriedly. He’s still visibly unsure whether or not he should remain in his current world, or go out of his safe zone into Yggdrasil… 

After all, the world of Yggdrasil is extremely dangerous, especially with powerful beings such as the Brightness Dragon Lord, Platinum Dragon Lord, and Elder Coffin Dragon Lord, as well as the ruling powers in that world. If Satoru truly became Momonga and the leader of Ainz Ooal Gown, he would need to face such terrifying opponents. 

Even with the support from the entirety of Nazarick and the Multiverse Group Chat, making the decision to go to such a world would be scary, especially since he was only a regular salaryman in his world.

He shook his head. He can’t think about it like that and be despondent. He’ll just trust Satoru’s decision and support him whatever it is.

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Hehehe, it is indeed very powerful, but please don’t use it for nefarious things, alright? Like towards women…”

Suzuki Satoru: “I won’t! I-I wouldn’t have the courage to do it anyways…”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “That’s good.”

Suzuki Satoru: “Speaking of which, what did you receive, Yuuji?”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Ah, I was very lucky and received the [Divine Body] SSR we were talking about. My whole body was in tremendous pain the moment I received it, but… the result is as it is described in the item description. I was extremely shocked as well when I see my reflection on the smartphone.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Ah! So you get [Divine Body]?!!! I’m so jealous!!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Yes… I was super lucky with my pull. Uhm… I’m sorry?”

Kiryuu Aika: “Hah… Well, it’s a bit of a shame, but I got something good too, so don’t worry! Just like you, my whole body was in pain to the moment I get it. Honestly, it was the most excruciating thing I’ve ever felt in my life...”

Kiryuu Aika: “But! I became a super sexy woman~ Hehe~ Do you guys want to see~? If you want to, I can send you a pic of myself only in my underwear~ But only if you send me a pic of your naked bodies! I’m especially interested in the one with the appearance that “epitomizes masculine beauty”~!”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “I will decline. I am not interested in your body.”

Shiba Tatsuya: “I shall decline as well.”

Suzuki Satoru: “I-I will decline as well. I will be arrested before I could even make my decision to go to Yggdrasil or not if there is a picture of a first-year JK in my phone…”

(AN: JK = Joshi Kousei, a japanese slang for a high school girl.)

Yuuji thought for a moment. He was truly curious how much more beautiful she had become considering how much he had changed. But, if the price of it was his naked photo…

He couldn’t do it! If there is anyone he’d show the new appearance of his naked body to, it would be…

Aaahhh! What am I thinking!

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...I will respectfully decline as well. By the way, if you didn’t get [Divine Physique], then what did you get, Aika?”

Kiryuu Aika: “Tch~ You’re no fun~ Well, it would be better for us to see each other’s new appearances when we see each other in real life~ I got [Full Body Potential Unlocked]! Here it is~!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Wow… You’ve reached the peak of humanity. That’s amazing.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “A human who has reached the peak of humanity and became a high human, huh? That’s certainly amazing.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Oh! I like the sound of that! The peak of humanity, huh~? Then I guess I truly became the “Flower on the High Peak”!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Considering how much I changed, I think you are now on par or perhaps even more beautiful than “Kuoh Academy’s Two Great Ladies”, right?”

Kiryuu Aika: “Hehe, of course~! I hadn’t fully “inspected” myself yet, but from just my face, my voice, my boobs, and my ass, I’m sure I’ve become even more beautiful and sexier than them~”

Kiryuu Aika: “I’m also a girl loved by fate now~! Literally!!!

Kiryuu Aika: “And, I got Aikido Proficiency, Ballet Proficiency, and Child Rearing Proficiency! Didn’t I just become the perfect wife material?!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “That is… Uhn, I can’t help but agree.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “Yes, if only you are not that vulgar, I’m sure you will be the perfect wife material.”

Shiba Tatsuya: “I agree. You lack the elegance and decency of a young lady.”

Suzuki Satoru: “...I’m sorry, Aika. But I agree with them.”

Kiryuu Aika: “HUH?! What are you guys talking about?! It’s called GAP MOE! Isn’t it sexy to have a perfect wife who would become a slutty pervert in bed!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Except I don’t think you’re only a freak in the sheets…”

Kiryuu Aika: “...Hmph! Now, I won’t send a sexy selfie of myself in a far-too-small bikini anymore to you guys! How unfortunate~”

At that moment, all the males in the group chat sweatdropped. Even across the multiverses, their thoughts have aligned perfectly…

Kiryuu Aika: “Alright, next next! I’m curious what Lelouch and Tatsuya got!”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “I received [Archivist of Universal Knowledge]. While it doesn’t strengthen my physique, it’s a very amazing item that suits me very well. It will be very useful.”

Suzuki Satoru: “Wow… They’re both so amazing as well! As expected of an SSR.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Yes… The other items are great as well, but an SSR is just on a different level.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Yeah… As much as I love this Luxurious Ryokan in Kyoto, I love this [Full Body Potential Unlock] more.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Oh? Did you get a Luxurious Ryokan? Congrats!”

Kiryuu Aika: “Thanks~ I even got all the paperwork in the inventory~ I can’t wait to go there on my holiday~”

Suzuki Satoru: “Wow, that’s amazing… I only got some magic items. They’re all amazing, but it is a bit disappointing.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “I received quite a bit of shares from large and famous companies in this world, and they’re all related to the Sakuradite mining in Japan as well. This will make everything easier.”

Shiba Tatsuya: “I’m the same as Satoru-san. I received a few magic items for my SR and R. They’re quite useful to help protect my home.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Oh, I also got something similar to that as well as some shares of a really big company in my world.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Oh~ I see. Then, we know now who the richest are in this group, now don’t we~?”

Tsubakihara Yuuji, Lelouch Lamperouge: “Oi.”

Kiryuu Aika: “Ahahaha~ Oh, by the way, what kind of proficiencies did you get? I’ve told you mine so tell me yours too!!!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “I received investment, programming, marksman, and Krav Maga proficiencies.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “Investment proficiency? That’s amazing… Will you help me with my investments? With this newfound fortune, I’d like to invest in other fields as well.”

Shiba Tatsuya: “I would like your help as well if that is okay. Though, it’s not with investments. I would like you to help me with a project of mine using your programming proficiency.”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Of course. I would be happy to. Please just dm me whenever you need my assistance. I will do my best.”

Satoru Suzuki: “Investment proficiency… That’s very nice. I’m envious.”

Kiryuu Aika: “I know right! Well, now I really know who out of the two I gotta bring to my world if possible! I’ll definitely have him make me money!”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...”

Yuuji shook his head and sighed helplessly. He knew that Aika had a perverted and… “jovial” character, for the lack of a better word. But he didn’t expect her to be this upfront with her non-sexual desires. 

...Well, I guess it’s better than hiding it and then trying to manipulate me secretly into making her money.

Yuuji trusted everyone in this group chat because everyone knows each other’s true character and personality from their stories. So, he was glad everyone was so honest and upfront with their desires. 

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Anyway, what proficiencies did you guys get?”

Suzuki Satoru: “I got insight proficiency and etiquette proficiency. Ahaha… It really feels like they’re trying to tell me something.”

Yuuji couldn’t help but agree. After all, both of those proficiencies would be perfect if he went into Yggdrasil and became Momonga, ruler of the Underground Tomb of Nazarick. 

Shiba Tatsuya: “There’s no need to think much of it, Satoru-san. It’s all random. Those proficiencies are useful in any world.”

Suzuki Satoru: “...Thank you, Tatsuya. You’re right. I’m just reading too much into it.”

The messages stopped for a moment before a message from Satoru appeared once again. 

Suzuki Satoru: “Ah, I’m sorry for dragging the mood down. Please continue. I’m curious what proficiencies Tatsuya and Lelouch received too.”

Shiba Tatsuya: “I received driving proficiency. It’s not much, but it is useful in its own regard. I received plenty of luxurious fruits, cakes, and an antique chandelier for the rest of the gacha items I received.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “I received track and field proficiency and origami proficiency. I don’t mind origami proficiency since Nunnaly loves it, but track and field...”

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “What’s wrong? Isn’t it great? You can run very quickly and skillfully now.”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “Yes, but only for a short period of time. This proficiency… doesn’t increase my stamina…”

Ah… Yuuji finally realized. Out of everyone in this group, Lelouch has the least stamina, perhaps even lesser than Aika in the past who was a normal high school girl. Now that she got her [Full Body Potential Unlock], Lelouch would have the least stamina.

Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...Perhaps you can work on increasing it from now on?”

Lelouch Lamperouge: “...I will try.”

In the end, he would need a certain level of stamina if he wanted to participate in the Group Chat mission. Lelouch realized this, but the fact still made him sigh.

Kiryuu Aika: “Yosh~! Lelouch’s poor stamina aside, let’s talk about the fun stuff~! What are your fetishes, boys~? I’m suuuuuper curious~! After all, aside from Yuuji, your stories never mention anything of the sort!”

Yuuji sweatdropped and smiled helplessly. Even though she seemed to have become an extremely beautiful girl, she was still as true to her desires as she was. Still the same pervert at heart, just like him.

The first thought when he got [Divine Physique], this super powerful item that literally turned his body into that of a divine being and gave him a lot of amazing features and abilities, wasn’t about the abilities and traits he got, but his appearance. 

With such a handsome appearance, perfectly defined muscles, and an athletic body that puts even world-class top models and Olympic athletes to shame, he couldn’t help but anticipate how attractive he would be for his mom, aunt, and twin sisters. 

He was still true to his own desires as well.

Yuuji looked at the clock on his smartphone. It was around seven-thirty in the morning, the time he’d usually be awakened by his sisters and get ready for school. It had been a few hours since he was awakened by the searing headache.

Hm… I better go wash up.

He stood up and placed the Multiverse Group Chat smartphone on his table. 

“Ah, that’s right. I need to tell Lelouch about the Curse Remover.”

He quickly picked his smartphone back up, DMed Lelouch about the item, and placed it back down.

But, just as he was about to make his way to the door, he heard familiar voices from outside his room.

“Nina! I’ll wake up Yuuji! You just go and help mom with breakfast!”

“No, nee-san. I will wake up Yuuji. It is my duty as his sister.”

“I’m also his sister! Geeez! I wanted to have my alone time with Yuuji in the morning!”

“I also want to see his morning face.”

Hearing their argument, Yuuji couldn't help but let out a little sigh and smiled softly. 

He knew how frequently the two argued, despite getting along fine the other half of the time they’re together. 

He had heard them argue about the most trivial things like who would get the last piece of karage during dinner, or who would eat the last pudding in the fridge only for it to get eaten by his aunt accidentally. But, he’d never expect them to argue who would wake him up.

He felt a bit happy, knowing that his sisters care for him that much. Though, as a man, it’s still embarrassing to have his sleeping face be seen by the girls he’s interested in. 

The voices became louder and louder as they approached his room. It was only then that he remembered.

Oh, right! I-I hadn’t thought of a good excuse!

His face and body were slightly above average before. But now, from a slightly above average high school boy into a super ultra handsome ikemen with the face and body that surpasses world-class supermodels and Olympic athletes… It was impossible to find a believable excuse in such a short period of time. 

Then in the next moment, before he could think of anything, the door to his room opened and the two came at the same time. 

Yuuji froze for a moment in panic and the two also froze in shock the moment their gaze fell upon him. 

“Y-Yuu-kun…?”

“Y-Yuuji…?”

“A-Ah… Y-Yuna… N-Nina… U-Uhm… T-This is…”

Their eyes were widened in shock and they've become frozen entirely.

Yuuji began averting his gaze and looked around, trying his best to find an excuse. But in the end…

“I-I’m sorry. I was working out and got a bit sweaty… U-Uhm… I-I’ll go and wash up! I’ll come down for breakfast as soon as possible!”

He made a tactical retreat and made his way past them and to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as he left, Yuna and Nina dropped to their knees as strength left their feet. Their faces were blushing crimson, and their eyes were still fixated upon the place where the stepbrother they love was standing.

Yuna and Nina were both two of the most beautiful, intelligent, and talented girls in the entire school.

Yuna has a stunningly beautiful appearance and a curvaceous figure she inherited from her mother. Her long, glistening light brown hair flowed graciously down to her hips, and tied on her head was a small red ribbon, a defining trait in her appearance that matches her cheerful personality. Her glossy, beautiful emerald eyes were wide open as she stared dazedly at the place where Yuuji was. 

Similarly, as a twin born from the same mother, Nina was also a gorgeous beauty with a similar curvaceous figure as her sister. Her long and beautiful light brown hair was tied cutely into a twin tail, a style that created an endearing and attractive gap-moe when compared to her cool, calm, and collected appearance that was further enhanced with her oval, rimless glasses. 

Moreover, because of their kind, friendly, and likable personalities, they’ve become the most popular girls in their school. They had plenty of female friends who admired and loved them for who they are, and of course, there were also males who had fallen for them.

The number of confessions they’ve received was phenomenal. Starting from the day they first enrolled as first years, they’ve received almost more than a hundred confessions from first, second, and third-year boys in just 30 days. It was an extremely busy and troublesome time for them to go to the meeting place and reject each and every confession they’ve received. Their breaks were spent doing such troublesome things for the entire month.

They would reject them very quickly by telling them they have someone they already fell in love with, and then move on to rejecting the next confession. 

And right now, that someone they’ve fallen in love with was making their heartbeat even quicker…

“N-N-Nina-chan… Y-Yuu-kun is…”

“U-Uhn… H-He’s… changed. D-Didn’t he seem… much… much more handsome?!”

“U-Uhn! H-He has become much more handsome… W-What happened?! How did he become so handsome so suddenly?! I-I mean… H-He’s even more handsome than the models in the magazines our friends showed us!”

“I-I don’t know… H-His voice also changed. It became deeper and… m-more attractive. I-Is it because he’s in puberty…? B-But it still doesn’t explain how he could become so… stunning in such a short period of time… T-This is very bad for my heart.”

“U-Uhn...”

The two turned and looked at each other. Their hearts pounding and their faces blushed even more crimson.

Just from a glance, they understood what the other was thinking about because they were thinking of the same thing. 

What am I going to do… I can’t hold this feeling much longer… At this rate...
