"Hmm."
Yuki contemplated calmly. He had various conjectures in his mind about why this new member hadn't connected yet, especially since they ignored her yesterday...
"I'll send another message. If there's no reply, we'll try again later."
"Alright."
The group agreed. However, what they didn't know was that, in another world, somewhere in Japan, inside a high school, a beautiful, voluptuous young woman with long black hair and violet eyes was intently watching a holographic screen in front of her.
It had appeared out of nowhere a day ago, and since then, she had been experimenting with her friends about its existence and whether they could see it.
Unfortunately, she was the only one who could see this floating screen...
But what intrigued her the most was what was written on the screen...
[Do you want to know the truth about what happened in your childhood?]
[Would you like to see your mother again?]
[Do you seek revenge against your father? Against those who took your family away from you?]
[You have been chosen!]
[As a Heroine, the Champion wishes to help you fulfill your desires.]
[Nothing is impossible for me, the one who controls time...]
[I can take you back to the past to live that precious moment once more...]
[Do you wish to join the chat group?]
[Yes] [No]
This message left a deep impression on the young woman, who contemplated it for a long time before accepting...
"Ufufu... Go back to the past, huh? Oh my, how interesting..."
Her eyes sparkled with temptation. This holographic screen almost seemed demonic, as it knew how to touch the deepest desires of people. If given a choice, her greatest wish was to see her mother once more. But as tempting as it was, she knew she was dealing with something too good to be true.
To be honest, before accepting the request that kept appearing on the screen, she decided to investigate its origin a bit...
"Rias, I've found something interesting..."
In front of the young woman with black hair stood a beautiful, voluptuous girl with crimson red hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Her hourglass figure was especially attractive.
"Hm? Interesting? What are you talking about, Akeno?"
Rias looked at her gently. There were very few things that interested her, especially in the human world.
Akeno smiled and began to explain the situation. She and Rias were very close friends, as well as master and servant, so there were almost no secrets between them. Since this holographic screen was so intriguing, Akeno didn't hesitate to mention it...
"Champion? I've never heard of that..."
Rias tilted her head, trying to recall, but there was nothing about a 'Champion'. She couldn't see the holographic screen herself, and if it weren't for her trust in Akeno, she might have thought her crazy. But in this supernatural world where many inexplicable things happen, the screen wasn't that surprising...
"Maybe Sona has some information..."
Rias wasn't a bookworm like her friend Sona, so her knowledge was limited. Still, she thought it would be a good idea to ask her friend; they had nothing to lose.
"Hm, let's do it."
Akeno hesitated for a few seconds but nodded after considering her options. If she wanted to keep the chat room a secret, she wouldn't have told Rias. Besides, Sona was a good friend, so there was no harm in trying...
With the chat room messages in mind, Rias and Akeno headed to the student council. Upon entering, they saw a girl with short black hair and glasses that partially hid her violet eyes, giving her a serious, hardworking appearance.
This girl was Sona Sitri, like the other two, a demon and a student of the school, as well as the president of the student council...
"Rias, Akeno, what a surprise... What brings you here?"
Adjusting her glasses, Sona raised an eyebrow in doubt. Although they were friends, they were usually busy with their own affairs. They mostly interacted when passing by each other in the hallways or during emergencies.
"There's something we want to ask you..."
Rias said as Akeno began her explanation. Sona entered deep thought as she listened to the two girls talk about the chat screen and a 'Champion'. The more they spoke, the more confused Sona became...
"Sorry, Rias, Akeno, I don't have any information about a 'Champion'. But if what this strange screen says is true, then this person is very dangerous..."
Controlling time is the highest level of magic, and even more unheard of is going back in time. Until now, Sona had never heard of anything like traveling back in time. Manipulation and stopping time might be possible with magic, but traveling through parallel timelines was beyond what magic could explain...
"Even you don't know anything, huh?"
Rias murmured, bringing a hand to her chin. She thought it might be best to take this matter to her older brother...
"There's very little information. Akeno, accept it for now. Maybe we can track the source if you manage to link with that screen..."
Sona observed from various angles, trying to detect any anomalies around Akeno, but she couldn't. The only thing she could think of was that if this invisible screen was similar to a system, then perhaps the permissions were insufficient. If Akeno managed to join, it might become visible or provide more information.
Of course, this was just her idea. It was also possible that Akeno could be in danger, but that seemed unlikely. If someone could communicate with Akeno invisibly and undetected, and had malicious intentions, Akeno would already be dead. There would be no need for such senseless actions. Still, Sona and Rias remained alert, as anything could happen...
"Oh?..."
Akeno nodded, and when she joined, just as Sona suspected, the screen expanded, and more information appeared. This surprised Akeno a bit...
"It's just as you thought, Sona-kaicho. There's much more now... Fufufu."
Akeno laughed and began to manipulate the chat room.
"Still invisible, huh?"
Unable to avoid it, Sona and Rias crossed their arms and waited for Akeno to speak. They still couldn't detect anything, leaving them defenseless.
[Welcome, new member. I will be your Administrator, and as you might have guessed, I am the Champion, Emperor of Time, Yuki Uchiha. You can call me Yuki if you like... Before we start explaining the purpose of this group and its objectives, you should read this beginner's guide. There is a lot of useful information to help you understand things better. Also, everything written in the beginner's guide is real, so please don't limit your imagination to the common sense of your world, as it will be problematic and never-ending. So... Shall we begin?]
Due to the existence of Emilia, who was a headache to explain things to, and Mikoto almost striking her with lightning in frustration as she was a victim of this innocent Elf, Yuki created a beginner's guide to help new members integrate into the group more smoothly. Their questions would also be answered through this guide, even if their world was stuck in the Middle Ages. Yuki believed that unless the new member was stupid, they would understand what was happening.
To make it more interesting and informative, the guide was updated for each world Yuki visited. He also left notes for members to write about their worlds and their dangers.
Akeno blinked as the small Yuki (chibi) suddenly appeared, dressed as a teacher with glasses and a lab coat. It was so cute that Yuno and Mana, with their karma, bought a plushie very similar to this chibi. Not just them, but also Yami bought cakes shaped like him. Of course, Yuki knew nothing about this...
[Very well, let me start by congratulating you. You are the chosen one of your world, the child of destiny. You are what we need... My brave Heroine, thank you for joining us!]
"Huh?"
Akeno's eyes widened, surprised...

TN: "My brave heroine" huh? 😏
