In the cafeteria…

Many students are now currently having an ugly face… Why? It's because of the protagonist of this story, Enmado Rokuro! This guy has a very thick skin to bring the girls to a people filled place!

Can't this guy at least put some consideration to us single persons? We are trying to eat something good here!! Not eat dogshit!

Despite all the stares Rokuro and the girls has been getting, he still continued feeding the two with the food they bought from the cafeteria, mainly desserts since they had just finished eating their main dish.

He kept feeding the girls with their favorite dessert Benio with ohagi and Mayura with ice cream. The satisfied faces of his girls filled his heart with warmth.

'Sigh… I might be a bastard, but I won't let these girls feel inconvenience. I won't let them get hurt no matter the cost.'

He might be a bastard, but he ain't a trash. As he knew how society looks at the concept called harem, of course he what weight this toxic relationship carries.

He continued feeding the two without care in the world. All he cares about is the happiness of his girls… though, all the things he is doing now reminds him of his life in the Fate world.

Inevitably, he shivered at the thought of it, specially when he remembered Ryougi Shiki. He kept asking himself what he has done wrong to incur the hidden attribute of her which is Yandere.

From what he remembered, Shiki isn't this type of girl, in fact, she was even the one who encourage him to build a harem, to which he agreed as his morality kept degrading at that time.

While thinking of all these, he didn't forget to wipe the mouths of the two girls after they finished eating.

Such happy and peaceful life…

But… as one might say… "Peace precedes the Chaos", and staying true to those words, the precious silence they've aquired is bound to get destroyed.

Crack!

The space seems to shatter near the football field, the students doesn't seem to be knowing that something weird is happening.

While the students doesn't know anything, it's different for the trio. They can sense a malicious amount of Yin energy seeping through the cracks.

Lucky for them, the recess has just finished, so all the students all around the campus are going back to their classrooms.

Meanwhile, Rokuro and the two girls proceeded to run near the cracked space. Mayura bring forth a talisman then chanted…

"Mysteriously within the reality, I earnestly seek the Great Gate of Ookami…

Discreetly and with respect, I beseech to thee in this manner…

Please hear my plea, with tranquillity and serenity…

Humbly… Humbly I speak!

Magano gate, capitulate, as swiftly as the Ritsu-Ryuu! "

Meanwhile with Rokuro…

'I can't believe they can say those cliche words without much thought of it! Ugh, do I also have to chant those cliche words? No! I will never do that!'

Rokuro's body cringe at those words. He couldn't even find himself wanting to chant even a single word on the phrase.

While Rokuro cringed at those words, a mysterious gate opened on the air. Benio and Mayura looked at each and nodded then each grabbed a hand of Rokuro as they pulled him into the gate.

Right after they passed through the gate, it disappeared completely.

The place looks very horrific, that a normal person will go wild with all malevolent aura roaming all around the place.

Ruins, blood, and all sorts of things you'll see in a catastrophic event are present. As if to remind them that the is a catastrophic place, a red run, if you can call it a sun, shone in the red sky with dim red lights.

At this moment, he opened the Group Chat to see of there are some members who are currently online. Surprisingly, at the same time he opened his, the other members also became online, one by one.

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

[Enmado Rokuro is online…]

[Rias Gremory is online…]

[Gojo Satoru is online…]

[Erza Scarlet is online…]

[Nero Claudius is online…]

[Zhongli ✓ is online…]

[Rias Gremory: Ohh… all of us are online, what a coincidence!]

[Nero Claudius: Umu! You're right]

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

Rokuro continued to walk around with the two girls as they look for the Creature they're gonna defeat. He looked at the chatting members of the GC… then he suddenly had a thought.

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

[Enmado Rokuro: System… or whatever you are who's responsible for operating this Group Chat… I have a question to ask…]

[Enmado Rokuro: What is the overall function of this Group Chat?]

[Enmado Rokuro: Wow, that's a lot of info dump.]

[Rias Gremory: Your right Rokuro! But hey… I'm glad that you asked that, because if you didn't, I'm afraid I'll never new this!]

[Zhongli ✓: Money… Currency… Mora…]

[Nero Claudius: Umu? What's wrong Zhongli?]

[Zhongli ✓: Ahh! It's nothing…]

-----------

Meanwhile in Liyue. We can see Zhongli, with his usual dress which looks like a combination of western and eastern coats, adorned with golden accents and dragonic scale patterns, walking along the coast, lost in thought.

While reading the chats of the Group Chat members, his right hand instinctively pat his pockets.

It was empty…

Silence fell…

Sigh…

"Again, I forgot my wallet." Zhongli murmured with contemn in his eyes.

Just as he was about to go back to his workplace…

"Boo!!"

Zhongli reflexively jumped jumped away from the assaulter, well if you can call her an assaulter that is.

Zhongli looked at his 'assaulter' and saw someone who he knows very well. That black with red accents get up. More importantly that mischievous smirk an her pretty face. There's no way he will forget that when he sees it almost every day.

There's no doubt about it is…

"Cough! Director Hu, what are you doing here?"

Umu! It's his boss! Hu Tao! The 77th Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, which is responsible for burying the dead.

Grinning, Hu Tao looked at Zhongli with shinning eyes.

"Hehehe… What's our good consultant doing in here?"

'No, I should be the one saying that.'

"I was admiring the scenery of the harbor, most especially the people who are doing their jobs. Left to right, doing all of this to sustain their daily life."

Hu Tao's star like eyes shone brightly as if she has just gotten a magnificent idea.

"Hearing you say that, made me construct a magnificent idea to promote our Funeral Parlor! Zhongli! With your knowledge as boundless as an Adepti… We can foo-! *Ahem* I mean, we can promote our Parlor into a much higher standing! This way, our Parlor will be famous and lots of people will go to our Parlor and we can do our jobs much more effectively!"

Hu Tao keeps on looking at him as she keeps on telling his wondrous plans.

Zhongli, on the other hand…

'By effectively… do you mean having lots of jobs to do? I just wanted to retire in being an Archon… but now I have to do a lot of jobs? Well not that it inconvenience me, since I quite like being a consultant. But… 'Sigh' can't this girl stop poking me? I really can't handle this child…'

Yup, Hu Tao kept poking him in the face as he did not bother in hearing him. She pouted and shouted…

"Zhongli! If you do not listen to what I'm saying I'll deduct your salary!"

This made Zhongli flinch at those words. Despite being the creator of Mora, he does not have a single penny now. He's broke. He doesn't have any concept of savings. He likes to waste it on expensive things, which sometimes ending up making his workplace to cover up with his expenses.

So he immediately agreed to his boss' suggestions. Which… He ended up regretting, as it was again… a ridiculous idea.

And what's worst is that, everytime he tries to explain it… he sometimes get scolded or teased.

They eventually got famished and decided to eat at the nearest eating place.

Upon reaching there, they each ordered their portion and sat on the table.

Zhongli then opened the Group Chat and saw…

[Enmado Rokuro is starting a Livestream…

Join/No]
