I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"I see. You're only interested in my electronic warfare capabilities. But may I ask what you need my electronic warfare abilities for? By the way, if you want me to hack into some important regional firewalls, I'm not so sure I can do that."

This is a lie. If UMP45 wanted to infiltrate the firewalls of important areas in this world, it could do so secretly without being detected. While there might be a risk of being discovered, UMP45 wasn't worried about that. After all, it was difficult for humans and electronic devices to compete with an electronic module that was decades ahead of this world.

However, UMP45 herself did not say that it was this world, after all, in her original world, if she wanted to hack into the army's network system, there would still be a lot of difficulties.

At the same time, UMP45 took this opportunity to "inquire" about the other party's purpose, hoping to find out what Kurumi Tokisaki and the others were up to. Of course, because it was a humanoid, Yuhaka did not see that the other party was lying. Moreover, UMP45's half-truths made it difficult to guess what was true and what was false.

Regarding the UMP45, Kurumi Tokisaki slightly adjusted her posture and looked at UMP45, saying:

"Of course, I don't need you to help us hack into those countries' security network systems. What we need is for you to help us deal with some things on online forums."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 couldn't help but feel puzzled. It was strange that she didn't need him to hack into the security network systems of those countries and just wanted to handle the affairs of the online forums herself.

UMP45, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looked at the other person and asked:

"What happened on the online forum? Could you elaborate?"

Kurumi Tokisaki naturally addressed UMP45's question:

"Of course, we're asking you to handle things on the forum and the internet so that we can help us investigate where something unusual might be happening online."

"An unusual situation? What is this?"

Upon hearing UMP45's question, Kurumi Tokisaki thought for a moment about how to explain it to UMP45 before answering:

"Hmm... It's roughly like how creatures, machines, or monsters appear in this world, as in other ACGN works."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 was somewhat surprised, as she hadn't expected such a thing to happen in the world.

"You mean, the things that exist in those works will come into this world?"

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded in response to UMP45's question. Seeing Kurumi Tokisaki nod, UMP45 and the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It seemed that the world was not as simple as they had imagined, which made UMP45 and the others feel a bit of a headache.

"Regarding these things, I think you might find some traces on the internet, such as here and here."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 took out the phone he had stolen from the thugs and investigated the locations of the two places Kurumi Tokisaki had mentioned. From Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 learned what had happened at those two locations.

A tower crane collapsed at a construction site due to improper operation, resulting in minor injuries to two workers.

An unidentified explosion occurred at a tourist beach. No injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation.

Seeing these things, UMP45 knew that they were all tricks used by the media to appease the public, so UMP45 did not believe them. Therefore, UMP45 used her electronic warfare module to investigate and quickly obtained some intelligence.

Looking at the photos taken by her phone of Ying and Ehaka destroying the Ruin Guard and the scene after Skadi and Ehaka's battle, UMP45 couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Through her module, UMP45 had also found information about those things. The Ruin Guard was nothing to UMP45 and her team; it was like a large autonomous combat robot to them. Something that could be destroyed by arrows was basically no problem for them.

But the Terrorfish is terrifying. It has a strong ability to survive and adapt. It evolves different adaptability to different environments or different types of attacks. If this creature were thrown into their world, it would probably cause great harm, not to mention in this relatively ordinary world where the technology is decades behind theirs.

"Ugh... just seeing all this gives me a headache..."

UMP9, standing nearby, felt a chill run down her spine when she saw what was displayed on the UMP45 phone; they had never imagined that such a thing could happen in this world.

UMP45 also turned its attention to Kurumi Tokisaki and asked:

"Then, something like this couldn't have happened for no reason, could it? Who did it?"

Regarding the UMP45 issue, Kurumi Tokisaki also informed UMP45 that:

"The reason is not yet clear, but I personally believe that Altair did all these things, and his purpose may be to destroy the world?"

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1290 [The Alliance Agreement Reached]

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 frowned slightly and asked Kurumi:

"Do you have any evidence?"

In response to the question about UMP45, Kurumi Tokisaki took a small fork and cut a piece of the small cake in front of her, answering:

"Of course there is evidence. When those summoned creatures were destroyed, there was a data phenomenon similar to the death and disappearance of characters in RE: Creators. So we also believe that those creatures were all summoned by Altair."

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's explanation, UMP45 didn't know what to say. After all, she had never seen the scenes of those summoned monsters being destroyed, so she couldn't make a judgment. But in that case, she also had a question.

"If it really was Altair who summoned those monsters, what was her purpose in doing so? After all, she also summoned us. If she wanted to destroy the world, she could have just summoned those monsters to destroy the world. Why would she need to summon us, who could disrupt her plans?"

Regarding the doubts about UMP45, Kurumi Tokisaki spread her hands and shook her head, saying:

"Unfortunately, I'm also baffled about this. After all, their behavior is unpredictable, and I don't know why they did it. Or perhaps Altair thinks we can also cause damage to the world."

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 pondered for a moment. However, the clues were too few, and UMP45 didn't know Altair's specific purpose. After all, with Altair's abilities, destroying the world would be a piece of cake; they wouldn't even need to come out with those monsters...

After saying all that, Kurumi Tokisaki looked at UMP45 and the others and said:

"Instead of these things that we don't understand yet, are you interested in the proposal I mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki mention the previous invitation, UMP45 couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression and said to Kurumi:

"I can handle these specific tasks, but it's practically impossible for me to search the whole world by myself unless you bring me the most advanced computer equipment in the world. Otherwise, even if my electronic modules are running at full capacity, I still won't be able to process that much information."

Regarding the UMP45 requirement, Kurumi Tokisaki stated that there was no problem.

"We certainly have no problem with that. We can also handle equipment issues. In addition, we can provide you with a safe place to stay. Most importantly, we can send you back to your original world."

Upon hearing this news, UMP45's eyes lit up immediately. This was clearly good news. Originally, she was planning to find Altair and find a way to get him to send her back. But if he had the ability to send her back, wouldn't she not need to look for that guy Altair?

However, there is a problem: how did the other party send them back? After all, there is no way to verify the authenticity of such a thing, which is a bit puzzling for UMP45.

"Hmm... no matter what you say, what ability do you have to prove that you can send us back to our original world?"

Regarding the UMP45 issue, Kurumi Tokisaki felt it was a perfectly normal thing, and she stated the following:

"This question is very simple. You saw what Yu-Yu-chan said when she took out the cake earlier, right? Yu-Yu-chan has the ability to open up space, and Miss Zelus behind Yu-Yu-chan can also teleport you back to your original world. However, this requires finding the coordinates of your world, which will take some time."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, UMP45 looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked:

"How long will it take? Approximately how long?"

Regarding the UMP45 question, Kurumi Tokisaki waved her hand and said:

"I don't know about that. Last time, when Miss Zelus was looking for me, she found me in a very short time, but the other one on our side still hasn't found her world."

Hearing this, UMP45 couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, clearly considering the pros and cons. But soon, UMP45 clapped his hands and looked at Kurumi Tokisaki, saying:

"Alright, it's decided then! We're willing to help you, but there's one condition: we won't attack enemies that are much stronger than us or those whose information is incomplete."

Kurumi Tokisaki agreed to UMP45's conditions. After all, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't expect the 404 squad's combat power to do anything for them. In terms of combat power, they still had to rely on her and Yuhaka.

After both sides agreed to each other's terms, Kurumi Tokisaki extended her hand to UMP45 and said:

"Well then, I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future, Ms. UMP45."

UMP45 reached out and grasped Kurumi Tokisaki's small hand, then smiled and said:

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Miss Boss."

"boss?"

Upon hearing UMP45's words, Kurumi Tokisaki looked at him with a puzzled expression, and UMP45 explained:

"Well... although we're supposed to be working together, we're essentially working for you, so it's normal for us to call you boss, right?"

After hearing UMP45's explanation, Kurumi Tokisaki nodded with a knowing look on her face. Then, with a smile, she looked at UMP45 and said:

"Although it's a bit late, the boss wasn't talking about me~"

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki pulled Yuhaka, who was eating cake nearby, onto her lap and said to UMP45 and the others:

"This is your boss~"

"O~O???"

Yuhaka, who was eating cake, was suddenly picked up, causing her to look up at Tokisaki Kurumi with a puzzled expression. UMP45 and the others looked at Yuhaka sitting on Tokisaki Kurumi's lap with blank expressions, clearly not understanding what was going on. When UMP45 and the others reacted, they were shocked. They obviously did not expect that the little girl eating cake was actually the leader of Tokisaki Kurumi and the others.

This left UMP45 and the others speechless. They hadn't expected that Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, was actually the leader of Tokisaki Kurumi's group. Even UMP45 had been fooled by his appearance. UMP45 couldn't help but look at Yuhaka with a hint of wariness. Originally, UMP45 thought Yuhaka was one of Tokisaki Kurumi's companions, but she hadn't expected her judgment to be wrong. This made UMP45 admire Yuhaka's acting skills greatly; he had actually managed to deceive her. He was truly not to be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of Team 404 with an expression that seemed to indicate that he had done something amazing. But the key point is that he hadn't done anything amazing.

This puzzled Yuhaka greatly, so she looked at Squad 404 and said:

"Want some cake? Yoyo made it! It's really delicious!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, G11, standing next to HK416, looked at Yuhaka with sparkling eyes and said:

"Is that alright?! Then please feel free to ask!"

As she spoke, G11 ran towards her cake, while HK416, seeing G11's excited expression, gave her a speechless look and said:

"You ate quite a few snacks over there, don't you get tired of them...?"

Well... although HK416's words didn't stop G11, in any case, this operation to find the characters summoned by Altair has officially come to an end.

Volume 1 [The Lazy Chapter]: Chapter 1291 [The Meeting That Began]

On an island in Yuhaka's imaginary space, on the lawn in front of Yuhaka's house, a large table was set up. At the same time, the people present were also gathered around it, looking at each other with curious expressions. After all, they were all characters from different works, which made them very curious about each other. UMP45 knew the identities of most of the people present, especially Tokisaki Kurumi and her group. UMP45 had looked them up online beforehand, and the fact that Tokisaki Kurumi and Honjou Nia were here surprised UMP45. UMP45 was also very clear about their abilities.

One possesses time-related abilities, while the other has the omniscient Whispering Scripture. (It's as if Nia Honjou is completely useless except for the Whispering Scripture...)

These two are basically the strongest characters here. Of course, UMP45 doesn't know how strong Yuhaka, who is like a mascot, really is, but as the leader here, UMP45 believes that the other party's strength is definitely no weaker than the people present.

After everyone had arrived, Kurumi Tokisaki addressed the girls present:

"Alright everyone, now we have all the members here. Apart from the villains and members who are not suitable to join us, it's just the people here now."

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, everyone realized that some people hadn't been recruited to the island. UMP45, wanting to know information that might be about the enemy, raised her hand and asked Kurumi:

"Miss Kurumi, could you tell me who those characters are unsuitable?"

Regarding the UMP45 issue, Kurumi Tokisaki nodded and said, "There's no problem with that. Please take a look at this."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki pressed a button on a remote control, and an image appeared on the disc-like 3D projection device placed in the middle of the table. From this image, everyone saw the images of Kiritsugu Emiya and his group, as well as Kagetane Hiruko.

"That is?!"

Upon seeing Kiritsugu Emiya, Miyu Sakuzuki couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Although she didn't have much of an impression of Kiritsugu Emiya, since he had used her as a tool to achieve his ideals, she was somewhat envious of the Kiritsugu Emiya from Illya's world. The reason was that the Kiritsugu Emiya from Illya's world had given up his ideals to choose his family. From this point of view, Miyu Sakuzuki couldn't help but feel a little envious of the Kiritsugu Emiya from Illya's world.

Tina, who was sitting next to Miyuki Sakuzuki, also noticed Hiruko Kagetane on the screen and frowned slightly, saying:

"If I remember correctly, that masked Hiruko Kagetane was also a mechanized soldier."

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded in agreement with their reactions and said:

"That's right, just as Miss Miyu and Miss Tina said. One of them is Kiritsugu Emiya from Fate/Zero, and the other is Hiruko Kagetane, who comes from the same world as Miss Tina. I will send everyone information about these people."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki handed a thick stack of documents to the Palico beside her, asking her to help distribute the documents to everyone present. After receiving the documents, everyone saw what was on them, and Miyu Sakuzuki noticed that this Kiritsugu Emiya was completely different from the Kiritsugu Emiya she had seen in the manga. Miyu Sakuzuki felt that the Kiritsugu Emiya in the documents was more like the Kiritsugu Emiya from her side, with a completely shameless attitude.

Tina was now completely certain that the Hiruko Kagetane in the information was the one she knew. After all, as a fellow member of the Mechanized Soldier Project, Tina had seen a lot of recorded information on mechanized soldiers, including Hiruko Kagetane, since he was a mechanized soldier created by "that person".

After reviewing the information, UMP45 raised his hand and asked Kurumi Tokisaki:

"So, does Miss Kurumi want us to take care of them?"
