I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 161 Imperial Military Academy Student and Filial Daughter

"Huh, has someone new joined the group?"

Bulma immediately showed interest.

[Bulma: Welcome, welcome! This is a chat group connecting different worlds. I'm Bulma from the Dragon Ball world. I'm 16 years old and live in West City... @IronHeadKid @EternalTanjiro, Mr. Minato, and Erii and Miko, come and see the newcomer!]

[Iron-Headed Kid: Coming, coming!]

It's around six or seven in the morning, and Erii probably hasn't woken up yet.

Neither Minato Namikaze nor Miko responded immediately.

Tanjiro was the first to show his face, and he introduced himself in the group with great enthusiasm, and explained to the newcomers that "you can communicate by typing with your mind".

When he first joined the group, he was troubled by this problem for several days.

Bulma noticed another detail—

[Bulma: By the way, why is there another one among the new recruits who seems to be 'possessed by a demon'? Could it be Miko's friend? @MikoYotsuya]

[Yotsuya Miko: ...It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? Didn't Hikaru-san say that we're all basically from different worlds?]

[Yotsuya Miko: However, if this person is truly troubled by a ghost, please mention it in the group chat. Hikari and Kikyo are both very skilled at handling these kinds of situations. I've only recently started learning, but I'll do my best to help if needed!]

At this time.

The newcomers who had joined the group gradually came to their senses.

The person tagged, "Possessed by Evil Spirits," spoke first:

[Possessed by an evil spirit: ...Although I don't quite understand what's going on, thank you all for your kindness. I haven't seen any ghosts yet, but if I have the chance to do so in the future, I'll consider asking you for advice.]

[Possessed by an evil spirit: Also, let me introduce myself. My name is Brand, 25 years old, male. I used to be an Imperial soldier, and now I'm unemployed.]

"Brand..."

Uchiha Hikaru, who was watching the screen, had a sudden thought and muttered to himself, "Just as I expected."

Brand, a Teigu user from the world of Akame ga Kill!, is a former Imperial soldier known as the "Hundred-Man Slayer." Unable to tolerate the corruption of the Empire, he defected to the Revolutionary Army and became a professional assassin for them.

"Possessed by Evil Spirits" is the name of one of the "Teigu" that Brand possesses.

The so-called "Teigu" is a special type of equipment in the world of Akame ga Kill! It is said to have been created by the founding emperor a thousand years ago with the full power of the nation. Among them, "Demon Possessed" is an armor-type Teigu made from the body material of the super dangerous species Tyrande. It can grant the wearer extremely powerful melee combat abilities, and theoretically, it can even fuse and evolve with the wearer...

Of course, this kind of combination is corrosive in nature and is not a good thing for the wearer.

However, Brand doesn't need to worry about this, because according to the normal plot development, he won't even live to see the moment he merges with the armor...

As for the other two...

"Tiger of the West and Middle" is, without a doubt, a Jinchūriki of a certain Sukuna.

[Tiger of the West: Wow, is there really such a magical thing? Are you all really from different worlds? My name is Yuujin Itadori, I'm a student at the Jujutsu High School, I'm 15 years old. Nice to meet you all!]

[Yotsuya Miko: Huh, Itadori Yuujin also lives in Tokyo? What's this Jujutsu High School? There's a school like that in Tokyo?]

[Nameless: The Tokyo you live in might not be the same one. Also, the full name of "Jujutsu High School" is "Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School," which is a place that specializes in teaching students how to deal with "curses." You can think of it as a modern-day Demon Slayer Corps.]

[Iron-Headed Kid: Huh? Does Miss Hikari know Mr. Itadori's identity?]

[Anonymous: I know a little bit.]

To be precise.

It's possible that only Uchiha Hikaru in this group knows the identities of Brand and Itadori Yuujin.

Although they both come from the world of anime, the manga "Akame ga Kill!" started serialization in 2010 and was only adapted into an anime and broadcast in 14. "Jujutsu Kaisen" only started serialization in 2018. Even Erii's side could not find their original works.

Of course……

Around 09, the initial inspiration for "Akatsuki" had most likely already emerged. If we could find that manga artist in the Dragon Raja world, we could probably get some information out of him, but... there's no need.

the other side.

Bulma tagged the third new group member, "Onihime".

[Bulma @ Onihime: Still don't know who this friend is?]

[Oni-hime: ...I am Kaido's son. You can call me Kozuki Oden!]

[Anonymous: 6]

Uchiha Hikaru's guess was confirmed.

It seems that "Oni-hime" is Yamato from the One Piece world, one of the Four Emperors, and Kaido's daughter.

And "Kozuki Oden"...

It was the name of the person she admired—

The former daimyo of Wano Country, a person who appears powerful but whose intelligence is extraordinary.

"Powerful appearance" refers to having a distinguished family background, being popular with the people, and possessing top-tier combat strength in the pirate world, capable of rivaling the Four Emperors, such as Kaido.

Having an exceptionally high IQ means that even when you have a winning hand, you are manipulated by your enemy using tricks so simple they can hardly be called "conspiracy," and ultimately you jump into a vat of boiling oil and die...

Well...

That's pretty stupid.

Uchiha Hikaru estimated that even if Fenrir, a mentally challenged child, were placed in his position, he might do a better job.

As for Yamato's mysterious adoration of Kozuki Oden...

While it's a bit difficult to evaluate, it's also somewhat understandable.

After all, Yamato's family environment was not ideal.

Born into a single-parent family, Yamato's father, Kaido, was a treacherous and despicable man who basically disciplined his children by beating them—hitting them with a stick at the slightest provocation. Yamato herself had little opportunity for education, possessing only a copy of Oden's Diary to read. Growing up under such circumstances, it would be a miracle if she developed a normal set of values.

[Anonymous@Onihime: Miss Oden, may I ask your age this year?]

[Bulma: Eh, Miss? Weren't you talking about the son?]

[Eternal Sister: ...Sorry, I was talking to Nine-Tails and didn't notice the messages in the group. Although I don't quite understand what's going on, the system's label shouldn't be wrong; "Hime" is indeed a title only for women. Does Miss Hikari know something? @Anonymous]

[Anonymous: Hmm...]

in reality.

Uchiha Hikaru rummaged through a pile of manga books and found a few One Piece volumes. He handed one of them to Bulma across from him and then uploaded the others to the group chat.
