How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

The passing of time: Even if the group leader, Master Meng, is in a bad mood, it's unlikely that the first time the group abandoned its mission, a major crisis like the loss of members would occur.

General Store Uncle: @Newbie

Grocery store owner: It seems he really has lost consciousness.

Paid newbies: It's unclear yet. Registration for the group task has already closed. While newbies are filling in the numbers and crying for help...

A seventeen-year-old girl: It looks like the person directly ran into the mission target.

Tragedy: Encountering the final boss outside the starting village...

Green Mountain Demon King: Calm down, the person is still in the group, so they're not dead yet.

Green Mountain Demon King: I have already sent my avatar over as quickly as possible. The newbie friend who's just there to make up the numbers has an invisibility passive skill. Unless he suffers an incurable injury, even if he's unconscious, the enemy is unlikely to find him! Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as possible!

This is a lie!

Let's not even talk about how Wu left the town of Ba after he ran all the way there. He was already exhausted and had no strength to return. Even if he still had the strength, he wouldn't have chosen to return.

This newbie, who's just there to fill a spot, has an invisibility passive ability. Whether he's dead or alive, going back will only result in him returning empty-handed and waiting for the newbie to come back online and follow up on the news. So it's better for him to continue working on his important matters.

Besides, this newbie who's just there to make up the numbers should be a protagonist in a story, and the female elf assassin, one of the suspects, is very likely not a suspect in the group mission, but rather the female protagonist in the story. She'll definitely be fine, so there's no need for him to go through all this trouble.

Most importantly, dead people will be automatically kicked out of the group!

That's why Aoyama was certain that the newbies who were just there to make up the numbers were fine, at least not in any life-threatening danger!

Paid newbie: Then all we can do is pray that everyone is alright.

Departed: I hope the group admin arrives in time, and I hope everyone is alright.

Grocery store owner: ...

Grocery store owner: I have a feeling that what you guys are saying is just making things worse.

Green Mountain Demon King: No! That might be a bad omen!

A seventeen-year-old girl: I don't think that newbie who's just there to fill a spot looks like he'll die so easily.

A seventeen-year-old girl: "I can't die yet! I haven't won over the group owner yet! Aaaaaaahhhhh!!" Then she suddenly explodes into a superhuman form, isn't that a common trope?

Paid newbie: Oh, so it's a classic, slow-paced, action-packed story? I quite like that too.

Green Mountain Demon King: ...What were you busy with all those days you disappeared? Don't go looking at anything strange!

Aoyama the Great Demon King: And why use me as an example? Shouldn't it be for the sake of Yukari-ma, who is better? At least she looks like a beautiful girl.

Seventeen-year-old girl: Oh dear, even if it's the group admin, I'll still get angry if you say that to me~

A seventeen-year-old girl: Besides, didn't the group admin already say that newbies who are just there to fill in the numbers like to poke your butt?

Seventeen-year-old girl: Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. Go after true love!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Mourning: The building seems to be tilting.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Isn't it normal for the thread to go off-topic?

Paid newbie: Yeah, it would be strange if the chat group didn't go off-topic.

Grocery store owner: ...

Grocery store owner: My eyes are a little blurry, I'll log off now.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ?

Newbie just there to fill in: Uncle, what's wrong with you, uncle?

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: Why does this older guy seem to be avoiding me? Am I that scary...?

Aoyama the Great Demon King: In a way, he is indeed quite terrifying.

Aoyama touched his own butt.

Aoyama the Great Demon King: So, are you alright now? @Newbie looking for numbers

Paid newbie: Huh? I just noticed.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hmph! I'll wake up one morning and be a hero again!!

Paid Newbie: First Awakening?

Green Mountain Demon King: What happened to you?

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): I wasn't done anything! Newbie (just there): I was forced into sleep.

To be fair, while facing the armored warrior Feifei's outward magic exerted considerable pressure on her, in the end, because her feet didn't leave the ground, she couldn't do anything to her.

At most, I just took a nap; it was just that I felt it was dirty to sleep in front of the Adventurers' Guild.

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Oh, right, group admin, speaking of which, I've already figured out who the target of the mission is.

Paid newbie: That female elf assassin, right? I get it, I get it.

Green Mountain Demon King: The giant beast you mentioned has run into the city?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Newbie commenter: Hmm, that giant beast looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, exactly like the one in the recreated picture.

A seventeen-year-old girl: Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Paid newbie: Which Tyrannosaurus Rex is it?

For newbies who pay for the service: Is it the one that's sneaking around suspiciously, or the one that yells "Roar!"?

Newbie just filling in the blanks: It's the one that says "Awooo!" (°口°乀) with the pronunciation order like ↙↓↘→↗.

Paid Newbie: Oh, that's the one! That one is terrifying. It likes to look at people's butts, and it demolished a public toilet, even the toilet seat, and then slept with people inside. It's so disgusting!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Hmmmm, I don't seem to remember, was I taken?

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Qingshan Great Demon King: Regardless of whether the Tyrannosaurus Rex actually ate the toilet or not, so that Tyrannosaurus Rex is our mission target, right?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Yeah, that's right, but it seems like someone has tamed it and is using it as a mount.

The newbie, just there to fill a spot: He's a warrior wearing full-body armor. I checked his registration information; his name is Ainz, and his companion is a magic caster named Nabe—yes, that means a mage.

Paid newbie: ...

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Oh open!

Miss Fox slapped her forehead, only now realizing what was going on with the name "Flying Squirrel"!

Isn't this the infamous Ainz Ooal Gown, Ainz Ooal Gown?

Before, I felt something was off. It was my first time experiencing time travel, so why did I have this eerie sense of déjà vu everywhere? Now I finally understand! It turns out she's ended up in Ainz Ooal Gown's world!!

"...Alright, it's just an isekai anime after all. I didn't use my brain when I watched it, so it's understandable that I haven't remembered it after all this time."

Although Miss Fox had read Ainz Ooal Gown's light novels in the past when she was out of books to read, it was too much of a pain for her, so she didn't read it much and couldn't remember it at all.

But now...

"Question: How can I, with my level 10 physique, overturn a giant tomb?"

Aoyama the Great Demon King: Momonga and Nabe...

Green Mountain Demon King: Why do these two names give me a sense of déjà vu?

Paid newbie: Huh? Does the group admin know about this world?

What's that lit up above Miss Fox's head?!

Newbie here to make up the numbers: Oh right, I haven't asked the group admin about my future yet!

Newbie here to fill the group: Hurry! Group admin, come take a look at my future and see if I have a chance to take down that Momonga and Nabe!

The Great Demon King of Qingshan:…

Qingshan was sweating profusely!

He felt a sense of déjà vu with Ainz and Nabe, so it must be from some work he had seen, but he really couldn't remember!

Now that there's no Baidu search engine for him, how is he supposed to know the 'future' of this world?! He's not actually still in his original world; he's just created an avatar to participate in group missions!!

Green Mountain Demon King: Let's wait a while.

Green Mountain Demon King: I'm really not very proficient at the incarnation technique; it took quite a bit of my energy. I'll wait a bit and then see what your future holds, @NewbieWhoJustCatchesUp

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Ah, disappointing _(:зゝ∠)_

"We must finish the harvesting of magic as soon as possible!" Aoyama gritted his teeth.

"If this drags on, the image of a powerful figure we've built up might collapse!"

Today, Aoyama is still working hard to maintain her public image!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Miss Fox: No one understands dog group owners better than me!

"Whoa~" A fox's head emerged from the river.

Um, don't get me wrong, it's not that fox head with a muscular body and a backpack full of strange equipment, it's just Miss Fox's head here. Of course, waiting three more seconds won't bring any dirty jokes.

He simply woke up in front of the Adventurers' Guild and, feeling refreshed, immediately went to bathe in the river.

"There's nothing more comfortable than running in the water on a hot day!"

"Even though it's the middle of the night!" The temperature is quite cold even in the sweltering summer.

However, even if Miss Fox loses a lot of Pokémon, she's still a level 10 'strong' Pokémon, so taking a cold shower at midnight is nothing to her!

"But the main point is definitely what to do next~"

"The King of the Undead? That's not as good as the world Doraemon created with his strange gadgets. At least it's safer to stand on Nobita's side."

"Maybe I can even get some props in return, like a picnic blanket... *slurp*" Feeling liquid spilling from the corner of her mouth, Miss Fox quickly reached out and wiped it away.

"No, no, now is not the time to eat!"

"Although I really miss chicken biscuits, water chestnut cake, layered pork belly pastry, rice noodle rolls, flaky lotus seed paste buns, rice noodle rolls, thin-skinned shrimp dumplings, congee with rice and vegetables, rabbit dumplings, steamed crab roe siu mai, clay pot rice, wonton noodles, stir-fried rice noodles, and so on and so forth~"

"But now we need to get down to business! Slurp!"

"How did they manage to overturn the great tomb and scatter Bone Pride's ashes! Slurp!"

"Slurp!" Miss Fox's chin was already covered in drool!

Miss Fox is the first to release poison in the early morning!

Despite all the playfulness, Miss Fox took a big gulp of river water and managed to calm down afterward!

After all, the reality is pretty cruel. The poison I just released can only make her crave it, and it won't do anything else, unless she knows how to make it herself!

"Gurgle!~"

"Wait a minute, I think I actually know how to do it!"

"No, no, no, that's not right. The problem isn't whether we can do it, it's whether we can find the materials!"

"No, that's not right. We shouldn't be thinking about that now!"

"Let me think, let me think, let me think carefully!!" The mouth resisted, but the body was honest.

Despite trying to convince herself, Miss Fox's body betrayed her by covering her ears with her hands and writhing wildly, refusing to listen to the bastard's rambling.

After all, it's common knowledge that Miss Fox's brain and body are two separate species, and neither will yield to the other when it matters.

"Ah!! I choose death!"

Miss Fox gave up thinking.

Lying on your back on the water, even if you're not wearing anything and your feet aren't touching the ground, you can't get excited without triggering a breath-masking technique.

"Wait, I think I've overlooked something..." My brain rebooted.

Miss Fox flipped through the little notebook in her brain. The dog group leader had a few more plus marks. The Overlord Stinking Dragon was still very eye-catching, but the one with the most plus marks belonged to the newly added Bone King.

Old grudges and new, forced non-interference agreements, along with the old novel's later plot twists, are enough for her to hold onto for several years.

"But right now I'm just an ordinary level 10 Earth Goddess who throws spirits, it'll be a bit difficult to overturn the Great Tomb of Nazarick..."
