What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: For example, in my world, there are powers like Ripple and Stands, Emiya is a magic-like mage, Touhou is an Originium Arts user, and Kaslana is a kind of thing called Honkai Energy...]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Therefore, in addition to everyday items, this group chat allows trading of various specialties derived from the unique powers of each world.]

[The Strongest Elbow Master: Wow~ That's amazing. So, does that mean I'm the only Earthling in this group? What are the names of everyone's planets?]

[Aspiring to become a champion of justice: ...No, actually, most people in the group are from Earth.]

Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Earthling +1

[Laoba Big Stomach: Earthlings +1]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Earthling +1]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: ...I'm not, I'm from Terra. @Noah is still chasing me, what about you?]

Noah is still chasing me: Sorry, I'm from Earth too.

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: ...Oh, it's okay, I'm used to it]

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: (Hugs) It's okay, Sister Tazi, everyone in the group is a good person, they won't isolate you because of this]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Thank you, Hachi (bitter smile)]

Despite saying that, Talulah was genuinely envious of everyone in the group who lived on Earth.

After all, it was clear from their past daily chats that the group members' living environments were not too bad, and Banami, who seemed to be completely free from supernatural influences, spoke with a carefree and relaxed air.

Her Earth... it must be a wonderful place.

[Noah is still chasing me: So what about the second function? @HiddenPurpleIsTheStrongestStand]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: The second feature is the shop. You should have received something when you joined the group chat, right? You should be able to find it in the group chat interface.]

Noah is still chasing me: Hmm, found him.

Gu Nuo quickly found a [Ten-Draw Ticket] and 1,000 [Points] on the interface.

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Ten-pull tickets can be used for lotteries in the shop interface. Points are like the currency used in group chats. They can also be used for lotteries, and can be used for item transfer between two worlds. Most importantly, they can be used to purchase items in the shop.]

[Hermit's Purple is the strongest substitute: The items in the shop are all very valuable, but also very expensive, and they refresh every seven days. I suggest you save them up and use them when you need them.]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Finally, aside from that free 10-pull ticket, you'd better not use your points on gacha pulls... Consider this advice from someone who's been there.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: (chuckle.jpg) Old man... I spent all my points, and the most valuable thing I drew in the end was a fig leaf from some ultimate creature]

[Old Eight's huge appetite: (chuckle.jpg)]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: (chuckle.jpg)]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Oh shit! Little girl, why did you have to remind me of this?! I still don't understand why Kars' loincloth was in the gacha pool! This chat group must be targeting me!]

[Yearning to become a champion of justice: (Trying not to laugh.jpg)]

[The ultimate elbow striker: (Confused.jpg)]

Going all in is a form of wisdom, provided you win the bet.

Chapter Three: Your Daily Life and My Daily Life Seem Different

Nighttime, a deserted gas station in Tokyo.

"ah--!!!"

A sharp scream echoed through the night sky. The middle-aged woman and the gas station attendant sat down in terror, watching the disgusting creature, which resembled a slug and an anemone, crawl out from under the car. Their limbs went weak, and for a moment they even forgot to run away.

"No, please don't..."

Biological instincts drove the woman to cry out and beg for mercy at the monster before her, but to no avail. She watched helplessly as the disgusting, slimy tentacles still managed to wrap around the station attendant's body, accompanied by his shrill screams, as the tentacles trembled and tried to pull him into its terrifying mouth.

And just then...

boom--!

With a muffled thud, the sticky monster was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the gas station's billboard, splattering slime everywhere.

The woman looked up blankly and saw a boy in a school uniform standing in front of her. There seemed to be a few strands of sticky liquid still on the tips of his leather shoes.

After helping the gas station attendant who had fallen to the ground to his feet, Gu Nuo asked the still-shaken man, "Hey, are there any other people inside the gas station?"

"No, no, I'm the only one on duty today," the station attendant stammered.

"Then run!"

"Yes, yes!" ×2

The station staff and the woman seemed to wake up from a dream. The woman even quickly kicked off her high heels, which were in the way, and ran barefoot with the station staff toward the main road in a panic.

Gu Nuo, on the other hand, slowly turned around after watching the other person's receding figure.

Before they knew it, dozens... even hundreds of monsters, this seemingly endless horde, had completely surrounded the gas station.

This gas station, so remote that hardly anyone comes here, is clearly not worth the trouble of these disgusting creatures. So... it's obvious who their target is.

"Hey."

Gu Nuo sighed slightly, took out his energy explosive gun, and then fired at the indescribable creatures.

Liquid-type alien beast, Pedron.

This is the most troublesome alien beast Gu Nuo has ever encountered since his debut.

It wasn't because of the opponent's strength, nor because of the opponent's intelligence.

That's a kind of mechanistic excrement.

Even though Gu Nuo had defeated its massive, fused form many times since its debut, he was still unable to completely eradicate this cunning alien beast that had learned to differentiate and hide its weaker individuals, then secretly accumulate power in a corner before making a comeback.

These creatures feed on fear, absorb information by fighting the strong, and then mimic and evolve into even more powerful alien beasts, like a malignant virus that is impossible to eradicate.

However, just over ten minutes later, as Gu Nuo's breathing became slightly heavy, and he stepped on the last Pedron's head, blasting it into dissipation with a blasting gun, a familiar ringtone suddenly rang in his ears.

[Ding—Group member is detected engaging in daily activities; group chat points are being calculated...]

[Abnormal daily activity detected... Recalculating...]

[Detection complete... The system is automatically evaluating...]

[Evaluation: You son of a bitch, what do you mean by "a hundred monsters are just everyday occurrences"?]

Settlement Reward: 200 points

...It's just routine monster clearing, how come it gives so many points all at once?

As Gu Nuo caught her breath, her gaze gradually turned strange.

Under the advice of the old man named Joseph in the chat group, he did not rush to squander the thousand points given to him when he joined the group, but instead temporarily saved the ten-pull ticket that was given to him.

After all, according to them, although most of the group members' worlds are not simple, under normal circumstances, they can only get 1 point by completing all their daily check-ins and daily tasks.

...Your daily routine and mine seem to be different?

Gu Nuo sighed, whether out of envy or regret.

He took out the Evolution Trust again from his pocket. The detection light that had been flashing was now off, which meant that the alien beasts' actions for the night had come to an end, and it also meant that he could go home and rest after work.

Then go back.

Gu Nuoxin thought to herself, and started walking towards home.

……

……

"did you find it?"

In the dimly lit conference room, several people sat in silence. The middle-aged woman sitting at the head of the table spoke first.

"I'm sorry, the fourth candidate seems to be different from the previous ones. He is very cautious in his movements. Apart from confirming that his residence is in Tokyo, we have not found any other clues about him."

The white-clad youth, whose figure flickered, spoke these words. His body appeared somewhat distorted, as if he were standing in front of everyone using a holographic projection device.

"Continue to intensify the search efforts."

Seated in the second seat was a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair and glasses. He crossed his fingers and looked at the young man before him seriously, his tone carrying an unquestionable air:

"Qian Shuling's missed opportunity is the last one. The time predicted by the visitor is drawing ever closer. We must obtain more secrets from Ultraman..."

"Mr. Matsunaga, since TPC headquarters has transferred me to be the head of TLT, even if it is only temporary, I hope you can respect my opinion."

Megumi Kiyama, captain of the GUTS team and currently the temporary administrator of TLT, interrupted Yoichiro Matsunaga:

“Ultraman itself has no obligation to bear all of this on our Earth. I have always believed that they fight with the greatest goodwill for humanity. I do not want... at least not while I am still in TLT, for such radical practices to be repeated in our team.”

“…I understand.” Matsunaga Yoichiro was silent for a moment before answering in a muffled voice.

"Then please continue."

Megumi turned her gaze back to the white-clad boy in front of her:

"Your Excellency, the strategy of friendly contact with the fourth host will remain unchanged. In addition, I will arrange for Horii from the Victory Team to come and communicate with the visitor in the near future to see if there is still room for improvement in the Forgotten River System. I will need to trouble you to do a good job in the defense of the Forgotten River and the protective shield."

The young man in white had no objections; this was simply part of his job. He nodded silently, then his figure blurred and he left the conference room.

Seeing this, the TLT executives in the conference room said no more and took their leave. Even if they did have some opinions about Megumi Kijima, they wouldn't bring them up directly now that the new manager's charade hadn't been going on for very long.

Before long, the meeting room was empty except for Miyako Kijima.

And this powerful woman, who had just been acting like an elite, finally had a moment to relax.

Kei rubbed her temples wearily.

Being the only dove among a group of hawks, even with a higher-ranking position, inevitably leads to some exhaustion and mental strain.

She then thought of the time machine hidden in the meteorite that had fallen not long ago.

"...In a world shrouded in darkness...are the only ones who can guide people...the three giants...?"

Intermediate Megumi muttered to herself.

Chapter 4 Group Update & Rescue Mission

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Little Tower, how have you been lately? Do you have enough food and warm clothes?]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: That's enough, Mr. Joseph. We are truly grateful for your continued support. The Reunion Movement will always remember your kindness.]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Ah, it was just a small favor for me. Your situation is indeed difficult. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't push yourself too hard.]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Hmm.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Yes! Mei-senpai said three sentences to me today! Ah~ I feel our hearts are slowly getting closer~ I'm definitely not far from winning over Mei-senpai!]

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: Are you indulging in unrealistic fantasies again? Haji Worm, you rascal...]

The chat group was as lively as ever.

Gu Nuo had just returned home after dealing with a large alien beast when he saw hundreds of chat messages in the group chat.

Gu Nuo habitually browsed through the chat logs. Most of them were the same as usual, meaningless, but interesting in various ways.

A week has passed since he joined this strange chat group.

During this period, Gu Nuo's daily life was no different from before.

During the day, I attend classes and browse the internet to follow female voice actresses. At night, I elbow each other with alien beasts. If there's anything different about it, it's just that I have a little spare time to chat in the group.

During these days, he also got a general idea of ​​what kind of people the group members were from the chat history.

Joseph, one of the earliest members to join the chat group, seems to be quite old. He is warm-hearted and, apart from his occasional eccentricities, has a gentlemanly demeanor.

Kiritsugu Emiya, one of the first members to join the chat group, seems to be an assassin. He is relatively quiet and has a cold personality, but he has a wife and daughter who love him very much.

The first idol of the Reunion Movement, the leader of an underground organization, lives in an extremely harsh geographical environment and has an extremely difficult life. However, she does not put her limited resources on herself, but shares weal and woe with her subordinates.

As for Banami and Kaslana, who wants to drink Mei's ○ juice, one is just a pure high school girl and the other is a slightly perverted lesbian, so there's not much to say about them.

Meanwhile, Hisahito Itadori, who joined the group around the same time as him...

It's good, but to be honest, it's a bit too cheerful. Gu Nuo doesn't quite know how to handle this kind of person.
