Book 5: Chapter 37:2: Fugu Feast vs. Bitter-Gourd-Flavored Energy Bar, Part 2

I Have a Strong Presence: Speaking of which, Aki Tomoya sought me out before the world merger, wanting me to be the female lead character in some dating sim game. Then...

[TL Note: Aki Tomoya is the main character of the Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata series, which I Have a Strong Presence, Kato Megumi, is from. Here is more information about him: /wiki/Tomoya_Aki.]

He Who Knows Fate: Then?

I Have a Strong Presence: I rejected him.

Queen of Ice and Snow: Why?

I Have a Strong Presence: I’m already tired from completing missions every day. I don’t want to be involved in the creation of some ridiculous game. Another reason is the storyline. It made me uncomfortable, giving me the illusion I’m merely living a scripted life. I don’t want to have anything to do with the storyline at all.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: That feeling is quite normal, right?

Kazuma the Brute: Right, right. This feeling is normal. Had I joined the Dimension Administrators Association earlier, I absolutely would not have reincarnated into another world. Even if I did, I absolutely would not bring that idiot goddess. That idiot goddess cannot even defeat a frog. Indeed, she’s someone whose stats are all above average except for intelligence.

Umaru-chan: If stupidity had a color, it would definitely be blue.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Speaking of which, Kato Megumi is such a pretty girl. However, she is actually not popular because of her weak presence.

He Who Knows Fate: Kato Megumi is actually quite pretty, but she has a rather weak presence. It is still fine in the Dimension Administrators Association, but this phenomenon should be even more obvious in her daily life.

I Have a Strong Presence: Thank you for your praise. That’s why I’m doing my best to improve my ability. According to the association, I can gain fine control over the strengthening or weakening of my presence after a few more awakenings.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

He Who Knows Fate: Did Aki Tomoya stop badgering you after you rejected him? He does not feel like someone who gives up easily.

I Have a Strong Presence: Indeed. He is not one to give up easily, so I recommended the Service Club to him. Just yesterday.

He Who Knows Fate: ???

I Have a Strong Presence: I told him there’s a person even more suitable to be the lead female character in the Service Club. Furthermore, the Service Club has many talents. After that, I avoided him. Although this ability feels full of malice towards me, I have to admit it is quite useful.

He Who Knows Fate: Indeed, Fujimaru Ritsuka improved rapidly. Even in my world, we would consider her a cultivation genius. Of course, she cannot compare to me.

Magus of Flowers: Tsk! How narcissistic.

He Who Knows Fate: Don’t put it that way. I’m really not being narcissistic. I am absolutely considered extremely talented among cultivators. If we measure this using luck and lifespan, I am the earliest to die in the Chen Clan. This proves that my talent is the best in the Chen Clan.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Alright, alright. Stop using your clan’s luck and short lifespan to measure talent. Your ancestor has already reduced the world consciousness that dared do that to ashes. Stop beating a dead horse. Explain it using more conventional methods.

He Who Knows Fate: The conventional explanation would be that I reached the Nascent Soul Realm the moment I converted to cultivation.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Why can’t I progress that quickly?

Magus of Flowers: That is not logical. Shouldn’t an old youkai like you be the type to accumulate strength over time, then suddenly reach the Soul Separation Realm in one go?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Doctor Roman, how goes the search for a Singularity?

Solomon: I’m still searching. Chaldea’s people have already agreed to your request, but they also requested that we not cause trouble in the seven Singularities, so that will take some time.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Alright. Go as fast as you can.

Magus of Flowers: Tsk! How can it be that easy? Yakumo Yukari, just watch as I buy the fate-severing talisman. I only need 20,000 more points. Damn it! Why is this thing so expensive?

Although Merlin kept grumbling about it, he knew buying the fate-severing talisman was necessary. After all, he knew how toxic his mouth could be. Furthermore, the fate-severing talisman had more uses than just preventing a summoning.

Merlin had even considered watching his words. However, for some reason, he could not help mocking Yakumo Yukari whenever he saw her chatting.

The next day, loud thunder outside Babylon Labs woke Chen Heng. Furthermore, he sensed someone barging into the Demon-Subduing Lightning Dragon Ritual Array. However, he did not pay it any mind.

The thunder continued even after Chen Heng finished washing up. Right, this was normal. After all, Chen Heng did not think anyone could travel through 20 kilometers of this lightning zone within five minutes. Those who dared to barge into this zone would not fall within five minutes, either.
