Chapter 165 ~ Overlord The next morning. Still slightly tired from the trip yesterday, the twins unconsciously leaned their bodies towards Yuuji as they walked side by side, making their way to school. Yuna would let out a cute little yawn from time to time, while Nina walked silently in a daze. Arriving at school, Yuuji walked his sisters to her classroom first. But before they separate, Yuuji held their hands for a moment, halting them from entering. “Hm? What’s wrong, Yuu-kun?” “Yuuji?” Yuuji smiled softly and responded. “I made a promise this afternoon with Haruka-senpai this afternoon. So we won’t be able to walk home together.” “Ah... That’s right. I remember you did make that promise after the basketball game this friday.” Nina thought for a moment before nodding, remembering hearing about it. “Eeh~? Well... I guess it can’t be helped...” Yuna pouted her lips and averted her eyes to the side, sulking. Walking home after school with her Yuu-kun was always something she looked forward to. After all, she could hug his arms and be super close to him when very few people would be walking the streets near their home. Nina was inwardly disappointed as well, but she kept her cool and understood Yuuji’s situation. “I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you next time. Meanwhile, you should bring Aria and Alice with you when you walk home. They’ll protect you. Right, you two?” Yuuji touched the obsidian gem and white, pearly necklace affectionately, and the two slimes responded with a slight jiggle, imperceptible to anyone else but those near Yuuji. “Alright. Then, we’ll be in Aria-chan and Alice-chan’s care.” “Mm. I’ll come to your class to hand you Aria and Alice. DOn’t go before I come, okay?” “Okay~” “Yes.” The two then entered their class, and Yuuji also made his way to his classroom, which was the one next to Yuna and Nina’s. Upon entering, he greeted his classmates, as well as Raku and Ai as he took his seat beside them. And just then... A notification came to his phone. --------------------------------------------------------- World: [Overlord] Mission(s): Become an Adamantite class adventurer.Obtain 1 World-Tier ItemSubjugate the Evil OrganizationSubjugate at least one nation.

The mission in Satoru’s world. He quickly went to the group chat room, and as he expected, everyone had gathered and begun discussing the mission. Suzuki Satoru: “So it has finally arrived huh...?” Lelouch Lamperouge: “The missions seem... Quite difficult this time.” Lelouch Lamperouge: “Understood. I will be in your care.” Suzuki Satoru: “Likewise. Thank you, Lelouch-kun.” Suzuki Satoru: “Then finally... I would like Aika-san to join this mission.” Kiryuu Aika: “E-Eh? I-Is that okay, Satoru-san...?” Aika, seeing Satoru’s message declaring his decision to choose her for the mission, couldn’t help but look at her phone in shock. Initially, she did want to join the mission to increase her strength in preparation for the upcoming “events” and conflicts that would happen in her world. But after seeing the missions... The difficulty seemed a bit too much for her, who’s only capable of some magic and healing that’s mediocre compared to Yuuji, Satoru, Tatsuya, and C.C, and mediocre physical combat skills compared to Erika. She also didn’t have specialized magic that would be useful like Lelouch’s [Archivist of Universal Knowledge]. Even after she received the supporting items from the group chat for the mission, wouldn’t it be better for someone, who’s initially powerful, to have that and help complete the mission more easily? Suzuki Satoru: “Of course I’m sure, Aika-san.” Kiryuu Aika: “But...” Suzuki Satoru: “Aika-san, would you like to know why I chose you?” Kiryuu Aika: “Yes...” Suzuki Satoru: “Then, I will tell you. Firstly, although Tatsuya-kun is powerful, the New World is one with extremely primitive technology compared to his world. While his magic would be useful, I don’t think he’ll be able to utilize his true skills and talent, which lies in engineering and programming, much in this world.” Shiba Tatsuya: “I agree. Thank you for your consideration, Satoru-san.” Suzuki Satoru: “Mm. I’m sorry, Tatsuya-kun. I promise I’ll invite you to my world after the mission is done.” Shiba Tatsuya: “There’s no need for apologies. And I look forward to visiting your world.” Suzuki Satoru: “Secondly, while C.C-san is immortal and is capable of powerful healing and life saving abilities with her [Saintess of Life] SSR, her abilities might rarely be utilized, given how carefully I plan on approaching these missions. Of course it’d be reassuring to have such a powerful healer. If I can choose one more participant, then I would definitely have C.C-san join us, but... Suzuki Satoru: “Since only three participants are allowed, I would like someone else to have this chance.” C.C: “I understand. I would also find it boring if I have nothing to do... It’s not like I can help manage the base. All I’d do is laze around.” Suzuki Satoru: “Thank you for understanding, C.C-san.” Suzuki Satoru: “And so, this left me with two choices. Either you, Aika-san, or Erika-san. And... I choose you, because Erika-san already has a powerful and combat oriented SSR.” Chiba Erika: “I see, that makes sense... Aika, Satoru-san is right. You should use this chance to get stronger! Your world is dangerous, right? We don’t even know when a mission for your world will appear, so you have to be able to protect yourself there!” Kiryuu Aika: “Satoru-san... Erika-chan...” Kiryuu Aika: “Alright... Thank you for giving me this chance!!! I will do my best!!!” Seeing the conversation unfolding in the group chat, Yuuji couldn’t help but feel relief spreading throughout his entire being... As he had hoped, Aika was given the chance to join this mission and grow stronger, and he would also be there to protect her in case something happens. This was the best case scenario. Even if the mission seemed difficult, he was confident that they’d be able to overcome it. Suzuki Satoru: “Yes. Then, I’ll be in all of your care! Now then, shall we start discussing our plans for the mission? I would also like to hear Tatsuya-kun, C.C-san, and Erika-san’s opinion as well.” Shiba Tatsuya: “Of course.” The group chat was filled with conversations and planning for the entirety of Yuuji’s time in school. At this moment, the mission was more important than school, so Yuuji secretly kept using his phone even during class. And thanks to his [Acting Proficiency], no one was the wiser about this. Time passed gently to others, but quickly for Yuuji, as before he knew it, the bell signifying the end of school for the day rang, and the message from Satoru, informing that there was only 10 minutes left before the server shut down, came to his phone. Thus, everyone decided to start the mission now. The world before him began to shine brilliantly, enveloping his classroom and the figure of his friends in light. And in the next moment, he felt the familiar sensation of suddenly being weightless, before he was transported.
