Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? - Book 5: Chapter 13: Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki Joins the Association

“Ahahaha! How stimulating…” Eventually, System 2333 broke the silence.

Of course, System 2333 was smart; it knew this was not the time for it to speak, but it had to break the silence, so it quickly returned to Luo Li’s body after speaking.

“Then, uh…I’m a little tired now. I’m going back to my room to rest first. Call me when it is time for dinner; calling me to cook dinner is fine too.” After speaking, Chen Heng made his way upstairs alone.

There was no way he could remain downstairs. When he swept his gaze through the place, he noticed Luo Li’s gaze spewing fire and Sirin looking like her brain had overloaded from seeing something she should not have.

As for Fafnir? Sorry. Chen Heng had no way to discern anything from Fafnir’s face.

Jeanne d’Arc was still playing her game. Furthermore, she wore earphones. Hence, she had not noticed anything from the very start.

Administrator He Who Knows Fate muted Magus of Flowers for ten minutes.

Phew! That feels better.

Efreet: Huh? What’s the situation? Merlin did not even speak.

He Who Knows Fate: Nothing. I just felt frustrated and wanted to vent on someone.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Beautifully done. I really want to become an administrator too.

Queen of Ice and Snow: Then continue earning evaluation points. At the same time, search for shortcuts; see if there are any missions offering the world consciousnesses’ friendship or high numbers of evaluation points as rewards.

Efreet: That’s tough. At the very least, I have never found such missions.

Blank Never Loses: Even an unmotivated person needs to have dreams. I refreshed the page many times.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I also refreshed for many days, but there were none.

Ding! Welcome, Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki, to the association!

He Who Knows Fate: Wait…this name…this seems like Root Shiki.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Hello! How is everyone doing? This humble one is Root Shiki. I’m happy to meet everyone.

Administrator He Who Knows Fate unmuted Magus of Flowers.

He Who Knows Fate: Merlin! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Do your thing! Do your thing!

Magus of Flowers: ?? Crossdress? And post a photo of yourself?

He Who Knows Fate: Why the question marks?

Magus of Flowers: Because I’m not sure whether Root Shiki is male or female. Furthermore, am I your tool? You mute me when you are upset, then unmute me when you need me. Is that all I am good for in your eyes?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: That’s too much. I’m clearly female.

Solomon: …This is Root Shiki? Indeed, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times. This tone…

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Yes, yes! I’m Root Shiki. I left my original world because of some extenuating circumstances.

Kazuma the Brute: If I recall right, Big Brother Chen Heng mentioned earlier that the Type-Moon worlds’ Root ran to his world because she wanted to laze around. Is that you?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: That’s exaggerated! What do you mean laze around?

He Who Knows Fate: Then should I discuss with my ancestor about letting you be my world’s world consciousness? That newborn world consciousness is still at my home and in a daze, almost no different from an idiot.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: There’s no need to trouble your ancestor over such a minor matter. As for that world consciousness, just let it recover slowly. It is a newborn world consciousness, after all; they are usually like that. Just like the infant stage of humans, it needs time to take in the information left by the previous world consciousness.

He Who Knows Fate: Then if I get it to call me father, would it?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: That might happen, as world consciousnesses are indeed stupid during this time—more accurately, blank. However, if you dare to do that, you’d better be prepared for the world consciousness’s revenge after it passes this stage.

He Who Knows Fate: My ancestor is a transcender.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Then never mind. As long as you are happy.

Queen of Ice and Snow: I keep feeling this differs greatly from the Root I know.

Magus of Flowers: Indeed.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Huh? Customer Service told me that if I wanted to join this group, I would have to adapt to the laws of survival in this group. Customer Service even told me to learn to be absurdly humorous when dealing with situations. That would prevent absurdly humorous situations from happening.

Lord of the White Night: Customer Service truly deserves a beating.

Efreet: But you cannot defeat Customer Service.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Furthermore, we often need Customer Service’s help.

Lord of the White Night: …

He Who Knows Fate: Don’t believe what Customer Service said. Just be normal.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: No, no, no. It’s better for me to simply observe first.

He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of which, when will Ryougi Shiki wake up?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: I’m not sure about that. I ended up borrowing her body because of your ancestor’s matter, so I’m not sure when exactly she will wake up. However, it should end up being earlier.

Solomon: That’s right. With you—the Root—gone, what’s going on with the world’s Root now?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Huh? Don’t worry. There’s nothing to worry about. What’s the rush?

Magus of Flowers: It’s not a matter of rushing. To Magi, the Root is of paramount importance.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Entering and exiting Root?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: …Ahem! Ahem! The person you are talking about is here.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Ah! Sorry. I accidentally spilled my thoughts. However, you—Root—are quite knowledgeable. To think you can even make out such a euphemism.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: She is Root, after all. There should be nothing she does not know, or something like that.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: You are just biased. I only came with my consciousness and did not keep much of my abilities; I lack my omniscience and omnipotence. At best, I can help Ryougi Shiki maintain her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

He Who Knows Fate: Here’s a joke. I—Kal’tsit—am omniscient!

Kal’tsit: …

Solomon: We’ve gone off-topic. Off-topic! Why is it that the association chat goes off-topic so easily?

Lord of the White Night: Merlin, come take the blame.

Magus of Flowers: Huh? Why should I bear the blame for every situation? I did not say anything. You can’t do this. This is persecution!

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Ahem! Ahem! Alright. Let’s talk about matters relating to the Root. Right now, I’ve left practically everything in my original world and let the world’s automatic mechanisms manage it for me. There should not be any major problems, so I only brought my consciousness and a small portion of my strength with Ryougi Shiki to this world.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Then I gave a portion of the world administration rights to Gaia and Alaya, letting them adapt to any changes. So, basically, nothing will go wrong. Furthermore, I can remotely control things if there are problems.
