Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? - Book 6: Chapter 40:1: Rebellious Disciple, Meet Your Fate! Part 1

“Prepare yourself, Little Heng. Experience this fist technique properly!” Fu Hua lunged at Chen Heng.

“Ki Impact!”

I’m going to beat this rebellious disciple to death today!

An hour later…

“All right, Little Heng. Our martial arts lesson for today is over. You can continue with your sword practice. Practicing your sword every morning is a great habit. I hope you keep it up. I’ll go prepare breakfast for everyone,” Fu Hua said. Then she left the basement, her face flushed, with a drained Chen Heng sprawled on the grass.

Chen Heng lay on the grass for a while before sitting up.

Although Fu Hua had pummeled him for an hour, he hadn’t suffered any serious injuries. Still, martial artists truly knew the human body well. While he didn’t sustain lasting harm, he felt the sting all over.

After resting for a bit, Chen Heng retrieved his sword from his spatial storage when the pain had receded somewhat.

Despite getting a beating from his master, he still needed to practice.

——

“This kind of thing isn’t considered using her position for personal revenge. A master is expected to train her disciple. Getting beaten up by the master for being disrespectful is only natural. However, I did not expect Heng`er to…50,000 years old. That’s even older than me.”

After Chen Xiu listened to the world consciousness’s report, he sat there and started thinking.

——

“Shiki! Shiki, are you okay?” Chen Heng gasped upon seeing Ryougi Shiki, who seemed to exude an ethereal aura as she sat next to the dining table.

The dark circles under her eyes are alarming. Did she stay up all night? Furthermore, she nearly crashed into the table while nodding off!

“Oh! It’s Elder Brother.”

“Master, what’s up with Shiki?” Chen Heng asked out of concern, turning to Fu Hua sitting beside Ryougi Shiki.

“She’s fine. She simply stayed up too late last night.”

“Yeah, I pulled an all-nighter, bingeing an anime series. I’m so sleepy.” Ryougi Shiki yawned midway through her explanation.

“Why not get more sleep instead of forcing yourself to have breakfast?”

“Erm…isn’t breakfast mandatory?”

“It’s not.”

“I…I can’t keep my eyes open any longer,” Ryougi Shiki muttered as she succumbed to sleep. Quick to react, Chen Heng used his attraction ability to cushion her fall, preventing her from slamming her head on the table.

“Master, I’ll take her upstairs,” Chen Heng said, levitating Ryougi Shiki and her wheelchair.

“Alright. Go on, then,” Fu Hua responded, surprised that Ryougi Shiki thought breakfast was obligatory. This was definitely not something she thought. It looked like the common sense that Ryougi Shiki retained was not that reliable.

“Oh, by the way, Master, don’t steal from my portion.”

“…” After Fu Hua heard what Chen Heng said, she shifted her gaze to the breakfast she prepared for him.

Wasabi was great for stimulating saliva and gastric juices, improving one’s appetite. It also warmed the body and kick-started the digestive process, so…

——

Chen Heng received a plea for help from Satou Kazuma in the Dimension Administrators Association just after taking a bite of breakfast.

Kazuma the Brute: Big Brother Chen Heng! Big Brother Chen Heng, help me out!

He Who Knows Fate: Huh? What’s up?

Kazuma the Brute: It’s the Destroyer, the mobile fortress! The giant spider-like robot.

[TL Note: Here is more information about the Destroyer in KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!: https://konosuba.fandom.com/wiki/Destroyer.]

He Who Knows Fate: I think I know it. It’s the one with the Coronatite core that can explode, right? Didn’t that get you accused of treason once?

[TL Note: Here is more information about Coronatite: https://konosuba.fandom.com/wiki/Coronatite.]

Kazuma the Brute: Right! Right! That’s the one!

He Who Knows Fate: So? What’s up with it?

Kazuma the Brute: Big Brother Chen Heng, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is on the move! I need help. Can you blow it up or something? Just make sure that Coronatite doesn’t explode near that lord’s mansion.

He Who Knows Fate: Why didn’t you take care of it earlier? You knew it was headed for the newbie village, right? Why didn’t you make that robot explode in advance? Surely, you could have prepared something?

[TL Note: The newbie village is known as Axel. Here is more information about it: https://konosuba.fandom.com/wiki/Axel.]

Kazuma the Brute: I…forgot. It only hit me when the Adventurer’s Guild gathered everyone and made the announcement. Plus, the anime never specified when it would arrive! How would I know it would arrive so quickly?

He Who Knows Fate: Erm…

Kazuma the Brute: Perhaps Big Brother can ping everyone? Who’s the best for the job?

Efreet: Obviously, your man Chen Heng is the best bet! Yakumo Yukari might also work. She could simply use a Gap to move the Coronatite somewhere else. However, she’s currently busy teaching Merlin a lesson.

Iron Fist Teacher: Chen Heng is the other one with spatial abilities. Honestly, if anyone can help you, it’s him. I’m not sure about the others; even if they could, it would definitely cause a large commotion.

Lord of the White Night: If you don’t mind me going to your world, I can do the job. I’m interested in that Coronatite. Ah! No. I’m currently trapped in a trap set by the polka-dot loli demon lord using the Black Death. I can’t help you. Sorry!

Queen of Ice and Snow: Did you trap yourself on purpose?

Lord of the White Night: Yes, how else would I test those problem children?

He Who Knows Fate: What about Saitama?

One Punch Baldy: Well, there’s a big supermarket sale soon, so…

Kazuma the Brute: Big Brother Chen Heng, help me out! I don’t want to go to jail for treason. What if the Coronatite doesn’t end up on that lord’s roof but somewhere more important, like the palace? I’d be done for!

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Do you need me? I can handle anything alive. Even gods.

Kazuma the Brute: …But this thing is not a living being.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Doesn’t matter.

Kal’tsit: All other things aside, getting Root to act might be quite reliable. After all, Root (Ryougi Shiki version) has the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Just give the Coronatite one cut, and problem solved.

Kazuma the Brute: But can you be sure it won’t explode immediately after being cut? Furthermore, does Root’s Mystic Eyes of Death Perception from the Type-Moon universe work here? In any case, Root having the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in the Type-Moon worlds is simply a cheat in the first place.

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Actually, I can’t help you even if I want to. A world consciousness cannot carelessly act in a world not belonging to it.

Kazuma the Brute: Then why even bring it up?

Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: Just lightening the mood!

He Who Knows Fate: So, it looks like it’s still up to me.

He Who Knows Fate: Let me get this straight first: you’re covering the travel expenses.

Kazuma the Brute: Don’t worry. I’ll pay. Please hurry, Big Brother Chen Heng!

He Who Knows Fate: OK.
