BXBX NOVEL Chapter 123 - Konosuba Side Part 8.
When Kazuma witnessed the other side of the Chat Room, the situation in the grass field changed slightly. However, it was less than before as Kaguya almost finished the popcorn in her hands.
After defeating his first arc nemesis, Whitebeard didn\'t stop. He went to the other frogs, attracting the hatred of nine frogs. The sound of punches kept echoing in the surroundings, ruining the peaceful green fields.
Despite that, the battle didn\'t continue for long. Whitebeard had already finished his goal from today and even exceeded it by defeating a frog, so he was just blowing off some steam while trying to face numerous anti-physical attacks frogs.
When Kaguya was wondering if she should get another bag of popcorn, Whitebeard released a soft sigh before raising his leg and kicking in a circular motion.
The strength contained in his kick made the air turn into a fierce storm before it hit the frogs. Although the frogs are immune to physical attacks, their resistance didn\'t affect the wind at all as it carried them like leaves. It didn\'t last long before all the frogs were thrown like rages across the grass field.
Glancing at the frogs retreating after they were thrown away, Whitebeard stood alone in a small whirlpool of dust and wind, like a giant that defeated his other opponents, coupled with the sun behind him, this made him somehow more heroic.
Kaguya looked at this scene as she became more speechless. Her blank and weird expression failed to express her emotions {Why does this look cool and blood boiling? They\'re just frogs! Don\'t you dare make me feel epic from some damn frogs!!!}
Ignorant of the internal conflict of Kaguya, Whitebeard sat on the ground as he released a stream of air from his nose, blowing away all the dust. This clearly shows how strong his body, even magma can be extinguished with a breath from his mouth.
Kaguya saw this as she put the new popcorn bag in her sleeve before she said "So, did you finish or do you want to spread your wrath to all frogs?"
"Rushing things isn\'t going to do anything good, especially in training." Whitebeard answered calmly while closing his eyes and thinking about the previous fight.
The power, trajectory, and impact of his punches and kicks. All these were taken into consideration to master a way to hurt those frogs. Honestly, despite his first desire to defeat frogs easily, he has to admit that these creatures are the best punching bag for him.
Usually, and after he reached his level in his world, he didn\'t have that much feeling to continue training without a stop, after all, it was rare for others to take a direct from him. Unless they used the Devil Fruit\'s power, even a giant won\'t be able to safely take his punch.
{How long has it been? This feeling, this desire to advance and push beyond the limits} Whitebeard grinned a little while thinking in his mind.
"I see, then did you notice anything during this time?" Kaguya shook her head to clear the thoughts about the frogs. She had a feeling that she\'ll never see those Kapa in Gensokyo the same after this trip.
Whitebeard shook his head before opening his eyes a little, like a slit before he said " I used the Observation Haki to scan the area multiple times, but there wasn\'t anything out of the regular"
"There wasn\'t anything during these days for sure, however, the enemy could be lurking around" Kaguya nodded before she said " Moreover, how skilled are you in Observation Haki?"
"Hmmm… Observation Haki isn\'t my strong point, if I were to compare myself to the true masters of it, I\'ll be just in the middle-level" Whitebeard shook his head, admitting his weakness without any change in his expression.
"*Sigh* We also need to consider the fact that there might be some or even a lot of abilities that can ignore detection" Kaguya frowned, she felt this mission is annoying.
To be honest, Kaguya doesn\'t care a lot about the mission, but if Leo cleared the mission in the abyss(Type-Moon) and they didn\'t clear Konosuba\'s mission, she can clearly see the ending.
Kaguya can feel that Leo would rub this event for more than thousands of years in their faces as long as they talk about the mission\'s subject. She can\'t give him that satisfaction! She refused to give him that!!!
Kaguya was burning with her own fighting spirit, which made Whitebeard raise his eyebrow before he stood up and took his naginata from space.
Whitebeard doesn\'t have a storage type ability or even an item for that, but how to say, they had someone in the Chat Room, who actually bothered to check the whole Chat and find some interesting things.
That person was Kazuma. He didn\'t find a lot of things to do after he used all his points, so like every great neet, who got a new game and finished it, he started messing around, maybe he\'ll find a glitch or something. He didn\'t find a glitch, but he found something interesting.
In the function of sending gifts, the Chat Member had to select the item they wanted to send and put it in a small space. The small space can only contain one item, however, as long as he doesn\'t confirm send, he can keep that item there for a long time.
Inspired by his great discovery, the rest of the Chat Room members did the same, except Kaguya with her dimensional sleeve.
However, why didn\'t Kazuma find Satan to get or buy a space storage item? Well, he had all the reasons to think that the benevolent Satan would give him a bracelet with Pucci\'s face on it that can say \'Dio-sama~~\'. Just that thought was enough to send chills down Kazuma\'s spine.
As for Kaguya? She had some of those items and can even bring some from Gensokyo, but she found this funny, so she\'s waiting for the climax.
"Good spirit! I never thought you\'d actually get fired from this mission" Whitebeard said with a smile, but his thoughts were slightly wrong and Kaguya didn\'t bother to correct them.
"Although my Observation Haki isn\'t that strong, I might be able to advance it to the next stage" Whitebeard said while taking the adventurer card from his pants pocket.
"Hm? You can?" Kaguya was confused, but then, she saw Whitebeard\'s card and said " You actually used that card and got… Thief-Class, huh?"
Kaguya felt this is ironic and fitting because Whitebeard is a pirate. However, she also understood. Using the skills of detection and perception in the Thief-Class, Whitebeard\'s trip to master the Observation Haki will be much smoother than learning it normally.
"So, how long will it take?" Kaguya asked the important question as Whitebeard said " I wasn\'t far from the advance-level, so it\'ll not take me a lot"
"Oh? Then you\'ll get an ability to foresee the future? I wonder what the limit of Haki" Kaguya put her hand on her chin before she said " Will it be something like the voice of all things of Roger?"
"The voice of all things? Roger? Guahahahah!! Unfortunately, that\'s impossible, at least in the regular ways" Whitebeard laughed like he heard a very funny thing.
"Roger was a dreamer, a man who can see the stars in the bright light of the day, GUHAHAHAHA!!!" Whitebeard laughed again as his loud voice made the unconscious frog from earlier wake up before running away.
{It been a while since I heard someone mentioning his name} Whitebeard gazed at the sky before thinking {To think I\'ll be completely healthy and even travel to such places, this is very interesting if I think about it}
{With this, I might be able to say that I explored beyond you, Roger, but if I didn\'t surpass you in our world, then…} Whitebeard grinned like he could see the sea in his world before he said " What pride would I have?"
Kaguya saw Whitebeard suddenly burning with an intense fighting spirit as she softly sighed before glancing at the Chat Room. The Chat was flickering with light multiple times, which showed that the other members were chatting inside.
Taking a look, Kaguya\'s face quickly became expressionless when she saw the Xiaxia-level stuff in her face.
[NEET Princess: Oi, what are you doing?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Chilling in my mind for some time]
[NEET Princess: Next to a supermassive black hole?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Very, very chill. I didn\'t move any muscle]
[NEET Princess: Any muscle?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Yup, I even stopped some unnecessary organs, for example, my heart]
[NEET Princess:.... You know what? I don\'t care, but I want to ask something]
{Annihilation Maker(Admin): Hmmm… Oh ho? Don\'t tell me… you\'re facing problems in your mission, isn\'t it?]
Kaguya could already feel the incoming sarcasm and even see Leo\'s annoying smile, which almost made her close the Chat.
[NEET Princess: No, of course, not. How could I, the moon\'s princess, get troubled by a small mission]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Hmmm… Is that so?]
[NEET Princess: Yes, it\'s an undoubted truth]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): It seems you\'re very capable, Kaguya-san, hahahaha]
[NEET Princess: Oh, you\'re sweet, Leo-san, you\'re also very capable, fufufufufu]
Whitebeard and Saitama stared at the Chat as they felt a weird atmosphere. They could easily see Leo and Kaguya smiling, but their smile wasn\'t warm at all.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): So, what did you want to ask?]
[NEET Princess: I just wanted to ask what the signs for the \'Hook\' existence? Or if you can detect it]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): The \'Hook\'? Who told you that you had one on your side?]
[NEET Princess: What do you mean?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): As far as I know, there\'s two ways for the multiverse space to breach the world\'s barrier and the \'Hook\' is just one of them]
[NEET Princess: What is the other one?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I don\'t know!!]
[NEET Princess:.....]
Kaguya felt all her motivation was extinguished before she sighed and typed.
[NEET Princess: Then can you detect something with your Clairvoyance if I started a stream?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Well… No]
[NEET Princess: You\'re technically useless, Leo-san~]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Oh really, Kaguya-san? I wonder who is asking me now?]
Both of them started using the Japanese honorifics as the weird atmosphere appeared again.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I won\'t hide it, I\'m not in my best conditions now and even if I was, I wouldn\'t be able to detect anything. Those intruders can resist my clairvoyance]
[NEET Princess: The Abyss wasn\'t easy, huh?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Of course, it isn\'t easy!! To be honest, if it wasn\'t for the change in the scenery here, I would be blackout currently, after all, I \'slept\' for only 2 hours, 21 minutes, 41 seconds, 34 milliseconds, 2 microseconds, and 13 nanoseconds, probably. I\'ll blackout at any moment, so if you have a question, say it now]
[NEET Princess: Very specific, huh? Won\'t you come to this mission?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): No, my mind, soul, and body are all against that idea and I won\'t give any blessings to that world]
[NEET Princess: Blessings? More like curses, Mr. Satan]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Kaguya, Kaguya, everything in this world has positive and negative sides. Blessings are just curses that you didn\'t know their consequences, and, curses are just blessings that you didn\'t know their benefits]
[NEET Princess: Here a better question, why are you suddenly wise?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): A Beast\'s perk and staring at this black singularity of death might had an effect too, well, until we meet again... 3...2..1]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin) is offline]
"*Sigh* More questions" Kaguya sighed as she closed the Chat Room, but her eyes flashed.
There\'s another method to invade the worlds, a method that Leo doesn\'t know about. Kaguya is determined to know it before she\'ll rub this fact in Leo\'s face!!
Whitebeard stared at Kaguya, whose fighting spirit was ignited again, before he shook his head and walked away. For someone older than him, she\'s sure has a completely young and childish mentality.
Whitebeard went away as the golden-red sunset shone brightly on this fantasy world, leaving the one in wonder for what is going to happen.
