BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146 - Konosuba Side Part 31.
"What the heck am I staring at?!?" Kazuma\'s face was directly in front of the Chat Screen.
He\'d actually stick his face on the Chat screen if it weren\'t for the fact that it\'s normally an untouchable thing. But you can\'t blame him because he saw a lady with bright blond hair and green eyes next to the Devil\'s helper(Novem) on the screen.
Kazuma\'s mind raced through high-speed thoughts just by staring at the red outfit and that familiar, but cursed face, which made him come to a conclusion real quickly.
{TRAITOR!! Losing brain cells, my ass!!} Kazuma regrets feeling sympathy for that asshole!!
The jerk betrayed them and received a Saber Face from Type-moon. Is this the reason he lost his brain cells?! Where can I sell my brain cells in exchange for a Saber?! WHERE?!
{No, no, hold on a second...} Kazuma paused for a split second before recalling something.
"The old hag\'s predictions were right," Kazuma exclaimed as his mind blew off.
"Mom, that big brother over there is strange" a boy on the other side of the street exclaimed, pointing to Kazuma.
"Let\'s go, sweetie, and try never to speak to people like him." The mother took her child away, when Kazuma felt those words strike him like an arrow in the knee.
"Oh my goodness, I was right." Kaguya, on the other hand, stared at the screen calmly before smiling.
"Hmph, it seems that I am the one with clairvoyance." Kaguya waved her hair before saying, "This princess\'s greatness is certainly something to behold."
Clairvoyance? Omniscient? Grand Casters? Angels? Kaguya now claims that the Moon Princess\' intelligence is superior to any of these imposters.
"Hm? What is this?" Nero, who spotted an orange slime displaying different faces, walked over and bent to see the screen clearly.
Nero focused on the screen closely and thought carefully, especially the comment section " I feel I saw this before… hmmm, OH!"
Suddenly, Nero\'s eyes sparkled before she exclaimed " Is this one of those, what were they called… live… streams, isn\'t it? It is!"
[Bri-Bri: Who are you?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: No, no, no…]
[NEET Princess: Hold on a second]
"UMU!" Rejoice and feel overjoyed!" Nero confidently stood up before placing her hand on her chest and saying, "For you will be the first witness to my first stream."
Without any delay or waiting, Nero waved her hand and said, "Currently by the performance of I, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus! You may all be mesmerized!"
Kazuma and Kaguya froze for a second, looking at the exaggerated gestures and feeling the big ego and self-affirmation right from the screen, before taking a deep breath.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Welp, *points the gun to the forehead*]
[NEET Princess: Is this the 4 or 5 star one? Rip our ears]
[Bri-Bri: I guess I need more context on this, and why does she have the same name as the Roman Emperor, who was a man... right?]
[NEET Princess: Welcome to the only good kind of history, gender-bent history]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Facts]
[Bri-Bri: Uh... Well, so how come she can see the chat room?]
[NEET Princess: Mikoto, you really don\'t get the situation?!]
[Bri-Bri: No, please, enlighten me, wait, don\'t…]
[NEET Princess: Leo pulled a 4 and a possible 5 stars in Gacha of the abyss!]
[Bri-Bri: -_-]
[NEET Princess: Fine! Leo brought a girl from another world to his own! A beautiful Roman emperor!]
[Bri-Bri: Wait, what?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Anyway, where is the asshole hiding, huh?! Come and face me like a man!]
"I\'m an angel though" Like appearing from completely nowhere, Leo walked from behind Nero slowly.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Where did you appear from?!]
"I was here, but not here, so I took a step forward, and I\'m here now" Leo held Novem in his hands before he said that contradictory explanation.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Seriously? Are you going to do that to me? An explanation that leads nowhere?]
"Yup" Leo said, nodding.
[Advocate of Gender Equality:.....]
[Bri-Bri: *Sigh* Who exactly is this Nero?]
"Oh, this is Nero, Rome\'s Fifth Emperor. The last mission\'s World\'s Will decided to torment me and maybe had other secret motivations, but here we are." Leo said, pointing to the chat "Nero, these are some of my friends, who are a bunch of rude guys I usually chat with"
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Oi!! I believe you should say that to yourself in the mirror!]
[NEET Princess: Did I enter the zone of hypocrisy?]
[Bri-Bri: Nero is female... those history books...]
"Hey, you\'ve seen gods and angels, so this isn\'t a huge deal." Misaka\'s innocent reaction made Leo shake his head.
"Umu, you are my Praetor\'s allies, but my Praetor, there is no need for these informal introductions." Nero waved her hand and exclaimed, "As my Preator, only grand entrances are needed!"
"....." Leo made an unimpressed expression.
"Also, torment? There isn\'t anything like that! My Praetor knows that we have an unbreakable bond, a bond that will keep us together no matter what! And I\'m excited to see a new world and spend time..." As Leo sighed and played with Novem in his hands, Nero began a new exaggerated speech with a bright smile.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: For whatever reason, I believe Leo died a little on the inside. How terrifying is this Red Saber... Please proceed.]
[NEET Princess: And that is exactly what happened]
[Bri-Bri: I\'m not sure how I feel about this]
[NEET Princess: Are you dying inside?]
"Oh, indeed. I learned something really important on my previous walk... jump" Leo declared to the Chat.
[NEET Princess: Well, yeah. What exactly did you do? I didn\'t see a nuke exploding in the background]
"I went to kill the whole main cast of this world only to ask it, Will, some questions," Leo said matter-of-factly.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Rest in Peace?]
[NEET Princess: Did you kill the devils?]
"No, it ended peacefully, which seemed very strange... I\'m used to blowing stuff up." Everybody thought they saw a ghost in the form of Killer Queen emerge behind Leo for a split second.
[NEET Princess: That\'s shocking, but it seems you didn\'t even engage with the people in your world]
"What exactly do you mean? I talk with people every day, even though it is just for a short time." Leo shook his head, perplexed.
"Um? What are you talking about?" Nero asked, tilting her head and looking at the messages blinking on the phone.
"About something like the people we fought against in the Holy Grail War" Leo described as casually and clearly as he could.
"Umu, umu, is there a new war on the horizon? You can depend on me!" Nero was excited, but Leo simply shook his head.
[NEET Princess: You know what I mean, and Ritsuka hasn\'t logged in in a while]
[Bri-Bri: Is she all right?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: We can\'t know for now, but what exactly are these people from Leo\'s world?]
[NEET Princess: *some pictures about DXD*]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Hmmmm, I think we need to talk about this more in-depth.]
"Well, no, I don\'t care for them, save for one person, they can all live or die for all I care." With a shake of his head, Leo said "While I may like to try an experiment, I\'m not free at all right now."
[NEET Princess: Wow, I see. What did you discover after blackmailing your World\'s Will?]
"Not a lot, after all... my World\'s Will is useless." With a blank expression, Leo said.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: How much?]
" \'She\' failed the explanation NPC role" With only those words, Kazuma closed his eyes in pain.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: That\'s tough, buddy]
"I know, but do you want me to say it here? Now? In this location?" While shrugging, Leo\'s face became slightly serious.
[NEET Princess: I see, we\'ll discuss it later]
[Bri-Bri: What exactly do you mean? Is it something important... oh]
[NEET Princess: sure, let\'s chat later; we still have a lot to do]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Indeed, I still have pigeons to kill. And you jerk, this isn\'t over!!]
"Umu, my Praetor, you have interesting allies." Nero grinned positively, as she normally did.
Leo had no idea how she could see this Chat Room, to be honest, he didn\'t know the clear pattern and rules of this chat room appearance. Maybe because she came from it?
"Yeah, maybe" Leo waved his hand casually before he said " I\'m going to study something. If you want to keep… \'singing\'… you can do whatever you want, why am I asking this?"
Leo shook his head, but he blinked when he saw Nero smiling at him like she became happy suddenly.
"I just heard of a fantastic idea during this time! My gut as an omnipotent genius tells me it would work well, so I\'m going to do it!" Nero proclaimed, raising her hand.
"Oh, I see, and?" Leo gave a nod.
"No! This is a pleasant surprise! Just wait before my brilliance fully astounds you!" Nero said as she walked away to carry out her plan.
"Don\'t you want something? This is a modern human society, you know," Leo asked casually, not expecting Nero to change her mind, but Nero unexpectedly turned and grinned, "Umu! I\'m overjoyed that my Praetor is concerned about me, but I\'m the Olympian flower, so prepare to be mesmerized!"
With those sentences, Leo watched Nero take swift steps away. Leo didn\'t want to analyze their whole existence with his brain and eyes because he respected the privacy of those around him, so he didn\'t know precisely what Nero meant, even though he had a general understanding.
However, his expression did not alter much because he is well aware of one crucial fact: "This isn\'t going to end well.... Isn\'t it?"
{You think?} Ddraig began to suspect that this guy had a habit of jinxing himself.
"I\'m shutting my clairvoyance on this; I don\'t want to see or get involved." Leo\'s glasses shone with fine lines, like circuits, before returning to normal.
"Anyway, I\'m still really busy." Leo reduced the size of the chat screen and triggered the following function once more.
Twitching his hand, a milky white tiny glass marble appeared on his palm in an instant. It shone like a galaxy packed with the light on the inside, which was mainly made up of special effects. But, given what it was, Leo didn\'t think it was weird to have this appearance; after all, this was the \'memory\' of a World\'s Will.
