Chat Group: In the World of Eminence in Shadow, Just Defeated Shadow

Chapter Thirty-Five: Esdeath (Requesting Subscription)

“I see, people from different worlds?”

In the midst of wind and snow, Esdeath, who was leading a large army to suppress the barbarians, smiled: “Interesting!”

“Call me Queen: That means you’re strong, right? I’m looking forward to fighting with you.”

Adolf K. Wiesmann: “????”

“Why does it sound like the new member is a battle maniac?”

Misaka Mikoto: “But if we’re going to fight, I’m not afraid of you!”

Kurumi Tokisaki: “Hey, hey, wasn’t it someone who cried in fear last time because of Bai Luo’s combat traces?”

Misaka Mikoto: “You were the one who cried! I didn’t cry at all!!!”

Looking at the two women bickering in the chat group, Qian Renxue frowned slightly. She had already read Bai Luo’s announcement and understood what this Chat Group meant.

Master Abe: “Excuse me, are you immortals?”

In the world of Cook Ding’s Crisis, at Juxialou in Sichuan, Chen Bangling, known as the Fairy Bei, was staring blankly at the chat window that appeared in her consciousness.

Bai Luo: “We’re all ordinary people, just from different worlds.”

“Ordinary people?”

Misaka Mikoto: “Redefining ordinary people! Is Boss Bai serious?”

Kurumi Tokisaki: “Ordinary people who can manually explode stars.”

Adolf K. Wiesmann: “Compared to Old Bai, we are indeed just ordinary people.”

Tanjiro: “I am the weakest in this group.”

Chen Bangling didn’t fully understand their meaning, but judging from the context, they were probably teasing the group member named Bai Luo.

A platform to communicate with people from other worlds?

And according to what was said, if others agree, one can travel to the world of a fellow group member.

Traversing worlds, if it could really be done, would make one no different from a deity, wouldn’t it?

Regardless of whether it’s true or false, Qian Renxue did not plan to immediately reveal her true thoughts. She decided to first play along with the group members.

Of course, the most important thing was still the strange power of this Chat Group.

Being able to silently invade her mind, the strength of the other side was absolutely something she couldn’t handle at her current level.

Mommy Loves Me Again: “Hello everyone, my name is Xue Qinghe, and I am the Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire.”

“Huh?”

The others didn’t seem to have any particular reaction, but Bai Luo felt an odd sense of dissonance: Xue Qinghe, your group nickname is Mommy Loves Me Again; are you joking with me?

Xue Qinghe, Bai Luo might not have remembered immediately if mentioned alone.

But paired with “Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire,” Bai Luo instantly realized: Good grief, you’ve even disguised yourself as a man in the chat group!

Bai Luo also chose not to directly expose Qian Renxue’s disguise.

After all, having arrived at a strange place, wanting to hide information was understandable.

“Should we introduce ourselves?”

Call me Queen: “My name is Esdeath, I am the general of the empire, and I am currently leading the army to the north to subdue the barbarians.”

After sending this message, Esdeath changed her group nickname to her real name.

Misaka Mikoto: “So you’re actually a general of a country?”

Tanjiro: “That’s amazing!”

Kurumi Tokisaki: “Indeed, no wonder the Chat Group calls you queen.”

…

Watching everyone in the group praise Esdeath, Qian Renxue inexplicably felt somewhat annoyed.

I mean, generals and whatnot, isn’t she the Crown Prince?

Between empires, shouldn’t the Crown Prince rank higher than a general?

Xue Qinghe: “Miss Esdeath is truly a heroine among women, proving that women can surpass men.”

There was nothing to be done; though annoyed, years of playing the role of Xue Qinghe made Qian Renxue instinctively act as him even in the chat group.

“Pfft!”

Thus, Bai Luo laughed: “Hahaha (holding his stomach laughing.jpg).”

“What’s going on? Old Bai?”

“What’s wrong, Brother Bai?”

Adolf K. Wiesmann and Tanjiro were confused by Bai Luo’s laughter.

Kurumi Tokisaki: “Are you saying you know something about these two?”

Out of the original five members of the group, four came from works Bai Luo had seen. Could he possibly know about the newly added two as well?

“I do know.”

Bai Luo thought for a moment and said, “However, let the last newcomer finish introducing themselves first.”

Master Abe: “My name is Chen Bangling, and I am the head chef at Juxialou, a state-owned restaurant in Sichuan Province.”

“A chef?”

“The gap feels so big.”

“Indeed, before it was either a Crown Prince or a Grand General, and now suddenly there’s a chef…”

Seeing the reactions of the group members, Master Abe didn’t feel offended at all. Instead, she calmly admitted: “How dare I compare myself to the two of you. Aside from being confident in my culinary skills, I don’t have much else to boast about.”

“Don’t underestimate Chef Abe.”

Bai Luo had basically confirmed Chef Abe’s identity.

He grew up watching the food anime “Cook Ding’s Crisis” and vividly remembered its glowing dishes.

Chef Abe, as the mother of the protagonist Liu Ao Xing, had undoubtedly top-notch culinary skills.

In a certain sense, compared to Esdeath and Qian Renxue, Bai Luo actually valued Chef Abe’s culinary skills more.

“Do you know me?”

Chef Abe was puzzled. She saw the announcement posted, which said everyone came from different worlds.

The concept of different worlds wasn’t incomprehensible to Chef Abe. China itself has the notion of realms beyond the sky, and Bai Luo and the others were from such places. This was not much different from what she initially thought of as deities.

Misaka Mikoto: “Here he comes! He comes with the works he has watched!”

Kurumi Tokisaki: “So what is it this time? Light novels, or manga?”

“Manga and anime.”

Bai Luo said: “Chef Abe comes from a food-themed anime called ‘Cook Ding’s Crisis’ that I watched when I was young. She is the mother of the main character of this work.”

“What?”

Esdeath didn’t understand what they were talking about.

Not until Adolf K. Wiesmann kindly explained the concept of receiving information from different worlds to the newcomers did she finally understand.

Could the content of each book possibly represent a world?

Qian Renxue didn’t believe this claim.

However, seeing the group members swear earnestly and trust Bai Luo, she became uncertain again.

“Oh? Interesting.”

Esdeath: “Then tell me, will I encounter powerful warriors in the future?”

“Well… “

Bai Luo didn’t directly upload the anime of Akame ga Kill.

Light novels were fine; Bai Luo could summarize them and send them over.

But pictures and animations put Bai Luo in a difficult position.

Perhaps in the future, if he gained some ability to recall all memories, things might change.

Now?

Bai Luo indicated he was powerless to do so.

“Esdeath, you come from a manga I’ve read called ‘Akame ga Kill,’ where you are the final boss.”

“Final boss?”

Misaka Mikoto: “So Miss Esdeath is the antagonist?”

Kurumi Tokisaki: “According to Bai Luo’s statement, I seem to be an antagonist too.”

Bai Luo: “If opposing the protagonist makes one an antagonist, then I, who just defeated the original protagonist, am also considered an antagonist.”

“But I don’t think it’s necessary to think that way.”

“After all, protagonists are just perspectives.”

Bai Luo continued: “Like us, since we’ve joined the Chat Group, we are the protagonists of our own worlds.”

In Bai Luo’s view, as long as the group members aren’t excessively evil, causing discomfort, or disliked by the majority of the group, there’s nothing major to worry about.

Esdeath: “I don’t dislike your point of view.”

Whether hero or villain, Esdeath didn’t care. As long as she could enjoy the thrill of battle, she didn’t mind her position.

“In fact, Miss Esdeath has always been popular in my original world.”

While speaking, Bai Luo sent out the worldview of “Akame ga Kill” and some of Esdeath’s deeds that he had organized to the chat group.

Everyone skimmed through the contents briefly.

After reading, the group members had a basic understanding of Esdeath.

Of course, more detailed animation and manga plots required time to watch, and they didn’t have that luxury right now.

Uploading memories in the Chat Group happens instantaneously.

However, the reception of information varies based on the individual’s mental capacity.

For example, Misaka Mikoto, whose brain development is relatively advanced among Ability Users, receives information faster than Tanjiro.
