Multiversal Friendship System

Chapter 47: 047 Finally… I Can Claim My Reward



Although the system didn't answer—

Souta guessed that due to the time discrepancy between worlds, nearly three months must have passed in the real world.

Which was why the third invitation had been sent out.

At this realization—

Souta suddenly felt a deep, suffocating pain in his chest.

The one-year rent he had paid upfront…

He had just lost three months of it for nothing?!

He didn't even care about checking who the newcomer was anymore—

He was in too much emotional distress.

But then—

Wait a second. Why am I even worrying about this?

With Matter Creation, couldn't he just—

…Uh, let's not finish that thought.

More importantly—

I can create valuable items and sell them.

Money won't be a problem at all!

Even without Matter Creation, just being a vampire meant that—

His saliva and blood had healing properties.

Without exaggeration—

If a person stabbed multiple times were to appear in front of Souta right now—

All he'd need to do is spit a few times on their wounds—

And they'd be healed.

This trait wasn't considered a weakness—

So even though his body was currently evolving, it should still remain intact.

Once he returned to the real world—

If he could find a proper method—

He could literally get rich just by selling his saliva.

At that thought—

Souta's heart suddenly didn't ache as much anymore.

While Souta was busy thinking about how to earn enough money to buy a house after going back—

The evolution of his undying body was reaching its final stages.

As the golden light particles slowly faded—

Souta felt a wave of pleasure surge through his body—

And unconsciously let out a soft sigh.

He lifted his hands, inspecting them—

And murmured under his breath:

"Did I… successfully evolve?"

Since it was nighttime, he couldn't verify it with sunlight—

But thankfully, he had prepared something else in advance.

Souta reached into his jacket pocket—

But this time, he didn't pull out his system phone—

Instead—

He pulled out three peeled garlic cloves drizzled with olive oil tender and caramelized.

For vampires in this world—

Garlic and poison were both considered weaknesses.

Of course, poison was also deadly to normal humans—

But for vampires, the effects were far more severe—

Second only to exposure to sunlight.

Without hesitation—

Souta popped all three garlic cloves into his mouth—

And began chewing slowly.

Even if something went wrong, it wasn't a big deal—

With his immortality, a few cloves of garlic couldn't do anything to him.

Soon enough—

The garlic started taking effect.

Souta felt a burning sensation on his tongue—

But aside from the spiciness—

There were no other side effects.

"Looks like all negative traits really have been removed."

Souta let out a relieved sigh.

Then—

He clenched his right fist—

And suddenly punched forward.

With an explosive burst—

Four to five tons of force erupted from his fist.

A loud "PAH!" echoed in the air—

As a shockwave rippled outward—

Even ruffling his bangs.

"My strength is still intact!"

Souta's face lit up with excitement.

It seemed like he had become a being that possessed all of a vampire's strengths—

Without suffering from any of its weaknesses.

"Let's test my immortality next."

Activating his Quirk, "Half-Cold Half-Hot"—

Souta froze the moisture in the air—

Creating a sharp ice blade in his hand.

Then, without hesitation—

He dragged the blade across his left wrist—

Watching as crimson blood oozed out, dripping onto the ground.

But then—

Something unexpected happened.

Souta suddenly had a strange realization—

He could control whether the spilled blood would reabsorb into his body.

As if—

His blood had gained its own consciousness.

"The ability to restructure my cells… it's no longer passive—it's something I can actively control?"

"And if I fall asleep, it'll be controlled by my subconscious?"

Realizing this—

Souta felt an unexpected sense of relief.

The immortality from Baccano! had always functioned like a "parasitic entity" residing in his body.

Although it had never caused any issues so far—

Souta always felt there could be hidden risks.

But now—

With his body having evolved—

It seemed like that "parasitic entity" had been erased.

Instead—

His own consciousness was now in full control of his flesh and blood.

Whether he regenerated or discarded parts of himself—

Everything was now his choice.

This not only eliminated potential hidden dangers—

But also prevented some very awkward situations.

What kind of awkward situations?

Well—

Imagine this:

If his body automatically regenerated every time—

Then whenever he was, uh… "engaging in certain adult activities"—

The moment he… "released"—

His own fluids would immediately get reabsorbed.

FUCK.

That scene alone was beyond humiliating.

Thankfully—

With this new evolution—

Such an embarrassing problem was now completely gone.

Souta let out a sigh of relief—

For the sake of his "future happiness."

Damn, I sure have been sighing a lot today.

While Souta and Kiss-Shot were undergoing their respective evolutions—

A notification popped up in their friend group chat.

This group was dead quiet most of the time—

Mainly because time flows differently in each world—

Which led to frequent periods of inactivity.

Of course—

The fact that there were only a few members in the group also played a role.

But this time—

The one who spoke was the newest member.

Shirotsumekusa :

"Is anyone in this group?"

Not long after—

Kurumi popped up—

And started chatting with the newcomer.

Tokisaki Kurumi:

"Another new member already?"

Shirotsumekusa :

"Who are you? And what's the deal with this phone? Why does it come back even after I throw it away?"

Tokisaki Kurumi: "@Shirotsumekusa . There's an announcement I posted in the group. Take a look at it—it contains some information about the Multiversal Friendship System."

After this message popped up, the group chat fell silent again.

The newbie probably followed the suggestion and went to check the announcement.

Tokisaki Kurumi: "@Souta. There's a new member. See if you recognize them."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "@Souta. By the way, have you resolved the issue with your body's defects?"

Kurumi tagged Souta twice in a row, but he didn't respond.

This made Kurumi, who was far away in the Date A Live world, stare at her phone with a slight frown, lost in thought.

Could Souta and that woman named Kiss-Shot be… doing something lewd right now?

After all, they were living together and had that master-servant familiar bond.

A lonely man and a lonely woman spending time together—sparks were bound to fly!

Just as Kurumi was letting her imagination run wild, the new member spoke again.

Shirotsumekusa : "So this Multiverse Social System works like that. I understand now."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Oh my? You're quick to accept it. The last newcomer took a long time to believe and even thought we were scammers."

Shirotsumekusa : "Existence itself is proof of reason. Besides, I initially attempted to destroy this phone, yet with all my strength, I couldn't even scratch it. That was highly irrational, so I chose to accept the system's existence—since it's the only logical explanation."

Souta: "Solid reasoning, very convincing."
