Volume 2 Chapter 55 The Arrival of The World Ranker
──────────────────
: Omega-sama, nice to meet you. I am Sophia Knightley.
: I am Yóu Linhua.
──────────────────
Wait, what? Who are these people?
Just as I was processing the fact that Sakurako-tan had shown up in my comments section, two completely new names popped up.
"Uh... um, and you are...?"
While I was still trying to wrap my head around it—
"S-Sophia Knightley-sama!?"
"Y-Yóu Linhua-sama!?"
Ochi-san and Oikawa-san had turned pale, looking like they just saw ghosts.
Apparently, some real heavy hitters just entered the chat.
Then—
──────────────────
: Uooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
: Sophia Knightley-sama and Yóu Linhua-sama have ARRIVED!!!!
: The arrival of the two deities!!!!
: Seeker world ranker... AND the No. 2 'King' of the Big Four AND the No. 6 leader of the 'Numbers'!!!!
: Huh?! HUH?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!
: WHAT IS GOING ON?!
: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... We need a commemorative screenshot!!!
: Forget that! It's a FESTIVAL, A FESTIVAL!!!!
: HYAHHAA!!!
: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
: ↑ Random meme drop LOL
: Cheeky LOL
⋯⋯
⋯⋯

⋯⋯
──────────────────
The chat had been eerily quiet just moments ago, but now it was a complete riot.
Seeker world ranker? Big Four? No. 6 in the Numbers?!
Why the hell are such insane players showing up in MY stream?!
──────────────────
: Excuse me, Omega-sama. Please wait a moment... Elena?
: Ah, Sophia-sama! What's up?!
: Calm down, Elena.
: Huh?
: Stay.
: Ah... yes (gulp)
──────────────────
?
Elena, who had been all fired up just now, suddenly deflated like a popped balloon.
She even typed out "shun" in the comments herself.
The tide has turned.
──────────────────
: Where are you now?
: I'm at a hotel near the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild in Japan...
: I see. We are in the guild room of the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild with Sakurako-sama. Come here immediately.
: ...Eh? Why?
: So Sakurako can apologize in person.
: W-wait, that's...
: You seem to be misunderstanding something. This needs to be settled face-to-face. So hurry up.
: Elena. This is an 'order' from Sophia-sama, right?
: Then Elena... waiting.
: Hiee
──────────────────
Oof.
Sophia Knightley-san is absolutely furious.
Also, Ele-nyan ended with a "hiee."
She's legit terrified.
Wait, so these two are with Sakurako-tan in the Shinjuku Gyoen Guild right now?
Also... didn't the chat get completely derailed a while ago?
I glanced away from my D-Vision for a second and realized—Ochi-san and Oikawa-san, who had been right beside me, were gone.
Huh? Where'd they—?
Just as I turned my head, I spotted Prototype No. 100 Modified, curled up on the ground, muttering, "Kill me, kill me..." over and over again.
It was right when I was about to land the finishing blow.
"Omega... sorry. We took care of Prototype No. 100 Modified while you were talking on the D-Vision. We didn't know when he'd counterattack."
"I apologize for stabbing him without permission..."
"Oh, I see. No problem. Thanks."
To be honest, even if he'd counterattacked, it wouldn't have been an issue.
Anyway, it seems these two handled him effortlessly.
* * *
"Huh? You two were working together?"
After stopping Prototype No. 100 Modified, they seemed worried about their friend, so I filled them in on everything that had happened so far—including how I helped them.
Then—
"Then... then, Rinna... Rinna's alive?!"
"Omega-sama! Thank you so much! Seriously, thank you... I'm grateful..."
They must be talking about that little girl, Rinna-chan, the one who lost her arm.
Tears of joy streamed down their faces when they heard she was safe.
"Then, is Rinna at the hospital now...?"
"Hm? No, no. I think she's on her way here with my clan members."
"Wait. Here?"
"Hm? Why are you so surprised?"
They exchanged glances before hesitantly speaking.
"No, because... Rinna's arm was cut off, so... even if she survived, there's no way she could come here..."
"Y-Yeah! She lost a ton of blood. Even if she was saved, she shouldn't be able to return to the battlefield so soon..."
"Hahaha, don't worry about it. I used an Elixir on Rinna-chan."
"......Eh?"
"......Huh?"
Takeru said it so casually, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Meanwhile, Ochi-san and Oikawa-san stood frozen in shock.
Then—
"Ah, there!"
"There you are, Tomochi!"
"Leader, Yurihimeee!!!!"
A voice rang out from behind.
The moment they heard it—
"Ah! That voice...!"
"Tomochi! And Rinne, and—Rinnaaaaa!!!!"
Ochi-san and Oikawa-san sprinted toward the sound.
At the same time—
"Finally caught up to youuuu!!!!"
"Omega-san, you're too fast for uuuus!!!!"
The Valkyries had arrived.
And then—
"Oi, just a bit (waiiiit)!"
Huh?
What the hell does that mean?
Ah.
It was Just a Bit-san.
