Volume 2 Chapter 56 Convergence - It Became a Chaos (I)
"Phew. Finally caught up to Omega."
"Just a bit-san!"
With that, everyone was finally here. We, the 'Overshadowed Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad,' took turns explaining the chaos we had just been through.
"W-Wow... Rinna's arm is completely healed..."
"Yeah. Omega-sama fixed it. So noble... So benevolent..."
"Unbelievable! Rinna, you do realize Omega used a legendary elixir on you without even hesitating?! That's, like, insane!"
"Not just her. Omega-sama even used an elixir on me and Ochi-kun."
"Omega... who is he?"
And thus, the 'Overshadowed Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad' descended into hushed awe over Omega's ridiculous generosity with high-tier healing items. Meanwhile, Takeru and the others...
"Whoa! A self-healing Talking Monster? Never heard of that before!"
"Omega-sama! All of us—except Carlos-san—leveled up by one after fighting monsters on the way here!"
"Carlos-san's skill set is straight-up ridiculous, huh?"
"Yeah... He was out there soloing monsters like he was mowing the lawn."
The group buzzed with excitement about the 'Valkyries' leveling up and 'Just a bit Strong' proving himself to be a true 'Skill Maniac' in battle.
Then, Takeru, now fully intrigued by Carlos Strong's skills, turned to him.
"Wait, for real? Man, I wish I could've seen 'Just a bit-san' in action!"
"Haha, don't worry. From now on, I'll be leading the charge. You'll see plenty."
"Seriously?! That's awesome! Looking forward to it!"
The atmosphere turned lighthearted as the group casually chatted—until:
"C-Carlos Strong-san!"
"Huh?"
Ochi suddenly stepped forward, looking oddly nervous as he greeted Carlos.
"Ahem! I-I'm Ochi Daisuke, leader of the 'Deserted Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad' clan!"
Carlos nodded, smiling. "Hey, nice work out there. You guys held your ground against that Talking Monster until Omega arrived. Pretty impressive."
"It—it was nothing... That thing was way out of our league. Even if all of us fought together, we wouldn't have stood a chance. Honestly, if Omega hadn't shown up, we'd be dead."
Ochi's voice held genuine regret. Carlos, nodding in understanding, responded,
"Yeah, that Talking Monster was a tough opponent, even for you guys."
"Wait, wait—you know who we are?!"
"Of course. The Ryukyu Dungeon was deserted too, so I figured you'd be around sooner or later. You guys are famous, after all."
"Y-You knew about us?! That's awesome-ssu! Handshake, okay-ssu?!"
"Sure, why not?"
Ochi, beaming with excitement, eagerly shook Carlos's hand.
Watching this, Takeru murmured,
"Man, Just a bit-san is something else..."
Carlos grinned smugly. "Fufu... Omega, I am kinda famous too, y'know?"
As this exchange continued—
"S-Sorry, Omega-sama!"
Oikawa—aka Yurihime—rushed over, looking panicked.
"Sakurako-sama and Sophia-sama are blowing up the D-Vision comments! They're demanding a response! Please, handle it before things get out of hand!"
"Hah...? Ah, right, right..."
Takeru turned his D-Vision back on.

: Hey, Omega! What the hell was that before the stream started?! What were you even doing when you weren't live?! Explain yourself!!
: AAAAAA! IT'S THE REAL OMEGA-SAMA!! I AM SEEKER SOPHIA KNIGHTLEY──! EVEN THROUGH A SCREEN, I AM HONORED TO MEET YOU──!!!
: Sophia-sama! THE FLOOR IS COLLAPSING!! PLEASE CALM DOWN!!!

As Oikawa had warned, Sakurako-tan's comment came in like a verbal missile.
Meanwhile, Sophia Knightley—one of the world's top Seekers—was apparently too excited, judging by the sheer force of her fan energy.
