Souta: @Chelsea. You finally decided to show up. I was waiting so long, I nearly turned into a fossil.
Tokisaki Kurumi: @Chelsea. We need to take care of some business in your world. If you send us an invitation, we can save points instead of buying a Travel Card.
Chelsea: Wait! You're saying there really are other worlds?
Souta: You already acknowledged the system phone, didn't you? You read the announcement, right?
Chelsea: I did. But the text in the announcement is in my own language. That doesn't prove it's an "otherworldly" thing.
Tokisaki Kurumi: The system has a translation function. It automatically translates everything we say into a language you understand.
Chelsea: Even if that's true, other worlds are still a ridiculous concept. Are you sure this isn't just the Empire's latest Teigu experiment?
Souta rubbed his temples in frustration.
In Chelsea's world, strange and dangerous creatures existed. When slain, their bodies were used to craft powerful Teigu—48 kinds of specialized weapons, some capable of space manipulation.
So when encountering bizarre occurrences, Chelsea's first instinct was to suspect a Teigu experiment rather than consider the existence of parallel worlds.
Souta: The method for making new Teigu was lost ages ago. Where would a "new" one come from?
Rin Tohsaka: @Souta. I have a suggestion for convincing new members to trust the system more quickly.
Souta: Hmm? You made it home already?
Rin Tohsaka: Yeah, just got back.
Rin Tohsaka: Here's my idea—Souta, you probably have a lot of points, right? Try transferring a few to the newbie, then upload a cheap item to the store and have them buy it. If they can actually purchase something, they won't have any reason to doubt the system anymore.
Souta: Oh? That's a solid idea. We could use this method to help future new members get over their doubts quickly.
Altair: The idea is decent, but unnecessary for everyone. Points aren't free, after all. Since you specifically need Chelsea right now, it makes sense. But for others, just let time do its thing.
Tokisaki Kurumi: Altair has a point. Use this method only when there's a real need.
Souta: @Chelsea. You've checked out the marketplace function, right? What do you think?
Chelsea: Also, what's with the nickname "Cut Girl"?
(TL Note: No nicknames for now, confusing)
Souta: Just a nickname, don't mind it. So, how about Rin's suggestion? Shall we test it?
Chelsea: If you can really do that, then I won't have any choice but to believe you. I'll send the invitation after that.
Seeing her agree, Souta felt relieved.
Uploading... Instant Noodles?
Without delay, Souta used his materialization ability to create...
A bucket of instant noodles—Master Kong Spicy Beef Lo Mein Noodles with Temple Style Pickled Mustard Greens.
He uploaded it to the system store.
The system automatically priced it at 1 point, apparently the minimum possible.
Then, he transferred 1 point to Chelsea.
Sitting nearby, Kurumi watched this unfold in stunned silence.
Uploading instant noodles...?
She was honestly impressed by the sheer absurdity of it.
Souta: @Chelsea. I uploaded a type of food from my world. Use the point I sent you to buy it. If you want to eat it, just open it, add the seasoning packet, and pour in hot water. Wait a few minutes, and it's ready.
Altair: I doubt most people would trust random food appearing out of thin air. They probably won't eat it.
Souta: Eating it isn't the point. As long as the noodles materialize in her world, the system will be proven real.
Rin Tohsaka: You could've uploaded literally anything. Why instant noodles?
Souta: I was hungry and thought of instant noodles first. Just went with it.
Rin Tohsaka: Damn it, that ability of yours is too overpowered. If I had it, I'd save a fortune on buying gemstones...
Illya: @Souta. Big brother, I've never had this kind of food before. Can you upload another one?
Souta: Illya, you don't have any points, right? If you want some, ask Rin to take you to a supermarket.
Illya: Oh, right! I forgot about that. If Rin refuses, I'll have Berserker kill her.
Rin Tohsaka: Hold on! Souta, you bastard, don't push her onto me! She's got a Servant! Are you trying to get me killed?
Rin Tohsaka: You could've just sent her 1 point! Was that so hard?!
Even through text, Souta could practically hear Rin freaking out.
He smirked, starting to enjoy teasing her.
But then, he noticed something—Kurumi was watching him.
Her expression was playful, but her eyes held an amused glint, as if seeing through his antics.
"Kurumi, are you hungry?"
Kurumi shook her head and then stood up.
"I'll go buy groceries and cook for you."
"No need. I can just create food with my ability—"
"Souta, eating like that lacks soul."
Kurumi gave him a knowing look and said:
"We have an eternity ahead of us. That's why life needs a sense of ritual—otherwise, immortality would just be dull."
With that, she walked into his bedroom, took some money from his wallet, and left.
Judging by how skilled she was at it, this was definitely not the first time.
Noodle Delivery (With Accidental Fan Service)
Souta: @Illya. Forget the upload. I'll just make a few and send them directly to you.
After sending the message, Souta materialized several different flavors of instant noodles, then teleported to Illya's side, dumped the noodles on her, and instantly teleported back.
The two maids in Illya's castle didn't even have time to react.
However, the moment Souta returned to the real world, his expression suddenly stiffened with embarrassment.
He had accidentally caught a glimpse of a small, delicate body, milky-white skin as smooth as fresh cream, and—a chest so flat it couldn't even be called undeveloped...
Illya... was taking a bath.
Illya: "Huh? I think I just saw a shadow flash by."
Souta: "Must've been your imagination."
Rin Tohsaka: "Now that I think about it, I realized something. Souta, since you've received invitations from our worlds, doesn't that mean you can visit whenever you want now?"
Rin Tohsaka: "That's the problem! What if you suddenly pop in while I'm bathing or using the bathroom? That'd be way too awkward!"
Souta felt a chill run down his spine.
Rin didn't have clairvoyance or mind-reading abilities, did she...?
Souta: "I'm not that kind of guy."
Rin Tohsaka: "I know, I wasn't accusing you—I just think it's something we should be mindful of. Next time you visit, just give me a heads-up first."
Souta: "Got it. Just send me a message when you're about to shower or use the bathroom, and I'll make sure to avoid those times."
Rin Tohsaka: "Sounds good."
After sending that message, Rin suddenly froze.
Something felt... off about what she just agreed to.
Suddenly, Souta's system phone vibrated.
[Chelsea has invited you to her world. Accept?]
