Capter 162: The Cautious Hero
"Kenji, are you saying... our mother is in this house?"
Toriko and Starjun had been called over by Kenji. Hearing that their mother was here, both of them were at a loss. Wasn’t their mother already dead? Could Kenji have resurrected her? Did he have that kind of ability?
"Yes. She’s sleeping now and will wake up after a while," Kenji nodded. "I called you over to stand guard. When she wakes up, you can meet her."
Toriko and Starjun looked at each other and nodded.
"Alright, leave it to us. But we probably won’t be able to help with anything else after this," Toriko said.
"It’s fine. It’s not like you can cook, Toriko, and we have enough chefs. Just leave the gathering of materials for the Golden Cookware to us. No problem," Kenji said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two of them sat down on the ground, reassured. During the wait, the two brothers planned to have a good, long chat.
Kenji and Atashino left them alone and departed.
[The Cautious Hero has joined the chat group]
[Shadowkhan Queen has joined the chat group]
[Little Monster has joined the chat group]
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome ♪"
[The Champion]: "Welcome to the family, new members. If there’s anything you need, we can all do our humble best to help."
[Gudako]: "Welcome! Newbies, post your photos, quick!"
[Galactic Baseballer]: "If the new kid is a boy, you can post a picture in a dress."
[Crash-Test Pilot]: "Little Monster?"
Ever since getting the Space Needle, most of the monsters that died at Daigo’s hands were either de-horned or dismembered. Tiga was now jokingly called the "Director of the Earth Meat Processing Plant."
[Earth Wrecker]: "A monster can join the chat group?"
[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "No need to be so surprised. Not all monsters are bad. Some are kind monsters that don’t destroy anything."
The Warriors of Light didn’t just kill every monster they saw; they only killed the ones that threatened civilization.
[The Destroyer]: "Is Daigo addicted to killing monsters?"
[Star Forger]: "This ’Little Monster’ isn’t a real monster."
Kenji began to analyze the three new members who had joined the chat group.
The Cautious Hero, Seiya Ryuuguuin. The protagonist of the Cautious Hero world. A hero with very high base stats, but with a pathological level of caution. For example, he would use two skills to overkill a slime he could have killed with a single normal attack, hitting it who knows how many times just to be sure. One set of armor or one bundle of herbs was not enough; he had to have multiple... Of course, this caution was related to the events of his past life, where he had watched his partner and their unborn child die tragically at the hands of the Demon Lord. Not only was this hero so cautious, but the Demon Lord of that world was also abnormally cautious. It was rare to see a Demon Lord who spawn-camped the hero’s revival point, but that world had one.
Shadowkhan Queen, Jade Chan. The female protagonist of the Jackie Chan Adventures world. A quirky and mischievous little girl, but one who played a pivotal role in the plot. The saying went: In good times, rely on Jackie; in bad times, rely on Uncle; in desperate times, rely on Jade. Although she often got into trouble, she always managed to help Jackie in meaningful ways. The title "Shadowkhan Queen" came from the time she accidentally branded an Oni Mask tattoo onto her leg, which allowed her to summon the soldiers of the Shadowkhan. The Shadowkhan summoned by Shendu were taken out one by one by Jackie’s kicks. The Shadowkhan summoned by Jade, the Shadowkhan Queen, completely reversed the situation, taking out Jackie one kick at a time. That was the difference.
Little Monster, Uesugi Erii. The head of the Uesugi family, a character with high popularity but a tragic story. She had no freedom and her actions were controlled. As a product of genetic modification, Erii was treated as a weapon. Because she didn’t want to hurt others, she basically never spoke. After being silent for so long, those who didn’t know her mistook her for a mute. She was clearly a simple, gentle girl with a natural-ness, but her final death—being drained of all her blood—was a truly regrettable ending that made one curse the cruelty of fate.
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "Whoa! This nickname is so cool!"
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "Hello everyone! Newbie reporting for duty! My name is Jade Chan, but you can just call me Jade."
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "What a lively girl. My name is Elysia."
[The Champion]: "My name is Cynthia. I’m a very ordinary Pokémon Trainer."
The first to speak was Jade, which was to be expected.
Seiya and Erii certainly wouldn’t pop up right away. Especially the Cautious Hero, Seiya. With his pathological caution, he would probably think this chat group was some kind of scheme to harm him.
And in fact, that’s exactly what happened.
Seiya, who had just been summoned to the Unified Divine Realm, had entered this seemingly dangerous chat group. His persecution complex flared up on the spot, and he was naturally extremely cautious.
"You there, weird goddess. Have you seen any kind of chat group?"
Seiya looked at Ristarte and asked nonchalantly.
Ristarte was taken aback and said in confusion, "What chat group? Are you feeling alright?"
"And also, you dare to call me, the great Goddess, ’weird’?!" Ristarte’s eyes widened. She was a goddess who had already saved five worlds! Could he not show some basic respect? If she didn’t need this hero with his high base stats, she would have already let this guy know the might of a goddess. Even if he was totally her type, he couldn’t just ignore a goddess like that!
Seiya could tell that this seemingly idiotic goddess wasn’t lying. It seemed only he could see the chat group.
Hmph. Could it be some kind of cross-world curse? Or a positioning beacon to allow a super Demon Lord to cross over to this place...
Seiya had already imagined many ways this could harm him in his mind. This won’t do. I must become stronger. Otherwise, I won’t be able to handle any unexpected situations.
Thinking of this, Seiya directly threw the goddess Ristarte aside, a complete straight man. Women will only slow down my training.
"Hiss... What are you doing?!" Ristarte clutched her behind and sucked in a sharp breath of air. This guy had no respect for a goddess at all! He was completely lawless!
Little Monster—no, Erii—lay on her bed, her long, dark red hair cascading onto the sheets. Her two fair, slender legs swung back and forth, her feet exposed to the air. Her attention was completely focused on the chat group she had just joined. It felt very interesting. Her eyes shone brightly with curiosity, but for now, she was in lurking mode and didn’t pop up to speak.
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "There are other worlds? That’s so cool! I want to go and see!"
Jade was a lively and cheerful girl who loved adventure. The idea of an adventure in another world was deeply attractive to her. However, she didn’t know if Uncle would agree to let her go to another world. He probably wouldn’t. But then again, Uncle couldn’t keep an eye on her all the time. She would find a chance to go on an adventure to another world through the chat group.
