Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: !!!]

The instant he saw the other party's ID, Sato Kazuma's eyes widened abruptly!

Finally, finally, someone of the opposite sex had joined the Chat Group!

Witch Who Destroyed a Country!

At the very least, she was definitely a girl, right?!

He finally wouldn't have to remain stuck in a group full of men!

—Wait!

This person's nickname was Witch Who Destroyed a Country.

She didn't sound like a good person either...

Still, he should probe her background first.

After all, she might be the Chat Group's first female member!

No matter how abnormal she was, there was no way she could surpass the collection of freaks on his team.

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Welcome, New Group Member! My name is Sato Kazuma! It's a pleasure to meet you! Feel free to ask me directly in the group if you have any questions!]

[Witch of Envy's Runaway Fugitive: Kazuma always gets unusually excited at times like this.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: What do you mean, excited?! I've always been a very warmhearted and friendly person!]

[Witch of Envy's Runaway Fugitive: Mm, you're right.]

As Natsuki Subaru retorted, he also shifted his gaze to the new member's nickname.

There was no doubt that Sato Kazuma was exceptionally excited because the other party's nickname indicated she was female.

However, Natsuki Subaru's expression grew somewhat grave.

He was simply far too sensitive to the word Witch.

After all, he had only recently come into contact with the Witch Cult.

Furthermore, Natsuki Subaru knew perfectly well that if not for Yuji Itadori, he would undoubtedly have died over and over again during that incident.

The Sin Archbishops were all monsters.

It was just that Yuji Itadori happened to be someone who specialized in hunting monsters.

Therefore, when Natsuki Subaru saw that the new member's name contained the word Witch, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Natsuki Subaru's own nickname also contained the words Witch of Envy, he believed that was related to Emilia using Satella as an alias when they first met, so he hadn't thought much of it.

"Could this person be from the Witch Cult in a parallel version of my world?"

Natsuki Subaru muttered to himself.

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Welcome, newcomer!]

[Jujutsu's Top PE Student: Welcome, newcomer!]

[Unsurrounded One: Welcome. Take a look at the Group Announcement if you have any questions. Simply put, each of us comes from a different world, and this Chat Group has connected us together.]

A few minutes later, the new member seemed to have finished reading the group rules and finally spoke in the group.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: I see! To think it can connect people from different worlds together. I truly wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: The newcomer is a girl, right?!!! Introduce yourself! And send a selfie too! That's our tradition!!!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: My apologies. I was so shocked earlier that I neglected my manners. Please allow me to introduce myself now.]

The new member's wording was exceptionally formal and polite, which was enough to show that she had received an excellent education.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: I am Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself, the third princess of the Re-Estize Kingdom.]

When the new member sent her name, nearly every group member had the same thought.

What a long name!

Sato Kazuma's eyes immediately lit up.

A princess?!

Wait, didn't that mean her status was incredibly noble?!

And judging from the way she spoke, she seemed perfectly normal too!

I can already imagine her as a dignified, beautiful, elegant, and extraordinarily refined young lady!!

A smile curled across Sato Kazuma's lips.

Meanwhile, Natsuki Subaru also let out a long sigh of relief.

The Re-Estize Kingdom—at the very least, no such country existed in his world.

It seemed she was a member from an entirely new world.

Before long, the group members introduced themselves one after another and also explained the existence of members who shared the same names.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: I see! All of this truly exceeds my imagination! Still, I'm delighted to meet all of you. I hope we can get along from now on.]

The girl calling herself Renner spoke with impeccable grace and propriety, making her seem extremely easy to get along with.

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Renner-san! Would you mind sending a selfie? It's a tradition in our group!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: My apologies, but may I ask what a selfie is?]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Huh?! You've never taken a selfie before?!]

Only then did Sato Kazuma remember that since she claimed to be a princess from some kingdom, it also meant she wasn't a transmigrator but a native of her world.

Therefore, she wouldn't know modern terms such as Chat Group and selfie.

The last person like that had been Himmel.

However, after Himmel learned about the selfie function, he frequently flooded the group with selfies and tagged the other members to make them look at his handsome pictures.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: My apologies, but I've never heard that term before. What would you like me to do?]

Sato Kazuma then explained how to use the group's selfie function. A few seconds later, a photograph of Renner was sent to the group.

It showed an almost unfairly exquisite and adorable face. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes shone kindly like blue gemstones.

Most importantly, her long golden hair was incomparably dazzling.

The light in Sato Kazuma's eyes grew even brighter!

Could such a perfect woman truly exist?!

In his own world, Sato Kazuma had already grown accustomed to the possibility that every beautiful girl might have something wrong with her head—the people around him were the best examples.

However, Renner seemed completely normal so far!

Furthermore, she was exceptionally beautiful.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: This is honestly a little embarrassing...]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Not at all! Renner-san, you're genuinely very beautiful!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Thank you very much!]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Renner-san! Are there any Witchbeasts in your Kingdom that harass the people?! Just call for me whenever you need help! I'm an Adventurer, so I would never stand idly by when something like that happens!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Oh! You're an Adventurer? I also have several Adventurer friends! Although we aren't from the same world, I'm sure Kazuma-san has worked tremendously hard for the sake of others! Thank you for all your efforts!]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Sob, sob...]

Sato Kazuma was deeply moved.

Finally, besides Yuji Itadori, had another reliable person finally appeared?!

And she was a girl!

A girl he had longed for with all his heart!

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Also, can this group function directly bring all of you into my world?]

[Unsurrounded One: Mm. As long as you need help, you can invite us.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Our Group Leader is especially powerful!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: May I ask if everyone else is also an Adventurer?]

[Unsurrounded One: No, I'm a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Adventurers don't exist in our world.]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: I'm a Hero, which is more or less the same as an Adventurer!]

[Jujutsu's Top PE Student: The Group Leader is a Jujutsu Sorcerer, so I am too, although I'm still barely qualified at the moment.]

[Witch of Envy's Runaway Fugitive: I... currently... Well, I'm not an Adventurer.]

Strictly speaking, Natsuki Subaru's current occupation was that of a servant.

It felt somewhat embarrassing to say that directly.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Neither am I.]

At that moment, the Purge King unexpectedly took the initiative to speak.

[Witch of Envy's Runaway Fugitive: I didn't expect you to come out and speak on your own.]

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: I was busy just now.]

The Purge King gave a brief reply.

In truth, he had been lurking the entire time and watching everyone's conversation.

He yearned for color. There were already very few people with color left in his world, so the Purge King was curious whether people with color existed in other worlds.

Naturally, the arrival of a new group member also aroused the Purge King's curiosity.

However—

The Purge King saw the selfie Renner had posted.

Her angelic face wore an exceptionally warm and adorable smile, one that appeared almost entirely flawless.

However, for some unknown reason, perhaps because of the experience brought by his past betrayal or perhaps because of his strange intuition, the Purge King could vaguely sense that something was hidden within Renner's eyes.

Something fundamentally similar to himself.

She was indifferent to everything in the world, yet possessed a twisted fanaticism toward a particular goal.

However, this was merely the Purge King's impression, and he couldn't be certain yet.

Even so, it made him curious about Renner.

[Coin Decides Your Life or Death: Witch Who Destroyed a Country, what does your nickname mean?]

The Purge King's gaze fell upon Renner's group nickname.

He had already determined that everyone's nickname was connected to their characteristics, thoughts, or circumstances.

Renner's nickname, however, radiated an extraordinarily direct sense of malice.

Witch Who Destroyed a Country.

The Purge King wasn't the only one. Yuji Itadori was equally puzzled.

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Nickname? Do you mean the name I'm using here? My apologies, but I don't know what it means either. I didn't set it myself.]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Perhaps... it has something to do with our country's current situation.]

[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Your country's situation?]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Yes. Although our Kingdom has a long history, its current situation is far from optimistic. If things continue this way, I'm afraid... My apologies. I said something I shouldn't have. Please don't mind me!]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: I didn't expect Renner-san to care so deeply about her country! I'm sure your country will definitely get better!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do. I'm merely a bird trapped in a cage... Even my freedom to travel is restricted.]

[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: What?! Why would they do that? That's going too far! Just call us if you ever need help!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: It's all right. Things are perfectly fine as they are now!]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: However, there is one matter for which I may truly wish to ask for your help.]

[Unsurrounded One: Feel free to tell us whenever you need anything. We'll all do our best to help.]

[Witch Who Destroyed a Country: Thank you very much! I'm simply extremely interested in other worlds! I would like to learn about the things in your worlds!]

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace of the Re-Estize Kingdom...

Renner sat in a chair with a smile on her face, staring intently at the contents of the group chat interface.

She was particularly interested in knowledge from other worlds.

"It seems the writing of different worlds can automatically be converted into understandable language inside this so-called Chat Group."

"Communicating through text alone will save me quite a bit of trouble—"

"After all, this way, I won't need to expend any effort putting on an act."

Renner still wore a smile, but it was no longer the incomparably innocent and adorable smile she had shown in her selfie. Instead, it was a distorted and sickeningly warped smile that looked completely out of place on her exquisitely beautiful face.

This was Renner's true nature.

Renner possessed beauty renowned both within and beyond the country and was praised as the Golden Princess—

At the same time, she possessed intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people. As a result, no one had understood her since childhood, and those around her regarded her as a monster.

Possessing wisdom far ahead of her era, she had previously proposed reforms such as paying rewards to Adventurers, abolishing slavery, and strengthening street security. However, most of these policies failed because of obstruction from the great nobles.

Some of those failures had even been deliberately engineered by her. Her objective was to allow spies planted in the Kingdom by the Empire—the Baharuth Empire, a nation hostile to the Kingdom—to steal those proposals so the Empire would adopt them and secretly strengthen its national power.

Everything was done to attract the attention of the Empire's Bloody Emperor.

The lack of understanding from those around her had long since twisted Renner's heart.

That was until she met her attendant, a young man named Climb.

Climb regarded her as someone important, completely unlike those who treated Renner as a monster.

Furthermore, his innocent and straightforward way of thinking was exceedingly rare within the Kingdom.

Renner loved Climb—but it wasn't simple romantic affection. It was a twisted, possessive form of love.

It was more like carefully protecting her most precious pet.

However, Climb's status was low. As long as they remained in the Kingdom, there was no possibility of her being together with him.

To achieve her sickening objective, there was nothing Renner wouldn't do.

If it meant she could be together with Climb, then even destroying an entire country wouldn't matter.

In her eyes, it would actually be an incredibly profitable exchange.

However, after obtaining the Chat Group, a new idea emerged in Renner's mind.

She also possessed a fanatical obsession with the unknown.

Knowledge, politics, and history from other worlds—all of it interested Renner.

"My, if there's a possibility we'll meet in the future, then I'll have to give some thought to what sort of expression I should wear when the time comes~"

Renner looked at the mirror beside her.

In an instant, the adorable and approachable smile from before returned to her face.
