The Group's First Offline Meeting

Hey, Shun here!

I've always thought that teleporting would cause me to feel nauseous. However, it's surprisingly not the case at all.

I just hope there won't come a day when we have to ride an airplane. I'm really bad with airplanes, after all…

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

(Shun's POV)

The moment I passed through the portal, I was greeted with the sight of a room with pink as its theme. It's a very girly room, if you ignore the fact that there are many weird things displayed on each corner of the room.

Hey, why does it feel like I didn't go to another dimension but just passed through a portal that sent me to an unknown girl-next-door's room. That's my honest feelings.

While I'm looking around in a slight daze, a small and cute voice that I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere before addressed me in an embarrassed manner.

"U-Umm… [Admin] Shun-san… Please don't look around my room too much, it's embarrassing…"

Eh? That way of address…

Since I finally recognized who that voice belongs to, I looked at the source of the voice and confirmed that she really is who I thought she is. Looking at her fidget shyly, I was somewhat skeptical since the one I know is quite outgoing and energetic.

However, somehow… I know this is her.

"Kaede-san, right?"

"Um… That's right."

Kaede-san is a girl with fair skin and shiny black hair that extends beneath her chin, with a short ahoge. Her eyes are a shade of cool grey.

She's standing at a height of around 145cm while she is wearing a white and pink-striped hoodie sweater with matching shorts that reach only until her upper thighs.

"Is everyone here already?"

"Umm… They are! They just arrived and chose to wait at the living room. Also, Inu-chan and Neko-chan waited for you here…"

As if that was their queue, two small figures poked their head out of Kaede's sides. One with black hair and blue eyes, while the other have white hair and red eyes.

They were looking at me shyly for a few seconds, as if trying to discern something. A few moments later the two rushed at me and hugged me around my stomach.

As an aside, these two people are around roughly the same height as Kaede-san. They're quite malnourished though.

They really do need to eat some meat…

"[Admin]~? Meat~?"

"[Admin]! Meat nanodesu!"

Seeing who they are, I hugged the two back before patting their heads. Yep, the cat ears and the dog ears feels really good to pat. It's definitely not because I'm a die-hard fan of fantasy creatures, okay?

These two are Inu and Neko, the demi-human beast girls of our [Dimensional Group Chat]. Ever since we started teaching them through voice chat and helping widen their vocabulary and knowledge, they got quite attached to me and Kaede-san.

"We will be eating meat everyday to nourish your bodies while we're here. Oh, right! Let's go to where the others are so that I can finally give you your presents!"

"Gifts nanodesu!?"

"Gift~?"

"That's right. Come on, lead me."

"Okay~—"

"—nanodesu!"

I followed the lead of the two beast girls while conversing with Kaede-san.

"Have you tried playing the game, Kaede-san?"

"W-Well, my friend just told me to play it so I have a copy of the game inside my room…"

"Heeh~. Then we can play the game tomorrow or the next day. By the way, aren't your parents around?"

"Yes, tomorrow afternoon, we can probably start playing the game… My parents are out for a trip so they aren't here."

Seeing her smile wryly, I also showed a wry smile of my own. I quite understand how she feels.

"Well, that's a shame. I wanted to greet them since we will be crashing in their house for a while…"

While we are talking, Inu and Neko didn't stop dragging me. It looks like we already arrived at the living room since I could already hear voices amongst each other.

When we arrived at the living room, I saw three girls with different appearances. The first one is an adorable girl with a short stature, wearing an eye patch and a uniform.

The second one is a drop dead gorgeous beauty with black hair and pinkish red eyes. She's wearing what seems to be a school uniform while carrying weird items like; katanas, a weird scroll with some weird symbols, a suspicious flask that contains suspicious liquid stuffs and etc.

The last girl, on the other hand, is like the mix between the first girl who's beauty lies in her adorableness, and the second girl who have all the other curves on the right places, except for the chest department. However, unlike the first two girls, this girl have all the womanly proportions a man would want in a girl.

That's if she just shuts her mouth though…

You see, these girls who are gathered here are the chuunis of our group; Takanashi Rikka, Sakaki Mutsuko, and McDowell Satanichia Kurumizawa.

When arrived in the living room, we saw the three of them talk about some stuffs like magic and how the group chat just proved it. Thankfully, they seem to be aware that they shouldn't be loud since it's already 10 pm.

"Hey, Mutsuko-neesan…"

"What is it Rikka-chan?"

"What does this fan thing do?"

"Oh, that? It fires off needles that contains tranquilizers when you open it so be careful, okay?"

"Hiee!" Rikka-san threw the item away in a bout of panic.

"What about this normal looking ball?"

"That? That's a ball that contains tear gas. Be careful around it, okay?" Satania-san asked.

"Why do you have to carry these dangerous stuffs with you, Mutsuko-san!?" Even Satania-san, who is a self-proclaimed devil, got afraid of the items that Mutsuko-san brought with her.

"Hee hee, well, it's so that I am always prepared!" Oi, why are you feeling proud? That wasn't a compliment.

Looking at the two who are inspecting the items that Mutsuko-san brought while the person herself explained the uses of each items, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

"We're not in a dangerous world so you didn't need to bring those items with you, Mutsuko-san."

At my words, the three girls directed their attention to me before they all answered in their own unique way.

"Well, it's better for us to be prepared! It is my duty to be always prepared since I am the Survival Club's president!"

"Isn't it cool though? As the wielder of [Tyrant's Eye], I myself would want some of these items for myself!"

"Fumu fumu. I, the Great Archdemon Satanichia, am also tempted to carry some of these superb items with me! Ah—Hahaha!"

It took quite some time before I managed to get their attention again. Since it's already late, I had to ask them whether they would like to take a rest first before we do anything else.

After we all greeted each other after formally meeting face to face, we all agreed on deciding our plan of action tomorrow. Rest comes first.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

When morning of the next day came, I woke up early in the morning to use the Honjou Family's kitchen. This will double as our celebratory banquet of sorts so I want to cook delicious dishes while aiming for it to be a light and invigorating meal.

Since it's for breakfast, I chose to cook some risotto with apples, one of the favorite fruits of Kaede, apparently. Then, as promised, I made some hamburger patties that are high in proteins.

I mixed some veggies in it as well, in order to make it extra nutricious but still tasty. Even though I know that Inu and Neko hate wasting food, I want to make sure that they'll be able to eat nutritious veggies. They're both still slightly childish due to their upbringing, after all.

As for our dessert, I decided to make some coffee jellies and melon bread, something that Kaede-san, Satania-san, and Mutsuko-san likes. I don't know what Rikka-san likes but I guess that she'll also like the dessert since she's a girl.

I mean, almost every girl I know have a thing for sweets so I assume that this is also the case for Rikka-san.

While I'm done plating the dishes and serving them on top of the dining table, I pulled out my phone and chose to use my [Admin] rights to sound the alarm on their phones.

Was it rude? Definitely.

Do I feel guilty? Yes? A little. They went to sleep late, after all.

I was left out since it's a girls talk. I don't want to interfere in their talks so I went to where I will be staying and pulled out my laptop to start my own research about the game we'll be playing.

We already talked about this yesterday. If they aren't still up and about after I finished cooking our breakfast, I'll resort to this to wake them up.

A minute later after I sounded the alarm, five groggy girls and one energetic dog girl went downstairs and greeted me. Only Inu is in high spirits, though.

Eh, wait, it looks like Neko is just being her usual self.

"Gooood morning nanodesu! I smell meat nodesu! Did you cook meat nanodesu!?" Said Inu while jumping up and down, all while holding the hem of my shirt.

"Mornin' nyadesu~" Neko, you didn't have to follow your sister in this.

"Huwah! So sleepy~. Morning [Admin] Shun-san…"

Kaede-san seems to be sleepy still.

"*groan*… Making you sound the alarm was a bad idea, Shun-chan~."

I think it's also a bad idea to stretch your body like that while wearing your pajamas in front of a teenage boy, Mutsuko-san.

"Oi, [Admin] Shun. I just hope you didn't ruin the deliciousness of apples by putting it in a risotto…"

"These looks delicious!"

Satania-san seems to be eyeing me with hostility while Rikka-san became energetic after seeing the food on the table. You could tell since her ahoge is wagging left and right, similar to Inu's tail.

"Well, let's eat first. We need to talk about our next course of action after this…"
