The Admin

--- Okamura Akihito's POV ---

*Ding*

Huh?

"So that is how my world works, I thank you for having to listen to this, Akihito-ssi..."

We're currently relaxing in an outdoor bath.

Jin Woo was currently explaining about his world, well... Five feet apart cuz we're not ga--

*COUGH*

---just until I heard a notification from my phone.

[The Little Sister is online]

I brought my phone which was inside a waterproof casing to my face.

That notif doesn't make sense, why? Because from next to us behind the wall I can hear Hiromi chatting with a few goblinas (female goblins) as well as Shuna, the pink-haired Oni girls.

Meaning...

"Sorry about this, I think I needed to check something. I'll come back here after that." Thus I told Jin Woo.

He nodded in understanding and I came out of the bath.

After I go out I spotted a fidgeting white spider in front of the women's outdoor bath's entrance.

We looked at each other and...

I gave her a thumbs up, "Good luck" before walking away.

Well, I felt bad for the spider behind me who was actually screaming "HELP ME!!!" Internally without making any sounds.

I know she's a spider, but this level of antisocial anxiety was pretty much abnormal... She can't even get into a crowded place even if she wanted to...

.

.

.

I checked mine and Hiromi's room to find her phone was placed in a weird place...

Her phone sat right above a leaking ceiling...

"Ah... Wait, but it's not raining today?"

...

Well, whatever, Shuna said the room above this was an indoor bath so I guess I'll ask her to change our room later.

*Thud*

I slide the door back into its place and began to walk away before I heard it...

Right a very iconic notification sound...

*Ding*

I was confused as none of this situation makes any sense...

[Good Slime has joined the server]

How the f*ck?

--- Third Person's POV---

There Rimuru sat on the tatami floor across from the Administrator of the group nervously.

He had told them to come to the room once they finished bathing for dinner.

He plans to "interview" them, the otherworlder, by giving them a "great service".

Well, that... Until he had to sit facing the Admin guy with a stoic face who's sipping on his steaming hor tea for a while now.

Rimuru can't use his human form, his facial expression would be too obvious if he does that.

But finally...

"Rimuru-san"

The admin who wears a blue bathing yukata calls his name followed by a loud internal *gulp* from the slime.

"I want to tell you something very important..." (Akihito)

"...uh, what is it?" (Rimuru)

"I am a Siscon" (Akihito)

"Shocking!?" (Rimuru)

The admin just stated such words with a flat face. No, why did he say that in the first place???

"🌸✨I'll murder you🌸✨" (Akihito)

"Why!???" (Rimuru)

It was 10 minutes of hell for Rimuru. Not only he can't understand what this guy is saying, but he is also bewildered by the flowery aura the admin emitted.

Only a second later Akihito is back to his normal state.

"Haha, just want to see your reaction there, Rimuru-san. Sorry about that. In truth, I already know you sneaked into our room and played with Hiromi's smartphone"

Rimuru twitches slightly.

"Well, congratulations... You're one of us now."

Eh? That's it? That's all he wants to say?

"That's all?" (Rimuru)

He raised an eyebrow, "what were you expecting me to say?"

...

"Nevermind then..." Whilst saying that, Rimuru turned into his human form as it is much more convenient for having a conversation.

Rimuru was expecting something more, like a test or something.

He had looked into his new smartphone which was pretty much very suspicious even though Great Sage was the one who made it.

She said that a few components of it were similar to the anti-magic mask that he possesses, but that's all the skill can say.

No information can be extracted about this "Dimensional Group Chat" that the phone's showing very proudly.

But now that there was no issue with the admin himself, then Rimuru mustered all courage to ask him about it.

"Well, it's a group chat, the difference is you can connect yourself to the group wherever you are. In a nutshell, we came from different worlds, and that group chat gave us missions. We ended up here because we want to help with the Orc Lord's subjugation."

That's what the admin said.

"It's like a game then? Won't it be inconvenient to be transported somewhere else when you're... You know, living your life?"

Rimuru was a bit skeptical about this "mission" thing.

"Try to look at it for yourself."

Suddenly the admin brought his phone to the slime's face.

"Huh? Eat potato chips? Wait, that's not important now... Ah!"

Rimuru's eyes landed on the bolded sentence of those notifications.

[Notice: World Suspension will be activated for all members]

"World suspension?" He muttered.

"Whilst doing a quest in another world, your homeworld would be suspended. Meaning time will be stopped for your world. You can say it like that."

Rimuru's eyes went wide.

"How broken..."

"I second that."
