Chapter 548: Chapter 534: Spending All Day Planning Skills, Decides to Give Up Thinking!

[ After the school festival, the expected return to their respective worlds did not happen. Everyone continued living their daily lives until one day...

In the classroom, Natsuki Subaru was comforting an angry Betty: "I’ll give you ’uppies’, so don’t be unhappy anymore."

"I won’t forgive you that easily!" Betty turned her head away with a bit of tsundere flair: "But I suppose I can specifically... specifically forgive you this time."

This scene made everyone notice the changes in Beatrice. Not only had her personality become much more cheerful, but she also seemed to enjoy clinging to Subaru.

The mentally deficient goddess, who was surprisingly sharp in certain aspects, also noticed the change in Emilia: "I feel like you’ve become more cheerful lately. Did something happen?"

"Really? Hmm..." Emilia lowered her head in thought for a moment, then continued to show a gentle smile: "Maybe so."

Watching all this, Shalltear withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the twins beside her: "On another note, Ram has been really clingy with Rem lately too."

Everyone couldn’t quite put their finger on the reason, but they could clearly feel that the relationships within Natsuki Subaru’s group had undergone earth-shattering changes recently. ]

"’Uppies’ is actually a thing... You really are just coaxing her like a child, and the key is that Betty actually falls for it!"

Looking at the tsundere... no, rather the coquettish loli Betty, everyone began to question reality. Young lady, hasn’t your attitude changed a bit too drastically?!

This isn’t even a question of being clingy or not anymore. Compared to your previous attitude of ignoring Subaru, were you hacked, and is someone else logging in from a different location?

.....

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

Watching this scene, the Roswaal Manor was far from calm. Everyone’s face carried a hint of astonishment; as the parties involved, they could clearly feel the ’change.’

"Something’s wrong... It’s so strange!"

For a split second, Natsuki Subaru thought his memories were scrambled.

Although Betty had helped him before, one could even say she gave him psychological encouragement to help him overcome difficulties.

But their relationship couldn’t be called that good. After all, back then, Betty had a terrible personality, a sharp-tongued tsundere attitude. Logically speaking, her attitude toward him should be one of indifference.

"It is a bit wrong, like everyone went through something together."

Rem also felt something was amiss. After all, even the mentally deficient goddess could see it; the personality changes were too obvious.

Natsuki Subaru frowned slightly and thought for a moment:

"Could that be the future us?!"

"I’m not very sure either. After all, the other world on the screen where we go to school still holds too many suspicious points."

Emilia shook her head.

However, they didn’t delve deeper into it. After all, becoming more cheerful wasn’t a bad thing.

"That person being dismissed with just... just ’uppies’ is Betty?"

Meanwhile, inside the library, Betty felt a rare sense of extreme shame.

Betty, who had no interest in humans, would actually act coquettishly toward a human? How many years has it been since she experienced such a thing...

Ever since she followed the guidance of the Tome of Wisdom, waiting for ’That Person’ qualified to inherit all of her mother Echidna’s knowledge, it had been over 400 years.

Now, she felt a sense of absurdity, like reading unofficial history; it might not be accurate, but it was certainly wild enough!

.....

[ Tanya was maintaining her firearms, conversing with the Shield Hero who had come to deliver documents. Everyone was forming small groups and living a fulfilling campus life.

In this lively class, only Ainz sat alone in his seat, focused on petting a cat: "This overflowing magical power... as expected, Chomusuke is no ordinary cat."

"However, being unusual isn’t really a problem. But should I call it a cat-like creature, or some other creature?"

Just then, a black hole appeared out of thin air above the classroom. Massive gravitational force surged out, and Ainz immediately realized something was wrong: "Not good. Run with my legs?"

"No, use teleportation? No, swap places with someone? No, block it with a wall? No, use attack magic? No..."

Ainz held Chomusuke and thought for a while, simply unable to decide which skill to use. Finally, he reached a conclusion: "Hmm, I’m done for."

Ainz was instantly sucked into the black hole, and even the classmates couldn’t escape this calamity. Just like that, before anyone could react, everyone was transported to another world. ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"ANY SKILL WOULD HAVE WORKED—! You were thinking way too much!"

Watching Ainz hesitate over which skill to use, the people from other worlds were instantly speechless. So you thought for half a day, only to choose to stop thinking in the end...

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"No way, your conclusion after thinking for so long was actually to just give up..."

Rin Tohsaka was dumbfounded. It didn’t matter what skill he used, at least block that sudden black hole first!

This Ainz must have decision paralysis! It was her first time seeing someone who, due to having too many skills, didn’t know which one to use at a critical moment...

"I wouldn’t say he gave up."

Cu Chulainn was also caught between laughter and tears:

"At first, he reacted, but because he thought too much, he ended up running out of time to react."

Even Cu Chulainn, with his rich combat experience, had never seen such an opponent. He basically gave himself away, and the reason was that he overthought things.

No wonder Ainz’s subordinates viewed him through such thick filters and loved to let their imaginations run wild...

After all, stuck with a boss who loved to overthink, his subordinates naturally learned to do the same.

.....

[ "So, why did it turn out like this!" Natsuki Subaru immediately let out a mournful wail, dragging Betty along as he started to flee.

Having just been transported here, before they could even figure out the situation, they were being chased relentlessly by a giant stone Golem.

Although Puck tried to use magic to stop the Golem’s advance, attack magic hitting its body was simply like a tickle.

"Then leave it to me!" Aqua stepped forward, twirling her staff with both hands, and stood imposingly in front of the Golem.

"I just need to attract that guy’s attention, right?"

Thus, under everyone’s expectant gazes, Aqua pointed to the side with a look of surprise: "Look over there, there’s a wild succubus taking a bath... oh... oh... oh!"

This mentally deficient statement caused the scene to fall silent for a moment. Then, the Golem raised both fists and smashed them heavily onto the ground, sending Aqua flying.

Kazuma, who was still running away, couldn’t help but look back and curse: "Are you an idiot!"

Seeing her plan fail, Aqua cried and chased after them at high speed: "Because Kazuma would definitely fall for it... WAAAAAH!!" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Seeing Aqua wave her staff, I was a real idiot for thinking she would choose to use magic..."

Watching this strategy that could startle the heavens and make ghosts weep, even the people outside the video fell silent... As expected of Aqua! Never playing by the rules.

Telling a stone man there’s a succubus to distract it—this is simply a genius idea. But the problem is, guess why it’s called a stone man?

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Wordline〜

"A wild succubus taking a bath... worthy of the Goddess of Wisdom."

Illya’s expression froze.

Was Aqua serious?

This move might have a very good effect on Kazuma, but the opponent is a stone man, a stone man! Even if you apply a formula, you have to look at the target!

Magical Ruby flickered slightly:

"I think saying a wild stone man is taking a bath would probably be better than this......."

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Ruby’s thought instantly received unanimous agreement from everyone. At least it was much better than what Aqua came up with.

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

Ristarte subconsciously rubbed her eyes, unable to suppress a gasp of amazement:

"Although Aqua isn’t bright, her running speed is really fast."

Aqua, who was just bringing up the rear, caught up to Kazuma at the very front in an instant while crying. This speed was indeed fast enough.

"Runs fast?"

Seiya thought about Ristarte’s running movements, which were previously like an aberrant species, and subconsciously glanced at her with a hint of pity.

"You don’t run much slower than her... and your running has a lot of character!"

Perhaps this is a common trait among useless goddesses; they all run much faster than others.

.....

[ "Air Strike Shield, Second Shield!" Seeing this, the Shield Hero also tried to block with shields. Two emerald-green shields instantly blocked the Golem’s path.

Perhaps because of the emerald-green color, they were indeed quite brittle. The Golem shattered the shields into pieces without any effort.

Seeing this, Demiurge, who was thinking while running, stated the intelligence he knew: "That thing is called a Strategic Siege Golem. In our world, it is known as the Golem with the strongest physical attack."

"Can’t be helped then, looks like it’s my turn." Hearing the words ’strongest,’ Megumin instantly became interested and began chanting magic.

"No! We’re on a bridge; there’s a river below." Kazuma hurriedly tried to stop Megumin’s action. Casting Explosion Magic here would harm their classmates.

Megumin, already fired up, refused without a second thought: "No, leave it to me!"

Helpless, Kazuma could only rely on luck, turning back and reaching out his hand toward the Golem: "STEAL—!"

"Didn’t I say I’d handle it!" Seeing Kazuma about to steal the kill, Megumin couldn’t care less about chanting properly and also turned back, extending her staff: "EXPLOSION—!"

A crimson magic circle instantly appeared in the air, and a scorching pillar of fire smashed heavily onto the Golem’s body.

When the smoke cleared, Megumin was seen shyly pressing down on her skirt with her hand: "Even at a time like this, that man still..."

Meanwhile, Kazuma, who had been blown away by the shockwave and fallen into the river, was clutching a pair of Megumin’s panties in his hand: "Gurglegurgle, that wasn’t my fault...!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"In a sense, Kazuma’s Steal really has 100% accuracy... although only for panties."

Watching Kazuma fall into the river, everyone’s expressions became somewhat subtle. This guy, no matter which other world he goes to, really just can’t get along with panties!

.....

〜OVERLORD World〜

"So it was Gargantua... however, it shouldn’t be the one from the Great Tomb."

Ainz shook his head, watching the Golem on the screen; this one was a bit small.

Gargantua, as the Guardian of the 4th Floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, although always in an unconscious state due to energy reasons, was over 30 meters tall.

Moreover, Gargantua’s true significance didn’t lie in guarding, but in sieging and conquering territory. It was a true strategic siege weapon!

The only drawback was that if one wanted to use it, it cost way too much money.
