Chapter 549: Chapter 535: Disbanding the Team! A One-Person Army Facing the Real Deal!

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"Yare yare, as expected of Scum-zuma, to be able to accurately steal panties even in such a critical moment!"

Dust, who witnessed this scene as Kazuma’s old friend, felt a sense of relief.

He hadn’t made this good brother in vain. Even in another different world, he hadn’t changed a bit; he was still that ’pure and simple’ good young man.

"I regret it. I shouldn’t have taught him that damn Steal skill!"

Chris lay quietly on the table, her face filled with regret.

Kazuma’s Steal skill must have mutated. He never stole anything normal—the Dullahan’s head, screws, and especially panties were common occurrences!

Ever since she taught Kazuma the Steal skill, she had to consider wearing two pairs of panties every time she went out. It really was a case of the student surpassing the master and killing the master in the process!

.....

[ Although the Golem remained unscathed after taking a hit from Explosion Magic, the bridge couldn’t withstand the aftershocks and collapsed in the middle.

Everyone fell into the river along with the Golem and was scattered by the current. All of this was watched by a girl wearing an eyepatch.

"We got separated because of the Explosion Magic..." Natsuki Subaru looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, inevitably feeling a bit worried.

However, fortunately, Betty, Darkness, Aura, and Filo were still with him, which made him feel much more at ease.

On Tanya’s side, she was with Emilia, Albedo, and others. She looked around with some confusion: "Where did the others go?"

Far away on the other side, the Shield Hero had his arm firmly grasped by the terrified, useless Goddess. Beside him were the twin sisters, Ram and Rem, who were also looking around with blank expressions.

Of course, there was also a rather special existence...

After Kazuma, who had fallen into the river, woke up, he found himself in a forest.

After silently checking his left and right, he held his head and shouted, feeling a sudden mental breakdown: "AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE—?!!" ]

[ .....]

〜So I’m a Spider, So What? World〜

"No, Yunyun is also alone at school."

Kumoko silently retorted.

"You guys forgot about her again."

During the grouping just now, she widened her eyes but simply couldn’t find Yunyun’s figure.

Then Kumoko instantly understood. They definitely didn’t bring Yunyun to play this time either! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!

However, Kazuma’s pitfall teammates were distributed one to each group.

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

Watching the scene before her, even Miyu couldn’t help but retort:

"I can’t figure out Kazuma. Is he really unlucky or really lucky? With this lineup, every team has a combat specialist, so it’s safe enough not to worry. Except for Kazuma..."

With so many people falling into the river, even a random grouping should have picked up two teammates. Yet, he was the only one left alone in this dangerous world. So much for having luck second only to the Goddess of Luck.

Luvia said somewhat hesitantly,

"Maybe his luck was used up when he stole those panties..."

"Hmph, that’s hard to say."

Tohsaka Rin crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"How do you know that Kazuma jungling alone isn’t a form of luck?"

Anyway, whatever Luvia agreed with, she had to refute. Besides, with none of his pitfall teammates around this time, how could this not be a form of luck?

.....

[ At this moment, Ainz, who was transferred first, was inside a temple, realizing that the surroundings were full of Golems incredibly familiar from YGGDRASIL!

On the other side with the Shield Hero, Aqua was currently being chased by a group of undead: "Waaah... Why! Why are they only chasing me?"

Rem also saw an opportunity. While Aqua was attracting the aggro, she casually smashed a Morning Star over: "They really are endless."

"Yeah!" Looking at the still numerous monsters around them, the Shield Hero couldn’t help but look at Rem’s iron ball. "By the way, that Morning Star is..."

"For self-defense," Rem said, throwing the Morning Star at the monsters again.

And Mare, who looked somewhat frail, was also waving his staff, constantly smashing the monsters. Not a single one could last more than two hits.

The Shield Hero was instantly stunned: "Those two are so strong..." ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Aqua is really useful sometimes. Number one at taunting and pulling aggro. As for the timing of the pull? Don’t worry about that! Just ask yourself if she pulled them!"

"It’s confirmed. The staff in Mare’s hand is just a decoration; it was never used to cast magic..."

Watching Mare smash monsters one by one with his staff, the faces of everyone in other worlds turned dark. Having high base stats allows you to be willful, but why does a mage like you love melee combat so much?

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"I see. As a frail maid, carrying a Morning Star for self-defense is indeed very reasonable!"

Gudako nodded in sudden realization.

"Such hardcore self-defense equipment..."

Watching Rem slaughter in all directions with the Morning Star, Mash silently stood by the side.

"Senpai, are you sure that’s for self-defense?"

What kind of maid carries a massive Morning Star for self-defense?! And where did you pull that Morning Star out from?

Even ignoring that, the most critical point is... the excuse of using it for self-defense doesn’t seem to match your current behavior at all!

I feel like those undead need a Morning Star for self-defense more.

.....

[ Watching the two slaughtering in front, the Shield Hero couldn’t help but look at the indifferent Ram beside him. "And you? Why aren’t you fighting?"

"In this situation, if I were to get serious, I would insta-kill them! But if I did that, someone would have to carry me all the time."

Ram spoke, looking as if she had thought of some unpleasant image, revealing an expression as if she were looking at scum.

"Truly indecent."

Although the Shield Hero didn’t know what nonsense Ram was talking about, the most important thing right now was to leave first. He immediately shouted to the group: "You guys, come to me!"

"Rem, Rem, as expected, this man is indecent." Ram heard this and began her sharp-tongued commentary from the side.

Rem cooperated with Ram in tacit understanding: "Nee-sama, Nee-sama... as expected, this man is a beast." ]

[ .....]

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

Smack...

Watching this incredibly familiar scene, Natsuki Subaru slapped his forehead hard and lowered his head helplessly.

"Sorry about that, Shield Hero-san. Your reputation has been damaged."

Isn’t this exactly what they said to me when we first met? Why are they re-enacting famous scenes at a time like this?

"Although my teammates are a bit sharp-tongued, they probably don’t have any malicious intent... right?"

Looking at the somewhat nasty smile on Ram’s face, Subaru’s voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, becoming unsure himself.

Rem, on the other hand, remained silent. She noticed Subaru’s abnormal reaction after seeing the Morning Star just now. Fear? Terror? Perhaps both.

Rem’s small hand slightly tightened around her dress. In the cycles that had been overturned and repeated countless times, there must have been more than one time when she had taken action herself...

.....

[ Seeing that everyone had gathered, the Shield Hero looked at Aqua, who was still being chased by monsters. "Hey! That disappointing woman over there, hurry up!"

"Even if you say that, I can’t manage it!" Aqua was still running for her life around the group. "By the way, you just called me disappointing, didn’t you?"

Unable to watch any longer, Rem created a huge block of ice directly under Aqua’s feet. Mare instantly leaped up, manipulating the ice block towards the mountain.

"Air Strike Shield!" Seeing this, the Shield Hero also turned the shield in his hand into a giant iron ball, chaining himself together with the sisters Rem and Ram.

Lieutenant Neumann and Lieutenant Koenig then dragged the iron ball, also flying towards the mountain.

Seeing that they were approaching the mountain, the lieutenant hurriedly reminded everyone to assume the anti-shock posture.

"Eh? How do you do the anti-shock posture?" Aqua sat on the ice block, looking blankly at the lieutenants.

Mare whispered a reminder: "There’s going to be a big impact next; please try to endure it."

"That doesn’t count as an explanation at all—Ahhh!"

Then, under Aqua’s terrified gaze, she crashed directly into the mountain. Aqua was sent flying and smashed heavily onto the ground. ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Laughing to death. No matter how terrified Aqua is, or how loud she screams, she takes zero damage. This guy simply has no health bar."

Seeing that only Aqua didn’t land safely, the crowd didn’t worry in the slightest.

After all, rather than worrying about a useless Goddess with no health bar, it was better to worry about whether the mountain was okay.

.....

〜A Certain Magical Index World〜

"Disappointing woman... What an accurate description."

Misaka Mikoto was somewhat surprised.

She didn’t expect that even the Shield Hero, who hadn’t spoken more than a few sentences to Aqua, would see through Aqua’s essence instantly.

"Onee-sama, I’ve wanted to complain for a long time... Is that really a shield?"

Kuroko’s mouth twitched slightly.

She could see the ’prison’ part, as the chains outside locked them tight, but this shield... sorry, she really couldn’t see it.

〜Sword Art Online World〜

"Poor Goddess of Wisdom..."

Kirito looked speechlessly at Aqua, who had forcefully crashed into the mountain. Unlike Kazuma, this one was truly unlucky to the extreme.

First chased by monsters for ages, then experiencing the sensation of physically hitting a mountain. It was simply displaying her bad luck to the fullest.

Asuna rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"Who asked her to always bully Eris? Bullying a Goddess of Luck... do you think she can still be lucky?"

"That makes sense!"

Kirito suddenly realized. The reason why Aqua was still so unlucky despite being a Goddess seemed to have been found.

She constantly made a fuss about the Goddess of Luck, Eris, padding her chest, and even wrote it into the Axis Cult’s doctrine.

No wonder Aqua’s luck stat is so low!
