[Alice Nakiri]: “So Mr.
Daigo used his connections to get into GUTS.” After Saku Hayashi explained what he meant by calling Daigo Director-General Sawai’s lackey, the other group members understood as well.
Although the description was intended as a joke, Daigo genuinely possessed powerful backing in his world.
[Daigo]: “I see…
I suppose I did use the back door to some extent.
I don’t know much about it, but without Director-General Sawai’s recommendation, I probably wouldn’t have even been allowed to take GUTS’s entrance examination.” Daigo had originally been an ordinary member of the Transportation Division.
Without Director-General Sawai’s appreciation, he might never have joined GUTS.
Compared with professionals such as Shinjoh, Daigo’s basic training was significantly weaker.
[Gojo Satoru]: “Group Leader, what level of authority does this Director-General Sawai possess?” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “In Daigo’s world, Director-General Sawai united the nations and practically eliminated wars between countries.
He founded the Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium, or TPC.
You could essentially consider him the leader of Daigo’s entire Earth.” In the world of Ultraman Tiga, Director-General Sawai was undeniably extraordinary.
His political ability was astonishing.
[Natsuki Minamiya]: “Impressive.
Daigo, if you truly are the lackey of someone like that, your future is exceptionally bright.” Natsuki understood how significant the position of Earth’s leader was.
If the three great vampire Primogenitors in her world attempted to conquer the planet, neither humanity nor the other demon races would be able to resist them easily.
[Daigo]: “Haha!
I’ve never considered using Director-General Sawai for personal gain.
When I saved him, I was merely doing what I could.
I never thought about receiving a reward afterward.” The situation had been extremely dangerous.
One small mistake could have cost Daigo his life.
He had not had time to think.
His body had simply moved instinctively.
Although he ultimately succeeded, remembering the incident still frightened him and made him break into a cold sweat.
[Rocks]: “No wonder Director-General Sawai thinks highly of you.
Most people would have considered how they could benefit, but you charged forward the moment your sense of responsibility took over.” Rocks understood now.
Daigo was an exceptionally sincere person.
Director-General Sawai had reached such a powerful position, so his ability to judge people could not be poor.
Distinguishing genuine intentions from an act would have been easy for him.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Daigo, have you encountered any monsters yet?” [Daigo]: “Do monsters exist in our world?” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Why are you so surprised?
GUTS is primarily responsible for investigating strange phenomena around the world—in other words, supernatural incidents.
Monsters would naturally fall under your jurisdiction.” [Daigo]: “I haven’t encountered any, but do monsters truly exist?” Daigo fell silent.
He had never seen a real monster before.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “If I remember correctly, Eiji Tsuburaya existed in your world and directed an Ultraman tokusatsu series.
You should have watched it, right?” Before the final battle, Daigo had once followed an alien back to the era when Eiji Tsuburaya was still alive.
After defeating a monster, Daigo had visited the filming studio and participated in the production.
Therefore, the Ultraman tokusatsu series should exist in his world, although it had rarely been mentioned.
The story primarily focused on Ultraman Tiga and said little about the original Ultraman.
[Daigo]: “I watched it.
Are you saying that monsters and Ultraman actually exist?” Those were programs Daigo had watched during childhood.
So many years had passed that he would never have actively remembered them without someone mentioning them.
[Elysia]: “In that case, does that mean Mr.
Daigo can transform into Ultraman?” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “He certainly can.
However, I’ll keep how he transforms a secret for now.
We can discuss it after Daigo actually does it.” [Daigo]: “Huh?
Stop speaking in riddles!
You can tell me privately if necessary.
Why am I able to transform into Ultraman?” Daigo was completely bewildered.
He had inexplicably joined a chat group today, only to learn that he might transform into something called Ultraman in the future.
The pressure he felt instantly multiplied.
Could everyone please give him a break?
What was happening?
[Alice Nakiri]: “Group Leader, what about my world?
There shouldn’t be any monsters there, right?” Alice was beginning to worry.
Her world should have been an entirely ordinary, peaceful place.
Please tell her that it contained no supernatural phenomena.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Monsters won’t appear in your world, but its chefs are somewhat unusual.
When skilled chefs prepare food and other people taste it, their reactions become so exaggerated that it looks as though they’ve been drugged.” When discussing the world of Food Wars!, the obvious subject was its infamous “drugging.” The protagonist, Sōma Yukihira, was even called the King of Drugs.
The manga’s artist was said to have previously drawn adult doujinshi, which explained why those particular scenes were depicted so vividly.
Saku Hayashi’s world might specialize in producing incredible food, but people’s reactions after tasting it were nowhere near as exaggerated as those in Food Wars!.
[Alice Nakiri]: “Drugged?
Now that you mention it…
that does seem accurate.” Alice recalled the people who had tasted her cooking.
Their expressions had always been somewhat strange, and their intoxication was excessively dramatic.
Describing it as being drugged was surprisingly appropriate.
There was nothing wrong with that comparison.
She would pay closer attention in the future.
[Elysia]: “So her world focuses on cooking.
How is it different from your world, Saku Hayashi?” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “There are considerable differences.
Many dishes in my world grow naturally in the wild.
Even without a chef preparing them, they’re already extraordinarily delicious.” [Alice Nakiri]: “Dishes that grow in the wild?
That sounds fascinating.
Group Leader, you must let me see them someday.” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “No problem.
We’ll find an opportunity to hold another gathering in my world.” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “As for Gojo, there’s no need for me to explain his world.
He already understands it extremely well.” As the strongest modern jujutsu sorcerer, Gojo’s combat strength stood overwhelmingly above everyone else.
Even Special Grade Cursed Spirits could not force him to use his full power.
[Gojo Satoru]: “Heh.
Of course I understand it.
The entire jujutsu world is a mess, and the stench of decay is unbearable.” He was referring to the senior leadership of the jujutsu world.
Gojo had disliked them for a long time.
If dealing with the aftermath were not somewhat troublesome, he genuinely wanted to eliminate them one by one.
[Gojo Satoru]: “I don’t have any opponents right now.
Does anyone want to spar?” [Elysia]: “Kevin, aren’t you extremely strong?
Saku Hayashi said you were humanity’s strongest warrior.” [Gojo Satoru]: “Humanity’s strongest?
Mr.
Kevin, would you like to spar with me?” The word “strongest” caused Gojo’s eyes to shine brilliantly.
He himself carried the title of the strongest.
The strongest fighter from another world therefore held an indescribable attraction for him.
[Kevin]: “I’ll pass on that kind of sparring.” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Gojo, if you want to fight someone, why not challenge Ryomen Sukuna?” [Gojo Satoru]: “Sukuna is far too weak right now.
Yuji has only eaten one finger.
Even if Sukuna came out, he wouldn’t possess much strength.” Yuji would need to consume at least a dozen fingers before Sukuna could make Gojo fight seriously.
One finger was pointless.
It would be no different from fighting an ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “If you underestimate Sukuna too much, you’ll suffer for it.” [Gojo Satoru]: “It’ll be fine.
I’m the strongest.” [Gojo Satoru]: “I’d win.” The corner of Saku Hayashi’s mouth twitched when he saw Gojo’s declaration.
Saying those words was terribly inauspicious.
