I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"And I now have the power to invite them."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the witches in front of him, ignoring their curious, sighing, or expectant gazes, and focused his attention and mind on the witches in front of him.

There was a chat group page there that could not be observed by anyone else but him.

Numerous messages from the chat group system appeared before his eyes as if they were flooding his screen.

......

[The wings of light unfold, accepting your mission.]

I'm going to give Kobayashi ten children; I've accepted your mission.

The barrage of messages in the chat group system has ended.

Subaru Natsuki spent all the points he had accumulated and sold the fragments of his invitation slots to finally send out an invitation for the high-level mission.

Then, the world before him began to distort.

......

The second moment after the high-level mission was issued

A distortion began to appear within Echidna's temple.

The transformation of time and space was completed almost in an instant.

Several figures stood before Natsuki Subaru's physical body, which was inside the temple.

A young woman dressed as a maid with horns on her head.

A man with an otherworldly handsome face, dressed in a pale gold robe.

A woman dressed in wide-sleeved white brocade robes, barefoot and with feet as white as jade.

A boy with pure white hair, wearing a plaid shirt.

A muscular man wearing a fluffy, oversized sweater.

These five people are Zhongli, Guizhong, Accelerator, Sexy Prisoner, and Thor.

To see Thor appear unexpectedly.

Both Accelerator and Sexy Prisoner were quite surprised.

Thor, however, was unfazed by the surprise and laughed happily, "Recently, I discovered that ordinary skill books in the chat group can also be used by other people in the world, so I'm here to earn points too."

"Tch~~!" Accelerator curled his lip.

Zhongli ignored the others and squatted down to check Natsuki Subaru's body.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"His consciousness is not in his body."

"Hmm." Thor stared with his pale golden dragon eyes and nodded slightly in understanding.

"There is a gap here leading to the world of consciousness."

“Our group member Amy must have been pulled in.”

"Then we should not delay." Gui finally tied her hair into a ponytail and nodded slightly, looking capable.

A pale gold bell was tied to her slender wrist.

She raised her wrist and the bell slightly, then shook them gently.

"Ring ring ring~~!"

The melodious sound of bells immediately echoed throughout the temple.

Then, the scenery in front of Zhongli and the others gradually changed.

This is a vast grassland.

Several women dressed differently, but all exuding an ominous aura, stood in a circle.

Natsuki Subaru stood in the center of the circle, raising his wrist to wave to them.

"You're here!!"

Chapter 42 The Witch's Strategy

"You guys come and pull it."

Natsuki Subaru waved his arms, greeting the five group members in front of him.

Zhongli and the others immediately noticed the strange witches.

And the witches noticed them too.

"An alien from another world??" The pure white witch Echidna asked softly with a faint smile on her lips.

"A witch??" The Rock King's emperor responded softly.

"Echidna, the Witch of Greed. It's a pleasure to meet you." The witch slightly tugged at the hem of her dress and bowed. "Travelers from another world?"

“I can tell that you all seem to come from different worlds.”

Before Zhongli and the others could reply, the purple-haired witch lying on the ground nearby sighed.

"Ugh! This is so troublesome."

"Echidna, this is your contract with Subaru Natsuki. Now that I have witnessed the formation of the contract, it is time for me to leave."

"You'll have to handle the rest on your own."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body turned into pale golden particles and dissipated into the air.

Zhongli, Guizhong, and Thor all forgot to look at each other.

Two pairs of pale golden dragon eyes met a pair of crystal-clear eyes for a moment, and then both nodded slightly.

"That will just now has fallen into the depths of this dream."

Gui Zhong kindly explained the situation to Accelerator and Sexy Prisoner behind him.

Their actions did not affect the witch's activities.

"Dona-chan, I didn't expect Pazu-kun to be hiding something too. But I know you must have known all along that he would make this choice, so I won't do anything more. The rest is a private matter between you two, Pazu-kun and Dona-chan."

"Here you go, Pazu-kun."

After saying these words, the green-haired little girl skipped over to Subaru Natsuki and returned his broken arm to him.

Then the little girl turned into specks of light and disappeared from the spot.

Then came the blonde girl, who threw a punch at Natsuki Subaru filled with hearts. As the heart-shaped light and shadow passed by, Natsuki Subaru's figure returned to normal.

His broken arm was also reattached to his body.

"While it's perfectly justifiable to do things for others, you should also be kinder to yourself sometimes, Natsuki Subaru."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Subaru Natsuki's reaction, she turned into specks of light and disappeared without a trace.

“Um… Subaru-kun…” The shy pink-haired girl lowered her head, speaking haltingly, “I…think…love is…good.”

"No matter how much you grow up, please don't forget love."

"Please remember...your own heart. Please don't forget...your love for others, and the love others have for you."

To these words that left Natsuki Subaru somewhat bewildered, he could only nod slightly: "I will."

"Ah."

The pink witch smiled contentedly, then placed her hands on her chest, as if praying with her eyes closed, and slowly disappeared from the spot.

"Subaru-kun, Dona Dona, everyone's gone, so I'm leaving too." Daphne, the gluttonous witch, grinned savagely from her strange coffin and said, "If I stay here too long, I won't be able to resist eating Subaru-kun."

“By the way, Subaru-kun, I’m looking forward to you eliminating the little rabbit, you…” Golden light began to emanate from her body: “Don’t get eaten instead. The transformation between eating and being eaten is but a moment.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished without a trace.

And so, at this witch's tea party...

Only Natsuki Subaru and the Witch of Greed remained facing each other, along with five otherworldly beings watching from the sidelines.

The sudden change did not cause the Witch of Greed to show the slightest fear.

Instead, her expression turned into a hint of joy, and even her eyes revealed a strong sense of curiosity.

"An alien from another world??"

"Human? Non-human?"

Echidna smiled calmly: "There should be dragons."

“Golden vertical pupils, a faint aura of power, a vision that can see through all illusions, and those distinctive horns.” Echidna calmly discussed, “If I’m not mistaken, the girl in the maid outfit before me should be a dragon.”

"In our world, dragons are rare and sacred creatures. I never imagined that in another world, we would need to take human form and serve as maids?"

"This is something that really deserves to be studied."

After speaking of Thor, she turned her gaze to Accelerator: "This boy should be a human, a human from a technological world? But he doesn't seem to fight using technology."

The white-haired witch didn't seem very interested in Accelerator. She only said one sentence before turning her gaze to the sexy prisoner: "This one should also be human, right? His muscles are so powerful, stronger than many humans I've ever seen."
