Chapter 33 : Black Belly
"Princess of the Black Belly: Hello~"
As the chat was in the midst of a lively discussion, the new member spoke up.
"Mikoto Misaka: Hey! What's with that nickname? Uchiha-San, explain this!"
"Yuno Gasai: A princess? Not a hero? If so, you can leave; this isn't the right group for you."
"Yami: Princess? Does she control a galaxy?"
"Inori Yuzuhira: Hello."
"Mikoto Misaka: Seriously, are you all just ignoring the 'Black Belly'? Why are you only concerned about that? And Uchiha-San, I know you're there, respond!"
Mikoto stared at the floating screen in disbelief. The fact that a new member had appeared surprised her, but what surprised her even more was their nickname.
She already knew that for some specific reason, each member had a nickname, possibly tied to their personality. The same had happened with Yuno, who was the most intense among the members.
"Yuno Gasai: Yuki, this woman is a princess. Women of her kind don't deserve to be with humble people like us. Please, kick her out."
"Princess of the Black Belly: Well, it seems you don't want me here. I don't recall offending you, miss."
"Yuno Gasai: Just being in this group is an offense and a serious crime by wasting time with my beloved Yuki."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Can you all stop?"
Yuki had a headache. Having to speak again in the chat was a clear sign that his peaceful days were about to end. And for some reason, the system wanted him to show more communication with the heroes. Yet, Yuki still responded to all of Yuno's messages every day.
He was surprised too. Yuno's world was altered to have a 1:100 speed, allowing her to send more than 10 messages daily. It was somewhat terrifying just to count the number of messages Yuno sent daily.
A slight shiver ran down his spine, and now, with this new member and her nickname, it only gave him a headache.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): For now, new member, why don't you change your nickname to your real name like everyone else here? Is that too much to ask, Your Highness?"
"Princess of the Black Belly: No problem, but could you tell me your nickname and everyone else's? Also, it's not fair that everyone knows my nickname, and I don't know theirs. I'm a bit curious."
The teenager was curious about the nicknames they had given her. For some reason, she felt a clear attachment to it, as if this chat room was describing her.
And if that were true, what were the nicknames of all the members? She felt she needed to know this.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Well, there's no harm if you know. Everyone, please reveal your nickname so we can continue with this. Thank you... My nickname is 'Emperor of Time.'"
"Yuno Gasai: Well, if Yuki says so, mine is 'Love Sick.'"
"Mikoto Misaka: Do you really want to know that? I wonder what's going on in your head. This nickname is very annoying; I won't repeat it... Biri-biri."
"Inori Yuzuhira: Guilty Crown."
"Yami: Golden Darkness."
She looked with interest at each member's nickname.
(Emperor of Time? So it's His Majesty) After seeing each nickname, she couldn't help but be speechless about Yuno's nickname.
(Love Sick?) Even as a princess, it was the first time she had seen something like that, and with how intense her attitude was, she thought this nickname suited her well.
[Princess of the Black Belly changed her name to La Folia.]
"La Folia: Haha, this is very amusing. I'm glad I joined."
"Yuno Gasai: Not me!"
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Welcome, Your Highness La Folia. Now, I'd like you to read the chat instructions so we can continue."
Yuki decided to ignore the minor clash between Yuno and La Folia. It was obvious that the princess didn't take Yuno's messages seriously; it seemed like she was having fun.
After a few minutes, La Folia sent another message.
"La Folia: I never thought that alternate and parallel worlds like this exist. Haha, that's interesting. Besides, I'm a heroine too... By the way, Yuki-sama, it's a pleasure from now on, *Bowing Image* Jpg."
"Misaka Mikoto: Hey, what rank are you? Is it true that you're a princess? How old are you?..."
Mikoto seized this opportunity to interrogate her, bombarding her with questions. Yuki gave a thumbs up to Mikoto; this was something he wanted to know too.
"La Folia: Ara~ Misaka-San, my rank is second. Yes, I am a true princess of the Aldegyren Kingdom. As for my age... It's a secret~"
La Folia put a finger to her lips while mentally calculating. She could discern Mikoto's age from her messages, just like Yuno. Both of them had sharp minds; they were not damsels of pure thoughts.
"Mikoto Misaka: What?! Second?! This is a big scam! First Yuzuhira-San, now La Folia-San? Uchiha-San, I demand a recount!"
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Just give up, Mikoto. The count won't change unless you improve your karma."
"Mikoto Misaka: I know!"
Mikoto was very frustrated; besides Yuno, she had the lowest rank.
"Yuno Gasai: Hey, Yuki, when will you come to see me? It's been 11 days, 3 hours, 25 minutes, and 34 seconds, waiting."
"Mikoto Misaka:...."
Yuki Uchiha (Champion):..."
"Yami:..."
"Inori Yuzuhira:..."
"La Folia:..."
There was an awkward silence. Yuki had a cold sweat on his face. For some reason, he couldn't help but remember a certain woman from his previous life.
Yuno's dependence grew even more, and now Yuki regretted responding to all her messages. He believed that if he hadn't manipulated the time of the worlds, Yuno's messages would have driven him insane.
La Folia's eyes lit up as she read Yuno's messages, a mischievous smile forming on her face.
"Mikoto Misaka: Wait a moment! 11 days? It's only been 27 hours!"
"Yuno Gasai: 27 hours? Are you sure? Wait... why are you counting the hours? You're not planning something."
"Mikoto Misaka: No, no, no, no, I'm not planning anything! It's just that Uchiha-San promised to come to my world in 34 hours."
Yuno Gasai: Are you trying to seduce him?
A deadly chill ran down Misaka's spine. For some reason, she was very afraid of Yuno.
The color drained from Misaka's face as she thought about the possibility. She vehemently denied it and swore that she wouldn't see Yuki in that way, especially since Yuno was so intimidating.
Although she couldn't comprehend why a mere Level 0 would frighten her so much. She didn't know what Yuki had done to make Yuno act this way, and she decided not to be fooled by Yuki. If Ino were in this chat, she would laugh at how naive Mikoto was.
Yuno Gasai: Hmm.
Yuno, of course, didn't believe Mikoto. She put her hand on her chin and started devising a plan to eliminate every woman in the chat room.
Yami: It's been 11 days.
Inori Yuzuhira: Same for me.
Fortunately for Mikoto, Yami and Inori broke the tense atmosphere.
Mikoto Misaka: You too? What's going on, Uchiha-San?
Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Time and space are altered; that's why time is different in your respective worlds.
Mikoto Misaka:...You know, I won't ask anymore. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Yami: Same here.
Inori Yuzuhira: Same for me. x2
Yuno Gasai: Hmm~ Yuki, you'll come, right? Or give me your approval; I'll go to your world.
Yuki wasn't sure what to say. He was very indecisive about it. The amount of trouble Yuno would bring him was enormous. Sighing heavily, Yuki thought he should pay a visit to Yuno; after all, her world is 'normal.'
Yuki Uchiha (Champion): I'll come to your world in 2 days, don't worry.
Doing a quick mathematical calculation, 2 days in Yuno's world meant 200 days in his. It was enough time to hunt down Danzo's snake. Even though the trip to Mikoto's world was less than a year, he thought he wouldn't stay with Yuno for too long.
How wrong he was.
Yuno Gasai: Yay! I'll be ready! I love you, Yuki... You're mine!
It wasn't certain whether Yuno wrote these messages unconsciously or not, but she looked happy.
Yuki scratched his cheek, deciding that he needed to have a serious talk with this woman. However, while Yuno was happy, La Folia smiled at this. A thought sparkled in her mind before she mentally wrote.
La Folia: I also hope you come to my world, Yuki-sama. My parents would like to talk to my future husband, after all.
Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Eh?
The chat room fell into complete silence. Yuki opened his mouth in shock; the happiness in Yuno's eyes stopped, and Mikoto's eyes widened. Inori had confusing thoughts about it.
But one person was waiting for the end of this; after all, their stomach was growling, and their reward was delayed. This person was Yami.
Yuno Gasai: Husband? What do you mean, you witch!? Yuki is mine!
Yuno's eyes turned fierce, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
La Folia: 'Ours,' Miss Gasai. Yuki-sama chose me as his companion, isn't that right, Yuki-sama?
Yuno Gasai: LIES! YUKI WOULD NEVER DO THAT!
La Folia: *Screenshot with the invitation message. Jpg*
Yuno Gasai:...
Yuki Uchiha (Champion):...
Mikoto Misaka:...
Inori Yuzuhira:...
Yami:...Reward?
Again, the chat room fell into silence. Misaka looked at Yuki's name.
(Playboy) She couldn't help but spit out these words.
Yuno Gasai: Yuki! What does this mean?
Is that message not yours? There's no way you proposed to this witch!
[Yuki Uchiha (Champion) is offline]
Yuki decided to escape; with how unstable Yuno's mind was, she probably wouldn't believe him about the invitation message. He decided to wait for Yuno's head to cool a bit, unaware that the chat room exploded because of it.
La Folia: I think our 'Yuki' is too happy about our marriage that he couldn't respond. Huhu.
La Folia didn't show mercy and delivered the final blow to Yuno.
Yuno Gasai: Yuki! YUKI!.. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, WITCH! IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU, YUKI WOULDN'T DISCONNECT!...YOU DESERVE TO DIE! DIE! DIE! @#@$&#$#
Yuno's mind shattered, and the amount of insults and curses were so great that even the chat room couldn't decipher them.
Mikoto Misaka: We're losing her! Someone do something!
Inori Yuzuhira: I...
[Inori Yuzuhira is offline]
[Yami is offline]
Mikoto Misaka: Hey! Don't leave!
Yuno Gasai: @#$#$$##$
La Folia: Huhu.
[La Folia is offline]
Mikoto Misaka: Hey, wait!
Yuno Gasai: #@$@#$
Misaka was left speechless as everyone fled. However, what surprised her the most was La Folia's shameless laughter. It was obvious that she had trolled Yuno.
Now she understood why there was 'Black Belly' in La Folia's nickname. She shook her head, thinking of a certain blonde woman with starry eyes.
A princess and a queen, both with shitty personalities.
And La Folia?
She was now holding her stomach from laughter, tears accumulating in her eyes. She couldn't help but think about how easy it was to fool Yuno.
