After helping Mary and Hanako complete their purification rituals, it was already close to dawn.
Shirakawa had grown far more adept at wielding Purification.
His energy level? Maxed out.
Forget two spirits—he could probably handle four at this point. Even if the remaining ghost girls from the short spin-off showed up, he'd stand tall and declare:
"Who else wants some?!"
"Finally time to check in."
As the clock ticked from 23:59 to 00:00, Shirakawa stretched out lazily on the bed—his head resting on Hanako-chan's ample pillows.
Soft and warm.
He opened the Dimensional Chat Group interface with high hopes. Given the flood of @s he'd received, it wasn't surprising the group had something big going on.
The Points Exchange Shop had officially opened.
Although the available goods weren't abundant, a few stood out: physical enhancement boosts, a 7-day world anchor pass and magic-powered body refinement...
But what truly caught his eye—
A chance to go to the "Konosuba" world.
It would cost 50 points to enter. According to the timeline of Konosuba, waiting around for a quest opportunity would be tough.
Still, his goal was merely to awaken a class—nothing too complex.
Group Chat Buzz
Aqua: @Normal High School Student You online? Check-in time! My luck's definitely the best today!!
Railgun: This physical enhancement item... looks interesting. Bit pricey on the points though.
Future Holy Sword Wielder: Wish they had more items... maybe something like a secret technique to awaken as a swordmaster?
Gabriel: Luck will surely smile on you, @Aqua
Saeko: I hope boosting physical stats helps break through my swordsmanship plateau...
[Current online members detected: 10]
[Limited-Time Check-In is now open.]
And just like that, the lively chat went silent.
[Mistress of the Butterfly Estate has checked in – received 8 points.]
[Gabriel has checked in – received 25 points.]
[Mai Sakurajima has checked in – received 11 points.]
[Saeko Busujima has checked in – received 7 points.]
...
[Aqua has checked in – received 1 point.]
Mistress of the Butterfly Estate: Looks like I'll need another 7 or 8 days to save enough for basic physical enhancement...
Gabriel: So these points are actually useful? Can we get a point-trading system? I'm running low on pocket money...
Mai: If "physical enhancement" makes me bulk up, I'll pass.
Aqua: ONE POINT?! AGAIN?! I demand a redo in the name of the goddess of water!!
Normal High School Student: You might want to awaken your class first, then check your luck stat. Especially since you're... you know.
Naturally, Shirakawa was thinking ahead. They'd meet Aqua soon anyway—so a casual reminder wasn't out of line.
He shifted his attention to the Check-In.
After yesterday's experience, this time he operated with smooth familiarity.
"Check in."
[Normal High School Student has checked in – received 31 points.]
"...Huh?"
Staring at the result, Shirakawa sat up straight, his head leaving Hanako-chan's Mountain pillows.
He couldn't believe it.
"Already enough points... for the isekai transfer?!"
Even the other members were stunned. His point count beat Gabriel, who claimed to be a literal angel.
Railgun: Based on your theory just now, @Normal HighSchool Student, what's your Luck stat? If points are tied to that...
Aqua: LOOK AT THIS GUY!!
Aqua: I don't believe this! I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild tomorrow! I refuse to accept that my Luck stat is lower than his!
Butterfly House Master: @Normal High School Student, if you decide to get body enhancement, please report back with detailed results?
Normal High School Student: I'm thinking of visiting the another world first. If I can become an adventurer there, that'd be a solid start.
Naturally, Shirakawa didn't hide his choice—after all, the world he was headed to belonged to Aqua. It wasn't like he could keep that under wraps anyway.
Ignoring the continued chatter, he focused on the Shop.
[Temporary World Anchor (7 Days)]
Price: 50 Points
Effect: Select a member's world from the Dimensional Chat Group. You'll be transported to that world and bound to a local "anchor point" for 7 days.
During this time, you can freely transfer in and out.
"Use 50 points to purchase this item?"
"Confirm purchase."
Without hesitation, Shirakawa locked it in.
As his points were deducted, a new interface appeared:
[Choose world anchor location – select from available members' worlds:]
"Busujima Saeko": Highschool of the Dead world.
"Railgun": ACertain Magical Index world.
"Mistress of the Butterfly Estate": DemonSlayer world.
"Aqua": Konosuba world.
"Konosuba, huh…"
Shirakawa couldn't help but feel intrigued by Megumin's "Arch Wizard" class. If he could somehow acquire her signature "Explosion Magic", his level progression would skyrocket.
The anchor point for dimensional transmission quickly locked onto the Konosuba world. Now, in the group chat's teleportation menu, there was a new addition alongside Goblin Slayer:
[Konosuba World (7 days)]
"Seven days should be enough... I'll head out tomorrow."
He had no plans to leave right away. All the parallel worlds in the dimensional group had synchronized time flows, which meant Shirakawa now had a far more pressing concern:
As a normal high school student, how was he supposed to ask his homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, for leave on a Monday?
