Chapter 49: Chapter 49: You Weren’t Like This Before, Hokama Yukio Really Is...
When Natsumi Tachibana had just regained consciousness, Carl had already received the [System Notification].
At that time…
Carl wasn't actually in a hurry to leave.
After all, he didn't have anything pressing to do. Hanging around in this world a bit longer sounded fine. Maybe he'd even find something good to eat.
However,
When he saw Natsumi awake and chatting with Tsukasa and Yusuke, he changed his mind.
Especially when he saw their joy and relief, the feeling of surviving a crisis and reuniting safely with companions.
Carl felt like it was probably time for him to go.
Originally, he'd thought:
Carl (thinking): If I'm leaving, I should at least say goodbye.
But he didn't want to become the awkward third wheel.
He didn't want to ruin their moment of peace.
So, Carl quietly left Decade's world… without even saying farewell.
He didn't dwell on it. It was just a small matter.
Besides, this mission had left him in a great mood.
He'd eliminated people he'd hated in his past life, and even earned a decent chunk of points.
At the moment,
Carl had accumulated over 290,000 points.
Sure, that still wasn't enough to buy those high-tier items he really needed…
But just looking at that number felt satisfying.
When Carl returned to his own world, Erika was still unconscious.
Understandable. He hadn't been gone for long.
Honestly, if he hadn't waited for Apollogeist to finish transforming, he might've come back even faster.
That moment had been especially awkward.
Carl (thinking): Is this just a villain trope in Decade's world, or what...?
Apollogeist was incredibly talkative.
When Carl arrived, the guy was still in the middle of some over-the-top speech with Kreisis's robot, going on about alliances and whatnot.
Then they fought.
Carl let him finish transforming first, then made his move,
Snatched the Dual-Sided Energy Mirror,
Knocked him out,
And dragged him away.
Now, with Erika still unconscious, Carl was feeling bored again.
Just then, he noticed someone had tagged him in the chat group.
So, he logged in.
[Group Chat Interface]
『Princess of the Senju』: Wow!
『Princess of the Senju』: Carl-kun completed the mission in style again!
『Princess of the Senju』: So fast, and the rewards are insane!
『Princess of the Senju』: Carl-kun, you're amazing!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Carl-sama, how did you clear the mission? Tell us!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: @God of the Mortal Realm
『Heavenly Blade King』: curious_face.jpg
『Shirley』: Wait… 100,000 points?
『Shirley』: He actually got that many?!
『Shirley』: Looks like my theory holds up.
『Shirley』: The chat group really motivates members to take missions, it's like collective advancement.
『Shirley』: With that many points, you could buy some seriously broken gear.
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: Uh…
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: That's partly true, but not the whole picture.
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: I can't confirm it for sure, but Tsunade's explanation makes a lot of sense.
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: Look at the notification whenever Carl-sama completes a mission,
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: There's always a performance rating.
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: And the bonus points scale with that.
『Shirley』: I noticed that too.
『Shirley』: Still, the gap is massive.
『Shirley』: Even a low-rated mission gives way more than daily log-ins.
『Commander of the Great Wall Guard』: Makes sense. You're doing real work in missions.
『Heavenly Blade King』: Ugh, I'm so jealous of Carl-sama's score…
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: +1 on the jealousy.
『Shirley』: Same. But I'm just a normal person, I probably couldn't earn that much no matter what I did.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Oof, relatable.
『Heavenly Blade King』: I feel that too.
『God of the Mortal Realm』: Honestly, this mission wasn't hard.
『God of the Mortal Realm』: One of Kamen Rider's friends had her life force drained and was on the verge of death.
『God of the Mortal Realm』: I just had to grab the artifact sucking her energy. That's all.
『Shirley』: From how you describe it, it doesn't sound tough...
『Shirley』: But "near death" and "life drain" sound terrifying to me.
『Shirley』: So doing missions really does mean putting your life on the line...
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Yup. That's why it's hard for us normal folks.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Carl-sama's first mission was resurrection.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: The second? Killing monsters called Demonspawn. Hundreds of them.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Now he's fighting life-draining enemies.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: These missions clearly aren't for everyday people like me.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: I'll just lie flat and do my daily check-ins.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: A few thousand points now and then is fine.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: If Carl-sama sends out red envelopes sometimes, I might even save up for a power suit!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Isn't that what "lying flat" means now? That's totally me!
『Princess of the Senju』: Uhh...
『Princess of the Senju』: Juka-nee, didn't you give Kesha a whole pep talk the other day?
『Heavenly Blade King』: Yeah! You were the one who encouraged me last time!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: …Okay, fine.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: But seriously, those missions sound super scary!
『God of the Mortal Realm』: …
『God of the Mortal Realm』: They're really not that bad. This one was actually pretty easy.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Easy?! The enemy could drain your life!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: That's a nightmare for someone like me!
『God of the Mortal Realm』: …
Just then, Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly logged in and asked where Carl had gone.
Carl didn't hide anything. He simply told him he had returned to his own world.
The two exchanged a few brief messages,
Then Tsukasa logged off again.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Looks like that Kamen Rider guy is super grateful to Carl-sama.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: But why did he log off so fast?
『Heavenly Blade King』: Maybe it's because the mission's over?
『Princess of the Senju』: Probably.
『Shirley』: That's my guess too.
『Shirley』: Look at the mission title when it first appeared.
『Shirley』: "Rescue Natsumi Tachibana." That's obviously a girl's name.
『Shirley』: For a Kamen Rider to post a mission just for her…
『Shirley』: It's not hard to guess their relationship.
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: Ahhh, now I get it!
『Heavenly Blade King』: Ohh, so that's what it was.
『Heavenly Blade King』: Didn't expect the Kamen Rider to be such a good guy.
『Princess of the Senju』: He really is! A genuinely good person!
『What Do I Do If My Little Sister's a Chuunibyou』: +1!
