The parent-child activity officially began. Kaito, dressed in his black camouflage uniform, saw a dimensional tunnel appear before him.
After entering, he was plunged into darkness for a moment. When his consciousness returned, he found himself inside an airplane cabin.
Very coincidentally, sitting next to him was Akina, whom he had video chatted with before.
"Oh? It's starting already?"
Kaito spoke up. The others around also reacted, then unbuckled their seatbelts and stood up one after another.
Besides Akina beside him, Irisviel, Kie, and Shodai had also come without bringing their children.
The rest were: Tearju bringing her daughter, Eve (Yami-chan).
Sephie bringing her three daughters Lala, Nana, and Momo.
Mika bringing Ako.
Sayuri bringing Eriri.
Finally, Misuzu bringing Mikoto.
Everyone was wearing various camouflage outfits, exploration outfits, or mountaineering outfits. Only Sephie and her four daughters wore white military uniforms.
Eriri subconsciously touched her head, then sighed speechlessly.
The steel helmet was as expected gone. She had thought it could protect her head and also be used to hold water, cook soup, etc.
Unfortunately, the chat group didn't allow it.
"Ahem, everyone. Since this is our first offline meeting, how about we all introduce ourselves?"
"I'll go first. My name is Kaito. I'm the only guy who accidentally joined the chat group. During the upcoming island adventure, I'll do my best to protect you all and help us complete the missions."
"By the way, my ability is controlling rocks and stuff."
Kaito looked around. Seeing that everyone was looking at each other and no one spoke up first, he had to take the initiative.
This situation was actually quite normal.
Online, everyone could talk freely, throw heavy punches, and even discuss bold topics.
But when meeting offline, due to unfamiliarity and inner potential shyness, they would fall silent.
Only those with slightly more courage and stronger social skills could quickly adapt to this situation.
Kaito was like that. During his university internship, he had worked in sales, so his skin was a bit thicker and his courage was much greater.
"My turn~ Hello everyone, we can finally meet offline! My name is Irisviel von Einzbern. Please take care of me from now on. Let's overcome the difficulties together!"
"Oh, and I can use various Magecraft~ If anyone gets hurt, you can also come to me~"
Irisviel picked up the conversation after Kaito. With her natural personality, she wasn't shy and quickly introduced herself.
Then came Sephie.
The last descendant of the 'Charmian' race, the most beautiful in the universe. She hadn't drawn any superpower from the Gacha, but she herself possessed the ability to make any man who saw her lose their reason, and it was also effective on animals.
Even so, she could also use words to calm everyone down.
Overall, it was a rather contradictory ability.
It could make men lose their reason, but also restore their calm. This ability was indeed strange.
Kaito looked at her and couldn't help but be captivated by her appearance. But fortunately, he was well-traveled and, after being tempered by the internet, he had experienced many battles, so he quickly calmed down.
Hmm, a mature man is just this composed.
He could fantasize in his mind, but would absolutely never show it on his face. He was as calm as could be.
'Damn it, brother, fight for me!!!'
'Don't you dare drop the ball at the most critical moment!!!'
"Uh... I, my name is Izumi Shodai. I'm just a very, very ordinary person. The only thing I'm good at is drawing."
"Hello everyone, my name is Kamado Kie. Very pleased to meet everyone and embark on this adventure together. I have a superpower that allows me to control the water element, but it's not very high level. Besides that, my physical body might be a bit stronger than an ordinary person's..."
"Hehe, my turn, everyone! My name is Sawamura Sayuri. As the newest member of the chat group, please take care of me from now on. Oh, and this is my daughter, Sawamura Eriri~ She's an amazing artist!"
When Sayuri introduced herself, she deliberately pushed her daughter, who was hiding behind her, to the front. And when she said the last sentence, she was completely staring at Kaito.
But what made Kaito curious was that Eriri's full name was supposed to be Sawamura Spencer Eriri? Why was her father's surname missing?
The reason the father's surname was in the middle was because the man had married into the family.
Just like Akina's husband.
Speaking of which, Sayuri and Shodai definitely had something in common – they were both otaku girls.
"Misaka Misuzu. My superpower is electromagnetism. This is my daughter, Misaka Mikoto. Her superpower is lightning!"
"Mom, Mom... don't push me to the front..."
It was Misuzu's turn. She also introduced herself without any stage fright, and then pushed her daughter Mikoto to the front, just like Sayuri.
And like Sayuri, she deliberately introduced her to Kaito.
This obviously showed that both of them had the same idea!
Finally, the last two, Akina and Mika, introduced themselves.
However, when Mika introduced her daughter, Tamaki Ako, her daughter suddenly hid with a swoosh.
It wasn't until Mika helplessly dragged her out that everyone got to meet her daughter.
"Mom, you lied to me! This isn't a virtual online game world at all! You tricked me QAQ!!"
As a hardcore game otaku girl, the first thing she did upon arriving was to desperately try to summon the game menu, open her backpack, or cast skills.
But the result?
Nothing!
She pinched herself, and found it hurt!
No matter how she touched herself, it didn't feel like the sensation of a virtual online game world at all!!
After realizing this, Ako regretted it. What she longed for was life in a game!
And what were they all doing on this airplane? She had a bad feeling!!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!
[Attention, ladies and gentlemen, passengers on this flight!]
[Due to our aircraft encountering strong convective air currents, causing turbulence, please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. The restrooms will also be closed.]
Rumble rumble rumble—!!
[Please all passengers as soon as possible...]
"Alright, stop acting. If we're going to crash, just crash already."
[...]
[Okay, starting the crash.]
"???"
'Wait, I was just making a sarcastic comment!?'
At this moment, everyone around involuntarily turned their gaze towards Kaito, who had spoken earlier.
'Oh dear...'
'But to be fair, I can't take the blame for this. Someone must have thought of something bad for this to happen!'
