It felt like snapping out of a daydream.

In a flash of brilliant, blinding light, around was no longer the enormous gilded throne room of Nazarick, but instead a regular high school classroom and familiar faces.

The last few ringing of the bells that signified the end of his school day resounded.

Others have all begun to return their books and writing utensils back into their bags as soon as the teacher left the room.

It was a normal scene. One he had experienced countless times before that it wouldn't have left any impression.

But after his time in Suzuki's world, such normalcy gave him a sense of nostalgia.

"I'm home..."

It took quite a bit to comfort and ensure the Floor Guardians, especially Demiurge, that they were not abandoning them and that they would return to this world sooner or later.

But even the words of the Supreme Beings were unable to ease their worries that had started to root themselves into their hearts since the moment they were abandoned by their creators.

Fortunately, after giving them a means of communication via the messaging application Yuuji had created and install them into smartphones Momonga bought from the group chat shop with his points, they finally calmed down slightly and let them leave with a lighter sense of guilt.

"Hey Raku, Yuuji, wanna go to the convenience store on our way home?"

Having made his way from his seat towards Raku and him, Shuu's voice snapped Yuuji out of his reminiscence. He wore his typical wide smile that was ever present on his bespectacled visage.

"Sorry, I have to go home and help out with some things..."

"Eh? That's no fun... How about you, Yuuji?"

"Sorry, I have plans too. Which come to think of it, I should be going now. See you!"

Yuuji quickly tidied his table, grabbed his bag, and stood up to leave.

"See you Shuu, Raku, Ai, Victoria!"

"Ah- Wait! Hah..."

"See you tomorrow."

"Mm, see you."

"Ah, yes. See you later, Yuuji!"

Yuuji quickly made his way down the stairs, through the halls, and to the side of the school building, the meeting place he and Haruka had agreed on.

It was fortunate that he didn't forget his promise to meet up with his beautiful senior and teach her basketball this afternoon after everything that had transpired during the mission.

He looked around. Thankfully, she seemed to have not arrived yet. So, he took out his phone, using the chance to chat a bit with Aika and the rest of his girlfriends he had missed so dearly.

But then, a notification from the group chat caught his attention.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations for completing the mission!!!

World: [Overlord]

Mission(s):

Become an Adamantite class adventurer.

Obtain 1 World-Tier Item

Subjugate the Evil Organization

Subjugate at least one nation.(Special Mission: 5000 GCP)Additional 5000 GCP for each additional nation subjugated for each participant.

For completing all three missions and subjugating the Kingdom of Re-Estize, the Kingdom of Carne, and the Baharuth Empire, you have been awarded 18000 Group Chat Points and a free 10+1x Draw Gacha Ticket! The power you have received during this mission will also be permanently available to you when you return!

Good work! Please await your next mission!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuuji froze for a moment when he finally saw the final calculations on the amount of GCP reward he gained from the mission.

Eighteen thousand group chat points... Although he had calculated it before, receiving such a massive amount of points still shocked him.

He had ten thousand points initially, and used three thousand points to buy the AI blueprint from the shop, which became Ai, and bought a cleansing potion for Karen's mother for a thousand points. Then, he gained six thousand from completing the missions in Lelouch's world.

Now, he received another eighteen thousand points, putting him at thirty one thousand points!

He can now buy an SSR skill instantly, or is just a few thousand points away from being able to buy the more expensive SSR-ranked skills!

'I should start asking for suggestions from them tonight.'

His lips curled in anticipation. He couldn't wait to ask them and receive their suggestions.

"Ah, that's right. I haven't told the others we're back yet."

He opened the group chat and typed away.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Guys, we're back from the mission!"

Shiba Tatsuya: "Welcome back."

C.C: "Welcome back."

Chiba Erika: "Hey, welcome back! Are you guys fine?"

Satoru Suzuki: "We've all fortunately returned safely and completed all the missions incredibly well! We even got 3x the reward for subjugating Re-Estize, Baharuth, and Carne!"

Satoru Suzuki: "It's all thanks to Yuuji-kun, Lelouch-kun, and Aika-kun! I almost didn't do anything but act along with their plans."

Shiba Tatsuya: "Carne? Isn't it a village? How would it count to the tally?"

Lelouch Lamperouge: "Things went a bit differently from the anime. During our mission, Carne rose up and rebelled against the Kingdom and established a kingdom themselves. Then, they became a vassal state of Nazarick the moment we created our own kingdom."

Chiba Erika: "Really? That's really unexpected... What caused it?"

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "It seems like it's because we saved the Swords of Darkness, the little adventuring party, from getting killed by that crazy former member of the black scripture. They started the spark that would later be a full-blown rebellion when they killed some noble nobody who's making a mess in some other village."

Lelouch Lamperouge: "We didn't expect it to become this big. But thanks to them, Carne became a Kingdom and we got another kingdom to the list. It also made subjugating Re-Estize much easier."

C.C: "I'm glad you've all returned safely."

C.C: "What about the new member? I'm curious to see who you've invited. Is it Albedo?"

----------------------------------------------------------------

'How did she know? '

Yuuji couldn't help but be shocked by C.C's message.

Did Aika already contact her before this and tell her who they've invited?

But... Aika hasn't appeared in the group chat yet...

Just as he was wondering, a new message came to the group chat.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Love-Struck Succubus: "Greetings. I am Albedo, Floor Guardian Overseer of Nazarick. It is a tremendous honor to meet everyone, friends of the great Supreme Beings."

Chiba Erika: "Ah, it's really her! Welcome!"

Shiba Tatsuya: "Welcome, Albedo."

Kiryuu Aika: "Welcome to the group chat, Albedo~! We're so happy to have you!"

Kiryuu Aika: "You don't have to talk so politely here! We're all friends and comrades now! You don't need to treat us as Supreme Beings here!"

Suzuki Satoru: "Yes. Treat us as you would your fellow guardians, Albedo. As comrades and friends. You may also call me Satoru in the future."

Tsubakihara yuuji: "That's right. You can relax here, Albedo. Also, if you wish, you can change your nickname in this group. I've texted you how privately."

Albedo: "Thank you, Satoru-sama and my love. And thank you very much everyone for welcoming me. While it may take a bit of time to get used to everything, I will do my best to treat everyone as you wish."

C.C: "You can take it slow. I'm sure it's a lot for you to process."

Albedo: "I will. Thank you very much, C.C."

Albedo: "There's something I'd like to ask you as well, if you don't mind. How do you know I am the one invited to this group? Do you, perhaps, have the ability of foresight?"

C.C: "Everyone who knows Yuuji will know that he'll get another lover or two during his mission. And judging by his taste and your capabilities, it's not difficult to guess that you'll be the one invited."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Reading C.C's message, Yuuji didn't know if he should be sad that his own beloved would think of him in such a way, or if he should be happy that she understood him so well...

It's worse that he couldn't deny her words... After all, every time he went on a mission, there'd always be a girl or two he'd fall in love with without fail...

He didn't regret falling for them, but... he should increase the attention he's paying to his lovers even more.

It's the least he could do to repay them for accepting him for who he was, harem and all.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Albedo: "I see. Thank you very much for your praise. Are you, perhaps, his lover as well, C.C?"

C.C: "Yes, I am. Erika here is also his lover. And there are also several other girls in our worlds who's his lover as well."

Albedo: "I see. I'd love to meet them one day."

Kiryuu Aika: "Yes, that's a good idea~! Let's all gather one day and talk about how bad this hentai harem protagonist wolf is!"

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "...Aika."

Kiryuu Aika: "What is it, darling~ You know I'm right~ But you're also super lucky to have understanding girls like us~ If we're not, you'd have hell to pay right now~"

Shiba Tatsuya: "I agree. Treat them well, Yuuji. I don't even want to think what these girls could do if they're angry."

Lelouch Lamperouge: "Even we won't be able to hold them back, not that we would. So you're on your own."

Suzuki Satoru: "... Yuuji-kun. Do be careful and take care of them dearly... Otherwise, I don't think even you can bear the consequences."

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "I know! I won't do such things! I'll take care of them dearly!"

Kiryuu Aika: "Hehe~ Good! We'll look forward to your pampering!"

C.C: "I'll look forward to it. Karen's been coming to my room often as well. She misses you."

Chiba Erika: "Mayumi-senpai's been asking about you a whole lot as well. You better come here soon."

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "I will... I'll come as soon as I have time."

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "A-Anyway, shouldn't we start rolling for our gacha?"

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Albedo, you should receive a welcoming gift as well. You should open it soon."

Albedo: "Yes, my love."

Kiryuu Aika: "That's right! Let's go roll some gacha! I hope I get an SSR now~"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Yuuji went to the gacha screen. Then, after saying a small prayer for luck, he pressed the button for the Free 10+1 gacha roll.

Shining objects began to appear one by one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations~! You have received:

[SR] Circlet of Divine Protection[R] Scroll of Teleportation[R] Fuji Kawaguchiko Hot Spring Resort[UC] Sculpting Proficiency[UC] Carpentering Proficiency[UC] Gaming Proficiency[C] One million dollar prize money[C] 10% Stocks in PepC[C] Luxurious Japanese Fruit Box[C] 120 inch 4k Laser TV[C] 100 Hectares of Farmland in Gifu

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Ah... Gacha gods, I'm not expecting another SSR. But... isn't this too much...?'

This time, the results were... subpar. Perhaps even a bit disappointing when compared to his previous rolls.

There were a bunch of common random items, sculpting, carpentering, and gaming proficiencies, a consumable rare magic item which teleports him and six of his friends to teleport instantly once, and an SR Circlet of Divine Protection, which effects he already has as part of his Divine Physique and the new powers he gained from the Overlord mission.

Thankfully, his [Lucky] trait from his [Divine Physique] allowed him one chance to reroll the results of his gacha roll.

So, without hesitation, he pressed the reroll button and prayed for the best once more...

'Come on... Wait. Oh? It's not bad!'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations~! You have received:
