NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 4: CHAPTER 3
Light-Shadow Master : Date a Live is for Kurumi. Meanwhile, Naruto is for Mei.
Nightmare : Ara ara~ Thank you, Leader.
Lava Kiss : Thank you, Leader.
The group members then focused on the memory fragments sent by Shido.
Shido, seeing this, simply shrugged.
He glanced at the ceiling, now painted orange by the sunset. It signaled the end of the day.
"Ugh... Alright, time to head home~," Shido muttered.
He then left for his family mansion.

POV 1
I'm currently in my own room.
Cid and I had separate rooms starting at the age of 11.
My room is pretty standard, with a study desk, a bookshelf, a wardrobe, and, of course, a bed.
Right now, I'm reading a book after taking a bath and having dinner.
As I flip through the pages, I suddenly remember the chat group I haven't checked in on for a while.
I opened the group chat immediately, greeted by a flood of notifications.
Weren't they always online when I left them?
---
POV 3
Nightmare : @Light-Shadow_Master Leader, where are you? We want to ask something.
Light-Shadow Master : I'm here. Sorry, I just got back online.
Light-Shadow Master : So, what were you guys discussing while I was gone?
Lava Kiss : Leader, is this true? Kirigakure is about to face a civil war?!
Shido sighed. "I figured Mei would be this shocked."
Light-Shadow Master : It's true, so you'd better start preparing for the civil war.
Lava Kiss : You're right. I need to gather reliable forces.
Nightmare : Leader, in the memory fragment, I fell in love with a loser like him?
Nightmare : It makes me nauseous!
Light-Shadow Master : Phantom, or Takamia Mio, created Spirit Cores to turn humans into Spirits.
Light-Shadow Master : These cores are vessels to help her lover, Takamia Shinji, who is now Itsuka Shido.
Nightmare : So Phantom has been deceiving those girls all along?
Light-Shadow Master : Yes... you could say that. So, what's your plan?
Light-Shadow Master : I suggest gathering your strength before confronting her.
Nightmare : Ara ara~ Thank you for the advice, Leader~
Light-Shadow Master : Oh, Kurumi, I have information that might be valuable to you.
In the world of DAL, inside an apartment in some city, Kurumi read the message, confused.
"Valuable information? Could it be about how to kill Phantom? Or something else?" she wondered aloud.
"Well, I'll just ask the Leader directly."
Nightmare : What information do you have, Leader?
Light-Shadow Master : It's about your best friend, Sawa Yamauchi.
Kurumi froze, as if her mind had just been struck by a bombshell.
Nightmare : W-What do you mean, Leader?!
Light-Shadow Master : I mean, your best friend Sawa Yamauchi is still alive.
Nightmare : You must be joking! I—I killed her with my own hands because of Phantom!
Light-Shadow Master : No, not at all. I'm serious. Your friend is alive.
Light-Shadow Master : She's currently in Rinkai (Neighboring World).
Nightmare : How can you be so sure?
Without hesitation, Shido sent a memory fragment from Date a Bullet.
[DING]
[The Leader has shared a memory fragment from the Date a Bullet series.]
Light-Shadow Master : If you don't believe me, watch it.
The group immediately watched the memory fragment that Shido had just shared.
While waiting for their reactions, Shido played with his fidget spinner, which, of course, was an artifact he had discovered.
An hour later, a message popped up.
Nightmare : Is this for real?!
Light-Shadow Master : Of course. But to enter Rinkai, you'll need Rasiel.
Nightmare : Rasiel? The Angel that holds all the secrets of the world?
Light-Shadow Master : Yes, and its owner is Nia Honjo.
Nightmare : Is entering Rinkai really that difficult?
Light-Shadow Master : Yes, it is. Without Rasiel, it's almost impossible. Rasiel knows the way to enter Rinkai.
Nightmare : Ara ara~ I see~ Thank you for the information, Leader~
Lava Kiss : I have no idea what you're talking about.
The Princess of Song : Same here.
Lava Kiss : But we get the gist of it.
Light-Shadow Master : So? Do you have any other questions?
Lava Kiss : I'm currently gathering forces to fight Mizukage and Uchiha Obito.
Light-Shadow Master : That's good. Also, be wary of Black Zetsu.
Light-Shadow Master : And I suppose you'll be shaken when you find out who's really behind it.
Lava Kiss : Honestly, I was a little shaken. I never imagined that a member of the Uchiha Clan would cause such a large-scale war.
Lava Kiss: All because of losing someone he loved to his best friend.
Light-Shadow Master : That's also because Kiri—I mean, Uchiha Madara—and Black Zetsu used Rin as the Jinchuriki for Isobu.
Lava Kiss : Yes... That's true.
Lava Kiss : I was also surprised to learn that the tailed beasts have their own names!
Light-Shadow Master : Of course, they have names.
Light-Shadow Master : Shukaku (Ichibi), Matatabi (Nibi), Isobu (Sanbi), Son Gokū (Yonbi), Kokuō (Gobi),
Saiken (Rokubi), Chōmei (Nanabi), Gyūki (Hachibi), and Kurama (Kyūbi).
Lava Kiss : I was shocked when I saw the memory fragment. They don't want to be treated as weapons!
The Princess of Song : But what really shocked me is—
The Princess of Song : My childhood friend chasing after his stupid dream!
Light-Shadow Master : I know you hate pirates.
Light-Shadow Master : But the memory fragment I sent is just a small piece.
The Princess of Song : W-What do you mean? You still have memory fragments from my world?!
Light-Shadow Master : Yup, I do~
Shido then sent a memory fragment about One Piece.
[DING]
[The Leader has shared a memory fragment from One Piece.]
After sharing the memory, all the members immediately focused on watching it.
Feeling left out as the group became engrossed in the memories, Shido returned to reading his book.
---
The next morning, after his training and breakfast, Shido continued reading the book he had set aside the night before, having fallen asleep.
---
Once he finished reading, Shido opened the group chat.
Upon doing so, he saw a massive number of notifications.
The Princess of Song : That damn Luffy! Even though we have different views, when Old Man Whitebeard and Ace died, I got so angry at the World Government and the Marines!
Lava Kiss : You're right. They're all rotten.
Nightmare : Ara ara~ If I take their time, it won't be a problem, right?~
Shido, seeing Kurumi's message, could only sweat nervously. He knew Kurumi had a mischievous nature.
Light-Shadow Master : You're right, but the ones most at fault here are the Celestial Dragons.
Light-Shadow Master : Even though the Marines are supposed to be a peacekeeping force, they act like dogs licking their master's boots.
Nightmare : Ara ara~ Leader, I've found where Nia Honjo is located~
Light-Shadow Master : So, what's your plan, Kurumi?
Nightmare : I think I'll take all the harems of that loser guy~
Lava Kiss : I agree with Kurumi.
The Princess of Song : Even though I have some doubts, as fellow members, we should support each other, right?
Light-Shadow Master : Hahaha, that's right! We should protect and help each other.
Lava Kiss : Agreed!
The Princess of Song : Agreed!
Nightmare : Ara ara~ I completely agree~
They continued chatting and joking around.

POV 1
Without realizing it, we've already reached the age of 15.
At this age, both Cid and I are set to start our lives at the Academy.
Right now, I'm packing my belongings for the Academy dormitory.
I have no idea what plans Cid might have.
But I hope he's outgrown his middle-school-syndrome delusions~
Though I know that's probably impossible...
As I packed my things, I remembered a book Alpha gave me.
I quickly opened my desk drawer and grabbed the book.
I placed it into my suitcase.
Speaking of Alpha, I miss her~
It's been a while since we last met....
I hope she's doing well.
These past two years, nothing particularly exciting has happened.
Everything has gone as usual~
---
Now that my suitcase is neatly packed with my necessities for the Academy, I was about to head downstairs when suddenly, a notification from the system appeared.
[DING]
