In Toriko With A Chat Group

"Would you like to join the Axis Cult? Join now, and we'll even give you a bar of soap!"

"Big brother, come join the Axis Cult and have fun with me!"

"Aren't you that guy? I'm Sisi. We used to be classmates, right? You don't recognize me anymore, huh? Ever since I joined the Axis Cult, I've changed so much. You should join too!"

[Enduring relentless harassment has strengthened your mental fortitude, and your willpower has slightly improved.]

"I finally understand why the merchants leave immediately after handling their goods. Every minute spent here is like training my mental endurance!"

Kei listened to the endless recruitment slogans buzzing in his ears. Even with his resilient willpower, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. However, the prompt echoing in his mind kept him motivated.

"If I stay here long enough, my mental strength will definitely reach new heights!"

As Kei thought about this, a little girl suddenly ran toward him and accidentally bumped into him as she passed by.

Kei remained standing without any issues, but the little girl was sent flying away.

"Ah!"

The little girl let out a pained cry and fell to the ground.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Kei looked at the little girl lying on the ground and asked.

"I'm fine. Sorry for bumping into you, big brother."

The little girl stood up, patted the dust off her body, and then put on a pitiful expression.

"It's okay. Just don't run so fast next time."

Kei replied.

"Big brother, you're such a nice person. What's your name?"

The little girl asked with an innocent smile.

"Hata Kei."

"Hmm, I'm not sure which characters those are. Can you write them down on paper, big brother?"

The little girl took out a piece of paper and a pen from behind her and handed them to Kei.

[Your mind has been trained. Your willpower has slightly improved.]

Kei took a deep breath and accepted the Axis Cult membership form from the little girl, putting it into his pocket.

"Little sister, tell your friends to come at me all they want! Let the storm come even harder! I want to see whether your faith is stronger or if my willpower is tougher!"

Kei felt an unprecedented challenge. What's a bit of harassment? He had faced far worse and was never afraid of anything!

...

When renting a room at the inn.

"Young man, I see dark omens on your face. This is a terrible sign!"

"Join the Axis Cult immediately and believe in the Goddess of Water. Only then can you purify your misfortune!"

The innkeeper spoke.

"No need, I'm an adventurer! No matter what kind of danger, I will face it calmly! Even if I have to traverse seas of fire or mountains of blades, I will do so with a smile!"

Kei took the membership application from the innkeeper and placed it with the others.

"Old lady, these little tricks won't work on me. Bring more people if you want!"

"Tell them I'm provoking you! Let's see if you can break my will or if I can shatter your faith!"

"Young man, don't be so arrogant. This is the headquarters of the Axis Cult. Do you even know how many of us there are?"

"Within three days, you will definitely join us!"

The old lady's eyes sparkled with fanaticism. It was her first time encountering someone daring enough to challenge them. Very well, she was fired up!

...

While having dinner.

"Hey, brother, have you heard of the Goddess of Water, Aqua? She's a perfect goddess!"

A bard approached Kei, speaking with a dramatically exaggerated tone.

"Brother, have you heard of the Goddess Eris? Her church is the national religion. So, what can the Axis Cult compare to that?"

Kei countered.

The bard's face darkened, then he spat on the ground beside him.

"Bah! The Dark Goddess Eris! Her followers are nothing but trash!"

Cursing, the bard stormed off. He had no other choice; the reputation of the Axis Cult was indeed terrible.

Compared to the national religion of the Eris Church, the Axis Cult simply couldn't compete!

"Brother, you forgot something. The membership application is my trophy. Adding yours, that makes it three wins in a row!"

Kei walked over, took a membership application from the bard, and placed it in a conspicuous spot on himself.

After doing all that, he returned to his room.

"So fast!"

The bard touched his pocket and realized one application was indeed missing. His face showed a look of surprise.

He hadn't felt Kei touching him at all, yet the other party had so easily taken the application. Truly impressive!

"Hmph! That guy is deliberately provoking us!"

"He's intentionally taking our membership applications and putting them in a noticeable spot, just to show us that we cannot shake his willpower!"

"Good! Very good! I've never encountered such a stubborn and arrogant opponent! I accept the challenge!"

A woman dressed as a nun said with determination.

"Mobilize everyone! We must bring this man into the Axis Cult!"

"Yeah!"

Everyone was instantly excited, their spirits fired up, ready to use all kinds of methods to win over Kei.

...

At three in the morning.

Kei's door was knocked on. When he opened the door, a shy, pitiful-looking girl stood outside. When she saw Kei, she displayed a slightly startled expression.

"Uh, um... Is there something you need help with? I... I..."

The girl looked extremely shy. Her beautiful face, combined with her bashful and timid demeanor, made one want to tease her mercilessly.

"Do you need help?"

Kei asked.

"Um, no, no... I... I'm here to serve you."

The girl showed a panicked expression but secretly signaled her companions to be ready to jump out at any moment.

'Heh! What can a brat like you fight me with? Once you're completely bewitched by me, I'll have you sign that membership application!'

'And then... Haha, I can't wait to see your embarrassed face when you realize who I really am.'

The girl thought to herself.

"Oh, so you provide that kind of service, huh? Then you..."

Kei opened the door a bit wider. The girl grew excited as the door continued to open. When it was fully opened—

"Hey, everyone, come and look! An Axis Cult nun is out doing such things in the middle of the night! The Axis Cult has truly fallen!"

Kei suddenly shouted. He had already noticed her at dinner, dressed as a nun.

Seeing her now, he immediately recognized her identity.

"Shhh! This inn isn't just filled with our people; there are many genuine guests and travelers here!"

"If this gets out, our reputation will be even worse!"

The nun tried to cover Kei's mouth, but he dodged. She immediately used a pleading tone.

"Hehehe, if you want me to stop, you know what to do, right?"

Kei grinned.

The nun showed a look of shame and helplessly nodded. "I will do it. Please, I beg you not to shout!"
