Apocalypse Chat Group: Conquering the Heroines

Feel free to check out my other works on Danmachi, One Piece, and Classroom of the Elite on my profile.

...

My name is Yukinoshita Yukino.

I'm a second-year high school student.

Today, after school, I discovered an unknown side of a classmate.

Tatsuki Hayashi.

He is my classmate.

Top of the class.

Excellent in sports.

Very handsome.

But I saw an unknown side of him with my own eyes.

A petite and fragile girl was given a stack of money by him and dragged into a dark alley.

This is sugar dating!

Also known as compensated dating!

***

After a brief silence, Yukino decided to follow them.

She couldn't just stand by and watch a classmate fall into crime.

Nor could she watch a girl fall into an abyss.

Her life principles wouldn't allow her to stand by idly and walk away as if nothing happened.

"No! Ah!"

A girl's cry of pain came from the alley.

"This is bad!"

Yukino quickly ran toward the sound.

With a swift step, she dashed forward, breathing heavily, and shouted righteously, "Hayashi-kun! Stop your illegal activities! I've already called the police!"

"Hmm?" Tatsuki turned his head in confusion.

It was obvious she was trying to stop him, but his actions did not cease; instead, he went deeper.

"Ah!"

The girl cried out in pain again.

"You..."

Yukino was about to speak.

But she was struck dumb with fear.

She thought Tatsuki had taken a step into adulthood, but his right hand had actually pierced through the girl's abdomen!

The girl was groaning in pain.

Blood was flowing and dripping everywhere.

"Murder…"

What she thought was a case of compensated dating.

Turned out to be a bloody murder scene she witnessed firsthand.

Yukino's legs began to weaken.

She wanted to escape quickly.

But her legs felt like they were nailed to the ground, refusing to move.

Before she could react, the girl's moans suddenly changed.

"Ah! You can see me! I… I… I'm going to eat you!!!"

Her initial groans turned into a sudden elongation of her neck toward Tatsuki.

She had turned into a monster!

Her mouth opened wide, revealing blood-stained sharp teeth, and aimed to bite his head off.

Tatsuki remained calm, raised his hand, and delivered a strong hit!

Smack!

The sound was loud and clear, a good hit.

The strike sent her head flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"???"

The monster's face had an intimate contact with the ground.

Its expression was bewildered, but soon enough it regained its senses.

After glancing uncertainly at Tatsuki, it turned its target toward the girl in the short skirt at the alley entrance.

Yukino shuddered violently.

The monster girl's expression was frenzied, and she babbled incoherently.

"You can see me, right? You can see me! You must be able to see me!!! I'm going to eat you!"

Without waiting for Yukino's response, she had already answered herself.

Decisively charging toward Yukino, the monster's ferocious visage and gaping mouth assaulted her psyche.

"No… don't come any closer!!!"

Yukino's mind went blank, fear engulfing her entire being.

Her body was paralyzed with terror.

She could only watch as the monster approached her.

Feeling its breath getting closer, her heartbeat pounded wildly like a drum.

She was so scared she couldn't breathe.

She felt like she was suffocating.

"Yin Lightning!"

A clear voice rang out.

Black fluid-like substance flowed from Tatsuki's hand and spread along the monster girl's pierced body.

In the blink of an eye, the monster girl's entire body was enveloped by the black substance.

In the next moment.

"Zzz-bzzt zzz-bzzt."

In the dark, narrow alley.

Black lightning burst forth!

The buzzing of the electric current was deafening.

...

The electric current subsided and the alley returned to its quiet state.

The monster girl's body turned to ashes as the Yin Lightning dissipated.

Only Tatsuki and Yukino remained.

Thud.

Yukino could no longer support her body and collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Her eyes were vacant, as if she had just experienced a nightmare.

While she was in a daze, Tatsuki walked up to her.

He saw her face, pale as paper yet still delicate and beautiful, and felt slightly surprised.

"Yukinoshita-san?"

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head blankly, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"You…"

"Shh…"

Her dry throat wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Tatsuki's gesture.

He made a 'shh' motion with his index finger.

Then he took off his black coat and draped it over her pale thighs, which were exposed by her school uniform skirt.

Without looking back, he walked away.

The dazed Yukino watched Tatsuki's receding figure, not understanding its meaning.

Until she prepared to get up.

"..."

Her face instantly turned as red as an apple.

Her neck and ears were covered in a blush.

It was wet and cold underneath her.

"The Apocalypse Group! The Apocalypse Group! I can finally invite people in."

Tatsuki hurriedly left for home.

The Apocalypse Chat Group, which had been dormant for a year, finally had some activity.

His Yin Lightning came from the Apocalypse Chat Group.

Eighteen years ago, Tatsuki was reincarnated from Earth.

He took on the identity of Tatsuki in this world, an orphan.

In elementary and middle school, he had a classmate named Eriri.

At first, he just thought he had crossed into "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend."

Then, by leveraging some knowledge from Earth, he made quite a bit of money as a middle schooler.

It wasn't until high school that he realized this world was unusual.

His classmate Yukinoshita Yukino.

The beautiful upperclassman Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The student council president Shinomiya Kaguya.

Goodness, it shocked him to the core.

This was actually a slice-of-life anime world!

But this conclusion was quickly overturned.

A year ago, he met a special junior.

Her name was Yotsuya Miko.

The girl who can see ghosts.

It was from that moment that he touched upon the world's secrets, the existence of extraordinary beings!

The Apocalypse Chat Group appeared at that time and invited him to join.

[The Apocalypse Chat Group has detected the presence of an apocalypse in this world, inviting you to join. Do you agree?]

Tatsuki agreed.

According to its initial introduction, it is a communication platform to resist apocalypses across all worlds.

Tatsuki was chosen because he encountered the world's apocalypse.

However.

Up until now, he was the only administrator in the chat group.

The group owner had never appeared, and there was no one to communicate with.

Fortunately, the chat group had other useful functions.

[Apocalypse Check-in], [Apocalypse Roulette], [Ability Enhancement], [Ability Recovery], [Ability Visualization].

There were five abilities in total.

Today, the Apocalypse Chat Group finally had new changes!

[Dear Administrator, you have received invitation privileges. Would you like to invite members now?]

"Yes."

Without hesitation, he made the selection.

[Member invitation successful!]

[Camera girl has joined the chat group!]

[Apple pie has joined the chat group!]

[The Goddess of Water has joined the chat group!]

[Saeko Busujima has joined the chat group!]
