Chapter 310: Infinite Stratos 1

Chapter 310: Infinite Stratos 1

(Umaru Perspective) (Himouto! Umaru-chan)

Ever since I learned to speak, my brother has instilled in me the idea not to trust anyone, not even him. The only person I can trust is myself.

Even though I grew fond of the people in the chat room in the last week, I can't forget that each person has their own outlook on life, sense of moral values, and personal ambitions.

Esdeath and Eto are highly intelligent, Kiss-Shot has a long life experience, and although Mirko and Medaka act like muscle heads, they are also intelligent women.

Pretending innocent to stop Hiroki's stupidity will be hard, but I've lived with a professional liar all my life, so I know how to keep up appearances.

I just have to forget all my problems and secure little psychological keys that will make me remember my desire to stop Hiroki, I also have to make sure I don't blindly trust the chat room, this could be some kind of sinister game of some deity with too much time free.

My brother taught me to adapt my state of mind to each situation, so I forgot all my worries and concentrated on enjoying the adventure...

As my thoughts adjusted, I took in my surroundings.

I am lying on a comfortable bed. Judging from the structure of the room, this place seems to be a first-class hospital.

I have never been in a luxurious hospital, but I can recognize that the materials of the infrastructure and the bed are of the best quality.

I looked at my right arm and saw a catheter in my wrist that was administering a clear serum to my body. I also have a breathing system connected to my nostrils.

It's not the first time I've woken up in a hospital not knowing what happened, this is similar to when I had chickenpox and my brother took me for medical attention.

Even though I feel anxious and a little scared, my brother taught me to stay calm.

For now, I pretended to be unconscious and opened the chat room.

The chat room is visible even with your eyes closed which is very useful.

[Kiss-Shot: How's the girl doing?]

[Medaka: she has been asleep for two days, I'm worried...] N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

So I was unconscious for two days.

This is very strange.

I went through all the conversations and understood a little of what happened.

When we got to Infinite Stratos, I fell into a coma before I could say a word. The other members of the chat just watched me faint without knowing what had happened.

Medaka and Mirko were worried and thought that I had a bout of anemia, or maybe my body was too weak for space travel.

One thing we have understood is that I am the weakest and most useless person in the chat room.

Even idiot Hiroki is a good fighter, way above human standards. By comparison, he should be on Ken's level in Street Fighter.

It is assumed that he reincarnated in a world where humanity is practically extinct and the world is populated by monsters, something like Monster Hunter, but without the cute Felynes.

Hiroki was excited to get out of his world since he hasn't found women to sexually harass in that place, but that also means that he has lived the last 10 years fighting to survive.

It doesn't make sense that a newborn can survive in a world full of monsters, but hey, they're things for protagonists, it's not worth thinking about.

Hiroki being a living boner aside, I'm the only normal human in the chat room, and therefore became the team mascot.

I don't mind being treated like a helpless and useless child, I just want to avoid becoming an obstacle.

Even though I'm the weakest in the group, I've become the voice of reason that calms down arguments before they get out of hand.

Mirko and Medaka wanted to take me to a hospital, but Eto had prepared a prank to spite both women with a strong sense of justice.

The chat room inventory cannot store living things, but raw meat is easy to store.

Eto had brought a female head to mock Mirko. If I'm not mistaken, that's the mother of the child she had decapitated.

Mirko lost his mind in anger and so began the chaos.

When we arrived at Infinite Stratos, we appeared in an apartment within the city where the main plot of the anime takes place.

The apartment was large and comfortable, but now it was just rubble as Mirko kicked Eto, sending the ghoul crashing through the wall onto the street.

Both women started fighting, which caused a lot of chaos.

Eto did not use her kagune, the main weapon of a ghoul. She only escaped from Mirko while she was pretending to be a scared girl running from a psychopath.

Esdeath didn't intervene, she had chosen to watch the show to have better control and understanding of the situation.

What was expected of an intelligent general.

Kya Esdeath-sama!

... ahem.

Kiss-Shot didn't intervene either, she left the house and took a big jump that made her disappear on the horizon. At that time it was daytime, but the sun is something insignificant for the best vampire waifu.

Hiroki tried to stop Mirko and Eto, but Mirko was too angry, while Eto was having fun. Both women continued to play cat and mouse as Hiroki chased after them.

While all this was happening, Medaka carried me to a hospital. She is very kind.

The fact that Eto did something so flashy made no sense since, in the anime, she is a calculating and intelligent woman, she must have had an ulterior motive, and it was.

What the hell is that thing?!

The eye seems to be dead, but I have a feeling that thing is smiling kindly...

[■: ^^ <3 <3]

...

That thing can read my mind?!

[■: ^^]

... I-Is t-that a yes?

[■: ^^]

....

Are you the administrator of the chat room?

[■: >.<]

I'll assume that's a no.

Who or what are you?

[■: ■■■ ■■■■■■■■ ■■■ ■]

... What?

[■: Q-Q]

Are you crying because you can't talk?

[■: Q-Q]

... Can you only make symbols and faces?

[■: ^^]

That is a yes...

This is all too strange and I can't explain this feeling.

Normally, this kind of unknown situation should cause me discomfort and concern, but this strange thing or person gives me an inexplicable feeling of trust that I can only feel with my brother.

[■: QuQ <3]

...

You are kind of cute.

By the way, are you a man or a woman?

To think I always made fun of that question in Pokémon...

[■: 2]

Woman?

[■: ^^]

I don't know if this is dangerous or a good thing, but at least I'm not alone anymore.

Still, I miss my brother...

I opened my eyes and shook my head.

This is not the time to fall into depression, I need to complete the mission to obtain a cure for my brother.

In this anime there is science genius Tabane Shinonono, maybe she can design a medicine that can cure my brother's dying organs.

Also, having Esdeath and Mirko as teachers will be great!

I'm glad I put my camera away, I'll be taking lots of souvenir pictures.

If I can stop Hiroki from getting a harem, it will be fun to photograph his frustrated face to make memes.

[■: :D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3]

Do you like that idea?

[■: ^^ <3]

Okay, let's ruin the bullshit for that stupid fanfic protagonist!

[■: ^^ <3 ■■■■■ <3 ■■ ■]

Uh yeah, whatever you say...

We will need a translator.
