The format was similar to the Children's Day event — though that one had only been three days in the One Punch Man world, and this one was five. Five days was a full working week. Longer than he'd expected.
Not that it mattered to Ryū specifically. Five days, fifty days — in the Konoha he currently lived in, there was essentially nothing to do. He'd just spent forty-one consecutive days in the Arena and co out thinking only four had passed. Ti in the Naruto world with no shinobi duties and no active crises ant ti that simply accumulated without destination.
He wasn't a Konoha ninja. He had no missions to complete, no superior officers to report to. Nobody in the village had given him reason to do anything about them.
Wait, why did my mind imdiately go to "pursuing" soone? That's not a healthy line of thinking. Would be a bad influence on the youngsters.
Five days was completely acceptable. And there was a gift package on top of it — unlike the Children's Day version, which had been age-restricted, this one was open to everyone.
He tried to rember what had been in the previous package. A skill advancent card, definitely. A thousand or two thousand Points — he couldn't recall exactly, it had been a couple of months. And a commorative badge, which was currently in his bedside drawer accumulating dust.
He pulled the drawer open and took out the badge. Wiped the surface clean with his sleeve. The engraving ca back into focus imdiately.
A Children's Day badge on soone who looked seventeen or eighteen.
There was sothing slightly off about that combination.
He put it back in the drawer, took several screenshots of the group activity details, and posted them.
RawrSoFierce: [Image] [Image] — @All mbers!
RawrSoFierce: Group activity is live. Mid-Autumn Festival gathering — open to all mbers, crossover is completely free, no Points required. Food, drink, entertainnt — all covered at no cost to anyone. The Chat Group handles the expenses sohow; I don't know the chanism, just that it works. And there's a Mid-Autumn Festival gift package — unlike the Children's Day one, this one has no age restriction. Everyone qualifies.
RawrSoFierce: I assu everyone wants to co?
Edward Newgate: Gurararara — a group activity! This brings back mories of the first one, where we ran straight into an alien invasion.
Edward Newgate: Still — what a fight that was. Thoroughly satisfying!
Wandering Little Planet: The Children's Day gift package from last ti — I only have the badge left. I've been keeping it in my core. It hasn't lted, which is genuinely impressive.
RawrSoFierce: You're storing a badge in your planetary core? It's about half a fist in size — at this point it might as well be a miniature heart protector.
Kaguya-sama: All three activity worlds belong to Chat Group mbers!
Kaguya-sama: I rember last ti, two of the three available worlds were ones the Admin described as distinctly adult in nature.
Street-Corner Illustrator: Adult? What kind of adult?
Kaguya-sama: Based on the Admin's description at the ti, several tis more forbidden than whatever Eriri-san used to draw.
Street-Corner Illustrator: Suddenly very excited
My True Form Is Cola: Free crossover! Five days… I'll need to ask for five days off school. Onii-san is going to be hard to explain things to though.
Eternally Seventeen: Just make sothing up. I always tell Ran I'm going out for inspiration and she always believes .
"…"
Only Yukari could produce that excuse with a straight face. Ryū had the impulse to say so and suppressed it.
It was clear that nobody — new mber or veteran — intended to skip this one. A free gift package that applied to everyone was sufficient motivation.
The previous Children's Day package had been generous. The advancent card alone had represented significant value. This one almost certainly wouldn't be less.
My True Form Is Cola: Admin — the activity starts in six days, right? So we're waiting six days?
RawrSoFierce: Correct. Six days until the Mid-Autumn Festival Gathering opens.
I'm Rolling In It: Uncle Tony is fairly sure Mid-Autumn is a traditional Chinese holiday. Why does the Dinsional Chat Group celebrate it?
Kaguya-sama: Has Stark-san already served his thirty minutes?
Kaguya-sama: How did that feel, those thirty minutes?
I'm Rolling In It: I lack the words to describe the experience.
I'm Rolling In It: They actually muted Uncle Tony. Unbelievable. And twice simultaneously! I'm now seriously questioning whether the Admin and Yukari-senpai are operating as a unit — possibly living together as we speak.
WolfKingOfQingQingGrasslands: Stark-san looks like he's about to do it again.
RawrSoFierce: The mute impulse is already stirring.
I'm Rolling In It: …I'm sorry!!!!
I'm Rolling In It: …I was wrong!!!!!
Street-Corner Illustrator: Pfft — instant fold, incredible.
Ying Zheng The Sovereign: Pfft…
Kaguya-sama: Even the usually impassive Ying Zheng surfaced.
Ying Zheng The Sovereign: When did We beco impassive?
Edward Newgate: Gurararara! For this group activity — would anyone like to play chess with this old man? My hands are itching.
Ying Zheng The Sovereign: Chess? Acceptable. We accept.
Admiral Kizaru: Count this old man in~
Eternally Seventeen: I'll join — and I'll crush every last one of you!
RawrSoFierce: Four people — we might as well just play mahjong.
