Konoha's Dimensional Chat Group Chapter 96: Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household

[Ding! "Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household" has joined the Dinsional Chat Group!]

When Ryū saw the notification, he froze for a solid mont.

As soone who'd watched more ani than he could count—

How could the words "Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household" not ring a bell?

After Whitebeard and Ying Zheng, yet another new mber had joined the group using their real na as their userna.

And the person who bore that na was, to put it mildly—extrely well-known.

A single phrase surfaced in Ryū's mind.

Or rather, a single .

It's all the era's fault!

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka household—wasn't that Sakura Matou? Or rather, Sakura Tōsaka?

A female character from the Fate universe. One whose story in the original was extraordinarily tragic. A character defined by suffering.

"This is… actually kind of a big deal. A terrifyingly big deal."

The Fate series?

Ryū hadn't consud as much Fate content as he had so other franchises—he'd only watched a few of the more prominent ani entries and hadn't gone through everything. But he definitely knew who Sakura Tōsaka was.

That said—if she was still going by Tōsaka rather than Matou…

That ant the current Sakura hadn't been sent to the Matou household yet. Which would put her at… under five years old?

Probably around four, if Ryū rembered correctly. She'd been sent away at around five or six.

He was fairly sure he wasn't misrembering.

Kaguya-sama: Wow! It hasn't even been that long, and we've already got another new mber?

Terrible Tornado: "Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household"? Sounds like a girl's na.

Terrible Tornado: So that ans I'm not the newest mber anymore.

The Little Wandering Planet: Another big shot joins. Group status −1.

Crazy Diamond: Group status −1.

The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: Breaking the copy-paste! If the new mber is a girl, that makes four female mbers in the chat group now.

The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: Ara… the gender ratio is gradually evening out.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …What is this? Am I… dreaming?

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: Why did it hurt when I pinched myself?

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Are you so kind of ghosts or spirits?!

The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: This one is no ghost, dear~ This one is the illustrious Sage of Youkai! You may address as Yukari-sama!

Kaguya-sama: Judging by the new mber's wording, her world must be a supernatural one!

Crazy Diamond: A supernatural world, huh… We've got ghosts in my world too, actually.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Sage of Youkai? Supernatural world?

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: What is any of this?!

* * *

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household… it really did seem to be Sakura Tōsaka. Not yet five years old.

He was almost certainly right. The odds of being wrong were vanishingly low.

There was no getting around it: Sakura Tōsaka was a genuinely tragic character.

The specifics of that tragedy… Ryū felt like even describing them might get him censored.

Suffice it to say, her story was deeply, profoundly dark.

The kind that made you want to cross over into her world and rescue her yourself.

Kaguya-sama: @Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household — New mber, you should check out the group announcent! Once you've read through it, everything will make sense.

Kaguya-sama: It's a bit hard to believe, I know. But it's all real.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Group announcent?

Crazy Diamond: It's the little red dot in the upper right corner. Just tap it.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Tap it? O-okay… I'll try…

Kaguya-sama: @RawrSoFierce — Admin-dono, is the new mber's world really a supernatural one? I don't think we've had anyone from a supernatural world before.

RawrSoFierce: Hmm… not exactly. If I'm rembering right… actually, how would you even classify it? A Heroic Spirit world?

Kaguya-sama: Huh? A Heroic Spirit world? I guessed wrong. I don't quite understand what that ans, but it sounds like a big deal.

Kaguya-sama: So the new mber is female, right?

RawrSoFierce: Definitely female. The question is how old she is right now.

RawrSoFierce: If she's already in her teens… that would be a bit frightening.

The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: It sounds like Admin-dono has seen the new mber's ani.

RawrSoFierce: I have… It's a heavy show. Very heavy.

When Ryū had watched it, the whole experience had left him feeling wrong for days.

The new mber's circumstances—

The more he thought about it, the darker it got.

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: I don't know why, but sohow I can understand all these Chinese characters strung together. Anyway, I've finished reading the group announcent.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: A 'Dinsional Chat Group'… does sothing like this really exist?

RawrSoFierce: You can try doing a Daily Sign-In in the group. You'll get so Points, and then use them to enhance your body a little. A few dozen Points won't do much, but it'll be enough for you to feel the difference.

RawrSoFierce: The steps are all in the announcent. Just follow along.

RawrSoFierce: And if you really can't figure it out, there's a picture tutorial in the group album.

Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Okay. I'll try.

In the Fate world, four-year-old Sakura Tōsaka's small face was written over with confusion.

She was only four, but given her family background, her ntal maturity was considerably beyond her age.

After determining that this "Dinsional Chat Group" seed to be visible only to her, she bit her lip gently and, with a tentative tap, pressed the Sign-In button.

The chat group interface imdiately displayed: 70 Points earned.

"Enhance my body?" Sakura thought. "The announcent said I just need to think it in my head to use Points for physical enhancent… It's not a trap, is it?"

She was nervous, understandably. Sothing this far beyond common sense was bound to challenge the worldview of anyone—let alone one as young as hers.

Sakura Tōsaka was four years old. She had not yet been sent away by Tōsaka Tokiomi.

For a four-year-old girl to encounter sothing this bizarre, nervousness and caution were the only natural responses.

"I'll try it… I—I want to use 70 Points to enhance my body…"

The mont she ford the thought, the 70 Points she'd just earned from the Sign-In were instantly zeroed out.

And from within her small, sowhat frail body, a warm current began to flow.

It moved slowly through her flesh, her bones, her organs.

The sensation left her wide-eyed with wonder.

That strange, comfortable warmth lasted a few seconds, then faded.

And then Sakura made a startling discovery.

The mild cold she'd caught from last night's chill—gone. Completely. Not a trace of discomfort remained. And sohow, she felt… stronger. Noticeably stronger than before.

She was still just a little girl, after all. For a four-year-old with a fragile constitution, 70 Points of physical enhancent was more than enough to produce a transformative change.

"This Dinsional Chat Group… it doesn't seem like a hallucination," Sakura realized, her small mouth slightly agape, her face a picture of disbelief. "And it's not one of those ghost pranks from the movies, either. It seems… it's actually real."
