Chapter 2: From Another World
Haru was very angry toward his nickname on the chat group and he wanted to change it until he saw another notification on his phone.
His face was flushed in anger when he saw the nickname which he had gotten after accepting the invitation. Haru had to admit that he might have a little "sister-complex", but he didn't want to flaunt it around.
But when he was about to change his nickname suddenly a lot of notifications appeared on his smartphone.
[Ding! 'QueenOfNightmare.' has joined the dimensional chat group!]
[Ding! 'Shirayasha' has joined the dimensional chat group!]
[Ding! 'MagicCouncilChef' has joined the dimensional chat group!]
[Ding! 'GamblerAddict!' has joined the dimensional chat group!]
Four notifications appeared continuously, Haru was surprised, but suddenly noticed a new application which suddenly appeared on his smartphone.
"............"
Looking at it for a few seconds, he decided to open the new application and if it was really a virus then he really wanted to know who dared to fight him on the virus. He opened the application and only realized that it was an instant messenger app which a bit similar to CONNECT or BBM, but it was more advanced.
The color of the app was mostly white with a very neat appearance.
Haru felt very comfortable just looking at this app. He then noticed that there were four members beside him in this app. He thought that it was better to call it "group chat" since the invitation which he had gotten earlier was an invitation to a "group chat". Looking at each other's names, he sighed in relief since he wasn't the only one who had a weird nickname in this "group chat".
But there was one thing which made him confused.
Why is he the group owner?
Haru thought that it might be a joke, but suddenly there was another announcement that appeared on his smartphone.
[Welcome to the Dimensional Chat Group! You can chat and share with everyone from another dimension. You can also buy anything or do anything through the points that will be given daily and quests that will be given randomly]
Trying to understand the situation, Haru felt that he had seen this situation somewhere. He thought about a novel which he had read in the past that had a similar setting as the "group chat" which suddenly appeared on his phone, but he couldn't be sure yet since it might be possible that it was a prank.
Haru didn't intend to be the first person who talked in this "group chat" and wanted to become an observer for a while until he could grasp this situation.
Gambler Addict: "Is this some kind of Genjutsu? Or am I just drunk right now?"
Shiroyasha: "Probably drunk since I'm also the same."
Magic Council Chef: "Is this the new 'Archive' magic? What do you want?"
Queen Of Nightmare: "I'm the Queen of Darkness!!! Is this a new group that has called me?"
"............"
Each of them had a very strong personality, Haru could tell from the way all of them wrote down their message on this "group chat". But he had a feeling that this "group chat" was really possible to do the thing which had been announced earlier, especially when he thought about his situation.
Haru was reincarnated into "Yosogu no Sora" then he felt that it might be possible for character from another story to appear in this "group chat". The four of them might be famous characters from famous manga, anime, game, novel, etc; which appeared in his previous life. For now, he didn't know their identity, and it was better to wait before he could create a conclusion. He needed more information and continued to read the message which was sent on the "group chat".
Shiroyasha: "What is this? Is this a group of Chuunibyou (eighth-grade syndrome)? You guys should go to sleep right now since it has already passed the time for children to sleep."
Queen Of Nightmare: "What! How dare you! I will curse you to death!"
Shiroyasha: "Really? You read too much 'Nurarihyon No Mago'."
Queen Of Nightmare: "It isn't Nurarihyon No Mago!! But Maschera: Lament of a Fallen Beast!!"
Shiroyasha: "What kind of manga is that?"
"......................"
Haru didn't remember that there was a "Nurarihyon No Mago" in this world, but it happened to appear in his previous life.
"What's going on?"
---
Yajima frowned when he looked at the conversation in this "group chat magic". He wasn't sure what kind of magic this "Dimensional Chat Group" was and what their purpose was inviting him into this group.
Yajima looked at the magic device which he bought because he thought that it was interesting. He was wondering what it was, but the seller didn't know anything. He bought it on a whim but felt that he was being cheated since it was broken.
Yajima wanted to refund it, but the seller had disappeared from the market. He thought to throw it away, but suddenly the screen on this magic device was turned on. He was confused, but suddenly an invitation appeared right on the screen of this magic device. He didn't see the harm and was also curious, but didn't expect everyone inside this "group chat" would be also confused by their station.
"Are they talking about comics?"
Yajima also often read comics during his free time, but he had never heard about "Nurarihyon no Mago". He frowned and felt confused. He also couldn't detect who had created this device and invited him to the "group chat". He wanted to track and find the truth of this matter, but he couldn't do anything without a hint or clue since he wasn't good at investigating something.
Yajima was an ex-member of Ten Wizard Saints in the past. It meant that he was one of the 10 strongest magicians in the kingdom. He had seen various things in his life, but it was his first time to see a "group chat". He was very curious and only realized that there were five members in the "group chat". He checked the list of members and nodded since he had seen the names of the three of them appear on the chat, but stopped on one name which had quite a "grand title" and gold color on his name.
"Group owner?"
Yajima was attracted by this title. He thought that this person hadn't joined their conversation and thought that this "group owner" might know something about this "group chat".
"But what is 'Sis-Con'?"
Yajima didn't understand this nickname. His nickname was fairly normal since "Gambling Addict" might be the worst name in this "group chat". The other two members had quite strong names which were "Queen of Darkness" and "Shiroyasha".
At first, Yajima thought both of them were very strong since their names were very domineering, but when he read their stupid conversation,
".................."
Yajima knew that he was wrong. He didn't see that the "Sis-Con" was going to talk and looked at the other members.
"Gambler Addict...."
Yajima scratched his head and thought this was a really terrible name. For now, it was better to not think too much and ask this "Sis-Con" since "Sic-Con" was the "group owner" of this "group chat".
Yajima's life was quite dull since six years ago his friends along with some people that he cared for had disappeared from an accident. He knew that the strongest members of that guild had gone to Tenrou Island for the S-Class Exam, but disappeared without a trace leaving only some people who had told him that they were being attacked by the strongest dragon in this world.
Yajima was worried, but he could do nothing. He also couldn't find their trace and the only thing that he could do was wait for them while hoping that they would be alright.
Yajima shook his head and thought to distract his mind with this "Dimensional Chat System".

Magical CouncilChef: "Sis-Con, do you know anything about this 'Dimensional Chat Group'?"
Queen Of Nightmare: "Sis-Con!! What kind of name is that!!"
Shiroyasha: "Do you like that forbidden relationship, huh? It is not like I can't stop you but you need to see there are a lot of girls outside."
Gambling Addict: "Shut up!! You make my head dizzy!!"
Queen Of Nightmare: "By the way, what kind of chat group is this?"
'It seems that they have noticed me...'
Haru knew that he couldn't stay silent or else they would think of him as suspicious. He thought for a while and replied, "You know I want to change this name actually (∩︵∩) ."
Yajima: "How can you make something like that!!" He was surprised at how he could use emoticons in the chat group.
"................"
Queen Of Nightmare.: "Why are you surprised by that!!!"
Shiroyasha: "Anyway, @Sis-Con, what is this? Is this new technology from Amanto?"
(Amanto is an alien in Gintama's world).
Sis-Con: "Don't call me Sis-Con!! But to answer your question, I don't know for sure what this "Dimensional Chat Group" is. But before that, can we change into our real name?
Queen Of Nightmare: "Real name? Why do you need that?"
Sis-Con: "I want to check something, it is better for us to use a real name to do that." He didn't know their identity since they were using a nickname, but it was possible to know whether this "Dimensional Chat Group" was a prank or not after confirming their real name.
Magic Council Chef: "How do I change this name to my real name?"
Haru noticed that "Queen of Nightmare" and "Shiroyasha" started to complain and ignored them. He focused on the "Magic Council Chef" since this person could communicate with him normally. He also changed his name to a real name since he wanted to lead them by example.
Haruka: "There is a profile option on the top of the screen, you should press that and change your name."
Queen Of Nightmare: "Haruka? Are you a girl?"
Haru's name was a bit feminine, and it was often mistaken as a girl, but he had gotten used to it.
Haruka: "No, I'm a boy."
Shiroyasha: "You shouldn't judge someone by their name little missy."
Queen Of Nightmare: "Hmph, you should look into the mirror before you say that to me!!"
Shiroyasha: "Mirror? Did you see my nose hair or something?"
Queen Of Nightmare: "Disgusting!!"
---
Yajima pressed into the profile option and changed his name to his real name. From his observation, he knew that those people weren't bad people.
"Haruka..."
'So that's his real name....'
Yajima thought and wondered where such a name usually appeared.
'Where's the kingdom he's coming from?'
Haruka is a very rare name in Fiore since most people in this Fiore would have a western name.
Yajima thought that he could ask Haruka later, but before that he needed to change his name to his real name.
---
Yajima: "How is it? Do you know anything?"
'Yajima...'
Haru thought for a while and remembered who "Yajima" was. He thought about the famous "Fairy Tail" manga which he had read in his previous life. He knew that there was one character with the name "Yajima" in that story. But he needed to check whether it was true or not.
Haruka: "Yajima, do you know "Fairy Tail"?"
Yajima: "Hmm? Fairy Tail? Of course, everyone knows about it, are you trying to tease me?" He was wondering whether Haru tried to tease him since everyone in Fiore knew about "Fairy Tail". Even though the past glory had been lost, it was a fairly famous guild in his Fiore Kingdom.
Reading Yajima's reply, Haru replied, "No, you misunderstood me. I know this sounds a bit strange, but I'm from a different world from you. And not only me, but everyone in this group too is also from a different world."
Haru: "I know a bit about the future of your world, do you want to hear it?"
At that time, everyone in the group chat stopped their action and thought this person was drunk, though some of them believed in his words.
