As the new chat group member message appeared in the chat group, the entire chat group fell silent.
[Blood Moon Valkyrie¹: You dare interrupt my search for my little lamb and still don't answer my question?!—you deserve death!]
...
Eminence in Shadow universe.
The Kagenou estate.
In the Kagenou training ground, a girl with black hair and red eyes with a white mini-gown and a black crop-top jacket stood clutching a sword tightly as she stared at the white interface only she could see.
After getting a vacation from the academy, she had come back home intending to teach and shape her brother into the perfect man, only to get notified by the maid that the same brother she was looking for was outside doing God knows what. Feeling angry, she had just been about to look for him, only for this invisible-to-everyone-but-her screen to show up inviting her to join some kind of multiversal chat group. Thinking that her little 'lamb' had been kidnapped by some bad people, she had accepted the invitation and even wrote a fierce looking name to scare them, but none dared to answer her!
'Don't let me find you!' the girl thought as she clutched the sword tighter.

[Unlucky Reincarnator: @Blood Moon Valkyrie, lamb? We don't know anything about any lamb.]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: Heh! You dare deny having no image of my lamb?!]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: We really don't have any knowledge of this your lamb—how about posting an image? I might be able to help you.]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: Oh, yes! To post an image, just think of the image you want to post, and just like your writing, send it.]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie has sent an image!]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: So? Now tell me where my little lamb is!]
Mio, who had been sitting ever since the new chat group member joined, widened her eyes widely as she stared at the picture of a black-haired handsome boy.
'Wait, isn't this Cid Kagenou from Eminence in Shadow!! And with the way Blood Moon Valkyrie calls him a lamb, that means...' Mio stared at the chat group with shock, '...Blood Moon Valkyrie is Cid Kagenou sister—Claire Kagenou?!!'

Just like Mio, Satoru, seeing the picture Blood Moon Valkyrie had sent, had also come to the same conclusion—the new chat group member is Claire Kagenou, the sister of the MC of Eminence in Shadow, who had an infamous reputation of being a bro-con and a massive one at that.
[I'm a Samurai: Huh?! Who's this acting all high and mighty?! Are you the governor of Japan or what?!]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: Hey! Gintoki, be quiet for a sec!]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: It seems hiding and insulting is your specialty!]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: Face me and let my brother go!!]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: @Blood Moon Valkyrie, we really don't know where your little 'lamb' is! We're from different universes, so how would we be able to know where your little 'lamb' is?!]
Seeing that Claire had not texted yet, Mio continued.
[Unlucky Reincarnator: @Blood Moon Valkyrie, if you're confused about the universe, just know that we're very far away from you!]
[Blood Moon Valkyrie: Heh! Trying to deceive me? I'll surely find you—just you wait!]
After Claire's message appeared in the chat, her avatar dimmed—a clear sign of her logging out.
[Slug Sannin: Hey, Mio-chan, you seem to know this new chat group member also?]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: Eh? Yeah, but I really don't want to say anything about her yet until I receive her permission.]
[The Honored One: But you didn't seek my permission before disclosing my information.]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: W-Well, it's because Satoru-san is a cheerful and easygoing person! I knew you wouldn't mind if I disclosed it!]
[The Honored One: Who wouldn't mind if their information is being intruded on?]
[Unlucky Reincarnator: Ah....]
[I Refuse to Marry: Now that I think about it, Satoru-san really didn't act like a new chat group member—the time I joined, I didn't chat nor believe in the chat group for a week!]
[I'm a Samurai: That's true. Wait, could he be possessed by an alien?!]
[The Honored One: I wouldn't act like that because I've already read some chat group novels.]
[I Refuse to Marry: I've perused similar chat novels, yet found the chat group... unbelievable.]
[The Honored One: Well, it should be that because you're weak, you feel scared of the unknown. As for me?—I'm strong. No need to fear the unknown!]
Seeing that neither Rias nor Gintoki pursued the topic again, Satoru sighed in relief.

Mio stared at the conversation between Rias, Gintoki, and Satoru with a squinted eye.
She had also been suspicious of Satoru, and now, remembering how Satoru acted after he joined the chat group, fueled her suspicion, and a weird theory slowly formed in her mind.
'Is Satoru-san also a reincarnator...?' Immediately, the thought appeared in her mind. Mio shook her head, 'There's no way! How can the difference between two reincarnators be that big?! There's absolutely no way!'
...
Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Inside the principal's office.
Masamichi and Yamamoto sat opposite each other, divided by a table. The maid who had been standing behind Yamamoto before was now gone.
"You've been holding yourself back—stuck in your room and not meeting me..." Yamamoto said as he took a sip from his tea and dropped it on the table, staring at Masamichi. "...Why don't you ask what you want to ask?"
Masamichi clenched his fist in anger, "Why didn't you tell me about the Kyoto Jujutsu High joining us?"
"Because I know you won't agree," Yamamoto said, still wearing that warm smile. "And if you don't agree, you might persuade your students, who you're close with, to not join the sealing mission."
"Why did you do it?..." Masamichi asked with a frown. "...this can't be just to foster a sense of camaraderie between Satoru and the Kyoto students, right... because that failed."
"Hmm, fostering a sense of camaraderie is one," Yamamoto said. "And making Satoru notice and admire Kyoto traditional ways is another."
Masamichi's eyes widened as he glared at Yamamoto in rage. "You—You—!"
Masamichi hadn't formed a complete sentence when Yamamoto casually said,
"And using this to become a member among the higher-ups is another one."
