Volume 2 Chapter 90 Omega Impact's Rhapsody (II)
"Wow, incredible! Omega!"
After Omega's radio hijack, the leader of the 'Deserted Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad', Ochi Daisuke, yells out loud.
"He really stirred up a fuss, that guy."
Next to him, Oikawa Yurie, known as 'Yurihime', calmly takes in the situation. Then,
"Leader, are you joining in?"
Harada Tomomi, also known as 'Tomochi', asks straightforwardly.
"Ugh... That Omega? Taking him on is... well, you gotta admit..."
"But hey, isn't the 'Trans Potion' that boosts your physical ability by at least 3 times a big draw for challengers?"
"...Yeah, I guess."
"Still, is it even real? That 'Trans Potion' thing. I've never even heard of such a thing, honestly."
Yurihime jumps in again.
"Me neither. First time I've heard of it."
"Same here."
Tomochi and Ochi agree with Yurihime's words. Moreover,
"Frankly, I'm thinking the 'Trans Potion' story is bogus... or maybe it's just been hyped up a bit too much."
"Hyped up?"
"Yeah. The actual 'Trans Potion' story, and the effect that your physical ability goes up by at least 3 times."
"But why would they lie?"
"Probably... the threat of the Talking Monster is real, and to deal with it, they need the cooperation of Seekers worldwide. But it's hard to get that for free, so they put out a message to stir up a fight, and they also needed to offer some kind of 'reward'..."
"""OOOOOH, brilliant deduction!!!!"""
Everyone claps in appreciation of Ochi's words.
"Still, I think they'll give us some kind of useful item, even if the 'Trans Potion' is a no-go."
"Yeah, that's probably the most likely answer, huh."
Yurihime nodded at Ochi's theory. She really bought it.
"I think Omega-sama's 'Trans Potion'──yeah, I actually believe it's real."
All eyes shot to Rinne. She's usually all jokes, never serious. But this time──dead serious.
"Huh? W-why...?"
"Look, Omega-sama's elixir brought my arm back──after that Talking Monster chopped it off, remember? An elixir isn't just rare──it's practically a myth. And Omega-sama just gave it to me, the leader, and Yurihime. No hesitation, no price. If she says the 'Trans Potion' exists... then I know it's real. No doubt about it. It's definitely out there!"
"""Y-yeah, that makes sense!"""
Rinne's story──straight from Ryukyu dungeon──blew away everyone's doubts in an instant.
"So honestly, even if it's a long shot, we should totally apply. No excuses!"
"R-Rinne..."
Rinne usually acts like a kid──her words always sound playful. But this time, her honesty and energy just pulled everyone in. No one could argue.
"Anyway, Leader──enough whining! I say we just go for it!"
"R-Rinna?!"
Then, Rinna──the older sister──jumped in to back up her little sister. That fired everyone up.
"Yeah, let's go! Stop all the complaining, Leader!"
Tomochi fired off too, caught up in Rinna's momentum, egging everyone on.
"Q-quit ganging up... I-I'm just worried about you guys, okay...!"
"Ochi-kun"
"Hm? What is it, Yurihime?"
"You don't have a say anymore. Everyone but you is all in──the Atago Sisters made the call."
"Wait, seriously?! Yurihime, you're in too?!"
"Yeah, of course. Back then... in the Ryukyu Dungeon, I couldn't stand up to that... that rotting, chattering monster. I can't forgive my own weakness."
"Y-Yurihime...? No, Oikawa... san?"
"So, if I can join the challenge to Omega, I want to drink that Trans Potion and get stronger. No, I even want to challenge Omega and win, then drink an even better Trans Potion!"
"Wha, whaaaaaat?! Yurihime, have you really been thinking about this ever since the Ryukyu Dungeon?!"
"Yes. I've been angry at my own weakness. So, when I heard Rinne's story and thought the Trans Potion might really exist, I had no choice but to 'step up'."
"N-No wayyyy..."
And so, ignoring Leader Ochi Daisuke's worries, the Deserted Dungeon Tsukkomi Squad members all decided to join in.
