Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies

(T/N: This chapter is weird.)

While Subaru was asking questions, Haruto decided to connect to the voice chat directly. Casually adjusting his voice to sound like a sweet girl, he spoke:

"I'll explain over voice chat, typing is too much trouble."

Subaru froze for a moment, then felt an immense shock.

The big boss… is actually a girl?! And her voice was insanely sweet.

The group chat instantly exploded.

Spoilers Are Fun: That voice… I'm in!

Big Sister Is Supreme: A little too addicting… as expected of the big boss.

Blonde Defeated Dog: So cute! I want to flirt!

Hall Master of Wangsheng: Flirting with everything you see will only hurt your Eriri! This is the big shot we're talking about!

Haruto, however, completely ignored the chaos in the chat.

He altered his voice mainly to prevent his identity from being exposed. If his cover got blown, he'd lose out on a lot of entertainment in the future.

Then, Haruto began explaining:

"The three dark feathers on the left are called 'Energy Feathers.' When thrown, they automatically lock onto the target you focus on. Upon impact, they release a pure energy explosion, obliterating everything within a twelve-meter radius. You can adjust the range with your thoughts."

(These were actually Haruto's kagune feathers.)

At that moment, Subaru was holding one of the feathers. Hearing this, his hand trembled, nearly making him throw it.

Obliterating everything within twelve meters?!

Subaru then picked up the small black box.

Opening it, he found six needles neatly arranged—three green, three red.

"The green needles instantly heal all physical injuries and enhance your physical abilities sevenfold. They can be stacked."

"The red needles cause genetic-level collapse, mutating the target into a puddle of flesh."

(These were essentially a downgraded, restricted version of the Blacklight Virus.)

Subaru silently closed the black box and took a deep breath.

Next was the golden pocket watch.

"The 'Time Stop Pocket Watch' pauses time in this world for nine seconds when activated. It has a half-hour cooldown."

(A little trinket casually made with the power of 'The World.' It could only stop time within a single world and had strict limits.)

Subaru was already numb.

This was what she called a small trinket?

A time stop ability?! That was completely overpowered!

Next was the radiant, glowing longsword.

"That is the 'Sword of the Gods.' Originally, it symbolized supreme divine power, but I modified its settings."

"Now, even mortals can wield it freely. Each swing unleashes dazzling sword energy, with a guaranteed critical hit, severe injury, bleeding, burning, and more."

(A replica of the sword that pierced through Tohru.)

Subaru's expression was completely blank.

The sheer power of these items was overwhelming.

These weapons were more than enough to single-handedly slay the kingdom's guardian dragon, defeat the Sin Archbishops, or even challenge the Witches.

Finally, Subaru's gaze fell on the mechanical timer.

Its screen seemed stuck between 3 and 4, as if a countdown had been forcibly paused.

There were two buttons on it, one red, one blue.

Subaru's first thought: Is this a bomb?

But that didn't feel right.

The boss wouldn't give him something as primitive as a bomb, right?

"Boss, what is this thing?"

Since Haruto hadn't explained it yet, Subaru picked it up and asked curiously.

"That is the end of all things."

Haruto's words sent a shiver down Subaru's spine. His hands trembled, but he didn't dare make any sudden moves.

He was terrified of accidentally activating it.

"No need to be so cautious. The buttons cannot be pressed by accident. They only work if you truly intend to press them."

"The red button will annihilate everything. It's your last resort—if there's no way out, you can take your enemies down with you."

"Normally, this item won't be necessary. Once everything is over, press the green button, and the device will self-destruct without any consequences."

(Feel free to guess what this is.)

Hearing this, Subaru finally let out a sigh of relief.

That was way too terrifying!

He carefully stored all the items, placing the mechanical timer close to his body. Since it couldn't be triggered accidentally, he only needed to make sure he didn't lose it.

"Boss, I feel so powerful right now! Those invaders from beyond this world, I will eliminate them myself!"

Subaru declared, as if swearing an oath.

"Uh… did you forget that you're also from beyond this world?"

Haruto quipped.

Subaru froze as if struck by an invisible arrow.

Right… he was a transmigrator too.

"Anyway, good luck. I'll be watching."

Haruto offered a casual word of encouragement and ended the voice chat. Listening to the clear, bell-like voice, Subaru felt a fire ignite within him.

For the boss!

(T/N: Ewwww)

Meanwhile, in the group chat—

Spoilers Are Fun: LMAO, Subaru, aren't you a transmigrator too?

Blonde Defeated Dog: I'm not usually a 'schadenfreude' kind of guy, but this is hilarious.

Big Sister Is Supreme: Am I the only one who thinks those items are completely broken?

Hall Master of Wangsheng: Since they're from the boss, they make perfect sense.

Back in the video call, Subaru, now hyped up, also felt a bit lost.

"Speaking of which… how am I supposed to find those guys? Even the kingdom hasn't been able to locate them."

Spoilers Are Fun: I think you should head back to the royal capital. If the invaders in your world are the same as the ones from the Doctor's world…

Spoilers Are Fun: Then their greatest advantage is knowing the plot ahead of time. The main storyline locations should be the best places to catch them.

Taking this advice, Subaru immediately had a direction.

Stepping out of the cramped inn room, he set off toward the royal capital.

This was a border city of the Lugnica Kingdom, and night had already fallen.

Unlike Earth, the nights in this world were pitch black, and with the kingdom plagued by bandit attacks, the streets were completely deserted.

Following the map, Subaru walked along the street in the direction of the Royal Capital.

Before dawn, there was no way to rent a carriage.

He had to travel on foot until he reached the outskirts, where he could rent an Earth Dragon.

Earth Dragons were a common mode of transportation in Re:Zero's world.

More durable than horses, faster in a sprint, and more intelligent, they were excellent domesticated creatures.

It seemed the Kingdom's lockdown order was in effect, the city gates were tightly shut.

But since this was a remote border town, the guards were lax, and there was no one stationed at night.

Looking at the heavy gates and the large lock on the latch…

Subaru thought for a moment and pulled out the black box from his pocket. He took out a green needle.

Taking a deep breath, Subaru stabbed it into his wrist.

The needle instantly sank into his skin and disappeared.

Immediately, his entire body felt like it was burning. His bones creaked, his muscles throbbed.

The next moment, Subaru jumped.

Despite not exerting much force, he shot into the air like a cannonball.

He had jumped over seven meters!

Panicking, he grabbed onto the wall's bricks to avoid falling.

Swallowing hard, he used the wall to propel himself upward again.

With two consecutive jumps, he scaled the city's towering walls using only his body.

Spoilers Are Fun: Insane! Those items are terrifying!

Big Sister is Supreme: If they can be stacked… What would three needles do?

Blonde Defeated Dog: If he can use more, wouldn't he be invincible?

Candle Dragon, Fates Master, Lord of Knowledge: Not possible. Normal humans can handle at most three, or their genes will collapse.

Spoilers Are Fun: Ah… Makes sense. But Subaru adapted to the sudden boost so quickly! Is he secretly talented?

Pain Magnet: Hehe, for some reason, my body just naturally adjusted! Maybe it's my hidden potential!

Candle Dragon, Fates Master, Lord of Knowledge: The needles come with muscle memory, helping users adapt quickly.

Pain Magnet: Ah… never mind, then.

Blonde Defeated Dog: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Pain Magnet: Enough! Eriri, your laughter is hurting my eyes!
