At the barbecue restaurant, Carl asked the waiter for a table.
Originally, he wanted a private booth, but was told there were none available.
So he settled for a seat in the main hall.
After ordering a few dishes, Carl handed the menu to Hresvelgr.
"Anything you'd like? Go ahead and pick."
"Ah… okay."
Hresvelgr accepted the menu and studied it carefully.
Since the menu had pictures, she eventually chose two dishes.
Soon after, the food began arriving one by one.
The two of them started eating.
The flavor was decent—fresh ingredients, good texture to the meat.
Though it didn't quite match the level of the places Carl usually frequented, for this price, it was acceptable.
While eating, Hresvelgr frequently glanced around the restaurant.
Almost as if she were searching for someone.
Curious, Carl asked,
"What's wrong? Are you looking for someone?"
"Ah… not really."
Hresvelgr lowered her voice, whispering,
"It's just that… it's my first time in another world. Everything feels so strange."
"Oh…"
So that was it.
Seeing her speak so softly, Carl was reminded: wasn't this Valkyrie supposed to have a dual personality?
It was his first time meeting someone like that.
At that moment, Carl's mind stirred, and he entered the chat group.
———
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: Mr. Carl, are you busy? @God Among Men
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: Have you seen my younger sister, Hresvelgr?
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: Earlier, she used [Artifact Refinement] and turned into your battle suit.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: When you left, she followed you back, didn't she?
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: How is she now? Is she still in your world?
Only now had Brunhild suddenly realized this problem.
Previously, Grey had mentioned forgetting something, but Brunhild didn't pay it much attention.
Until just now.
After sending the humans away from the arena, she noticed her sister Hresvelgr was missing.
Thinking it over carefully, she remembered Hresvelgr had become Carl's armor.
And when Carl completed his mission, he left directly—taking Hresvelgr along with him.
Now she was worried.
Brunhild herself had never traveled to another world.
She didn't know what consequences might come from the chat group sending Carl across dimensions.
Would Hresvelgr be unable to cross? Or worse—injured during the process?
Out of worry, she asked.
Hot-Blooded Spider: ▽[Artifact Refinement]? So Mr. Carl also used a Valkyrie's Artifact Refinement?
What If My Little Sister Is a Chūnibyō: Looks like it. And she even turned into his armor!
Pink-Haired Vessel: She actually became armor?
Pink-Haired Vessel: Makes sense, though. With Superman dealing with enemies, he doesn't need any weapons.
When Carl had used [Artifact Refinement], Brunhild had turned off the livestream in the lounge.
That's why the group members like Spider didn't know he'd used it.
After all, they hadn't seen it themselves.
And in their minds, Carl was already so powerful, he wouldn't need something like Artifact Refinement.
So when they saw Brunhild's messages, they were quite shocked.
...
God Among Men: Don't worry.
God Among Men: Hresvelgr is in my world right now—we're eating together.
As he wrote that, Carl exited the chat group interface.
Using the group's camera function, he snapped a picture of Hresvelgr eating.
Then posted it in the group.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: As long as she's fine. That puts me at ease.
God Among Men: Don't worry. Once we finish eating, I'll send her back.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: Send her back? But… right now, I don't think I can post any quests…
Brunhild was surprised.
She had learned in the past few days that issuing quests in the chat group required specific conditions.
But at this moment, nothing was happening around her—there was no way to trigger a quest.
So then, how could Carl cross worlds and return Hresvelgr?
God Among Men: No need for you to issue a quest.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: Hm?
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: But then how will you send Hresvelgr back?
God Among Men: I can cross worlds myself, so don't worry.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: You even have that ability? As expected of Mr. Carl.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: But there's no rush.
Valkyrie of Chosen Heroes: I was just worried about her safety. As long as you can bring her back when you have time, that's fine.
God Among Men: All right.
Hot-Blooded Spider: Amazing! Carl even has world-hopping powers!
Pink-Haired Vessel: So jealous…
What If My Little Sister Is a Chūnibyō: Jealous +1
...
After finishing the chat with Brunhild, Carl exited the group and returned to his barbecue.
After a few more bites, Carl said to Hresvelgr,
"Your sister realized you were missing. She's really worried. Once we're done here, shall I send you back?"
"Mm…"
Hresvelgr thought for a moment, then asked,
"After we eat… could we walk around a bit first, before you send me back?"
It was her first time in a new world—of course she was curious, and wanted to linger a little longer.
"Of course."
"Thank you, Mr. Carl."
"You're welcome."
...
Dozens of minutes later, Carl and Hresvelgr paid the bill and left the restaurant.
Since she wanted to explore, Carl didn't object.
He took her for a walk down the streets.
But just as they left the barbecue restaurant…
A middle-aged man, who had also been dining inside, quickly paid his bill and followed them out.
...
As they strolled, Carl's brows furrowed slightly.
Because he noticed the man again.
This middle-aged uncle—he had seen him back at the restaurant.
Yet now, even after they had walked almost a kilometer, they still "ran into" him.
It was very likely they were being followed.
In Korea, hardly anyone should recognize him.
Could it be this man had identified him somehow?
So sneaky, he didn't look like a good person.
S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Or some Korean government operative?
Just as Carl prepared to use telepathy, the man suddenly stepped forward.
With a polite smile, the middle-aged man said,
"Hello, you two."
He handed them a business card and declared proudly,
"I'm Lee Ji-shi from SN Entertainment. Have either of you considered becoming idols?"
"Though for trainees, you might be a little on the older side…
"But that's fine. With your outstanding looks and our company's resources—
"We could absolutely shape you into the top stars."
"..."
Carl raised a brow.
He had thought this man was some kind of intelligence agent.
But no—just a talent scout from an entertainment company.
This wasn't even the first time he'd run into something like this.
Carl said nothing further, simply hypnotized the man.
Then continued walking with Hresvelgr.
