"Guh heh heh…"
Iri-chan, who had been burying her head in the novel and giggling foolishly, was ecstatic. After all, what she held in her hands was the latest volume of Overlord, Volume 12, which she had purchased online.
"Bone Daddy's appearance in the latest chapter was so Domineering! Using a little skeleton as a stepping stone, that's truly Domineering!" her classmates were discussing beside her.
Even though she was reading her favorite novel, Iri-chan still pricked up her ears, listening to her classmates discuss the plot of Overlord Season 2, which had just started airing. She was secretly thrilled.
Hmph hmph! I, your venerable mother, already read and knew about the plot points you low-brows are discussing a year ago!
Hmm? Are you talking about the Lizardmen's plotline again? Do you want me to spoil the direction for you?
Wahahaha! Novel readers can do whatever they want!
Although she thought this, Iri-chan actually didn't dare to strike up a conversation with the classmates who were enthusiastically discussing beside her. After all, in this class—no… in the entire grade—she was considered quite an anomaly.
Strange… reclusive… quiet… and not pretty. These few words basically summarized Iri-chan's current situation.
First, being unattractive, she naturally wasn't popular with the boys. Boys naturally wouldn't bother with the gloomy and unattractive Iri-chan.
Iri-chan herself was quiet and particularly shy. Her interests didn't align with other girls, and she had nothing to talk about with them.
So, the girls basically didn't pay attention to Iri-chan either. As a result, from the time she started school until now… Iri-chan had no friends and was always alone.
However, this didn't affect the optimistic Iri-chan. Although she had always been alone, she still lived a very happy life, and that was because of Iri-chan's hobbies.
While Iri-chan was such a quiet and gloomy person in reality, once online, this fellow transformed into a streamer, often live-streaming games and regularly producing and uploading videos. She also frequently interacted and chatted with her fans, making her somewhat well-known.
Of course, no one else knew about this, as Iri-chan wore a mask when streaming. Iri-chan knew that if her appearance were exposed, her fans would definitely flee.
Her appearance was indeed not very presentable. Fortunately, her voice was quite good, very much in the style of a Japanese CV, so she attracted many fans just with her voice.
Overall, Iri-chan was a 'character' like a 'lost girl' deeply 'immersed' in the two-dimensional world, and a very seasoned one at that. It's just that she couldn't be seen in the light; her appearance was basically a 'death on sight' situation.
"Wow… look at that lost girl giggling foolishly by herself again!"
Iri-chan's hearing was excellent, so she knew some inconsiderate classmate had noticed her again. "I'm sorry for dirtying your eyes, but I didn't ask you to look! What are you looking at?! Haven't you seen a girl as lost as me before?!" Iri-chan silently cursed in her heart.
Although she thought this, on the surface, she had to act as if she hadn't heard anything at all. Anyway, she was used to her classmates' idle gossip.
"Who knows about her! She's probably fantasizing about some CP again, right? Don't those kinds of girls like to 'randomly' ship people?!"
Another unknown voice spoke.
Hey, hey! Even I wouldn't 'randomly' ship people! Do you believe I'll crush you with a Heart Grasp?!
Mere ant!
Iri-chan was a bit displeased and, in her mind, mimicked the scene where her favorite character in the novel Overlord, Anzi, used his magic to crush the gossiping classmate, though on the surface, she still pretended to have heard nothing at all.
Yes, if it came to Iri-chan's favorite work, it was Overlord. From the novel's release until now, Iri-chan had been following it.
When the first season of the anime came out, Iri-chan was overjoyed. She bought all the limited editions, DVD editions, and theatrical editions to collect.
With the second season now airing and the latest Volume 12 in her hands, she couldn't be happier.
After school, Iri-chan continued to read the latest Volume 12 of Overlord. Other students were looking down at their phones, playing mobile games, and so on.
Only Iri-chan, looking down at her novel, stood out among the students, but this didn't affect Iri-chan's mood for reading.
Ugh… this Knight Commander of the Holy Kingdom is really disgusting. He's already reserved for Terror Duke. Just letting her die is already letting her off easy, Iri-chan thought.
Ahhh, Volume 12 is almost finished! I have to wait almost half a year for Volume 13! Looking at the few remaining pages of the novel, Iri-chan was filled with regret.
However… waiting is also a kind of pleasure, hmm~ Today's live stream topic will be this. I'll discuss the contents of Volume 12 with my fans and then predict the direction of Volume 13, Iri-chan thought. But here…
Iri-chan looked around. It was still a bit far from her home. So, should she read it carefully one more time?
To see if she missed any details, Iri-chan started reading Volume 12 of Overlord from the beginning again.
The princess of the Holy Kingdom was directly used as a weapon by Xiao Di's demon general… According to this description, she probably won't survive. A bit of a pity.
I feel like this princess could have had more plot development, like being thrown into Xiao Di's happy Ranch to be a sex slave or something?
Ugh… no, no, that would turn into R18. Such plotlines should be left for fan-made doujinshi to explore!
"That girl over there!! Watch out!!"
An anxious shout came from an unknown uncle in the crowd.
Watch out for what? Which girl?
But basically, no one would call her. "Never mind, never mind…" Iri-chan thought, then continued to bury her head in her book, completely ignoring her surroundings.
And so… Iri-chan had an intimate encounter with an out-of-control truck (ticket) specially designed for parallel world travel…
Huh?? Why is the whole world spinning? What the… so I'm flying?!
Hmm? As for how she started flying?
Seeing the truck (ticket) next to her, Iri-chan basically knew what was going on.
So, the voice that warned her to be careful earlier was actually talking about her. What a pity for that uncle's good intentions. It seems she won't be able to repay this kindness!
After all, she was now seeing the montage of her entire life, and she had been suspended in the air for so long, as if time had frozen, even allowing her to ponder so many things. According to this 'tendency,' she must be dead.
Alas… Iri-chan, who was supposed to be the protagonist of this book, was going to kick the bucket less than a chapter into her appearance.
This world is truly unfair. She couldn't repay her parents' kindness in raising her. Fortunately, she still had a younger brother, so her parents could rest a little easier. Perhaps it would be even more relaxed for her parents without her!
Sorry, Mom and Dad.
Hmm? Why am I not dead yet?
Iri-chan was a bit puzzled now, because she had been suspended in mid-air for a very, very long time. The montage was over, so it was time for time to start moving again.
Iri-chan thought, looking at her body, whose limbs and head were twisted to angles impossible for a human body to naturally bend.
Could it be that heaven intends to give me a chance to transmigrate? After all, I was hit by a truck (ticket) specifically for parallel world travel, so transmigration is quite normal, Iri-chan thought optimistically.
Hmm… if she could transmigrate, Iri-chan's gaze shifted to the newly bought Volume 12 of Overlord, which was flying in mid-air with her tattered body.
I hope I can transmigrate to the world of Overlord and meet Anzi! Iri-chan prayed.
Time began to move again…
Iri-chan, who had been hit, fell heavily to the ground. She could no longer hear the screams of pedestrians or any other unknown sounds.
