『Tony Stark』: Oh come on, this is basically robbery...

『Tony Stark』: There are only a few bottles of that wine left. Hopefully, Mr. Superman leaves me some...

Tony watched Carl leave, muttering to himself in exasperation.

Still, as a top-tier billionaire, he couldn't possibly be stingy about a few hundred thousand dollars' worth of wine, especially since Carl had saved his life.

Last time Carl visited his home, he drank two bottles of '45 Romanée-Conti.

So really, Tony was just grumbling.

『Tony Stark』: Alright, let's see what this is...

『Tony Stark』: Is it something my old man left for me?

Saying that, Tony began inspecting the suitcase in his hands.

...

Carl didn't go home right away.

Instead, he headed straight for Tony's wine cellar.

He took a single bottle from the highest shelf and left.

There were still a few bottles left, after all. He wasn't going to take them all, that would be too much.

Last time at Tony's place, it was Carl's first time tasting the 1945 Romanée-Conti.

It truly lived up to its title as the King of Burgundy Wines.

Delicious.

And expensive, at hundreds of thousands of dollars per bottle, it wasn't something Carl couldn't afford...

But it was something he couldn't buy, no matter the money.

Carl didn't actually know whether Tony's wine was genuine.

But it tasted great. And frankly, saying the Iron Man's wine cellar was stocked with fakes would be absurd.

Now that Zhao Helen had arrived, Carl figured she should try it.

Back home, Zhao Helen was still resting.

After all, Carl had only been out for less than an hour, most of which he spent talking with Tony and Nick Fury, or waiting for Nick to hand over the case.

He placed the wine in his small bar area and sat at the edge of the bed to rest.

After thinking for a bit, he opened the chat group.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: ?（??????????????）? Hehe, thanks for the meal, Sister Juuhana!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Your cooking is amazing, as always!

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: ^_^ You're welcome! I'm just glad you liked it.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: ′?` I loved it!

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: That's good to hear~

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Feels like it's a little quiet today though. Where is everyone?

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Probably busy with their own stuff?

『Heavenly Blade King』: （?w?）I've been here the whole time.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Same here.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Just been dealing with a few things.

『Heavenly Blade King』: We moved to the City of Angels. My father returned to the place he once escaped from.

『Heavenly Blade King』: He's trying to retrieve the Angel King's spaceship.

『Heavenly Blade King』: He says he has the experience, but I'm still worried about him going alone.

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Don't worry~

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Didn't you say Carl wiped out the entire angel army?

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: You guys shouldn't have any enemies left.

『Shirley』: Exactly. Don't stress it.

『Shirley』: And if something does happen, you can post a quest.

『Heavenly Blade King』: True...

『Heavenly Blade King』: It's because all the angel warriors are gone that my father is going alone to pilot the ship.

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: In that case, doesn't sound like there's any real issue.

『Heavenly Blade King』: You're right.

『God Among Men』: Don't worry.jpg

『Heavenly Blade King』: Carl, you're online!

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Gathering to watch the legend~

『Shirley』: +1

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: +2

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: +3

『God Among Men』: ...

『God Among Men』: Yeah. @Heavenly Blade King

『Heavenly Blade King』: What were you up to earlier?

『God Among Men』: Nothing much. Eating. Resting.

[System Notification]: New members have joined the chat group.

Carl raised an eyebrow at the alert.

The names weren't unfamiliar.

"Britannian Prince."

That must refer to the empire from Code Geass.

As for which prince this was, Carl couldn't be sure. The original series never specified exactly how many princes there were, but there were definitely a lot.

The protagonist, Lelouch, was the Eleventh Prince.

Royal bloodlines run deep.

Still, Carl didn't know if the new member was Lelouch himself.

Then there was the other new member: "Chooser of Heroes, the Valkyrie."

Sounded like one of the goddesses from Record of Ragnarok, specifically one of the thirteen Valkyrie sisters.

Most likely: Brunhilde.

She was the one who selected most of the human fighters for the battles.

Of course, it could also be someone from the Fate universe. That world was full of Heroic Spirits too.

Hard to say with the little info available.

Another thing,

[System Notification]: Live Streaming Function Unlocked.

Apparently, it's a feature that lets users earn points.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: （づ●─●）づ Hehehe, new members!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Welcome, welcome!

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Welcome, newbies~

『Shirley』: Welcome to the group!

『Shirley』: These two seem pretty impressive, don't they?

『Shirley』: Judging by their names, they're no ordinary folks. A prince and a goddess, maybe they're as powerful as Mr. Superman?

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Am I the only one hyped about the new streaming feature?

『Passing Kamen Rider』: It says you can earn points by broadcasting!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Of course we're interested, but let's welcome the new members first!

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: Welcome.

『Shirley』: True, the function seems useful.

『Shirley』: But for regular people like us, it's not really applicable.

『Shirley』: We can't take quests or sneak into others' missions, so streaming's out of reach.

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Exactly.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Maybe not entirely?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: You guys could stream when others visit your world for missions!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: That way, you'd still get points!

『Shirley』: That… makes sense!

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: That actually makes this a really solid feature.

『What To Do With My Chuunibyou Little Sister』: Even normal folks could start racking up points!

『Heavenly Blade King』: Yep, this chat group just keeps getting better.
