Kisaragi Rin: "Can't become players?"
"To be precise, it's almost impossible for them to pass the Paradise's trial missions."
Nakano Maruo explained, "My player title is [Epitaph], and my main ability system... you can see it as the divinity of certain mysterious worlds. My power can observe the future, and even make the future develop in the direction I have predicted.
The root of the problem is that my current strength has grown continuously over the past decade or so in Paradise, and I made a mistake before due to my limited vision.
That is, there were never the Nakano Quintuplets; there was only one child born with five personalities.
When this child was one year old, I separated them into independent individuals.
Initially, this was not a problem, until after a game, my strength broke through, and I suddenly predicted that Ichika and the others would be invited by Paradise to become players.
And becoming a player...
The problem comes down to the trial mission.
The essence of the five of them is one person. If Paradise invites them, they will definitely be regarded as one person and simultaneously enter the same trial world.
What will this lead to?
Paradise will detect an anomaly and increase the difficulty of their trial mission several times over.
This is why I made the prediction and ordered that their future could only be in everyday life.
And now, Kisaragi Rin, you, who shouldn't have appeared near them, have messed everything up.
I cannot cover it up a second time. Paradise's invitation could come at any time, and Ichika and the others could enter a double-difficulty trial mission at any moment."
Nakano Maruo stared at Kisaragi Rin, and Kisaragi Rin stared back expressionlessly.
Now he understood why his Stand reacted so strongly to the Nakano Quintuplets.
Silver Chariot Requiem has the power to dominate all souls and spirits. His Stand awakened a part of Silver Chariot Requiem's soul-exchange power, which is why it reacted to the Nakano Quintuplets, these special existences.
The key is that he didn't know about this, and the Stand's matter was also an accident.
However, there's no need to elaborate on whose fault it is; the problem now is the Nakano Quintuplets beside him.
The essence of the five of them is the same person. Paradise will treat them as one player and pull them into the trial. However, the Nakano Quintuplets pulled into the trial world do indeed have five different individuals, so Paradise will detect an anomaly and double the difficulty of their trial mission.
Kisaragi Rin could only say that the old father in front of him was already very calm for not having beaten him up.
"Can the white letter solve it?"
Kisaragi Rin asked.
Nakano Maruo frowned, "No, the purpose of the white letter is to let players quit Paradise. Their problem is that they cannot pass the trial mission, and those who haven't passed the trial mission are not players to begin with."
"Then what's your solution?" Kisaragi Rin tapped the table and said, "You can't tell me you didn't prepare a contingency plan at all."
"Of course there's a way, but it's difficult to use."
Nakano Maruo hesitated for a moment, finally moving his gaze from Kisaragi Rin to his five daughters. Although the Nakano Quintuplets didn't understand, they realized their situation was very bad.
"Since five people appearing simultaneously in a trial mission will cause Paradise's difficulty to double, then let them return to their original state.
That is, let the five of them live in one body as different personalities.
Although this can bring their trial mission back to normal difficulty, it will also cause another problem: the moment they become players after the trial mission, their existence will be finalized by Paradise.
This means that as players, they will be completely bound as one person. The Nakano Quintuplets will ultimately disappear, returning to that individual with five personalities, and they will never be able to leave each other in the future."
"Why can't they leave?"
Kisaragi Rin questioned, "First, turn them into one person as you said to pass the trial mission, then after becoming a player, exit Paradise via the white letter, and then separate them into five individuals again."
As long as this method is used, today's trouble can instantly be reduced to one.
That is, how should the Nakano Quintuplets pass a trial mission of normal difficulty?
Hmm... not to mention double difficulty, Kisaragi Rin felt that a normal difficulty trial mission would already put these idiots in perilous situations.
"Things are not as simple as you think. The five of them are not aliens from a tokusatsu show who can merge and separate at will with a thought.
When the five of them turn back into one person, Paradise will bind them mystically the moment it grants them the player panel. Even if they immediately quit Paradise and no longer experience subsequent games, they will still be affected by each other in all aspects of life."
Nakano Maruo said coldly, "For example, the most common shared perception.
Nino likes you, right?
If you kiss her, the other four will also perceive the sensation."
"Wouldn't that be even better?"
Kisaragi Rin grumbled inwardly.
Nakano Maruo's words were already very tactful. If perception was truly shared, it could be said that the Nakano Quintuplets would indeed never be able to leave each other in the future.
However, this problem was still minor. From Nakano Maruo's increasingly cold eyes, Kisaragi Rin could already see this guy's desire to sink him into Tokyo Bay.
The Nakano Quintuplets' matter probably had other troubles, and this guy seemed unwilling to tell his daughters.
On the other side, Nakano Nino blushed a little upon hearing Nakano Maruo say such a thing. She looked at her four sisters, then resolutely stepped forward, shielding Kisaragi Rin, and stared intently at Nakano Maruo.
"This absolutely won't do! Isn't there a better solution?"
"Of course there is, as long as you become S-class cultivation sequences in Paradise.
When a player becomes S-class, Paradise will scan their Skill list and choose one Skill to sublimate into a Talent.
And regarding the sublimated Skill, Paradise will prioritize areas that other S-class players don't have.
It can be said that as long as you become S-class, Paradise's essence sublimation will definitely select your special situation of five personalities, whether it's conflicting personalities or an overburdened body. Becoming S-class and sublimating is the best way to solve all problems."
"Then we'll just become S-class."
Nakano Nino said.
There was even an atmosphere among her and her sisters, like "the protagonist alliance in an animated movie, after the traditional melodramatic plot in the first forty minutes, suddenly puts aside their grievances and inexplicably defeats the villain they couldn't beat before."
Nakano Maruo was expressionless, calmly looking at Nakano Nino in front of him, his eyes clearly saying, 'You guys pass the trial mission first.'
And Kisaragi Rin's expression was a bit strange.
No, after all that, becoming S-class in Paradise can solve this problem?
Becoming S-class is indeed very difficult; these idiots are basically impossible to do it.
You, Nakano Maruo, are also powerless, but I, Kisaragi Rin, actually have a way.
Just pass the trial mission, then use the Workshop to raise their strength. By sheer strength, there's always a chance to become S-class.
Originally, Kisaragi Rin had planned to try using the Workshop to completely sever the connection between the Nakano Quintuplets, so their essence would no longer be the same person. Now, Nakano Maruo's mention of becoming S-class made Kisaragi Rin abandon this plan.
