Chương 85: 85. Got Beaten Black and Blue
Izumi, Kuroneko, and Luffy didn't want to stay long after completing the mission. After they got only a quarter of the primary reward, they discussed something before rushing to leave Axel town.
With what Luffy said before about the money being useless if they brought it to their respective worlds, Kuroneko thought before deciding to give it to Kazuma.
Kuroneko should have been able to convert the money through the Dimensional Shop, but seeing Kazuma still living in the stables, Kuroneko gave all the money to Kazuma.
After that, Izumi, Kuroneko, and Luffy returned to their respective worlds.

[Mission Complete.
The reward was sent to your inbox.]
A notification immediately appeared on Izumi's phone as soon as he appeared in his room. The same place before he was sent to Kazuma's world.
Seeing his current appearance, what's more, his clothes reeked of alcohol. Izumi rushed to change his clothes which were still in an adventurer-style.
To be honest, Izumi didn't like the clothes he bought from Kazuma's world due to the poor quality of fabric compared to his world. He just wanted to integrate with the locals which made him buy adventurer-style clothes.
"I should buy a variety of clothes used by cosplayers. Maybe it will be useful when I go to a parallel world or some other fantasy world." Izumi said in his head.
After he finished changing, he took out his cell phone and opened a group chat.
There was already Kuroneko who sent a message to announce that she had returned.
Kuroneko: Hey, everyone. This queen has returned. Don't you want to welcome this queen?
Tabane-chan: Welcome back, Neko-chan.
Rory: How are you, my sweet little sister? Did something good happen?
Kuroneko: *flip table* *angry cat noises* *ora ora ora*—
Kuroneko sent emojis and gifs one after another. It was clearly seen that Kuroneko was so upset. Then, Tabane and Rory asked almost simultaneously.
Tabane-chan: What happened?
Rory: What made you so angry, my dear little sister?
Kuroneko didn't want to write embarrassing things in the chat. She intended to tell Tabane and Rory that she was angry. Then, she would send private messages to both of them to tell them exactly what happened.
However, before Kuroneko could write private messages to them, Luffy suddenly sent a voice message. With the backing sound of the sea waves, Luffy said,
"It seems Neko got angry after Izumi entered Neko's room. I realized it when Neko screamed, but I don't know what happened because suddenly the inn we were staying in was reduced to rubble by one of them."
Because Luffy was involved and the incident happened some time ago, Luffy still remembers it, even though he can't remember it completely.
Luffy's voice message surprised everyone. Not only were they surprised that Luffy could take the initiative to respond to Kuroneko's message using the voice message feature, but they also heard such an important point.
Kuroneko: LUFFY!!!!!
Kuroneko was so annoyed that Luffy was the one who exposed what happened.
Tabane-chan: Wait, Izumi-chan entered your room?
Rory: What did he do to you? Don't tell me—
Kazuma: Oh, no wonder you looked so annoyed back then. So, was it because of that?
Izumi: Wait, wait! Don't get me wrong just yet! I didn't do anything. Furthermore, that was out of my control.
Kakashi: Hmmm. If my guess is correct, maybe Izumi saw Kuroneko half-naked in her room, well that often happens in the novels I've read, though.
Izumi, who read the chat from Kakashi, immediately fell silent. Kakashi's guess was spot on as if he had psychic powers. Or perhaps, it was the power of the imagination of his wild fantasies.
Since the two people involved weren't responding to Kakashi's chat, the others started sending messages in the chat one by one.
Tabane-chan: Hey, Izumi-chan? You're guilty.
Rory: That's right. Don't you know it's rude to barge into girls' rooms?
Warrod: Agree…
Kazuma: I knew it. Izumi should be a lolicon.
Izumi: I don't want to hear it from you.
Kuroneko: You really want to get beaten up are you, Kazuma?
Kazuma: Go on if you dare!
Kuroneko: Kazuma, just stay there!!! I'll have you taste my divine sword.
After that, the chat went quiet immediately for a few moments.
Tabane-chan: Don't tell me Neko-chan went to his world.
Kazuma: Wait! Did she really look for me?
Kakashi: The possibility is high. But why didn't she start with Izumi first?
Izumi: Kakashi-san. It seems you kinda want to see me get beaten up.
Kakashi: Interesting, isn't it?
Rory: Ah, maybe because Izumi is stronger than her.
After a few minutes of discussing why Kuroneko suddenly didn't send messages in the chat. Suddenly…
Kuroneko: *photo uploaded*
Kuroneko suddenly appeared in the chat by sending a photo in which Kazuma was seen being beaten and battered along with Kuroneko taking a selfie in front of him.
Rory: *Kekw*
Tabane-chan: *Kekw*
Kakashi: *Kekw*
Izumi: *Kekw*
Almost all of them immediately responded by sending a custom laughing emoji. It's very clear that Kazuma is the weakest member. However, his bravery against death by mocking Kuroneko, whose anger was at her peak, should be appreciated.
At that time Izumi didn't know where Kuroneko had gone after beating Kazuma. He had a bad feeling. However, he couldn't guess what Kuroneko wanted to do.
At that very moment…
Straw Hat: [Just got Combo Breaker (Quirk) ★4]
Miyamura Izumi: The heck, Luffy already opened his chest reward.
Tabane-chan: What's a Quirk?
Izumi: Quirk is a kind of superpower ability that is born from your genes.
Rory: Hmmm, quite interesting.
Izumi: You should try to read the "My Hero Academia" manga. You'll understand once you read it.
Straw Hat: Oh, similar to a Devil Fruit?
Izumi: No and yes. Both of them are the things that change your body. However, a Devil Fruit is an external source of power. Meanwhile, in a certain world, a Quirk is a power that was born along with you.
Straw Hat: 📢 I don't understand.
Izumi: Just thought that thing is another Devil Fruit power without weakness! Lemme try to find what Combo Breaker is.
Izumi started browsing through the apps on his phone and found out what kind of ability Combo Breaker was.
Izumi: Combo Breaker is considered a very powerful Quirk if used properly. And coincidentally, this Quirk is perfect for Luffy. Luffy fights using his bare hands, which gives this Quirk a lot of potentials. Luffy, as long as your consecutive punches hit your enemy, the strength of the punch will increase. Otherwise, when your hit misses, your punching strength will return to its original state.
Tabane-chan: That's suitable for him indeed. However, the Quirk looks simple. How can it be rated ★4?
Kakashi: How much strength can be increased?
Izumi: There's no limit as long as his punch always hits the target.
Kakashi: What?
Rory: What, no limit? That's crazy.
Izumi: @Tabane-chan, Generally, people who have a Quirk at first are just ordinary humans and don't have other superpowers. Imagine if someone who possessed the Quirk that Luffy got was an ordinary person, and in his home world, many Quirks were much stronger than that. For example increasing strength to 100x, manipulating fire, or manipulating ice. Isn't Luffy's Quirk at the bottom of the line? Keep in mind, the Quirk that Luffy got would only activate when his hand or foot touched an enemy. However, we're not ordinary humans. We already have another power. And when coupled with a quirk, our power can be increased even further. Or if I'm wrong, perhaps the effect of the combo breaker is much stronger than I imagined.
Tabane-chan: Reasonable enough.
Rory: You have a point.
Kakashi: Hmmm… so Combo Breaker will gradually affect the enemy's body by reducing the body's physical resistance, right? And coincidentally, since Luffy is strong enough, along with his close-combat style, that Quirk is perfect for Luffy which can make him even stronger.
Izumi: Exactly.
Straw Hat: I somehow understand a little bit.
Izumi: Well, as long as you understand, then it's fine.
Kazuma: Ugh… I'm back, somehow…
Tabane-chan: Oh, you're still alive?
Rory: Didn't he just get beaten so badly?
Izumi: Well, in his world, there is a goddess who can even bring the dead back to life. Healing others was not something that was difficult for her to do.
Rory: Right. I almost forgot about that.
Kazuma: Hey, please don't bring that up! What's more, I got glares from the girls after Kuroneko suddenly came and beat me up, then just walked away.
Tabane-chan: I bet that all the girls over there start calling you Scummyzuma, Trashzuma, or LoliNEET.
Kazuma: Are you an esper?
Izumi: Wwwwww.
Tabane-chan: Hihihi.
Rory: Pffttt.
Warrod: Hohoho.
Kakashi: *lol*
Luffy: *Kekw*
All members except Kuroneko laugh at Kazuma by sending their messages in the chat. Even Kakashi and Luffy were also sending laugh stickers.
