Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Carl read Shiho Miyano's message and paused, thinking things through carefully.

So,

The timeline was still relatively early.

Most of the major events hadn't happened yet.

『God Among Men』: In the future...

『God Among Men』: Your sister tries to leave the organization.

『God Among Men』: But the result is… she gets killed.

『God Among Men』: You stop the drug research and get locked up by the organization.

『God Among Men』: While awaiting punishment, you take APTX-4869.

『God Among Men』: But instead of dying…

『God Among Men』: You shrink into a child, and manage to escape.

Carl laid it all out, everything he remembered about Shiho Miyano's future.

『Sherry』: What?!

『Sherry』: Are you serious…?

Though her tone was skeptical, deep down, Shiho was already beginning to believe him.

Because she knew all too well,

Her sister, Akemi Miyano, had always wanted to leave the organization.

And if given the choice, Shiho wouldn't have stayed either.

After all...

They hadn't joined the Black Organization willingly.

It was a powerful, secretive criminal syndicate,

Backed by immense resources, with roots in politics and finance.

They were known for recruiting top talents in science, medicine, and economics,

either by offering bribes or using threats.

But Shiho and Akemi were different.

Their parents had been members of the organization.

After their deaths, the sisters were forcibly absorbed into it.

And,

Shiho also knew that Akemi's boyfriend, Dai Moroboshi, had defected from the organization.

Ever since, the group had been trying to hunt him down.

That was part of the reason she and Akemi had moved around so much.

Lately, Akemi had been saying some strange things too…

So if Akemi really did try to escape the organization one day,

Shiho wouldn't be surprised.

And could her own future really turn out as Carl described?

Her sister dead...

Shrinking into a child herself…

That was far too tragic to accept.

『God Among Men』: Of course it's true.

『Sherry』: …Alright. I believe you.

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: That future… is way too dark.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Yeah, definitely not the happy kind of story.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Carl-sama once saved me.

If anyone in the group needs help, I'll lend a hand.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Me too!

『Commander of the Great Wall Defense Force』: I'm usually tied up with military duties,

but if I'm free, I'll help as well.

『Sherry』: Thank you, everyone.

Can I ask... when exactly does my sister die?

『God Among Men』: After she accepts a mission to steal ten billion yen.

『God Among Men』: The organization promises that if she completes it,

you both will be allowed to leave.

『God Among Men』: But it's a lie. They use the chance to eliminate her.

『Sherry』: ...

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: I thought Sherry was just a scientist...

Her world sounded normal.

『What to Do About My Chunibyo Little Sister』: But now it seems… a lot messier.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Yeah, sounds rough.

『Heavenly Blade King』: But since you've joined the group now,

you've got backup.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Carl-sama is unbelievably strong.

Plus, we've got Kamen Riders, ninja warlords, and other superpowered folks.

『Heavenly Blade King』: Saving you and your sister? Easy peasy.

Carl couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Tōka's comment.

Was the Conan universe really that "normal"?

Even setting aside the protagonist…

That so-called "Grim Reaper in Shorts" left a trail of explosions and chaos wherever he went.

And Makoto Kyogoku?

He could catch bullets barehanded,

stop a moving van with his body,

and leap dozens of meters into the air.

Carl had trained in hand-to-hand combat since he was a kid,

and even he knew he wasn't on that guy's level.

Calling Makoto Kyogoku a normal human?

Absurd.

Meanwhile, in the Conan World,

Shiho Miyano sat in her office, face pale, her thoughts racing.

"A mission to steal ten billion yen...?"

"So that's how it happens."

"I need to talk to my sister more often."

"If I notice anything unusual, I'll put a stop to it right away."

"And if things spiral,

I'll post a mission in the group."

She fell deep into thought.

After all,

She'd seen other members post missions.

She'd even watched Kamen Rider submit one firsthand.

So she had a general idea of how it worked.

As long as the situation was urgent and a reward was offered,

A mission could be created.

And her world?

Compared to some of the others in the chat group, it was pretty tame.

Sure, there were guns,

But no time travelers, mutants, or gods.

Someone like Carl, who could warp across time and space…

Or even a regular Kamen Rider or ninja warlord,

Would be more than enough to crush the Black Organization.

They were terrifying, sure.

But in the end, they were still just human.

They wouldn't stand a chance.

All she had to do now,

Was keep a close eye on Akemi.

Once her plan was clear, Shiho reopened the chat group.

She wasn't the talkative type,

but when it came to her sister or her own life,

She knew it was best to give the group a heads-up in advance.

If she dropped a mission and no one responded, that would be awkward.

『Sherry』: I've given it some thought.

『Sherry』: What Carl-san said... might really be my future.

『Sherry』: The signs are there.

『Sherry』: If anything happens down the line, I hope you all can help me.

『Sherry』: Our world's just a normal one.

『Sherry』: The most dangerous things we have are guns.

『Sherry』: So it shouldn't be too hard for any of you.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Don't worry. If something comes up, I'll be there.

『Princess of the Thousand Hands』: Me too!

『Heavenly Blade King』: I'd help, but I'm not very strong…

『Heavenly Blade King』: But no problem, I'll tag in @Carl-sama!

One by one, group members offered their support.

Those with combat strength pledged their aid.

Even those who couldn't fight promised to ping the strongest member.

Carl didn't reply in the chat,

But if Shiho really did post a mission,

He'd step in.

After all,

Traveling to other worlds, taking on missions, earning points,

And meeting the characters he once adored in his past life?

Just thinking about it was exciting.

Why wouldn't he go?

『Sherry』: Thank you, everyone.

For a brief moment, the group felt unusually warm and united.

And then,

[Ding!]

A new member notification popped up in the chat.
