Chapter 24 - Interlude Scene: The Great Retcon Roundtable

[Location: System Lounge – Round Table of Shenanigans]

It was supposed to be a serious meeting.

Really.

The room was dim. The table was round. The atmosphere? Tense.

MC sat at the head, elbows on the polished wood, eyes narrowed.

Everyone else sat silently.

Artoria. Batman. Deadpool. Buggy. Rimuru. Tsunade. Saitama. Esdeath. Kazuma. Fury.

All serious.

Grim.

Focused.

> "Gentlemen… and morally ambiguous psychos," MC said in his deepest, most Captain America tone,

"A threat unlike any other looms ahead. We've seen their tactics. Their cruelty. The devastation they—"

Buggy slammed the table.

> "ALRIGHT, WHO WROTE THIS CRINGE SPEECH?!"

Deadpool:

> "Yeah, who gave him the shield and patriotic trauma complex?"

Kazuma (pointing):

> "He sounded like a YouTube fan trailer for 'Endgame but with more anime hair.'"

Tsunade:

> "I thought this was a multiverse crisis, not a graduation ceremony."

MC (cracking):

> "...Fine."

He ripped up a glowing, overly dramatic scroll labeled:

"EPIC CHARACTER DEPTH MOMENT – DO NOT MOCK"

And the sarcasm floodgates burst.

Deadpool:

> "Mine was so emotional I almost filed a copyright strike on myself."

Artoria:

> "I drank tea. With emotion. Who am I? A depressed Pinterest board?"

Esdeath:

> "I kept a diary. A diary. I'm a warlord, not a Wattpad protagonist."

Rimuru:

> "Mine was cute and fluffy. I want it burned and fed to Veldora."

Saitama:

> "I was sad about eggs."

Batman (growling):

> "I had feelings. I want those deleted."

[The Shift – Comedy As Commandment]

MC (now fully back in chuunibyou mode):

> "This story has no logic. No darkness. No deep, gritty overtones."

"Just chaos. Sarcasm. Chuunibyou."

"And missions so idiotic they make One Piece filler arcs look like Shakespeare."

Fury (nodding, deadpan):

> "About time."

Kazuma:

> "I move to rename this operation:

'Project Dumbass: The Reckoning.'"

Rimuru:

> "Seconded."

Deadpool:

> "Motion passed. Now let's go save the multiverse by doing everything wrong."

MC (rising, dramatic, cape appearing out of nowhere):

> "From this moment on, we break our own record for stupidity…

One Tuesday at a time."
