Anri: You're a monster!!!
[Ego Jinpachi removed Ego Jinpachi.]
Isagi: For fuck's sake...
[Isagi Yoichi has been muted for 10 hours.]
Anri: ...Why?
Anri: I swear, it's like the chat itself has it out for Isagi-kun...
CawCawDammit: Ooooooh, absolutely~
CawCawDammit: You're not imagining things.
Anri: You're here as always, Karasu-kun...
Ninnin: Me too! I'm here too!!!
Anri: ...Yes.
Noel: So.
Noel: What's going on here?
Chris: Aw, kids. How sweet of you.
Chris: Such a subtle way of asking for my attention.
Chris: Don't worry.
Chris: Every single one of you will get the chance to talk to the great Chris Prince!
Noel: Shut up for now.
Noel: You're loud.
Chris: (•`0•) yOu'Re JuSt JeAlOuS oF mEeEe!!
Lavinho: Ooooh, is this that infamous group chat?
Lavinho: Khaha!
Lavinho: Lemme see. Lemme see.
Loki: ...Oh no...
Anri: ༼ ╥ ل ╥ ༽
Snuffy: Easy now, everyone.
Snuffy: Let's hear Miss Teieri out first.
Snuffy: I think we'd all like to know why we're here.
Anri: Right... Thank you, @Snuffy.
Anri: I'll do my best to explain everything as clearly as I can...
Snuffy: No rush. (＾▽＾)
Noel: I'm almost certain Four-Eyes is behind this.
Noel: What's he want this time?
Zantetsu: ?
Loki: Not you...
Anri: ...Haha. Well...
Anri: Ego-san believes the children could use a little discipline to learn some self-control.
Anri: And he very politely asked the coaching staff to help.
Noel: Politely? (ᓀ ᓀ)
Lavinho: Hahaha!
Lavinho: If we're talking about that guy, I'm willing to bet he just said,
Lavinho: "Do it."
Lavinho: And walked away.
┐(￣∀￣)┌
Chris: Why us?
Chris: We didn't sign up to babysit.
(҂ `з´ )
Loki: Exactly.
Loki: They're all old enough to look after themselves.
Loki: Besides... I'm the same age as they are.
Loki: I probably shouldn't even be here.
Noel: Ego Jinpachi wouldn't bother with something like this unless he had a reason.
Noel: Right?
Snuffy: Agreed.
Snuffy: I'm sure there's more to it.
Anri: ...
Anri: Ego-san's exact words were:
Anri: "If the project is to continue, the participants must remain alive at the very least." (￢_￢;)
Noel: ...
Snuffy: ...
Loki: ...I had a feeling it'd be something like that. (-_-;)・・・
Anri: He also said that dealing with legal trouble caused by these little de—
Anri: ... ahem... trainees...
Anri: ...was the last thing he wanted on his desk.
Anri: So he asked the team to help "for the good of the world." Haha... (^ ^`)
Chris: That's it?
Chris: It can't possibly be that serious.
Lavinho: Exactly.
Lavinho: We all did stupid things at that age.
Lavinho: Boys do dumb stuff. That's how they grow up.
Lavinho: You just have to give them some room.
Noel: ...Bad idea.
Anri: ...
Chris: ?
Lavinho: Hm?
Anri: ...Very well.
Anri: I'll start with the most serious incidents.

Kurona: Poor Isagi :_(
Hiori: Is Ness actually on Isagi's side now?
Yukimiya: A traitor?
Kaiser: ?
Ness: ...
Ness: I'm just... still human.
Ness: Maybe we should stop this madness for a moment... and remember what it means to be human.
Ness: ...I just can't shake this feeling of pity... and guilt.
Snuffy: Just what exactly have you kids done to that boy?
Sendou: ...Master, it's a long story.
(╥﹏╥)
Sendou: But the short version is...
Sendou: The poor guy who was being stalked in every possible way under the legal violations section...
Sendou: ...was Isagi Yoichi.
Snuffy: ...
Snuffy: I had a feeling the kids from our block—and the others—were a little unusually obsessed with him, but...
Snuffy: I think I know what needs to be our top priority.
Sendou: You're so awesome, Master :_)
Kurona: A responsible adult, an adult!!!
( ; ω ; )
Niko: Mentally healthy people really are amazing!
Monk: Whoa!!!
Gagamaru: Isagi's crying.
Rin: What?
Sae: What?
Barou: What!?
Michael: WHAT?!!
Michael: Where is he?!
Nagi: What did you do to him?
Reo: Calm down.
Reo: We're coming right now.
Gagamaru: He says he's never experienced this much kindness since he came here.
Rin: ...
Sae: ...
Kaiser: ...
Reo: ...
Nagi: Oh.
Snuffy: ...To that extent...
Barou: Tch.
Barou: I knew those bastards would make him cry someday.
Barou: Give him a fucking break.
Aiku: Barou-chan, don't act like a saint.
Aiku: You're just as much a part of this mess as the rest of us, hehe. (☞≖‿≖)☞
Kaiser: Well then, Yoichi.
Kaiser: You can cry on my shoulder.
Rin: Shut up.
Sae: Get lost.
Gagamaru: Aiku — become impotent.
Gagamaru: Barou — thank you.
Gagamaru: Kaiser — die.
Aiku: ...
Gagamaru: Isagi says.
Nagi: My shoulder's a better choice than your tattooed rat face.
Chigiri: Not happening.
Hiori: Absolutely not.
Tokimitsu: Guys, please...
Tokimitsu: The Masters are right here...
༼つ☯﹏☯༽つ
Kaiser: Says the oversized preschooler.
Nanase: @Tokimitsu's right!
Nanase: Let's all calm down a little!
༼ つ ˵ ╥ ͟ʖ ╥ ˵༽つ
Reo: @Kaiser Don't you dare go after him, or your flight home is going to end up somewhere in the middle of the ocean!
Snuffy: ...
Nanase: ...................Ah.........
Chigiri: That's right! Put him on a stake!!! ψ(ఠ益ఠ)۶
Nagi: Yeah! ヽ(ー_ー )ノ
Chris: ...
Tokimitsu: :___)

Kunigami: Somebody get him out of here already.
Monk: ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽ They're completely lost... those fucking mentally unstable bastards!
[Monk has been muted for 3 minutes.]
Barou: JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE!
Gagamaru: Isagi says, "If you don't shut up right now, he'll come over and rip out a molar from everyone who says anything out of line from this point on..."
Sendou: ...
Barou: ...
Lavinho: ...Whoa.
Gagamaru: He also says that if anyone tries to come over and "comfort" him, he'll knock them out, strip them naked, and hand them over to Shidou for "comforting." Nobody is to bother him from now until this evening. That's all, he said.
Reo: ...
Nagi: ...
Kaiser: ...
Chris: ...
Nagi: Well... if he's the one stripping me—
Reo: Nagi—EW! No! Bad boy! Come on, let's go get something to eat instead.
Chigiri: Aw, guys... you finally pushed him too far.
Chigiri: Honestly... you're hopeless. ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
Snuffy: ...
Chris: ...I'm sorry. I'll... have a word with those three.
Rin: Disgusting. I should've killed that cockroach a long time ago.
Sae: Harsh. But effective.
Gagamaru: Oh. He also says he's sorry about this whole mess in front of the Masters. Barou—thanks. And... something about his patience running out. Hmm. Oh. He walked away mumbling, "Hopefully nobody comes anywhere near me for a while. Ego, that irresponsible asshole, must've finally rotted his brain with that disgusting yakiniku of his... I oughta pay him a visi—"
Gagamaru: Oh.
Gagamaru: ...I wasn't supposed to type that down, was I? How do I delete messages? I sent it, didn't I?
Kurona: ...
Rin: ...
Snuffy: ...This is... complicated.
Chris: Yeah... That bastard Noa picked a hell of a time to disappear. What the hell?! Damn it, I'm so pissed off!! We're never getting out of this mess now, are we?!
Lavinho: ...Oh. I take it back.
Lavinho: This is definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely really bad.
(ಠ_ಠ)
Lavinho: Loki's got some explaining to do too.
[Ego Jinpachi added Ego Jinpachi.]
[Ego Jinpachi removed all mutes from Noel, Snuffy, Chris, Loki, Lavinho, and Anri.]
Noel: ...
Anri: It's over! EGO, LET ME OUT OF HERE!
[Ego Jinpachi removed Ego Jinpachi.]
Anri: ...
Anri:
༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Loki: Monster...
Chris: ...I was wrong.
Chris: HE'S the worst one here.
Lavinho: Well... at least things won't be boring.
ヘ(￣ω￣ヘ)
Snuffy: Haaa...
[Ego Jinpachi added Ego Jinpachi.]
Ego Jinpachi: Forgot something.
Noel: Burn in hell.
[Ego Jinpachi is removing the mute from -----.]
.... System Warning ....
Ego Jinpachi: ...
[Ego Jinpachi DEFINITELY removed Isagi's mute.]
Loki: ...Have you decided to drag every last one of us down to hell yourself?
[Ego Jinpachi removed Ego Jinpachi.]
Loki: ...
Loki: (ノ°益°)ノ彡┻━┻
Anri: ...I hate that man.
༼ ˵ ╥ ͟ʖ ╥ ˵༽
[The system added Ego Jinpachi.]
Ego Jinpachi: ...
.... The system has locked the chat for 3 months....
.... The system renamed Ego Jinpachi to Ego....
Ego: ......
Anri: What's happening?
Ego: How is Isagi Yoichi so good with technology...?
Nagi: Well, he's been trying to escape Blue Lock for a while now.
Z z z...(￣^￣)ゞ
Ego: ...
Reo: Apparently he just couldn't get through to the police from inside the building.
╮(︶︿︶)╭
Snuffy: ...
Chigiri: I heard he really wanted to report all the violations to the proper authorities.
(っ ᵔ◡ᵔ)っ
Anri: ...I'm so sorry. (￣ ￣|||)
Chris: Putting that nightmare aside... why do YOU three know so much about this?
(￢_￢;)
Reo: He wanted to figure out how to legally screw someone over.
Ego: ...
Nagi: We got immunity for helping. (- × -)
Chigiri: Yep. ;)
Ego: That still doesn't explain how he keeps getting into my office... or how he managed to drag me into all this...
Anri: ...Just take responsibility already.
ლ( ¤ 益 ¤ )┐
Loki: Shameless. (凸ಠ益ಠ)凸
Noel: Just accept it and quit whining. (￢_￢)
Ego: 凸凸凸 ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽凸凸凸
Nagi: Anyway we—
Reo: It's getting late. We should grab something to eat. C'mon, @Nagi!
Rin: Did you really think Isagi was just going to leave you alone, @Ego?
Hiori: I'm pretty sure he's been planning his revenge for quite a while. (- v -)
Kurona: You kept ignoring him whenever he asked you to do something. (°^°)
Sae: I helped.
Ego: ...
Sae: Rich Boy pitched in too.
Reo: ...
Reo: Noel Noa pulled a few dirty tricks too.
(シ_ _)シ
Noel: ...(￢ ￢)
Noel: Fair enough.
Kaiser: Why him and not ME?!
Rin: Do you really want an answer to that?
Kaiser: Shut up. Yoichi went to your brother, not you. Think about THAT.
Rin: Looks like you've gotten a little too bold after surviving longer than you should've, pervert. Don't forget you're still hiding behind that door every night like a rat.
Ness: ...
Ness: ...How do you know that?
Hiori: Oh, come on. Isn't it obvious, dummy? :)
Chigiri: Good grief... fresh air is actually good for you, you know. Ever thought about going for a walk? You might come back... a little lighter. ;)
Nagi: They still won't go outside. I checked.
Ness: ...
Reo: Nagi, I think you meant "I knew," not "I checked." Please don't be so lazy when you type. It can cause misunderstandings.
Nagi: K.
Kaiser: ...
Aiku: Alright, boys, jokes aside. Someone could take that the wrong way. Let's try to behave.
Kaiser: So nobody's gonna talk about the fact that Rich Boy, that overgrown retired toddler, and the cross-dresser all met up with Yoichi behind our backs? You don't seriously think they offered to help him out of the kindness of their hearts, do you? And what's the deal with Eyelashes Senior? That guy doesn't lift a finger without a worthwhile reward. What do you think?
Reo: ...
Chigiri: ...Cross-dresser?
Nagi: Harsh.
Chigiri: WAS HE TALKING ABOUT ME?!
٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶
Reo: ...
Kurona: This can't be good...(つω`｡)
Bachira: Ahhh!!! :0
Rin: @Sae. Explain.
Hiori: So then... what exactly are you three—no, four—planning? :)
Yukimiya: Suspicious.
Barou: Why the hell is everyone always scheming around here?
Nagi: If you hadn't been born stupid, maybe you'd be doing it too. (- × -)
Barou: I'LL KILL YOU!
Kaiser: Whatever those two-faced bastards are plotting, I don't like it.
Rin: Die. But I agree. Something's definitely off.
Bachira: Yeah, yeah! I don't like this either!
ヽ( `д´*)ノ
Hiori: Seriously. They're way too slippery.
Yukimiya: Good grief... why can't anyone just behave for once? I thought those earlier warnings would've gotten the point across.
Kurona: Yeah... everybody just does whatever they want! I'm sure they made Isagi give them something really messed up in return! Stop bothering him all the time!
ヾ(`ヘ´)ﾉﾞ
Sendou: They really did, didn't they?
Niko: Most likely.
Sendou: Yeah... figures. I feel like Isagi needs protection. Master, please help us! (；￣Д￣)
Snuffy: Well... I'll do what I can, at least.
Monk: Finally... a glimmer of hope...(╥ω╥)
Tokimitsu: (っ´ω`)ﾉ(╥ω╥)
Ninnin: Another hunt?
Aiku: Looks like that's where this is headed.
Tokimitsu: ...
CawCawDammit: Hahaha, these guys seriously don't know when to stop.
(꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)*
Ninnin: The hole's already dug. We can always make it bigger.
(^ヮ^)/
Noel: ...
Snuffy: ...
Ego: ...
Ego: This makes no sense.
Ego: You people clearly want each other dead. So why do you so easily band together for these ridiculous little operations, only to go right back to trying to tear each other's throats out a minute later?
Ego: From a rational standpoint, none of this makes any sense. I'm surrounded by people who are ready to eliminate someone over a single message. You cover for each other. You take risks for each other. You jump into conflicts that aren't even yours. You unite against a common target. Then you immediately declare war on each other again. And somehow, those exact same people are helping each other hide the bodies five minutes later. How does that even work?
Ego: This isn't competition. It's collective insanity. Toxic, neurotic, abusive.
Ego: And the worst part is... you all think this is perfectly normal. I set out to create a project for egoists. Instead, I ended up with a pack of emotionally unstable idiots sharing one collective brain cell.
Isagi: Oh.
Isagi: Look who finally stopped pretending to be blind, deaf, and stupid.
Ego: ...
Isagi: I had to survive in that environment for months while begging certain people to pay even the slightest bit of attention to it.
Ego: ...
Isagi: So? Got anything to say?
Ego: ...I'll hire psychologists.
Isagi: Yes.
