My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! - Volume 10 - Chapter SS1

Bonus Short Story

Question Corner 5

Tomochika: Okay, hello! I’m Tomochika Dannoura, and this is Question Corner 5! This is the fifth time we’ve done this, huh?

Mokomoko: Not that any of the questions really pertain to the story anymore...

Tomochika: Now then, we’ve done this five times so it feels weird to explain, but just in case, we’ll be using this section to respond to reader-submitted questions!

Mokomoko: This was intended to be an easy way for us to cut corners, but collecting questions and choosing which ones to answer has ended up taking a significant amount of time!

Yogiri: By the way, it looks like you’re back in your ghost form, Mokomoko.

Mokomoko: As I have done in the main story, I have returned to my spectral form!

Tomochika: That’s too bad; Enju was really cute. Anyway, on to the questions!

Q: Could Yogiri wipe out the Coronavirus?

Dancing Laughing

Tomochika: That’s an awfully time-specific question! Is it okay for us to answer a question like this?

Mokomoko: Well...it will serve as a good reminder of the time we lived in when we look back on it, no?

Tomochika: Okay. What do you think, Takatou?"

Yogiri: Hmm. I won’t catch it, but I’m not sure if I could wipe it out.

Tomochika: Oh, really?

Yogiri: Viruses aren’t all the same, right? Even with the flu, every year it’s a new form.

Mokomoko: Viruses are microscopic organisms that use the cells of other living creatures to replicate. Errors in that process produce changes in the virus itself. These changes happen in minuscule increments, but even so, once changed, it cannot be called the same as the original.

Yogiri: So wiping them all out taking into account those small changes would be pretty challenging. Viruses aren’t something I can really perceive, after all.

Tomochika: So it looks like it’s no good, then!

Q: How good are you at video games, Yogiri?

Chinogai

Tomochika: Not that great, right?

Yogiri: I guess, but why are you answering?

Tomochika: Well...that’s the impression I got watching you play M*nster Hunter.

Mokomoko: But how does one decide how skilled an individual is at games in general?

Tomochika: Fighting games have a ranking system, so it’s pretty easy to understand.

Yogiri: As far as fighting games go, I can learn the commands if I work at it, but getting a combo off in an actual fight is a pretty significant accomplishment for me.

Tomochika: What about shooting games?

Yogiri: It depends on the game, but if I don’t have infinite continues, I probably won’t make it to the last stage.

Tomochika: Are you bad at action games?

Yogiri: I wouldn’t say I’m bad at them...but I guess I would never start on “hard” mode.

Tomochika: What about dating sims?

Yogiri: Is there any skill to those?

Tomochika: I guess not. Okay, what about Soulslike games?

Yogiri: I’ve played them quite a bit. If it’s the kind that lets you level up, I can manage somehow. If you have to just get better at the game yourself, I have a lot of trouble.

Tomochika: So basically, you love games despite being terrible at them!

Yogiri: Maybe, but I don’t really want to hear that from you...

Q: Recently, I’ve been getting into eating strange foods. What kind of bugs are you okay with, Dannoura?

Dancing Laughing

Tomochika: Didn’t we already answer a question from this guy?!

Mokomoko: Yes, well, we haven’t received all that many questions...

Yogiri: So, could you eat bugs, Dannoura?

Tomochika: Bugs, huh? I can’t say I’ve never thought about eating grasshoppers boiled in soy sauce, but I’ve never actually tried it! What about you, Takatou?

Yogiri: If they were cooked properly, I could probably eat them. Not that I have.

Tomochika: That wraps it up for this time. Please send in questions at any time! Apparently we take most questions, so feel free to send in anything!

Question Corner 5 Extra Edition

Tomochika: Okay, hello! I’m Tomochika Dannoura! This is the extra edition of Question Corner 5. There was already a Question Corner in this book, but there were some questions we couldn’t fit in there, so we’ve put them here! We’ve done this five times now, so the explanation will be the same as always!

Mokomoko: Then let us proceed to the questions right away. Ah, for the record, in accordance with the events of the plot in this volume, I have returned to my ghostly form!

Tomochika: You don’t have to explain that every time!

Q: Are Hanakawa and Alice going to be split up? Will their relationship progress from here? She’s the first person who has treated Hanakawa nicely, so considering how the System affects people, I feel like she must be a really good person underneath. How is her compatibility with Hanakawa?

I’m too lazy to think of a name

Tomochika: Uhh...I don’t think I know anything about that.

Yogiri: I’m not super interested in what’s going on with Hanakawa anyway...

Tomochika: You really don’t like Hanakawa, do you, Takatou?

Yogiri: Do you?

Tomochika: Hmm. I guess I’d feel a little bad if he died, but that’s about it...

Mokomoko: Judging by the way the plot is moving now, I am not so convinced a romance between her and Hanakawa is viable...

Hanakawa: ...

Tomochika: Oh, Hanakawa tried to come in and say something himself, but he was too annoying, so we gagged him and tied him up in the corner.

Mokomoko: If you read the main story, you will see that Alice has taken her leave, but it is possible she will be involved in the plot later on. So I will say that nothing is impossible, but do not get your hopes up!

Q: If Yogiri used his power on the moon, would it explode?

Yamii

Tomochika: My first thought is that the moon isn’t alive in the first place, but that never stopped you before. So what do you think?

Yogiri: No clue.

Tomochika: You don’t know?!

Yogiri: I imagine if I killed the moon floating in the sky it would just stay like that...

Mokomoko: But?

Yogiri: For example, if the moon was some kind of huge animal, it would just die and sit there.

Tomochika: So what if the moon was going to fall and hit the earth?

Yogiri: In that case, it might explode. Generally it works out so that I won’t get killed.

Mokomoko: It seems even you do not know how your power functions that well.

Tomochika: But if the moon exploded, I wonder what would happen to the earth...

Mokomoko: I heard somewhere that without the gravitational pull of the moon, the earth’s rotation would accelerate to the point where it would annihilate all life on the planet...

Tomochika: Okay, let’s just ignore that possibility...

Mokomoko: Thus concludes the bonus section! We are always collecting questions, so feel free to submit them at any time!
