An Experienced Heartbreaker

In the world of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," Kanae Kocho, clad in the Demon Slayer Corps uniform with a butterfly-patterned haori draped over her shoulders, was walking along a rural dirt road.

She had received information about a Twelve Kizuki demon yesterday and was now en route to the location.

Chatting in the group while traveling had become routine for her. Seeing the message Arifureta posted in the chat group, Kanae couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

She could already imagine Arifureta's smug expression, which only made Kanae more eager for Eriri to visit the world of "Demon Slayer."

[Flower Hashira: Arifureta, what's with the smugness? And what do you mean by "your Eriri"? Angry.jpg]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Of course she's mine! We've already done that. Embarrassed.jpg]

[Flower Hashira: ...]

[Flower Hashira: Can you stop bringing that up? You've mentioned it several times already.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Hehe, but it's true!]

[Chika Fujiwara: Ooh... Is this the beginning of a love triangle? Excited.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Oh, dear, please don't fight over me. I'd be heartbroken. And remember, I belong to all of you, just as you all are my wings. Heartache.jpg]

Seeing Arifureta's triumphant display and Kanae's envious and resentful reaction, Eriri decided to make a statement in the chat group, affirming her stance as someone who loves everyone equally.

At that moment, Eriri was holding Gabriel's hand as they walked toward a pawnshop. Since Asuna had to return to class, she didn't join them.

Neither Eriri nor Gabriel had currency from this world. When they left, Asuna had offered them a bank card containing her saved-up New Year's money, but Eriri had politely declined. After all, as an Eight Level powerhouse, Eriri could easily gather some precious metals from Earth to exchange for money.

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Hmph... You sound like a seasoned playgirl. Shrug.jpg]

[Ashen Witch: Eriri, you're too sly!]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Elaina: "Eriri, do you want to compete with me in being sly?"]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Elaina: "Eriri, when it comes to being sly, you still can't beat me!"]

[Chika Fujiwara: Elaina: "Want to compete with me in slyness? Come back in a few hundred years after you've trained!"]

[Ashen Witch: ...]

[Ashen Witch: I feel like you're all targeting me! How am I sly? Cute, helpful, gentle, and kind super girls like me are rare, okay! Unhappy.jpg]

[Chika Fujiwara: Ah, well...]

[Archangel Gabriel: Hey, everyone, I wanted to ask—I've watched all the anime-style memory clips in the folder titled "Spoiling is My Specialty," but why aren't there any memory clips related to the group leader or Eriri?]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): I didn't upload any memory clips about myself. As for Eriri's, I'm not sure. Did you delete them yourself, @Kashiwagi Eri?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Nope, I don't have the permission to delete anything. I just casually mentioned it to the group, and it automatically helped me delete it!]

[Ding! Memory clips related to Eriri were deleted due to being inconsistent with reality.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Oh, I see. Did you really name the chat group "Same-Sex ♀ Friendship Group," Eriri?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Yeah, I thought it was better than just calling it "Chat Group," but then I realized it was too long and not very catchy, so I started calling it "Little Skirt" instead.]

[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Oh, that's a cute name—Little Skirt. Nice job! Haha.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Little Skirt... Why not call it Little Pants?]

[Ding! Arifureta (Group Leader) has been muted for one hour.]

[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: ...]

[Asuna: Even the group leader can be muted? Scary!]

[Flower Hashira: Arifureta, you're getting a bit too bold.]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Terrifying.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Haha, Arifureta, you really messed up. I didn't expect this day would come. Little Skirt, you're doing great! Laughing hard.jpg]

[Ding! Chika Fujiwara has been muted by the group leader for two hours.]

Arifureta, who was still stunned by the sudden mute, suddenly saw Chika Fujiwara's taunt. Her expression darkened, and without hesitation, she muted Chika for two hours as payback.

Even though she was muted and couldn't speak, she was still the group leader and had the authority to mute others.

[Kashiwagi Eri: Wow, they even made a distinction, pointing out that Chika was muted by Arifureta...]

[Asuna: No kidding. Chika, you really pushed your luck.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Agreed, poor Chika.]

[Flower Hashira: Poor Chika.]

[Ashen Witch: Poor Chika.]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Poor Chika.]

[Archangel Gabriel: Poor Chika.]

[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Poor Chika.]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Umm... Does the chat group have self-awareness? Shivering.jpg]

[Red Devil: Shivering.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Of course it does. Little Skirt is really cute.]

Seeing the conversation, even though she had already guessed it, Eriri's confirmation still made Ruri Gokou feel a bit uneasy.

If the chat group had self-awareness, didn't that mean her every move was being monitored? Did she have no privacy at all?

This thought made her quickly ask the chat group a question.

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Umm... Will the chat group interfere with our lives?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Don't worry, it won't. Besides, I don't feel like I'm being watched. Little Skirt, it's your turn.]

[Ding! The chat group is responsible only for its operations and for detecting potential group tasks across worlds. It does not interfere with members' lives.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: See? That's how it is.]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Whew... That's a relief.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Oh ho, does Ruri-chan have some secret she doesn't want others to know? Wicked smile.jpg]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Hmph, doesn't everyone have secrets? Tilt head.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Mm-hmm, you're right. Head pat.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Little Skirt, do me a favor and unmute Arifureta and Chika.]

[Ding! Arifureta (Group Leader) has been unmuted.]

[Ding! Chika Fujiwara has been unmuted.]

[Ashen Witch: The chat group really listens to Eriri, huh? I'm jealous.]

[Asuna: Isn't that standard?]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Listening to you all and seeing how the chat group behaves, it feels like Eriri is the actual group leader.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): ...]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): I'm broken!]
