The Livestream Ends

Just then, Eriri's voice echoed in everyone's mind once more: [Did you see the fate of the imperial capital? Remember what I said at the beginning: if you don't want your own cities to end up like the capital, release all the beastman slaves you've captured or purchased as soon as possible. Don't make me take matters into my own hands, or the consequences will be severe.]

[Alright, this concludes today's broadcast.]

As soon as Eriri finished speaking, she clapped her hands together, and the screens scattered across the world, along with the barrier surrounding the capital, instantly vanished.

"Wow, Eriri, that was amazing! Just one strike, and the entire capital is gone!" Beside her, Shia, filled with excitement, rushed over to Eriri and hugged her tightly, practically burying Eriri in her soft chest.

"Calm down, calm down," Eriri said, her voice muffled as she rubbed her face against Shia's softness a few more times before reluctantly lifting her head. "It's just a city; nothing too special."

Reina, who had been standing beside Eriri, now tugged at her school uniform skirt, her big, watery eyes filled with admiration.

Arifureta, fully aware of Eriri's power, wasn't surprised at all. Destroying the capital was nothing compared to what Eriri could do—she could vaporize the entire planet if she wanted.

Meanwhile, the chat group was buzzing with discussions about Eriri's attack, though not in the way one might expect.

[Sakura Matou: Eriri-neesan is amazing!]

[Chika Fujiwara: What level of attack was that? It's terrifying! Not even a nuke has that kind of power…]

[Flower Hashira: That had to be at least Third Level or higher.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Hey, @Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire, @Archangel Gabriel, you guys are Third Level. Can you do that?]

[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Um… I'm not capable of something like that.]

[Archangel Gabriel: Easy peasy. If I use my Trumpet of Doom, I could wipe out all life on Earth. Want me to give it a try? Evil grin.jpg]

[Chika Fujiwara: …No, thanks!]

[Asuna: Shivering.jpg]

[Chika Fujiwara: Shivering.jpg]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Shivering.jpg]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: By the way, Chika-chan, what's a nuke?]

[Chika Fujiwara: It's a highly destructive technological weapon.]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Oh? How powerful is it?]

[Chika Fujiwara: I'm not exactly sure, but a single nuke can probably destroy around 10 kilometers of surface area…]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Uh… sounds like your everyday world isn't so safe, having weapons like that.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Don't worry. Nuclear weapons are mostly for deterrence. They're hardly ever used.]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: I see. So it's like a last resort.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Exactly!]

[Chika Fujiwara: @Kashiwagi Eri, when will I be able to unleash an attack with that kind of power?]

Seeing the group chat, Eriri noticed how the conversation veered more towards the power of her attack than the lives lost in the capital. Perhaps the people's horrific actions in their final moments had stripped them of any remaining sympathy from the group members. Not wanting to remain a mere observer, she decided to join in on the conversation.

[Kashiwagi Eri: Just take a nap, and you'll be able to do it in your dreams.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Right? Everything's possible in dreams.]

[Chika Fujiwara: …I'm serious! Serious face.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: It's actually quite simple. As long as you have enough points, you'll get there in no time.]

[Flower Hashira: Isn't that basically the same as not saying anything…]

[Kashiwagi Eri: I call it returning to basics!]

[Chika Fujiwara: Ahh, I'm so short on points. By the way, how do we trigger group tasks? It's been days, and we haven't seen a single one.]

[Asuna: Chika-chan, even if there were tasks, with our current strength, we wouldn't be able to complete them.]

[Chika Fujiwara: …]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): That's too real. The rich get richer, and the poor stay poor?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Don't worry, Chika-chan. Even if you stay at First Level forever, I'll protect you.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Are you really just assuming I'll never break through First Level? How cruel! I'll work hard to prove you wrong!]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Is that so?]

[Chika Fujiwara: I have a secret weapon!]

[Asuna: What secret weapon? Can I join?]

[Chika Fujiwara: Eriri, I need a task! I want to grind for points!!!]

[Ashen Witch: Eh? Chika-chan, how did you know what I was thinking? That's amazing!]

[Ashen Witch: Eriri, I need a task too! Excited.jpg]

[Chika Fujiwara: ???]

[Flower Hashira: I need a task too!]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: I need a task too!]

[Asuna: I need a task too!]

[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: I need a task too!]

[Archangel Gabriel: I need a task too!—Wait, no, what's the point of tasks? Isn't playing games more fun?]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): …]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Alright, alright. If a group task comes up, everyone will get their turn.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: By the way, what's the rule for triggering group tasks?]

[Ding, group tasks are triggered randomly.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: What kinds of tasks can be triggered?]

[Ding, tasks related to group members and unknown worlds.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: I see. Thanks for the explanation.]

[Ding, my pleasure.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Wait, are you two just chatting it up directly?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Isn't that normal?]

[Chika Fujiwara: …]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Yep, totally normal. Expressionless.jpg]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Yep, totally normal. Expressionless.jpg]

[Ashen Witch: Yep, totally normal. Expressionless.jpg]

[…]

[Kashiwagi Eri: Stop, stop. Enough with the echo chamber. The outside broadcast is over, so our chat here should wrap up too.]

[Flower Hashira: Already? What a shame. I even took the day off from my lord just to watch you.]

[Asuna: Oh no… I'm still lying in the school infirmary! It's going to be really late when I get home now. My parents will be so worried. I'd better log off.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Now that you mention it… well, I guess it's fine. I'll just tell them I was at Kaguya's house.]

[Archangel Gabriel: You two need to step up your game. If you just skip school like me, you won't have any of these issues.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: …]
