Relief

"Are there really other universes besides ours? That's incredible."

After listening to Lala's description of the chat group, Nana's face was filled with shock. She had always believed that there was only one universe, where their planet Deviluke was the strongest ruler, and their father, Gid Lucione Deviluke, was the most powerful being in the universe.

But now she had learned that there were countless universes, and their father wasn't the strongest among them all. It was a concept that blew her mind.

Momo, on the other hand, wasn't as overwhelmed. After hearing about the chat group's features, she immediately thought about how to use the chat group's functions effectively.

"Onee-chan, this chat group is really interesting. You don't like Dad setting up blind dates for you, right? Maybe we could use the chat group to visit other universes. That way, Dad wouldn't be able to catch us, and with the chat group, we could return to Planet Deviluke anytime."

"You're right! This chat group came at just the right time. I've been thinking about running away from home recently. Escaping to another planet would probably get me caught by Dad pretty quickly, but if I go to another universe, there's no way he could find me!" Lala said excitedly, her ahoge (a strand of hair that sticks up) on top of her head swaying energetically.

"Great! Onee-chan, I don't want to be stuck on Deviluke either. I want to go out and have fun!" Nana, who had been in shock, finally snapped out of it, her face lighting up with excitement.

"Yes, yes, but first, we need to earn more points. Let's work hard for those points!" Lala stood up, clenching her right fist and thrusting it into the air.

[Red Devil: The group leader knows my future? Please tell me. I will be very grateful.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): No need to be so formal. Since you've joined the group, we're all sisters here, and it's only natural to help each other.]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Me too, me too! I also want to know my future. I'm really curious about what the group leader said earlier. Could it be that our world isn't ordinary and has a hidden side? Shocked.jpg]

[Kashiwagi Eri: No, your world is just a normal everyday world, like Chika-chan's world. Your technology isn't as advanced as Asuna's world, and there's no mysterious energy. As for your future… well, you end up as a loser in love, that's all.]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: A loser in love? Me? Confused.jpg]

[Chika Fujiwara: Oh? It sounds like Ruri-chan's love life is going to be rough. Need any help?]

[Fallen Angel Black Cat: Love life? Don't say weird things! I don't have anyone I like!]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): I'll upload the memories of your future to the chat group. You can see for yourselves.]

[Ding! Arifureta (Group Leader) has uploaded the memory 'Campione!'.]

[Ding! Arifureta (Group Leader) has uploaded the memories 'My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute! Season 1/Season 2'.]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): Eriri, you should upload Lala's memory.]

[Kashiwagi Eri: No problem. I'll delete some parts that aren't suitable for upload and then share it in the chat group.]

[Ding! Kashiwagi Eri has uploaded the memories 'To Love-Ru Season 1/Season 2', 'To Love-Ru Darkness Season 1/Season 2'.]

[Chika Fujiwara: Oh, oh, oh! More anime to watch all at once. This is great.]

After Eriri and Arifureta uploaded the anime related to Erica, Ruri, and Lala, the chat group suddenly quieted down. Although the chat group could speed up the members' viewing experience, it would still take about ten minutes to get through seven entire anime series.

In the meantime, Eriri and the others finished buying all the snacks they wanted at the supermarket. To be honest, they bought quite a lot—enough to fill dozens of large bags.

Even though Eriri could have stored all the snacks in her storage space without anyone noticing, she decided to go through the normal shopping process to fully enjoy the experience. Besides, they wouldn't be eating the snacks while walking through the mall, so there was no rush. They could have the supermarket deliver everything to their home.

Afterward, they headed to the fourth floor, planning to buy smartphones for Arifureta, Shea, and Reina. Ever since they learned about the existence of smartphones, Shea and Reina had been craving them all night.

Upon entering a high-end smartphone store, Eriri let them pick whatever they liked. By this time, the chat group members had finished watching the newly uploaded memories.

[Red Devil: So I'm just a fictional character in an anime?]

In the Campione! world, after seeing her life play out as an anime, Erica Blandelli, the eldest daughter of the renowned magic family, the Blandelli household, and holder of the title "Red Devil," began to question her existence.

"Is my life just something controlled by someone else's pen?"

Dressed in a red dress with black roses adorning her beautiful blonde hair, the confident and proud Erica now had a doll-like face devoid of its usual brilliance.

"Milady, is something the matter?"

Arianna, the maid standing by her side, looked at her mistress's suddenly somber expression with concern.

[Kashiwagi Eri: You shouldn't think like that. You have your own will and live a life full of emotions. Your feelings aren't a lie. Nothing else matters. As long as you understand that you're real, then your world is real too!]

[Arifureta (Group Leader): I agree with Eriri. It's possible that people from other worlds somehow caught a glimpse of your world and turned it into a book or an anime. There's no need to worry about it.]

[Chika Fujiwara: That's how I see it too. Honestly, I didn't even think about it. As long as I'm real, that's all that matters. Hehe.]

[Arche Eeb Rile Furt: I struggled with this as well, but once I figured it out, I felt better. My life is my own to control, and no one else can dictate it. I'm working hard to change my future.]

[Flower Hashira: Exactly. I feel the same way.]

[Red Devil: Hmm… You're right. I was overthinking things. Thank you for helping me understand.]
