The Strongest Eriri in History

Neither Eriri nor the fifteen-year-old Asuna had much of a figure, which made the perfectly curvy Lala stand out in stark contrast.

As for Lala's tail, swaying behind her, Yuuki and Aiko noticed it but refrained from asking about it.

"Hello! I'm Lala," Lala greeted the twins with a warm smile.

She wasn't unfamiliar with Yuuki's story. Even though she had spent much of her time recently engrossed in her research, she was still aware of events both in the household and within the group chat. She knew Eriri had made a special trip to the Sword Art Online world to save Yuuki. Asuna had even shared the story in the chat group.

"Hello, Lala-nee."

Polite as ever when meeting someone new, Yuuki and Aiko greeted Lala respectfully.

Plans rarely go as expected. Eriri had intended to head back soon after arriving, but she ended up staying half the day to play with Yuuki and Aiko.

In the end, Asuna took a half-day off from school, and the twins did the same.

Once back in the Saekano world, Eriri didn't immediately replace the system in the new Sword Art Online with Yui; instead, she let Yui stay in her phone for a while, observing everyone's daily lives.

Whenever Eriri and the others entered the game, they would bring Yui along to help her develop more complete human emotions.

Yui's learning ability was impressive. In just three days, she could already express a variety of human feelings, nearly matching the level she had in the original story.

On the fourth day, Yui officially took over as the system for the new Sword Art Online, no longer a program tasked with managing players' mental health but the Game Master overseeing the entire game.

Eriri even created a physical body for Yui that matched her in-game avatar exactly, and Yui officially joined the family.

…

Time flew by, and over a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Eriri was beginning to tire of the game and was considering exploring a new world, the group chat welcomed a long-awaited eighth batch of new members.

[Tina has joined the chat.]

[Ais has joined the chat.]

[Fumino Furuhashi has joined the chat.]

[Milim has joined the chat.]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 4, Stage 9): Finally, some new members! Welcome, welcome!]

[Arche (Level 5, Stage 3): Welcome, new members!]

[Kanae Kocho (Level 5, Stage 2): Welcome, newcomers!]

[Fubuki (Level 3, Stage 9): A big welcome!]

[…]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 5, Stage 1): Welcome! It feels like the time between new members joining keeps getting longer.]

[Kiss-Shot (Level 5, Stage 5): Haha, and the wait might get even longer next time.]

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): @Tina @Ais @Fumino Furuhashi @Milim, welcome to the Multi-Dimensional Girl's Chat Group! (Multiverse Same-Sex ♀ Friendship Group) You can check the group announcement for information about the group and what's available to you.]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): I was just thinking of exploring a new world, and then four new members appear out of nowhere. The chat group really gets me!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): Welcome to the family! We're all sisters now.]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 5, Stage 1): Eriri leveled up again! Yesterday she was at Level 8, Stage 6. Her leveling speed is like a cheat! I'm so jealous.]

[Elaina (Level 5, Stage 2): Count me in on the jealousy! +1]

[Arche (Level 5, Stage 3): Ditto +1]

[Jibril (Level 4, Stage 9): Master is the best!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): Ahem, keeping it low-key… it was just one Stage.]

In the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - TenSura world, Milim Nava was idly looking for something interesting. She suddenly paused, her face lighting up with curiosity.

An announcement for a martial arts tournament appeared in her mind, piquing her interest. Known for her impulsiveness, Milim didn't question the source of the announcement. As one of the strongest beings in her world, she rarely cared about other people's tricks.

All she wanted now was to participate in this seemingly fun tournament, so she closed the announcement and looked around for clues.

With the announcement gone, she quickly noticed the conversation between Eriri and the others in the chat and eagerly opened the introduction and announcement tabs Arifureta had mentioned.

Within seconds, she had skimmed through all the information about the chat group.

Milim's excitement grew; this fascinating group chat was just what she'd been looking for!

[Milim (Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1): Wahaha! Hello, everyone! I'm Milim Nava, also known as the "Destroyer Demon Lord"!]

[Milim (Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1): So this group connects to other dimensions? Sounds so fun!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): It's Milim! The pink-haired loli!]

[Ais (Level 2, Stage 7): ?]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): Huh??? All this talk about multiple worlds? Really? And a Demon Lord? Isn't that only in fantasy stories…?]

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): It's very real! Fumino, your world is probably an ordinary, everyday world. Think about it—technology capable of projecting a chat group directly into your mind? It's a bit beyond what your world can do, right?]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): Wait… Group Leader, you know who I am?]

In the We Never Learn - BokuBen world, Fumino Furuhashi was lying on her bed, processing the sudden appearance of the chat group in her mind. From her figure, tightly pressed against the bed, it was clear she was rather lacking in the curves department.

She could be compared to Eriri or even Kaguya Shinomiya in terms of body type. No, Eriri might even be slightly more endowed than Furuhashi.

But her face was undeniably lovely, and while she couldn't quite rival Eriri or Arifureta, she was on par with Kaguya.

Fumino had already begun to believe Arifureta's words. After all, the chat group had appeared in her mind without any warning—a totally surreal event. So, other worlds and super-powerful beings who could shake the heavens weren't out of the question.

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): Of course! I just don't know where you're currently at in your timeline. Fumino, which grade are you in?]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): Second year, second semester of high school.]

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): Got it, so the main story hasn't started yet!]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): Main story? What do you mean? I'm a bit confused…]

Fumino frowned as she read Arifureta's words. Although she had reviewed the chat group's features and introduction, she hadn't had time to explore the memory projection section, so she was unaware that her future would be shown as an anime in another world.

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): It means we know a bit about what your future holds.]

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): Yep, Eriri's right. Though I don't know as much as she does.]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): What?! You can even see someone's future? That's incredible!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): Just to clarify, we didn't spy on it ourselves. We learned about it through other means.]

In the Danmachi world, Ais Wallenstein was training in the dungeon when she noticed the chat messages. Typically reserved, she wouldn't normally speak up, but the mention of knowing the future intrigued her.

[Ais (Level 2, Stage 7): The future… do you know mine? I want to know if I finally defeated the Black Dragon.]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): I only know part of your future, and it doesn't go as far as defeating the Black Dragon.]

[Ais (Level 2, Stage 7): I see… Thank you.]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): But don't worry too much. Now that you're in this group, your future is bound to change in unpredictable ways. Just treat any future insights as reference material.]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): And honestly, in your world, that Black Dragon is likely only about Level 4 or Level 5 in strength. With the chat group points, getting stronger than the Black Dragon should be easy.]

[Yuuki Asuna (Level 5, Stage 1): If it's only Level 4 or 5, then that Black Dragon isn't particularly powerful.]

[Fumino Furuhashi (Level 1, Stage 2): Um… Is this Black Dragon the same as the mythical dragons from fantasy stories?]

Fumino's curiosity had been piqued by the fast-moving conversation. She had a weakness for anything fantastical—Demon Lords and Black Dragons included.

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): Only in appearance, but the strength level is quite different.]

[Milim (Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1): Haha! Actually, I'm the only dragonborn demon lord in my world. I have dragon blood, and I'm super strong!]

[Milim (Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1): Eriri, you're so powerful—Level 8, Stage 7! I want to come to your world and play!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): Milim wants to come visit? You're very welcome to!]

[Milim (Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1): Great!]

Milim quickly familiarized herself with the group's functions and knew how to travel between worlds. As for the points needed to purchase a Cross-Boundary Talisman, that wasn't a concern for her.

As one of the oldest and strongest Demon Lords, Milim had no shortage of powerful items to exchange for points. She could easily trade one of her thousands of legendary weapons for tens of thousands of points if needed.

She returned briefly to her domain, the Forgotten Dragon Capital, to prepare for her trip.

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 5, Stage 1): Wait, a range of Level 6, Stage 9~Level 7, Stage 1? What's that all about?]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 5, Stage 1): But it's clear Milim's really strong—stronger than Lala, even!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): That rank is a way to indicate someone is nearly at the next Stage but hasn't fully crossed over. In other words, a "quasi" Stage.]

[Arifureta (Level 5, Stage 4 / Group Leader): Exactly. It only happens at Level 6 and above, where the power gap between Stages increases exponentially.]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 5, Stage 1): Makes sense, then! So Lala must've paused after reaching Level 6, Stage 9?]

[Lala (Level 6, Stage 9): Hehe, you got me! I've been saving up my points since I don't have enough to break through to Level 7 yet.]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 4, Stage 9): Still doesn't feel like enough power… I want to experience being quasi-Level 7, even quasi-Level 8!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 7): With enough points, you'll get there!]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 4, Stage 9): I've got over 600 million points left to spend! How long will that take?!]

[Elaina (Level 5, Stage 2): I know, right? It's been a while and I've barely used a few million points—barely a dent.]

[Yuuki Asuna (Level 5, Stage 1): Same here!]

[Kaguya Shinomiya (Level 4, Stage 5): ???]

[Luo Cuilian (Level 5, Stage 6): ???]

[Rias Gremory (Level 4, Stage 9): ???]

[Erina Nakiri (Level 3, Stage 8): ???]
