"My name is Eriri. You should have heard of that name before, right?"
"Ah! I have heard of it!"
The High Elf Archer's eyes shone brightly, filled with curiosity as she looked at Eriri.
"So you are the Eriri who solved that Multiverse Chat Group issue in a flash! My sister often talks about you!"
As she spoke, her expression shifted slightly, as though realizing something, and she suddenly showed a look of understanding.
"You must be here to find my sister!"
Then, without hesitation, she grabbed Eriri's hand.
"Come on, I'll take you to see my sister right now! She'll definitely be very happy to see you!"
Before Eriri could respond, the High Elf Archer excitedly dragged her along toward where her elder sister, Frelia, was waiting.
Eriri didn't resist her enthusiasm, and under her guidance, they soon arrived at a natural tree hollow.
Before they even entered, the High Elf Archer called out loudly:
"Sister! Sister! Guess who I brought with me!"
At that moment, the elven princess, Frelia, was sitting on a cushion inside her room, absentmindedly staring into space.
This was her personal chamber. Knowing that Eriri would be coming today, she had been waiting here since morning.
Upon hearing her sister's voice, she immediately shifted her focus away from the chat group and turned toward the entrance.
Soon, she saw her younger sister—and the golden-haired figure being led by her hand.
The instant she saw that golden figure, Frelia stood up from the ground, her face lighting up with joy.
"Eriri, you're finally here."
Although she had seen Eriri's appearance through memory projections before, this was her first time meeting her in reality.
She had to admit—Eriri's charm was truly extraordinary. Even as someone who had lived for over eight thousand years, Frelia found it difficult to resist.
Now she could finally understand why so many members in the chat group were so captivated by her.
"Mm, good morning, Frelia."
Eriri smiled warmly and greeted her. Then she released the High Elf Archer's hand and casually glanced around the tree hollow.
"I've seen it in memory images before, but seeing it now… your room is really quite simple."
"It's just a place to stay. I don't have many material desires," Frelia replied calmly, walking gracefully toward Eriri.
"Eriri, where do you plan to establish the World Gate?"
"No rush on that. Let me make a few improvements to your room first."
Without waiting for Frelia's response, Eriri raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
With a crisp snap, the entire environment transformed dramatically.
The once plain tree hollow instantly became a modern home—now divided into a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout, complete with furniture and appliances.
Even the original tree entrance had turned into a sturdy metal door, capable of withstanding the bombardment of a Level 7 powerhouse.
"Alright, that's much better."
Eriri nodded with satisfaction as she looked around the now comfortable living room before sitting down on the sofa.
"It really wasn't necessary to go this far, but… thank you anyway."
Frelia smiled wryly, though her gratitude was genuine.
"It's nothing. Just a small effort. No need to thank me~"
Eriri replied casually, patting the seat next to her.
Understanding the gesture, Frelia walked over naturally and sat down beside her.
Feeling the softness of the sofa beneath her, Frelia couldn't help but shift slightly, curious about the sensation. Though she had seen such furniture in memory projections before, this was her first time experiencing it herself.
Just then, a surprised voice came from the newly formed entryway—the voice of the High Elf Archer.
"Th-this… what is going on here?!"
Compared to her sister, who had already joined the Multiverse Chat Group, the High Elf Archer—who had always lived deep in the forest—had never seen such a strange style of interior design. Everything inside the room filled her with intense curiosity.
"Arelis, don't just stand there. Come sit next to me."
Eriri patted the empty spot on her other side and smiled, inviting the astonished elf to join her.
Hearing Eriri's words, the High Elf Archer quickly snapped out of her shock. She instinctively walked toward the sofa and sat down beside Eriri.
Only after sitting did she realize that Eriri had called her by name earlier. Turning away from the room's decorations, she looked at Eriri curiously.
"Eriri, you know my name? Did my sister tell you?"
The High Elf Archer tilted her head, her expression filled with wonder as she glanced at Frelia.
"Eriri is omnipotent. If there's something she wishes to know, there's nothing she can't find out," Frelia replied calmly.
She didn't answer directly, but her words explained everything.
"I see! As expected from the strongest person in the chat group—that's amazing!"
The High Elf Archer looked at Eriri with admiration shining in her eyes.
Eriri only smiled softly and reached out to pat her head.
Feeling Eriri's affectionate touch, the High Elf Archer flinched slightly, like a startled kitten.
However, she didn't move away or try to avoid it. Instead, she quietly let Eriri continue stroking her hair, her heartbeat speeding up uncontrollably. A faint blush spread across her delicate cheeks.
After a few seconds, Eriri finally withdrew her hand and pointed toward the large seventy-inch television set on the cabinet, though her gaze was still on the elf.
"Do you know what that is?"
"No… what is it? It looks so mysterious!"
The High Elf Archer looked at the television curiously before shifting her gaze back to Eriri.
"That's a television. You can use it to watch many different shows, movies, and anime."
As she spoke, Eriri picked up the remote control from the coffee table and pressed the power button.
When Eriri had remodeled the tree hollow, she had already connected its network to the Saekano world.
That meant the television could directly receive the same signal as the Saekano world—allowing them to watch programs from there.
Furthermore, Eriri had automatically synchronized the programs' Japanese language into this world's native tongue, removing any need for subtitles or translation.
As soon as the television turned on, the dark screen flickered to life, showing both images and sound. The sudden movement startled the High Elf Archer so much that she nearly jumped.
"There are humans inside that thing you called a television?!"
"Don't worry. Those are just the shows I mentioned."
Eriri chuckled and patted her head again before patiently explaining what a television was and how to use it.
Once she finally understood, the High Elf Archer became utterly fascinated. Her bright eyes locked onto the screen, unwilling to blink for fear of missing anything.
"Eriri, it seems you've taken quite a liking to my sister."
Frelia smiled warmly as she watched the friendly interaction between Eriri and her younger sister.
To her, her sister was the most important person in the world—so seeing her get along so well with Eriri filled her with quiet joy.
The High Elf Archer, who was still staring at the television, clearly heard her sister's words. Her long, pointed ears twitched slightly, but she didn't respond.
She kept her gaze on the screen, though her thoughts were beginning to drift.
Eriri, sensing her curiosity, nodded lightly without hesitation.
"Yes, I do like her. She's adorable, isn't she~"
As she spoke, Eriri once again reached out and gently petted the elf's soft hair—realizing that she might have developed a bit of a fondness for the feeling of patting this elf's head.
Frelia nodded in agreement after hearing Eriri's words.
"Although she's usually noisy and full of energy, it's true—my sister really is quite adorable."
Hearing the two of them praising her one after another, the High Elf Archer—who had been pretending not to listen—could no longer hold it in.
"Hey! Don't say such embarrassing things!"
Her face flushed bright red as she glared at Eriri and her sister.
Eriri and Frelia exchanged a knowing smile but didn't respond to her protest.
"Alright, let me show you the rest of the modern devices in the room."
Eriri withdrew her hand from the elf's head and stood up from the sofa.
Hearing that, the High Elf Archer immediately shook off her shyness and quickly followed Eriri with excitement written all over her face.
"Yay! I want to see the other things!"
Frelia didn't say a word. She simply rose gracefully from the sofa and quietly followed behind Eriri.
Then, Eriri led the two elf sisters around the newly transformed tree hollow.
During the tour, she also taught them how to use all the electrical appliances—including the two high-performance desktop computers she had placed in each of their rooms.
Just like the television, both computers were connected wirelessly to the Saekano world's network.
Conveniently, the two rooms had been arranged so that each sister had her own.
As for the electricity supply, that was trivial for Eriri.
With just a small gesture, she could ensure that the two-bedroom, one-living-room home would never lose power.
Of course, if the sisters later decided to move into the house Eriri planned to build as the foundation for the World Gate, that wouldn't be a problem either.
She had already decided to create a luxurious forest villa in a clearing nearby—it would serve as the group's base in this world.
Naturally, she also intended to place a powerful barrier around it, blocking the sight of anyone who didn't belong there.
...
By the time Eriri finished showing them around and teaching them how to use everything, more than an hour had passed.
Most of that time had been spent teaching the High Elf Archer how to use the computer.
For someone who had never seen such technology before, learning even the basics was a challenge.
Of course, Eriri could have instantly granted her full mastery with a mere gesture—but she chose not to.
To her, that would have been far too boring.
She wasn't pressed for time anyway, and watching a beautiful elf girl slowly figure out how to use a computer was quite entertaining in itself.
"Eriri, can I ask you for something?"
Back in the living room, the three of them sat together again on the sofa, with Eriri still in the middle between the two elves.
The three sat close enough that Eriri could clearly distinguish their unique fragrances—and, in turn, her own alluring scent subtly tested both of their self-control.
At that moment, the High Elf Archer, unable to resist Eriri's charm any longer, clung to her arm, pressing her soft, delicate body tightly against her.
Eriri turned her head toward her with a smile.
"What is it? Go ahead."
"I want to join the chat group that you and my sister are in. Can you add me too?"
"My sister told me there's a designated invitation ticket every month, but with so many people competing for it, she might not get one, so…"
Her voice trailed off, but both Eriri and Frelia immediately understood her meaning.
"Well, that's not impossible."
Eriri didn't reject the request. After all, she had already bent the rules several times before.
Both Luo Cuilian and Meiyin had joined through her personal intervention—one more wouldn't make a difference.
Even if the other members found out, none of them would object.
After all, to the group members, Eriri was everything—their sky, their authority, their absolute existence.
Even if she were to invite a hundred people at once, they would simply welcome the newcomers with enthusiasm.
