Shiroyasha: "?"
March 7th: "?"
Rin Tohsaka: "?"
Kanae Kocho: "?"
Before anyone could be surprised by the new member, a uniform string of question marks appeared in the chat.
No one expected Su Mo to speak up at this moment, much less offer to handle the whole affair himself.
March 7th: "Oh, right! This issue actually seems easy to solve. We could just make a trip there ourselves, couldn't we?"
March 7th: "As a Trailblazer, I can't believe I forgot about that. Pom-Pom would definitely laugh at me if they knew."
The pink-haired girl slapped her forehead, a look of realization dawning on her face.
So that was how they could solve it?
Seeing her comment, Rin couldn't help but retort.
Rin Tohsaka: "It's not that simple... Plenty of people in our group could kill that mob Demon King, but there aren't many who could find him in a crowd!"
Rin Tohsaka: "For starters, would anyone here dare to let Jibril go on a trip there alone?"
Jibril: "?"
The Flügel girl looked a little displeased at being used as an example.
March 7th: "Ahaha, I guess you have a point."
Jibril: "??"
Kanae Kocho: "Honestly, I wouldn't dare."
Erica Blandelli: "It's fine if Jibril is with Lord Su Mo, but her showing up alone would be a bit terrifying."
Madoka Kaname: "+1."
Jibril: "???"
Jibril: "You're all ganging up on me, aren't you! Just you wait! You'd better hope you never meet Lord Su Mo, or I'll come along with him and give you a welcome gift personally!"
The Flügel girl felt targeted.
Kanae Kocho: "Sorry, I didn't mean to target you, Miss Jibril."
Kanae Kocho: "I'm just worried that Kibutsuji Muzan or some other demon might say something rude, upset you, and make you act."
Kanae Kocho: "It's fine if Muzan and the others die, but I'm afraid our planet might get destroyed along with them."
Kanae's retort was exquisitely tactful.
Jibril might be powerful, but her emotional control was a far cry from Shiroyasha's or Su Mo's. If she got truly angry, the whole world would have to be buried with her.
Jibril: "That's a valid concern, but don't make it sound like all I know is violence!"
Rin Tohsaka: "Isn't it?" the twin-tailed girl shot back directly.
Jibril: "Of course not! What I'm best at is serving Lord Su Mo... through combat!"
Jibril: "But, speaking of which, isn't the matter of Lord Su Mo and the newcomer more important than me?"
Jibril: "The newcomer is an unranked mob, so let's put her aside for now. But I'm surprised Lord Su Mo would offer to step in himself!"
After a quick glance at the newcomer's information, Jibril lost interest. She had expected the new members to get progressively stronger, but it seemed to be random. Compared to such a worthless existence, Su Mo's intentions were more worthy of attention.
Rin Tohsaka: "Honestly, I was a little surprised at first too!"
Rin Tohsaka: "But on second thought, this is totally in character for Lord Su Mo!"
Rin Tohsaka: "After all, in the beginning, besides getting stronger, wasn't Lord Su Mo's reason for coming to our worlds always to help?"
Rin clearly remembered that the first time she had actually met Su Mo was because she had asked him for help.
Erica Blandelli: "It's true! If it weren't for Lord Su Mo's kindness, I'd most likely be dead by now."
She also quickly recalled the time right after Su Mo joined the chat, when she was facing a divine beast, her life hanging by a thread. If Su Mo hadn't intervened, she would have been gored to death by that divine boar.
March 7th: "It was the same for us, I think! Lord Su Mo came over initially to resolve the space station crisis!"
Shiroyasha: "Same here!"
Madoka Kaname: "Wow, when you put it all together, Big Brother Su Mo has helped so many people!"
Though they had always held Su Mo in high regard, it wasn't until they took stock that the members fully realized his contributions. Unconsciously, Su Mo had already helped so many of them.
Jibril: "Eh? Is that how you all see Lord Su Mo? So am I the only one who's different?" the Flügel girl asked, slightly amazed. It seemed she was the special one.
To this, the twin-tailed girl unleashed a retort.
Rin Tohsaka: "Of course. You're the most special one in the whole group."
Her words made the others remember.
Erica Blandelli: "It's true! The only one who challenged Lord Su Mo after joining the chat, saying you were going to conquer it and make him your subordinate."
Erica Blandelli: "Honestly, the only reason you're still alive, Jibril, is because of Lord Su Mo's mercy."
Madoka Kaname: "True."
Seeing their messages, Shiroyasha, who was hearing this for the first time, was stunned.
This fanatical Flügel who was always clinging to Su Mo had such a past?
Jibril: "Ahem! Don't bring up old dirt! We agreed not to expose my dark history! Why are you all taking my money and not doing your job?"
The Flügel girl awkwardly tried to change the subject. Her moment of madness back then had become blackmail material now.
Hearing Jibril mention hush money, the others finally quieted down.
Rin Tohsaka: "We can dine out on this secret for the rest of your life... Ahem! I mean, with Lord Su Mo's character, it's perfectly normal for him to offer to help."
Rin Tohsaka: "I just didn't expect him to go himself."
Rin Tohsaka: "To think a mere Tier 1 Demon King could get Lord Su Mo to move. He's really blessed."
Hearing her, Shiroyasha nodded in understanding.
Shiroyasha: "Putting aside everything else, if this were the Little Garden, just being personally targeted by a Full-Authority Domain would be enough to establish a merit of at least four or five-digits."
Rin Tohsaka: "His death will have a greater impact than his entire thousand-year life."
Kanae Kocho: "Listening to you all, I feel like the villain here is unworthy of Lord Su Mo making a personal trip."
Kanae Kocho: "I'm so sorry our Demon King is such a disappointment."
The young woman was both excited and nervous, unsure how to handle Su Mo's impending arrival.
Rin Tohsaka: "It's fine. To the current Lord Su Mo, there's no difference between Tier 1 and Tier 5 anyway."
Rin Tohsaka: "By the way, we've been talking for a while. Where's the newcomer? Why isn't she saying anything?"
After the shock of Su Mo's intervention, she finally remembered the other message.
Based on the pattern of the last few times, she, like Jibril, had expected the newcomers to get stronger and stronger. But it seemed this time was different. Was it just an unranked ordinary person?
Kanae Kocho: "She's probably scared. The topics we were just discussing were a bit beyond reality."
Kanae Kocho: "@Tendō Kisara, are you okay, newcomer? Do you need help?"
The kind-hearted girl wanted to offer assistance to the new member.
Unfortunately, it seemed the newcomer had yet to grasp the situation and did not respond.
Just then, it was Su Mo who suddenly spoke.
Su Mo: "Let the newcomer process the information. Let's solve your problem first."
Su Mo: "@Kanae Kocho."
Kanae Kocho: "Yes!"
