Bab 18: As Expected Of You
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Never mind everything else, Eriri, I need your help!"
Ignoring Eriri's questions, Arifureta quickly changed the subject. She had just seen that the chat group had added a new cross-world teleportation function. Ever since she crossed over to this world, she had been trapped in a seal for nearly a month. Although she kept her consciousness focused on the chat group, not everyone could pay attention to the chat group all the time, so she still felt a bit stifled.
At this moment, Arifureta was sealed within a great underground labyrinth called Orcus, with her entire body below the neck trapped inside a cube-like seal. Her long blonde hair hung loosely down from her head, and through the gaps in her hair, a pair of beautiful ruby-like eyes could be seen. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and because of her several centuries-long imprisonment, she appeared quite haggard. Yet, even in this state, it was clear she had a beautiful, angelic face.
Being unable to move was quite unpleasant, and without any special items to trade for points in the chat group, Arifureta couldn't rely on it to break her seal. Although the new sign-in feature could provide points, it would take a considerable amount of time to accumulate enough to strengthen herself to the point of breaking the seal.
So she decided to ask Eriri for help. In her mind, she and Eriri would be family sooner or later. What's wrong with asking Eriri to rescue her future wife?
"Kashiwagi Eri: What's going on?"
"Arifureta (Group Leader): After I crossed over to the other world, I've been sealed in a large labyrinth in my world. I can't break the seal on my own."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Now that the chat group has a cross-world teleportation feature, which allows travel to members' worlds... would you please help me out? Pretty please?"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Well, I'd like to help, and I'm quite curious to meet you too, but I don't have enough points. It costs 1,000 points to buy a cross-world token in the store."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Great!"
Having gotten Eriri's agreement, Arifureta wanted to jump for joy, if only she could. For now, she could only shake her small head outside the seal to express her inner happiness.
"Arifureta (Group Leader): I'll cover the points. I only have 38 points now, but I can save them up through daily sign-ins. Plus, I get a 50% discount on items in the store as the group leader, so I just need to save up 500 points. It won't take too long."
"Flower Hashira: Arifureta, I have 84 points from the sign-in earlier. I can let you use them first, though it's not much."
"Arche Eeb Rile Furt: Group leader, I have some points you can borrow too."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Thanks, but no need. You're all short on points, especially Kanae, who needs points to enhance her strength. You never know when you'll have to face the second Upper Rank."
"Flower Hashira: But your situation seems more urgent..."
"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Arifureta makes a good point. You each have your own crises to face, so use your points for yourselves. My situation is different. My strength is at the pinnacle of my world, and nothing threatens me."
"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Plus, I don't have many points left. So, Arifureta, accept my gift."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Well... okay, but it can't be a freebie. Everyone's points are hard-earned. Consider it a loan. I'll pay you back double once I have more points. Thank you, Shinobu, and thanks to Kanae and Arche for your kindness."
"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Fine, but I've told you before, my name is Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. Shinobu is what a certain human will call me in the future."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Haha, it's just a habit from my previous life... Also, the kanji for 'heart under the blade' also spells 'Shinobu,' so calling you Shinobu isn't wrong!"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Yes, I also think calling her Shinobu is nice."
"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Well... whatever you prefer."
"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Is it through the red envelope feature? Being able to transfer items directly to another world is a magical function."
[Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire has sent you a red envelope.]
Receiving Shinobu's red envelope, though she had agreed to return double in the future, Arifureta opened it without hesitation.
[Ding, you received 200 points.]
"Ashen Witch: I have 91 points that I don't need. Group leader, you can borrow them. Just pay me back 200 points later."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): ... I knew it, you finally showed your true colors, didn't you?"
"Ashen Witch: True colors? My true colors of nobility, kindness, and innocence?"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Is this the legendary 'Evil Witch'? Quite a sight."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Wait... how does Eriri know the Evil Witch meme?"
"Kashiwagi Eri: You guess."
Eriri was delighted. She wondered what expression Arifureta would make when she read her message. It must be quite interesting.
She had never mentioned other group members' information before, waiting for this moment to reveal the truth. Eriri decided it was time to come clean again.
"Arifureta (Group Leader): ... Do you think I can guess?"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Guess if I can guess whether you can guess."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Stop, stop... no more of this! So what's going on? Tell me, Eriri. puppy eyes"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Actually..."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Actually, what? Don't leave me hanging, it's driving me nuts."
"Kashiwagi Eri: Actually, I'm also a reincarnated person. But unlike you, who possessed someone else, I was reincarnated with memories of my past life."
"Arifureta (Group Leader): What???"
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Wait... if you know the Evil Witch meme, does that mean there are anime works about us in your previous life?"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Yes, how does that make you feel? Surprised? Shocked?"
"Arifureta (Group Leader): Damn it... I've been played again... Orz"
"Kashiwagi Eri: Heh, Arifureta, everything about you is within my grasp. smug face"
