章 74: Kanae is Anxious
Ignoring the twenty or so guards within the palace and the tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers outside, Eriri led Arifureta, Shea, and Reina into the sky above the Imperial City.
Drawing on her cosmic energy, Eriri extended her hand and released a white energy orb into the sky. As it ascended to a certain height, the orb suddenly spread out, forming a transparent white energy barrier that encompassed the entire Imperial City.
Those who had been waiting in line to enter the city found themselves blocked outside by the barrier, while those inside who wished to leave were unable to pass through it.
Initially, people were frustrated, angrily pounding on the barrier in an attempt to force their way through, but their efforts were in vain. The barrier merely rippled like water without showing any signs of breaking.
As time passed, more and more people gathered at the city gates, and the Imperial soldiers stationed there were at a loss, unable to control the growing agitation among the crowd.
Eventually, word spread from within the Imperial City, bringing with it terrifying news: the Emperor and Crown Prince had been assassinated by invaders, and the barrier surrounding the city was the work of these same invaders.
This news quickly spread throughout the city, plunging the population into panic. Those outside, who had previously been frustrated at being unable to enter, now felt relieved, while those who had wanted to leave became increasingly fearful, attacking the barrier with renewed desperation.
Floating in the sky, Eriri observed the panic-stricken city below with a charming smile on her face. "It's time."
"Eriri, what exactly are you planning to do?" Arifureta looked at the barrier covering the city and then back at Eriri, her face full of confusion.
Shea, on the other hand, did not share Arifureta's confusion. Instead, she gazed at Eriri with admiration.
"Hmm, I'm going to start a live broadcast and stream what's happening in the Imperial City to the entire world."
"Huh? You can do that? Like Babidi in Dragon Ball when he released Majin Buu and everyone could see it by closing their eyes?" Arifureta's interest was piqued, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Eriri.
Eriri gently flicked Arifureta's forehead, chuckling. "What are you thinking? Of course not like that."
Arifureta rubbed her forehead, then grabbed Eriri's hand, gently shaking it as she pouted, "Then what's it like?"
"Eriri! Arifureta! What's this live broadcast you're talking about?" Shea suddenly interrupted, her eyes filled with excitement.
Even Reina, who was cradled in Eriri's arms, was now looking at them with wide, curious eyes. The mention of a new term, something that could let the entire world see what was happening, was something neither of them had ever heard of before.
Gently stroking Reina's fluffy fox ears, Eriri softly explained, "Well... it's a way to project what's happening here, both the images and sounds, to other places. I'll spread my power across the world, creating large screens in the sky above every town and village. Then, I'll broadcast what's happening here to the entire world through those screens."
"So amazing!" Shea and Reina exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with awe. Even the usually quiet Reina couldn't help but express her amazement.
"Won't this kind of delicate operation be exhausting?" Arifureta asked with concern, her face showing more worry than surprise. She knew that such a feat required not just power but also immense mental focus.
Eriri shook her head, smiling lightly. "Of course not. It's not a big deal—really easy for me. My power is pretty versatile, you know."
Hearing this, Arifureta finally relaxed, though a hint of envy still lingered in her expression. "I wonder when I'll be able to do something like that."
"You will, someday. Didn't I say I'd help you reach that point?" Eriri tenderly stroked Arifureta's cheek, her eyes filled with affection.
Watching the sweet exchange between the two, Shea's mouth fell open in surprise, while Reina, sandwiched between them, instinctively hugged Eriri tighter, burying her face in her chest.
"So, Eriri and Arifureta are in that kind of relationship?"
Shea's sudden outburst broke the moment, causing Eriri and Arifureta to pause their tender gazes. Arifureta simply hugged Eriri's right arm and, without a hint of shame, declared, "Yes, exactly as you're thinking."
Not wanting to be left out, Shea quickly moved to Eriri's other side, hugging her left arm with a determined expression. "I want to have that kind of relationship with Eriri too!"
With one arm enveloped by Shea's soft, ample chest and the other caught between Arifureta's equally soft, though smaller, curves, Eriri felt a wave of pure contentment wash over her.

[Flower Hashira: No, I need to hurry up, or someone else might snatch her away first.]
[Archangel Gabriel: What's the rush? Anyway, Eriri has already decided to take care of me. I'll rely on her to support me for the rest of my life.]
[Flower Hashira: ???]
[Flower Hashira: When did that happen? Wasn't it interrupted last time?]

[Archangel Gabriel: @Kashiwagi Eri, Eriri, when are you going to send me some money? I'm out of cash for microtransactions, and I'm starving.]
[Ashen Witch: I need money too!]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Uh, well...]
[Flower Hashira: Eriri, when do you have time to come and play?]
[Archangel Gabriel: Eriri, hurry up. I'm about to starve.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: One at a time, one at a time. WipeSweat.jpg]
[Arifureta (Group Leader): Oh ho ho ho ho ↗, it seems that in the end, the true victor is me. Smug.jpg]
