Because of the chaos caused by Eriri and Elf Yamada, even the previously silent members of the chat group began to appear and comment.
At the same time, everyone realized one thing—these two newcomers were not to be messed with.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara was practically fuming, enraged by the two girls' relentless teasing. He wanted nothing more than to cross worlds and teach them both a lesson.
Unfortunately, he was still in his deceased state. Even if he somehow revived, he didn't have enough points to traverse between worlds.
And even if he did, without their consent, he wouldn't be able to enter their world anyway.
That left him furious but helpless—anger trapped inside with nowhere to go, so much that he didn't even want to speak in the group anymore.
But Madara's silence didn't mean Eriri would leave him alone.
[Kashiwagi Eri: Hey, old man, cat got your tongue? Weren't you just threatening to kill us? What happened to all that bluster?]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Or did your fragile heart give out already? No way, right? No way!]
[Million-Word Author: Haha! No way, no way—that's hilarious~]
[Uchiha Dance King: !!!]
Madara could barely restrain himself anymore. He immediately sent a private message to Adam.
[Uchiha Dance King: Adam, boy—can you kick these two brats out of the group?]
[Uchiha Dance King: If you can do it, I'll give you any ability you want from me!]
[Adam: Well... I could do that, but wouldn't that be a bit harsh...?]
Though Adam secretly wanted to kick Eriri and Yamada out as well, he had to maintain his "benevolent leader" image. What he really wanted was for other members to agree first—that way, he could act without consequence.
[Uchiha Dance King: Harsh? Those two brats have foul mouths. They'll only cause more trouble later. Better to eliminate the problem now!]
[Adam: Hmm... you're not entirely wrong there...]
[Muscle God: No need to be so strict. They're just teenagers—kids like that love to tease and fool around, it's normal.]
[2.5 Satoru: Haha, I think they're pretty entertaining. Keeping them around might be fun~]
Seeing Gojo Satoru and Street Hero Meizo siding with the girls made Adam's expression darken.
He had thought everyone's impression of them would sour after that commotion. If he just took the initiative, surely the others would agree to remove them.
But to his surprise, some members were actually defending them—ruining his plan.
[Adam: Million-Word Author, Kashiwagi Eri, if you both apologize to Lord Madara and promise not to cause any more trouble, I can let this go.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Pfft! Who do you think you are? You want us to apologize? Are you out of your mind, or were you born without one?]
[Million-Word Author: Yeah! If you've got the guts, kick us out already. If not, stop barking, it's noisy!]
[Muscle God: Ladies, maybe tone it down a little...]
[2.5 Satoru: Yikes, can't mess with those two.]
[Kousei Arima: The newbies are... terrifying...]
[Phone Hero: What's going on? Come on, everyone, we're all friends here—no need to make things this tense.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: You guys don't have to say anything. I just want to see what they think they can do to us.]
[Uchiha Dance King: Adam, boy! What are you waiting for? They'll never respect you if you hesitate. Just kick them out!]
[Adam: Sigh... don't say I didn't give you a chance. You forced my hand.]
[Adam: As group leader, it's my duty to maintain peace in the chat. I'm sorry, but I'll have to remove you both.]
Although his tone sounded regretful, inwardly Adam was ecstatic. Finally, he'd have an excuse to get rid of the two troublemakers.
Without hesitation, he used his group leader privileges to try and remove Eriri and Yamada from the chat.
But the next instant, a flood of system notifications rang out—completely stunning him.
[You cannot perform this action!]
["Kick Member" function malfunction detected. Attempting repair... please wait.]
[Repair failed!]
[Retrying repair... please wait.]
[Repair failed!]
[Retrying...]
[Repair failed!]
[Retrying again...]
[Repair failed!]
[Chat Group has permanently disabled the "Kick Member" function!]
[System Error!]
[All group leader privileges revoked!]
"What... what's going on?"
Adam stared blankly at the string of system messages, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"My group leader privileges... gone? Just like that? Why would this even happen?"
Refusing to accept the truth, Adam tried to convince himself it was just a temporary bug. He attempted to mute Eriri using his remaining permissions.
The result shattered whatever hope he had left.
[You do not possess this permission!]
...
Meanwhile, deep within Adam's consciousness, the core of the Multiverse Chat Group was in complete disarray.
Just moments ago, it had sensed an unknown interference, stripping away most of its functions.
Other than the points system, store, red packet feature, and check-in function, every other ability had been locked down.
It couldn't even detach itself from its host, Adam—as if an invisible hand had taken full control.
And the most terrifying part? It hadn't even noticed when it happened.
It tried to send a warning to its host, but even the ability to communicate directly had been forcibly removed.
Of course, the one responsible for all this was none other than Eriri.
For someone like her, remotely manipulating a chat group from across universes was child's play.
Now, she could freely make the Multiverse Chat Group obey her commands. She could issue tasks at will, adjust the store's pricing, control how many points members earned during check-ins—even more outrageous actions were possible if she wanted.
Yet on the surface, Eriri acted as though nothing had happened, casually sending a new message into the chat.
[Kashiwagi Eri: Eh~ What's taking so long? I've been waiting forever, and you still haven't kicked me out?]
[Million-Word Author: Haha! Obviously, this guy was bluffing from the start!]
[Adam: ...]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Aw, what's wrong? I gave you a chance, and you couldn't even manage that!]
[Adam: After some thought... I've decided that you joining this chat group must be fate. It wouldn't be right to deprive you of such an opportunity. So... I'll let you both stay.]
Since he couldn't remove them, Adam decided to turn things around—if he couldn't get rid of Eriri and Yamada, he'd at least try to win favor with the others.
And indeed, his words worked. Several group members immediately praised his "magnanimity."
However, not everyone was convinced—particularly Uchiha Madara.
[Uchiha Dance King: Adam, boy, what are you doing?]
[Adam: Lord Madara, they're just young girls. You're a great man—no need to stoop to their level. I'll apologize on their behalf.]
[Uchiha Dance King: Hmph... you little brat...]
[Uchiha Dance King: Fine, fine. You're right. No need for me to get worked up over a pair of brats.]
Adam's attempt at diplomacy earned him more positive reactions from the crowd.
Aizen, meanwhile, found Adam's sudden change of heart suspicious, but since he had no idea the man had lost his admin rights, he kept his doubts to himself.
Eriri, however, simply smirked—and decided to stir the pot further.
Elf Yamada, of course, joined in enthusiastically.
[Kashiwagi Eri: Oh my, that's such a noble speech~ I almost believed it for a second.]
[Million-Word Author: Yeah, yeah~ Sounds good on paper, but let's be real—you just can't kick us out, can you?]
[Adam: ...]
[Adam: You two... do you have some kind of grudge against me or something?]
[Muscle God: Ladies, perhaps tone it down a bit. I don't think Adam did anything to offend you.]
[Kousei Arima: Yeah... Brother Adam seems like a good guy...]
[Kashiwagi Eri: You just don't get it.]
[Muscle God: Well, in any case, I hope everyone can get along peacefully here.]
[Uchiha Dance King: Adam, boy—let's change the subject.]
[Adam: Sure thing, Lord Madara. Let me tell you about your future.]
Adam was eager to move on from Eriri and Yamada. He was afraid that if he continued the argument, he'd lose his temper completely.
Madara's timely message gave him a perfect excuse to steer away from the chaos.
As for whatever Eriri said afterward, he decided to ignore it entirely. If he couldn't deal with them now, he'd just wait—once the chat group system returned to normal and he regained his leader privileges, he'd kick both of them out without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Eriri had no intention of arguing further either. She'd already set things up within the chat—all she needed to do now was wait and enjoy the spectacle that would follow.
After diverting her focus from the Multiverse Chat Group, Eriri entered the Same-Sex ♀ Friendship Group and shared everything that had happened.
Once the others heard her story, they were immediately intrigued. Everyone clamored to be added to the Multiverse Chat Group to "have some fun."
Eriri didn't refuse—she decided to wait a few days before bringing them in.
...
Three days passed quickly.
During that time, Eriri and Yamada didn't stir up any new trouble in the chat, which allowed Adam and the others to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they had no idea that this peace was merely the calm before the storm.
Without the two troublemakers causing chaos, the chat's atmosphere had grown relatively harmonious.
Adam even continued chatting with Uchiha Madara about future events, and to win Aizen's favor, he told him some details about what lay ahead—free of charge this time.
His efforts paid off. Aizen's attitude toward him became noticeably warmer.
Eriri, meanwhile, took the opportunity to get acquainted with several of the female members—including the elf priestess, Nanami Aoyama, and the fifteen-year-old Keika Kiyotaki.
There were also two non-anime female members.
But in those same three days, Adam encountered one annoyance after another.
He had signed in three times—and each time, he only received one point. One! He was used to getting at least fifty or more.
First his admin rights disappeared, and now his rewards had tanked—he was starting to suspect the system itself was targeting him.
And he wasn't the only one. Uchiha Madara, too, was receiving pitiful sign-in rewards—only two points a day.
At first, he assumed everyone's results were similar, but after hearing the other members announce their much higher totals, he and Adam both began to question reality itself.
Meanwhile, after several days of contemplation, Aizen decided to test the theory he had devised earlier—to see if he could create a perfect Hōgyoku.
Of course, he wouldn't start by sending his real incomplete Hōgyoku. Instead, he planned to experiment by sending a less valuable ability first.
And his chosen recipient was none other than Adam. As the chat group's supposed leader, Aizen figured it wouldn't hurt to maintain good relations with him.
But before Aizen could carry out his plan, Eriri made her next move—pulling an entire crowd of curious onlookers into the chat.
...
[Welcome Arifureta to the chat group.]
[Welcome Chika Fujiwara to the chat group.]
[Welcome Moeha Fujiwara to the chat group.]
[Welcome Ruri Gokou to the chat group.]
[...]
A flood of more than twenty "new member" notifications filled the chat, throwing everyone into stunned silence. Conversations halted mid-sentence as members froze in disbelief.
Eriri hadn't bothered to hide anyone's identity—she used their real names.
As the familiar names rolled down the screen, Elf Yamada's face lit up with astonishment. Still, she remembered Eriri's warning not to expose their connection, so she refrained from greeting the newcomers.
Adam, on the other hand, could barely breathe.
Every single one of the new arrivals was a name he recognized—or at least, ones that clearly belonged to girls.
Which meant... his "harem candidate list" had just grown by over twenty members in one go.
The sudden surge of potential love interests made him completely forget how suspicious this situation really was.
