Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I think she's not just crazy, she's sick! Maybe the nun life made her too stressed, so she developed a stress-related mental illness?
Doujin Artist: Maybe, we have a lot of that here too.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Does Eriri's area also have nuns working as pimps?
Doujin Artist: Not that. It's more like seemingly quiet girls, going around with knives killing everyone. Completely forced to the edge by this world.
Shark-Faced Guy: I feel like you're hinting at someone in our group, but I have no proof.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Going around with knives killing everyone... Kotonoha?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hahaha, Kotonoha really fits that description!
Machete Girl: Um, I don't think I'm that violent.
Curly-haired Guy: Do you dare bring out your real self and argue, don't you know how violent you are?
Doujin Artist: Don't get me wrong, I'm not hinting at Kotonoha. I'm talking about a real case from here, don't overthink it. That girl is still a member of our team.
Wig Guy: I want to ask, how many people are on your team now? Are they all girls?
Doujin Artist: About seventeen or eighteen, I think it's not all girls. Well, I'm not in charge of counting or recruiting people, Kasumigaoka handles that. I'm just the muscle.
Wig Guy: That won't do! Men can't be allowed to stay in a team like that, no one can guarantee they won't have bad thoughts! How about this, I'll come help you for free, keep an eye on those men!
Doujin Artist: ?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ?
Machete Girl: Saying you're keeping an eye on the men, Wig Guy, you're not planning on stealing from the till, are you?
Wig Guy: How could I! Don't you trust my character? I'm Kotaro Katsura!
Doujin Artist: Sorry, I really don't trust you.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I don't trust you either.
Machete Girl: Same here.
Curly-haired Guy: Actually, not trusting you isn't totally true. Whether he'll steal from the till depends on the number of married women on your team, you know what I mean?
Lin Fengjiao: I kind of get it.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Married woman killer, Wig Guy?
k
Doujin Artist: The problem is he's not just a married woman killer now, we also have to consider if he'll join a mother-daughter combo special! That gives me the creeps!
Curly-haired Guy: Damn, that's a big problem!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Suddenly remembered, Eriri's mom is really pretty.
Machete Girl: Yeah, Auntie's name is Sayuri Sawamura, right?
Doujin Artist: You guys remember my mom's name so clearly, do you even remember my full name?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Isn't it Sawamura Eriri?
Doujin Artist: There's a middle name too, a middle name! Spencer! Sawamura Spencer Eriri!
Machete Girl: Ah, so Eriri's full name is that long?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: It's too long to remember.
Doujin Artist: Humph, you call yourselves good friends! Turns out you're all after my mom? I misjudged you!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: We're not, we're not like Wig Guy who's into married women!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Yeah, not like my dear who's into married women.
This is an Actor: ? Forced connection?
Machete Girl: Hahaha, Anzen got randomly shot this time! It's just a complete disaster! But even if we can't remember your full name, Eriri, we can still remember your stage name.
Lin Fengjiao: Eriri, you have a stage name?
This is an Actor: Teacher Eri Kashiwagi, peak debut.
Doujin Artist: Aaaah, shut your mouth! Didn't we agree not to bring up that old joke?
Curly-haired Guy: Who agreed with you, I, Gin, didn't see you agree with anyone!
Doujin Artist: You troublemaker, shut up!
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: You guys can really talk, jumping from the nun topic straight to Eriri's stage name. You guys are really unpredictable.
Big Bad Guy from Soul Society: As unpredictable as we are, it's still not as good as you, Mr. Rati. When will you give us another live stream of your gymnastics routine?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Haha, Miss Hana has learned to tease people now.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Sister Konan, there's something wrong with this sentence. Mr. Rati isn't a person! But this topic has really gone off track, let's get back to the main topic.
Curly-haired Guy: What's the main topic? The nun topic or the Eriri's team topic?
Doujin Artist: There's nothing to talk about with my team, it's like going to work every day. Eat, sleep, fight monsters, and occasionally rescue people living in misery. But you can't rescue everyone, and things have developed to the point where it's no longer a natural disaster.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Not a natural disaster? How do you mean?
Doujin Artist: The higher-ups are not doing their jobs, the violent forces only protect the interests of the rich, and the rich only think about making money off the national crisis. This vicious cycle is causing the affected population to grow even larger.
Machete Girl: Then it's really not a natural disaster, it's a man-made problem.
Doujin Artist: My area is still okay. In Shinjuku, they've built high walls. Outside the walls are slums, inside the walls are the high-ups partying. Can you imagine the scene?
This is an Actor: Medieval Europe was a typical example of that.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: So it's really like we're back in medieval times, scary!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Unless we get rid of these tumors, the people's lives will never get better.
Doujin Artist: That's what I think too. But it's easy to destroy an old world on a physical level, but it's hard to get rid of old ideas on a mental level. It needs to be done slowly.
This is an Actor: Good. You can think like this, you're not far from success.
Doujin Artist: I'm not flattering you here, it's because of your teaching. If it wasn't for your teaching, I really wouldn't have learned to see the world with open eyes and analyze things critically.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Anzen is really a mentor.
This is an Actor: Once you awaken to the right understanding and awareness, everyone is a mentor. Spreading the spark is not a one-time thing, it's a long-term, sustainable effort. Each of us is a spark, and also a seed of fire! Waiting for the mountains to turn red, to see the forests dyed crimson.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: "Mountains turning red, forests dyed crimson!" What a great poem!
This is an Actor: Ah, that's what my mentor wrote. Also, Kotonoha, the nun near you might be a problem, be careful.
Machete Girl: Huh?
This is an Actor: Right after you killed that evil spirit, a nun came to your door and became your neighbor. Isn't that quite a coincidence?
