"Alright, Lumine, stop clinging to Erina. Look, she can barely stand."
Liu Yueyan grabbed Lumine's arms from behind, rescuing Erina from her clutches.
"Hah... hah... thank you, Group Leader."
Erina collapsed on the floor, panting with a flushed face, and thanked Liu Yueyan.
"Uh, it's nothing. You can just call me Liu Yueyan."
Seeing Erina's state, Liu Yueyan couldn't help but admire Lumine's practiced skills. To get Erina like this in such a short time... if it had just been the two of them, who knows what would be happening by now?
Erina took a moment to catch her breath before her composure returned.
"Everyone, should we introduce ourselves first? Or go straight to breakfast?"
"Let's do introductions first. After all, there are two newcomers we haven't properly met yet!"
Liu Yueyan said, her gaze turning to Chito and Yuri in their military uniforms, and then to the particularly resolute-looking JOJO! That is, Jotaro Kujo.
"Hello, I'm Liu Yueyan, the leader of this chat group."
"I'm Lin Tian, also known as the Lord of the World. And yes, just as you're thinking, I control a world."
"This little one is Shiho Miyano, Her Highness Ai from the group. She's currently my personal handmaiden."
"I'm Shinobu Kocho, hello!"
"Hellish Blizzard. Hello."
"You! Lin Tian! Making someone as cute as Ai a handmaiden! It's so enviable... no, it makes me so jealous... no, it's despicable! You're employing child labor!"
"First of all, Ai is an adult who only looks like this because of a drug. Secondly, even if you hug my leg and beg, I won't let you have her."
Lin Tian said cruelly, looking down at Lumine who was hugging his leg.
"Right, this one is Lumine. She's a piece of trash. You can call her Trash Lumine from now on."
"Hi everyone! I'm Paimon, and I'm Lumine's..."
Lin Tian: "Emergency food."
Liu Yueyan: "God's Mouth."
Hellish Blizzard: "Flying midget melon."
Shinobu Kocho: "A talking Seelie."
Shiho Miyano: "White high-intelligence floating assistant unit."
Erina Nakiri: "Silver companion star."
"What! What are all these nicknames! Paimon is obviously the Traveler's best friend! Where did you all come up with these names!"
Seeing Paimon's puffy-cheeked anger, the group found it amusing. Teasing the little one was quite fun sometimes.
"My name is Ash Ketchum, and my goal is to become a Pokémon Master!"
"Great expression. Click!"
"I'm Men Yashi, a destroyer of worlds, and just a passing-by Kamen Rider."
Hearing Men Yashi's introduction, everyone present was a bit speechless. Of everyone in the room, only his titles made him sound like a villain.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chito, and this is Yuri."
Chito pulled back Yuri, who was about to run off, and introduced themselves to the group.
"Hmm, this face is so soft and bouncy. I feel like I could get addicted to this!"
Lumine, having escaped Liu Yueyan's grasp at some point, had run over to Chito and was now poking her small face, which wobbled like jelly.
"Jotaro Kujo."
Jotaro Kujo was a man of few words. To be honest, he wasn't good at this kind of situation. He would rather be fighting DIO than participating in this breakfast gathering.
However, since this was his first time at a group member gathering, and he was a little curious about other worlds, he decided to participate. But now he was starting to regret it. Did it really matter whether he came or not?
"Honestly, I've always had a question. Is it because you shot yourself that Star Platinum's range is so short? After all, in the old version, Star Platinum could be more than ten meters away from you."
Lin Tian looked at Jotaro Kujo with a puzzled expression. As someone who had seen the old version, he sometimes wondered if 'Blue Jo' was the Stand, or if Star Platinum was the Stand. After all, in the old version, both Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum were absolute beasts, completely incomparable to other Stand users.
"This..."
Jotaro Kujo was stumped by Lin Tian's words. 'Wasn't Star Platinum's range always like this? Could it really go farther before? And what does he mean by 'old version'? More than ten meters away? Would that even be my Star Platinum anymore?'
"Don't worry about it. In the old version, the production team just exaggerated Star Platinum's abilities. Besides, Jotaro can increase its range later using points, so there's no need to care about this stuff."
Liu Yueyan came to Jotaro Kujo's rescue. Although she was also curious, you couldn't force someone to answer a question they didn't know the answer to, right?
"Hmph. Yare yare."
Jotaro Kujo let out a breath. It was a good thing someone had helped him out, otherwise, he wouldn't have known what to do. But a question had formed in his mind: was it really because he shot himself that Star Platinum became worried, causing its range to shorten?
Finally, it was Erina's turn.
"Hello everyone, I'm Erina Nakiri, and this is my cousin, Alice Nakiri."
"Ah? Oh, hello everyone. I'm Alice Nakiri. You can all just call me Alice from now on."
Alice Nakiri was momentarily surprised that Erina had actually introduced her. After coming to her senses, she began her own introduction.
"Since everyone knows each other now, shouldn't we... get some breakfast?"
"Let's go. Let's taste this world's cuisine. I wonder if it'll feel like eating an aphrodisiac? I'm kind of looking forward to it!"
"I hope not? If I really made those kinds of sounds, I'd be so socially dead I'd want to destroy the world."
"We should take some back for the others to try. Maybe we can capture some of their embarrassing moments?"
"That's a great idea! Very creative! Blizzard, I never realized you were such a black-bellied girl. You're not planning on giving it to your sister, are you?"
"Yes."
"......Alright, I wish you success."
"Stop chatting, you guys. Let's catch up, everyone else has already gone inside."
...
The group arrived in a large hall where all sorts of egg-based delicacies were already being sold. The resort was bustling with people.
A girl with short pink hair suddenly ran over to Erina and said, "Erina, where did you just go? How could you just dump the work on me and run off? The customers are getting a little unhappy!"
"Oh, unhappy? Let them be unhappy. I have more important guests to attend to."
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri was completely unconcerned. To her, this breakfast competition was meaningless. The entire family was in her hands now; whatever she wanted to do was simply a matter of her say-so.
"More important guests?"
Hisako Arato looked towards the group following behind Erina.
