Star Rail: I, a Researcher, Joined the Chat Group

If Chen Mu ran into trouble because of her.

Even if it was an accident.

Kochou Kanae would find it hard to accept.

Chen Mu: "Don't worry, Kanae. I got back in time, so nothing happened to the Space Station."

Kochou Kanae: "That's good."

Only then did Kochou Kanae let out a sigh of relief and finally relax.

Hoshino Ai: "Hehe, it's good that nothing happened. But if it's Lord Chen Mu, I feel like nothing could possibly happen to you anyway, right?"

Gotoh Hitori: "Y-yeah, I feel the same way."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Rather than Mr. Chen Mu, I feel more sympathy for Mr. Chen Mu's enemies."

Chen Mu: "...You really have a lot of faith in me. There are still many powerful beings in the universe. I'm just a researcher; I don't possess the kind of overwhelming power they do."

Chen Mu was filled with emotion.

Although it had not been particularly obvious when he played the game in his previous life.

Thinking back to the several Aeons of this world, as well as the many Emanators under each of them...

He had to admit it.

This world was actually full of danger.

Each and every one of them.

Were terrifyingly powerful beings.

Compared to them.

He was merely an ordinary researcher, without their immense power.

How could he possibly contend with them? Sigh.

Hoshino Ai: "Hehehe, I believe you~"

Hoshino Ai: "But why was Lord Chen Mu's Space Station attacked? Was it because Lord Chen Mu's inventions were exposed? Did people outside find out and come to steal Lord Chen Mu's research materials?"

Chen Mu: "...You really have quite an imagination."

Chen Mu: "Our Space Station is rather special in the universe and holds a unique status. Basically, we don't have any enemies."

Chen Mu: "The ones who attacked us were a group of lunatics in the universe—the Anti-Matter Legion, whose goal is to destroy worlds. They have no reason for destroying worlds. To them, destroying worlds is simply their duty."

Chen Mu: "Come to think of it, this time was somewhat dangerous. The Anti-Matter Legion even deployed a Planetary-level Weapon—the Doomsday Beast."

???

A planetary-level weapon?!!

Everyone who heard this.

Had slightly blank expressions on their faces.

Could it be the kind of thing they were imagining, something that destroyed planets and the like?

At that moment, all the girls broke out in cold sweat.

As expected of Chen Mu's world—interstellar wars happened at the drop of a hat, and planets constantly had the word "danger" hanging over their heads.

But while they were shaken.

The girls were also somewhat excited.

After all, who had ever seen such a scene? Just imagining it, it had to be spectacular.

Hoshino Ai: "Lord Chen Mu, Lord Chen Mu, how did you deal with the enemy in the end?!"

Chen Mu: "I just played around a little... Ahem, I deployed a Star Destroyer."

Hoshino Ai: "A Star Destroyer?!!"

Hoshino Ai: "Aaaah!!! Lord Chen Mu, you should've livestreamed it! Why didn't you livestream it back then?!!!"

Upon hearing those three words.

Hoshino Ai's eyes lit up, followed immediately by a mournful wail.

She still remembered how shocked she had been when she first heard of a Star Destroyer.

Or rather, she was still just as shocked by it now.

The Doomsday Beast and the Star Destroyer, both capable of destroying planets.

Just thinking about them, Hoshino Ai could imagine how magnificent that scene must have been.

And she had actually missed such a sight.

That was far too regrettable.

Chen Mu: "Why would I livestream it?"

Chen Mu blinked, utterly baffled.

Hoshino Ai: "..."

Hoshino Ai was rendered speechless upon hearing that.

For a moment, she had no response at all.

That was right—why would Chen Mu start a livestream?

There were no Points to be gained from livestreaming.

But...

From what Hoshino Ai understood, wasn't what people loved most bragging about themselves, wishing they could show off every single day?

Wouldn't something like this be the perfect opportunity?

If it were someone else, they probably would have started livestreaming long ago.

Had Lord Chen Mu sworn off showing off or something? How could he hold himself back even from this?

But thinking about it carefully, Lord Chen Mu really didn't care about such things. He was clearly so incredible, yet he often said he was just an ordinary person, nothing special.

He was different from everyone else.

But because of that, she hadn't gotten to see those stunning, silent, futuristic scenes either.

After all...

She had always been curious about Lord Chen Mu's world.

This was far too regrettable.

Hoshino Ai wept inwardly.

Hoshino Ai: "@Chen Mu, Lord Chen Mu, if something like this happens again, could you please start a livestream? I'm begging you..."

Chen Mu: "...Alright."

Chen Mu's mouth twitched. He had no idea what was going on, but he agreed for the time being anyway.

Kochou Kanae: "Haha, Ai-chan is so interesting. But speaking of which, I really didn't expect that your world, Chen Mu, would actually have creatures whose sole purpose is destruction."

Chen Mu: "They're followers of Nanook, the Destruction Aeon. That's fairly normal."

Kochou Kanae: "The Destruction Aeon?"

Demon Slayer World.

Kochou Kanae froze the instant she heard that name.

A god?

Could it really be what she thought it was?

Kochou Kanae: "Um... Chen Mu, this Destruction Aeon... it wouldn't be what I think it is, a god from legend, would it...?"

Chen Mu: "That's right."

"Eh, eh, eh?!!!"

This time, everyone cried out in shock!

Gods?!!

Hoshino Ai hurriedly asked, "Do gods exist in Lord Chen Mu's world too?"

Chen Mu: "They do. Not only are there gods, but dragons, foxes, and things like that exist as well."

"???"

Everyone was utterly stunned at that moment.

There was too much information.

They couldn't process it all at once.

All along...

They had thought Chen Mu's world was simply a high-tech world with extraordinarily advanced technology that had reached the cosmos.

Yet now he was telling them...

Even gods and fantasy creatures like dragons existed there?

What kind of world was that?

Everyone felt as though Chen Mu's world had suddenly become incomprehensibly chaotic.

No wonder Chen Mu always said he was an ordinary person. Perhaps, in his world, he really was ordinary?

Date A Live World.

Tokisaki Kurumi's face was filled with astonishment upon hearing Chen Mu's words.

"A world with incredibly advanced technology that also has gods???"

Like everyone else.

Tokisaki Kurumi's first thought was, What kind of world is this?

However.

She was quickly tempted.

Because this also meant that.

Mr. Chen Mu's world was anything but ordinary.

If it was Mr. Chen Mu's world.

Then perhaps it really could help her fulfill her wish.

At that thought.

Tokisaki Kurumi's gaze hardened with determination.

She said in the group chat.

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Um, Mr. Chen Mu, could I use my newcomer's free travel chance to apply to go to your world? @Chen Mu"

Hearing Tokisaki Kurumi's words, Chen Mu was slightly taken aback.

He had not expected.

That Tokisaki Kurumi would suddenly say she wanted to come to his world.
