Star Rail, Researcher Me Joins Chat Group

But there were plenty of idol groups with a bit of fame in this world, and even more idols with a bit of fame.

They were still a long way from truly becoming popular.

So how could Hoshino Ai not be happy when Chen Mu said he believed she would definitely make it big?

As Hoshino Ai walked, she secretly rejoiced to herself.

She had a very good impression of Chen Mu.

She was also somewhat curious about what kind of person Chen Mu really was.

However, with her attention not on the road, she carelessly bumped into someone.

"Ah, sorry."

Hoshino Ai staggered from the collision and hurriedly apologized.

She had been the one who got distracted.

After apologizing, Hoshino Ai was about to leave.

"Wait, Miss Hoshino Ai!"

However, the person she had bumped into called out to her loudly.

"Huh?"

Hoshino Ai froze and turned back in confusion.

She saw a fairly handsome young man.

"Miss Hoshino Ai! My name is Kamiki Hikaru! I like you! Please go out with me!"

"Wha-wha-what?!!"

Looking at the man before her, who was solemnly bowing to her, Hoshino Ai could not help widening her eyes and crying out in shock.

Right now, she paid no attention at all to Kamiki Hikaru before her. There was only one thought in her heart.

That accurate?!!

Chen Mu had just said she should not get into a relationship easily, and someone confessed to her right away?

That was way too accurate, wasn't it?

Was it a coincidence?!!

No matter how she thought about it, that seemed impossible, didn't it?

For some reason, Hoshino Ai suddenly felt excited.

Alright.

That guy had even claimed he was an ordinary person.

Someone who could tell fortunes, even across worlds—could he possibly be ordinary?

Was that something an ordinary person could do?

Thinking of this, Hoshino Ai eagerly turned around and prepared to leave.

"Um, Miss Hoshino Ai?"

Kamiki Hikaru froze, unable to understand what this meant.

Only then did Hoshino Ai remember he was still there and hurriedly said:

"Sorry, but I have no plans to date right now."

With that said, Hoshino Ai ran off immediately.

Leaving only Kamiki Hikaru standing there, utterly bewildered.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Ai's face was full of excitement.

She felt that she had caught Chen Mu's weakness. After some time passed, she would go and "hold him accountable."

She would make that "ordinary person" explain just how he knew she would be confessed to today!

Hehehe~

Meanwhile, Chen Mu on the Star Rail.

Naturally, he knew nothing about what had happened to Hoshino Ai.

Even if he had known, while he would surely have been stunned, he could still have declared himself innocent.

Because it really was just a coincidence.

Asta, the Older Sister

Date A Live World.

Tokisaki Kurumi looked at the Chat Group, which had fallen quiet, her face filled with stunned disbelief.

Compared to the others in the group, she was actually the least calm of them all.

It was not just because of the Chat Group, but also because of Chen Mu's world.

All of it left her, a newcomer like the others, unable to remain calm.

"Star Destroyers, Space Stations, Cosmic Trains... they already have all that. So even if they have something like a Time Machine, that would be pretty normal, right?"

As Tokisaki Kurumi spoke, she could not help but laugh herself.

But honestly, given the technology Chen Mu had described on his side, it really was possible.

As the Spirit of Time, Tokisaki Kurumi was extremely sensitive to time.

Moreover, she had always wanted to return to the past and change it.

Naturally, she cared deeply about it.

"Other worlds?" Tokisaki Kurumi murmured.

If it had been before, she would not even have dared to imagine such a thing.

But now, the truth was unfolding right before her eyes.

"No matter what, I should observe for a while first."

Tokisaki Kurumi thought to herself.

Her identity had not been exposed yet, so whether it was the Chat Group or Chen Mu, both were convenient to observe.

There was no need to rush whatever she wanted to do.

Star Rail world.

Space Station.

After resting for a while, Chen Mu woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy again.

Looking at the Nichirin Blade on the table not far away, Chen Mu knew that the Chat Group had not been a dream. He really could see the Chat Group.

Chen Mu glanced through the Chat Group a couple of times, but he was in no hurry to make an appearance.

Instead, he walked over to the Nichirin Blade.

He picked it up, casually weighed it in his hand a few times, and gave it a brief look.

Hmm... how should he put it?

The craftsmanship was rather old-fashioned.

Even though Chen Mu had never specifically studied forging, he could tell at a glance how crude its construction was.

As for the substance within it that could restrain demons, Chen Mu saw through it after only a couple of looks.

If he wanted to mass-produce this thing now, it would be absurdly easy. There was no technical difficulty at all.

In the end, the worlds were simply different.

Muzan Kibutsuji and the like from the Demon Slayer World...

From Chen Mu's current perspective, they were nothing worth mentioning.

If he wished, he had more than a hundred ways to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji.

Chen Mu let out a soft laugh, shook his head, and set down the Nichirin Blade.

Just then, "Xiao Mu! Xiao Mu!"

A series of calls rang out from outside Chen Mu's door.

Then, the door was pushed open.

A beautiful young girl entered with a cheerful smile.

She had pink hair, delicate features, and a graceful figure. Every movement, every smile and frown seemed brimming with vitality, making her incomparably charming.

When she saw Chen Mu, the lovely smile on her face grew even brighter.

"Why are you here, Asta?"

Chen Mu smiled as well when he saw the girl and greeted her.

That's right—the newcomer was Asta, the Space Station's nominal Station Master.

"You didn't come looking for me, so I had to come find you myself! And I figured you'd probably rested enough by now, so I came over~"

"And call me big sister!"

Asta first answered Chen Mu's question, then corrected him out of habit.

As usual, Chen Mu ignored it and said in surprise, "You really do know me well. I did just wake up."

"Of course! It's only natural for a big sister to care about her little brother!"

"Care enough to have a key to her little brother's room?"

Asta shrank back. "Uh, well... that's... a big sister's privilege! Yes! It's perfectly understandable."

Chen Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Understandable how? Never mind that I'm not your little brother—even if I were, what kind of proper big sister would have a key to her own little brother's room?"

"So what? I don't care!"

"...No, you're the one holding my key. I think you should be asking whether I care."

Chen Mu complained speechlessly.

But in truth.

He did not particularly mind it.

He and Asta had been very close since childhood, and he knew what she was like. Something this minor naturally did not matter.

Asta merely laughed it off, completely unconcerned.

"Besides, even if you came looking for me, I'd still have research to do. I wouldn't have time to go out and play with you." Chen Mu shook his head.

At that, Asta's face immediately fell. She pleaded coquettishly, "Come on, Xiao Mu, let's go for a walk together? It's been so long since we last went out together. Research can be done anytime—what's the rush?"
