Damn I genuinely feels bad for kumoko to be swayed just by that dried fruit.
Anyways I was exactly at this part of the LN yeey I catch up. Though there's actually a lot of things that isn't mentioned on this manga specially about the Heroes part seems like he'll be having a huge part later on...
Rest in Peace. I too got a friend that I known in social media and it's been months since the last time he say anything to our group chat and we don't even have any idea where or what happened to him until now, and he's like the center of our group chat too.
