Irisu didn't have to do any of this. In fact, most of the people that Eru approached basically blew her off completely. Irisu could have easily done the same with no negative repercussions whatsoever.
Eru felt thankful to Irisu, and rightfully so. Irisu deserves more credit than what she's getting on this thread, imo.

I think the one who helped Chitanda out the most was the committee chairperson who told her she could have other booths sell the anthology for her. If it hadn't been for him, there would have been no quest for other venues to offload the anthology, and she would probably have had to wile away her time in the club room, being bored with Mr Grumpy. At least he saved her from that fate.
Since you labeled it as "totally free," do you think Irisu should have charged Chitanda for advice? Don't you think she already
owes Chitanda big-time for rescuing her from doom by getting Mr Grumpy to go to the "screening" and all that followed? Nonetheless, I don't think she had any choice than to give Chitanda the advice after being subjected to those mystical orbs.
As to feeling thankful, of course Chitanda does. She's the embodiment of a perfect young lady who shows respect and proper manners (whether or not the recipient deserves that respect or, as you say, credit). So why didn't Irisu
feel thankful for being rescued by Mr Grumpy and crew? Why didn't she give Mr Grumpy the credit he deserves?
