Now for the Q&A session.
Today was another intense one.
[Relaxed Viewer]
"Supposed to be relaxed" but gets caught up in things.
All because the radish was spicy…
[Relaxed Viewer]
So it wasn't bad spawning, it was a bug.
I feel like I'd just complain on the forum and be done with it lol
[Relaxed Viewer]
He said he was prepared, and indeed, his equipment has changed.
Leather armor with iron plates is a fairly common design, but I wonder if he's watching other players' videos?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Oh, that's exactly the question.
[Relaxed Viewer]
He said he watched videos and took inspiration, but that easily?
Can you really imitate it just by looking if you have the [Sewing] skill?
[Relaxed Viewer]
If you have a decent [Sewing] skill, yes.
If you have the actual item, you can use it as a pattern.
The iron plates are a matter of [Blacksmithing], though.
[Relaxed Viewer]
He can do both himself, right?
But he'd have to be able to, I guess lol
[Relaxed Viewer]
It seems the paralysis knife hit and caused a form change, but did it change due to accumulated damage?
Or did it change because of the status effect?
[Relaxed Viewer]
What about the theory that it stacked with Lupi-chan's lacerations?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Ah, that's another possibility.
[Relaxed Viewer]
And then the [Light Spirit] skill blinded it too, so the bear must have been in agony lol
[Relaxed Viewer]
And then it plunged headfirst into the sea lol
[Relaxed Viewer]
But he's so sporting, he actually jumps in during the live stream…
It was pretty high, wasn't it?
[Relaxed Viewer]
I think it was 3 meters.
Like jumping off the second story of a house?
…That's high.
[Relaxed Viewer]
It's high, but isn't the water cold?
In the Kingdom, the only place you can swim is the river, but it's just… you know.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Sewage flows right into it, after all.
If you go far upstream, it's really like a clear stream, though.
[Relaxed Viewer]
I've swum in a lake before.
To summarize, it's fine if you have even [Swimming Skill] Lv1.
If not, it's just cold.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Huh~, so it depends on having the [Swimming Skill]. That's interesting.
Was it 1 SP? I might take it too.
[Relaxed Viewer]
It's a shame there was no [Food Porn].
My wine bottle is empty from watching while drinking, though.
[Relaxed Viewer]
So, I'm not the only one.
It's good that in-IRO alcohol doesn't have an effect the next day.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Don't go into combat immediately after drinking.
If the 'intoxication' status effect reaches maximum, you'll reverse something pixelated! (Speaking from experience)
[Relaxed Viewer]
Seriously…
[Relaxed Viewer]
Oh, will they do it again next week?
Honestly, this has been the most anticipated stream lately.
[Relaxed Viewer]
I know, right~.
It's nice to watch while doing other tasks.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Huh?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Eh, what is that?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Hey, what's going on!?

[Devoted Adventurer]
Let's clear this up a bit.
Hojo Harune-chan from [Game Dolls] and her friends were developing a frontier, and Kafu-kun and his friends from [Units] joined them.
Since it was 'ladies first,' they built houses for the [Game Dolls].
When Harune-chan set her [My Home], the message "[Nation Founding] is possible. Declare?" appeared, and after deliberating for a while, she declared.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Isn't a frontier settlement considered part of the client's territory?
In the Kingdom, it's treated as the territory of the Viscount who requested it.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Huh, I guess Harune-chan and her group developed the [Ancient Ruins] area independently?
[Devoted Adventurer]
Huh, so if you develop it yourself, you can call it your own land…
[Devoted Adventurer]
[Units] got angry about the declaration of nation-founding, right?
[Devoted Adventurer]
I wonder if "angry" is the right word.
They probably protested that it was done without consultation.
[Devoted Adventurer]
The ones who were angry were the [Units] fans.
If a nation is founded, Harune-chan becomes king or queen, and they would essentially belong to it.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Eh? Just by declaring a nation, you become a citizen if you're there?
[Devoted Adventurer]
No, that's not how it works.
I was just gathering materials, completely unrelated to either, and my affiliation remained the same.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Hmm, then why are they arguing?
Couldn't they just continue developing peacefully?
If they didn't like it, they could leave… but that's harsh.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Well, it's more like a discussion about who's superior or inferior.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Ah~… That sounds troublesome.
And it's still under negotiation, then?
[Devoted Adventurer]
Looks like it.
I can't be bothered with it anymore, so I'm thinking of returning to the Republic soon.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Good work.
Well, I hope it settles into a peaceful resolution.
No point in Vs and fans feuding…
………
……
…
[Devoted Adventurer]
It seems to be resolved.
Hurane-chan and Kafu-kun are shaking hands.
The fans in the back, both sides, have really grim expressions.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Oh, seriously?
But well, this makes player-led nation management seem more realistic now.
[Devoted Adventurer]
I wonder about that.
I'm just worried about whether they can manage it successfully…
[Devoted Adventurer]
What would nation management even be like?
Player guilds can manage members, right?
[Devoted Adventurer]
You can do that with a [Magic Certificate Management Device] that issues [Guild Card]s.
However, budget management and [Storage] organization actually need to be done by players or by hiring NPCs.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Ugh, that sounds pretty tough.
Is it something they can really handle?
[Devoted Adventurer]
You don't need to overthink it that much.
If you hire proper NPCs, explain your policy, and entrust it to them, it'll be fine.
If players do it, the labor costs will be cheaper.
[Devoted Adventurer]
Harune-chan as the queen.
And ministers? Or a Prime Minister? Will members take those roles, and fans act as knights or officials?
[Devoted Adventurer]
Now that I know the terms of agreement between [Game Dolls] and [Units], I'll write them down.
The declaration of nation-founding cannot be revoked, so it will continue. This is unavoidable, apparently.
Furthermore, [Units] will receive an autonomous territory.
[Devoted Adventurer]
An autonomous territory, huh? Is it like a Border Count or something?
If they clash again over who's superior or inferior, they might separate and become independent, like the Principality…
