Can I get your attention for a moment?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Guard, this one right here.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Too fast!
Well, it's about Seth-chan.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Guard, it's definitely this one.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Alright, that's enough.
So, Seth-chan is with a tall beauty in the Capital, who is that?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Hm? Isn't it Leona-sama?
[Typical Royal Subject]
No, you'd know if it was Leona-sama.
I think it's someone not famous.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Ah, from her gear, she looks like a beginner who just started.
They seem really close.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Isn't she a real-life acquaintance, or a friend?
If it were a guy, I'd be worried...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Hmmm, so no one knows, huh?
I'll follow them for a bit.
[Typical Royal Subject]
He's a stalker after all! LOL
...I'm curious too, so go easy, okay?
[Typical Royal Subject]
I have [Presence Concealment] skill level 5, so I have no intention of causing trouble.
It's just a bit of curiosity.
[Typical Royal Subject]
That sounds like a flag to me...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Hearing 'tall beauty'.
Where are they?
[Typical Royal Subject]
They just left the Adventurer's Guild and are walking towards the Noble Quarter.
Ah, they're probably going to that famous big shop.
[Typical Royal Subject]
That famous big shop?
[Typical Royal Subject]
It's Seth-chan's favorite weapon and armor shop, or rather, a wholesaler.
Didn't they pull a lot of strings when the [Silver Manor] was being built?
[Typical Royal Subject]
I see.
If she were just an in-game friend, she wouldn't suddenly take her to a place like that, so it must be a real-life acquaintance.
…
[Typical Royal Subject]
Uhm... I was found out.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Goodbye.
I won't forget you...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Don't just randomly BAN me.
Actually, it seems I was noticed from the start.
They told me to help if I was watching, so I joined their party.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Guh, I'm jealous!
Is there an open slot?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Unfortunately, the guy doing the same thing as me got caught, so it's full.
I wonder how I was noticed...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Tch, just go work hard and shut up lol
Report later, please!
…
[Typical Royal Subject]
What happened to him?
Was he another 'lost a valuable person' type?
[Typical Royal Subject]
What happens with a harassment report for stalking?
Do they just become invisible to each other or something?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Apparently, you become a priority surveillance target for the AI.
If it's deemed 'out of bounds' there, you get a warning.
Being prohibited from approaching within X meters is the same as in real life.
If it escalates beyond that, it's a BAN.
[Typical Royal Subject]
I just got back.
Honestly, I'm dead tired...
[Typical Royal Subject]
So you weren't BANned, lol
[Typical Royal Subject]
I'm aware I did something bad out of curiosity.
But I was worked to death for it, so please forgive me.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Lucky for you it was Seth-chan.
If you did that to a timid person, you might actually get reported.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Seriously, my bad.
Because of that, Seth-chan asked me something, so let me tell you.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Well, well, just be careful next time...
What did she ask you?
[Typical Royal Subject]
The tall beauty is Seth-chan's real-life older sister, and her name is Marie.
If you make an enemy of her, the [Silver Manor] will make an enemy of you with full force.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Seriously...?
Even if Seth-chan is the Guild Master, can she really say that much?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Apparently, some of the production members are also acquaintances of her sister.
And let me tell you something else, Marie-san is insanely strong.
I was made to do PvP as practice, and I lost easily...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Huh? She just started a few hours ago, didn't she?
[Typical Royal Subject]
She did.
Please spare me any more, even for a scout build, my spirit is broken...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Well, well, PvP matches levels, so!
(I think you can use arts if you've acquired them, right?)
[Typical Royal Subject]
Levels are matched, and stats are adjusted accordingly.
But skills, including arts, should remain as they are.
Proficiency with weapons and armor also remains, so higher levels should still have an advantage.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Who is she...
[Season@Silver Manor]
So this is what happened, huh...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Hee! I'm sorry!
[Season@Silver Manor]
They both don't mind, so it's fine.
They said you worked hard for it.
Did you get paid for your work?
[Typical Royal Subject]
Yes.
I said it wasn't necessary, but they wouldn't listen...
[Season@Silver Manor]
They're both like that, so don't worry about it.
Also, please write down exactly how you lost to Marie-san.
[Typical Royal Subject]
How I lost?
Huh? What do you mean?
[Typical Royal Subject]
I was punched bare-handed and lost...
No, I mean, I had gauntlets, so not bare-handed, but...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Whaaat!?
A grappler, no way?
[Typical Royal Subject]
And I was kicked...
I got completely beaten up...
[Typical Royal Subject]
What is that, I'm so jealous (text cut off here)
[Season@Silver Manor]
She's like a walking weapon, so please be careful.
We'll also prepare weapons and armor for that purpose at the [Silver Manor].
Well then~ ♪
[Typical Royal Subject]
'Walking weapon'... I haven't heard that phrase in a long time...
[Typical Royal Subject]
Being tall means, of course, a long reach.
Is fighting without being bound by 'weapons' actually strong?
[Typical Royal Subject]
No, what if the opponent is tough?
Even with gauntlets, isn't punching golems bare-handed reckless?
[Typical Royal Subject]
I don't think it'd be much different with a sword, in that regard.
Golems probably need blunt weapons...
[Typical Royal Subject]
I bet her sister has mastered some ultimate techniques.
[Typical Royal Subject]
The monk type.
Can strike with both hands and feet.
[Typical Royal Subject]
Not just limb destruction, but spirit-breaking design too!
[Typical Royal Subject]
Ah!
