[Uninhabited Island Live Stream] Mion and Shou's Relaxed Showtime [Shou-kun & Lupi-chan]

What is this update…
Isn't this targeted at the island!? (Angry)
Are you saying 1.2.9 is ironic!?!?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Now, now, calm down.
This is a relaxed thread, you know?
[Relaxed Viewer]
I'm sorry…
But this really looks like a targeted update, doesn't it?
[Relaxed Viewer]
For island fans, it's a god-tier update, though~.
Many probably have Civil Engineering or Taming.
[Relaxed Viewer]
For us, it's like, 'finally.'
But for people not involved, it looks like blatant favoritism.
[Relaxed Viewer]
NPC stuff should be universally welcome, though.
And the indirect contribution increase?
[Relaxed Viewer]
My playtimes don't match up with regular players, so the NPC issue is a blessing.
Hiring NPCs to act meant I had to take a huge safety margin.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Fellow player!.
Even just getting them injured was nerve-wracking.
I want to send a super chat as thanks for the god-tier update, but it's tough when the live stream is during work.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Speaking of which, are they not going to do premium members?
They've already surpassed the hurdles for it, right?
[Relaxed Viewer]
I think they don't want to create disparities among fans.
Even Bell-taso, who's a senior VTuber, isn't doing it.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Then, can't they make merchandise?
I want the Magic Wolf Fang Pendant they all wear.
[Relaxed Viewer]
I feel that.
[Relaxed Viewer]
Productize the Jade Goddess Mion statue?
[Relaxed Viewer]
Lupi-chan plushie now…

[Typical Republic Citizen]
Clearly an island update.
Seriously, thank you very much.
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Seriously, I'm a little put off, though?
Isn't that too much favoritism?
[Typical Republic Citizen]
Are you new?
Well, I can understand how you feel.
[Typical Principality Citizen]
The NPC thing is a real lifesaver.
The young (?) Elves keep nagging to be taken to the Necropolis.
They seem really interested in the Necropolis stories.
[Typical Imperial Citizen]
Oh, same for you.
Here, the young Giants I befriended keep asking to be taken.
I was worried because I couldn't take responsibility if something happened.
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Huh?
Bird Nobles don't say that.
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Don't call them Bird Nobles lol lol.
I haven't seen them recently, what happened to them?
[Typical Republic Citizen]
My initial wording was bad, but it's a welcome update.
The Demon Kingdom route has many NPCs.
Well, since relationship deterioration is explicitly stated, I can't be purely happy about it.
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Princess Anshia probably wouldn't care.
She'd likely be dry even if NPCs died.
[Typical Principality Citizen]
Freeze-dried. (Smug face)
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Who asked for a clever pun? (Smug face)
[Typical Principality Citizen]
You can freeze-dry by alternating between cooling and drying magic.
[Typical Imperial Citizen]
Seriously!? I'm gonna go try it!
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
But meeting an NPC and possessing an item is too obvious.
Civil Engineering and Taming too.
[Typical Republic Citizen]
If you go to the Necropolis, you can befriend the Dragonfolk guards.
Wine is good for offerings, by the way.
Also, related items don't seem to be just the Nameless Goddess Statue.
[Typical Imperial Citizen]
Huh? This is the first I've heard of that?
[Typical Principality Citizen]
Guild journals written about the Necropolis also count.
[Typical Imperial Citizen]
Oh, I see.
Would even copied ones be okay?
[Typical Principality Citizen]
Transcribed oral traditions probably count too.
This also falls under the 'information gathering' contribution.
[Typical Republic Citizen]
In short, investigate properly before rushing in.
And if you investigate, share it properly with your comrades.
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
What about Civil Engineering and Taming?
[Typical Kingdom Citizen]
Players who awakened to development in the previous World Quest have Civil Engineering.
The Applied Earth Magic Grimoire is also circulating.
[Typical Republic Citizen]
Taming goes without saying.
Merchants like us, who often tame horses, find it very helpful.
It's hard to gain experience otherwise…
[Typical Principality Citizen]
Can't give them combat experience, after all.
[Typical Republic Citizen]
There's always dissatisfaction with update adjustments somewhere.
Like, 'Why are they buffing that, but ignoring this?'
[Typical Imperial Citizen]
Better than adjustments that only nerf things.
That's the most disheartening.
[Typical Republic Citizen]
But if they don't nerf him, the management will die (lol).

[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
It's a 'Nameless Goddess Statue' scramble.
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
More than World Quest, you can turn your Oshi into a goddess statue!
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Gales fans are way too hyped.
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Bell-taso's and Leona-sama's fans aren't panicking, right?
Why?
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
They said they've already secured one, so it's fine.
They've also asked fans not to monopolize them unnecessarily.
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
I see.
By the way, do you know how they transformed?
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Go to their dedicated threads. But it's not written.
Bell-taso apparently became the Blue Sky Goddess, and Leona-sama the Scarlet Goddess.
But they're not exact likenesses…
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Gales' kids are also apparently 'somewhat similar.'
Shou-kun resembling Mion-chan too much is odd. (It's not odd.)
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Is it a difference in mental image, I wonder?
Speaking of which, what about Princess Anshia's?
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Not found.
Some Ice Princess Knights exist, but they apparently handed over the goddess statues to Units.
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
I only have a bad feeling about this…
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
It's a rumor, but…
Units is apparently auctioning them off to fans.
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Huh? What do you mean?
[Oshi-loving Adventurer]
Ugh, that's malicious!
