Chapter 369 - At the Mercy of the Live Stream

After enjoying the Lobnus with various sauces, I unveiled the new Papu Pudding. This dessert was already popular on the mainland, and apparently, it's also delicious with whipped cream. White Dragon Princess Althena would probably like it, so I'll mention it to Argenta-san next time I send a letter.

"Alright, is it almost time for Q&A?"

『Yes!』

The comments were flowing like a waterfall… and most of them were still about the World Quest contribution ranking.

『Then, the first question is about your World Quest rank, is that okay?』

"Yes. Um… it was 1st place."

[Shumei] ""

[Karonaru] ""

[Daytron] ""

[Katin] ""

etcetera etcetera...

Whoa, whoa, whoa…

『Ah, thank you very much.』

"Um, thank you. Honestly, I'm kind of like, why me?"

Most comments suggested that the contribution of the Jade Goddess Statue was significant. I myself hadn't expected it to be so effective, and I would have preferred it to be about the same as the others, but…

『About that Jade Goddess Statue…』

"Yes. Argenta-san asked me to make that."

This exchange was as planned. Then, the discussion moved to wanting to see the Jade Goddess Statue, but I still thought it would be best to see the real thing, so…

『Would it be something we ask the Dragonkin for?』

"That's right. I hear Argenta-san and the others are there to prevent another catastrophe, so…"

It seemed the viewers also knew about this, and some commented that it might be difficult because demons can impersonate players. Come to think of it, they even impersonated Natto.

"I'll try to consult Argenta-san. It might be a very strict check, and perhaps only one party at a time…"

Having Dragon Coins would probably be a prerequisite, and they wouldn't allow too many people at once, so maybe one party at a time? If I give Vermilion-san some wine… no, I'll stop. I just have a feeling something bad would happen. Not that I'm one to talk.

『Then let's move on to questions not related to the World Quest.』

"Roger."

This also carried the risk of revealing too much if pressed, so the plan was to cut it short quickly.

[Donden] "About the PV!"

[Frite] "Did you get anything dangerous?"

[Satena] "Queen, sing please~♪"

[Seiki] "Even if White Dragon Princess Althena came again!"

etcetera etcetera...

『About the PV…』

"Ah, honestly, I was really embarrassed and kept quiet. I'm sorry."

[Guidon] "I get it! It's embarrassing, right!"

[Shento] "Assist on? Off?"

[Galeso] "Playing skill seems to be popular now."

[Damoshi] "Was the song choice also left to it?"

etcetera etcetera...

"Assist was, of course, on. I'm totally useless in real life, but if it becomes a rhythm game, I can manage it somehow."

『It seemed like the song choice was chosen by assist, right?』

"Yeah. I don't really know how to use it, and my skill level is only 3."

Many comments followed up on that, and it seemed that once the skill level reached 6, I would be able to choose songs even with assist on. And those song choices would be a list tailored to my skill and the situation, so there wouldn't be an endless list.

"Can I play whatever I want with assist off?"

[Pure] "You can~."

[Raymenski] "However, some things might become unstreamable w."

[Nyx] "For a live stream, please keep assist on!"

[Doumin] "Japanese songs are almost always fine, though~."

etcetera etcetera...

"Hmm~."

『I see.』

It seemed that music had various complicated copyright issues, and if I played a song that might cause problems, the live stream would be stopped after a few phrases.

"Well, I probably won't use assist off…"

『Speaking of which, Shou-kun. You received sheet music from the Dragonkin, didn't you?』

"Ah, yeah."

[Rossan] "Lol w"

[Subrock] "Envious…"

[Yonro] "Since it's in-game sheet music, the copyrights are probably cleared."

[Dengana] "But assist off is impossible for me."

etcetera etcetera...

I received it and just left it in the mountain cabin. The Mana Transmission Line book and Basic Alchemy were higher priorities, and I also received a tailoring book. For the clothes, I'll keep it under wraps until Mion's matter settles down, but…

"I confirmed it wasn't a unique item when I received it, so I think everyone will be able to get it eventually."

I had to convey that much. I don't have the actual item with me now, but I think it was titled `Masterpiece Score Collection ~2~`.

[Energico] "Thank you!"

[Izayoi] "I wonder if I can find it in the Necropolis?"

[Pesante] "By the way, Volume 1 is sold everywhere."

[Spiritoso] "Volume 5 is in the Kingdom~."

etcetera etcetera...

『Ah, so it's a book everyone can get.』

"It seems so. Then I didn't need to worry about it."

Argenta-san sends me quite a few things that make me think, "Eh? Is it okay for me to receive this?" The Nameless Goddess Statue was a key item when I wasn't expecting it… However, many viewers also said it's better not to worry about it. Just take what you can get, essentially.

After that, we mainly answered relatively inoffensive questions. Things like what I've been doing lately, which was farming on Mondays, hunting and gathering on Tuesdays, and just doing whatever came to mind on other days. I also talked about eventually going to the next area beyond the church, and maybe that would be the topic of the next live stream.

『Shou-kun. It's almost time.』

"Roger. Well, there was a request, so shall we end with everyone singing?"

『Y-yes!』

Mion seemed a little nervous, as did I, of course. For now, I just hoped the same song would appear. I took out the Magic Kagurabue from my inventory and turned assist on, waiting for the song selection. Sweee and the Fairies, True and the Selkies began to gather, waiting with sparkling eyes for the performance to begin.

[Ancient Folk Song was selected.]

Good. If it's the same song, I can handle it. Now, to do my best and aim for a full combo…
