Chapter 161: Advertisement Broadcast

“…So, during my free time, I meditated, and I think everyone found it a little strange.”

I was recounting minor incidents in chronological order.

• Of course, they would!

• Stop with the concept!

• You do that even when you’re out? lol

• Is this real?

• Too much MSG lol. I bet my Ori account it wasn’t like that in real life.

• If it’s true, how bewildered the members must have been.

“Not at all. I said they found it ‘a little’ strange.”

• Aren’t they just used to your eccentricities? lol

“And we went to the pool, it was surprisingly big and well-decorated.”

• Did you wear a swimsuit?

• Wouldn’t she have?

• Oh…

• Uhuhu…

• I should have gone too.

• How were you planning to go? ;;;

• Review, please.

“Everyone picked out swimsuits that perfectly matched the 3rd gen image that Pias would imagine. Koharu’s was cute, Karen’s was stylish, and only Sara’s was a bit bold?”

• Oh… bold, you say…

• What about you?

• If you don’t tell us, we can only imagine the maximum possible exposure…

• Leaf swimsuit? lol

• Since it’s all natural, surely…

“Please stop saying outrageous things.”

• Karen: I have a picture of Leah in a bikini, thoughㅋ

• ????

• Kaha

• So the boldest one was herself lol

• Look at this, pretending to be demure but actually being fieryㅋ

• Karen, why only you…

• Show us what you saw!

I pretended not to see Karen, who had suddenly appeared, and changed the subject.

“We mostly played by splashing water on each other and joking around.”

• What, that’s so girly?

• Sparkling water droplets under the sunlight… Giggling girls…

• What a heartwarming sight…

• [Sara]: I don’t think that was the atmosphere?

• Karen: I checked if I got any bruisesㅜ Leah is too strongㅜㅜ

What are these people who said they’d sleep when they got back doing here?

“Please leave. If you want to talk, do it on your own streams.”

• [Sara]: Falsehoods must be corrected.

• Karen: Leah doesn’t just splash water. Waves were crashing, I thought I was at the beach, not a pool;;

• Sudden victim testimony lol

• lol

• Looks like they had a really fun time lol

• It doesn’t match her usual image, so it’s cuteㅎ

• She caused a tsunami, and that’s cute??

• Is Leah secretly a gym rat or something?

“If you’re going to be like that, then I’ll talk about both of your drunken habits…”

• [Sara]: I’m sorryㅜ

• Karen: You said you wouldn’t, you said you wouldn’t, you said you wouldn’t, you said you wouldn’t, you said you wouldn’t

• Karen, no spamming.

• Exposé time, nice lol

• Leah, hurry up and spill the teaㅋ

“I was joking. Elves hold promises dear. I decided not to talk about it. The rest can be revealed little by little on your own streams.”

If I did this much, even if they couldn’t reveal everything, they’d both have to mention the topic. It was a small revenge.

• [Sara]: I was too reckless when I had a weakness…

• No, so you’re really just going to let it go??

• Then you shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place!

“Instead, I’ll tell you about the sincere conversation we had at the drinking party.”

It was a personal and precious experience. But just as I had with my colleagues, I wanted to take another step closer to my Pias and share it without holding back. Of course, I planned to filter out the specific details.

“I clearly confessed that I’m truly a half-elf from another world. The members understood in their own ways, and I felt like we became closer.”

• ?????

• You said that at a drinking party?

• Stop with the MSG and tell us what happened!!

• If it’s true, aren’t you just confessing your own drunken habits? lol

• This needs cross-verification…

• Karen: Is this something you can talk about on stream?ㅎ

• [Sara]: Something like that did happen;;

• Wow lol

• Look at Leah’s loyalty lol. Protecting the members and only revealing her own embarrassing moments lol

• Ugh, I’m so embarrassed;;

• Can you really say something like that sober?

• Must have been really drunk lol

• How much did you drink? lol

“Alright, that’s it for the short vacation story. There was some special news while I was away. Shall we start talking about that now?”

I glanced at the viewer count and smoothly transitioned to the advertisement.

• Okay~ Let’s go~~

• Uh, the story was fun, Leah lol

• Call me when the ad is over.

• So many fake Pias…

• It’s our Leah’s first ad, we have to watch it together^^

“Ah… Aah.”

I lightly opened my mouth. The first phrase of the humming song. A light tremor, like a breath, spread through the air.

• Wow

• Surprise performance

• More… give us more

• Ooh, my ears are tingling.

• Why did you stop there?

• Wow, I’ve had the song on repeat since it came out, but live is different.

• The theme song is insane, though.

• Le… Leah???

“Pias. If you leave without listening to my song, which you don’t know when will come out, I… and the people at LM Studio will be sad.”

• This is… a hostage situation!

• Live performances will be random during commercials~

• The advertiser is grinning from ear to ear lol

• This company advertises well…

• Leah has her ways of raking in money.

I smiled, thinking the viewers understood my intention.

“Then, let me briefly introduce it first. ‘Novera Kailus’ is a strategy-based bishoujo collection RPG where, in a world where six factions live by contracting with aberrant mana after the Abyss’s revelation, the player becomes a mana tuner and roams the battlefields with the Mado bloodlines.”

• Ah~ That kind of setting.

• Understood perfectly.

• Hah… I’ll endure it so Leah can make a lot of money.

• Wow^^ It looks so fun~ I should download it right away.

• Info: You can’t download it even if you want to right now.

Up to this point, I had just memorized the requested content, so I didn’t need to continue explaining.

“It’s easier to understand if we watch the video together rather than just talking, right?”

With a slight movement of the mouse, a video playback window popped up in the center of the screen.

Ruins where the embers of a great war remained. A female silhouette in a red cloak slowly passes through the golden dust. The humming of ‘Echo of Everlight’ spread gently over it.

• What’s with the opening…

• The atmosphere is insane, really.

• Leah’s voice from the start.

• I have a good feeling about this already.

“The Abyss swallowed everything. And, from within it, girls were reborn.”

• Huh, why does the voice sound so familiar…?

• This is Leah lol

• OMG, it is.

• Our Leah is definitely world-class.

• Wow, this is amazing lol

• Appearing twice with song and narration.

• But those two go well together lol

It’s a little embarrassing, but along with my voice, six sentences appear one by one, piercing through the darkness. After those symbols pause for a moment, they transition into characters.

“I heard your prayer.”

From behind a golden holy flame, the Holy Knight Riviera, holding a wing-decorated spear.

• Booba lol

• Wow… look at that…

• Booooba lol

• Is that supposed to be armor? lol

• The defense power is insane…

• My wife.
  “Your orders.”

From the midst of flames, the Knight Commander Kaila, slowly drawing her sword.

• Sis…

• Short hair is a bit…

• If she’s pretty, short hair is king.

• My wife.
  “Because truth only lies beneath the darkness.”

Under the moonlight shadow, the witch Serica, looking back with a doll on her shoulder.

• Cute lol

• Ah, so cute lol

• Cuuuuute lol

• My wife.

• ?????????

“Nature can’t lie. Right?”

Surrounded by streams of light and butterflies, the Spirit Master Miel, appearing from the forest.

• Uh, this one is a bit

• Isn’t that Leah? lol

• Leha~

• From the lines to the concept, it’s Leah.

• They copied her RP, should we sue LM Studio?

“Look closely. There are many parts different from me.”

Her ears are long, and her hair and eye color are different. The only common point is that she’s an elf who handles spirits, so what makes you say it’s me?

Besides, a collaboration character that truly resembles me might come out later.

Before I could say more, the screen changed.

“Elegance is strategy.”

Marquise Elise, looking at an ice mirror.

• Cool beauty, cool beauty.

• The design is amazing.

• Her face is my favorite.

• Look at the Pias immersed in the ad lol

• It’s bishoujo, and the graphics are good!!

• Can’t resist bishoujo…

“Test commenced. Destruction order, approved.”

Experiment #87 Lis, activating a sparking combat suit with a mechanical sound.

• Oh my…

• Doesn’t this need an R-19 rating?

• Was I… a mechanophile?

• There’s way more skin visible than machine parts.

And then, a clash of light and darkness. Scenes of castle walls and urban warfare. An exploding forest flashes by quickly.

• Hey, they put a lot of effort into the video lol

• Isn’t this an anime opening? lol

“There is only one contract with the Abyss. Waiting for you. Novera Kailus. Pre-register now.”

My voice echoed once more, and the video ended with the release date.

• Pre-registered right away lol

• Listening to the song from the beginning, it’s truly a masterpiece…

• Why couldn’t I focus on the song? ;;

• I didn’t know Leah’s part would be this big… Then I definitely have to play it.

• If it’s a bishoujo game and the characters are well-drawn, it’s worth a try.

It seemed like everyone had become much more favorable after just one video, so I felt lighter.

But there was still more ad time left.

“Next, we’ll try a faction compatibility test. Which Mado bloodline will you contract with?”

• Well… if it’s Leah, it’ll be the faction that girl belonged to earlier.

• Ah, you mean her?

• Are you talking about Spirit Master Miel from the Flordien Spirit Union?

• Are there people already digging into the lore? lol
