The Elderrich raid with Akachan was a very enjoyable experience.

From my perspective, all I had to do was somehow get through the first gate of the great war.

Because the wizard was a god in the great war.

Thanks to Akachan’s hard carry, I was able to clear the first gate safely.

After that, I was active at the gate.

I was able to successfully complete the Elderreach raid.

You may wonder, is it really necessary to break it?

In order to go to the next area, ‘Elderheim’, you had to clear the Elderreach raid at least once.

The story was set that way, and clearing the Elderreach raid was essential for further progression in the game.

Anyway, I was able to do a raid with Akachan and get a lot of rewards for clearing it.

Thanks to that, I thought I had a rewarding day.

Whether it’s because of the magic of the sub-character or not, Ferra is once again at the center of controversy.

“That’s funny.”

I burst into laughter while watching the text and video of Geum Tae-yang stuffed in Sasape.

First, all the swearing parts were edited out, so it is a fabricated video that only contains content that is favorable to the person.

There are many people who don’t know this, but Akare’s capsule supports an automatic recording function.

That is, from my perspective, the video first showed Geum Tae-yang spitting out curses.

“Even if you only upload the original video, there will be a backlash.”

How much did you get hurt by the words, “You got there through connections.”

I wonder if the money has lowered the level of the ability to do so.

How do I fix this?

Well, there was no need to think too deeply about this.

Even if I just upload the recording containing my point of view to YouTube and make it public.

Geum Tae-yang is just like me, who was stuffed as a nuclear warlock and a rice-eating saintess during the In-Game Gallery days.

You will continue to live an uncomfortable life in Akare.

[ Suzuka-sama’s whisper: Ferra-sama ]

[ Suzuka-sama’s whisper: I have something to say. Would you like to come to my territory for a moment? ]

At that moment, I was accessing Pera and looking through the recordings.

A whisper arrived from Suzuka, who was busy preparing for the Twisted World Tree Raid.

[ Whisper to Suzuka: What’s going on? ]

[Whisper to Suzuka: Is this another merger request?]

[ Suzuka-sama’s whisper: No, no ]

[ Suzuka’s whisper: That’s not it ]

[ Suzuka-sama’s whisper: I have something to suggest regarding this incident! ]

[ Suzuka’s whisper: We’re not even broadcasting right now ]

It’s a suggestion…

Is there a need to meet and hear it?

You can just whisper it.

Of course, I thought that way inside.

Business. Human relationships should not be thought of so simply.

Doesn’t Suzuka know what I’m thinking? No, she probably knows.

There must be a reason why he asked to meet in person even though he knew it.

If I reveal my true feelings here, I will most likely become what is commonly called a T-boy or T-bitch.

[ Whisper to Suzuka: I’m moving to the territory ]

[ Whisper to Suzuka: Please accept my request for admission ]

After sending the whisper, I opened the friend window and requested to visit Suzuka’s territory.

Territory. This is a sub-content that appears after completing the Elderreach raid.

Aside from protecting Raven, he was granted a fief by the Emperor for his meritorious deeds.

Have you defeated the Ancient Necromancer, one of the objects of destruction?

It was certainly a great achievement that would go down in history.

Because you committed an act that defended the object of destruction.

The territory granted by the emperor was like a blank sheet of paper.

Well, the player is the main character of this world.

Although now he is only the owner of an empty estate and a baronet.

As time goes by, your territory will develop further and your title will rise.

“Ferranieeeem!”

Kkudangtang-!

Suzuka, who was coming out to greet them from afar, tripped over a rock and fell.

“···Are you okay?”

“Hehe···. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, I’m so happy I didn’t even realize it.”

Suzuka, who had fallen, quickly got up as if nothing had happened.

Knock knock- Suzuka, who had dusted herself off, opened the territory management window.

As I manipulated the management window in the air, a portal opened before my eyes.

Free movement within the territory. It was a convenient feature that allowed you to move wherever you wanted.

“Is it a cafe?”

“Yes. Because I like cafes.”

Don’t you usually start by building facilities that contain important functions?

It feels like there’s a StarX in a quiet country town?

“I haven’t been able to leave the house since I started Akare.”

Well, it’s been a while since I became an Akare streamer.

Even now, it is booming, and it will continue to boom in the future.

Now, the time has come for Suzuka and Chijijik’s contracts to end, coinciding with Toichi’s return to the country.

Even now, Suzuka is the undisputed number one virtual YouTuber by global standards, which was limited to Korea.

If he moves to the global platform, Teach, he will probably reign as the king of virtual YouTubers for a long time.

After entering the cafe with Suzuka, we talked for a long time.

Greetings from the past. Small stories about personal life. Stories related to Akare, etc.

After two hours of girls’ talk, the main topic came up.

“What are you going to do about this?”

“Just upload the original video to the community···.”

I already shouted out to Ingame Gallery once in the past.

I became the center of controversy against my will.

I appeared on Suzuka’s broadcast and explained it.

This time too, the easiest way would be to explain it through Suzuka’s broadcast.

For some reason, Suzuka didn’t seem to want that.

If that was the direction you wanted to go in, you would have brought it up a long time ago.

So I tried to post an explanation directly on AKA Gallery.

Suzuka seemed to have different thoughts from me.

“This problem could be solved right away if you uploaded the original video, but… isn’t it a bit disappointing?”

The tone of voice was as if he was certain that nothing was his fault.

I felt uncomfortable with that tone, so I asked a question.

“Don’t you think I did something wrong?”

“Huh? Hmm···. If it was really Ferranim’s fault, they wouldn’t have tampered with the video, right? ”

From a third party’s perspective, the video uploaded to the stuffed animal article looked very natural.

If it had been obvious from the beginning that it had been edited, the community would have criticized it and the controversy would have died down.

However, Suzuka already knew that the video uploaded by Geum Taeyang’s side was maliciously edited.

How on earth?

“I’ve been in that situation many times.”

“Ah.”

Should we call this the grievance of a popular streamer?

Envy and jealousy. Unjustified malice. Just because I like to tease, etc.

It’s not just Internet broadcasters who are bullied for various reasons.

This story also applies to influencers, celebrities, and many other public figures.

In fact, even I, the director of Akare, have been subjected to this kind of harassment many times.

Whether it’s being worshipped as a god, being the object of base desires, or being embroiled in ridiculous controversies and being ridiculed.

Come to think of it, I’ve been going through these hardships too.

I really became a director. That’s what I thought.

While I was feeling a sense of change inside.

Suzuka spoke carefully.

“How about trying broadcasting?”

“A broadcast? What broadcast···.”

Broadcasting had only one meaning to me.

A channel of communication with users as a director.

I had no intention of turning on the broadcast for any other purpose.

To be exact, I guess it’s true that I never even thought about it that way.

“We are doing a broadcast to explain.”

So, Suzuka’s sudden suggestion to proceed with the ‘explanation’ as a ‘broadcast’ felt bewildering.

“You want me to turn on the explanation broadcast?”

“Yes. Why don’t you just debut now?”

When there was no sign of persuasion, Suzuka immediately revealed her true colors.

“I think that Ferranim can definitely succeed as a streamer.”

“Thank you for your kind words, but···.”

I tried to refuse, but.

“Are you really, Ferranim, the Aurora··· director?”

I couldn’t help but keep my mouth shut at Suzuka’s subsequent words.

“Of course I think it’s just a bait that’s being forced on a certain community···.”

“Yes! That’s right! It’s a scam!”

omg.

I got excited without realizing it and overreacted.

I watched Suzuka’s reaction.

Suzuka looked at me with a mysterious expression.

Sealook-

He smiled without any meaning.

“Do you know why I’m making this suggestion?”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

“I think it’s a shame that Ferranim’s unique character and charm are wasted.”

Is it for a similar reason that I taught Sweet to be a wizard?

Suzuka’s words were so sincere that I couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

“And it’s a bit embarrassing to say it myself, but being a streamer… is a really sweet job. Of course, you have to have a good mentality.”

Ferran, you have a good mentality, right?

I couldn’t deny Suzuka’s subsequent words.

In fact, the controversies I’ve experienced would have been enough to cause a mental breakdown for an ordinary person.

“Oh, I’m not forcing you. The choice is yours.”

“···I’ll think about it.”

“That’s enough.”

After finishing the conversation with Suzuka.

I logged out right there, as if I was running away.

Is it because I used up too much mental energy?

As soon as I got out of the capsule, I felt drowsy.

I laid down on the soft bed mat and fell asleep.

***

I had a nightmare.

It was a dream where I, who debuted as a streamer, had to add ‘meow’ to the end of every word as punishment.

What kind of nightmare is this?

I ran my hand over my forehead just in case.

As expected, I didn’t break out in a cold sweat.

To begin with, my body is close to perfect.

“What kind of dream is that···.”

Debuting as a streamer through an explanation broadcast?

I originally had no intention of doing that.

Because I had a nightmare.

My resolve became even stronger.

Broadcasting? It’s enough to just communicate with users as a director.

There was absolutely no reason to broadcast with a sub-character.

“Goddess.”

“Aka-chan? What’s wrong?”

Aka-chan is someone who rarely comes out of her capsule.

I wonder if something serious happened while I was sleeping?

“I highly recommend streamer debut.”

“Huh?”

What are you talking about, Aka-chan?

What on earth is the reason for a streamer to debut?

I knew from the beginning that Suzuka and I were eavesdropping on my conversation.

After hearing that conversation, I never imagined that Akachan would think that way.

“If streamer Ferra watches this winter’s showcase live, wouldn’t the theory that Ferra and Aurora are the same person be contradictory?”

“···!”

Pera = ㅁㅁㅁ

The central argument of this terrible (or not) theory was that ‘Pera always appears when Aurora is free.’

But what if Aurora is performing live and Ferra is watching it?

As Akachan said, a contradiction arises.

One of the controversies that hinders the smart life of a side character.

It was proven to be false and would disappear forever.

“But isn’t there a reason to debut as a streamer?”

Jjere jjere-

Akachan shook his head at my reasonable question.

“This is the easiest way to prove it. Also, any other method may seem like an artificial stagecraft just to avoid controversy.”

A tornado.

As Akachan said, even if I tried to act clumsily, it wouldn’t be a problem that could be solved.

If you don’t step forward with certainty, it will just repeat itself like a loop.

Rather, it might be more like ‘Aurora is pretending not to be Ferra.’

Of course, there may be a better way than this.

But nothing came to mind right away, and it seemed best to debut as a streamer and build up.

“You must continue to be active in the future to avoid suspicion and completely put an end to the controversy.”

“I guess so.”

Streamer debut.

I guess I need to think about this seriously.

So Aurora was lost in thought.

That’s why I couldn’t see it.

Shhh-

When I was watching Salaryman Lupin, I saw the honest corners of Aka-chan’s lips.
