Episode 20: Information and Sirloin

When I logged out of IRO and returned to Real View, Yata-sensei was in the clubroom.

Maa, I wonder if it was while I was playing IRO.

"The two of you are back ~. That's just perfect ~."

"... Did something happen?"

"Before uploading the next video ~, I would like you to put out a notification on the channel ~."

Notification? What's going on? When I thought such,

[ Is it a post to the community, desu? ]

"Yes ~, I've already thought about the contents ~, so could you read it over ~?"

And, I read through the text sent by Yata-sensei. Umm, what is this ...

[ Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to our channel.

Before posting the next video, there is something I would like to tell everyone.

I heard from an acquaintance that there are people who are disguising themselves as myself, Shou-kun, and our friends, and are spreading false information in-game and on various social media.

Currently, I, Mion, and the player, Shou-kun, do not give out information outside of this channel.

Please be careful not to be deceived by incorrect information.

Please continue to support this channel.  Mion ]

... Are you serious.

"So that's what happened ..."

[ I'm surprised, desu. ]

"That's a crime committed for fun ~. It seems that there are quite a few people who have been made to dance by such completely unsubstantiated stories ~, such as the importance of the name when creating a character ~."

Maa, you'll know right away that you've been deceived, and you can remake your character, but it's still annoying.

[ Sensei, I would like to correct just one thing. ]

When I read the text again with Mion's correction, the ending was changed to 'Shou&Mion'. Is that what she wanted?

"Do you have any concerns, Shou-kun ~?"

"I'm fine."

"Then ~, please post it as a notification to the community ~. Ah, it's okay to upload the video now ~. I also confirmed it ~."

And thus, Mion started uploading the notification and the next video.

Hmm ... Personally, I'd like to avoid things that affect things outside of the game. I really didn't want to hear that the strategy information was real money.

"Should I disclose the method of starting on the uninhabited island?"

"That's fine, but before that, there's something that should be confirmed."

"I wonder if new players will be able to enter the island where Shou-kun is ~."

Apparently Bell-buchou was back from IRO, and she participated in the conversation. Come to think of it, it was time for club activities to end, so she logged out.

"Yeah, it's highly likely that the uninhabited island start is limited to one person as per the creator's intentions. If they let more people in, the players could flood in."

"Even if you think about it from the perspective of game balance ~, it's highly likely that only one person can enter ~."

"So that's it ..."

I didn't even think about that. That means that since I was able to get a lot of SP as a special reward in the beginning, I guess that's what they were thinking about.

[ But, how are we going to find out, desu? ]

Mion, who seemed to have finished posting the notification and video, asked a question.

That's it. IRO was currently fixed to 1 player 1 character. A serious setting of no sub-characters.

You could recreate your character, but of course you had to erase the previous character at that time ...

Huh? According to what was just said, was there someone who was fooled by false information and even deleted their character? If that's the case, I felt sorry for them ...

In that case, Bell-buchou would never delete her character, but would Yata-sensei do it?

"Mion-san, you haven't played IRO yet, have you ~?"

[ Yes. But, I don't have the software, desu. ]

Right now it was limited to a total of 60,000 closed beta and early release limited players, and shouldn't be accepting new players.

"I've already procured one piece of software for the new players to participate in the limited opening. Wouldn't it be better if Mion-san could play with Shou-kun when he comes out of the uninhabited island?"

[ Yes! ]

Even if I could leave the uninhabited island, it didn't mean I would.

Anyway,

"Well, starting on a deserted island is quite troublesome, but how should I tell you?"

"Mion-san, I want you to make a group distribution of IRO ~, and, Shou-kun, please teach her how to start from character creation on a deserted island on the spot~."

"Ah ~, I see. Then it's probably okay ... I think."

All you had to do was expand the starting point and select a starting point from among the many islands ...

"I'm back ~."

"Welcome back, Brother! The meat was properly bought!"

Ah, that's right. Today the agreement was to have the unusual Sirloin Steak.

"Okay. Then, shall we go get ready for dinner."

I changed from my uniform to casual clothes and put an apron on top.

"Nn? You, did you buy my portion too? I feel like you could have bought another grade of meat for that amount."

"If my Brother looks at me with envious eyes in front of me, it will ruin the precious A5 cow."

"... Thank you."

Was she paying attention. It's just that pocket money from our father will decrease anyway.

"D, don't get me wrong! It's not like I'm happy to be thanked!"

"Stop being a cheap tsundere."

When I retorted with that, she laughed happily. Seriously, you're an Imouto-kun who can't be helped.

.........

......

...

"Fuu, I ate well, I ate well. After all, expensive meat is delish."

I've heard that humans only have a happy substance in their brains when they eat beef, but I felt like it was special today.

"By the way, Brother, I saw the new video that was uploaded."

"Oh, how was it?"

"Even though you found a Goblin, you didn't defeat it, and it was as expected that you followed. I'm worried about the next development ..."

If it were one or two Goblins, it seemed you could win normally even with a character level of 1. But, there must have been over 20 over there.

"As expected, 1 vs. 20 is tough."

"There seems to be a lot of special Goblins when it comes to settlements."

"Well, it must be a quest."

Bell-buchou also did a quest to wipe out the Goblins. I wonder if I could get some kind of treasure if I defeated them.

"Fumu. I have one idea ..."

"Oh, seriously."

She's a cheeky Imouto, but she's clearly better at the game than I am, and above all, having her is better than thinking alone.

From there, it was past eight o'clock in less than an hour. I remembered that we were planning to do 'Uninhabited Island Start Verification', so I hurriedly washed dishes and managed to make it just in time.
