Episode 22: Too much information

Since it's Saturday, I slept in and woke up.

Nn ~, before 10:00 AM. Fua ~ ah, I slept well ...

"Morning ..."

"Brother, don't you think it's a bit late for good morning?"

"You, breakfast?"

Miki shook her head at that question.

I already prepared the rice and it's ready to cook, so I thought she could make it properly, but it's too late by now.

"Wait a moment."

We ate after I prepared a Japanese-style breakfast of tamagoyaki, miso soup, and pickled veggies.

"So, do you have any business today?"

"No, I don't think so. But, we don't have any ingredients for lunch or dinner. Maybe I should go shopping?"

"Take me with. Is that okay?"

I slurp down my miso soup.

I wonder if I should do the wash and turn on the washing machine. I could clean up after I got back.

"Is there something you want?"

"No? I just want to go out with my brother?"

" ... Well, that's fine."

Either way, IRO was for after noon. I told Mion it would be around 1:00 PM, so I wondered if it's okay as long as I could come back by noon.

"Sup ~."

[ Shou-kun. ]

After lunch was over, I headed into the virtual clubroom. It wasn't just Mion, who was waving her hand, but also Bell-buchou, who seemed to be desperately looking for something?

"What are the two of you doing?"

[ We're checking the comments on yesterday's video and announcement. ]

When I took my seat, Bell-buchou seemed to have finished and closed the video.

It seemed that strange advertisements and guidance to dubious phishing sites were posted on videos that had a sudden increase in the number of views.

Mion and I were planning to do it, but we're asking for help because there's a lot of them right now.

"What did the number of playbacks become?"

"The first video has over 200,000 views, and yesterday's video has over 50,000 views. The number of subscribers is about to reach 4,000 , and the conditions for monetization are cleared in no time.

"Ha?"

According to Bell-buchou, it seemed that the conditions were 4,000 hours or more of total playback time in the last six months and 1,000 or more channel subscribers.

The total playback time was easily cleared just by getting 200,000 views of an 8-minute video, and of course the number of channel subscribers was also clear.

"Umm, are we going to start the monetization process already?"

"I think it will be fine to wait a little. Well, it would be better to report it to the school."

It's a club activity, but it's also a part-time job, so it's necessary to get the school's approval.

Last year, when it was Bell-buchou, they had a lot of trouble, but in the end, they said it would be a good idea to allow it.

Well, she shouldn't have donated that much ...

"Is it okay if we post videos normally for the time being?"

"Yeah. About twice a week. I think it's good to constantly upload slow-paced videos that don't have any particular material."

Well, actually, I feel like I'm satisfied just by talking cutely with Mion.

[ That's how it is, desu, also, Shou-kun ... I'm still editing this, desu, but can you take a look? ]

Mion said such and shared the video.

Did something happen again? When I glanced at it ... Lupi!

" ... I've never seen a wolf like this before? It's the first time I've seen a display with this '?', so I wonder if it's a failure to identify its race?"

The video was about the day I helped him, where I gave first aid as it was.

"Wait, wait. There's too much information ..."

"First aid seems convenient, but is it not used much?"

"Yeah, since you can acquire sacred magic, first aid is treated as a non-skill. However, it is strange that it can be used without MP, and that it's a great success with this substitute 'Hermit Bamboo'."

Bell-buchou was astonished, but she seemed to be thinking about other ways to use it.

Then, Mion showed another video, this was one that looked unedited.

"..."

Oh ~, did she freeze.

"Isn't there a player who has acquired training skills?"

"That's a skill that was unimplemented in the closed beta, isn't it?"

[ Isn't there anyone who tried it after Open beta? ]

"Looking at this, it seems that it had a condition that it couldn't be taken in the first place unless there was a target that became quite friendly.

And it's a rare skill with a required SP of 9. The hurdle is too high for an early player to take it all of a sudden."

They don't have the courage to use 9 out of the initial 10 SP ...

"Umm ... What should we do?"

"No matter what, it would be better to publish this.

There are some players who aim to become so-called tamers, but there's too little information about them, so they're just sitting and waiting.

If they know this, it will be easier for them to take a concrete approach."

Ah ~, I see ...

I was surprised that I was able to get it in the first place. Then, all the more when it was 9 SP when I drew it.

Well, I had no choice but to take it there.

"This kid is defeating Bicobits quite easily. Considering that he will grow from now on, training is a pretty strong skill ..."

It's nice that Lupi and the training skill are highly rated, but what if it becomes full of tamers because of this.

No, it had nothing to do with me, so wasn't it fine. They couldn't come to my island to complain.

[ I don't think Shou-kun's actions are that special, desu, but didn't other players find themselves in similar situations? ]

"I can't say anything about that. I've never been in a situation where I helped an injured animal."

Said Bell-buchou.

"Isn't there a quest like that? I think this was a quest for me."

"Ohh, I see. It's not something you get in the guild, it's a quest that starts with some kind of trigger ..."

Fumu fumu, she seemed to understand something by herself, or rather, Bell-buchou went off into her own little world while contemplating.

For me, 'I made a deserted island and threw in monsters, so play around with it.', I thought it was something like that. And that was it.

[ Shou-kun, you should tell her about the bear. ]

"Ah, that's right. Umm, yesterday, I was exploring the depths ..."

I thought she would be surprised again, but that bear called Armor Bear wasn't that uncommon. It seemed that Bell-buchou had already beaten it.

"If you're a level 3 character who isn't combat focused, and you're solo, you can't win no matter what you do. My character level is 7, and it took 5 people."

I was told such ...
