CH 23

I went to the school cafeteria, packed sandwiches, and went back to the dorm.

Click. When I opened the door and entered, Eloise approached me.

“You’ve been back, Lady. Dinner…Oh my, did you pack it up?”

I held out the paper bag in my hand.

“Yes. I brought yours just in case. Do you want some?”

Eloise looked a little surprised at my behavior, then smiled softly as she accepted the paper bag.  

“Thank you so much. Even if it wasn’t for it, I was thinking of ordering dinner. Do you want to eat this too?”

“Yes, I want to eat something simple. Ah, I’ll eat alone in the room, so take a break now.”

“Alright. Rest well, Lady.”

I went up to the bedroom on the second floor.

“Whoa.” As I entered the bedroom, I unknowingly breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in the day, complete silence came. Of course, I knew that the Constellations were watching. However, I’ve got quite used to them now.

First of all, I put the books down on the dressing table and loosened my stiff shoulders.

“I’m tired…”

I wanted to finish the day quietly by eating the sandwich and reading the rest of the book.

“How have you been? Miss Theresa.”

Damn it. As soon as I turned around with a stiff face, my eyes twitched slightly. There was Ozworld again.

“I guess you played an advertisement video again today.” The end of my voice cracked as I tried to swallow my irritation.

Ozworld approached me with a pleasant-looking face and kissed the back of my hand. “Thanks to Miss Theresa’s hard work, there were a lot of requests for an interview. We’re going to have a short Q&A session.”

Of course, it was an act that didn’t consider my opinion. It was very unpleasant for him to keep kissing regardless of the cheek or the back of my hand without hesitation. As soon as Ozworld let go of my hand, I subtly wiped the back of my hand with my skirt.

Then Ozworld snatched the paper bag from my hand. “What is this?”

I flinched as my hand became empty in an instant. “It’s my dinner. Give it to me.”

While I stretched out my hand toward the paper bag in an awkward motion as if to ask for it to be returned, Ozworld opened the paper bag and checked the contents.

“It’s a sandwich.”

He threw back the paper bag containing the sandwich. Puck! The sandwich popped out of the paper bag and rolled around on the floor in a mess. Thanks to that, my mood became very miserable, just like the sandwich scattered on the floor.

Ozworld looked worried about me with a sad face. “You have to take care of your meal. You will get exhausted if you skip meals.”

Cut the crap. Why are you worried about my meal? I wanted to scream at what he did, but I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes tightly before opening them again.

When Ozworld tapped on the bedroom table with his cane, it was quickly filled with sumptuous food. In the center of the table, there was even a damn elegant centerpiece and candle. The thick chunk of meat, which looked like it would bleed when cut, didn’t look appetizing at all. Just a piece of a sandwich was enough for me.

Like a gentleman, Ozworld pulled out the chair and offered a seat.  “Have a seat.”

I knew too well now that this was coercion, not invitation. After I sat down first, Ozworld sat across from me, and the meal began.

Ozworld showed very dignified table manners. I wasn’t being sarcastic; my words were sincere. The only nobles I had eaten with were those from the Squire family, but I didn’t feel them as perfect dignity and composure as the man in front of me.

What is the other identity of this guy? It was questionable how vulgar and noble could be felt at the same time, but that was it.

I lowered my stiff gaze to the piece of meat being dashed by the knife and looked at Ozworld again. Rather than spending quality time with him while eating food I didn’t want to eat, I wanted to finish this business quickly.

“When are we doing the interview?”

Ozworld smirked with an expression that showed he knew how I felt. “I guess you hadn’t learned yet from our previous conversation.”

“I don’t think the Constellations will like this boDing section.” It was said mechanically, but on the other hand, I thought it might be true.

I didn’t think BJ on the silver channel would have fans, but even if they did, I didn’t think they would be popular enough to do an interview. My advice by the reasonable judgment was simply ignored.

“It can’t be true.”

Ozworld smiled and flicked his fingers.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

“!”

My ears almost fell off for a moment. I looked at the notification window that filled the room with dismayed eyes.

[The Constellation ‘Ozworld is Real World’ has sponsored 1,000 coins.]

[Aaaaaah!!!!!! Ozworld!!!!!!]

[The Constellation ‘Ozworld to see and believe in’ has sponsored 1,000 coins.]

[Ozworld, this time it’s fun.]

[The Constellation ‘Ozworld_Slave_75’ has sponsored 1,000 coins.]

[Your face is holy again today… I will earn more coins… Come often…]

In addition, there were numerous notification windows with the Constellations name Ozworld attached to them. It was a reaction to the point of madness.

When Ozworld snapped his finger again, the notification sound and window disappeared.

“…”

A strange silence has come. As I was frozen, Ozworld shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“As you can see, they like me just appearing on the broadcast.”

I felt an unpleasant sense of deja vu. It was because the notifications of sponsorship from the Constellations who were enthusiastic about Ozworld seemed to overlap with Clybe and Demisa. Even the unpleasantness of the followers was similar.

Ozworld opened his mouth. “As you can see now, the sponsor windows you see are censored. Didn’t you feel that you had more coins compared to the number of times you saw the sponsorship window?”

Ah, maybe that’s why. No wonder every time I checked the total amount of sponsorship, I felt that it was a strangely large amount. It was like that even now.

[Sponsorship: 151,500 coins.]

It was only the day before that I reached 100,000 coins in the shortest period of time. However, donations were already piled up this much.  I just assumed that there must have been sponsorship while I passed out or fell asleep, but that wasn’t the case.

Come to think of it, she had never seen Constellation with the word ‘Ozworld’ in it until now. She started to cut the meat again. Even such a quiet time was fun for the Constellations, so there was nothing else to refute. Ozworld put down his fork and knife and fickle as if he didn’t like my rapid silence.

“I don’t really like it because it’s downright offensive, but having a meal while conducting an interview wouldn’t be bad.”

I found it funny how he discussed manners and decency. Wouldn’t the most depressing things here be his rainbow-colored bleached hair, thick piercings, and a bright red suit? However, I didn’t express my feelings.

Ozworld displayed a translucent window beside him and hurried as if to begin the interview earnestly. “Before the Constellations enter the broadcast, they find out what the content of this broadcast is through the description.”

In order to understand the broadcast, it was necessary to know what worldview was used here. Ozworld said that the Constellations acquire basic information through the <God’s Game> game manual he wrote himself.  It meant that they didn’t know the information that could only be obtained by playing it yourself, such as the true identities of the male protagonists and what kind of ending they could see.

“However, if necessary, I can also add subtitles or guides to help them understand better.”

Even so, he said that he couldn’t provide as much direct information as the BJ themselves.  Anyway, that was a spoiler.

“BJ needs to provide the right information at the right moment. But if you tell everything, the expectations will decrease, and the fun will disappear.”

“I understand.”

“That’s a relief. Then could you take that into account and explain what’s going on today?”

It was not difficult.

“Professor Ilya is a fallen archangel, then becomes an archdemon who pretends to be a human being. He plans to contaminate the human world with demonic energy and turn it into a second demon world.”

The human world was like a subway transfer station. The world of gods, heaven, and demons cannot directly interfere with each other except in very special cases. However, the human world could be more or less easily connected anywhere as an intermediate passage.

Ozworld glanced at the window next to him and asked. “If he is the Archdemon, isn’t he simply the Demon King?”

“It doesn’t matter if you consider it like that.”

“If he’s a being like that, shouldn’t he be able to annihilate the human world at once?”

Then it would be impossible to proceed with the game. Our team also agonized over the plausibility of that part and put constraints on it.

“Humans cannot live in water, and fish cannot live on land. The realm to which he doesn’t belong like water or land. Professor Ilya is using his human shell as an oxygen tank.”

“I understand. But demons are invading this world, right? How would you explain that?”

“Low-level demons that cannot transform themselves into humans like Professor Ilya can interfere with the human world through contracts with humans.”

I also explained that Professor Ilya’s bad ending is the destruction of the human world; Clyde is half human, half demon; the relationship between Squire and Willow was as bad as Montague and Capulet family.

I even explained that Mimosa and Theresa admired the male protagonists to the point they were willing to wage war between families, just like the first-generation idol fans.

Ozworld then asked with the most harmless face I had ever seen. “Is the world view of reverse harem games originally extreme?”
