“Oh, hey, Vivia-san.”
The voice calling my name made me turn to see Zoebel, a hunchbacked goat man, waving his hand. He approached me with a smile on his face.
“It’s been a while since we met.”
“Zoe-kun, long time no see. My sister is always in your care.”
“I’m the one who’s indebted to you. Oh, that reminds me! The day before yesterday, there was a development in Ciel Shanta-sama’s event!”
Oh, congratulations.
That means the event will still progress even if he aims for Shanta-chan, right? Great.
“There’s more!”
Zoe, who seemed excited, put his hand over his mouth and lowered his voice.
“She gave me [Star Crystal] as a gift! Vivia-san, was this the same when you were aiming for Ciel-sama…?”
“Mhm, it’s the same. She also gave me star crystals when I gave her clothes as a gift on our date.”
“Seriously?!”
Zoe’s exaggerated surprise drew all eyes around us. He seemed to notice this, too, and suggested, “Vivia-san, let’s do semi-active.”
“Wow, wow, I’m super excited. The date night clothing gift is limited to those who can do it in the first place, so that it may give other characters a chance, but no such information is available. This is God’s move in CieShan’s rise to power! Nobody will call her a bug character or an incompetent patron anymore! Depending on how you look at it, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a more competent patron than even Ryl! But the problem with that would be that it would likely result in a lot of bad fans. What do you think about that, Vivia-san?!”
Eh? Huh? I can’t keep up with the conversation when you breathe so heavily.
Umm, what is it? Are you saying that Star Crystals are such an important item that they can change the character’s reputation?
“That’s right! It’s a different game world now with or without it, depending on the type of skill you have. It is revolutionary to have at least one job skill of your choice, or one-half if it is a high skill, simply by going out with one character. Until now, there have been no examples of Star Crystals or even [Fog Crystal] being acquired through communicative missions.”
“Oh, is that something important? I’ve only been playing this game for a little over a month. I didn’t know anything about it.”
Then, Zoe-kun stopped moving. He suddenly regained his straight face. “One month…?” he parrots back.
I smiled grimly.
“Sometimes I look like an expert because I seem to be doing pretty well in some aspects of the game, but I’m new. I just found out yesterday that this game has PK-like elements and that players are competing by interfering with each other. You knew that, didn’t you, Zoe-kun?”
“Ah, no. Well, yes, something like that….”
Suddenly, Zoe-kun isn’t very articulate.
Oh, maybe he was that kind of player yourself? No, I don’t care about that at all. People can play in this way, and their play style is up to the individual player.
“But as expected, I was shocked when Minashigo-san told me the truth yesterday. I thought it was a casual crafting game. For a moment, I even thought about quitting. Since I’m slow, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with him.”
“Oh!”
But once I calmly observed the game world again based on that premise, I found that everyone seemed nonchalant.
I feel encouraged. I thought I had to live strong and bold like that. Hey, Zoe, are you listening to me?
I was saying something nice, but he turned pale and looked in the opposite direction.

[Atarashi]
How about using a block of Cloudy Phantom Stone?
[Lyre]
Huaaa~~ I want to build more freely in Kimakura
I want to buy town-level land
[Oops]
How many hundreds of thousands a month?
[Twister]
Go to Koguni
[Kon]
The level of graphics and the variety of materials are amazing
[YTYT]
Milan continues to build NPC houses, even though they’ll be destroyed or remodelled
It’s beyond amazing and makes me doubt their mentality
[Milan]
>>YTYT
I’m content with taking screenshots and video
I don’t put my life into construction as much as you do
[Shrimp Belle]
Your work is too good for NPCs
[Atarashi]
Some players are surprisingly quick to destroy or rebuild
[YTYT]
That’s just the way it is
As long as you’re paying for it, I don’t have a say in how it’s handled afterwards
But wow…
[Nejiko+]
You should do the Marketplace Creator
[YTYT]
Instead, they choose
Kimakura’s expose/cancel culture is helping me in a way
[Kon]
If you rely on the Kimakura user’s opinion, it’s the end of the world
[JeanJacques]
I’m struggling to find a new location for my new home
Since I’m putting a lot of effort into my furniture shop, I’d like to build in a place where I can expect a good number of customers, but I’m not sure if there’s a good location in Lestein
[Kiki Sakamoto]
You’ll have to stake out the real estate agent
There are only three towns
[Oops]
You could find a player who might be successful in the future and set up nearby
There are examples of individual or clan power that have led to development, such as Gokuraku Street and White Night’s back alley
[Major Sergeant Oloron]
That’s not realistic
[Choregi]
I know there will be some negativity, but you can look around B-san, which is a hot topic right now
[Milan]
Oh?
I went to check, and you’re right. There are a lot of vacancies in the area
[YTYT]
You should think about why there are so many vacancies
Hint: the house across the street from B shop
[JeanJacques]
It’s Zoe-niki’s property LMAO
Haaaa
[Twister]
It’s a stigmatised property
[Peet]
If it were Yoshio or a stalker, I’d think twice. But if it was Zoe…
But >>Major Sergeant Oloron is correct, it’s not realistic
It’s the standard practice for production players to move to a brighter place once they’ve made enough sales to get there
I think it’s better to wait and see
[Kotarou]
His business practices don’t seem like he’s serious about making money, and I don’t think he can develop the district
Although there are precedents, they are few and far between, and I wouldn’t recommend choosing land with a particular player in mind
