After that, I continued following the ga rules to ask about much intelligence from the real world.
I really wanted to know more about the Young Miss, but that would be asking too much. Compared to intelligence like "Hunter x Hunter and Detective Conan still haven't finished this year," I was more concerned about the ga company's current status.
I don't know what will happen to if the ga servers shut down, nor do I look forward to such a day. At least while I'm still alive now, I certainly wouldn't wish for death to co voluntarily. Fortunately, there are no signs of what I'm worried about happening. The ga company is very stable, and there are quite a few players protecting Lemoria Continent.
They said half of The Eternal Pacificus's microtransaction revenue cos from middle-aged and elderly demographics. Originally, the company marketed it with the selling point of "ultra-high freedom rivaling a second life. " This ultra-high freedom unexpectedly attracted a group of middle-aged and elderly people—quite an unintended consequence.
In an era where virtual online gas are prevalent, microtransactions are no longer anything new, and gas are no longer viewed as sothing to be guarded against everywhere. The players who experienced deceptive mobile gas back then grew older, leading to extrely high acceptance of ga microtransactions. Another important reason is that the company boldly decided to eliminate class systems. Among popular virtual online gas, The Eternal Pacificus is the only one without class settings, focusing on character role-playing.
Having no classes ans there's the possibility of playing ordinary people. For most players, ordinary civilians have no gaplay value, but playing ordinary civilians and the ga's realistic virtual nature attracted so middle-aged and elderly people. Playing ordinary civilians is equivalent to treating this ga as a casual ga. Elderly people who stay ho all day particularly like logging into The Eternal Pacificus to climb mountains, fish, chat with NPCs, and so on. They have such a wonderful ti all day long and don't feel bored at all.
Since The Eternal Pacificus effectively solved the problem of lonely elderly people's boredom, their children are also happy to spend money supporting the ga company, ultimately forming this very peculiar microtransaction demographic.
Well, it seems I don't need to worry about the ga company going bankrupt.
"Anna-chan is really studious and inquisitive."
The bespectacled male player pushed up his glasses with his trembling right hand, glancing at the dozen or so companions lying unconscious nearby, including Misaka 10086. They had all been drunk under the table by .
? I was in excellent condition, though the opponents in recent rounds were all too weak, getting completely drunk after just a few cups.
"I'd like to know why they all call you Strategist?"
Let ask about their affairs. As soon as I ntioned this, the bespectacled male player imdiately perked up.
"Well, I'm a core mber of Anna's Support Group. The entire support group, including the leader, doesn't have many normal people, so I have to take on the role of strategist. My idol happens to be the Three Kingdoms period strategist Kongming, so the think-tank position is perfect." (TN: Courtesy na of Zhuge Liang.)
"Anna-chan! I'm reporting him—the Strategist likes the gender-bent Loli version of Kongming! He's a perverted lolicon!" (TN: Idk if this is a reference. My guess is Fate series.)
"Right, right, and his ID in the ga is Hohenheim!" (TN: Fulltal Alchemist reference.)
"Shut up! It's not that I like Lolis; it's that my idol just happens to be a Loli after being gender-bent. Don't get the cause and effect mixed up. And changing my na wasn't my choice either."
"See, Anna-chan, he's not denying he's a lolicon at all."
The bespectacled male player—ID Hohenheim—seems to have a habitual action of pushing up his glasses. As soon as he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly undermined by his companions.
Yesterday, I saw that he was one of the leaders among the players. Although his position isn't that of a group leader, since the system requires the use of nas that can be recorded in chronicles, he must have accomplished so remarkable achievents.
"Then, Lord Hohenheim, please continue to guide in the future."
"...........Mmm-ah."
Rather than pushing up his glasses, Hohenheim seed more like he was covering his face with his hand.
"Strategist! Didn't you say you have veteran experience conquering over ten thousand beautiful girls? How are you getting shy now?"
Scary... ten thousand? What an exaggerated number. Could Hohenheim be a hidden Casanova?
"I think the Strategist is wavering from his flat-chest faction beliefs."
"Give up, Strategist. More and more doujin artists drawing loli Anna-chan have chosen to abandon the dark side and join the light. Strategist, stop making pointless struggles!"
"Honestly, I quite liked that 'Starting From Zero: Raising a Maid' doujin."
"That one only has a good art style. Story is trash."
Huh? This naming format... doujin? The content they were discussing before is called doujin?
"—What is doujin?"
I asked with great interest.
".....................?!"
"Everyone?"
Why do they all have expressions like they're having cardiac arrest? Is it so kind of forbidden question?
"An... Anna-chan is here... ah..."
"Of course I'm here. What is doujin?"
I see you all chat quite happily whenever you talk about doujin.
Why is everyone suddenly avoiding eye contact with ? Is there sothing strange stuck to my face?
I beca even more curious about what exactly doujin is.
"If it's inconvenient to say, could you show ?"
"Absolutely not!!!"
Suddenly, everyone unanimously denied .
"Anna-chan... doujin is that kind of... book that masters would secretly hide under their beds... that kind of thing..."
Kurumi Tokisaki's Husband explained to in a trembling, euphemistic tone, but I beca increasingly confused. The Young Miss never hid books under her bed.
"Putting books in dark, damp places isn't good for book preservation. I would take them out and put them where the master could easily reach them."
"That would be social death..."
I jumped down from the log and stood before Kurumi Tokisaki's Husband, staring straight into his evasive eyes.
"I also want to discuss doujin with everyone, so please, tell what doujin is."
