Chapter 292

It seems Uranus, Bell, and Darzorne are discussing in the distance how to handle their shares.

As I somehow sat down, Mr. Senritsu smiled and spoke to me.

"That was a big deal.

Hearing it gave me the courage to come here."

"Please don't make fun of me.

I just said it exactly right."

"No, you meant it from the bottom of your heart, didn't you?

I almost forgot this is also a game."

...... I didn't think too much when I spoke. Since the opponent is a game character, I didn't have time to think. Totally embarrassing...

"I've said it many times, but I'm happy to share.

Even if divided by the number of people, it's only 1/10, and it's not of much use. I had a lot of fun in this event."

"But saying nothing is..."

"Bell, are you sure?

Even if you're fine with it, I think my husband would cry if he knew."

"Uh..."

"Husband?"

"Yeah. Is this guy married in the game?"

"What?"

"Hey, Uranus, what are you doing?"

"You, even if you hold a wedding here, it doesn't matter if you get caught.

Even though I'm talking about my share, I can't help but mention that I have a companion.... Collecting this love information, your husband cooperated too, right?"

"..."

"By the way, just as we said, multiplying that card with 'Copy' is enough."

"Even you guys need money to clear the game, right?"

"That's what we promised; as long as we get the required cards, we won't be far from clearing the game.

I will do everything I can to save money."

"... I've been under your care before; if you keep pushing me like this, I won't be calm.

How much does that card actually cost?"

"I've never obtained it myself... this is natural.

Bell too, right?"

"Yes. I don't know how much it will sell for.

The market price varies from card to card."

"It's A-Rank, it should be at least 100,000.

If it's a card that can be obtained repeatedly, the rate will drop."

"Isn't that a card you can't get once you've obtained it?

If I sit down again when Aisa is here, the next time will probably be a dating event."

"Ah... it seems so.

Of course, I just persuaded him; it was just a while ago, and it didn't feel like a love part. I almost forgot this is Love City."

"Anyway, if you don't try to sell the stock, it's hard to talk about the stock."

"Looking at the price, I will press the Binder with a Gold Card, and now I just need to confirm the selling price.

So, do you want to go to the Trade Shop?

... No, before that, I must get confirmation from the person who made the greatest contribution."

As I sat absent-mindedly, ignoring the praise from Sim and Melerone, Uranus walked over.

"Well done, Aisa. Congratulations again.

I didn't expect it to clear. I could do it easily."

"... You too.

Please don't praise me too much. I'm really not good at that kind of thing."

If someone thinks I'm good at it and forces me to do something similar again, that would be a problem.... I was lucky.

Uranus smiled happily for some reason,

"Didn't you forget this is a game in progress?"

"..."

Shameful.

I didn't have time, so I just said what I was thinking."

"Enjoying the conversation is probably the true longing of this city of romance.

If you like it, that's great."

Enjoy it?... That's right. This point is important.

"More importantly, what about the story of sharing?"

"Yes. About that.

Neon and the others will receive money, and we will receive cards.

Therefore, I want to increase the number of cards through 'Copy' and sell the originals to make money, is that okay? This is a card Aisa worked hard to get, but..."

"Oh, yes."

"Is that okay? I'm not particular about the original or the copy."

"Are you alright, Aisha?"

"Yes, of course."

I nod in response to the Stick of Seam.

If I said I didn't regret it at all, I would be lying, but I have no choice but to give Neon's team a reward. I guess they don't need the designated Pocket Card.

Uranus takes out a Binder containing "books" and pulls out a card.

"—On the 'Roster/List'. 97"

Currently 97 units of "3D Camera"

Players who possess it

3 people

Number possessed

3 cards

"Because"

"... Someone is using it. Very few."

"It's a safe event, it's just a matter of knowing how to obtain it. In that sense, I think it's even fewer.

Now. I know it's fine, let's add more.

Aisha. Move the designated Pocket Card to somewhere other than the camera."

"Yes."

I packed the three items, "Pearl Locust", "Millennium Aheha", and "Floating Stone", into my Empty Pocket.

At the same time, Uranus takes a card from the designated pocket, de-transforms using the Paladin's Necklace, and returns it to "Copy".

"Aisha, use this when you're ready."

"Yes.

—'Copy/Clone' activate."

The card transforms into a "3D Camera" card.

"I don't want to get them mixed up, so I'll keep the copied card."

It would be helpful if you could do that. Anyway, if I were to sell it now, I might do something else. After a while, I can't say for sure that I wasn't wrong.

"Did you add more cards?"

Mr. Bell, who was watching the situation from afar, asked.

"Yes. Aisha has the original, and I have the copy.

Now, let's go to the Trade Shop."

"That's fine, but is the Love Love conquest over just like that?"

"Hmm...

But isn't the designated pocket event almost over?

Kappopassbook Tsundere eating bread was annihilated, the little Demon wink's Dandagroup couldn't do it because they had a fight, Connectiction refused because they didn't want to cut their hair, Homonecookie didn't clear the 3 types of love events. I couldn't challenge it.

There are 5 designated pockets, including the camera, so there are no more."

"Are you not planning to do another money-making event?"

"... You've earned enough, haven't you?"

"That's just your team, isn't it?

How are you guys doing lately?"

"Hmm."

The conversation between Uranus and Mr. Bell seems suspicious. Eh? Are you still doing it? Honestly, this is enough.

Anyway, to check the purchase price, I went to the Love Love Trade Shop.

Upon checking, the "Tortoiseshell Glasses" are 35,000 Jenny, just as Uranus said.

And the essential "3D Camera" is 1.36 million Jenny.

Money Card Heavy block, I haven't sold it yet to avoid being ripped off. It's not convenient to save money here.

"Sure enough, I'm hesitant about whether to accept all of this..."

"It's a promise, so it's fine."

"Yeah. I don't mind either."

"No, but..."

After all, the three of you caused trouble. After deducting the expenses for eating and drinking at the coffee shop, it's still 1.39 million. Of course, is it too generous to hand over the entire amount?

Consultation result.

The income from the camera will be split equally between Mr. Dalzollene and Mr. Bell. We didn't receive money because we received a "Copy" card.

After deducting dining expenses, the income from the glasses is split among all participants.

With this, our financial income is almost zero. So—

There are other money-making events, and I know the conditions for liquidation, so we decided to liquidate and share the proceeds.

Oh. You're still doing it...

We moved from in front of the Trade Shop to a plaza with a good view.

In front of the fountain, a man and a woman are fighting, forming a sharp contrast with other couples who are playing around.

"So that's why you said that!"

"I didn't say that!"

"You just won't listen! You pointed it out quite well!"

"When the hell did I say that! I don't remember it at all!"

"Idiot! I've told you so many times!"

"You're the fool!"

"It's you! Balkabaka!"

"This...! I've never seen a moron like you!"

... Yes. I can't stand hearing this.

Uranus began to explain with a cold face.

"This is a typical case where two people arguing say nothing, and then they break up.

Therefore, if a player talks to a character of the opposite sex, a dialogue event will begin.

Basically, if you pick up the person in question and speak in a way that belittles the other party, you can usually clear it."

Hmm. In other words, pretend to appease one of the couples arguing and breaking up, and then steal them away? This is an annoying event.

"Uranus is talking about female characters.

Male characters are usually a setting where frustration is accumulating, so the basic thing is to release it as much as possible and refresh it. The emotional changes of both characters are significant, and it's easy to see if you look closely."

Mr. Neon and the other women nodded at Mr. Bell's explanation. Meleoron did not react, partly because she was not involved. I... didn't know how to react.

As we were talking, the couple in front of the fountain separated and began to walk in opposite directions.

"Alright, let's get started.

This is a waste of time, so let's do it in the order we decided earlier."

"Yes, that's fine."

"..."

Mr. Senritsu willingly agreed to Uranus's words, and Mr. Darzorne responded with a frown.

Successfully completed the capture of the male characters with Mr. Senritsu, Mr. Wese, and Mr. Neon. Uh, it's quite stressful because everyone does it so easily.

The female characters didn't seem to be captured either. I can clear the seams without any difficulty.

Capturing a man and a woman at the same time like this seems quite efficient. It is said that couples who break up after an argument will return to the original place after a while and start arguing again. However, once a person starts a dialogue event with the player, there is no benefit in talking to the other person until it ends. This means that for one fight, one event will occur.

In other words, if you face the other party at the same time, you can capture it without waiting.

... However, Mr. Bell is currently capturing male characters, and the female character should be Uranus in order, but for some reason, she was ignored.

I was curious, so I went there. Looking at Toko, a group of people were chatting Together, and they probably had the same problem with Uranus as I did.

"Why aren't you doing it?"

"Ah, actually it should be my turn, but I still have things to do.

I'm waiting now."

"What?"

"I hope the capture of all male characters is over."

Yeah? I don't know.

So, my challenge. Nodding, appeasing, and sometimes even praising the person who keeps complaining,

"──... That's right."

As soon as I finished speaking, the expression of the man I was saying nice things to suddenly changed, and I was startled. The people around also went "Wow." Oops, I did it again...!

"... I see. Are you the same as that stupid woman?

Let's talk about it!"

Ah!? I was supposed to just listen and agree, but my thoughts got stuck.

... No, if it were the first time I heard it, I could pass it. But this is my fifth time. I don't care, I want to complain.... Oh yes. Excuse me. I'm angry. Why?

While sending away the man who was about to leave, he looked back at the women who were afraid that he had failed.

Everyone rolled their eyes. After saying that, they looked at me with admiration. Hmm?

Mr. Bell walked over and patted my back. Hey! Are you angry!?

"Don't be like that! You said what you wanted to say, so I'm relieved!"

"Yes?"

What? Are you praising me? Did I fail?

Even the unfriendly Mr. Wese gave me a sarcastic smile,

"Everyone thought about it, but didn't say it and endured it...

It's frustrating, but it's definitely refreshing."

"That's right, that person looked down on women, which made me feel sick."

Neon said the same thing.

"You've been listening to us patiently, haven't you?

I couldn't help but have an Explosion."

Mr. Senritsu comforted me in a gentle tone. Uh, wow, hey... I want to cry.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.

"Hmm. Anyway, everyone here is done for now.

Everyone, I apologize for my carelessness and failure."

Meleoron was a step away, but didn't say anything. She doesn't participate, so it might be difficult to talk to her.

Seeing the commotion subside, the man who was also hesitant came to my side.

"Considering what Aisha cleaned up just now, I can easily get the change.

You don't have to worry about being alone."

Uranus said so. Hmm... maybe that's the case. What are the rewards for clearing this event?

Even so, the events in this city are quite difficult. Even if you know how to clear the event, if I say these things here, how will they react? I'm curious. I don't even feel like I'm indulging in the creator's tricks...

"So, it seems you haven't done it yet, why?"

"There is something I want to show you."

Uranus avoided Mr. Bell's question again. I wonder what it is.

Just then, the male and female characters who had returned to their original positions began to quarrel as usual.

Uranus should have waited for them to break up, but Uranus approached the two during the fight.

"Ah, you two.

What are you doing loudly in a place like this?"

...! Arbitration! I see, when I thought something was wrong, the main thing was to mediate between the two.

Uranus carefully untangled things, explaining one by one to the two who were alternately attacking each other.

"Conversation is the result of mutual effort from both sides, so it won't work if only one person tries to speak. Even if you think you are trying to understand yourself, it is meaningless if the other party cannot understand you."

"... I was speaking so that you could understand correctly."

"Me too!"

"But you didn't check if the other person understood, did you?"

"..."

"Of course, if you ask, 'Did you understand what I said?', it might lead to an argument, but you can understand such things by observing the other person's situation. I have to do that.

Periodically, both the listener and the speaker should be aware of what they should do in order to convey their feelings to the other party—"

... What is it? Since the two are arguing like children, I think I have to speak as if I am admonishing children. It doesn't matter if there is trouble.

But Uranus, you often notice such things... Mr. Bell is also listening to the story with great interest. After all, Uranus doesn't believe it either, so I wonder if he did a lot of research.

"Look, you two really want to make up, right?"

After saying this, Uranus held their two hands and made them shake hands. Hmm, why do you need not only words, but also actions like this?

"... I'm sorry. Calling me an idiot."

"Mm-hmm. I don't think I was listening properly either."

An apology that had never been spoken suddenly popped out, and the two began to talk calmly. Oh, it's clear. This point is very clear.

"Thank you. Thank you.

... Yes, please take this. I use it as an Amulet for making friends."

"Yes. We don't need them anymore.

... Maybe I shouldn't have broken them into pieces. Carry them with you."

Then, Uranus received something from both of them at the same time. I turned it into a card.

"Alright then. Thank you."

"Goodbye."

A couple holding hands.... What is it? I can't help but feel that this is unconvincing.

"376: Angry Squid Cat's Eye

E-Rank Card, Card Limit 108

The red cat's eye stone makes you feel intense anger.

"379: Reluctant Beggar Tiger's Eye

E-Rank Card, Card Limit 108

The yellow Tiger Eye stone makes you feel deep resentment.

These two cards are cards that can be taken when clearing the female character and clearing the male character.

And the card Uranus got is—

"381: Connected Blue Eyes"

C-Rank Card, Limit 33

I hung the calm blue cat's eye and Tiger Eye stone side by side

A necklace spun with skin-friendly thread

Has a charm that brings people Together.

I see... because the two of us shared this Amulet. The disagreement is there. But don't you usually separate them? However, I think it is an item similar to a trap.

Ah, but that kind of limit. There is also a prop that allows Manipulation of interpersonal relationships, a designated pocket card.

"These two pieces of Jewel sell for about $40,000 each.

In comparison, the Jewel I took is 280,000."

Too noisy. Uh, uh is different...

"Hey hey, then Hana should have taught me how to get that."

Mr. Bell would naturally complain. Uranus shook his head with a cold face,

"Players who have reached this arbitration end will not be able to participate in this event again."

One.... Is that so?

"You can only do it once a day, but if you keep clearing the battles, you can earn money every day.

However, I cannot earn money immediately after arbitration, and I can no longer earn money from this event.

... Can't say which is better?"

Mr. Basho, who had been pointed out, groaned, "Ugh...", and Mr. Darzorne crossed his arms and began to ponder. Of course, I cannot say which one is correct. If you suddenly need a lot of money, you should include this arbitration ending in your choices.

"There are some events in this game that force you to make such difficult choices.

Hmm, think about it carefully."

... Did Uranus intentionally clear it in front of everyone because he wanted to teach it? Hmm, maybe it's because I don't want to earn money in this town.

"Hmm...

You are also a Cupid in love."

Mr. Bell was half-surprised and half-exclaiming.

"Hmm? Why do you say that... ah."

"Correct?

If it weren't for you, I might not have even been able to get married."

"What did you do, Uranus?"

Mr. Darzorne showed interest in the exchange between Uranus and Mr. Bell.

"That, what should I do"

"Stop, Bell! Don't talk to humans like that!"

Ah, Uranus. Hard to say. Neon-san and the girls are very interested. If I didn't know, I would have noticed.

"Hmm, that's hard to do.

I can't put you in a corner with that kind of thing."

"No! That's not right!"

Uranus shook his head, desperately denying Mr. Wese's misunderstanding. Hmm, when you show an attitude of not wanting me to say it, you can't say you were misunderstood.

Neon-san approached Su-su-su and Bell-san,

"I will keep it a secret, even if it's just from me."

"Yeah... this guy is my husband—"

"Stop it!!"

Uranus grabbed Mr. Bell's shoulder and forcibly pulled him away from Mr. Neon. My eyes were brimming with tears. No matter what you are doing, it will blow up because it looks too girlish.
