Kapitel 18: Promotion of Video

Liora doesn't really think about order, so I sometimes guide her. She tried to eat bread with a knife and fork, so I told her, "You can use your hands for that."

She grabbed the large white bread firmly.

Liora bit into it energetically, but her expression turned to confusion. She pulled her face away from the bread, looking at me with a frightened expression.

"Is this bread?"

"Yes, it is."

"It's not hard... Did my attack power increase?"

"No, that's just the type of bread it is."

"Amazing... Is this the power of a god? I am happy~ Yea, long live god!!"

"It's not my power, though."

Liora began to eat the bread slowly this time.

She seemed scared of the fluffy texture. Soft as a cloud of cotton, the bread was far from her understanding of what bread should be—something you tear with your teeth.

This was the moment when the common knowledge of the bread industry (at least in Liora's mind) was about to be overturned.

Bread that tears apart just by grazing it with your lips. The more you chew, the sweeter the dough becomes. She ate like a hamster, munching away.

Before I could stop her, it was all gone.

Liora was astonished when she saw the empty plate. Tears started to well up in her eyes, so I quickly patted her head.

"It's okay, you can order more."

"Order more?"

"Yes, it's called a refill."

"A refill?"

"It means buying more food. We have money, and this time, it's on Euclis. You can get as many refills as you want."

"Refills! Wow! God knows everything!"

Understanding the concept of refills excitedly, Liora continued to eat with the grace I had taught her, though with the enthusiasm of a beast.

It was an incredible sight to see someone eat so elegantly yet so voraciously.

　▽

After about ten refills, Liora left the room.

It was like watching a monster devour its prey.

I'm not much of an eater myself, but I couldn't help but watch. I now understood why eating challenges were popular on video sites.

A cute girl eating a lot of food. Fantastic!

And she eats so neatly! This would make great content. With Liora's permission, I recorded the whole thing.

I'll upload it to a video site.

There is a reason for this: Liora is currently on the front lines of PHO. Her battle footage has been posted on forums, making her somewhat known.

This can be dangerous.

It only creates more "potential enemies."

But if a beautiful young girl eats happily and neatly, it might actually gain her allies.

'The goal is to reduce the likelihood of PK—player killing—and eventually create a situation where targeting Liora results in severe backlash, making the game unplayable for those who try.'

For the first time in my life, I made a forum post.

The topic was about Liora, who was mentioned in a thread about field bosses.

Simply advertising would create enemies, so I wrote something like this:

Field Boss Strategy Thread 78!

45...Black Cat Knight

　We still can't defeat it...

　Helmuth can only level up by 10, but his defensive skills are all insane.

　Is poison the answer? Poison it to death?

　At least we can escape without losing anyone now.

46...Lloyd

　Judging by Zephyr's video, player skill is also required.

　Liora alone can't tank it.

　She's probably a tank-focused character herself.

　I also took "Darkness Creation" because I'm a Dark Spirit user, but I can't use it.

　It just gets wobbly and disappears. I can't maintain its shape.

47...Zephyr

　To 46-san:

　Yes.

　The skill "Darkness Creation" is difficult without a clear image of the final form.

　It wavers due to unexpected factors like wind and battle aftermath.

　For now, aim to get the skill level to 10.

　It should help stabilize the shape somewhat.

48...Archangel

　It's the real Zephyr!!!

　Please, we want a collab with Liora!

　Cuteness is justice! Combine it with me, Archangel and it's double justice!

49...Megumi

　Zephyr!?

　I want to ask, how can I make my child's character strong?

　My little boy can't fight at all, so he can't level up.

　I just watch and adore him.

　I want to go on an adventure and find unknown cute boys.

50...Zephyr

　>48

　A collab is a bit... Liora is very shy.

　She allowed this much filming though...

　[Video of Liora eating happily and neatly]

　>49

　It might be the NPC's personality.

　In my case, Liora was prepared to fight from the start.

　She fought monsters risking her life to escape being mistreated in her village.

　Even doing practice swings can raise skill levels, so maybe start there.

　>50

　It's a vast forest.

　I forgot to record a video, but it's a forest made of trees like skyscrapers.

　The enemies are level 30 insects that swarm in large numbers.

　There are many elves in the Elven country.

　The second wave will likely include many elf contracts. All beautiful.

　I recommend Euclis as a strong NPC. He's an SS-rank adventurer.

　A good person!

　I have some real-life errands to run, so I'll be off.

Trying the forum was tough however I at least achieved what I wanted to.

That's how it went.

Archangel's assist was a hit.

I timed the post so she would definitely react, and from there, I naturally promoted Liora.

The forum buzzed with excitement afterwards.

Indeed, eating challenge videos are popular.

A cute fantasy girl eating a lot is rare in real life.

I created a channel for uploading and streaming videos just for this purpose. I'll post the video there.

The channel is called "Liora Eats Well." Please subscribe.

The views are doing well.

Subscribers are increasing too. Many seem to expect me to upload strategy videos, but unfortunately, you'll only see humanity's potential (eating a lot).

I received a lot of strategy questions, but I did say I was logging off.

I also hinted that I don't use forums often due to bad eyesight. My poor eyesight is actually true, so it's okay.

I wear glasses on my days off. These days, every day is an off day.

Liora's popularity seems to be heading in a good direction.

Ideally, she'd stay unnoticed... but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll turn Liora into a beloved big-eating cute girl, a popular video content star.

'By the way, is it true that popular video creators make a lot of money?'
