BJ Villainess

I have no choice but to bet on my singularity. Please, let my purification power work on Ghost as well.

“If it’s burdensome, it’s okay to refuse.”

“No! I will definitely do it.”

Clyde with four black hearts was a human being who would expel me without mercy. Since my life was at stake, I told Ilya with a grim face. “I will definitely help the Professor’s family. I will definitely purify the Ghost.”

Then Ilya said, stroking my head with a faint warmth on his indifferent face. “Okay.”

What kind of archdemon would be so kind?

I touched the spot he stroked awkwardly.

Before I met Ghost, I headed to the abandoned annex to check my condition. After confirming that Reini was in the alchemy lab, no one was in the abandoned annex.

[Theresa Squire]

Description: Princess Squire

Age: 22

Magic Rate: B+

Intelligence: B

Mana: A (12,034/12,034)

My intelligence was still at B-class.

“I read magic books constantly, but why doesn’t my intelligence improve?”

I felt like a student whose grades didn’t improve even though I studied hard.

Ding!

[How can you increase your intelligence in <God’s Play>?]

“Fill in the number of library visits, fill in the number of lectures… Ah.”

I furrowed my brows with an expression of realization.

“I’m not a freshman, but a fourth grader.”

According to the setting, the number of lectures that fourth graders take was only half of that of first graders. Theresa’s grades were bad, so she was taking more lectures than other students, but even so, it was definitely less than a freshman.

“Ugh.”

It looks like I’m going to listen to Professor Felix’s lecture.

Let’s move on for now.

I had something to check next.

“Broadcast settings.”

[Broadcast Setting]

Channel Name: BJ Villainess

Channel Rating: Gold

Channel Ranking: 98th

Sponsorship: 6,348,700 coins

Oh my. The last time I checked, I was definitely pushed out of the top 100. “When did the ranking rise again?”

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Watch the Session Jackko Broadcast’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[Only 98th? ㅋㅋ There’s nothing to check ㅋㅋ.]

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Block Angler’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[Then why are you keeping her in check, you fool ㅋㅋ.]

It was quite a familiar mess now.

Ozworld will block it. However, instead of being notified that it had been blocked, the Constellation that had come to make a mess threw the sponsorship.

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Watch the Session Jackko Broadcast’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[Yes~ You probably want to believe that I’m keeping a check~ But the 98th place can’t compare to the Jackko Broadcast in the 80th place.]

That’s weird. Didn’t Ozworld usually block the Constellation like this? However, I didn’t hear anything from him. Is he busy?

Now the situation has become like this, I have to ask something I’ve always been curious about. “I have a question. Why are you giving me 10,000 coins when you hate this broadcast? You can just give 1 coin and curse.”

However, the answer returned came with a voice. 

“That’s because we have set the notification not to pop up if it wasn’t the maximum sponsorship. Otherwise, the broadcast will get messy.”

Startle! I turned my head in the direction of the voice. Who is it?

He was a stranger. However, there was a strange part that strangely reminded me of Ozworld, like the flashy dyed hair mixed with yellow and red or the flashy accessories worn all over his body.  He wore a bright yellow suit with studs that wouldn’t be sold anywhere.

Ozworld looked like a weirdo, but he had a strange dignity. However, this man just looked less impressive.

The man winked at me. “Hello? The new cutie of Ozworld.”

What are you talking about, crazy guy?

“Who are you?”

When I asked with a lot of caution, the man greeted me with his hand on his chest in an exaggerated motion, just like Ozworld when we first met. “I’m Chehope, the current number one channel manager.”

Why did another channel manager come to see me? While frowning in wonder, Chehope took my hand and tried to kiss it, but I vehemently shook it off.

“Tsk, don’t you know the manners of the noble?”

“Tell me your business.”

He watched me closely and reacted lukewarmly. “Hmm. I thought you were amazing because you broke new records in a row, but you’re much more ordinary than I thought.”

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘” ■zworld is Real World’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[Do you think a kid who has only achieved the top spot once can act so high and mighty? —— Can’t you just disappear already? And please stop cosplaying as Ozworld.]

No wonder he looked like a backward-compatible version of Ozworld.

By the way, ■zworld is Real World? I’ve seen that name somewhere. Ah, is it the Constellation that is called Ozworld like a real world? Looking at the fact that the first letter was deleted, as I guessed before, it seemed right to be automatically filtered when Ozworld was included in the Constellation’s name.  

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Explanation Bug’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[The rising channel managers must be mad at Ozworld; Hey, just watch the best career of Ozworld.]

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Fact is Violence’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[We keep breaking new records, so isn’t he still in his prime? ㅋㅋ.]

Despite the Constellations’ ridicule, Chehope didn’t care and floated the screen in the air.

“The story is obvious, the relationship between characters is obvious, and the villainess is being possessed? It’s the most obvious! I heard that Ozworld has lost his touch these days. Is that true?”

He seemed to be checking my broadcast record.   

If you want to mock Ozworld, do it in front of the person involved.

I said with an exasperated expression. “Why are you checking my broadcast records when you’re another channel manager? There seems to be no such thing as privacy law here.”

“Haha! Privacy law? Channel records are kept in the Akashic Records, so all the managers can see them.”

“…Akashic Records?”

It was a concept I knew. The Akashic Records were like an extra-dimensional library containing all records of the universe.

“That kind of thing really exists.”

Chehope laughed. “You really don’t know anything? I heard that Ozworld is unfriendly to his BJ, but I never expected him not to let his BJ know anything.”

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Cider Pass’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[Go away, you ratㅋㅋ. Did you come here to take over someone else’s broadcast while talking about winning first place again?]

Take over? I watched the conversation between Chehope and the Constellations in silence.

Chehope clutched his chest as if he was deliberately hurt. “That’s so mean, Constellation. This is all about donating your talents as the #1 channel manager to produce high-quality content.”

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Watch the Session Jackko Broadcast’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]

[This broadcast is a piece of cake ㅋㅋ. Did Ozworld doesn’t manage it all?]

“Really? I can smell the ruined broadcast even just looking at the records.”

Chehope giggled. “As the #1 channel manager, I can’t help but give you a solution! Let’s see. How good are your skills? …Huh? Is it an error? Why is this all I can see?”

Chehope burst into laughter as he looked at the screen. “[Character Identification], [Intermediate Etiquette], [Intermediate Dancing], [Horsemanship]? Do you really only have 4 skills that you’ve mastered? I wouldn’t be this harsh even to the ‘Dud’ guys.”

Dud? What is he talking about?

As I frowned, Chehope explained. “Currently, the 99th BJ Gumiho has 82 skills. BJ above 50th place and above has at least 300 skills.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

Chehope tapped his chest as if he were dying of frustration. “If I told you this far, shouldn’t you understand? You’re a discarded card!”

[The Constellations tilt their heads.]

I also titled my head. I don’t think so.

Chehope clicked his tongue and flipped through the screen. “Leaving aside everything else, the story’s pace is the most messed up. You still haven’t done anything to the original female protagonist? You should have got rid of her by now.”

“Are you crazy?”

When I reacted with a ferocious face to his disgusting and unpleasant words, Chehope put on a startled expression.

“This is normal. Are you a fool who doesn’t even know how to make the broadcast interesting?”

I thought what this man wanted was to ruin or steal Ozworld’s broadcast. Since the Constellation said ‘take over’ earlier, there was a high possibility that it was the latter.

He thinks of me as a tool, just like Ozworld. Moreover, he has a very strong sense of self-awareness about it.

From my observation, he didn’t appear to be a figure capable of striking the back of Ozworld.

Then, let’s dig the information.

I opened my mouth with a clueless look.
