BJ Villainess

“I possess character in the game I made, so I’m just doing what I know.”

“That’s why it’s more of a problem. If you had the right skill, you would have already broken it.”

“Does that mean that Ozworld is trying to kill me?”

When I asked with a dark expression, Chehope laughed bitterly.

“Now you understand your situation. That’s right. Ozworld is cornering you to kill you!”

“Then he can kill me himself. Why would he do such bothersome things?”

“That’s right, killing you himself…”

Chehope said and then suddenly closed his mouth. It was clear that it was information he didn’t want to share.

“Anyway, the important thing is that you’re broadcasting at a very disadvantage right now.”

“I see.”

Looks like the channel manager can’t kill BJ directly.

Chehope excitedly pointed out that this is wrong and that is wrong. Then he paused at a certain point. “…Quest reward is a coin?” It was obviously a look of surprise.

“Ha! Ah… So you’re going with this strategy?”

Should I say it’s a nervous expression?

“This is the biggest problem. The quest reward system is the most effective and reliable system to improve BJ, but to waste it just with coins?! Even without properly replenishing store items!”

I tilted my head. “If I collect coins, I can buy a wish ticket.”

“Raising the rankings and channel rating is the first priority. Then you can earn coins that are incomparable to now. Do you get it?”

In principle, Chehope was right.

“But I haven’t had any inconvenience so far?”

Except for the nervousness of not receiving the advanced etiquette, the items needed at the right time have been stocked up so far.

“Haaa. You’re really stupid. The reason you got to this position is purely because this is the first romance broadcast managed by Ozworld.”

Chehope explained with veins popping up his neck that the upper world was a real war of stars. “An uncompetitive BJ like you will never survive. You’re going to fall off very quickly.”

As I was blinking, Chehope approached me with a cheesy smile as if he was trying to seduce me. “It would be different if you became my BJ.”

Indeed. My prediction wasn’t wrong.

“If it were me, I could make you number one in the shortest amount of time. I promise to treat you the best.”

At that time, when I found something, I widened my eyes and raised my hand as if to dissuade him. “Wait, behind you!”

“If you want to be transferred, I will immediately—”

Pow!

“Uurgh!”

The sound of the punch was rougher and worse than I thought. So it made me feel more nauseous.

Ozworld appeared suddenly from behind Chehope, stretched out his hand, and punched him. He was definitely barehand, only wearing his gloves.

Tududuk! On the floor, something like stardust surrounded by transparent liquid poured out. It was a beautiful light that didn’t match the eerie sight.  

Chehope turned his head back with his bloody eyes wide open. “Keugh… Do you know that the punishment for injuring the manager has been strengthened these days…?”

Ozworld responded casually. “Yes, I know.” And twisted his hand. Pow!

“Aargh! Damn it! Don’t touch the core! Do you think you can safely pass to do something like this to the #1 channel manager?!”

A system window appeared next to Ozworld. I checked the screen with only my gaze moving in a stiff frozen state. It said [Compensation completed].

Ozworld shrugged. “Looks like I made it through unscathed.”

“Stop! Stop—! Damn it, I’ll never touch this BJ from now on!”

Only then did Ozworld withdraw his hand. I saw that his black gloves were full of tiny particles of light.

Chehope stumbled back, uttering a number of swear words, and then disappeared.

Ding!

[Channel Manager – Ozworld has blocked the Constellation ‘‘Watch the Session Jackko Broadcast’.]

The Constellation that was messing around was also blocked by him. Everything was sorted out in an instant.

I looked at him with a pale face. It seemed that my energy, which had been restored by the potion, had been depleted again.  I knew he was a ruthless man. I knew it, but what I saw in person shocked me greatly.

He’s someone you can’t deal with common sense. Still, knowing that this man couldn’t kill me was the biggest gain of the day.

I should also remember that channel managers have a core, and their blood is unique.

“Haa, gosh.”

Ozworld threw off his gloves grimly as if he had something dirty on him. The black gloves turned into dust in the air before they even touched the floor.

“It’s been a long time since I saw you, but you made me go through something bad.”

He patted his shoulder and said in a slightly annoyed voice.

“The Constellations will be watching the advertisement for a while. To see the channel manager intervene in the broadcast. What an amateurish move.”

Today’s Ozworld was the same as usual, splendidly dressed up, but something different stood out.

…Is it snow?

Ozworld’s colorful dyed hair and red suits were covered with white snow. It was completely out of season, so I realized he had come here quickly from somewhere else. There’s no way it’s snowing on a spring day.

I reached out to his shoulder without realizing it. The snowflakes that touched my hand were cold.

“…It’s real snow.”

“Do you like snow?”

There was no reason to lie, so I spoke frankly. “I like it.”

Ozworld then kissed me on the cheek. He smiled as I froze in surprise.

“How have you been?”

Ah, it was a greeting. I unconsciously tried to wipe my cheek but restrained myself. Now, I’m quite used to Ozworld’s unruly behavior, but I haven’t adapted to this custom. Besides, I was kissed at a totally unexpected time, so my heart dropped.

Ozworld shook the snow off his head like a puppy.

“…Cold.”

It’s all bouncing on me.

“Did it bounce?”

He gently rubbed my wet cheek with his ungloved hand. It was an act that felt awkwardly friendly.

“Enough, I—”

“It’s not a very good feeling to be turned down, Miss Theresa.”

He really does whatever he wishes. As always, I let Ozworld do whatever he wanted, but I suddenly had a question that made me open my mouth.

“Is something like this common to happen?”

“You mean another channel manager coming over? Not really. It’s an unwritten rule not to interfere with each other.”

Ozworld looked up for a moment, dropping his hand from my cheek. I felt a faint annoyance in the deep blue eyes staring into the air, perhaps thinking of something.

“Sometimes there are manipulative managers. The broadcasts I manage are especially easy to target.”

Is it the trouble of a successful person?

“The manager said earlier that I don’t have many skills. Is that okay?”

“This is not a hunter genre or an infinite loop genre, so excessive skill usage only diminishes the enjoyment of the broadcast. It also obscures the essence of romance broadcast.”

He must be a love expert.

Chehope paid attention to the fact that my quest reward was a coin, not a growth skill. So why did Ozworld choose coins over skills?

“Are you aiming for the shortest sponsorship record?”

With that, a new record notification would pop up on all servers, and a large number of Constellations would come here.

Ozworld smirked at my murmur. “I’m glad you’re not stupid.”

As I was narrowing my eyebrows at the words I didn’t know if it was a curse word or a compliment, Ozworld held out his arm. Now I’m used to this kind of behavior. I put my hand on his arm like a well-trained puppy. Ozworld smiled slightly as if praising my actions, then moved slowly.

We began walking around the abandoned annex. The smell of soil and grass was refreshing, thanks to the rain yesterday. It felt as if the terrifying events of the moment had quickly flowed into the past.

Ozworld spoke. “Actually, the idea of this strategy came from your play style.”

“My play style?”

“These days, all the broadcasts are excessively stimulating and don’t delve into the struggles and lives of individuals. Well, who would watch such things? They’re boring and lame.”

It was a trend seen in all the content industries. As time goes by, people feel that deep and delicate things are getting slower and more frustrating.

“Then, compared to other broadcasts, a BJ with a humble, ordinary worldview appeared.”

Is <God’s Play>, where all kinds of races and magic prevail, an ordinary worldview? Aren’t the standards of the Constellations too twisted?

“These days, it’s full of stimulating content, so even the Constellations must have been irritated. That’s why I personally analyze that the retro-themed ‘Villainess’ is on the rise.”

“…”

As an ordinary earthling, I couldn’t keep up with the conversation at all.
