Later, by the ti Miku escaped the situation where she was trapped by countless players, it was already bedti.
Even worse, the ga company noticed Miku's SNS post and contacted her manager, Kurebayashi Subaru. When Miss Manager saw Miku's post, she thought the girl liked the ga very much.
Considering how popular this ga was in Japan, Kurebayashi Subaru believed it was a great chance for mutual promotion. She imdiately made the decision to have Miku beco the ga's spokesperson. As a result, Miku, who already had a lot of work, received an even busier schedule and no longer had ti to level up.
And so, after one round of self destruction, the poor idol-sama left the leveling and marrying Shido race at high speed, with a result nobody had expected.
That night, after comforting Miku, the Spirits all returned to their respective hos, and Shido also lay down on the bed in his bedroom.
"Haa..."
He let out a long sigh and stared blankly at the laptop on his desk. (TL: grind bro , grind harder)
"It's still early. I'll play a little more."
Looking at the ti, and considering he did not need to go to school tomorrow, Shido decided to play a little longer.
After logging in, on the character selection screen, Shido saw the character he had created, "Spirit Guardian," and the female character Mikoto had secretly made while he was away, "ShioriIsSoMoeSoCute."
[Yakumo-senpai, honestly...]
Shido looked at the blue-haired girl on the screen and thought with a wry smile.
Although at Raizen High, Mikoto had earned the title of Yamato Nadeshiko with her polite and kind image, Shido understood that when facing people close to her, the girl more often showed a sweet and slightly mischievous side.
"Well, I'll just play for a little bit..."
Seeming to have thought of sothing, Shido clicked that character and entered the ga.
It was already late at night, and Miku had also logged off, so most of Miku's fans in the beginner village had more or less left. There was no need to worry about the screen freezing.
After doing a few quests, Shido joined a random party to grind monsters and level up.
Before long...
Player D: "I'm so curious. Is 'ShioriIsSoMoeSoCute' a boy or a girl offline?"
Facing this question, Shido froze for a mont.
ShioriIsSoMoeSoCute: "Guess?" (TL: bro is catfishing lmao)
In the end, he typed that sentence with a mischievous smile.
[Well, it's not Yakumo-senpai. There's no way they'll guess wrong, right?]
Even though it was a female character, he had always spoken with a male tone and wording, so there should be no need to think too hard to figure out the player's gender.
Player E: "Do we even need to guess? Definitely a girl, a girl "
Player F: "I bet she's a JK! JKs are the best!"
Player D: "Yeah, Shiori must be a blue haired JK offline too "
[...]
Snap!
Looking at the chat log on the screen, Shido completely turned pale with a petrifying sound effect.

The next day, because school was closed and everyone had nothing to do, they began their leveling journey first thing in the morning.
"Eeeh? Everyone can play during the day too? That's so unfair!"
Kotori, who had to go to class early in the morning, unlike the Raizen High students and unlike Yoshino and Natsumi, who were not students, said this unwillingly.
"Well, that can't be helped. Be good and listen in class, Kotori."
Shido walked over and stroked Kotori's head, comforting her.
"Ugh... I'm heading out, then."
Although she was very unwilling, Kotori still nodded obediently and said goodbye to everyone before going to school.
When she ca back at night, although she had ntally prepared herself, seeing that she was several levels lower than everyone still set off alarm bells in Kotori's heart.
[This can't go on!]
Unlike Shido and the others, who did not need to go to school because classes were suspended, she had to attend class every single day except weekends. If this continued, her level would beco the lowest among everyone.
Thinking that, Kotori removed the white ribbons and changed from little sister mode back into commander mode.
Two hours later...
"Um... Is it just my imagination? Kotori's leveling speed is way too fast, right?"
Natsumi looked at the party information displayed on the screen and asked suspiciously.
Because they were in a party, everyone's level was displayed in the party mber information. From a while ago, Kotori's level had been shooting upward like a rocket.
Although low level characters needed less experience to level up, that speed was still beyond common sense.
"Yeah. Is there so trick?"
Shido turned his head and looked at Kotori's screen.
"Eh? Um... There's... there's no trick."
Kotori panicked and reached out, seemingly trying to cover up a buff in her character status bar. She looked extrely suspicious.
However, what she did not know was that because they were in a party, those buffs could easily be seen by clicking on a teammate's icon.
"Triple EXP Leveling Gift Pack? Wait! What is this?"
Shido clicked Kotori's status panel on his own computer and said in surprise.
"Um... Could it be paid items?"
Mikoto thought for a mont and said.
What people called paid items ant purchasing in ga items with real money. For example, potions that fully restored HP and MP with one drink, protective charms that prevented equipnt from breaking when enhancent failed, or—
A buff that increased experience gained several tis over for a short period.
"Wait! What is that? Isn't that way too unfair?!"
Kaguya cried out in shock.
"Protest. Paying to win is forbidden."
Yuzuru agreed.
"Ugh... Wh-what's wrong with that? Online gas are free to play, pay to win, aren't they?"
Kotori said unhappily.
"No, no, no. Although you're not exactly wrong, paying must be banned."
Shido retorted with cold sweat.
Although there was nothing wrong with Kotori paying money itself, if this continued, the other Spirits would all follow her example. In the end, the ga would turn into a contest of who could pour more money into it.
"Ugh... But... if it's like that, it's too unfair for ..."
"Okay, we'll let it pass this ti. From now on, when Kotori goes to school, I'll help keep your character in the party. That should solve it, right?"
Shido understood what Kotori was thinking. He smiled, stroked the girl's head, and comforted her.
Although Kotori herself had to go to school, as long as her character used the "follow" command and stayed tightly behind soone in the party, she could freeload experience the entire ti.
"Th-then... let's do that."
Facing Shido's thoughtfulness, Kotori shyly turned her head away.
"Shido! I've reached the level for marriage!"
While everyone was discussing the ban on paid items, Tohka suddenly jumped up and shouted. (TL: Tohka!? She really is the dark horse)
