The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 176: "Blanc Space-Time"

"Show me the Robot next time. Absolutely."

"Okay, okay, you're noisy. But more importantly, Lyra, do you have any information or something?"

"Huh, is Blanc-chan's turn over now?"

"Yeah, well. I'm not expecting much..."

"Huh?"

Blanc is in shock.

However, if Blanc can obtain information, Deas, who is also guarding, should be able to obtain it too, as evident from the current report.

It seems like the Count occasionally visits, but even if he obtains something there, if Deas doesn't know about it, it's information he doesn't intend to share.

"So, what should I do? Honestly, Rare-chan's information isn't that significant in terms of effects, but its confidentiality is on a different level. It's information that absolutely shouldn't be known by anyone else. It violates the rules the operators have publicly disclosed. And if it's information equivalent to that... hmm."

"Oh, speaking of bugs, there was some strange behavior. When trying to transfer while controlling a subordinate, there were some odd messages. They may have fixed it by now since they log it."

"Huh, really? So there's a possibility that the transfer itself has been fixed?"

"How about that? If you're in a state of possessing a subordinate, it seems like you can hear system messages that were originally supposed to be announced to that familiar. According to the official disclosure in response to questions, 'NPCs cannot hear system messages, so they generally cannot transfer.' So maybe transfer should be possible."

"...Uh-oh, I really can't keep up with the conversation. Um, is it okay to bring Magenta or someone next time?"

"It's fine, right? Next time is Rare-chan's place, so you need Rare-chan's permission, maybe? More importantly, trying to hear system messages with the avatar of a subordinate is an experiment you wouldn't do unless you actively wanted to and went out of your way for it. Was it bothering you for a while?"

"Yeah, well. Since it's said that the only difference from players is there, if you can clear that, it's practically impossible to distinguish, I thought."

"...The only difference is there, huh. I see. Hmmm."

Lyra is staring at us with an exploratory gaze.

For all players, it's common knowledge that NPCs cannot use the system, including the inventory. However, the explanation that the only difference is in the matter of system messages should be seen as the developers' deception. Lyra is likely suspicious of Rare talking about that deception information as if it were correct. If roles were reversed, Rare would probably feel the same.

"What should I do? The information disclosed by Rare-chan this time is too significant, and I can't come up with anything equivalent."

"Can you stop with the cryptic talk?"

"It's a bit thoughtless to scold me only for that. Well, it's a private tea party, so I guess it's fine."

"Um, do you happen to have a waffle maker? Can I exchange it for a mithril ingot?"

"I'm sorry, I need to check with Lady Lyra."

Blanc, who completely gave up on joining the conversation, is engaging with the maid.

In ordinary thinking, it's an absurd exchange rate, but the waffle iron is also made of mithril, so it's not unusual.

"By the way, I mentioned a waffle iron earlier, but when I think about it calmly, it's not really an iron."
