I have no choice but to bet on my singularity. Please, let my purification power work on Ghost as well.
âIf itâs burdensome, itâs okay to refuse.â
âNo! I will definitely do it.â
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. âI will definitely help the Professorâs family. I will definitely purify the Ghost.â
Then Ilya said, stroking my head with a faint warmth on his indifferent face. âOkay.â
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)
â˛
My intelligence was still at B-class.
âI read magic books constantly, but why doesnât my intelligence improve?â
I felt like a student whose grades didnât improve even though I studied hard.
Ding!

[How can you increase your intelligence in <Godâs Play>?]
âFill in the number of library visits, fill in the number of lectures⌠Ah.â
I furrowed my brows with an expression of realization.
âIâm not a freshman, but a fourth grader.â
According to the setting, the number of lectures that fourth graders take was only half of that of first graders. Theresaâs grades were bad, so she was taking more lectures than other students, but even so, it was definitely less than a freshman.
âUgh.â
It looks like Iâm going to listen to Professor Felixâs lecture.
Letâs move on for now.
I had something to check next.
âBroadcast settings.â

[Broadcast Setting]
Channel Name: BJ Villainess
Channel Rating: Gold
Channel Ranking: 98th
Sponsorship: 6,348,700 coins
â˛
Oh my. The last time I checked, I was definitely pushed out of the top 100. âWhen did the ranking rise again?â
Ding!
[The Constellation âWatch the Session Jackko Broadcastâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[The Constellation âBlock Anglerâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[Then why are you keeping her in check, you fool ă ă .]
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 âWatch the Session Jackko Broadcastâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[Yes~ You probably want to believe that Iâm keeping a check~ But the 98th place canât compare to the Jackko Broadcast in the 80th place.]
Thatâs weird. Didnât Ozworld usually block the Constellation like this? However, I didnât hear anything from him. Is he busy?
Now the situation has become like this, I have to ask something Iâve always been curious about. âI have a question. Why are you giving me 10,000 coins when you hate this broadcast? You can just give 1 coin and curse.â
However, the answer returned came with a voice.
âThatâs because we have set the notification not to pop up if it wasnât the maximum sponsorship. Otherwise, the broadcast will get messy.â
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 wouldnât 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. âHello? The new cutie of Ozworld.â
What are you talking about, crazy guy?
âWho are you?â
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. âIâm Chehope, the current number one channel manager.â
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.
âTsk, donât you know the manners of the noble?â
âTell me your business.â
He watched me closely and reacted lukewarmly. âHmm. I thought you were amazing because you broke new records in a row, but youâre much more ordinary than I thought.â
Ding!
[The Constellation ââ â zworld is Real Worldâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[Do you think a kid who has only achieved the top spot once can act so high and mighty? ââ Canât you just disappear already? And please stop cosplaying as Ozworld.]
No wonder he looked like a backward-compatible version of Ozworld.
By the way, â zworld is Real World? Iâve 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 Constellationâs name.
Ding!
[The Constellation âExplanation Bugâ 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 âFact is Violenceâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[We keep breaking new records, so isnât he still in his prime? ă ă .]
Despite the Constellationsâ ridicule, Chehope didnât care and floated the screen in the air.
âThe story is obvious, the relationship between characters is obvious, and the villainess is being possessed? Itâs the most obvious! I heard that Ozworld has lost his touch these days. Is that true?â
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. âWhy are you checking my broadcast records when youâre another channel manager? There seems to be no such thing as privacy law here.â
âHaha! Privacy law? Channel records are kept in the Akashic Records, so all the managers can see them.â
ââŚAkashic Records?â
It was a concept I knew. The Akashic Records were like an extra-dimensional library containing all records of the universe.
âThat kind of thing really exists.â
Chehope laughed. âYou really donât know anything? I heard that Ozworld is unfriendly to his BJ, but I never expected him not to let his BJ know anything.â
Ding!
[The Constellation âCider Passâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[Go away, you rată ă . Did you come here to take over someone elseâs 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. âThatâs so mean, Constellation. This is all about donating your talents as the #1 channel manager to produce high-quality content.â
Ding!
[The Constellation âWatch the Session Jackko Broadcastâ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[This broadcast is a piece of cake ă ă . Did Ozworld doesnât manage it all?]
âReally? I can smell the ruined broadcast even just looking at the records.â
Chehope giggled. âAs the #1 channel manager, I canât help but give you a solution! Letâs see. How good are your skills? âŚHuh? Is it an error? Why is this all I can see?â
Chehope burst into laughter as he looked at the screen. â[Character Identification], [Intermediate Etiquette], [Intermediate Dancing], [Horsemanship]? Do you really only have 4 skills that youâve mastered? I wouldnât be this harsh even to the âDudâ guys.â
Dud? What is he talking about?
As I frowned, Chehope explained. âCurrently, the 99th BJ Gumiho has 82 skills. BJ above 50th place and above has at least 300 skills.â
âWhatâs wrong with that?â
Chehope tapped his chest as if he were dying of frustration. âIf I told you this far, shouldnât you understand? Youâre a discarded card!â
[The Constellations tilt their heads.]
I also titled my head. I donât think so.
Chehope clicked his tongue and flipped through the screen. âLeaving aside everything else, the storyâs pace is the most messed up. You still havenât done anything to the original female protagonist? You should have got rid of her by now.â
âAre you crazy?â
When I reacted with a ferocious face to his disgusting and unpleasant words, Chehope put on a startled expression.
âThis is normal. Are you a fool who doesnât even know how to make the broadcast interesting?â
I thought what this man wanted was to ruin or steal Ozworldâs broadcast. Since the Constellation said âtake overâ 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 didnât appear to be a figure capable of striking the back of Ozworld.
