[Channel Sub-manager capacity increase: 100,000 points.]
'If not this, there's also the method of promoting Super Pretty Girl instead of Mr. Know-It-All to sub-manager.'
The problem was that this wasn't something that would end in a day or two.
I thought it would take at least a few weeks, and I doubted whether it was right to swap positions with Mr. Know-It-All during that time.
"......."
At the same time, the words I had declared to the God of Light came to mind.
'I said I would show them one by one what I can do.'
It goes without saying, but I had no intention of ending it with just a gallery block and a bomb.
Besides, once my thoughts reached that point, I didn't want to worry too much about the points I had.
<Survivor★(2ch): If I support you, how far can you go?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): When you say support, what kind of support are you talking about?>
I told her about almost all the support I could provide.
<Survivor★(2ch): I'll promote you to sub-manager for the time being. Then you'll be able to read posts in Channel 6 as well.>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Kiiieeeek!! Another channel?! That means my gallery world is expanding!>
When I told her about the sub-manager authority, Super Pretty Girl was happier than I had expected.
'Is it that good?'
I couldn't understand it, but it was much better than having no reaction.
<Survivor★(2ch): And what if I let you use surveillance cameras to secretly watch targets, and also let you check the nicknames of the people shown on those cameras?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Surveillance cameras and nickname verification?! Don't tell me you intend to make me the god of the gallery?!>
Perhaps because she was excited, Super Pretty Girl returned to her original way of speaking.
Looking at Super Pretty Girl, I decided that even if I unlocked it, I would only do it for Channel 6.
'If she starts touching other channels, I feel like things will spiral out of control.'
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Kehehe. Just thinking about it makes my hands and feet tremble.>
Also, seeing her reaction now, I wondered if I had brought it up for no reason.
<Survivor★(2ch): What I want is to corrupt the faith of the people in Channel 6. Can you do that?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): It's just ruining one person's image. If it's in my hands, it won't even take a few days.>
<Survivor★(2ch): What's more important than ruining their image is the people's faith.>
Ruining the image was important, but the God of Light might also take action.
'They might even shout that it's an attack from another channel.'
Since this was an external attack, it could become a catalyst for the people of Channel 6 to band together.
Of course, if the God of Light kept showing themselves getting beaten, it would be effective, but I didn't think it would be dramatic enough.
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): I know what you want. I'll approach the people in a friendly way first, then slowly change their image.>
Unexpectedly, Super Pretty Girl also immediately grasped what I wanted.
'It seems the people in Channel 4 are all smart.'
Did they get smarter as scientific technology advanced?
<Survivor★(2ch): Yes. Additionally, the authority I'm granting is limited to Channel 6.>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Channel 6 limited......?>
Anyway, when I told her to use the sub-manager powers only in Channel 6, Super Pretty Girl immediately threw a fit.
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Do you dare intend to lock me in Channel 6?! I cannot be satisfied with just Channel 6 alone!>
"......."
It seemed the effect of the initial total block had worn off.
<Survivor★(2ch): Then what are you going to do by checking surveillance cameras and nicknames in other channels too?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Build my own world! Those who rebel against me will be eliminated!>
<Survivor★(2ch): In other words, you're going to harass people in other channels.>
If I unlock the sub-manager capacity increase, surveillance cameras, and nickname verification, it's almost 500,000 points.
It was quite a large sum of points for me, but the person called Super Pretty Girl only thought about harassing others with it.
<Survivor★(2ch): Everyone is living day by day struggling against the apocalypse, is it fun to harass such people?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): If not for that, then why the hell are you doing the gallery!>
<Survivor★(2ch): Just this once, try acting with the mindset of saving the world. If you don't like it, I'll look for someone else.>
If she actually answered that she didn't want to, I was planning to look for someone else.
But perhaps Super Pretty Girl didn't want to give up on running wild in Channel 6, so she accepted.
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): ......I'll just do it. Instead, I can read posts from other channels, right?>
<Survivor★(2ch): I'm only restricting the surveillance cameras and nickname verification.>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): By the way, if I carry out what you said, will you give me some kind of reward?>
Reward?
'Indeed, this is closer to a request, so a reward is necessary.'
<Survivor★(2ch): Yes. Is there anything you want?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Sub-manager position?>
'Sub-manager position?'
But Super Pretty Girl demanded the sub-manager position.
<Survivor★(2ch): You can't actually gain anything from the sub-manager position.>
Depending on how it's used, one could communicate and trade with other channels, but other than that, there was nothing.
'Or is she someone with wealth comparable to the Golden King?'
If she had the wealth of the Golden King, she might be able to gain more than I could.
'Though I doubt there's anywhere to trade except Channel 3.'
The other channels didn't have enough resources to trade anything.
Channel 5, where the witches are, might be possible, but since it's a closed group, it was highly likely to be blocked in advance.
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): That's enough.>
I thought after hearing that answer.
'I was planning to increase the sub-manager capacity by one anyway, so it's fine to give her the position.'
<Survivor★(2ch): Are you planning to harass people?>
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): You hate that, don't you. It's just boring to play only in Channel 4, so I'm trying to play in other channels too.>
If she wanted the sub-manager position simply for the purpose of chatting and playing, I welcomed it.
'The problem is that if someone appears who rubs her the wrong way while playing, she might go berserk.'
What was it? Strategic nuke drop?
'But what on earth is a strategic nuke.'
I thought for a moment, then shook my head and answered Super Pretty Girl.
<Survivor★(2ch): If you're just chatting and playing normally, that's fine. Let me know if you need anything else.>
I don't know what a strategic nuke is, but if she acts out, I can just revoke her sub-manager authority and block her myself.
'I hope she plays an active role in Channel 6 before that happens.'
Anyway, perhaps because I accepted, Super Pretty Girl returned to her original tone and chattered.
<Super Pretty Girl(4ch): Kehehe. Trolling with the manager's permission. My fingers are already trembling.>
"......."
For a moment, I wanted to turn on the surveillance camera on Super Pretty Girl to see what kind of person she was.
Of course, she was a reinforcement who decided to help me now, so I tried hard to hold back and used points to unlock the sub-manager function.
'Ah. Since I'm at it, should I promote Mr. Know-It-All to sub-manager too?'
He had been acting as a temporary manager until now, so I didn't think he would refuse.
Channel 4.
In a dark, small room, a woman was looking at the gallery and laughing silently.
[You have been designated as a Channel 4 sub-manager by the Integrated Channel Manager.]
"Kehehehe. You are foolish, Integrated Channel Manager."
Her dark blue hair, which hadn't been cut for a long time, was long enough to drag on the floor.
Furthermore, the woman, who had a gaunt body from not being able to eat meals on time, looked at the gallery with eyes glistening with madness.
"I can't openly drop a strategic nuke, but there are many ways."
Just by fanning the flames when a specific keyword appeared, the gallery would burn brightly.
Because of that, seeing people move according to her will and suffer was the only joy in her life.
"Shall I start by teasing the bitch who blocked me every 12 hours."
She was once an idol on Worldnet who received the public's love, but.
Epina Lowen, who had fallen into the abyss due to reprimands, criticism, and malicious comments caused by agitation and fabrication, and had blackened, immediately contacted Mr. Know-It-All.
<Mr. Know-It-All☆(4ch): What?>
<Super Pretty Girl☆(4ch): Do you see it? The brilliant star attached next to my name! Now you can no longer block me!>
<Mr. Know-It-All☆(4ch): I can just contact the Survivor and ask them to block you instead.>
"Hmph. Did you think I wouldn't have anticipated that?"
<Super Pretty Girl☆(4ch): That might be the case now. But if I show results, will you still be able to block me then?>
Epina had already heard everything about the Channel 6 situation from the Survivor.
In a sense, it was a job to save a world, so they would never be able to block her.
"Because they seemed like a person with that much conscience."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped Channel 6, nor would they have told her not to harass other channels.
"They asked if it was fun to harass people living day by day struggling against the apocalypse."
To be honest, she didn't care.
Her own world had already been shattered by agitation and fabrication.
All that was left was this gallery here, which appeared suddenly along with the apocalypse.
<Mr. Know-It-All☆(4ch): Then show me results. That's why I recommended you.>
<Super Pretty Girl☆(4ch): But I'm disappointed. To think you couldn't even do this much and left it to me.>
<Mr. Know-It-All☆(4ch): I'm very busy. I don't have enough time even if I had 10 bodies.>
<Super Pretty Girl☆(4ch): You must be busy since you have to register nutritional jellies one by one.>
Just as she said, Mr. Know-It-All, who lacks an inventory function, has to put in and register nutritional jellies one by one.
In addition to this, there was gallery management, magic research, and negotiations with the military, so he might be the busiest person in Channel 4.
<Mr. Know-It-All☆(4ch): Anyway, if you've decided to start, do it properly.>
[1:1 conversation has ended.]
Mr. Know-It-All ended the 1:1 conversation with that remark.
"How dare you!"
Epina was annoyed by Mr. Know-It-All's behavior of ending the 1:1 conversation before she could properly tease him, but she soon calmed down.
"Come to think of it, they said to tell them if I needed anything else."
Pull Mr. Know-It-All down?
With that thought, Epina tried to leave a post on Channel 4 saying she had returned, but.
-Just this once, try acting with the mindset of saving the world.
Suddenly, the Survivor's words came to mind.
"......."
Come to think of it, she could now write as many posts as she wanted on Channel 4.
Thinking that, Epina slowly moved her fingers and moved over to Channel 6.
'Let's first examine the atmosphere of Channel 6.'
For a long time, Epina had never done her work sloppily.
This time too, since she was doing it, she started examining the posts in Channel 6 one by one with the intention of doing it properly.
The next day.
As usual, while delivering a meal to Yoo Hyun-min in Channel 7, I heard something strange.
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): Ah. You know that guy called Heavenly Demon in Channel 1?>
<Survivor★(2ch): Of course I know him.>
There were now five people I had designated as sub-managers across the channels.
Channel 1 Heavenly Demon.
Channel 3 Ice Queen.
Channel 4 Mr. Know-It-All, Super Pretty Girl.
Channel 7 Yoo Hyun-min.
Therefore, I replied that I also knew the Heavenly Demon that Yoo Hyun-min asked about.
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): He was way too ill-mannered. He suddenly contacted me and said he'd teach me martial arts so I could survive alone or something.>
Martial arts?
<Survivor★(2ch): Isn't it good if he teaches you martial arts?>
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): This hyung is someone who doesn't need such things. Anyway, he should have at least said 'please take care of me' since he became a sub-manager late, but instead, he acted like he was doing me a favor.>
It seemed Yoo Hyun-min didn't like the Heavenly Demon from Channel 1.
'They're probably both Transcendents.'
I wondered if they didn't like each other because Transcendents have something that connects them.
Anyway, it seemed like a rift had formed between the two without me knowing, so I decided to calm them down a bit.
<Survivor★(2ch): He's quite old. I think that's probably why.>
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): Age? How old is he?>
<Survivor★(2ch): He's 65.>
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): He certainly has some age on him.>
When I told him the age, Yoo Hyun-min showed a slightly softened attitude.
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): I can't hit an old man. I was originally planning to deal with him later, but I'll let it slide.>
<Survivor★(2ch): Deal with him later?>
<WantToRegress☆*(7ch): The Meeting Shelter you mentioned. If the sub-managers gather there, I can meet him, right?>
"......."
Come to think of it, did I not tell Yoo Hyun-min about the Arena?
If he knew about the existence of the Arena, he wouldn't have mentioned the Meeting Shelter, so it seemed I hadn't told him.
<Survivor★(2ch): Yoo Hyun-min hyung. So.......>
So, when I informed Yoo Hyun-min about the existence of the Arena, I could see him getting enraged just like on the first day.
