LRAB Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Top 20 lines you've always wanted to say.
“Please speak through my manager.”
“It seems like Chel was really moved by Bluereco.”
The performance of my "translator" (also serving as my manager) was excellent.
With Rion around, I might not even need a smartphone.
“So, it seems Chel wants to share the emotional impact of Bluereco with everyone.”
“It sounds like some kind of religious mission.”
“I won’t deny that.”
Chel replied. I kind of wished she would deny it.
“It's a 'god-tier' game, after all. So, in a way, it’s like a religion.”
Her logic was so far-fetched, I felt like it might just fly away.
“So, you want to share the fun of Bluereco with me too?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You do realize there are a lot of people in this world besides me, don’t you?”
“I don’t know where they live.”
Apparently, the concept of "online" didn’t exist in Chel’s vocabulary.
If she was so eager to promote Bluereco, she could have just posted something in the EYEAI server. But instead, she was personally running around to share the word. It made me wonder if Chel had been possessed by a medieval merchant, just like how I had been possessed by a noblewoman.
“It’s fun. You should try it.”
Chel insisted again.
A mobile gacha game, huh?
‘It’s not the most satisfying gameplay experience.’
Every game has its own unique appeal.
FPS games offer the thrill of shooting down enemies, MOBA games are fun because of the satisfaction of winning lane battles and team fights, and sandbox games are enjoyable for building automated factories, step by step. Each game provides its own form of entertainment.
As for mobile games, the fun generally comes from ‘the satisfaction of turning the impossible into the possible.’
For example, finally clearing a tough stage by changing up your team composition. Or defeating a boss you couldn’t before. Or drastically reducing the time it takes to complete a previously unbeatable stage. Or narrowly surviving a tricky gimmick by sheer effort.
That’s the kind of satisfaction mobile games offer.
‘And the way to overcome those "impossible" obstacles usually involves spending money.’
Some mobile games can be cleared through skill or character progression, but usually, spending money is the main path to victory. After all, mobile game companies release these games to make money.
Because of this, mobile games tend to have less emphasis on skill, which makes their appeal different from the games I usually enjoy.
“How about giving it a try, sis?”
Rion, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke up.
“If Chel went out of her way to come here, it must be really fun. Honestly, I’m a bit curious about the story too.”
“You’re curious?”
“Yeah. Bluereco is pretty famous, but I don’t know much about it.”
Rion shrugged her shoulders.
“Also, from what I’ve heard, Bluereco streams tend to get a lot of viewers. There are people who specifically look for streams about the Bluereco story.”
For example, some people search for even the smallest VTuber streams when it comes to horror games. That’s why horror games are considered a good source of views.
When people enjoy a movie or a drama, they often want to share their thoughts or see how others reacted. If another person’s reaction matches their own expectations, they get a certain thrill from it.
That’s why people browse community forums. And for some, even that isn’t enough, so they turn to streamers. Streamers provide real-time reactions, giving their viewers the rawest experience possible.
This kind of content is especially ideal for horror or story-driven games.
“I’m not a big fan of gacha games, though.”
“Really? Sis, you love spending money.”
“Maintaining dignity as a noblewoman requires that, don’t you think? I just don’t enjoy testing my luck, that’s all.”
“...? Are you unlucky or something?”
Rion tilted her head.
“Overall, I suppose I have slightly good luck.”
When I’m unlucky, I’m really unlucky. When I’m lucky, I’m really lucky. And when I’m average, I’m just average.
“Bluereco lets you reroll your pulls up to 10 times.”
With the prologue over, it was time for the gacha part.
Chel, the gacha demon, began explaining the process.
“You can reroll the results up to 10 times to get the best outcome. You’re guaranteed at least one 5-star character.”
“Are there any must-have 5-star characters?”
“There are good characters, but none you absolutely need from rerolling. Limited characters are more important later.”
“So, it’s just nice if you get several 5-star characters. Rion, you handle the gacha.”
“But it’s your account... Shouldn’t you be the one pulling?”
Rion, who had been managing the stream so far, gave me a puzzled look.
“I don’t find it very fun when I pull the gacha.”
“...? What does that even mean?”
“Watch.”
I pressed the gacha button.

□□□□□ □□□□■ 【Remaining reloads: 6/10】 -No 4-star characters yet, lol. -I swear I just saw this screen a minute ago. -Her luck sucks, haha!
“Didn’t you say you had good luck earlier, sis?”
“I never said that.”
I remained indifferent.
After all, I’m a villainess.
If you asked most people, “Do you think villainesses are lucky characters?” they’d probably tilt their heads in confusion. Some might even say villainesses are unlucky.
Personally, I’d say I have average luck, maybe slightly on the unlucky side.
But as a villainess, I’m supposed to tenaciously torment the protagonist. That means even when I hit rock bottom, I often make a comeback.
So, I’ve always had a knack for bad luck followed by miraculous rebounds.
“Wait, what?!”
Rion gasped in shock
□■■□□ □□■□■ 【Remaining reloads: 0/10】 -? -????? -Is this gacha rigged or something? -What the heck?
Four 5-star characters from a single 10-pull.
Seeing the predicted result, I wasn’t particularly excited.
I sighed slightly and reached for my phone to call Inagika.
[H-Hello? L-Laura...? What’s up...?]
Had she been sleeping all this time? Inagika’s voice was drowsy, and it was already 3 p.m.
I switched my phone to speaker mode so the viewers could hear her as well.
“Inagika, repeat after me.”
[Huh? Wh-what?]
“Say, ‘That’s some insane luck!’”
[Uh... That’s some insane luck...?]
“Thank you.”

-Click.
I hung up.
“Rion, take over the rest of the stream.”
