Another World Returner’s Game Streaming

65 – Streamer League Preparation (2)

In the past, with the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence, which is infinitely similar to humans, was developed and various social discussions arose.

Does artificial intelligence, which is infinitely similar to humans, deserve equal rights as humans?

If one is entitled to such rights, is the person who becomes the owner of artificial intelligence entitled to exercise those rights?

In fact, if you dig into these problems properly, there is really no end to them, so no one wants to touch them hastily.

But now, the management of TP, the largest personal broadcasting platform in Korea, has found themselves in a position where they have to discuss the issue.

That was the reason why the management team, who were so busy preparing for the upcoming ‘Trip Ship Thousand League’, took the time to gather in one place.

“Wow, this is just absurd. Who would have thought that an NPC that appears in the game would be registered as a teammate even though he or she is a streamer… “

It is none other than Eugene registering Nightfall’s NPC Yuria under the ridiculous name ‘BJ Yuria’ in this streamer league!

In addition, perhaps because he was planning to create his own alibi, he created an account under Yuria’s name on Mutube and uploaded an absurd video titled ‘Yuria’s Cute Mad Movie’.

This outrageous act, which an ordinary person would never do, turned people upside down and ended up becoming a huge issue in the Internet space.

“Questions are pouring in from users. Is it really possible for NPCs from other games to participate as streamers?”

“Over 100,000 posts are searched under the name BJ Yuria. “The rankings of popular posts on various community sites are filled with posts related to this incident.”

“There are several newspapers that have posted articles related to this incident. I think there will be an article published by a major newspaper soon.”

“The broadcasting station has received a request for an interview regarding this incident. “They said they would like to organize a special program on the copyright of artificial intelligence.”

“…”

Really, my head is pounding.

Due to the nature of the site as a personal broadcasting platform, it is always welcome to be the subject of interest from the public… Still, receiving this kind of attention is something I really didn’t want.

“So… Manager. What should we do? As requested by a streamer called Soma, should an NPC in the game called Yuria be granted streamer status and allowed to participate in the league?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to refuse. If this is allowed, there will be some kind of noise among the participants.”

Naturally, the management would never allow Eugene to use expedient methods like this.

Because if Yuria is recognized as a real streamer in this way, it is clear that many things will happen in the future that will make her feel sick just thinking about it.

But.

“Yesterday, the number of visitors to our site exceeded five times the usual number. We also achieved the top search term rankings on each site.”

“Due to this incident, the number of people who want to participate in this streamer league has increased significantly. Even among professional gamers, there were people who wanted to participate in the league.”

“There are already seven companies asking if they can run advertisements in the streamer league. The proposed advertising fee is also a considerable amount.”

The team leader, who was quietly listening to reports coming from all over, smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

“Just… Will you allow it just this time? Now that I think about it, it seems like a fun and fresh idea for NPCs to participate in competitions as streamers… “

“…”

The team leader spoke in a firm tone, trying to ignore the puzzled looks that were looking at him from all directions.

It seemed like there was too much money at stake to just reject Eugene’s offer.

****

“Now, look at the camera and tell me your age and name.”

“Ooh, ooh… ” Well, that… “

“Relax and smile. So, what is your name?”

“Y-Yuri… “

“Then how old are you? Oh, you said it hasn’t even been a few years since you made it? I forgot. Sorry sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Oh, no… “

“But why did you look like that from earlier? Since I was making that expression earlier, it makes me seem like a bad person, right? I told you to smile. A wide, bright smile-“

But fortunately, there was no need for Yuria to smile even wider than now.

Bang!

That’s because Eugene, who couldn’t see her turn away, grabbed Yuria and punched Winter, who was asking her a strange question.

“Please just say the first verse, okay? “Why are you asking Yuria such a strange question while filming an introduction video?”

Despite Eugene’s scolding, Winter responds with no sign of reflection.

“No, don’t you know that these days these are all types of individuality? People won’t notice if you just film a normal video. “We have to have a unique concept in order for people to be interested, which ultimately leads to our number of views.”

So, the concept of Yuria’s introduction video was set to a suspicious video tape that was suddenly delivered to the house one day?

When Winter said that with her eyes shining with some kind of madness, Yuria, freed from her grasp her her, rushed into Eugene’s arms her her her her.

Although he didn’t express it outwardly, he seemed to have been dissatisfied with Winter asking him such questions from earlier.

As proof, Yuria opened her mouth to Eugene, pouting her own lips.

“… Even though she is the master’s younger sister, she does not want to cooperate with something like this. I guess that’s a bit… It’s uncomfortable.”

“… Okay, sorry. “I will reflect.”

No matter how many views it received, Eugene was reluctant to let Yuria film a video with such a suspicious concept.

For Eugene, Yuria was not simply his summon or familiar, but she was like a colleague or comrade in arms who crossed the line of fire together.

That’s why, in this streamer league, he rejected all kinds of offers from strangers and decided to join the same team as Yuria.

In particular, in recent years, Yuria’s intelligence and judgment have gone beyond the level of simple artificial intelligence and have even developed into something reminiscent of a human.

“…Hmm. That’s right. As expected, even if the master doesn’t show it on the outside, it’s clear that he actually thinks a lot of me-“

Around this time, Yuria was muttering in a very satisfied tone while being held in Eugene’s arms.

“As expected, you and Yuria always seem to get along very well. It’s really nice to see.”

Before he knew it, Sia was next to him, looking at him with something interesting in her eyes.

Not only that, but I called her from her her her her dimension her to give her some lessons to prepare her for the streamer competition.

“Oh, are you here? You came a little earlier than expected.”

“The teacher said he was going to teach me something, but I shouldn’t come later than the scheduled time.”

It was the time when Eugene nodded at Sia’s words, saying that she was truly unique as her student.

[Meow.]

Above Sia’s her head her her her, a cute cat with fluffy fur reminiscent of cotton candy meows as if it is bored

Seeing the cat constantly writhing and yawning above Sia’s head, Winter’s eyes begin to sparkle.

“So cute!”

Seeing that he was making the same facial expression as when he was playing with Yuria just now, it looks like he has already fallen in love with that cat.

“… What is that?”

“Huh? Have I not told you yet? That’s a spirit I summoned with my unique skill.”

“… Spirit?”

At Sia’s answer to her, Eugene blinked her own eyes.

For some reason, instead of having a clear entity like Yuria, it seemed to be translucent for some reason. I guess it was a spirit.

In this world, Eugene and her companion her her her, the elf, were women skilled in handling spirits, so the existence of spirits no longer felt strange.

However, I just found it interesting that spirits exist in the game Thousands.

“What kind of unique skill do you have that allows you to summon spirits? I heard that the number of people with unique skills related to spirits is very small.”

“Well, actually, I don’t know. I think it’s a bit unexpected that my unique skill has the function of summoning spirits…”

That was when Sia shrugged her shoulders and was giving her explanation to Eugene.

[Meow.]

Eugene inadvertently lowered his gaze to her feet and realized that her cat was pulling on the hem of his pants.

“… Why is he doing this?”

“…I don’t know. Maybe you like the teacher? If it bothers you, should I just reverse summon it?”

“It’s okay. I think it looks cute, so just leave it alone.”

When Eugene answered, recalling the spirits that the elves had dealt with in this world, Yuria, who was in his arms her, suddenly frowned.

“…Even cold water has ups and downs, and you are truly a cocky spirit. Only I have the right to climb on top of you…”

After muttering that, Yuria suddenly escapes from Eugene’s arms and climbs on top of his head.

“… What are you doing there now?”

Yuria, who did not answer Eugene’s question, glanced at him and secretly touched his mouth hers.

“… Hey, meow… “
