Yuri Empire

Chapter 125

Northeast of the city of Ulysses.

Sayuri and the others arrived at the Labyrinth of Beginner I, which is open to the lowest level explorers, and passed the time by chatting a bit in front of the Labyrinth.

Weve already gotten permission from Lydina and Arcana for the [Broadcast]. So all we had to do was wait for the time to start the daily [Broadcast].

As I was killing time in front of the Labyrinth, I could see a lot of explorers coming back from inside the entrance gate.

Its not that no people are going inside. However, there seemed to be an overwhelming number of people coming out of it.

Sayuri was wondering what was going on here.

Everyone wants to see Sayuris broadcast, right?

Yes, yes. She nodded my head repeatedly.

Arcana said to her as if it were a matter of course.

Oh, really?

If you didnt, they wouldnt have come back from the Labyrinth, would you?

As a general rule, the [Broadcast] that Yuri makes every night cannot be viewed while in the Labyrinth unless it is of great importance.

This is because the sudden appearance of the broadcast screen blocking the view of explorers in battle would undoubtedly cause inconvenience. Therefore, Yuri intentionally set it up so that those in exploration would not be the target of the broadcast.

Similarly, the broadcast is not projected on the view of people driving carriages in the city, for the same reason.

If you want to see the [Broadcast], you have to leave the Labyrinth.

So if thats why the explorers are coming back it makes sense.

In the current Yuri Empire, pocket watches have already succeeded in becoming commonplace, and many explorers carry them with them. This is because it is impossible to check the position of the sun in the Labyrinth, and if you dont have a watch with you, you lose all sense of time.

So, before 8:00 p.m. in the evening, when Yuri is making her nightly [Broadcast]. It was not hard to understand why they all came back as if they were on the same page.

I dont think my [Broadcast] are that interesting to watch

Rubetta and Ados had urged her to continue, so Yuri had no choice but to [Broadcast] every night without fail. Honestly, she didnt think the images she was showing were that interesting.

However, Sayuris idea was easily denied by Lydina.

The content of Yuris [Broadcast] may seem boring to modern viewers who are used to watching a world full of TV programs produced by many professionals. All of the images are unedited, so they may look boring and lacking in sharpness.

There are probably a lot of people out there who look forward to what Yuri is [Broadcast] every night, deep down, you know?

Eh? Its a bit awkward for them to look forward to it too much.

Hmm. Its a good thing that faith can be gathered efficiently.

WellSayuri, isnt it about time for us to start?

Oh, yes. Thank you, Lydina.

The clock is currently showing 19:55.

Yuris broadcast is supposed to start at 8:00 p.m. every night, but shes not trying to be strict with the time. Its not uncommon for the broadcast to start a few minutes earlier or later than usual.

Good day to you, subjects of the Yuri Empire, as well as subjects of the Holy Land of Nimun and the Principality of Selsia. My name is Yuri, and I am the Empress of the Yuri Empire.

A little earlier than the scheduled time, Sayuri began her [Broadcast].

At the same time, the surroundings instantly became noisy.

Well, I guess its understandable.

It was obvious to any explorer that the door in the background of Sayuris reflection belonged to the Labyrinth of Beginner I.

The people around would inevitably be in an uproar if they knew that a [Broadcast] is taking place right where they are.

Sayuri is sure that many Japanese people are living in the modern world who would instantly become noisy if they knew that a live TV broadcast was taking place near where they are now.

Well, as many of you may have already noticed. Today we are broadcasting from the Labyrinth of Beginner I, located northeast of the city of Ulysses. There is, of course, only one reason for broadcasting from such a place, isnt there? Its so that you, the viewers, can see how we are going to challenge the Labyrinth.

However, Im quite good at what I do, and I also have no small amount of power as a god. Well, its not only me but the two people right next to me as well.

In response to Sayuris words, Lydina and Arcana, standing next to each other, waving their hands to the audience.

It is common knowledge for people in this world to know who these two girls are, as they look the same as the statues of gods that are always placed in cathedrals and other temple facilities.

We are anAvatar, a separate body of ourselvesa spare body, you might say. We can create any number of them.

Well, I just learned how to do it today So I tried to create this small body of me.

Fufu, please call her Sayuri-chan.

The name of the myAvataris decided by Lydina.

When Sayuri shrugged her shoulders in annoyance, there was a small laugh from the people around her.

Before she knew it, a crowd of onlookers seemed to have gathered and formed a wall around Well, Im used to it, as its quite common when broadcasting outside.

I am level 1 in this body. By the way, my Vocation isTinkerer, and my class is <Cook>, both of which are production jobs.

Unlike those who have obtained a combat class, those who have a production class can hardly obtain skills that will give them an advantage in fighting demons. ButI wanted to let you know that even such a person can do well enough in the low-level Labyrinth. Today, I would like to challenge the Labyrinth of Beginner I with this body of mine.

The two of us, Arcana and I, are also Level 1, just like Sayuri. But we do have combat jobs. By the way, I have a vocationHeavy Warriorand a class

.

I get aHuntervocation and <Sorcerer> class.

It wasnt like we had a specific meeting. Following Sayuri, Lydina and Arcana also revealed their vocation and class.

They often appear with Yuri when we [Broadcast] our food stall tours. The girls are already used to being broadcast, which is very encouraging.

Ill be the rear guard, attacking with arrows and magic, while Lydina and Sayuri Sister will be the vanguard!

Hey, Arcana. Its a bit strange that you call me sister when Im much smaller than you now, isnt it?

What? But youre my sister.

Eh? You can call me Sayuri or Sayuri-chan if you want.

S-Sister! Youre my sister!

To tell the truth, Sayuri wanted to be called by -chan once. Unfortunately, Arcana seemed to be stubbornly refusing to call me that, even though I urged her to do so in a broadcast-like manner.

Well, if it doesnt work, it cant be helped. Im also happy to be called Sister.

For now, Im going to broadcast the three of us level 1s taking on the labyrinth today. Of course since its level 1, Lydina and I wont be able to fight very well, and Arcana probably wont be able to use much magic yet either.

I dont know if its interesting to watch or not, to be honest. If you have a lot of free time on your hands, it might be a good idea to watch it with a drink in your hand.

I hope its a good way for people who havent tried the Labyrinth to get a feel for it.

Thats right. I think Lydina is right about that.

Well, lets get going! Sayuri sister!

Prompted by Arcanas voice, Sayuri and the others moved to the entrance side of the Labyrinth.

They received cheers of support from the onlookers gathered around them. Sayuri and the others pushed open the gate on the ground and entered the Labyrinth.
