……………………

About five hours after I started watching multiple videos simultaneously.

It was the first hour or so that I was asking a few questions, Nana, but the last few hours I have turned my gaze toward the monitor while maintaining focus without making it slight at all and without saying a word.

Although I get anxious from time to time because I don't even hear the sound of exhalation, it doesn't mean I'm falling asleep because I can see my eyeballs moving busily from the front.

I was simply so focused that I didn't make it microscopic.

When I want to process the information on the 30 monitors in front of me, the way I approach it changes with Nana and me.

Simply put, I divide my thoughts and Nana accelerates them.

Although it's only an image, I put each of my thirty "Rinna" in my brain in charge of a screen to process the information and sound of the screen.

And by assigning this normal thinking role to the 31st self, I can still afford to worry about Nana while picking up all the information on the monitor.

The way Nana does it is more forceful, processing vast amounts of information at high speeds by purely accelerating the speed of thought abnormally.

Instead of processing 30 pieces of information at the same time like I do, I'm forcefully pulling out the same processing power by processing information 30 times faster than I do.

This is a unique way for Nana to accelerate the speed of her thinking at a level where time stops and she can see if she's serious.

... or if other than Nana did that, her brain would be overloaded and scrapped. That's what this kid's doing, all the impotence he's left to his stubbornness.

(Sounds like the limit, though)

The way Nana looks at the footage is a quiet thing, but unfortunately there's only one sound that hasn't been suppressed.

My stomach is ringing just now.

Well, if you use such an unscrupulous head, you decide to consume the energy accordingly.

Besides, I only had a bottle of French bread and about a soup this morning. I still have lunch on top, so I should be extra hungry.

"Nana."

"............ hmm?

"Let's get some rest and have dinner. You're hungry, aren't you?

"Hmm?... Really, I'm hungry!

You didn't notice when you were concentrating, you're saying that while stroking your stomach.

Nana, who has several times the basic metabolism of a person, is basically very fuel-efficient. Whether you exercise or use your head like this, you simply use a few times more energy than people do.

"What do you want?

"Rice!

"Then let's make it a bowl. How many?

"Twenty or so at Extra Festival."

"You eat enough."

Twenty bowls in extra rice. Looking at just the calories, it looks like it could be about 20,000 kilocalories.

If it's even 20,000 kilocalories, the boulder nana should also surpass the basal metabolism, and it probably can't be offset, including the calories I just used. So this would be a sign of willingness to eat up.

Nana is a body that can store excess energy in a way that is not fat in her body, so so-called eating up won't be reflected in her weight. That's why this kid won't eat anything, but he can live for a month or two.

Nevertheless, that's not why Nana stores it from time to time either. Because there are limits to the amount of energy that can be stored.

Nana simply likes to eat in the first place, so she tries to ensure the necessary nutrition in due course.

In other words, for Nana, eating up is not such a favorite act in itself.

Still, there must be some reason why we're eating up.

"Kind of... I want calories to force me to pack because I remember too much. Can I cage in here all day today?

"I don't mind that... you're quite motivated. I thought Nana didn't really like the tournament itself."

Honestly, surprise. That was what I meant.

Because the games themselves are something that for Nana has no elements to look forward to.

In the first place, the purpose of gamers entering the Games is narrowed down to three things.

"Gold" in the sense of winnings, prizes from sponsors and, in some cases, getting an image illustration of the team written.

"Honor" in the name of tournament winner, semi-finalist, or track record of just appearing in a WGCS class tournament.

Practice and make memories with good friends and simply "interact" with people who enjoy the same game together.

And these three elements are of low value to Nana.

It goes without saying now that Nana has no appetite. Apart from the minimal money to live, Nana doesn't need "money".

Even with regard to "honor," Nana is not interested in evaluating it from strangers because the direction of her desire for approval is extremely distorted.

Nana only has a desire for approval that says, "I'm glad Lynn complimented you." And I'm not depressed because I didn't praise you.

It's just a pale reaction despite listeners saying "wow" from time to time, because it's not something I'm doing because I want to be complimented.

And the same goes for "AC". Nana is not the type to go and expand her interactions in the first place.

The extraneous and high ability that Nana has attracts people.

like Ruruya Arthur, or NPC and others, there are many people who look at Nana, and that's how interaction spreads in WLO.

Or as far as seeing you get along with Saku in real life, it would have been that you had a good friendship there with the people you work for.

Nana basically doesn't reject her opponent unless she treats him openly and maliciously. And I'm comfortable with them because I positively accept their hobby preferences.

But Nana never broadens the range of her friends "from herself".

Nana never goes to see strangers from herself unless she thinks she needs to go on a quest or use them to see people.

Nana is always passive when expanding her friendship.

The reason is simple, because I'm not interested in strangers.

Think about it, including around here, because it's only my "favor" for Nana to be in this tournament.

I've always thought that motivation was something less than a free-living WLO that could test my limits... maybe something touched Nana's harp line.

"Um, about three hours ago. There's only one video I'm interested in."

"Videos you care about?

"Yeah. Maybe an overseas player. I didn't have any particular facts or commentary, it was just a play video."

From Nana's remarks, I hand over the thread of my own memory.

It took me a little while to remember because I was looking a little distracted.

"That's the video that was playing on that screen, right?

"Oh, yeah, yeah. You remember very well."

"Unedited videos are also rare nowadays. So, what's wrong with that?

That video Nana laid eyes on was certainly impressive in content that went backwards to the era of no editing now, but for better or worse, there seemed to be no other part to keep an eye on.

Behind my thoughts like that, Nana is shaking her body looking in a good mood.

What motivated this child so much?

"At first glance. Okay. You're my player, probably my kind."

Nana said that to me tilting her neck, looking just a little happy.
