A tour of the Elysia Garden, which began that day.
The first thing I did was, of course, the inside view of the garden.
Even if the Princess Luroa was not interested in flowers, the Elysia Garden was a place to impress anyone.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, the sight of spirits playing around in all directions, which makes them feel like they are cute, is itself a ecstasy.
'...what is it?
However, no matter how uninterested a person may be, the reaction of the Queen Luroa was excessive.
a unique expression that remains unchanged from the moment we first met
It was the same after seeing this beautiful flower garden.
She said the atmosphere was like NPC in the classic game, but now I see it was much worse than that.
I feel like I don't have any feelings.’
"That's cool."
"Beautiful."
"Cute."
Such a dreary review is all.
It hurt my pride a little when I saw the garden, which everyone admired.
'But it won't be at night. The beauty of the Elysia is many times greater when the sun goes down.’
Real beauty is the Elysia garden that is revealed at night.
In particular, it was believed that the scenery, which was incomparably beautiful in comparison to the Milky Way garden, which was also famous in the Empire, would create cracks in the expressionless face of the Luroa empress.
But that expectation was horribly crushed.
"Yes, sir."
How could such a mechanical reaction be possible?
"It's much better than the Milky Way Gardens of the Empire."
“?!!”
Jae-ho's miserable feelings seemed to get a little better at the following words.
It was the longest review ever.
The Golden Gardens, the Devil's Species, the Steampunk Lizard City...….
Nothing drew any more reaction.
It's a bug! It's an artificial intelligence bug!’
Jae-ho is completely tired of it.
I thought that Lu Roa's setting itself was a character with no emotions.
Otherwise, it couldn't have been like this.
'I don't know how to build a good feeling about this!’
A chaotic situation in which one cannot tell whether one is doing it right or not.
And finally, it became the long-awaited 'the day'.

[Crocodile Family Holds First New World Concert!]
The concert day of the crocodile family, which was talkative and demoralized, is finally here.
Giant did his best to restore the burned-out stage.
However, the barrier to prevent sandstorms has not been restored.
"Please... I hope nothing happens...….”
Gianth looking at the distant sky.
His eyes contained a sandstorm approaching from afar.
Meanwhile, the floor below the stage was full of fans.
Because it was a busy concert and the nature of short-term events was strong, we couldn't make a proper audience.
Most of them had to stand on bare ground, and because of the temporary stair structure on the outskirts, they could be seen from afar.
If today's concert gets a pretty good response, Mineral Water has planned to push for a regular event.
If so, Jae-ho also planned to start building a concert hall in earnest.
It's a waste of time if you can't spend a lot of money. You can't sleep.….
Anyway, whether it was a temporary or an event, it was going to be recorded as the first idol concert hall in New World.
However, there was one difference from the actual concert.
That's what all kinds of video filming were allowed.
The decision was made to make it clear that the performance was one of the ways the crocodile family enjoyed the game.
Thanks to this, not only the actual audience but also the fans who couldn't get the tickets were very enthusiastic.
Reporters were also in a frenzy, but their interest was a little different from ordinary fans.
"I'm sure something's going to happen today...….”
"Someone's been attacking me before, but isn't it because it's the day of the show?”
He seems to want a major accident to happen.
If that happens in reality, many people may die or get hurt, but this is a virtual reality.
It was a place where there was no problem even if it died, and where the rules of reality did not work.
Reporters therefore had more explicit and provocative expectations.
If the world's best idol is attacked by someone on the stage, it won't be as fun as it is...….
So the time passed, and finally it was time for the performance.
Magical lighting devices prepared for the stage shone, and the opening began with live performances by classes who were selling in-game sound sources(?) in Elysia Garden.
* * *
Jae-ho, who arrived at the concert hall just before the start with Luroa's princess.
It was unlikely that the robot NPC, which had no emotion at all, would show any different reactions just because it saw the stage of the world's best idol.
'No, I don't know if this is right in the first place.’
With all his confidence gone, Jae-ho guided her to the highest seats.
'Hmm?
But when Luroa's empress, who got off the wagon, shook her head at the guards, one driver followed her.
This is the first time she has shown a different behavior without the escort of drivers.
"Maybe... there will be some trouble."
"Yes?"
Jae-ho was stunned by her abrupt remark of significance.
I couldn't let that slip when I said that with an expressionless face.
Moreover, I felt like something was going to happen because I was accompanied by a driver who had been left alone until now.
I'm already on edge.….’
The sandstorms that seemed to be approaching from afar, as well as the arson that took place during the construction of the concert hall, had tightened security around the desert.
"...would you like to go back if you were anxious?"
"No, I'm actually curious about some amazing plays you'll see here."
“??”
Jae-ho was surprised again here.
He didn't tell you what he was doing here.’
Of course, it was possible to guess that this was a concert hall through the structure.
However, a certain part of the play was significant.
Obviously, in the eyes of NPCs in the New World world, idol performances must have been something new.
Did you know something? You can't say....'
an intuition conjecture
Are you looking at the future?’
Once such doubts began to occur, many thoughts came to mind.
She went into the villa alone, leaving all the knights outside, or not accompanied by the knights throughout the tour, at the first meeting where there was no trust in each other.
What if it was actually because he knew he would be safe?
This is a little... scary.’
If so, it was clear that one escort was suddenly accompanied.
"Wait a moment..."
Jae-ho, who asked for an excuse from the Lu Roa Imperial Lady upon arriving at her seat, whispered straight away.
"Mr. Rab."
Yes, ID Alsia. Please do say.
A crocodile group currently patrolling the area around the concert hall.
They all gave up ticketing so that the crocodile family's first New World performance could be successfully completed.
Armed with that great spirit of sacrifice, Jae-ho warned them of danger.
"Something's going to happen."
Pardon?
"Someone's targeting this place."
What?! What?! Is that true?
There was no way to explain how he came to know.
And I didn't have to explain it to the crocodile.….
What kind of guys are they?
"I'm not sure about that. But I think you'd better be nervous."
All right! I won't let a rat pass!
Jae-ho came back after whispering to Rob.
But soon he turned pale.
"Uh... Why...? "
Before I knew it, there was a line of one more person behind the Lu Roa princess, with two knights standing.
"You must be getting started."
Still expressionless-faced Lu Roa Huang-nyeo focused on the stage, lifting up her luxurious binoculars.
It was peaceful at the very sight of that attitude, but... Jae-ho couldn't.
Since the number of one to two guards seemed to indicate a danger alert rating...….
* * *
It was also Jae-ho's first time to see an idol concert in person.
Of course, I've never seen it on video.
We didn't really have a chance to find the concert video in the first place unless it was our fans.
Nevertheless, I was able to find myself completely immersed.
'Wow...... that's cool.'
It's true that we're not prepared in many ways compared to real concerts, such as sound and physical limitations.
Furthermore, some of the original plans for production were impossible due to the fire at the concert hall.
But five members of the crocodile family were left to fill all the gaps.
The amazing stage grip caught people's eyes and made the stage look full...….
Jaeho is feeling what stage grip is.
He even forgot his worries in a moment.
"That's unique music."
"...Yes?"
It reminded Jae-ho of the enchanting beauty of Luroa.
She was concentrating with binoculars in her eyes, which seemed quite focused.
"Maybe it's the music of the world of Immotalians like the Great King. Given that so many of the people here are Immotalians."
"That's right."
The audience was 100 percent of the players except for the Lu Roa princess.
NPCs wouldn't have to pay a lot of money to come and watch the crocodile family perform.
"Who are they?”
“?!”
For the first time since coming to the Elysia Garden, she brought up the question first.
"It's a crocodile family."
"Crocodile family?"
a name that sounds strange to her
"That's the group name of those five. As you can see, they specialize in singing and dancing.”
"The song is a bit difficult, but it's definitely a great skill."
It's a kind of music that I've never heard before, so it's natural.
"But what's the stick that the spectators shake? They all look the same."
What I'm curious about this time is the crocodile family cheering stick.
"It's a stick that supports that group.....? It's kind of a symbol."
It was harder than I thought to explain in a way that people around the world could understand.
As I spoke, I would ask myself, 'Is this right?'
"So it's symbolic that everyone has the same green color."
Fortunately, she understood well.
But that was the end of the question.
Silently and silent, the Luroa empress continued to watch the stage.
The binoculars were still fixed to the eyes, but they were covered with expressionless faces and eyes, and they could not even grasp that the opponent was "unsympathetic."
'What a strange atmosphere.
Out of all the unique characters I've seen while playing games, I've been unrivaled.
'But it's the first time I've had a different reaction.’
Although she has lived as an imperial family and seen many different performances, it must be her first idol performance.
It's natural to be unfamiliar and curious.
'Then aren't you looking at the future?'
If we could see the future, we wouldn't have asked such a question to Jae-ho, of course.
You already know the answer.
But is it possible to see the future for players?’
The NPC did not know where the players were going.
No matter how high-performance artificial intelligence is, it was impossible to predict each and every such thing.
What the hell is it? I think it's got some sort of hidden power...….’
There must have been a secret to the luroa princess.
For some reason, I had a strong feeling that it might be the clue to this quest.
Xu
Then her gaze, which suddenly lowered her binoculars, turned beyond the stage.
with a flick of one's heel
Anxious Jae-ho also jerked his head away, and a sandstorm that came close to him came into sight.
"He's coming."
The words of the Luroa princess muttering to herself sounded like thunder to Jae-ho's ears.
Boom!!
At the same time, an explosion occurred among the audience gathered on the ground.
