Chapter 51: Administration Chat # 1
This is a room in the company that operates Elysion Online. In the room was Koyanagi-san, the person who gave Seigo Elysion Online. There, he was receiving regular reports from several people.
"The number of players is quite large, but I think it will be difficult to grow from here in Japan alone"
"That's true. How's the translation software?"
"There is no problem"
With the recent development of VR games, translation software has already become a complete system. Naturally, Elysion Online is equipped with such a system, allowing foreigners living in Japan to play the game without any problems.
"That's great. I'm glad to hear that. Japan was one of the first countries to regulate games, but other countries haven't yet, so there are still some problems"
"It's true that the difference in playing time is inevitable"
"I'm going to discuss this matter with the president and the department heads"
Since this issue was related to the management of the entire game, Koyanagi-san decided to put it on hold for now.
"Next, let's talk about the event"
"Is it finished?"
“Yes. We will be able to announce it during the Golden Week as planned. Please check it later"
"Okay. I want to play the game, too. I'll enjoy it later"
They have an account for testing purposes. Those who make games are also gamers. Of course, they are not allowed to use this to interfere with other players.
"Next, let's talk about artificial intelligence"
"Is it working?"
"Yes. It's growing faster than we expected"
"I suppose the fact that the subspecies appeared on the first day has had an effect"
Everyone laughed bitterly at the words.
"The player in question was involved in the development of this game, wasn't he?"
"That's right. Yes, he was one of my students at the time. I gave him the first edition"
There is a certain suspicion.
"You didn't set up some kind of illegal tool, did you?"
"No, I didn't. I'm also surprised. And if I do that, you guys will know? I've actually found a number of people and suspended their accounts"
"That's true, though. When you explain it to me, it makes me suspect fraud"
"Surely it's miraculous odds to get a Dragonewt on the first and second day, isn't it?"
Then the person in charge of the summoned beasts added.
"Ah, not so much for the second one. He used a quartz stone and four water-based stones to summon, so I'm rather convinced"
In fact, if you use water-based stones first, you can summon all the rest with ordinary magic stones. Takuto summoned it using four. If this is the case, it wouldn't be strange to pull a water dragonewt.
"I'm not sure if he wanted a water dragonewt that badly"
“I don't know about that. Maybe he didn't know what he was doing and just misunderstood and summoned it"
"If the result is a water dragonewt, that's quite a coincidence. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, because it's amazing that you can collect water-based stones so consistently"
Desnia was a much stronger monster than the first monsters. In any case, normal players rarely take swimming skills, so if you fall into the torrent, you are unlikely to survive. Takuto who knocked it down was extraordinary.
When Koyanagi-san said that, the last person stood up. He was in charge of artificial intelligence.
"The artificial intelligence of NPCs, summoned beasts and monsters is all normal. In fact, they're growing faster"
"Is it because they interacted with people?"
"I think so. However, this has its advantages and disadvantages. I think it's right to interact with more people in order to understand them better. However, there is something wrong with humans. It's not enough to be an error now, but I will continue to monitor it"
"All right. Thank you. Do you have any other opinions?"
One of them raises his hand.
"What about monitoring the bulletin board? I feel that the summoner I mentioned earlier stands out"
"That's right. I'm sure there will be more and more sub-races coming out, but just keep an eye on them. If there are any violations of the rules, we'll suspend the account"
"I understand. I'll keep an eye on it"
"Is there anything else? I don't think so. Well then, let's end the meeting for today. I'm sure we'll be even busier than we are now since the regular version goes on sale tomorrow, but I'll be counting on you"
Everyone replied and the meeting was over. Then the person in charge of the summoned beasts and the person in charge of the artificial intelligence came to see Koyanagi-san.
"Just for the record, I'd like to make an additional report. The artificial intelligence of the summoned beasts of the summoner I mentioned earlier seems to grow faster than other artificial intelligence"
"Originally, summoned beasts are the artificial intelligence that interacts with the player the most. In addition, the subspecies is a high performance artificial intelligence that can even speak. They can communicate with the player, so that's probably the reason"
"I don't think that's the only reason, right?"
Koyanagi-san knows Seigo. In his short time as a part-timer, Seigo learned to debug and worked like a pro. Normally, this would be quite difficult. Koyanagi-san thought it was Seigo's high communication skills that made it possible.
He was able to make friends with people who worked at the same job as he did, people in the company and asked them about the parts of the job he didn't understand and learned more and more about the job in a short time.
Koyanagi-san looked out the window and thought to himself, 「I've invited an extraordinary person into the game」.
"You were involved in this game. Enjoy the paradise of humanity to the fullest. Seigo-kun"
As a game developer, Koyanagi-san said this. It was both an ale and a challenge.

Author note:
This is where the story of the prologue ends. We will see what Lily and the others will learn and how they will grow.
In the next two chapters, the four that haven't evolved yet will evolve at once. It will also be Setia's first attempt at creating a potion, so look forward to seeing how it turns out.
