That night.
Rellia lay in bed and brought up the game screen she had been working on during the day.
[System: Optimization 100% complete!]
Along with the message, small UIs in the corner of her vision flickered.
Then, a long rectangular speech bubble floated up in the air.
[Hello! I'm Alchy! ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑)و ✧ From now on, Alchy will be your guide!]
"...."
It was that thief-like, very familiar tone that always made her charge crystals.
She thought there would be something amazing.... Rellia gazed at the speech bubble listlessly, then furrowed her brows just in case.
Surely the guide wouldn't....
'The speech bubble isn't going to follow me around everywhere, is it?'
[That's right! Alchy will always help you for your 'ALL Recipe Clear'!!(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑]
'I'll just cancel.'
[Aah! =͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑) But 'Help Mode' is very helpful for quests and recipe clears, as well as in daily life!]
At those words, Rellia hesitated.
Would it really be helpful?
If it were true, she might be able to finish Route's annoying quest as quickly as possible.
'Alright, just in case.'
She decided to consider it being scammed for now and use it only until Route's quest was finished.
Just as she made up her mind—
[Oh! Σ( °o°) An unidentified 'Tracking Magic' has been cast on you. Would you like to dispel it immediately?]
...What?
