Blade Skill Online: With Trash Job ‘Summoner’, Weakest Weapon ‘Bow’, and Rotten Stat ‘Luck’, I Rise

[Yuri-kunchan’s Photobook Debut!]

Okay, I first have to get my gears upgraded before the event.

I was back in the Beginning Town to see Francoise.

They sold ‘Teleport Card’ that allowed you to teleport to other cities you’d been to before in Helheim. I’d used it to instantly teleport here from Helheim.

“Oh, it’s Demon King Yuri!”

“Eh, the real one?!”

“Wow, she’s so beautiful~! She looks the same as in the ‘photobook’ released by the devs!”

I waved my hand to the players who looked at me with looks of admiration.

Hahaha, I’m so famous now! Occasionally, I’d hear people say “I bought your photobook!”, “I paid 500 real yen for one, but it’s totally worth it!”, and “You look so sexy in the dress burned by the Gigantic Dragon Plant’s laser!” but what the hell were they talking about?

I tilted my head as I entered Francoise’s shop, where she and a small girl were arguing for some unknown reason. They both had blonde hair, making them look like sisters, but the shortie was in a black dress while Francoise was in a white one.

The shortie told Francoise while making a strange pose, “Kuuukukukuku! My eternal enemy, Francoise. I have finally settled myself here as of today! Prepare yourself to close down this shop, as my products will soon take the market by storm!”

“Eternal enemy, hm…? Grimm-san, would you be so kind as to remind me who was it that lent you so much money during the beta test?”

“Ugh?!”

“Whom did you go crying to, saying ‘My items aren’t selling at all~!’? Who helplessly showed you the ropes and covered the cost of your materials initially? Who was it that gave you the down payment to purchase a shop? You haven’t paid back most of it if I recall…”

“Ah, u-uh, I-I’ll pay it all back one day… ngh~~~~~~~~~~~~~! Just you wait, Francoise! I will surpass you one day!!! Uwaaaaaaan!”

…Having taken severe mental damage, the girl named Grimm ran away crying. Francoise saw her off before sighing and relaxing her expression.

“Yo, Francoise. Was that your little sister or something?”

“My, Yuri-san, you saw that? …Well, I suppose she is sort of like a little sister to me. She’s been pestering me ever since the beta test days. ‘I will definitely surpass you one day’ she will always say.”

Hmm, she was one bold girl, huh.

According to the baldhead, Francoise was a famous top-class craftswoman. He said that she had a lot of fans because she could easily create delicate craftwork that was very close to the real thing and make equipment both excellent in design and performance. The fact that she could afford to buy this splendid three-story store was proof of how sought-after her products were.

Yet that shortie dared to declare her a rival. Nice guts!

It was when I was evaluating the shortie. Francoise giggled amusedly as she took out a book. What was that?

“Ufufufufufufu, by the way, I have seen it, Yuri-san~! The developers’ official photobook ‘The Tyrannical and Beautiful Demon King Yuri: Glimpseteases Blooming on the Battlefield’! The pictures of Yuri-san wearing the dress I made came out so beautiful, I was so moved~!”

“What the hell is that?!”

My photobook was out?! This was my first time hearing this, though?!

I snatched the damn thing from Francoise’s hand and flipped it over. It was filled with the picture of me fighting a horde of zombies in the underground tomb, the picture of me being restrained by Gigataro’s tentacles in the forest, and the picture of me and the Pope who had turned into a monster struck our fists together.

On top of that, under the shitty title ‘If the Demon King Became Your Girlfriend♡’, there was the picture of me eating a hamburger with the baldhead taken from his viewpoint and the picture of me with frankfurter in my mouth taken from Seele’s viewpoint.

What the hell is this shit?! Those bastard devs, how dare they release something like this without my permission?!

“Francoise, I’ve never heard anything about this. Those shitty devs released without my permission…!”

“My, is that true?! …Ah~, now that I think about it, there was such a clause in the terms of service: ‘The copyright of the graphic data belongs to the developers regardless of the background or avatar. Please note that it may be used in promotional videos, etc.’.”

“What?!”

Hearing her words, I opened the terms of service window from the menu, and indeed, it was stated as such there.

…Ughh, it had probably popped up when I started the game but I skipped over it… And even if I had read it properly, I’d most likely just be like, “So, what?”

I mean, who the heck could have ever imagined their photobook would be released by the developers of the game they were playing…!

“Grrrrrrr…! Those devious devs, pulling such a cheap trick…!”

“Ahaha… well, look at the bright side. You have become even more famous, Yuri-san. Try looking at the review page of the photobook. ‘I thought she was just a battle maniac, but the way she ate with such a cute face has changed my impression of her~!’, ‘I resented her for slaughtering me at the battle event, but looking at these pictures, her face is so beautiful and her body so sexy… I feel like my trauma of that day is turning into a reward…!’ and so many more! They’re all positives!”

“I’m not cute, nor am I sexy, goddammit!”

Who the hell wrote those stupid reviews?!

I was so angry that I wanted to slam the book on the ground, but I couldn’t because it was Francoise’s (why the hell did she even buy it, sheesh), so I could only groan in frustration and embarrassment.

Fuck you devs, I’m gonna wreck the next event, just you wait?!
