[Ball of Yarn: Everyone knows about Duke Borgia's time-limited quest, right? The Duke's target
Amaryllis is under Anna's protection!]
[Ball of Yarn: Just protect Amaryllis from being killed by the Duke, and you can increase Anna's affection. I have proof with pictures]

"Guild leader? There's news on the forum."
"Did someone find Amaryllis?"
"No, Duke's quest seems to contradict grinding Anna's affection."
"...Damn. The developers deserve to have their mothers' grocery bills increase."
"Uh, guild leader, didn't you praise the developers during last month's treasure box event?"
"Young man, remember this: when it comes to developers, praise is temporary, but cursing their mothers is inevitable. This applies to any game." (TN: So true bestie.)
...
Anna's Support Group.
"Anna-chan is protecting Amaryllis?!"
"So... strategist? What should we do? Are we still doing the quest?"
"As I predicted, an ominous star rises over Rothschild. This is a bad omen..."
"Strategist, you were pretty enthusiastic about finding Amaryllis too."
"Everything is within my calculations! Notify everyone, Anna's Support Group prepare to—"
"Support Anna-chan!"
"You reckless fools, we need strategy! Spread the news, get more adventurers on our side! Also, send someone offline to message the leader. Tell him to stop lounging in prison and break out already!"
"Huh? Can you just casually break out of the Holy State's prison?"
"Beats me? But the leader can break out, he's just staying because he wants to... Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
...
Among players, especially those passionate about questing, everyone knew the necessity of staying well-informed.
Evidence of Anna successfully increasing affection, and the apparent contradiction with Duke Borgia's time-limited quest, rapidly spread through the player community.
At a certain tavern.
"Duke Borgia... you're scheming against me...!"
"How is one supposed to choose?"
"Have you seen Anna's doujinshi?"
"I have."
"Then who to help should be obvious, right?"
"...Got it!"
...
Somewhere in the wilderness.
A fully armed adventurer closed his message window. Seeing the fence-sitting players around him changing sides with the wind, he snorted with disdain.
"The most important thing in gaming is immersion. Isn't it boring to play games without any principles? Like me, I would never betray Duke Borgia. Besides, I don't even know any Anna..."
"Hey, brother."
Another adventurer nearby patted his shoulder.
"This is Anna's portrait."
The adventurer glanced at it, then fixed his gaze on Anna's beautiful black-stockinged legs.
"I swear, I dedicate this life to Anastasia, through fire and flood I will not hesitate!"
...
At a certain castle.
"It's so noisy outside... what's happening?"
"Sister, there are rumors among the adventurers that Anastasia, whom you visited a few days ago, is suspected of harboring the criminal Amaryllis."
"Eh?!"
...
In a certain forest.
Two groups of adventurers faced off, eyeing each other menacingly. But bloodshed here would be worthless, so despite the tense standoff, no direct conflict had erupted.
"Our alliance ends here."
"Reason?"
"Sorry, for the sake of the par... ah no, for Anna!"
"I don't understand you guys. You're abandoning a time-limited quest to flirt with Anna?"
"If you don't spill blood and sweat for beautiful girls in games, what's the difference from being a salted fish?" (TN: Couch potato.)
"I understand the logic, but I can't grasp your current thinking."
"When I discovered you like the flat-chested mermaid princess, I knew we'd part ways eventually. Face reality–big breasts are the eternal unchanging truth of this world!"
"What do you know! Big breasts only have a sagging future!"
"Don't judge 2D with 3D common sense! Idiot!"
"If chests are not flat, how can one bring peace to the world!"
"If breasts are not big, how can one unite people's hearts!"
The tension between both sides grew thicker. Though the point of argument had become somewhat delicate, both sides seemed to hold dignity that absolutely would not yield.
A bystander adventurer in the middle said confusedly:
"What if Anna and the mermaid princess became a couple? Wouldn't that bring about peaceful prosperity and good governance?"
"You—" x2
"?!"
"—are really talented!" x2
