The mai before bed: allog status points.

  If Nel has taken the first step in deg her future, now it's Amina's turn.

  "So, so, what am I going to bee?"

  "Maybe Amina will bee a songstress?"

  With expet eyes, they look at me. oo, seems curious about how Amina will grow, closing her own status s to focus on this.

  "The ultimate form Amina is aiming for is—"

  "What is it?"

  To match their anticipation, I deliberately pause for a moment.

  "A busy-type idol!!"

  I decre it with fidence.

  "Busy-type... idol?"

  But the meaning didn't get through at all.

  "Nel, I don't get it."

  "I don't kher."

  "Huh?"

  This rea was ued. But what's said is said.

  "Well, an idol is someone who sings and dances and is admired by everyone."

  "An amazing person!"

  "Like a mix between a dancer and a bard?"

  "And the busy-type idol is an expanded version of that, which is what Amina is aiming for."

  I quickly expin the basics of an idol and make sure Amina's dire isn't pletely off. When I first decred it, their faces were like, "What's that?" mixed with a suspicious look that maybe this wasn't what they had in mind.

  The sudden drop ihusiasm made me feel a bit cold.

  "Amina's role will be to fight, sing, dance, buff, attract attention, and draw monsters—a triple threat of chaos!"

  "An amazing person!!"

  "Amina, you're just saying the same thing as before."

  "But, fighting, singing, dang, and attrag monsters... wait, isn't that dangerous? Am I really supposed to sing and dan front of monsters?"

  "That's right."

  "Whaaat?! That's dangerous!!"

  While I avoided the suspicious looks, now there's a shocked voice eg through the tent, as if saying, "What kind of nonsense is this?"

  "Hey, I've been hearing the girls' screams for a while now. Keep the weird stuff to a minimum, okay?"

  "Ah, yes! Sorry."

  Amina's voice, being good at singing, carries particurly well. After Dent's warning, we lower our voices a bit.

  "This is also sidered one of the stro styles. Once perfected, you'll be able to pletely shut down most monsters and be unmatched in rge-scale battles. But the path to pletion is much harder than Nel's."

  "Harder than mine?"

  "Yeah, unlike me ahe number of passive skills is signifitly higher. You'll o max them all out, so you both know how much work that is, right?"

  If she says it's too dangerous and refuses, or if she refuses to sing while fighting, this style won't work at all.

  "Ahh..."

  Remembering the grind for passive skill development, both of them get a distant look in their eyes.

  "I thought of this as the best formation that fulfills Amina's wishes while allowing us to tinue adventuring together. But if you don't like it, I think of a pure songstress formation instead."

  From her rea, it seems like Amina might prefer the tter.

  " I still fight with that?"

  "Not really. You'd be more of a support, singing from the back to assist the party. Alternatively, you could allocate 70% to bat skills and take singing skills as a hobby."

  This build is also based on my knowledge and experience of the stro builds. Preferences matter, and I don't want to push something she doesn't like.

  How to allocate status points ultimately depends on the person. If there's a wish to bee something, it's better to help fulfill that.

  "Hmm..."

  She's thinking. Of course.

  It's not like a game where you create a character from scratch. You redo the training if you take the time, but you 't get that time back.

  Wanting to be the stro is just my wish.

  I'm just happy if Amina stays with me. F her would just be my selfishness.

  "If I get stronger, it won't be dangerous, right?"

  "Huh? Oh, yeah, in a way, you'll also gairo defense."

  "I want to stay with Nel and Liberta, so okay. I'll try being that... busy-type? thing. I still sing, right?"

  "I'll make you sing until you hate it."

  "I don't want to hate it. Singing is supposed to be fun."

  But after a bit of thought, Amina suddenly smiles and agrees.

  "Besides, Liberta, you said you'd make me the stro songstress, right? I want to see if that's true."

  "I'll keep my promise."

  "Then it's fine. For now, just tell me what I'll be like iure."

  "Of course!"

  As they say, a girl's heart ges easily. It doesn't seem like she's relutly agreeing; she's stepping forward willingly.

  Then, I won't hold back my knowledge either.

  "The busy-type idol is based on five passive skills: Singing, Dang, Alchemy, Summoning, and Spirit Arts. It's a style that bines buffer and tank roles."

  "Wow, I really remember all that?"

  "We'll cut where we o, so it's fine. All passives will be maxed out, but the active skills for Alchemy, Summoning, and Spirit Arts will total only ten. Singied skills will be twenty-five, Dang-reted fifteen, and the remaining ten will be allocated accly."

  The busy-type idol—if Nel's bat mert is the ultimate attacker, this style is the raid battle's chosen one.

  "Huh? But why do I o learn Summoning and Alchemy? And Spirit Arts?"

  "Amina, your main focus will be singing and dang, but while doing that, you'll be defenseless, right? The other three skills will fortify your defehough, with the buffs from your singing and dang, you'll be surrounded by crazy strong stuff that annihite the enemy."

  The basic a of a busy-type idol is to spread buffs. The range of buffs from Singing skills is among the widest in support skills. Singing is a must, but in FBO, there was a time when a serious singer using this build became famous ht.

  I don't know what system they're using, but the better the singing, the higher the effect. It's a skill form that demands teical ability.

  During a raid battle event where these busy-type idol units proliferated, it was niamed the "Idol Live cert."

  The on effect of Singing skills includes an attra effect. Depending on the ditions, this surpass the target-gathering ability of pure tank skills. Plus, since you're also spreading buffs, you'll gather even more hate. It's the idol's nature to attract attention.

  While yathering monsters, other unit characters attack them freely, boasting a hate tration rate that makes pure tanks cry.

  "Crazy strong stuff? What's that?"

  "That's the bination of Alchemy, Spirit Arts, and Summoning. Among Alchemy skills, there's a Golem Creation skill. You create golems, summon them with Summoning, and use Spirit Arts to create BGM that enhances buff effects while the golems operate automatically. The synergy is insane."

  However, this busy-type idol has a fw. pared to pure tank roles, it's signifitly less tough.

  To increase skill rotation, the stat distribution leans heavily on magic, so it's unavoidable. That's why you use Alchemy to create golems.

  The "crazy strong stuff" Nel asked about is these golems.

  Golems summoned with Summoning are sidered allies and be from buffs. However, pyer-made golems 't move automatically; you have to trol them.

  Well, teically, they move automatically, but their as bee very predictable.

  Spirit Arts solves this drawback. Spirit Arts involve trag with spirits or drawing out their potential using spirit buffs.

  In the game's setting, spirits enjoy s of song and dance.

  That's why this style synergizes well with the busy-type idol.

  And when your affinity with a tracted spirit increases, they might form a band to provide BGM, possess golems to go on a rampage, or enhahe potential of Singing and Dang skills. The synergy is insane.

  In the game, Spirit Arts alone were almost unusable—no, they were quite difficult to use.

  The spirits' AI had an affinity system, and each use would lower their affinity, redug their power and effect range.

  However, if you asked for support with Singing and Dang, their affinity wouldn't drop and might even increase. They'd also proactively engage in battles they usually disliked.

  In short, the key is for the spirits to have fun.

  "Wow, spirits and golems are that amazing?"

  "They're incredible. Especially if you raise them from the lowest-tier minor spirits to the highest-tier unique spirits, they'll work incredibly hard, perhaps out of gratitude."

  That's why the retionship with spirits is crucial, and I want to max out Spirit Arts no matter what.

  "Raising spirits, you make it sound easy. I've heard it takes thousands of years for spirits to grow, and I don't even know where they are."

  "That's true for wild spirits. I have a rough idea of their locations, and their growth isn't that difficult. For Amina, it might be pretty easy. Just sing, dance, have fu delicious food, a."

  "Then I do it."

  But acc to Nel's uanding, trag with spirits is difficult, their locations are unknown, and their growth takes thousands of years.

  That's where my game knowledge es in handy.

  In fact, modern on sense is what makes spirit training the biggest hurdle for busy-type idols.

  Spirits love to have fun.

  You lure them with items, but they primarily love singing and dang. If you treat them like AI and cut ers, they'll notid their affinity will drop.

  The best effies from enjoying it as if you're pying with friends, as some攻略 sites put it.

  Adults singing and dang with little fantasy spirits. Even if you're using a cute avatar, knowing it's AI be a bit embarrassing.

  Some even joke that it's a battle to shed your shame.

  But Amina seems to see it as having someoo sing with, and in this world, spirits are alive, so it shouldn't be a problem.

  "Anyway, to summarize, Amina will be protected by spirit-possessed golems while singing and dang to the spirits' apa, strengthening her allies. Summoning is learned for setting up the stage. Got it?"

  "Yep, got it!"

  Ohe busy-type idol reaches its final form, even hidden bosses will be surrounded by unique spirit-possessed golems and gaen. The boss's minions? They'll be drawn into the idol's performand turned into mi. Status effects? The spirits' BGM will block them. Area attacks? They'll be destroyed before they interfere with the idol's live performance.

  "Now that you uand, let's allocate your status points."

  "Okay! Uh, I 't do the math. Liberta, help!"

  "Amina, I taught you before."

  "Maybe we should take a break from adventuring to study math."

  "Huh?!"

  She probably 't even imagihat final form. Amina ily starts operatiatus with her wingtips but suddenly stops and smiles awkwardly.

  Ratio calcutions are something kids usually 't do. But I think it's useful to learn, so I make a mental o set up a study session with Nel and Amina ter.

  "Done!"

  "Alright, let's check."

  **Amina - Css 1 / Level 9**

  **Base Stats:**

  - **HP:** 7 - **MP:** 11 - **BP:** 0 - **EXBP:** 0 - **Skill 1 / Skill Slots:** 3 - **Staff Mastery - Css 2 / Level 83**

  With my guidance, Amina finishes allog her status points and shows them to me cheerfully. And so, Amina has taken her first step forward.
