"It seems that after Version 1.6's Space Station event, the next version will take us directly to the planet Lumina pointed to, and then Lumina will get her first banner."
Midway through his conversation with Lumina, Little Bear paused to ponder, ultimately arriving at a conclusion that was as insightful as saying nothing at all.
The live stream audience was immediately exasperated by their streamer's utterly useless conclusion, and they promptly voiced their opinions:
[Are you even listening to yourself?]
[You're literally repeating what she just said! (facepalm)]
[If the official channels hadn't already released Lumina's Character Portrait confirming her Version 1.7 banner, I might have praised you for your brilliance. But since they have, I'm just going to call you a complete idiot (smirking emoji)]
[Confirmed, confirmed! Either the streamer's village just got internet access, or he's a complete moron.]
[We know the streamer has been broadcasting for ages, so the "just got internet" explanation is impossible. Since we've eliminated the first option, the answer is obvious: the streamer is a massive dumbass!]
However, since Little Bear had disabled the Comment Section, none of these comments reached his eyes.
Time passed swiftly, and soon, the conversation with Lumina and Herta concluded.
"Speaking of which," Little Bear muttered to himself, recalling their earlier exchange, "does Lumina really just want the Herta Puppet for research?"
Although Lumina's explanation sounded plausible, Little Bear couldn't shake the feeling that something was off...
Sure, there were doujinshi where people secretly stole the Herta Puppet to do naughty things, but this wasn't some doujinshi world. Besides, Lumina had obtained the Puppet with Herta's explicit permission. No matter how he looked at it, such a scenario seemed impossible.
Even if Lumina did do something like that, it would be an honor for Herta!
As a devoted Lumina simp, Little Bear naturally stood by her side wholeheartedly.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Little Bear dismissed the matter.
Opening the map, he teleported to the platform to continue the storyline.
Meanwhile, in the Comment Section Little Bear had long since closed, the conversation between Lumina and Herta had ignited a frenzy.
[Hiss... I ship it! I ship it! I ship it so hard!!! (Heart eyes emoji)]
[No need for words! I'm grabbing my pen and drawing a doujinshi right now—a Herta x Lumina one!]
[Lumina doujinshi, 200 credits per copy! Limited edition, first come, first served!]
[Holy crap, the Doujinshi Seller's back? And they've jacked up the price to 200 credits per book? Can anyone recommend me for a job in this industry? I don't care about the money (hehe), as long as I get to see the doujinshi first! (Wink)]
[I heard your greedy calculations all the way from the Honkai: Star Rail, while I was getting cozy with Lumina.]
The comment section was in a frenzy, swarming with Doujinshi Sellers and spammers drawn by the scent of profit. Though the live stream moderators swiftly silenced them, their appearance still lured in plenty of suckers.
Unsurprisingly, these "suckers" not only had their desires left unfulfilled and missed out on the exquisite 200-yuan Lumina doujinshi, but they also got scammed out of their money...
Truly living up to their reputation as fools...
"Even though she drugged me, she's just so beautiful!"
Little Bear gazed at Ruan Mei's beauty, letting out a heartfelt sigh.
All the resentment he felt about being drugged, becoming Ruan Mei's "Assistant," and being treated like a tool, running errands across the Space Station, vanished in that moment.
If this were reality, no matter how stunning you are, if you dared drug me and treat me like a tool to be casually bossed around, I'd make sure you learned a lesson! ε=( o`ω′)ノ
But this was a game world. As long as you're good-looking and haven't committed any truly heinous acts, my moral compass will happily follow my eyes. o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ
[Eh~ Guys, I think I've stumbled upon another great doujinshi plot (smirking)]
[Don't just "find" it! I've been keeping track of all the doujinshi plots you guys suggested half a year ago in my little notebook, and still haven't seen a single one related to these themes in Paradise! (speechless)]
[Just throwing out ideas and doing nothing? Fine, fine! Don't make me get down on my knees and beg you! (collapsing in tears)]
[I really don't get it! Lumina is so popular, but why isn't there even a single high-quality doujinshi about her?! (furious)]
[It's not that they don't exist, it's that they're impossible to draw...]
The laymen who finish their doujinshi, pull up their pants, and bask in their post-nut clarity for the day naturally wouldn't understand... Only true connoisseurs know that Lumina's doujinshi aren't just "reluctantly" drawn—they're utterly impossible to create.
For some unknown reason, whenever any plotline even hints at adult content involving Lumina, her divine essence simply couldn't be captured on paper. Even industry titans could only produce a "Lumina" that bore no resemblance to the real thing—the kind you wouldn't recognize unless told it was her.
Thus, over time, a legend spread throughout the doujinshi world:
If you think you're a good artist, try drawing a Lumina doujinshi. No matter your style or technique, anyone who attempts it will inevitably fall silent...
Though considered a legend, it was one of the few that had been repeatedly proven true. Whether it was industry giants, Heavenly Demons from beyond the realm, or even the chosen one, anyone who dared to touch an 18+ Lumina doujinshi would instantly fall silent, then vanish for a while...
As for why the legend persists even after being confirmed... no one knows the true reason why it's impossible to draw.
But fortunately, while 18+ Lumina art is forbidden, 18- content is fair game.
As long as there's no nudity, anything can be depicted—even Lumina in just lingerie. Thus, images of Lumina below 18+ are even more glorious than the most glorious of golden ages!
Especially those swimsuit-clad group shots of Lumina with March 7th, Asta, and others—they're simply a feast for the eyes!
The level of detail is so exquisite, it's as if these works couldn't possibly exist in the mortal realm...
A small consolation for all the perverts out there...
As for why this is the case—why 18+ content is fundamentally impossible to create? Of course, it's the Saintess's meddling...
How could someone so pure and immaculate ever have 18+ doujinshi?
Even if they did exist, they'd only be ones she drew myself!
Of course, Lumina would never draw such things herself.
So, 18+ Lumina doujinshi with nudity? Absolutely impossible! If you ever see one, it's a scam!
No exceptions!
As for that breathtaking swimsuit group shot...
That, of course, was drawn by Lumina herself! o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ
