On the stage stands not Joan of Arc, but Lori. And it's not the loli-shaped Lori anymore. She looks very happy standing on the stage, perhaps because she is hosting again.

Lori: "Hi! Today, I'll be the host."

Lori: "Huh? Why?"

Lori: "Hmm~ Because I'm the female lead!"

Director off-stage: "..."

Lori: "Oh, I already know that. No need to remind me."

Lori: "Ahem~ Yesterday, Joan of Arc took a leave due to a small problem, so I'll be hosting today."

Lori: "Hmm! I never expected to host the show myself. Since the start of this program, I've only been on stage once, just once."

Lori: "But this second appearance has turned me into the host. Hmm~!"

Lori: "Hmm? What's that?"

Lori: "Because I heard Joan of Arc mention a game called FGO, so I looked it up and got a character named Nero Claudius. I really like her; she's very interesting to talk to."

Lori: "By the way, I won't refer to myself as 'I' anymore. I will use '余' (yu) to refer to myself!"

Lori: "Hmm~! '余' is truly a genius. From today onwards, you all shall have my name on your lips. Rely on me!"

Director off-stage: "..."

Lori: "Hmm~ I understand. I'll get along well with the guests later."

Lori: "The director said a guest is coming next."

The lights dim instantly, and the entrance door opens automatically. A girl wearing a pure white magic battle suit, with a skirt dragging the universe and a pair of white wings behind her, walks out. Beside her is a white-colored raccoon with a golden ring on its tail. The ring emits a faint light as the tail swings.

"Lugo, Lugo East."

"Greetings once again, everyone."

At this moment, the word "elegance" seems to have been created for Lugo. Her every movement exudes the aura of an aristocratic young lady. Although Lugo is not a noble, she understands the etiquette even better than the nobles. Coupled with her attire, she is almost perfect.

"I am Saint Blaze."

The raccoon jumps around next to Lugo.

Lugo: "Long time no see, Miss Lori. How have you been?"

Lori: "Greetings, I see that Miss Lugo is doing well. I'm delighted."

Lugo: "Miss Lori?"

Lori proudly puffs up her chest: "That's what I call myself."

Lugo: "I thought Joan of Arc would be hosting today. I didn't expect it to be you, Miss Lori. Thank you for your hard work."

Lori: "Hmm~ It's not a hard work at all. This is my second time on the show."

Lugo: "Then what's the topic for today?"

A black question mark appears above Lori's head: "Huh? Topic? What's that?"

Lugo: "Do you not know the theme of this show, Miss Lori?"

Lori turns around nervously: "H-how can that be? I-I just forgot, that's all."

Lori: "Right, right. Today, let's continue looking at the most popular female character rankings."

Right after Lori's words, a virtual screen appears in front of Lori and Lugo. On it, the most popular female character rankings from "Becoming the Strongest After Traveling Through Game Worlds" are displayed.

First place: Joan of Arc

Second place: Lori

Third place: Merlin (???)

Fourth place: Moonless (???), Feifei, Azure Wolf

Lori: "Why is there a question mark next to the third place, and why is it the same as Moonless?"

Lori: "Why can Moonless also be on the female character rankings?"

Lori is puzzled as to why Moonless made it onto the rankings. Even though it's the last place, why is he on the list?Lori couldn't figure out why Moonless was on the list.

"What is this?"

At that moment, Luge took a device similar to a tablet from the staff.

Staff: .....

Luge: "I see, but how do I use it specifically?"

Staff: .....

Luge: "I understand, thank you."

Curiously, Lori leaned over and asked, "What is that?"

Luge smiled and said, "It's a character's information file."

Lori exclaimed, "Oh, really!"

She was immediately surprised to learn about the existence of such character information files.

Luge continued, "I found Moonless. Male gender, but can be changed."

Shocked, Lori asked, "What!?"

Luge laughed and said, "See for yourself."

"Wow, this is incredible! Although I don't mind yuri, hehe~"

Lori took Moonless's information file and burst into laughter reminiscent of a pervert.

Luge suggested, "Since Miss Lori forgot today's topic, let's talk about the ranking list."

Lori agreed, saying, "Hmm, that's decided then!"

Luge began, "Let's start with the Grey Wolf, who is known to be at the back. Many people initially believed it was a male, but the creator finally revealed the Grey Wolf's gender."

Lori responded, "Hmm, I also thought so. It seems like many people guessed wrong."

Luge continued, "Allow me to explain. Sacred beasts do not have a gender until they evolve into humanoid form."

Lori exclaimed, "I see!"

Luge added, "Furthermore, some sacred beasts can acquire the abilities of their ancestors after evolving."

Lori said, "It seems so. It's written here, but do those abilities really exist?"

Luge checked the file and said, "Hmm, it is indeed possible. After all, the era of origins was a time full of mysteries, and it is said that various abilities existed back then."

Lori asked, "Oh, what about this person's information? Their abilities seem even more terrifying than before."

Luge sighed, "I'm afraid that kind of ability is only possessed by gods."

Lori mentioned, "And this person is also one of the Ten Rights Organization members."

Luge forced a smile and said, "Ah, the Ten Rights Organization. I'm quite interested too, but unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications."

Determined, Lori said, "I've made up my mind!"

Luge asked, "What have you decided, Miss Lori?"

Lori declared, "I also want to join the Ten Rights Organization!"

Luge replied, "The Ten Rights Organization is limited to ten members, and it seems the creator has already predetermined the number of people."

Lori persisted, "I don't care, I want to join the Ten Rights Organization and become the eleventh member!"

Curious, Luge asked, "Why is Miss Lori so determined?"

Lori's face lit up with happiness as she said, "Because then I can be with Moonless!"

Luge realized, "I see. I suddenly feel like playing a song for you, Miss Lori."

Lori exclaimed, "Really? That's great! I've also recently started learning to sing, so why don't you all enjoy my singing?"

Ten minutes passed, and the entire stage fell silent. Only Lori, wearing a satisfied expression, and Luge, smiling helplessly, stood under the spotlight. Everyone in the audience had fainted from being overwhelmed.

And thus, today's small theater came to an end...
