The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Live Demonstration

And they were right.

Their panic? Completely justified.

By the time Dylan started with the actual topic, even Imperial Princess Gianina was watching!

Little Nina sat cross-legged, completely enraptured, and temporarily disregarded the noble etiquette as she watched Dylan clumsily but seriously unbox the package yet again.

And she wasn’t alone.

Millions of viewers mirrored her movements—leaning in, eyes locked on the holo screens, watching as the streamer meticulously peeled away the layers of packaging.

The anticipation was palpable, and so was Dylan’s tension as he once again relived the first time he opened the box.

Somewhere in the comments, a few people summed up the collective feeling best:

[Is that a sample?! Dylan is shaking too much! What if he drops it?!]

[If he drops a single item, I’m going to lose it!]

[Will sending gifts make him function better? I’ll send over a spacecraft!]

Dylan knew just what kind of crisis he was causing across the Empire, but it’s not like he could help easily solve his nervousness.

[HE’S FINALLY SHOWING IT.]

[Huh??? What are those?]

[Do not drop it, I swear—]

And there was no need to tell him for he knew better than anyone how important it was not to waste anything!

So, with fully warranted care, he turned the small bottle so that the label was visible to the camera.

"First up—we have strawberry."

The deep red mash sloshed thickly inside the glass bottle, looking as vibrant as freshly crushed fruit. Even the strawberry bits were clearly visible. He held it up for a few more seconds before setting it down, only to immediately reach for the next one.

"Then we have orange..." The second bottle was filled with a bright, sunlit hue. Every time it moved a bit, the pulps inside shimmered and attracted the viewer’s attention.

"Watermelon..." The pinkish-red puree shimmered under his lights.

And really, it looked almost too vibrant to be real. If not for Dylan being fortunate enough to have tasted the actual fruit, then he would think that all of this was impossible.

But here he was, holding on to a bottle that clearly had the same flavor but even packed a more concentrated punch.

"Lemon, which I believe is the first time we’re seeing a lemon that’s not green." The yellow pulp looked dangerously potent, and he swore he felt a phantom zing on his tongue just looking at the bottle. And Dylan remembered the first time he tried it, so now, he was fully prepared to tell everyone only to use a bit of the lemon at a time.

"And finally, the apple we’re all familiar with." The golden-hued bottle completed the lineup.

He lined them up in front of the camera and looked at all of them in awe.

Just like everyone else.

A reverent hush fell over the chat before it exploded all over again.

[WOW! WOW! WOW! This is insane!]

[Does it come as a set!? Please say yes!]

[Why do the strawberries look better than rubies?!]

[When are these going to come out??!]

[+1]

[+1]

Dylan exhaled through his nose, half amused and half overwhelmed.

Because technically, they haven’t even gotten to the good part.

"I received these directly from Star Mall Vendor 11820251002 as part of their new product release," he explained. "And my job today is to show everyone how to enjoy them better."

Obviously, the viewers were left with questions until he decided to pull up an image onto the stream—one of the first drinks he had been given when he received the package.

A glass filled with crushed ice and ruby-red liquid, slices of strawberries decorating the rim, and a sprig of fresh herb resting on top.

[THAT—That, What is that???] _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

They do have alcohol, and sometimes one needs to drown in it to forget all the problems, but unless you had those really, really vintage ones, no one would sit there to enjoy alcohol when it tasted like medicine.

"That many people are watching?!" Luca was wide-eyed at the numbers that couldn’t even fit in the indicator.

"Yes, brother! I told you, so many people are waiting for this!"

And they weren’t just waiting.

Many have begun praying and doing whatever ritual they think would work.

Especially after learning that the small jars weren’t as big as they would’ve wanted, but with the small amount of product needed per drink, one bottle was more than enough for a handful of glasses!

Luca could only watch as the chat flowed, even having to use his enhanced vision to follow the barrage.

[You say these are called fruit drinks?! So, did these come from the fruits and not artificially made???]

[Bah! Don’t try it with the fruits from other vendors! They won’t even look the same!]

[I’m so shocked to see that lemons are yellow!]

[Dylan! Dylan! Please zoom in on that thing! That thing you call a ’blender’? I need to see the brand! What if my drink doesn’t taste the same because I don’t use the same blender!]

Now, that was very surprising for Luca, who had to ask why the people didn’t seem to know what a blender was.

"Blenders are now just used for a handful of noble babies learning how to eat solid food." Said Xavier, who suggested sending the gadget he’d seen them use for his sister Nina.

"With nearly everyone just consuming nutrient solutions, there has been no need to learn how to cook or even have kitchens."

"In fact, soldiers are only taught to eat solids in case they need to find food on unnamed planets, " he added, and the fruit vendor had to bolt up from his seat in surprise!

It was that bad. And so, what could possibly happen to these starved people when presented with something so awe-inspiring?

A flurry of very unusual and definitely questionable behaviors, of course.

Especially once the live streamer finished zooming in on every item sent over by the vendor, only to discuss the most crucial thing he kept for last.

The first shop update would feature 5,000 bottles for each flavor, and each person would be limited to buying one at 10,000 Star coins a jar.

"As for the time, it will be tomorrow at 07:00 Solara Time."

And live streamer Dylan let that information sink in as everyone exploded in chatter everywhere.
