I had prepared plenty of supplies, so I left the rest floor and climbed to the 6th floor.
Then I quickly corrected my posture with dignity and waited.
It was time to wait, just in case the viewers came in.
- Han Yuyeon, Yuyeon-nim is here!!!
- Walwalareureureuararareurareureureu
- I waited patiently I waited patiently I waited patiently
- Let me breathe let me breathe let me breathe let me breathe let me breathe
How should I proceed with today's stream?
What should I show the viewers? Thinking about it, there wasn't much need to worry.
In a place filled with purple mist, I neatly placed both hands before me and greeted.
"Everyone. It's been a while. Have you been well?"
- Yes!!!!
- I've suffered badly, hug me
- But what's with the fog?
"Have you been skipping meals? Are you getting enough rest?"
- Thanks to our company's Yuyeon-nim, meal times and break times have increased.
- fr, the improvement of human welfare is all thanks to Great Yuyeon.
- Now that Yuyeon-nim is here, I should eat.
- Hug me.....
?? I felt like a telepathic message was entering my head.
A feeling that I should hug someone.
But since there was no one around, I put it on hold for now.
"The reason I was late this time was that I had a lot to prepare. I'm sorry."
- Since we don't know what's on the 6th floor, yeah, I get it.
- If Yuyeon-nim, who usually goes on rampages without even resting, comes after preparing, what the hell happens then.
- What do you think happens? The tower breaks.
"Everyone. Will you look at what I prepared this time?"
- Huh?
- What is it?
Reaching into my subspace pocket, I took out the prepared items one by one and stacked them into a tower.
- Du...
- Duu...
- lololol ffs guys, get a grip
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
That's right. What a maid must prepare. Supplies.
Lunchboxes to manage stamina and mentality, and S-rank weapons to bolster firepower.
- Wait, how much more is coming out?
- At least we can tell you've already cleared the 6th floor.
"This is war. Not a war between Serbain and the vampires, but a war between humanity and the vampires."
- Han Yuyeon: I'll beat every single one of those mosquito bastards.
- Yuyeon-ie wouldn't say that.
"I have no intention of leaving the vampires who threaten humanity alone."
- But you do leave them alone, though.
- Ah, so you mean you'll beat them with dignity.
- Anyway, you did say you'll beat them.
- The distinction between public and private is sulfur lol.
- Yuyeon-nim, so what's the content of the 6th floor?
- The field atmosphere is already ominous, though.
"The goal of the 6th floor is..."
Rustle, rustle.
Stuffing the lunchboxes and weapons back into the subspace, I checked the 6th floor's trial.
「Tower of Trials, 6th Floor - Canyon Exploration」
「Hidden within this canyon is the only path leading to the True Ancestor's castle. However, simply breathing will cause your lungs to burn, and simply setting foot here will drain your life force. Beware of the mist.」
「Main Objective: Explore the canyon and find the path leading to the True Ancestor's castle.」
"They tell us to explore the canyon and find the path to the True Ancestor-nim's castle."
- ? For a 6th floor, it looks too easy.
- The tower wouldn't give a freebie floor, so you'll definitely get ambushed during exploration.
- Yeah, or the path is gonna be a total nightmare.
- Never let your guard down.
- As if Yuyeon-nim would let her guard down. No worries.
"It can't be this easy. It seems Tower-nim has given me a rest floor."
- She's letting her guard down right now, though.
- Yuyeon-nim???
"It says my lungs will burn just by breathing and my life force will be drained just by stepping foot here, but it won't be a problem for me."
- ? Breathe what now?
- Is the 6th floor difficulty insane?
- Is this a time attack floor?
- Why isn't it a problem for Yuyeon-nim?
How wonderful, Tower-nim. We need rest floors every now and then.
If it's nothing but fighting every floor, a person gets tired of it.
"VV."
- Yuyeon-nim??
- Asking why it's not a problem for Yuyeon-nim, attempt 2...
- Asking why it's not a problem for Yuyeon-nim, attempt 3...
- This streamer doesn't communicate with chat...
It's a picnic, a picnic.
With an excited heart, I first gathered the mist with wind magic and then shot it into the sky.
To find Lady Ravina and the soldiers, I had to secure visibility first.
"Hmm."
- What's with her casually shooting tornadoes now?
- The reason it's not a problem = she's not at a level to be affected by such shoddy status ailments.
- I was worried for a moment, but it seems Yuyeon-nim can afford to let her guard down.
- You should let your guard down a bit.
- You go easy on the vampires because you worry they'll have a hard time.
- But the fog is forming again.
To secure clear visibility, I tried to clear the mist with wind magic, but no matter how much I swept it away, the fog regenerated.
I considered competing against its endlessly surging mana until I won, but I stopped.
Come to think of it, I felt somewhat suffocated.
Only after scattering mana once more for detection did I realize that the 6th floor's trial was not merely a rest floor.
"Where could this be?"
- Eh
- Even if you ask us that...
- It seems like a hell-difficulty 6th floor, right?
- Who wouldn't know that?
Surrounding detection wasn't working well.
This purple mist was interfering with detection.
The distance visible to the naked eye was about 50 meters.
I tried strengthening my sense of smell with aura, but beyond 50 meters, just like with sight, no scent was detected.
At this rate, how was I supposed to find Lady Ravina and the soldiers?
"Let me think for a moment."
- What are those magic bastards doing? Hurry up and find hints to tell Yuyeon-nim.
- All we can see is fog, how the hell are we supposed to find anything, damn it.
- Hint = If you meet Yuyeon-nim, run away.
- Is that a vampire POV hint?
- Ah lol, what can they do even if they run?
The cracked ground and suffocating visibility hindered flexible thinking.
Flexible thinking requires plenty of information to be accepted.
If I cast magic powerful enough to annihilate the mist across the entire area, even temporarily, there was the problem that Lady Ravina or the soldiers might get caught in it.
Then what was the method? There was no choice but to move aimlessly.
For now, I sprinted through the canyon with a light, dainty gait that maintained both speed and dignity.
- Why is she suddenly running?
- Dunno?
- Did she find a vampire?
- (Vampireee! Ahhhh! Vampire icon)
- Do these bastards think Yuyeon-nim kills vampires on sight?
- She does greet them before killing them, after all.
- fr lol, at least she greets them first.
As I ran, a familiar voice reached me.
"Yu... Yuyeon-nim..."
"?"
"Help me..."
When I turned around, I saw Lady Ravina.
Heavy breathing. Reddened cheeks. Disheveled hair and a nun's habit.
Seeing Lady Ravina in such a completely ruined state, I immediately fired a mana blast.
Kwakwakwakwang-!
A mana blast that tore through the canyon, drove away the mist, and annihilated Lady Ravina.
- ???
- ??????
- What, why did you kill her?
- Isn't she an important NPC? Is it okay to kill her like this?;
- Mommy I'm scared mommy I'm scared mommy I'm scared
The reason for the attack was simple.
Because what I saw wasn't Lady Ravina.
"Please don't misunderstand, everyone. That just now wasn't Lady Ravina, but a Vampire-nim."
- Huh?
"After all, there wasn't a sword stuck in her stomach, was there?"
I recalled my conversation with Lady Ravina.
I don't know why she keeps a sword stuck in her stomach, but Lady Ravina definitely said, 'I cannot pull it out until this war ends.'
"The war hasn't ended yet, so there's no way Lady Ravina would have pulled the sword from her stomach. In other words, that just now was a Vampire-nim, wasn't it?"
- Aha?
- So this time you skipped the greeting and just killed them?
- Huh?
- Kills vampires on sight < That was literally a fact...
- (Monster...! Vampire icon)
"May the Vampire-nim also rest in peace."
- Still, she never skips her ascension rites.
- You don't need to do that for shitty bastards, though.
"Yu... Yuyeon-nim..."
"?"
- ?
Lady Ravina appeared again.
I quickly checked Lady Ravina's abdomen and pulled out a shotgun, blowing away her torso.
"Impersonation is a serious crime, Vampire-nim."
- Ahhhh vampires!
- Seriously, it's terrifying how she kills them without talking;
- She did talk (physically), though.
"Yuyeon-nim..."
"???"
Again and again, Lady Ravina appeared.
This time too, there was no sword in her abdomen.
To protect Lady Ravina's honor, I pulled out a chainsaw and reduced the fake Lady Ravina to a pulp.
"Whirrr, whirrr."
"Kieeeek!!"
- But Yuyeon-nim, we're fine, but didn't you say you'd adjust the rating?
- You said you'd adjust the rating!! You said it!!!
- Ah, hearing these shitty bastards dying makes me feel good.
"Yu... Yeon... nim..."
"Stab stab."
"Urk."
This time, I filled Lady Ravina's seemingly empty stomach with a sword, then injected mana to make it explode.
"Yu~ Yeon~ nim~"
"VV."
"Hueaaaauaaack-"
This time, I burned it with the Maid's Dignity Flame Double Peace.
- Are they doing this shit to grind down Yuyeon-nim's sanity?
- Ah, are they trying to make it hard for her to stay sane when she sees the real Ravina later?
- Damn, they're so malicious, fr fr;
- Guys, seriously, I think the ones losing sanity are the vampires.
- What are you talking about? Yuyeon-nim's mentality is super weak.
- Really...?
I don't know why the Vampire-nims are using tactics that don't work.
Should I give them some feedback? What if they get offended by my feedback?
Could it be that I'm being rude to the Vampire-nims with my rigid thinking?
Surely there must be a reason they keep repeating such a failed tactic?
For example, perhaps in vampire society, this is a polite greeting?
Once my thoughts reached that point, all the puzzle pieces fell into place.
I was a shameless person ignoring the Vampire-nims' polite greetings.
- Yuyeon-nim, are you okay...?
- Hold onto your sanity.
- Look at her hands shaking, fuck.
"Yuyeon-nim..."
Once again, a Vampire-nim appeared, and this time I decided not to attack.
Right. The main objective of this trial is to explore the canyon and find the path.
There was no content telling me to kill Vampire-nims.
- Uhhh, it's coming closer.
- Yuyeon-nim, get a hold of yourself!!!
"Vampire-nim. Shall we make up?"
"Yes...? I'm not a vampire, though...?"
"I'll give you a hug..."
- ?
- Fuck, hug me too—
- Why are you making up with a vampire?
Squeeeeze-
I hugged the Vampire-nim imitating Lady Ravina as a gesture of reconciliation.
I couldn't hug the real Lady Ravina because she had a sword stuck in her abdomen.
Then, the Vampire-nim went 'Aah-' and opened its mouth, trying to sink its fangs into my neck.
No, it tried to.
- ? It won't pierce through lol.
The Vampire-nim's fangs couldn't pierce my nape, fortified with mana and aura.
"Ugh?!"
"Hmm. Is this also a greeting custom of the Vampire-nims?"
Chomp chomp-
Feeling sorry for the Vampire-nim trying so hard to sink its fangs into my neck, I patted its head as well.
"It's okay. It's okay."
"Eek...!"
"I support you, who is working so hard. Our existence, fighting."
"Eeeeek!!!"
- Mmm;
- Mm...
- (Hang in there! Priest icon)
Gasp. The Vampire-nim's fangs broke.
Dear me. It seems they neglected dental care.
"To mock me to this extent...! I will never forgive you!!!"
"Hing."
"I will tear you to pieces! Even if I have to wager my soul!!"
"Gasp. Don't wager your soul. It's too precious for that."
"The things you cherish will also die before your eyes!!!"
Oing. The Vampire-nim suddenly turned into a puddle of blood.
- Uhhh, this bastard's casting a curse.
Black energy burst from the blood and instantly pierced through my body.
"Kyahahahaha!!! You let your guard down!!!"
Nothing happened.
"???"
- lol, coming to your senses?
- She's saying she's perfectly fine~
The curse the Vampire-nim cast, even wagering its soul, failed to pierce through the Maid's Dignity.
At this rate, the Vampire-nim would feel awkward.
To preserve etiquette, I knelt before the Vampire-nim, who was bubbling away and disappearing.
"Urk. It hurts so much. Vampire-nim. So this is the power of a curse that wagered your soul..."
"......"
- Acting like she's reading from a textbook is so fucking annoying lolololol.
- Now THIS is teabagging, baby.
- I admit it, you were clearly the King of Curses.
- The Vampire Emperor who scored a 1-down on humanity's protector Han Yuyeon is seriously next-level.
And then I realized something important.
Ah, right. The rating adjustment.
