What is rating control?
I pondered for a moment, still kneeling.
First and foremost, in the Hell Difficulty broadcast that Tower-nim relays to Earth, there is no mosaic censorship.
In other words, cruel scenes are shown to the viewers exactly as they are, without any editing.
But what had I been doing until just now?
Blowing up the fake Lady Ravina with a mana wave was fine.
Burning her with Maid's Dignity Flame Piece was also fine.
But grinding her up with a shotgun or a chainsaw was not fine.
Even though the vampire had a different body structure from a human and only blood had gushed out, blood had been shed all the same, had it not?
"Hmph."
- Hmm
I wanted to turn back time.
If I could do it again, I would proceed with the trial more carefully and attentively.
The problem was that spilled blood could not be gathered back up.
Isn't thinking that way too rigid?
Let's think flexibly. Nothing is impossible in this world. If I borrow the power of hypnosis.
"Everyone. Look here."
- Eh?
- Dweh...
- Even if you tell me not to look, I'm gonna keep looking.
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
I'm going to become a hypnosis master.
I took out a hypnosis tool from my subspace pocket.
For some reason, it was a coin on a string being sold at the subspace store.
- ?
- What is this?
- What is she trying to do?
I raised the hypnosis tool in front of me and swayed it gently from side to side.
"You will forget the high-rated scenes you have just seen..."
- So it was hypnosis?
- (Dumbfounded Mage emote)
- As if this would work.
"You will forget the cruel and terrible scenes from your minds..."
- Dweh...
- Oohing...
- Tweoh... Tyah...
"You will acknowledge that my broadcast is a wholesome and flexible broadcast that adheres to the ratings..."
- The rating... is high...
- Dweh...??
- I just got here, what are you doing, Yoo-yeon...
Is this working?
Since it was through a screen, the hypnosis effect was probably a bit weaker.
I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I just gently swayed the string, and as I swayed it, my body moved in tandem, swaying gently as well.
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
「You have acquired Maid Points.」
- Guh
- I can't take it, come here!!!!!!!!!
- Are you tempting me? Are you tempting me? Are you tempting me? Are you tempting me?
- You tempted me first. You tempted me first. You tempted me first.
- Yoo-yeon is a minor, you crazy bastards!
- Shiiiiit, Yoo-yeon tempted me first!
[The majority of Constellations warn you to be careful of your conduct.]
"???"
Ah. You aren't supposed to use hypnosis for something like this.
Without realizing it, I had done something bad in trying to make up for my mistake.
How could I be so shameless.
- Her expression doesn't change at all, but the flush is so fucking cute...
- Ugh, there are so many bastards who need to be arrested, but I can't even track their IPs.
- Were there really so many people worse than beasts?
- So did you guys not see the subspace pocket?
I felt that I had to end the broadcast quickly.
Before that, I should offer an apology first.
Sequence is always important in everything.
I took out and set up the 'Green Plate that Increases the Effect of Apology Letters' that I had stored in my subspace.
"Viewers who are watching the broadcast. Allow me to offer an apology for a moment."
- Why is Yoo-yeon apologizing?
- Y-yes... yes... you wagged your tail first!
"From now on, I will truly, truly try my best to concentrate on controlling the rating."
- Ah, nooo.
- Does this mean we can't see the subspace pocket anymore?
- Yoo-yeon, we're fine with it!
After offering my apology, I had a sudden realization.
"But everyone. Is it really possible for me to control the rating?"
- ?
- ??
"Could it be that the reason I fail every time I try to control it is simply because I have no talent for rating control? Could it be that I'm simply suited for high-rated broadcasts?"
- What are you talking about?
- You've seen the light. Pick up the shotgun.
"So I thought. Is making a promise you cannot keep courtesy, or is it deception? Isn't it deception? I have been deceiving my viewers all this time."
- Hmm, is it really that bad?
- Dweh...
It's so shameless.
How could I keep making promises I cannot keep?
I was taught that promises must be kept.
If I am going to keep breaking my promises like this, it is better not to make them at all.
"Everyone. Since I cannot assure you that I will be able to adhere to the rating in the future, please refrain from watching as much as possible."
- She's absolutely telling us to watch.
- Ah, okay, okay, we just have to keep watching, right?
- I'm gonna quit my job and watch 24/7~
How dare a maid break a promise with her Master?
Such a blasphemous maid would be expelled from the Universal Maid Association and be rendered unable to open a maid cafe.
Since I must open maid cafes across the entire universe, I have decided not to make promises I cannot keep anymore.
"You do not need to worry about me. As I told you before, I will always be happy, and I will always be victorious."
- Her mentality is honestly superhuman;;
"So, everyone. Until I clear Hell Difficulty and return to Earth, you must stay healthy and well, okay?"
I do not know what will happen if I clear Hell Difficulty.
There is no way to know whether I will be able to return to Earth or if something else will be waiting.
Still, I decided to make this one promise for certain.
That no matter what happens, I will definitely return.
"A maid without her Master loses all reason for existence. I will return to Earth as quickly as possible, so please take care of your health."
- ?
- Who is the Master?
- Is it me?
- Who is she talking about???
- Asking who the Master is, attempt 2...
- Asking who the Master is, attempt 3...
Hing-ing-ing. The viewers must have logged off by now, so I should dance.
- Why is she suddenly dancing?
- I dunno.
- She said she's not controlling the rating though.
- Just enjoy it.
Maid dignity, sway sway.
The effect was amusing.

Tower Gallery.
A place where stories about Han Yoo-yeon came up more often than stories about the Tower or Gates.
None of the gallery-goers here hated Han Yoo-yeon.
No, no human being could hate Han Yoo-yeon.
Smooth skin like a delicately carved doll and silver-white hair that shimmered like moonlight.
An expressionless face that seemed indifferent to the affairs of the world, yet jade eyes that honestly revealed her emotions.
A maid outfit that daringly exposed her upper chest and an unreal appearance.
A devoted, self-sacrificing heart for the sake of humanity and the combat prowess to properly challenge Hell Difficulty as the first in human history.
Han Yoo-yeon was truly a superstar who drove humanity mad.
She often acted absurdly, but even that was seen as part of her charm.
Yet Han Yoo-yeon, who had now reached a position where she could receive applause just by standing still and breathing, what had she done every time?
With words and actions that no one could tell were intentional or not, she entranced her viewers and drained their sanity completely.
[Title: Han Yoo-yeon << Just Pwing-sseu]
Author: HanYooYeonBroth
The age she was dragged to the Tower was only 10.
She must have all sorts of gaps in her knowledge, having only received elementary education before being dragged into Hell Difficulty, yet she keeps tempting me like a genius.
She keeps tempting me when I was just sitting still, grrrrarrlerurururwalololakangkang.
- You didn't pull it out of thin air but from your cleavage on purpose, right?
> HanYooYeonBroth) Do you really think she did that on purpose?
> Then are you saying she didn't do it on purpose?
> HanYooYeonBroth) It's exactly because she DIDN'T do it on purpose that Han Yoo-yeon is a genius.
> (Convinced! Mage emote)
- For real, she's just Pwing-sseu incarnate.
- My brain feels like it's melting if I watch too long.
- Hmm... I'll let her off this once.
- Honestly, if she tempts you like this, isn't it wrong NOT to fall for it?
One thing was certain.
Every intention of Han Yoo-yeon was temptation.
Attitude, gestures, trivial things, minute details—everything about Han Yoo-yeon was temptation.
Especially gathering gazes to her chest using hypnosis tools was the fatal blow.
Resisting the presence that made one's intelligence drop just by watching was nearly impossible.
Of course, there were those who maintained their intelligence and analyzed even in front of Han Yoo-yeon's temptation.
[Title: I thought about who that Master is]
Author: PowerAnalyst
A maid's possible range for setting a Master expands depending on her exclusive subspace rank, right?
Could it be that Yoo-yeon-nim has an EX-rank subspace? So she was able to set humanity as her Master?
Then it makes sense that she introduced herself as 'a maid serving humanity' on the 2nd floor to the soldiers.
If she can prepare maid equipment and supplies at that level, she must have an enormous amount of exclusive points.
Isn't she getting points duplicated because her Master range is all of humanity?
- Does that mean I'm Yoo-yeon-nim's Master right now?
- Why does that actually sound right?
- HealerSaveMe) What were the conditions for a Maid to acquire points again?
> When the Master's satisfaction increases.
> HealerSaveMe) Okay. I'm going to put up pictures of Yoo-yeon-nim all over my house and worship her 24/7.
PowerAnalyst's guess fit together too well this time.
Because looking at everything Han Yoo-yeon had shown so far, it felt like she was raking in Maid Points tremendously.
More than anything, there were simply too many good things about accepting this guess.
[So I just need to feel good thanks to Yoo-yeon, right?]
[Yoo-yeon, watch me!! I'll copy points for you!!]
[I think I've donated roughly 500,000 points to Yoo-yeon-nim.]
I used to think there weren't many ways to help Han Yoo-yeon, but doesn't this mean just liking her is helping her?

(Han Yoo-yeon unconsciously flirting video)
Life was gloomy and hard, but I guess days like this come if you live diligently.
I used to just get by eating cup ramen every day, but now since I'm Yoo-yeon-nim's Master, I'm trying to keep my dignity, yeah yeah.
(freshly ordered hot chicken gif)
Hoo... You guys hang in there too. Let's live dignified lives.
- Line up, rich people.
- Keeping dignity isn't easy.
- How is she YOUR Yoo-yeon?
- Yoo-yeon is public property, no monopolizing.
> That's a weird thing to say.
> But it's a fact.
> Yoo-yeon is humanity's famous maid.
- If Yoo-yeon saw her Master eating a meal like this, I think she'd set up a full-course fancy meal and feed it directly into your mouth.
> Gasp.
> You're right.
> I think she'd really do that.
> She'd say chicken is bad for your body and throw it out immediately and prepare a healthy meal.
> Kuaaaack, I've become healthy.
There were those who could not understand why Han Yoo-yeon was so devoted to the maid job.
It was said that the class granted by the Tower was the one best suited to the climber's aptitude, but that wasn't 100% accurate either.
Hard 30th Floor Maid Han Yi-seul was the proof.
[Title: At this point, didn't she just want to be a maid?]
Author: WhyAmIMaid
(Han Yoo-yeon swaying dance video)
Maybe she always wanted to be a maid, and since the Tower made her one, she's just enjoying it.
Otherwise, it makes no sense for her to be so devoted to the maid spirit like this...
When I got maid, I really cursed out everything, and just wearing the maid outfit gives me an existential crisis...
I hated having to designate a Master, and I just hated everything...
But Yoo-yeon-nim said 'Hmm, then I'll make humanity my Master' as soon as she got maid...?
Even if an EX rank can set humanity as Master, the very fact that she could think of that from the start means her way of thinking is different.
She really just wanted to be a maid...
- Yoo-yeon is clearing Hell, so why are you still stuck at Hard 30th Floor?
> WhyAmIMaid) A maid clearing Hard 30th Floor is a miracle.
> Maids were damn strong, what do you mean she's weak? Is she just pretending to be weak?
> Hah... Does the class of the first human being to reach Hell 6th Floor look like a joke to you?
> If you're a maid,,, you must,,, show respect,,, and use honorifics to us,,,
> Were you gonna say it's because you're weak? Almost said it~
> WhyAmIMaid) Aaaaaargh
Leaving behind Han Yi-seul, who wrote a post and was hit by concentrated fire and suffered, EmoteFactoryOwner quickly churned out emotes as usual this time as well.
[Title: You'll be missing out big time if you don't buy this emote now]
Author: EmoteFactoryOwner
That is the dancing class emote.
(Dancing Priest emote)
(Dancing Swordsman emote)
(Dancing Mage emote)
(Dancing...)
If you don't buy it, only you lose. Bye.
- What is this speed? At this level, it's like you prepared them in advance.
> EmoteFactoryOwner) I had a feeling Yoo-yeon-nim would dance, so I predicted it and prepared them in advance.
> What the fuck, how did you predict that?
- Why is there no Dancing Maid emote?
> EmoteFactoryOwner) My training was insufficient, so I couldn't make it.
> The most important one is missing.
> EmoteFactoryOwner) So you're not gonna buy it?
> (Dancing Guardian emote)
- Yoo-yeon-nim's dance line is seriously broken-tier. Even though she's just gently swaying, I can't take my eyes off her.
> That's because there's a certain something that sways and jiggles along with it, isn't it?
> Bakkkkkkk
Under EmoteFactoryOwner's grace, the broadcast chat firepower grew even stronger.
Dancing emotes flooded in as if frenzied for the swaying Han Yoo-yeon.
- (Dancing Priest emote)
- (Dancing Guardian emote)
- Wheee hoooooo
- (Dancing Mage emote)
- (Dancing Warrior emote)
- Shata downnnnn!
In this scene of frenzy, not a single person raised the question, 'So when is she clearing the trial?'
This was Han Yoo-yeon's power.
Sway, sway.
