5 - Sob Sob Sob

Chicken-nim has been captured by the Max-level Tree.

The despicable and cowardly Max-level Tree swung its roots like tentacles and kidnapped the pitiful Chicken-nim.

I tried chasing after them to rescue Chicken-nim, but it was no use.

No matter how much I ran, I couldn't catch up to the Max-level Tree.

It can't be helped. Should I give up?

I tried hard enough, so I'm sure Chicken-nim will understand.

\- Kihkihkihkih.

The moment I was about to give up, the Max-level Tree opened its mouth wide and put Chicken-nim inside.

It must be delicious. I'm jealous.

Before those feelings could fully rise, the Max-level Tree spat out the half-chewed Chicken-nim with a ptui.

Why? Was it not tasty? How could that be?

There's no way Chicken-nim isn't tasty. I won't forgive this.

With all my heart and strength, I infused all my qi into my hand blade and fired a blade of qi drawn like a crescent moon.

\- Kieeeeeeek.

A slash that split the tree and advanced endlessly.

Having failed to control my strength, I ended up splitting the sky as well.

I'm sorry, Sky-nim. I didn't mean to.

Are the Constellation-nims alright?

You're alright. As expected, the Constellation-nims are amazing.

I'll follow your example and work even harder.

"I'll become a Maid Expert..."

A flexible disposition.

Even though I had just woken up, no foreign substance clung to my body or clothes, and my skin and hair still felt full of vibrant vitality.

「Maid's Dignity (EX): A maid's dignity is the master's dignity. Therefore, a maid must always and everywhere maintain her dignity.

\- Resistance to mental abnormalities increases.

\- Resists all contamination.

\- Purifies the surrounding environment.

\- Maintains optimal condition.

\- Receives corrections for the majority of actions.」

No matter how I look at it, this is a cheat skill.

It's especially cheat-like in daily life.

Washing up was a bit of a hassle, but to think I'd gain a skill like this. I'm truly a lucky one.

"Constellation-nims. Did you sleep well?"

I offered my morning greeting toward the sky, but no answer came back.

Everyone must be busy. What kind of work do they do while living in the seat of a Constellation?

Whatever it is, it must be a life so busy I can't even imagine.

Then, let's take revenge for now.

Standing before the Max-level Tree, I plunged my Maid Knife-hand into it to avenge Chicken-nim.

Pak-! A stinging, buzzing sensation rang through my hand.

"Hing-eeng-eeng."

If I'm at this level, the Max-level Tree's insides must be completely shattered.

This is the difference in rank. Before a Maid, a Tree cannot resist in any way.

Ah, if I want to learn the sword from the Guardian-nim, I'll need a sword, so let's make a wooden sword too.

Tree Calibur is somehow unsuitable for training.

Using the fish bones I received from a Constellation-nim, I cut off a thick branch.

After that, I trimmed the branch to make a wooden sword, and while I was at it, I made a wooden staff too.

"Hmm."

The Constellation-nims aren't coming. Should I try some self-study?

First, I grasped the sword and swung it through the air.

As I swung it with a whoosh-whoosh, old memories began to surface.

The hero party formed to slay the Demon King.

I was the Hero, and this wooden sword was the Holy Sword.

After cutting off the Demon King's head, I returned to Earth and ate chicken.

Actually, I don't have memories like that.

Of course. I was just bored and imagined it.

"Sword training complete."

Next, I grasped the staff.

As I adjusted my grip on the staff, more memories tried to surface.

I was a Sage so wise that no one in this world could deny my wisdom.

As a Sage, I spread maid culture to the members of the hero party.

When the hero party, the symbol of humanity, set out on their journey in maid outfits, a maid craze spread across the world.

Even the Demon King was moved by maid culture and surrendered while wearing a maid outfit himself.

I showed mercy to the surrendered Demon King and taught him the Maid Dignity Double Peace.

"VV."

Then, it became my mission to spread maid culture to alien civilizations somewhere in the universe.

I was selected as a diplomatic ambassador and given only two weapons.

Maid outfit. And chicken. Enough to achieve universal peace—

[The Authority of the Sky gazes at you with satisfaction.]

"Oh. Hello. I'm Han Yuyeon."

[The Authority of the Sky bestows grace upon you.]

Wow. Meat is falling from the sky.

I quickly caught the meat before it thudded to the ground.

...Isn't it heavy? I got buried under the meat.

I ended up buried under the meat with only my face sticking out.

[The Authority of the Sky opens his eyes wide.]

But I, Han Yuyeon. The authority of flexible application.

It's cozier than I thought, so I might as well take another nap.

"I was just in need of a blanket. Thank you."

While my condition is maintained at optimal state, my physical age is ten.

I need to sleep thirty-six hours a day.

To become an excellent maid, I need to be tall, right?

If I get too big, it'll be hard to communicate with others, so let's be satisfied with about seven meters.

If I grow bigger than that, people will be scared of me.

"Let's communicate..."

I fell asleep once again.

***

Constellation Gallery.

This place, which had maintained peace while keeping boundaries with each other, was currently being hit by a massive storm.

[How long have you been farming and your star is already half gone lol]

[You crazy bastards, fight in moderation]

[My planet just collapsed]

[Telling a story about unjustly getting hit while watching a fight]

[So what's the reason they're fighting?]

The Warden of the Sword Realm.

And the Sage of the Star Library.

A situation where victims were constantly appearing due to the sudden fight between two Constellations.

Though angry at this absurd situation, curiosity came first for the Constellations.

Two Constellations who were usually quiet were fighting with intent to kill each other like this?

Even as victims who got hit while spectating, they couldn't help but be curious.

If things went well, wouldn't they be able to roll out more interesting bait?

Since the parties involved were busy fighting, the Constellations traveled around collecting information, and finally a new post appeared.

[Title: Found out why they're fighting]

Author: Explain Addict

(A screenshot of Han Yuyeon sleeping while doing a double peace)

It's just because of this kid.

This brat flirted with those two and lit a huge fire.

How could a mere human make two Constellations fight?

(A video of Han Yuyeon asking to be taught the sword)

(A video of Han Yuyeon asking to be taught magic)

(A video of Han Yuyeon playing hard to get about what to learn)

(A video of Han Yuyeon doing stretching exercises)

lol how could you endure?

\- Asking to be taught was whatever, but I understand after seeing the stretching exercises

ㄴ dude

\- To think they were fighting over just that, I can accept it

\- FarmLover) Please stop posting pictures of my wife

Explain Addict's summary was short but persuasive, so many Constellations were about to nod in agreement, but...

[Title: Ah, so these things called Constellations]

Author: Bamboo Spear Research Society

Going crazy and panting over a ten-year-old girl.

Eyes rolled back, continuously sending her food.

They were trying to gobble her up all by themselves, but another rival butted in so they got pissed and are fighting, right?

Amazing! Constellations!

\- FarmLover) I was right

\- I am pretty amazing haha

\- Hmm, listening to it like this, it's all true, isn't it?

ㄴ You've opened your eyes, come to the Han Yuyeon gallery

\- It's a bit embarrassing...

\- Constellation level,,, dropping everything,,, pathetic things,,, tsk tsk

Constellations who opened their eyes after reading Bamboo Spear Research Society's post began to appear, and,

[Title: So who wins if a sword and magic fight?]

Author: Ending Collector

Who wins if a dagger and a baseball bat fight?

Who wins if a Tyrannosaurus and a Spinosaurus fight?

Who wins if a tiger and a lion fight?

Seriously asking because I don't know...

\- First, Spino beats T-Rex

ㄴ What nonsense is this, are you ignorant?

ㄴ If Spino breathes fire, T-Rex just dies

\- I'm the dagger, I split the baseball bat cleanly

ㄴ I'm the baseball bat, the dagger is currently pinned underneath me

ㄴ Ang ang ang

ㄴ Dagger, this sly bitch lol urgh urgh

\- There you have it~

ㄴ The info I was looking for was here ^^

Even meaningless troll posts began appearing, but a post that would convince all Constellations appeared.

[Title: Affection Endurance LV99]

Author: Agony of Creation

(A video of Han Yuyeon looking up and saying father)

(A video of Han Yuyeon tilting her head and saying grandfather)

At first I thought they were fighting over some pathetic thing, but now I understand.

She's my daughter. Any attack toward Han Yuyeon is considered an attack toward me.

Join the Han Yuyeon Adoration Squad.

\- Han Yuyeon! Han Yuyeon! Han Yuyeon! Han Yuyeon!

\- Tower-nim! I want to become Han Yuyeon's dad when I grow up!

\- You bastards, you've been the only ones hearing "dad" and "grandfather" until now?

\- GetMeJewels) There's no one more sinister than you bastards;;

ㄴ So you're not becoming Han Yuyeon's dad?

ㄴ GetMeJewels) I'm going to be her mom

ㄴ So she was my wife

ㄴ GetMeJewels) Fuck off

Han Yuyeon's destructive power was too strong.

To the point where she made Constellations continuously replay videos that were only a few seconds long.

\- SwordDad) Not your daughter, my daughter.

\- Grandparchive) Not your daughter, my granddaughter.

\- FarmLover) And she's my wife ^^

The parties responsible for the bait arrived late, but the atmosphere had already been ablaze for a while.

[Actually, I thought she was my daughter from the first time I saw her]

[I have a child I gave birth to a long time ago, and I think it's Han Yuyeon?]

[Yuyeon is my daughter...]

[If Grandparchive predicted the dad position competition would be damn fierce and preemptively secured the grandfather position, huge props lol]

[Sigh, I had no intention of having children, but if it's a daughter like Yuyeon, I could have one]

The Han Yuyeon Adoration Squad rapidly swelled, and the Constellation Gallery blazed with the greatest firepower in history.

Until a post appeared that would quell all this bait.

[Title: If you think about it from Han Yuyeon's perspective, isn't it quite bizarre?]

Author: DragonsAreCool

(A screenshot of a solemn dragon looking down)

That child must have had her own family before being dragged to the Tower.

Being human, she must have had a father, and a grandfather too.

But in a situation where she was forcibly separated from her family, you people are demanding Han Yuyeon call you father and demanding she call you grandfather.

Have you tried thinking from Han Yuyeon's position?

Isn't it cruel to make such demands of a child separated from her family?

Aren't all those things you said with that heart of "adoration" actually selfish desires to fill your own greed?

Are you truly adoring Han Yuyeon?

The concept of adoration that I know wasn't that kind of feeling, at least.

\- Ddu... ddya?

\- Huh, fuck, now that I think about it?

\- Cra... cra... crazy bastards, you were the ones who messed up first!

\- SwordDad)... What have I done?

\- Grandparchive) *Sigh*

The Han Yuyeon Adoration Squad stirred in great shock.

And the finishing blow was added.

[Title: Hey, Yongyong's words seem right]

Author: FarmLover

Now that I think about it, she was dragged into a hell difficulty with a zero percent survival rate, but the kid was too calm.

She was just hiding her struggles and pretending to be okay.

And you bastards were doing this "try calling me dad" shit to a kid like this?

And this "call me grandfather" bullshit too?

You bastards. All of you, attention.

(A video of Han Yuyeon whimpering and sleep talking)

\- SwordDad)......

\- Grandparchive)......

FarmLover.

In the video he posted this time, though he usually put up shitposts, Han Yuyeon was crying with hing-eeng-eeng whimpers.

A crying voice filled with despair and sorrow.

Tears crossing her doll-like face rent the Constellations' hearts.

Struck by such a powerful finishing blow, the Constellations fell silent of their own accord.

It was the moment when even the fierce fighting stopped.
