Chapter 113

There were many issues, but this hunt has finally come to an end.

Since this hunt is the last content of the season, it’s a bit disappointing, but there’s not much to worry about since Leore said the new season isn’t far away.

Until the new season comes out, I can try playing other games.

This time, I’m really thinking of trying out other games. There are many games, but I’ve already decided on the one I want to play the most.

It’s Monster Hunter.

“Arang? Arang?”

Monster Hunter, which has existed since I was around, is still going strong and is even succeeding in its virtual world version.

The thrill of taking down huge monsters as a tiny human was already beyond imagination on PC, so I can’t even imagine how fun it would be to play by moving my body directly.

“Arang!”

After finishing the hunt, we all gathered together to summarize the strategy for this hunt and were enjoying the perfect clear atmosphere while resting. Reina, who had been holding me, urgently called out to me.

“What’s wrong…?”

‘Huh?’

I answered as usual, but I felt a slight hesitation, different from normal. I realized.

‘It’s starting.’

The feeling of my mood, which always stayed at 100%, plummeting down, breaking through the ground, and being sucked into the deep sea.

‘Ah…’

I’ve felt this so many times now that I’ve reached a point where I just accept it.

Of course, I’m fine, but the people around me aren’t.

I know how pitiful I look when my real-life menstruation affects me even inside Leore.

But that’s not the important part.

‘It’s going to hurt a lot this time too, isn’t it…?’

Reina couldn’t understand at all as she watched Arang talking with people in her arms.

At first, she was just a physically gifted, cute, and small young girl.

But the way Arang performed in this hunt was something Reina couldn’t comprehend even after seeing it firsthand.

Who on earth can perform like that when they can’t even see?

While they were in the middle of talking, the atmosphere around them changed.

It was noisy just a moment ago, but now everyone was looking at Arang without saying a word.

As Pinku and Sunchoo approached Arang, Reina suddenly stopped talking and stood still, carefully lifting Arang to face her.

Empty eyes. Unlike the bright and lively Arang, her demeanor had changed so drastically in an instant that it felt like she was a completely different person. This was the first time Reina had connected with Arang in reality.

Thinking something was wrong, Reina urgently called out to Arang, but Pinku and Sunchoo told her not to worry.

“It’s okay. It’s not a big problem.”

“No, this isn’t a big problem? Arang is…!”

“Thank you all for joining us in the hunt today, and it was an honor to achieve a perfect clear together.”

Sunchoo quickly assessed Arang’s condition and realized what was happening. He politely addressed the Mea’d party members, while Pinku nodded briefly at Reina and took Arang.

“Ah, is Arang okay?”

“Yes. Arang?”

Pinku hugged Arang like a child, and when he spoke to her, Arang slowly turned her head and spoke to Reina.

“Yeah… I’m fine… Everyone… thank you… If we can meet again… let’s… see each other again…”

After saying that, Arang buried her face in Pinku’s shoulder.

“Ah, everyone, don’t worry, it’s okay…! We’ll be running the hunt together next week too! That’s what Arang meant!”

“Y-yeah…!”

Arang’s words made it sound like she was about to die, so Sunchoo and Pinku quickly clarified what she meant.

Mea’d and Arang Arang’s joint raid achieved a perfect clear, and all the viewers in Leore were stunned by Arang’s antics.

-What kind of talent does that kid have?

-Arang can do this?

-Is it even possible to move like that without eyes?

-Wasn’t it a bug that made her eyes visible?

-If that bug happened multiple times, they would’ve done an emergency maintenance already.

Of course, all the viewers didn’t believe it. Or rather, they couldn’t.

Who would think someone without eyes could handle mechanics, deal damage, and dodge everything?

Naturally, the users couldn’t easily believe it.

But as soon as they entered the room created on Mea’d’s server after the hunt, all those doubts disappeared.

Arang’s default virtual room setting is a large T-shirt and dolphin shorts.

She did receive a dress from Reina during the emergency maintenance, but she only wore it without changing the default setting, so she came back in that outfit again.

Arang immediately jumped onto the 1 million won paid bed, and Reina quickly tried to cover the broadcast camera due to Arang’s restored outfit.

But Arang, feeling good after the perfect clear, had the authority to bring Reina’s camera to herself.

-Wow…

-Crazy

-This is our pride, Arang from Korea!

-Deleted message.

-Deleted message.

-Deleted message.

-What’s with the fangs? Why is she so cute?

-Deleted message.

-She’s so freaking cute.

-She’s getting prettier and cuter every day.

-This girl did all that crazy stuff?

-Deleted message.

Of course, Arang’s defenseless appearance was blocked by all the female party members.

Foreign viewers were left with the impression of a small, cute Arang.

But Arang was slowly changing.

Foreign viewers, who had only seen the bright, cheerful, and always smiling Arang, couldn’t help but be surprised as she shifted into a deeply depressed state.

-Is Arang feeling unwell again?

-Oh no… Is she okay…? Arang, don’t get sick…

-Let’s protect our Arang!

-Did she get stressed from the debuff?

-Is she okay?

Korean viewers, having seen Arang at her worst during the event tournament, managed to keep their hearts in check, but foreign viewers misunderstood the situation due to Arang’s condition and the reactions of the Korean viewers.

“Yeah… I’m fine… Everyone… thank you… If we can meet again… let’s… see each other again…”

On top of that, Arang’s farewell speech, which could easily be misunderstood, was something Korean viewers were familiar with from Kang Hangeul’s streams, but foreign viewers panicked.

-Is Arang seriously ill?

-The reactions of Koreans who know Arang well are unusual.

-Is Arang dying?

-A terminally ill princess… No!

-Terminally ill princess? What the heck…

-No!!!

Arang’s farewell-like speech caused a sudden rush of chat from foreign viewers, and Reina’s stream momentarily stopped. Although Sunchoo and Pinku tried to clear up the misunderstanding, it didn’t reach the viewers.

-What? Where did Arang go!?

-Is Arang really sick?

-Is the princess terminally ill? Is her condition serious?

-Did Arang log out?

-Just like that, the entire Arang party disappeared.

-Did Arang log out because she’s in danger?

By the time the stream was back to normal, Arang and the Arang Arang party members had all disappeared.

“Sorry, everyone. Arang isn’t feeling well, so she logged out. We’ll end the stream here for now.”

Unaware that the stream had paused, Reina decided to end the broadcast to check on Arang’s condition, as it was a real-life matter.

-Wait!

-Is Arang really in danger?

-Is Arang seriously ill!?

*Click.*

Before the viewers, who had heard Arang and Reina’s potentially misleading words, could say anything, the stream ended.

[The Princess’s Condition]

(Photo)

The princess’s condition suddenly changed drastically, and she looks really unwell.

Nothing happened, but she suddenly started speaking less, her cute movements stopped, and her face became sad.

The emotion on her face is so sad that I don’t even know how to describe it.

On top of that, her voice and way of speaking completely changed—it’s like she’s a different person. Isn’t this a serious problem?

Moreover, Arang’s words were so shocking. Does anyone know about Arang’s condition?
