Chapter 316

The erosion of jealousy slowly transforms the admiration and envy of those around into hatred.

Thus, the person whispering love to the princess must have either harbored malicious intent from the start, been a narcissist with extreme self-love, or been a monster consumed by lust, capable of sharing love with the enemy who killed their parents.

Doubt and distrust had long settled in Na-Me as a survival instinct.

“I’ve found a way for all of us to be happy. Let’s go to a deserted island where no one will know us! If we’re in a place where we can’t be contacted, no one can separate us!”

The maid’s proposal to leave for the deserted island alone.

[▶Yes, let’s go. / ▶I can’t abandon my family.]

[▶I can’t abandon my family. You should leave instead. It’s the happiest path for all of us.]

Na-Me shook her head and swiftly knocked her hand away.

“Na-Me doesn’t care if I’m not there… but I can’t give you up. I’m sorry No Name… I’ll catch up soon, so just wait a little, hehe.”

The blue sky turned into a sunset hue, and a dreary atmosphere played in the background.

“It seems my dear maid has reached the ending as well. Let’s check just how powerful this NPC is.”

No Name smoothly selects the yandere route as if breathing.

Those watching were unable to contain their shock at the choice that gently gave love, only to brutally crush the heroine’s heart at the end.

– Pure evil No Name, hahaha!

– A simulation game isn’t a speedrun! Definitely not a pattern breaking, either!

– Wh-What is this…?!

– This isn’t a simulation game!

└ It’s a Misogir Year Simulation, so it’s accurate!

– You can’t call a bad ending a clear ending!

└ I’m a virgin, what’s the issue?

– Every game has to have a final boss, okay? Hahaha!

└ A child soaked in combat, lol.

The darkened maid charged with her fists clenched.

It was a family-friendly rating, so the dual swords that once aimed for the protagonist’s heart were “censored.”

The beautiful maid ruthlessly pushed forward with a confirmed bad ending.

Being caught meant the end, and receiving a certain level of damage would also trigger the ending credits.

The key was how long one could endure in a showdown at the cliff’s edge.

Na-Me dodged to the side, escaping the wall and executed a one-two-body-calf kick combo in the blink of an eye.

Smack-!

Na-Me backed away with a step.

Her flowing blonde hair shimmered under the crimson sunlight.

One could hardly believe that these were the same people who had whispered love just moments ago.

The low-intelligence NPC hesitated for a moment, and Na-Me raised her guard, looking for openings.

– Wow, her hands are so fast! She landed four solid hits in no time, haha!

– No Name’s mom!

– Skipping dialogue to avoid giving any affection, lol!

– I wished for voice acting for the female characters, sigh…

– Dating simulation for 20 minutes → Fighting for 20 minutes → Repeating dating simulation for 20 minutes, haha!

└ Na-Me’s combat sense is just insane, lol.

– Why isn’t there ASI in dating sims? What fun is there in dating dolls that don’t respond?

└ But if you lack community skills, ASI becomes even more burdensome…

└ These guys lack social skills even more than ASI, haha!

The maid, who had been mindlessly charging in with arms wide open, suddenly lowered her posture to look for an opportunity.

This was to increase her chances of quickly eliminating the player as she was the combat AI.

The moment Na-Me reached out her hand, the maid dashed in swiftly and tackled her knee.

The maid’s wide skirt flared.

“It’s all the same up to here.”

Muttering softly, Na-Me withstood the maid’s tackle on one foot and regained her balance.

It was familiar behavior, as if all companies adopted similar combat algorithms.

With no hesitation, Na-Me grabbed the maid’s thin legs and rolled backward halfway.

Using the recoil, she slammed the maid down onto the floor with a counter.

Thud-!

Eventually, with her thigh and shoulder joints seized, the maid was helplessly pinned and flailed her hands.

“Pay attention. If I roll halfway with my back showing and trap her legs between my arms, Ta-da! The Boston Crab, Shrimp Twist submission appears, right?”

The maid’s waist bent like a bow with the pro wrestling technique. It really bent up until just before breaking.

[‘GraduateStudentSaveMe’ donated 1,000 won!]

– Streamer! Camera, camera! We can see the maid’s panties now!

The Victorian skirt flipped completely, exposing white garter belt underwear to the broadcast without filters.

It revealed the inside of the steel skirt that could never be seen in-game, excluding the 19+ scenes.

– What… how did that happen?!

– Developer, we have a bug here!

– Doing such bizarre things leads to bugs like this, haha!

– ‘My Dear Maid’ entire audience controversy over exposed panties.

└ That’s quite unfair, haha!

– I’m going to try that, I just need to win with Riley’s submission in the yandere route, right?

└ You’re an adult, just buy the 19+ version, haha!

└ Rookie mistake. It’s the guilt of doing something you shouldn’t that makes it enjoyable.

└ This is dizzying, seriously!

“Ah!”

As soon as the maid’s legs were released, she sprang up without pain.

Fortunately, the skirt returned to its original state.

However, Na-Me’s expression hardened as she faced the crisis of the broadcast being shut down.

“It wasn’t intentional… This level of intensity should be fine, right? There couldn’t be a Twish moderator stationed in our room.”

Glimpsing at the chat room with her side-eye, it appeared they had already been surrounded by police.

-(★twish_dooly): Yikes, we got caught!

└ Police have arrived, Dom Huang-!

– Wait, how can there be not just one but several moderators, haha?!

– Please, don’t work overtime on Christmas! Let us have some fun!

– Actually, the police enjoyed it too, right?

-(★twish_milkyway): We are fine! Maybe? Feel free to relax~

– They secretly came to Na-Me’s room to enjoy together, those moderator bastards, haha!

The police and demonstrators shoulder to shoulder, a peaceful Christmas Eve scene.

With misdemeanors acknowledged, Na-Me’s mouth curved into a smirk.

Having received permission from the moderators, it seemed okay to raise the level of violence, disregarding any issues with decorum.

The maid’s muscles started to swell, and she soon transformed into a giant almost 2 meters tall.

“Ah, this is quite dreadful.”

Na-Me clicked her tongue and sighed.

Her arms were surrounded by a golden aura, further strengthening her.

“From now on, those with weak hearts, the elderly, pregnant women, and children should take caution while watching.”

Ku-go-go-go-!

The two women collided at a single point with a speed incomparable to before.

The strong shockwave violently shook the old chandelier.

Pababak-!

With fierce punches, the maid ruthlessly hammered Na-Me from deep within.

Despite the gust of wind, Na-Me didn’t flinch.

Instead, with a beast-like reflex, she tracked the maid’s movements to the end, finding an opening.

“Ugh!”

Breath in and extend the punch.

Kwa-go-go-go-!

The hulking maid flew backward and slammed against the wall.

Na-Me rolled back again.

A natural flow of action.

Mounting the maid’s shoulder, she tightly squeezed her neck with her legs.

At the same time, Na-Me entwined the aura threads in an anchor chain structure, rooting the end deeply into the ceiling.

The opposite chain wrapped tightly around the maid’s body.

Like in a hanging execution, the 2-meter behemoth slowly lifted off the ground.

Na-Me grunted and yanked the chain to completely restrain the NPC’s movements.

For a human, the cervical vertebrae and ribs would shatter in no more than a few minutes, claiming a life.

Yet, the body of maid Riley transformed into 0s and 1s before ultimately vanishing.

[system: NPC ‘Riley’ cannot be found. (Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘Reyley’ of null.)]

The view blacked out.

The maid’s proposal to leave for a deserted island once more floated back to Na-Me’s mind.

[▶Yes, let’s go. / ▶I can’t abandon my family.]

“…”

[▶Yes, let’s go. I am Riley’s eternal master.]

Na-Me’s hand paused momentarily before leaning to the left.

Before she knew it, a cute Riley appeared once more, wiping away tears as she engaged in a fierce hug with the protagonist.

Not a true ending or a bad ending, but a normal ending.

It was the result Na-Me achieved in the dating simulation game ‘My Dear Maid.’

[Ending 7*%@8: Young!#Awon&!Dam?>Higwa?Ham#@Ik&Keb?@Ya]

“Phew, that was fun! They’re opening the Snezhnaya region next month! I need to gather a lot of diamonds during the Christmas event!”

In the late dawn, Adella confidently wiggled her tail as she returned to the private room.

Is it a problem if a female streamer doesn’t broadcast on Christmas Eve?

Isn’t even a vtuber exempt from that?

‘What can I do if I have no body to work with!’

Instead, Adella realized that not broadcasting could actually pose no issue for her and ultimately ignored President Kariri’s pleas.

The Genshin Christmas Eve festival was truly a magnificent celebration.

Having tasted the great capital of China, Asaneko Adella dug into her inventory, retrieving figures and prize scrolls one by one to start organizing her belongings.

“Huh…? Why is this here?”

The dating sim expansion pack she had hidden under her bed rolled around haphazardly on the floor.

She had meant to rush through the true ending first and later unlock the remaining endings when time permitted.

“Ah, I can’t sleep anyway, so I think I’ll just stay up tonight. Just for one night, what’s a big deal!”

Dressed in pajamas, Adella lay on her bed and turned on the hologram.

“Playing in 2D has its own romance.”

It seemed she didn’t want to move even while playing, given she had been outside running around energetically.

“Huh, this is restricted content, why did the version change?”

She entered the settings and switched back to the desired version.

“Ahhh!”

The happy ending obtained with the beautiful girls, the achievements of saving the world, the sweet and bittersweet memories all vanished cleanly.

Was this a nightmare? Adella wished for it to be a nightmare.

She caressed the cold corpse of the save file.

And suddenly, Adella’s gaze turned toward the bedroom of Na-Me in the real world.

At 3 a.m., the bedroom door of No Name, soundly sleeping like a baby, slowly creaked open.

The landlord, Professor Cheon Kyujin, quietly placed a gift box beside Na-Me’s pillow before leaving.

Creeeak-

As the door closed and the light disappeared.

“…!”

Adella’s cat-like pupils widened.

Ssssh-

The awakened Na-Me quietly pulled the gift into the blanket.

Soon, a sly smile graced Na-Me’s lips as she stared into the camera.

[▶Commmunication Mode – ON]

“Are you watching me, Adella? I had no idea our Adella had such a maniacal taste…”

“Oh no, that can’t be! Surely not my sister? No way! It can’t be!”

Denial.

“What, being surrounded by cat-eared pretty boys and girls…”

“Why were you accessing my dating sim account!? I can’t forgive even you, sister!”

Anger.

“Forcing the maid to wear a ridiculously short tennis skirt…”

“Please stop! If this keeps up, I’m going to die of embarrassment! I’ll admit I did it all wrong! Just keep it a secret from others, please!”

Compromise.

“Dressing the soaking wet mermaid in a semi-transparent hanbok… Keep it a secret, but you’ve already aired it all on the broadcast?”

“I’m socially dead… I’ve died… I can never stream again… I’m trash…”

Depression.

“Anyway, Merry Christmas, Adella. I had a gift I wanted to give you, but I’m too tired right now. I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Sleep well.”

“Wait a second! You can’t just say whatever you want and leave like that—”

“Let’s try to keep the lewdness down a little more from now on? I believe in our Adella.”

[▶Communication Mode – OFF]

[▶Camera – OFF]

Na-Me’s projector turned off following her authority.

Adella’s body gently collapsed forward. The pink wallpaper was torn by her sharp nails.

Whether she had accepted a social death or returned to the initial stage of denial remained a mystery until one looked, like Schrödinger’s cat.
