Orange Group: Kekeke

It seems this Gallum has lost their mind.

In a situation where I could have secretly done something, they laid it all out on me to pry into my personal affairs?

“Maybe a cold shower will bring them back to their senses?”

After switching between blocking and unblocking, I asked the now rational Orange Group.

Head of the Gallery*: Are you back to your senses?

Orange Group: Head of the Gallery! Why are you doing this? I am innocent!!!

[Blocking the respective IP.]

[Unblocking the respective IP.]

Orange Group: Actually, there’s a reason behind my actions. I’ll speak honestly.

The moment the physical therapy began, the Orange Group’s chat showed signs of rationality.

Well, I thought I should wait to hear the reasons, but what came out was quite a sight.

Orange Group: How many evil forces have threatened the Head of the Gallery until now?

From that incompetent Crown Prince to the elves who wanted to manipulate their greed…

Head of the Gallery*: Mhm, alright, go on.

Orange Group: So I thought! If I keep watch near the Head of the Gallery, I can fend off threats from the outside!

Head of the Gallery*: ?

So, to prepare for my personal info being leaked, they plan to leak my info first?

Orange Group: But please believe me. I will never cause any harm to you, Head of the Gallery!

Words are cheap.

With words, I could say I love Frederick and honestly claim to be a half-elf beautiful great magician.

“Get out.”

[Blocked for 9999 days.]

Just as I was about to press the block button, a new barter exchange from the Orange Group appeared.

[Orange Group proposed “Magical Scroll” for barter exchange!]

Orange Group: I am innocent!

“Hmm.”

I hesitated to accept it for a moment.

What if it contained some explosive magic?

At that moment, the Holy Sword, which served as a light, suddenly jumped in front of me.

Woong. Woong.

“What? So you’re saying you’ll stop the magic?”

Woong.

“You know all the counter spells because you’re the Holy Sword?”

I guess it’s just been playing its light role all this time.

I decided to trust the Holy Sword, which was hastily coming up with reasons.

Especially since it seemed remorseful for dozing off during the last kidnapping incident.

“Okay, then I’m counting on you.”

Woong.

From afar, a sword gifted by a dwarf flinched as though it had noticed, but as soon as the Holy Sword turned its body, it returned to quietly guarding the entrance as if nothing had happened.

Now that I have magic protection, I received the scroll handed to me by the Orange Group.

“Of course, I could just not accept this.”

I can’t resist my curiosity.

[Package has been successfully delivered!]

Upon pressing receive, a delivery box appeared from thin air and dropped to the ground, just like always.

“Whoa… Is this a scroll?”

A single scroll sent by the Orange Group.

It was like the scrolls often seen in games.

It emanated some imposing presence, filled with incomprehensible characters.

Apparently, magicians know how to read these things, but I, being an ordinary person, couldn’t.

However, in such cases, one could always use the ultimate cheat key.

[Analyzing information…]

[Magical Scroll “Life”]

This scroll contains life.

Unless this scroll is torn, the caster’s life will never be cut off.

Conversely, if the scroll is torn, the caster will die instantly.

Caster: Orange Group

“What.”

And as soon as I read the contents, I was left speechless.

The Orange Group had staked their life to prove their innocence to me.

Orange Group: Thanks to you, Head of the Gallery, I saved my life, and I’ve fulfilled my dream of becoming a high-ranking magician!!

Orange Group: Now please trust this loyalty!!!

Orange Group: I’m in the Head of the Gallery Fan Club!!!

“They’re not just cosplaying as a cult, are they?”

I relaxed because they’d been dubbed a cult, thinking their funding was through honest work and voluntary donations.

But these guys were indeed a genuine cult.

To just hand over a scroll containing their life for mere recognition.

If I accidentally tore it, one Gallum would just die in vain.

And the problem didn’t stop at simply whether I would become the god of the cult.

– Head of the Gallery, repent at once!

– Did you think you’d be safe after mentioning gods!?

– Cult feature) Can’t eat rice without water or soup during meals, lol

– So the world ends because of this? Lol

– Church feature) Hasn’t committed any crimes

– Church feature) Without the Head of the Gallery, the demons would have starved to death or been killed by rocks, ooo

What initially rolled in as bait slowly began to split, and the cracks devoured the gallery.

“Why is it that they go crazy just at the mention of religion?”

Despite the church service cutting off the energy source of the cult, they still burned intensely, and I made a decision.

If this continues, I have no choice.

“I really hoped to avoid doing this…”

I closed my eyes, sighed once, and then drafted a new announcement in the gallery.

[Announcement: All troublemakers and cyberpsychos, pay attention.]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

(A frog meme with a red instructor’s hat)

This instructor can become an angel or a devil depending on how Gallum behaves.

If you act up, I’ll expose all your IP activity records.

Behave yourself.

(A menacing green dinosaur meme raises its finger)

– ???

– This is oppression!!!

– Really? Who do they think they are, bossing us around?

– We’re in the gallery, you know.

– Head of the Gallery*) If you’re unhappy, you can always leave the gallery. Care to try?

– I won’t act up, I’m sorry.

– Why does this guy’s tone sound like that? Lol

– Soon I’ll be 곧죽어도흡혈) 🙁

– Never anger the gallery master…

– Don’t anger?

– So don’t make me angry (Kwahahaha)

– Yeah, so I’m not doing anything.

– 2

– If you act up, you won’t like the outcome, ooo;

– Healthy God) (thumbs up succubus meme)

– Head of the Gallery*) Oh! Ah… Hmm.

– Ah…

– It’s been months since I posted a selfie… Please, feed me, ooo…

– Healthy God) Hahaha

But even with such a strong stance, initially, no one was listening.

Just like someone trying to gauge the line drawn, they inevitably attempted what they were told not to do.

“Please let just one get caught…”

I was watching the gallery with the feelings of an undercover cop.

At last! One showed up.

– But it’s true that the church just keeps taking bribes and opposes the religious ideology, right? Lol… I was about to say.

“Ah, I was just about to say that, lol.”

What I was about to say was unavoidable.

I decided to wait a little longer.

– It’s true that cultists are pitiful and ugly beings.

And soon another showed up.

“Gotcha.”

I immediately dove into the user’s activity records and began pulling apart one by one.

“Oh, look at this?”

And this Gallum turned out to be more hypocritical than I expected.

That’s me.

The moment I posted the announcement, another troublemaker appeared trying to incite division, and I intended to publicly execute them.

– If you’re wronged, put up a new picture, lol.

– If you really don’t post, everyone’s gonna die!!!

I took down one troublemaker…

And suddenly, divisive and hateful posts began to be deleted rapidly within the gallery.

The priest, who had been demanding chastity with veins bulging in his neck, turned out to be a furry.

What sort of contradiction is this, akin to a backup dancer at a funeral?

“But this isn’t enough…”

The church wasn’t rotten from the start.

Purity, restraint, sharing, and virtue were its original doctrines, and in its early years, the church upheld these principles.

It was just that as time passed and the world twisted, so did the church.

Due to the contradictions arising from this, exposing their IP activity records might be fatal, but it was relatively less so for the cultists.

– How does it feel?

– Devoted Member of the Cultists Fan Club) Just feels like it?

– Devoted Member of the Cultists Fan Club) (Meme of a furry seductively posing)

– What.

– No.

Cultists were never ashamed to begin with.

Whether it was commissioning adult content or serving the gods (or not), their doctrines were as open as the gallery.

Instead, when I attempted to take them down, they humbly accepted it, reaching a level of understanding.

– This is all a trial from the god…

– This too shall pass.

– The trials bestowed upon me by the god. I shall endure!

No, what the heck? These guys can’t be serious about being pious and devoted after being caught lusting over furries?

“Hmm…”

This wasn’t in my script.

I couldn’t come to terms with this.

Especially since that was the nature of me as Head of the Gallery.

“You too, right, John Malfight?”

“As tough as a rock.”

The persona of John Malfight, a citizen of Kellierhton, also couldn’t come to terms with this.

In the end, I decided to unleash one final killer move.

I drafted a new announcement.

[Announcement: I will reveal my gender.]

(A gaming meme showing an awkwardly contorted muscle-bound figure)

I’m a guy, lol.

[Recommended: 500] [Not Recommended: 9999+]

– No way!!!!!!!!!

– This cannot be happening!!!!!

– Ah!!! Damn it!!!

– Please, tell me it’s a lie! Please, tell me it’s a lie! Please, tell me it’s a lie! Please, tell me it’s a lie! Please, tell me it’s a lie!

– Heee… I knew it all along!

– Head of the Gallery, when are you coming back to the Rabbit Hole…? ^^

The gallery fell into utter chaos.
