The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 165: Aftertaste

This is a story that should be told now, after everything has ended, but every faction in Dungeon Seeker has its own characteristics.

For example, the Academy's Occult Research Department provides periodic scholarships. This means you can learn skills for free, which is advantageous for character development.

The Adventurer's Guild offers higher reward amounts for submissions compared to other factions. The Magic Tower allows for access to high-level skills, as its score is higher than other factions.

And lastly, our Holy Church faction, as I mentioned before, is composed of 'holier-than-thou' individuals. They were originally thieves but erased their criminal records by converting to religion. Instead, they ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ take on the roughest tasks.

Therefore, the Holy Church faction has a bit of stealth ability. Their base score is higher than other factions.

"Hey, Aurora! How long are you going to keep following me?!"

Before I knew it, the last day of the Dungeon Seeker promotion had arrived.

I was secretly following Mashina.

"It’s just a coincidence that we’re heading in the same direction." "Go away! You’re interrupting me!" "Interrupting? Aren’t you misunderstanding the meaning of that word? I think it’s more appropriate for you to be thanking me instead." "Ugh!"

Mashina got angry.

It had been a while since I last logged into Dungeon Seeker.

‘A while’ might be a bit of an exaggeration. It’s only been 2 or 3 days since I last logged in.

There wasn’t a particular reason for me logging in today. I just decided to log in since it was the last day of the Dungeon Seeker promotion.

And there, I saw Shina, who was diligently exploring a dungeon, walking ahead of me.

"If you keep interrupting me, you’ll regret it!" "Both of you are wrong, you know."

There was no reason for me to interfere, and there was no way I would die at Shina’s hands.

As soon as I said that, Shina suddenly screeched like a wild animal.

Of course, by ‘wild animal,’ I’m referring to a rabbit or a squirrel. For reference, neither of these animals are known to carry rabies, so you don’t need to be scared if you come across them in the wild.

"You just wait! I’ll definitely turn the tables on the gold!"

Mashina vowed.

About 20 minutes later, 3 out of Mashina’s 5 team members were dead.

"Oh my, Noah is dead. That means your team’s only 'Recovery' class is gone. You can’t resurrect anyone now, right?" "......." "Then you’ll have to end your dungeon exploration here. Do you think you can turn the gold around and win by going back empty-handed? Well, I have a good suggestion for you." "Shut up..." "I’ll revive your team members for a very cheap price. How about 8,000 gold?" "Shut up! Aaaaahhhh!!!"

Shina had a meltdown.

And so, I finished the promotion by following Shina around.

Shina struggled, but she couldn’t close the gold gap. Still, I guess Shina did achieve some sort of satisfaction. It was thanks to me.

Had I not followed her, Shina’s team wouldn’t have been able to complete the dungeon exploration. This was all because I secretly followed her, wasn’t it?

Of course, the gap widened by 16,000 gold every time a team member died, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Anyway.

The final winner of the Dungeon Seeker promotion was our Leviathan.

"Ah, sis, make sure to set the shipping address to the company, just in case."

When I was asked to send the address for the meat delivery, Leon said this.

He said that if I leak my home address, an odd fan might show up. Of course, this time it’s Deadraus Korea sending the gift, but you never know what might happen.

As an extreme example, Leon said, "A Deadraus Korea employee who loves you so much might see the address, quit their job, and start stalking you!"

It was an incredibly far-fetched story, but I decided to be cautious.

‘Actually, I wouldn’t really mind being stalked.’

Or, even if they sent poison or homemade bombs to my house, I’m confident I’d survive.

But I was fine. Leon, on the other hand, probably wouldn’t be.

My cousin is an incredibly fragile person, sadly.

"I get what you’re saying, but unfortunately, I don’t know the company’s address. So, you’ll have to send it yourself."

That’s what I told Leon.

Now that I think about it, I’ve never really gotten the company’s address. I guess I could remember it if I tried recalling the day I signed the VTuber contract. But trying to remember such an old memory is surprisingly tiring.

In any case, I rarely need the company’s address.

That’s probably what being a VTuber is like. Perhaps all remote jobs are somewhat the same.

"Ah, you don’t know the company address. Well, Sora... hmm, even she doesn’t know it."

"Yeah, probably."

"But Sora went home, right?"

Leon asked. Seems like he still hadn’t gotten used to speaking informally with Sora.

Sora, after clearing the mansion dungeon, returned home.

In fact, I think she planned to watch the Gryphon vs. Behemoth match with me this week, but then go back to her house.

-"I think I’ll be busy for a moment."

Sora received some sort of message and left.

She performed really well in the last battle, too.

‘A bit disappointing.’

That’s what I thought.

Rarely, I was lingering in the afterglow of victory. Could it be because the opponent was ‘my past’?

Duke Iris.

Though he was Laura Iris’s father, I had never considered him family. I’m sure Duke Iris never thought of me as his daughter either.

To him, I was just a tool to elevate his authority, one of the sacrificial lambs he planned to offer for immortality.

The psychological warfare I fought with him, hidden beneath the surface, is now, in hindsight, a kind of memory.

I wish I could leave those memories as memories.

Why did the ghost of the past have to show up?

It feels like when you show everyone the old diary you wrote? Or when a prestigious doctor’s old thesis gets exposed?

It’s like exposing a dark history, so it’s actually a bit embarrassing.

It’s all because of that witch.

"Ugh."

Just thinking about the witch made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

After I dealt with Duke Iris, the witch had fled.

The corpse of the dragon knight, who was killed, also disappeared without a trace.

I suppose if I keep playing the rest of Dungeon Seeker’s story, I’ll eventually find out what happened to the witch and the dragon knight.

Honestly, I have a pretty good guess of what happened next. The dragon knight’s corpse probably got up and walked somewhere.

Since I have some idea of the story’s follow-up, I wasn’t too curious.

It was a little embarrassing, but since I buried my dark past once again, it felt a bit exhilarating too.

Now that the promotion is over, I probably won’t be playing Dungeon Seeker for a while.

"Leon."

"Yeah, sis?"

"When the gift from Deadraus Korea arrives, invite Sora over."

I said that.

Leviathan’s dedicated My Room.

This place, built from a cabin base, has a sizable share of Sora’s influence.

It’s not an obvious feature, but Sora is pretty skilled when it comes to construction.

If she played sandbox games like Minecraft or Fanworld, she would have been the best among the 6th batch members. She’s hardworking and the type who puts in effort.

This meeting room was also made by Sora.

There, Sora and Louis were having a one-on-one meeting.

"Alright, then I’ll gather the members."

Louis said right in front of me.

"Thank you...!"

Sora couldn’t help but shout.

Though she had decided to speak informally, the honorifics slipped out instinctively. After all, he was a senior.

"But you didn’t have to outsource the opening video. Doesn’t it cost a lot?" "It might cost a bit, but it’s fine. Plus, with an opening video, the channel looks more impressive." "That’s true. But still, you should tell Kaiser. You don’t need his approval, but he might help you out."

They were talking about this.

Sora had wanted to work on the plans she’d been thinking about since debut.

Though calling it a plan might be a bit too much.

It wasn’t a big broadcast by any means.

She just needed more people, and since Sora hadn’t even been in the business for a year yet, it was unlikely she had many connections.

For this reason, she planned to get cooperation from the senior Louis.

Louis not only had many connections, but also knew most of the participants in the Fantasy League.

So, it would be good to gather people through Louis.

"Here you are."

The door creaked open, and a man entered.

Of course, there were only two men among the Leviathan members.

One was Barubara. The other was Choi Gaho.

And only one of them used honorifics.

"Club president? What brings you here..."

Both Sora and Louis stood up without thinking.

The club president waved his hand, signaling that it was fine, and approached.

"I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation. I saw Sora was online, so I thought I’d come in." "Me?"

"Yeah."

Choi Gaho nodded.

"Sora, let’s practice Labyrinthos together for a while." "What?"

Sora blinked.

"I realized during the last Dungeon Seeker collab. If we want to win the next match, you need to perform well."

Choi Gaho said.
