Chapter 137


It’s a story from over 60 years ago.

In the ‘previous world,’ Shia had held Menelapie’s hand and decided to fight against the Demon King together.

However, while living in the Royal Palace, Shia suddenly realized something new.

“The language… is different…?”

  

Whenever she wanted to read books, she visited the Library. And when she encountered other maids besides Menelapie, she realized that the language of this world was not Korean.

“I have to learn the language from the beginning.”

Hmph…

In her previous life, she had luckily done well on the college entrance exam and gotten into a good university, but that was truly just luck, and Shia inherently disliked studying, so learning a new language was a bit of a headache.

“But, I didn’t have any issues when talking to Menelapie…? What’s going on?”

The first person that Shia met in this new world and had a conversation with was Menelapie.

Even without verbal communication, they understood each other. Just by looking into each other’s eyes, they comprehended everything.

It wasn’t a prophecy, but Menelapie was someone who acted as if anything she accomplished was bound to happen.

Later, after defeating the Demon King, Teresa studied and researched Menelapie’s abilities, revealing that her absurd comprehension and analysis skills were actually the power of a hero.

“To put it simply, the identity of the Emperor’s strange power is analysis.”

“Analysis?”

Menelapie Haleum is a hero.

Whether she was chosen by the gods or by the world itself hasn’t been fully revealed, but anyway, she is a hero.

Where there is a hero, there are naturally companions and party members like the saintess and the witch, and in Yujin’s case, there’s also Olgania, the warrior and vanguard.

Anyway, heroes and their parties are granted special abilities in addition to their innate skills.

In the case of Yujin, a hero from another world, he was granted a reality-altering ability that could turn lies into truth.

Yeonseo, who could be said to be the hero from Earth, had a powerful ability to freely control and distort space, and even specify coordinates to teleport at will.

However, the abilities that Menelapie built up through her hard work and training were indeed human achievements.

As a hero, the only thing she was born with was the ability known as ‘Golden Eye.’

“The analysis has various categories like understanding, observation, and detection, and that Emperor first understands the will of a person he’s never met before and predicts invisible attack routes; this is a force completely separate from existing mana or divine power. The original analysis was artificially created by ancient wizards who sought to explore the essence of things and is fundamentally different from the human will…”

“Ugh… Just put it simply.”

“Come on, if it were the usual, I would have to stay up all night…”

“Okay, because it’s you, I’ll summarize it for you.”

“To speak broadly, Menelapie’s Golden Eye can be regarded as immediate analysis of something recognized. While the process of gaining feedback, knowledge, and information from this can be innate, the same cannot be said for the instant interpretation, comprehension, and acceptance of that information, as that’s simply because that Emperor has a better brain.”

“So… does that mean even if I have that ability, it’s useless…?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Our Shia is pretty sharp today.”

“You probably can’t use it freely all the time. Just like a person can’t forcibly stop their heart, controlling that Golden Eye isn’t easy either. In any case, rather than understanding objects, it should be said it comprehends everything recognized. It has no attacking capability, but as a supportive utility and situational assessment ability, it’s quite overpowered, as you can analyze attack routes, weak points, and combat methods and instantly assess the battlefield, even in a grand-scale war.”

If it’s possible to analyze and apply through the Golden Eye, one could see the opponent’s movements, responses, attacks, and so on. Even if Menelapie’s strength is lesser than the Demon King’s, the reason they could fight evenly until Shia returned from the Gongheo Gungjeon was precisely because of that Golden Eye.

“All attack routes are visible, and Menelapie has the physical ability to slip through them… Isn’t that almost like future foresight? While it’s actually far from true foresight.”

While it lacks glamor, there’s no doubt it’s a perfect ability for a hero.

Well, anyway, glamorous and attacking are things Menelapie built upon through her own work and training, so that’s not an issue.

○○○○

And in the year 2088.

Menelapie Haleum, having come to Earth in search of Shia, was able to make good use of her hero’s ability, the Golden Eye.

She didn’t consciously use the analysis through the Golden Eye; it was almost like an innate passive ability. However, Menelapie’s proficiency with modern cooking tools, seasonings, and ingredients was chiefly due to the Golden Eye, allowing her to blend seamlessly into the world of Earth and the Hunter Era, thanks to the supreme analytical capabilities of that Golden Eye.

And at this very moment, Menelapie had never powered up the Golden Eye to this extent in her entire lifetime.

No, she wasn’t just powering it up; she was causing it to explode like an active volcano.

“..What? M-Mene…”

While Shia was flustered, the murderous intent encased within Menelapie’s Golden Eye was no joke.

What did the Emperor’s Golden Eye target?

Of course, it was the Drone Camera.

More precisely, it was the streaming screen with a chat saying ‘Hero Party Shared Toilet’ directed at Shia.

And it was aimed at the human who typed that chat.

Crackle, crackle…!

Menelapie’s golden eyes shone brighter than ever.

No, rather than shining, sparks made of aura flew out from her eyes.

“Understood.”

She understood what the broadcast Shia mentioned was.

Countless humans far away were coming to catch a glimpse of Shia as she appeared on that screen, broadcasting to unspecified masses.

And it wasn’t hard to analyze and predict why Shia was broadcasting.

The dead saintess always smiled brightly, but she was a child who felt loneliness deeply.

It was the same back in the previous world; it would be the same coming back to this Earth.

How lonely had she been, having completely left her original world and losing her connections?

Just as Menelapie had yearned for Shia in the previous world, Shia must have been missing Teresa and Menelapie and suffered from loneliness.

Even when having meals, she thought it was lonely eating alone. If Menelapie or Teresa were busy, she’d grab any member of the Rose Church or any saintess to eat with.

Even apart from that, Shia had been the child who wanted to grab the passing villagers to eat together.

This play called broadcasting must have been started by Shia to comfort her loneliness somehow.

“Yes, I understood the broadcast.”

She understood the countless viewers watching the broadcast and their chat.

Surely, there would be those charmed by Shia’s appearance or those praising her power, gathering in droves.

Of course, she understood that broadcasting was inherently entertainment like a clown wearing a mask and playing, and clowns ultimately break down and make others laugh; she considered Shia being broken as well.

“What? Menelapie is also ready to get a bit broken for Shia’s broadcast!”

Anyway, in this Earth, she was not an emperor but Shia’s hero; there was nothing wrong with putting on a clown show for Shia with a carefree mind.

So she thought.

“But what? Shared toilet of the hero party???

This wretched,

This vile,

This damned,

This infuriating,

Bloody hell?

How dare you!

My dear friend,

The saintess I cherish,

More precious than my life,

My light.

What?

Shared toilet for the hero party?

Are you saying Shia is a whore who offers her body to the masses?

How dare you?

How dare you?

How dare you?

How dare you?

How dare you?

This damned son of a bitch!!!!

“M-Mene, calm down! Calm down!”

“No, I can’t calm down! I swear on my Emperor’s name, I shall slaughter that bastard completely!!!”

[What kind of broadcast is this??]
[What is it? Show us too]
[The streamer has abandoned us lol]
[Mother, abandon me? Mother, abandon me? Mother, abandon me? Mother, abandon me? Mother, abandon me?]
[No way lol The streamer is awkward lol]
[Is the camera looking from behind?]
[If it’s a streamer, then certainly she’s a stunning beauty]
[For real lol]
[Whew lol]
[Shit, damn chatters, stop it please]
[But the streamer is clearly a beautiful lady, right?]
[lol]
[But what’s with the emperor? What concept is this lol]
[No, seriously, what the hell is this lol]

The broadcast, of course, only showed an empty sofa because Shia had rushed over to stop Menelapie.

However, with the crackling of electricity and Shia desperately trying to stop Menelapie, and Menelapie shouting her lungs out, the viewers couldn’t keep up with what was happening and let their imaginations run wild.

[Menelapie? Who is that?]
[Wowwwww found them in the Returnee Management Bureau.]
[Is she a returnee??]
[Photo?]
[No photo, but just a name on the returnee list: Menelapie Haleum.]
[Is she a foreigner?]
[From how it looks, she’s probably a returnee type who lost her memory.]
[Really?]
[Her voice is so damn good, she’s definitely a stunning beauty.]
[Well, the fact that she’s with the streamer shows she’s probably high class?]
[Wow, Menelapie is so beautiful, her voice is amazing…]
[Please give me more…]

Even in this situation, the viewers continued to chatter about wanting to see Menelapie’s face.

Of course, they had no idea.

How terrifying a furious Menelapie could be, truly enraged.

And that her Golden Eye was slowly completing an analysis linked to the internet through the drone, and the individual IP addresses connected to it, and analyzing the vile bastards who sexually mocked Shia in the chat.

“M-Mene, stop! Stop!”

Shia desperately jumped around trying to cover Menelapie’s eyes with her hands, but it was insufficient to stop Menelapie, who was this furious.

“IP addresses…? Those invisible, intangible communication networks connected to real addresses…. The address and terrain of this place could easily be searched using a smartwatch.”

“Good, I see it. I can see you… Wait for it, just wait there…!”

Analysis completed…10…9, 8, 7, 6…

Ding Dong~

Suddenly, the sound of a doorbell interrupted Menelapie’s Golden Eye.

The concentration was broken by the unexpected noise.

“…….
“Phew, phew…. Oh, Mom must have come…”

It seemed like Yoonjeong had returned after taking Yane for a walk.

Although she hadn’t expected her to return this early, it was a relief Menelapie had calmed down, who had intended to track down the viewer and really bring the dude back.

“You guys… Wait a second… Did someone come for me in reality…? Aaaah! Menelapie, why are you pulling out your sword?!”

And before opening the door for Mom, Shia asked the viewers to hold on for a bit, while Menelapie rushed toward the door with the sword drawn without giving Shia a chance to stop her.

“There were no footsteps.”

Menelapie had sensed it.

In this house.

She had sensed the presence of someone approaching Shia’s sanctuary for quite a while. If it had been Yoonjeong or Yane pressing the doorbell, they should have at least made some noise or footsteps outside first, gradually becoming clearer.

Yet, there had been no sign or sound at all before someone suddenly appeared out of thin air and pressed the doorbell, causing Menelapie to feel a sense of danger and tightly grip her sword, ready to unleash her aura.

“Ah, Shia, it’s been a while but…”
“Who are you.”
“Huh?”

With blue hair marked like a bridge among pure white hair.

“She resembles that girl, Yeonhwa… Is she a relative of hers?”

Menelapie recognized the woman’s appearance and the blue hair resembling Shia’s friend, Yeonhwa, whom she had seen at the Returnee Management Bureau before.

And after calming the chat room, Shia came to the door to see another familiar face who had come to visit her.

“Uh, uhh… Yeonseo Unnie?”

Yeonseo, who had been very busy with matters in China and above, had come to visit.

●●●●●

Then, shortly after…

Thud!
“Is that the vile one you were searching for?”

“Eek…!”

With a snap of Yeonseo’s fingers, a seemingly normal man wearing a headset was caught dangling from one of her hands.

The man had a look of disbelief and shock plastered across his face showing half that he couldn’t believe it, and the other half expressing sheer terror.

“What the hell… What the hell is going on!?!?”

Although he was bewildered inside, the man couldn’t say a word.

While just home playing games and watching the gallery master’s stream, he never anticipated being forced into such a collaborative content!

And then….

“…Unfortunately, it’s not this one.”

“…Crazy.”

“What the hell?”

As the man scanned up and down at the tall blonde woman, he froze as if he had met Medusa’s gaze.

First of all, she was beautiful.

Of course, the man, who frequently watched Shia’s streams featuring the gallery master, knew that Shia was a beautiful and strong woman.

However, in this case… the blonde woman in front of him completely exuded a different aura.

The gallery master had a soft, fluffy vibe.

While the gallery master was tall, she had an overall gentle and warm impression with soft and fluffy skin, while the blonde woman radiated the essence of raw, powerful, violent beauty.

With her towering height, the toned muscle, abs, and explosive thighs that showed even through her clothing.

And she had huge mommy milkers that would outshine the gallery master.

As everything combined, the man was utterly captivated by the beauty before him.

Despite this, he had to forcibly snap back to reality.

“That guy is the one who typed ‘Shia’s titty baby.’”

“Huh….?”
“W-How did you know…?!”

As he turned to look back at the person holding his nape, he saw Shia shyly waving at him with her face covered by her hands.

“Wow, in real life, she’s absolutely beautiful… and so… big… No, no… Am I in trouble now…!?

While he was perplexed, he suddenly realized the madness of the situation he was in.

“Oh.”

“We are doing a viewer collaboration.”
“And…”
“A forced viewer collaboration…”

What I’m looking for is the bastard who typed ‘Hero Party Shared Toilet.’

“Hmm, it seems that I have a lot of little ones here, so it’s kind of confusing.”
[Hahaha]
[What the hell, haha!]
[Is this a viewer collab?????]
[Yeonseo in the house, haha!]
[Forced collab, haha!]

As it turned out, while Yeonseo had used the latest drone, obtained by bullying the administrator, to track the viewers’ IP addresses and find real coordinates and addresses…

“The next one is 14.2.2.342.142. Gyeonggi Province, Icheon City, Sinhean-dong 142-2312. Yongma Villa 291, two people inside. It’s the shorter male.”

“Oh, got it.”

However, it seems Menelapie didn’t even need to do that.

Thud!

“Eek! What, what the hell!? I’m sorry!!”

“Then is this guy it?”
“No. This guy is just the foolish kid who uttered nonsensical babble.”
“Eek!”
[???]
[Holy;;;]
[Public execution, lol]
[Haha]
[Holy shit, this is horror]
[Wow, for real forced collaboration, haha!]
[Yeah, I didn’t say anything, haha!]
[Keyboard warrior refunding, right?]
[For real, the chat’s firepower dropped like crazy, haha!]

For context, Menelapie had an awareness filter, so viewers wouldn’t see the actual faces of Menelapie and Yeonseo with the captured viewers exposed; instead, they were presented as 2D characters with some distortion applied.

Shia, who had ended up unwittingly doing a forced viewer collab, was extremely embarrassed by the current situation.

Why, you ask?

Thud!

“Then what about this one?”
“Eek?!”
“…This guy isn’t a mat but just someone who typed ‘BoBim’ in the chat.”

[Haha BoBim, lol]
[BoBim got owned, haha!]
[This broadcast is so damn funny, haha!]

Now, she’s proudly speaking those words; how could she not be embarrassed?

Even with Shia’s iron face, she couldn’t keep up with the absurd chaos from Menelapie.

“M-Mene, Menelapie… Yeonseo Unnie…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Hehe, what’s going on, Shia?”
“I-I think… it’s okay now… C-Could we stop…?”

Even though it was a concept broadcast… she was genuinely embarrassed…

  

“Oh! Shia, you must teach these vile ones a proper lesson!”
“That’s right, Shia. If you’re so kind, the Black Witch will say such things about you when she sees you!”
“…Eek?!”

Shh.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
“If you don’t want to be part of the collab, shush.”
[For real haha, just spam “kekek”]
[For real haha]
[Damn, I’m ready to shout just to prepare for this collab. I want to grope the streamer’s tits too!]
[Is this guy insane?]
*[This crazy bastard, hahaha!]

“Let’s get that guy first.”
“Sounds good.”

Thud!
“Eek?! Where are we… Wow! The gallery master! The gallery master!”
“Quiet!”
“Gack!”

“Enough… enough…..!
“I-I get it now!”

“You two, Menelapie and Yeonseo are just trying to prank me!!!”
