Chapter 161


Warning: Rear Alert!

In just a few seconds, Shia’s body was exposed, and countless clips flew into the genre hunter gallery. Shia, looking like the very embodiment of the word “lewd,” provoked profound human emotions.

Slurp!

As she raised her arms, her clothes began to ooze away like slime. Although I know nothing about science, it seemed like they were melting away like magma, suggesting a remarkable level of acidity.

  

“This is unexpected…”

As a hunter streamer, I’ve become accustomed to unforeseen events occurring at any moment. Dungeons and monsters are still unexplored realms for humanity. It wouldn’t be strange for bizarre gimmicks to pop up or even dungeons where mating was required to escape. But, it’s all good.

I have confidence in my body. No matter if I broke my neck, got roasted in flames, fell into a sea of magma, or found myself in a vacuum, I was sure I would come out alive.

Creeeak…!

‘But really, it’s not like this is some RPG where only my clothes melt away…’

But it’s cool. It’s been 64 years since I became a mangja seongnyeo. Reacting like “Kyaaa! Perverts!” over flashing a little skin is way past that phase.

I’m 85 after all. Even though I’m assessed as 21 mentally, the experiences I’ve had and my familiarity with this body are still there.

More than worrying about my clothes melting, I was concerned about whether Olga might get hurt from any outbursts or fights, but it seems she’s unharmed.

“………….Wow…”

As expected, Olga was staring at my body with a pretty flushed face, unable to tear her gaze away. Menelapie beside her looked alright too, so ultimately just my clothes got a little torn, right?

No one was hurt! Even the Seonjo remains intact, so we can cook the meat properly. But, Menelapie’s expression showed something intense…

KABOOM!!!

”Huh?!”

In that moment, the drone camera filming me was hit by a stone thrown by Menelapie and shattered to bits.

Oh, no…

That drone… The installment plan isn’t even done yet… Ugh…

No, it’s not just an installment; that drone isn’t even mine. It was a gift from the Hunter Association, watching over me while providing support for returnees thanks to Director Choi Bomi of the Returnee Management Bureau.

She convinced the Hunter Association to gift it to me, and now… instead of just tilting the camera, she completely obliterated it…

“SHIA!!!”

Of course, I understand Menelapie’s reaction. My clothes melted completely on a live broadcast streaming to thousands. From her perspective, it’s completely horrifying and infuriating.

But it’s fine. That drone provided by the Hunter Association was cutting-edge AI tech with unidentified features not yet available on the market. It could automatically adjust filters. It would create cutesy renditions of violent mosaics or faces of unapproved viewers and hide grotesque monsters like SD characters.

Not only that, but for viewers, it created perfectly scripted action sequences as if watching an action movie, so I’ve been indebted to that drone camera.

“Shia! Shia! Are you okay?! Is your body…?!”

“Body?”

I think I might have startled Menelapie the most out of everyone, even though Olga and the viewers were a little surprised too.

I should first reassure Menelapie. I turned my body side to side and raised my arms.

Wow, it completely melted my clothes. I never imagined they would be erased without a trace, like tissue paper in water.

If I had cast purification miracle quickly, it might have been fine, but I’m human too; I guess I panicked at an unexpected situation like my clothes melting off.

Still, I felt no pain, and I figured there wouldn’t be any wounds or melted skin. In fact, it felt like my skin was, oddly enough, smoother after coming into contact with such a high-acidity liquid.

Hmm, hmm…

Hey, it’s all fine. I mean, even I can see that my body is perfect.

“Yep, as you can see, I’m totally fine.”

But it was a shame my clothes were so good, and they melted without leaving a trace.

“In general, you don’t consider it fine when your clothes completely vanish! Come here!”

Saying that, Menelapie energetically wrapped her coat around me. I didn’t forget to cast a purification miracle over my body before her hand touched.

I can’t let residual internal fluids from the Seonjo contaminate me through her hands. However, using the miracle only eliminated the acidity of the slimy liquid; the liquid itself still remained, and the coat Menelapie put on me got a little slimy.

Maybe I need to take a bath later.

“Hahaha, Menelapie, are you already obsessed with me? Really, I’m fine!”

“No one is okay with having their clothes completely vanish!”

Still, while I was okay, Menelapie’s face looked like she was about to burst into tears. She didn’t need to be that intense about it…

“It’s okay, Menelapie. The broadcast has filters, so the viewers can’t see anything important, right?”

“Even so, you need to value your body more… Didn’t you fight on the front lines even when you knew you wouldn’t get hurt, taking arrows for soldiers during the war with the Demon King? And be quiet. You’re moving too much; the buttons are about to pop.”

“…………”

It seems I unintentionally pressed some trigger for Menelapie.

Menelapie has often gotten rattled about me… Even during her days as an Emperor, which she took seriously, it seems her temperament has grown over the years as she’s focused on me without the responsibilities of an Emperor involved.

While it might be objectively true that my body is quite beautiful, well, looking won’t wear it down…

“Shia, didn’t you always say this… Value your body a little more.”

“I do value it in my way…. Plus, looking doesn’t wear it down, right?”

“Ah! Have you forgotten the incident where you foolishly showed your precious body because of that wicked and lewd black witch?! And you’ve always been this way! Even if it was during a war, do you know how shocked I was seeing you toss bloody clothes around carefreely in front of soldiers and men?!”

“Wait, why are you bringing that up all of a sudden!? Olga’s here too! And I’ve changed a lot since then…”

“No, you haven’t changed at all! If I look away for just a moment…!”

While talking, it seems Menelapie got so emotionally charged she bit her lip.

It was her habit. When angry or overly excited, she tries to calm down by biting her lip.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to blame you… I just got surprised by the suddenness of it all.”

“No worries.”

Looking at Menelapie’s face, it seems like I might have done something wrong after all.

Maybe she’s been concerned not just about today but also about my nonchalance towards my body for a long time, growing increasingly worried.

To be honest, since she’s lived a long time in the previous world, she may have disapproved of my doing a broadcast exposing myself to a bunch of unknown humans.

Really, it seems she’s surprisingly adapted to this modern world and has been quite understanding…

Menelapie buttoned up her coat and then took a step back once she cleared away the liquid from my face and body one by one.

But since it’s not an excessively long coat, it only barely covers my chest while my lower area is barely concealed.

I felt a little… no, quite weird about it.

I mean, during the war against the Demon King, no one worried for my body this much but Menelapie.

“I’ll also apologize, Menelapie. Even though I know what you think about me, I keep being insensitive about it. I guess because my body is like this, I tend to become numb to it.”

I seem to live normally, but times I feel human are quite few.

I guess even my often excessive food consumption is just to feel alive.

No, honestly, this shouldn’t be a situation for both of us to apologize and get so worked up… Even though we’ve been close for a long time, we still find reasons to get mad over trivial things.

It’s said that the closer you are to family or those around you, you shouldn’t let your guard down when it comes to words or actions.

“I’ll definitely be more careful next time, so don’t worry.”

“I understand…”

“By the way, sisters…”

“Huh? What’s up, Olga?”

At that moment, Olga, who seemed hesitant to chime in, spoke in a timid voice.

Olga was pointing at a corner of the underground cavity, looking at me.

“The Seonjo meat you caught… It’s melting over there, you know?”

“Huh…?”

Turning my gaze in the direction Olga pointed, I saw the head of the shattered Shiplani Seonjo melting into the ground.

Ah, that’s right.

The internal fluids that Seonjo spewed were indeed strongly acidic enough to melt rock originally. But usually, it was protected by mana or perhaps its malevolent nature. Otherwise, the semi-ethereal physical traits wouldn’t allow it to melt.

Now that it’s completely a corpse, the body is blending into the slime-like internal fluids like sugar in water.

“AHHHHH!!! Nooo!!!”

In a rush, I jumped into the now swampy mixture of liquefied rock.

Forget about the clothes! The meat is what’s important!!

I can’t eat meat that’s melted and mixed with the rock!!

“Shia?!”

Sorry, Menelapie! But the meat is more important!!!

Ah, I should have taken off the coat before jumping in…

…No, I should have just used a tentacle from a distance instead…

As I dived into the swamp, I finally realized that Menelapie’s effort of buttoning up my coat to keep it from being messed up was unnecessary.

What good is a good body if I’m not thinking straight…

○○○○

[??]

[?]

[What was that?]

[Why did the screen go black??]

[What’s happening??]

[Shit, this is the critical part!]

[What is going on???]

[What is it… ]

[Show me too!]

[Please show me too…]

[No, shit for real… ]

[Where’s mom? Where’s mom? Where’s mom? Where’s mom? Where’s mom? Where’s mom? Where’s mom?]

[I’m cold… I’m cold… I’m cold… I’m cold… I’m cold… I’m cold…]

The broadcast cut off just before a crucial moment, leaving Shia’s chat window full of chaos and desire, transforming into a playground for degenerates.

While many viewers wanted to see Shia’s pure and clean appearance even at the cost of a ban, the screen suddenly turned black just before they could, making it seem that their only chance vanished.

However, even that was significantly impactful.

In fact, the tantalizing near-exposure of Shia was shockingly provocative.

[Today, the gallery master has come out with lewd pics!!!](4292)

ㄴLikes: 4833

[Situation Explanation: While hunting Shiplani in the dungeon, slipped on the liquid it spat and in an instant, the gallery master’s clothes melted off completely.

But the broadcast ended just before it melted entirely. The warrior might have broken the drone with them nearby.

For details, check the clip!]

[Whoa!]

[Shit;]

[It’s just a little melted, but it’s incredibly lewd.]

[LOL, as if the important parts were covered, LOL.]

[Wow…]

[Is that… for real..?]

[That’s not Shiplani anymore. That’s Goddess Rani.]

ㄴ[For real, that’s Goddess Rani.]

ㄴ[Today, just for today, it’s Goddess Rani, LOL.]

ㄴ[Goddess Rani, what the hell, LOL.]

Even though Shia didn’t know it, because the drone camera mistook the liquid that melted her clothes as clothing, the recognition filter failed to operate.

If only Menelapie had left the drone camera alive for just 5 more seconds, the world would have witnessed Shia returned to the essence of nature, akin to Mother Mountain.

[Whoa!]

[Shit; today is that day.]

[Totally lewd as hell;]

[Wow… Normally she just partially shows off such impressive legs or barely reveals the side of her chest, which is why it was frustrating, but damn… ]

ㄴ[I really want to squeeze those thighs like crazy, shit;]

[Wow, for real, no bra; shit;]

ㄴ[? For real.]

ㄴ[Not just no bra? From how her clothes melted, isn’t she also wearing no panties?]

ㄴ[What the hell, LMAO.]

ㄴ[How do you know that???]

ㄴ[If she wore underwear, at least some form would remain when her outer clothes melted. Since the outer fabric melted first, it means, logically, if nothing was left underneath, she was always wearing no panties and no bra.]

ㄴ[Shit, LOL.]

ㄴ[What a pro, LOL.]

In this way, countless lewd clips of Shia’s near-revealing moments quickly flooded the genre hunter gallery…

Crack!

“Who are these people…”

Meanwhile, Yeonhwa, who was watching Shia’s stream at home for the first time in a while, froze the blanket covering her the moment she saw the thread exploding in the gallery.

These perverted scumbags… Should I just gather them all for court?

Ah, no… Shia is lenient with her viewers too… If I take matters into my own hands, she might be really troubled.

After all, she’s kind, so she might forgive them…

sigh…

With a deep breath, she headed towards Yeonju, the administrative officer of the Yeon family.

“Yeonju, sis.”

“Ah, miss? Why the sudden call…?”

“Look at this.”

Yeonhwa showed Yeonju her smartwatch to let her view the current state of the genre hunter gallery.

It was pure chaos.

The threads with Shia’s tantalizing clips and images occupied more than three pages of the gallery.

“Please delete all of this.”

“…Ah, yes.”

“I trust only you, Yeonju.”

After giving a quick glance at how Yeonhwa disappeared through the door, Yeonju opened the genre hunter gallery on her smartwatch.

“…….Hmm, this is quite the predicament…”

Well, it’s truly disappointing…

But since it’s the Miss’s request, there’s no other way.

Reluctantly, Yeonju started hitting a few keys on the computer and smartwatch to summon someone.

“Ah, this is the head of the genre hunter gallery? Why did you call? It seems we need to delete all the threads occupying the gallery right now.”

[○○○○○○○○○○?!]

“Yes, yes. My masters are furious. Ah, you don’t want to? Then do you want to at least collaborate? I heard both Yeonseo and Shia are live right now.”

  

[…○○○○○○○…]

“Okay, should’ve just said that from the beginning. For how long? The sooner, the better. Just wipe it out.”

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.”

It hadn’t even been 20 minutes since Yeonhwa visited Yeonju, and Shia’s lewd images disappeared entirely from the genre hunter gallery and the internet.

But just before Shia’s images vanished completely from the world, Yeonju clicked “Save As…” with no ulterior motives.

Just a few screenshots remain as evidence, just in case.
