Siya was sad.
If she had lost money she spent or misplaced something she bought, she wouldn’t be this angry or upset.
But, Yeonseo… Yeonseo Unnie…
Yeonseo’s Grandmother had even given her a Hunter Black Card to buy meat for her hungry self, and she lost it in the blink of an eye…
– hahaha
– hahaha
– so funny
– hahaha
– got robbed of meat
– gotta prepare for the meat snatch too, since it was cabbage first…
– hahaha
What does it mean to be a Seongnyeo?
How can I call myself a Seongnyeo when I can’t even protect the meat that Yeonseo’s Grandmother bought for me…
Despair washed over Siya as she slumped over the bench, muttering as she cried.
“… What does it mean to be a Seongnyeo… What does it mean… sniff”
– …?
– Streamer?
– Why are you sniffing?
– Is this something to cry about?
– Is this for real?
Viewers began to panic at Siya’s sudden sobbing.
Siya was known for her unshakeable spirit, never flustered by any mental attacks from the malicious viewers.
Despite her stream being filled with troublemakers every day, they knew she was okay, so they pushed boundaries while having fun.
The nickname ‘Damn Seongnyeo’ stuck to her because of her strong mental fortitude and wide acceptance of others.
So seeing her crumble like this and sobbing on the bench left the audience in shock.
If a pretty girl with big boobs is crying pitifully, even the worst troublemakers can’t bring themselves to say anything harsh.
“sniff… Meat…”
– Don’t cry ;
– Why are you really crying? ;
– Is it that sad?
– Try losing 2 million won worth of meat and see if you don’t cry
– Aren’t you a Hunter? You should have money, right? For you, 2 million is pocket change, right?
– You don’t have friends, do you?
“… I… I’m going to stop being a Seongnyeo from now on.”
– ?
– ??
– ?
As the situation grew increasingly serious, viewers began to worry.
Is she really that heartbroken that she’s going to stop being a Seongnyeo?
Maybe her mental strength isn’t as strong as they thought; perhaps she was just barely holding on to the endless harassment from the viewers, but losing the meat Yeonseo purchased finally broke her resolve?
Followers worried that their beloved Hunter streamer might quit altogether.
“I’m so sorry, everyone… I’m going to stop being a Seongnyeo…”
– No, calm down, streamer.
[‘KawaiiHorned’ donated 100,000 won!]
Take this to calm down a bit.
[‘ChronichWAH’ donated 20,000 won!]
We’re sorry!
[‘Kusotori’ donated 40,000 won!]
Just go get some water or something. You can stop the broadcast; just get a grip…
“sniff… thank you… but I really will stop being a Seongnyeo…”
Countless donations flowed in, but Siya’s sobbing wouldn’t cease.
However, some viewers squinted, noticing that her mouth had twisted into a smile like a Joker as she continued to cry.
Of course, given the serious atmosphere and situation, they thought it was just a trick of the light.
“I… I’m going to stop being a Seongnyeo…!”
– Please calm down.
– Stop it.
– Calm down, streamer.
– Hang in there.
– We’re sorry.
– My bad.
– I might have said some harsh things.
[Miracle – Divine Manifestation]
“So, from now on, I’m going to become the Meat Fairy.”
– ?
– ??
– What?
– ??
– ??
“The donations you all gave will be used to buy valuable sauces for grilling meat.”
[‘Kingstaldthief’ donated 5,000 won!]
Is she trying to pull a fast one?
– ??
– hahaha
– Was this a cash collection time?
– Damn, I thought she was actually crying.
– Wow, this little troublemaker.
– The viewers are troublemakers? If the streamer becomes a troublemaker too, is that really a problem?
– hahaha
– hahaha
– In the end, this battle is my victory for not donating!
Hehe, Menelapie was right.
They say if you cry with this face, any reasonably normal human would grant you almost any request.
But, didn’t she think she’d get some trouble back since she constantly pulled pranks?
“So I’m going to take revenge as the Meat Fairy!”
fwump!!
– What the hell?
– hahaha
– Damn on!
– A fairy… with those motherly features?
– Possible.
With a swift motion, Siya propelled herself into the woods.
With her sensory abilities enhanced by Seongnyeok, she could clearly see the fleeing marks of the meat thieves.
They hadn’t really gotten far.
BOOM!!
As Siya landed in the forest where the meat thieves were, she used her tentacles to climb the trees and survey the area.
Signs of broken branches, tracks like pig hooves, and the disgusting stench of mud and refuse mingled in the air.
Following the scent, Siya gracefully evaded the ground, jumping from branch to branch in pursuit of the thieves.
Mongsters, right?
There’s no way beasts could have snatched her meat that quickly, right?
Some monsters with enough intelligence to set traps likely flowed out of a dungeon.
Besides, not all dungeons were as enormous as the Kurtala Mountains.
The Hunter Association claimed there were many dungeons so small they had no idea they even existed, so it’s not impossible there’s a small Erosion Dungeon nearby, spilling monsters into the outside.
Looking at the footprints… three bipeds?
Soon, Siya spotted one of the creatures rustling through the underbrush as if on reconnaissance.
“….. What?!”
– An orc?
– Why is there an orc there?
– It’s the mountains of Gangwon-do, so it could be there, haha.
– Looks like it’s flowing out of some Erosion Dungeon?
– Really?
Reading the chat, Siya finally realized that the unknown pig-humanoid creature was referred to as an orc.
But, what a sight for an orc…?
Of course, Siya had encountered orcs a few times in the ‘previous world’ as well.
Those orcs were more like nomads such as the Mongols or Huns, not demon army henchmen.
Yet, they were strong and honorable, individuals who never lied.
Orcs, by nature, revered strength and were quite eccentric, but they valued honor in combat and dueling over life itself, with a tendency to be exclusive.
However, if someone respected them, the orcs would reciprocate respect.
Most importantly, the moment someone is recognized for strength, they could form an unbreakable bond of friendship with the orc.
That was the kind of orc Siya was familiar with.
But what’s with that abhorrent flesh?
Even the tentacles attached to Siya’s waist squirmed at the revelation that this grotesque pig-human was an orc.
Was that really an orc? Seriously?
The orc Siya knew had a muscular, firm body all over.
A chiseled chocolate six-pack was the average look, but the pig-human was waddling along with nothing but a mass of fat and blubber.
Their face was not manly at all, looking rather disgusting as if squeezed by some hydraulic press.
Siya, who usually judged others based on appearance, felt it was an exception this time.
That sight was just sickening.
In fact, Siya initially had some intentions of ‘talking’ with them.
If they were intelligent monsters or another race, she might have considered pardoning them.
Heck, even a Bladed Centipede, a monster that adhered faithfully to its instincts, wouldn’t provoke this level of wrath from Siya.
But those beings… they were not the kind she could even remotely empathize with or converse with.
Crack!
“The Meat Fairy has succeeded in revenge!”
– hahaha
– Wow, right off the bat, killing it.
– That orc may be F-grade or maybe D-grade?
– Seeing it didn’t notice the streamer above it suggests that!
– Must’ve set up filters; it’s appearing as SD.
Without hesitation, Siya snapped the orc’s neck.
It didn’t even seem appetizing.
She might as well let the tentacles devour it completely.
Crunch, crunch.
Initially resistant, the tentacles surprisingly found it delicious and began to gobble the orc from head to toe.
But there were still two left.
Where are you? Where are you?
Not behind the bushes.
Not behind the trees.
Ready or not, here I come.
Seems they didn’t even think to hide?
Siya soon spotted the two remaining orcs, oblivious to her presence.
They had their heads buried in a plastic bag, munching away on something.
It was the meat she bought from the butcher.
They didn’t even bother to cook it, treating the purchased meat as garbage… what an insult!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
“What!?”
“Not one of us!”
“Who are you?!”
“… So, it was you?”
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Realizing her meat had been thieved and consumed raw without any taste brought more rage than the theft itself. Siya swiftly captured the orcs with her tentacles.
Honestly, their voices were unappealing too, so she broke their necks immediately.
They were hardly even C-grade; probably more like F-grade.
But from Siya’s perspective, who could kill a wyvern with one punch, the orcs and wyverns appeared equally weak.
“The Meat Fairy has completed her revenge!”
– Revenge is easy, right?
– I will find you!
– I will kill you!
– But what about the meat?
“So, are these monsters outside the dungeon fair game?”
– Yes, yes!
– Yes!
– They were F-grade anyway; they would’ve been hunted down by Hunters soon anyway.
“sigh… But what to do about the meat? I feel like it’ll be inedible since these orcs devoured it all…”
– Just eat them!
“What? What should I eat?”
– Just eat the orc meat!
“… Oh, can we eat this?”
– Google orc meat; you’ll find it right away.
– It’s registered as edible meat by the Hunter Association, yeah.
– But does the streamer know how to dismantle an orc?
“Of course not… but is it really tasty?”
– According to a friend who ate it, they say it’s better than Jeju black pork.
– They claim the samgyeopsal is the best!
“……”
Samgyeopsal….
Thinking back, the tentacles had devoured these creatures deliciously.
The moment they chomped down, their earlier grotesque appearance suggested that there had to be a level of taste worth considering.
Yet, she was powerful, but here without any utensils or ingredients to cook…
“Oh…”
A brilliant idea dawned on her.
Surely Yeonseo Unnie would know what to do!
○○○○○
While Siya went to buy meat, Yeonseo was setting things up to grill outside.
With just a snap of her fingers, tables, chairs, grills, and barbecue sets appeared out of thin air—an astonishing sight familiar to viewers who frequented the [Countryside Retreat Granny Bang] stream.
– Yeonseo! Yeonseo! Yeonseo! Yeonseo!
– Yeonseo Grandma!!!
– Streamer!!!
“Hmm, what is it?”
With the grilling setup complete, Yeonseo turned to the calling viewers.
From the sounds they were making, it seemed they had been quite noisy before prepping for grilling meat.
– Do you know Isia the Hunter?
– Are you buddies with the Damn Seongnyeo?
– Why does the Damn Unnie call Grandma Unnie?
“Damn?”
What’s that about?
Yeonseo glanced at the chat filled with ‘Damn’ and began to consider if she needed to do a ‘viewers group chat’ again, but after reading the context, it seemed it wasn’t a derogatory term but a nickname stemming from someone named Siya.
But still, who thought up such a silly name like Damn Seongnyeo…?
To Yeonseo, Siya had always appeared nothing but a Seongnyeo.
Before getting caught up in the Great Rift, she had indeed been a man, but having lived as a woman for over 60 years, her demeanor had naturally become feminine in every way.
Despite their squabble stemming from a small misunderstanding, Yeonseo still held a very positive impression of Siya.
She seemed to have truly lived life as a Seongnyeo in the ‘previous world.’
Even though she bought the meat, she easily forgave those who attacked her, showcasing a remarkable depth of character.
Furthermore, during the ethical audits conducted by the Returnee Management Bureau, Siya was found to pursue humanity and ethics, even while harboring a monstrous desire for cannibalism or the consuming of malicious entities within her heart.
That alone was admirable and deserving of praise.
Even if that weren’t the case, Siya was a benefactor who saved her granddaughter and the only friend of her once cold granddaughter.
While Yeonhwa wasn’t bothered by bugs, the irony was that the older Yeonseo hated them even more.
Out of curiosity, why had the viewers so readily picked up the term ‘Damn Seongnyeo’?
“The words have gotten out of hand. Siya is such a good child—how can they say mean things about her…?”
– Oh hahaha
– Yeonseo Grandma doesn’t know.
– For real, just laugh it off! hahaha
– For real!
– If you have time, take a look at Isia the Hunter’s Damn Compilation.
“… Damn Compilation?”
While Yeonseo was older, she wasn’t entirely oblivious to the ecosystem of the Hunter community.
She understood streamers would tease their followers or highlight moments from broadcasts, with viewers in turn creating compilations or clips to enjoy when broadcasts weren’t live.
Yet the fact that there was a whole compilation called “Damn Compilation” implied it was rather serious in nature…
With a sigh, though she had no intention of doing another streamer meeting, she did feel that these kids could use a bit of education…
Yeonseo made a mental note to remember the usernames of those who called Siya ‘Damn Seongnyeo’ today.
“By the way, there seem to be a lot of people today.”
Truly, the number of viewers watching Yeonseo’s stream had exceeded 40,000.
Normally, her broadcasts usually attract around 20,000 viewers.
Aside from ‘viewer group chats,’ her content was usually calm and quiet, meaning the thrill-seeking Switch users or Net Runners from the Hunter genre often moved on to other entertaining broadcasts despite even a living legend streaming.
There were many A-grade Hunter streamers who battled fiercely during each broadcast aside from Yeonseo, and the first S-grade among returnees, Yujin, wasn’t frequent, but she too had streams focused on dungeon annihilation as her core content.
Nonetheless, this relatively tranquil broadcast had amassed such a significant audience, likely due to both Yeonseo’s charm and Siya’s entrance having a notable impact.
– How good is that Isia Hunter supposed to be?
– For real, we’re curious about that!
“Her skill? Well… I’ll refrain from commenting on that part. It’ll be revealed eventually.”
– In the galleries, there are many rumors she’s S-grade.
– A few days ago, she even fried a S-grade Centipede Dragon, you know?
– Yeah, they said she captured and ate a Centipede Dragon hiding in the Rotten Mountain.
– I nearly vomited watching that, but when it got fried, it looked delicious. hahaha
“… What?”
Fried what?
For reference, Yeonseo dislikes bugs.
Not that she would scream and panic upon seeing them.
Having stomped countless insect-like monsters into submission over sixty years, she didn’t tremble at the sight of bugs anymore.
However, the innate disgust still lingered.
The more legs those creatures had, the stronger that feeling grew.
Whereas her granddaughter Yeonhwa could face insects without issue, it was ironically Yeonseo who hated insects even more due to her age.
So, what did they say?
That they fried a Centipede Dragon…?
That sickeningly many-legged thing?
“Isn’t that just a massive Bladed Centipede rather than an actual dragon?”
– Yeah, true.
– It’s so big that even the Damn younger sister could fry a leg the size of a chalkboard!
– for real hahaha
– I was shocked watching it.
Initially, Yeonseo thought they were joking, but seeing the audience’s reactions made her realize otherwise.
The idea that Siya had genuinely caught and eaten the upgraded version of a Bladed Centipede was enough to cause a frown to appear on her face, albeit involuntarily.
“…… how on earth do you even eat that?”
Rather than feeling disgust, curiosity and shock overwhelmed her, leaving her speechless.
I must ask her properly when Siya returns.
“Oh.”
At that moment, Yeonseo saw someone passing through the dungeon gate from afar.
While it was a good distance away, with clear air and no obstacles blocking her view, she could tell Siya had returned.
But what was that?
– Huh? Is that meat?
– Something looks big…?
– That’s not green, is it?
– What has she been up to since sending her to get meat?
Something seemed… off.
Did I clearly tell her to get meat, but she’s carrying something huge like a peddler?
As Siya’s figure approached, Yeonseo’s expression turned oddly apprehensive.
– hahaha What did she bring back?
– What is it?
– Damn Seongnyeo grabbed an orc! hahaha
– ?
– ??
– An orc?
– Wait, I told her to get meat, so why is she bringing back an orc???
– Where’s the meat??
– Did she pull off a card heist?
– No way! hahaha She must have been so furious after losing her meat to that orc that she went and kicked its backside instead! hahaha
– What?
– hahaha
– Aha! Today is the funniest day while watching Grandma Yeonseo’s stream!
– Ahh, you don’t know? That’s the essence of ‘Damn’…
– The Damn Seongnyeo has arrived…
Chat was moving upwards rapidly, but Yeonseo didn’t need to see it.
In a minute, the figure of Siya, holding something larger than herself in her tentacles, rushed up to the highlands from the desert.
“Yeonseo Unnie!”
As Siya came closer and revealed what she was carrying, Yeonseo began to realize the meaning behind the viewers’ reference to ‘Damn Seongnyeo.’
“I’m back! It’s orc meat! Orc meat!”
“……”
This kid is truly a troublemaker…
