Chapter 103
Chapter 103
Upon arriving at the hotel, the CCTV recognized the faces of Laura and Shina. The AI confirmed that there were no issues and opened the front door.
They parked the car in the parking lot. Naturally, Laura assigned the task of carrying the luggage to Shina, then leisurely entered the hotel.
“Welcome.”
Just then, Changyoung greeted them.
“I’ve brought today’s supplies.” “Thank you as always. Please come this way.”
Changyoung casually guided them along. Inside the hotel, they could see glimpses of other streamers as well.
“Is Shina-senpai here?” “...Why are you all following me?” “We’re curious! You’re preparing the ingredients, right?” “If you’re just going to watch, then come help! Aurora made me carry this! Is it reasonable to make a senpai do all this?” “Well, it’s only fitting to boss Shina-senpai around.” “Are you crazy!? I’m the senpai! Huh!”
Shina exploded in anger.
A few VTubers trailed closely behind her. There were some from SerenadeKR, others from different companies, and even some independent VTubers.
Regardless of the company, Shina had long since been overshadowed by her juniors.
It wasn’t just Laura; she was seen as an easy target by almost all her juniors. After all, she was a VTuber with the setting of a demon god. There was no dignity whatsoever.
This hotel was named 'The Last Stronghold of the Republic of Korea.'
The name sounded grand, but in reality, it was simply where all the Korean streamers participating in the Revenge Server had gathered.
The mistake made during the previous streamer advertisement server was that the streamers couldn’t cooperate with each other.
So, for this Revenge Server, they actively utilized the survivor search function of the fire department. This way, they managed to gather the scattered streamers in one place.
‘I live outside the hotel, though.’
For reference, Laura and Shina did not stay at the hotel.
Their roles were to supply food. So, they had deliberately set up their spot near a fishing area after leaving the hotel.
Shina didn’t like the fact that she had to leave the hotel, but what could she do? From the beginning, she had no authority.
Every day, they would catch fish, lay traps in the mountains to capture wild animals, and set up traps in the river to hunt for freshwater shrimp.
The food they gathered was distributed to the people living in the hotel. In return, they received supplies like cash or weapons.
It could be considered a fairly systematic division of labor.
However, there was one problem.
“I wish everyone would at least learn how to prepare ingredients soon.”
This was Laura’s complaint.
“We’d like to do that too....”
As she said this, Eleonora gently comforted Laura.
Next to Noah stood Jeongseok, both wearing reluctant expressions.
They were in the kitchen.
Laura had stored the ingredients she brought in the kitchen storage, and normally, her mission would end there. After all, her role was strictly that of ‘ingredient supplier.’
“How is it that there isn’t a single person who knows how to clean fish or prepare meat?” “...Isn’t it much rarer to find modern people who know how to do that?” Noah replied timidly.
Surprisingly, among the streamers living in this hotel, there wasn’t a single person who could decapitate a live fish, nor anyone who could skin wild animals.
[Seventeen-year-old Subaru’s life-threatening organ donation: 1,000 won donated.]
[Did you work at a butcher shop?]
Although she received strange misunderstandings, she could only manage the preparation.
She knew how to take out the organs but making delicious dishes from them was not Laura's job. And right now, what Laura needed to do was skin the boar.
Of course, it would take a very long time to completely skin a single wild boar.
So she planned to do a demonstration and leave the rest to the others.
“This is how you do it. You think you can manage?” “...Are we really supposed to do this?” “Can’t you do it?”
Jeongseok looked horrified.
Toward the terrified Jeongseok, Laura gently asked. Her voice didn’t sound hostile at all.
The problem was that Laura was holding a knife.
Of course, she had to hold a knife to prepare the ingredients.
But looking at those glinting eyes made Jeongseok fear that he might get stabbed any moment.
“I-I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it... but it’s just too difficult....” “Then practice.” “Y-Yes...?” “Bring it over, Shina.”
When Laura called, Shina sighed and stepped out.
And once again, she struggled to bring another wild boar along with Changyoung.
“Today, we were lucky and caught two wild boars.”
Laura smiled brightly.
In this way, I successfully reconciled with the SerenadeKR VTubers. They seemed really pleased with everything I taught them.
'Well, I probably won’t have many opportunities to participate in the Revenge Server.'
Unlike the streamer advertisement server, I didn’t have an environment where I could take the lead.
After all, I was just a mercenary. I was feeling that quite strongly.
Right now, I was tasked with food supply and ingredient preparation, but as time went on, my workload would likely decrease.
Soon, there would come a moment when they could supply food steadily without my help, and by then, I’d probably stop entering the Revenge Server.
After all, I could enjoy Aseer Sal enough in the 'streamer advertisement server' as well.
'These days, everyone hasn’t been logging in much.'
With Rion back at work, she hadn’t been able to play Aseer Sal. Sora logs in occasionally, but not as regularly as before. It seemed she was busy these days.
Ainatsu still lives in our house, so I can call her anytime.
But Ainatsu still prioritizes her own streams over Aseer Sal. Until I call her, she wouldn’t feel the need to log in to Aseer Sal herself.
Since I received a promotion, I’ll keep playing consistently in the future, but right now, I felt like I was engaging in survival activities alone.
If progress is made in the game, I’m sure we’ll all gather again then.
As Aseer Sal entered a lull period──that’s when she showed up.
“I’m here to play! Let me sleep over! And feed me!”
She declared herself human trash the moment she arrived.
Shiroki Anna had come to my house.
