Chapter 32 – Foot Licker

R​ead on K​atReadi​ng​Cafe

Though he likes feet, the pitiful [Arang’s Foot Licker], who doesn’t have feet himself, approached another user silently and drew a dagger smaller than a one-handed sword.

The user, a Magician, didn’t even notice [Arang’s Foot Licker], much less use defensive or evasive magic, and disappeared into particles, scattering the equipment he had diligently farmed for.

The poor Magician was eliminated without ever knowing what hit him while he was diligently farming.

[Arang’s Foot Licker] quickly picked out the necessary items from the loot and moved on.

Every action was efficient. From skill allocation to erasing his presence and perfectly targeting vital points, it was clear he was a skilled player.

I immediately went to the Leore Log site and searched for [Arang’s Foot Licker].

“Wow, what is this?”

He was ranked first overall among Grim Reapers, an Assassin class. All Raid meters showed him as a top player, an all-star Yellow Tag Dealer.

“He’s not just good; he’s number one in his class.”

“It’s not Horollo; it’s… well, what should I call him now? Anyway, he’s really good. I knew his personality was a bit unique, but to use a nickname like that.”

[Arang’s Foot Licker] used the Assassin class’s characteristics to quickly stir up the battlefield.

This time, [Arang’s Foot Licker] set his sights on a three-person party aiming for the TOP3.

[Arang’s Foot Licker] first ran toward the Knight, who was farming slightly away from the other two.

“Assassinate—!”

Before the Knight could even draw her sword, [Arang’s Foot Licker] entered dagger range and repeatedly stabbed her neck at a speed I could barely follow.

The Knight’s HP vanished in an instant.

The Healer behind her desperately healed, but the Knight, already taking lethal damage, couldn’t break free from the Stun and couldn’t cope with [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s continued attacks, and died.

“Damn it! How is he so fast all of a sudden! How much farming did he even do!”

The man, a Tank, had already lost heart after seeing his comrade, the Knight, die so quickly, but he couldn’t give up and used his ultimate skill.

The Tank activated a wide-range attack, striking down with a huge sword, but was left speechless.

Kaaang!!!

“N, no way!?”

The Tank, blinking in disbelief, screamed when he realized what was happening.

The Great Swordsman used his ultimate skill with a Greatsword, but it was Parried by the Assassin’s short dagger.

Moreover, only the Tank was Stunned.

That would never happen in normal PVP, but this is a Battle Royale. There is graded equipment, and there are extraordinary options.

[Arang’s Foot Licker], having the best farming status after killing countless users, already had a Strength stat stronger than the Great Swordsman, even though he was an Assassin.

That’s why the Parrying was successful, and [Arang’s Foot Licker] abandoned the stunned Tank and immediately ran to the Healer supporting the Tank from behind.

The Healer desperately tried to use protective magic, but [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s speed was much faster.

He couldn’t stop [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s attack, who had already finished farming, and the party was wiped out.

“That person is really amazing…”

Pink Berry, who had been restless about my methods, was also impressed by [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s skills.

People quickly died and were eliminated due to [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s overwhelming skills, and now the TOP10, who really needed to be careful, had been decided.

Seven people remained until TOP3. Just when everyone was trying to be careful and avoid fighting, [Arang’s Foot Licker] raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Black shadows appeared on the necks of all the other users and shoved themselves into their necks.

“Ugh!?”

“Kyaa!”

“Damn it!”

WINNER!

I was going to automatically end the game when there were three users left, but [Arang’s Foot Licker] eliminated everyone in an instant and won the 100-person Survival Battle Royale mode alone.

As soon as the game ended, we in the spectator seat and [Arang’s Foot Licker] on the battlefield entered the room created for the winner.

[Arang’s Foot Licker], wearing a costume that suited Assassins—a full-body tights-like outfit with strategic holes—cheered, then looked at me and approached as if teleporting.

“Hello! I won, so I can have an interview, right!?”

The woman, who until just now looked like a cold, emotionless Assassin, revealed her emotions as if she’d spin a propeller if she had a tail.

Does [Arang’s Foot Licker] like my feet that much? I’m really sorry. I can’t fulfill that dream.

Well, that’s for later; the Guild interview is important now.

“First of all, Soonchu Unnie, were there any particular problems in the Raid Group?”

When I asked Soonchu, who had been in the Raid Group with [Arang’s Foot Licker], she swallowed hard and looked at Soonchu.

“Yeah. I thought she was a real Assassin. She didn’t say a word except when feedback was needed. She only spoke concisely when talking about Guild Tactics or feedback. And her skills were so good that there’s nothing to say.”

“Phew…”

“But that Horollo, no, that… Ah, why did she change her nickname to this!”

“Ah, that’s because I really, really like cute things.”

I tilted my head at [Arang’s Foot Licker]’s words.

“What do that and Footwiper have in common?”

“Ah! That’s because I like small, squishy, and soft things… Ah, I don’t think I should say this…”

She’s a pervert. This woman is definitely a pervert.

So, she chose the nickname [Arang’s Foot Licker] because she thought my feet would be small, squishy, and soft.

“Arang’s Foot Licker.”

“Yes…”

“You’re not going to do anything weird to other people, are you?”

“O, of course not! I don’t even see anyone but Arangnim! That’s why I really want to join the Guild!”

“Arang, that… that person seems dangerous.”

Pink Berry came between [Arang’s Foot Licker] and me, blocking my view, and said.

“N, no! I’m not dangerous! I’m just, just a person who likes cute things…!”

“Arang, that person’s nickname is like that, but she wasn’t a bad person. She was trustworthy enough to be a support during the Raid Group Try.”

“S, Soonchu-nim…!”

“Hmm…”

Frankly, it’s not a problem.

It’s a bit dizzying to have that kind of nickname, but according to Leore Log, she’s the top Dealer, an all-star, and one of the best Dealers in Leore.

She definitely showed that in the Battle Royale as well.

And she didn’t seem to have any malice; she looked like a genuinely good person, almost like a pure child.

Except that she has a strange fetish.

But what if she turns dark later when she finds out I don’t have feet?

Still, I decided to accept her because she would be helpful to our Guild and wouldn’t have a bad influence.

I opened the Guild window, went into the settings, promoted [Arang’s Foot Licker]—Footwiper—from prospective Guild Member to Guild Member, and then withdrew all the other prospective Guild Members.

“Huk! T, thank you! That… if it’s not rude, can I, can I hug you…?”

As Footwiper swallowed and carefully approached me, Pink Berry blocked my path.

“Is hugging okay? Is it okay to touch her feet?”

“A, Arang! You can’t do that!”

“Huh? It’s okay.”

They’re not real feet anyway; they’re just fake feet the game automatically created.

“Huk… T, thank you!”

I sat on the sofa where Soonchu and I had been sitting and unequipped my shoes.

My non-existent foot was revealed. My foot, which I had never seen in reality, was small and petite.

‘Pretty.’

As expected, my foot was pretty, even though it was just a polygon mass automatically created by Leore.

“T, this is Arangnim’s foot…! Arangnim said she didn’t change her Character Customization at all, so… gulp.”

I didn’t change the Character Customization. Leore just automatically created it.

“H, how can it all, all fit in my one hand…!”

Footwiper carefully touched the imaginary foot that the Leore AI system had automatically created and smiled happily.

Soonchu shook her head, and Pink Berry looked at me worriedly, making an “Eueu…” sound.

After the first Survival Battle Royale ended, I accepted up to 100 Guild Members again, explained to the people who came in, and started another Survival Battle Royale.

I continued to filter out people, accepted eight more Guild Members, and the [Munchkin Cat] Guild grew to twelve members.
