Chapter 42: [Luna’s Pharmacy] Yukidan, have you seen this? This is called ‘Another Fantasy’. [Yuki/Lunaverse] (2)

[Before Luna could continue speaking, Ruinald puts his hand into his pants.]

[A shadow falls over Luna’s face as she realizes something.]

[But Ruinald just wore a meaningful smile and rummaged inside his pants.]

-Yabe

-Uh oh

-Uhohuhohuhoh

-What the heck is he doing..

-Uhohuhohoh

-Yabe

-Is it ban-angle???

-YABEYABEYABEYABEYABEYABE-YABE

-No way? Banned just like this?

-Uhohohoh

-Yabe

The chat window stirred due to the golden-haired delinquent’s sudden action.

I hurriedly opened my mouth to calm down the Yukidan, who were in a state of pandemonium.

“It’s fine, the H-scene isn’t out yet.”

-?

-No, that’s…?

-He’s rummaging in his pants?

-No…

I ignored the chat and continued reading the lines.

[Ruinald: Ah, here it is.]

[Ruinald: I almost forgot about it~ (laughs)]

[Luna: Wh-what is that?]

[Ruinald: Ah, you mean ‘this’?]

An illustration of a yellowish parchment fills the screen.

That was it.

What the golden-haired delinquent pulled out while rummaging in his pants was just that single piece of paper.

[Ruinald: Ah… ‘this’ is called a certificate.]

[Ruinald: It’s proof that your parents borrowed 1,000,000G from me.]

-Eh? He wasn’t trying to do something lewd?

-What’s with the paper?

-Why no H-scene?

-It’s going like this?

-Phew….

“I told you, didn’t I? There are no lewd scenes.”

[Yukicute has donated 50,000 won!]

-Then Yuki-chan… you’ve played this game before….?

“Ah, that’s… a ‘secret,’ shall we say? Idols don’t play strange games, you know.”

-Eye?dol

-This isn’t an idol, it’s a dol-ai. (TL Note: Dol-ai means crazy person/weirdo)

-Kekekekekeke

-Dol!Ai

-Dol-ai, sht kekekeke

-Kekekekeke

“…Hey. Calling Yuki-chan a dol-ai, isn’t that too much?”

-Not really…?

-It’s not wrong though lol

-It’s true, isn’t it?

“I’m not a dol-ai!! If you keep teasing me like that, Yuki-chan will get sulky, okay?”

I immediately changed the face on my avatar to an angry one and narrowed my eyes.

However, even after doing that, there was no particular reaction from the viewers.

Feeling a bit disappointed by that, I continued to read the lines in the game.

[Luna: But such a large sum of money… there’s no way I can prepare it in a short period of time!!]

[Ruinald: It doesn’t matter how long it takes.]

[Ruinald: Instead, I’ll come to collect 100G in interest every month!]

[Ruinald: If you can’t prepare the interest…]

[Ruinald: You might have to repay it in a ‘different way’…?]

[Luna: Haaah…]

“Ah, for reference, if you can’t pay the interest, an H-scene will appear.”

-Oh

-HM!!!

-Uhyo~ Golden-haired delinquent pure love s*x, kita!!

-Eh…? Honto?

-Show us

“There’s no way I can show it on stream…”

Moreover, it’s an event that only progresses when the ‘corruption level’ in the game reaches a certain value.

If the corruption level is 10 or less, it ends with her cosplaying as a cat and feeling embarrassed.

Well, when it’s high enough, she’ll just wear ears and a tail and do things like urinating outdoors…

But since the corruption level is still 0, that won’t happen.

[Ruinald: Well then, do your best~]

[Ruinald: Ah, I heard a rumor that there’s a good job opening at the ‘tavern’ just ahead…]

[Ruinald: Perhaps something good will happen if you visit…?]

With those words, Ruinald went somewhere, and Luna was left alone in the pharmacy again.

[Luna: Haaah… What should I do…]

[Luna: When I came to my senses, I had a debt of 1,000,000G…]

[Luna: Can I really pay back all that money?]

[Luna: Hmm, no. I won’t know until I try!]

[Luna: For now, let’s work hard and save money!]

As Luna’s monologue ended, the dialogue box disappeared.

Then, the story scene ended, and I was able to freely control the character.

“This is where it starts. Our goal is to collect 1 million gold and see the happy ending.”

[NinjaGagul has donated 5,000 won!]
-But what if you can’t?

“If I can’t… an H-scene will appear, so I’ll have to turn off the game.”

-Kekeke

-Is it stream over the moment you die? Kekeke

-A game where your streaming life is on the line.

-That’s absurdly funny.

-This is a real death game.

As that Yukidan said, isn’t this truly a death game?

The moment I die in the game, my VTuber life also dies….

Well, I’ll somehow turn off the game before that happens.

“First, I’ll go gather medicinal herbs right away.”

-?

-Why herbs?

-草 (TL Note: Kusa – Japanese internet slang for ‘lol’, looks like grass)

-Shouldn’t you go to the tavern?

[GodCola has donated 30,000 won!]
-Our God-Taeyang told us to go to the tavern, and you’re not going?

“But… the tavern pays so little, or rather, it’s just a sweatshop. You don’t even get minimum wage.”

The ‘tavern’ is like a tutorial for making money.

Here, you can earn a little money by serving food to customers.

But since I know the tutorial, I don’t need to go to the tavern that only gives a little money.

‘Even if it’s a daily job at a business with less than 5 employees, not writing a labor contract and not guaranteeing minimum wage.’

‘If I report it to the labor office, the owner will be fined.’

‘Let them taste the bitterness of the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to collective action!’

“Ah, right. I’ll save before that.”

-Save?

-Saving is a serious matter kekeke

-Wonder if there’s a status screen too?

-Couldn’t save wife.

Since I might have to press Esc or Alt+F4, saving is essential.

I had to prevent the catastrophe of all progress being lost when I turned the game off and on.

It seemed like I would have to save whenever I had a chance from now on.

[File 1 00:04:24] Luna’s Pharmacy

[File 2]

[File 3]

[File 4]

I immediately go to the save menu and save the game in the first slot.

Then, the playtime and the progress recorded in File 1 appear.

After confirming that the game was saved, I immediately started playing the game again.

I leave the pharmacy and head to the far right of the village.

After passing about five buildings, the village main gate appears.

I went out through the village main gate.

But what unfolded wasn’t a vast grassy landscape, but a world map that looked like a scaled-down version of actual terrain.

Right next to my character was Dwayne Village, represented by pixels, and to its left was a small bush-shaped structure labeled ‘Orc Plains.’

“Orc Plains. This is where most of the early quests take place.”

-Yuki is cute.

-So when’s the s*x?

-Show the H-scene.

-Pink hair is hot.

“…Hey.”

The Yukidan weren’t listening to the explanation at all.

Sighing briefly at that, I moved my character to the Orc Plains.

As soon as I arrived at the Orc Plains, a green landscape unfolded.

The quality was so high that it was hard to believe it was represented by pixels, and I could easily imagine that the soul of the person who drew the dots had been ground away.

Not only that, but monsters made of pixels were roaming the field.

From slimes to wolves, and even flower-shaped monsters.

It was a familiar sight that evoked nostalgia for old RPG Maker games.

“I miss it… I used to die here a lot back then.”

-Didn’t you say you hadn’t played it?

-You definitely played it before.

-Perverted ero-gaki.

-Ero-gaki kekeke

“What ero-gaki. Look at Yuki-chan, she’s the epitome of innocence, isn’t she?”

-Inno?cence

-Frozen-to-death innocence keke

-That’s not it.

-This guy still believes he’s innocent lol

-Ero-gaki

-This kind of thing… is innocence?

“Tsk. This is why quick-witted viewers are…”

Actually, there’s probably no need to push the innocent concept.

Even if I did, there was a high chance I wouldn’t be able to stand it and it would shatter within a day.

It would be more convenient in many ways to stick with the ero-gaki concept like now.

‘Speaking of which, ero-gaki has a nice ring to it.’

I don’t know who thought of it, but it seemed like a word that perfectly matched my current concept.

After finishing the chit-chat with the viewers, I started wandering around the Orc Plains map again.

Something sparkling was placed in the bushes scattered throughout the map.

I immediately pressed the Z key to interact, and then a familiar blue window popped up at the top of the screen.

[Mandrake Root x1 – An herb that is the raw material for antidote.]

“Tsk, that’s not worth much money.”

But unfortunately, Mandrake Root wasn’t a very good item.

It might be different if it was processed to make a potion, but the raw material itself was just a junk item worth less than 10 gold.

I continued farming items.

As a result of farming items while avoiding monsters rushing towards me in the middle.

I was able to gather enough items to buy the early starting weapon.

[Mandrake Root x7 – An herb that is the raw material for antidote.]

[Elf Herb x12 – An herb that is the raw material for recovery potions.]

[Silver Orb x3 – An orb generated within a monster’s body. Be careful with pronunciation.]

[Ghost Flower x5 – A flower that only grows in dark places. Amplifies the effect of potions.]

“Three Silver Orbs came out. With this, I can buy weapons and magic.”

-Finally!!!

-Silver Orb kekeke

-This guy has three gintama lololol (TL Note: Gintama means silver ball, slang for testicle)

-3BR (TL Note: BR is short for booral, Korean for testicles)

-Three Silver Orbs…?

(Silver Orb, Gintama): Pronounced the same as testicles.)

[WingWingLee has donated 50,000 won!]
-Ginta three? Ma-ga… (TL Note: Maga means “could it be?”)

“Ahem. Don’t get any strange ideas. They’re clearly silver orbs, not testicles.”

And three testicles at that.

I’m already sad that the two testicles I had were torn off.

I’d rather what the Yukidan are saying was true.

…Well, if that happened, female:futanari would be added to the tags.

-8?2

-MCH kekeke

-No, because of you, I keep having strange thoughts.

-Lewd demon ON

-This is because of perverted Yuki, anyway.

-Totally ero-gaki lol

“Sigh. Well, think whatever you want. I’m going to sell these silver orbs.”

I left the Orc Plains and headed back to the village.

Now it’s time to sell the testicles… no, the silver orbs, and make money.

‘Because of the Yukidan, I’ve become strange too.’

‘Anyway, it’s all the Yukidan’s fault.’

‘Yes, it’s not me who’s strange.’
