Chapter 46: [EDen] Do you like Rin-sama who is strong even though her special attack is not a ranged attack but a double attack? [Yuki/Rin/Lunaverse] (2)

-KUOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The giant monster made of trash roared, and the entire screen vibrated.

Then, a familiar warning window flickered and appeared on the red flashing screen.

[!!-ELITE BOSS ENCOUNTER-!!]

[Lv.59 Seven Deadly Sins – Wrath]

Following that, the warning window and the boss’s HP bar appeared.

Befitting its impactful entrance, the Seven Deadly Sins held the title of ‘Elite Boss.’

Wrath blocked our path.

“Ready, Rin?”

“Of course, Yuki-gong.”

(TL Note: “Gong” is a somewhat archaic honorific, often used in martial arts settings, fitting Rin’s character.)

I immediately prepared for the boss fight, ready to press the keyboard at any moment.

Then, Wrath threw a giant trash cube towards us, and,

KWAAANG!!

The red-hot pile of trash slammed into the spot where we had been standing just moments before.

A lingering afterimage as I dodged Wrath’s attack with a dash.

Rin dashed forward twice more, while I backstepped and aimed my crosshairs at Wrath.

Pyew, pyew!

Mini Yuki-beams fired with a cute sound.

The lasers, flying at high speed, eventually hit Wrath’s massive body directly, but the HP gauge didn’t decrease at all.

[HP ■■■■■ 100%]

“Eek? The attack isn’t working?”

“It seems we have to aim for its weak point!”

“Weak point?”

“Indeed. That screen probably is its weak point…”

-KUOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The bull’s face on the screen roared, its mouth agape as if it would tear.

As the green lines that formed it flashed red, an intense crimson heat blazed within Wrath’s trash-formed body.

-It looks fcking scary.

-Mecha Diablo Hㄷㄷ

-Flaming fist…?

-Fire Punch???

-Fire fist? Ace…

-Fire Punch! Fire Punch!

“I shall try to buy some time, so Yuki-gong, please provide covering fire from behind!”

“Ah, alright!”

As soon as Rin finished speaking, three lumps of trash rushed towards us.

I started preparing a strong attack and dodged two incoming attacks with consecutive dashes.

And towards the last lump of trash, I slammed the strong attack I had been charging with all my might.

[Strong Attack – Photon Cannon]

“Yuki-beeeeeeeam!!!!!!”

-Kekeke

-Yuki-beeeeeeeam!!!!

-Yuki-beam is cute.

-Kekeke

-Yuki-beeeeeeeam!!

A beam shot in a straight line pierced through the lump of trash.

Then, the lump of trash scattered into dozens of pieces.

Through the scattering, red-hot fragments, Rin’s figure could be seen rushing forward.

While I was taking the attacks, she had used consecutive dashes to reach Wrath.

Pajijijijik!!!

A thunderous roar that seemed to rip the air apart.

Unlike before, Rin’s entire body was engulfed in sparks.

It was a different preparation motion from her usual attacks, where only the blade was covered in sparks.

Pajik.

And then.

The charged energy was released.

KWAGAGAGAGAK!!!!

Streaks of lightning tore through the surroundings in a whirlwind.

Azure lightning swept through the area, creating a massive storm of electricity.

Gugugugung―

Then, the electricity that had scattered in all directions gathered on Rin’s blade.

The world, devoid of the blue lightning, turned gray for an instant.

Then, Rin, floating in the air, brought her blade down diagonally.

[Ultimate Skill: Storm Strike]

KWAGAGAGAGAGAK!!!!!!!

A deafening roar.

A long, blue slash mark was left on its massive body.

It was Rin’s ultimate skill, Storm Strike.

-Rideeeeer Saveeeeer

-Rin-sama! Rin-sama!

-Kekekekeke

-Ramjwi Thunder!!!!! (TL Note: Ramjwi is Squirrel, a cute way of saying Lightning)

-Lightning!

-Kekekekeke

-Rider Caliber!!!!!!!

“Ooh! Rin-sama, sugoi!!!”

“What’s so amazing about it? More importantly, Yuki-gong, use your ultimate skill quickly too!!”

“Ah, alright!!”

[HP 52%]

‘Was the screen the weak point, as Rin predicted?’

Unlike my previous attacks that didn’t work, its HP was reduced by almost half.

It seemed like I would have to keep aiming for that screen from now on.

Keek, keegeek…

With the attack hitting, about half of the screen turned black.

The other half also turned red, so it seemed the attack had landed quite well.

I immediately pressed and held the right mouse button, and in the meantime, Rin rushed forward to draw the boss’s attention.

Clack!

While the gauge was charging, the twin pistols transformed, changing their shape.

Mechanical parts interlocked, rotated, and changed their form as if a mecha robot was transforming.

Then, the twin pistols, which had been separated, combined into one.

Energy began to gather in the cross-shaped cannon.

Woooooong-

And in the meantime.

Kwaang!!

Rin, standing at the forefront, parried the boss’s attacks.

Her continuously swung blade left blue afterimages, slashing through the giant trash cubes falling like meteors.

How much time had passed like that?

The ultimate skill’s charge was complete, and a giant sphere of electricity formed in front of the cross-shaped cannon.

A pink Genki Dama, flickering as if it would explode at any moment.

(TL note: Genki Dama is Goku’s final attack ‘spirit bomb’ from Dragonball Z)

Finally, I pulled the trigger, and the pink energy gathered so far was converted into lightning and shot forward.

[Ultimate Skill – Longinus]

“S*x-beeeeeeeeeam!!!!!!!!”

KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!

-No kekeke

-Kekekekekekekekeke

-Now it’s not even Yuki-beam, it’s S*x-beam?

-S*x-beeeeeeeam!!!!

-Innocence doko? (Where?)

-S*x-beeeeeeam!!!!

-Hey!! Stop calling Longinus weird names!!!

-The CEO’s tears flow again today…

As the deafening roar erupted, a pink line was drawn in the air.

Although it was fired with vulgar words, its effect was undeniable.

KWAAAAAANG!!!

[HP ■□□□□ 9%]

A huge explosion occurred on the half-destroyed screen, and its HP was greatly reduced once again.

Wrath’s HP gauge was now almost depleted.

And to chip away the last remaining HP, Rin used a dash and leaped into the air.

Kwagagak!!

Another slash of lightning struck the screen.

Then, even the tiny bit of HP that remained completely vanished, and Wrath’s massive body began to collapse.

-Kuooooooo…

Its outer shell made of trash crumbled.

All that remained inside was a slender, bone-like skeleton.

Then, sparks flew a few times from the spinal area, and even the screen turned black as the skeleton itself toppled forward.

“D-did we get him?”

“Yuki-gong! Don’t raise a flag!”

“Ah, I did it without thinking…”

-Flag kekekekeke

-Setting a death flag after defeating him lololol

-This guy, already raised a revival flag.

-King-chiwonna?

-Yattaka? (Did I do it?)

However, contrary to the viewers’ concerns, the boss didn’t reawaken.

Wrath had ceased to function, like the fossil of a giant dinosaur.

And what was left in its place were piles of trash scattered everywhere, and Flame, whose face was completely crushed.

“Our android-chan… my real doll…”

“…Please stop saying weird things.”

“Shut up, you talk a lot for someone who reads yuri erotica.”

-Yuri erotica?

-?

-Rin-sama… you watch that stuff?

-Eeeh

-You watch that kind of stuff…?

-Yuri circuit explodinggg

-Bobim-gak? (TL Note: Bobim means rubbing, Gak means angle/chance; slang for yuri potential)

“U-unnie!! We agreed to stop talking about that!!”

“Ah. Rin broke character again.”

“And it’s not erotica, it’s erotic fiction!!”

“That or that. It’s all the same anyway.”

“N-no!! That’s not it… Anyway, I’m not that kind of person!! Yuki-unnie is just joking!!”

-Yabe, she broke character.

-This guy lol, a total yuri enthusiast lol

-Strong denial is… what?

-Busted.

-Looking forward to YukiRin business yuri.

-Where did you sell your RP?

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!”

Rin, her face flushed red, shook her head frantically.

And that image was captured by the camera as is, and Rin’s virtual model also started headbanging intensely.

“That didn’t happen!!! Yuki-unnie was just kidding!!!”

“No, it’s true. If you want, should I read the title too? Until Your Flower Gets We…”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaak!!! Stop!!!”

Rin, her face flushed red, roughly covered my mouth with her hand.

With my mouth restrained, I made muffled sounds and appealed to the viewers for help.

“Mph! Mmph, mmmmmph!!!”

“Aah… What do I do… They found out I’m a yuri enthusiast on stream…”

“Mmph, puha! It’s fine, okay? I’m a yuri enthusiast too.”

“That’s not comforting at all!!”

-Kekekeke

-Yuki-chan… you were a yuri enthusiast?

-Yabe

-Coming out like this…

-Is there something special about today’s stream?

-Clip angle, clip angle.

[Magical★Sundaegukbap has donated 10,000 won!]
-Eeeh…? Yuki-chan, a yuri enthusiast?

Ah, come to think of it, this would be the first time the Yukidan heard that I was a yuri enthusiast.

I forgot because I never had a reason to openly state this preference on stream.

Well, now that it’s known, I guess it’s fine.

“Yes. I’m a yuri enthusiast. I prefer two fresh, young, pretty girls rubbing together rather than a guy intruding.”

“I-if you say that…!!”

-Fr keke

-Pretty girl menagerie is a national dish.

-Heueung…

-Did the yuri boom arrive????

-Fresh, young? The wording is a bit… smells like a chicken coop… (TL Note: “Chicken coop” can be slang for older women trying to act young, or just a generally demeaning term for a group of women.)

-Yuri is mainstream!!!!

-Why are there so many yuri enthusiasts?

“…Eh?”

Rin makes a surprised face, perhaps because the viewers’ reaction was different from what she had imagined.

‘Well, it was actually pretty harsh.’

‘I habitually tried to tease her, and I think I dealt some major internal damage.’

But surprisingly, aside from her being a bit embarrassed, there probably wouldn’t be much damage.

Because…

“Actually, even if you reveal you’re a yuri enthusiast, the viewers probably won’t care, you know?”

“…Really?”

“No, they’ll probably like it even more? VTuber yuri has quite a demand in the first place…”

“I-is that really so?”

-Of course.

-OOOO

-“I like it even more.”

-Yuri enthusiast Rin-sama… This is precious.

-The Yuri Mainstream Gallery supports Tsukino Rin’s broadcast.

-Kekeke

-God-hilyeo King-ah! (TL Note: “God-hilyeo King-ah!” is a meme phrase meaning “Rather, it’s good!”)

“Y-yes, when I was found out in the old days, everyone hated it… How…”

Rin muttered in a slightly tearful voice.

Turning my gaze to the side, I saw that her eyes were slightly welled up with tears.

‘Rin probably had some hard times too.’

‘Having a minor taste is something that’s a bit hard to talk about anywhere.’

‘Moreover, the aftermath when it’s discovered… I don’t even want to imagine it.’

Still, Rin.

‘The world is originally kind to pretty girls.’

‘Besides, in the VTuber world, even if you’re a fujoshi or a lolicon, there are fans who like you.’

I hope Rin knows that and reveals herself more honestly to the viewers.

As for me…

‘I usually broadcast almost raw as it is.’

‘If I tried to reveal more, I might get banned immediately.’

“Still, it turned out well in the end, so it’s all good, right?”

“…Buy me a drink later.”

“Alright~ Want some Jukyeopcheong with a bowl of somyeon?”

(TL Note: Jukyeopcheong is bamboo leaf liquor, somyeon are thin wheat noodles.)

“If possible, brandy would be nice.”

“…Brandy?”

“Carbonara spaghetti would be good for anju.”

(TL Note: Anju are side dishes eaten with alcohol.)

“Ah, alright…”

-Brandyy kekeke

-Kekekekekeke

-Memo… Murimin drinks brandy…

-What is this… Murimin? (TL Note: Murimin refers to people from the martial arts world in wuxia/murim stories.)

-Innkeeper! Bring me a bowl of carbonara!

-Hait!

-Kekekekeke

-Sign here! Mu-tteokttak! (TL Note: Mu-tteokttak is a derogatory term for old martial arts fans.)

-This isn’t wuxia!!!

-Rin-sama is… authentic wuxia…

“Anyway. Hurry up and proceed with the game. Too much time has passed chatting.”

“Ah, Rin is back to her usual self.”

“…Whose fault do you think that is?”

-Fr keke

-Yuki was in the wrong here.

-Kekeke

-Yuki needs to be put in her place.

-Poor Rin-sama.

-Yuki bottom confirmed!

Anyway, thus promising to buy Rin brandy.

The small commotion that had arisen was settled for the time being.
