Monster Hunter (7)

Due to the sudden alarm, Lee Ha-yan, aka Pinku Berry, went to Arang-i’s fan cafe while editing Arang-i’s video.

“Huh?”

[Angry]

Writer – Lee Arang – Cafe Manager

There’s someone who’s been making me angry lately.

What should I do?

Startled by Arang-i’s post, Lee Ha-yan immediately picked up her phone and called Arang-i.

Ttu-ru–

[*Eonni*? What’s wrong?]

“Arang-a, what’s that post you wrote on the cafe? What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you found out about that person?”

[Huh? Ah… it’s not that, it’s just that I’m playing Monster Hunter, and the multiplayer people keep making me angry.]

“Is that so? Should *eonni* help you? Shall we play Monster Hunter together?”

[Eung. No, it’s okay. I’m soloing now without forgetting, so there’s no problem.]

“Is that so? That’s a relief. If you need *eonni*’s help, be sure to contact me. And how’s your body doing?”

[Eung. I’m very healthy now. Thank you for worrying about me, *eonni*. What are you doing right now, *eonni*?]

“*Eonni* was busy editing Arang-i’s pretty video.”

[Really? Thank you always!]

“Thank you? Arang-i doesn’t even accept it when *eonni* offers to share the profits…”

[Hehe. I’m going to go get a massage!]

“Okay. Enjoy your massage.”

[Eung!]

Click.

“That’s a relief. It’s good that Arang-i didn’t see that chicken without leg wings. No, wait a minute…”

Lee Ha-yan confirmed that Arang-i was okay and breathed a sigh of relief that she didn’t know about the chicken without leg wings, then started to think about something.

“Arang-i started Monster Hunter, and the chicken without leg wings appeared in Monster Hunter…”

Despite suffering from mental illness for a long time after her arms and legs were amputated due to an incurable disease, Arang-i overcame everything and stood up.

Arang-i didn’t feel ashamed, dislike, or sad about not having arms and legs.

She also doesn’t feel any aversion to letting other people know that she doesn’t have arms and legs.

“Could it be… that the chicken without leg wings isn’t Arang-i…?”

No matter what, it doesn’t seem like Arang-i would be crazy enough to use the nickname “chicken without leg wings,” which targets her for not having arms and legs…

“Arang-i’s mental state is quite ill…”

It’s suspected that she has multiple personalities after the seizure, and she’s undergoing mental counseling and treatment…

“Eh… no way… it wouldn’t be that bad, would it…?”

I steadily played Monster Hunter.

I played Monster Hunter solo for four days straight and had a lot of fun.

Occasionally, when I couldn’t catch something alone or when grinding was annoying, I would call Jin Daru, who wasn’t streaming, and enjoy playing together.

I became quite close to Jin Daru.

Even though she has the body and voice of a woman, in the end, there’s a man inside, so we were able to become friends easily and quickly.

I want to keep playing Monster Hunter for a while, but today is the day to play LEORE.

That’s because I have to do the subjugation battle that made me start streaming.

I have to do it once a week.

I’ve already received all the equipment rewards, but I’m still running it steadily to get additional pets like Morfo.

I entered LEORE after a week, and not long after, someone kicked open the guild house door.

“Eo-ing?”

This is my guild house, so only guild members or people I’ve allowed can enter.

That means it must be my friend, and I immediately identified who it was with my crazy dynamic visual acuity.

It was Reina, who has a face that would devour most foreign models and an overwhelming charisma.

But Reina, who always showed a cool charisma to the raid members and was like a puppy to me, rushed at me with a face that looked like she was going to eat me alive.

“Arang!!!”

Reina grabbed me and lifted me up as is.

“…”

Reina glaring at me.

I was slightly scared by Reina’s serious face, which I had never seen before.

‘T-This is the charisma of Reina, the leader of the strongest Mead raid in LEORE…?’

I think this is the first time I’ve been scared of a woman.

Reina was glaring at me so intensely that I suddenly felt that Reina was similar to a Doberman.

I don’t know if it’s okay to compare a person to a dog, but that’s just what I thought for a moment.

She’s a grinning *eonni* when she’s with me, but Reina is more charismatic than anyone else when she’s running the raid.

Pinku *eonni* is like a Retriever, and Reina *eonni* is like a Doberman.

I was a little scared to look at Reina *eonni*’s eyes, which were staring at me intently, so I tried to look away slightly, but Reina *eonni* moved her head and followed my gaze.

Normally, at this point, her expression would be all smiles, and she would be rubbing her belly like a belly warmer, but she keeps holding me in the air and looking only at my eyes.

This is the first time I’ve seen Reina this angry.

Even though she’s running the strongest Mead raid, this is the first time I’ve seen her this angry.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this angry even when someone keeps trolling or when a raid member causes an accident and she has to cut them…

Looking at Reina’s reaction now, it seems like she’s angry because of me… Did I do something to make Reina angry?

Nothing has happened recently… has it… no… there was a lot…?

“Ah…!”

Memories from before I started Monster Hunter came to mind, and I finally realized what I had forgotten before I started Monster Hunter.

‘I didn’t even say hello to Reina…!’

Come to think of it, I only left a message saying I was okay in our guild chat, and I didn’t leave one in the alliance raid chat.

After rumors spread that I had died and after my last stream, I left a message for the guild members saying I was okay, but I realized that I had forgotten about the alliance raid chat where Reina is.

At that time, the guild members came and had a gathering, and my emotions were fluctuating because of my period, so I guess I forgot.

‘Even I think it’s understandable that she’s angry…’

“I’m sorry, *eonni*.”

Since it was a series of incidents that I had caused recently, I immediately apologized.

Even I think it’s a point where she can be angry.

“You won’t do that again, will you?”

“Eung.”

“How about the places where you’re sick?”

“I’m fine. My period is over now.”

“Really? It wasn’t too hard, was it?”

“Eung. I’m okay.”

“Okay. That’s good then.”

Reina hugged me tightly and then put me down as is.

I thought the things I had caused were over, but I had to apologize again when Emma, Echo, and Vision came in one after another.

Emma originally knew what I looked like in real life, so it ended with her just stroking my head, but Echo and Vision seem to be a little shocked.

Until last week, we were just laughing, joking, and teasing each other like friends who play games together, but Echo and Vision’s behavior has changed.

It wasn’t like the close friendship between men without any reservations, but it seemed like they were clearly reluctant to approach me.

As if they were worried that I would break.

‘Hmm… this is actually a normal reaction.’

Even if it were me, if I found out that a friend I was playing games with was actually a 15-year-old girl with an incurable disease who had been living a life with amputated limbs, I would feel sympathy.

But I’m not just a pitiful person without limbs.

I’m Lee Arang, the youngest child of the richest parents in Korea, no, in the world, who owns the highest-end virtual reality access device, of which there are only five in the world, and who uses an entire building of the best hospital in Korea.

Oh…

When I think about my situation again, it’s a bit… amazing…

I receive 100 million won as pocket money, and my doctor *eonni* takes care of me and gives me massages, so even if I don’t have arms and legs… I’m not someone to be pitied.

Honestly, the past me and the current Arang.

If I had to choose between the two, I would immediately choose the current Arang-i.

No, I can play virtual reality games…!?

I still remember the first time I killed a goblin in LEORE, the 1v1 with the field boss Orc, the 1v1 Makgora gimmick when I did WFK, and the Monster Hunter I’m doing now.

I still feel my heart pounding when I think about LEORE and Monster Hunter, and I want to play them quickly.

I don’t know how my parents made it, but when I’m in there, I can’t tell the difference from reality.

I can’t help but know why there’s a time limit on the access device and why there’s a forced logout function.

If I had played without the access device limit in the past, I probably would have died from playing too much because it’s so addictive.

It’s not just playing a game, it’s like being transferred to another world and living in another world.

Just like in those novels and comics.

Echo and Vision’s attitude towards me.

I don’t like it.

Last week, they would have stroked my head or poked me, but now I can see that they’re not even touching me or trying to touch me, and they’re worried about how to greet me.

“Uh… h-hello.”

Ugh, that awkward tone.

I sighed at Echo and Vision’s behavior, which was like a couple who had broken up.

“Just do it like before.”

“Haha… it’s not something that can be done as easily as you think…”

I understand. But it’s a little annoying because I can see that they’re having a hard time treating me so openly.

No, the person herself says it’s okay!

There’s no problem playing virtual reality! There’s no problem living! I’m getting healthier!

Uh!

I’m fine!
