Chapter Title: Another World’s Sneaky Gallery - 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the gallery, all sorts of conspiracy theories began to pour out.
How did the Head Admin know she's an academy girl?
Didn't we see that she's not a girl?
Then is she a girl?
I'll just believe she's a girl and get excited.
The Head Admin is an academy girl. Got it? Just memorize it if you don't know.
Oh.
Imagine a girl from the academy being the Head Admin, hahaha.
I just jizzed, lol.
The Head Admin is an academy girl? lol Wait a sec, I'm gonna apply to the academy right now, lol.
What did the academy do wrong, lol.
The academy principal is sobbing, lol.
A bunch of bearded middle-aged men are flocking to the academy... 'Shocking'
Title) The Reason the Head Admin is a Noble (For Real)
They say they came from another world, but they adapted too quickly. The Auction House opened, and they immediately issued a warning.
The fact that they even thought of the keywords 'politics' and 'war' is suspicious from the start.
The person closest to politics and war? A noble, of course.
'Rather than being a commoner who pulled off all this, it's more plausible that they are a noble.' This argument holds more credibility.
Hmm, is that so?
Hmm, sounds about right...
Adapted quickly? That's bullshit. They adapted because they already knew to some extent.
Then if the Head Admin is a noble, where do you think they're from? A Marquis house? An Earl house?
At least an Earl house. Viscount or Baron is too ambiguous.
By human standards, that's about right... For Elves, they'd be a World Tree Guardian, for Demons, a Mid-level Demon, for Beastkin, a tribal chief.
Surprisingly, could they be a jobless person who's well-versed in continental affairs?
For real, lol. That's possible too.
Jobless (Has a huge influence on the continent, Gallery Head Admin)
How is that jobless?
So, where does the Head Admin live?
Don't know if it's the West, Central, or East.
Their lifestyle is Zero-rank, so they sleep and wake up whenever they want;;;
Wake-up time (East), Bedtime (West)
LMAOOO
This is just Demon King-chan 2.0, lol. They wake up and call it morning, lol.
I think it's the West.
What if they're an Elf?
No no, they could be from an Empire leaning towards the West.
So in the end, we don't know.
But the noble theory is the most plausible, lol.
For real, lol. The academy girl theory is next.
The Head Admin is an academy girl (Big tits, S-class beauty, Virgin, Gallery Head Admin)
The last element is the most exciting, lol.
Saying such a chaotic thing so casually, lol.
As if she'd be an academy girl, lol.
Title) The Reason the Head Admin is a Noble (Confirmed)
This bastard has almost no greed for money.
You can't be like that unless you come from a wealthy family.
They could just have no greed for money.
Could you do the same if you had tens of thousands of gold in your hands?
What they did while holding tens of thousands of gold: Bought and ate chicken skewers.
For real, if a newly rich person did that, they'd be out of their mind.
But how do you explain the Head Admin's house?
It's incredibly small even for a commoner's house.
It's weird even if you think of them as a crazy noble living in a strange house.
They could be from a side branch of some family... I don't know the details.
Title) The Moment I Became Convinced the Head Admin is a Noble
(Crab eating crab meme.jpg)
Everyone died.
What the hell is this?
I feel like eating crab again, lol.
What is this cannibalism?
Why is it real? lol.
Title) Found Proof the Head Admin is a Noble
(Squirrel Thunder.jpg)
Squirrel Thunder
Squirrel Thunder gets an upvote, lol.
I watched the whole Squirrel series, they're so cute, lol.
Every time I watch this series, a new one appears.
Last time, Squirrel Hellfire appeared too.
How can you resist Squirrel Archmage, lol.
Most of it was useless or agitprop with logical leaps. The truth was nothing more than a useless thing in the gallery. What's most important is that an interesting bait is circulating. It was a time of tearing into and savoring the Head Admin, but gradually the bait cooled down.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
- Head Admin -
Title) I'm a Noble...?
(A rough photo of a one-room apartment taken by the Head Admin)
"My house is pretty wide for this, right?"
"This is average for a commoner. For real."
What the hell, is this a house? Not a room?
Hey, fucker, lol. Don't pretend to be a commoner.
Commoners have houses too, you bitch, lol.
You think commoners live in a single room? lol.
Commoners sobbing, lol.
This bastard is dragging the average down, lol.
You wanna die? Don't you ever go around saying you're a commoner, lol.
Even a slave's room is bigger than this, you bastard, lol.
What the hell, our horse stable is bigger than this?
Is this a space for a person to live? lol.
Does this bastard never come out from outside his bed? lol.
A house optimized for gallery life, lol.
If you don't live in the gallery, it's a place with nothing, lol.
Is the Head Admin trapped somewhere?
For real, they're trapped and only get chicken skewers delivered while managing the gallery, lol.
Ah, I didn't know that, lol.
Title) The Head Admin is Pretending to be a Commoner
They're acting with all their heart, lol.
They're probably acting inside a doghouse right now.
That can't be a person's house, lol.
I knew this bastard would be like this, lol.
I knew they were a noble pretending to be a commoner. Tsk tsk.
As expected, lol. It's obvious.
How naive are the guys who believed this?
For real, how can you believe this? lol.
They might really be a noble and living like that.
No, they're actually not a noble, just pretending to be one.
No no, they could be a commoner pretending to be a noble pretending to be a commoner.
What are you guys doing? lol.
Is this a commoner matryoshka? lol.
But what if... that really is the Head Admin's house? What if they're not really a noble? What if they've been living in a room narrower than anyone else's and gallery-posting for 20 hours a day...? What if they only go out barely to buy chicken skewers...?
Hey, lol. Stop joking.
The Head Admin, sobbing in their comfortable home.
Is this a person's life...?
This kind of thing... a noble...???
Title) Stop Lying, lol
How can that be a person's house and life? lol.
Do you think the Head Admin looks like a pushover? lol. They'd obviously be living in a grand mansion.
They probably have maids in bikinis lined up, lol.
Of course it's a lie, you bitches. Who would believe this?
Please tell me it's a lie, lol.
There's no way this is real, lol.
They're a noble, so they're lying.
But why won't they just say it's a lie?
Head Admin, don't tell me...
Please, lol. You bastard!!!!!!!!
Show us the real mansion you live in right now!!!!! We won't say anything!!!!!!!
A conspiracy theory written by someone as a joke was agreed with by people. And anyway, the Head Admin must be lying too! How can a person live in a place like this.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
You all are no longer Gallery Members.
The Head Admin, who was really living in a one-room apartment, was deeply wounded.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The Gallery Head Admin might really be a noble.
Everything they've shown so far was a lie! A setup!
The Head Admin Noble Theory, which started from a small suspicion, sounded plausible to many people.
If they have a lot of money. Why don't they spend it? They're not interested.
Are they already a wealthy noble?
No way they'd live in a house like this. It's giving me mental illness.
Of course this is a staged photo.
So, the Head Admin must be a noble. A search party was held to find the Gallery Head Admin. If they find the Head Admin by chance at the search party. That person gets a chance to rule the world. Some people attended the search party every day, revealing their desires, but not everyone was like that. The Sub Admin and Demon King. The Queen of Maderos, Arcella, read through the gallery.
"The Head Admin is a noble? Hmm… I don't think so."
The Head Admin gave off a smell that was too familiar to be called a noble.
A smell of life that was far from authority.
So Arcella, who had half-concluded that the Head Admin wasn't a noble, didn't pay much attention to it.
What meaning is there in whether they're a noble or a commoner.
All that matters is to somehow get friendly and bring them to Maderos.
She let out a small laugh.
She didn't know the truth. But it was only fun to see these conspiracy theories circulate.
She acted like a pleasure demon chasing after fun, but deep inside, a single question remained.
So where exactly is the Head Admin.
A pure question lingered in Arcella's mind.
They have a much bigger impact than other Head Admins, so I want to bring them over.
Do they know their own worth? They hid information about themselves better than anyone.
Or… are they just used to this kind of life.
She was only waiting for the Head Admin to reveal something about themselves.
To reveal familiarity. Or to reveal a hint that specifies their position.
Either way, she would bring the Head Admin to Maderos for its prosperity.
'But this is too much.'
They're hiding their information too much.
Even if it's a lie, to ask us to believe this tiny room.
Is that a place for a person to live.
They're a really skilled liar. Thinking that, Arcella posted as usual.
Title) The Head Admin lives in a cool place~
It's a cardboard house~ It collapses when it rains~
"Chuckle."
She laughed softly.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
At that moment. A meeting was being held in the Osen Kingdom.
A cold silence hung in the royal castle meeting, where nearly all the nobles had gathered.
Queen Beatrice let out a small sigh.
"…Does anyone know who the Head Admin is?"
She brought up the question she had been holding onto.
The Head Admin. They spread immense influence in the gallery and helped the Kingdom.
From the Kingdom's perspective, the Empire's massive stature itself is a pressure.
Since that Empire has been damaged and its body has shrunk a bit, it's a boon for the Kingdom.
Despite the good news, Beatrice's expression didn't lighten.
"Is it someone from the Kingdom…? Or why…."
Why do they keep helping the Kingdom.
Her mind was full of questions.
They prevented the Kingdom from being overturned by starting a war.
They dealt a blow to the Empire and helped the Kingdom.
Even so, they couldn't get a grasp on who the Head Admin was.
'If I could personally thank the Head Admin….'
She would arrange a personal dinner right now if she could.
Would that be the end of it. She would have openly granted a title and asked the Hero for help as a personal guard.
The Head Admin was a person worth that much.
Not a group, but a single person. Shakes the flow of this continent.
A giant tidal wave in motion.
But even for a person like that, she still didn't know their identity.
"Please feel free to present your opinions. If you can't, I'm thinking of writing a wish."
"A wish… that is."
"Isn't that too big of an expense."
"The Kingdom has already received two great favors from them. Even so… not expressing our gratitude would be against morality. I want to be the first to find the Head Admin."
Leaving aside acting for political reasons.
She wanted to express her gratitude personally.
The problem was she didn't know where the Head Admin lived.
"Or… where the Head Admin might be. Everyone, please speculate and tell me."
"Ahem…."
Everyone shut their mouths.
Queen Beatrice is charismatic and scary, but she's not inflexible.
Free opinions. That means you can say whatever you're thinking.
As long as you don't cross the line.
But they couldn't open their mouths easily.
So where is the Head Admin.
How can they talk about something they don't know.
Viscount Arhen, who raised his hand first, gave one opinion.
"I think they are likely a person from the Empire."
"You mean a person from the Empire helped our Kingdom? And what is the reason for that?"
"Because they responded immediately and aggressively."
Even though they could have put it differently, they immediately attacked publicly.
俗称狙击.
By posting it in the gallery, the Osen Kingdom had no choice but to bow its head.
"However… they are a person who responded aggressively, but does not want war."
They responded aggressively, but with no intention of attacking.
If they had, they would have waited for the war to break out and leaked information to the Empire's side.
They gave a sharp warning and stopped the war from breaking out. They were likely someone who loves peace.
"Does that make them a noble?"
"It's not certain, but… they are likely a noble."
They have no sense of dignity in their speech, but that's exactly why it was suspicious.
They claim to be a commoner so brazenly, which makes one sense a shadow behind it.
Someone who knows noble etiquette behind the mask of a commoner.
'To get away from noble dignity...'
You have to know what noble dignity is.
You can't avoid it all just by not knowing everything.
To get every answer wrong on a test, you actually need to know a lot.
However, the Head Admin's actions shown so far were a perfect wrong answer as a noble.
That, in turn, led to the expectation that they might be close to a noble.
"If they're not a noble… then that person must have used vulgar vocabulary their whole life."
"A person like that exists…"
"That's impossible."
"How can a person."
Everyone agreed.
A person would live outside too.
A person who lived like that… can they even be called a person.
Rather, thinking that way.
They became convinced that they were acting while wearing a mask.
"That makes me suspicious, but… the damage the Empire suffered from this Auction House incident is enormous. Are you saying a noble of the Empire attacked the Empire?"
"Yes. To expand their personal power. Or someone who is in the Empire but holds a grudge against it."
"…There are a few people that come to mind."
A few people came to mind.
There are people who are suspicious.
People who know noble etiquette well and are well-versed in the continent's affairs.
People who are in the Empire but hold a grudge against it.
It's not confirmed, but there were more than a few suspicious points.
"And the Head Admin likes chicken skewers."
"…Excuse me?"
"They like chicken skewers. Chicken skewers are more famous in the Empire than in the Kingdom."
So, the probability is high that they are from the Empire.
Logically speaking… they would be a noble inside the Empire who holds a grudge against it.
It was practically concluding towards that side.
If not that.
Then it would be a noble from the Kingdom who is loyal to the Kingdom….
Beatrice frowned.
'Why aren't they showing themselves?'
The fact that they don't reveal their identity was a big annoyance.
They have no choice but to hide their identity.
Or their position doesn't allow them to reveal it.
Either way, it left a bitter feeling in Beatrice's heart.
'I'd rather they were someone from the Kingdom hiding their identity.'
If that were the case, she could show them boundless favor as a Queen.
How could she hate someone who brings benefits to the Kingdom.
This Head Admin doesn't hide their power.
Rather, they show even greater power and suppress everyone.
While exerting influence on the continent, they lead the flow in their own way.
Truly the eye of the storm. They were the one who calls the storm.
And they are working for the Kingdom.
'How could I hate them…? And they don't seem to be the type to flaunt their power….'
Would they threaten the royal authority. That worry wouldn't be small.
If the Head Admin liked power, they would be causing a racket of tyranny right now.
But there was no such sign from the Head Admin at all.
But that's only when they reveal themselves.
Since they aren't revealing themselves… it seemed wiser to see them as someone from the Empire.
"If the Head Admin is from the Empire... is there anyone you're suspicious of?"
"There is. Viscount Hessen…."
"Viscount Hessen…."
"He's a scholar and knows a lot of information. They say he's not overly greedy but has many strange hobbies."
"That makes me definitely suspicious."
Queen Beatrice made a conclusion.
There's a high chance the Head Admin isn't in the Kingdom.
So she must bring the Head Admin to the Kingdom by any means necessary.
"…We must bring the Head Admin to our Kingdom. By any means."
To somehow keep the Kingdom's lifeline going.
Beatrice clenched her fist tightly.
