Chapter Title: Another World’s Rush Apple Gallery
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dark Elves don't care about what others think.
Unlike elves who hide embarrassing things like scholars and act serious about everything, Dark Elves reveal most things.
For such Dark Elves, the Gallery was paradise.
Title) Just had sex, anyone online?
Got 3 fuck buddies, questions welcome.
Give me just one.
Preemptive strike.
You crazy bastard lol Taking money lol lol
Selling this lol
F*ck, is this a slave trader? lol
A fuck buddy trader is a new business model lol f*ck lol lol
Can I be a fuck buddy too?
What race are you?
I'm a Goblin.
Do Goblins Gallery-culture too these days?
The world has changed a lot lol lol
Goblins are surprisingly excellent.
?
Bro.
How do you know that, sir?
Ah, never mind.
What, don't give up.
The Gallery was a place filled with such posts.
Dark Elves could enjoy the Gallery while revealing their true nature.
The Queen of Ardel. Serendia. What could be different?
She was the same.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"As expected, there are fun posts overflowing today too."
Reading the vulgar, undignified, and blatant posts, she smiled.
Her very instincts were designed to like this.
No, wouldn't most people like it?
It's the elves who say it's dirty while pretending to be neat that are strange.
Serendia carefully read the Gallery posts.
Drinking coffee was the start of her daily routine.
She usually spent her time that way.
[Cannot access this region.]
"……."
At the message that greeted her, Serendia frowned. She rubbed her eyes and opened them again, but the message didn't change.
Can't access the region? Seriously? She tried several times, but it was impossible.
The Gallery was rejecting her.
She had reconnected several times, but seeing the same message, her annoyance flared up.
'What? I told you to refrain from tracking because Ardel's location could be exposed. And now you're blocking Ardel entirely?'
But Serendia was righteous.
She had just acted first because she didn't know what schemes they might plot after discovering Ardel's important base!
Serendia thought about accessing the Gallery... and remembered the Head Admin.
'Is this a challenge?'
Does she think she'll surrender just by doing this? Serendia was confident.
There's no way anything would happen just because she couldn't enter one Gallery.
"Your Majesty!"
She believed nothing would happen.
"A riot has broken out!"
"...What?"
"A riot has broken out, centered on the citizens."
"What's the scale?"
"...Currently at least hundreds, possibly thousands. The scale is still growing."
Her head ached. Serendia pressed down on her eyelids and thought.
Why a riot now...? At this situation...?
Should she dispatch the Knights and Assassins to crush them all?
No, that shouldn't be done.
Unlike the pale-eared ones, Ardel was united.
They must avoid pointing swords at each other as much as possible.
Dark Elves only have each other to trust.
Wielding swords just because they gathered in the plaza.
This was not the right method, no matter how she thought about it.
Eventually, Serendia suppressed her instincts and looked for a rational solution.
"What are their demands?"
A riot wouldn't break out for no reason. They must have something they want.
Serendia was thinking of meeting their demands.
If there's a riot in Ardel, where internal strife doesn't happen... it must be a serious matter...
"'Lift the Gallery region block.' That was it."
"……."
"It's true."
The knight's words, added as if worried she wouldn't believe them, made her head ache even more.
A riot over something like that...?
But she agreed.
It had already been 30 minutes since she couldn't access the Gallery.
She was at the point where her hands were trembling from Gallery withdrawal symptoms.
Serendia clenched her fists tightly.
"...Elect a representative from that side and bring them here."
She just wanted to resolve this quickly.
A moment later.
A tall Dark Elf man entered Serendia's audience chamber.
"The representative of the group that caused the riot. My name is Dern. Your Majesty."
"Yes."
He greeted her with a gesture of respect.
Walking straight towards her, he got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty. I ask that you lift the block on the Gallery region."
Dark Elves don't beat around the bush.
Even the Queen couldn't avoid a conversation style that stabbed directly.
"...Why are you telling me this?"
At Serendia's feeble excuse.
He too stabbed a fact directly at the Queen.
"Because Your Majesty was the one who first touched the Head Admin's nerve. If it weren't for Your Majesty, the regional ban wouldn't have been applied."
'The one who applied the regional block was the Head Admin. It's not my fault.'
If she said that, the atmosphere would surely turn to shit. God knows what crazy response she'd get.
She just spat out one line to preserve her pride somehow.
"...That guy is a danger to Ardel. So I should just leave him alone?"
"What's wrong with leaving him alone? Is there no other way than to antagonize the Head Admin?"
"……."
"What do you think would have happened if you had been on good terms with the Head Admin?"
'Why is he so good at talking?'
Hearing it this way, striking the Head Admin first seems like a mistake.
Serendia quietly shut her mouth.
Even if she made excuses, she couldn't overcome his way with words.
"Ardel was abandoned by the Head Admin due to Your Majesty's unilateral actions."
"……."
"You must resolve this quickly. This wave will only grow larger from now on."
"...So you're saying I should bow my head to the Gallery Head Admin?"
"Wouldn't it be better to bow than to have your neck broken? Or there's another method. Using the guillotine."
"……."
He's telling her to apologize properly. She absolutely hates that.
Defiance rose within her. Serendia raised her气势 and stared at the man's eyes.
Under the pressure of her气势 and killing intent, his body began to tremble.
Yet, as expected of the one sent as a representative. He didn't avoid her gaze at all.
"Hoo…."
Everything he said was right. If she tried to protect her pride, her neck would be on the line.
But bowing her head... her pride wouldn't allow it.
While Serendia was weighing her options in her head, Dern presented a different opinion.
"Your Majesty. This incident is actually an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
"Yes! An opportunity!"
He caused a riot and now says this? Is he crazy?
But his expression was more serious than anyone else's.
Even Serendia was flustered by his spirit.
"...Let's hear it."
"Others want to build a relationship with the Head Admin but can't. Because the Head Admin is very conservative in that regard."
"Is that so...?"
She didn't really know. But Serendia just nodded.
She didn't know things like diplomacy, relations, or international affairs.
It was more comfortable to quietly handle everything.
"Yes. Through this matter, Ardel is now in a crisis, but we have created a connection with the Head Admin."
Hearing it, it sounded plausible.
Others can't even get involved with the Head Admin, but we got an opportunity.
"If we use this, it becomes a stepping stone for a reversal. If we help him when he's in a dangerous or difficult situation…."
"His heart will turn?"
"Yes. Ardel's image will be complete as a nation he can trust, that won't harm him."
"If that happens…."
"The Head Admin will have no reason to attack Ardel. It's rare to stab a benefactor in the back. And we can build a deep relationship."
"Hey. But what if he stabs us?"
"Then we can stab him back."
"Hoh."
Thinking about it, it's a good idea.
No, can we really resolve it like this?
Serendia thought deeply and made a decision.
"I'll talk to the Head Admin and ask him to lift Ardel's regional block. And if he 'promises' to grant my personal request, Ardel won't have any problems either."
"A promise is good, but…."
"I'll resolve this by today."
"…."
Before the man could finish speaking, Serendia packed her personal equipment and left.
"Haa…."
I hope she doesn't do anything crazy.
A promise is good, but she should refrain from making dangerous remarks.
He was afraid of the Queen's solo action, but there was no one here to stop her.
Serendia, who had left the castle, clicked her tongue.
She had to leave Ardel to communicate.
It would take two full days by carriage.
If she ran there directly, she could make it in half a day, but it wasn't an easy schedule.
"...Damn it."
Serendia wrapped her body in mana and stepped onto the ground.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Title) Seems like there are fewer people today?
Is something going on?
Ardel got banned lol lol
Oh really?
All the Ardel members left, so Gallery post speed is slow lol lol lol
So Dark Elves were Gallery-culturing a lot lol
Real talk lol lol lol
Well, they're in a dark place so they have nothing to do lol
Real talk, that's true
And they just like to play
Unlike elves who act shy while going "ahem", they're different, for real.
Really? Old-timer Elves seem to have fun
Is that them playing, or their grandkids playing with them?
It's the grandkids playing with them lol
Plant Druid) I'm not like that!!!!
lol lol lol
Got you, got you lol
It's a known fact that Dark Elves like to play, they'll definitely Gallery-culture
The ratio of Gallery-culturing is high
Among the leaked pics in the Gallery, Dark Elves probably have the highest share?
lol Real talk, Dark Elves are sexy so they're popular too
"That's right."
The Head Admin, who was Gallery-culturing, also nodded.
Dark Elves are passionate and show off their chests well. Occasionally, nude pics are also posted.
Because of that, she regretted blocking Ardel.
'F*ck, should I unblock it now?'
If I just say I let it slide and unblock them, they won't be so cocky.
This is the moment she misses the Dark Elf sisters' chocolate skin.
Even looking at the pictures of the Dark Chocolate Elf sisters saved on her computer, she'd get tired after rewatching them a few times.
She needed new chests. But it was an unavoidable choice.
─Head Admin
Title) Sad but true
I sacrificed the Dark Elves' chests for the greater good.
This bastard is giving up on chests lol
As expected of the Gallery Head Admin lol You're enduring this?
Be honest
Head Admin) I'm regretting not being able to see them...
lol lol lol
You bastard lol
I knew it lol
If it were me, I would've unblocked and saved the sexy pics lol
If it were me, I would've blocked the Beastkin Kingdom Vier first
Why the Beastkins lol
Exterminate the Furries. For real.
Why the Furries all of a sudden lol
They shed fur lol
Honestly, Furries are fine, right? Agree?
Furries are a no-go...
Hide your fur first before talking f*ck lol
The fur makes my nose itch, real talk lol
I want to exterminate the Dwarf Tactical Nukes f*ck
Waiting
Stop bringing them here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title) Is she getting revenge on Ardel?
Expected post) BREAKING - Head Admin found dead
King-ibility exists, so always carry a book in your jacket.
Does the book block the sword?
No, hugging the book makes you warm lol
lol Real talk, you gotta warm up your stomach lol
The stomach is important lol
If your stomach is cold, it's bad for your body lol
Serendia's personality is shit, she's probably on her way with a sword right now
Am I screwed?
But there are plenty of dangerous bastards in the world besides Serendia.
Serendia isn't so much dangerous as a cornered rat.
Do rats swing swords these days?
Crabs swing them.
─(Image of a crab swinging a sword.jpg)
Why is this real? Why does this exist f*ck What is this lol
Gallery users who knew Dark Elves well sensed the danger.
Dark Elves? They don't care about appearances. Or maybe they just don't have any.
They don't even beat around the bush. They just stab directly.
It's not just words, they stab with swords too, which is the problem.
So, the Head Admin should also act moderately to survive. Worried, but posts started coming up again.
─Head Admin
Title) Dark Elves?
I don't negotiate with rioters.
Power struggle ON lol
A battle to see who gives in first lol
Ardel vs Head Admin annihilation battle lol
Then the Dark Elf sisters won't post their tits?
─Head Admin) Seriously, should I unblock?
lol lol lol
Is your resolve really shaking?
Tits are a serious matter lol
So who's gonna win?
One of them has to die for it to end.
Gallery users were munching on popcorn watching the face-off between the Head Admin and Ardel.
It's fun just to watch. What if the Queen of Ardel, Serendia, showed up in this situation?
Everyone was hoping for that scenario.
Title) What's Serendia doing now?
Yeah?
Probably sleeping now.
Isn't it lunchtime now?
She usually wakes up after lunch.
Waking up at lunch is common sense, no?
lol lol Is the Queen a freeloader?
Any special correspondents in Ardel?
Even if there is, they can't come to the Gallery, so what's the point?
It's hard to get into Ardel.
This race is banned from entry, how can we get in?
Secretly?
Knock on the door, run away, then sneak in.
f*ck lol
If you enter Ardel's territory, you'll get beaten up by Dark Elves lol
Beaten up?
*Slurp* My mouth is watering.
Wipe your saliva, you bastard lol
Unless you're a merchant who has already stacked favor with Dark Elves, it's nearly impossible.
Even then, most of it is territory, and only a few can enter the underground city.
Ardel is such a place. Closed off, entry impossible for outsiders.
Even if you cross the border, it's common to not find the entrance.
As expected of a race specialized in assassination. They live gathered in places out of sight.
Not only that, but their racial characteristic is an unyielding violence.
Real talk, bribes don't work on Dark Elves. They're suspicious of other races even if you bribe them.
Are they a thug nation? lol
From the guards to the nobles, they're all the same lol lol
f*ck lol
Is the Queen different? That's not it either lol They don't listen.
Real talk?
She threw a cup at the envoy. That's legendary lol
The cup was generous lol
One time, when confronted about something clearly done by Dark Elves, she threw a skewer while eating lamb skewers lol
Did it stick in her arm?
Yeah.
lol Dizzy lol
That crazy bitch lol lol
Arm skewer lol lol
The only thing you can trust with Dark Elves is one thing. 'A promise'
They'll say "I'll keep my promise." Just ignore them unless it's on a contract.
Promise) Dark Elf-style oath. The key is documentation. Physical evidence is important.
Thanks for the explanation wagon
Title) Let's forgive Ardel
It's possible because Serendia is pretty.
What's possible lol
Do I really have to say it out loud?
I'll show you with my actions.
Pants are down. Waiting.
No need.
I'll show you. Waiting.
No I said I don't need it!!!!!!!!
Is Ardel's ban lifted?
The Ardel Guardians are already here. Damn.
She's pretty, but her personality is fiery, so that's a problem lol
If she's pretty, that can be forgiven too.
Agreed...
So she gets angry during the day but cools off at night after seeing his face?
Dark Elves are dark at night so you can't see them, how do you see them?
You crazy bastard lol
No, turn on the light at night lol
Most of them do it with the lights off lol
lol Only those with good night vision can see them lol
What if you can't see?
If I can't see, I might put it in the front but end up putting it in the back lol
f*ck lol
What would Serendia think if she saw this post?
If it were me, I'd find them all and slaughter them lol
"...Should I slaughter them?"
Serendia, having accessed the Gallery, saw the real-time posts and her anger flared up.
These shitty bastards. She's not on the Gallery for a moment and they're already targeting her?
Of course, getting angry wouldn't change anything.
Title) Predicting Serendia's next move, for real
She'll cry and apologize. Yeah.
Why would she cry f*ck lol
Even if you tortured her to death, she wouldn't shed a single tear.
Does it come out below?
Gushing
Oh, holy water
Holy water lol
A 1000:1 ratio of blood to tears would be hard to achieve lol
lol At that point, the currency exchange would go out of business
Blood is dirt cheap lol
Blood prices are crashing these days...
Title) Serendia lurking right now gets an upvote
First, me lol
How many Queens are in the Gallery lol lol lol
Upvote lol
There's a button, how can I resist lol
But seriously, it's better to apologize now and quickly sort out the relationship.
As time passes, it'll turn into a cold war.
If Ardel enters a cold war, won't an assassination battle unfold f*ck?
The Queen who drank black tea dies.
The Head Admin who collected sexy pics in the Gallery dies.
That's scary as hell lol
Please apologize and stop here!!!!!!!!
If a war breaks out, Gallery-culturing is out of the question. Lives are at risk.
Hoping for the best,
The Gallery was encouraging Serendia's apology.
That was a good atmosphere for Serendia. She was planning to apologize anyway.
"...Then I just have to do it."
Right, it's simple.
Serendia pressed the write button and posted.
─Serendia
Title) Sorry
F*ck Unblock me
So,,, you crazy bastard, you did it first!!
?lol lol lol lol
You crazy b*tch lol crazy b*tch lol crazy b*tch lol crazy b*tch lol crazy b*tch lol
Seems like you don't know what an apology is lol
You haven't been beaten enough yet lol
No, go back lol
Nah lol The Gallery will never be opened lol
Where's the 'sincerity'? lol
Oh lol
Serendia's mirror match lol lol lol
She couldn't let go of her pride until the end.
But does that matter? She bowed her head at least.
─Head Admin
Title) Hm.
OK;
Are you really accepting this?
lol lol lol
You crazy bastard lol
How can you accept this lol
This bastard is crazy about chests lol
But are you really going to unblock it like this?
─Head Admin
Title) But for free?
When you got banned, it was free, but Unbanning isn't free lol
I knew it lol
Can't resist chests lol
First, let's get the chests lol
Head Admin) lol Upvote for chests
"F*ck... Are you serious...?"
Serendia's pupils trembled greatly.
She had just been thinking about how to resolve this, but the Head Admin's response was beyond her expectations.
A demand for chests, not an apology.
She had to decide whether to accept this absurd condition or not.
But looking at the Gallery posts, the atmosphere was already leaning one way.
If she refused here, the Gallery would mock her as a stingy queen who couldn't even sacrifice her body for her people.
Serendia clenched her teeth.
'This fucking bastard...'
He was hitting her right where it hurt.
Serendia, who had been lost in thought for a moment, eventually made a decision.
She had to endure it for the sake of her people who were suffering from Gallery withdrawal.
"...Fine."
She made up her mind and started to prepare.
After a while.
A new post appeared on the Gallery.
─Serendia
Title) Here.
Unblock now.

"...Is this for real?"
Serendia's pupils trembled violently.
