Viewer Missions - Adella, You Stubborn Cat, Please!!!

-Adella! Adella! Adella! Adella! Adella! Adella! Adella!

-Kya, so calm right up to the end

-She actually solo-cleared this lololol

A chaotic battle unfolded relentlessly. It was a brutal dogfight where each side desperately tried to inflict fatal wounds on the other.

Kying-!

"You little rat tail!"

"Ugh, you're stinking up the place—could you shut your mouth during a fight?"

Swords clashed, sending a sharp ring echoing through the study. Valrum's massive greatsword bore down on Adella mercilessly. Her legs trembled under the weight. Unable to withstand it, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Adella had no choice but to pull back.

"Churup."

She glanced at NoName, who was casting magic, and got a thumbs-up in return. Tuna flavor again—jackpot. NoName had synchronized Adella's tongue and Aura Heart with her own. Using Adella's Aura Heart remotely for spellcasting, she alternated churu and carrot flavors on the tongue while constantly feeding back combat advice.

It's ridiculous, but it works...!

The rumors about Arseria forest keepers being brilliant weren't exaggerated. NoName handled multiple tasks simultaneously with astonishing skill—casting timely spells to keep Valrum at bay, jumping in with her mace for joint attacks when Adella faltered, and guiding her to the optimal positions with innate combat sense. Thanks to the laurel leaves freeing her from rigid stances, Adella could clear her mind and view the situation objectively.

"I'll stuff you into a book on this shelf too!"

It looked like a mindless charge at first glance, but Valrum was surprisingly agile. Sensing it was time to counter rather than dodge, Adella gripped her dagger tightly and swallowed hard. She lowered her stance, knees bent, eyes wide. Her sharp gaze caught Valrum's left shoulder pulling back, and her movements flowed like water from there.

Adella's afterimage vanished from his sight in an instant. Startled, Valrum slowed, checking his blind spots first—but the nimble cat was nowhere.

"Over here, you pig bastard!"

Raising the arm below would inevitably create a blind spot in his vision. Adella exploited that split second, dropping from the ceiling to slash at his nape.

The moment she sensed victory, a chill of dread hit her.

Carrot...?

A thick carrot taste filled her mouth. Adella yanked back her dagger mid-strike. Why? It was the perfect chance to fell him.

She wasn't the only one thinking that—viewers piled on.

No sooner had BigMeatShield explained than Valrum's body lurched dramatically. Parry failure post-delay. His stance completely crumbled.

Spotting the opening, Adella read NoName's intent and kicked off the ground. Weight shifted to her forward foot as terrifying power surged into her dagger. Valrum belatedly crossed his arms to guard the closing distance.

Thung—

Her full-force slash was effortlessly blocked. It couldn't pierce his thick hide. Valrum's eyebrow and lip curled up.

"Just—"

"Not ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠over yet!"

Adella's speed didn't flag. She pivoted on her right foot, using momentum to spin rapidly. Her cloak flared, exposing her smooth white back and shoulder blades to Valrum's eyes—then her reverse-grip hand from behind targeted the giant's carotid.

Sek—

"Guhk...!"

"Die, please just die!"

Spinning full circle to face him again, Adella leaped onto his neck, driving the dagger deep with both hands.

"Die! Die!"

Unaware her eyes were bloodshot, she screamed death sentences repeatedly.

Shwaaak—

No more room for the blade. Adella pulled it out without hesitation. Crimson blood sprayed to the ceiling. As NoName's magic lifted and moonlight poured in, the study's eerie atmosphere deepened. Adella gasped out held breaths.

"Haa... haa..."

Prolonged focus left her brain drained. Fatigue crashed like waves. She wobbled briefly before her legs gave out on the cold marble—only for NoName to catch her.

"I'm covered in blood... dirty..."

Prioritizing others over herself, NoName smiled.

"You were cooler than anyone I've ever met."

"Even you think so, forest keeper? Haha!"

* * *

Parries weren't exclusive to players. Adella had suffered the same horror three times against Valrum's parry pattern. Her death meant game over, so NoName dropped ceiling barriers to rescue her each time—but with Valrum's skill Moonlit Body, victory was impossible for us.

Leaving groggy Adella, NoName flailed her mace desperately, but without laurel buffs, it was futile. Through cycles of pain and endurance, Adella finally succeeded.

Combat "instinct" is crucial above all. It's not superpowers—just accumulated experience reading gaze direction, foot placement, muscle contractions to predict patterns.

Pondering how to instill that sense in Adella led to the "carrot and churu" strategy. While overseeing her fights, I blasted churu flavor for good calls and carrot for bad ones via synced taste buds, imprinting the sensation.

Churu was just bland tuna oil to me—far worse than carrot—but for Adella, I'd endure.

"I did it! I actually did iiiiiit meooowwww!"

Her flailing limbs in my arms were comical.

A new window popped up, snapping my head around. I'd turned off everything except chat and donations.

Mission window?

When did this appear?

Scanning the backlog revealed piles of missions. Press a button, get cash?

I swiped to clear like emptying junk mail, but Manager stopped me hastily.

"What? Oh... you have to clear missions to claim?"

Clicking again showed details.

-Boss never accepted any, so they spammed blindly

Essentially, since advances were paid, fulfill them. Hmm... Gazing at the floating camera revealed its normally invisible form. Blinking red light meant broadcast normal.

Mostly host-hoppers, yet many lingered. Through the emotionless lens came a creepy sense of thousands' hopes.

V-sign's easy. Index and middle fingers up to camera.

-She's doing it ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

"Sis? I'm way younger than you guys."

-Even in Goguryeo watermelon helmets it's fact, you don't know?

-BoomerKid incarnate

Wink's just blinking. Acceptable. Pulled camera closer. Blink—

-Wink?

-Concept?

Light close-open. Blink blink.

-We call that closing eyes

So demanding. "Can't close just one eye well."

-Fr lolol

-Pls tell Kuma source!

"Asking kids with underdeveloped nerves to wink lacks consideration—facial and orbicularis oculi nerves aren't distinct yet."

-Self-proclaimed 7yo NoName underdeveloped lol

-Don't engage

"Next... Adella, come here?"

Easy missions—knock 'em out, prep next stage.

"Eung?"

Stroke stroke—

"Stop! Not in the mood!"

Words said, but tail shot up, tip curved.

"I don't like liars."

"Eek—"

While eyes closed, stretched cheeks long. Some cheeks mochi-stretch like this—Adella, Arin, Yuna too. Haru's were firm, well-cared.

-Endured this long for this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-No regrets even in death ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Straight murder lololol

Last ones tricky: handstand "granat" and Zero Two dance (arms up, hips sway).

-Do it quick!

-Zero Two = gal explodes lololol

-Over once accepted

Sorry, only way: coax Adella.

"Stretch before fighting."

"Stretch? Cat beastkin flexible, no need."

"Flexible? Doesn't look it."

"Really nya? Don't believe?"

"Handstand then?"

"Heng, too easy!"

Before words finished, she flipped midair, landing on hands. Dual-wield suited her—slim arms bulged with muscle.

-Why so naive lolol

"Already surprised? One hand easy."

Legs 90 degrees, other hand extended as said.

"...!"

Skirt risk—I blocked camera view.

-Skirt fell right? Def fell?

-Kraaaack!

NPC or not, lines to hold.

-Boss girl too, won't work lololol

-Fr lolol

Too delayed. Brushed dirt from Adella's dropped daggers, tossed to her iliac crests alternately.

"Catch."

"Hiyaaaak!"

Fresh from handstand, Adella dodged the flying blades sideways.

"Tossing weapons like that is dangerous!"

"Your Zero Two was fire though."

"What?"

"Isn't that the phrase?"

Haru said it's trending among kids. TikTok memes still tricky.
