Chapter Title: Various Commotions in Switzerland
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Various major and minor commotions broke out in Switzerland.
The [Greater Demon] had been summoned along with the [Soul Stone], so Adelheid preserved it permanently as one of her [art pieces] to put it to good use somewhere.
"Please, spare me! Stop, anything but that!" the demon begged, but she showed no mercy.
The third-generation Satanist worried that the poor artist might get devoured by the demon.
But now, seeing her strengthened form that bore no resemblance to her former self, he felt a warm sense of relief.
Ah— not everyone in the [Six Freaks] was living well-fed and content.
There were plenty who committed crimes, or became kings of nations, or worshipped the tower as a god.
Most famous [Guardians] had died off, leaving only ragtag groups or the extremely powerful.
Even if life was tough, fond memories lingered.
The witch teared up as she served freshly baked bread, vegetables, and meat stewed in her cauldron to the starving legendary class holders.
The voodoo priestess, who had brewed medicine for a terminally ill woman too poor to afford it, felt her nose tingle at the sight of her now healthy.
The Satanist didn't have much to offer specifically, but he'd summoned [demons] to earn money or climbed the tower for resources, so he smiled, feeling like he'd at least added a spoon to the pot.
People in tough spots had to help each other out.
The Satanist, who—like the Saint—demanded payment for every skill and had [Lifespan] as his stat, meaning he'd die without climbing the tower.
The witch, versed in all sorts of magic including potion-making, but needing "fucking" enormous amounts of materials—some extinct and unobtainable.
And the voodoo priestess, specialized in dot damage, forced to go naked due to her class penalty, even for ritual purposes.
To them, the undying artist who couldn't kill monsters and thus couldn't even reach floor 1 was a comrade, even if unspoken.
"—I'm so happy to see you all again!"
"We haven't met since the festival."
"Truth is, our artist became too successful. Felt like a beggar latching on, hard to even say hi..."
"After that big score in Switzerland, I wanted to visit, buy some of the artist's works... but ended up like this."
"Even if we're poor beggars!! We're friends!!"
That one heartfelt line, brimming with emotion, brought tears to the trio's eyes.
As the artist comforted the Satanist spilling tales of hard days targeting only villains to avoid becoming like the first- or second-generation devil worshippers, the other two sensed potential couple vibes and backed off to give the Satanist a chance at survival.
Who'd risk a VTuber's career with romance? The fallout would be massive.
The Satanist knew it too, using the witch as a shield between them.
Anyway, grateful to be alive and healthy despite their trash classes, they hugged in joyful reunion.
Wakamo, moved by the heartwarming scene, teared up but gestured "wag the tail and die."
The Satanist and voodoo priestess got it instantly, nodding vigorously.
"No major criminal record to speak of. The worst was shoplifting from unmanned stores, kidnapping hospital patients to cure their terminal illnesses then charging treatment fees, or returning lost pets for rewards. Lately, they blew their budget buying a mountain lodge, so the three mined in the Russian tower."
"Way more pathetic than expected. Speechless, really."
Legendary classes with crimes or fame got swept by [Guardians] unless they were 【Invincible】 level.
Mid-tier crooks or recluses scraped by, but they were outlaws all the same.
The [Six Freaks]—an organization the Mediator formed for those sure to gain authority someday—had one positive: it gave these trash legendary class holders a place to cling together.
"The worst? Cursing noisy upstairs neighbors on commission for the voodoo priestess. Brokering demon pacts for revenge-seekers via the Satanist. Or the witch diverting discarded U.S. food to homeless, taming pigeons as familiars."
"So [Idols] are trashier classes than them?"
What a depressing night, suddenly feeling pathetic and blue.
They had criminal records, sure—but as real witches and demon worshippers, wiped from society, one wondered if they had any other way to live.
No major issues hiring them, so after manager consultation, they formed Yu Ing's support team.
Surprisingly, all three were summoner/buffer types—huge help for Yu Ing.
Pumpkin on the vine, rolling right in?
Anyway, Swiss cleanup? Asked the Swiss government to handle it. Time to enjoy remaining vacation.
The [Guardians] tried summoning a [Greater Demon], armed with Germany's new [Ether Prototype Firearms], alongside humanity's enemies [Ascenders] and [Man-eaters]—they'd flipped the nuke switch.
But the Korean president would sort it.
Yu Ing told Chairman Yung Wei; Asuka nagged her Inari fox goddess junior (important) to handle it.
Olga, catching the vibe, contacted President Dmitry.
Suddenly four presidents mobilized—actually five, as Eva relayed via U.S. Association head to their president.
May the Swiss Federal President wake to a nation burning in every sense—and good luck.

"Ahaha~ Come catch me~~"
"[Groooar~]"
Thanks to the trio's intimate Swiss knowledge, the group frolicked excitedly by an Alpine lake.
The pristine lake and scenery, meticulously maintained as a tourist spot, drew gasps of awe.
Adelheid's cute [Executioner Hunter] art piece—with a ribbon—chased her playfully.
The trio dashed ahead toward the lake, arms flailing joyfully.
The voodoo priestess couldn't equip gear, fine—but why were the others naked too? Turns out, wearing it was the only reassurance; tragic tales.
Wakamo teared up at the sudden death risk from stripping gear.
Tourists gawked at the [Man-eater],
but climbers with summons or familiars was common.
Monstrous looks aside, Adelheid's version caused no nuisance— no big issue.
Normally, it'd have massacred locals nearby.
"Feels like playing in water every day."
"Not teasing this non-swimmer, right Manager?"
"No waaay~"
Bear, fox, dragon—even bulked up by class—Wakamo was huge from the start.
Beautiful women with perfect proportions laughing together drew male gazes from all sides.
Brave souls asked to join or for numbers, but
idols couldn't date, so Wakamo shoved the manager forward.
"No marriage plans yet. Work's my lover? Thanks to who?"
"But President, aren't you married? Remarrying?"
"Seen Kang Taegong's face? Gotta be that league. Seimei was handsome too."
"Unwanted talk piling up—being a fox goddess is sad..."
Just chatting healed onlookers like a gathering of goddesses.
Fox and dragon had otherworldly mystique.
The bear among them slyly savored the stares, sipping booze.
"Yu Ing, your mom's hunting a new dad?"
"What about Sadako sis?"
"I'd rather she not marry some weirdo."
"Calling her 'mom' so naturally, you drunk."
At a distance, Yu Ing ate ice cream while Sadako poured whiskey over Haagen-Dazs, chatting amid crowds.
Some filmed sneakily, but Asuka erased all "As if."
Stricter than the manager at warding off approaches, yet her beauty drew men.
"Why's no one coming here~"
Men approached monster-playing Adelheid, but not chain-smoking Eva.
The astrologer Morpheus promised handsome entanglements.
Pure mystery why she babysat kids.
"Y'know Eva sis, without skills, what superpowers you got?"
"Mind control, metal manipulation, telekinesis, short-range teleport, phasing—"
"No climbers, you're omega-level mutant solo."
"Human experiment bait in the U.S."
"Right? Dreamed movie life, wrong genre. But you can screw with that ether stuff?"
"They armed with it, seemed weaker actually."
"Can't pierce the core, pointless."
Casual chit-chat among three.
Revisiting the [Guardians] they fought.
Pure ether users with 【Authorities】 were untouchable by [climbers], but Eva's—arguably [New Humanity]—raw powers worked fine.
Past Sadako risked [Mana Bullets], but [Ether Rounds] made her invincible, massacring Guardians despite numbers.
Plus Yu Ing didn't care about skill bans.
She handled [items]; enemy gear solved armament woes awhile.
Two 【Authority】-holding [cadre] corpses too—more necromancer than emperor, but...
Minor details ignored.
Her real puzzle: Russian tower bounty, global manhunt—
where'd the troops, arms, climbers come from?
"Nations aiding to check powers, for sure."
"Ask Uncle Robert?"
"No way he knows that deep."
"He does though."
Yu Ing pulled her smartphone to ping Robert on rumors.
Skeptical pair nodded at his "[Heard scary talk: clones infiltrating society!]"
"With Eva sis's tech to class-change fatigue, sure."
"Tower makes humanoid monsters; Black Tower can't?"
"Disguised as humans? Like horror flick [The Thing]?"
Regretting the topic, they switched.
Climbers instinctively distinguished monsters from humans; tower creations couldn't hide.
Probably pure tech-engineered clones.
"—Anyway, U.S. birthed [Guardians] post-Man-eater shock alongside tower emergence. Sketchy, right?"
Ultimately circling back: who’s the [Leader]? Still fog.
Exists for sure, but surface glimpses question: human?
"Kids!! Time to eat!!"
Climbing higher reveals it, probably.
At President Wakamo's call, all gathered.
Rented out a scenic restaurant entirely to avoid hassle.
Wakamo urged ordering freely—meat first.
"C'mon Yu Ing, eat lots to grow big?"
"Plumper than before, still small."
Yu Ing shoveled rice with meat grilled by Kang Yeoul and Mei.
Worried about fat? Climber + idol training built muscle, not flab.
Blissfully wolfing mom-grilled meat.
If Wakamo wished, she'd go food fighter—dutiful daughter era, stuffing cheeks.
"Drink water too."
Sadako warned passing by: all meat/rice chokes.
Martial artist claiming diet knowledge—beer mug only.
"Y'know, hate to say... Sadako, no meat?"
"Not eating solo with both hands? Just carrying?"
"Huh? What?"
She plopped empty mug on empty table, swigged the other smoothly.
"Eating booze (rice) with booze (side)? Only 40 bottles."
""No way""
40 bottles during grilling? Sadako left for refills.
Pity the staff hauling kegs.
Sadako emptied fridge booze.
Awe at the epic drunk's love, others munched meat.
"C'mon successful artist, eat up—I'll grill."
"Sob sob, thanks Witch sis."
"Meat after 2 years."
"Yeah."
"Asuka pities humans."
"Class gaps everywhere, Super AI."
Eva-friendly smoking spot.
Trio thoughtfully rented; Eva lit up watching joyful group.
Post-meal tourism, souvenirs,
played till sunset.
Superhuman bodies drained, back to lodge for drinks and revelry.
"Wahahaha—damn, Boss!! I love the Boss!!"
Wakamo bought booze with full wealth.
Splurged big: 30,000L oak barrels.
[Werebeast] strength barely lifted; she chugged one-shot before all.
Gulp gulp, no breath—drunk cheers, songs from members.
Amid it, Eva smoked leisurely, watching.
"Chopsticks in nostrils make laughs! Learned for banquets!"
"Asukaa—"
Once terrifying AI now precious; Eva fed her meat.
Witch arm-in-arm with [Executioner], chugging—
lone males Satanist and voodoo priestess danced/sang infectiously.
Screw dignity: clap, laugh, chatter.
"Nice, this too."
Elite stiffness fine, but simple living suited humans.
Chaotic merrymaking.
Nothing happier than freedom.
Idols shine doing what they want, she thought.
"Harder till 30."
Wakamo cried "Idols past 30 too!!"—but Eva wanted no 30+ idol life!!

Internet always noisy.
Expected, really.
[Guardians] resurfaced big-time, overwhelming climbers with new power.
Mysterious superior force 【Ether】.
Far fewer wielded it than mana.
[Qualifiers] recoiled at killing 10k+ for it.
Some chased non-kill authorities.
But cadre 【Authorities】 meant 10k+ murders.
Hostility spiked.
Next big issue: Germany's new weapons.
Gov claimed just sold [guns]; [Ether Rounds] separate.
Engineer-[Guardian] collab? [Six Freaks] betrayal? No, Germany aiding—hypotheses flew.
Then global alert blared.
【New Tower Alliance Born!】
【Germany tower anchors France, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Austria—27 towers total】
【Congrats on new [EU Alliance]!】
"Germany bares ambitions at last!!!"
"Sigh"
Eva sighed deeply as Adelheid armed up, ditching her drawing: "Finally time."
Ate Italy/Vatican, biggest force—new alliance leader.
German leadership vowed no backing down to returned Russia(?).
Olga spat tea at towers competing climbers to grow/stimulate.
"Germany vs Russia war?!"
Franticly grabbing guns, PTSD war cry.
"Tell Japan ally Germany?"
"What now"
Eva snapped at window-peeking Asuka.
Vacation over—wanted more rest.
