The Clan Assembly! With 30 Minutes Left Until the Galaxy Express Clash!
The day before the clan war, the Galaxy Express Gallery had turned into a wilderness where human beings no longer belonged.
“We might not be able to fill all thirty slots, but what matters is that I’m the one who made this clan, and I’m the one who takes first place with the members I picked!”
The decent clan members might already have found their homes.
But this was Galaxy Express’s first clan war.
There was no need to despair because not everyone had found a clan yet...!
Hawawa! This middle school girl wants to do the clan war too, but she doesn’t have a clan to join!
So this middle school girl made a clan!

The clan’s name is Hawawa Middle School Girl!
This middle school girl needs strong big brothers!
Actually, big sisters are fine too, so she needs secret friends to play with!
(A photo that basically emphasizes how much higher the power requirement is than other clans)
Big brothers and big sisters who want to join the clan, leave your nickname in the comments!
“Whoa... only five minutes have passed, and there are already thirty comments?”
The post looking for clan members filled up in no time at all.
There were plenty of comments struggling to force out a joke, but there were also quite a few serious reactions.
“Heh heh heh... this is exactly what I wanted. It’s not like I sponsored twice for no reason!”
The gallery descended into even more chaos, full of people excited because I was a girl and people who were falling into what could only be called “strategic contemplation” over my absurd carry power.
Maybe about twenty percent of them were just having fun setting the place on fire, though.
Anyway, since I’d made enough noise, should I go ahead and open Galaxy Express and take a look at the clan’s status?

〔Hawawa! It’s a paradise for cute middle school girls and big brothers and big sisters!〕
〔If you don’t score a triple during clan war period, the middle school girl will punish you!〕
Since the clan had been created less than thirty minutes ago, it naturally didn’t have thirty members yet.
But I could tell.
There were a ridiculous number of people who wanted into this clan!
⊳ Open applications waiting
⊳ Overflowing with eager applicants
“Amazing! Amazing! Totally amaaaazing!!!”
I’d have to inspect the applicants one by one, but the fact that the application pile was already overflowing meant this was a massive success.
Without even realizing it, I got to my feet and clapped like a madwoman, making a huge fuss over how well Hawawa Middle School Girl was doing.
“Heh... I wrote the power cutoff seriously too, so I hope some really strong people will come!”
Feeling thrilled, I quickly began sorting through the applicants.
Even though more than ninety-nine people had applied, Galaxy Express let me freely inspect the state of the other person’s characters, so there was no problem.
“First, there probably won’t be anyone as inefficient as me who forced a level 90 character, so I shouldn’t just look at max level; I should check the character’s breakthrough status!”
Six breakthroughs were basically a requirement, weren’t they...
I wanted to team up with people who had at least one of the two, HaeunRich or Sere, at six dupes.
Of course, if I could fill all thirty slots with users at my level—people who had both characters at full-dol-ful-jae—that would be the strongest possible lineup, but that was a pretty high hurdle, wasn’t it?
“If I filter out accounts that are obviously free-to-play, and also cut 1-breakthrough and card-only-plus-weapon users, this should be the range.”
...Wait, had I maybe drawn way more aggro than I thought?
Just in case, I checked the gallery, but the clan recruitment post hadn’t been deleted.
I’d sorted through nearly two hundred applicants already, and there were still seventy accounts left that had at least six-breakthrough characters?
“Is this what they mean? Those with strong power recognize strong power?!”
Come to think of it, there had been a few accounts that, like me, had two max-dol-ful-jae characters.
Of course. Once you spend money, you want to play with people who spend at a similar level.
For now, I should snatch up the people whose combat power was on an entirely different tier!
These were the experts I didn’t need to play hard to get with.
“The user ‘IAmAloneInBreakthroughs’ has joined the clan.”
“The user ‘SereSoftBoobs’ has joined the clan.”
“The user ‘MaeRinAbortionPunch’ has joined the clan.”
“The user ‘Pioneer’ has joined the clan.”
“Ugh... w-what kind of ID is that?”
I really didn’t want to accept someone with an ID like that into our clan, but his combat power was incredible.
“The user ‘RenaKo’sPrincessPalaceExplorer’ has joined the clan.”

Filling the remaining ten slots turned out to be harder than expected.
From this point on, everyone’s combat power and breakthrough status were all more or less the same.
So, and I’m sorry to say this to the applicants, I needed to take a close look at what kind of activity they were doing in the Galaxy Express Gallery.
It would probably be better to accept people who used the gallery seriously and genuinely loved the game, right?
But what was I supposed to do with people who spent all day writing posts about wanting to screw RenaKo or wanting to skip rope with Sere’s hair? Was I supposed to think they loved the game?
“Ugh... anyway, this is the annoying part about being a woman. I can’t do this while brushing my teeth. Not this.”
Sitting on the toilet while fiddling with my phone in my right hand felt like a ridiculous waste of time.
When I was a man, I could brush my teeth and do this at the same time!
Last time I tried it just in case, white foam had dribbled out of my mouth and only increased the amount of laundry I had to do, though.
As I listened to the sound of running water for no reason at all, I rested my chin in my hand.
“...My own body doesn’t even turn me on when I look at it.”
I didn’t have that kind of fetish in the first place, and looking down at the lower half of my own body did absolutely nothing for me.
No, and this is a visual perspective you only get once you’ve really become a woman...! Even when I tilt my head down and look, I can’t see anything!
You need to see something before it gets hot. I can’t see anything. Why would I feel sexy when I can’t see anything?
─ Buuuuzz!
“A-Ah! W-Why! Seriously! Why does the phone only ring when I’m thinking about this?!”
“Hello, President Kwon Seah. This is Chief Secretary Lee Eunbyul. Do you have a moment to talk? There’s something you need to check.”
...I’m in the bathroom. Is it okay to answer this? No, she must’ve called instead of texting because it’s urgent, right?
“Ahem...! Yes, I’ve answered the call.”
“Hello. This is Secretary Lee Eunbyul. Are you available for a quick call right now? There’s something you need to confirm.”
“Did the Chinese side send another request to revise the contract?”
“Ah—no. This isn’t about business. Do you remember Mr. Jeong, the chauffeur?”
...No, Chief Secretary unnie, I’m really sorry, but I don’t know anything, okay?
“Hmm... I vaguely remember him from last time, but could you explain?”
“You really don’t remember Mr. Jeong? Ah... that’s why you haven’t contacted him at all.”
Hey, please don’t just draw your own conclusions—explain it!
“Mr. Jeong is someone who used to work under young lady.”
...That’s the whole explanation?
Oh, is this maybe that? The chauffeur you always see in chaebol stories!
So that’s why I hadn’t seen him. He was supposed to be someone I called, but because ‘Kwon Seah’ had deleted every single chat room, I had no way of knowing?
“Ah... I think I remember now. Did something happen to him?”
“No, nothing like that. Well... he has something he needs to deliver to young lady, and he was being extremely careful asking whether you were still feeling unwell and whether it would be okay to meet you.”
“Oh, I’m fine. Should I contact him myself?”
“No, no. He’ll probably be nearby, and it sounds like he’s planning to come upstairs with the item.”
...Come upstairs?
Wait a second! I’m wearing only a tank top, with dolphin shorts hanging around my ankles while I’m using the bathroom!?
“Five minutes...! Tell him to come up in five minutes! Five minutes!”
“Yes, understood—”
I quickly hung up and flushed the toilet.
If it were normal, I’d just say, “Please leave it by the door,” but...!
The fact that this Mr. Jeong was insisting on delivering something directly to me, without even telling Chief Secretary Lee Eunbyul what it was, made my instincts flare up hard.
There was definitely something going on. Even without some womanly sixth sense, the situation was obviously suspicious, wasn’t it?
“Ah... wh-what should I wear?! Ugh, ugh! I can’t let him think I look weird!”
I’m lucky I shower every day. Even if I smell my armpits or my arms, I don’t stink!
“Oh, clothes... ughhh!”
Fine, whatever!
I grabbed the black blouse, vest, and flared trousers hanging nearby and threw them on in a rush.
I guess I don’t need panties or a bra, right? I’m not planning to show him anything anyway. The clothes are thick, so it doesn’t look like anything would show through, either.
─ Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
“Please wait a moment! Mr. Jeong!”
What, five minutes already? There was no way I could neatly hang up the dolphin shorts and tank top I’d tossed on the floor in a hurry.
I dashed out of the dressing room in a panic and opened the front door.
“It’s been a while, Miss Seah.”
When I opened the door, a man stood there with a few white hairs beginning to show in his otherwise black hair, a face younger and healthier than I’d expected.
“It’s been a while for me too. I’ve been awfully out of touch, haven’t I?”
“Not at all... not at all. I’d also heard that you’d gone out with Miss Siyoung, so I was relieved to hear you were doing well.”
...Oh, come to think of it, I’d been riding around in my cousin’s car this whole time, hadn’t I?
And Chief Secretary Lee Eunbyul had come to pick me up last time too?
From Mr. Jeong’s perspective, didn’t that look unbelievably suspicious?
“Hmm... sorry. I’ll be honest with you. Since I woke up, some parts of my memory have been a bit blurry, so I didn’t remember you, Mr. Jeong.”
It’s better to be clear than to tell a clumsy lie.
“So that was it... I suspected as much, since you didn’t ask me for the medicine you usually receive this month.”
“Medicine...?”
“Yes. It’s the errand you always have me run for you at the end of each month.”
Mr. Jeong held out the black suit bag in his hands toward me, showing me the pure white medicine packets inside.
No... sir? Isn’t that bag way too big?
And isn’t this illegal? Can some other guy really go get the prescription I’m supposed to take and bring it here like this? That shouldn’t be allowed, right?
...Was this just the power of the chaebol, too? He must’ve picked it up from a foundation hospital or something like that.
Hanseong Seoul Hospital
Just as I’d expected. As befits the number one chaebol in South Korea...
“Thank you for your trouble. You must’ve had a rough time because I forgot.”
“Not at all. I’m simply truly relieved to see that young lady is healthy.”
“Would you like to come inside for some tea? There isn’t anything fancy, though...”
“No, that won’t be necessary. You can call for me anytime later if you need anything.”
No, wait... I’ll probably only be going to the mart or convenience store in front of the house from now on, though?
Before I could bring myself to tell the truth, Mr. Jeong bowed at a perfect ninety degrees and then turned and left, closing the door behind him.
...Could it be that Kwon Seah and Mr. Jeong weren’t on good terms? No, but if they weren’t, would she really have trusted him with the medicine errand?
Then I guess they were on good terms? If I ever have to go somewhere even a little far away, it’d be okay to ask him for help, right?
“Anyway, a medicine I take every month...”
As I turned back toward my room, I checked the medicine bag.
Hanseong Seoul Hospital
Prescription List
- Sertraline 50 mg – once a day / after breakfast
- Lorazepam 0.5 mg – twice a day / morning and before bed
- Aripiprazole 2 mg – once a day / after lunch
“...What? These are antidepressants?”
When I searched the clearly labeled medications, the explanation came up right away.
But I’d been healthy, hadn’t I? I’d just been terribly bored because there was a huge lack of dopamine in the middle.
“Maybe I don’t even need to take them? Medications are supposed to be used properly and not abused~”
I really did feel bad for Mr. Jeong, but it didn’t seem like I needed these.
And after reading the effects more closely, I saw they could make you sleepy, but I’m living a very exciting life right now!
I shoved the unexpectedly heavy medicine bag into my desk drawer without much care and ripped off the clothes I was wearing.
“Ahh...!!! Seriously, nothing beats wearing just dolphin shorts and a tank top with nothing else on!”
Ah, but I guess I should wear a bra. Something’s been brushing against the tip ever since earlier, and it’s annoying...
