The True Grand Alliance with Lilith!
“First things first! Today is the day I’m doing a collab with Lilith, right? Let’s save the Militech Shop browsing and the full-on package whaling for another time!”
“Ah, Arnyang... next time you buy packages, try your best to avoid the landmines, nyang.”
“You and everybody else are really treating me like some total sucker, huh? I’m not about to spend real cash on something I can solve with Trailblaze Power in-game!”
The packages I absolutely felt I had to buy had, in truth, a very simple condition.
“I’ll only buy them if they contain items you can only get with money, or things you can’t buy any other way except through whaling!”
[First time I’ve seen someone buy a 120,000-won skin package]
[She looks like she’d wipe her butt with a 10,000-won bill]
[You might as well buy a whole truck!!!]
“Anyway! Like Arnyang said, let’s stop with the package-buying and enjoy the ‘Please Take Care of Our Station’ event from here on out, nyang!”
I clapped along with perfect timing and cheered loudly.
“The rules for this minigame are very simple, nyang!”
“My character and Lilith’s character will be placed on the left and right sides.”
“Between us, there’s a conveyor belt spitting out items, nyang!”
“Once per round, you pick one of the three items that ride out on the conveyor belt and use it to decorate your station!”
“After five rounds, the space station we’ve worked hard to build will be judged through Pazik’s voting system, nyang!”
[If it already looks like a garbage bin, throw an upvote lol]
[I feel like the host is better at building than she is]
[Lilith is honestly hopeless when it comes to aesthetics]
“All right, then let’s begin, nyang! Lilith on the right, Arnyang on the left—let’s build our stations, nyang!”
─ Beep!
The moment Lilith pressed the start button, the minigame began at once.
Cheerful, lively BGM kicked in, and at the same time three items appeared on the conveyor belt.
From here on out, I had to grab one of those three items and use it to decorate the station.
【Hresvelgr’s Lamp Thruster】
【TerraTech ─ Special Barrier Wall (Real Black)】
【The Giant Soul Jam of Arcanos】
[What’s the optimal first pick here?]
[Absolutely not the Giant Soul Jam, yep]
[Soul Jam, go go go Soul Jam go go go]
“Hmm... this is tricky. This one! I get to pick first, right?”
“That’s right, nyang! You’ve only got thirty seconds, so think fast, nyang!”
“Then in situations like this, the correct answer is always to pick the thing that looks expensive!!”
As expected, the special barrier wall looked every bit as expensive as its name suggested.
The drab gray concrete blocks transformed into sleek, pretty black barriers, and the space station itself took on a remarkably clean, polished look.
“Uuugh! It looks so ugly, nyang!”
The so-called lamp thruster turned out to be a jellyfish with twenty tentacles.
A lamp dangled from its head, and it had wrapped those tentacles all around the space station.
“Oh... Lilith, that’s your taste? I mean, tentacle stuff is kind of too gross for me...”
“Don’t say weird things, nyang!”
[There are so many trap items in this one]
[Lilith’s station is already basically an alien nest, isn’t it?]
[That nest over there actually looks freaking pretty though??]
“Hurry up! Hurry! Give me the next item, nyang!”
At Lilith’s shriek, the items for round two popped out.
【Space Station Blueprint - Roll, Little Square Station】
【BFG-9999 MK.2】
【A Sparkling Milky Way for You!】
“Ah, at least write the item names properly, nyang!”
“Wow... isn’t there like, a preview or something?”
I really, really wanted to pick the blueprint that looked the most harmless!
“Aah~! I wanted tha—”
“Nyaaaahhh!!!”
Apparently Lilith had picked another trap.
Her station turned into a cereal box being subjected to tentacle play.
[Whoa, it seriously looks disgustingly awful]
[Heeey, jellyfish onee-san, I’m dying... ]
[Guaaah!!!]
─ Clank, clank!
The true identity of this item was a big, beautiful, enormous Gatling gun.
With loud metallic rattling, it mounted itself onto the station’s missile battery in an instant, and a surprisingly cool aura began pouring off of it.
“Th-this isn’t fair, nyang! Why is it that only Arnyang keeps getting cool, normal-looking items?!”
Just as Lilith grumbled in frustration, the third item popped out.
Tch. This minigame is way trap-heavy.
【Space Station Blueprint - The Great Citadel】
【Take Care of the Space Lifeform! ─ Super Chaos Exotic Edition】
【Lucky Random Box】
“Hmm... The Great Citadel would be that one, right? The absurdly huge ancient space station from that story?”
Hmph, but that one wasn’t really my style.
It had the look of a triangular, conical pillar, and while a fair number of fans seemed to love it, I personally didn’t care for it at all.
“I’ll go with this!!”
The dark matter thruster was a rather rugged-looking engine that spewed out luminous purple flames.
There was no twist where it turned out to be a jellyfish or a reindeer; it was just the sort of thing that would look perfectly fine mounted on any ship.
“Arnyang! If you keep being so picky, you’ll never make a cool station! Like Lilith—wh, wha?!?!”
“Lilith? Wait... is it because it’s the same blueprint item, so it won’t apply?”
“Y-you should warn people about this kind of thing beforehand, nyaaang!!!”
[No, this is Lilith’s fault for buying the same blueprint twice lol]
[Ah!! Mom! I already bought shoes! I can’t wear any more pairs even if you buy them!!]
[She’s so screwed lol]
“Anyway, let’s move on! Maybe something better will come up this time, Lilith!”
The next round is the last one, right? I should probably start picking my blueprint too!
The plain station was shaped like a screw and looked ugly as hell.
【A Fountain of Endless Money!】
【Nanobot Gatling Cannon】
【Reinforced Striker ─ Orion Squadron】
“I-I’m going to choose this one, nyang!”
The fountain was an effect that spewed gold coins like a stream of water.
“Lilith... this really is your taste?”
“N-nooo, it isn’t, nyang!!!”
Lilith’s space station, which now looked like a cereal box, was wrapped in the jellyfish’s tentacles and shook from side to side, showering gold coins everywhere each time it moved.
[Why did you tell them to build a station if they’re making porn art instead]
[This can’t go up on YouTube, can it?]
[Whoa lol this is even more cursed than the stations from the hot page]
“Pffft...!”
More than fifty space fighters burst out from inside the station in an instant and began circling around it.
[Honestly, the fact that Lilith got greedy and scattered trash everywhere matters a lot lol]
[Didn’t they say there’s a punishment for losing?]
[As expected, shut-ins are good at this kind of thing]
“Now then, shall we get to the final round soon? Lilith?”
“Honestly, even if we stop here, Lilith feels like she’s already been totally nyascrewed!”
Please, please, let a blueprint come up this time! If a decent blueprint appears, I can make this look pretty!
【Space Station Blueprint - Death Star】
【Please Take Care of the Space Creatures! ─ Super Chaos Exotic Edition】
【Lucky Random Box】
“Yessss! It’s the Death Star! Lilith, I’ll make the cool station first!”
“Why, why! When it was my turn, why didn’t something like that appear?! This is rigged!!!”
My space station transformed into the legendary silhouette every sci-fi movie fan would recognize.
It had become a round, spherical shape, and the black walls, fighter squadron, and Gatling gun I’d purchased all remained mounted perfectly intact.
Even the thrusters, brilliantly spilling out their flames, gave off an atmosphere that made the whole thing feel like it was radiating a black aura.
“I-in that case! There’s only one way for Lilith to win, nyang!!!”
“Li-Lilith? That looks like a textbook gambling item from every angle, doesn’t it?”
“Lilith’s station is already too late, nyang!!!”
─ Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
A slot machine suddenly appeared above Lilith’s station and began spinning its roulette wheel with a wildly obnoxious tune.
“Give Lilith something cool, nyang! Give Lilith something cool, nyang! If it gives me an apocalypse station, I think that would set a nice mood, nyang!”
“A concept where it’s being attacked by a space jellyfish might actually work pretty well!”
Honestly, if the vote got massively tilted in my favor, I’d feel too sorry for Lilith, wouldn’t I?
I wanted a close, nail-biting win, something like sixty-forty. That’s what really makes it exciting!
─ Ding-ding-ding!
【Space Club! ─ Pleasure for Your Planet!】
“Pffft...!”
“NyaaAAAAAAH!!!!”
Holograms of elves began dancing on poles on both sides of Lilith’s space station.
And they were even wearing skimpy swimsuits.
[(Lilith waving fluorescent glow sticks meme)]
[LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[Pole dancing here?]
[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
“K-kh... khhh...!”
“Don’t laugh, nyang! Lilith didn’t want a space station like this either!”
“At this point, you picked it on purpose, didn’t you? That’s practically a set meal.”
“I never ordered a set like this, nyang!!!”
Lilith let out a miserable scream and began the vote.
“From here on out, please choose whichever of Arnyang’s and Lilith’s space stations you think is cooler or prettier, nyang!”
“There’s also a punishment, so everyone please vote seriously!”
The voting, which began with a noisy ding-ding sound, ended up being far more intense than I’d expected.
“Ah, ah...? O-oh? N-nyaaang?!”
At first, the votes started tilting slightly toward Lilith.
Maybe because she’d burned through so many traps, and then the Space Club hologram had gone beyond overkill and somehow completed the whole “sexy concept” out of nowhere, a lot of people found it memorable.
But in the end, cereal-flavored trash can’t surpass the elite after all!
【Labellehar: 19,023】
【Lilith: 10,110】
“That’s it for the vote! I won by a hair—”
“How is that winning by a hair, nyang?! The vote difference is literally double, nyang!!”
“N-no, but at the start you were getting votes super fast, right? I thought it might be close!”
“Who are you making fun of, nyang!”
“Perfect timing on the donation! Lilith’s punishment is—drumroll, please—cosplaying as a character from the Galactic Express that I choose, then taking a proof shot!”
Lilith had apparently done this sort of “cosplay” punishment before, so she must have chosen it to make trouble for me.
“Uuuugh, I don’t wanna do this, nyaaaang!”
Of course, that meant she had dug her own grave.
* * *
“So! Let’s think about what cosplay we should make Lilith do?”
While Lilith was in the bathroom, I went into the character selection screen and clicked on “Meiling.”
“First, let’s put on the skin I drew earlier. They say this ao dai looks gorgeous...”
With one click, Meiling transformed into a lovely girl wearing a pure white ao dai.
“Wow... it really does feel both sexy and pretty, just like people said!”
The moment I heard the donation, I swapped the parts out for the Space Ao Dai Special Parts (see-through skirt) I’d gotten for 120,000 won.
“Huh? This is obviously way sexier, though? Isn’t it hotter when you can subtly see the panties and bra?”
[Daaaamn]
[How is that not sexy?]
[Hmm... not really]
[It shows too much of the boobs, so it’s not sexy]
No, really, there were so many people in this world who just didn’t understand what made something sexy.
“Ahem! This won’t do. Before Lilith comes back, I’ll explain why this skin feels sexy to me.”
Back when I was a man, saying something like this was a guaranteed way to get called a lunatic...
But now I’m a woman, so it should be fine, right? It’s a little embarrassing to use Kwon Seah’s body like this, though...!
