"All right! Then let’s keep going and take the remaining seven slots!"
Reading the board posts together with the viewers and laughing and joking around with them was dopamine itself.
The people posting them were pretty clever too.
Not a single one of them wrote like a rude idiot, assuming we’d just accept them no matter what because they’d already been promised a spot!
Anyway! I was planning to keep reading the applications with the viewers.
— click!

Please!!! Let me join your team!!!
I was an idiot for falling for that unfair setup!!!!
I even pulled every copy of Modretha to prepare for this clan war!!
Graaah! Take me back just once!

"Ahhh~~!! Posting the same manga did ding him a little... but that grand bow at the end is really something I can’t ignore!"
Maybe it was because everyone here actually spent money on games and had a real passion for joining the top clan?
Even this clown show was being done with style!
"Looks like I can’t help it. You scored 15,321 points in the last clan war too! You cleared the cutoff by a mile, and you showed plenty of sincerity, so from now on, you’re a middle school girl too!"
I clapped and hit the accept button.
"You’re the one with the name Brunhilde'sGodOfPoop, right?"
I knew that was a completely rotten nickname, but reading it out so calmly was part of the tempe-run, you know.
If I just got embarrassed and rushed past it, where was the fun in that?
"Okay, next!"

In-game nickname: Dasan-dong
Please take me in.
"Ah... this is a little..."
Clan members with over 16,000 points were definitely hard to find.
Honestly, even if their combat power was lower than mine, there was a good chance they’d reached that score because they knew how to rack up points.
But! What I wanted wasn’t just a boring clan member who could only score well!
"Sorry, but you’re just too lacking in sincerity compared to the others, so I’m going to pass on this one!"
This absolutely couldn’t stand.
The game had to be fun because it was a little humorous and warm, right?
"As you all know, I’m not planning to take people in just by staring at their scores and nothing else! If your score is a little short, what do you do? Clan war rank one! Colosseum rank one! The number one combat power player, Labellehar, just has to make up the difference a little!"
"All right then, shall we look at the next application?"
"Whoa... this is..."

A game I’d intended to enjoy as a relaxed hobby...
got swept up in events and accidents I’d never imagined...
and I left the clan because I didn’t want the stress...
But the clan master was the one who got dragged through the mud...
I’m truly sorry for betraying you and not staying with you until the very end...
If you give me one chance this time, I’ll devote myself to the clan with the spirit of Zhuge Liang, who kept marching north until the day he died...

Please have a look.
My age is like this, you know...
If you’ll take me just once, when the clan master comes by, I’ll even buy you meat...
"Ah~~ seriously! Boss! You can’t sell here! Delete that barbecue photo! Delete it!"
"Okay, okay, everyone! I’m not taking this old man in because of the meat!! I’m taking him in because he put in the effort!"
If I imagined at least a man in his forties typing away earnestly with two-finger hunting pecks, it didn’t seem so bad...!
"You’re the one with the name YouLikeHelgaAuntieTooMuch, right?"
"And just in case, let me say this to everyone else too! No bribery!"
(A suspicious photo certifying a clan war score of 14,980 points)
The noble me works hard at clan wars just like everyone else, desu!!!
The park where wasa-ti lived was absolutely terrible, desu...
There were too many lowly scum there, desu!!!
There were too many deer, and it was painful!
"Mm~!! Not a bad story! People who run away without joining clan wars are called deer, right? That’s pretty rough! If there are too many people like that, you lose the will to enjoy the game!"
It was something that would never happen in our clan, but apparently it happened often enough even in clans ranked in the top hundred.
Well, sure, real life might be busy and you might not be able to do clan wars—but if you just shrug it off and don’t even apologize in clan chat, people can’t help but think badly of you.
"Then the in-game ID is... Toshiaki? Am I right...?"
"Ah! Seriously! Hey! You think I wouldn’t check that too?! Unreal! Seriously!"
I immediately blocked Toshiaki.
"Everyone! Don’t come here planning to scam me! You’ll get found out no matter what!"

"A-ah, no, seriouslyyyy! Guys! Why are you leaving! Why are you leaving?! We filled it up yesterday!"
Heretic sobbed pitifully as she clutched the mic.
She had definitely spent yesterday coaxing people, soothing them, and even promising to buy them hamburgers to keep them from leaving.
They weren’t number one, sure, but from the moment they took second place in the last clan war, they had enough competitive value.
Of course, a huge number of people had fled the clan, but thanks to Kwon Seah’s mercy and the upload of that prostration photo, public opinion had recovered to some degree, and people soon started finding the HwaMuHwaMu clan again.
"N-no... what are you all talking about? I made up with Labellehar unni! And I, um, I promised not to go on the gallery anymore!"
"I mean... what on earth, what, what happened?"
Heretic’s head was spinning.
Where in the world were people fleeing to from a second-place clan?
"No... ah, ah! Seriously! Ah! Seriously!!"
Heretic’s eyes teared up as she grew indignant.
"Y-you little...! You’re doing this to target me, aren’t you? Right?"
Heretic kept sneaking glances at Discord, then sighed.
"Hah... fine, whatever... while I’m handing out hamburgers, I guess Labellehar unni is handing out pizza or something."
That was what Heretic thought.
She thought there had to be some kind of flashy perk like that, and that was why people were flocking to Kwon Seah.
"Uh... th-then what, you’re doing nothing? No, then why the hell are people going thereaaaah!!!"
Heretic had expected, of course, that this time too the content would be “throwing money around,” and she clicked her mouse in frustration.
"No, no, seriously! Labellehar unniii! Don’t take our clan members! This is, this is against the rules of decency... no, seriouslyyyy!"
It was obvious what the people fleeing HwaMuHwaMu were going to do.
They would submit resumes to Kwon Seah’s clan, and if they weren’t accepted, they’d go crawling back to HwaMuHwaMu.
And Heretic would have no choice but to take them back with a heart full of reluctant tears and mustard.
"Aaaagh! This is so annoying, seriously!!!"
Kwon Seah hadn’t even done anything, and somehow she’d ended up landing another blow on Heretic!
