『Clan Members 34/34』
Contrary to the hopes of those idiots who mocked me, saying I’d never be able to fill 17 spots, the clan filled up in the blink of an eye.
In fact, at first, application posts were coming in one every 10 minutes, but by the end, some idiot even started spamming the board, throwing “1,000-won punches” to get people to look at their application first.
It really lived up to its reputation as the No. 1 clan that everyone wants to join.
“Alright~!!! Now that all the clan members are here! I’m going to show off the gift I’ve prepared for you all!!!”
- Huh???
- Didn’t they say they wouldn’t be giving away hamburgers???
- What?
- Wait, the number one clan is actually giving away hamburgers???
“Come on~! Everyone!! I’m not just giving away something like hamburgers—”
─ Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!!!
It was “Heretic” who suddenly called me on Discord.
- Who is it?
- Is it Lilith or Malangi?
- Hahahahaha
- Seriously, who’s calling at 1 a.m.!!!
What am I supposed to do about this?
I was just planning to hand out some small gifts as a cute little incentive for the new members who joined the clan in good faith, but...
“Hmm, hmm, hmm...! Everyone! What should we do? It’s Heretic who just called, you know?”
It wasn’t entirely clear, but I had a slight hunch.
If Heretic really pulls off a proper WWE-style move, this could make for some pretty good YouTube footage...!
- Let’s go, go, go, go
- Should I answer it???
- Seriously, this guy is always trying to join our stream without permission
- Isn’t she just going to start attacking like a total nutjob again?
- Look, she’s even friends with Heretic.
Since everyone’s reactions were positive, I answered the call right away.
“Yes, I’m answering the—”
“Labelle-Ar, sis!!!”
- Hahahahahahahahahaha
- Seriously, why are you crying right from the start?
- Ugh, you crazy girl lololol
“Hold on a sec! Heretic! Why are you crying the moment I picked up? We agreed to get along, right?”
“No, no, that’s not it. Sis!!! I was just thinking, how about we teach those unethical people a lesson!”
“Oh~ Are you talking about those people who suddenly defected and submitted applications just because they wanted to join the #1 clan?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Yes! Yes! Sis! Don’t you think those people are being a bit sneaky?!”
She’s saying exactly what I was thinking.
Yeah, yeah, to be honest, I noticed that too.
- Eom
- What? Hahaha
- Weren’t there two of them earlier? Their application posts were super funny, though, hahaha
- Are you talking about Corn Flour-san? Hahahahahaha
- But it is kind of annoying, yeah
“Hmm~! I think I know exactly why Heretic would go so far as to call a Discord call at this late hour just to beg.”
“Ah, you think you know, right? Right? Sis? Right? Honestly, that’s so rude!! As soon as you heard you were recruiting, they packed their bags and came begging to be let in!!”
“No matter how you look at it, they definitely don’t seem like loyal people.”
“Oo-Oo has donated 1,000 won.”
[Ah lol, the clan war is tomorrow lol. If I get kicked out today, I can’t play in the clan war lol]
“Tongsu-eun-Timing has donated 1,000 won.”
[Save this? Save this? Save this? Save this?]
“Definitely, people like this—if they can get into a clan that’s even just a tiny bit higher in the rankings, they’ll absolutely go crazy, wiggling their butts to get in, right?”
- ㅇㅇ
- Sometimes these kids are even more annoying than the deer.
- AAAAAHHHH!!! Don’t take my clan members away from me!
- Our clan leader was bawling her eyes out, too.
“Sis… honestly, I think we should give these bad people a little… what’s the word?”
“Hmm... But Heretic, I actually see it a little differently, you know?”
“Eh, huh...?”
“You’re just trying to get me to kick them out today because they screwed you over, and you’re upset, so you want to teach them a lesson, right?”
Heretic, her thoughts read, was momentarily speechless.
“W-w-what! How can you say that, sis!! I’m not that kind of petty person!”
“You really aren’t? These are people I just accepted yesterday. They didn’t even send me a DM all day, and they called me right when I couldn’t participate in tomorrow’s clan battle?”
“Uh, uh, uh…”
Even though the Galaxy Express has the worst clan system of this era, at least while a “clan battle” is in progress, you can’t join or kick anyone from the clan.
In other words, if I kick these two today, they’ll be left high and dry.
I might be able to give these people—who haven’t shown any loyalty and have been flitting from clan to clan like bats—a little taste of their own medicine, but who stands to gain the most from this? Heretic, right?
“I’m the kind of person who hates being taken advantage of.”
- Whoa
- What’s with that voice?
- ???? Where’d that cheerful voice go?
- Whoa, OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
- Whatwhatwhatwhatwhat? Use this voice to call me out, quick!
I spoke with just a hint of emotion, and the chat window went crazy.
"Ah... Ah, no! I-I mean, sis... . To be honest, I was just being a total jerk about it."
“Oh my, really, Heretic? Did it upset you that you betrayed your own clan and joined ours?”
“Waaah... Yeah, honestly, that person is so sneaky. I even gave them a hamburger, you know.”
- Hahaha
- Sigh, lol. You should’ve just whined honestly from the start.
- How come this person has never been honest even once?
- Heretic’s a clan leader too! Clan leader!
- It’s kind of sad, lol.
“Hmm, but you know what.”
“Yeah, yeah, sis?”
“So these people are ultimately just hoping to move up to the clan with the highest score, right?”
“Oo-Oo has donated 1,000 won.”
[Who?]
“La, La Belle Ar, sis?”
“I’m the number one clan, and I have the highest score—where else would these people go? It looks like they’ll settle here forever.”
“Ah, nooo! Sister! These people have no sense of fair play!”
“Hmm… They haven’t shown me that kind of rude, unethical behavior yet, and I don’t think they ever will.”
There was even a reason why Heretic was whining.
These two, who had fled from Hwamuhamu, had clan war scores of over 16,000 points.
From a scoring standpoint, they were the cream of the crop—talents who couldn’t help but be a huge asset to our clan.
They’d even written their application posts in such an entertaining way that they’d earned nicknames like “Corn Flour-san” and “Heavenly Feather-kid.”
“I don’t think I have any reason to kick these people out!”
“Ah! Sis! Sis! Those people are going to betray you someday, I’m telling you?!”
“If the reason for betraying me is points, they can’t possibly betray me, okay?”
And even if they do betray me, it doesn’t matter.
Unless they’re determined to deliberately ruin their own clan war, no Babubabu would run away a day early.
And even if they ran off after claiming the first-place reward, it wouldn’t matter—there’s already a line of people waiting to join our clan anyway!
“Ah…! Seriously! Sis—”
─ Ring-ring!
I cut off Heretic’s call at just the right moment.
- Haha hahahahahahaha
- Yeah, yeah lol. If he hung up just for the points, he’s not leaving our clan.
- Hahahahaha
- Heretic cut~~~!!!
- Anyway, if someone in our clan scores 16,000 points, wouldn’t that person be Daesik or Chunsik?
“CornFlour-san has donated 10,000 won.”
[Thank you... Clan Leader... I’ll lay my bones in the ‘High School Girl’ role, I swear...]
“Ah~~! Thank you! Look! As for the people who came here just for the points~? There’s absolutely no way they’ll ever leave our clan, right?”
I’m going to take first place anyway!
If I leave here, I won’t be able to take first place!
- Haha, lolololol
- Looks like Heretic will end up in second place without even a fight
- Hahahaha
- Are you going to take first place again this time~~~~
“Alright! Now that we’ve dealt with the troublemakers, let’s wrap this up! Shall I reveal the prizes I’ve prepared for my lovely clan members?”
I made a “du-du-du” sound with my mouth as I Alt-Tabbed to show the image file I’d prepared.
- ???
- Seriously, girl?
- Wow, lol. This crazy chick is spending money again.
- Hahahahahahaha
“Everyone!! Let’s be honest—hamburgers are cliché and boring, right? But… while other clans are joking around about giving out hamburgers, it’d be no fun if our #1 clan just dryly gave out nothing, wouldn’t it?”
I’ve got plenty of money anyway.
But just handing out burgers like everyone else would be “no fun.”
“So!! I’ve prepared some gifts!”
【Haha! High school girl Jang has prepared some gifts!】
『3rd–6th Place: 50,000 won Hot Pizza gift card』
“First off, I’m planning to treat 3rd through 6th place to pizza. But… there are so many kinds of pizza these days, right? Some people even like pineapple pizza?”
- Wait, how much is this???
- Damn, the pizza alone costs 200,000 won???
- Wow lol, but that’s still cheaper than two trucks;;;
- 5252, are you crazy, Labelle Ar? lol
“So! For those who place 3rd through 6th, we'll give you gift cards so you can buy as much pizza as you waaaant!”
After all, wouldn’t it feel great to eat as much pizza as you want, exactly the way you like it?
If I were to pick out specific pizzas for everyone, some people would just start whining, “Waaah, I like pineapple pizza!”
“Alright! And for 2nd place~”
『2nd Place: Hansung Hotel Buffet Family Meal Voucher』
“I happened to get my hands on this meal voucher by a stroke of luck, so I’ll give it to you! I live alone anyway, so going there would just be a waste of money for me, right?”
- ???
- Isn’t the Hansung Hotel super expensive?
- They have a buffet there? I had no idea!
- How awesome is this?
“BigNumulBoman donated 1,000 won”
[Info: The Hansung Hotel buffet costs 90,000 won for breakfast, 180,000 won for brunch, and 220,000 won for dinner]
“Oo donated 1,000 won”
[Hey... what on earth are you even doing??]
“Come on, come on! Don’t be so surprised, everyone! I just happened to get these meal vouchers, so I’m giving them away! It just happened~! It’d be great if everyone playing the game together could have fun, right? Right?”
- Seriously, what kind of job do you have to have to get something like that as a gift?
- They were rich, rich, rich.
- Come to think of it, isn’t the room host a monster who spends 10 million won a month on games?
- Look at that—you can’t even play games while eating a hamburger;;;
The chat window went wild, but I didn’t care.
◆Solo Breakthrough◆
“Haha hahahahahahahaha”
◆Serechichi Malangchiji◆
“??????????????”
◆Meiling’s Abortion Punch◆
“If you splash it around like this, what’s left????”
◆Pioneer◆
“Wow”
“This is crazy”
◆Brünhilde’s Zalgagas◆
“What, what, what, what, what, what, what?”
“But she lives in the provinces, right?”
◆Free Princess Lili◆
“I’ve never seen a family meal voucher before.”
◆Give Us Half a Nongnong Dan◆
“?? If you eat that for dinner, it’s basically worth 100 manun, right?”
Just the fact that the 34 clan members who trusted me and followed me were excitedly chatting away made me feel incredibly proud!
“Hehehe! Well then, everyone, do your best in this clan war too!”
I guess the saying that “money can’t buy happiness” might be a bit of a lie after all!
Needless to say, our “Hawa-wa High School Girls” clan took first place in the second clan war, which started the very next day.
The point difference between us and Heretic was a whopping 2,000 points!
It was a well-deserved victory, thanks to the clan members who pushed themselves to the limit trying to secure second place!
* * *
◆La Belle Ar◆
“Hawa-wa! Oppas! Unnis!”
“Everyone, great job on the clan war!”
“High School Girl Jean checked the scores and sent out the gift cards, so everyone should check their in-game mail!”
“By the way, second place went to ‘Shuri’!”
◆Shuri◆
“Thank you so much!!!”
◆Serechichi Malangchiji◆
“Wow, lol. Shuri-nim actually managed to take 2nd place.”
◆Pioneer◆
“Hah...”
“Modreda only played for two days, but she still lost;”
◆Renako’s Palace Exploration Squad◆
“Looks like Shuri really is a skilled player, lol.”
“Doesn’t she even write strategy guides on the forum?!”
◆Modreda’s Little One◆
“2nd place, hehehe.”
◆Rina’s Squeaky Squeaky◆
“Whoa, lol, pizza for dinner tonight!!”
The clan battle ended on a cheerful note, and the chat window was full of warm banter.
Actually, since our clan took first place last time, it’s only natural that the point gap widened—after all, our clan is packed with people who have “Iines”?
Anyway, we took first place, so yay!
◆Shuri◆
“By the way, Clan Leader,”
“Since I live alone, it feels a bit awkward to use this gift certificate just for a meal by myself.”
“So, would it be okay if I used it with some clan members who are free?”
“Oh… that’s a nice gesture.”
If that was the case, honestly, there was a way to just pocket the gift certificate without saying a word.
◆La Belle Ar◆
“Hahaha! It doesn’t matter if you’re a high school girl!”
“It’s great when oppas and unnis get along well!”
“Up to five people can use it, so make good use of it!”
◆Shuri◆
“Then how about the Clan Leader coming too?”
◆La Belle Ar◆
“Hahaha! This high school girl is busy doing her summer homework~!”
If it’s just a passing glance, that’s one thing...
But if I sit in a chair and eat, there’s just too high a chance they’ll recognize me.
That’s a bit much. I just like to laugh and have fun, you know?
◆Mei Ling Abortion Punch◆
“Clan Leader!! Let’s do a livestream! Drop the ‘high school girl’ act already!!!”
◆The Efficacy of Renako◆
“TOTAL AGREE”
◆I Want to Eat Irelta◆
“Then I’ll go!”
◆Free Princess Lili◆
“Guys~~ I’ll get in line~~~”
◆Send Me to the Nongnong Club◆
“Waaah, I want to go to Nongnong too~~”
◆La Belle Ar◆
“Hahaha! Since Shuri brought it up, you’ll have to figure out how to wrap things up on your own!”
Even though I typed that in the chat, I couldn’t take my eyes off the clan chat.
◆Shuri◆
“So, shall we meet at the Hanseong Hotel by 6:00 PM this Saturday?”
“Luckily, it looks like there are exactly five of us—including me—who are available.”
◆I Want to Eat Irel◆
“Yeah~”
◆Lina’s Sucking Sucking◆
“So sweet lol”
◆Pioneer◆
“Let’s go with that.”
◆Renako’s Palace Exploration Squad◆
“6 PM, OK.”
“So we’re meeting at 6 PM on Saturday... 6 PM on Saturday...”
This might be a bit of a sinister thought, but...
I’m the one who gave them these meal vouchers, right?
Honestly, as long as my true identity as Kwon Se-ah isn’t exposed, I’d actually like to know what kind of people our clan members are, too.
“…Anyway, if I talk to Chief of Staff Lee Eun-byul, I should be able to get a seat, right?”
It was Chief of Staff Lee Eun-byul who gave me this meal voucher in the first place.
“Aaaah~~~ What should I do!!! I want to see her face! I’m curious about what kind of conversation we’d have...! But I don’t want my true identity to be exposed!”
I agonized over it for more than a day, but the choice had been clear from the start.
