Just in case, I have no intention of waging war against the gorilla pack.
For both us and them, it would be like poking a hornet’s nest, and furthermore, we both know we are awkward obstacles to each other.
For us, the gorilla leader Wiheuk is the biggest nuisance, and for them, it would be Bbareumbo.
Just look at Bbareumbo. Even though his sworn enemy lives in the next neighborhood, he chose to live quietly.
Whether it was the will of his deceased family or because he knew the horrors of war too well, it was hard to tell, but he was definitely avoiding them.
You might ask if it’s because of some justification, but there is nothing more foolish than looking for justification in the wild.
Strength. Only strength is the truth and the core of the wild. A place where it is only natural to be eaten if you lack strength.
’Even predators might mess with animals that have shitty personalities, but they rarely mess with skunks or porcupines.’
Because they have a reliable means of defense, even beasts of prey tend to avoid them.
If not that, then they have an ’overwhelming weight class’ despite being herbivores. The perfect example is the elephant.
Many people call the lion the king of beasts, but the elephant is the emperor above them.
I still can’t forget the video where a pride of lions scattered in a hurry the moment a herd of elephants approached the pond to drink water.
’It would be nice to get close, but....’
Because of Bbareumbo and Lackey, that’s impossible. If I play it too safe with self-preservation, I might lose two of my companions.
Besides, I also harbor a grudge, so they are opponents I must clash with someday.
Ah. Of course, I’m not saying we should fight right this second.
Right now, I’m too busy dealing with the waste piled up in the toilet. There’s plenty of other work to do besides that.
In particular, there is one task I consider the most important.
"What should I eat for breakfast tomorrow?"
"Rice and meat."
"Aren’t you sick of it?"
"You can never eat too much meat."
"That’s true."
Thinking about what to eat for breakfast tomorrow. This is far more important.
You could call it peace of mind, but you have to enjoy these things while you can.
If I worry about the gorilla pack every single day, stress will just pile up.
As long as they aren’t provoking us constantly, it’s something I can overlook.
’That is, if those guys even understand the concept of provocation.’
Provocation? No, this is the wild, so they’d probably just invade straight away. I just hope they don’t launch a night raid.
I tried to push aside the mounting worries and looked to the future.
It will take quite some time for the hobgoblins to negotiate.
Until then, I just need to keep exploring steadily and keep track of the results.
Title) Going to sleep now, bb
Wild Grylls
(Photo of Wonmo staring with wide, round eyes)
(Photo of Maengkkongi sitting on top of Wonmo’s head)
It’s getting late, so I should sleep. See you tomorrow.
The photos are of the Gallery Master and the Gallery Master’s pet.
ㄴHeavenly Demon) You worked hard today as well. I hope you have a peaceful night.
ㄴSword Matstar) Wow. It’s cuteness on top of cuteness.
ㄴWhy does having two Deputy Admins feel so awkward? lolol
ㄴIt really is fascinating. How did those two of all people end up as Deputy Admins? lolol
ㄴBut can a Deputy Admin ban another Deputy Admin?
ㄴㄴㄴ Even if they ban, they’re still a Deputy Admin so it’s pointless. They’ll just unban themselves.
ㄴSo that means even if Sword Matstar teases Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Demon can’t do anything about it?
ㄴSword Matstar) Oh? Is that so? Hahahahahahaha
ㄴlolololol
ㄴlololololol
ㄴLook at that fucking laugh lolol
ㄴLook how damn insidious she is lolol
ㄴOrange Badge-ya. What are you going to do about that?
ㄴDon’t Abandon the Hero) I hope you reach an amicable agreement!
ㄴThis bastard was the most malicious of them all lololol
ㄴAren’t they going to end up having a Real-Life PK at this rate? lol
ㄴPrincess Chaenggu) Grylls-nim. There’s something I want to give you before you sleep. Please check your messages.
When I posted the lethally cute photos, countless reactions poured in.
Among them was Princess Chaenggu’s comment. As soon as I saw her comment, I opened my messages.
[Wild Grylls: What’s going on?]
[Princess Chaenggu: I wanted to give you a uniform for Maengkkongi!]
[Wild Grylls: ?;;]
[Princess Chaenggu: He’s a new family member, so of course we have to get him matching clothes!]
Matching clothes, huh? It sounded somewhat reasonable, yet it felt strange.
Above all, the companions at the Shelter didn’t wear uniforms. The reason was simple.
They were uncomfortable due to the texture, and the uniforms themselves were made of a tight-fitting material.
Ludwig and I could tolerate this discomfort, but the other companions couldn’t.
It was only natural, as they were wild animals who didn’t even understand the concept of ’clothes’ in the first place.Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
’Would Maengkkongi be different?’
For now, there was nothing bad about receiving the uniform. It was practically a donation.
There would be no problem even if I exchanged it for orichalcum later. Orichalcum was piled up like a mountain anyway.
[Princess Chaenggu: And I’ll send one more thing. It’s a Recording Orb with a song on it.]
[Wild Grylls: There are Recording Orbs too?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Since we even have broadcasting magic, it’s only natural to have an orb with recording magic!]
[Wild Grylls: It’s fascinating every time I see it. Mephisto is highly developed in that area, right?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Of course! No one can touch our country when it comes to culture!]
They were the Demon Race, said to have done nothing but engage in bloody battles in the past. Yet now, they were more peaceful than anyone.
They would throw a fit at a single comment like ’Your country’s football team sucks,’ but that was negligible.
’Besides, the princess recently watched a match in person.’
Princess Chaenggu had made a request before. To show her proof that ancient humanity also enjoyed sports.
Because of that, the demon princess Kaylin, who had been hostile toward sports, had bent her own will.
Since she had watched a Chaeyu match in person after that, quite a big change was occurring in Mephisto as well.
[Wild Grylls: How is Mephisto lately? Has anything changed since Kaylin gave up her stubbornness?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Nothing has changed immediately. Policies don’t change overnight, right? But I still like it.]
[Wild Grylls: In what way?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Because I can watch my favorite team in person haha]
[Wild Grylls: I hear Chaeyu hasn’t lost a single match recently, so you must be in a great mood.]
[Princess Chaenggu: This is all thanks to you, Grylls-nim haha. By any chance, could you tell me the next score too?]
[Wild Grylls: Huh? Hasn’t the season ended now? I thought the last match was the final one.]
[Princess Chaenggu: Kya! I had a feeling, but you really knew all the matches!]
It was a trap. I chuckled.
Princess Chaenggu had donated ’clothing,’ one of the most important necessities of life in the wild.
Though the Cheonjam Merchant Guild was handling it now, things had been very difficult in the beginning.
’I’ll give you clothes if you cheer for my favorite team... Hearing it like that, it sounds pretty funny.’
Still, it was a win-win for both of us, so I had nothing but good feelings.
[Princess Chaenggu: Then, if you could perhaps say some good words about Chaeyu...!]
[Wild Grylls: Uh-uh. That would be unfair. If you’re not careful, Chaeyu might get subtle advantages under the pretext of being the team chosen by the Herald. That’s unfair.]
[Princess Chaenggu: Other teams are recruiting players by receiving Gold Money... I want Chaeyu to get similar benefits too....]
[Wild Grylls: You aren’t trying to drag sports into politics or religion, are you?]
[Princess Chaenggu: To me, Chaeyu is a religion, though? Honestly, Aris and Aragon are of no use to the Demon Race.]
[Wild Grylls: ;;;]
As soon as I heard those words, I immediately contacted the Orange Badge. A sense of anxiety washed over me.
[Wild Grylls: Orange Badge-nim. I’m telling you in advance, please don’t ban Princess Chaenggu.]
[Don’t Abandon the Hero: Why?]
[Wild Grylls: Seeing how you didn’t even use an exclamation mark, you must be seriously pissed. Please let it slide just this once.]
Do you know what was even more surprising? She didn’t even ask what happened.
She was already eavesdropping on the conversation between Princess Chaenggu and me.
To defend her, it wasn’t stalking. While I could enjoy pleasures without any responsibility, those on the outside couldn’t.
Since she hadn’t even been banned, Asella had no choice but to keep a close eye.
’Even so, banning someone over personal feelings is a no-go.’
From the perspective of Asella, a devout believer of Aris, even a permanent ban wouldn’t feel like enough.
However, there were already countless people committing blasphemy in the Gallery.
Moreover, she was someone who had shown me kindness during my early days of survival, so I had to prevent her from being banned at all costs.
[Wild Grylls: Does the Demon Race have no faith?]
[Princess Chaenggu: It’s not that we have absolutely none, but it’s lacking compared to other places.]
[Wild Grylls: Even though Aris is the Goddess of War?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Even so, she’s weaker than the Chief God, isn’t she?]
Come to think of it, I had heard of this before.
When Aris and Aragon fought each other, the Chief God was the only one who could stop them.
Unless he was incredibly powerful in terms of both status and martial might, she wouldn’t have been able to say it so decisively.
[Princess Chaenggu: Besides, things got even worse because of the Evolution Laboratory you discovered recently, Grylls-nim. They used our ancestors as test subjects, after all.]
[Wild Grylls: Ah. That makes sense then. But didn’t Aris stop it?]
[Princess Chaenggu: Just because she did doesn’t erase the mistakes of the gods.]
It’s strange. Just because they are gods doesn’t mean every race in this world likes them.
Well, even on Earth, countless religions are intertwined, and there are many cases where they dislike each other.
’Respect isn’t as easy as it sounds.’
Especially when it comes to religion, if it becomes blind, it very frequently degenerates into ’fanaticism’.
And if it merges with a cult? It reaches a level beyond salvation.
[Wild Grylls: Still, don’t hate them too much. You have to hate in moderation to live a normal life.]
[Princess Chaenggu: Huh? Don’t people usually say not to hate at all?]
[Wild Grylls: How can a human live without hating? Right now, I’m in a position where I hate God because I don’t want to hate humans.]
[Princess Chaenggu: Hating God while being the Herald of God. That’s a bit of a strange thing to say.]
[Wild Grylls: If he’s a true God, he’d probably find this cute and let it slide. Otherwise, he’d just be a narrow-minded petty bastard.]Get faster updates on NovelPing.
[Princess Chaenggu: You’re a fun person. If you ever come out later, please contact me. I’ll send you a VIP seat ticket.]
[Wild Grylls: I might never be able to use it....]
[Princess Chaenggu: I’m still young, so I can wait up to 200 years haha]
[Wild Grylls: I’ll die of old age before then;;]
[Princess Chaenggu: Looking at your updates, Grylls-nim, it seems like you could easily live for 1,000 years? haha]
Come to think of it, the Demon Race is famous for being a long-lived race like the Elves.
However, while their life expectancy is long, their average lifespan isn’t actually that long.
Due to the characteristically bellicose nature of the Demon Race, they often fail to live out their natural lifespans.
’At least their hostility has decreased now because of sports, so maybe it’s fine.’
Anyway, the only race that lives up to its life expectancy is the Elves. That’s why they are overflowing with old farts.
But right now, things are different; the recently crowned Elf Queen is a formidable nutcase.
There are rumors that she made some kind of contract with a Ghost Ship, and border disputes have been occurring recently.
Just as my days ahead will be busy, the outside world will be no walk in the park either.
[Wild Grylls: So whose uniform is Maengkkongi’s clothes?]
[Princess Chaenggu: It’s Paulo, who was famous for his nickname ’Maestro’ in the past haha]
[Wild Grylls: It’ll probably look good on Maengkkongi.]
Regardless of whether it suited him, I checked the uniform first.
The uniforms worn by the kids and Bbareumbo had been gathered in a corner.
I wondered if Maengkkongi would like this clothing.
"Ppi-yung."
"It looks good on you."
Regardless of whether he liked it, it suited him strangely well.
Perhaps because she had given a fairly generous size, it was slightly loose even on Maengkkongi, who had a chubby body.
Maengkkongi didn’t seem particularly uncomfortable either, as he didn’t voice any complaints.
’Next is the recording orb...’
I tapped the Recording Orb. This was also incredibly expensive, but she managed to give it to me.
Soon, the Recording Orb glowed brightly, and a song began to flow from within.
[Ah~ ooli aooli Chaeyu Uni~ted!]
"...."
Even though it was sung in the language of Mephisto and I couldn’t understand a single word, it didn’t matter.
Both the pitch and the melody felt like something I had heard at least once before.
After all the songs finished, I glanced at Maengkkongi.
"Maengkkong-ah."
"Ppi-yung?"
"It’s time to gather upvotes."
Maengkkongi tilted his head.
Title) Video of Maengkkongi singing the cheering song
Wild Grylls
(Video of Maengkkongi singing the cheering song while wearing the uniform)
Dropping a cute video of Maengkkongi and going to sleep, bb
ㄴHeavenly Demon) It is an exciting song.
ㄴSword Matstar) It feels like a song I’ve heard somewhere before?
ㄴThat’s a famous song. Didn’t they say it was derived from a military march?
ㄴSurprisingly, it’s a song that also exists in hymns.
ㄴIt’s in hymns too?
ㄴIt’s one of the military marches brought by the gods. It was just rearranged as a hymn.
ㄴKing Reor) Ha, damn. Making him sing that filthy song.
"Fufufu."
Kaylin wore a highly satisfied smile at the post uploaded to the Gallery.
Although it looked like an ordinary post, it was actually closer to a highly advanced strategy.
Currently, every single post Grylls uploaded carried immense influence.
Though he himself regarded them as shitposts, the reality was completely different.
’With this, Chaeyu’s prestige will rise day by day.’
A singing toad wearing a Chaeyu uniform and singing their cheering song?
If this wasn’t viral marketing, what was? She was truly satisfied.
’I should enjoy this kind of leisure.’
Most of the sports seasons had ended, and the off-season and transfer market had opened.
However, precisely because it was the off-season, Kaylin had no choice but to become even busier.
A civil war had broken out in the Central Plains, and the movements of Alfheim and Mountain were also unusual.
Mephisto was standing a step back, but there was no telling when or what would explode next.
’Peace must last long for sports to be steadily maintained.’
To achieve that, diplomacy was an indispensable action.
Coincidentally, she also had business in the Holy Kingdom, so she was planning to visit there.
’It’s fine. I got to watch the match in person, which I yearned for so much, didn’t I? I must do my duty.’
Kaylin comforted herself.
For their own respective reasons, the easy days were disappearing.
