I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 511

While Grylls was staying only at the Shelter after realizing the Unity of Self and Object,

the outside world was overflowing with various news day after day.

Whether it was that the relationship between Alfheim and Mountain, who usually had border disputes, had grown more hostile than before,

or worries that the civil war that broke out in the Central Plains would last longer than expected,

or that there seemed to be quite a few variables in the upcoming Sultan election in Setan, and so on.

As the world situation changed from moment to moment like this, there were signs of another major upheaval occurring.

It was none other than Mephisto, the country of the Demon Race. Mephisto was a bustling, noisy country.

Sports were the culture through which they healthily channeled their combative nature, which was similar to or even greater than that of the Beastfolk.

Since most of those sports had entered the transfer window or the off-season, their boredom was doubled.

So, what do they do during this period? It is surprisingly simple.

Title) Ah. I’m bored

(Photo of a female demon with a pretty face and a nice body)

I’m bored, so I should just browse the Gallery diligently.

└ Whoa

└ Whoa

└ Damn;;

└ Excuse me, but could you upload other photos as well?

└ OP) Why should I?

└ It’s customary.

└ Customary, my ass lolololol

└ So shameless it’s fucking hilarious lol

└ Don’t you guys want to see more?

└ I like it haha

Title) I’m bored, is there anything fun?

Should I go punch a random passerby?

└ What is this? It’s not even a murder threat;;

└ It’s the off-season. It’s the time when the Demon Race’s minds go crazy.

└ That’s actually wholesome compared to before. In the past, they threw all kinds of crazy fits.

└ When on earth was the past?

└ About 100 years ago?

└ That really was a long time ago;

└ Honestly, they say the Hero is the symbol of peace, but in my eyes, sports are the true symbol of peace lolol

Title) Still, there’s plenty to do these days

It’s fun watching the transfer market, so it’s not particularly boring or anything.

But why did our team sign that piece of shit? Should I go beat him to death?

└ Woah, woah;;

└ Seriously, this Gallery is so brutal lolol

└ (Cute photo of Wonmo) Don’t be like that, look at our cute Gallery Master and calm down

└ OP) Aw, so cute. I should just collect photos of the Gallery Master.

Title) Everyone, look at this.

(Photo of Wonmo giving a thumbs-up)

Everyone has seen Wonmo giving a thumbs-up!

It’s nothing much, but it’s cute.

└ When was Wonmo’s thumbs-up taken? I haven’t seen that photo before?

└ I edited it myself. For peace of mind.

└ Actually, every time I see photos of Wonmo, my mind feels at ease haha

└ Therefore, Grylls should upload more photos of Wonmo. Otherwise, I’ll take a dump.

└ Don’t Abandon the Hero) I will ban you!

└ I haven’t done it yet

└ Don’t Abandon the Hero) Even a threat of terror is an immediate execution!

└ The Orange Badge is doing a good job lol

└ Indeed, indeed. Even threats of terror must be cut down with a single stroke lolol

└ Then from now on, I should just post it without warning.

└ You crazy bastard;;

└ Just don’t post it at all;;;

They flocked to the Gallery in droves to relieve their boredom. Thanks to that, far more posts were generated than before.

Naturally, both the Orange Badge and the Blue Badges had no choice but to be busy, and they were bound to miss a few photos among them.

If we were to measure by the sheer depth of ’malice’, no race could surpass humans. But there was a reason the Demon Race was called the Demon Race.

With their superior physical specs, their threshold for what constituted ’assault’ was very loose, making them troublemakers who caused all kinds of incidents.

One might ask if the Elves and Beastfolk weren’t similar, but they were incomparable to the Demon Race.

Even during this time when countless trolls were running amok in the Gallery, there was someone who was busy with her real life.

"Let’s see..."

It was Kaylin, the demon princess, who had been in a good mood lately for various reasons.

She read the newspaper published today. However, the contents of that newspaper were a bit strange.

Just because they were high-ranking nobles didn’t mean they didn’t read newspapers. Rather, it was better to read them consistently.

Because, excluding the Gallery, the media was the easiest way to grasp public opinion at a glance.

But the newspaper Kaylin was reading was far from such purposes. And for good reason.

[Chaemes United Signing Status]This chapter was taken from novelping(.)com without permission.

It was because it was a newspaper closely linked to Chaeyu, of all things. Simply put, it was a sports newspaper.

One might not understand what this random situation was about. But from Kaylin’s perspective, it was a solid build-up.

’Just showing that I’m interested in this way will be enough.’

It didn’t matter if the rumors spread outside, and it didn’t matter if they didn’t.

Since they would have already spread widely in high society, that is, among the nobles.

First she went to watch a match in person last time, and now she’s reading a sports newspaper altogether?

As Kaylin was slated to be the next Demon King, every single one of these actions would carry a massive impact.

’And actually, I was curious too.’

Until now, collecting various rumors through the Gallery was the most she could do.

Occasionally, she would secretly purchase things like uniforms, but she couldn’t find any enjoyment in it because she didn’t know the context.

But not anymore. Now she could proudly purchase a newspaper and look over the progress with interest.

’In my heart, I want to see even the internal affairs of the club, but...’

She shouldn’t do that. She had to proceed slowly, permeating step by step.

Only then would people be convinced: ’The princess is completely into sports too!’

There was an issue more important than anything else. Kaylin checked another newspaper.

A newspaper that reported on international affairs, not a sports newspaper. She had purchased it together on her way back.

[What is the Purpose of Mephisto Princess Kaylin’s Visit?]

[The Holy Kingdom’s First Official Visit by a High-Ranking Member of the Demon Race.]

[What Kind of Situation Will Unfold with an Official Visit, Not an Invasion?]

The person currently influencing the entire world is, without a doubt, Grylls of the Forest of the Four Seasons.

Just looking at his actions made the world buzz with excitement.

And she could be confident that Kaylin’s visit this time would be comparable to that.

Since it was the first time in history that a member of the Demon Race was visiting the Holy Kingdom as an honored guest.

’What I need to talk about there is the laboratory Grylls found. And his actions as the Herald.’

To be clear, Kaylin was not going there to fight. She was visiting purely for diplomacy.

There were so many things she wanted to talk about, and it was an opportunity to clear up the grudges that had bound them for a long time.

Naturally, there were quite a few nobles who did not like this move of Kaylin’s.

Even if the Demon Race had caused trouble first, the Holy Kingdom was ultimately a relationship beyond that of mere bitter rivals.

’Interestingly, most of them are the anti-sports faction.’

They were the type who believed that only blood and slaughter could quench the thirst of the Demon Race.

They were highly dangerous individuals, but this would be resolved by Asmode, the Demon King and Kaylin’s father.

It meant that the time for a purge was not far off. This had been discussed with Asmode in advance.

’It was truly surprising. To think that Father disliked them.’

Kaylin recalled what kind of person Asmode was. A blunt yet cold-headed man.

He was also someone who, although clumsy, played the role of a father well. There was absolutely no reason to hate him.

It was just that it was hard to approach him because she didn’t know what he was thinking. Still, they had grown closer recently.

She hadn’t known until they talked, but he surprisingly seemed to have an interest in sports.

’Though he seems to dislike it in some strange areas.’

Previously, they had a dispute over where to go watch a match in person.

Fortunately, unable to break Kaylin’s stubbornness, it was decided to be Chaeyu, but she knew he had harbored some dissatisfaction.

The problem was that they were scheduled to go through a similar process this time as well. Precisely because of this visit.

’Just as I am visiting as an honored guest for the first time, the Hero of this generation will also visit our country as an honored guest for the first time.’

This moment is crucial. Kaylin plans to show the Hero what kind of place Mephisto is when she visits.

Naturally, sports were also included in that plan. Baseball, basketball, volleyball, and so on.

It was to directly show off Mephisto’s pride and the culture that was spreading across the world.

’And for football, it is naturally Chaeyu.’

She didn’t know much about other sports, but she couldn’t yield when it came to football. This was Kaylin’s scheme.

To do that, she would have to discuss it with Asmode. At this, Kaylin stood up from her seat.

Since she could now proudly purchase sports newspapers, there was no need to squeeze in time secretly.

"Attendant."

"Yes, Princess."

"I have something urgent to discuss with Father. Guide me at once."

Kaylin issued the command to her attendant. Contrary to her giggling inner thoughts, her tone was elegant and full of dignity.

Soon, the attendant guided her to Asmode. Asmode was working in his office, so finding him was not difficult.

Ttok-ttok-ttok—

"Father. It’s Kaylin."

[Come in.]

A heavy voice echoed from beyond the door. At this, Kaylin entered, feeling slightly nervous.

Upon entering, she saw Asmode staring intently at some documents.

’Those are the documents I gave him.’

She had just finished writing the plan itself. Asmode was reviewing it to grant his approval.

This way, she would be able to get straight to the point without needing long-winded explanations.

"Yes. What brings you here?"

"I would like to discuss matters regarding the Holy Kingdom."

"I see. I have read all the proposals you submitted. It seems it wouldn’t be bad to proceed as planned."

Yes! Kaylin cheered inwardly.

Following that, Asmode put down the proposal and gestured to Kaylin.

It was a signal to come and sit closer instead of over there. Grateful for the consideration, Kaylin also smiled and obediently complied.

"My daughter. This matter will leave a great footprint not only on Mephisto but on the entire world."

"Yes. I know. There won’t be any mistakes."Read the latest chapters at NovelPing.

"I believe you will do well. Even without my help, everyone has recognized you as the next Demon King."

Asmode commended Kaylin in a blunt yet warm voice.

Kaylin beamed at his praise. It definitely felt like their relationship had grown closer recently.

"The humans of the Holy Kingdom will probably all welcome you. As I said before, it is our side we need to worry about."

"Do you mean the nobles who cry out that only blood and slaughter are the foundation of the Demon Race?"

"Yes. We cannot say there is no possibility of them instigating a terror attack."

In any case, extreme things usually lead to bad results.

In this regard, the short lifespan of humans acted as an advantage.

For the Demon Race or the Elves, generational change is difficult due to their long lifespans. Because of this, extreme elements tend to persist for a long time.

On the other hand, humans have rapid generational changes due to their short lifespans. Even if an extreme figure emerges, they are bound to die and disappear within a hundred years.

"As I said, I will handle this. It is about time for a change of blood."

"You are indeed a member of the Demon Race after all, Father."

"Not a demon, but a king. Among humans, there are many who are far worse than me."

A conversation between a close king and princess, and father and daughter.

"By the way, what happened to that doll you found on the Ghost Ship?"

"The mages are working hard to activate it, but it is still a difficult situation."

"That is strange. Didn’t it activate when you infused it with mana?"

"It only worked that one time, and it has not worked since."

"The Elves are still operating Ghost Ships. It is a pity there is no news from that side."

"We have dispatched spies, so we should be able to obtain information soon."

Up to this point, there was no conflict of opinion between the two. Kaylin smiled.

If it ended like this, her grand plan would begin. But as they say, one never knows what the future holds.

"All of your plans are satisfactory, but one part is regrettable."

"Which part is that?"

"Watching sports with the Hero. I like this. Choosing famous teams from each sport is also fine. But..."

But. That single word made Kaylin tense.

Inwardly, she hoped that he wouldn’t object to football, which is to say, Chaeyu.

But as they say, bad premonitions always come true. Asmode brought up the subject.

"Why did you choose Chaemes United for football?"

"Because Chaemes United is the most famous team in Mephisto, of course."

"There are many world-famous teams. I would prefer if you chose a team with a deep history, if possible."

A team with a deep history. There were many teams that fit this description.

But among them, Leor, whom she couldn’t stand the sight of, was overwhelming.

It was practically at the level of telling her to choose Leor instead of Chaeyu.

Just like before, Asmode seemed to strangely prefer Leor.

"...Father, do you prefer Leor?"

"Hmm? I didn’t point out Leor specifically."

"..."

Asmode showed a puzzled reaction. Hearing this, Kaylin realized her slip-up.

In the Central Plains, they say a guilty conscience needs no accuser. She didn’t know if that was the right expression for this moment, but it was a similar situation.

But Kaylin immediately calmed down. She had experienced plenty of frustrating situations through Chaeyu matches.

"Well, since it is a plan you drew up, I won’t interfere any further. However, it would be best to speak carefully."

"What do you mean by that..."

"I am talking about when the Hero visits. If you explain things poorly, the fans might feel hurt."

Don’t even let words like ’deep history’ escape your mouth. Unless you want to get cursed out by the fans.

Kaylin could immediately catch on to what Asmode was saying.

"Yes. I will keep that in mind."

Although Kaylin outwardly said she would keep it in mind,

’I should make a mistake on purpose.’

she was harboring insidious thoughts inside.

A day after that.

"W-What is the meaning of this?"

Kaylin couldn’t help but be startled upon hearing the report delivered to her.

"W-Why are we playing Leor for the season opener? And an away match at that? This is practically introducing Leor...!"

Her greatest, most critical mistake: the season opening day.

’...Should I put pressure on them to change it?’

She decided against it because she thought she would get cursed out.

While the visit schedule was being drawn up in Mephisto,

in Setan, the country of the Dark Elves, they were busy with the upcoming Sultan election.

Numerous families had entered politics to become the Sultan, and Salman was no exception.

Originally, Salman’s family was insignificant, but they had recently begun to stand out.

"So, what is the reason you invited us?"

"Of course there’s a reason, which is why he called us, right?"

And Salman gathered the influential figures of each political faction together. He had officially invited them.

Normally, they wouldn’t have paid any attention to Salman’s family. But now was different.

"There is something I want to show you all."

Salman wore a confident smile.
