Chapter 34 - Elf Vtuber Protested Gods Due to the Censorship of NSFW Furry Games, Which She Had Wishlisted on Steam. At the designated time, 11 PM, the quest was completed. [You have gained a new trait ’Delicious Thighs’.] [You have gained a new trait ’Second Wind’.] [You have completed the quest.] [You have gained access to the modern world’s pc games and console games. You can purchase the game consoles and game keys from the system store.] Parita shrugged at the system message. She watched the dead man getting up on his feet while she enjoyed the BBQ. "Here comes the walking dead." H5N9’s body bloated like a balloon. His growing stomach burst, and his innards fell out. His black blood soiled the dirt ground. After the pop, he staggered forward like a zombie and collapsed to the ground. His body twitched, and his entire skeletal structure deformed. Meanwhile, the chest wound of Sars was reopened. His body shook as if he were experiencing a seizure after death or had been taken over by a demon from a horror film. Black worms crawled out of his infected scar, mouth, eyeballs, and ears. Black blood gushed out of his bottom orifices and fingernails. Acidic fumes exuded from the black blood. The temperature in the dungeon rose. Parita started sweating, but the heat evaporated all the liquid on her skin. She fetched a bottle of cold water from her inventory and chugged it to quench her thirst. "Is this why people are calling it the Bloodscorched? Why not Acid Blood or Black Blood?" She chuckled and observed their transformation. From her perspective, they could never evolve into a T-Virus creature or something similar since every cell in this world required sustenance to grow. No real cell could expand its mass infinitely within a few minutes, like the zombies or monsters in that series. Nothing could go wrong, she thought. Parita waited for the quest to end so that she could migrate herself into the 4th dimension dance room. However, the black blood didn’t follow gravity and seeped deeper into the soil. It spread horizontally on the ground and crept towards Parita, resembling live fungi pursuing sustenance. The black blood’s movement caught Parita’s attention. Her expression darkened due to shock. "Well, damn. Is this alive?!" [Yes, it’s alive, and it’s black. Be ready to kill it.] Parita was baffled. She knew only a few moves, and all of her offensive skills should only be effective against big targets. She didn’t remember learning anything to counter a fluid-type monster or microorganisms. [You’ve been saving up the idol-meeting spell for a while, right?] "Oh, that! I forgot about it." Parita regained hope. While the black blood spilled into her cell, she chanted the magic word. "IDOL MEETING MAGIC!" The entire dungeon brightened, and the holy ray disintegrated the black fluid. The light spread and covered the two corpses. The virus, worms, human waste, and harmful microorganisms vanished into the golden light. Sars and H5N9 remained dead as dried corpses. They also stopped mutating. Because of the holy light, the accumulated waste in the soil, the mold on the walls, the rust, carbon monoxide, and every speck of dust were gone as well. The entire underground dungeon was sparkling clean. Even the cells looked brand new. The prison air carried the comforting scent of sunlight, similar to the smell of dry clothes just off the clothesline. Parita couldn’t help but inhale deeply and savor the taste of radiation. [You have obtained 2,146 Idol Points.] Parita clenched her fist and cheered. Being high on dopamine, she mimicked a Fortnite meme dance. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net After grooving in silence for minutes, she stopped to catch her breath. After moving so much, she felt suffocated. She forgot that the dungeon no longer had breathable air. She was also surprised that she managed to stay alive and clear-headed after so long. "By the way, just curious. How am I still alive? I should have fainted along with them long ago." [Your blood cells are presently capable of holding more oxygen and other elements compared to standard blood cells. If necessary, you can survive without breathing for a month or so. But if you’re active, maybe a few days.] Parita’s eyes narrowed. She recalled that the system had prevented her from using the idol meeting magic before. She was puzzled about why it stopped her since she had to use it in the end. "How is using the idol meeting magic different this time around? What would have occurred if I had used it before they turned?" [You would have cured and healed the two men. They would have been alive by now.] "What?! You intentionally let them die?!" [You didn’t show a qualm when you smoked them to death, no?] "...But they stink! If I hadn’t smoked them, I would have fainted and died from their shit!" [You would have also acquired fewer idol points since their infected blood hadn’t matured yet.] "Never mind. You’re a genius! You should have said that earlier. I get more points, so they deserve it!" Parita rubbed her hands and prepared to shop. For the moment, she only browsed through items and system perks to kill time. Since she had unlocked the access to video games, she might as well enjoy her introvert lifestyle. Although modern games seemed promising, Parita was torn. Game keys were priced at 100 Idol Points apiece, while game consoles were available for purchase at 599 Idol Points each. She scratched her head and asked the system. "Say, can I only buy the game keys and play using the system’s windows? The keyboard, mouse, and the joystick you mentioned earlier, where are they?" [You have to buy them from the store first.] "Oh, come on. They’re freaking expensive!" [It’s always wise to invest a little in the tools you need for your job. 599 + a few hundred idol points can give you a few days’ worth of content. Bear in mind that no one in this world is aware of the modern world’s game concept. You’ll get a lot of viewers.] "...I know. But can I just play some games offline? Maybe a few naughty games that I can’t stream... pretty please?" [What kind of naughty games...?] Parita grinned and navigated through the system shop. She searched the game’s name and a raunchy cover appeared on the screen. There were werewolves. There was no heroine. And there were NSFW tags. A lot of tags. Parita fidgeted and pointed at it. "Please?" [HOLY FRIGG!! WHAT IN THE RAKNAROK DID YOU MIDGARDIANS CREATE?!] [No, young lady, these games are banned. REMOVED! This is blasphemy!] Many games vanished from the store, leaving only SFW games and regular merchandise. Parita fell on her knees and wailed. "NOOOOO!! MY FURRY HAREM!" [PLAY. NORMAL. GAMES. PLEASE!] "Mah werewolves. My furry balls! Mom, I wanna see bad wolfies smacking balls at each other, please!" [...You are beyond salvation.] Parita could hear a soft woman’s sigh from the system screen. She laughed and got up. She had pranked the system enough. "Just kidding. Heh, I was never into those kinds of games, anyway." [Thank Odin! But wait, past tense?] "Never mind that. Well, what’s the next quest?" [...Wait until after midnight. No more daily quests for today.] Meanwhile, outside the prison, Lupus and H5N8 had a private meeting. They sat face-to-face in the guild office. Behind H5N8 was the black-haired vampire, Andean. As it was 11 PM, he calmly stood among the people. Lupus was also accompanied by Neutrophils and Rubella. They glared at Andean in distrust and wary. H5N8 tossed a letter to Lupus. He explained. "More Hungers show up in other cities, not just us. Be ready to mobilize everybody south and head to the Jay-Free Fortress. As for the citizens, they shall migrate to the capital city." Lupus frowned deeply as they didn’t have time to take a break from the ordeal. Moreover, Parita was still quarantined in prison, and he was worried that H5N8 might do something to her when they were away. The letter revealed a request from Jay-Free Fortress City, which reported Hunger and Starve sightings. Based on the letter’s content, they believed about 50 Hungers and three Starves had banded together. The fortress city’s lord demanded that every nearby town had to deploy troops and local adventurers to help it. If the fortress were to be captured, the monsters could spread chaos throughout other provinces and the mainland. "We’ll move after we conclude the trial." Lupus skimmed through the letter’s content and tossed it back. H5N8 rebuked. "Don’t you have eyes? The third prince sent the order. This is a royal decree. You have to comply with reading the letter." "Who cares if we’ll be a few days late? We’ll recoup and march out after we conclude Miss Kestrel’s trial." "The elf stays here. You must depart TODAY!" "It’s midnight. We haven’t informed the other adventurers yet, and it takes time to relay news. Therefore, seven days is the fastest that we can mobilize." "Make it tomorrow, or I’ll take it that you have the intention of rebelling." Lupus leaned forward and sneered. "Who cares if we’ll be branded as traitors? Your country isn’t the only one that supports the adventurer guild." Neutrophils, who had been standing behind Lupus and listening to their conversation, finally added. "The church vouches that the Diddease Town’s adventurer branch requires seven days to fully mobilize its troops and members. They cannot march abruptly." H5N8 glared at the two men in resentment. After a few seconds of awkward silence, H5N8 inclined on his sofa and glanced at his follower. Andean nodded and threatened them. "The Condor Clan is in charge of managing the internal affairs of the kingdom. We shall report this to his majesty, that the adventurer guild did not give it their all for the country. Based on our evaluation and witnesses, the Condor Clan believes it would be in his majesty’s best interest to... disband the guild." "...Your threat means nothing." Andean nodded to H5N8, who got up and left. Andean followed after his boss. Lupus and Neutrophils gnashed their teeth. They knew what H5N8 was up to. "That pervert... He wants her so bad that he resorts to this?!"
