Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 469

***

[What’s with the sudden mood?]

[Why is Lin talking so well?]

[In this situation, there are a lot of flustered streamers, but what’s up with Lin?]

[Wow, that shift in posture was immediate.]

[Is it real that Lin is adapting instantly?]

Sua unconsciously nodded at the rising chat messages.

“Seriously, sister, it’s amazing the more I see you.”

As soon as she heard the news of being transferred to the Caldea Empire, she turned on her sister’s stream and was just in time to watch it.

When the time came, those present welcomed her sister as if they had been waiting.

Just from the first impression, the atmosphere felt unusual.

Among them was Dalki, which made me realize they were important figures in the Caldea Empire, but most viewers were surprised.

So I thought my sister might be quite surprised too.

Initially, she was a little taken aback, but soon she treated them as if it were nothing.

She seemed calm even when addressing the blonde man who appeared to be an emperor.

The sister on the screen immediately started talking with those who had approached her.

—Lin, huh? You’re even prettier than I thought! I can see why Dalki chose you.

As a woman in a pure white robe teasingly spoke, my sister stared blankly at her.

—Are you perhaps the Master of the Mage Tower?

She then spoke nonchalantly and blinked her eyes for a moment.

“Master of the Mage Tower?”

I was puzzled as to why my sister was mentioning a being that was said to be harder to meet than a great hero.

—Oh my. Do you have a connection to the Mage Tower?

As the woman in the pure white robe spoke in a way that was neither an affirmation nor a denial, my mouth fell open for a moment.

“…Huh?”

[Hahahahahaha]

[I don’t know who this is, but why are they so cute?]

[Wow]

[Wait, they aren’t denying it?]

[Mage lady! Aahhhhhh]

[Master of the Mage Tower?]

[Oh come on, no way, right?]

It felt like the chat window was representing my thoughts.

After all, every mage fundamentally does not lie.

Because of their nature, which thinks something negative gathers in mana. As far as I know, there are no mages who lie unless they are a user.

However, the woman in the pure white robe did not deny my sister’s words. That in itself was akin to recognizing she was the Master of the Mage Tower.

“…”

I found that hard to believe.

The Master of the Mage Tower was the embodiment of the wishes—or perhaps hopes—of all mage classes.

Among the hidden classes existing in the mage lineage, there was definitely a hidden class related to the Master of the Mage Tower.

Talk about it had been going on for years.

But so far, rumors only suggested that users had encountered the Master of the Mage Tower. The information known about them was extremely scarce.

There were only rumors about what they looked like or what kind of attire they wore, nothing concrete was actually known.

There was a Mage Tower in the Randell Empire, and thus, there was a Master of the Mage Tower too.

The problem was that it was far rarer for someone to meet them than the rarity of encountering a great hero.

The sister on the screen spoke for a moment:

—Rather than having a connection to the Mage Tower… I just had a feeling.

I was taken aback as she replied with a gentle smile.

“Is that what you’re going to say?”

The fact that my sister was not surprised in front of the Master of the Mage Tower felt strangely natural.

—You really call me without hesitation. Alright, good. What are your thoughts on coming to the Caldea Empire?

The woman called Rani asked with a smile, and my sister slowly looked around. The screen reflected her gaze, showing the interior of a splendid banquet hall.

It looked like a place I had seen somewhere before.

It had an elegant atmosphere with an openness. The banquet hall had an Eastern style that felt graceful in itself.

I soon realized why it seemed familiar.

“This is the banquet hall where you first met Dalki, right?”

Muttering that, I felt assured that I was indeed correct.

—It looks like a nice place.

—It seems nice… I would really like to have more conversations, but I can’t monopolize you alone, so I’ll end my words here for today.

As Rani smiled and stepped back, another being quickly approached my sister.

The first thing that caught my eye was a man in armor adorned with luxurious patterns and a sharp demeanor. There was an air about him that suggested he shouldn’t be taken lightly.

“Could he be the leader of the knights?”

Muttering with a strangely familiar feeling, just as I expected.

The man introduced himself as the leader of the royal knights.

…

As the time for introductions continued, my sister leisurely conversed with them.

And I found myself questioning why my sister felt unnaturally at ease.

‘How is she so natural like that?’

The people my sister was tackling were surely major figures in the Caldea Empire. Considering the first person she encountered was the emperor made it all the more astonishing.

Aside from that, from the Master of the Mage Tower to the leader of the royal knights and the guild leader of the mercenaries…

If I were to compare them to the Randell Empire, they all had incredibly significant names, yet my sister maintained her composure throughout.

She seemed as if she had encountered them frequently, as if she would feel no awkwardness even if she were one of them.

Just as it seemed the introductions had come to an end, Dalki, who had been watching silently, moved.

[Dalki is so cute!]

[The vibes here are something else!]

[The community is going to go wild again.]

The chat exploded as soon as Dalki made her move.

Ding ding!

『Molru donated 50,000 won!!』

《What’s with this atmosphere…?》

『Mint Chocolate Hate donated 50,000 won!!』

《Just watching makes me tremble;》

Although I shifted my gaze to the ringing donations, my sister remained unfazed.

She just smiled slightly while looking at the approaching Dalki as if she forgot that she was even live broadcasting.

***

“You are not surprised at all, are you?”

Dalki smiled and spoke to Serin, who lifted her eyes slightly to gaze at her.

‘It feels like she was intentionally observing me.’

I found Dalki’s attitude quite mischievous and let out a small sigh.

“I was surprised a lot.”

Though I was trying to act nonchalant outwardly, I was not unaffected.

I had been quite nervous when first facing the emperor, and I couldn’t let my guard down around the other figures either.

“Were you not surprised? You handled yourself quite well. You didn’t seem intimidated when meeting His Majesty the Emperor, and you appeared composed even while speaking with the empire’s high-ranking officials. Was I mistaken?”

Feeling Dalki’s appreciation, I couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Dalki must be older than me despite that beautiful appearance.

Still, it was fascinating to me that I was treated like that by someone else.

“Did I seem composed to you?”

“To me, you appeared that way.”

As Dalki spoke, I felt the quickly rising chat messages and the ringing donations.

‘How could I show weakness here?’

There were nearly 50,000 people watching the broadcast right now.

Even if this weren’t a live broadcast, I couldn’t show weakness upon meeting them for the first time.

I had to appear strong and composed, even if it required some effort.

Being conscious of Dalki’s gaze, I opened my mouth.

“Could we walk a bit?”

At this point, I had already exchanged introductions with the people around us, and I wanted to leave the area.

“…I see I have burdened you. Very well. I shall guide you directly to the Imperial Palace.”

As if she had sensed my thoughts, Dalki began to walk, and I started walking alongside her to exit the space.

The sound of the black silk garment Dalki wore brushing against itself brought a sense of relief as I saw the gazes fade away.

…

Once we stepped out of the grand banquet hall, a different space came into view.

An endless corridor.

There were many red columns along the long vertical space, decorated beautifully, which was fascinating.

And as the scrutinizing gazes disappeared, I unconsciously relaxed my speech.

“Has the palace always looked like this?”

I blurted out the question without thinking.

After all, just a moment ago, the people I encountered all had exotic appearances.

Amid the Western-like appearances, elements of the palace and clothing seemed to carry an oddly Eastern vibe.

It felt like there was an incongruity as if something was mixed.

“The palace wasn’t always like this from the beginning… Lin. You have better observational skills than I thought?”

Dalki’s playful reply made me blink.

“Then could it be…”

“All of this is to my taste.”

I found myself gazing down the corridor without thinking and then quickly looked back at Dalki.

Once again, she was an overwhelming beauty.

Dalki’s presence was always unparalleled.

But…

Could she have enough influence to say she changed the imperial palace to her liking?
