Another World Gallery Became Popular

20 – The Alternate World Elf Gallery

“One word can pay off a thousand coin debt.”

Conversely?

“One word can create a thousand coin debt.”

Serendia was staggered!

“…With just words?”

Nothing in this world comes for free.

Seeing Judjak’s reaction, Serendia’s distress deepened.

If not merely for words, something else is desired.

What on earth could that be?

Out of all possibilities, what’s the most desirable?

Worried, in her void-space, she pulled out a photo-shooting artifact and wrote a post.

─Serendia

Title: Will this do?

(A slightly rolled up collarbone photo.jpg)

ㄴJudjak) Wow, let’s continue like this.

ㄴYeah, very much agreed.

ㄴCrazy!

ㄴAs if a collarbone is gonna unban him.

ㄴPrepare more collarbones.

ㄴBut really, it’s pretty.

They responded well. This level of a picture wasn’t even embarrassing.

She wouldn’t mind rolling in a dung field, as long as it’s for survival.

However, Serendia remembered something elusive.

“Wasn’t my intention to give him a collarbone photo?”

Wasn’t she trying to conduct some political… whatnot while unbanning Ardell?

Offering a favor to Judjak as bait, she saw an opportunity! A crisis turned into an opportunity!

Anyway, she succeeded in loosening the mood with one collarbone photo.

Should she completely bare her chest from this point on?

No matter how hard she thought, that didn’t seem right.

If she showed her chest…

—lol thx hahahaha

This was likely to be dismissed with such casual replies. But she can’t let that happen.

It is a fact widely known that men prefer when women don’t bare too much skin.

Serendia posted another picture.

—Serendia

Title) How about this?

(Picture showing tongue and clavicle.jpg)

ㄴZwang) Hell yeah~

ㄴCuteness Overload~~

ㄴAhahahaha!

ㄴNot the work of someone who has browsed online just once or twice lol

ㄴThis is the true epitome of a queen’s elegance lol

Amid the rocking responses,

Serendia racked her brain hard.

“Hmm…”

It wasn’t wit that got her to the queen’s seat, so solutions didn’t come easily…

But it wasn’t just luck that kept her as a queen.

She was the best at taking advice from others.

She had to confer a favor on Zwang with a decent promise.

What should she promise though?

She took out a sheet of fine parchment from her bag.

She carefully wrote down sentences that contained her concerns.

Her skillful handwriting, practiced over years, completed the dignity of a queen.

—This document is guaranteed by the Queen of Ardell, Serendia.

—As the administrator of the Auction House and the current owner of the gallery, Zwang will be given the chance to request any favor.

—Ardell promises to continue to provide favors to the current owner of the gallery, Zwang.

—This promise will be maintained as long as neither party harms the other.

—The promise is only valid if they meet face to face.

“Hmm.”

Isn’t this good enough?

She firmly engraved her mana seal last.

Perfect.

She set to make it only purchasable by Administrators before putting the document in the auction house.

[A Contract Agreement with Serendia, the Queen of Ardel]

-Starting bid: 1 silver

-Serendia

Title: I Said It’s Not Allowed To Wear Nothing But Lingerie

I hope you would check it out at the auction house.

ㄴOh lol

ㄴWhat is this?

ㄴFor real lol

ㄴHey, what’s this?

As expected, the hyenas hovering around the auction house began to pounce.

ㄴI want to bid lol

ㄴI’d pay up to 300k gold lol

ㄴCan’t resist the official Ardel merch lol

ㄴArdel merch ftw lol

ㄴHey, why can’t I place a bid?

ㄴOnly administrators can

ㄴOnly the main character can buy it

ㄴMain character, buy it for me. I’ll pay 5 million gold

ㄴlol

ㄴWhat’s this purchase on behalf lol

ㄴThe main character ended up buying it

ㄴWish I were the main character to buy it lol

ㄴAh~ this is a difference in power~

Title: Is that legit?

Yeah?

-Main Character) Yeah

“What’s it about?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Too bad.”

“No matter how much you complain, it’s a national secret document isn’t it? It would be difficult to tell you.”

“Difficult content?”

“Did Serendia write such documents?”

“Serendia. (Blockhead, big chest, pretty)”

“Hmm.”

“Indeed, there’s evidence of her being a blockhead.”

“Lmao, anyone can see that she’s a blockhead.”

“A complete package indeed, lol.”

“Those damn bastards!”

“I’m not that much of a blockhead!”

While Serendia was angry, everything was wrapped up through my summary of the situation.

– I can’t disclose

Title: It’s okay after reading it.

Ok, I’ll unban Arde.

“Wow, lol, finally.”

“Arde’s liberation!!!”

“Finally, the time has started to flow…”

“I thought I was going to die holding my breath.”

“Is this… air?”

“So this is what breathing feels like.”

“Lmao, I became conscious of my breathing, sucks.”

“Why did you say that!!!!!!!”

“You’re breathing through your nose. Your nose bridge itches.”

“Your instep itches… feels like there’s a bug on your back…”

“I guess magic is also possible in the gallery, lol.”

“Text illusion spell, lol.”

“You jerk, lol.”

Title) But

Blocking the gallery was too harsh ㅇㅇ;

ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋ

ㄴFeels suffocating ㅋㅋ

ㄴIf it were me, I might’ve offed myself ㅋㅋ

ㄴHeld my breath until the gallery opened

ㄴI threw all the tomatoes in the marketplace until it opened ㅇㅇ;

ㄴㅅㅂㅋㅋ Why the hell did you throw tomatoes, you crazy?

ㄴThe fruit shop owner must have been sobbingㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴTomato festival on ㅋㅋㅋ

Title) Ardel Situation

(Photo of fireworks exploding in Ardel underground city.jpg)

Everyone’s having fun

ㄴEntering the festival ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴReally feel like we achieved independence ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴsh*t ㅋㅋ, I think I now know what it feels like when the gallery is closed

ㄴIt must feel similar when severed ties with neighboring countries are mended ㅋㅋ

Title) Curious Point

I wonder what was written there

ㄴWake you up every morning?

ㄴAre you the mother? ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴImagine Serendia being your mother

ㄴTears flowing from being moved

ㄴTears flowing ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴSob… I had no idea…

ㄴIf Serendia is my mother, there’s a chance she could become my wife?

ㄴWhat the hell are you talking about ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴYou’re really losing it ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴI asked Serendia to give birth to a younger sister ㄹㅇ;

ㄴMy wife who was born from my mother ㄷㄷ

“Are these guys out of their minds?”

“Can they go about daily life?”

“But seriously, I’m curious what was actually written.”

“Do you think the content is really important?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Title: The official document of Ardel itself is critical.

These guys, at the very least, will try to never break the contents of “contracts”, “promises”, etc., which are written on official documents.

Since they’ve been burned by the elves, they’re quite sensitive about these things. For real, hahahaha

So, they consider the official document itself to be crucial.

They’re sincerely believe in it. It’s like a guarantee.

And the value of its contents could be difficult to determine, no matter what it is.

“Wow, they’re nuts.”

“So what’s the content?”

“The content is out!”

“Really?”

“Nah, I’m kidding”

“You frickin asshole!”

“Wait, it’s really out?”

“Yeah, it’s really out.”

-Judak

Title: Since you’re curious about the content…

I’ll help you out. I’ll treat it favorably.

That’s about the extent of it.

“Wow, that’s crazy.”

“What’s crazy?”

“We don’t communicate with these dark elf bastards, but these guys have offered to help.”

“Recently, it seems to be their only expression of goodwill?”

“Wow, hahahaha.”

Official gallery support in Ardel

Ardel’s only real friend

A real ‘loser’ friend going to the gallery

Anyone want to have a meal together?

Uh… Having a meal together…

Ah, hahahaha

Damn it, hahahaha. Reminds me of academy days.

Title) But I’m curious about something

Can I ask a personal favor?

What do you think about showing your chest?

Is that kind of favor really a favor?

What are you talking about?

Dark Elves just shrug off modesty

Survival is the real issue here, hahahaha

Yeah right, hahahaha. Different from the Elves, hahahaha.

We live in a different world

How to survive in Ardel “Get rid of shame”

Continental chest gallery, hahahaha

But why ask for a chest favor?

?

And?

Just ask me to marry you

Isn’t that kind of favor given when you’re married?

Seriously, it’s easy after marriage, hahahaha

I’d likely do it every day, hahahaha

The queen who throws mutton at official events… becomes a bride at night?!

Damn it, hahahaha

I’d be glad if I didn’t die at night, hahahaha

In the midst of such discussion about Serendia’s bridal night.

Serendia also posted a letter.

─Serendia

Title) There’s something I’m really curious about.

Is it a male?

ㄴ?

ㄴNow that you mention it, maybe it is.

ㄴIt wasn’t said that it was a male?

ㄴWhat if it’s a female?

ㄴWhat do we do then? Strive until it burns out ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴStrive until the Arctic ice melts ㅠㅠ

ㄴPolar bear: f*cking bastards

ㄴPolar bear in tears ㅋㅋㅋ

As the comments continued, Serendia’s feelings complicated.

There were many fleeting thoughts.

It’d be a different story if it’s a female.

‘Female….’

Serendia had no desire to compete against other females.

It’d be good if it was a male..

It was Serendia’s little hope – also a display of self-confidence.

‘Males are no big deal, right?’

Just showing some skin, slightly flirting, that was enough to make them fall head over heels.

That was the case for most of them in the gallery.

Just by revealing a bit of collarbone earlier, it nearly knocked them over.

It would be the same if ‘he’ was a male.

‘They are just seeing a bit for now. They are so naive.’

Because the citizens of Ardel are striving for normalization of the gallery. The queen herself has lowered her knees.

This did not mean that she has truly ‘submitted’ to him!

‘Pretending to be nice… to win their favor.’

She aimed for his weakness.

If she became the true power of the gallery, she would have the ability to influence the entire continent.

Looking at the distant future, Serendia drew a large picture.

She quickly forgot any momentary embarrassment or humiliation.

Bending the knee was just a means to gain momentum!

The next time she bent her knee it would be as a ruler.

‘If it comes to that…’

Ardel would become a formidable force that no one could overlook.

She could topple the Elves and reclaim the throne of the World Tree!

The age of the Dark Elves was coming.

Dark Elves would rule the world.

Serendia, filled with bold ambition, engraved it in her heart.

While she was imagining humans trembling at her feet, Elves pleading for mercy…

“…”

Queen Eris of Elan too was engrossed in deep thought.

All due to Serendia, who had become the talk of the town with the recent incident.

“Dark Elves…”

What kind of race were the Dark Elves?

Not like the Elves, the Dark Elves were impulsive and without pretense but…

Conversely, it meant they could easily handle the dirty work that the Elves would not.

Unlike the Elves who belonged to the light and cared for the branches and leaves of the World Tree, they managed its roots, the foundation of the World Tree.

Thus, Dark Elves were also important to Elves.

They were a race born from the same root of the World Tree, despite their different skin color and culture.

So, Eris wanted to take more care of the Dark Elves.

‘…The senile elders won’t understand, though.’

Those senile elders who took for granted and reveled in the Dark Elves’ fall.

Would they really understand?

Would they stop looking down on Dark Elves for doing the “dirty and lowly work”?

Eris shook her head.

Nobody would agree with her.

Although a queen, she was in a situation with no supporters.

She had to fight this battle alone, in solitude.

And hide her feelings more than anyone as she awaited the opportunity.

Moving forward, when they’d established their footing in a position that nobody could touch.

When that time comes, Eris intended to carry out the plan she had laid out.

But would Ardel be safe until then?

Considering other countries are rapidly developing, would Ardel, standing still, be truly safe?

A leisurely choking game was in progress.

Even the dark elf was trying to somehow establish a connection with Juddak!

The elders, unable to read the room, were gnashing their teeth.

“Argghhh…!”

Why can’t they read the flow of the world…! These darned conservatives!

Confiscate all the staffs! From now on, don’t use magic and walk around!

Eris pressed her aching head with a hand in frustration.

“Why…! Why don’t they ride the wave!”

If they support Juddak with an official statement, it could give them strong backing.

What is Juddak? Is he not a person who can influence the whole continent?

If they side with him, they can become a powerful nation influencing the whole continent!

‘This is the opportunity…!’

In Eris’s view, this was an excellent opportunity.

While other countries have not yet made connections with Juddak!

They must take advantage of this naturally occurring opportunity!

‘But they still insist that Juddak is dangerous!’

Was it because they were old? They keep repeating conservative views in the council.

Ugh… Do they think we’re so naive to support Juddak without knowing who he really is?

Ha, ha. If this uncertain time is one of opportunity, couldn’t it also be a crisis?

Involved in a high risk venture… Furthermore, entangled with filthy dark elves…?

No, this can’t be… These stubborn…

Ugh…! We’ve already experienced politics! Queen! What do they think of us…!

In the end, the issue was how to support someone like Juddak, whom they didn’t even know properly.

What if Juddak was a villain who was wreaking havoc on the continent?

Those who support him would become sponsors of the villain, trash!

It could be an ideal occasion to receive criticism from continental society.

Therefore, the senior elves did not move.

“Sigh… Ha.”

Eris let out a dry laugh.

She observed Judak closely as she was the closest.

Gallerie Padak was annoying… annoying… greatly affected her mentality…

It was an unpleasant position for various reasons, but one thing was clear.

This clown Judak didn’t pay any mind to anything outside gallery matters!

But to convince the elderly, if I were to tell them I’m Padak and the gallery elf?

The Queen would probably scorn, saying she’s towing the dignity of elves, remaining stiff-necked.

“Ugh…”

Eris despised the senior members more than usual today.

Of course, she disliked the Demon King as usual.

‘…I can’t go on like this.’

She formulated a small plan.
