Chapter 28
HunterYaKaeYo centered her campaign promise on armor, with the Hunter Management Bureau backing her.
Then, which faction is most likely to support Elsa?
“Pokkulom Guild Master! The entire Hansarang Mountaineering Club reports that we have all voted for Queen Elsa!”
“Was it not a mistake because of poor eyesight? Didn’t you accidentally vote for HunterYaKaeYo?”
“We absolutely did not make a mistake!!”
“Great!”
As expected, the Hansarang Mountaineering Club, which had been driving the Queen meme in the gallery since their arrival, stood behind her.
Their rugged, dusty appearance clearly lacked one thing: armor.
“Man! What’s the point of wearing something cumbersome like that?”
“I told you, I don’t need that stuff!”
“If I wear gear, I can’t feel the satisfaction in my hands!”
Hansarang Mountaineering Club was not a group of mere “macho wannabes” but the real ultimate true alpha males.
Perhaps it was because of their pre-existing desensitization to safety before awakening.
They unanimously rejected armor and adhered to an offensive-first fighting style.
“Burn them before we melt.” This was their creed, and even Pokkulom agreed with it.
Does that mean their mortality rate was high? Not at all.
The majority of their deaths stemmed from accidental friendly fire due to poor eyesight!
Title: [Elsa] The Queen’s Promises (Warm and Gentle)
[1] From now on, I will engage with Hunter Fanboys more warmly (like sunlight).
[2] Gangwon Province is indeed the land of potatoes (gentle and embracing).
[3] I will convince the Admin to reward supporters of the Queen with weapons (Let it be).
[4] My track record of defending Gangwon Province from an A-rank monster.
—Suddenly, Elsa transforms into the Summer Queen.
┗ When did spring arrive?
┗ It’s warming up, huh.
┗ “Let it be” vibes.
┗ Frozen to melted.
┗ Haha, she’s just rallying supporters, obviously.
┗ So, does this mean she’s going to stick with that gimmick?
┗ But hey, “Let It Be” is better than “Let It Go,” right?
┗ Agreed.
—Acknowledging Gangwon Province as potato country is hilarious.
┗ Elsa, do you use potatoes as currency too?
┗ [Elsa] Yes (sweet potatoes are 50,000-won bills).
┗ LOL.
┗ Queen of positive vibes.
— “Hunter Fanboys! Join the Elsa faction!”
┗ Are you in Elsa’s faction too?
┗ Hey, you too?
┗ This is the true blue faction, haha.
┗ Awaken yourselves!
┗ Vote for the Queen!
—Who even wears armor like some gamer?
┗ Typical nerd move: wrapping themselves in armor and trying not to die.
┗ True alpha move: Even if you die, land one more hit with your weapon.
┗ Oh! This guy gets it!
┗ Man! Real men only need weapons!
┗ As expected of Queen Elsa! She knows what’s up!
—Elsa’s track record is impressive.
┗ Elsa is a well-known B-rank Hunter.
┗ She’s the Hunter who single-handedly defeated an A-rank monster.
┗ “Fit for a Queen.”
Though they joked about supporting a queen in the gallery, the “Queen meme” was, after all, just a playful gag.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely a joke—it held a sliver of sincerity.
“Weapons! We need more weapons!”
Ultimately, the Hansarang Mountaineering Club supported Elsa because of her promise to provide weapons as a reward for her supporters!
Other promises also appealed to them.
While a cold, winter-like queen was charming, a warm, spring-like queen was even better.
“Admin… I misjudged you….”
The only thing they didn’t appreciate was Elsa’s use of magic.
Magic was a complicated, futuristic ability that Hansarang Mountaineering Club wanted to keep their distance from. But Pokkulom decided to make an exception this time.
Furthermore, Elsa revealed that she used the Frost Sword of Melquidon, a gift from the Admin.
She had the heart of a reckless, attack-first brawler prioritizing offense over defense! And her solo victory over an A-rank monster cemented her reputation.
If she could hand out weapons to the guild members, what did anything else matter?
“Admin… is that really possible? Your abilities are truly miraculous….”
As he scratched his curly hair in awe of the Admin, news came in.
“Pokkulom Guild Master! The vote has reached a 50:50 tie!”
“!!!”
The real battle had just begun.
***
“Wow. They’re taking this way more seriously than expected.”
Was it because of the rewards? Every Hunter Fanboy was participating with intense fervor.
[Title]: The Real Faces of Those Voting for Elsa. JPG
People looking at the pictures HunterYaKaeYo uploads probably look like this:
(A random, unimpressive image. JPG)
—Why are people voting for HunterYaKaeYo?
┗ Do you think voting for her will make a butt appear in front of you?
┗ Watch your words. That’s the “Butt Faction.”
┗ That’s ridiculous.
┗ HunterYaKaeYo’s campaign reads like a middle school student running for class president.
┗ Totally.
—Do you think you’ll actually be able to use the weapons Elsa promises?
┗ Do you think they’ll even know how to use them properly, LOL?
┗ Their brainpower isn’t exactly promising.
┗ Elsa’s faction members act like they’re all A-rank Hunters.
┗ They’re already fantasizing about using the weapons to massacre monsters. Shh!
┗ Obviously, staying alive should come first, LOL.
—Weapons vs. Armor
┗ Weapons, obviously.
┗ No, armor is better.
┗ Hey, if you can’t kill the monster, you can’t get magic stones!
┗ And if you die, what’s the point of having magic stones?
[Title]: Why You Should Vote for HunterYaKaeYo
There’s no such reason, you morons, lol.
Do you really think voting for YaKaeYo will result in her handing out actual rewards?
┗ Exactly what I’m saying!
┗ Do you think she’s actually your master or something, lol?
┗ Only the Admin gets to see YaKaeYo’s pictures directly, lol.
┗ Not even the Admin has seen her in real life, right?
┗ Even the Admin would find that tough….
—And what are you going to do if you get armor by voting for YaKaeYo? Become a tank?
┗ Haha, they say they’ll stand in the front line, lol.
┗ Typical tank Hunter: gets trampled by a troll and ends up like a pancake.
┗ Can they even withstand a wyvern’s breath?
┗ Absolutely not, lol.
┗ Fact: No.
┗ How many named Hunters actually survive as tanks?
┗ Maybe you’d find one or two in the Handful Squad, lol.
—All those who support the “Butt Faction” are supposedly paladin Hunters, lol.
┗ Paladin, lol, even rogues beat them.
┗ That’s not true.
┗ Don’t go overboard.
┗ Alright.
—What’s so great about Elsa being kinder?
┗ It makes gallery activity a little more enjoyable, I guess?
┗ Lol, what kind of logic is that?
┗ Let it go or let it be, it’s all the same, lol.
┗ Either way, the concept is equally annoying, lol.
┗ Feeling happy in a dumpster doesn’t change the fact it’s a dumpster, lol.
┗ Exactly, lol.
┗ Wouldn’t it be better to just look at pictures of YaKaeYo and be happy?
In the comments, Hunter Fanboys were passionately “persuading” each other in heated discussions.
The approval ratings shifted by the second, with neither side willing to yield an inch!
But let’s not forget—this vote includes three candidates.
What about our final candidate and infamous party crasher, the D-rank Porter?
“No one is even paying attention…?”
It was true. Her approval rating stood at 0%.
Even though the Porter hadn’t posted a campaign promise, the sheer indifference was shocking.
Shouldn’t there be some brainless supporters at least?
I couldn’t help but worry that she might feel hurt.
This stalemate needed to be broken. For that, the last candidate had to make an appearance.
Never in my life did I expect this, but I found myself rooting for the D-rank Porter.
At that moment, a new post suddenly appeared!
[Title]: [Demon King123] Pathetic Humans, Behold My Update!
I have decided to examine the humans I am destined to rule more closely!
So… I deliberately befriended a group of homeless people.
Following them, I even performed the act of begging.
Yet, I have received no “alms” so far.
—Kuhaha!!! Demon King!!! It’s me!!!
┗ [Demon King123] One of the Four Heavenly Kings… Stag Beetle….
┗ Finally, you’ve recognized me! Wahaha!!!
┗ Demon King!!! You’ll definitely win this popularity vote!!!
┗ [Demon King123] I am not participating in the vote….
—Oh ho ho~ Demon King~ I’m here too~
┗ [Demon King123] Rank 3… Octopus Soup….
┗ You’ve finally remembered me~ I’m touched~
┗ I also voted for you, Demon King~
┗ [Demon King123] I told you, I am not a candidate….
—Demon King, lol, did you “deliberately” befriend them, or did the homeless group adopt you?
┗ [Demon King123] It was deliberate!!!
┗ Wait, are you actually poor and not just pretending?
┗ Yeah, he’s always saying he’s starving, lol.
—I thought the poverty was just part of the act, lol.
┗ Stay strong, Demon King!!!
┗ Our Demon King! I believe you can do it!!!
┗ Vote for the Demon King!!!
It was Demon King123.
“Was he serious about being broke?”
I thought his poverty was part of his Demon King persona….
So, the homeless group really did take him in?
Predictably, PakMiUp! didn’t include him, but judging from the comments, he had a surprising number of supporters. He was quietly building his faction.
“You can be the odd one out….”
It’s pitiful. Every game needs an odd one out. Even kind-hearted Hunter Fanboys would understand that.
I couldn’t add him to the popularity vote right now, but I’d take care of him on my own.
At that moment, the D-rank Porter didn’t make a post but appeared in the comment section.
— [D-rank Porter] It’s sad how none of you understand the essence of Hunters….
┗ [D-rank Porter] Hunters are meant to protect the world’s order and save civilians’ lives.
┗ [D-rank Porter] Equipment is not what matters!
┗ But… you’re not a Hunter….
┗ Just a Porter!
┗ [D-rank Porter] Gah!!! Does the noble act of saving civilian lives depend on one’s position?!
┗ Then what’s important?!
┗ Tell us, you Porter!!!
┗ [D-rank Porter] Hunters must value their own lives as much as the lives of civilians!
┗ [D-rank Porter] I’ve made my decision….
What meaningless, trivial decision had she made?
Could it be something that would shake the current dynamic?
“Could it be… is the Porter considering suicide?!”
No! Porter!! That’s too drastic! Don’t do something so reckless!
— [D-rank Porter] From now on, I will act solo…. I will no longer party with raid groups.
┗ !!!!!
At that moment, the Hunter Gallery collectively bent like a bowstring.
((T/L Note: Everyone is assuming that DEMONKING123 is a male, that’s why they’re using he/him when addressing her.))
