◈ I Unleashed a Gossip Gallery in Another World ◈
Chapter 31: Proxy Family Meeting (3)
──────
The Magnesia Empire was home to countless powerful figures.
That was even setting aside the Witch of the West, one of the Four Calamities said to possess strength equal to the Demon King.
For example, Ciel, the Empire's Finest Sword and a candidate for the continent's finest sword.
Lugnox, head of the International Mage Association and a great mage respected by all, as well as Leonart, a master of duel magic.
There were also the captain of the Imperial Royal Guard, the adventurer who had held first place in the Adventurer's Guild rankings for the longest time in history, and the leader of the shadowy assassin organization surrounded by rumors.
Including those not mentioned just now, the Magnesia Empire housed enough formidable people to fully deserve its reputation as the strongest nation on the continent.
But if one asked who was the strongest?
"Salute the Commander-in-Chief!"
The Empire's people would undoubtedly choose one person.
"Loyalty!"
"We have returned after completing our mission!"
"Zero deaths, one injury! Fortunately, it appears to be a minor injury that will not significantly affect combat readiness!"
That person was Elosia Durgel, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army.
"Report again from the beginning."
With a single sentence, she made the entire Northern Army, famous for giving central nobles a hard time, tremble in fear. She was the war hero who had led the continent-wide war to victory.
"Since when have you added unnecessary remarks to an official report?"
"I-I apologize!"
"Keep it short and concise. State only objective facts."
Naturally, there was no one in the Empire who dared give such a woman a hard time.
"Zero deaths! One injury!"
"Everyone has returned safely!"
"There are no signs of a Monster Wave!"
After Commander-in-Chief Elosia's rebuke, the soldiers delivered their report again and held their salutes stiffly.
"At ease."
When their hands began to tremble, Elosia accepted their salute in a low voice.
"If you are the proud Northern Army."
"......"
"Give your all, even in minor skirmishes."
She looked each returning soldier in the eye and issued her warning in a short, concise tone.
"...Treat the injured, and take every measure to ensure there is no disruption to the front lines."
Even so, she did not forget to mention the injured before finally dismissing them.
"That is all."
"Loyalty!"
The thoroughly disciplined soldiers saluted in unison and hurried out of her tent.
"The Commander-in-Chief spoke so much..."
"Does that mean she is that disappointed in us...?"
"So she knows words other than attention, at ease, and charge..."
They vowed never to displease the Commander-in-Chief, who had been unusually talkative today.
"......"
As this situation showed, unlike the poorly regarded Ciel, Elosia was an object of reverence whom no one even dared resent.
The eldest daughter of House Durgel, who had been called a prince by the young ladies at the academy and had always been the object of their admiration.
Now that she wore her hair long, she possessed absolute charisma as Commander-in-Chief, and she had always maintained a blank expression, both then and now.
Beep-beep!
There was even a joke that the day she smiled would be the day the Empire fell.
"......!"
But at this very moment, something began happening that those who spread that joke would never believe.
Elosia, who had been sitting expressionlessly inside her tent, felt the vibration transmitted through her communication crystal ball, and her lips began to tremble.
"Little brotheeeerrrr!"
The next moment, an excited voice that sounded like a retriever wagging its tail filled the tent.
"My ears are going to fall off, Big Sister."
"What a surprise! My little brother actually contacted meee!?"
"Big Sister... Please."
The person she was speaking with was none other than her only biological younger brother, Elrod Durgel.
"Do your subordinates know you talk like that...?"
"Why should I careee?"
"No... Never mind."
As one could tell by now, Elosia had a personality completely opposite to Eirin's.
She appeared flawless and iron-willed on the outside, but only around Elrod did she show her true personality without hiding it.
"So why did my cute little brother contact meee?"
"Well... Haa."
Elosia, who had not hidden her real personality in a very long time, asked in a voice overflowing with affection.
"Um... You haven't been using some weird Gallery lately, have you?"
"Hm?"
"That thing... What was it... Something Gossip whatever..."
At Elrod's voice through the crystal ball, she began scratching her head.
"Little brother."
Then she suddenly lowered her voice and replied in a serious tone.
"Would I, the eldest daughter of House Durgel and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, use such a vulgar Gallery?"
The voice that had once made young ladies fall for her at the academy sounded far more dependable than the serious attitude of most men.
"Don't you believe meee? Big Sister is sad..."
"No, I believe you..."
Of course, Elrod, the only person who knew her true nature, was an exception.
"Little brother! Is Eirin still bothering you these days?"
"......"
"Since you're not answering, is she still being rude?"
Elosia happily spoke with the younger brother who had ignored her messages every day.
"...Want Big Sister to straighten her out for you?"
Suddenly, she spoke in a chilling voice unlike her prince's voice.
"If I beat her until she is almost dead like last time, she probably will not bother you for about a year."
If Elrod had asked for help, she would have requested leave for the first time in her life and rushed to House Durgel.
"Eirin and you, Big Sister..."
"Hm?"
"No, never mind..."
Fortunately or unfortunately, that did not happen.
"I'm glad you seem to be doing well..."
"Ah, little brother!"
As Elrod showed signs of ending the call, Elosia hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to speak with him a little longer.
"Are there any young ladies you're dating these days?"
"......"
"If you start dating a young lady, make sure to bring her to me!"
With a bright expression that would give soldiers nightmares if they saw it, she boldly declared,
"I need to see whether she is a woman worthy of having my little brother..."
Her expression suddenly filled with killing intent.
"...Or."
Then Elosia brought two fingers together and aimed at a flying insect that had been buzzing beside her for some time.
Pop!
An instant later, the insect that had dared fly through the Commander-in-Chief's tent was erased from the world, leaving behind only its two wings.
"...Whether she is merely a woman no better than a fly."
And Elosia was fully prepared to do the same if she decided the bride Elrod brought home resembled that insect.
"I'll hang up now."
"Ah!"
Elosia, who had radiated killing intent never seen even on the battlefield, could not hide her panic as Elrod's call was about to end.
"Contact me often from now on...!"
But the crystal ball connection had already been cut off.
"Ahem..."
How much time passed after that?
After clearing her throat and returning to her usual blank expression, Elosia logged into the Gallery, which had recently become her sole source of enjoyment.
Noble-Bro1: So when are you coming in?
Noble-Bro1: Where did the person I was dueling go? Hehe.
Before one shameless bastard occupied it, Elosia had always been able to comfort herself with the feeling that she was together with her younger brother.
"Anyone who bothers cute Elrod."
Elosia had never written a single post even on an ordinary Gallery, much less the Gossip Gallery. Yet there was only one reason she had moved.
"...Will be executed without exception."
There was undoubtedly no one in the Empire capable of stopping Elosia, who had been robbed of her only joy in life.
Lady-Bro12: In Elrod's name, I shall punish you from this moment onward.
* * *
Duke Agnail, a hidden master and king of the underworld.
And Elosia, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army and war hero.
If the two fought with the sincere intention of killing each other, who would win?
'Big Sister would win, of course.'
The result would naturally be Elosia's overwhelming victory.
No matter how powerful Duke Agnail might be, Big Sister Elosia was a being on an entirely different level from ordinary humans.
Her specialties were Bullet-Type Swordsmanship and Bullet-Type Magic, both of which she had personally devised and founded.
She did not merely launch sword energy. She practically fired it, and there was no one else on the entire continent who used it that way.
Furthermore, Big Sister's strength was not limited to swordsmanship.
Her Bullet-Type Magic, fired by aiming two fingers at an opponent, was a supreme technique that was practically impossible to defend against.
The Mage Tower had even established a new school of study to counter and analyze that magic.
'No wonder she has the Hero's bloodline.'
Big Sister was likely so strong because the Hero's blood flowed through House Durgel.
But neither Big Sister nor anyone else in the Empire probably knew that history.
Too much time had passed. The legend of the Hero was now treated as little more than a fairy tale or myth.
Even Father, Count Durgel, probably did not know that our family was the last bloodline of the Hero.
I only realized it after sensing the faint power of the Hero within my own blood.
'But a Gossip Gallery Duel is different.'
There was one variable. This duel was taking place in the Gossip Gallery, where users were forbidden from revealing their identities.
Naturally, the fundamental rule of anonymity made no exception even for Big Sister Elosia.
In other words, she could not use Bullet-Type Magic or Bullet-Type Swordsmanship.
'Maybe Duke Agnail has a chance...?’
Because of that, even I could not easily predict the outcome of the duel in this Arena.
Unlike Big Sister, whose primary specialties were completely sealed, the Duke could freely display the strength he normally kept hidden. This place was practically his home ground.
'Hm?'
As I watched the twelfth Arena, which had finally begun, I let out a hollow laugh.
[12th Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery Arena]
Anonymous1: What is that person holding?
Anonymous2: Isn't that a pistol?
Anonymous3: LOL, did you really just say pistol?
The weapon Big Sister Elosia had chosen for the duel was an ordinary pistol, the sort one might find lying around a training ground.
Anonymous4: No need to watch any more, fuck.
Anonymous5: I knew it the moment they started acting like a newbie. Tch.
Firearms, which launched bullets using gunpowder.
Normally, they were weapons powerful enough to make someone surrender the instant they appeared, but that was not the case here.
A gun that merely launched a lump of metal was useless in a world full of magic and mystery.
Anonymous6: ??????
Anonymous7: What the fuck?
Anonymous8: What am I even looking at???
But that was only true when an ordinary person used one.
Anonymous9: Did she just send the bullet with mana infused into it???
Anonymous10: Holy shit, LOL.
Anonymous11: Wait, that was possible?
Big Sister Elosia was performing the absurd feat of infusing mana directly into the bullets she fired.
It sounded simple, but it was the height of inefficiency. She had to calculate the trajectory, speed, and timing of every bullet with complete precision.
Still, if successful, it was undeniably a technique capable of terrifying power.
'She hid her identity perfectly while still preserving her specialty.'
Amazingly, Big Sister Elosia was carrying it out repeatedly without making a single mistake.
Anonymous12: What the fuck is Noble-Bro1 doing right now?
Anonymous13: Why does that Magic Circle look so bizarre?
Anonymous14: I don't think I've ever seen that technique before...
But Duke Agnail was not someone who would obediently back down.
As expected of a master of intrigue, when he began to be pushed back by Big Sister Elosia, he revealed the forbidden technique he had concealed until the very end.
(Saintess of the Holy Church): I think that person has gone insane!
(Saintess of the Holy Church): That is Demon Summoning Magic!!!
(Saintess of the Holy Church): The Holy Church is on emergency alert now!!!
If it had not been Demon Summoning Magic, I would have applauded Duke Agnail in respect.
[Anonymous: (Scary story) Apparently, every duel held in some shady Gallery always has a hidden master show up. Holy shit.]
[Anonymous: Why are people with that kind of strength fighting over such pathetic subjects in a shitty shady Gallery...?]
[Anonymous: (Breaking news) All Holy Church paladins are gathering LOL.]
[Anonymous: The Empire is really doing great, huh? LOL.]
"Hmm..."
At this point, I could not simply stand by any longer.
'It is too dangerous.'
It was not because I was worried about Big Sister Elosia.
Demon Summoning Magic had far too much potential to break the fundamental rule of anonymity.

Author: Gossip Gallery Eraser
You know the weakness of Demon Summoning Magic.
If it is not stopped within ten minutes, the Holy Church will trace you.
Looking at the duel, it does not seem like it will end within ten minutes, so I will forcibly end it using my authority.
This Arena will be ruled a draw for both sides, and the users involved will be prohibited from dueling.
----------
When I, who had remained silent until then, intervened and forcibly stopped the Arena, the response was as follows.
Anonymous1: So what happens now?
Anonymous2: You fucking bitch, it was getting good, fuck.
Anonymous3: Gossip Gallery Eraser <<< Upvote if their sense of fun is dead LOL.
Anonymous4: Explainexplainexplainexplainexplainexplain
Anonymous5: Hmm... Is it time to run a slave Spam Bot...?
"Ugh."
If the young ladies, who were already fuming, rose up all at once, a second riot might break out.
[Gossip Gallery Eraser: Those involved in the 12th Arena, check this.]
In the end, I had no choice but to intervene in this absurd situation once again.
----------
[Title: Those involved in the 12th Arena, check this.]
Author: Gossip Gallery Eraser
Honestly, if you duel, it seems like you will fight all day and still not finish.
But since the Arena has opened, should we not see an ending?
So agree on another method of deciding this, not a duel, in this post.
Once you have agreed, notify the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery deputy mod and get things going again.
----------
'This should make them agree on a gentler method themselves...'
Having prompted them to reach an agreement without dueling, I yawned widely and lay down on my bed.
"Yaaawn..."
Maybe I had exercised too hard with this ridiculously weak body, because my eyes were beginning to close.
'I'm exhausted to death...'
Dopamine was nice and all, but I needed to rest before Lady Yurian came to visit soon.
[🔒Noble-Bro1: I propose this to Lady-Bro12.]
ㄴLady-Bro12: I accept the proposal, lol.
'They will handle it themselves.'
It seemed those two hopelessly doting users had successfully reached an agreement, so I should take a nap now.
* * *
Meanwhile, at a luxurious lodging not far from House Durgel's territory.
"Lady Yurian, thank you for visiting our lodging."
"...Fine."
"Please have a pleasant night..."
Lady Yurian, who had just arrived and lain down, waved dismissively at the trembling lodging manager and sent them away.
"......"
For a while, Lady Yurian sat still on the bed.
Then she hugged the bear doll in a blue cape that she had secretly hidden in her clothes and brought the Gallery up before her eyes.
[Notice: The 12th Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery Arena Has Resumed]
The situation she had been watching with cold sweat ever since boarding the carriage resumed at that very moment.
----------
[Notice: The 12th Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery Arena Has Resumed]
Author: NobleLadyGalleryDeputyMod1
Noble-Bro1 and Lady-Bro12 have reached an agreement.
After lengthy discussion among the moderators, we recognize their agreement and announce new rules.
If Elrod accepts the proposal, mentions of Yurian von Agnail will be permanently banned with no further Arena openings.
Conversely, if Elrod refuses the proposal, Noble-Bro1 will admit defeat, give up 100 boutique vouchers, and leave the Gallery.
We will begin now.
----------
However, there was one problem. The deputy mod's notice announcing the Arena's resumption was somewhat unfriendly.
Anonymous1: So what is the proposal?
Anonymous2: Why are you talking about something only you know?
Anonymous3: What is starting? LOL.
Anonymous4: Am I the only one who does not understand this?
Naturally, the young ladies who could not make sense of the notice began whispering in the comments and criticizing the moderators behind the mod badges.
"......"
But Lady Yurian alone was an exception.
"Why... Why go this far...?"
As the head mod of the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery, she could see the agreement between the two users that had been posted as a private post earlier.
----------
[🔒Title: I propose this to Lady-Bro12.]
Author: Noble-Bro1 (Duke Agnail)
Ultimately, the crux of this matter is the question of who is too good for whom between Elrod Durgel and Yurian von Agnail.
As the original creator of this Arena, I propose the following contest.
Without compromising anonymity in any way, I will threaten Elrod Durgel.
The threat will be as follows: when Lady Yurian visits the estate, he must put poison in her tea.
He will be threatened with death if he refuses. Of course, I promise that I will not actually take his life.
The poison is fake from the start, and I attach an Oath of Veracity that I will take no action that truly threatens Elrod's life.
(A photo has been attached.)
If Elrod is merely a scoundrel who intends to toy with Lady Yurian, he will naturally accept this proposal.
However, if he truly loves Lady Yurian, he will refuse the proposal like a man and stake his life on it.
If this new contest is accepted, we will be able to clearly determine who is too good for whom.
----------
'Just who is this person...?'
Lady Yurian had also guessed that Noble-Bro1 was no ordinary person.
But seeing him dare threaten an Imperial noble, she became certain.
'Is he someone like me...?'
The man who had made this chilling proposal was clearly someone who, like her, had set foot in the underworld.
[✪(Breaking news) Elrod is sleeping, so what exactly is starting?]
However, unlike Lady Yurian's worries, the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery, which had no way of knowing the details, was incredibly peaceful.
Anonymous1: My husband is sleeping ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Anonymous2: Crazy bitch, you are openly filming him without permission?
Anonymous3: Hi, House Durgel maid.
Anonymous4: You are done for, LOL.
A post by one brave maid of House Durgel, who had uploaded a photo of Elrod sleeping peacefully without knowing the situation, had made it to the featured posts.
"Tch..."
Of course, since the twelfth Arena had ended in a draw, the ban on mentioning Elrod and Lady Yurian had been temporarily lifted.
Troll Eraser: Banned for 24 hours at Warning Stack 1.
Troll Eraser: No matter how many maids there are in a count's household, do you not know this is still an identity reveal?
ㄴ(Author): I seriously did not know, fuck!!!
But thanks to a slash from Azrakan's fixed handle, which was sharp-eyed as always, the brave maid ultimately received one warning stack and a 24-hour ban.
"......"
Normally, Lady Yurian would have added a comment, but today she had no choice but to remain as quiet as a mouse.

At last, the method of the twelfth Arena, which everyone had been wondering about, was revealed through a post from an anonymous user.
----------
[(12th Arena) Commission in progress.]

I am writing this post according to a commission received from an anonymous requester.
I have infiltrated House Durgel and will carry out the requested matter exactly as instructed.

Anonymous2: Mods, aren't you deleting this?
Anonymous3: What kind of pathetic low-effort bait is this? LOL.

Naturally, when the post first appeared, no one believed it.

[✪(12th Arena) Interim Report.]
(A video has been attached.)
----------
But the situation changed dramatically from the moment the same user uploaded a short video recorded through the Gallery's functions.
Anonymous1: Fuck, was that what the proposal meant??????
Anonymous2: Shouldn't we report this even now?
Anonymous3: Empire's Shadow <<< That was a real organization, not just an urban legend?????
Anonymous4: Noble-Bro1 <<< What the fuck does this bastard even do?
Anonymous5: House Durgel maids, stop lurking and call the guards, you crazy bitches!!!!!!
"......"
Lady Yurian pondered for a long time as she looked at the terrifying reactions.
"Ugh..."
In the end, unable to resist the temptation, she moved her hand and played the video.
-Elrod Durgel.
-Who are you...?
-Put this poison in Lady Yurian's tea when she arrives tomorrow.
What Lady Yurian saw was Elrod Durgel, looking half-asleep with a dagger held to his neck by the person filming.
-What if I refuse...?
-Your life ends.
Lady Yurian's face instantly turned pale.
-Even if the mission is not carried out, you will die.
-It will not matter where you hide or whom you ask for help.
Lady Yurian knew the Empire's Shadow, the assassin organization operating in the Empire's underworld, all too well.
After all, she herself was one of its clients.
-But if you accept this proposal.
-I will grant you the authority to command the Empire's Shadow as your own.
That was why Lady Yurian could not help being shocked by the words that followed.
'Even if it is a commission, he can make the Empire's Shadow offer something like that?'
She had thought Noble-Bro1 was merely one of her maliciously devoted fans. She had never expected him to be such an incredible figure.
-What can you do for me...?
But as Lady Yurian's curiosity about his identity grew, she suddenly fell silent.
-What can I do if I accept your proposal?
Elrod, who now appeared somewhat more awake, asked with an expression full of curiosity in the video.
-It is simple. We will obey any command you give.
The filmer gave a chilling response.
-If you wish, you may kill anyone.
-You may also obtain anything you desire.
-We can even turn the person you want into a slave.
After breaking the silence that followed, the filmer added in a low voice.
-Even I am no exception.
Elrod's eyes gleamed the moment he heard those words.
-A concealed weapon that will carry out anything you wish.
-Is that not a dream come true for nobles?
Perhaps sensing that reaction, the filmer spoke even more softly, almost like a whisper.
[The video has ended.]
The video ended at that exact point.
"Ah..."
Lady Yurian, who had been watching with sweaty palms without realizing it, felt herself returning to reality and checked the Gallery again.
(Author): Reporting it will be useless.
(Author): I have already completed the mission and am returning.
Amazingly, the filmer appeared to have already completed the mission and escaped the count's estate, just as one would expect from a member of the Empire's Shadow.
[Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery]
[✪If you completed the mission, hurry up and share the video!!!!!!!!!]
[✪Filmer <<< Are they secretly enjoying the reactions? LOL.]
[✪Upvote if you cannot sleep because of this all-time dopamine rush LOL.]
[✪You did not kill my husband, right??????????]
[✪You crazy bitches, does the video matter when the situation is this serious??? (Actually, it probably does lol)]
Naturally, the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery was in an uproar, with new posts appearing at a rate unbelievable for the middle of the night.
[Anonymous: But honestly, if his life is on the line, is it not understandable if he accepts the proposal?]
[Anonymous: Protect Elrod ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Anonymous: But he looked tempted by the proposal earlier... I might be a little disappointed...]
[Anonymous: The filmer sounded like a girl. Do not tell me he already made her his slave? Lol.]
Naturally, no one believed that Elrod had refused the proposal.
It was understandable, since his life was at stake, but people often lacked sympathy when it was not their own problem.
[Anonymous: Elrod <<< I guess it is time to prepare to let him go...]
[Anonymous: If they say the mission is already complete and they are returning, it looks obvious that he accepted the proposal.]
[Anonymous: Do you not know what people like that are really like? Most of them only pretend to be innocent on the outside, LOL.]
[Anonymous: I am fucking excited to see what he said in the next video, LOL.]
As a result, public opinion of Elrod, which had almost always been favorable, was wavering for the first time.
(Author: Crown Prince Rudrick)
[Anonymous: I do not know much, but this will probably reveal his true colors. Lol.]
(Author: Crown Princess)
[NobleLadyGalleryDeputyMod1: Wake up, everyone. What Imperial noble would refuse a proposal like this? LOL.]
Of course, many of the people shaping that opinion were former Gallery Owners of the Noble Ladies Gallery, who had seized the opportunity to criticize Elrod already.
(Author): This is my first time getting this kind of attention. It is fascinating.
ㄴAnonymous1: POST THE FUCKING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴAnonymous2: Post it while I am asking nicely.
ㄴAnonymous3: I am telling you, they are doing this on purpose???
Meanwhile, the filmer wrote comments in a calm tone, as though unaware of the situation.
(Author): This is my first time meeting someone like him as well.
It was immediately after the filmer left that meaningful comment.

[✪(12th Arena) Results Report.]
(A video has been attached.)
----------
At last, the ending of the twelfth Arena, which everyone had awaited, was revealed to all.
"......"
For a while, the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery went silent.
"Haa..."
Of course, everyone had stopped posting to watch the video, but Lady Yurian, who had been lurking in the Gallery, had also closed it for a moment.
"...Fine."
How much time passed?
'No matter what I see, I will accept it.'
Despite her pale face, Lady Yurian forced a smile, then opened the Gallery again with a resolute expression.
'Even if his heart is black, there is nothing I can do about it.'
After repeatedly making that resolve in her heart, she clicked the video.
'There cannot be a man who sincerely loves a woman like me.'
But the next moment, Lady Yurian's eyes began to lose their light.
-So I put this in Lady Yurian's tea tomorrow?
In the video, Elrod took the poison offered by the filmer and inspected it with an interested expression.
-You have accepted the proposal.
-Well, it is not difficult.
The instant those words left his mouth.
Shiver...
Lady Yurian's body trembled without her realizing it, and tears welled up in her eyes.
-However.
Immediately afterward, Elrod's cold voice reached Lady Yurian's ears.
-That does not mean I will follow your orders.
The screen of the video shook the next moment.
"......!?"
Neither the filmer recording the video at an anonymous client's request, Lady Yurian watching it, nor even Duke Agnail, who had opened this chilling Arena, could have possibly expected what happened in the video.
-Khh...
Elrod Durgel, who had been observing the poison for a moment, suddenly swallowed it in one gulp.
-Did you swallow the poison yourself?
-Can you not see that?
-Why would you do that?
Elrod frowned for a moment, then responded to the filmer's question with an icy gaze.
-There is a simple reason.
Without even the slightest change in expression, he answered everyone watching the video in a low voice.
-Whether she is the Empire's worst villainess or a fallen young lady, there are no exceptions.
"......"
Lady Yurian stared blankly at Elrod in the video. The next instant, her pupils dilated without her realizing it.
-A person's life is precious, brat.
The next moment, Lady Yurian switched off the video without realizing it. She covered her mouth as her face turned redder than it had ever been before.
