◈ I Unleashed a Gossip Gallery in Another World ◈
Chapter 45: The End of the Tea Party
──────
“Yurian.”
“...”
“What have you been doing... all this time?”
Honestly, even when Lady Yurian dragged me into her room, I thought it was all over.
“...”
But even after about thirty minutes had passed, nothing I expected had happened.
‘It’s scarier because she isn’t saying anything, fuck.’
After seating me on her bed and staring blankly at me for a while, Lady Yurian had gone to sit on the chair by the vanity opposite me and remained silent ever since.
“And what exactly is this magical tool strapped to my arm...?”
“...Wait.”
“Wait for what, exactly...?”
All while I had this highly suspicious magical tool with a complicated structure fastened around my arm.
“Did I not tell you to wait?”
Having sat on the bed in tense silence for so long, I eventually got bored and opened the Gallery.
[✪Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: It’s an emergency. Need help.]
What greeted me was the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery, burning hot in the early dawn thanks to a single featured post.
----------
[Title: It’s an emergency. Need help.]
Author: Noble Lady Gallery Eraser
I brought a man into my room.
He’s sitting on my bed right now.
What am I supposed to do from here?
[Comments: 38]
Anonymous1: Sis, are you seriously doing this on purpose?
Anonymous2: Just pounce on him already, you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous3: This is the first time I’ve seen a bitch standing right before the finish line asking, “How do I cross it?” lol
Anonymous4: Are you seriously asking this?
Anonymous5: Fuck, I’m so pissed off this early in the morning I could die....
----------
As I blankly scrolled down for a while, I quietly turned my eyes toward the lady.
Anonymous7: Lie down beside him and roll around too, you fucking bitch;;;
ㄴ(Author): I mean, how do I do that?
ㄴAnonymous8: Gritgritgritgritgritgrit
ㄴAnonymous9: Why is this bitch suddenly cosplaying the Saintess?
ㄴAnonymous10: This is so fucking funny lol
Lady Yurian, seated before the vanity with its mirror moved aside, still said nothing.
Noble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: Since the man must like you too if he held your hand and entered your room with you, you can just hug him.^^
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: I dragged him in by force....
ㄴAnonymous15: This is seriously fucking insane!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴAnonymous16: lol
ㄴAnonymous17: Fucking lol, I never could have imagined this lol
But on closer inspection, I saw that her body jerked every time a new comment appeared.
Noble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: If you could drag this young lord in by force, then his status must be below yours, correct? ^^
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: That’s right.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: Then there is a high chance there will be no repercussions even if you do as you please, so hug him.^^
And after some time passed...
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: What if he hates me after that...?
ㄴAnonymous20: Lmao
ㄴAnonymous21: You dragged him here by force, and now you’re saying, “What if he hates me?” Sis, are you actually an idiot!?!?!?
ㄴAnonymous22: Eraser sis is fucking hilarious lol
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: Hey, you fucking bitch. Take off your rank insignia and fight me.
As Lady Yurian’s head drooped helplessly while she trembled in her chair, I wore a dumbfounded expression and hit back.
[Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery]
[✪(Shocking-Horrifying-Bizarre) There’s a kind psycho bitch who forcibly brought a lower-status man into her room, then left him there for neglect play!?!?]
[✪Noble Lady Gallery Eraser <<< Upvote if you think she deserves to be head mod for life in the name of the Empire’s lasting peace lol]
[✪What do you think he’s thinking after being dragged here by force while she’s just shitposting beside him? lol]
[✪Upvote if you think she’s this year’s biggest idiot in the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery lol]
[✪WhAt iF hE hAtEs mE~? lol]
The Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery was already filled with posts viciously mocking its idiot head mod.
[Anonymous: But is this really okay? What if he lurks in these posts later? Aren’t you fucked, sis?]
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: It’s fine.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: I put a magical tool on him so he can’t see the Gallery.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: And I’ll wipe all the posts later and mention-ban him, so it doesn’t matter hehe
Only then did I realize what the magical tool around my arm was.
Anonymous2: Noble Lady Gallery Eraser <<< Who even is this bitch? lol
Anonymous3: Aren’t magical tools that block someone from the Gallery forbidden because they require black magic? She’s out of her mind lol
Anonymous4: Why does this evil psycho bitch, who makes even Lady Yurian look tame, turn into an idiot whenever men come up.... (Seriously asking)
‘So this... was a black magic tool.’
She was using an illegal magical tool, only permitted in limited cases for criminals given the harshest sentences, for something as trivial as this.
She truly was the Empire’s strongest and worst villainess.
Of course, it was useless against me, since the Saintess’s Blessing still remained in my body.
[Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: You fucking bitches, hurry up and give me ideas.]
ㄴAnonymous1: Just hold hands and go to sleep.
ㄴ(Author): I don’t want that....
ㄴAnonymous2: Then what the fuck do you want? lol
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: Can’t you guys ban the head mod?
ㄴAnonymous3: The guy seems to hate it too, so just let him go lol
Naturally, Lady Yurian had no way of knowing that. Believing I could not check the Gallery, she was busily frustrating the noble ladies in the Gossip Gallery.
[Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: But we have kissed before.]
ㄴAnonymous1: This is fucking insane!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴAnonymous2: What kind of dating life are you even having?

“...”
Watching that pathetic sight for a moment, I shook my head and tried to rise.
‘First, I should clear up the misunderstanding.’
I had been reading the room until now, but at this point, I intended to talk things through.
“...Hm?”
Then something caught on my foot.
“What’s this...?”
When I looked down, I realized I had bumped into something beneath the bed while getting up. Curious, I reached for it.
“Ah!”
“...!”
“D-Don’t look at that!”
Lady Yurian, who had been sitting silently for over thirty minutes, sprang out of her chair at that very moment.
“Gah!”
She rushed to the bed, her face pale, and threw herself over me.
“...Ah.”
But as we fell onto the bed together, I had already taken out the thing hidden beneath it.
“Th-That teddy bear is very cute.”
“...”
“H-Haha...”
In my hand was a cute teddy bear wearing a cape with an extremely familiar design.
“Is it... something like a comfort plushie?”
The teddy bear carried a strong scent of Lady Yurian’s perfume, as though she hugged it to sleep every night.
Heave, heave...
Lady Yurian stared blankly at the teddy bear, then buried her face in my chest and began trembling.
“Today...”
“...”
“Today is the worst day ever...”
Her tearful voice reached my ears.
“Yurian.”
After considering it for a moment, I carefully patted her back and spoke.
“What happened with Sir Ciel... was a misunderstanding.”
“...?”
“I’ll take the Oath of Veracity.”
Lady Yurian immediately lifted her head.
“Sir Ciel and I aren’t dating.”
“...”
“The kiss... was an accident.”
And around then, I realized something.
“...I suppose Ciel confessed to you?”
Lady Yurian was not crying at all.
“So you were forced into it one-sidedly, as expected.”
“Haha...”
“Anyway, this is why knights are...”
Seeing the cold smile on her face, it seemed I had fallen for her act again.
“Sir Elrod.”
“Yes.”
“There really are too many flies around you...”
Then, Lady Yurian, who was lying atop me, grabbed my arm.
“And that is partly your fault.”
“...?”
“Isn’t it?”
She brought her face so close it nearly touched mine and began whispering in a low voice.
“Flies gather because you give off such a sweet scent.”
The next moment.
Slide...
She interlaced her fingers with mine and pressed her body even more firmly against me.
“It’s your fault, Elrod.”
“...”
“You think so too, don’t you?”
And after some time had passed...
Smack...
She gently pressed her lips to my nape, then carefully withdrew.
“...Still, you are fortunate.”
Lady Yurian returned to her usual lofty expression and began straightening her clothes.
“I’m not a woman like those flies.”
Turning her back to me again, she muttered.
“I have no intention of taking you when you do not want it.”
“Haha...”
“If I did that, you would hate me...”
Lady Yurian’s shoulders trembled slightly.
“If you hated me too, I would truly become alone in this world.”
She quietly turned her head, looked into my eyes, and finished.
“...From then on, I would lose my reason to live again.”
Silence followed.
“So... I’ll leave it at this for today.”
“...”
“I should be satisfied knowing there is no woman you are seeing.”
In the silence, Lady Yurian shrugged as though she were neatly giving up.
Whoosh!
But the next moment, just as I cautiously tried to get up, she suddenly pressed herself against me again.
“But...”
“...?”
“Wouldn’t it be a shame to end things like this?”
Her lips curled slightly upward.
“Elrod.”
“...Yes.”
Sweating coldly as I wondered what she would demand, I listened.
“Let’s take just one picture.”
“Pardon?”
“It’s nothing much... Just for me to keep.”
Then Lady Yurian suddenly began unfastening the buttons of her clothes, and I turned away in shock.
“W-What are you doing?”
“Changing clothes.”
“But why...?”
At that moment, she lightly stroked my shoulder as though tickling it.
“I’m not going to eat you today, so relax.”
“No, but why are you changing clothes...?”
“Because... it is a concept photo.”
And after some time had passed...
“Elrod Durgel.”
Now dressed in light sleepwear, she lay behind me, embraced my back, and whispered in my ear.
“Bite me.”
“Pardon?”
“Come on, hurry...”
She bared her white nape completely and spoke with her face flushed red.
“It is the command of a ducal lady...”
I would rather not recall what happened afterward.
* * *
Creak...
When I left Lady Yurian’s room again, dawn was already coming to an end.
“Then, farewell, Sir Elrod.”
“...All right.”
“Do not forget the warning I gave you today.”
As I sighed and started walking, Lady Yurian’s voice from behind made me pause.
“After rejecting my confession, if you fool around with another bitch...”
Lady Yurian, peeking through the gap in the door, spoke with a chilling smile.
“I will show you exactly what I am capable of.”
With those words, the door to her room closed.
‘I almost fucking died.’
About one minute later, I finally began walking down the corridor with my exhausted body.
“Are you Elrod Durgel?”
“...!”
“This is the first time I have seen you with my own eyes.”
But before I had even taken many steps, someone blocked my path and stopped me in my tracks.
“D-Duke.”
Duke Agnail stood before me, expressionless.
“Th-This is... I mean...”
“...”
“H-How it happened was...”
Judging by the distance, he had undoubtedly seen me emerge from Lady Yurian’s room.
“It is late.”
“...”
“Return to your lodging.”
But as I was about to offer an excuse out of guilt, the Duke merely left those words behind and walked past me.
“...Elrod.”
Then he slightly turned his head.
“I am letting this pass because you are the benefactor who saved my daughter.”
The Duke’s eyes flashed red for an instant. It could not have been my imagination.
‘Your daughter was the one who dragged me in by force...’
I had no choice but to swallow the words that had risen to my throat.
“Phew...”
In any case, the tea party was over.
‘I’m never coming back.’
The sun was about to rise, so I intended to hire a carriage and return to the count’s estate.
[You have a call bell notification!]
As I hurried along with that thought in mind, a keyword alert suddenly appeared before my eyes.
“Haha.”
At the same time, I stopped walking with a hollow laugh upon seeing the title of the post before me.
[🔒Swordsman Gallery Eraser: Noble Lady Gallery Eraser, you fucking bitch. Duel me.]
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: Why would I? Hehe
ㄴMage Gallery Eraser: Fuck off lol
ㄴOther Races Gallery Eraser: What are you sisters doing?
ㄴTroll Eraser: What pathetic women....
“What the hell is this now?”
* * *
About five minutes before Elrod stopped after seeing that absurd post.
“...”
Ciel had returned to the Knight Order and was seated in the barracks, her eyes red and bloodshot as she lurked in the Gossip Gallery.
[Swordsman Gossip Gallery]
[Anonymous: Elrod <<< What the fuck is this guy??????]
[Anonymous: Penelope <<< Is it true she got wrecked by Elrod?]
[Anonymous: Awakened Elrod > Eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house lol]
[Anonymous: Was the Ciel-style sword form really that strong?]
[Anonymous: They were really master and disciple, not dating!?]
Around then, posts about her disciple were spreading through the Swordsman Gossip Gallery in real time.
But Ciel was not looking at the Swordsman Gossip Gallery, which she always kept up with.
[Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: I’ll start clearing posts about it in ten minutes.]
ㄴAnonymous1: So what happened? lol
ㄴAnonymous2: She probably just let him go lol
ㄴAnonymous3: Congrats on becoming this year’s worst idiot in the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery
What she had stayed up all night watching was the discussion in the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery that had just ended.
“Haha...”
[🔒Church Gallery Eraser: What happened there?]
Ciel blinked her bloodshot eyes, spotted a post by Church Gallery Eraser, who was lurking in the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery for what seemed to be a similar reason, and forced a smile as she moved her fingers.
[🔒Church Gallery Eraser: What happened there?]
ㄴSwordsman Gallery Eraser: She definitely got rejected, right? Hehe
ㄴSwordsman Gallery Eraser: Judging by it, she probably sent him away without even holding his hand, let alone kissing him, and is crying right now lol
ㄴChurch Gallery Eraser: Exactly!
But the next moment, Ciel’s expression froze.
[A new guestbook entry has been posted to your Gallery Log!]
It was because of a single picture posted to her Gallery Log.
