[Party] This bastard is really back I–
‘No, damnit. Let’s calm down…...’
After erasing the profanity in the chat window with backspace, I let out a warm breath.
It was too early to be certain that Cotton Candy Fox was Yoo Chae, with just one connection.
Above all, if I were to question him while pissed, there was no way to take it back if I found out that he wasn’t Cotton Candy Fox.
“Ha……”
Now, everything fits like puzzle pieces. There’s no way they would take the Normal route on a party like this without any reason. It was all Cotton Candy Fox’s plan.
Unknowingly, I just joined the party and became the stupidest person in the world. Ah, so embarrasing. I’d rather join an official party recklessly and get kicked out than this.
‘Somehow, I thought I had too much luck.’
I should have been more suspicious though. No, I mean who would have imagined that he would stick to me even while using a sub-account? Certainly not me. I came to this party and all I got was useless– Wait……
“…Huge amount of experience?”
My forehead was horribly distorted at the answer that popped out involuntarily. Do you think that experience is important to you when you are being teased by that Chae bastard?… There was nothing that could be said to be the truth of the matter.
‘The experience was sweet.’
It was so sweet that I thought my tongue would melt. It was even more so because it had been a rough week and I was craving for more. What’s more important to a gamer other than experience in this type of RPG game?
“Fuck you bastard, damn it...”
If you’re going to deceive me by bringing a sub-account, then do it right. That way I can enjoy a happy game life without feeling guilty. That way, Yoo Chae bastard wouldn’t do anything strange other than playing games either!
After covering my face with both hands and muttering curses for a long time, I began to think seriously.
First, I should probably leave the party. Should I just close my eyes and get rid of it, pretending not to know? After all, that bastard is an idiot and I am the innocent victim, right? Even if I refused this time, there was no guarantee that that Yoo Chae bastard would give up.
“......”
I leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the ceiling. Actually, there was something else I was curious about.
Yoo Chae, what the hell does this guy want from me? Why is he helping me complete Raid dungeons by bringing a sub-account? I should have said it in a message last time. If I see your username in my eyes just one more time, I’ll block it right away.
Recalling that, I raised one corner of my mouth and smiled crookedly.
‘Well, looking at it, I didn’t see the username Yoo Chae.’
It’s Cotton Candy Fox, not Yoo Chae, so that’s a problem. Even calling me ‘Oppa' like that……
“Uh?”
At that moment, an amazing thought flashed through my mind like a lightning bolt. I touched my lips and tilted my head.
This is… If I do well, I might even get a raid dungeon and feed that Yoo Chae bastard a shot of his own crap, right?
I calmly considered various things and smiled deeply. After I straightened my stretched body, I immediately put my hand over the mouse.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Are you still there? ㅜ.ㅜ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Why are you taking so long to answer??
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ?
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: It’s really not a big deal omg
[Party] Let’s go Witcher: ??
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa??
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Knock Knock
[Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Un, how are you?
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Did it go like that??
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: He’s not answering
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅜㅅㅜ...
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅜㅜ.....
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅜㅡㅜ
[Party] Suwon Special City: How long have we been here?;
[Party] Let’s go Witcher: I think we’re gonna lose him in the first round
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: yeah I also wanna know when he’ll going to come back
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㄴwaiting
The last chat about waiting for me gave me chills. The character of Cotton Candy Fox, which used to look pretty cute, now felt like a sly nine-tailed fox that wanted to prey on my liver.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Sori Sori
[Party] I’m Sleepy: an urgent phone call suddenly came up
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s okay!!
As I chatted, Cotton Candy Fox, who had been standing still, responded back and forth. I put up the soymilk that I received from What Do You Soy Milk earlier on the transaction window that is still on.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: I said thank you for this
[Party] I’m Sleepy: soy milk
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ho~
[Party] Let’s go Witcher: What is it?
[Party] Let’s go Witcher: You threw trash at the benefactor who saved you;;
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: what do you mean trashㅡㅡ
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I made it myself^^ haha
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: It’s Sleepy-nim’s now haha
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ? ㅋㅋ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy-oppa~
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: can I have soymilk? ㅜㅡㅜ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: How about a trade with this fox?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: okay
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ahh, that’s too sad
After trading the soy milk, I received a pair of shoes and a magic resistance bracelet and immediately wore the items.
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim, you’ve lost a lot of moneyㅡㅡ
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: By trading the soymilk
[Party] Suwon Special City: Fox took it just because of
[Party] Suwon Special City: wanting to drink it ㅋㅋ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ?
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Just now, I exchanged itㅋㅋ
[Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Ah, Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: That’s funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I stared intently at the party chatting window. Seeing how they fit together so well, they must all be members of the Early Evening guild.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: So
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Oppa, are you going to keep playing with us??ㅇㅡㅇ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Since you received my gifts!!^.^
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Can you add me as your friend~?
Cotton Candy Fox sent me a friend request before I even answered. There was a sense of urgency in that action.
<Cotton Candy Fox has sent you a Friend Request. Do you agree? [Confirm/Reject]>
I hit the Confirm button and hit chat.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Of course It was good for me haha
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Nice to meet you.
As soon as I accepted the offer, Cotton Candy Fox burst forth with a happy emoji. Seeing that, I laughed wickedly like a villain.
‘Yeah, enjoy it as much as you like.’
Because I’ll make you regret starting to do things like being a Netkama carelessly.

(Drink some water’s POV)
After three days of arduous work, I found a decent newbie in the user cafe for Zenoris while humming and connecting to [Drink some water] account.
[Guild] Drink some water: Hey Yoo Chae
No matter how much he told me to do whatever I wanted, the guild master was definitely Yoo Chae. So, after waiting for a long time as Drink some water, which is me, called for Yoo Chae to make a brief report, but there was still no answer, so I started chatting.
[Guild] Drink some water: ??
[Guild] Drink some water: I’m online right now
[Guild] Drink some water: Not here yet?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: no no
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma-nim is in the arena right now
[Guild] Mocha Bread: The kids seems to have left the Guild chat to watch the arenaㅋㅋ
[Guild] Drink some water: Arena??
The arena was a battlefield where users gathered together to fight in a large area that could only be accessed by purchasing a separate coin.
It was also the only place where you could enjoy PVP without hassle since it’s a system that can attack or receive anyone from the moment you enter.
[Guild] Drink some water: Why suddenly the arena?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: because it gave him a good feeling
[Guild] Monster born from capitalism: yeah He went there to relieve stress..
[Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: The kids must be fucking dead by now
[Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Poor kidsㅠ
[Guild] Harn: Lord-nim
[Guild] Harn: Another 100 people have passed away…
[Guild] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋFk I should go too;
[Guild] Drink some water: did something happen?
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Um
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: It’s a bit long to explain
[Guild] Drink some water: ??
[Guild] Drink some water: it’s okay, please do so
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: so what actually happened is…
Park Seung-jin99 began to slowly talk about everything he had seen through the Suwon Special City account.

The time was two days ago, that is, a day had passed since Sleepy-nim accepted Cotton Candy Fox’s proposal and formed a long-term raid party.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Kya, Sleepy Oppa>ㅅ<~~!!
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Welcome~!!♥
[Party] I’m Sleepy: hi
[Party] Suwon Special City: hi hi~
[Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Hai
[Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Welcome
[Party] What Do You Soymilk: Let’s start quickly let’s go let’s go
The start of the raid was very ordinary, no different from the first day.
Yoo-Chae wore his Cotton Candy Fox mask like a natural and poured out her aegyo that was honestly burdensome to look at, and just like before, was unrepentant about it.
That was until the raid had ended without much difficulties.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Fox-nim
[Party] I’m Sleepy: I think I can talk more comfortably with you now
[Party] I’m Sleepy: is it okay?
Cotton Candy Fox jumped over the unexpected chat. It was understandable to some extent. It’s probably because I’m Sleepy-nim, who kept pushing him away?
Yoo Chae, who was one of the seniors who took in guild members and turned them into dope slaves, helped me to level up. It was only natural to turn around when the person he liked so much reciprocated.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Of course! Of course!!
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s totally fine ㅇㅅㅇ!!!
[Party] I’m Sleepy: okok
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅠㅡㅠ♥♥♥♥
But the operation will start here. I’m Sleepy-nim will have to look obsessed with her, so starting now, I’ll be adding the word “Oppa” in every chat to refer to myself.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Oppa will do it for you^^
[Party] I’m Sleepy: How was your oppa just now? Did I do well?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Oppa thinks you’re very pretty as a woman ha
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Oppa now knows haha who the person behind fox is~
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ……
