EP.1027 Part 3 Chapter 14
“Yuna, I need your help.”
Back in reality, I asked NaPantyBoraColor, my company-affiliated streamer, for assistance.
“We’re collecting Azidahaka-themed dak-sin using your account. It’s a contest.”
“A dak-sin contest? That’s… quite shocking.”
Yuna blinked with an awkward expression.
“The entries must be limited to Azidahaka, right?”
“That’s correct. And we’ll leave the inspection and awards to the staff over there.”
“So what’s our role?”
“Broadcasting it on Tera?”
“Indeed.”
We’ll gather videos of Reality Players having sex with Azidahaka and broadcast them onto Tera.
Naturally, since they’ll appear as Azidahaka, Agram citizens will surely react strongly.
“Once you fall into the trap of romantic-sex fantasy, there’s no way out. Everyone preparing for this contest will surely participate due to some twisted thoughts?”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Because they want to show off their own sex videos to you.”
“Woow…”
Though Yuna showed clear discomfort, there will definitely be participants joining for that exact reason.
Most will be filtered out by the moderation team, but these files filled with dark desires will transform into great power to eliminate the dark forces within Tera.
“It’s not like we’re streaming dak-sin live anyway, so there shouldn’t be much burden… right?”
“Yes, no problem. The main theme of the contest isn’t even about sex itself, but rather how one leads up to it.”
“Exactly.”
I’m not asking for flashy sexual techniques.
My database already has more than enough of those.
What I seek is data from love newbies or those who are clueless in relationships, or just starting to seriously dive into romance.
Just as games have endgame content, there’s also a phase where rookies or beginners adapt and grow.
That’s the kind of valuable data we can obtain through this contest.
Even if some use this opportunity to embarrass Yuna by showing her their sex scenes with Azidahaka, the potential positive data we can extract far outweighs the downsides.
“Yuna, will you help me?”
“Of course! I support Oppa’s plan. But… how about we do something extra?”
“How?”
“Let’s open the contest under three themes.”
“Three? Isn’t that a bit much?”
It might be tough, but since Yuna’s dedicated team at the company will handle most of the heavy lifting, it shouldn’t matter too much.
“What are they?”
“One scene focused on Azidahaka, another on Angu, and…”
Ssshhhh.
Yuna turned her hair and eyes pitch black.
“A date scene with Angu synchronized with Yuinah.”
“…As expected, Yuna is a genius.”
For the Azidahaka theme: experienced older sister-type women.
For the Angu theme: shy, socially awkward girls.
And for the dark-attribute perfect Yuna: Haraguro Yuna.
Wait, not Haraguro?
The original Yuna is…
“How do you feel about it?”
“I think it’s good.”
“Right? Hehe.”
Yuna began drafting a brief proposal while tapping on her keyboard.
I discussed the contents to include in the proposal with her as we ramped up preparations for the ‘Magical Gear’ release.
“But, Oppa, how do you plan to upload this?”
“Hmm?”
“Even if our dates with you are part of an extended storyline, this feels all over the place.”
“There’s a way for that.”
I pulled out my smartphone and pointed at a certain app.
As soon as Yuna saw it, her eyes widened in surprise, and I lightly kissed her cheek.
“Magical Flicks. All the Magical Magic videos submitted to the contest will be uploaded here as short clips.”
“…Oppa, that’s actually a great idea.”
Yuna kissed my cheek and smiled sweetly.
“In that case, shall we film a documentary about making babies?”
“Hold on, Yuna!”
“Now, first, make the man’s…you know…stand up…”
MagicMagic.

Somewhere in Korea.
An island officially designated as off-limits, where a woman dressed in black hanbok quietly looked up at the sky with her eyes closed.
The woman sat silently alone on the sandy beach, particularly near a spot glowing faintly with green light, as if mourning the dead.
“……”
The night sky above remained peaceful as always.
The shattered moon had been recreated by divine power and now shimmered brightly once more, restoring peace to the world.
But the person who survived in this peaceful world—the one who made their country strong—is no longer here.
He vanished suddenly, leaving behind only fragments of what he left.
“10th Unit.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Were there any special moves from the President?”
“No.”
“…There will be. Definitely. He’s undoubtedly up to something sneaky, keeping information to himself.”
Baek Hee-a bit her lower lip.
“While I’m busy with state affairs, he’s probably teaming up with Professor Yun Yuhwa and Hikari to track down that person’s trail.”
“……I don’t know much about that.”
“You have your own reasons and position, I understand. You contributed greatly to creating homunculi alongside Yun Yuhwa and Hikari. But if you’re someone meant for me, please tell me at least a little for my sake.”
“……I would like to tell you everything I know for your sake, Miss. But…”
10th Unit shook his head with a bitter expression.
“The information given to me has this aspect completely blocked. If I find out anything, I’ll let you know right away. Absolutely.”
“Thank you. Truly.”
Baek Hee-a turned her head.
The wind stirred her hair, and her black tresses, which had grown to her shoulders, fluttered across her face.
“…Bad person, really.”
Perhaps the wind didn’t want to see her melancholy expression.
“I prepared this island especially for you, but you’re not even here.”
“Miss.”
“…I changed the laws, did everything possible.”
“Urgent contact. It’s Yu-Sung.”
“Connect him.”
Baek Hee-a immediately switched expressions.
Cold and calculating, she tapped on her magical gear and was slightly startled by the golden figure appearing on the video call.
“President?”
[VIP, do you happen to have Nori with you?]
“Nori?”
Baek Hee-a knows Kim Nori well.
When she was pondering who to synchronize with the dark spirit Angu, though Baek Hee-a was second in line, Kim Nori willingly stepped aside, and since then, Baek Hee-a has become quite close to her.
Though they differ greatly in age, they share a good connection as friends.
…Someone might say “loners without friends sticking together…”
“It’s said they became best friends because of some misunderstanding, but that is absolutely NOT the truth. It’s all a conspiracy—a smear campaign against an innocent being! Sure, Baek Hee-a and I are close, and we do keep in touch frequently… but—”
“Yun Yuhwa isn’t with you right now, is she? Is something wrong with Nori?”
[Nuri’s Magical Gear isn’t responding.]
“…What do you mean?”
[Suddenly disappeared. Just like Harang and Yuna did.]
“……”
Baek Hee-a felt her breath catch.
-Where is Seok Harang right now?
-Where has Yuinah gone?
-What do you think about the disappearance of these two goddesses?
She heard this story dozens of times every day. Whenever she communicated with other leaders, there were always unofficial inquiries about their whereabouts. And each time, Baek Hee-a had no choice but to reply honestly:
I don’t know!
And it was true—she really didn’t.
One day, without warning, they vanished. Even if she were Baek Hee-a, how could she possibly track them down?
She wondered if other executives might have clues to their location—but alas, even the higher-ups had no idea where they’d gone.
“By any chance, has anyone else besides Nori gone missing? Maybe someone close to her?”
[There is one person who hasn’t responded recently.]
Yun Yuhwa took a pale-faced photo of someone.
[Black Flame Dragon is also gone. Both disappeared at the same time.]
“……”
Both vanished simultaneously.
So the possibilities…
“First off, eloping is out of the question.”
[Right?]
“Then…could it be like what happened to Harang and Yuna?”
[Nori too?]
“You never know. Maybe while we weren’t paying attention—”
[But she’s still in middle school!]
“……”
Baek Hee-a, being an adult, saw no need to change the rules.
“…We should look into this. Chairman, can we produce around 2000 S-Rank Cores?”
[If we try, we can. But why do you need them?]
“…A little while ago, we received a message from the Middle East. They found ‘that thing’ and asked if we wanted to trade for it. Perhaps using its power will help us locate Nori more easily.”
[That makes sense.]
“Let Hikari analyze it. With the Cube’s power borrowed…”
Baek Hee-a clenched her fist tightly.
“…we’ll definitely find Nori.”
Magical Gear.
The personal contact stored in her phone—the only truly ‘unique’ friend she could confide in.
Kim Nori.
Even though their synchronization was broken…
“I’ll try contacting Angu once more.”
Still, as a Spirit, her powers remained intact.
* * *
At that moment, somewhere in Tera.
“……”
A neatly dressed maiden quickly looked around.
“Wh-what is this place?”
All around her were towering trees covered in lush greenery. Trees unlike anything she’d ever seen before, reaching skyward far taller than Metasequoias, creating an environment that seemed alien to Earth.
“Whoa.”
At first, she was startled.
But as a high-ranking officer of the Blue Wind Sect, she calmly invoked her magic power.
“My strength still seems to be intact…”
Fortunately, her Magic Power hadn’t faded.
The real problem? Her Magical Gear was completely dead.
“How could it not be picking up satellite signals…?”
Thanks to Professor Hikari’s moon-based satellites, humanity had achieved global internet access through Magical Gears anytime, anywhere.
Yet, no signal?
No internet?
This was a serious issue.
“……Could it be…”
Nori recalled a novel Baek Hee-a recommended to her not long ago.
“……Did I accidentally get transported to another world?”
