I continued hunting even after the frog.
The new continent was filled with special monsters that I had never seen before, so it wasn’t that boring.
Thanks to that, I’m currently level 39.
Considering that hunting hundreds of subordinate monsters doesn’t raise my level, it seems that taking down the bosses really helped.
Of course, at my current level, it’s completely normal that I shouldn’t be able to take them down or that my stamina should have long run out, but as a celestial-human hybrid, I was able to manage.
[I’ve gained a lot today]
[Looks like I might be changing classes soon?]
[Wow, I leveled up seven times in just one day, hahaha]
[The broadcast was worthwhile]
[For real, lol]
[What should I do now?]
[At level 40, I can undergo a second class change]
[Let’s switch it up, go go go go go]
[I’ve just been hunting all day, and it’s so much fun, hahaha]
[I agree]
[It’s more fun than chatting]
[Open donations]
“Today, everyone has worked hard. I’ll keep the donations open for a bit.”
Currently, it was 10 o’clock.
I had turned it on around 2 or 3, so I had been hunting for about seven hours straight.
Even though I was fine with that, it might have been a bit boring for the viewers, but judging by the chat, it didn’t seem like anyone was feeling that way.
Maybe it’s because so many things have happened lately.
I think it’s okay for today to pass by normally.
…Or so I thought.
[Lord Leo donated 1,000,000 won.]
─Would it be possible to chat for a moment?
Before I got that million won donation.

Leo.
The only one among the four attribute spirits in the server and ranked second in the rank wars.
At level 87, he’s not a pro, but he’s one of the rankers that even pros tend to avoid.
For Leo, there has been something bothering him for a few days now.
‘How did they get the blessing of the higher spirit?’
Just recently, Yena and Lily encountered the high-level spirit Nerindia and received the spirit’s blessing.
Leo, who had been interested in Lily’s skills and looks for a while, had started watching her broadcasts instead of going hunting or doing activities.
Up until that point, it was pure fandom, and he kept watching because her skills were on par with the pros, but after she received the blessing, his perspective changed.
How on earth did she do it?
Leo had encountered countless spirits.
From spirits in crisis to playful spirits, strong spirits, dying spirits, and even higher-level spirits that were superior to the upper spirits.
Despite facing many spirits and experiencing various situations, he had never managed to extract a blessing from a higher spirit.
“What on earth did she do?”
After watching Lily’s broadcast, he tried to recreate a similar situation, but the results were nothing but pathetic rewards.
Everything.
I contemplated directly asking Lily, but she’s notorious for not engaging or communicating with anyone other than Yena, so I ended up just pacing anxiously.
At that moment, Leo learned through Black’s broadcast that Lily would be participating in a mock siege war.
The mock siege war. It’s an annual event held once before the main siege war, and Leo would also participate.
Leo and Lily were both going to the same siege war.
‘So that gives me something to talk about.’
“Uh, how much should I send?”
If I just send the minimum of ten thousand won, it seems like it’ll get overlooked.
But sending a hundred feels like I’m throwing my money around too freely.
A hundred thousand won? But isn’t that kind of awkward? She is a ranker after all.
‘Ah, whatever.’
In the end, Leo charged a million won while watching Lily hunt diligently through the screen.
With this amount, she should at least be open to some questions.
With a small hand, Leo typed into the donation window and took a deep breath.
‘I hope I don’t look too juvenile.’
■
[Lord Leo donated 1,000,000 won.]
─ “Can I chat for a moment?”
A million won.
It’s the maximum amount I decided on, but even thinking about it again, it’s quite a lot.
A million won isn’t exactly pocket change, and it’s bound to cause an uproar.
[?]
[?]
[Leo? Is this the real Leo?]
[Lily got Raphael, and now Leo? LOL]
[Donating a million like it’s a thousand won.]
[Isn’t Leo participating in the mock siege too?]
[Leo is totally in.]
[Raphael sent a thousand, but he sends just a hundred? That’s a bit…]
[LOL for real.]
[Info: There was no maximum limit back then.]
Leo. I feel like I’ve heard that name before.
I looked at the chat window.
‘It’s the mock siege war.’
I remembered Black mentioning a nickname ‘Leo’ as an example of several famous streamers before.
It was something about being a Spirit Sorcerer, if I recall correctly.
“Oh, Lord Leo, thank you for the million won. You’re that ranker, right? Participating in the siege war.”
After a brief delay, a verification mark appeared in the chat window.
[◈Leo: That’s right.]
[Oh.]
[Spirit Sorcerer in the chat LOL.]
[Why is Leo suddenly interested in Lily?]
[Wait, what?]
[That’s crossing a line.]
[LOL.]
[Leo is adorable.]
[I want to hug Leo because of how compact he is.]
[?]
[Are these people insane? LOL.]
[Honestly, I agree.]
“I can answer questions. Is it a long story?”
I’m accustomed to the numerous requests for conversation.
Even excluding work-related topics, there were many people asking purely out of curiosity.
There were a lot of people.
I didn’t always coldly dismiss them, but I was always ready to cut off any conversation that crossed the line.
[◈Leo: This is almost a question… Can we meet for a bit? I have some things to ask about the spirit.]
“Um…”
Well, I guess it doesn’t matter?
I was already thinking about ending the broadcast anyway, and I’ve been getting a lot of comments about only hanging out with Yena.
Actually, while it’s true that I’m often with Yena, it’s not entirely correct.
I’m just doing this to repay her kindness since Yena is nice and easy to be around; it’s not that I’m distancing myself from others.
“Where should we meet?”
■
[So they’re really meeting, lol]
[Isn’t this the first collab without Yena?]
[Looking forward to it]
[Alright, let’s take a seat~]
[Ending part one of the hunting content right into part two collab]
[Today’s broadcast is super packed, lol]
[Related to the spirit; is it because of the blessing?]
[Seems like it]
[Is Leo finally starting a broadcast?]
[Taking a seat]
[I don’t think Leo will actually turn on the broadcast]
“Looks like Lord Leo is doing a broadcast too.”
It would take some time to meet Leo, who was on the other side of the continent.
Leo said he’d quickly arrive using the warp gate across the continent, so I just had to wait a moment.
‘…But can’t we just meet at the arena?’
[Not really turning it on]
[Sometimes?]
[Basically, I doubt it]
[He’s not a full-time streamer]
[Just a ranker; he’s had a lot of proposals from guilds and pro scenes, but he rejected them all and is making his own guild.]
[Leo is cute]
[For real, lol]
[He hardly streams unless it’s something special]
That’s what they said.
I also gathered various information about Leo through donations and chat.
A ranker that even professionals find hard to face, a summoner who handles spirits of four different attributes.
He’s close to a mage but can also fight up close like a battle mage.
He’s decked out with legendary-grade equipment, making him a versatile powerhouse…
“You’re really impressive.”
[That’s right]
[So the two positions for the mock siege war general are already secured, lol]
[Let’s have Lily as the general too]
[One spot left without Leo and Black]
[lololololol]
[Leo is just overpowered]
[Honestly, it’s more Lily than Choco]
[Lord Leo donated 50,000 won.]
─Arrived.
“I’ll come find you. Just a moment.”
After leaving the resting area in the city, which was worth 1 win per hour, I found Leo at the meeting place.
A small, cute something is bouncing over from the distant clearing.
With a height that might be around 150 centimeters and a petite face.
His dark blue hair is adorned with four colored bridges symbolizing the four attributes, and his outfit looks like a mage’s attire.
Finally, there are several spirits swirling around him.
His sparkling amber eyes add even more to her cuteness.
“Nice to meet you, no. Hello.”
“Hello. Lord Leo? Is that you?”
“Yes, yes.”
[Cute]
[OMG]
[It’s been a while since I saw Leo; he’s cuter now lol]
[Nymph penalty lolololol]
[But he’s way older than he looks…]
[Deoen is really scary; if he gets a penalty, he stutters even more lol]
[lolololol]
[Isn’t that just how it is when standing in front of Lily?]
“Um… yes. That’s right.”
Leo lets out a deep breath, clearly not matching his appearance with his reputation, but I nodded along, accustomed to it.
There are celestial beings who lived for over a thousand years but looked and acted like they were 7-8 years old.
‘This is pretty decent.’
“Shall we sit and talk for a moment?”
“Yes. That sounds good.”
“Then.”
In a clearing with not many people around.
I sat across from him on a bench and took some snacks out of my inventory to put on the table.
Deoen said if he doesn’t eat, he feels hunger, so he needs to eat periodically or get a skill that ignores hunger.
Leo shyly lowered his head at the sandwich he brought from the wobbling city.
So cute.
I took a bite of the sandwich.
It’s cheap food, about five fairy tales worth, but it’s really delicious.
A sandwich that has a sweet taste along with a refreshing hint from the vegetables.
Leo, too, seemed to enjoy it, moving his little mouth diligently and devouring half the sandwich.
[What are they doing?]
[Suddenly live streaming their food?]
[lolololol]
[Leo munching is super cute lol]
[For real]
[That’s why he has so many female fans]
[Isn’t Leo a girl?]
[That’s right, but he has many female fans]
[What if he turns out to actually be a guy? Like when he transforms into a nymph, he changes into a girl.]
[No way, right?]
“Cough!”
“Um, are you okay?”
“…Yeah, I’m totally fine.”
Almost spat it out.
