[Crab King’s Beach – Cleared the History of the Crab Empire.]
[Acquired 30 gold coins and the Crab Empire Knight’s Badge.]
[With the badge, the favorability of Crab-related races increases by 50.]
With the Emperor’s final comment, the dungeon was cleared.
After that, the danger of Karabus was repeatedly mentioned, but he fails to be a threat to me.
I probably know more about him than about Karabus, including his weaknesses.
‘Or not?’
Considering that I didn’t know he had descendants, it seems like a no.
Or maybe Karabus’s soul created something resembling himself.
Perhaps he was trying to break the seal that had been left unattended without a master for a long time using that body.
Whatever it is, there’s no need to worry about it right now.
[Reward!]
[Give me my reward!]
[It can’t be that this is all, right?]
Ding!
[Additionally, you can take the loot obtained in the dungeon in point format.]
[Points vary according to dungeon progress and achievements.]
[Current points: 150,200.]
150,000 points.
I’m not sure if that’s a lot or a little.
“Is 150,000 a lot?”
[Yes, yes, yes]
[Yeah!]
[Oh, 150,000]
[Usually, when you clear a choice-type story dungeon, you get around 70-80 thousand; if you fail midway, it’s about 30,000?]
[Lily really went crazy in her playing, haha.]
[User who eats crab while doing crab, Lily might be the first, haha.]
[Crab, haha.]
[Let’s sweep all the artifacts!]
As soon as the message confirming I earned points vanished, points started popping up for each item.
The claw of a small crab is worth 200 points.
‘Water Rising Clam’ is 5,000 points.
‘Twice Reviving Pearl (one destroyed)’ is 20,000 points.
Looking at the other items, the good performing ones are around 10,000 to 30,000 points.
That’s pretty decent.
“Oooh… With this, I can take quite a bit—”
‘Big Crab Hammer’ – 140,000 points.
?
[?]
[Why is the hammer’s points like that?]
[140,000?]
[That’s a bit much.]
[It’s neither legendary nor rare, what the hell, haha.]
[Looks like I need to give up.]
[Seriously, wouldn’t breaking the seal yield a legendary item?]
[Lily really liked that one, what to do?]
[It’s more beneficial to leave with four or five artifacts than that; let’s just give up on the hammer, go go.]
[Let’s ask Yena for the hammer, haha.]
140,000 points.
What a greedy little creature.
‘Yena hasn’t changed her mind about it, even now.’
This hammer definitely lacks distinction right now.
It’s not even special or effective; it’s just a strong and sturdy weapon.
It makes no sense to give up rare artifacts for a sealed weapon when we don’t even know how to break it or what will come out.
It doesn’t make sense to give up precious artifacts for a sealed weapon that we don’t even know what will come out of it.
“If I’m not Lily…”
If I didn’t recognize the true value of this hammer, I would have made a different choice, but now it’s different.
[You have chosen the Big Crab Hammer.]
[Remaining points: 10,200.]
Boom!
There’s no reason not to choose it.
“I like this one.”
[?]
[Wait, are you giving up all the artifacts?]
[Hmm… I don’t know.]
[Hahahahahaha]
[Lily’s gone wild over the hammer hammer.]
[Everything will be according to Lily’s will…]
[Breaking the seal will be a piece of cake.]
[The problem is, I don’t know how to break it haha.]
[You’re a spearman, so you should just take a spear instead.]
[Agreed.]
“And… these two claws.”
[You have chosen the Second Prince, Crabcrows’ Claws x2.]
[Remaining points: 2,200.]
I cut off the price for poisoning, so if I can’t take them, that’s a loss.
Even if they’re a bit pricey, I need to take them.
[Hahahahahahahaha]
[Let’s say we’re giving up the artifacts.]
[I was going to poison, but that’s a fair deal.]
[But why do those claws cost 4,000 points?]
[I feel like cooking with them would yield buff food or something.]
[There’s really nothing compared to what I did.]
[For real lol.]
[Since we’re at it, let’s grab some more crabs.]
“Should we do that?”
Fortunately, regular crabs and seafood are cheap in points.
I gathered more cooking ingredients and exited the dungeon.

After finishing the Crab Empire dungeon, I had a quick moment for collection… or rather, a talk, and then ended the broadcast.
It was already dark outside due to the long time spent.
Even at 3 AM, it seemed like this was their active time, as the editing team’s Discord chat was lit up.
All three are here.
Ding!
-Wow! Boss, boss, awesome, awesome, amazing event!
“What’s up?”
The excited White Autumn is back. What kind of event could it be this time?
“Is it something like last time, where you go ‘Wow, the boss is here at this hour, amazing event!’?”
-Oh, come on. Do you think I’d reuse that line again?
Hehehe. An evil laughter echoed in the Discord chat.
-But it really is an amazing event.
-Is it true?
Even both editors?
“What’s going on?”
-You know the video we uploaded, right? The mock siege war team selection.
Ah, that was earlier today.
Having spent so long in the Crab Empire, even a day ago feels like a distant past.
But did they upload that in less than a day?
“How long did you edit that in hours?”
-Used some magic. I worked hard while you were busy eating crab stew, you know.
Mmm. White Autumn passionately expressed his effort.
I put in a lot of effort to express my powers.
Usually, I would have to give some calming medicine because I’d go wild, but this time there’s only praise to give.
All the videos I upload on my NewTube are edited versions of high standards.
“Great job! But what exactly happened?”
– Hehehe, Battery.
– You’re going to be surprised.
What’s up with that?
Editor Battery uploads a few pictures in the Discord room.
At the very top is a recent 5-hour-old video.
There’s a 15-minute video titled “Mock Siege War Team Selection,” and the view count is exceptional.
So…
“…Five million?”
“Amazing, five million in just five hours!”
“??? Is that even possible?”
Exactly 5,050,012.
There’s not just five million but an extra ten thousand more.
Naturally, it was number one in trending videos.
“Seriously?!”
It’s not impossible for a view count to reach five million.
Some videos uploaded on LilyTube have nearly ten million views, and most other videos get around three million as a baseline.
But I’ve never seen five million hit this quickly.
Usually, it takes one to two days to reach 200.
For a video to hit 500 or more, it typically takes a week.
But this one? It started at 500.
─Since the last time, the foreign algorithm has spread a lot, and it seems that the combat shown by Lady Lily in this mock siege war was exceptional enough to make some waves.
“Whoa…”
─Many may have seen it beforehand, but since it’s a video uploaded directly by you, it’s only natural that it gets popular.
─Of course! This is quite the big event!
After tidying up the Crab Empire, I was about to stretch out joyfully to sleep, but something even more amazing had happened.
Besides, five million in five hours means…
─It’s probably going to rise more.
“How much?”
─Well, honestly, usually here the growth would slow down a bit at this point, but it rode the algorithm really well, so… it should pass a thousand as a base… 2,000? 3,000?
Three thousand? Thirty million?
I’m dizzy.
Really dizzy.
“…I think I need to sleep. Thanks for all your hard work, everyone.”
─Huh? Aren’t we having a celebration party? Celebration party!
─Lady Lily, you’ve been in the dungeon for almost 8 hours today, so you must be tired. You go ahead.
Battery suppressed the energy of White Autumn.
Feeling a sudden wave of fatigue, I rubbed my head and once again thanked everyone for their hard work.
─Ah, then we’ll do it later!
“Yeah. Later. I promise.”
I really need to sleep.
I’m tired.

Demons are smarter than Celestials.
To be precise, they are quicker at ‘brain activity.’
There could be various reasons, but the most representative one is that they use their brains to devise magic formulas for casting spells.
Therefore, Demons can weave and alter hundreds, if not thousands, of magic formulas to unleash ultra-high-difficulty spells that the opponent can’t resist.
“…Huh.”
And when it gets complicated like this and the time to sleep comes, I sometimes envy the Demons.
They don’t need to sleep like this.
In just a moment, all their distractions and thoughts are gone.
The only thoughts they struggle with are those related to Celestials.
I sleep.
To sleep, I lay down on the land that was filled with fatigue just moments ago, using the sky as a blanket.
A night sky that you can’t see on Earth.
The dazzling starlight is beautiful, but unfortunately, all those stars are fake.
A true-to-life illusion created by one of the High-class Demons who twisted a part of the world’s laws.
I haven’t been there, but there probably isn’t a real one.
Perhaps there’s something else out there that I don’t even know about.
“…I want to go home.”
It’s been 20 years since I was reborn into the body of a little girl.
Isn’t it about time to go back home?
‘…’
.
.
.
“Cough!”
Beep! Bang! Beep! Beep beep!
Rolling…
“Ouch…”
An alarm rolls away in the distance. It doesn’t take long before it crashes against the wall, collapsing weakly.
Seeing my body on the floor instead of the bed, it looks like I fell off.
As I groggily get up, I see the small, cramped room.
“I don’t usually sleep like this.”
I usually sleep neatly, so I don’t know why today is different.
I picked up the alarm that fell with me.
7:10.
I slept for another 10 minutes.
I got up and headed to the bathroom.
Lily, with her still pretty appearance.
“Phew… I need to find a place to stay.”
It’s all because the bed is too small.
It’s already cramped, and now with the access device, there’s barely any space to step on.
It feels like a miracle that I fell onto the floor without any injuries.
‘…But how do I find a place to stay?’
Do I just go to a real estate office?
