“Wow. Did you see that?”
“……”
Redberry, who was watching the Grand General decision battle as a teammate, couldn’t hide her astonishment.
When Lily first declared that she would become the Grand General, Redberry felt it was arrogant.
No matter how skilled and popular she was, her opponent was a Ranker who had maintained a spot in the top 10 for a long time.
From the moment Leah transformed into a Nymph, she was considered one of the strongest, maintaining an equal position with Chuka Chip, who stood out among the professionals of Leo.
That’s why Redberry didn’t think much of Lily’s challenge…
“No way, no way, she really won.”
She won.
Not just barely, she maintained almost total dominance throughout the match.
Even the way she not only neutralized her opponent’s technique at the end but also copied it left everyone speechless.
How is that even possible?
If it’s possible, can other users do it too?
‘Maybe… I can too?’
When she heard Lily talking about feeling mana, she thought that as a Mage, it could be something she could do easily.
“Hey, Devil!”
“Uh, what?”
“How do you feel? Lady Lily did amazingly.”
Devil, who had been staring at Lily, looked startled and lifted his head at Redberry’s question.
His face was slightly flushed.
“Well, she’s good. For a human. Yeah.”
“…? Are you in love with Lady Lily?”
“What nonsense is that! This red human!”
Devil shouted suddenly, glaring at Redberry, then quickly left, fuming.
His ears were clearly red.
“You’re totally in love.”

“I won.”
I manifested a technique mimicking the moon-slicing style.
I don’t have enough samples to be sure, but I’d say I used about 70% similarly.
‘…Maybe that’s a bit much.’
The level of the Rankers was stronger than expected, using abilities beyond mere physicality.
I’m not on the verge of collapsing, but I definitely feel both physically and mentally fatigued.
If it was normal fatigue, I could just use a recovery potion or a stamina-related item, but this fatigue doesn’t seem to respond well to that.
I guess I’ll just take a nap.
[Lily looks tired]
[Potions, let’s go]
[It has been a long broadcast]
[Lilbaim?]
[Ah]
[Lilba, no no no no no]
[Why do I feel so proud that Lily won]
[For real, haha]
[Open the donation door]
[Donedonedonedon]
“Lady Lily.”
“?”
Black returned after finishing the post-match interview and summary.
Black returned after finishing the interview and organizing things.
His attitude was slightly different from earlier.
“Honestly, I was kind of unsure, but now I see why you were so eager.”
“You did well too, Black. It wasn’t easy for me either.”
“Well. Um. Yeah, you did well. But sometimes I wonder what the point of all this is.”
Black burst into laughter.
When I cocked my head in confusion, Black waved his hand dismissively, as if to say it was nothing.
[Hey, it’s not like it could be anything.]
[LOL]
[If there’s someone copying your ultimate technique, that might raise an eyebrow.]
[So, can we do that too?]
[No idea.]
“Anyway, I’ll leave the Grand General role to Lady Lily. We’ll change the team name, and the team leader…”
“You can take that role, Black.”
“…Are you just passing it off to me?”
“Of course not.”
It’s not like I was trying to offload it because I was lazy.
Black would probably be better suited for the job than I would.
I’ve fought alone plenty of times, but Black probably has a lot of experience with these types of matches and team competitions.
[That’s right.]
[LOL]
[Ah, just like in group projects, you always want someone else to be the team leader. LOL]
[Lily, the Grand General, up for grabs.]
[Lily’s so cute, LOL.]
[Lily only eats sweets.]
[If we lose, we lose, right?]
[This is so funny, LOL.]
[The winner’s “right.”]
Black chuckled and nodded.
“…Yes. Understood.”

The team selection concluded, and we agreed to hold the practice a week later, on March 14th.
At that time, we’d meet, greet each other, and have time to sync up.
“…So, just how much did you shoot?”
[No idea.]
[LOL, how can you show that and not get supported?]
[For real, LOL.]
[HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.]
[Five minutes? You must think too highly of us.]
[LOL.]
[Lily, grinning after the game, is absolutely hilarious.]
[Let’s raise the minimum donation to 100,000!]
[No way.]
[Donations are insane.]
Before signing off, I opened donations just for a moment.
Originally, I was tired and planned to just end the stream, but given the last incident and the number of requests for donations, I decided to keep it open for just 5 minutes…
[10,000 won donation received from ‘Donation Master.’]
─Time extension +10 seconds.
“Thank you for your 10,000 won contribution, Mr. 10,000 won supporter! This feels like it’s a bit longer than 10 seconds…”
Between these 5 minutes, it’s endless how much support has been piled in.
I’ve already been reading donations for 40 minutes straight.
But it’s a relief to close it quickly; if I had opened it for just 5 more minutes, a disaster might have happened.
[Lily Lily has donated 1,000,000 won]
─ Victory, congratulations!
“Lily Lily! Thank you for the one million won. Always appreciate your big donations.”
I always think this, but one million won is huge.
It feels almost bad to just read it once and move on.
I should come up with something to repay these donations soon.
‘What people would like is content, right?’
[Suddenly feeling hyped, haha!]
[One million is definitely the king, hahaha!]
[Lily’s reactions are getting cuter and cuter!]
[For real, lol]
[Let’s increase the max denomination, haha!]
[Yup, I want to see those thousands!]

Beep. Beep. Beeep…
“…I’m tired.”
7 AM.
I wake up at the same time every day.
There’s no particular reason.
I just started waking up at 7 AM at some point.
I’m not sure if it was when I first entered Lily’s body, or if it just happened over time.
I can remember everything else clearly, but this is the one thing I can’t quite recall.
“Ugh…!”
After stretching and preparing the same breakfast, I wash up and sit in front of my computer.
This routine has become so habitual that my body moves automatically now.
Ding-dong. Ding-dong. Ding-dong.
“?”
The Discord room for editors is buzzing with notifications.
When I check in, they’re posting some pictures.
“Wow. The viewer count is 270,000.”
A photo posted by White Autumn.
The viewer count from the mock siege war held yesterday has hit an incredible 270,000.
No matter how you look at it, that’s an absurd number for a regular stream.
Furthermore, since other streamers and rankers are mostly streaming too, the total could easily be around 500,000, right?
I’ve seen my own viewer count peak at 93,000 at one point.
“…Hmm.”

CEO’s broadcast has surpassed 100,000 viewers!

Wow!
● Battery, 8:00 AM today
That’s amazing!
(Chibi character doing a thumbs-up emoji)
● Battery, 8:00 AM today
It wouldn’t be bad to post today’s stuff early. Things are chaotic everywhere right now.

Good idea, let’s edit right away. We can talk about the thumbnail when Apple Flavor arrives.
● White Autumn, 8:01 AM
Boss, are you watching?
“Oops.”
How did they know?
“Oh.”
Come to think of it, Discord was logged in.
But how would I know if they were actually watching or just logged in?
● Lily, 8:01 AM
Caught!
● Lily, 8:01 AM
How did you know?
● White Autumn, 8:01 AM
Guess! Come to the call room.
Ding ding.
─ Boss~
“How did you know?”
─ Hehe.
White Autumn chuckles softly over the voice call.
For some reason, it’s a bit irritating.
─ You always wake up around this time. You log into Discord after seven every day.
“Sometimes I just leave it on.”
─ Plays along, right? You’re the boss and I’m the loyal first editor.
Hehe.
“…Have you edited all the videos?”
─ Do you check right after seeing something? How rude.
“I somehow feel like you’re slacking off.”
In the end, the grandmaster and work are very important matters.
At first glance, it seems they’re having a serious discussion about editing, but if you look closely, it’s just casual chatter.
Plus, since the video went so well, they sent nearly double the usual payment as an incentive.
White Autumn immediately sent over the edited videos, clearing their throat!
─ Yes~ I’ve done it, that’s why I’m like this.
“Then it seems like there will be more work.”
─ …What?
“This time, it’s the mock siege war editing. I thought it was a great idea, so how about our White Autumn takes it on?”
As I said, as quickly as possible.
─ …That was supposed to be Battery’s job—
“Come on! You’re overflowing with confidence and skill, so it’d be great for you to take this chance and edit it nicely.”
─ I’m a bit tired from managing yesterday, you know…?
“I thought you said you were working hard… Strange.”
Why aren’t they working hard?
─ …Sister.
“Fighting~”
