There are games that take up very sensitive themes.

It seems that in Earth 4, where Han Se-ah is, there are such themes, and in the world I used to live in, there were games that depicted a future where the Nazis won World War II.

The Nazis appear as the evil empire, and the story unfolds in a way that the player takes them down.

So, I believe the viewers, who are acting like bloodthirsty berserkers, have thoughts similar to mine.

-A kingdom of Goddess-believers overthrows imperialists? This is totally ideological propaganda game, mmmph...!

-Isn't Han Se-ah's route fixed?

-Not just Han Se-ah. Every streamer damn it, hahaha. Do they want to get lynched?

For gamers who know the game well, it's clear that this is a branching quest.

Just like when the Demon King offers the Hero half of the world for a truce, the game developer is giving the player a choice.

Would you stand on the side of justice and play on hard mode to uphold your beliefs, or would you turn a blind eye to evil and reap the benefits by playing on easy mode?

Of course, if you choose easy mode here, Han Se-ah will be dead as a Korean, a gamer, and a streamer.

The cyber ghosts will tear her apart, saying that supporting imperialism is something no Korean who was colonized should ever do.

Viewers will froth at the mouth, saying she is choosing easy mode despite having drawn a 6★ cheat character.

Western viewers will start a revolution, criticizing her for showing an imperialist storyline on stream.

There's no way professional streamer Han Se-ah wouldn't know this.

"Hey, then it's obviously the kingdom route. We've built temples in the kingdom, so why would we join the empire? From the 43rd floor onwards, our Temple Knights have been pushing upwards, and I see a future where Harpy heads will be smashed as they shout, 'Blasphemer!'"

Her tone was firm, as if to dispel any doubts.

Thinking this wasn't enough, she quickly approached Irene, who was following closely behind me, and opened her mouth.

"Sister Irene, from what I've heard, it seems like the Harpy Kingdom and the Harpy Empire will eventually clash."

"Right? It looks like they don't worship the Goddess, unlike the kingdom people."

These guys believe the Harpy Empress is the Goddess of the sky and think wingless beings are inferior.

If the Nazis claimed the superiority of Aryans, these guys claimed the superiority of bird-people.

Winged Harpies are superior, and wingless humans are inferior.

Therefore, dwarves who live underground without facial features are a race close to livestock created by the Sky God to live as slaves.

Just looking at the armored Harpy who casually says such things, it's clear that they wouldn't believe in the Goddess of life.

Because of that, Irene's complexion was a little dark.

An empire that kidnaps people and denies the Goddess?

Isn't that practically a den of heretics?

Given Irene's and the temple's beliefs, it's less an evil empire and more an empire of pagans.

They could never join hands.

"In this case, don't you think we should help the converted Harpy Queen and unify the Harpies?"

"…Unify?"

"Yes, unify. If the Harpy Kingdom, which worships the Goddess, conquers the empire, we can comfortably move up to the 51st floor."

Again, Han Se-ah's snake-like tongue began to move, whispering as if injecting poison.

Once more, Irene's expression softened strangely.

While I led the way with the Harpy slung over my shoulder, she whispered continuously from behind.

However, this time, the content was quite different from before.

After all, enticing someone to establish a harem and talking about destroying the Harpy Empire are two entirely different matters.

Thinking about the viewers' reactions, Han Se-ah spoke firmly.

Her demeanor resembled Kim Hitler's, who would destroy the empire with her own hands, leaving Irene flustered.

"From what I hear, the Harpy Empire seems to have even conquered the city of the Dwarves and enslaved them. I think we should break through the underground passages, liberate the city, and conquer the empire."

"Did you consider all that, Hanna?"

"Yes, sister. For the will of the Goddess, we must also consider using force."

-War! War again! War! War again! War! War again! War! War again! War!

-Looks like this crazy woman is even more fanatical than the temple zealots.

-The chosen hero who crushes the evil, different-race empire (enjoys bombings and biochemical terror).

-Is Han Se-ah smiling brightly because she believes that explosions are art[1]?

-At least Se-ah doesn't declare bomb attacks in real life.

With this fiery talk, the viewers cried out Han Se-ah's name like fanatics worshipping a war-declaring pope.

In this world, the word "human rights" didn't exist.

Not the "human rights" meaning you'd be disadvantaged in the game's main story and events, but simply the notion that people had no interest in rights at all.

As I've always said, it's a world where a pickpocket caught stealing from an adventurer or mercenary could have their wrist cut off without it being a crime.

A child born in a farmhouse starts working as soon as they can walk, and when food becomes scarce, people naturally reduce the mouths to feed by offering someone up as monster feed.

In such a world, enslaving Dwarves, who aren't even human, couldn't be seen as a problem.

"…Blasphemers!"

"Huh, I always thought the Harpy sisters were so devout."

"Since cleverness didn't lead to faith, we must cleanse them."

But on the flip side, it's a world where a war can break out just because the Harpy Empire chose a theocracy that believes in the Harpy Empress as a Goddess.

Enslaving other races is fine.

Discriminating against fellow Harpies by classifying them as second-class citizens is also fine.

But denying the Goddess of Life and believing in their Empress as a Goddess is the mindset of heretics who deserve to be "converted."

Since Han Se-ah was leading the conversation rather than me, it was only natural for the viewers to be noisy.

-Why is she being an instigator instead of a hero?

-Now, she needs a different word, not just a porter. Instigator? Screamer?

-I thought she was going to film a stealth mission against the empire, but she's just tattling to the temple without hesitation, haha.

-What stealth mission? Just declare a crusade, open a holy war, and drop Tactical Roland.

-The temple is terrifying, especially how they go nuts when they hear 'Empress = Goddess.'

"They say you should strike while the iron is hot. We know there's nothing to gain by dragging this out. Even if we are going to war, there's a lot to prepare. So, we'd better let them know right away so they can come fully prepared."

[Our Hero Doesn't Bite donated 10,000 won!]

She’s rushing things so she can prepare bombs and acid herself.

While Han Se-ah floored the accelerator, it was up to me to talk with the party members.

Usually, Irene was quietly following, but this time, Grace and Katie were following obediently instead.

Both of them weren't especially devout or enlightened characters who would be outraged by slavery, so they didn't seem particularly angry at the Harpy Empire.

However, as adventurers on a mission from the Goddess, it seemed they were slightly rubbed the wrong way by the armored Harpy, and they didn't particularly oppose Han Se-ah's radical plan to conquer the empire.

After all, if you're happy to be called an "inferior race" by other races inside the tower, you'd have to be an incorrigible masochist.

"A war against the Harpy Empire... It would definitely be best to start by conquering the underground city. If we attack from underground, they won't be able to respond properly."

"Hmm... To think I'd experience a territorial battle inside the tower, something I never faced in the North. By the way, Roland, have you ever participated in a territorial battle?"

"Nope. I'm not a mercenary, and as an adventurer, I found it too bothersome to go around catching people."

To be honest, I was desperately clinging to the idea that I had to climb the tower to escape this fantasy world, but anyway.

While Han Se-ah was talking to the temple with Irene by her side, and after sending the armored Harpy to the Magic Tower, I felt relieved and began to consider how I should react.

I frowned at the armored Harpy's blindly eugenic comments, but thinking about it, that wasn't the reaction a resident of a medieval fantasy world would have.

Luckily, the viewers leaned toward teasing me for being called a "pervert" and getting emotionally scarred or shocked.

If not, someone would have clearly pointed out that my reaction was strange.
