nThe screen dimmed, turning dark. And when it returned, the city had turned to daytime, leaving Aoko standing on the sidewalk in front of a hospital.

nThe game screen had changed to show her standing there in third person, while her perspective camera looked she was having a videochat with the viewers.

n XD Queen actually died!

n Quick! Are you still alive in real life?

n So if you die in the game, you *don’t* die in real life

nAoko looked around and then groaned. “Goddammit. I *just* got my car back in real life and you bastards blow it up in the game. This is why I can’t have nice things. Freaking just like my subordinates used to be…”

n Nani?

n Wait. So was Aoko really a sect leader or something?

n *GASP* Are you the Drag-On Queen?!

nAoko scratched her hair and then spun around, looking at her surroundings. “And I don’t know where the hell I am in the game either. Tch.” She shook her head and then waved her hand in front of her. “Let’s see… There.”

nA phone plopped down in front of her. As it did, the camera feed showing her face moved to match the phone.

n That’s cool!

n More evidence that John’s a time traveler.

n What is- I don’t even… HOW?!

n Eeey. That’s the new jPhone!

n Queen’s living it large, huh?

n No wonder she’s playing ‘Highway Robbery…’

nMIRAIZ run script: spawn BMW

nA shadow flickered, covering Aoko’s body.

n“Hm?” She looked up and then cursed before diving out of the way. “@#email protected#! Orca, you bastard!”

nA black BMW landed right where Aoko had just been standing, bouncing against the ground a bit after it landed.

nAoko glared at the phone and then said, “That’s it. I’m turning this off until I figure out how it works.” After saying that, Aoko reached out to tap the camera.

n No!

n But the funnies!

nmonswoon Memes! They’re the DNA of the soul! You can’t take it away from us!

nAoko’s feed blinked out, leaving just the third person view of her standing in front of the BMW. “There.” She walked over and leaned against the side of the car, scrolling through her phone. “What the hell did Titor do when he updated this place anyway?”

nHana Homura Ch. Lots of fun stuff, Aneue!

nAlfi Titor Ch. XD Uncle Titor made it so the chat can interact a lot, didn’t he?

n Praise Lord Titor, King of Trolls

nMIRAIZ THERE WILL BE BLOOD

nMIRAIZ I am. Titor will be out of commission for a while.

n RIP Titor

nAoko took a step back. When she did, she bumped into the BMW. Glancing back at Alfi, her eyes started spinning and actual steam started appearing over her head. Her face turned a bright red and she stammered, “W-W-What are you s-s-saying? No, I-I told you to wait downstairs with Sis, right? Why are you up here?!”

n“W-Well…” Alfi hesitated, turning a bright red. And then she took a deep breath and nodded. “I love you! There! I said it!” After that, she spun around and ran off, dissolving into golden light.

nAoko froze for a moment. And then she keeled over, eyes spinning. After that, the screen dimmed again, replaced with a single line of text.

nEMOTIONAL DAMAGE

n XD

n I’m dead!

n SHEEESH

nAlfi Titor Ch. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

n A-Alfi! Calm down!

nHana Homura Ch. I’ll be back. Onee-chan just locked herself in the bathroom- Aaand she’s screaming out of embarrassment.

n It looks like the emotional damage went both ways, haha

nGoldenOrca Um.

nAlfis_Knight @GoldenOrca May the lord have mercy on your soul because you have committed a grave sin against our Goddess today.

n Crowd control was a mistake.

nAlfis_Paladin @GoldenOrca Friend! You should let us know when you’re in Japan again! We know a great sushi restaurant!

n :sweat: The Alfis are scary.

nOhana_dayo I thought *we* were overprotective…

nRhea Davinki Ch. Now I’m motivated!

nMiya Musashi Ch. Love really makes people different, huh?

n @Miya Musashi Ch. 100%

n So like… are we gonna wait here for a whole Aoko as Queen recovers?

n It can’t be *that* long. Can it?

n Queen *is* the Queen of delayed streams as well…

nJust then, a gasp echoed.

nThe dimmed screen came back and showed Aoko standing in front of her car, holding her heart. At the same time, her body was blinking in and out of existence.

n“T-That was dangerous. I think I just saw my mom…”

n Isn’t Queen’s mom dead…?

nloreowl So a direct confession is enough to reach the golden gates…

n @loreowl Alfi lore thread when?

n Alfinite is dangerous in raw form…

n Even the Dragon Queen can’t resist the perfect android, huh?

nAoko shook her head. As she did, her body stopped blinking in and out.

nIt looked like her cellphone had fallen to the ground when she collapsed, so Aoko reached over to pick that up. When she did, the right side of the video screen rippled before popping up with a video chat showing Aoko’s flushed face. She pointed at the screen and said, “You bastards! That was a cheapshot! I don’t know who did it, but-“

n GoldenOrca

n It was Orca-san

n Our resident Oil Prince

nFailureFox 100% GoldenOrca

nStraightGarbage Yep. All that guy’s fault.

nGoldenOrca @StraightGarbage Et tu?!

nAoko blinked and then crossed one arm under her chest, glaring at the screen. “Orca, you bastard. And here I was starting to think you were alright.”

nGoldenOrca orz

n Serves you right, you Oil Prince

n Yeah! Money can’t buy respect!

nGoldenOrca I’ve been tricked, bamboozled, framed! This is a plot to ruin my good name!

nFailureFox @GoldenOrca Stop with the rhyming. It’s cringe.

njetstreamsamuel @FailureFox Based

nFailureFox @jetstreamsamuel KYS

njetstreamsamuel :dies of cringe:

nAoko reached up to fix her hair, tucking a strand behind her ear. “Whatever. I guess this is Titor’s fault for being such a troll. I need to yell at him about that… No, I should go tell Ama-chan. She’ll rein him in.”

n Ama-chan?

n Wait. Is Titor married too?

n You mean that hot babe helping at the Expo is that cringelords wife?!

n“Hm? Yeah.” Aoko nodded and said, “Don’t know what she sees in the guy, but Ama-chan’s definitely with Titor. She has the patient of a goddamn saint too with what she puts up with.” Aoko looked around and said, “But forget about that. What the heck am I going to do now? I wanted to drive around a bit, but now I’m not in the mood for it…”

nMIRAIZ <: 250 USD> run script: spawn cyborgs

nMIRAIZ <: 250 EUR> run script: spawn Gojilla

nMIRAIZ Error. ‘Gojilla’ is undefined. Spawning ‘Kaijuu’ instead.

n Ahahaha. So the crowd control works when Queen has the phone, huh?

nmischievousmonkey You smart magnificent overseas bastards. Let me in on this.

nMIRAIZ run script: set wanted max; explosions; kamikaze marshmallows

nA giant roar in the distance. Shortly after, a towering dinosaur appeared in a flicker of golden sparks.

nGolden lightning struck all around Aoko, turning into dozens of armored cyborgs wielding swords.

nPolice sirens echoed in the distance, followed by explosions as the building started collapsing all around.

nAnd then, falling from the sky, giant marshmallows started plummeting towards the earth, erupting in explosions of white goop.

nAoko slowly lowered her phone, staring at the chaos around her. As she did, her left eye started twitching. “This was supposed to be a fun stream. This was supposed to be me driving, drifting, doing cool tricks. Ha. Haha.”

n Um.

n I… think Queen’s about to snap.

n CROWD CONTROL WAS A MISTAKE!

n“HAHAHAHAHA!” Aoko threw her head back and laughed, tossing her phone to the side.

nThe video chat feed filled with static before shutting off.

n HOLY CRAP!

n SHE’S SNAPPED!

n DAMMIT, GUYS! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! MIND BREAK IS BAD!

nThe cyborgs started closing in on Aoko, raising their swords. At the same time, helicopters started approaching, aiming turrets at Aoko.

nShe grinned. As she did, azure flames started flowing around her, forming horns and leathery wings. Not only that, but a glittering blue katana showed up in her right hand while the sapphire **G from earlier showed up in her left.

n“Mira-chan. Turn off the gore inhibitors.”

n OH GOD!

n Nononono! Mira-chan! Don’t listen!

n AAAAHHH! John! Help! Aoko’s self-destructing!

nMIRAIZ run script: clear queue

nMIRAIZ Error. Aoko Ryuusei has locked scripts.

nStraightGarbage email protected#email protectedemail protectedemail protected

nFailureFox @MIRAIZ Don’t do it Mira-chan!

nMIRAIZ Request Acknowledged. Turning on ‘Gore.’

nThe screen flashed red. When it did, the ragdolled people from the explosions and attacking cyborgs turned into a mosaic of red bits.

n Oh. It’s still censored.

n THANK GOD

n Wait. It’s censored for us, but isn’t Aoko still seeing the uncensored…?

n“GET OVER HERE YOU @#email protectedemail protected$! I’M GOING TO RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT’S DONE AND THIS WORLD IS GONE!”

nScreaming those words, Aoko flew forward, slashing her sword and spraying gunfire in every direction.

nMost of the screen was a blurry mess, actively censored from the mindless violence. But Aoko wasn’t.

nHer manic laughing face. Blood splatters covering her cheeks while her eyes gleamed red.

nInstead of a dragon, at that moment Aoko took on the appearance of a Demon Lord straight from hell.

nScreams of mercy. People calling out for god. Even that kaijuu letting out pained screams as Aoko flew towards it and ripped it apart with her bare hands.

n“Hahaha! Oh yeah. This is *way* better than just driving. Should have started with this. Ha. Hahahahahaha.”

nohana_dayo …So we agree, right guys?

nHanas_bigbro Y-Yeah. Let’s not do this to Hana…

nAlfis_Knight Ah. So the reason why Alfi-sama embraced Aoko is because she had fallen. I understand now. Sasuga, Alfi-sama.

nrational_rabbit …I need a new hobby.
