EP.63 The Correlation Between Stress and Female Brats

I once came across an article while browsing the internet.

It said that cursing actually helps a lot more with stress relief than you might think.

Since I'm completely ignorant of science,

and from personal experience, it somehow felt that way,

I still believed that story.

But lately, I've noticed that the number of curses I let out has significantly decreased.

Not only in the game but also in real life.

Of course, cursing is not something a devout nun should do,

and it was only natural not to curse in the game...

But after acquiring this body, my cursing has been limited to just thinking it in my head.

Cursing with such a pure and clear voice made me uncomfortable.

Not only did it not fit, but it also felt like I was doing something wrong.

Of course, I can't say that I never let a curse slip when my emotions get heated,

but it's really rare.

To summarize what I've said so far,

cursing helps with stress relief.

A saint does not curse.

I became a saint,

so I try to refrain from cursing as much as possible.

Therefore, I can't benefit from the stress-relieving effects of cursing?

...

Advice I heard.

According to Solomon, I look like I'm frustrated.

Even though I've been diligently relieving my stress every day.

No, my thoughts are drifting this way again...

“...”

Maybe the method I've been using to relieve stress is wrong.

Perhaps I've accumulated a lot of stress without realizing it.

So, I keep wasting time on meaningless activities that have no potential for development.

Therefore, this opportunity is truly a golden one.

It would be strange not to seize an opportunity that has come to me.

So, I did something that a saint wouldn't do,

no,

something that a saint couldn't do.

The moment I made up my mind, the signals in my brain were transmitted to my hands at an astonishing speed.

My graceful fingers danced over the keyboard.

It was a speed that wouldn't have been possible for someone who, until recently, had struggled to control their fingers that moved like live fish.

The movements of the character that appeared due to my commands.

A high kick lands squarely on the opponent's chin.

The moment I intuitively knew the attack had hit, a chat rush began.

[ Messgaki: Dickhead♥ ]

Ah.

I shouldn't do this.

Really, I shouldn't.

Everyone makes mistakes, and when people meet, there will always be some difference in skill.

But it's really not right to mock someone just because I'm a little better than them.

To contribute to a clean gaming culture, you shouldn't gain satisfaction from belittling your opponent.

But...

It feels so relieving.

“...”

I suddenly reflected on my past self.

I was timid and didn't want to be disliked by anyone,

so I tried to avoid causing harm to others as much as it bothered me when I was the one being hurt.

The reason 'saints' don't curse or make derogatory remarks,

of course, the first reason is to maintain the concept of a benevolent nun, but the second reason is due to my self-protective nature.

Moreover, I've been having days where it's impossible not to accumulate stress.

Waking up one day to find my body had changed,

of course, the appearance was so good that it was indescribable,

but the sudden change in how people treated me was also something I didn't wish for.

While the gazes of people who looked at me as if they were licking me all over were subtly pleasant, they were also somewhat burdensome,

and most importantly, the thought that this body, which I obtained without any effort, could be taken away just as easily always lingered in the back of my mind.

Or, the fear that this might just be an illusion, that I might just be a brain in a jar, never completely went away,

so I might have just been dreaming.

“...”

Just thinking about the dream from last night makes me feel cold all over.

The feeling of being completely stripped and plunged into a block of ice by an unknown gaze.

Even though it was just a dream, it was so vivid that it made my hair stand on end.

Just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat and my body tremble.

If I keep getting distracted by this,

it feels like the things in the dream might really come true.

So, I needed something to blow it all away.

The first method I thought of and tried was intense and stimulating, but the aftereffects were significant,

...to the point where the thought of doing more might really lead to dehydration and death.

So, I passed on that.

Next, there was this.

Beating people up and cursing them.

Of course, it was in the game.

But even in the game, it was effective.

I got so engrossed in this, just as much as I was anxious.

The nickname and concept of the secondary account I created,

it seemed like they were there to solve this very situation.

So, this situation arose.

[ Messgaki: Idiot♡ ]

[ Messgaki: Completely useless♥ ]

[ Messgaki: Getting beaten by a brat like you even after getting a body adjustment, how pathetic♥ ]

To be fair,

the hearts at the end of each message aren't typed manually.

I remember adding them as a chat macro at some point, probably when I created this ID and customized it.

It's in the nature of female brats to add hearts to the end of everything they say.

I was just being true to the concept, just like when I was a saint.

Let's stop thinking and focus on the game.

The customization of my secondary account is based on a warrior class.

The basic characteristics are grounded in knuckle fighter or martial artist playstyles.

The only unique aspect is... the main skill page I use.

There was no weapon.

No armor.

Yes,

this was it.

I sold all the default equipment during the waiting time and replaced them with quick potions and throwing daggers used by thieves, aiming for an absurd playstyle where I fight using only these.

It's really absurd.

There was no way I could defeat an opponent of equal strength with this playstyle.

But getting caught and brutally beaten while fighting bare-handed as a female brat is literally a rule, isn't it?

Being true to the concept wasn't limited to the skill page.

I focused on the appearance of the character I was controlling.

The first thing that caught the eye was the black hair tied up in two braids,

followed by the fierce eyes and the upturned corners of the mouth, which gave the character a lively look.

Despite the small face, the eyes were large, the nose was delicate, and the red lips were prominent,

making the facial features give the character a youthful appearance.

Looking down, the skin wasn't entirely white,

and the clothes that clung tightly to the body were...

Isn't this too revealing?

The tight-fitting clothes that clung to the small body revealed the immature curves of a young girl,

and the tiny chest that wouldn't even fit in the palm of a hand, along with the unbelievable hips and plump thighs on such a young body, kept drawing my gaze.

It was a textbook example of a female brat, with no aspect of the face or body left out.

Controlling such a character, and even having a nickname that fits a female brat,

wouldn't it be stranger to type messages that don't match the concept?

So, I typed again.

Right after the small figure of the character delivered a precise kick to the opponent's chest.

A perfect clean hit.

[ Messgaki: Loser♥ ]

[ PreparingAHaremInThisWorldForMyRetirement: Damn, I'm so pissed ]

[ PreparingAHaremInThisWorldForMyRetirement: You really killed it ㅡㅡ ]

The opponent, who had initially tried to be polite, seemed to be boiling with anger.

It's understandable.

Avoiding all attacks like a flying squirrel and then, when there was an opening, delivering small punches and kicks,

the damage from a bare-handed fighter who didn't even clench their fists was minimal, so the opponent didn't die,

but the status effects from hitting vital points were very effective,

so they must have been incredibly frustrated that their character wasn't moving as they input the commands.

[ Messgaki: What are you doing♡ ]

[ Messgaki: You should have dodged to the right♥ ]

[ Messgaki: Idiot♥ You're so bad♥ ]

I thought I was being quite kind.

I'm telling them how to counter my attacks.

The whiny tone is part of the character's concept, so the opponent should just accept it.

I pressed the keyboard again to attack the staggering opponent.

Another flying kick.

It was a similar attack to the previous one.

The opponent, seemingly not listening to my advice, tried to dodge to the right.

But this time, it's different.

The foot and leg that were aiming for the chest suddenly changed direction and targeted the opponent's neck.

It seemed a bit of a stretch for the foot to reach the neck due to the height difference,

but the female brat character's body boasted an incredible flexibility.

The legs, spread wide, seemed to touch the opponent's neck and then, like a snake, wrapped around the back of the neck.

Using this as a support, the other leg also climbed up the neck, and the opponent, unable to bear the weight, fell to the ground.

The follow-up grapple.

The character's soft thighs wrapped around the opponent's neck and squeezed tightly.

The grapple release resistance was difficult due to the inherent strength difference,

but by pressing the commands faster than the opponent, the grapple continued.

After about thirty seconds, the opponent's character was foaming at the mouth.

The soft, thick legs rubbed up and down the opponent's thick neck,

it must be so pleasurable that they want to die.

『 Messgaki has defeated PreparingAHaremInThisWorldForMyRetirement. 』

...

Huh.

You really died.

Author's Note

Thank you, Twelveanz, for 40 coins.

Thank you, Charlesjeong, for 20 coins.

I missed you all...

At least today, I finished my morning shift and can visit you like this.

Many people asked why I didn't come... I didn't realize that some people don't read the afterword.

I'll leave a notice next time if something like this happens.

By the way,

this episode is about explaining the secondary account's nickname and concept play.

I really like Messgaki.

But just to clarify, there will be no boring developments like additional changes to the protagonist's appearance or a god-like being appearing to talk to the protagonist.

Thank you for reading,

I'll be back tomorrow night!
