Chapter 9

Full-Peel Elf: This is a fraudulent contract!
Full-Peel Elf: Do you think I’ll just submit to this?
Full-Peel Elf: Take off this disgusting blue tag right now!
“This can’t be happening!”
The Elf Commander, Eliana, slammed her hands on the table, shaking with rage.
Her usually calm blonde hair was now frizzed out in shock.
It took only a single sentence to turn the famously composed Eliana into a boiling cauldron of emotions.
[You have become the Manager of the Gallery of Annihilation.]
[Blue tag has been issued. Congratulations!]
“What?!”
What’s a manager?
With the blue tag next to my name, I was now supposed to manage the gallery.
My role was to fend off disruptions and protect the gallery’s peace.
In short, I was a volunteer slave.
Therefore, I urgently protested to the Head of the Gallery through the admin chat.
Head of the Gallery☆: Not feeling it?
Full-Peel Elf: Are you kidding me?! Take it off right now!
Head of the Gallery☆: Well, I can’t exactly force the role on you, can I?
Head of the Gallery☆: Okey, I’ll peel it off again.
At least it was a relief that the Head of the Gallery wasn’t too much of a tyrant.
He seemed to agree with Eliana’s firm refusal, albeit reluctantly.
Head of the Gallery☆: (Gallery ban list screenshot)
Head of the Gallery☆: If you’re gonna quit, you might as well leave the gallery entirely, okay?
Full-Peel Elf: ??
Head of the Gallery☆: You witnessed top-secret gallery info as a manager, so you can’t just walk back to being a civilian.
Head of the Gallery☆: If you’re leaving our organization, depart with your life on the line…!
Full-Peel Elf: Are you nuts!!!
Full-Peel Elf: Seriously!!!
However, the Head of the Gallery was crazier than Eliana had anticipated.
Having done nothing but chat with other managers, how was this even top secret…?
The Head of the Gallery simply had no intention of letting Eliana go.
“Head of the Gallery. So this is how you’re playing it?”
Eliana felt a darkness creeping in, but it wasn’t like there were no alternatives at all.
She glanced around, assessing the gallery’s atmosphere.
– But is the Head of the Gallery really sane? Of all times;
– Full-Peel Elf really can’t do this!!!
– Oh lol, the gallery is doomed!
– How the Head of the Gallery ruins the gallery…jpg
“As expected.”
It was truly a chaotic mess.
Everyone expressed worry about becoming managers.
Unlike her title as the Elf Commander, Eliana was a weird elf running around using “-ya” from Full-Peel Elf.
And Eliana decided to make the most of this very atmosphere.
Title: Hello, everyone~ I’m Full-Peel Elf, the new Deputy!
Author: Full-Peel Elf★
Honestly, I’ve wanted to be a manager for a long time.
Everyone, listen to my managerial goals!
First off, once I become a manager!
I will take care of the gallery buddy who stole my old nickname “Cute Fresh Elf”.
Next, my second goal!
I will indiscriminately ban all the elves I dislike!
Lastly, I will issue a full IP ban on the entire species of the dwarves and dark elves who have been on my bad side!
From now on, the gallery will be governed by our Full-Peel Elf group!

– Oh crap, the gallery is seriously collapsing.
– Head of the Gallery, it’s not too late! Get a grip!!!
– This is how a gallery runs; everyone kneel and bow!
Reply: But it’s the Full-Peel Elf group, right…?
Reply: What does that even mean?
Reply: You’re also part of it, you know?
“Okay, the reactions are chilly.”
Leaders can never go solo.
If they push through even when public opinion is turning against them, then they just become dictators.
No one can ignore public sentiment.
– Head of the Gallery, explain your selection criteria for the Deputy!
– Head of the Gallery, repent and release a thousand cans of cola!
– I couldn’t buy tuna cans this morning! Let me go, please!
– Honestly, I’m as mad as five cans of tuna!
Reply: lol, who are these guys?
Although the public sentiment seemed somewhat flawed,
It wasn’t long before the Head of the Gallery actually put up a clarification post.
Title: It’s me. You asked for clarification, but if this goes as it is
“Of course! Justice prevails!”
Eliana flashed a victorious smile.
And she immediately clicked the Head of the Gallery’s post.
Rider.
(Masked Rider meme)
“What the?”
The Head of the Gallery was even less sane than expected.

– Does he not grasp the mood?
– Head of the Gallery, this is not the time for jokes, seriously.
– Agree, do you still want to mess around with the public sentiment like this?
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) So, would you like to be the Deputy?
Reply: Hmm, thinking about it, I believe there’s a solid reason for the Head of the Gallery’s selection.
Title: It’s me
(A serious Dwarf front meme)
Whoever messes with me becomes the Deputy.
Just kidding.
But it’s not really a joke.
If you have complaints, we can make it the Deputy LOL

– This guy’s just insane lol
– We’ve dubbed him a dictator now.
– But what can the gallery members do? Other than cursing in the comments, what can they really do?
“Oh no…”
Is it ending so helplessly?
At that moment, an alert popped up on Eliana’s system.
[You have received a notification in the Admin Chat Room.]
“…gulp.”
Eliana felt a tension she had never felt even during monster hunts as she opened the admin chat room.
And it was the terrifying messages from the Head of the Gallery, as if he knew everything.
Head of the Gallery☆: lol, give it up.
Head of the Gallery☆: Instead, I’ll send you a cola can now and then. hehe.
Full-Peel Elf: Nooo! Aaaah!!!!
And thus, the first rebellion attempt of a lifetime Deputy ended uselessly.
*
[Announcement] Ah… The Gallery of Annihilation… declares a “conscription”…
(The mascot of the Human race’s army, an approval meme of soldier)
From today, the Gallery of Annihilation will be implementing conscription.
The criteria for conscription are as follows.
.
.
Actually, there are no criteria; I’ll pick at my own discretion.
Q) Why the sudden change?
A) Considering that there have been no applicants for Deputy support,
If no one steps up, I’ll just point someone! LOL
So what if you’ve been chosen as the holy protector of the Gallery of Annihilation?
Congratulations, you are now a proud worker of the Gallery of Annihilation.
Now you just have to work hard for the Gallery of Annihilation.
I hope you’ll strive as a capable Deputy for the Gallery of Annihilation.
Q) What happens if I refuse conscription?
A) The Gallery of Annihilation does not show mercy to draft dodgers.
Draft dodgers will lose their status as gallery members and be forcibly expelled.
9999 days ban, okay?
If you think 9999 days is just a piece of cake LOL, then give it a try as a dragon or an ancient race!

– What the heck lol
– This is a violation of human rights.
– (Elf emoji shaking fist)
– Loyalty, loyalty ^^77
– Damn lolololol
– But what if a dragon just ignores it?
Reply: Then they won’t be eating tuna cans for 9999 days, LOL
Reply: If they ignore it, it’s fine; I’ll just pick someone else!
Reply: This is some hardcore iron-fisted rule;;
– Question. What’s the benefit of becoming the Deputy?
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) I’m quite dignified in my esteem.
Reply: Quite dignified, huh? LOL
Reply: Seems like it’s just the Head of the Gallery again.
“Well, I have to do it this way. It’s about time to pick a Deputy anyway.”
Laid back in the bed provided by the fallen noble, I was continuing my gallery antics under the dim light.
The conscription for Deputy position is a method that has been traditionally used in my previous life.
Because of that, the atmosphere of the gallery was chaotic.
– As long as it’s not me, I’m good!!
– In my lifetime, this is my first time feeling such a tense game of nerves LOL
Please, let just one of them get picked.
But let that one be a normal person.
In this atmosphere, I intentionally decided to stop my activities to monitor the gallery and catch those lurking in silence.

Author: Head of the Gallery☆
Don’t think that just because you reduce your activity or lurk around, you’ll escape.
There might be a chance for added punishment!

– Head of the Gallery, you can’t do this…
– Oh; I’ve been hiding well.
– lol, the hidden Dark Elves are crawling out now.
– Oh, here come the humans again, going wild…
– This was so cozy and nice…
Reply: Beastfolk, come out quickly lol
Reply: Beastfolk are welcome!
Reply: These humans seem suspiciously overjoyed;
Of course, there were also objections.
Not everyone enjoyed this atmosphere.
Naturally, everyone was included in the draft pool, leading anxious gallery members to start posting complaints.
Concept post) Head of the Gallery shows how much he’s never been to a military service
Drafting is absurd.
Does he think suddenly drafting without notice is going to end well?
It’s 100% guaranteed to backfire sooner or later.
I can guarantee that the Head of the Gallery has never served in a military.
[Comments 73]
– For real, lol
– lol, what kind of country operates conscription like this?
– Do you think it’s reasonable to drag a perfectly fine person into the Deputy-life, Head of the Gallery?
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) Uh-huh, it sure does seem to work for me?
Reply: ???
Reply: Is he seriously saying something strange again? LOL
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) No, seriously, in the country I lived in, once you turn adult, it’s mandatory to serve.
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) Of course, I’ve done it as well.
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) …..
Reply: Head of the Gallery☆) Ugh, damn it, now I’m remembering that time. Why do you have to remind me of such a lousy memory? Are you trying to have everyone feel the same pain as me?
Reply: ??? Is he for real?
Reply: I’m really sorry about this.
Reply: No, I’m serious; something feels off about his response.
Reply: Where on earth did he live…?
Yet the criticism could all be countered with fact.
Because I actually went through it?
If you have a problem, then I could equally enforce this onto you.
Thus the opposition in the gallery faded away, leaving only a hardcore game of nerves.
The seconds felt as if they were sliding like ice on a frozen lake.
Title: It’s me!
I picked one Deputy!
And no trolling here.
This new Deputy has no experience in warfare or strategy, and has no prior combat experience either!
Based on these rational criteria, let’s congratulate our new Deputy!

– lol as long as it’s not me…!!!
– Sweet soak~ feels like my teeth might rot~ too sweet~ sweet~ feels like my teeth might rot~ too sweet~
– Daddy, I don’t want to be a Deputy! Daddy, I don’t want to be a Deputy! Daddy, I don’t want to be a Deputy!
By the time evening rolled around, they had unearthed a talent.
Everyone in the gallery reflexively checked next to their nicknames and were engulfed in a wave of relief that they had survived.
Experiencing that tense moment seemed to trigger a release of endorphins in all of them, resulting in some outrageous comments.
– So, Head of the Gallery, who’s the new Deputy?
Just as I was about to reply to that relatively normal comment, I noticed a familiar notification.
Reply: I Will Not Die Even If I Am a Vampire★ Hello, everyone. I’m the cute vampire!
The new Deputy I selected replied personally, freezing all comment actions in place.
After a moment of silence, the tension was broken by a single post.
– Oh, crap, we’re messed up now
– I think I’m going to leave the gallery first. Good luck, everyone.
