LRAB Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Anna drove the blade into the Dual Swordsman’s solar plexus.
"Guh, ugh..."
The Dual Swordsman struggled for a moment but soon lost strength, collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
She glanced around.
The severed neck of a horse lay nearby, with the Cavalier's body next to it, both arms cut off. The giant wolf, now a blood-soaked mess, lay still, and the Beast Tamer, who had lost both legs, had a crushed skull.
Stepping over the Dual Swordsman’s corpse, she noticed the utterly destroyed mannequin puppet as well.
"Thanks to you, we were able to win. Thank you."
Anna turned around.
There stood the Saint, with a faint, uncertain smile.
"Oh, no... The Dark Knight did most of the work..."
"Hehe."
Anna responded with a soft chuckle instead of words.
As she had promised Anna, she managed to take down three opponents. It wasn’t purely by her own strength; various factors had aligned in her favor.
Having just hunted neutral mobs, Anna’s defense had increased significantly. This allowed her to withstand most attacks, and the Saint’s support played a big role too.
The Dark Knight’s ultimate,
Moreover, the Saint’s skill effects, which stood out even in the darkness, drew the enemy’s attention. They became desperate to take her down, leaving openings that allowed Anna to defeat them more easily than expected.
It also helped that the enemies were overly cautious of support fire from Anna, likely due to their wariness of her.
"Anna must’ve done well on her end too."
Looking over, she saw that the Enchanter was already dead, and the Puppeteer had fallen, blood streaming from her forehead.
Anna, with a faint smile, was now about to finish off the last remaining Bard.
Watching this, Anna thought to herself:
‘But wasn’t that line a bit too much?’
This is being broadcast, after all.

"I’ve been a fan for a long time."
"I respect you. So please die."

Is she a psychopath? Lololol.Our Anna, embarrassing no matter where she goes...When I heard that, I really thought she was a psychopath, lol.Maybe gaming really is a disease.Anna-chan, uwu, destroy the world! Destroy Louis’s womb too, uwu!
[General] It’s hot today
I realized that the friction between Anna and Louis is setting the world on fire.
Thinking about it, I could almost smell something good.
[Comments]@@@@
I’m losing it.Anna’s meme is getting weirder and weirder, lol.Even polar bears would agree with this.“Smells good,” lolol.
[General] Louis’s reaction to getting violated by Anna
(Highlight video)
"Huh?"
"What was that just now? A confession?"
"Hmm..."
"Did you know that female viewers are much more intense than male viewers?"
"Male viewers, they just hop from one VTuber to another whenever they feel like it."
"But female viewers... There are fewer of them, but some even use my voice for... personal reasons..."
"It just suddenly came to mind."

What the...Is she treating us like freaks? Lololol.Is this for real?She’s so calm, but what is she even saying, lol.Anna’s a lesbian...So this is what it means to be a kill stealer?Anna’s imagining herself masturbating to Louis in victory, lololol.
"No, no, nooooo!!"
Anna buried her face in her bed.
For example, those who send super chat donations. Are they really doing it just to support someone they like?
They probably just want their names to be called out.
They want to have even the slightest impact on the life of their favorite, even if it’s a one-sided relationship.
That’s why Anna was no longer afraid of standing on the battlefield.
...No, that’s a lie. She was still scared.
But she realized that if she could endure a little fear, she could gain something much greater.
In the moment of death, she would be remembered.
That’s why she could make the final moment hers.
Shwing!
Anna sliced through the Paladin’s neck.
"...What am I even thinking right now."
Shaking her head, Anna took a deep breath.
...Maybe she’d been cooped up at home too long. To think she was having such perverse thoughts...
No, it’s probably not that perverse. Everyone’s had thoughts like these at least once, right? Sniping their favorite streamer and racking up kills—it’s a common thing.
And then they’d probably post on the gallery, “I totally owned that girl!”
"Ugh..."
Feeling like she was staring into the dark depths of human nature, Anna was overwhelmed with self-loathing.
...It felt like the more she played the game, the more she confronted her embarrassing memories instead of getting over them.
Streaming. Yes, streaming would help.
Sure, the viewers would probably tease her endlessly, but that was better than becoming more aware of her strange quirks.
Plus, she’d prepared a safeguard to deal with the teasing from her viewers.
[Labyrinth] Sensei Has Joined Us Again Today 【Shiroki Anna/EYEAI】
As soon as the game ended, Anna exited Labyrinth.
Even though there was still about an hour left before the stream was scheduled to start, she decided to call early because she felt like staying alone would only lead to more strange thoughts.
"Sensei, would you like to chat before the stream starts?"
For the record, Laura was, as usual, logged into Labyrinth.
She spent most of her time playing games, so whenever she was online in VR, she was almost always in the game.
After Anna sent a voice chat request, Laura quickly responded.
[Chat? About what?]
"Oh, nothing special... I just felt like chatting."
[Hmm? Well, okay. I actually had something I wanted to ask you too.]
Soon after, Laura finished her game and entered Anna’s virtual space.
Her avatar looked exactly like the real Laura.
However, due to the nature of VR, the avatar was slightly deformed, lacking the intense presence that Laura had in real life.
But it still caught Anna’s attention.
She couldn’t help but think that this person would become famous someday.
‘No, she’s already famous in Labyrinth, isn’t she?’
Though it seemed like Laura herself wasn’t aware of it.
Anna couldn’t predict what kind of person Laura would become in the future. Maybe she’d become a professional gamer, or perhaps a streamer.
When Laura eventually became a star, Anna knew she would take pride in having supported her from the beginning. That’s just the way otakus are.
Perhaps that’s why she invited Laura to collaborate in the first place. It was the perfect way to leave evidence of their connection.
"Come to think of it, Sensei, have you ever considered becoming a streamer?"
Anna asked casually.
There’s a saying in the VTuber industry: if you think someone is going to become popular later, you should do them a favor in advance.
That way, they won’t easily forget your kindness, and you’ll be able to maintain a relationship with them.
She’d heard that somewhere before.
