First Blow: Calling the Noeulis "Master"
Ha-eun suffered the first emotional blow when she had to address the Noeulis with the supreme honorific of "Master."
Second Blow: The “Delicious Spell”
The second came when she was forced to recite the humiliating “delicious spell” in front of countless viewers.
And finally...
[ "Well done~. You’ve got a knack for being a maid." ]
"Th-that’s not a skill I need! ...Sir!"
Hida’s satisfied voice delivered the critical hit, leaving Ha-eun utterly defeated. The only sounds left were her faint groans of despair, picked up by the broadcast mic.
"Uuuhhh..."
Hida’s background as a former Noeulis herself also played a big role. To them, she was one of their own—a representative who could finally give Diah a taste of her own medicine.
Message: "I want to eat delicious food too, Diah."
"Why is everyone ganging up on me?!"
[ "Tsk, tsk. The Master says they want delicious food. Don’t you want to serve your Master?" ]
"D-do I have to do it again...?"
[ "Of course! Until Cat Playtime is fully installed, you’ll stay in maid mode." ]
Message: "Looking forward to your work, Witch-sama ^^7"
[ "Ah, thank you for the 30,000 won donation~. I’ll do my best~." ]
‘She’s enjoying this way too much.’
Ha-eun’s feelings were complicated. She had expected this outcome but wasn’t prepared to endure it. Still, there was no one to blame but herself—after all, it was her idea to offer a free pass.
If only she hadn’t made that offer, Diah’s adorable voice wouldn’t now be etched into eternity.
Finally, when Cat Playtime finished installing:
"That’s it! Maid mode is officially over!"
[ "Let me know when you’re ready to start, Diah." ]
"W-wouldn’t you like to play, Witch-sama? It’s a co-op game!"
[ "Why would I? I’m here to watch." ]
"You’re the worst...."
The Noeulis were having the time of their lives.
When the cheerful amusement park intro of Cat Playtime loaded, it felt entirely out of place for a horror game.
[ "Go ahead." ]
"...Sigh."
[ "Did you just sigh?" ]
"Haha, no, no! Must’ve been your imagination."
"Wow... That escalated quickly."
The once cheerful park now appeared decrepit and foreboding.
The goal: Investigate the abandoned rides and uncover their secrets.
The challenge: Escape alive.
Ha-eun’s nerves were frayed as she cautiously explored the park, guided—if it could be called that—by Hida’s gleeful instructions.
[ "Hmm, I think I saw something sparkle near the lion statue’s mouth." ]
"Really? I don’t see anything...."
[ "Reach in deeper. It’s there." ]
"Uh, okay..."
The problem was that nearly every ride Hida instructed Ha-eun to investigate turned out to be a trap.
Within seconds, the lion statue began to devour the player’s avatar.
The grotesque scene of her one-armed, lifeless avatar was accompanied by the floating message:
『YOU DIED!』

"I-I was just following the Witch-sama’s instructions!"
The chat remained firmly in Hida’s corner.
Still, Ha-eun couldn’t abandon the game. She had to see the ending of Cat Playtime no matter what.
"Ugh, what’s with this creepy music...."
As she continued exploring the eerie theme park, a haunting background tune played. It intensified as she entered a gift shop filled with ironically cute plush toys.
The shop was supposed to contain crucial clues. Ha-eun meticulously searched every display case, counter, and storage room—until:
[ "SCREEEEECH!!" ]
"Ahhhhhh!!"
The enormous cat plush in the storage room sprang to life with a horrifying cry, chasing her avatar. Ha-eun’s shrill scream echoed through the stream.
But no matter where she ran, the storage room’s layout seemed to twist into an endless maze.
Ha-eun found herself cornered by a locked door, unable to escape. Desperation took over as she frantically hit the door’s unlock button over and over.
[ "SCREEEEECH!!" ]
"AHHHHH!!"
The massive plush cat sank its jagged teeth into her avatar, ripping its head clean off.
In her panic, Ha-eun had clenched her hands so hard that the VR controller shattered in her grip. Luckily, no shards cut her, but the damage was done.
"W-Witch-sama... my controller is broken...."
[ "You’re just making excuses because the game scared you. Keep this up, and I’ll eat you for real." ]
"No, seriously! It’s broken!"
Hida didn’t believe her until Ha-eun sent a photo of the obliterated controller over Discord.
Only then did Hida’s voice soften slightly in reluctant acknowledgment.
But instead of ending the session, Hida ordered her to switch to the non-VR version of the game and continue.
The moment Ha-eun loaded her save file in the standard version:
[ "SCREEEEECH!!" ]
"?!?!?!?!"
Once again, the monstrous cat pounced, instantly killing her avatar. Ha-eun flinched and toppled over in her chair, sending her regular headset flying.
All that could be heard on the stream was the chaotic sound of her fall.
