“Why is your face like that so early in the morning?”
“…I saw something rough first thing in the morning.”
Going into that post calling for the Administrator without a second thought was the root of the problem.
He had suffered visual terrorism from photos of goblins being violated and crappy memes.
Even for someone like him, it was enough to make his head spin.
[To put a lousy Main Admin to work, prepare Goblin Cass and crappy memes]

“Tsk, drink some cold water and get ready. Patients who couldn’t come yesterday are piled up too, so there should be a fair number today.”
“…Alright.”
“Well, that said, there shouldn’t be any urgent cases. The Orc was taken down, and it’s not like we’re undertaking some big project.”
‘Whenever you say that, urgent patients show up.’
Still, he didn’t bother voicing it out loud.
Because that was nothing more than a simple superstition.
Margaret’s words weren’t wrong.
As if the pointless worry had been right, patients did pile up, but there were no urgent cases.
‘Well, even superstitions are bound to be wrong sometimes.’
Most of the patients who came in just needed a prescription or their wounds disinfected.
He used Heal occasionally, but it was only for young children with weak Immunity.
“Hold on, Priest. You heal that little kid but only give me a prescription? Why?”
Of course, there were people who pulled petty stunts like that.
But he was able to convince them through a firm response.
“If you don’t like it, feel free to leave.”
“Well, it’s not that I don’t like it…”
“Then quietly take your prescription and be on your way.”
“…Yes, Priest.”
Through the intimidation—er, the kind response—the man obediently took his prescription and left, as if he had never caused trouble in the first place.
Though he did worry that his words were a bit harsh for a Priest.
“Guess being a wandering Priest gives you some backbone.”
But Margaret seemed satisfied instead.
“Keep doing it that way. If you just smile and put up with it, they’ll think it’s allowed and waste your time.”
“Got it.”
Perhaps that one firm response was effective.
After that, patients demanding miracles for no good reason noticeably decreased.
Thanks to that, he found a brief moment of free time and opened up the Gallery.
[POW!]
[While the Main Admin isn’t managing, I’m posting some fresh Kobold NSFW!]
[Ugh fuck, I’m taking a break from the gallery for a while]
He snuck a click while glancing around.
Title: While the Main Admin isn’t managing, I’m posting some fresh Kobold NSFW!

(A fresh Elf NSFW)
Enjoy it, humans.
[Thanks]
[(Chimpanzee saying thanks con)]
[Why bother with the bait?]
[Disappointed..]
ã„´[Why on earth are you disappointed]
‘So that’s a Kobold, huh.’
He quietly saved the Kobold (not) NSFW.
After saving it, he slowly surveyed the Gallery’s atmosphere.
It was better than yesterday when it was consumed by fear of the Gallery being shut down, but it still fit the description of a complete mess.
Spam and trolling were as bad as ever, and the moment he looked away, heinous images that polluted the brain were uploaded nonstop.
‘Come to think of it, I did say I’d leave management to those Assistant Moderator types.’
It seemed the Gallery being this much of a mess was largely because there was no Assistant Moderator yet.
‘I need to pick Assistant Moderators to handle management.’
From what he’d looked into, an Assistant Moderator was a sort of ’employee’ appointed by the Main Admin.
And to hire an employee, paying wages is ‘common sense’.
The problem was that he wasn’t exactly well-off, nor did he have any way to pay wages.
‘It’d be great if someone worked for free, but there’s no way someone that insane exists in this world.’
The previous Assistant Moderators would’ve coughed up blood at that thought.
Just as he was pondering whether there was something suitable, he found it.
-Gallery Settings
In the corner at the top of the Gallery, an option he had never seen before caught his eye.
‘Is this a menu only visible to the Administrator?’
He looked at it closely, then pressed it to check.

[Gallery Function Addition]
The Gallery Settings was exactly what it sounded like—a dedicated page for tweaking the Gallery’s configuration.
As he skimmed through the settings one by one, he spotted an interesting function near the bottom.
‘With this, I can offer benefits instead of wages.’
But it was strange why the previous Main Admin never used such a useful feature. He figured out why soon enough.
-Gallery Function: Auction House
-This is mana unsuitable for activating the function.
‘So the functions you can activate depend on the user’s mana, huh.’
It seemed the functions available to activate differed based on the type of mana.
In that case, was the previous Main Admin unable to use any functions at all?
He checked the remaining records.
That wasn’t the case.
The Main Admin had also activated a few functions.
The most notable one was tracking user locations—IP tracking.
‘Maybe it’s a good thing he’s dead.’
He thought so inwardly.
He was well aware that impersonating a Priest was a problem, so it was better if even someone from his hometown didn’t know his identity.
A feeling of unease crept over him, but the man was dead already. He shook it off and sorted through the functions he could activate.
‘Just two for now, huh.’
-Gallery Function: Activating Item Transfer.
‘I don’t know what my mana has to do with Item Transfer, but if I tinker with it right, it’ll make for a proper reward.’
He wrote a post on the Gallery right away.
Title: (Notice) Recruiting Assistant Moderators.
Those interested, please apply generously.
The reaction to the post was explosive.
[Me me me! Make me an Assistant Moderator! Please! I’m confident I can do a good job!]
[Applying]
[Main Admin, I get that you’re new to the gallery, but you don’t recruit Assistant Moderators like this]
[Main Admin is really showing that newbie energy lol. Don’t you know the gallery gets ruined if you hand the armband to morons who want it?]
ã„´[Saying it’s already ruined is a no-no]
[First time seeing a Main Admin recruit Assistant Moderators like this ;]
[Take me!]
There were people applying, but among them, quite a few users warned that handing out such positions like this would cause problems in managing the Gallery.
‘So they’re saying I should force people to do it? I don’t understand.’
But when similar comments kept piling up, he wondered if he was truly ignorant about this, so he asked for opinions.
[Is it wrong to recruit Assistant Moderators this way?]
ã„´[Usually you don’t give the armband to someone who wants to wear it..]
ã„´[? So you’re saying I should grab someone who doesn’t want to and force them?]
ã„´[Yeah, that’s the right answer]
ã„´[At least in the gallery, that’s how it works, Main Admin]
‘…They’re definitely messing with me.’
There was no doubt they were all in on a prank to mock him as a Newbie.
He ignored the replies and checked only the applications.
‘About the three fastest applicants should do.’
Applying that quickly meant they checked the Gallery that often. They’d have the aptitude and, of course, plenty of time to manage.
-Designating user <Greenskin NSFW Image Bomber> as Assistant Moderator.
-..Designating as Assistant Moderator.
-…
The problem arose right after appointing the Assistant Moderators.
“Priest Flawi! Priest Margaret! There are urgent patients!”
‘See, it wasn’t just an empty superstition after all.’
The superstition he thought wasn’t going to hit this time finally did, as urgent patients came flooding in.
He closed the Gallery immediately and got up from his seat.
For a moment, he remembered he hadn’t mentioned the new function, but there was no time to dawdle.
…
[Assistant Moderator list is real?]
ã„´[Who got picked as Assistant Moderator?]
ã„´[Greenskin NSFW Image Bomber]
ã„´[Fuck, we’re doomed]
Surprisingly, the reaction to the new Assistant Moderator died down quickly.
Because all attention had been stolen away by something else.
And that something was the newly added function.
Of course, at first, no one believed the new function existed.
[Guys what is this?]
ã„´[What]
ã„´[They say a new function was added]
ã„´[???]
ã„´[This dumb fuck is talking nonsense while the gallery is on fire. You huffing carbon monoxide or something?]
ã„´[No, I’m serious!]
ã„´[Bullshit]
ã„´[Main Admin you fuck, so what is this Item Transfer function?!]
ã„´[?? It’s actually there]
But when testimonies of others finding the same function kept coming up, the mood flipped.
After checking with uncertainty, everyone eventually found and acknowledged the function.
Though finding the function and being able to use it were two different things, so there was bound to be a lot of trial and error.
[Looking for someone to test the Transfer function together. I’ll send an item]
ã„´[Let’s go]
ã„´[Sent it]
ã„´[Fuck, why did you send shit!]
There were a few minor casualties in the process, but once they eventually figured out the method, the Gallery’s mood heated up.
[This is literally a function that lets you send items to fellow gallery users]
ã„´[So isn’t it just a really fast delivery service?]
ã„´[That’s what makes it so awesome, you idiot]
ã„´[Oh, really?!]
It was a function that simply sent items, but its potential uses were endless.
[Oh, looking for someone to trade local specialties with]
ã„´[I make a living as a peddler. Wanna work together? My area’s the Koneil region of the Tir Kingdom]
ã„´[Pil Duchy here, let’s go]
Delivery and trade were prime examples, so some users who had long been strapped for cash quickly turned the new function into an opportunity.
The downside was that the function wasn’t entirely free.
[But it does seem to cost a lot of Points]
ã„´[100 Points per kilo seems small, but it adds up quick]
ã„´[Fuck, I should’ve gambled my Points away less]
ã„´[All those years of hoarding finally paid off lol]
All in all, fortunes were mixed.
Then, the Assistant Moderator flame, which he thought had died out, reignited.
