chapter 166
166 – Olympic Championship (5)
After completing the eventful Olympic schedule in London, the national team, including Eugene, was finally able to return to Korea.
And in the process of his return, Eugene was able to realize how well-known and popular he was now, even though it was new to him.
“Wow, Soma! It’s Soma!”
“Soma! Please look here!”
From the moment he entered Incheon International Airport, a huge number of fans gathered in front of the gate, hoping to see Eugene’s face his. At the convenience store he stopped by on his way home, not only did he have a part-time job paying for items, but there was also a person who was paying for cigarettes next to him. Even the man recognized his face and asked for his autograph
There was even a placard hanging at the entrance to the neighborhood where Eugene lives that said, ‘We sincerely welcome Soma, a member of the Korean national team, to win a gold medal!’ ﹥
Actually, being popular as a streamer wasn’t such a bad thing, and more than anything, when I was in this world, I had been living a life where I was criticized as a warrior wherever I went, so it didn’t bother me that much, but even so, I felt like I was sighing. Lifting was unavoidable.
This is because living a life in which other people were overly interested in oneself was enough during the time when I was active as a warrior in another world.
When Eugene entered the house feeling extremely tired, a surprise gift was waiting there that would take away all the fatigue he had ever felt.
“Hmm Eugene. It’s quite a late arrival. According to my calculations, you should have arrived home before 15:00.”
“Huh, Eugene? Have you finally arrived? I was planning to have a cup of tea with my father and mother. Are you going to join us?”
It was none other than Adelheit and Ryumina in the living room, welcoming him as he entered the house.
And the moment he saw the two in the living room of his house, Eugene felt like he was going crazy.
“… “I heard from Arrieta that you guys came to Earth, so I knew very well, but why are you in my house?”
When Eugene mumbles something as if it is absurd, Adelheit shrugs his shoulders in a very natural manner.
“Wow, you really are doing too much. “I went through all kinds of trouble to cross the dimension and meet you, but when I met you like this, as soon as you saw me, you asked me why I was here.”
“… No, you know very well that I am not talking in that sense.”
As far as Eugene knows, neither Adelheid nor Ryumina would ever come and stay at Eugene’s house like this because they don’t have enough money.
Eugene has been active as a warrior for the past 20 years and has lived a life that is no different from the ultimate in possessions, so he has no wealth, but he has money from Adelheit, the successor to a famous magic family, and Ryumina , the guardian of the World Tree. It would be absolutely ridiculous not to have even a single penny.
Anyway, Eugene wasn’t happy to see Adele Haidt and Ryu Mina again in some form, but she still wanted everyone to get out of this house.
Because the moment she saw these two in her house, a spark flew out of Arrieta’s eyes, who was looking very excited at the thought of visiting Eugene’s house.
“Adelheit, you! “You must have fooled me so well!”
“Oh my, you’re speaking a little harshly. Princess, I can’t believe I deceived you. “If you say something like that carelessly, Eugene next to her might misunderstand something, right?”
Eugene had to sweat for a while again to stop Adelheit, who was giggling as if he was having fun, and Arrieta, who was gritting her teeth at Adelheit.
To be honest, the fight between Adelheit and Arrieta was like an annual event for Eugene, so he wanted to just sit back and watch whether they fought or not, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.
The place where the two are currently yelling at each other is none other than the living room of the house where Eugene lives, and if the two really fight each other sincerely, not only Eugene’s house but the entire neighborhood may be devastated in an instant.
After somehow calming down Adele Haidt and Arrieta, Eugene decided to go into her room and turn on the broadcast as she had originally planned.
Recently, ever since Eugene joined the Korean national team and won a gold medal, all kinds of rumors were being created around him in real time, so the higher-ups wanted Eugene to personally explain the whole situation.
“Hmm, t-ha. Hello, this is Soma. It seems like it’s been a long time since I last broadcasted.”
Once Eugene started broadcasting, viewers began logging into the live room in the blink of an eye, wondering where he had heard the news from.
-What? Why on earth did Somajwa turn on the broadcast at this time?
– Ah, haha, it’s worth turning on the subscription notification on a regular basis. You can watch Soma’s live broadcasts in real time
– Soha~ (meaning it’s been a while since Somajwa dog)
Even though there was no prior notice or promotion, the number of real-time viewers exceeded 30,000 just 10 minutes after the broadcast began simply through word of mouth from viewers!
Of course, it could be said that this was all a phenomenon that occurred because the attention of not only Koreans but also people around the world was focused on Eugene.
As if to prove it, in the chat window that was constantly uploading in real time, not only Korean, but also languages from all over the world, including English, Japanese, Chinese, and French, were being uploaded.< Br﹥
– No, haha, why do foreigners watch Somajwa broadcasts during the day on weekdays? Don’t they have any jobs lol
– Teacher B… There is a time difference on Earth, so it would be evening or early morning in the United States or Europe… Aren’t those of us who watch Soma’s broadcasts during the daytime on weekdays the ones who don’t have jobs? ?
-Are you cursing the 100,000 people who watch Somajwa broadcasts during the day on weekdays?
– Yulgok Yi Yi’s 100,000-strong army and 100,000-strong army, followed by the 100,000-strong army, kekekekekeke
Seeing how the chat window suddenly turned into chaos reminiscent of a market, Eugene felt the need to calm down the viewers a little.
“Hmm… Everyone, please calm down a little for now. First of all, the reason why I turned on the broadcast as soon as the Olympic team was disbanded was to tell you my official opinion the various unfounded rumors related to me that have been floating around the Internet recently.
– Soma’s official opinion?
– Well, I saw a news article the other day, and there was all kinds of gossip going around about Somajwa haha
– ㄴ There is so much gossip that I have no idea what is the truth.
– There was also a post with over 1,000 comments fighting over whether Somajwa would transfer to another overseas club or not LOL
“First of all, I know that there was a lot of controversy, both at home and abroad, about whether I would accept scouts from overseas clubs. First of all, it is true that there were attempts to scout me from overseas clubs. Among them, there was a club that made a very harsh offer to me. I can’t tell you in detail, but… First, let me make it clear that there are places that have annual salaries offered in the millions.”
– So you only called in a few million won? I barely called that much and Somajwa rejected it like this haha. By the way, I’m a Lewis fan haha
– Look at your skill level haha
– As expected, Rupyeong has a clear economic concept. LOL
– Do you think you could have made millions in won? You idiot. LOL
“However, as I said in an interview with several reporters the other day, I will also make it clear here that I have no intention of moving to a foreign club. To be honest, I don’t really want to go all-in on just one game called ‘Thousands’ yet. Rather than being tied down to one game, I want to enjoy as many different types of games as possible with everyone, so I still want to maintain my job as a streamer.”
– Impressed ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– What is Sweet Somajwa LOL
– If it were any other streamer, I would have passed over the scout offer like a dog, but what is different about Somajwa? LOL
– The best GOAT in history ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
“First of all, it seems like the rumors related to scouting for overseas clubs have been explained… Do you have any questions or questions you would like to ask me personally?”
In fact, Eugene said those words without much thought, but unexpectedly, it seems that there was one question that viewers really wanted to ask Eugene.
Because the moment Eugene said that, everyone started asking him questions about one topic, as if he had made an agreement in advance.
– Romantic relationship!!!! It’s a love problem!!!
– So who are you dating now? Ecclesia? Cheonhwa? Or that British national team player Arrieta?
– Uh-huh, there are some women I went on a date with in Seoul. Please don’t count them out.
– Looking at the community yesterday, the fact that he is currently walking on five legs is a fact?
– There was a rumor that they were planning to run to the Middle East to get the five legs officially recognized. Is that true?
And for a moment, Eugene felt dizzy as he looked at the comments that filled the chat window.
Therefore… What on earth is happening?
First of all, it is okay to say that you are in a relationship with someone because you have accumulated karma, but where on earth did the rumors such as say that you would rather run away to the Middle East than stand on five legs come from ?
“Uh… Hmm… Everyone, please calm down first. I know very well that you guys are very interested in my relationship-related issues, but I don’t think I can say anything about it right now because nothing has been confirmed yet. But I can tell you that the rumors about me running away to the Middle East to pursue polygamy are definitely bullshit.”
If nothing else, Eugene said this in a firm tone to block any rumors that he would run away to the Middle East to marry several women at the same time, and viewers also commented with an air of agreement as if she was convinced of something.
Started to upload.
– Well, in modern society, does it make sense to go to the Middle East to marry multiple women? LOL
– However, there is no need for Soma to run away to the Middle East to pursue polygamy, as a bill was recently submitted to the National Assembly to allow polygamy and polyandry.
– Polygamy and polyandry are officially allowed in modern times? Does that make sense in Korea, a Confucian country?
– I also don’t know what happened all of a sudden. Haha. Did the members of the National Assembly eat something wrong, or did they lose their heads? Or maybe the group fell under some kind of spell.
Looking at the chat, Eugene narrowed her eyes without realizing it.
So, did the members of the National Assembly suddenly lose their minds and suddenly submit a bill to abolish monogamy and allow polygamy?
Does this make sense? No matter how much you think about it, the timing is too odd.
But the next moment, Eugene instinctively turned her head to the side and looked at Adel Haidt, who had been quietly watching her broadcast.
And seeing the deep smile on Adelheit’s lips, Eugene instinctively realized that she was the culprit of this whole situation.
After sending Arrieta to London, I wondered what she was doing in Korea, and was she planning something cute behind her back?
