chapter 9
3. A joint broadcast of Aegis without me? (2)
I couldn’t recognize it because the image was so different.
It was undoubtedly that white oil.
She and I have known each other since childhood. So childhood friend.
I was an orphan, so I was in and out of nursery school.
I happened to be in the same class as her when I was in elementary school. Because of that relationship, Jiyu’s parents took great care of me.
‘He really liked playing games with JiU.’
Both of them passed the Awoken aptitude. The awakening middle school also entered together.
Back then, when I was in middle school, I would sometimes stay at Jiyu’s house for a few weeks during vacation.
‘Jiyune’s parents took care of me like a son. They are very grateful.’
I’m so sorry that I’ve taken care of you since high school. Although I stayed completely in the dorm.
Anyway, Baek Ji-yu went on to the same Theia High School.
So we can really be called childhood friends.
But in high school days, because of An Yu-min. Especially for the past year, I haven’t been able to hang out with JiU often because of Aegis’ activities.
Of course, in my spare time, I connected to the game, Northern Warworld, and played with it.
When I was quiet for a while, Baek Ji-yu lowered her head.
“Hey, is it weird? hair color and style. Doesn’t it suit me very well?”
At those words, I looked at Jiyu again.
She had changed so much that I, a childhood friend, did not recognize her.
JiU had a gloomy style with long, messy black hair that covered her eyes. In fact, I didn’t have many friends at high school, but I had more game friends.
She was completely different now.
light blue hair. And he was wearing a cap. The hoodie and baseball jumper also went well with her.
In many ways, it feels like a lively college freshman.
To the extent that I want to praise her as a friend. It has become very beautiful.
If it looks like this, her assacinta life is also. It was clear that it would end.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been around like this. Enjoy your youth too.’
What is a childhood friend?
I have an unfortunate fate that I can’t continue with the main character boy whom I had a crush on.
Fortunately, Baek Ji-yu is an exception.
As her only childhood friend, I am an extra who is not even the main character in the original work. And the original main character is a woman in the first place. It doesn’t apply to her.
And unlike me, the original two-star extra. Baek Ji-yu was a 4-star character with quite good performance.
Above all, Jiyu and I are really good friends.
Seeing each other as the opposite s*x is not possible in the first place.
“You have changed very pretty? You must be very popular with the male cadets. There are a lot of guys like you who like Gemsoon.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
I was the manager of that saint tv.
A pretty girl who likes to play games. In particular, Gemsoon, who seems to be timid and foolish, is optimized to gain popularity in the room.
“What are you talking about!”
Baek Ji-yu shook his head busily this time.
Although the image has changed. As expected, the nature of the dark assachinta did not seem to go anywhere.
Even the power of the 1st awakening. Because that class was an assassin. It went well with her.
Anyway, I don’t know what to do with this common compliment.
Even if I always say that the cam is doing well, it is a world apart from Ha Ye-eun, who made all sorts of complaints and asked me to set it up again.
I pressed down on her hat and smiled.
“why? Are you so happy to hear compliments from an old friend?”
“Oh, that’s not it! It’s absurd to suddenly say that she’s pretty…”
“Can’t you say something like that? Ah, well, it’s not that I carelessly talk about a woman’s appearance. hahahaha. Sorry.”
Even so, the two of them sat comfortably because they were so casual.
Then I belatedly looked at her monitor again.
“huh? What is this? do you broadcast?”
Because the broadcasting program for streaming of Toka TV was open. Of course, a live broadcast of Tkatv was also turned on next to it.
Aegis is being merged.
At my words, Jiyu hurriedly waved her hands in the air.
“That, that… that… that…”
You’re the type of person who can’t lie again to me. Seeing that I couldn’t deny it, it really seemed like that.
“…… I’m not doing it right yet… I like games… I just want to stream a play video even if it’s a no cam…”
That was a very good idea.
Even though he’s such a timid geek.
Jiyu had a knack for games.
‘It must be because I personally verified that skill.’
Before broadcasting that original mobile game in a past life.
Originally I was broadcasting another pc online game. I was good at the game enough to beat semi-pro gamers sometimes.
Not as talented as I am. Still, Jiyu was definitely talented.
‘It could have been broadcast earlier.’
But she is so timid and gloomy.
Actually, he wanted to broadcast, so he helped me a few times. For several hours on the air, I couldn’t say a word and kept my mouth shut. When I was in high school, I couldn’t help it.
“If you have any questions about the show, ask me. I know a lot about streaming.”
“Yeah… That Aegis live broadcast… You were in charge of everything, right? I also worked as a manager for Saint Women TV… Ah!”
For a moment, she stopped talking as if she was sorry.
At the end of her gaze, she saw the figure of Aegis on the air.
“That… the Aegis… isn’t it a bit like mentioning it?”
“Ah, it doesn’t matter. It was a high school club activity anyway.”
Although it was shocking enough to cause panic immediately after being exiled. Now, because of the hidden title, absolute composure is maintained against the three.
So, against those three people, I did not waver a single word of emotion.
As I kept looking at JiU’s monitor, she said sorry.
“Uh… This is another streamer’s broadcast, but it’s in the middle of a merger… I guess Aegis is coming out just in time. I’m sorry… I’ll drag it out soon!”
“for a moment. It’s okay if you don’t turn it off.”
I was rather intrigued.
How well the Aegis would be doing after expelling me. I watched the broadcast with Jiu.
***
An Yu-min felt like he was about to explode.
Things haven’t worked out very well lately.
After graduating from high school, he became an official hunter. So I thought of helping more, more poor people. As a proud hero.
‘Obviously… the current Aegis members can do well enough…’
The three members of Aegis.
Although those three are novice hunters who have just graduated from high school.
Still, it was an ideal combination for a hunter party.
An Yu-min, a warrior. Through her second awakening and acquisition of the wind attribute, she strengthened her original water attribute to ice. Due to the nature of the ice, it was possible to tank at the same time.
In addition, the sorceress Songsia in charge of the subdeal. Even nun Ha Ye-eun, who is in charge of overall support and buffs.
A party combination with the perfect tang heel.
So even when I kicked out the unscrupulous Lee Jun-woo, I pictured the days full of heroic honor in my head.
‘Why… it’s not going well.’
The party creaked to the point where it was really nerve-wracking. In fact, the party’s skills weren’t the problem right away.
Just a few days ago, I had a hero activity in the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.
It was a request from a civilian requesting to clear a dungeon. I remembered what happened at that time.
Of course, I went to help without looking back for free. The other two faces were not so good. Still, there was no reason not to go.
A dungeon whose boss rating was clearly measured as D+. It wasn’t difficult for those three. Clearing was of course also easy.
a little strangely. Compared to when I attacked monsters of the same grade a few months ago, the combat record number had dropped. It didn’t matter that much.
The problem is not their skills. exploded elsewhere.
“Why, don’t they clear the dungeon at the foot of the mountain over there!”
At those words, An Yu-min was taken aback.
“The only place you requested from us is this dungeon…”
“Still, as you can see, hunters from the Association rarely come here! So, if you’re really a hero, shouldn’t you work harder?”
Clearly, the three of them had just cleared the dungeon.
Far from being welcoming, the villagers in front of me continued to make additional demands.
Songxia spoke in place of her flustered.
“I looked around there as well, but it’s a dungeon one rank higher than here. We already consumed our stamina with the previous attack, so it would be unreasonable to attack immediately…”
“I’ve definitely heard that other towns cleared many dungeons! Are you ignoring me as a person from the outskirts here?”
An Yu-min took a step backwards at those eyes.
‘Why, why are you doing that…? We’re obviously here to help those people…’
Then Ha Ye-eun even talked to the villager.
“Last time we had one more member so we had enough equipment, but today we can’t. I need more recovery items or additional attack equipment…”
“What kind of hero is this? No matter how much they help you for free, you can prepare roughly like that!”
Those words stuck into An Yu-min’s words like a dagger.
‘Roughly… Roughly?’
It was not wrong. Lee Jun-woo, who was in charge of the party’s porter, was not there.
And suddenly it dawned on me. In the dungeon a while ago. There was no tactical operating that Lee Jun-woo was always in charge of.
Rather than attacking as a party. If you think about it again, it was a strategy that ended with individual capabilities.
‘no. It’s not because Lee Jun-woo isn’t there, it’s definitely… it’s awkward to work with only three people while working with four people…’
There is not a single incompetent member who only reveals that woman.
It’s not an Aegis that can be shaken easily without one of those bad guys.
Aegis, where she is the party leader, couldn’t be like that.
“Ahn Yoo-min. let’s just go I can’t get through to those people.”
And Song Xia, who was dealing with the villagers, turned around and whispered.
At that moment, An Yu-min remembered.
When you have trouble with civilians like this. Always go out first and talk. The appearance of that Lee Jun-woo.
‘Why did that thought come to my mind?’
Lee Jun-woo was a trouble maker who always quarreled with desperate civilians who asked for help.
So, it had nothing to do with the present case. An Yu-min hurriedly shook his head.
‘okay. Hurry up and recruit another operator. There’s nothing wrong with that bastard… that playboy doesn’t exist!’
Reminiscing about what happened a few days ago. An Yu-min couldn’t concentrate on the live broadcast for a moment.
“…… Yumin-ah? So how was it when you caught that villain? Just, are you really scared too?”
At that time, he saw the face of someone talking to him.
Tka TV’s famous streamer. It was probably the streamer named Mungseokkyu.
“huh? How are you?”
Annoyance surged up in an instant at the urging expression on his face.
“Oh, I don’t know! Something like that!”
For a moment, silence fell in the studio.
Slightly, Mungseokkywu’s gaze turned to the chat window. Mungseokkywa’s expression also hardened.
“Uh… Yumin must have been nervous because he wasn’t used to joint broadcasting. Is that so? hey! chat window!! Do not overdo it! Yumin is not an ordinary person~!”
Ha Ye-eun’s face turned pale when she saw the chat window.
Ha Ye-eun, who hurriedly approached An Yu-min, whispered in her ear.
“Yoomin-nim, are you crazy? It’s live now! Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
The words made me cry even more. A fusion that does not want to come out. Because of Ha Ye-eun, I was forced to show up.
In particular, the lighting in this studio was too strong and bright.
That Lee Jun-woo’s authority.
She is used to the soft light his mirror creates. Right now, the broadcast lighting in the studio was very annoying.
Under the light of Lee Jun-woo. Even if she was so bad at broadcasting, she was somehow able to react.
‘for a moment. Why do you think of him again… If you do this… You seem to regret that I kicked him out.’
Never, never will there be any regrets. I just hope that Lee Jun-woo gets in the way of his hero activities.
Because I’m not the one to help.
An Yu-min was silent.
Surprised Mungseokkyu said something to himself again. Seeing that thick face made me even more angry.
‘This is not a hero’s job!
In the end, An Yu-min did not say a word until the end of the broadcast.
***
“Wow… Communication is messy. I think people’s heart is broken. An Yu-min, why is he acting like that on the air? Mungseokkyun, it’s so popular on Tka TV that it’s hard to join even once.”
Baek Ji-yu was making an absurd expression.
Although there were signs of that to some extent. In the end, it seems that An Yu-min had an accident in Hap-bang.
Mungseokkywyala is a popular streamer these days.
Aegis also visited the streamer’s studio. However, An Yu-min kept his mouth shut with a sullen expression throughout the broadcast.
‘Well… nothing strange.’
Throughout Aegis’ activities, An Yu-min was negative towards the streaming activities.
So starting the broadcast of Aegis was only possible by having Ha Ye-eun join the club.
‘Because Aegis was a high school student level hero club. It cost a lot of equipment and money for more hero activities.’
Even if there is a scholarship for high school. Because An Yu-min couldn’t handle the level of activity he wanted.
I covered the activity expenses through donations for internet broadcasting and advertising sponsors.
Song Xia, a lady from a famous guild, came and improved to some extent. The guild also kept requesting broadcasts for Songxia’s reputation.
After all, internet broadcasting was essential even during hero activities.
‘Even though An Yu-min couldn’t understand it no matter how I explained it.’
So, I took over all the administrative aspects and adult circumstances.
As a result, I received a ridiculous misunderstanding from those three people that I had embezzled.
Anyway, the reaction that came up on the Tkartv related community was no joke.
A super-major streamer, even among the staggering majors. Aegis will probably get a lot of swearing.
‘Of course, Ha Ye-eun, a streamer, will be the most troublesome.’
The power of my 1st awakening.
A mirror that sparkles peacefully. It was a really rubbish power.
At least, whether it’s broadcasting or external interviews like this. It was useful enough for the party members.
There was an excellent lighting effect and a buff effect that made you say pretty words.
Anyway, that Aegis has nothing to do with it anymore.
I played Northern Warworld with Baek Ji-yu a few times, then got up.
“I have to go to training now. you can do a little more You are still doing well.”
“Where do you train?”
“A park near here?”
“park? Why do Awoken train here?”
Belatedly, I told Jiyu about the circumstances of staying at this netcafe. Then she exclaimed urgently.
“Then come to my room! Don’t stay in such an uncomfortable place!”
I was momentarily taken aback by that statement.
“Jiu, to your room?”
Even if it’s a childhood friend. It’s past the age where we can live in the same room. Belatedly, Jiyu waved her hand again in the air.
“That’s not it, you idiot! come to my house! Well, you should understand what that means…”
Jiyu still lives at her parents’ house. Because I owe too much to those parents. I refused.
Surprisingly, once Jiyu started, she could never break her stubbornness.
“okay. Anyway, I have to go see my uncle and aunt. Only today…”
The two headed to her house. Since it was Sunday, JiU’s parents were all there.
The old man I hadn’t seen in a long time was still correct.
Tight-haired skinhead. A muscular middle-aged man. However, the uncle made a good proposal that I hadn’t thought of.
“Junwoo. Let’s work together with your uncle.”
Training department in preparation for class assignment evaluation after admission. Suggestions that can solve the lack of living expenses right now at once.
mister. So, Jiyu’s father was a builder with connections to the underworld.
At my uncle’s recommendation. I decided to stay at Jiyu’s house for the time being. And I found out something unexpected.
Jiyu was more of a fan of Saint Women TV than I thought.
