I am Smart

The fact that Moon Si-hyun became the team leader of the team that Sansu was in was unexpected for those who didn’t know her or her team well.

Even though Moon Si-hyun had the highest tier among the six, her team originally included three seasoned veterans of broadcasting: Satori, Cactus, and the main order, San-deng.

However, it was her mature answers during the interview that quickly clarified why she was chosen as the team leader.

As a result, Sansu’s big mistake was swiftly smoothed over, and the chat, which had turned chaotic due to Moon Si-hyun and Sansu, rapidly calmed down.

… But right after that, the team name chosen by Moon Si-hyun.

Upon hearing it, the commentator stared blankly for a moment… then spoke up.

“… Bear Doll Family?”

“Bear Doll, Family?”

“… Bear Doll Family?”

Of course, if it were a team name for friendly gatherings or a low-tier competition, it would be quite understandable. The commentator would likely have laughed it off.

… However, considering that the Demons Competition featured many players close to a professional level, the commentators couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

The Demons Competition was, as its name suggested, a serious competition with relatively little playfulness.

Excluding Sansu’s team, which was advised to correct their error, the other five teams all had seriously composed English team names.

… But the name that Moon Si-hyun uttered in a small voice differed far too much from that.

What’s she saying?

Ha… Si-hyun…

Lol No way, she must really like bear dolls?

Lol This person is cute

Bear Doll Family is a fact lol

Reversal charm shock ㄷㄷㄷ

——

At first, the reactions from those who didn’t know Moon Si-hyun were purely of her being adorably cute.

——

F*, come here nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Bear Doll Family are you kidding me? lol

Naming sense is f*ing ridiculous lolololol

Bear Doll Family lol

Sht, she’s tempting us again sht, she’s tempting us again sht, she’s tempting us again sht, she’s tempting us again sht, she’s tempting us again sht, she’s tempting us again [deleted message]

Why is the reaction like this when it’s just cute….?

Is she doing this on purpose? lol

B*tch

Sh*t, let’s make another bear doll together [deleted message]

I really gotta go there lol

——

Then, the chat window exploded with reactions from Moon Si-hyun’s intense fandom.

A few minutes ago, when Moon Si-hyun’s voice was first heard live during the interview, the chat window was uncontrollably overwhelmed.

… Now, however, it was far more explosive.

“…”

The frantic deletion of messages by the staff was visible.

Since the official broadcast of the Demons Competition aired only once or twice a year, many people didn’t care about being forcibly ejected and just typed away as they liked.

But even considering that, it was way too intense.

Hellfire, paradise, hellfire.

The temperature in the chat flipped like a coin.

All of this… occurred after Moon Si-hyun made her appearance.

The commentator, looking at the chaotic chat window, made an effort to speak for the broadcast.

“Um, Bear Doll Family. Bear Doll Family… That’s nice. Is there a specific reason for the name choice?”

[… Uh, it just came to mind suddenly. It’s not like I’m a particular fan of bear dolls… I had to think quickly, so I just slapped it on there.]

After a brief silence, her answer came.

While her voice still held that maturity, it suddenly sounded a bit different, like someone clutching something closely.

… It was hard to imagine her as someone whose malicious fans were the mainstream.

And her words triggered another explosion in the chat.

[So, Team Bear Doll Hu… Family.]

[Wha…?]
“… Why are you laughing?”

[Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just too cute, no, I mean awesome! A fantastic team, uh. We hope to see a wonderful performance from you at the Demons Competition!]

“… Thank you.”

A slight audio gap lingered, followed by the chaos of the chat window. Nonetheless, the interview ended smoothly.

Moon Si-hyun let out a shallow breath and…

– ♪♫

“…”

She re-entered the call room that she had exited.

[[…]]

“…”

For a moment, silence filled the call room.

Sh*t, how’s the Demons team name Bear Doll Family? lol

——

“…”

Moon Si-hyun had to read the donation alert, so she snuck a glance at the chat window where messages were flying up by the dozens per second.

——

Really

Lolol

Other teams are incredibly serious

And Bear Doll Family??? lolololol

Bear Doll ㄷㄷㄷ

How is the team name Bear Doll Family? lol

The other teams all have cool names, but why just here;

Bear Doll lolololololol

“…”

Moon Si-hyun’s ears had turned bright red.

There were clearly six broadcasters besides her, yet no one spoke a word.

She was so flustered herself that she found it hard to think of anything to say.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the name Bear Doll Family had slipped out, a cotton-candy-like name totally inconsistent with the Demons Competition.

Furthermore, the word “family” followed the bear doll… she herself found that a bit hard to comprehend.

Hence, as her mind grappled with her unexpected feelings and as the viewers kept teasing her, Moon Si-hyun’s face grew hotter and hotter.

[… B-Bear Doll Family! That’s great!]

[… Uh…]
[That’s good! I like it.]
[Wow… Si-hyun, nice naming sense!]
[I agree.]
[W-Well, it’s better than Team Kim Tae-joon. Right, everyone?]
[But doesn’t the squirrel get eaten by bears?]
[… Huh…?]
[… You all seem to be warming up~]
[B-Bear Doll Family, fighting!]
[Fighting! Uh…]
——

They’re covering for her lol

My nickname is about to be attached to Bear Doll Family, yet I endure this lol

Si-hyun’s luck with people is really good…

Her teammates, seeing her silence, diligently defended her.

“…”

While looking at that, Moon Si-hyun unconsciously squeezed the bear doll tightly at her abdomen.

Then, after a brief chatting session passed…

[But are we going in now?]
[No. There’ll be introductions of the other teams too. It’ll take a bit.]
[Ah, I see.]

A little more time passed.

[Alright, finally, the next team, Team Lava’s leader, Hu-ji! Please give us your interview.]

[Hello.]

[Nice to meet you!]

[There’s a stance that Team Lava is one of the favorites to win. What do you think about that-]

During all this, Moon Si-hyun remained quietly gripping the bear doll against her abdomen.

After some slightly untoward events, she wanted to place the bear down quick.

… But.

So what are you holding? I swear, what have you been fiddling with since earlier?

——

“Oh, no? I’m not holding anything. Just… Ah. I’m uh, just giving myself a belly rub.”

Moon Si-hyun stuttered her words.

As time passed, viewers kept pressing to know what Moon Si-hyun was holding.

She wanted to put the bear doll down quickly, but around the treadmill, there was no furniture to place it on.

Even though she didn’t want to toss it casually onto the bed or just drop it on the floor beside the treadmill—her heart said no.

… Yet admitting that she had been holding the bear doll all this time would hurt her pride, which still remained intact.

Then another donation alert chimed.

——

User Mensa donated 1000 won.

Wow, so you really love bear dolls lol How on earth did you end up with Bear Doll Family as the team name? It’s hilarious lol What kind of thoughts do you have to say something like that right off the bat? lol

——

“…”

This time, once again, it was a more provocative content that poked at her pride.

Soon, the chat window, already slightly calmed, became filled with more teasing.

Moon Si-hyun’s brows furrowed slightly.

“… U-Um, I don’t like them that much. It’s just… just.”

Moon Si-hyun’s mind raced for something to refute.

“Ah. It just happened to be the bear doll that I was holding during the interview, so I just named the team after what was straight in front of me.”

Lifting her chin as if pleased with her response, she turned her face away.

Then, perhaps satisfied with her answer, a quiet motion was made to tuck her hair behind her ear.

——

Hahaha lololol

???

?

You really can’t lie well at all

??

Self-confession;

Mensa ham lolol

Are you an idiot?

What a dumbass lmao

——

[… Something feels off.]
[… Sister…]

… Moon Si-hyun, still turning her head away from the chat window, remained oblivious to her mistaken words.

The Demons Competition had officially begun.

Thus, the three galleries were the most explosively active.

– Coldly predicted Demons ranking… real talk

For now, I don’t know

But what’s certain is

The 6th will be Bear Doll Family…

Wake up, kiddos lost in romance

The tier gap is just too much

There’s no team with a lower win rate in 6-person rank than here

– That’s a given

– Honestly, they’re too popular compared to their skill lol

Yeah, can’t help it lol Sansu risking his life to secure all the star players

Yeah, I hope Sansu gets bashed for it, yeah, that’s taking all the attention from other broadcasters

But the team vibe is really good, what’s that about?

Yeah, the closer they are, the more they need to get it together, yeah, they know that atmosphere is important or else the team mood goes to shambles

——

– But who even is Kant?

Sansu’s friend

– Probably an amateur god-tier player

– Sansu’s friend

– Amature top user

– But seriously, why is he even here? lol He shouldn’t be here

Yeah, probably came out for Sansu’s connection

——

[Alright, the opening match you’ve all been waiting for! Let’s start.]

[Before we start, let’s show the players of the blue team and red team.]

As the commentator finished speaking, a screen came up.

——

KILLTHAT Jang-kum

KILLTHAT Dasop

KILLTHAT Nokseol

KILLTHAT Trend

KILLTHAT Jo Dae-woo

KILLTHAT Nodo

——

Bear Doll Family Satori

Bear Doll Family San-deng

Bear Doll Family Harris

Bear Doll Family Squirrel

Bear Doll Family Moon Si-hyun

Bear Doll Family Cactus

——

Sh*t

They look so weak

Are they heading out for a picnic or what? (For real, I don’t know)

Such a sh*t name for a serious competition…

——

[… Ahem… Certainly a unique name.]

[Haha… Let’s start the ban/pick now.]

[Alright, so for Bear Doll Family’s last pick, it’s the fighter, Moon Si-hyun going for the fighter pick.]

[KILL THAT team didn’t end up banning the fighter? What are your thoughts?]

[Yeah, since it’s a best of three, and in team games, fighter units aren’t proven yet. Moon Si-hyun hasn’t shown that she can’t use other units, so they seem to be letting this first game go free.]

[I see, both teams have notably straightforward picks, all going in the direction where they feel confident, and a meta-pick solution.]

[Yeah, since it’s an opening match. They don’t really know each other’s levels yet, so both teams have likely deemed there’s no need for significant risks.]

[Kant, what are your predictions for this match?]

[… Hmm. There’s an average tier difference between both teams. With straightforward bans/picks. Honestly, even if it’s Sansu’s team, I predict a smooth win for KILL THAT.]

[I agree. There’s certainly a storyline and romance, making them an attractive team, but honestly… The game isn’t played with romance alone. Especially in Fiore.]

[Thank you for your input. Now then, let the game begin!]
