Chapter 10: Extra in the Broadcast (Part 1)

“Formal guest?”

It was an unexpected offer.

Sung Shihyun looked at Euning, who was nodding vigorously, with wide eyes.

“Yes, yes!You’ll formally be a guest on my broadcast.There won’t be any big changes.It’s just a matter of, how should

I put it?Title?It’s like that.”

A matter of title.

It seemed right and wrong at the same time.

But, she thought it wouldn’t matter.

Because it didn’t seem like she would be at a disadvantage.

Actually, Euning would know more about broadcasting than her.

So, Euning’s words would be right in this regard.

Sung Shihyun thought that and nodded.

“Okay.”

“Yes, yes.

Thank you.

Huh?

Hey, I was originally like this!

When did I ever become such a person…… Ah, I’m sorry.

I was reacting to the chat…….

I wasn’t talking to Shihyun-nim.”

“No, I understand.”

Sung Shihyun gave a light smile.

She had watched a lot of broadcasts, so she could fully understand her actions.

Euning smiled hehe and muttered in an awkward voice.

“S-Shall we start the duo?”

“Yes, I’d like that.”

“Alright.

First, I’ll set it to a normal game.”

When Euning made a few manipulations on the interface, a new game queue started.

Sung Shihyun looked at the running queue time, and suddenly a question came to mind, so she turned to Euning.

“Excuse me, I have a question, can I ask?”

“Ah, yes!

Of course!

You can ask anything except about personal information!”

Euning looked back at her, her eyes sparkling.

Her eyes were shining as if stardust had been sprinkled on them, which was honestly a little overwhelming.

At that intense reaction, Sung Shihyun smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, it’s nothing much…….”

Honestly, she knew this was a stupid question.

And it was also a little embarrassing to ask this question.

But, a question was a question, so she had to ask.

Sung Shihyun scratched her cheek and asked her.

“Is it, by any chance, that you can’t set up a character in this game originally?”

“Yes?”

Euning tilted her head.

A look as if she didn’t understand at all.

She felt a little awkward for some reason.

“When I first created a game character for ‘Arfellium Saga’, I couldn’t set anything.

So I was wondering if that was how it was originally…….”

Her voice gradually became smaller.

How should she put it?

She felt like a student who didn’t study even though the exam scope was announced?

Actually, it was information that could be found just by searching the internet, so it was inevitable that she would think so.

“Uh…….”

But.

For some reason, Euning’s face stiffened for a moment when she heard her question.

That expression made her tilt her head.

“……?”

Did she do something wrong?

‘……What does she mean?’

Ji-eun instantly stiffened her face.

How should she put it, she realized what cognitive dissonance felt like?

She clearly heard something with her ears, but it wasn’t being interpreted in her head.

‘She said she couldn’t set up a character?’

Character setup.

In Arfellium, character setup was another word for customization.

In other words, Shihyun was now claiming that she was a character who had not done any customization at all.

‘N-No.

Is that even possible?’

That beauty, without any correction, is her pure appearance?

No way.

That’s impossible.

Ji-eun shook her head inwardly.

And then she frowned.

No, no matter how much, how could she lie like this?

‘Isn’t that too much?’

[Natural beauty]

[Wow, you have to lie to a certain extent.

Isn’t that a bit much?]

[True, who would think it’s real]

[It’s a festival of bullsh*t]

Actually, it wasn’t just Ji-eun’s thought.

The chat window also started to become a mess due to Shihyun’s remarks.

But, Ji-eun had no way to control it.

To control the messed up chat window, Ji-eun had to speak directly about that ‘lie’, but if she did, Shihyun might

react unpleasantly.

‘No, why would she lie like that…….’

Ji-eun bit her lip slightly.

The chat window being messed up was a big problem.

The atmosphere of the room would also be clouded, and later, the part uploaded as a video would require excessive editing.

Ji-eun looked at Shihyun, who was still looking at the queue time with a calm face, with resentful eyes.

And then she suddenly thought.

‘……But what if it’s true?’

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ji-eun’s mind like lightning.

The thought that Shihyun’s words might be true.

‘No, no, no no no, there’s no way…… is there?’

There could be.

There could be.

The super-beautiful genius gamer she met by chance could actually be in a pure, natural state without any correction.

But how likely is that?

‘But…….’

Ji-eun chewed on her lips and thought.

‘If that’s true, then…….’

Amazing.

It was super duper ultra amazing.

It was a jackpot at the level of winning the lottery.

Not only would Mutube video material overflow like a waterfall, but it was also certain that it would be different in

terms of topicality.

There were more than six attention-grabbing Mutube thumbnails that immediately came to mind.

If she handed this video over to the editors, she swore to the heavens that they would give Ji-eun 108 bows of thanks.

Ji-eun bit her lip slightly and hesitated.

‘If it’s true, it will not only immediately reverse this atmosphere, but it will also cause a huge sensation.’

The broadcasting-related community sites would explode immediately.

The thought of that made her swallow dryly.

Will she gamble?

Or will she just let it go?

Ji-eun’s hesitation was short.

Her intuition, her gut feeling was telling her.

She had to take this.

She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Excuse me, Shihyun-nim…….”

“Yes.

What is it?”

Shihyun turned her head and looked back at Ji-eun.

She could see dark blue eyes facing Ji-eun.

They were eyes that seemed to draw you in.

Ji-eun asked in a trembling voice.

“Is it okay if I check what you just said?”

“Check?”

Shihyun tilted her head.

And then she smiled slowly.

“Yes.

It’s okay.”

“……!!!”

Ji-eun took a short breath.

She didn’t expect her to answer so coolly!

She thought she would hesitate a little, but could it be…… is it real?

While Ji-eun was thinking that, Shihyun asked with pure eyes.

“But…… how are you going to check?”

VRcall.

It was a virtual reality video call program.

It was a program that functioned like the old Voice Talk, but since it used a virtual reality device, in VRcall, you could

see each other’s entire bodies and interact with each other while talking, as if you were facing each other in person.

Instead, the disadvantage was that the program did not support the customization function, so your original real

appearance was revealed.

……That’s what the internet explanation said.

Sung Shihyun pressed the fully installed VRcall program and made a call to the number Euning had told her.

Then, after a brief ringing tone, a square door appeared in the air in front of her eyes.

-Slam!

When she opened the door and entered, she saw a space decorated like a small conference room.

And there, a brown-haired woman with a slightly changed appearance was sitting on a chair.

“Gasp!”

The brown-haired woman took a startled breath when she saw her.

It seemed that that woman was Euning.

To Euning, who was looking at her with a startled face and saying nothing, Sung Shihyun waved her hand awkwardly

and greeted her.

“H-Hello……?”

Then.

“Kyaaaak!”

A shrill scream erupted.

Sung Shihyun flinched at the sudden scream.

It was Euning who screamed.

She covered her mouth with one hand and shouted with an excited face.

“I-Is it real?

Is it really that you didn’t customize!

H-How can this be?

Wow, amazing!”

“Yes?”

“Ah, no…… Hey!

Watch your words!

She’s an ordinary person!

You’ll all be sued?

T-That, I wasn’t talking to Shihyun-nim…….”

Euning was talking gibberish.

Sung Shihyun stared at that appearance blankly.

While she was doing so, Euning came running up to her with a face that didn’t know what to do.

“Wow, Shihyun-nim.

You’re really, reaaaally!

Pretty!”

“Ah, yes.

Thank you…….”

“Really, really!”

A reluctant expression was naturally made.

Pretty…….

Should she accept this as a compliment?

While she was contemplating about her own identity for a moment, Euning fiddled with some settings and then sent her a

notification window.

It was her broadcast address.

“This is……?”

“F-First, I had the managers ban all the guys who crossed the line, but I’m showing you this so you can see the chat

window reaction…….Ah! No, t-that, first of all, it’s not that I was trying to use Shihyun-nim for the broadcast, but it

just happened…….”

Euning was talking gibberish again.

Sung Shihyun looked at her foolish appearance for a moment, then turned her gaze to the address in the notification window.

Chat window reaction?

She lightly pressed the broadcast address.

And then.

“……!!!”

She saw the broadcast chat window, which was incredibly enthusiastic about her, and was startled.
