Chapter 20: Narak Scoring Show

“Alright, I’ve brought the preliminary answer sheet, and I’ll look at it along with the PDF.”

I opened the CSAT Korean History PDF file I had downloaded from the internet.

The image of the questions I saw earlier appeared vividly.

“Phew… I’ll write down the answers one page at a time.”

I wrote down the answers I had chosen in the bottom right corner of the first page.

Then, I started grading them one by one, comparing them with the answer key.

As expected, I had gotten everything right so far.

[Congrats on escaping being a caveman]
[Stone Age master, for real]
[The teacher in the options is pretty busty lol]

“I’ll move on to the next one.”

The second and third pages.

Since I had also used my ability to solve pages 2 and 3, I was able to get them all right.

[Congrats on escaping being a traitor]
[Boring]
[Why aren’t you a dummy?]

Alright, no problems so far.

Now, page 4 is the problem…

Come to think of it, page 4 was the worst condition.

Unlike pages 1-3, which at most only covered the scope of the Joseon or Three Kingdoms periods.

Page 4 included modern history.

To put it a little differently, it means that page 4 is the page that includes the abyss extreme express train.

[Why aren’t you grading?]
[Let’s go, let’s go~]
[lol]

I start grading with trembling hands.

2, 4, 4, 1.

Wrong, wrong, right, wrong.

In the modern history section, I got every single one wrong except for one problem.

But the problem I got right was…

[Gasp]
[Official communist, for real]
[Wait, was Red Naru for real? lol]

It was a question about ‘that’ country that has now collapsed.

And it was a question with Stalin’s face on it…

This is a complete accident, isn’t it…?

The chat window starts to burn up.

It’s so hot that the chats are pouring in at a speed that’s hard to even read.

[Was it not Naru, but Uriru (our-ru)? for real]
(TL Note: A pun combining ‘Naru’ and ‘Uri’ (our), a common prefix in communist rhetoric, like ‘our comrade’.)
[Stand up! You too!]
[Welcome, comrade!]

Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I should have spun the roulette without Korean History.

Since it has come to this, I have no choice but to suppress them.

Let’s see you taste the communist-style suppression you love so much!

“You, who laughed there, to the Gulag.”

[Just spare my life!]
[Aaaack, the streamer is doing an indiscriminate temporary ban bombing!]
[I won’t do it! I’ll never do it again!]

Phew, I’ve sent all the ringleaders to Siberia…

Now I should probably wrap this up and switch to the joint broadcast.

I’ve taken up more time than I thought.

Ding

[“Unni, why are you so late!”]

Sua’s voice, which I heard as soon as I entered the Discord room.

It’s a voice that always sticks in my ear.

“Sorry, sorry, there were a lot of trolls in our room.”

[Trolls?]
[You were the one who started it]
[This cunning red b*tch lol]
ㄴ[This user has been temporarily blocked.]

There seems to be a lot of opposition… but if it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have been late, you know?

“I’ve sent all the trolls to Siberia, so I think we can start now.”

Anyway, the joint broadcast begins.

Perhaps because it’s the first direct joint broadcast, everyone is gathered.

[“Now that Naru is here, shall we get started?”]

[“Okay, okay, let’s start, okay~”]

[“Choa… you’re stuck on something weird again…”]

The story proceeds with a little bit of commotion.

After the small talk is over, we move on to the main topic.

Though the main topic is just chatting…

I think there’s a difference between structured chatting and unstructured chatting.

And the chatting we’re about to do is structured chatting.

[“…So, it’s been about a month since we all got to know each other, right? Shall we talk about our first and current impressions?”]

It starts with Shiro-unni, who brought it up.

The members, one by one, talk about their first and current impressions of Shiro-unni.

[“First, tell me your first impressions.”]

[“Scary…?”]

[“She looked like a Jindo dog.”]

“She looked sharp.”

[“Oh, I thought she had a very kind atmosphere even though she looked scary.”]

Everyone’s thoughts were similar.

It seems they thought so because of her sharp eyes.

[“Ugh… then tell me your current impressions.”]

[“Gasp, Shiro-unni is sulking…!”]

[“I’m not sulking, you know?”]

Shiro-unni, who was bantering with Choa, continued to speak.

[“Anyway, tell me your current impressions.”]

[“She was very kind…”]

[“Like a mommy?”]

“A big sister who takes good care of you.”

[“Oh, I thought the same as Sea-unni!”]

[“Hehe, re~ally?”]

This time, her mood improved quickly.

She really changes her emotions quickly.

[How must she look for everyone to say she’s scary lol]
[Tiger teacher, for real]
[Shiro<—this b*tch is just a cool beauty tsundere]

I wonder whose turn it is next.

Will Choa step up as always?

[“Tell me my impression too!”]

My prediction was spot on.

It became Choa’s turn.

[“Energetic? But this hasn’t changed from when I first saw her to now.”]

[“That’s right, our Choa is so consistent, you know?”]

“Choa is… just a Golden Retriever, that itself?”

[“It’s been a few years since we met, so my first impression doesn’t really come to mind… but I don’t think it was much different from my current impression.”]

[Jena-jena, what are you talking about?]
[Hasn’t it only been a month since you met?]
[This b*tch is spoon-feeding her past life with her own hands lol]

The chat window got a little messy because of Jena-unni’s mistake.

But anyway, we were able to converge on one opinion about Choa’s impression.

‘Energetic.’

It was an expression that could summarize Choa in one go, whether it was her first or current impression.

…Actually, there aren’t many expressions other than that to describe Choa.

It was a side effect, or not, of her one-dimensional personality.

[“Next up… our Sea’s turn?”]

The next target was designated as Sea-unni.

Along with that designation, I recalled Sea-unni’s appearance.

“Hmm… cool?”

That was my first impression of Sea-unni.

[“Sea-unni… I thought she was really handsome when I first saw her.”]

[“I… thought similarly…”]

[“Wow, everyone thinks the same? The Sea I saw was a total cool person too…!”]

The first impressions that the other members had were not much different from my thoughts.

Anyone would probably think so.

[“Then what’s her current impression?”]

However, the difference between those who know her and those who don’t comes out here.

Those who don’t know Sea-unni’s true nature will only think of her as a handsome big sister.

But those who know her true nature…

[“A huge pervert who makes sexual harassment a daily routine?”]

Will give this kind of evaluation.

Of course, even considering that the person who said that was Shiro-unni, the biggest victim of her sexual compliments.

[“It’s like the soul of a middle-aged man is in her body…”]

Basically, this level of evaluation is a given.

Considering her usual behavior, it would be a natural evaluation.

[“Hmph, I’m hurt. Is that what you all thought of me? Is it?”]

[Crazy b*tch lol]
[Would it be wrong to say it’s obvious from the way you talk?]
[Ah, Cellphone-ti haem]

The viewers’ reactions were similar.

Hmm… but what did she do on her broadcast to get such a hot reaction?

I became curious about her detailed actions.

Even though I knew that 30% of what she says on her broadcast is sexual compliments.

I became curious about what exactly she said.

“No, what do you usually say for the viewers’ reactions to be like that?”

Hearing that, Shiro-unni posted a YouTube link in the chat room.

When I clicked on that link, I saw Sea’s avatar and a picture of Shiro’s avatar in a slightly risqué style.

<Sea-haem who can’t fix her old habits>

Hmm, from the title, I can somewhat guess what the content will be about.

I played that video.

[“…So, you have to choose a pretty model to draw so you don’t get tired of it.”]

Is it some kind of drawing tutorial?

It doesn’t seem like there’s any problem so far.

[“Look at Shiro-unni’s avatar. It’s the very definition of the most f*ckable body, huh? Don’t you feel like doing an eup-eup press? No? Am I the only one who thinks so?”]
(TL Note: The  (eup-eup) is a form of self-censorship, like bleeping out a word. In this context, it’s likely implying a lewd act.)

Nope.

As expected of a former hentai artist, her vocabulary is very gentlemanly.

At this rate, you could even call her a walking full body moan (sexual harassment over telecommunications), couldn’t you?

Pushing aside the horror I felt throughout my body, I closed the window where the video was open.

[How’s the spicy taste of the Chieftain-nim?]
[Eyes squeezed shut lol]
[Why is this person paying with donations as settlement money?]
[Naru, you made a sexual compliment to the teacher too]

“Ahem, what are you talking about. That was clearly a mistake.”

Oh no, to suddenly turn the arrow on me.

I’ll remember all the people who said something to me now…!

[“Naru, you saw the video, right?”]

“Yes.”

[“Then you understand why everyone thinks that way, right?”]

“Oh my, I understand it all too well.”

And so, Shiro-unni, who had confirmed my level of understanding, began to denounce Sea-unni again.

“See, Sea, Naru thinks so too. Is it okay to sexually harass like that, or not?”

“But if you have such a sexy body…”

“Hey, hey, hey! You, you, what have you been listening to?”

However, Sea-unni didn’t seem to care about such things.

As expected, her mindset is different.

“Hmph, whatever. I’m sulking.”

“Oh, then I should draw a picture of me making up with Shiro-unni with an eup eup.”

“…”

[Really crazy b*tch lol]
[This b*tch’s way of walking is just different lol]
[Seriously, how has she not been sued until now lol]

As the viewers said, Sea-unni’s way of walking is really different.

“Hehe, sorry, sorry. I really won’t do it anymore.”

“Really…?”

Hmm… even if she says that, she’ll probably do it again after some time.

But Shiro-unni, who was quite pure for her appearance, seemed to genuinely believe her.

I could envision Shiro-unni getting sexually harassed again and sulking in the future.

But I soon turned my attention off.

Because it wasn’t my business.

Actually, it was also fun to watch Shiro-unni being harassed.

Anyway, we continued to talk.

[“Next up… Jena’s turn?”]

[“Oh, I’ll go first!”]

Choa cleared her throat as if she had something very long to say.

I’m looking forward to what she’ll say.

[“Actually, my first and current impressions are the same… but if I were to summarize it in one word, should I say ‘outcast-loser-timid-nerd-100%-I-gloomy-girl’?”]

[That’s not one word lol]
[A heaping bowl of rice, f*ck lol]
[This bad b*tch]
[How can you kill a person with words?]

My goodness, so you can wield words like a sword.

At the considerable sense of awe I felt, I clapped unconsciously.

Clap-clap-clap

[Naru-naru, what does that clap mean?]
[You’re worse]
[Are you thinking of our Jena as an outcast-loser-timid-nerd-100%-I-gloomy-girl?]

Oh no, I made a mistake.

An action brought on by my subconscious has set the chat window on fire again.

I’ll have to be careful with my unconscious actions from now on.

[“Wh-what do you mean. Our Jena is such a nice person…”]

[Can’t deny it lol]
[Isn’t this just dissing her?]
[lol]

Shiro-unni’s desperate, forced shield didn’t work.

Well, it’s a statement of fact, so it can’t be helped.

In the end, Jena-unni’s impression evaluation only left the image of an outcast-loser-gloomy-girl.

Perhaps because of that, Jena-unni became quieter than usual.

[“Uh, unni, you’re not mad, are you?”]

[“It’s okay… I’ve been hearing it since middle school anyway…”]

[ㅠㅠ]
[No, if you come out like this all of a sudden…]
[The Jerrys are sorry…]
(TL Note: ‘Jerry’ is Jena’s fan name.)

Hmm, so Jena-unni suppresses the viewers like this?

At the sight of ‘cowering Jena’, the Jerrys started to bow their heads.

Thinking it was a pretty good method, I calculated the next turn.

We did Shiro-unni, Choa, Sea-unni, and Jena-unni…

Only I am left.

They won’t say anything weird, will they…?

[“Now only Naru is left, right?”]

…A subtle anxiety began to envelop my entire body.
