Chapter 21: The Swordsmanship Genius Is Also Good at Hunting Monsters (Part 3)

But what can you do?

Spilled words cannot be retrieved.

‘Ah, ah…….’

Ji-eun barely turned her trembling eyes to look at the chat window.

She knew very well what the chat window would be like.

But seeing it with your own eyes is different from imagining it.

And as expected, the chat window was a mess.

[She’ll teach you LOL]

[ Just trust me and follow me, I’ll teach you well.]

[What will she teach, she’s at a level where she needs to learn LOL]

[Hey, don’t tease the gallery owner too much. Did the gallery owner say that Sword Master Shihyun couldn’t catch monsters, or did she say that she, a third-rate player, would teach something to a super-top-tier expert? The gallery owner is innocent.]

[She’s not innocent, she’s probably brainless LOL]

[A puppy who doesn’t know a tiger LOL]

[As expected of our gallery owner, she never disappoints us.]

The chat window is having a festival, chewing, tearing, and tasting Ji-eun’s blunder.

Ji-eun covered her face with both hands.

She was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to see anything.

She wanted to crawl into a mouse hole.

“Are you okay?”

“……Shihyun, did you do that on purpose?”

“What?”

“You’re good at catching monsters! Why did you just let me say all that nonsense! The viewers are teasing me and calling me an idiot! You actually have an alternate account, right? Right? You have one, right?”

At those words, Shihyun made a troubled expression.

Alternate account? I don’t have one.

The reason Shihyun is good at catching monsters is simply because she has already done it countless times in another world.

Since she’s already sick of slicing monsters, of course she’s good at it.

“I’m really doing this for the first time.”

But Shihyun couldn’t tell Ji-eun that fact.

It couldn’t be helped.

I’ve played World for the first time, so even if I say that I’m good at catching monsters, she’ll only be suspicious.

“Then how are you so good at it!”

Of course, the current monster slaughter is also suspicious and doesn’t make sense, but that could be glossed over somehow.

“Maybe it’s because I’m a genius.”

The so-called genius concept!

I’m good at it because I’m a genius!

I had no choice but to go with this.

‘I can’t say I’ve done it in another world.’

I had no choice but to bluff like this.

Ji-eun’s face contorted at Shihyun’s words.

“Wow…… you’re so annoying. Don’t say that to other people. You’ll get stoned.”

“Can I say it to Ji-eun?”

“I also have stones.”

Shihyun burst out laughing at those words.

At that, Ji-eun jumped up and down in place.

She seems quite upset.

“Why are you laughing? You’re making fun of me, right! You’re evil!”

“Hehe.”

“Ugh, that’s too much! Hey, you guys stop teasing me now! How long are you going to tease me? I’ll suppress you all?”

[Loyalty loyalty ]

The chat room is instantly filled with pledges of allegiance at Ji-eun’s threat.

Even then, Ji-eun was still not completely appeased, and she looked at the chat room with a hawk’s eye.

It was to see if there was anyone crossing the line.

But perhaps noticing Ji-eun’s murderous intent, the chat room was peaceful with only loyalty loyalty.

Ji-eun, who had been staring at the chat room for a long time, sighed.

“Sigh. Well, honestly, it’s not something I didn’t expect at all. I also thought Shihyun would be good at catching monsters, yes! I expected it!”

[Lie ON]

[Look at her, lying as soon as she opens her mouth.]

[Lying is a part of this streamer’s everyday life……]

[She’s so used to fabricating memories that it’s become a habit, for real.]

[If the gallery owner says so, then it must be so~~~~~]

“Shut up, all of you! If I say so, then it is!”

Ji-eun, who silenced the chat room with a single lion’s roar, turned her head and looked at Shihyun.

And then she smiled wickedly.

“Hehehe, Shihyun, you’re good at catching anything anyway, right?”

Shihyun realized that there was a hidden conspiracy in Ji-eun’s smile.

But, even if it was a conspiracy, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a big deal, so Shihyun decided to play along.

Because she already thought that Ji-eun was a bit of a fool.

“Yes? Well…… I guess so. Probably.”

At that answer, Ji-eun’s face lit up.

“Then there’s another place to go. Come on, let’s go!”

And then she took the lead and started walking out of the cave.

Shihyun quietly looked at her back, then shook her head and followed Ji-eun.

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of watermelons bursting echoed in the cave.

It was the sound of Ji-eun blowing off the heads of the Ratmen.

The Ratmen are being blown away coolly.

It’s truly a scene of slaughter.

I watched Ji-eun carefully, and then I muttered to myself.

‘It’s definitely hard to see it as martial arts.’

That was the conclusion I reached after examining her combat.

Ji-eun’s fighting style was definitely not martial arts.

Of course, the Ratmen she’s currently fighting are too weak for Ji-eun, so she might not be using any techniques, but even so, she swung the sword too mindlessly.

‘It’s clear that she has no understanding of swordsmanship.’

Or maybe she didn’t learn it properly.

I was suspicious that Ji-eun had been taught swordsmanship by some random amateur swordsman who came from who knows where.

Unless that’s the case, those mindless movements didn’t make sense.

I should at least check……

“Ji-eun.”

“Yes, Shihyun! What is it?”

Ji-eun, who was going ahead and blowing up the Ratmen, turned her head and looked at me.

I crossed my arms and asked her.

“Who did you learn swordsmanship from?”

“Huh? My swordsmanship?”

“Yes, it seems like you learned from someone a bit strange. Your posture is like that, and your steps are also a bit awkward. Did you pay money to learn? Then you seem to have been scammed…….”

I spoke cautiously.

Because she might respect the person who is her teacher.

Of course, the fact that that person is at swordsmanship remains unchanged.

But something is strange.

“…….”

Ji-eun hesitated and couldn’t answer my question.

A reaction as if she had something to be ashamed of.

The chat window also started to scroll up rapidly.

I glanced at the chat window.

[Ah LOL where did she learn it LOL]

[Did a ‘person’ teach you that?]

[It’s not a person]

[I knew she’d get into this kind of trouble someday LOL]

[LOL]

[Why did you learn like that? LOL]

[You should have gone to an academy…….]

Chats teasing Ji-eun as usual.

But the content is somewhat unusual.

‘What?’

As I blinked my eyes, unable to understand the meaning, I heard a voice that seemed to crawl in from afar.

“……I learned……from…….”

The owner of that voice was Kim Ji-eun.

She twisted her body with a face as red as a tomato and didn’t know what to do.

Soon she muttered in a small voice.

“I learned…… from watching videos on Mewtube(mutuber)…….”

“…….”

“B-But I made it to Platinum with this, so I’m talented, right? Right, guys?”

[Talent(less)]

[Ah LOL The all-knowing Sword Master Shihyun already said that she’s, so what talent are you talking about]

[Amateur swordsmanship LOL]

“Ah, shut up!”

Seeing Ji-eun yelling at the chat window, I shook my head.

She learned swordsmanship from Mewtube.

‘That’s not called learning swordsmanship…….’

Unfortunately, it seems that Ji-eun was an amateur swordsman.

Perhaps because my reaction was a bit shocking, Ji-eun made a gloomy expression.

I comforted her with an awkward face.

“Still, you seem to have quite good athleticism. Seeing that you’ve reached a high tier with that kind of swordsmanship.”

[‘That kind of swordsmanship’]

[Shihyun sister, does this mean that the gallery owner has been playing like with a really good body until now, right?]

[Platinum: High tier]

[Ah LOL It’s high if it’s the top 14%~~~~~~~]

But my comfort was distorted by the viewer’s chat.

Ji-eun looked at me with a face that said, ‘How could you’.

Her eyes were glistening like those of a deer.

Deer…… I want to eat venison.

“No, that…….”

“It’s okay. I knew Shihyun would think so too. I am. I’m a fool who learns swordsmanship from Mewtube. I’m a lazy streamer who doesn’t even go to an academy.”

[That’s true.]

[It’s rare for the gallery owner to say something right.]

[Did she finally attain enlightenment?]

“……I’m going to ban you all.”

[^^7]

[Loyalty loyalty ^^7]

Ji-eun, who took a deep breath for a moment, changed her expression again and looked at me.

Only then did I realize that all of this was exaggerated acting for the broadcast.

‘This is how broadcasting is done.’

I feel like I learned something important.

I nodded and looked at Ji-eun.

“Then have we arrived at our destination now?”

“Yes. That’s right. Shihyun, do you know where we’ve been going until now?”

“Yes, well…….”

I scratched my cheek and smacked my lips.

I already knew the internal structure of this cave when I conquered it in ‘that world’.

And in terms of common sense, it’s obvious what will come out if you go inside such a deep dungeon.

“The boss room, right?”

Boss room.

That’s right. We were now going to conquer the boss of this dungeon.
