Chapter 34 : In Search of a Home (Part 3)

Kim Ji-eun sighed and muttered.

“At this rate, no matter how nicely you take pictures of the house, no one will want to move in.”

I’m not even sure if I can take nice pictures.

No matter what angle I take, this room will look like a pigsty.

“The contract period is still remaining, right?”

“Uh, contract period?”

Sung Shihyun tilted her head.

At that clumsy look, Kim Ji-eun frowned.

“Where’s the contract? Bring the contract.”

At that, Sung Shihyun shivered.

Where’s the contract…?

I couldn’t remember.

I definitely remember checking the contract when I paid the rent last month…?

“That’s….”

“I knew it. The house is in this state, there’s no way things are well organized. Wait, I’ll help you find it.”

Kim Ji-eun sighed again and strode into the room.

And then she carefully looked around here and there and started looking for the contract.

Surprisingly, Kim Ji-eun soon found the contract.

‘I didn’t even dare to look for it….’

Is it because she has experience from streaming for a long time?

Sung Shihyun had ridiculous thoughts and scratched the back of her neck.

“Here.”

“Uh, uh.”

Sung Shihyun took the contract that Kim Ji-eun handed over and unfolded it.

And then I realized a surprising fact.

“Huh?”

The contract period for this studio apartment was one month left!

Why didn’t I notice this when I saw it last month?

“The contract period is almost over? Then that’s good. You don’t have to pay extra brokerage fees, you can just clean up and leave, right?”

“I guess so.”

It was fortunate.

I can leave right away without having to go through the trouble of putting the house up for sale at a real estate agency.

Of course, I might have to pay double rent for about a month, but for Sung Shihyun, who is a lottery second-place owner, that was a loss that could be sufficiently endured.

While Sung Shihyun was thinking about that inwardly, Kim Ji-eun looked around the studio apartment.

A desolate room.

There’s nothing in the cupboard.

Not even a frying pan or a pot!

“…How do you live like this? What do you usually eat?”

“Haha.”

Sung Shihyun smiled awkwardly.

What do I usually eat, huh…

Sung Shihyun’s gaze rolled down to the floor.

Kim Ji-eun also turned her head following that gaze.

At the end of their gaze, there were a few empty bread bags rolling around.

“Oh my god.”

“Haha….”

“Hey, no matter how lazy you are. How can a person live only on bread?”

At that shout, Sung Shihyun cowered and muttered.

“S, sometimes I eat pizza.”

“What kind of idiot in this world lives like that!”

Kim Ji-eun, who shouted, sighed again.

It’s only been 10 minutes since I entered the house, but I don’t know how many times I’ve sighed already.

Kim Ji-eun rubbed her face and muttered.

“What do you spend your money on… You have Mewtube settlement money and quite a lot of donation settlements, too. Don’t tell me you’re investing in stocks? Or coins? Sports betting?”

“Ah, no.”

“…Then why are you like this?”

Kim Ji-eun shook her head.

My goodness, to think she has such a low level of life skills.

It was a truly disastrous level of life skills.

Kim Ji-eun rubbed her forehead and lamented.

“Our sword master Shihyun was an incompetent bum….”

“Bum….”

“Aren’t you?”

“…….”

Sung Shihyun closed her mouth tightly.

Well, there was nothing else to say, so I had no choice.

“Sigh, then shall we go look at rooms first?”

Kim Ji-eun asked with a sigh.

At that question, Sung Shihyun quickly nodded.

As long as I could get out of this pressure, anything was fine.

“Good.”

It’s time to find a new nest.

[-Swish!]

[-Thud!]

[Aaaagh!]

[Y, you crazy! The vanguard was hit!]

[Damn it! What kind of b*tch is this!]

[-Swish!]

Terrible screams echoing through the speakers.

And in line with those screams, a gruesome scene was on the screen.

-Gulp!

The sound of someone swallowing dryly while watching the video echoes.

However, none of the people in the room reacted to that sound.

Everyone was focused on the video.

There were a total of three people watching the video.

They were all focused on the black-haired woman on the screen with stiff faces.

Every time the woman swung her sword, an enemy fell.

No matter how strong the enemy was, she never swung her sword more than five times.

That’s how overwhelming the skill difference between the woman and her opponent was.

And soon the last enemy fell and the video ended.

The video was over and only a black screen was shown, but the three people who were watching the video still couldn’t move from their seats.

And finally.

Someone let out an exclamation mixed with profanity.

“Wow, f*ck.”

As if that was the trigger, sighs and exclamations burst out from all sides simultaneously.

“Hoo.”

“Hyung, what is this? Is this real? Not staged?”

“What section is this? It’s not Bronze or something, is it?”

The three buzzing people turned their heads and looked back.

A man watching them from behind opened his mouth.

“That’s the Diamond section. The top of the Diamond ranks.”

“……!!”

“……!!!”

At that, the three men closed their mouths tightly.

The opposing team is the top of the Diamond ranks?

Those enemies who fell like autumn leaves?

It was a hard story to believe.

But I had no choice but to believe it.

The person who said that was a Master top-tier pro.

It was Kim Kuma (Choi Sangyong).

Kim Kuma is a large Mewtuber with 1 million subscribers on Mewtube.

There’s no reason for him to talk nonsense about useless things.

In other words, those words are true.

But even so, the three were half in doubt.

It was inevitable.

What kind of game is Arfellium?

Isn’t it a game that systemically makes smurfing impossible because they pathologically hate it?

But this kind of smurfing is possible in Arfellium?

Does that make sense?

“Since when did Arfellium become a Chinese-style Musou game? Was there a patch we didn’t know about?”

Range Shot (Lee Haseong), who is a Mewtuber like Kim Kuma, asked.

At that question, Kim Kuma shrugged.

“I don’t know? There was no patch or anything.”

“But how is that possible?”

“I told you, I don’t know.”

Kim Kuma, who shrugged, muttered with a sullen face.

“But, that’s real. I was beaten too.”

At that, the faces of the other three hardened for a moment.

“Excuse me?”

“T, that means….”

“Yeah. The one in the video, they’re in the Master tier now. No, they’ll probably go up to Grand-master soon anyway. I wonder why a truck is driving even in Master….”

“Hoo….”

At that, Range Shot let out a hollow laugh.

Then, Gentry (Kang Yoonil), who is also a streamer, scratched his head and asked.

“But hyung, why are you showing us this?”

“That’s….”

At that moment, Son Jaehyuk, who was a video editor and manager next to Gentry, asked Kim Kuma with a face that seemed to have remembered something.

“Ah, I just remembered. They’re the one on Euning’s stream, right?”

“Euning? Ji-eun noona?”

“They appeared on Ji-eun’s stream?”

Then people react immediately.

Kim Kuma nodded silently.

“It’s the one who’s streaming with Ji-eun now.”

“Then they, are they a streamer? What, a pro?”

Gentry asked in surprise.

At that question, Son Jaehyuk shook his head.

“No, as far as I know, they’re a complete civilian. They don’t stream either.”

“Then why do they appear on Ji-eun noona’s stream?”

“They met by chance, and after that, they became close and became almost a fixed guest, I think? I think they’ll probably stream later, judging from what they said.”

Son Jaehyuk said that, and then quickly turned his head and looked at Kim Kuma.

“Hyung, don’t tell me?”

“Yeah. Anyway, if they’re connected to Ji-eun and streaming, it’s right to bring them to our agency. The CEO told me to do it. He told me to make an opportunity.”

“Wow, then a big rookie is coming in. Their face is no joke, and if their skills are this good… That’s good. Hyung, didn’t you get stocks when you signed the contract? Our Sangyong hyung will make some money.”

“Wow, then I should get an autograph later. It’s a video of a person being cut, but their beauty is wow… It’s like looking at a celebrity.”

While Gentry was sparkling his eyes, Range Shot, who was standing behind, narrowed his forehead.

“But that’s the company’s story. It doesn’t have much to do with us, does it?”

It doesn’t have anything to do with us, so why did you show it to us?

At Range Shot’s question, Kim Kuma grinned.

“Of course, we have to bring them into our crew. Anyway, the Tricky event will be held soon, right? I’m thinking of joining as a team at that time.”

“That’s….”

At Kim Kuma’s boast, Range Shot blinked.

Soon, Range Shot nodded slowly.

“…It would work. The tournament schedule hasn’t come out yet. If they belong to our company, the possibility of becoming a team will increase. Of course, we have to ask their opinion.”

“Yeah. But I think it will work if we persuade Ji-eun. They seem to be very close.”

“Wow, then can we win the tournament? We always went out and got 4th place.”

At Gentry’s words, Kim Kuma glanced away.

He looked at Sung Shihyun on the screen and smiled faintly.

“Yeah, we can win.”

If Sung Shihyun is on our side.
