Ch.145140 – Passing the Bomb

“You’ve been publicly executing me all this time! They say enemies meet on a narrow bridge! Come at me, NoName!”

The girl with Wolverine claws attached to her hands growled even before the game started.

Her long hair, two-toned black and white, fell to her waist.

Though she wore an adorable animal hoodie, its identity wasn’t easy to determine. At first glance, it looked like a mole or beaver.

-lololol you mean mortal enemies, right?

-What are you saying, Kariri!

-She’s saying she’ll cripple you, damn

-LMAOOOOO

-But Kariri, you sniped her first!

-The predicted narrow bridge encounter hahaha

└ Wait, she set this up herself? hahaha

-Are streamers allowed to just snipe like this?

-She actually pulled it off!

-GREAT Riri! GREAT Riri! GREAT Riri! GREAT Riri!

“You don’t know how I felt when I couldn’t take down that video! I’m going to tear NoName into six pieces!”

The VTuber “Kariri,” who used a honey badger concept, had been nursing her grudge against NoName for about ten days.

It was about her Japanese anime cover songs that she’d been uploading since middle school.

While these videos had greatly contributed to making Kariri a popular VTuber, they were also her dark history.

Still, VTube’s algorithm was good enough that people who weren’t interested in that content would likely never see it.

But when NoName kept playing her songs as stream opening music, they eventually spread to viewers who had no immunity to otaku culture.

The comment section, which had mostly consisted of wholesome comments from elementary school kids, quickly filled with trolling comments and hate from internet veterans.

When Kariri accidentally heard about this, she read each comment carefully, suffered emotional damage, and ended up staying awake all night, making her six hours late for her stream the next day.

“With this team, we can definitely win. Everyone, fighting! Hehehe… Welcome to hell, NoName!”

“Wait, Kariri, did you come here just to snipe her?”

She had abandoned all her content the moment NoName announced she was playing casual games.

And luck was always on her side.

Successfully sniping NoName in the first match, Kariri checked the gap between her team and the opponents and smiled wickedly.

[Nocturne Nylink vs Friedrich Crown Prince]

[Map: Arsheria’s Forest]

[Friedrich Crown Prince has joined your team.]

[Capture points to secure advantageous positions.]

While she might not be confident in other games, World of Arsheria was one she was good enough at to maintain Platinum rank.

Normally, she wouldn’t want to face an opponent with such an extreme power difference, but today was different.

“Right, just once, if I kill her just once, it counts as Kariri’s victory!”

-Why did you decide that? lol

-Don’t make up rules as you go hahaha

-Getting 1 kill on NoName would be a lifetime achievement though

-If not now, you’ll literally never meet her

-Wow, why are there so many NoName viewers? Kariri’s blowing up

└ Who is she? Is she famous?

-Let’s gooooo~!

Kariri had heard about NoName from her younger brother, who was a fan.

She was an ecosystem destroyer who showed exceptional skill in gaming.

Moreover, the character she was using now had a combat power that had broken the world ranking record.

The team members, who tacitly agreed to help take down NoName, split into groups of two or three to find her, thinking they could easily win if they took the initiative early.

But as Kariri’s status window turned red and the foreground turned gray, it became difficult even to see viewer reactions.

[2 kills 10 deaths 4 assists]

“Why! Arggghhhhhh!”

“Stop feeding! You’re just making NoName stronger!”

-NoName is seriously insane lol

-How long has she been camping there?

-Infinite power with self-healing, damn

-Why can’t six people take down one healer?

They thought they would win easily after winning the first objective team fight.

Although NoName disappeared in the middle and they couldn’t increase their kill count, the game itself was going smoothly.

However, NoName, who succeeded in taking the remaining two neutral points after giving up the objective, defeated Kariri’s teammates one by one and sent them back to the respawn point.

“Get out there quickly! You’re the tank!”

“What do you want me to do? I’ll be cut down in 5 seconds if I go out.”

“I’m telling you to go out because you can last 5 seconds. We get cut down in 1 second!”

“What’s the point of me tanking if the DPS can’t do damage? Question mark.”

“This crazy socially maladjusted monthly game ghost is actually saying ‘question mark’ out loud!”

As you can see, the team’s condition was also desperate.

“My… my revenge ends so pathetically…?”

And with the appearance of the ruthless player who mercilessly cut their throats as soon as they came out of the respawn point, no one wanted to step forward.

[Unique(★★): Blue team has killed Alphonse Schipott!]

The second objective had just been hunted.

And NoName, facing six opponents, was getting stronger without even farming.

[NoName(Priest): 38/0/4]

[Combat Power: 39572]

“It’s only 15 minutes into the game, this is too much!”

-She must have at least 6,000 gold in her pocket, and already 40k power? Are you kidding?

-Look at these Platinums being confused lol

-The intimidation is no joke, insane

-I just figured out how to beat NoName

└ What is it?

└ Just keep avoiding her without giving her a kill. The moment you give her 1 kill, surrender and you can claim moral victory

└ Damn lol

└ Hahaha this match is already doomed

-Kariri, let’s just surrender T_T

-We gave up kills too easily at the start

“Huh? Where’s NoName going?”

“Good, let’s get out quickly in this gap!”

[Yggdrasil has begun growing in each camp.]

And the great tree that grows from the 15-minute mark in the game.

NoName, who had already destroyed all the weapons protecting Yggdrasil with her teammates, ended it before the third objective could even appear, and Kariri’s revenge seemed to end pathetically.

[Victory]

[Time: 19:44]

[NoName(Priest): 45/0/6]

“Victory… We won…! We actually won this!”

The boy trembled, still feeling the thrill of battle.

“Why haven’t I tried this god-tier game World of Arsheria before? I feel like I’ve missed out on half my life.”

“Multiplayer is really amazing! My heart is racing.”

They couldn’t believe the result and stayed in the waiting room for a long time.

Especially the man holding the zweihander shifted his gaze sideways.

It wasn’t just him.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman.

She had rallied her allies and cut straight through what seemed like a hopeless game.

The woman who dove into the suddenly collapsed formation and beheaded the enemy leaders one by one then assigned tasks to her allies.

Everything was clumsy at first, but thanks to her meticulous command, they could see the enemy’s solid fortress gradually crumbling.

And the victory they achieved.

Not knowing she had ignited a fire in the newbies’ hearts, Name turned her head and met their gaze.

“We won, didn’t we?”

For a moment, the five people felt as if there was a halo shining behind her head.

Joy and fulfillment bubbled up in their chests.

Above all, the face of the woman greeting them with a smile was more beautiful than anyone else’s.

“Are you serious, NoName? How can you carry a game like this and still be so calm?”

“How is this even your main character…”

Some shouted with joy at the victory, while others were disappointed at the difference in talent, showing various reactions.

And the middle-aged man who caught his breath approached Name, offering a handshake and asking:

“You’re streaming? Can I know your active nickname?”

“Hey, bro! Even in virtual reality, these days people don’t just—”

Name took the man’s hand without hesitation.

“NoName. I’m NoName, streaming on Twissy.”

“Thanks for the great experience. I appreciate it.”

“No problem.”

After the intense fan meeting that followed, Name tried to leave the waiting room quickly.

However, the girl in the honey badger hood appeared again. She was also the unfortunate girl who had died 13 times to Name.

Name recognized her and tilted her head, but Kariri stood proudly in front of her and confronted her.

“Hmm? Ah.”

“Yes, it’s me! Kariri!”

“Yes… I’ve seen you in videos a few times before.”

“After making me die 18 times…! No, that’s not it. My song video! How long are you going to use it as your opening song? It’s so embarrassing!”

Kariri stomped her feet.

Name scratched her head awkwardly.

“But your voice is similar to mine, Kariri.”

“That was my voice from 4 years ago… and it was auto-tuned! It’s not even my real voice?”

“Should I stop using it then?”

“No!”

“…?”

“Instead, would you like to collab with me? Then I’ll let you use any song I’ve sung whenever you want!”

She said with her chest out and eyes sparkling.

“No thanks.”

“Whaaaat? Why, why? Why on earth?”

“I just don’t want to. If it makes you uncomfortable, I won’t use the video.”

“No wait-!”

Name firmly rejected Kariri’s plea and quickly left the waiting room.

As they say, there’s no paradise where you run to, and now she had to deal with her fired-up viewers.

-Ah Namen-

-Twissy’s youngest partner streamer, damn

The milk was already spilled.

Since the game system had clearly identified her as under 15, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Name stretched out and let out a long yawn.

After a very long time, Name looked directly at the camera and waved her palm wide open.

“Yaaawn. See you next time. I have to go to school tomorrow.”

[Kariri’s Broadcast]

-Kariri, did you hear? NoName is 14 years old?

“Eh? What do you mean-“

[NoName has hosted you with 19,038 viewers!]

And it was none other than Kariri who received NoName’s viewers, who were not just burning but on the verge of explosion after being properly stoked.
