Ch.158153 – Joint Broadcast

*gulp*

As the capsule door closed, the girl folded her hands neatly over her navel and slowly closed her eyes.

Her chest rose and fell repeatedly with deep diaphragmatic breathing.

Kariri had made all possible preparations.

She was someone who had gained popularity through collaborations with numerous streamers, influencers, and celebrities.

It was merely adding one more person to that list, yet Kariri, standing in the waiting room, kept shaking one leg nervously.

“Let’s do this well.”

She slapped both cheeks to regain her focus.

The moment the stream starts, all her anxiety washes away like waves receding from shore.

-Otter greeting! Kariri, why are you so early today?

“Otter greeting! Thank you AsMuchAsLiriAsMuchAsKa for the 10,000 won! Thank you! Right? Why am I here so early? What made me come early? Was it because I missed my Honey Bee citizens?”

Viewers’ reactions varied.

Kariri personally hoped more people would call her cute, but sadly, the relationship between her and her viewers was closer to that of long-term partners.

-Stop being clingy~

-Step aside Kariri, we can’t see the teddy bear behind you!

-Who are you scrimming with today?

-What’s the surprise event? Aren’t you playing World of Arsheria now?

“Does nobody care about me? Today I made a major style change to feel something new. Can’t you really tell what’s different about me? Huh? Huh?”

She waited for viewers’ reactions, giving herself some time to build up anticipation.

Most responded by throwing question mark hooks, indicating they couldn’t tell.

-(Question mark shape)

A yellow question mark cushion suddenly appeared and dropped onto Kariri’s head.

“Gah! Wait, 3D emoticon donations are banned for today’s stream! Hold on, I’ll go change the settings.”

Thankfully this donation happened early, or it might have affected the guest.

After finishing the settings, Kariri returned to the camera view and finally took off her hood.

“That’s right! Today I’m wearing twin tails!”

-How are we supposed to know when you’re wearing a hood, Kariri!

-LMAO

-Whew, almost lost my 4-year soup qualification

-Twin tails after so long, cute!

“Still don’t get it? Have you all lost your touch? You can’t even recognize the main content of Kariri’s channel! Two syllables, two syllables.”

-???

-Stream end?

└ LOLOL

-What was the main content of this channel again?

-WoA

-Live chat?

“Who said stream end! Not at all! It’s not WoA either, that would be abbreviated as WoA anyway. Collab, collab! Why doesn’t anyone know!”

-Collab?

-There wasn’t any announcement

-You haven’t done a collab in months, how would we know!

-?????? Is it really a collab? With who?

-Scrim is in two hours though?

-Already jealous of the National Exchange team…!

-Are twin tails a hint?

“Oh, sharp! Twin tails, that’s right. Today I’m doing a collab with someone who has twin tails.”

Kariri already had a scrim scheduled with another team at 6 PM, two hours later.

There was no way she’d invite a guest for a collab in such a short time, so it was highly likely the person was among those participating in the National Exchange Competition.

And among them, almost no one had twin tails, and considering Kariri had been consistently pursuing a certain individual recently, the list could be narrowed down.

-Whoa, NoName?

-For real?

-Nice

-She did it! She actually did it! She actually did it!

-Twissy’s unranked duo cross!

Kariri shrugged her shoulders and nodded lightly.

Then she brought the camera closer, filling the screen with her face.

“So everyone! Today, really! Please! So much! I’m begging you. NoName is only fourteen years old. It’ll be a disaster if you act like usual. You understand what I’m saying, right?”

-What does “like usual” mean? lol

-????

-Not sure what you mean haha

-The standard of normal is already skewed www

[User ‘Yui0284’ donated 10,000 won!]

-Just treat her like a normal 8th grader, right Kariri?

“Yeah, like a normal middle schooler-“

[Video share – ‘Ratelfan’ shared for 15,000 won!]

(Middle school Kariri cursing compilation (16-20).mp4)

“Yeah, don’t say nonsense like this! In front of a kid! Got it? And please delete this video, please… huuung huung… I’m begging you…”

-LOLOLOLOL

-But you said this yourself! lol

-Never-ending karma lol

-Everyone finds out eventually

-Truth cannot be hidden

-You can’t cover the sky with your palm

[User ‘OsoriNe’ donated 2,000 won!]

-By the way Kariri, whose idea was the team name “The Blory”?

“Oh, about that! Remember when we reviewed that drama together with viewers? There was a little kid there who looked really similar to NoName, right?”

[NoName has entered the room.]

“When I first saw NoName’s avatar, I was like… whoa! A loli! A totally S-class ultra kawaii real JS! That’s all I could think of, so I just came up with it! Isn’t Kariri a total genius?”

“Loli?”

“Hieeeeeek! W-when did you get here…!”

* * *

“What’s a loli?”

Wasn’t our team name “The Blurry”?

Blurry, literally meaning “unclear.”

Kariri is a tank but plays the assassin class.

The more I play World of Arsheria, the more I realize that tanks always become the center of the team.

So whether we liked it or not, we had to adapt our team style to Kariri’s style, which is why I thought the team name was chosen well.

Kariri was desperately trying to block the chat window with her body.

“No, NoName, don’t look here! Turn around quickly!”

-It’s “Double Loli” they say

-LOLOLOLOLOL

-Wow, you tricked NoName?

-Are you guys even human

-Kariri, you’re pure evil!

-Realistically, she wouldn’t have agreed anyway

But it’s clearly difficult to cover such a large screen with her small frame.

“So what’s a loli? I don’t think it’s referring to a truck.”

I’d heard that extremely skilled players in games are called trucks, but that didn’t seem right.

“That’s…!”

At my words, Kariri flinched and started avoiding my gaze.

I crossed my arms and looked back and forth between her comedy show and the chat window several times until Kariri finally confessed honestly.

“A cute little girl…?”

“Really? Then why hide it?”

“With somewhat sexual connotations…”

-NoName’s giving her that look of contempt lol

-Looks like the collab is ruined, let’s blow it up

-It’s not the collab that’s about to explode, it’s the team!

-Honestly, isn’t Kariri past the age to be called a loli…

-Past glory lol

“Anywaaaaay, ta-da! Today’s collab partner is NoName! Everyone, give a big round of applause!”

Kariri clapped exaggeratedly to divert attention.

Well, I kind of understand now. I sighed deeply and decided to ask lightly about what we were going to do today.

“So what are we doing today?”

“Umm… actually, today’s collab was decided suddenly, so I didn’t have much time to think. Oh right, everyone, I’ve arranged to do a 2-hour collab with NoName for 5 days in a row!”

“What? You didn’t tell me that either?”

“Big sis is sorry… huuung…”

-NoName’s personality is totally cynical lol

-100% cool type

-You can hit our Kariri more!

-This is how our Kariri should be treated

“Then tell me what you usually do with other people during collabs.”

“Eeeh… usually we have a lot of Q&A time?”

-Protect NoName!

-Is there someone who spouts insults at guests?

-???: Why do you look so old compared to your face? (Said upon first meeting)

└ Was that to LK? lol

└ That’s just saying “you look young for your age” backwards lol

-???: You seem like the type gangsters would like (To a current idol)

-Pepero game proposal lol

└ LOL but isn’t that legal?

└ Huh?

└ Oh, it really is?

└ Is there anyone immune to Pepero game proposals?

“What’s happening?”

Kariri suddenly jumped up and rummaged through a drawer in the corner of the room.

*tap tap*

*rustle*

With the sound of unwrapping something, she put a thin stick in her mouth and pointed to her lips.

“Wanna play the Pepero game with me?” (spoken with the stick in her mouth)

[User ‘AltTabMaster’ donated 10,000 won!]

-You crazy woman!

[User ‘GladToSeeYouLikeIt’ donated 3,000 won!]

-She’s actually doing it, I’m losing my mind lololol

*snap*

With the barrage of donations, Kariri’s white teeth visible between her small lips snapped the snack in half.

“Ah, NoName, I wasn’t really going to do it…! I was just showing you what it’s like.”

She chewed what went into her mouth while shouting loudly.

“I think you’re the first big sister I’ve met who so actively uses her minor status.”

“Gasp…!”

So this is how she’s been tormenting her guests all this time.

Since she’s a high school student too, she must be flustered hearing this face to face.

I survived just now because I’m also a minor.

-Nice

-Wow, she speaks so precisely lol

-She really must be a genius lol

-You’ve been lucky they were all adults until now, Kariri!

I had to cut the small talk before it dragged on longer.

Somehow I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d get swept up in it if I kept spacing out.

“Let’s just jump into ranked games.”

“Huh? Ranked games?”

“Yeah. This week’s goal is to reach Diamond.”

“Diamond? I’m Platinum 3, absolutely not! No way!”

“Then I’ll give you Q&A question rights for each game we win. Deal?”

“What if you don’t answer? Can I give you a penalty?”

“Do whatever you want…”

“Alright, let’s go!”
