Chapter 126: I just wanted to make friends

Oh Dae-shik, 28 years old.

A man with a height of 176cm and a weight of 67kg.

Viewers expect him to be one of the many public-service streamers on Switch, but surprisingly, he has completed his military service.

What’s more, he’s from the White Horse Division.

One year as a college student before enlisting, and after being discharged,
he took a leave of absence from college and has been streaming continuously since he was 24.

He has invested about 5 years in broadcasting.

He moved to Switch two years ago.

Before that, he mainly broadcasted on Yellow City via the continent.

Broadcasting with the somewhat mischievous and rough Yellow City viewers is not an easy task.

If you agree with the viewers and say the wrong thing, it can cause controversy, and if you’re too careful, you can’t satisfy their needs.

However, Oh Dae-shik has been maintaining that middle ground and has been broadcasting safely for several years, and there were words to describe him.

The Guardian of Yellow City, The Last Light of Yellow City, The Warden of the Underworld, etc…
As with any experienced broadcaster, new memes and new nicknames were created every time he broadcasted.

One of those nicknames was Beauty Detector.

It was a slightly different type of name compared to the previous nicknames.

The reason was trivial.

Dae-shik participated in the G-Star event and suddenly appeared on a female streamer’s outdoor broadcast.

It was a short conversation that wasn’t even worth calling an appearance.

A beautiful small-time female streamer saw Dae-shik, who was a big streamer, and was happy and said, “I’m a fan.”

What was unusual was Dae-shik’s reaction.

He couldn’t even make eye contact with the female streamer and only answered the questions with short, terse answers.

His slightly reddened ears were a bonus.

-Dae-shik, did you come to the event today too?
-Ah, yes. Well… that’s right. Yes.
-Are you sick somewhere?
-No, no, I’m fine. Thank you for your hard work, I’ll be going!

As the female streamer approached, he stuttered and quickly retreated.

That short clip spread within Switch, and Dae-shik earned the nickname Beauty Detector.

Where did the macho Oh Dae-shik, who used to control the viewers, go and what is this cherry boy?

Dae-shik expressed it as a dark history, but the people’s reactions were not bad.

Some even said it was cute.

For a while, the term Switch Nerd Man also spread, and he even achieved the feat of ranking high in the male streamer World Cup.

What did we learn from this episode?

Viewers noticed that the human being Oh Dae-shik was more popular than they thought.

Whenever he took a break, they would joke that he got a girlfriend or was going to a club.

But now that joke has turned out to be true.

[Explain explain explain explain explain explain]
[Dae-shik, Mollru is not allowed, please]
[Dae-shik is thinking of you… Dae-shik is thinking of you… Dae-shik is thinking of you…]
[Alpha male Oh Dae-shik did it again]
[I’m going to kill you I’m going to kill you I’m going to kill you I’m going to kill you]
[IsOhDaesikOkayIsOhDaesikOkayIsOhDaesikOkay]
[What’s going on between the two of you]
[MollDae-shik ㄷㄷ This is going to be a hit]
[Where did the beauty detector Oh Dae-shik go]
[It’s been five years since he became beauty-bombing-alpha male Oh Dae-shik, don’t look for him]

“No…”

Dae-shik, who had been blank for a while, came to his senses first.

He had already drawn aggro by putting Mollru’s name in the stream title and saying they would do a collaboration.

Mollru had also hosted his channel on her stream, so the number of people who flocked in in real time was over 10,000.

Those people’s reactions were not unreasonable.

There was enough plausibility in the human being Mollru’s appearance.

That’s why he had been careful all this time.

He had pretended not to know even when Mollru’s story came up in the chat.

He never thought that things would turn out like this with one mistake.

To be exact, Dae-shik didn’t make any mistakes.

It’s just that Mollru suddenly appeared and made a bombshell statement.

Maybe it was a mistake to call Mollru in the first place.

Is this person crazy? Suddenly saying something like that.

Dae-shik wasn’t ashamed or confused by hearing those words.

The days when he was shy after hearing a word had already passed, and he didn’t think there was any reason for the person Mollru to say such a thing to him.

He just wanted to quickly resolve the situation.

“We’re not like that. We’re not like that. I think Mollru said something wrong. Mollru?”
“Yes.”
“Say something… What are you eating?”

-Crunch.

A strange sound was heard over Mollru’s microphone, who answered in a nonchalant tone.

The sound of crushing something hard into small pieces in her mouth.

“It’s the peanuts I ate at the company dinner last time… They’re more delicious than I thought. They say it’s for snacks, but it’s good to eat when you’re bored. Should I order some for Dae-shik too?”
“No, I’m fine. More than that, what did you mean by what you said earlier?”
“What?”

Even after seeing this chaotic chat, she doesn’t know? Or is she pretending not to know?

I was frustrated, but I couldn’t get angry. Only Mollru’s evaluation in Dae-shik’s mind dropped by one level.

Mollru, who was cracking peanuts like a squirrel, slowly continued to speak as if she had finally checked the chat.

“Ah, I don’t know what. You guys, don’t make such a fuss.”

[MakeAFuss?MakeAFuss?MakeAFuss?MakeAFuss?]
[How can you not make a fuss when you tell a man you were thinking of him?]
[Ah ㅋㅋ She’s telling you not to make a fuss, guys]
[So what does it mean?]
[Do you want to see the simps go crazy?]

“I was really just thinking about you because I was reminded of you, and then I got a call by chance. So I said that, but there’s no special meaning?”

[You have to say something that makes sense lololol]
[Explain the secret relationship]
[I’m disappointed]
[The excuse is so insincere that it seems real]
[Lol ㄹㅇ]

“What reason do I have to lie? I’m telling you as it is. You don’t believe me? Don’t believe me if you don’t want to. What can I say if you don’t believe me.”

Mollru, who said that, called Dae-shik as if she had finished cleaning up the situation.

“I’ll go into Aeowor, Dae-shik. Let’s play a duo for now.”
“Ah, yes.”

The chat was still not very calm, but it was at least better than before, and Mollru, who was crunching peanuts, didn’t seem to care about it.

It’s not like we’re elementary school students, asking if there’s something going on just because a man and a woman are talking to each other.

If you come out like this, only the people involved will be uncomfortable. It’s the same right now.

My plan to build a relationship with Dae-shik was on the verge of falling through.

Maybe it’s because he felt awkward because of what happened earlier, but Dae-shik didn’t open his mouth.

But apart from that, the game was going smoothly.

“The assassin is going around to the back, be careful.”
“I’ll watch. Please watch the front line.”

As I smoothly turned the mouse according to Dae-shik’s order, the screen rapidly changed according to the high sensitivity.

An assassin who was going around the back of the castle and aiming for the back of our allies came into view.

I waited a little while holding the scope in my hand.

The body of the masked man was revealed, and it was when he hastily ran towards our allies.

Taang-!

The sniper rifle spat fire and pierced the man’s head. I killed him with one shot with a headshot.

I was a little worried because it was my first time in a while, but it seems like I haven’t lost my touch.

“Assassin cut. I’ll join you from now on.”
“…It’s definitely easier.”

Dae-shik’s next words made me a little proud.

For me, who has some gaming pride, praise for being good at games is something I never get tired of hearing.

I wondered if Dae-shik wouldn’t want to have a friend who is good at games like this.

“Teacher, are you not planning on turning on your stream?”
“Stream? Why?”
“People are saying they want to see the teacher’s perspective.”

After thinking for a while, I answered.

That was the original purpose.

Today was one of the few rest days of the week, and I came to play games with Dae-shik because he called me, not to stream.

Also, there was also to figure out his problem of his tier dropping.

If I turn on the stream, I can’t help but pay attention to things.

Today, I was just planning on playing games with my friend comfortably.

“Then, could you at least release the hosting? People keep coming in because they’re riding on Mollru’s stream. There are over 20,000 people right now…”

At Dae-shik’s words to release the hosting, I released the hosting that was set on the stream.

But would this be meaningful? It seems like everyone who was going to come has already come.

The fact that I’m playing games with Dae-shik on his stream has already spread to most communities.

-Gallery Master Oh Dae-shik’s stream is out www.switch.5dasick/ ㄱㄱ Like that.

Still, well… Dae-shik will be more skilled at dealing with malicious viewers than I am, so it will work out somehow.

I just had to play games with Dae-shik as originally planned.

“We won.”

Dae-shik’s voice, saying that, was trembling weakly as if he was thrilled by the long-awaited victory.

“This is easy…”

I reviewed the game just now.

There were no big problems with Dae-shik’s play.

I should say that it was the play of an average user worthy of that tier.

The problem is that Dae-shik’s current tier is Diamond.

It’s lower than when he was putting up titles saying Oh Dae-shik is going to Grand Master.

To be honest, it’s right to see that his form has dropped.

“Um, should we do one more game?”

Dae-shik, who seemed to be unable to forget the victory he had just tasted, suggested to me that we play one more game.

It seemed like he couldn’t see the talk in the chat about how good Mollru’s bus was or that it was pathetic.

Originally, the victory you get after a losing streak is really sweet and valuable.

I also knew that feeling, but I was planning to reject Dae-shik’s suggestion.

After all, even if I raise his tier in this way, the tier will drop again when I leave and Dae-shik plays the game alone.

The game just now was a practice game to figure out Dae-shik’s condition.

I was planning to teach my precious friend candidate Dae-shik how to catch fish, not just give him fish.

Then there’s only one way.

“Let’s stop the duo here.”
“Ah, that’s right. Mollru must be busy too, thank you for your hard work-.”
“Come to the training camp.”

It’s a simple method.

It’s no different than before. If it doesn’t work, just keep doing it until it works.
