Chapter 22: The obvious second generation…

– [Lunavis Gallery] –

[The Undisputed Leader of the 2nd Generation]

Calmness that knows how to hold onto reason

Inclusiveness to lead those with terrible judgment

Even the gaming skill to one-tap monsters that three others couldn’t handle

The sole intellect of the 2nd generation Eterna

Is it you again, GOAT?

– How is the group’s top intellect a delinquent, ignoring the officer, shrine maiden, and mage

ㄴ Originally, to be a delinquent and not get forcibly transferred, you have to study well

ㄴㄴ Uh oh, that one

– Despite all that fuss every round, the great Ina didn’t rage quit even once

– Her face looks like she’d hate being a leader the most though

ㄴ OP : Usually, when you make those types do it, they do it better

ㄴㄴ 🟠 ㅇㅇ : Oho

(TL Note: 🟠 and ㅇㅇ are likely user icons/names in the forum)

ㄴㄴㄴ 🔵 OP : ?

[But This Was a Bit Phenomenal Though]

(Clip of Reina one-tapping a monster.)

The monster was shaking its head as it walked

And even though it was shaking consistently, she still followed its aim perfectly and took it down

This woman’s aim-searching is incredible

– ? She’s pretty good?

– Um… was she a gang member, not a delinquent…?

ㄴ Well, if you look at it broadly, a gang member is a type of delinquent

ㄴㄴ You looked a bit too broadly, sir

– I think Rio kind of fell for her after seeing this too

ㄴ Seriously, her voice changed right after this

ㄴㄴ But she was immediately abandoned right after, wasn’t she?

ㄴㄴㄴ Ahem

…Honestly, I did struggle a bit.

But this broadcast, I gained quite a lot from it.

First, to list them slowly one by one.

Most importantly, the fodder about me two-timing died down.

This was likely because I chose Rio as my partner at the beginning, and also…

Because everyone else, excluding me, showed such a disastrously low performance.

‘…It really didn’t make sense.’

No, no matter how scared they were.

How could the three of them not catch that one thing?

I caught it just fine even without a gun.

There are three people, how could not even one of them…

Well… I’m grateful that they took the attention away by showing a bottom below the bottom.

Looking at the chat in the middle, it seemed like they were more focused on their teeth shattering than any two-timing.

…Still, I can’t defend their gaming skills. Sorry.

And, in addition to that…

Although it was mentioned as rarely as beans sprouting in a drought.

There were occasional rumors that we were ostracizing Rio.

That nonsense was also completely eradicated as of today.

…Actually, it doesn’t make sense.

What kind of discord rumors? How long has it been since we debuted?

In that amount of time, there wouldn’t even be a reason for our relationship to sour.

Maybe if we were awkward because we didn’t know each other well.

But we don’t even have that.

…Right.

Up to this point, it’s a pretty good picture.

‘Leader… what’s that again…?’

Was it because I was the only one who seemed like a normal person among them?

Overnight, while I was sleeping, the “2nd gen leader” meme stuck to me.

On top of that… some took it a step further and even started calling me “Maman.”

(TL Note: Maman – a cutesy way to say Mommy)

No, leader…

That’s one thing, but Maman…?

…

Who? Me?

I… was a man?

‘No, seriously, where do you even see that….’

Looking back, I’m once again filled with doubt.

Honestly, did I do anything special?

Whether they lacked skill or had no tolerance for horror…

Among kids screaming their heads off in fear, I was just the only one playing the game like a game.

Of course, it’s meaningless if I play alone…

So I did try to twist my body in all sorts of ways so the others could enjoy it too.

But that also ended in failure, didn’t it?

But seriously, what kind of thought process do these people have…

To brand me as “Maman” with absolutely no context.

Does that even make sense?

‘…This is a bit, dizzying.’

Thinking about how I’ll be treated from now on, my head suddenly started to throb.

…In all my life, I’ve never had this much attention focused on me.

I wanted to stream quietly and smoothly, avoiding the spotlight as much as possible, just like how I’ve always lived.

…Is that impossible now?

“Ina-ya, you knew how to play shooting games?!”

“Ms. CEO, ca-calm, down, calm down…”

Of all things, the clip of me shooting a gun ended up circulating everywhere…

And I got caught by the CEO at the wrong time.

…D*mn it, to think the CEO was a gun nut.

“Want to do a collab with me? No, I’ll gather people, so together…!”

“My head, is spin-ning, so stop, shak-ing…”

(TL Note: Reina is being shaken by the excited CEO.)

…

To stream moderately, as if I’m there but not really there.

That small wish I’ve dreamt of since my debut days…

It seems, somehow, far from being fulfilled.
