    Chapter 97: Friendship merger

    #[??? : Ah lol, Korea is easy]

    (Cheongha taking an exam on a mock test site)

    (Screen showing the grading results)

    =That’s none other than a Vtuber taking a Korean history exam.

    But why is she here acting like this after getting 100 on a ridiculously easy Korean history mock exam?

    (Triwiki Kim Cheongha Profile)

    This person is Japanese.

    -Ah, don’t f*cking joke, seriously.

    -What foreigner gets a score like that? lol.

    ㄴ F*ck, I don’t even know my own history.

    -At that level, isn’t she really an honorary Korean?

    -But when did she get on Triwiki?

    ㄴ I saw it was up there last time.

    ㄴ Yeah, she met the listing criteria last time.

    ㄴ After the hot clip went up last time, her subscriber count jumped like crazy lol.

     

    #[??? : Now, you have to do well on the exam, right?]

    =Huh?

    Now, if you guys get below 100, you’re all traitors.

    You’d better know!

    -This is crazy lol.

    -Now we’re going to lose to Japan in Korean stuff too…

    -I’m not a 3rd year high school student anyway lol, good luck.

    ㄴ So what was your national history score back in school?

    ㄴ Shut the f*ck up.

    ㄴ lol.

    ㄴ Crazy b*stard lol.

    -The world is truly full of traitors.

    ㄴ If you put it that way, isn’t she also a traitor?

    ㄴ lol, despite all that, she doesn’t know Japanese history well.

    ㄴ According to herself, she doesn’t know because she always just slept.

    ㄴ But then why does she know Korean history so well? lol.

    ㄴ It’s because Japanese people always watch Korean dramas.

    ㄴ But that’s different from history, f*ck.

    If this is the case, what does that make me?

     

    #[But Kim Cheongha, what is she doing this time that she]

    =Thinks so hard about it and then doesn’t say?

    -idk?

    -She just said she has a schedule and that was it…

    -Is this the first or second time she’s done this?

    ㄴ But usually, she doesn’t think that hard.

    ㄴ Then there really must be something.

    -Isn’t she meeting a guy?

    ㄴ Huk.

    ㄴ ㄷㄷ (shivers).

    ㄴ Ttaridan (fandom name?) will die~

    ㄴ F*ck, I won’t let it slide.

    ㄴ How dare she escape solo status all by herself?

    ㄴ Ah, so that was the problem?

    ㄴ I’m going crazy, these Vtuber geeks lol.


    After taking the Korean history exam and commissioning a new avatar.

    How many days had passed since then?

    “Alright, hello everyone~!”

    A vibrant voice coming from beyond the headset struck my ears.

    “Waaah!”

    “Hello!”

    Then, the streamers began to greet in response.

    “·····Wow, waaah.”

    And, I, caught in the middle, also greeted the viewers in the other rooms.

    -lol.

    -The streamer is intimidated lol.

    -It’s hard being surrounded by popular people, right? lol.

    -If you want to escape from here right now, please shake a carrot.

    “····Where did I put the key to the vegetable patch.”

    I think I need to go pick a carrot from there right now.

    I decided to ignore the fact that this is a studio apartment and doesn’t have a vegetable patch.

    …How did I end up here?

    ‘That, it was just something that slipped out by chance···.’

    The incident began a few days ago, on the day of the second meeting.

    “So, you’re saying the problem is that other people are treating you too uncomfortably?”

    “Yes, it’s a bit····”

    It was a conversation I had with Sogeumbbang in the call room after the meeting had ended and only the two of us remained with something to discuss.

    Huh?

    There’s a limit to how good special treatment can be.

    Whenever I say even a single word, the atmosphere becomes one where everyone is incredibly cautious.

    Now, it’s not a joke anymore; it’s really starting to become uncomfortable.

    To make an analogy, it’s like that feeling of being bullied in childhood.

    Of course, since these people aren’t doing it with malicious intent, it’s a bit much to compare it to that.

    But the fact that it wasn’t a very good feeling remained.

    “Ughm····· Then alright!”

    “···What is?”

    “Let’s all gather and play a game together, shall we?”

    “·····Ha?”

    “Hey, if it’s awkward, we’ll be uncomfortable too.”

    And, the solution derived as a result was this very collab.

    This year marks 8 years.

    Kim Cheongha, exposed to the boundless positive energy of a great senior, was dragged into the collab before she could even say anything.

    ‘Why am I always surrounded by people like this.’

    I thought I had adapted to the internet broadcasting industry to some extent.

    But compared to these veterans, I was still just a novice.

    Huh?

    This is why Gu Jisu introduced me.

    Similar kidnappers flocking together, a good match.

    “Alright, then the game we’ll be playing today is—.”

    Leaving Cheongha, who was lost in all sorts of thoughts, behind, Sogeumbbang continued to explain today’s collab to the viewers with a bright face.

    Well, they say playing a game together is perfect for getting closer, right?

    “It’s Dead Night Survival!”

    The game decided as a result was this very game.

    It was the murderer game I had played with the Dot crew before.

    To engage in a life-or-death struggle, killing each other from the very first meeting, is this the world of pros?

    Well, if we start swinging knives at each other, we’ll probably start cussing each other out.

    [[Snowflower11] has donated 50,000 won]

    [=Streamer, fighting~!]

    A donation message arrived from the idol who had become accustomed to our room’s atmosphere.

    Right, this is much better than needlessly showing off wealth.

    Although the donation amount still starts from the basic 10,000 won to 50,000 won, it’s much better than before when it came in units of 100,000 won.

    ‘····But is it okay for an idol to watch this kind of thing?’

    It feels like I keep showing them weird stuff behind their company’s back, so my conscience is pricking me.

    Her image is okay, right?

    Well, unless she appears on some entertainment show, there probably won’t be any worries.

    It’s not like she posts on Instagram that she watches internet broadcasts.

    “Then, let’s start quickly.”

    Since it has come to this, let’s just get it over with quickly.

    Come to think of it, aren’t all these people popular?

    By all means, the role of the murderer suits me perfectly.


    The darkened night sky.

    The game began.

    “····In the end, I’m a survivor.”

    Cheongha, excluded from the murderer role, grumbled.

    Ah, that’s the fun part.

    ‘Cheongha, what are you doing!’

    ‘Eh?’

    ‘No, no, you should be thinking about getting closer, what are you doing thinking about killing everyone from the start!’

    It was a Discord message that flew in when I asked to be the murderer.

    Well, she said my image wouldn’t be scary if we survived together.

    Ultimately, for that reason, the murderer role went to another streamer.

    -lol.

    -How dare a newbie try to kill a senior?

    -Know your place!

    Well, still, I had no intention of losing the game.

    Cheongha diligently searched houses, looking for items necessary for survival.

    Kkiiik-

    And the moment she entered a wooden house.

    “Uh oh?”

    “Ah, hello?”

    She ran into a survivor who was waiting inside.

    “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

    Hongsi.

    “Ahaha··· Yes, yeees····”

    The woman speaking to me with a hesitant voice.

    It was Hongsi, the streamer I had a singing battle with last time.

    “Want to go together?”

    “···Eh?”

    We had already broken the ice with the singing battle.

    With the intention of getting closer at this opportunity, I approached her and extended my hand.

    That was the purpose of this collab in the first place.

    Huh?

    I proposed we go together for such a noble purpose, but.

    -Emergency!

    Judas has returned!

    -Cheong-kkiaaaak!

    -Run away!

    -??? : Jindo dog, issue a Jindo dog alert!

    Why are these people like this?

    Huh?

    Do they think I’m someone who betrays people as easily as I eat?

    …Of course, I probably would if I thought I was going to die, but anyway, what’s not true is not true.

    [[CheonghaIsPathetic] has donated 1,000 won]

    [=Teacher Kim Gu, a Japanese person is currently kidnapping innocent Joseon commoners.]

    “Ahem, don’t call that person.”

    Huh?

    No, what did I do to be compared to people like that?

    Apparently, the impact of the mock exam last time was quite significant.

    When on earth will that be forgotten?

    “Ah, yes···· I don’t mind.”

    And, fortunately, an affirmative answer came back from her.

    Phew, I was secretly worried because of the viewers’ reactions.

    Still, that’s a relief.

    She doesn’t watch my broadcast.

    “Ah, come to think of it, Hongsi-nim.”

    “Yes?”

    “Um, by any chance, do you have anything?”

    “···Eh?”

    -lol.

    -No, if you say it like that lol.

    -Extorting from the moment you meet.

    -Maknae on top ㄷㄷ… (shivers)

    Ahem, a knife is strictly for self-defense.

    I am not a person who carries a knife for unnecessary purposes!

    Understand?

    “Ah, I don’t really have much that I’ve eaten right now either····.”

    “Tsk····, then let’s start by farming first.”

    “Eh?”

    Ah, yes····.

    How long had it been since the two of them pushed through the rainy path?

    From beside a streetlight in the distance, the sound of people talking was heard.

    “You, you didn’t cherish Sogeumbbang!”

    “Keuk!”

    “Now, Sogeumbbang is the best bread.”

    Repeat after me!

    “Ugh··· Bread, cream bread is the best!”

    Uwaaaargh!

    …What did I just hear?

    “You b*stard!”

    “Kkeuaaargh!!”

    And so, one streamer left his last words and met his end with his neck severed.

    To defend his beliefs even in a situation right before death, this is truly a patriot.

    Just as I was watching the two’s skit, oblivious to the passage of time.

    “···Huh?”

    I made eye contact with Sogeumbbang, who had inadvertently turned her head towards me.

    “···Um, hello?”

    “Ah, Cheongha-n····.”

    “—Hongsi-nim is over there.”

    “···Eeht!?”

    At the sight of the murderer approaching her with heavy steps.

    The utterly despicable celebrity immediately sold out her colleague.

    Oof, crazy.

    Is that a dinosaur or a person?

    “····Suddenly?”

    The momentarily dazed murderer.

    Sogeumbbang stared blankly at her.

    No, she sells her out as soon as she sees her?

    -lol.

    -Hey, you…

    -I have a lot to say.. I don’t know what to say lol.

    -I was a f*cking idiot for believing you even for a moment lol.

    -She didn’t even finish talking lol.

    -Even the murderer is flustered, crazy lol.

    Alright, now’s my chance!

    “Hongsi-nim, run!”

    “····Um, didn’t you just sell me out-.”

    “Ah, never mind, quickly!”

    “Where do you think you’re going!”

    Sogeumbbang, who had barely regained her senses, immediately grabbed Cheongha, who was in front of her, by the scruff of her neck.

    “Cheongha-nim~, what do you think is the most delicious bread in the world~?”

    “Sogeumbbang.”

    “Ah, this person knows a thing or two~!”

    At the question that flew in as always, Cheongha answered immediately.

    Huh?

    Honestly, Sogeumbbang is delicious, isn’t it?

    Actually, until a little while ago, shrimp bread was my favorite, but suddenly Sogeumbbang looks delicious.

    If it’s for survival, I’ll change my preferences as much as needed.

    “By the way, Cheongha-nim.”

    Do you know that?

    “Yes?”

    “I don’t need traitors.”

    “···Eh?”

    Kwajik-!

    As soon as Sogeumbbang’s words ended, the iron skewer she was holding slowly crushed Cheongha’s head.

    “Uh, uh uh···?!”

    -Ah, so refreshing.

    -Justice served ㄷㄷ (shivers).

    -Huh?

    Serves you right?

    [You Died]

    Simultaneously, text appeared on the instantly black screen.

    It happened merely 10 minutes after the game started.

    “····Aaaargh!”

    F*ck——!!

    At that shocking result that was utterly unpredictable.

    Former S-class celebrity, current virtual streamer.

    Kim Cheongha let out a string of curses in that tremendously high-pitched voice.
