668 – Let’s Broadcast Among Ourselves

668 – Let’s Broadcast Among Ourselves

Fluffy-

The soft fur of the sheep bounced Gaeul’s fist back like a spring.

It bounced back more than cotton could actually show.

‘What is this?’

Curiosity piqued, I also tapped the sheep’s fur.

Suddenly, a resilience that I couldn’t feel just moments ago was transmitted.

Could it be that the sheep’s fur has the property of reflecting shocks?

If so, the commercial value of the sheep could be considerable.

‘I want to conduct an experiment.’

To find out how much force the fur could reflect, I would inevitably have to hit the sheep.

But that would be animal abuse…

Should I shear the fur first and then experiment?

I was seriously contemplating this when suddenly,

“Meow! Meow!”

Bouncing around the park, Saebyeok’s eyes lit up at the sight of the sheep.

Perhaps the sheep’s fur looked fluffy, as she jumped excitedly towards it.

Bam-

Saebyeok collided with the fur and bounced right back.

I realized then that a young cat could indeed show a bewildered expression.

‘It really does reflect shocks.’

It certainly hadn’t bounced back when I had lightly hugged it earlier.

It seemed that only the force of someone charging at it, like Saebyeok, was reflected.

‘How fascinating.’

Beastmen have unique traits as livestock.

While I was thinking this, Gaeul suddenly charged at the sheep.

“Yah!”

Bam-

Gaeul collided with the sheep and bounced back just like that.

It was like watching the rebound of wrestling ropes.

“Wow! It bounced back!”

“Heehee!”

The children showed great interest in the sheep’s reflective ability.

Gaeul was laughing so hard she was holding her belly.

“Levinas too! I want to bounce like Levinas!”

Yah!

Levinas shouted and charged at the sheep.

As expected, Levinas bounced back after colliding with the sheep, but right where he bounced back, Bomi was waiting.

“Levinas! It’s a continuous bounce!”

“Ugh! Aratta!”

Bomi pushed Levinas with all her might as he bounced back.

This caused Levinas to charge at the sheep again.

Bam- Bam-

Thanks to Bomi, Levinas bounced back seven times in a row.

The children clapped with their mouths agape, thinking it was a cool trick.

“Wow!”

“Levinas is totally like a rubber band…!”

It seemed that continuous bouncing was a remarkable act for the children.

This was evident just by looking at Levinas, who puffed out his chest with a cough.

“Gaeul too! Ding ding! Ding ding, let’s go!”

“Yeah! Everyone, try it! It’s super fun!”

Bam- Bam-

While the children were playing with the sheep’s fur, Saebyeok stood alone, staring blankly.

“Saebyeok, what are you doing?”

“I was wondering if my attack would bounce back too.”

Saebyeok raised her clenched fist high.

The sheep, unaware of the danger it was in, was munching on grass.

“Um…”

Wouldn’t it be a big deal if Saebyeok hit it, no matter how gentle the sheep was?

It seemed like Saebyeok was holding back her strength…

Before I could finish my thoughts, I carefully grabbed Saebyeok’s fist.

At that, Saebyeok lowered her hand without hesitation.

“Maybe it’s better not to do it?”

“Yeah. If Saebyeok hits it, the sheep might get hurt.”

“Is that so?”

Nodding, Saebyeok began to stroke the sheep’s fur.

It seemed soft enough that she climbed onto the sheep and decided to take a nap.

“Ummae.”

Despite the children’s collisions and Saebyeok’s riding, the sheep quietly continued to munch on grass.

It looked quite docile.

It seemed there would be no problem keeping it in the park.

I just decided to be a little careful with the paper.

“Okay, here’s the deal…”

Kwon Arin, who was broadcasting, felt a sense of boredom.

This feeling grew stronger as the profits from broadcasting and being an adventurer increased.

‘Everything is solved with money, so it’s not fun.’

The necessary equipment was obtained either by spending money or receiving help from viewers.

At first, it felt fun, like using cheats, but as time went on, I felt an inexplicable emptiness.

Should I say I miss the days of grinding without any capital?

‘…No.’

I used to want to spend money back then.

Maybe living in abundance has made me feel full.

Perhaps it was a greedy desire for what I didn’t have.

“Sigh…”

I think I need some time alone.

If I play the game without any capital and organize my thoughts, I might find an answer.

After finishing my contemplation, Kwon Arin honestly informed the viewers of her state.

“…So I’m thinking of taking a break from broadcasting for about a week?”

[Taking a break is important.]

[No way!!!!!!!!!!]

[Hmm… that’s a shame.]

Negative and positive reactions mixed together.

As Kwon Arin watched the viewers’ reactions, a thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she smiled.

It was because she remembered the children that the viewers liked more than her.

“How about a substitute broadcast then?”

[Substitute?]

[Who will be the substitute?]

“Just people around me. I’ll ask if they can broadcast in my place while I take a break.”

[Oh!! If it’s someone around…!]

[Have a good rest, haha]

The viewers, realizing the existence of a ‘substitute,’ bid farewell without any hesitation.

Kwon Arin knew they were joking, so she just lightly laughed it off.

“Then see you in a week.”

After ending the broadcast, Kwon Arin decided to go find the children.

It seemed like it would be quite a topic for them to broadcast just among themselves.

**

“······.”

We agreed to do the broadcast when Kwon Arin asked us.

We accepted the request gladly at the time, but now that we were standing in front of the computer, we had no idea what to do.

Kwon Arin said we could just do anything…

But without Kwon Arin, it felt somehow difficult to broadcast.

When Kwon Arin was there, we just had to play games.

This was the first time we had to take the lead in broadcasting, and my mind went blank for a moment.

‘What should I do?’

I stared blankly at the broadcast camera.

The children were also looking at the monitor with blank expressions, following my lead.

The broadcast was already on, but we couldn’t do anything.

[Hahaha?]

[Frozen]

As the viewers began to laugh at us standing still, I wondered if they found joy in every little action.

Wouldn’t they enjoy it even if we just played any game like this?

“First, let’s play a game… a game…”

I moved the mouse and opened the game platform.

There were so many games that I didn’t know which one to play.

“Hey guys, what game should we play?”

“···Ikgu?”

Gaeul pointed at an icon shaped like a horse.

I thought it was a horse-related game, but it turned out to be a carousel.

“Hey guys, this is a game where you build an amusement park.”

“Wow! An amusement park!”

“It sounds fun…!”

The children showed interest in the amusement park-building game.

Gaeul raised her hand excitedly, wanting to try it too.

“Gaeul! Gaeul wants to play too!”

“Yeah. Do you want to try it, Gaeul?”

Since Gaeul had good memories of amusement parks, I could fully understand her desire to try it out.

Without hesitation, I gave my spot to Gaeul.

“I’ll just start it for you.”

As I used the mouse to launch the game, the lively sounds unique to an amusement park filled the air.

The amusement park-building game started from an empty flatland.

“Huh…?”

Gaeul’s eyes widened as she looked at the empty park.

It was supposed to be a game about building an amusement park, but it was just flat, so she couldn’t help but be confused.

“Gaeul, look! There’s something here! Click this!”

“Huh…”

As Levinas pointed at the screen, Gaeul awkwardly moved the mouse.

It was a fascinating sight as she moved the mouse with her right hand and clicked with her left.

Thus appeared a list of buildings.

Without hesitation, Gaeul clicked on the cotton candy shop from the various options.

Feeling quite awkward with the computer, Gaeul switched between the screen and the mouse several times before finally clicking on the cotton candy shop.

[Ooh haha]

[It feels different seeing Gaeul do it.]

[I remember when I first bought a computer; I was like that too haha]

[Were you as cute as Gaeul?]

[…No.]

Was it because the child was working hard on the game?

The reactions in the chat were positive.

“Gaeul, where are you going to place the cotton candy shop?”

“Ikgu.”

After Gaeul set up the cotton candy shop, she also made a road.

Then, shortly after, a guest appeared in the amusement park.

“Wow! A person! A person has appeared in Gaeul’s park!”

“It’s Gaeul’s first guest!”

The children were excited about the first guest, and Gaeul seemed to think she was managing the park well, puffing out her chest.

However, the guest who visited the park was in a bad mood.

-There are no rides in this park!

The guest NPC wandered around the park, complaining.

Seeing this, Gaeul’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

First, she needed to create some rides.

Just as she was about to point at the ride creation window on the game screen, Levinas pointed at the huge lake in the park.

“Gaeul! There’s a swimming pool over there, but it seems the guest can’t find it!”

“······!”

Was Levinas seeing the lake as a swimming pool?

Gaeul seemed to think it made some sense and tried to guide the guest NPC to the swimming pool.

She made a path, clicked on the swimming pool, and clicked on the guest…

“Huh?”

The moment Gaeul clicked on the guest, something amazing happened.

A claw-shaped icon appeared, lifting the guest up.

“Oh! Wouldn’t it be okay to move them to the lake like this?”

“Wow! That’s a great idea!”

With the children’s clever deduction, Gaeul grabbed the guest and placed them in the lake.

The guest splashed around in the water, flailing their arms and legs.

“They’re swimming!”

“Yeah, they’re really swimming.”

After a while, the guest who was flailing their arms and legs sank down into the water.

The children and I just stared blankly at this scene.

“They’re diving too!”

“Um…”

This didn’t seem like diving.

We waited for a long time for the guest to come back up, but the guest who sank in the water never resurfaced.

I was shocked to find that the amusement park-building game had a feature that could kill guests.

Flustered, I lost my words.

“···Huh?”

Gaeul’s eyes widened as bubbles rose from the water.

[Hahaha]

[Ahhh hahaha]

In contrast to us, the reactions in the chat were quite good.
