Tears (1)

A week-long server merge.

As always, the Arang Arang Engineering University guild finished their day’s work at 8 PM, ate dinner, and gathered to run the Abyss Raid.

Now that everyone had all their raid gear, they were taking it down way more easily than the first time.

They could even skip the 1-on-1 gimmick.

-I’ll never forget the emotion I felt the first time I saw the 1-on-1

-LOL for real. It’s insane that we’re beating a super high-performance AI, lol

-It was ridiculous how Arang and the AI were parrying attacks with attacks, lol

-But why is Arang so good at assassination?

-It’s Arang, duh

-kekekeke

They took down the raid boss today without any problems, too.

-Another smooth run today

-But every time I see it, BellyFlop and Arang’s DPS is insane

-They’re covering for a bad comp with skill

-Uh, wait a sec, isn’t that a Morpho?

-Whoa, it’s a real Morpho?

-Jackpot, what’s a Morpho doing here?

-At this timing?

-But doesn’t the color look weird?

-Uh? It’s a Shiny Morpho

,A Shiny Morpho? Wait, it really is a Shiny Morpho?

Kang Han-gil clicked on the Morpho in the window that appeared after clearing the raid to double-check if it was a Shiny Morpho.

-This only appeared once in Korea

-ㄷㄷ First time seeing a Shiny Morpho

-Whoa, even the icon is so damn pretty? Crazy

-How much would it go for on the auction house?

-The only one that was sold went for maybe 10 million gold?

-10 million?

Kang Han-gil was shocked by the number he saw in the chat and immediately opened the auction house to search for Shiny Morphos.

The Shiny Morpho that had been sold just two weeks ago had been bid for a little over 10 million gold.

10 million gold is about 5 million won in cash. A sum that makes you go “whoa.”

After all the guild members had geared up their main and sub jobs, they didn’t even glance at the loot that came out after clearing and left.

But now, all eight of them were staring intently at the loot window.

10 million gold.

The one who rolls the dice well gets a pet worth 5 million won in cash, 10 million gold.

The Arang Arang guild members started rolling the dice, some despairing and others rejoicing that they rolled high.

-Show us, Class President

-You trust the Class President? lolololol

-Kang Han-gil, the unluckiest man in Korea

-Honestly, if you just have good luck with this dice roll, it covers all the bad luck you’ve had so far

,Hoo, I didn’t know rolling the dice in Leore could be this nerve-wracking?

-lolololol

-5 million won on one dice roll? lololol

-No wonder your hands are shaking, lololol

-My hands are shaking just watching, lololol

-Someone’s salary is on the line with one dice roll

-Almost two months’ worth of salary

Just as he was about to press the bid button, Arang’s voice, whom everyone here liked and loved, rang out loudly.

,Whoa!!! 98! I got 98!

,Oooooh, Arang finally got a high number!

,Looks like the guild leader’s gonna get it?

-98? Arang’s definitely gonna get it, lol

-98 is hard to beat

-Kya, Arang’s getting it

-I approve of Arang getting it

-Eat the Shiny Morpho and be healthy!

-It’s definitely the right call for pretty and cute Arang to get it

Kang Han-gil thought it was over with Arang’s 98 and pressed the bid button with a blank mind, without any thoughts.

But.

,Ahㅡ

The number 99 visible before his eyes.

And the sound of “dding!” and something entering his inventory.

Kang Han-gil shouted louder than when he did WFK at the Shiny Morpho shining brilliantly in his inventory.

,It came out as 99? Whoa… Can you guys see this? It’s that Shiny Morpho that goes for 10 million gold on the auction house! Whoa, this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a Shiny pet while streaming!?

Kang Han-gil is famous among Leore streamers for being unlucky.

He had only ever gotten raid drop pets once or twice in a long time, and he had never gotten a Shiny pet even once.

He could just buy it with gold, but his pride would never allow it.

That Kang Han-gil got a Shiny pet for the first time in his Leore life. And it was the 10 million gold lottery Shiny Morpho.

Because of that, Kang Han-gil couldn’t read the atmosphere around him and was showing off his inventory to the broadcast camera and chattering away.

But Kang Han-gil’s viewers weren’t looking at Kang Han-gil, they were looking at Arang visible beyond Kang Han-gil. No, they couldn’t help but look.

Arang, who had been jumping up and down cutely with her small stature because she rolled a 98 just now, was standing there with her head bowed and her shoulders trembling.

Anyone could tell that Arang was crying right now.

The Arang Arang guild members, except for Kang Han-gil who hadn’t noticed, approached Arang and were worrying about her.

,Whoa… Can you guys see this? It’s a Shiny Morpho! A Shiny Morpho. I rolled a 99 for the first time in my Leore life! Keuh! That first 99 dice roll is a Shiny Morpho? Whoa… chills, more chills.

[ㅇㅇ-nim, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]

Han-gil-ah… are you crazy? Are you a T-bal-C?

,Huh? I said MBTI is banned in our room, right?

Kang Han-gil, who usually hates MBTI very much, said something to the donor.

Originally, Kang Han-gil’s viewers hated those kinds of donors very, very much. Because Kang Han-gil hates MBTI mentions and even used words close to swearing, it was normal for everyone to curse at the donor, but they didn’t at all.

-Class President-ah…

-Haa… Class President-ah, are you a T-bal-C?

-The Class President has finally gone crazy

-You’re just gonna flex right in front of the person like that?

-You crazy bastard

-You son of a…

,Huh? Everyone…?

A completely different atmosphere in the chat room than usual. Originally, everyone would shun this kind of donation, but now all the viewers were defending the donor and sending bad chats towards him.

Kang Han-gil thought it was because they were jealous that he got the Shiny Morpho, but the chat atmosphere was too harsh for that.

-Don’t you look behind you?

-Aren’t you checking the atmosphere?

-This guy is really crazy?

Kang Han-gil thought something was wrong with the broadcast chat atmosphere and only then was he able to check the guild atmosphere instead of the broadcast atmosphere.

Originally, after something like this was bid on, they would congratulate the person who bid on it or be jealous, or there would be some kind of reaction from the people around, but there wasn’t.

On top of that, all the guild members except for him were gathered in one place and looking at Kang Han-gil as if they were going to kill him.

Especially Mozza-wapper, who was his guild member and had been watching his broadcast and even been his manager since a long time ago, was even emitting killing intent towards him.

-You’re only seeing it now?

-You’re noticing the atmosphere this late? lololol

-Is this guy even a streamer?

-Whoa… Class President, I really can’t defend you today

Kang Han-gil, who felt that something was wrong, noticed the chat log.

[Lee Arang-nim rolled the dice on the Shiny Morpho and got 98.]

[Kang Han-gil-nim rolled the dice on the Shiny Morpho and got 99.]

And he also remembered what Arang had said before he pressed the bid.

Arang, sobbing and crying. The guild members comforting that Arang. And the guild members emitting killing intent towards him while comforting Arang.

Only then did Kang Han-gil realize what he had done.

,Ah…

-Class President’s awareness is for real

-You made Arang cry

-You just flexed right in front of crying Arang?

,This is bad.

He sensed that this was the most dangerous situation he had ever been in while broadcasting.

He had been with Arang for a long time and didn’t remember ever seeing her cry.

Arang, who hadn’t even cried in real life, was now shedding tears in front of everyone.

Arang seemed to be trying to hold back her tears, but the tears that had already started flowing couldn’t be stopped, and that sight was shown to everyone.

[ㅇㅇ-nim, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]

Arang-ah, I’m sorry! Our Class President really has no tact…! Arang, I’m sorry!!!

[ㅇㅇ-nim, thank you for the 100,000 won donation!]

Class President, good job. Today’s your last broadcast, right?

-Hang the Class President

-What should we do about this?

-I think this is the first time I’ve seen Arang cry

-Arang’s crying so sadly…

-Whoa… what a piece of trash

Kang Han-gil was about to run to Arang to apologize quickly.

Cheok.

The guild members blocked Kang Han-gil from approaching.

,From now on, Kang Han-gil is considered Arang’s enemy.

,W-wait a minute! I, I’m sorry, Arang-ah!!!

Kang Han-gil, who had been working out hard to get better at Leore, did a grand prostration so that Arang could see him.

==

I’ve played games with many people, and it’s not like I’ve never played games with women.

I’m a guy too, so even if they’re not good at the game, I feel good when I chat with them or talk about the game together.

But there’s one behavior I hate, and that’s crying.

Of course, I understand crying when watching a sad story. I sometimes shed tears while watching game stories too.

But I extremely hate women who just move according to their emotions without logic and start crying preemptively because things don’t go their way or because they don’t do what I want.

But I’m doing that behavior right now.

Uncontrollable emotions.

I realized immediately. My period is coming up soon.

Because of that, Arang’s emotions, which had been calm except for her period and outbursts, were rising.

,I should apologize to Kang Han-gil-ajusshi later.
