I Just Hit Them? Why Do They Like Me? (2)
Why are they laughing? I have no idea what these people find funny. Which part did you enjoy? I want to learn. Really… I want to know that punchline. No matter how hard I think about it, there was no joke. Just now… what did I even do? I just read the annoying chat and killed some Pongs. Is that it? Is that enough to make a sea of laughter? Uh… I don’t get it. What’s so funny? Right now… right now… are you teasing me? You’re pretending it’s funny even though it isn’t, just to fluster me, right? I know everything. I caught on. They say even a dog at a private school learns to speak after three years. That’s exactly what this is. It won’t work on me anymore. Did you really think I’d fall for that? Mwahahaha. Mwahahahaha. “Mwahahahaha. It won’t work. It won’t get through. Surprised, weren’t you? Flustered?”
Flustered? Like, uh… the old Seon-a would’ve fallen for that prank… Gah. Gah… Damn it. The grown-up Seon-a is scary!! Terrifying. So scary. She’s probably doing it on purpose. Once…
Huh…? What’s going on? Their reaction was completely different from what I expected. Is it actually funny? They think it’s funny? I really don’t understand. What do I do now? Why am I the only one who doesn’t get it? Tell me too, exactly what part was funny!! Let’s laugh together. Let’s laugh together!! “Hmm…”
But I can’t bring myself to ask. This situation feels exactly like standing there blankly while the popular kids burst into laughter. I want to know why they’re laughing, but I can’t ask. Even if I gather the courage to ask, they won’t tell me. I don’t know. If I don’t know, I should just stop thinking about it. I’ll just focus on my stream. I’ll ask GPT later. AI is smart, so it’ll tell me everything. For now, just focus on streaming. Thinking about it won’t help. Most of the time it just ends in wild guesses. How long have they been doing this? Hehehe. I know everything there is to know. They just can’t concentrate and keep getting distracted. I know everything~
“Focus… focus!! I’m going again.”
I concentrated again. This game required concentration. You had to aim properly when throwing the ball or you’d waste it. Throwing it randomly could lead to disaster. First of all, this game needed a lot of slaves. I really studied hard in advance!! I just grabbed every Pong I saw. Cat Pong, Chicken Pong, Penguin Pong… so many. And I immediately put them to work. Where else would you find a boss as good as me? While making the Pongs work, I leveled up quickly.
“Phew… done.”
I optimized it pretty well. Even I could tell I did a good job. This deserved tons of praise for how fast and precise I was, right down to the exact timing. Should I check the chat?
“Huh?”
This time the chat atmosphere felt hostile. It’s true I didn’t talk. But is that really something to get angry about? Fifteen minutes was a perfectly reasonable break. Haven’t you seen me for a day or two? There are things I can’t fix no matter how hard I try. You all know that. I’m someone who tries really hard. But that habit doesn’t go away easily. You all said you understood. You definitely did. Now you’re making me feel bad again.
“Hng… guys… you said it was okay. You said last time it was fine if I didn’t talk much.”
That was just me feeling hurt, but from now on I can talk while playing. “It’s okay. From now on I can talk while I play. I just couldn’t earlier because I was concentrating.”
They’re looking out for my health too… This time I’m touched. These people make me feel bad sometimes, but they also give me a lot of warm feelings.
“Got it!! I’ll drink lots of warm water. Thank you for worrying about my health!!”
Focus again. Focus on the game. Uh… there’s still so much to do. Do you know how vast this game is? I paid a lot of money for it, so I have to lick it clean. I worked hard catching Pongs while talking. Every time I caught one, I asked, “Everyone, is this a good Pong?” I waited for answers. If they judged whether it was good or not… I’d say either “Time to butcher it” or “Kya~ let’s breed it.”
By now the viewers were used to it and flooded the chat with “butcher ” or “breed .” They’re really smart. While I was busy catching Pongs and talking, a guest arrived.
“Huh? Hello, Melon-nim.”
Big is a fact. Hers were seriously huge. If she went to a bathhouse, everyone would stare. The short-tied grandmas would scold her for having a lewd body. They’d tell her not to come to the bathhouse with those breasts. Ah…!! Ah. I heard that women get limited towels at bathhouses. Probably two—one for hair, one for body. But Melon-nim might get three. One for hair, one for body, and one just for her chest… Of course, this is all my imagination. Only Melon-nim knows the truth. I don’t. Ah! Ah! And since we’re on the bathhouse fantasy, let me keep going. When Melon-nim dries her hair with a hairdryer, it’ll shake so much that a little kid holding his mom’s hand might point and say, “Mom! That one’s shaking a lot!! Mom’s doesn’t shake like that!!” That’s how big they are. Probably her nickname in school was “Milk Cow.” I know how to be considerate too!! She must’ve been hurt a lot hearing that nickname during her school days!! So I kindly call her Melon instead! Who’s more considerate than me!! “Hmm…”
“Hmm… Mine are twice as big. Seon-a baby made them. When you see Melon-nim from the side, she’s literally a KTX train. You know that feeling when you look at a KTX from the side… her face just pops out round like that.”
“It’s not sexual harassment. Facts can’t be sexual harassment. Right now I’m… uh, uh… I’m just stating facts, so I’ll be punished under the truth-telling crime law.”
Kekeke. I know. This is all experience and learning. See, arguing on the internet helps. I’m using it like this now.
“Not . Melon-nim should be the one getting arrested first. Right now you’re committing… delusion? Mania? Delusion? behavior.”
I only said what I saw with my own eyes. I didn’t make anything up or lie. If anything, what Melon-nim is doing right now is the bad behavior. When other VTubers talk about their chests all the time, how much did she laugh inside? Kekeke. Amateurs. I’m just telling the truth so they don’t get hurt anymore. Right now Maru-nim has fallen under a curse and become a farm princess. If you look at Maru-nim’s model, her chest is huge. Like, if you put helium in them she’d float away. But she got cursed and became a farm princess!! Why do you think that happened!! “Uh…”
That wasn’t it. This was because of Maem-nim. She got sealed in VRChat, that’s why. Ah… I got confused. The RP keeps mixing in and I get confused. No. That’s not it. Melon… I mean, Moddeok-nim and the farm princess have nothing to do with each other? Aah! I misunderstood…!! “Ah… Moddeok-nim, I’m sorry. I misunderstood.”
I sincerely apologized for the false fantasy I created.
“Thank you!! I’ll work hard!!”
I focused on the game again. I made one mistake. I underestimated my own skill. I thought I’d be mediocre so I didn’t study much in advance… but my level is already pretty high, so it’s hard. I don’t know anything. There’s a lot to do. I don’t know where to get things. Now they’re telling me to switch to a different Pong but I have no idea.
“Moddeok-nim, were you a Pong specialist?”
Why? Is being a Pong expert a bad thing? Why did appear? I don’t get it at all. Anyway, following the Pong expert’s advice, I got the Wind Pong. It’s really amazing. Super fast speed, high jumps. My life has completely changed. So this is why people say good car, good car. I think I finally understand why Moddeok-nim tells me to ride a good car.
“Moddeok-nim!! Experience really shows. Riding a good car feels great. Ehehe.”
At this rate I’ll have to play again tomorrow. When I exceeded my study range earlier, I had decided to give up. The system is hard and the map is huge. I’m slow… so I was going to quit, but thanks to Moddeok-nim I want to play again tomorrow. I’ll ride this sports car and beat up all the disobedient Pongs. Hehe.
