Hiking with a Legging-Clad Streamer
Meanwhile, outside Park Suhyun’s studio.
Five men who looked suspicious at a glance were lurking there.
They were all wearing masks, and anyone could tell they were up to no good.
Then, the man at the very front pulled off his mask.
“Ha, fuck.”
His vile face was revealed. He was a man who looked just like the kind of neighborhood thug you’d run into every so often.
He was glaring at Park Suhyun’s studio with an expression of deep dissatisfaction.
“Say that again. You’re telling me that building is signed up with a Martial Arts Security Firm?”
“Yes. I checked, and it’s true. The security firm’s mark was plastered right on the front.”
“Fuck. This is bullshit.”
A Martial Arts Security Firm was a security company operated by martial artists.
In such a rough era, it was hard to stop intruders if they were martial artists or mage robbers. That was why these security firms had emerged. You could basically consider it a service where martial artists of a considerable level stepped in personally to take responsibility for your security.
Naturally, the cost was extremely high.
But Park Suhyun was currently subscribed to one.
For people like them, who were trying to break into the studio for nefarious purposes, it was the worst-case scenario.
“How many minutes did you say they take to show up once the alarm goes off?”
“Three minutes.”
“Tsk, three minutes is way too short.”
That was the situation.
They were experts from the Black Sun Faction, gathered here to ambush Park Suhyun.
Under normal circumstances, they had expected an easy job. After all, it was just about taking down(?) a single streamer.
But Park Suhyun never went outside. He only did his broadcasts from inside the studio.
On top of that, the studio was registered with a Martial Arts Security Firm. That was why they couldn’t make a move and were just pacing around in frustration.
“Boss. Why don’t we just do it? Even if it is a Martial Arts Security Firm, aren’t they just going to send one or two first-rate or second-rate experts at most?”
The thug-faced man they called "Boss" was a first-rate expert. The rest were second-rate. As such, they could have easily ignored the security firm and given it a shot.
However, the boss shook his head.
“No. We can’t afford to make an enemy of a Martial Arts Security Firm.”
They were a small Sapa (evil sect) faction. In comparison, the security firm held significant power. If they messed with them carelessly, they would end up facing bloody revenge.
Just then, the youngest member, who had been fiddling with his smartphone, spoke up in a bright voice.
“Boss! The guy is coming out tomorrow!”
“Hm? Coming outside?”
“Yes! He says he’s going to Bukhansan for a hiking broadcast tomorrow!”
“Hoho...!”
The boss’s face lit up in an instant. He had found a way.
“Going to a mountain, you say? That’s perfect.”
He figured he could just ambush the guy while he was hiking. Even to him, it seemed like a solid plan.
“Boss, why don’t we just wait until morning and ambush him when he comes out of here?”
“You moron! You want me to wait here until morning just to catch one measly streamer?!”
“A-ah, no. I’m sorry, Boss!”
Besides, this was a busy downtown area. If they handled business in a place with so many people, there was no telling what kind of variables might arise.
Regardless, he made his decision.
“Tomorrow, we ambush him at Bukhansan.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Understood!”
Everyone agreed with his opinion. They all thought it was a decent plan.
And so, the Black Sun Faction group began their preparations to ambush Park Suhyun.
But they still underestimated him. They thought he was just a mere streamer.
And that carelessness would soon bring great misfortune upon them.
The next day. Lunchtime.
I started climbing the mountain with Lena, Haedal, Charyeong, Sua, and the Hunter.
We didn’t go to Jirisan like last time; we hiked the nearby Bukhansan.
Of course, it was quite different from the Bukhansan on the Earth I used to live on. To be precise, the fact that there were almost no people was the main difference.
‘Well, who would go hiking on a mountain where monsters spawn?’
Unless you were a streamer, a broadcaster, or a professional mountaineer like me, it was hard to see anyone else.
Anyway, I had hired the Hunter again. He was that taciturn hunter who had accompanied me and Anyoung on our broadcast before.
“U-um, Mr. Hunter! W-we’re safe, right?”
“......Yes.”
Even now, he just gave a short, blunt answer to Haedal’s question. He really hadn't changed.
I looked at Haedal and asked, “Are you scared, Haedal?”
“Yes? Ah, no! I-I’m absolutely not scared!”
If it were the usual Haedal, he would have told the truth. But this hiking trip included Lena, whom he liked. That was why he was forcing himself to act like a tough guy.
Of course, as far as I knew, Lena had zero interest in Haedal. She didn’t even look in his direction.
I looked at Haedal with a slightly pitiful expression. The chances of him dating Lena were effectively zero.
‘Lena looks for a lot of things on the outside, after all.’
I could tell just by looking at the men she had dated in the past. I remembered them all being quite handsome.
Anyway, I ignored Haedal and opened my mouth toward the new face, Charyeong.
“Charyeong! Didn’t you put a bit too much effort into your outfit?”
“I-is it strange?”
“No. It suits you well.”
“R-really? That’s a relief.”
Charyeong had come wearing mint-colored leggings that clung tightly to her body. Thanks to that, her beautiful lower body stood out immediately.
‘Her butt is pretty nice, too, isn’t it?’
It was a lovely peach-shaped bottom. Maybe she had applied for this hiking broadcast just to show it off.
Ooh-la-la
Wow!
Get it, get it!
This is it!
Leggings are the golden rule for hiking!
Charyeong knows what’s up
(Tiger emoji blushing)
Fortunately, the viewers liked her butt... no, they liked her. The chat window was full of talk about her. It seemed like a good choice to pick Charyeong.
I chatted with Charyeong for a bit before looking behind me. Sua was following us energetically, holding a selfie stick.
Of course, Sua had come wearing an outfit that exposed her chest quite generously again. As we climbed, her large breasts were bouncing all over the place.
Bounce. Bounce.
“Ahem.”
I cleared my throat and turned my head forward. It was a relief she was following along well.
Anyway, Bukhansan didn’t take as long as Jirisan. If we walked for two more hours, we would reach our destination, Baegundae.
That was when Charyeong asked me a random question.
“Jaeho, what style of woman do you like?”
“Yes?”
“You know, style. Like a sexy style, or maybe a cute style... things like that!”
I made a slightly troubled face at her words.
Actually, I didn’t really care about things like that. The feeling I got when I met them was more important.
But I couldn’t say that. It would have been too boring.
I tried to brush it off appropriately.
But unfortunately, Lena and Sua also showed interest in this question. So it wasn’t easy to get past it.
“That’s true, I’m curious too. What style do you like, Jaeho?”
“Y-yeah! I’m curious too!”
In reality, all three women here were showing interest. I fell into a slight dilemma.
‘What should I say to this?’
Anyoung, Dokgo Hwayeon, or Haini might be watching this broadcast right now. No, considering their personalities, they were definitely watching.
I was doing a hiking broadcast with other women. There was no way they wouldn’t be watching. I had to choose my words very carefully.
‘Should I just say I like a style that’s refreshing, elegant, and sexy?’
But that was when it happened.
“Fuck! Hey! Why don’t you stop for a second?”
“You! You with the unlucky-looking face over there!!”
“Hick!”
Suddenly, the voices of strange men were heard from ahead. Because of that, Haedal was startled and stopped moving.
I turned my head toward the voices coming from the distance.
And there, I could see five men blocking the path. They clearly weren’t ordinary people.
They were all young, and their bodies looked solid. Furthermore, they were covering their faces with masks. They were even carrying weapons.
‘What is this?’
I made a puzzled face.
Then I stepped forward. Practically speaking, I was the leader of this group. In times like this, I had to step up.
“What’s the matter?”
As I stepped forward, I observed the reactions of the five men.
But something was strange.
When I stepped forward, the five of them looked like they were happy. Even with masks on, I could definitely feel that vibe. Then, they immediately started picking a fight with me.
“Fuck! You look so goddamn unlucky.”
“Hey! Who are you to be making such a racket here? If a monster pops out, are you going to take responsibility for it?!”
Actually, this was close to being unreasonable. If anything, the noise they were making was much louder than ours. It seemed like they were picking a fight on purpose.
‘They’re picking a fight with me on purpose?’
I felt puzzled.
If they had been targeting the women, it wouldn’t have been this strange. But they were specifically picking a fight with me.
I asked, not with an angry face, but a puzzled one.
“Who are you people?”
“Keuk keuk keuk! Who are you people? You moron.”
“Your face is goddamn displeasing to look at, too.”
“What are you doing? Let’s just beat him up first.”
“Yes, sir!”
They laughed at me openly. Then they started slowly approaching me.
Soon, the men began to grip their weapons. Fortunately, there were no weapons like guns.
But they were carrying weapons sufficient to cause injury, ranging from sharp swords to steel pipes and batons.
I stood still and waited for them to approach.
I wasn’t afraid or scared. I had already achieved a considerable level of martial arts. My fist techniques, inner energy cultivation, and footwork were all trained to a certain degree.
‘Are they just thugs?’
This was actually for the best. I had hoped for a monster to appear for the sake of the broadcast’s excitement, but these thugs didn’t seem like a bad alternative.
But that was when it happened.
Whoosh—!!
A sound of wind began to emanate from the body of the man approaching at the very front.
At the same time, his clothes began to flutter violently.
“......!”
Seeing that, I made a slightly surprised face. It wasn’t just me. My companions also looked shocked.
“First-rate!”
“No, why is a first-rate expert here?”
