Harem Server (Part 2)
Danbi unni's incredible performance continued in the next question too.
Her reasoning was that the Opera House was there, and it was the most famous place in the world. Yeah, that was understandable—people could mix those up.
That left us with just 2 minutes remaining. Huran-i unni and I managed to breeze through some simpler questions, but the final hurdle was the real problem.
"Unni... you can really get this one, right?"
"Yeah! Don't worry, this time I'll listen carefully to your hints and answer!"
She responded to me with overflowing confidence, and even though something felt a bit off, her bold tone made me think it'd be fine.
"This one's easy!"
"Un-Unni, wait a sec!"
"Hold on!"
The moment we saw the question, Danbi unni shouted out her answer so loudly that Huran-i unni and I both felt a wave of dread and yelled back simultaneously—but it seemed too late.
"That was way too easy, right? The sun's the biggest... "
Danbi unni spoke in a voice brimming with confidence, but by then the game screen had already gone black and respawned us back at the starting point.
"...It wasn't?"
"Unni."
"Y-Yeah. Huran-i."
"I told you to wait."
"I... I thought the sun was the biggest!"
Danbi unni mumbled excuses, but Huran-i unni was pissed and started punching Danbi unni's character barehanded.
"Unni! The sun's a star!"
"A st-star?"
"A star! It's a star!"
I glanced at the chat window and nodded, then ran over to Danbi unni. Standing side by side with Huran-i unni, I started punching her too. It felt kinda stress-relieving...
"W-Wait! Sorry! I'm gonna die for real!"
Danbi unni started running from our attacks, and Huran-i unni and I silently chased after her. After trolling that hard, she deserved to die at least once, right? Just die already.
"Guys? This is getting scary—can we stop?"
We ignored Danbi unni's pleas and kept hitting her.
Danbi was killed by Huran and Riee while fleeing.
"Aaaah...! Feels so good."
"Haa, that was super refreshing."
Just like Huran-i unni said, it felt amazing. I could see why people donated superchats on unni's streams to beat her up. The sound effects every hit made me feel better, like all the tension melting away. From now on, whenever unni says something dumb, I gotta punch her.
"Guys, that's too much."
Danbi unni respawned at the point, whining like she was the victim. Her voice was so perfectly pitiful that it almost made us feel like the bad guys.
What if I had a voice like Ul unni or Danbi unni? Instead of just hearing "cute" from the gallery or unnis all the time, I'd love to try speaking in a more mature tone like that.
"Rie?"
"Huh?"
"You just froze up."
"Oh, just... listening made me realize Danbi unni has such a nice voice."
At my words, Huran-i unni stopped mining the tree mid-swing, and Danbi unni halted her run toward me.
"What?"
"Wha...!"
Earlier and now—why was everyone reacting so strongly to my casual mumbles?
"D-Did I say something wrong again...?"
I timidly spoke into the suddenly chilly atmosphere, but no one replied. Even the chat was full of question marks, and the unnis behind me stayed silent. It felt awkward.
"R-Rie?"
Danbi unni swallowed hard before slowly calling my name.
"Yeah?"
"You're doing this on purpose."
"Huh?"
I tilted my head, genuinely confused about what was going on.
"No, never mind. Rie, you've got so many sins..."
Unni muttered to herself like she'd figured it out, then came over and started mining trees. Meanwhile, Huran-i unni was still frozen—did she crash? I could hear her breathing, so she was probably still connected...
Party Donations | 423,000 won
After unni revived and we finished mining trees, right as we were about to start building the house for real, a viewer donated 200,000 won to the party in disappointment. But thanks to Danbi unni's antics, we failed twice in a row.
The questions were definitely getting easier... why? As I pondered that, a dedicated fan added another 100,000 won to the party donations, leaving us with just the final question.
"Guys, this is it, right?"
"Yeah, the green one!"
Huran-i unni's firm confirmation made Danbi unni take a deep breath—this was her last chance.
"Alright! The answer is! Chlorophyll!"
The moment Yojeng said it was right, a swell of pride rose from deep in my chest. Did my parents feel like this when I told them I passed my college entrance exam?
"Kuhhh...! Unni!"
"Danbi unni!"
Huran-i unni must've felt the same joy, because we both turned to Danbi unni and shouted almost in unison.
The chat exploded with excitement too, fireworks and crying emojis scrolling up fast.
"See, guys? When unni puts her mind to it, she delivers!"
Where was the Danbi unni who'd apologized six times for messing up? Now she was snorting proudly—it was kinda ridiculous, but I let it slide. She was a little cute, and as long as unni stayed healthy and grew well... wait, hadn't she already grown plenty healthy?
"Haha, thank goodness."
"Yeah. Our unni's the best..."
"Hehe..."
Danbi unni's awkward laugh confirmed she was getting roasted hard in her own chat. But what was this modest reward gonna be? We'd suffered so long—maybe diamonds?
I was a bit shocked by the unexpectedly generous reward. Food's the most crucial thing in the wild, so calling this "modest" meant this server probably only lasted a day? Or maybe because we'd suffered so much.
"Isn't this too good?"
"...I think it's 'cause we suffered too hard."
"R-Really?"
Watching Yojeng react to the unnis' chat, I bet the original reward was just a box of grilled pork belly or something.
"A-Anyway, food problem solved! Should we install this in our newlywed house once we build it?"
Danbi unni grabbed the chest from Yojeng and shouted energetically, teleporting us back in an instant. Wait, newlywed house?
"N-Newlywed house?"
Huran-i unni stammered in a flustered, embarrassed voice, and my face suddenly felt hot.
"Th-Three people means we gotta build it super big, right? There's me too..."
Even in this modern world without prejudices, living together as four might be tough. And marriage... seemed kinda impossible. Or maybe not? As I spun wild fantasies,
"No, wait—is that the issue?"
"Hold on, Rie?"
Looking at the unnis' reactions and the chat, I finally realized I'd said something dumb again. What the hell was I even thinking? My face burned like it might explode.
"...W-Wait. That's not what I meant."
I tried to explain, but it felt too late. ...It'd only been about 2 hours since the stream started—hope this wasn't the last broadcast of the day?
