Chapter Title: Lulu Supremacy? No, Lilith Supremacy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Huaaah, that was tense.
Chae-yoon unnie's pretty good too, huh.
I tried my best to dodge her skills, but she predicted some and nailed me. Got me a little surprised.
No matter how I look at it, that's not Silver-tier skill.
If unnie practices just a bit more, she could hit Gold at least, right?
It's just been bad team luck so far. Yeah.
After wrapping up the 1v1 with a win...
Dons and chats immediately started roasting Chae-yoon unnie.
As a true Pista, I couldn't just sit back and watch, so I was about to fire back...
Ding-a-ling- Ding-a-ling-
"Huh? Li, Lilith unnie?"
A Discord call from Chae-yoon unnie popped up.
Why right now of all times...?!
Anyway, I couldn't ignore it, so I hit accept right away.
A zombie-like voice came through from the other end.
『Maknae-ya...』
"Y-Yeah, unnie? You okay? Your voice sounds half-dead...?!"
『Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just had a little drink.』
"Eek?!"
Ah, what? It was a joke.
I really thought unnie had been drinking for real.
Of course, we don't have a specific rule against booze streams.
But President said external collabs are one thing, but booze streams need prior approval no exceptions.
『Anyway, our maknae... you're good, huh? You picked Yasuo on purpose to make unnie hit a wall, right?』
"N-No! All my chars use mana, so Yasuo felt advantageous... That's all!"
『Sure, sure. Unnie gets it.』
Unnie sounded not convinced at all, but affirmed anyway.
Ah, no...! Really no!
I never thought I was better at Yasuo than unnie!
I just picked it 'cause it's no-mana and comfy, that's it!
Stop misunderstandingggg!
『Haa, over 2,000 solo queue games, and I lose to a maknae who just hit max level... What a waste of time.』
"N-No, unnie. It was super close! Bad luck and I might've lost."
『Wow, our maknae's got winner's magnanimity too. Making unnie feel even more pathetic, huh?』
"Uuu... N-Nooo..."
With unnie's mental completely shattered right now, nothing I say would get through anyway.
Yeah, better stay quiet.
Winners should keep silent dignity before the loser, right?
『Yeah, what can a loser unnie say to the maknae who crushed her? Time to bow to our Gold maknae.』
"Huh? Bow?"
I was trying to stay silent, but unnie's cryptic words made my mouth open on its own.
What does "bow to her" mean?
No, coming here? Where?!
No way...
Thud thud-
"Unnie?!"
Hasty footsteps echoed over the mic.
I called out anxiously, but no reply.
About 30 seconds passed like that.
Thump- Thump-
"Huh?"
Clear footsteps piercing through the soundproof booth.
Not footsteps exactly.
More like the ground's vibrations transmitting directly.
And I could tell the owner was pissed.
Clack-
"Maknae-ya! Loser unnie's hereeeee!"
"Eeeee?!"
The door suddenly burst open without warning.
And there stood Chae-yoon unnie, yelling at the top of her lungs.
Cherries and I were equally shocked.
She actually came...?!
"This lowly unnie hereby acknowledges Lulu Supremacy from this moment on!"
"W-Wait! Unnie! Why the sudden dogeza...!"
Unnie straight-up dogeza'd and chanted Lulu Supremacy, delighting the Cherries but leaving me flustered.
Same-team unnie dogeza-ing outta nowhere—who'd be happy about that...!
Well, maybe Yuna would be a little thrilled.
"But Lulu Supremacy's Lulu Supremacy—we still gotta settle up, right, maknae?"
"Huh? S-Settle what?"
Before I could stop her, unnie smoothly got up.
She eyed me sharply and crept closer.
Se-Settlement? What settlement?
Anything between us to settle?
Sure, she bought coffee last time, but...
Unnie wouldn't hold that against me now, right?
Grab-
"...Huh?"
While racking my brain...
Unnie suddenly hugged me tight and scooped me up princess-style.
Wa-Wait...!
Unnie, isn't your strength kinda insane?!
Even as Blue LUV's undisputed powerhouse...
I'm late 30s kg, and you lift me this easy?!
"Lulu Supremacy in game, but Lilith Supremacy in real life—I'll show ya!"
"Nyaaaa?!"
Thud-
Unnie pounced on me on the bed and started tickling.
Super weak to this, I laughed helplessly while inwardly crying.
After rolling around awhile, unnie finally got off the bed...
"Heh, I win."
She sauntered to the mic, smirking smugly.
Uuu...
Defiled in front of the Cherries...
Sorry, Cherries...
Anyway, after the 1v1 with unnie, the week passed smoothly.
Now, just one day left until the Twitch LoL auction tournament, aka the Homegrown Hogs event.
Participation confirmed, so I waited with pounding excitement.
Lots of familiar faces among the confirmed players.
Like Bandit-san from that Last game we played together before.
Or NyanTamon unnie from those fun Prism runs.
NyanTamon unnie shows up at every tourney, it seems.
Makes sense—she's famous for all-games.
Heard her network's huge too.
I'm here to expand my circle and meet folks too.
Still, it'd be nice to have at least one familiar face on the team.
Too much to hope for?
Whoa, as expected of an official Twitch tourney—mostly big-name streamers.
All people I've at least heard of.
Even Hyper War wasn't this stacked.
Eee, what do I do? Already nervous.
"E-Everyone. Can I get bid on tomorrow? Feels like I'll pass unsold at this rate..."
Looking at the participant list with Cherries, I tossed out my anxiety.
Everyone's so stacked—does a noob mid like me even belong?
Most won't know me; will I even get bid on?
"Unsolds? Oh, yeah, kinda makes sense..."
Ah, that's a take.
Bids mean people want you.
Even if you flop, you get that "free flop pass."
Less pressure on the unsold player too.
Thinking that way, unsold might be chillier.
No team captain'd waste points on a scrub like me anyway.
Hypothetically, unsold beats heavy investment.
Yeah, cool.
I'll aim for unsold.
Totally doable.
"Huh?! M-Me? Why...?!"
Just as I fueled my positive delusions...
A Cherry with a suspiciously apt nick dropped a don.
Problem: the message was too big to ignore.
Captains licking chops? Why me?!
What does a gold mid scrub have to offer...?
"Ah, thanks for the video don!"
Had chat muted briefly, but vid arrived.
Was gonna check and ditch if weird—looks fine.
Wait, that guy in the video... looks familiar...
Ah, right!
It's Glow, the ex-Rune Gaming pro who's cap/coach this time.
Huh? Wait.
That voice...
Isn't it the Empire pro who helped me recently?
Same team back in the day, so on a call maybe?
More importantly, what'd the Empire pro just say?
If my ears aren't lying...
...Yup, heard right.
No hallucination.
But why isn't this a hallucination...
No, this has to be a dream.
Tomorrow I'm unsold, hopping on a bus all chill-like.
So stop lying, everyone.
