Chapter Title: Touch a Blue and You'll Get It Good!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually, after losing two members, even the President and I ended up dying pointlessly.
Once we'd thrown away the first round like that, the President vented her frustration.
"Hey, you guys! If I tell you something, you need to listen! Lilith, I said let's all run together—why the hell were you farming there?! And Yuki, if you're going to save her, what about the rest of us?!"
"Sorry..."
"I was out of painkillers, so..."
"Then you ask us for some! Is this a team?!"
The two looked dejected at the President's scolding and apologized.
I watched silently, then clenched my fists and tried to lighten the mood.
"It's okay, President! The first game's always just a warm-up! Plus, Lilith-unnie probably didn't want to trouble us, so she went to loot on her own. And Yuna couldn't just leave her unnie behind."
"Lulu...!"
"Maknae...!"
"Sigh... Lulu, you're too nice—that's your problem. Sometimes you gotta say, 'Listen up, you idiots, at least follow orders!'"
"Ah, even so, that's a bit..."
No, I don't think it's about being super forgiving.
Sure, that last play was bad, no denying it.
But how can anyone always play a game 100% rationally?
Plus, if I'd just held on a bit longer at the end, I could've clutched the chicken solo.
So in a way, we're all at fault.
That's why we just gotta shake it off, try again, and go for the chicken.
Chae-yoon unnie and Yuna got chewed out by the President too, so they'll play properly from now on.
"Hoo, let's jump into round two right away. If you don't listen this time, I'm leaving you behind, got it?"
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
"At least you answer well, jeez..."
"F-Fighting!"
With the Cherries cheering us on, we dove into the second round.
This map was Taego, the new one based on Korea.
"President, how about Goodeok this time?"
"Goodeok? Lulu, have you been hanging around these kids too much?"
"Huh?!"
The moment I suggested heading to Goodeok, Taego's big city hotspot, the President snapped back prickly, leaving me flustered.
But after hearing the Cherries' explanations, it made sense.
Apparently, before I joined, they'd gone Milbe in Erangel and gotten wrecked, so crowded spots make her wary.
"N-No, it's not that. I've barely played this map, so Goodeok's pretty much the only place I know..."
"Oh, really? Then let's go. Do whatever you want, Lulu."
"President, isn't the treatment for us and the maknae way different?"
"What? Wanna get ditched?"
"N-No! Following right now!"
There was a little commotion, but the President respected my call.
As planned, we deployed parachutes over Goodeok and dropped in.
Whoa, as expected from a big city—quite a few players landing.
Still, fewer than I thought.
Four of us can handle this easy.
"Yuna, wanna stick close and loot together? Better to watch each other's backs."
"Yeah! Right on it."
"Maknae, what about unnie? Give me an order too."
"Uh, unnie, you should stay with the President. Your position's perfect right now..."
"OK! Confirmed!"
Right, come to think of it, Yuna's a looting beast.
I'd watched her play a few PUBG rounds lately.
Her aim and recoil control are iffy from low playtime, but her looting? Untouchable.
No wonder Darudan calls her the Golden Goblin.
Not the nicest term since it means she loots and hands it over, but still—a great looter helps the team tons. Yes.
"Oh? 8x scope! Lulu-chan, want it?"
"Huh? You can use it, Yuna..."
"Nah, I suck with 8x anyway! Got a Kar98 too, here!"
Totally.
No need to shower me specifically.
I get it if she doesn't like SRs like the Kar98, though.
Luckily, I dig the Kar98 plenty, so I'd gladly take it.
Not that it's a trade exactly, but I should give her something too.
Oh, perfect.
Yuna comes into the house for the Kar98 and scope, so I drop a gun in front of her.
An M4A1.
Iconic FPS assault rifle, and a PUBG newbie favorite.
Damage is meh, but recoil is buttery smooth.
Makes lead shots a breeze.
That's why it's Yuna's top pick.
"Yuna! M4 here. Your fave, right?"
"Whoa! Thanks, Lulu-chan. But how'd you know?"
"Hehe, of course I know."
We kept looting, trading gear to fill gaps.
Ratatat-! Bang-!
Gunfire started popping off nearby, getting closer.
Big city means fights everywhere, inevitable.
We should clear a few squads early.
"Kids, looting done?"
"Yep, I'm good!"
"Me too."
"Same here, this should do."
"Alright, time to move. Circle's far, but clearing here now makes rotates easier later."
The President had the same idea and called it.
Yuna and I, sticking with her, climbed to the roof to scout.
Tallest building in Goodeok.
On the edge too.
Less rear worry, great sightlines—prime real estate.
"Whoa, this spot's amazing."
"Yeah, Goodeok honey hole."
As Yuna marveled and we scanned around, a squad passed in the distance.
Bit risky to engage from here.
Better to watch?
Vroooom-!
"Huh?! Vehicle! Vehicle! Lulu-chan, behind us! Coming down the hill!"
"Hill?!"
Mid-thought, Yuna's urgent yell made me whip around.
A car was barreling down the small hill behind us.
They quick-looted the small buildings up top and are coming for our spot.
Ugh, my bad.
That hill's so exposed—vehicles risky there.
Usually no one drops via it to Goodeok, so I slacked.
Ratatat-!
"Kyaaah?!"
They sprayed from the car while hill-diving.
Yuna, watching the rear, got her HP shredded and downed instantly.
Newbie mistake—poked out too far over the railing.
That moment, something snapped in my head.
They dared touch my Yuna?!
You're all dead!
"Yuna! I'll save you—eat this medkit and wait! Got it?"
I drop a medkit first, revive her.
Revived Yuna uses it, voice laced with worry.
"U-Uh, yeah. But what about you, Lulu-chan?"
"Gonna kill everyone who hurt Yuna. Don't worry—just wait here."
I said that, but Yuna wouldn't let me go alone and followed.
Enemy squad: four players.
No backup soon, so just us two vs. four.
Frontal assault? No way.
Flank from behind it is.
"Yuna, sorry—keep rolling frags downstairs from here? Cover my descent noise."
"Got it! Try shooting too?"
"Yeah, that works."
I order Yuna, then slip out the balcony sideways.
Boom! Frag goes off as I drop outside to first floor.
Noise masked my landing—they didn't hear.
Good, perfect.
They're only watching second floor and roof.
First target.
Ratatat-!
No hesitation—spray the visible enemy, down instantly.
Footsteps rush from inside the room.
They've claimed first floor, rushing to window me.
Ratatat-!
Predictive spray, but I dodge back—missed.
From cover, prep a frag.
Not at that window they peeked.
The one next door.
Pull pin, 1... 2... Now!
Whoosh—Boom!
Knew they'd peek there.
Wouldn't risk circling outside—someone from second might watch the door.
Two left now.
They couldn't revive the first—no time with Yuna suppressing from above.
Rumble-!
"Huh?! Lulu-chan! One downed! I got him!"
"Whoa! Thanks, Yuna!"
Yuna's clutch makes it 4v2 to 1v2 in seconds.
Enemy's choice now: bail to another building to survive solo, or push to wipe us and claim the spot.
"Oh, incoming! Lulu-chan, he's in the building!"
"Got it! On my way!"
They chose push—figured Yuna can't see stairs, just ran in.
I stealth after, creep up to second floor.
Poking head at stairs, spot him pacing the opposite room.
Gonna room-push, huh?
Fine.
You touched our Yuna—ain't letting you off easy.
Fwoosh-
"Yuna's avenger—DIE!!"
Molotov in hand, burst in and chuck it deep.
Flames spread past wall, lick door into hall.
And the final kill message pops.
"Yuna! Last guy's down! We won!"
"For real?! Lulu-chan, you're the best!"
"Hehe, only 'cause of your support."
I relay the news, then Yuna and I dance across from each other, basking in joy.
Go ahead, try messing with our Yuna again!
I'll show you what happens!
