Chapter Title: For Lulu-chan, Big Sister's Happiness Comes First!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chae-yoon, or rather Lilith, had quite a hefty bag.
Just until a moment ago, that is.
Thanks to diving into the dungeon yesterday with her exploration buddy Yukiko, slaying monsters, and pocketing some decent spoils.
- Oh
- Check out that stuffed bag lololol
- Tons of pipes, casino time??
"Casino?"
That's when, thanks to one viewer's suggestion, she learned about this place called the casino.
She hadn't even stopped by on the day she first collabed with Lulu, so curiosity piqued.
Not that she was big into gambling or anything.
Since it wasn't real-world betting anyway, she figured she'd give it a whirl for fun and headed over.
Honestly, it was also fueled by her rock-solid confidence that she was lucky.
"Alright, alright... 20k on 2, come on 2...! Kyaa! It's 2!"
- YEEEEEE
- No way it hit lololololol
- How's she this good??
- Gambling prodigy :O
Things started off smooth sailing.
She rolled in with nearly 900 pipes and ballooned it up to 1,400 at one point.
With a win rate pushing over 60%, her confidence started to swell.
The viewers' praise played no small part in that.
'Am I actually pretty good at this?'
Yep, she really was a lucky girl, just like she thought.
Firm in that belief, Lilith kept spinning the roulette wheel.
Her initial timid bets of 20 or 50 pipes ramped up to 100, even 200—that said it all.
But gambling's always like that, right?
Every hot streak has its cold snap.
And Lilith couldn't escape that fateful wheel either.
"Wha—what...? No way! That was a 3 just now! How'd it get called as 2?!"
- LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
- Nah, that's a 2~
- 400 pipe faceplant lololololol
- Total wipeout kekekekeke
She'd boldly dumped around 400 pipes on 3 with total swagger.
But watching 2 pop up, she tore at her hair.
"No! 20?! What's the odds difference between 2 and 20...!"
- It hit lolololololol
- She wiped??
- GG'd lololololol
Shifting to safer plays, she all-in'd on the highest-odds 2.
But reverse hit, 20 came up, and she lost every last pipe.
One bad break after another piled on.
Her near-1,400 pipe stack dwindled to just 82 before she knew it.
"Sis! Can I borrow just a few pipes? A hundred... no, two hundred! I'll pay back double, four hundred!"
Under the crushing pressure to win it back.
She begged her fellow member Ellin—who'd cluelessly wandered into the casino—for startup cash.
Dreaming big of rebuilding her empire.
"Nooo! Tell me it's a dream!"
"...Lilith?"
- Ellin's voice lololololol
- Ellin rn: What the hell is this deadbeat doing??
- Lent her pipes and she blows it all gambling kekekeke
- Big sis's outfit ripping from rage echoing over here...
Just more debt and another total bust.
Viewers urged her to pull it together, farm outside, and at least pay Ellin back principal.
"No way! I can't leave like this! The world's wrong, not me!"
Refusing to slink away a loser, Lilith started bartering with everyone around.
Sold the clothes off her back.
Even hawked rare fire arrows from the dungeon.
Scraped together pipes for one more shot...
"Hic... This can't be... I got nothing left now..."
- Folks, this is how dangerous gambling is
- Perfect PSA clip for anti-gambling ads
- President Kang... you watching? This is your monster...
- Tbf President Kang did nothing wrong...
Even that got obliterated in the most pathetic wipe yet.
A true beggar now, staring down her final game.
"Lilith sis! Ellin sis!"
Suddenly, that signature soft, tickly voice rang out from somewhere.
Two characters dashed into the casino.
Lilith was laser-focused on the roulette, so viewers couldn't catch their nicknames.
But the voice alone made it obvious who.
- Oh
- It's Lulu-chan
- Lu-ha-ru-ha
- Gambling-blind ignores her own lil sis lololol
The viewers roasted Lilith for it.
But she had no time to check chat, glued to her last-chance spin.
The wildly spinning roulette finally slowed, grinding to a halt.
In Lilith's eyes, fixed on her all-in 20 for the last shot:
[x2 Jackpot!]
"Ah..."
The highest-odds x2 win message stared back—the safest bet.
Head drooping in total defeat, Lilith gave up.
Approaching cautiously from behind was a familiar figure.
Blue LUV's adorable maknae, Lulu.
"Sis... you okay?"
- She's not okay Lulu-chan lololol
- Just ignore her
- Lulu-chan don't see this stuff nooo
- Cheer up cheer up whoo~
That voice hit like a spark in Lilith's brain.
Ellin had already gotten burned once and refused more pipes.
But Lulu—that sweet Lulu—might give her pathetic big sis another shot.
"Lulu...! Y-you got any spare pipes? Could sis borrow some?"
"Huh? Pipes...?"
Snapping her head up, she pleaded desperately with Lulu.
- You deadbeat lololololol
- Now scamming lil sis's pipes too kekeke
- Time to swim in the Han River...
- Like she'd give that up lololol
Viewers cackled at the sight.
Third sis with no shame, conning big sis then maknae.
Lulu probably clocked the situation at a glance anyway.
No way she'd foolishly hand over cash now.
"J-just one more time, for real. Pleeease? You're the only one I trust, Lulu-chan..."
"Gasp...!"
But they missed one thing.
Lulu's true nature—or rather, Jeong Da-jeong's.
A diehard Pista who lives and dies for Blue LUV.
Back in her prime, she'd watch four streams live at once, clip, edit vids.
Dedicated nearly 90% of her post-20s youth to the Blues.
No one grasps how a Blue's heartfelt plea hits her.
"Okay! Here, sis!"
Clatter—
"Uh, y-yeah...?"
No hesitation whatsoever.
Lilith froze at Lulu dumping them on the floor.
She's actually giving them?
To this obvious gambling wreck begging her lil sis?
"You'll totally win this time! Don't get down!"
- ????????????????
- She's actually giving it??
- No Lulu-chan don't...
- 3k pipes mid-this?? Bug??
- Where'd she farm that much??
The carefully gathered pipe count was jaw-dropping.
And with Lulu's signature cute pep talk, Lilith sensed something was deeply off.
"Yeah! I'll win big and treat our maknae right!"
But for someone already deep in gambling's grip.
Backing down wasn't even an option.
Just prove her worth to the haters who trashed her.
After handing every last pipe to Lilith sis.
I stepped out of the casino and wandered the nearby plains.
Lots of oil drums scattered around the casino grounds.
Clang- clang-
Mining them with my new stone pickaxe, viewers started questioning one by one.
- Why's Lulu-chan mining pipes?
- Any use for 'em?
- Only farming uses pipes afaik
- Nah base currency, useful all game
- Making weapons maybe?
Yeah, totally weird, right?
Pipes are a staple currency from early to late game, sure.
But not urgent for me right now.
Farming tools are higher priority for my field.
These pipes aren't for me, though.
Just in case Lilith sis runs short later and asks to borrow some.
Stockpiling ahead.
"Hehe, mining more pipes to give Lilith sis. She was so happy earlier... gonna bring a ton this time too."
- Huh?
- No Lulu-chan don't...
- Smells like a gambler dad's abused daughter
- Girl selling cans to feed fam, heartbreaking...
- Lulu-chan... we just want you happy...
"Gasp! Thanks for the 24,000 won donation...! Nah, I'm plenty happy right now?"
What're they on about?
Just being useful to sis makes me this happy.
Such overreactions.
- Hap?py
- This is happiness...?
- Too heartbreaking to watch...
- Does this kid even know what happy is?
- Came from Lilith's stream. Black Moon Squad apologizes. It's not much, but pipe money...
"Whoa, thanks for the 12,000 won donation! Pipe money? You didn't have to..."
- No pls take it...
- So sorry... so sorry...
-(Black Moon Squad headbutts emoticon)
-(Black Moon Squad headbutts emoticon)
- Black Moon Squad swarming to apologize is hilarious lolololol
- Explain yourselves
- How'd you raise your master you idiots lololol
- Because of you punks...! Lulu-chan... Lulu-chan...!
I wasn't doing it for money, so it felt awkward to accept.
But Lilith sis's viewers, the Black Moon Squad, flooded in begging me to take it, so I did.
Oh, lucky break.
Drum averages 5-7 drops.
9 is nuts.
Gotta gather more for sis.
She'll love it, right? Hehe.
