Choosing a Name for the Viewers!
"Hey, System." The moment I got home, the first thing I did was call out to the System.
> [Yes? What is it?]
"What do you mean 'what is it'... is there nothing this time?"
> [Hmm? You didn't really suffer any damage this time, did you?]
"...Is that so?" Even though I'd been secretly filmed, it had been resolved well, so there wasn't any major damage.
> [That's exactly it.]
"Ugh... but can't you do something as a preventative measure? Do I always have to get hit first and then receive compensation?"
> [?]
> [You don't even get compensation usually, do you?]
What did you say, you brat?
> [Don't curse! •_•]
"Ha... so why don't you tell me in advance?"
> [Because that's only natural?]
"Natural...?"
> [Gods don't know everything. I can only know things related to human lives at the very least.]
"...So you didn't know I would get targeted?"
> [Of course! You're a special case!!! >,<]
> [Since you aren't originally from this world, there is nothing I can know in advance about you!!! That is the word.]
Aha, you little mutt... "Ugh, ack!"
> [If you keep cursing! I'm going to get angry!!! °•°]
"Yeah... I get it, but why did you bring me here? If what you said is true, aren't I just a giant variable to you?"
> [Hmm... You are a giant variable, yes.]
> [But! That's why I brought you here!]
What kind of fresh nonsense is this?
> [How would it feel if you always lived knowing about every major event?]
"...I don't know?" I really hadn't thought about it, so I didn't know.
> [It's suuuuper boring.]
"...?" Is this kid saying she risks people's lives just for the sake of fun?
> [No, no, it's not to that extent...]
"Then what is it?"
> [You can't stop it anyway.]
"Ah."
> [Even if a war breaks out... even if a terrorist attack happens... there's nothing I can do.]
"Then why am I..."
> [Well, because you're a person from another world, I can do whatever I want with you.]
"...? Isn't it usually the opposite?"
> [Well...? To me, this is common sense?]
"Is that so?" I didn't know for sure, but it seemed that was common sense in the realm of gods.
"But how did you bring me here?"
> [Uh... It's a secret! ~.~]
"..." Forget it. What do I expect from a kid?
Before turning on the broadcast, I checked my phone and saw a message from Lawyer Lee Hyojung.
"Hmm..." I sent a simple reply saying "I understand" and provided Hanna's phone number, then turned on the broadcast.
...And immediately turned it off.
"...Phew. That was close." I forgot to turn on the voice modulation program. I prepared properly this time and started the broadcast about 3 minutes later.
haha
lol
Why did you turn it off earlier?
lol
lol
As soon as I turned the broadcast back on, the chat started flying. Maybe because I'd caused a bit of a stir earlier, a lot of people had joined.
"...I accidentally hit the power strip switch."
As expected of Hakuryu
I trusted you!
Just a trashy day as usual
"Ahem, how dare you say such harsh things to the Queen. Do you wish to become a slave?"
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
lolololol
Fast apology recognized
PippoPpi: Slave?
Oh, slave #2 has appeared.
No, it's slave #1 now. It changed before.
"Oh. Our Ppi-ppi is here." I saw Hanna in the chat. "So, what I've prepared for today is..."
Is it roulette again?
Illiterate was fun though.
How about Steel Heart?
Just play Overwatch.
I didn't actually have anything prepared, so I was just looking at the chat. 'Overwatch? I heard that's fun these days.'
"Overwatch! I'll give it a try."
This guy 100% decided based on the chat
Recognized. The delay was super long.
"...You caught me. Hehe."
lolololol
Honesty is good.
Do you even know how to play Overwatch?
"Overwatch? I used to be Platinum back in the day."
Oh, Plat
Back in the day?
"About Season 10?"
Are you talking about Overwatch 1?
? Overwatch has a 2?
...
Well, it doesn't exist anymore.
lolololol
"Ah, I played a bit when Overwatch 2 came out, but only about 2 matches?"
Sigh.
Who do you usually play?
"Hero? I usually played Reinhardt?"
Siiigh.
Wait, take your hand off that mouse.
Calm down! Calm down please!!!
"I have to download it anyway since I didn't prepare. Just wait a bit."
Rein, huh...
(That BGM starts playing)
Don't you play other heroes?
"Others... maybe Roadhog?"
(That BGM 2 starts playing)
Don't you ever learn Mauga.
This is truly legendary.
Why not play D.Va or Winston...
"Because D.Va and Winston are dizzying. It's too hard to move around so much."
You're the real deal.
Can't you cancel the download even now?
At least learn Orisa...
"Ahem. We'll talk more about Overwatch later! We have something to do right now!"
?
Why are you acting all serious suddenly?
If this turns out to be nothing, you're dead.
"It's deciding your name!!!"
Oho.
Now that I think about it, we didn't have one.
Is it necessary for someone like you? (Message deleted)
"First, I'll take nominations!" I opened a notepad and displayed it on the broadcast screen.
Hmm...
Now that I'm trying to think, nothing comes to mind?
Is it even necessary?
Just outsource it?
"Outsource... is that short for Hakuryu viewers?"
How does viewer name become an outsourcing company lololol
Then is Hakuryu the prime contractor?
No, just the requested goods.
"I'll write it down for now, but..." I had no choice but to write 'Outsource' on the first line of the notepad.
What does Hakuryu mean?
"Did I not explain the meaning of Hakuryu?"
Idk?
Don't remember.
Isn't it White Dragon?
"That's right. It means White Dragon in Japanese."
Then why is the hair black?
Then why is it a Queen?
Then why is the background Western fantasy?
This guy has nothing that matches the nickname lololol
"Ahem. I have my reasons. Anyway, now that I've told you the meaning of Hakuryu, give me more ideas."
White Dragon, huh...
The one I know is Blue-Eyes...
"Blue-Eyes?" The famous Blue-Eyes White Dragon from a certain card game. "Does anyone know what Blue-Eyes is in Japanese?"
Ao
Aka!

Murasaki!
They're losing their minds.
"Why do you guys have such good chemistry..." Watching the viewers show off their perfect synergy, I read the next chats.
"Aome... the nuance isn't great, is it?"
Recognized.
Just go with 'Ao!'?
Sometimes when angry, it becomes 'Aka!' lol
"Well, I'll write it down for now." I wrote Aome and Ao on the notepad, then focused back on the chat.
"Punun-i? That's cute."
...The nuance is okay, but
Do we really have to be called that by a woman?
Recognized recognized
"Hey, what's wrong with that? If it tastes good, that's all that matters. I'll take more suggestions for about 5 more minutes, then we'll vote!"
After exactly 5 minutes, the list of candidates for the Hakuryu viewer name was created.
1. Outsource
2. Aome
3. Ao
4. Punun-i
5. Ha-pyeong
Ha-pyeong, which was added near the end, means 'Commoner of Queen Hakuryu'.
"Then, let's start the vote!"
Doki doki

4 seems best?
1 is hilarious
Please please
And after about 1 minute...
"Voting closed!"
[Final Results]
1. Outsource (33 votes)
2. Aome (14 votes)
3. Ao (11 votes)
4. Punun-i (35 votes)
5. Ha-pyeong (2 votes)
"Wow! Punun-i beat Outsource by 2 votes!!! So, your name is officially Punun-i!"
Ah, we lost this.
Is Punun-WhiteDragon real?
No, the owner's name is Japanese, why are we Korean?
It's just going without any foundation.
"Yes. Welcome, our Punun-i. Since Overwatch finished downloading while we were doing this, I'll start right away."
"It's changed so much?"
Overwatch, which I hadn't played in a while, was very different from what I remembered. I already knew that there was only one tank, but... the countless new maps and heroes threw me into chaos. To make matters worse, the fact that many of the existing heroes had their skills changed significantly threw me into despair.
Just study and then play.
Kuryu, if you play now, you'll just get cursed at.
But isn't it Quick Play anyway?
"Punun-i, do you know what my nickname is?"
? What is it?
Idiot
Super idiot
Loser, loser, dummy

"Typical of an 'Egen-nyeo' (female streamer). You learn by getting hit." I joined the Quick Play queue without hesitation. "Oh, this sister isn't scared. I'll just learn by getting hit."
...
Wait, are you going to play Reinhardt?
"Of course it's Reinhardt. Is there anything else?" Despite many viewers trying to stop me at my declaration...
"No. Does the world end if I play Rein? Why are you making such a fuss?" I prepared for the game without any worries.
"Welcome to the game." It was popular these days, so the game was found quickly. "Select your map."
"Hmm... I only know one." I chose the Egypt map, the only one I recognized among the three candidates. A moment later, a square box was created according to the votes, and the draw proceeded.
"Please, Egypt... Ah."
"Welcome to Peru." Unfortunately, I was headed to Peru, not Egypt.
"Push... how did that work again?" Overwatch has countless maps, and the way to win depends on the map. Among them, 'Push' was a victory method that appeared after Overwatch 2 was released... which was very unfamiliar to me, as I had only played Overwatch 1 diligently.
"Well. I'll just wing it." It was Quick Play anyway. In other words, my rank wouldn't drop even if I lost. As soon as the hero selection screen appeared, I selected Reinhardt.
"I will protect you! My friends!" Hearing Reinhardt's reassuring lines, I looked at the heroes my team had selected. Soldier 76, Genji, Moira, Mercy. Thankfully, they were all heroes I knew.
"Healing should be enough."
...
I have a bad feeling about this.
It's Quick Play anyway. Yeah.
After about 20 seconds of preparation time, the game began in earnest.
