4. Is This Real? (1)

Recently, the most talked-about topic within the Dimensional Gallery could be said to be none other than 「Star Wars」.

There are two reasons for this in total.

The first is, of course, the incident where the 300-member suicide squad who escaped from Seo-jin's room a while ago burned down the entire gallery.

The second was that, although it's unknown where on earth it was leaked from, some parts of the content of 「Star Wars 4」, which was aired in Seo-jin's room a while ago, were released on the market as Shorts.

Of course, it wasn't the first time Shorts became popular within the gallery.

Without needing to go far, didn't the Shorts of ‘BestSpeciesInTheUniverseElf’ falling to become a carnivore also become a big topic within the gallery a while ago?

However, this Short seemed to be quite different from the Short featuring the Elf.

Because the gallery users, who were busy ridiculing her while watching the carnivore fall Short, were feeling somewhat conflicting emotions while watching this Short.

Even seen through the eyes of someone who knows nothing, the movie scene in the Short was incredibly cool and splendid beyond measure.

A scene where two martial artists clash flashy Lightsabers against each other with space as the background was bound to stimulate a man's romance.

Especially considering that the majority of gallery users had been watching documentaries that weren't even a tiny bit fun while calling them movies until now.

Thus, Seo-jin's channel was promoted before anyone knew it from ‘a newbie's room only watched by those who watch’ to ‘a streamer's channel that can still become a topic within the gallery’.

Even a mere 15-second Short is this fun, so people couldn't help but be interested in how fun it would be if they watched the full version.

As a result.

That's why users who always reside in the gallery and took the bait related to 「Star Wars」 ran to Seo-jin's channel as if promised beforehand.

“Ah, everyone. Long time no see. I came after charging enough mana in case of ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠any unforeseen situation, so you don't have to enter too urgently. Hmm? Huh...?”

Meanwhile, Seo-jin, not knowing what on earth happened in the gallery while he didn't turn on the broadcast, unintentionally tilted his head.

After all, he was expecting the number of viewers coming to watch his broadcast today wouldn't be much different from last time.

‘300, 500.... What? Already passed 1,000?’

The number of viewers who accessed the channel to watch his broadcast this time was a whopping 1,200.

It was a tremendous number, a whopping 4 times the number of viewers who watched 「Star Wars 4」 with him last time.

As if to prove it, unlike when there were barely 300 viewers, comments coming up at a terrifying speed.

Naturally, this phenomenon could be said to be a good thing for Seo-jin, who wanted to become a big corporation capable of supplying large amounts of mana as soon as possible.

Conversely, it also meant that even vicious trolls, which didn't exist much among existing viewers, had flowed in largely.

‘...Why is Yoplait suddenly acting like this?’

I remembered the ID because it's a user who sponsored me a considerable amount a few times, but suddenly ramming into another person with no brakes is a bit perplexing.

‘Perhaps something bad happened recently? If not that, maybe things aren't going well, or they spent a lot of money on weird places?’

It seems the mental state is a bit not good today, but still, ‘ITrowAwayYoplaitLidWithoutLicking’ is a big spender in our room and one of the precious Chairmen.

If I don't take care of such a VIP among VIPs, who on earth will?

Therefore, feeling like a zookeeper taming a chimpanzee, I opened my mouth with the calmest tone possible.

“Ahem. ‘ITrowAwayYoplaitLidWithoutLicking’-nim, and ‘WhiteLotusCultIsNotADemonicCult’-nim. Thank you very much for sponsoring. First of all, please do not fight, you two. Both of you are my precious viewers, seeing you fight like that hurts my heart a lot. So I ask you to please calm down.”

“But ‘ITrowAwayYoplaitLidWithoutLicking’-nim. Leaving everything else aside, one of the things Yoplait-nim said really scratches me.”

“I will guarantee it here. 「Star Wars 5」 is certainly a work that perfectly surpassed 「Star Wars 4」. If you want a bet, we can do it anytime. If Yoplait-nim doesn't get that feeling even after watching the whole movie, I will grant any wish Yoplait-nim wants.”

“Yes, that is so.”

To my confident answer, Yoplait sent a donation message as if puzzled.

“Hmm, would it really be so? I don't think so.”

Well, if it were usual, I would have thought the same as Yoplait.

But the movie to be screened in a moment is none other than a whopping 「Star Wars 5」.

Whether this is really a favorable condition for ‘ITrowAwayYoplaitLidWithoutLicking’ or not, wouldn't we have to see to know?

With that message as the last, no one sent a donation message until the screening of the movie ended.

The chat window where trolls guaranteed they would troll throughout the movie screening also maintained only silence as if writing comments was forbidden.

The universe turned off for a moment.
