Chapter Title: Sushi Girl Duo

"Okay, shall we give it a try?"
Besides the community post from just now, we'd been chatting about all sorts of random stuff when the Battle Royale update finally finished.
- Go go
- Sniper waiting lol
- Get rekt bitch lol
"Hah, go ahead and snipe away if you're so confident. I'll go grab some water for now."
With that, she switched the stream to the waiting screen and quickly logged into Battle Royale.
No point telling them not to snipe—they'd do it anyway. Better to just sneak in a game and shake them off.
But...
Duuun-!
The epic startup sound blared through the stream, and the chat exploded.
-???
- Hey bitch lol
- Tried sneaking a game and got caught lol
- Water my ass lol
- Turn the mic back on
- Busted
"Shit..."
Caught red-handed.
She didn't turn the mic on right away, just scanned the chat to gauge the situation.
- Let's go go~! Let's go go~! Let's go go~! Let's go go~!
- Get rekt lol Get rekt lol Get rekt lol
- Gonna kill you Miro! lololol Gonna kill you Miro! lololol Gonna kill you Miro! lololol
"What a riot..."
Do they love sniping that much? She had no idea.
Still, to dodge them as best she could, she muted the game audio and started up.
Then, pretending she hadn't snuck in any gameplay, she turned the mic back on.
"Ahem, got my water."
- Sure you did~
- Oh really
- Enjoy your water~
"Shit... Busted. Alright, before we game, quick custom match."
As she glanced back at the screen, a match had already been found.
...What? Does it usually queue this fast?
Well, match secured, so she switched the stream back to full view.
-??? What is it?
- Huh?
- Already queued?
Chat didn't seem like snipers though?
Some event maybe?
"You guys aren't sniping me?"
- How could we snipe lol
- Yeah right
Not them? Or is it? Hard to tell.
Whatever, the game would reveal it.
"Anyway, as you can see, it's random duo."
Random duo was exactly that—pairing her with one random other player.
"Ahem, hello?"
She turned on team voice and tested the waters.
Viewer or random?
Priority one: figure that out.
[Hello?]
...?
"Yeah?"
[Um... Uh, h-hello?]
-lolololololol
-Sushi girl in the gallery lololol
-woah
-Japanese welcome lol
"No, uh... Hello?"
A real Japanese player? What are the odds? And this is Korean server.
[Yes! Pwease take care of me!]
"Ah... Yes..."
-lololololol
-Does she understand and reply?
-Sushi girl voice is nice ㅇㅇ
-Great job
What? A concept?
Nickname was English, but generic—no real meaning.
[Uh... I give you V-Taku.]
"Uh... Yes, understood..."
She scraped together her basic Japanese knowledge to reply.
Female Kim Suhyun had watched a few Japanese animes and a handful of native VTubers.
Amateur Japanese vocab was doable.
[You speak Japanese?]
"Huh? No no no."
[Oh.. Yes..]
Of course, she wasn't good at it.
When asked if she spoke Japanese and she denied it hard, a deflated voice came through the mic.
Wasn't it obvious she couldn't?
Still, felt bad—it was kinda her fault—so she tossed in some encouragement.
"Uh... Ganbare."
[...! Yes!]
Whoa, great reaction.
Maybe the Japanese girl should be streaming instead?
-lololololol
-Sushi girl cute lol
-Wtf??
-Just land already
-Too good, but it's passing
-GIF it
"Uh, ah,"
Too focused on chat, she missed the drop timing.
How do you say "get off the plane" in Japanese?
Brain freeze hit, but luckily the Japanese girl spoke first.
[G-Get off now.]
Awkward, but solid Korean—she replied right away.
"Yes..."
-Why's the Japanese using Korean and Korean using Japanese?
-Both suck at talking lol
-Just pick one language
She muted team mic during loot and chatted with viewers.
"If I speak Korean, she won't understand."
-You wouldn't get her awkward Japanese either;
-Looks like she knows Korean-ish
"From what I see, she's doing the same. Doesn't know Japanese well, so brain maxed out on Korean."
-Hmm... Maybe...
-Still, just use Korean?
-Korean server, if it bugs her she should learn ㅇㅇ
"Go easy on her. She's trying with Korean."
-Yep ^^
-But she's a jap first...
[ㅇㅇ-nim, thanks for 1,000 won donation!]
Ask if Dokdo is ours, it's 10,000 won.
"Hey!"
-lolololololololololol
-You gonna take that?
-Don't and you're a traitor ㅇㅇ
-Do it quick
"What if she goes Dokdo? Or... Takeshima? Then what?"
-You're the worst
-This bitch...
-War then ㅇㅇ
-Crazy bitch?
"No, viewers led her on first."
-When did we crazy bitch
-We're strangers~
-Get out
-Who dis?
-Stop the anti-Japan
-NoJapan lol
"Now you're trying to deep-fry me? Fine. I'm going back to chat with the Japanese girl, so behave."
-??
-Did... we mess up?
-Sorry anyway!
Loot done enough. Turned team voice back on to communicate.
"Uh... Let's go...!"
[Yes, g-going!]
-Fuck what is this lololol
-Buncha idiots lol
"This way... Uh... Go!"
[Yes!]
Surprisingly, they kinda understood each other.
No need for complex words in game—just directions, and she followed well.
And...
"Attack!"
[Yes.. Uh! Enemy!]
Rat-tat-tat-!
"Uh... O..."
This Japanese girl was good.
Unlike her—who couldn't say "amazingly good"—the girl was straight-up skilled at FPS, wiping two enemies solo every time.
"Whoa... Sugoi..."
-Whoa sugoi... Agreed lolol
-What're you doing
-Korean disqualified fr...
"No helping it, she's good."
-Gonna give her Dokdo?
-Lost Korea-Japan war...
-Swim back
"Anyway, we're taking first this round?"
Japanese girl too strong.
And she pulled her weight too?
Mostly smokes or driving—solid support.
Result: Final two teams left.
Fought tooth and nail in the small circle against two foes.
[Ah! Bad...]
Bad luck—grenade hit the Japanese girl first, downing her. Solo now.
"Uh, what do?"
Opponents were one of the last surviving teams.
No way she could take both.
-2v1 go go
-Save the Japanese
-Kill Japanese take loot
"No guys, I main smoke and drive—can't kill two."
Not a fighter, right? Inventory: no frags, smokes galore.
-Translation) I suck at shooting
-Then what;
-Smoke all revive Japanese
-Kill Japanese smoke take loot go
Stuck hesitating with two enemies ahead.
Then, through headset, downed Japanese girl's voice.
[P-Pwease... revive...]
Awkward Korean, but desperate plea hit home.
Yeah, rode the bus this far—gotta clutch one.
"Aa... Mankai!"
[...!]
Dumped all smokes around the downed girl.
"Here goes!"
Dodged incoming bullets post-smoke, dashed to piggyback her.
[On... ni...!]
"Couldn't leave you, eye boo."
-ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
-Touching ㅜㅜ
-Great Miro ㅜㅜㅜ
But while smoking, enemies closed in—footsteps right ahead.
[R-Run...!]
Nah? If running, wouldn't have saved.
Hid behind cover quick to revive.
Step-step-
Time wasted, enemies now super close.
[Onni...!]
"Ganbare! I'll buy time..!"
Revived, but Japanese girl's HP bottomed.
She had more HP left—her turn.
Dove into lingering smoke, shooting to aggro.
Bang! Rat-tat-tat!
Tanked wild shots in smoke, buying time.
[G-Going!]
Boom! Tat-tat!
Fully healed Japanese rejoined—they snatched first.
"Nice!"
[Yatta!! Onii-san sugoi!!]
"Haa..."
Afterglow lingers.
Actually clutched first.
Just one game, but poured all energy in.
-Cya lololololol
-Japan supporter from today
-Korea-Japan masterpiece ㅜㅜㅜ
-Fr real epic
-Legend lololol
-Friend her for next duo go go go
"Next round? Eh..."
Quit the game. No energy left.
-?
-???
-Don't bullshit
-??
"Someday if fate allows, we'll meet again."
-Please...
-One more round?
-Sorry... Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...
-Hands up please... Hands up please... Hands up please...
[Artisan Miro-nim, thanks for 100,000 won donation!]
No game needed, just requeue and friend the Japanese pls...
"Uh..."
Requeued—thankfully, Japanese accepted friend.

And after that.
A message came from the Manager.
