Should I Really Discipline the Mesugaki IRL?
Do I really have to properly school the mesugaki and the handcam guy? Or can I just do it in real life to begin with? Now that I've already taken the donations, the moment I say I can't do it, I have a feeling the chat will be flooded with nothing but "ruined" spam.
I'm screwed... This won't cause any controversy, right? Just in case, I left my phone where it was and stealthily checked out the person in the seat in front of me. If some jacked gym rat sister who benches 500kg showed up, I felt like all my teeth would turn to gold caps. So, what did the guy in front of me look like~? When I teased him earlier, his voice sounded a bit ambiguous for a girl, so with a pounding heart, I sneaked a peek.
"Huh...?"
"Apologize to the eggs dying every month!"
My prejudice that no one spouting weird shit like that could look normal shattered in an instant. A boy who looked way smaller than me was covering his mouth with his hand, still staring at his screen and cracking up. It was cuter than I expected. The gap between his words and his appearance overloaded my brain—I couldn't think straight.
That kind of kid until now... My goal was just to scope out info on him before schooling him, but it was so sudden my head couldn't keep up. For now, I went back to my seat and stared at my phone, which was filming live, lost in thought. Should I drop the mission... or go through with it and school the boy in front of me?
"E-Everyone... Th-That is..."

I'll chip in 100k if you school him. I'm screwed... I was gonna refund and quit, but the mission pot keeps growing, messing with my head. Should I just flick his forehead once and call it schooled? A single flick wouldn't hurt that bad, but it still counts as schooling.
Yeah, one flick won't hurt much... should be fine, right?
"I'm the top idol Song Hayun! If I took the money, I gotta put in the work!"
I picked up my phone and walked toward the guy in front of me. Of course, to avoid portrait rights issues, I was streaming only my face, so the broadcast showed just me. One solid flick to the forehead—that's it.
"Hm? Who's this? That maso~ who loved getting hit earlier? Here for revenge?"
"Keep acting all bratty like that, and sis is gonna punish you?"
I decided to come on strong from the start, glaring at the guy who'd been teasing me since we met. Hearing me, he looked scared—head down, body trembling. Well, yeah, a woman my size suddenly showing up and threatening punishment would freak anyone out. Could I just say it was a prank with a hidden cam and call it done?
"Pfft~ Aren't you just a total idiot? That's why they call you a beta female~ Trash~ Apologize to that barren womb that can't even get pregnant!"
"Hm!?"
What the? This crazy bitch? Is she planning a chair shot mid-game or something? The white-haired woman from earlier was thrusting her chest out, squatting all intimidator-style. Is she messing around? Sure, I teased first, but showing up IRL... This chick's not your average psycho....
"Pfft~ Aren't you just a total idiot? That's why they call you a beta female~ Trash~ Apologize to that barren womb that can't even get pregnant!"
"Hm!?"
I figured even I'd run if I got trash-talked like that, so I laid into her good. In a world where a woman hitting a guy IRL brands her trash and society shuns her, would she actually swing? Obviously no. That's why I can act all cocky. Alright, how's she gonna react? Rage? Swing? Or bolt?
"What did you just say to an adult?!"
"Adult? I'm an adult too~ 23 years old~ Retard."
"Urk..."
Hm? Why's she raising her fist all sudden? No way she's actually gonna hit me, right? I'm fragile—a punch like that would end me!
"W-Wait!"
"Mission success!"
-Flick!
"Ow... Aaaagh!"
"Phew~ Feels so refreshing."
The insane pain throbbing in my head felt like tears would burst out any second. It hurts... like a bump's gonna rise. Something wet gathered in my eyes... She really hit my head.
"Urgh... Sniff."
"W-Wait! I got too emotional too..."
"Ugh... Hic... Waaah!"
I didn't want to cry. Ever since coming to this world, my tears came too easy, which was weird, but now they wouldn't stop—like a faucet dripping nonstop no matter how hard I tried. I can't cry... I tease to hide weakness...
"Waaah...! Hic... Sniff."
Once the floodgates opened, there was no stopping it. Tears poured like a runaway dump truck, unstoppable. It wasn't a normal flick. This malicious one, aimed squarely at punishing me, was swelling a round bump on my head. I fought to hold back, sniffling desperately, and looked up.
Ahead of me... the white-haired, yellow-eyed woman who'd hit me froze, staring at her hand in shock at my reaction.
"Bad person...."
"Ah..."
I'm done for. Viewer sentiment flipped in seconds. I never dreamed one flick would cause this much fallout.
I'm done...! Chat was all cheers during the schooling, but now it's ruined spam. What do I do? Am I really ruined? Schooling a guy was embarrassing enough as a woman, but making him cry? Tomorrow, cyber wreckers will be milking my vids for cash... Am I really finished?

Hey, that voice sounds like Meki, right?
'Meki? Who's that?' Curious, I looked closer at the crying boy. He didn't look like a normie at all. Tiny, with that unique cuteness and petite frame stirring protective instincts. But that bratty smirk and speech? No way he's ordinary. A real streamer?
"Sniff... Hic..."
"Um, hey..."
"Y-Yeah...?"
Even mid-sob, when I called, he looked up with teary eyes. So cute.
"You're cute..."
"What?"
"N-No! I mean..."
I accidentally said my inner thought out loud. He froze mid-cry, wiped his tears, and slowly approached.
Huh...?
He raised his right hand and poked my chest with his finger.
"Not cute... Bad girl who says not cute."
"Pardon...?"
Then he poked poke-poked, and stomped my foot with his tiny one. It didn't hurt at all—just ticklish.
"What's with this phone?!"
"W-Wait!"
I'd been streaming just my face to protect portrait rights, but if he snatched it, his face would be all over.
"No!"
"Wh-What... A stream?"
I tried to lift it away, but he was way faster than I thought—I couldn't stop him. The phone, already streaming, slipped from my hand and started broadcasting him live instead.

"Hm!? Stream...? Wait!"
"Give it back quick!"
Farewell, my stream... I'm dead now.
