Chapter 14. Goroshi
When they learned today's content was Iron Arts, the viewers' reactions were generally lukewarm. But as soon as I mimicked a few words of the game character's French dialogue, the atmosphere changed in an instant.
—La grâce est une vertu essentielle d’une demoiselle, même lors d’une rixe de rue. (Grace is a lady’s fundamental virtue, even if it is a street fight.)
“La grâce est une vertu essentielle d’une demoiselle, même lors d’une rixe de rue. How is it? Is it the same?”
- Kya~ Aristocratic young lady Yujin! Kya~ Aristocratic young lady Yujin! Kya~ Aristocratic young lady Yujin! Kya~ Aristocratic young lady Yujin!
- Even her voice is better lol.
- Real lol.
Honestly speaking, it wasn't a big deal. Nevertheless, everyone laughed and liked it, so the atmosphere of the chat window livened up significantly.
‘…I see.’
Only then did I realize anew. That these people came to see me, not the game.
‘It’s a little touching.’
I felt grateful for some reason. So, running the Iron Arts matchmaking, I spoke the thought that suddenly came to mind right out of my mouth.
“I got a little interested in cooking recently.”
- Kya lol She was a real young lady lololol.
- ? If she’s a real young lady, wouldn't she rather not cook herself?
- No no no in the manga I read, aristocratic young ladies are rather good at cooking.
[‘OO’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Cheering for you even if it’s a three-day resolve (giving up quickly) Yujin-ah lol.
“Three-day resolve? Surely not. I am quite serious about eating, in my own way. This time I even ordered an air fryer, oven, and sous-vide machine. If it’s this much, don't you feel the sincerity a bit?”
The chat window murmured.
- Real? That is certainly full-scale.
- But why cooking talk suddenly?
- What is your weight?
- Surely cook-bang (cooking broadcast)?
- Is something big coming?
“Yes, that’s right. I intend to try challenging cook-bang once too. And….”
I paused for a moment, then smiled and added.
“Since I’m making this and that, I’m thinking of picking a few people and sending them the test works.”
In an instant, donations burst in a rush.
[‘OO’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Something really big came lololol.
【‘ManspreadingWomanOfCrowdedSubwayYujin’ sent 1 KB!】
- Line (Me too).
【‘I Am Invincible 2’ sent 1,000 KB!】
- Me too line.
[‘OO’ has donated 10,000 won!]
- Suddenly trying to extract broth (money), for now line.
……
“N, no! Stop donations! I am not picking with donations!”
To that, I had no choice but to shout urgently.
“I, I know that unqualified people can't receive money and sell things like food! If you donate, you rather can't receive it!”
The chat window overturned with laughter.
- Lololololol.
- No why does this room treat donors more harshly lol.
- Can't help Food Sanitation Act (Really can't be helped).
- A room where you can't eat if you pay money.
Like that, exchanging chatter with viewers, I played Iron Arts. Pulling reaction speed to the extreme with the power of the Hermit card, I could dodge or block all trivial attacks.
- No f*ck;; How does she block all the salty kicks (low kicks);;
- That is real physical shudder?
- This content will really end quickly;;
[‘IronZzi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Even watching the hand-cam with my eyes, looks like hack;;
I said confidently.
“See, I told you it would end quickly!”
Then a viewer threw a question.
【‘YujinYujin’ sent 10 KB!】
- But what is the standard for being suspected of hacking? If you are waiting for someone to post on the internet, isn't it hard to notice?
It was a valid doubt. I took out the answer I thought of in advance.
“The most certain thing is this. When a friend request comes after the game ends, and they argue directly asking if I used hack.”
- Ah lol That is admitted lololol.
- .ﾟ+.(・∀・)ﾟ+.ﾟHigh—Praise.
- Already looking forward to what they’ll argue lol.
Everyone seemed to accept it.
At that time, one donation popped up and captured everyone’s gaze.
[‘IronZzi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Yujin-nim! Right now FlyingKnee-nim is doing viewer participation! How about going in there and fighting against FlyingKnee-nim?
“…FlyingKnee-nim?”
FlyingKnee (Peul-Ni).
The owner of the ID known as the abbreviation of Flying Knee Kick, he was the undisputed number one in the Iron Arts world.
In an instant, the chat started to boil.
- With FlyingKnee? Oh?
- That I kinda want to see.
- Have to see fighting against world number 1.
- └(ﾟ∀ﾟ )┘≡3 Gazua~ Ɛ≡└( ﾟ∀ﾟ)┘
Then even viewers not particularly interested in Iron Arts started to look forward to it. It was thanks to proving with the few plays earlier that my skill was sufficient to be suspected as hack.
After worrying for a moment, I nodded.
“Good. Let’s try challenging once.”
The problem was, since it was a viewer participation event, I didn't have the qualification to enter FlyingKnee-nim’s room, but….
- I have the qualification! I’ll transfer it!
Just in time, a viewer stepped up and solved the problem. It was a thankful thing, but I couldn't help but ask.
“You must be FlyingKnee-nim’s viewer. If it goes according to my plan, I will be suspected as a hack user, would you be okay?”
- Well, the misunderstanding will be resolved someday! It’s not like Yujin-nim is really using hack!
“Then I will receive it gratefully.”
The room name and password created by FlyingKnee-nim arrived via broadcast account message.
Entering the password, connected without hesitation.
Several of FlyingKnee-nim’s viewers had already entered the room. Their number gradually decreased, and finally.
My turn came.
—Whish.
A snowfield covered in pure white snow.
Amidst the blizzard raging, a girl of aristocratic style with long blonde hair fluttering stood there.
Emilie. Nickname Lili.
She raised the corners of her mouth and showed a confident smile.
—C’est donc vous, mon adversaire ? (So it is you, my opponent?)
On the opposite side was a man wearing a steel helmet that a medieval knight might use. But going below the neck, the attire was strangely light. Only wrestler pants that were virtually no different from panties.
Ring Name, Knight.
He just kept silence.
—….
Two people’s gazes clashed on the snowfield.
Soon.
—READY
The sound announcing the start of the fight rang in the head.
—FIGHT!
The two were different starting from movement.
Lili, completely focused on the opponent, fixed her gaze and took only minimal movements.
On the other hand, Knight didn't stay still for a single moment.
Front and back, left and right. Little by little, very minutely changing position and angle, measuring distance. Calculating even one step, one tilt of the body, observing the opponent's reaction.
And soon, Knight reached a conclusion.
‘…Opponent has no concept of distance.’
Lili's movement was excessively honest. Neither maintaining distance nor pulling back. Just reacting to the information the opponent gives.
In other words, beginner.
The moment that judgment ended, Knight moved.
Thwack!
Lightly jab. And immediately to the lower body tuk, poking kick.
Tuk!
Lili, who guarded the jab, reacted immediately to the low kick. Instantly lowering posture and coping accurately.
‘….’
It was strange.
The reaction speed of the opponent who couldn't even measure distance until just now was at a completely different level. In that short gap, a suspicion sprouted in Knight's head.
—Verification is needed.
Knight immediately strengthened the offensive.
Jab, One-Two. Followed by vertical elbow.
Thwack, thud-thud! Crack!
Pouring fast high and mid attacks consecutively, then twisting timing, low kick again tuk.
Tuk!
This time too, Lili reacted accurately.
Conviction formed.
—It’s cheating (illegal program).
A type that automatically reacts to low attacks. It was a familiar pattern.
But Knight is a strong person ranked 1st in the world. He wasn't a player to retreat at just this level of cheating. Rather, there were times he caught such opponents in reverse and publicly shamed (stuffed) them.
He immediately formed a strategy.
Judging from the engagement so far, Lili overreacted only to low attacks. In other words, a controllable opponent.
Having concluded, Knight suddenly stopped the offensive. And slowly, stepped back.
Then this time Lili started to move. But Knight widened the distance exactly as much as she approached.
Just in time, the snowfield was an open space. There was no danger of being cornered.
Perhaps feeling frustrated, Lili initiated the attack first.
Jab. And short kick.
Whoosh! Hook!
As they were light and fast attacks, the reach was short. Knight retreated and let them all flow. Like that, after a few futile attacks continued.
Swing—!
Lili eventually swung her long leg widely.
At that moment.
Knight, even while backing away, received the attack accurately, and immediately stuck in a One-Two.
Thwack, crack!
Lili, whose posture collapsed, couldn't block that attack. Like that, it became Lili who allowed the first strike.
Lili gritted her teeth. Judged she should be a little more cautious. She raised concentration wary of follow-up attacks to come.
But Knight didn't approach.
“…?”
No, rather he moved away.
If Lili approached one step, Knight retreated exactly that much.
As that situation repeated several times, Lili couldn't not know anymore.
The opponent was avoiding the fight.
Dragging time.
On the snowfield, the two people’s battle of wits was deepening quietly like that.
“…What is it? This is dragging time right now, right? But I surely blocked, so why was I hit?”
- Got hit in fighting game and claim guarded = Didn't guard.
- Real lol.
- Why is the guy called number 1 running away and dragging time, gonna rip off your pp!
[‘IronZzi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- It was delay catch (punish)! He aimed exactly at the gap created after using a big technique!
“…Aha? It’s something like that?”
- Certainly FlyingKnee-nim’s judgment is f*cking dope lolol As soon as he judged it’s hack in that short moment, formed strategy and executed immediately shudder.
- Even with that crazy physical, this kind of result comes out? Just how much is the game fcking stagnant (full of veterans) fck.
Knight was waiting for the round end while dragging time.
If no one falls in this fight, the decision inevitably has to be made by comparing each other's effective hit ratio. And looking by that standard, the current flow was clearly disadvantageous to Lili.
Meaning, at this rate, defeat is confirmed.
Lili understood that fact intuitively. So she stepped up more actively, but the opponent was indeed a person of world number 1 skill.
It wasn't easy to even catch the opponent who only retreated. Even if engagement occurred occasionally, the side seeing loss was always Lili.
Like that, the first round ended with Lili's defeat.
Short break time. Lili caught her breath and organized her judgment.
‘Have to push from the start.’
—ROUND 2
Thus, simultaneously with the signal announcing resumption.
—FIGHT!
Lili sprang forward.
“…!”
Distance narrowed in an instant. As if reacting to that, Knight's wariness soared extremely.
The closer the distance becomes, light and fast attacks have meaning. And if competing only with reaction speed, there was no reason for Lili to be pushed back.
Tadat!
Engagement at ultra-short range began. Fists aiming for head and torso. Kicks digging into legs.
Thud-thud-thud-thud!
Effective hits burst quickly, successively, to a degree incomparable to the first round. The side seeing blood this time was Knight.
‘Is the flow crossing over?’
It was the moment such a thought flashed through the brain.
Pabat!
Knight suddenly twisted his body greatly to the side by one step. At the same time, threw an attack loading weight with a big motion.
Whoosh!
At that movement, Lili's light check missed. A very momentary gap was created.
Knight wasn't one to miss that moment.
Direct hit, Bang—!
And following follow-up hits. The damage accumulated instantaneously was more than round 1.
At this rate, lose.
The result looked too obvious.
But Lili.
‘Each technique had an angle that could be dodged.’
Retraced the reason every time she saw a loss. Why she was hit, what movement was the cause.
And she was showing the result of that analysis, now.
“…?”
Knight's eyes narrowed.
Because Lili was forcing a distance fight on him.
It was clumsy.
It wasn't perfect.
But that, that movement was clearly.
Resembling Knight's.
“What is this kid? Hey why is she getting better gradually?”
- Hack user bastard hid skill lol.
- Didn't she pretend to be bad from the start?
“I don't think that’s it. Something, something is a little strange.”
—FINAL ROUND
Before I knew it, it became the last round.
Current score is 2 to 2.
Lili started imitating Knight's movement albeit clumsily, and thanks to that attempt, she stopped being pushed one-sidedly in close combat anymore.
Although she gave up the round of that board, from then on it became distinctly different.
Even though she only equipped minimal basics, the one-sided imbalance felt in combat disappeared.
She even brought the flow and took two rounds in a row.
Knight couldn't help but admit.
The opponent clearly possessed reaction speed difficult to explain common-sensically. Adding to that, the growth speed shown in the fight was supporting the possibility that the power wasn't simple cheating.
‘…Surely is that real talent?’
But a match was a match.
He only accepted the head-on match because the opponent's skill was too interesting, actually there was no need to do so at all.
—FIGHT!
As soon as the last round started, Lili narrowed the distance straight away.
This time Knight didn't retreat either. Clashing from the front.
However, a striking battle didn't start.
Knight was a wrestler.
Naturally, his true specialty was wrestling.
Lili and Knight rolled on the snow-covered floor of the snowfield.
—TIME UP
The time at the top of the game became 0.
—YOU LOSE
And I was defeated.
“…I lose like this? …Having this reflexes?”
Losing in a game even possessing an ability no different from a cheat, for some reason resentful emotion welled up from inside.
But viewers' thoughts seemed a little different.

- Having suffered everything one is bound to suffer if they don't know game system-wise, yet enduring until the end and aiming for a reversal angle, is that something to complain about now?
[‘OO’ has donated 5,000 won!]
- God God God God It was a famous match Yes Yes Yes Yes.
【‘IronExpert’ sent 10 KB!】
- Suffered grabs a few times then figured out how to break > Since can't counter by breaking grabs, crouched to dodge and counter > Got hit a few times by unblockable techniques then started dodging with moving > Reversing gradually then time loss.
[‘OO’ has donated 3,000 won!]
- No, being virtually no different from first time in Iron Arts, rubbed against world number 1 and now you’re dissatisfied????
……
Roughly such content of donations poured out. Thanks to that, the pain of defeat started to fade little by little.
“Is, is that so? Heut…!”
So asking back with a tone slightly tinged with laughter….
- Laughs? Laughed right now???? Cam!!!!! Turn on!!!!!!
- ( ´;ﾟ;∀;ﾟ;)Let’s laugh together us hm?
- Ha, are you seducing me right now?
It returned as all sorts of fawning.
Since I didn't particularly intend to do cam broadcast, I changed the topic moderately.
“…But isn't wearing a helmet in a bare body fight foul play?”
- What nonsense it’s a game.
- Why think it’s bare body fight there is a guy holding a sword too.
- If you buy items can shoot gun too lol.
“Just empathize please.”
【‘I Am Invincible 2’ sent 1,000 KB!】
- I’m going to the museum from now on and knocking down every helmet I see yeah.
“D, don't do that!”
- Lololol.
- Since multi-hundred billion asset holder says that can't pass it as joke lol.
- Yujin-ah big trouble if helmets get terrorized in museum from now on know that it’s all because of you yeah.
It was when I was exchanging tiki-taka with viewers like that.
[‘Goroshi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Yujin-nim look at friend window.
“Mm?”
A mark appeared indicating there was something unchecked in the Iron Arts friend window.
- Ah no sense.
- (^-^;)Tact…
- Ah beating up Yujin was fun.
“Ah, content was in progress right? Is it FlyingKnee-nim’s friend add?”
Who am I? Talented person receiving friend add from Iron Arts world number 1 gamer.
Thinking roughly like that, opening the friend window, friend requests had come from five or six people. All nicknames seen for the first time.
“These people are…?”
[‘Goroshi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- They are FlyingKnee-nim broadcast viewers. Roughly even if you accept anyone content will end right away so now Tarot broadcast Part 2 gogo.
“Ah….”
Like that, right after Part 1 content Getting Suspected of Hacking finished while getting all sorts of insults.
[‘Goroshi’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- I am capturing all humans sexually harassing Yujin-nim on the internet. I will upload to Twe’re so let’s see once what kind of bastards they are with Tarot.
- Thought he was a tactless friend but was Santa bringing a f*cking honey jam event?
- Then the story is different immediately Goroshi (Public shaming) gogogo.
