"Are you asking about our guild's advertising rates right now?"
"No, that's not it."
I hurriedly replied.
"I've just never thought that Stargram live streams could make that much money."
In fact, considering the offers that had come to Justice Guild, it was even more true.
While it was certainly big money for something as simple as taking a photo, it wasn't to the point where a larger guild like Magma Guild would call it 'profitable.'
"Haha, I was kidding. Of course I can tell you the ad rates."
Yang Hwa-yeon patted my shoulder with a laugh and leaned in to whisper Magma Guild's advertising fees into my ear.
"Whoa."
This really makes money?
"More than you expected, right? But in return, you have to give that kind of exposure."
Yang Hwa-yeon pointed to Shin Dan-bi pulling a bottle of ion drink from a sub-space.
"This is the drink our guild is currently advertising. Has anyone tried it?"
Even though she was blatantly mentioning the ad, there was no sense of rejection.
Yang Hwa-yeon seemed to think the same, giving Shin Dan-bi a thumbs-up.
In the meantime, I turned on my phone and checked the ongoing broadcast.
The viewer count was already heading toward 50,000.
It might not seem like a huge number at first glance, but it was the equivalent of filling a World Cup stadium to capacity and running an ad.
"Hmm."
Shin Dan-bi looked like she had no intention of ending the stream anytime soon, full of excitement.
The three young teens from Justice Guild standing next to her had their cheeks flushed, experiencing this for the first time.
'It's a shame to miss this opportunity.'
We didn't have any products to advertise right now.
'But that doesn't mean there's nothing to promote.'
With that thought, I walked over to the four who were streaming.
"Oh, unnie's here."
"Come say hi too, unnie!"
"Unnie, this is so cool!"
The twins and Im Cheong-su wagged their tails excitedly upon seeing me.
"Should I? Is that okay?"
"Of course!"
Shin Dan-bi quickly scooted over to make room for me and replied.
I sat down next to her without hesitation.
So this is what a live stream screen looks like.
"Hello, I'm Nayeo-ju from Justice Guild."
I had no idea why, but instead of being glad to see me, everyone was wailing.
It should be fine, right?
I awkwardly waved hello and asked Shin Dan-bi.
"Shouldn't we do a tour of our training grounds or something?"
"Yeah, that would be great. But are you sure it's okay?"
"Sure. With so many people watching, showing off our streaming spot is no big deal."
"Whoa! Everyone! She gave permission! Justice Guild's simulation training ground is the best!"
As expected, people reacted to the words 'simulation training ground.'
Showing the inside of the training ground actually came with several risks.
But now was the time to show it.
To prove that Justice Guild was no longer a small, crumbling operation, but a guild properly taking root.
If there were no ad products to promote, promote the guild itself.
"Shall I show you what we were training on earlier?"
With a few taps, the shadow crows we'd been virtually fighting moments ago appeared vividly realistic.
It was the simulation training ground that Seong Yo-na had recently upgraded on a massive scale, making it even more realistic.
So apart from the construction fee we'd paid 'Gu A-ri,' it was practically free.
Those who didn't know that were freaking out over how much money Justice Guild must have made.
Of course, there were villains among them too.
Shin Dan-bi, who somehow spotted those comments, defended us in her place.
"No way! Ah, I can't show everything since it's not our guild! But Justice Guild's facilities are insane?"
"Yeah. Our training ground is really great!"
"Nayeo-ju unnie, can we reveal everything later too?"
"Sure, let's do a full reveal on our own live stream sometime."
I'd tossed out some bait like that.
So that even if Justice Guild went live alone, crowds would flock.
And I shouted toward the open door of the simulation training ground.
"Na Baek-ho, come here."
At my call, Na Baek-ho, who had been receiving affection from Yang Hwa-yeon, came running over.
"Up you go. This is my familiar, Na Baek-ho. Say hi, Baek-ho."
"Kyaaang."
"Na Baek-ho isn't a cat, he's a white tiger familiar. He looks like a big kitten because he's still young."
"Probably more than you think."
Everyone's just keeping them hidden for now.
Once they confirm what abilities their familiars have, they'll start revealing them left and right.
In that sense, I began my final promotion.
"Na Baek-ho's joining us for the joint raid dungeon with Magma Guild this time. Right, Na Baek-ho?"
"Cong!"
"Ah, and the other familiars in Justice Guild too, of course."
"Familiars are born in dungeons, so it's like them going back home for Chuseok if you think of them as people."
Perfect.
The people watching this live weren't the only promo targets.
Now, when they spread what they saw today on communities, future viewership would skyrocket.
"The others are sleeping right now, so no. Watch for them on our stream later."
It wasn't even our live, so spilling everything here would be a waste.
"I have to go for the next training, so I'll get up now. Say bye, Na Baek-ho."
I lifted one of Baek-ho's right front paws and waved it.
Can you see it, folks?
Na Baek-ho's pink jelly bean paws!
The all-day training session with Magma Guild finally ended.
I dragged my tired body back to my room.
Na Baek-ho, who had played without a proper nap after meeting new people, wobbled over to the magic cushion, exhausted.
His retreating figure looked just like a puppy collapsing into sleep after greeting guests all day during Chuseok.
The sun had set long ago, leaving the room dim, but I didn't turn on the light.
Because of one guy who liked the dark.
"Gung-gi."
At my call, the black tail of Gung-gi sitting by the window flicked lightly.
His way of saying he heard me.
Lately, Gung-gi had been acting a bit strange.
Before, he'd occasionally stroll around the guild building or hang out with the other familiars in the underground training ground.
But recently, he hardly left my room.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
He was just sitting by this window, staring out quietly.
As if waiting for something.
I stroked his black, round head once and asked.
"Do you want to come to the dungeon with us this time too?"
