027. Drinking Stream in a Miniature Garden
027. Drinking Stream in a Miniature Garden
'Reverse-Rape Maniac' has exited the room.
She was probably a minor.
【Reformed Guburi】─LOL kicked for being a minor! How dare you try to butt in where the grown-ups are playing!
【Yoho】─Gasp. Looks like they were a student.
【Hottie Licker】─Maybe they just didn't verify their age.
【Min-ji】─I didn't do the separate adult verification either.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─If you're an adult, it verifies automatically when you do your phone ID check.
"Kind of a shame."
【Qkrnfl892】─Your face says you don't find it a shame at all.
【Dick Lover】─LOL
Maniac's empty spot was filled immediately.
As if they'd been waiting in line, a new viewer entered faster than light.
『'Bubblegum Collector' has entered.』
【Reformed Guburi】─Condom Collector, welcome.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya!
【Dick Lover】─Whoa. What's with that entry speed?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Looks like they were on standby.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Didn't even go to the bathroom, just kept spam-clicking lol. As they say, hard work always pays off!
"Huh? You actually waited on standby to get in? Do you even know what kind of room mine is?"
【Bubblegum Collector】─All your info got uploaded to the Streamer Gallery today lol. Probably tons of bitches still on standby right now.
It seemed someone had posted my stream address on a community board.
Well, it wasn't something worth worrying about.
I'd already capped the viewer count at ten, after all.
There was no chance of an explosive surge in new viewers.
‘It was a good thing I had taken precautions.’
And honestly, that might even have been a good thing.
The people from the Streamer Gallery community and those Male Supremacy Group bastards who already knew my stream would be competing to get in.
‘The Supremacy Group guys hadn't come around that much before, but... starting then, their influx would drop even more. They weren't that assertive, so instead of competing, they'd just get pushed out.’
I hoped they'd go completely extinct.
While I was thinking that, I'd arrived at the village where I lived.
***
I drove down a quiet country road and arrived at my house's garage.
I detached the camera from its mount and spoke.
"Hey, Guburi. Been wondering for a while, how many phones do you have?"
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? One.
"You can make dozens of accounts with just one?"
【Reformed Guburi】─There are ways lol
【Yoho】─You can submit account creation requests on illegal sites.
【Reformed Guburi】─You fucking bitch! Don't spill trade secrets!
So she hadn't registered under her own name.
A minor curiosity was satisfied.
【Dick Lover】─But aren't you stopping by the mart?
【Min-ji】─Yeah. Didn't you say you were going to drink?
"Got everything at home, don't worry."
After parking neatly in reverse.
I went through the garage side door into the yard.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Got a garage and a yard, damn.
【Qkrnfl892】─Se-hun is fucking loaded.
【BigGirl】─The house is super spacious, too.
【Reformed Guburi】─LOL, awesome, right?
【Dick Lover】─I was shocked on the first day of the hike when he showed the yard for a sec before heading out. lol
I'd never deliberately shown the viewers the yard.
Except for the earliest viewers, that was.
It had just been naturally caught on camera as I moved through the garage.
【Yoho】─I'm a day-one member, so he gave me a slow tour. heh.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Didn't ask.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya.
"...No, seriously, why does that fucker keep going wakyapya? Is that some kind of catchphrase?"
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya!
Was she a crazy bitch?
That one also seemed to be missing a few screws.
She was another dud.
I'd failed the normal-person lottery again.
【Reformed Guburi】─Wakyapya!
【Qkrnfl892】─Wakyapya!
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Wakyapya!
"You goddamn bitches, stop. Is it a plague? You're all infected, making a scene."
【Reformed Guburi】─Wakyapya!!!
I imposed a chat restriction for five minutes.
All ten of them, under collective punishment.
I didn't know what meaning the word wakyapya held.
Didn't know, but it just annoyed me.
After that.
I crossed the yard and entered the house.
Then I gathered the alcohol, food, and equipment I'd need for the stream.
I double-checked I hadn't missed anything, then walked out through the first-floor glass door into the opposite yard and said,
"I'm planning to drink at the pavilion in the garden."
...
The chat window was dead.
I'd bothered to explain, in case they were wondering why I went outside, and got zero reaction.
"Guys, are you ignoring me? Wanna die?"
I realized after cussing them out.
That I'd just put a chat restriction on everyone.
That five minutes hadn't passed yet.
Embarrassed, I scratched my head.
"...Hm."
I tried to act like nothing had happened.
Just as I was casually about to step into the garden.
The viewers, now unrestricted, flooded the chat all at once.
【Reformed Guburi】─You son of a bitch! You're the one who chat-muted us and now you're throwing a fit asking why no one's answering.
【Qkrnfl892】─For real, what's wrong with this guy?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Got dementia?
【Hottie Licker】─Gonna lick you.
【Yoho】─Why was I...
【Min-ji】─Why was I, too...
【BigGirl】─I was just lurking and got muted.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya lol
I ignored them and moved into the garden.
With stuff like this, ignoring it was the best policy.
Mocking chats kept coming up for a while, but as I stayed consistently silent, the atmosphere in the chat window simmered down.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─He's gritting his teeth and ignoring it lol
【Dick Lover】─Cute lol
【BigGirl】─Wow, but the garden is really pretty.
"Right? The contractors put a lot of care into it."
【Reformed Guburi】─Fucking hell, he answers stuff like that.
【Yoho】─The more I see it, the better made it really is.
【Min-ji】─It's pretty. Is that a plum tree over there?
"Ah. It's not a real plum tree. This is a model garden, you see. The grass is artificial turf, and all the trees are fake."
【Reformed Guburi】─Fuck you, don't ignore me!
【Qkrnfl892】─For real, that's elaborate.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─It's identical to a real tree, though?
【Hottie Licker】─Plum tree lol. There's a user named Plum Tree here too. Why's she so quiet? Is she lurking?
"If you look close, it's a little obvious. And Plum Tree said earlier she had work. Guess she left the stream on."
【Reformed Guburi】─Not even watching but hogging a spot. Boot her, go go.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! There's a whole variety of tree types!
"The people who built it made a diverse selection. But man, this fucker is still going wakyapya."
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya...
"Now that I've seen it a while, it's kind of cute, so I'll let it slide."
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya!
【Reformed Guburi】─Answer me too please
【Reformed Guburi】─T_T
【Reformed Guburi】─Wakyapya!
『'Reformed Guburi''s chat has been restricted. Time remaining 00:03:00』
I crossed the cloud bridge over the pond and reached the roofed pavilion.
Today's drinking stream was going to be held here.
The day was slowly darkening, but that was fine.
There were streetlamps installed at regular intervals.
They'd light up on their own once darkness fell.
The pavilion also had specially installed neon lights.
【Yoho】─Has a real vibe.
【BigGirl】─Neon sign, damn.
【Min-ji】─Feels like a modern-day Peach Blossom Paradise.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─No no, it's cyberpunk paradise.
【Qkrnfl892】─No no, it's a tavern of wine and women.
【Dick Lover】─Stop overdoing it.
I started setting up for the stream.
I set up a simple folding table on the pavilion.
I fixed the broadcast camera onto a tripod.
The Galaxy Tab went onto another tripod.
I'd brought it for monitoring the chat.
The text on a smartphone was too small; it'd be annoying to read once I got tipsy.
‘Good thing the Wi-Fi signal was strong here.’
The stream didn't end even when I logged in simultaneously on the Galaxy Tab.
Starting the stream: smartphone.
Broadcasting: the linked camera.
Checking chat: Galaxy Tab.
It was a really convenient platform.
‘I could even manage the stream from the Galaxy Tab.’
It seemed like it'd be fine to leave a stream running on the computer and do an outdoor one.
Though there wasn't really any need to.
Anyway, all the setup was finished with that.
I placed the snacks and makgeolli on the table and scanned the chat.
【Dick Lover】─But if you were going to do a drinking stream, why go hiking? Kind of a waste of the exercise.
"Huh? I went hiking, so that's why I'm doing a drinking stream."
【Dick Lover】─?
【Hottie Licker】─After a hike, you have to drink makgeolli. It's the rule.
【Dick Lover】─Why?
【Yoho】─It's an unwritten rule.
【Qkrnfl892】─Makgeolli after a hike is the nectar of the gods.
【Reformed Guburi】─What is Dick, some kind of foreigner? Wanna die, you motherfucker?
"Guburi. Stop picking fights. Why are you suddenly flooring it, you crazy bitch."
【Reformed Guburi】─So now you finally look this way...
"...Idiot."
At this point, I wondered if it was a disease.
Had she grown up starved for attention?
She was a severe, terminal attention whore.
"Don't act like such an attention whore and get your own drink set up. You said earlier you were going to buy some."
【Reformed Guburi】─You were remembering my chats, huh hehe. I'm all set up and waiting with a fluttering heart! I've always wanted to drink with a guy and trade dirty jokes, so this is sweet as hell lol
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Same here, honestly. That's every woman's dream and romance! So excited!
【Reformed Guburi】─Don't lump me in the same category, 'dream and romance' my ass.
【Bubblegum Collector】─;;;
I poured the makgeolli into a bowl.
Then I raised a toast to the camera and emptied the first serving without a drop left.
And with that, the drinking stream began.
***
Around the time I'd finished one bottle of makgeolli.
【Yoho】─Getting drunk on unfiltered rice wine.
【Dick Lover】─I'm drinking wine.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun, you can really put it away. But are you just going to keep drinking?
"I'm interacting, too."
【Reformed Guburi】─Too cliché. To liven things up, let's go with first-love stories.
Guburi had made a fun suggestion.
I was getting bored myself around then, too.
Even though I was interacting with the viewers, in the end, I was just talking to myself.
"First-love stories? Hm... Should we?"
【Reformed Guburi】─?? For real? I just threw that out there, and you're going along with it.
【Dick Lover】─Oh lol
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Damn?
When I readily agreed, the viewers acted surprised.
They must have figured I'd refuse for sure.
Of course, I never said I'd be telling my first-love story.
【Yoho】─Gasp. The host's first love...
【Bubblegum Collector】─Sim-gi-che virgin eliminated! Wakyapya!
【Qkrnfl892】─Wouldn't he not be a virgin in the first place?
"Stop with the bullshit. Guburi, you suggested the first-love stories, so take responsibility and spill yours."
【Reformed Guburi】─?
"What's with the question mark. I said tell your first-love story, you goddamn bitch. Hurry up and send your phone number to the manager via whisper. I'll call you."
【Reformed Guburi】─???
"I'll give you one minute. Send your number before I ban you."
For a while, no chats came from Guburi.
Had she run away?
That's what I was thinking.
【Whisper Reformed Guburi】─Are you for real...?
"Ten seconds left."
【Whisper Reformed Guburi】─010 6969 7474
Guburi had sent her number.
The threat had worked.
【Hottie Licker】─LOL, Guburi getting reverse-raped. Lick.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Isn't this a reverse-karma situation?
【Yoho】─That's why you shouldn't have been acting up. Heh.
【Min-ji】─Jealous of a phone date.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya!
【BigGirl】─A phone date, damn.
【Qkrnfl892】─Oh, this'll be fun lol. Serves her right for acting out!
【Dick Lover】─LOL, I was curious about her voice anyway, so this is great.
"Guburi, I'm calling?"
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah yeah...
I made a video call to Guburi.
