051. Calm Chat Stream on the Terrace
051. Calm Chat Stream on the Terrace
Quite a long time had passed since the day I dropped by the Wandering Restaurant.
Two months.
No, it was almost three months now.
And I was still steadily keeping up with my livestreaming.
Because internet broadcasting was practically a part of my life by now.
So.
I streamed at least three times a week, minimum.
Although, this week I hadn't been able to turn it on even once due to unavoidable circumstances.
‘I wanted to do a hiking stream today.’
The second-floor main bedroom.
I raised my body from the bed and turned my head toward the window.
The outside scenery was visible, rain pattering down.
‘...It hadn't stopped after all.’
That filthy liquid falling from the sky was the root cause of my time off.
Since I was a streamer who mainly did outdoor broadcasts.
‘Should I just take today off too...?’
Yawning, I left the bedroom and walked to the sub-bedroom.
A faint light was leaking from the sub-bedroom.
‘Streaming since morning?’
I checked inside the sub-bedroom through the gap in the door.
［The gang isn't coming! The jungler is an idiot! So bad!］
In front of the computer.
Gomdori, whose mouth had grown rough, was gaming and getting angry.
It was obvious at a glance that she was broadcasting.
Whenever I took a day off, Gomdori always ran game streams, you see.
‘She handles the mouse and keyboard pretty well now.’
Compared to the beginning, it was a massive improvement.
Seeing Gomdori move the mouse skillfully and tap the keyboard brought a contented smile to my face.
Ah. And of course, she didn't turn on the cam.
Because Gomdori wanted to hide that they were a yokai.
But she did have the mic on.
Her voice was a little different from a human's, but she'd glossed it over by saying she was using a voice changer program.
‘Even if her voice was unique... once you listen for a while it kinda sounds like an elementary schooler's voice.’
Plum Blossom had probably already noticed.
But she seemed to be deliberately pretending not to know.
［If I get demoted it's the jungler's fault! Total trash! So bad!］
I slowly approached behind Gomdori.
Making just enough noise so I wouldn't startle her.
Next to the game screen, the chat window was displayed nice and big.
【Dick Lover】─Quit blaming others.
【Hottie Licker】─Gyejipsa is sho cute. Lick.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gyejipsa you fucking bitch! Stop playing games and go get Gye Se-hun!
【Yoho】─It's Gyejipsa's stream again today.
【Min-ji】─I rushed in all flustered... and it's Gyejipsa's game stream again...
【Plum Tree】─You wanna die? If you're gonna stream, turn it on under your own ID, not Se-hun's. I get baited every time. -_-
【Qkrnfl892】─What the? Gyejipsa's already Master tier. lololol
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Fr she's a talent monster.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Feels like we were duoing just the other day, it's maddeningu!
【BigGirl】─Game streams are pretty fun too.
【Men Are Just Dildos】─No but like when does Gye Se-hun actually come on? I struggled to get in here and some elementary kid is playing games?
［Huh? Not an elementary kid!］
【Men Are Just Dildos】─Your voice is exactly an elementary kid's. You Gye Se-hun's nephew? Please just get lost and bring Gye Se-hun. Quit being annoying.
［Hey...! Bubblegum manager! Ban the dildo!］
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya!!!
『You have banned 'Men Are Just Dildos'.』
Completely absorbed in their game, Gomdori hadn't noticed me approaching.
I silently checked the viewer list from behind Gomdori.
‘Looks like Maniac couldn't make it in today.’
Among the existing viewers.
Maniac was the only one without a code now.
Gomdori had secretly slipped an entry code to Bubblegum Collector.
Seemed they'd gotten pretty close, gaming together all the time.
【Reformed Guburi】─No but for real did Gye Bastard-hun fucking die or something? It's been a whole damn week already!
【Yoho】─If you don't stream today either, I'm coming to find you.
【Qkrnfl892】─Don't come find him, you crazy bitch.
［Gye Bastard-hun is sleeping! Don't come! It's my stream time now!］
"Ahem!"
I cleared my throat to announce my presence.
Then Gomdori flinched in surprise and spun around.
［Oh? You're awake? G-good morning...!］
【Reformed Guburi】─Ohhhh! Fuck yes sex!!!
【Qkrnfl892】─Oh. That's Se-hun's voice!
【Plum Tree】─Phew. My ears are finally being purified.
【Yoho】─I've been waiting. T_T
【Hottie Licker】─Lick! Lick! Slurrrp!
【Min-ji】─Se-hun hellooo!!
I ignored the chat window for now.
I pressed down hard on Gomdori's head and spoke.
"Gyejipsa. I told you not to call me Gye Bastard-hun."
［Th-that Reformed Guburi threatened me into calling you that!］
【Reformed Guburi】─When did I, you fucking bitch!
【Dick Lover】─Blaming others is that bastard's passive skill.
【Hottie Licker】─lolol Gyejipsa is adorable. Lick.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Reformed Guburi really did make her do it!
【Reformed Guburi】─Quit your bullshit seriously.
"Anyway, I'll be downstairs on the first floor, so connect the stream to my camera when your game's done."
［Got it!］
【Reformed Guburi】─Sex? You're streaming today? Hell yeah sex!
【Yoho】─T_T I'm so happy.
【Hottie Licker】─Licccck!!!
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Isn't it raining there right now? Not doing an outdoor stream, streaming from home?
I took my hand off Gomdori's head.
Then I shifted my gaze to the chat window and checked the Defense Force's question.
"Yeah. Just gonna sit out on the terrace and do a simple talk stream or something. I rested from streaming way too long, so I'm bored."
【Yoho】─Hehe nice!
【Min-ji】─Is it phone date today too? heh
【Plum Tree】─Go make yourself a cup of coffee too.
【Dick Lover】─A talk stream with the sound of rain is nice.
【Reformed Guburi】─lol pussy-dick.
After that, I grabbed the camera and headed down to the first floor.
***
After filling a coffee cup with cola.
I went to the terrace on the side of the first floor that had a roof.
‘Was this my first time out here?’
Dust was piled thick on the table and chair.
So much that it was blatantly obvious they'd been neglected for a long time.
‘Well, I never really had a reason to come out here...’
I wiped the dust off the chair and table with the rag I'd brought.
Then I sat on the chair and fixed the camera onto the table.
Not long after, the stream connected.
【Reformed Guburi】─Hihi! Fuck it's Gye Bastard-hun's face, first time in a week!
【Hottie Licker】─Finally I can lick a live broadcast face lol I've only been licking my captured photos all this time. T_T
【Qkrnfl892】─Filthy bastard.
【BigGirl】─That person isn't really licking their phone screen... right?
【Dick Lover】─She's a bitch who totally would.
"Long time no see."
I checked the chat window and waved toward the camera.
【Yoho】─Hehe hello! Lick!
【Hottie Licker】─?
【Min-ji】─I really missed you. T_T
【Reformed Guburi】─Min-ji bastard's chat messages really do sound like a total lesbo. Fucking bitch.
【Min-ji】─T_T
【Drift AI】─I am speaking. You have rested from streaming for too long, I reprimand.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─It was a bit long this time.
【Qkrnfl892】─He's taken a week off before too.
"Still, I put up a notice, didn't I."
【Dick Lover】─You put up a notice?
【Plum Tree】─Yeah he did put one up.
【Reformed Guburi】─You fucker! You just put <It's raining lol> on the notice and then went afk. -_-
【Qkrnfl892】─lolol fr at first I didn't even realize that was a break notice.
【Drift AI】─I am speaking. You have been neglecting your streams lately, I state.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Right. You haven't lost interest in streaming, have you?
【Yoho】─Gasp. No way.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya.
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya.
I shook my head lightly.
Ever since I started living with Gomdori, the frequency of feeling lonely had noticeably decreased, but that didn't mean I had any intention of quitting streaming.
I hadn't lost interest in the first place either.
The reason my streams had been sparse lately was genuinely just because of the rain.
"Don't worry. I have no plans to quit streaming for the time being."
【Qkrnfl892】─For the time being?
【Dick Lover】─What's that? That loaded statement?
【Reformed Guburi】─?? So you're saying you'll quit later? You fucking sex bastard?
"Obviously I'll stop someday. I can't stream until I'm old and dying."
I gave them a realistic answer.
Unlike other streamers.
I'll be with my viewers until I'm old and dead! I'll never even marry!
I had no desire to spout that kind of sleazy bullshit.
"Still, rest assured, I have absolutely no intention of quitting streaming until I get married."
I spoke honestly once more.
Then the chat started exploding.
【Reformed Guburi】─?
【Qkrnfl892】─??
【Dick Lover】─Huh? Married?
【Hottie Licker】─Lick?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─To me?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya?
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!
【Drift AI】─I am? I am,?? I am.??? ERROR
【Plum Tree】─Which bitch is it, fuck.
【Min-ji】─This is way too sudden a statement...
【Yoho】─Gasp. I'm not mentally prepared yet... but if the stream master wishes it, I'll start preparing right now.
【Reformed Guburi】─Yoho shut your mouth for fuck's sake. Does this look like a joking atmosphere?
【BigGirl】─Marriage... are you going to...?
"Why the hell are you guys freaking out? Of course I'm getting married. What, you'd rather I lived as a bachelor my whole life?"
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah.
【Hottie Licker】─Just live as a bachelor.
【Yoho】─I'm calling my mother to get permission right now. One moment.
【Plum Tree】─No, I said which bitch it is. -_-
【Min-ji】─You don't mean you have a girlfriend you're seeing right now...?
A sigh escaped me.
I could not say anything to these bastards.
I made an effort to calm my anger and explained composedly.
"How many times do I have to say it? The only woman I know is Hyeon-ji, alright? And she's just a friend I occasionally exchange texts with."
【Plum Tree】─Then who are you marrying.
"Plum Blossom, this bastard, did a yokai eat her fucking brain lately or what... I didn't say I'm marrying someone specific, I said I might get married someday. Why can't you fucking process words properly?"
【Plum Tree】─Aha.
【Reformed Guburi】─Aha my ass lol
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Why do these bastards make such a huge fuss for real?
【Gyejipsa】─Such a fuss!
Fortunately, the chat window was calmer than just before.
However, the topic of marriage kept popping up without end.
【Min-ji】─But if you don't know any women, how are you going to get married? heh
【Hottie Licker】─Just don't. Lick.
【Reformed Guburi】─Yeah staying single is the way these days.
"I'll get to know a woman someday."
【Dick Lover】─No you won't. I'll stop it.
"Don't stop it, you crazy bitch... And I have no plans to get married until I fix my habit of casually swearing. So quit the marriage talk already, you fucking bitches."
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? Doesn't that ultimately mean you're never getting married?
【Plum Tree】─Phew.
【Hottie Licker】─Oh. So he's a bachelor-for-life. Lick.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─lolol Se-hun. No need to look far~ The chat's overflowing with women who understand your swearing, you know. lol
"Haah..."
It seemed I had brought up a pointless topic for nothing.
I hadn't known the viewers were so sensitive about the subject of marriage.
In the end, partly to shift the mood of the chat, I decided to lighten the viewers' mood by tossing out a light joke.
"Fine. I'll just find a marriage partner right here, I guess."
This statement was also a mistake.
