Chapter 8
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 8: Crew
I started running to the mine.
With music on.
Heart-pounding beat, strong bass.
It's the perfect running song.
"Ah the excitement is rising."
Let's run excitedly.
The mine I arrived at like that had fewer people than yesterday, but still many.
Perhaps because of yesterday's World Destruction Punch, as soon as I arrived, several people approached, but all of them stopped upon seeing the sign I was holding.
So... they stopped and didn't move for quite a long time.
Something feels a bit bad.
Let's just mine.
I went in between the people still standing there.
Have to do what I have to do.
"Heuhahahaha!"
"No how can you not laugh at that."
"Right-desu hahahaha!!"
"I definitely remember seeing that comrade, back then he was the Supreme Leader. But how did he become like that."
"Ms. Ajura, the Supreme Leader became deaf."
"Can't be!!!"
"The Hero-nim became a fool."
"I feel relieved yet sad, sure."
"But it's really too funny-desu."
"I am deaf... Ahaha."
"Don't laugh!! I'll catch it too!!"
"I barely held it in!!"
Just when they were getting tired of mining, a simple repetitive task, and the banter was withering, the laughingstock that appeared drew a reaction much larger than that fun.
They say examinees find even a wall funny; these people were in a state more vulnerable to laughter than such examinees.
Not stopping at Yuria and her friends, reactions popped out from all directions.
ㄴ Correct lololol
ㄴ It is fucking funny first of all
ㄴ He was already likable from day 1
ㄴ It's Hero-ham
Just in time, as there were quite a few mid-sized and big corporation streamers gathered in the mine, the reverberation was even greater.
Like that, Eating Bear's broadcast received attention and floating viewers gathered but...
"The ant is tum-tum [working hard], today too tum-tum."
Most of the floating viewers who had gathered with difficulty perished at the disastrous 7 hours of continuous mining.
Around the time viewers were melting away like that.
"Hello?"
Yuria approached Nogada.
And after staring for a long while, she spat out one word.
"Oh as expected, your face is my type."
At Yuria's sudden face compliment, the viewers were surprised and the people around were surprised too.
"Suddenly flirting-desu???"
"He can't hear anyway, so I thought it doesn't matter."
"Omoshiroi [Interesting]. But he is definitely handsome-desu. Nogada is about Song Kang level-desu."
"Song Kang is a bit..."
"Eeh, Yuria! You started it first so what are we supposed to do if you cut ties-desu!!"
When the two were chatting like that in front of Nogada, Ajura, who came back from selling minerals, joined.
"I came back after selling all the minerals. Something happened?"
"We were going to make a Nogada team right? How about this person for the remaining one member?"
"How do I work with a deaf person. Just Comrade Yui alone is already frustrating enough."
"Just Ajura-san alone is enough incompetence, we need an Ace-desu. He is a thankful person but wouldn't it be difficult-desuka."
"I thought of a method... Ta-da."
Simultaneously with those words, Yui's phone standing in front of Yuria rang.
"Text? Why text right in front of the nose, eh?"
"Uwat!! Genius-desuka?"
"What is it? Show me too!"
"Among the phone chat functions, there was voice recognition. I think we can use this."
"It definitely works."
Ajura from North Korea, Streamer Kayade Siyoko, who answered, asked back innocently.
"But do we have to use a deaf person?"
It was a remark that could be dangerous depending on who said it, but she didn't hide this straightforward and honest point usually.
"As I said earlier, his face is my type, so."
Yuria's reception was very fast so it was buried quickly.
At that answer, Ajura, who calmly checked Nogada's face, nodded and accepted.
"Understood, hire him right away. Originally a team needs to have a visual member. I, if I'm not the messenger, won't object."
"I'll mainly do the messaging."
Having agreed like that, they, called the "Foreign Laborers" in the community, blocked Eating Bear's path.
The moment Yuria held up her phone and tried to open her mouth, Nogada's mouth opened first.
"You were glancing since earlier, as expected it's this. I thought your faces looked like bullies, eventually ripping me off. How much do you need."
"Wut."
"It's not that!"
"Definitely if three people surround one person, one could think it's Ijime [Bullying]-desu. Plus this is a dead end alley."
It was so.
They targeted the moment Nogada was a bit separated from people and stuck to him, and the three of them blocked him to add his phone number.
Of course, the reason they acted like this was primarily because phone number sharing was omnidirectional so there had to be no people around, and because Nogada couldn't hear sound, but.
"My entire fortune is only 450,000 won. Let me off."
As a result, it became a form of surrounding him in a shady place.
Meaning it's a perfect position for extortion.
"I said no!!! So this is, because if you keep going forward phone number sharing doesn't work... We only tried to make you stop, so please accept the phone number sharing quickly...!"
"Since it became like this can't we just rip off money?"
"There are police here too..."
Yuria said that and pressed phone number sharing on her phone.
"You want me to wire transfer?"
He was still holding something in both hands.
It meant he didn't check his phone.
"I said no! Why aren't you checking your phone!"
"I, I don't want to tackle like this but. That person is deaf. He can't hear."
"Big pinch surrounded by 3 people. No time to check phone-desu."
Ah so that's why they were holding phones since earlier.
I accepted the phone number sharing and opened the text window.
"Speak."
"If you speak how do I hear. I'm deaf."
"Definitely were bullies. Blocking my path simultaneously with three people..."
"No why are you angry."
"Anyway why did you block the path. Mining loss happening."
Among the RPs constituting Nogada, an important one is the Cool Guy, meaning Manly Man part.
Casual speech is basic and he speaks recklessly.
Risk?
To worry about that, I'm a small scale hobby broadcast so not really?
"If it's construction site, is it Nogada?"
I threw the mineral I was holding and answered.
"Let's go right away."
If there was such a place, should have said so sooner.
"Immediate dispatch, pickaxe loading complete."
"Honestly I found mining boring too."
"You looked like it just seeing you. First of all too slow. You stood still in between too."
"At Nogada, move fast. Have to do Yarikiri."
"Means if you finish fast you go fast. Used it in my hometown."
I said looking at the blue hair peeking into vision.
"Long Live Korean Independence."
In the scene where red hair stopped and blue hair was jumping up and down, I continued speaking.
"We hereby declare that Korea is an independent state and that Koreans are a self-governing people....."
He actually uses this.
Feeling proud, I continued reading.
