Chapter Title: Please Stop Making Those Moaning Sounds!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Saintess Nice? Um... what should I say.]
[She doesn't seem like a bad person... or does she? Is she bad...? Anyway, she was a really unique person.]
[From a broadcasting perspective, she's honestly not bad at all. Great voice, speaks well, great back-and-forth chemistry. She felt more like a professional broadcaster than a regular person.]
[But... sometimes she'd casually drop risky comments, and it felt like she was genuinely trying to rile up the streamer?]
[It gave the feeling of slightly losing control of the broadcast. Like you were being led around by her, so it felt a bit dangerous.]
After hearing fellow streamer Eder's evaluation of Saintess Nice, Suha Yam felt a pang of regret that she'd turned down his offer to introduce her as a teacher.
Eder, who always firmly held the reins of his broadcasts and led them, had struggled while being dragged along by the free-spirited Saintess Nice—but Suha thought she herself would be different.
Suha's viewers were always packed with people just looking to tease her, and lately, even that insane troll viewer Pure Advisor had latched on to torment her.
A living Buddha who had endured five years of broadcasts, weathering attacks from the notoriously toxic late-night viewers.
If nothing else, Suha prided herself on having mental fortitude that no one could match.
["Miss Suha."]
And it didn't take long at all to realize that this was a massive delusion.
"Y-Yes! Y-Yes!"
— Viewer She's about to cry for real now? — Viewer lmao — Viewer Suha, cry for us? lololol Suha, cry for us? lololol Suha, cry for us? lolololol ["Why did you use Heavenly Punishment just now during that pattern?"]
"W-Well, to fill up the divinity before the gimmick..."
["Heavenly Punishment is a channeling skill—you have to cast it after the pattern, right?"]
"...Yeees."
— Viewer Damn, getting lectured so softly in that voice is gonna drive me insane — Viewer Hng... Hng... Hng... — Viewer Her voice is insanely good tho — Viewer Waaah sis teach me too... ["Can you explain what pattern that just was?"]
"Well... sniff..."
— Viewer She's crying lmao — Viewer Crying? Crying? Crying? Crying? — Viewer Sis make me cry too pls sis make me cry too pls Pure Advisor was Saintess Nice.
Suha, who had weathered all sorts of chaos in the wild late-night streaming scene, never could have imagined those two were the same person.
The start wasn't bad at all, surprisingly.
[In situations like just now, don't hold back on spe—use it right away. If the support can't manage their health, they can't care for the team.]
[Ah, yes!]
The gentle, ear-pleasing voice of Saintess Nice—transmitted not through TTS donation advice, but directly—turned nagging into genuine counsel.
[I really feel like my skills are improving when I follow Saintess Nice's advice!]
— Viewer Cool lol — Viewer Thanks Suha thanks Suha thanks Suha Thanks to that, the broadcast atmosphere and Suha's mood improved noticeably for the first time in ages.
[Hmm...]
Of course, that was only temporary.
[What was the intention behind putting up that buff just now? There were only 5 lines left in the gimmick...]
[Huh? Oh, that was...]
[You don't raise buffs the moment the gauge fills—you time them based on the raid situation, right?]
[Yes...]
— Viewer Oof — Viewer lmaoooooo — Viewer What intent lolololol As Saintess Nice's full-on advice kicked in, Suha felt like every play she'd made so far was being invalidated.
Not just "that part was wrong," but a judgment that her entire approach was flawed from the start.
[Oh, that was pretty good.]
[R-Really? Just now?]
[Yeah, not bad at all.]
Still, thanks to the occasional praise from Saintess Nice, Suha barely managed to hold onto her sanity.
— Viewer She's getting tamed like a dog lololol — Viewer She loves it too much???? — Viewer Sis praise me too sis praise me too sis praise me too By now, she realized she was being trained like a puppy at boot camp, but it was far too late.
The chat was loving it too much to quit, and the sweet sensation of growth was more thrilling than anything.
"Sh-Should we take a quick break...?"
["Sure."]
In the end, Suha had no choice but to accept Saintess Nice as her teacher, even if it meant enduring this mind-shredding torture.
Streamers had to prioritize their viewers' entertainment over their own mental health, after all.
"Um... Saintess Nice."
During the brief break after an hour of mental assault, Suha decided to ask the questions she'd been dying to about Saintess Nice.
Truth be told, she should have asked at their first meeting, but she'd missed her chance in the shock of the unexpected reveal.
"Um... how long have you been playing Ias, Saintess Nice?"
— Viewer Oh I've been curious about that — Viewer She's gotta be an old-timer — Viewer Open launch player right? Once they built some rapport, maybe Saintess Nice would ease up on the advice intensity?
Harboring that sliver of hope, Suha began firing off big and small questions at Saintess Nice.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I'd always thought being a teacher would be boring and dull.
But actually doing it? Not so much.
As I mentioned before, I'm a pretty impulsive personality.
Staring only at one tree without seeing the whole forest, obsessing over the present without a thought for the distant future.
An extreme hedonist chasing nothing but the immediate pleasure of the moment—that's Lee Min-ji in a nutshell.
Telling Suha that Pure Advisor was Saintess Nice had been for that very reason.
Watching her reaction to that reveal seemed like it'd be hilarious.
*Slurp...*
"Mmm..."
In reality, it had been pretty fun, so not a bad choice.
Now, causing chaos in her stream as Pure Advisor was off-limits.
Well... now I could give advice legally in Suha's stream, for free.
Yeah. Not bad at all.
*Slurp...*
["Um... how long have you been playing Ias, Saintess Nice?"]
Hmm... that's a pretty out-of-left-field question.
Come to think of it, we'd jumped straight into the lesson without any self-introduction time?
"Yep, since open launch."
Thinking about it, it wasn't that out of nowhere, so I answered cheerfully.
["...What are you eating right now?"]
"Ramen."
— Viewer lmao — Viewer She was doing this in Eder bro's stream too I think — Viewer Ramen that time too wasn't it ["Uh... you must really like ramen."]
"Can't afford anything else."
I'd earned enough from the collab with Eder bro to order some delivery, but that cash was gone now.
Well, it went to giving beneficial advice to Suha, but no need to mention it—she might feel guilty.
I don't usually worry about others, but a little consideration for my first disciple is in order.
— Viewer ㅠㅠ our Nice noona's broke ㅠㅠ — Viewer Suha's gotta buy her something tasty fr fr — Viewer She blew it all on mythic weapon you jerks — Viewer Nice noona gold farming confirmed ["...I'll send you a chicken gift card after stream ends today."]
"N-No need."
Still... if she sends it, I'm happy.
"Your ordered ice cream is ready."
"Ah, yes, just leave it here."
["...Didn't you say you had no money?"]
"Gotta have dessert though."
— Viewer lmaoooooooooooooo — Viewer Suha you haven't sent it yet right? — Viewer Suha you got played? ["Enjoy..."]
"Yup."
By the way, looks like the part-timer changed.
Usually at this hour, there was a guy who looked a bit thuggish.
My memory isn't great for faces, but I remembered that creep because he'd suddenly tried to hit on me, leaving me dumbfounded.
Good thing he's gone. Would've been a real hassle running into him again.
Being a woman came with its share of weird encounters, but stuff like this was genuinely exhausting.
ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won! Sensei, what flavor is it? "Wanna guess?"
— Viewer Mint choco ramen? — Viewer Mint choco ramen vibes — Viewer It's mint choco ramen fr lol Mint choco ramen...?
"Toothpaste is 1,000 won at Daiso."
Who eats that crap.
"The answer is chocolate—hng... cold!"
Wait, hold up, my teeth hurt so bad.
["Eh? S-Saintess Nice?"]
— Viewer ?? — Viewer Sleepy — Viewer What was that sound? — Viewer ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ "Hng... phew, thought my teeth were gonna fall out... Huh? What about me?"
["No, that sound just now..."]
"What about the sound just now? Hng...! Ah, why's it so cold!"
— Viewer Thanks Suha thanks Suha thanks Suha thanks Suha thanks Suha — Viewer Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you — Viewer Recorded it go upload — Viewer Bro pls share — Viewer Is this really the sound of eating ice cream? ["No, Saintess Nice! Please stop making those moaning sounds!"]
What the heck is that supposed to mean.
"When did I ever moan?"
This is just brutally cold and hard to eat...
But it tastes good.
*Nom.*
"Hng...!"
["You're doing it right now!"]
— Viewer Suha real-time sobbing lol — Viewer I can't take it anymore brb — Viewer Mommy I wanna be ice cream! Mommy I wanna be ice cream! Mommy I wanna be ice cream! Mommy I wanna be ice cream! — Viewer lmaoooooooo Mmm...
Tasty.
"Hng...!"
["Saiiiintess Niiiice!"]
— Viewer Hng hng hng hng — Viewer ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ ㅇㅜㅇ — Viewer Thanks for real Suha Why's she screaming like that?
I just don't get it.
