Chapter Title: It's Not a Self-Deprecating Broadcast
-----------------------------------------------------------------
『Sniper education time lololol』
『That lawsuit is gonna stick hard lol』
『Using Communication Media for Obscene Acts = up to 2 years imprisonment or fine up to 20 million won』
『Sukka, never settle with that bastard』
『Fr, that guy crossed the line way too far』
Cheers erupted in the chat window in response to my lawsuit declaration.
The viewers were also pissed at the sniper's words and actions, with even some pretty harsh insults popping up.
Having seen the brutal chat, the sniper had assumed the classic dogeza position.
Her shoulders were trembling visibly, so it seemed like she was finally realizing the consequences of her actions.
But I'd never sued anyone before, so I had no idea what to do next.
As I chewed on my lip in thought, Hwarang from Universe helpfully chimed in with a chat message.
『Hwarang: If you're planning to sue, I'll cooperate to the fullest.』
『Hwarang: But first, we need to nail down that user's nickname for sure.』
『Hwarang: The sniper's nickname I checked is 'Nongnongtanya.' It's on her dog tag, so if you could confirm?』
"Ah, yes. Then I'll take your help this time. Thank you."
I didn't refuse his assistance and approached the sniper.
To proceed with the lawsuit, I'd need her personal info, so with Hwarang's help, things would go much smoother.
I could ask later why a game company employee had snuck into my stream.
Right now, dealing with the sniper in front of me took priority.
"Could you tell me your nickname?"
"......"
A quick glance showed the sniper still head-down in dogeza.
The bleeding from her thigh had stopped, so no need for treatment.
She'd blabbered endlessly via donations, but now that we were face-to-face, she couldn't utter a word.
In the end, I had no choice but to check her nickname myself.
"If you resist here, it'll be trouble for both of us. Please just stay still."
I used the barrel of my Mosin-Nagant to search the sniper's body.
Fortunately, no sidearm—she only had a few magazines and bullets.
With safety secured, I reached into her chest area.
An injured, unarmed suspect was no longer a threat, so I planned to pull out the dog tag myself to check the nickname.
"Excuse me for a sec."
"......"
Something felt off. Way off.
My hand, shoved into her chest, got caught between something.
The soft, squishy sensation against my knuckles made me grimace instinctively.
I started pressing down to figure out what this unpleasant valley was.
"......"
"Ungh..."
"......"
"Hngh..."
Sure enough, the moans leaking from the sniper were lewd beyond reason.
I'd expected some pervert panting, but instead, I got these breathy gasps.
No wonder her scream when I shot her thigh sounded so unmanly and frail.
Looks like the vicious sniper who attacked me was actually a female viewer.
『??????????』
『What???????』
『It was a girl???』
『Whoa... that's a new breed...』
『???????????』
Naturally, the chat exploded.
The endless barrage of question marks mirrored my exact feelings.
I pulled the dog tag from her chest and checked—it was indeed 'Nongnongtanya' as Hwarang said.
I couldn't hold back a sigh amid the awkward, disgusting situation.
"Haa... Why on earth did you do that..."
『It was a girl lolololololol』
『Wtf lololol crazy lesbian appears lololol』
『Psycho bitch lolololol』
『Crazy lesbian lololololololol』
"Why are you guys like this... What's a crazy lesbian anyway..."
『A girl who loves girls insanely?』
『Crazy lesbian = short for Crazy Psycho Lesbian』
『Oh what lolol just a regular crazy lesbian lolol』
『How tf do I even react lololol』
"......"
I barely swallowed my curse and glared at Nongnongtanya.
The viewers seemed thrilled by the female sniper reveal, but as the victim, I was just baffled and uncomfortable.
I'd never dreamed my scrawny body would be sexualized by women too.
It felt like stepping on a landmine I'd dodged even on the Eastern Battlefield.
"Haa... Keep your face covered for now... I won't show your nickname to the viewers either..."
『Aww why!! Just expose everything!!』
『Boo!! Don't protect criminal rights!!』
『Suddenly babying her cuz she's a girl wtf』
『I'm kinda liking this』
"I'm protecting you guys, not her... There's a ton of you crossing lines in chat right now..."
『Ah lolol fair enough lolol』
『Fr, these guys got horny in a whole new way once they knew lolol』
『Sukka looking out for us too... so sweet...』
『Sweet Sukka wtf』
For now, I decided to shield Nongnongtanya's rights from the viewers.
She was hiding her face, so probably no customization—didn't want her doxxed because of me and feel gross later.
Of course, it wasn't because she was a girl.
Even if the sniper had been a guy, I had no intention of letting the mob tear her apart.
I just wanted her to own her mistake and face the consequences.
I knew how horrific a ruined, scarred life could be, so I didn't want to wreck someone else's with my own hands.
"I won't torment you more than necessary. Just tell me why you did it."
I straightened Nongnongtanya's poncho while asking.
She flinched and trembled at every touch.
Soon, the frog-like prone girl sniffled a teary reply.
But her voice was too quiet to hear.
"......Sorry."
"I can't hear you at all... If you're scared, you can chat it."
"......"
At my suggestion, Nongnongtanya nodded.
Then she swiped at the air and started typing with surprisingly quick fingers.
Soon, donation messages poured into the stream chat.
As expected, she didn't want her nickname public—anonymous donations.
【User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 coins!】
〔I'm really sorry... Sukka was so cute I acted on impulse...〕
【User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 coins!】
〔Ever since I saw you cry because of Ttalgwi, the jealousy wouldn't fade...〕
【User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 coins!】
〔Your looks are just like my fave character...〕
【User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 coins!】
〔I must've lost my mind... sorry...〕
Honestly, I was a bit shocked she used casual speech even now.
She seemed like the type who gained confidence chatting.
Her motive made zero sense, unfortunately, but owning her crime and reflecting? That I liked.
I decided to give the trembling girl one last chance.
"No matter how jealous, violence is never okay. And saying my crying turned you on was too much. That was a lie to panic me, right?"
If Nongnongtanya admitted it was a lie here, the obscene acts charge might lighten a bit.
She couldn't erase forcing lewd talk on me, but the sentence would shorten for sure.
"No... It..."
But she didn't answer as I'd hoped.
She just shook her head, like she couldn't admit it, wouldn't deny her crime.
That threw me off instead.
Maybe she didn't get it—I gave her another shot.
"H-Here, it'd be better to just say it was a lie..."
"......"
"If you say it's a lie now, the punishment will be lighter..."
"......"
But despite my prodding, she kept shaking her head.
Her refusal to lie to the end felt like some deep conviction.
No need to go this far just to accept punishment.
In the end, I had to respect her stubborn resolve and back off.
"Haa... You like my crying that much?"
"Th-The... cutest..."
"Uh..."
"So... cute..."
A chill ran down my spine, and I backed away from her.
This woman would rather go to jail than deny finding me cute.
With her in dogeza, it was like facing a samurai ready for seppuku.
A vicious pervert sniper with rock-solid tastes? Terrifying.
『Whoa lolol look at that conviction lolol』
『Is that the last pride of a crazy lesbian??』
『Won't deny Sukka's cuteness even if it kills her!!!』
『That girl's already braced for the obscene acts charge lolol』
Viewers started marveling at Nongnongtanya's display.
It looked like a declaration against lighter punishment, and some even applauded her resolve.
But most kept their negative views.
No matter how amusing, her sniper crimes were crystal clear—funny didn't erase guilt.
『Sukka... don't forgive a girl like her...』
『Fr, dogeza but not naked? Already failed lol』
『Inducing panic in a PTSD girl from the start? Unforgivable』
『Hiding her face and nick is plenty merciful already』
"Yeah... I know..."
I nodded to the viewers demanding punishment.
I'd tried lightening the obscene acts charge, but that didn't mean forgiving everything.
And no, it wasn't because she was a girl.
Complex reasons, but mainly, her harassment hadn't even pissed me off.
On the Eastern Battlefield, I'd heard far worse daily.
Unpleasant, sure—I'm human—but hers felt like playful banter.
"No plans to go easy because she's a girl."
But her other aggressive acts? No forgiveness.
Betrayal from a trusted viewer turning enemy, disappointment at exploiting my weakness—those I couldn't stomach.
This incident cracked the trust I'd built.
It shook my bond with viewers, plain and simple.
If I didn't make an example of Nongnongtanya here, copycats would follow.
For peaceful streams, I needed firm, decisive punishment.
"I won't forgive you."
But I didn't want to overdo the crackdown.
Punish enough to impact her life without ruining it, serious but not light.
Conveniently, I had a solid ally in Universe's Hwarang.
I opened the manager chat and asked about punishment levels.
『Sukka: Hwarang. You offered help earlier—what sanctions can we apply?』
『Hwarang: First, provide her info to police for the lawsuit. And ban her biometrics from VR games.』
『Sukka: Can the biometric ban be lifted later?』
『Hwarang: Yes. We'll lift it whenever you want.』
『Sukka: Thanks. And let's talk later. Curious why a game rep came.』
『Hwarang: Yep... Preparing my dogeza too...』
Hwarang was prepping dogeza like he'd done something wrong.
But nothing came to mind, so no need to worry now.
Time to pass judgment on the sniper incident.
I spoke to viewers and Nongnongtanya with feigned sternness.
"First, suing you for obscene acts via comms. Evidence is on stream, so no excuses, I trust."
One: Sue Nongnongtanya for obscene acts.
Weak-willed me might settle midway, but viewers would learn: cross the line, get sued.
"Second, biometric ban on your VR gear. Just checked with Universe—greenlit."
Two: Biometric ban with Hwarang's help.
Universe dominated VR gaming, so effectively a game ban.
I'd probably lift it later too, but viewers: snipe Sukka, lose games.
"Last, ban from my stream. Bad girl goes to Gulag forever."
Three and final: Stream ban.
Barely a punishment, really—just added since ignoring felt off.
You could always watch alt accounts anyway.
Peanuts compared to the first two.
"Ah, no...!"
But it hit Nongnongtanya differently.
She finally spoke properly, then clapped a hand over her mouth in shock.
"Y-You startled me... Why react only to the last one..."
"St-Stream... not the stream..."
"You can watch on another account. I won't even notice."
"No... I already... linked my account..."
"......"
Account linking sent chills.
No idea why, but best not to know.
Curiosity kills the cat, and dodge visible mines.
I, Victoria Chernakoshka, wasn't some dumb cat dying to curiosity—I'd never stepped on a mine.
"No. Not changing it. Sorry, give up."
"I... uploaded clips... to YouTube..."
Damn. Tried dodging the mine, but it blew up on its own.
Nongnongtanya uploading my clips?
"D-Delete them all! You only uploaded me crying, right?!"
"But... it's cute..."
"Too low!"
"Sor...ry..."
A stalker trying to kill me would be easier.
Obsessed with affection, not malice—this burdensome?
Nongnongtanya needs Shin Ara counseling.
Too fed up to deal, I prepped to flee and yelled.
"Delete every one! Ignore and your sentence goes up! I'm off for Tactical Papasha now!"
"N-No... spare me once..."
"Nyet!!"
Never settle, I decided.
Grabbing my Mosin-Nagant, I backpedaled frantically.
That instant, Nongnongtanya's desperately raised face flashed in view.
Vicious sniper, psycho, crazy lesbian, landmine—all labels fit, but her face looked innocently mismatched.
『Nyet! = No!』
『Whoa... Sukka's disgusted face hits hard...』
『That girl's getting prison rice and full rewards lol』
『Super gross bitch but kinda jealous, normal?』
『Damn lol saw her face opportunity wasted lol』
『Hmm... this reward? Two years in the slammer fine...』
"C-Cut it out... Gonna sue you all..."
Somehow, a different example got made.
I Gulag'd the chat pervs and fled Nongnongtanya.
Rushing straight for Tactical Papasha, my steps weren't just swift—frantic.
The baffling encounter left even my PTSD dumbfounded.
Then, a message popped in the hitherto quiet donation window.
Sniper drama over, stream vibe returning.
【User ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 coins!】
〔Personal opinion: The sniper's sexual harassment is same level as other viewers' chats.〕
『Hey hey! Shut it man!』
『No way!!!!!! When did we ever!!!!!!』
『This is basically a settlement farm lololol』
『Kids here without manager would pant way harder lololol』
『She cluelessly jumped out the farm and got nabbed lololol』
"Hmm..."
Come to think of it, yeah.
Had I been too lenient with harassment all along?
