Chapter Title: This Isn't a Self-Deprecating Stream
-----------------------------------------------------------------
‘Coffin, I’m really sorry. I’m glad you’re okay.’
I carefully wiped down the Coffin once more and sat on the bed.
Luckily, only the leather sofa had gotten a bit wet, and it didn’t seem to have any functional issues.
It felt embarrassing to call a repair technician over for something like this, and besides, the safety features meant it couldn’t be serviced anyway.
I was in no position to play FPS games on a perfectly fine VR rig, so if I didn’t want a forced logout headache, the Coffin was absolutely essential.
Just to be safe, I opened the window for some ventilation, and now it finally felt like my mistake had been fully cleaned up.
The washing machine humming away was helping with the evidence disposal too.
“Victoria... Want me to dry your hair for you?”
“.......”
“That wasn’t really meant to tease you... Can’t you forgive me now?”
“.......”
But even if I’d erased all the evidence, getting rid of the witness was another story.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Shin Ara, the sole eyewitness to this incident.
She’d tried to comfort Victoria after her suicide attempt, only to unintentionally extract a confession from me too—like some vicious detective.
Of course, if the old Victoria had heard it, she might’ve been comforted, but from my perspective, it just meant getting caught as a bedwetter.
I knew Shin Ara had no bad intentions, of course.
But even I couldn’t help getting sulky after hearing “It was cute because it was so you, Victoria.”
“How about we order something tasty today? My treat, so please forgive me.”
“.......”
“You’re really not gonna talk to me?”
“.......”
“Fine, I’m sorry... Guess I’ll head out then....”
“Ah.”
“Huh? You reacted! Does that mean you forgive me now?”
But my silent protest didn’t last long before it crumbled.
It was my fault for reflexively turning my head when Shin Ara made to leave without me.
No matter how sulky I was, I couldn’t just send her away like this.
It felt unresolved, and more importantly, I really needed her help today.
It seemed like it was time to stick my duckbill in.
I fiddled with the blanket and made her one proposal.
“Um, then... if you sleep in the same bed with me tonight, I’ll forgive you....”
“Huh? You want me to stay over?”
“Yeah... I’d like it if you held me...”
“Gasp!”
What I wanted from Shin Ara was none other than sleeping together.
I hadn’t gotten a wink last night and was exhausted, and I had a feeling I’d toss and turn with nightmares again tonight.
Tomorrow, I’d test-drive the Stuka and then dive headfirst into full-scale combat.
So I had to relieve the fatigue building up in my body and mind.
That’s when it hit me—sleeping with Shin Ara.
After all, the only recent night I’d slept soundly was the one with her.
If I slept next to a comrade like on the Eastern Front, I’d feel safe too.
I’d huddled with Irina plenty of times to avoid freezing to death, so someone’s body heat would keep the scary dreams away.
“W-what do you mean by that?”
But Shin Ara’s reaction was off somehow.
I’d expected her to agree readily, but she was flustered and even stammering.
I started feeling down, wondering if I’d asked too much.
A bedwetter who couldn’t even sleep alone—like a total dwarf shit-sack. It really made me feel like a little kid, which was humiliating.
“I wanted to sleep with Ara unnie... Sorry if that upset you....”
“No, adult women shouldn’t say things like that so casually.”
“I thought it’d be okay with Ara unnie....”
“I-I think it’d be okay if it’s with you, Victoria? But don’t sisters have boundaries they should keep?”
“Yeah... Sorry for asking too much....”
Looks like Shin Ara had decided to keep work and personal separate.
And since she had to go in tomorrow too, I could understand her reluctance to stay out.
Guess I’d have to sleep alone again tonight after all.
It wasn’t my favorite method since my reflexes would be shot, but maybe I’d grab a bottle of vodka instead of sleeping pills.
But asking Shin Ara to run that errand felt bad too.
I bit my lip and glanced at her, and Shin Ara spoke up like she’d made a decision.
“Okay! Let’s sleep together!”
“R-really?”
“Yeah! It’s my first time too, but nice to be with you!”
“Huh? First time? We’ve slept together before.”
“Uh, y-yeah?”
“You held me until I fell asleep last time. You already forgot?”
“.......”
Shin Ara’s mouth fell open as her face turned beet red.
Then she started rolling around on the bed, berating herself with “I must be crazy!”
Seems like she’d misunderstood what I meant.
Seeing her that embarrassed, she’d probably imagined something naughty.
I chuckled lightly and poked her side repeatedly.
Now it was time for the bedwetter to tease the lewd demon.
“Ara unnie, what were you just thinking about?”
“N-nothing!”
“What kind of decision did you make? Huh? What did you take that to mean?”
“Argh! I don’t know!”
Maybe it wasn’t even that dirty a thought, come to think of it.
Shin Ara, who’d never had a boyfriend, had probably only imagined something like a kiss.
Of course, I wanted to believe that too.
After all, lurking inside Shin Ara was “Kukudas,” the “Abyss Admin.”
Poking too much might get me swallowed by the abyss.
Realizing that, I flinched and stopped teasing.
“So, you’re sleeping with me tonight?”
“Yeah... Sorry for the misunderstanding....”
“No, it makes me happy that you like me that way. Let’s order something tasty first. I’m hungry.”
“Okay... Anything you want?”
Shin Ara asked about the menu, sweating bullets.
It was a side of her I’d never seen, so it felt pretty fresh.
Instead of answering, I grabbed my smartphone and opened the delivery app.
If I named something now, she’d handle the order and payment herself.
“No British or French food?”
“Huh? Not doing Korean today?”
“Yeah, I owe Britain and France from playing the game earlier.”
“What?! You played Frontark again today?!”
“Oh, yeah. You didn’t watch the stream?”
“No... I was a bit busy today....”
I browsed delivery spots while chatting with Shin Ara.
I felt like honoring the NPCs’ hard work with some British food.
But sadly, picking a menu was way too hard.
There weren’t many tasty British dishes to begin with, and the French ones I checked as a backup weren’t available for delivery.
In the end, my compromise pick was oyster rice.
Not British or French, but at least the ingredients would match.
British eat anything, so oysters loved by the French it was.
With the order and payment done, I flopped onto the bed next to Shin Ara.
“Victoria... Looking at the Frontark gallery again?”
“Yeah, the people here are hilarious.”
“Couldn’t you watch YouTube or something? I’m worried about the bad influence.”
“Kukudas.”
“Urk! Y-you know if you click here, you only see quality posts?”
I naturally started browsing the Frontark gallery.
Oyster rice took a while to prepare, so I needed something to kill time.
Soon, in the quality posts list, one shocking thread caught my eye.
Shin Ara and I clicked it like we were mesmerized and read on.

“Victoria... Is this okay?”
“I-I don’t know....”
The face I’d shown from the start had spread to the world.
I had no idea how to take it, leaving me confused.
I opened the messenger app to ask my senior streamer for advice.
Thankfully, there were several messages from Ttalgwi that I hadn’t noticed.
[Ttalgwi: Sukka... I might be a bit late tomorrow...?]
[Ttalgwi: The game was too scary... I kinda wet myself in the VR rig?]
[Ttalgwi: I’ll get checked just in case before logging in.]
[Ttalgwi: ?? Don’t tell anyone about this!!!!]
My face got exposed and I gained a bedwetter comrade.
It was all too chaotic.
