Thanks to TripleNet's system, anyone with an email could create an account anytime, which is how things had spiraled into this mess.
The existing viewers valued the memories they'd built up with me on their accounts, so they didn't switch easily. But the journalists flooding in now were different.
Scrape, scrape.
She scraped through the regular subscriber list once more.
<Chat Moderator has been registered> "Second Army, deploy!"
— ⚔️Reinforcements have arrived! Hang in there! — Room owner, what's with the beauty? lol — lololol This place is hilarious Scrape!
"Third Army, deploy!"
— ⚔️Kkiyoyot! I'm on it too! — Room owner me too! Room owner me too!! Scrape!!
"Fourth Army, deploy."
— ⚔️Eekuyoit! You have been forcibly removed.

Scrape! Scrape! Scrape! Scrape!
Because of the unique nature of my viewers, subscriptions had exploded on day one.
Including them, she crammed everyone who had subscribed through the following week into chat moderators.
Considering other streamers hired maybe four or five chat mods at most, this was insane.
The number came to about 5,000.
She lowered her voice as much as possible and brought her mouth to the mic.
"I am the legion."
— ⚔️ㄷㄷ Autumn Day Queen — ⚔️Legion evolution and genetic modification confirmed — ⚔️Modifying and altering lifeforms — ⚔️Made excellently — ⚔️We evolve Compared to how big the incident had blown up, things settled down surprisingly quickly.
Even if each one only culled one person, that was 5,000.
"You newbies, listen well to the veterans."
— Ungae! — ⚔️Ungae! "You punk, not you."
— ⚔️Ah lolol Branded — ⚔️It was the interest list, not the blade lol "Handled it well, cleaned up nice and tidy. Right?"
— ⚔️Heh;; Yeah, handling (sword dance), tidy cleanup (neck chop) The occasional weird chats still trickling in were getting instantly deleted in the blink of an eye.
— [Cha-ching!] — ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won — Room owner, why not bounce them with donation chats? — ⚔️Fr real, that's the fastest "Then newbies can't chat. You guys wanna stay maknaes forever? Might as well convert your viewers into ours while we're at it."
— ⚔️Kya, that deep meaning — lololololol "Urgh! Haa—."
It was short, but she'd handled a big task.
Stretching refreshingly, the stiffness from waking up melted away.
"Anyway, done."
— ⚔️Good work, room owner — ⚔️lolol Aren't we the ones who worked? "Kids, I'm gonna eat and come back when the weather cools down a bit."
— ⚔️???? — ⚔️Where you going — Don't go ㅠㅠ — ⚔️Told you to catch on lolol <Han Ga-eul has ended the stream> Leaving the increasingly noisy chat behind, she ended the stream right away.
Her quick-witted viewers probably got the hint by now.
"I'm hungry."
"Gonna go smoke, wanna eat outside?"
"Yeah!"
She grabbed her cigarettes and headed out, giving Baeksul her breakfast before lighting one up.
"Fuu—."
—Northeast total sound effects.
—No, bros! Support is sucking so bad! Is this my fault?
—Proxy enhancement entrusted by viewer incoming. You know I one-shot, right? Doing it from my dedicated spot.
"That's not how you enhance."
Smoking while flipping through other streamers' broadcasts, most were playing games.
FPS or AOS genres like Panic Field dominated, with a few doing RPGs here and there.
Otherwise, eating.
—Kuh! Hangover cure's sundae gukbap.
"Ah, sounds delicious."
Spinning yarns with lively banter.
—Took a taxi yesterday, driver kept asking what I ate alone, so I said squid rice. Then he takes out his left earbud and glances at me in the rearview.
"Eek. I'm embarrassed for you."
She couldn't remember the last time she'd checked out other streams, too busy with her own.
As she smoked and watched streams, Baeksul flew into her arms.
"Cutie pie. All done eating?"
"Yeah. Full."
"Good job. Let's go in."
Carrying Baeksul back to the room and plopping into her chair, a sigh escaped her.
After the chaotic atmosphere that had muddled her mind, she felt the need for a brief escape into indulgence.
Steeling herself, she logged into TripleNet with her secret hobby account.
<Han Gyeo-ul has started streaming> Staring at the viewer count, it didn't budge after 30 seconds.
Viewers: 0
"Hmm... Why?"
She wondered if she'd overestimated herself.
Her streams always filled up in under 15 seconds, viewers rushing in to greet her.
Unable to just wait idly, she looked for something to do and spotted the folder with the expensive virtual file she'd bought before.
"You can customize it, huh."
She'd only used the default since she didn't know, but firing up the extension turned it into a dress-up game.
Pondering what to wear, Baeksul, nestled quietly, got curious and poked at one outfit on the monitor.
"Like this one?"
"Yeah."
Come to think of it, Baeksul had picked the pink-haired avatar too.
Poke.
"This one too?"
"Good."
Her tiny ears perked up as she picked intently; it was so cute she played along with Baeksul's shopping spree for a good while.
"How 'bout this?"
"No."
After repeated undress and dress, she got a sense of Baeksul's tastes.
"Good."
"Hmm. Me?"
"Yeah."
Looking at the various avatars Baeksul had tweaked to completion, it seemed she wanted to make them look like her somehow.
Scanning the slot-saved avatars, even clothes she'd worn once were recreated as closely as possible, like she remembered.
"Pffft. My baby. Wanted to make 'em like me, huh?"
"Yeah!"
"Aww, so pretty."
Rubbing her soft belly, Baeksul sprawled contentedly; she petted her once more, saved the avatar, and closed the window.
It felt like they'd played for ages, and checking the computer clock confirmed quite some time had passed.
"Ah, right. Stream's on."
Glancing belatedly at the stream window, viewers were rioting.
— Oh right? Oh right? You an umbrella or what?! — Room owner wanna get hit? Huh? Wanna? — lolol Chairman sashimi portion used here — Huh? Why am I... tearing up...? The chat was like a bustling marketplace. Viewers were properly pissed.
"My babies here? No, wait. Ahem. Annyeonghaseyo~ Newbie-chan Han Gyeo-ul here."
— Hang 'em!!! — Lil boss, not fixing that tongue? — Voice change is spot on lolol — Chatting with Baeksul for an hour then Han Winter? lolol — [Cha-ching!] — Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won — Winter-nim, +100 if aegyo succeeds — Kya chairman welcome — Safe asset crazy? lolol A mission she couldn't do even if she wanted to, price aside.
Normally she'd riot, but now she had to play along for the viewers. That was their unique friendship.
"...Fucking... bastards..."
— Ahem, Winter-chan, we can hear you — Room boss-ling, admiration bubbling from the dantian right? lolol Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the disgust already trying to burst out.
"Kyaa♡ Winter-uwu♡ came to the stweam. Gyeo-uwu. I wuv you aww so much♡!"
— This is totally insane lololol — Newbie voice is so pretty "Owner, you okay?"
"Yeah, fine."
Even Baeksul, who'd seen all the good and bad, was worried.
— Room boss-ling must've taken massive internal damage lolol "Did I succeed?"
— Succeed? lolol — lolol Winter-nim's shamelessness looks just like someone we know — So brazen can't even speak lolol That's our room owner This should be enough courtesy to avoid cracking the precious friendship she'd built up.
"But why's everyone so mad?"
— Ah lolol 3k for a stab? Heading over now — Room boss-ling, you said eat and come when weather cools! Why here? "Hmm. Not sure what you mean, but maybe 'smoke then come to Winter'?"
— Hit with sudden stream end, thought it was serious? It was a quiz? — How to solve lol — Bring Asher!! "If you're waiting for someone precious, why not set an alarm?"
— Busy brainwashing newbies, checked alarm late but came super fast — Fr came in under a minute From the reactions, it seemed the precious friendship was cracking.
From her streaming experience, in situations like this, she needed to gently soothe the viewers.
She cautiously uploaded the hidden avatar.
— Pisses me off so bad lololol — Room owner where tf? lol — Room owner plz use avatar or real face appropriately, not randomly — Wait lol 30 sec wait then 1 hour AFK? — That's our room owner lolol — Room owner hits me with cognitive dissonance every time lol Seeing the warm reactions, Baeksul's customized avatar had conveyed her sincerity.
"Everyone! Stop talking about others and have fun with me. Whoever it is, I'm not that person."
— lolol Playing along — So what we playing? "Hmm."
Without anything planned, thinking led her back to the streamers she'd watched while smoking.
"Bored, how 'bout sniping other streamers' games?"
— Holy room boss-ling it is — No way two crazies like this in one era — Thought process is on another level from us
