Chapter 9: Meow…?
In the end, even Yewha joined, and we decided to do a joint broadcast together today as well.
No, but when I asked if it was okay to do a joint broadcast for an apology broadcast, they comforted me with kind eyes.
They comforted me, saying that I should be confident since I didn’t do anything wrong, but… hmm, I didn’t do anything wrong, but since I caused discomfort, shouldn’t I apologize before anyone curses me?
Actually, before I considered this and that, I was a little touched by the fact that I had made two friends who would be on my side no matter what.
I’m also a little excited… This feeling is so new.
“Then, a joint broadcast now..?”
“No, there’s something we have to do before that!”
“What? Then when are we doing it? We have to do it quickly.”
“Now…. I think we have to turn it on..”
“We can do that later! Yejie, you have a problem! What do you think it is?”
What…. what is it..?
I’m full of problems even if you don’t say it…
Did I make any mistakes?
“Everything..?”
“Your outfit is the problem! Always a white t-shirt and jeans, that’s it!”
“Ah~ That’s right. It’s always this outfit every time I see it.”
Why is this a problem?
If it was a problem, wouldn’t someone have pointed it out to me?
Didn’t the viewers say anything?
“Why..?”
“Are you really asking because you don’t know? It’s much more serious than I thought.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“Because you’re always wearing that. That’s the problem!”
“Uh… I’m changing it every day..”
“That’s not the problem. It’s just that your face and body are wasted! And there are plenty of clothes that are more comfortable than that.”
“Hoodies are the best!”
It’s persuasive, but I didn’t have any money.
Everyone thinks I earned some money, but not all donations become my money.
It takes almost a month after applying to receive it.
So I have to survive on 400,000 won for a month.
No, is it 300,000 won now?
“Then next month..”
They didn’t even answer my words and dragged me outside.
They each grabbed one of my arms and linked them. What does that mean?
It’s not cold…
But the right arm feels a bit… The cold and hard prosthetic doesn’t feel good to hold.
“The prosthetic is hard…”
I tried to pull my arm out with a reluctant look, and Yewha looked at my face for a moment, smiled, and hugged me tighter.
“It’s totally cool?”
Yewha likes this kind of thing.
In the end, I lost the freedom of both arms and was being dragged somewhere.
It’s a little tiring to repeat the process of entering a clothing store whenever I see one, looking around, and coming out.
“There aren’t any clothes I like here.”
“I guess so.”
“This outfit doesn’t look good when I look closely. Let’s go somewhere else!”
“Right. The color is bad!”
I was wandering around repeating this endlessly, and they finally found a place they liked, and they held clothes against my body and told me to try them on.
The problem is that the clothes they gave me… were a skirt.
A blue blouse? that looks quite thin? That too…
“I… like pants…”
“You have to try these too! But why are you shy?”
“It’s a matter of taste. There are a lot of kids who like pants~”
My impression of the first skirt I wore… was quite unsettling.
I’m worried about the wind blowing through it, and since the bottom is open, I’m worried that it might show..?
And.. it seems a little short..?
I held the hem of the skirt with my hand and pulled it down slightly, but it wouldn’t stretch.
Why do you wear this?
“I…. but I don’t have any money..”
I made a timid resistance, but it didn’t work on these two.
“I’m buying it as a friend’s anniversary!”
“That’s right! I’ll choose for you too!”
I resented Jeongran, who was having fun choosing clothes with a smile.
Is she really a home security guard..?
You don’t qualify as an outsider… Lee Jeongran..!
Yewha originally had the vibe of an insider…
I was the only true outsider.
In the end, I kept changing and showing them the clothes they gave me dozens of times.
I also tried on a white dress and a high-waist crop top..? Shirring crop top..?
I don’t know.. Women are difficult.
Yewha gave me too many feminine clothes, so it was burdensome, but Jeongran recommended simple clothes, which was good.
Hoodies or orange patterned t-shirts… Dolphin pants or something to wear at home… It’s better than nothing.
Wow… All the women’s clothing is so expensive.
I feel like I’m asking for too much.
I was trying to get only a few plain clothes with that excuse, but in the end, I got a lot.
Stop shopping!
“I’ll pay you back, guys..”
“It’s a gift, you know?”
I nodded and agreed at Yewha’s strange pressure.
Jeongran felt like she was ignoring it completely.
Anyway, as I was trying to change into the clothes I was originally wearing, a sudden restraint came.
“No! I bought them for you, so why are you trying to change back into those clothes?”
“The empty feeling is a little strange…”
“That’s how it is!”
“That’s right!”
In the end, I had to go home in a skirt.
I wanted to hold the hem of the skirt because I felt uneasy, but they linked arms with me and took me away as if they were escorting me.
Are they… also doing this to Nyanji…?
Since it was almost broadcast time, we had a simple dinner at a nearby restaurant and went home.
When I got home, I felt comfortable because the anxiety seemed to have been relieved a lot.
Jeongran grabbed my legs, which were spread apart as I plopped down on the chair, and put them together.
“Look at her! You shouldn’t sit with your legs spread apart like this. Something big will happen!”
“Leave me alone…”
“Get up~ We have to start the broadcast soon~”
Jeongran patted my back, but I despaired that there was still work to be done since my mental fatigue was considerable.
Yewha turned on the PC and prepared for the broadcast settings, and turned off the cam.
Come to think of it, Yewha and Jeongran weren’t cam girls.
Come to think of it, these days, streamers seem to avoid cam broadcasts.
“These days, there aren’t many broadcasters who turn on the cam..?”
“The damage is bigger if you turn on the cam. Even if you turn off the cam, you get stalkers, let alone when you turn on the cam.”
“That’s right! There are so many trash guys, right? Suyang also got one.”
Um… Stalker… Fortunately, I don’t have one yet..
I don’t know how to respond… What should I do if I get one?
“That’s right! Yejie, you have a stalker too! Those f*ckersㅇ…”
I hurriedly covered Yewha’s mouth and stopped her.
You have a really foul mouth… Isn’t it a big deal if you do that on broadcast?
“Pretty words…!”
“Those dog-like bastards… mmph!”
She’s going to be careful on broadcast, right..?
As soon as Yewha went to the bathroom, Jeongran said something.
“Yes…?”
“Today, Nyanji asked if it was okay for her friend to participate in the broadcast for a moment. What do you think?”
“It’s okay… I want to meet them…”
“Really? That’s a relief.”
As soon as Yewha came out, we started the broadcast.
Teyli Just Chatting
Apology Broadcast
“Hey, why did you make the title like this! You didn’t do anything wrong!”
“You take care of Nyanji~ I think Yejie will know she was wrong if viewers come.”
“Why Nyanji again!”
“Nyanji seemed to have noticed yesterday??”
“Scary girl… She’s quick-witted…”
“Yewha is in big trouble~ She’ll probably come to see Nyanji’s joint broadcast~”
“You’re being ignored by Nyanji too!”
“That’s right..?”
[Why is the title like that again]
[She didn’t do anything wrong;;]
[Cheer up]
[She’s like, sorry alone kkkk]
[The broadcaster’s eyepatch design]
[We don’t even care about the scars~ I only see the prosthetic~]
[Extreme]
[The meat broth guys simp for the hacker with a prosthetic and using hacks in the gameㅋㅋ]
[Lock]
[What happened?]
[Idk]
[Bury]
[Zero]
[Car]
[Zero]
[Car]
[Extreme]
[Lock]
[Ban that guy]
[No sense;; Bury it quickly]
What’s going on?
This is the first time for me, so how do I deal with it?
I sent a look of help to Jeongran and Yewha, but they were just holding back their laughter.
The atmosphere is strange…
I’m the only one who doesn’t know…
The sadness of someone who doesn’t know.
How should I develop a sense?
This…
“Guys, hello~”
[I knew it kkk]
[Our Ddododan is here~]
“Hey! Is there no Heukwoodan?”
[Nope~]
[Find the Heukwoo at the farm]
[kkkk]
[Yewha is still nice… Stop teasing…]
“Guys, is our relationship all there is?”
[Yes]
[What relationship do we have kk]
[Ah kk Who are you?]
[Why isn’t Yejie saying hello?]
[She hasn’t grasped the situation yet]
“Uh… Hello…?”
[Why is it initialized in honorifics again]
[It doesn’t suit her kk]
[Cute~]
[It’s because she’s a rabbit kk]
[Coward characteristic) speaks politely when scared]
Is it okay, judging by the atmosphere?
The scars weren’t that terrible.
Well, Teyli is such a beauty that scars suit her, so it doesn’t seem to look that bad.
“About yesterday…”
[Why did you stop broadcasting without permission yesterdayㅡㅡ]
[I waited all day because the broadcast wasn’t on yesterday]
[What are you going to do today?]
“Guys, I don’t have much to say today, but Yejie, today is the day.”
[kkk]
[1 hour? ok]
[kkkkkkkk]
“Yejie is trembling like crazy today~ She was crying, you know? It’s not her fault, but she thinks too much. I wish she could gain some confidence~”
[Why is she acting like the only one living in the world?]
[Walk only the flower road~]
[It’s like a princess disease, I don’t even care about the scars~]
Are only kind people gathered here..?
Everyone’s reaction is so heartwarming… Are there too many kind people in this broadcast?
Tears welled up in my eyes because I was so touched.
I haven’t received this much attention from people in my life… There are so many touching things happening to me these days… My viewers are all kind.
The friend I made is kind, and the viewers are all kind, so they like whatever I do.
“What? She was crying? When? Are you leaving me out again!”
Nyanji: I’m the one being left out… Guys…
Yewha’s expression hardened slightly.
And Yewha made an excuse like a husband who told his wife he was going to a company dinner but was caught going to a bar.
This must be the person Jeongran mentioned, Nyanji.
Nyanji: See you later.
“Hey.. hey.. I did wrong…”
Nyanji: Why are you saying you did wrong first?
“Ah.. haha.. haha”
Yewha broke out in a cold sweat as if flustered.
This is the first time I’ve seen them like this.
Nyanji: Nice to meet you, Teyli-nim. Hello.
“Uh… Hello, Nyanji-nim..”
What is this…
[kkkkkkkk]
[Domhwangcha~]
[Yewha! That was fun!]
[Nyanji, you join too!]
“Right, Nyanji, join too~”
“Yeah, Nyanji! I was really waiting for you?”
Nyanji: Is that okay?
“Ah.. Of course…!”
Nyanji: Please invite me to Discord.
“Dis.. uh… Wait a moment… I’ll install it…!”
“I’ll do it.”
Yewha logged in and invited her to the Discord room, and Nyanji’s voice came through.
“Ah ah..”
I heard a nice husky voice.
“Jeongran… Did you leave me out and only take Yewha?”
“No~ That’s a misunderstanding..? I took Yewha because you were broadcasting at that time. Isn’t it Yewha’s fault for not telling you?”
“Lee Yewha!”
“Nyanji! I love you.”
“Me too.”
They laughed it off.
I don’t know the conversation code…
Is this a generation gap..?
Aren’t they the same age?
“Nyanji, speak comfortably with Yejie.”
“You have to ask them!”
“You can speak comfortably… I’m Seo Yejie…”
“Yejie, you too, speak comfortably. I’m Nyanji. I’ll tell you my real name later.”
I unexpectedly got along well with Nyanji, who had a gentle personality, and we decided to play a game called Scavenger Call together tomorrow.
As evening came, Yewha and Jeongran left together.
Of course, they nagged me about when I’d move before leaving.
“It’s a promise! You’re coming to Ansan!”
“Um… I’ll think about it…”
“No, Seoul is better.”
“You shut up!”
They bickered and left.
I feel good when they’re around, but… when they suddenly leave like this, I feel lonely.
By the way, will it answer today?
“Hey, when I get into the VR device, why is my right arm empty?”
[The technical ability is extremely low. Compatibility is impossible.]
“So, I have to continue accessing VR games without my right arm?”
[The reason for connecting is incomprehensible. The user’s favorable attitude towards VR games cannot be understood.]
“What? I’m trying it because VR games look fun.”
[It is normal for a user who has been tortured in VR to avoid VR devices. Unpredictable.]
“Have I been tortured in VR?”
That was an unexpected answer that wasn’t even in the story.
[Amputation of the body up to the acromion and damage to the eyeball during torture. The Empire’s torture methods have an 89% mortality rate, but the user survived. The user eventually suffered a severe mental breakdown due to torture using VR. Although they succeeded in escaping, the user found it difficult to maintain their personality afterward.]
“That’s what happened.”
[The user’s status has been checked. The memory is not intact. Current time 23:00. Past data cannot be accessed after this time.]
“What? I’m fine. I’m fine, I tell you! Hey!”
[There is no reason to escape the current situation. It is recommended to live without questioning the past in this place where the user’s wishes are perfectly fulfilled.]
“Hmm… I’ll do that even if you don’t tell me.”
[Surprise. The user’s agreement.]
“What about the data I transferred to the computer last time?”
[There is no access to the user’s personal belongings except in specific situations. Allow access to connect to the PC and delete it.]
“No.”
[Expressing regret.]
“But can’t you change the way you talk?”
[Reject]
It mumbled something I didn’t understand and turned itself off.
What does it mean?
