Chapter 2: Explaination

<But are you sure it’s a hack?>
Like the Overwatch Frog incident, are you trying to be a forest friend because you turned out to be really good at hacking?

ㅇㅇ: Welcome, Teyli~
ㅇㅇ: The smell of the meat is strong these days kk
ㅇㅇ: But she seems so confident, I don’t think she’s a hacker
ㅇㅇ: Fact) There are tons of guys who explained and explained so blatantly

<Teyli is definitely a hacker>
No doubt kkk

Looking at it frame by frame, she’s moving with only hand gestures, even though Lee Sin didn’t even shoot sound waves from his hand.

The decisive evidence here is that she avoided the Fizz ultimate at the last minute, when it only started to be visible right in front of Jhin.

ㅇㅇ: Wow, this is for sure kkk
ㅇㅇ: Even if it’s not a hack like this? kkk Just say Teyli’s a b*tch for using hacks
ㅇㅇ: But why do they like the Duras?

Gachyang: Her voice is great
ㅇㅇ: Sigh kkk, the reason for not turning it on is obvious, right?
ㅇㅇ: But isn’t it normal that hackers get the ban wave every day because they keep getting caught? kk

<I heard from Ingben kkk>
Teyli,
And when I searched, she’s a gold player, and when you see her doing the helper movement, doesn’t it make you think anything?

ㅇㅇ: Rejected good luck
-ㅇㅇ: Real?
-ㅇㅇ: You believe that..? Just because I think so kk

ㅇㅇ: I think Teyli noona is being wronged
-ㅇㅇ: Did she reveal her age?
-ㅇㅇ: She’s beautiful, so she’s noona
-ㅇㅇ: How do you know if she’s pretty or not? kkk

ㅇㅇ: Fun-filled~
-ㅇㅇ: When will she explain?
-ㅇㅇ: Idk
ㅇㅇ: I’m holding my breath until she explains!
-ㅇㅇ: I didn’t think it would go this way….
Kaede-chan: It’s not weird at all for Gold players to do that kind of move
-ㅇㅇ: If you see her move in replay, you’ll know right away

Is she a foreigner?
I’ve never heard of her

Tongtongbury Chairman: She’s a small streamer who hasn’t been broadcasting for long
-ㅇㅇ: The debut is glorious kk

It’s fun to talk.
While I was at the community center to verify my identity, there wasn’t a single place in the community that wasn’t talking about me.
The invitation from Ingben, which I thought would come immediately, didn’t come for a week.

As time went on, the malice intensified, and I was shut in my room, trembling.
I waited for an invitation from the streamer, but instead of an invitation, they were busy cursing me.

On YouTube, they made a lot of noise, saying that the leakers and Leoroo broadcasters should invite me or do a collaboration and prove it.
I was called a cheater, and I didn’t say anything about not receiving an invitation from Ingben, but they made up their own stories and spread false rumors.
Well, from the perspective of others, Teyli’s abilities would seem to be abilities beyond physical abilities, and impossible for humans.

She could see and lightly dodge bullets that came in the blink of an eye, let alone the skills of game characters.

But did Ingben invite me?
I didn’t get a note or an email.
I wouldn’t know my email address, so it’s natural.

Then where did they invite me?

Did they send a note to my broadcast account or game ID?
The only places Ingben could contact me were the Twitch broadcast account and Leoroo…

When I logged in to Twitch and checked, there were tons of notes piled up, and after looking through them, there was definitely one that seemed to be from Ingben.

[Hello. This is Ingben.]

We’d like to invite streamer Teyli, who is a hot topic these days.
If you’re willing to participate, we’ll invite you according to Teyli’s schedule.
However, we’d appreciate it if you could send us an email one day before you come to adjust the broadcast settings and schedule.

I could hear the whispers around me.
I don’t know what they mean, but isn’t it an evaluation of my appearance?

[Thank you for the invitation.]

Thank you for helping me with my explanation like this.
Is it possible tomorrow?

Although they’re inviting me not to help me purely but as content that guarantees viewership and popularity, it’s better to see it as a win-win situation.
Still, I was happy with the good news because of the suffering I went through for a week.
I felt my heart relax to some extent.

I got up from the chair at the sound of my number being called and walked over.
The counselor’s eyes were shaking as I got closer.

“h… hi?”

“I can speak Korean…”

“You… are fluent.”

“Of course…”

By ending the conversation ambiguously, I finished the topic, and the counselor asked me a question in a rather skillful manner, unlike her initial surprised look.

“What did you come for?”

“I came to reissue my resident registration card…”

“Your name?”

“Seo Yejie….”

The fact I found out when I opened my wallet was that my name and photo had completely changed on my resident registration card.
Of course, I wasn’t sure, so I thought of reissuing it for a definite confirmation.
Although I decided after much thought at home, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
By the way, what was my original name?

“Could you take your fingerprint with your right thumb here?”

Uh…
I don’t have a right arm…
When I slightly raised my arm to show, I saw eyes shaking like an earthquake.

Oh, I made a mistake.
I’ve never had this happen while counseling…

The only thought that filled my head was that thought.
Why didn’t I know?
It’s obvious, isn’t it?
You could have known if you had looked a little closer.

In fact, from the moment she entered, she took the attention of the staff and residents here.
She’s a beautiful woman to the point that anyone could easily lose out, and the reason why it attracts attention is because of her eyepatch and what seems to be a prosthetic arm.
I thought it was cosplay, but to think it’s real… But do prosthetics come out like that these days?

I don’t know her, but it wasn’t hard to guess that she had a difficult past.
I couldn’t help but look at her with sympathetic eyes, knowing it was rude.

“Oh… um… will you put… your left hand?”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to feel bad, so I was able to process it quickly.
I didn’t know she was Korean with that appearance…
It’s the first time I’ve seen a beauty that makes me feel good just by looking at her.
This incident will remain in my memory for a long time.

Ugh, it’s hard to talk to people after a long time.
After all, it’s best for a freeloader like me to stay home.

I was already worried about people’s gazes, but it was a very comfortable feeling when I got home.
My mind became very comfortable because of the contact from Ingben.

“Home is the best!”

Isn’t there also a famous saying that “it’s dangerous outside the blanket”?
By the way, who is Seo Yejie?

Who am I?
Is this the world I knew?

I’m me, who else?
I have to decide on what to wear tomorrow.

When I opened the closet, I couldn’t see anything other than the white T-shirt and jeans I was wearing and a few pieces of women’s underwear.

I put aside the embarrassing memory of struggling to wear underwear after searching for how to wear underwear yesterday, and I waved my hand to find other clothes, but there was nothing special.

It can’t be helped!
Tomorrow’s fashion is the neighborhood freeloader… No, is it the neighborhood swan?
It’s the neighborhood swan’s convenience store stroll fashion.

I don’t need to dress up to go to the explanation, so I’ll just wear the clothes I usually wear.
I took out the white T-shirt and jeans I would wear tomorrow and sat in the chair and thought about the things so far.

Was it just my delusion that it feels a little different from the world I knew?
Strangely, it felt a little different from the communities and Leoroo’s popularity I knew.
It’s a popular game, but there was a game that was mentioned frequently, was it a new game?

The streamers I followed were also playing different games, not Leoroo, and half of the Leoroo broadcasters had decreased.
In the community, it felt like they were treated as a folk game.
No matter how big the incident is, the game of that scale couldn’t collapse at once.
There seems to be something I don’t know, but I don’t know what it is.

Jiiing-

[You can come by 7 o’clock tomorrow.]

If you have a mouse or keyboard you use personally, you can bring it.
Please be sure not to be late.

I replied roughly and lay down on the bed.
It doesn’t change anything to worry about like this, and I don’t feel the need to worry.
As I was fiddling with my phone, the plain profile picture of KakaoTalk caught my eye.

Why is that?
It seems that I don’t like the traces of the past.
Since I’m starting anew, I decided to take a selfie and put it on my profile picture.

Click

My face in the photo looked expressionless, but I didn’t like it.
You have to smile, you fool.

I forced my lips up and took a picture, but it was just ridiculous.
Why do these expressions come out?
In the end, I registered the photo from earlier as my profile picture and changed my name from Teyli to Seo Yejie, my current name.

I was a Teyli otaku in the past, so I named my KakaoTalk Teyli.
It’s a funny thing when I think about it now.
A guy who doesn’t have any friends, why would he keep changing his KakaoTalk profile?
I had a few game friends, but there wasn’t a single person who could be called a real friend.

Chamgebireong asked me to tell him my real name.
Of course, I refused…

I felt gloomy when I thought about it, so I decided to continue what I was doing.
I hesitated for a moment about what to write in my status message, but I didn’t think of anything in particular, so I wrote anything.

-I don’t know.-
It seems that anyone could tell that I just wrote it roughly.

Why am I doing this meaningless action?
Who is watching, that I’m doing this?
I felt pathetic and threw my phone away and closed my eyes.

Will they give me a performance fee tomorrow…?
I fell asleep with that thought.

“Ah, hello. I’m Kim Hyeon, the game caster of the Ingben broadcasting station. Hmm hmm…”

Good news came to me, who was a Leoroo professional caster.
The Leoroo scene, which had been dead, has recently begun to regain vitality.
Of course, it’s not a good thing, but it wasn’t bad since Leoroo’s popularity had fallen so much.

I heard the sound of someone opening the door while preparing for the broadcast.
Did she come?

“Teyli-nim has arrived!”

“Hello…”

Uh… cosplay is… not it, right?
Teyli was a stunning beauty completely different from my imagination.

“Oh my! Thank you for coming, Teyli-nim. Are you a model?”

“No, I’m a swan…”

“Ah! I thought you were a model because you’re so beautiful.”

“I’m grateful for the compliment…”

“Are you… cosplaying?”

I saw her close her mouth with a wry smile at my question and realized that I had made a mistake.
It’s not cosplay?
I knew that if I could also tell the story of the eyepatch and prosthetic arm, I could get sympathy and also make the broadcast a big hit, but I didn’t want to because of my conscience.

She’s already so subdued and can’t speak properly, and I didn’t even want to touch her on purpose.

Judging by her reaction, is it possible that the wounds of her heart haven’t healed yet, and I might be stirring them up?
I felt like I added to her gloomy expression.
She is already being tormented by malicious comments, and I lacked consideration.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“No. It’s possible…”

Actually, she can hit it big just by sitting there.
No, she’ll definitely hit it big.
This broadcast will be a big hit in many ways.

This is my instinct as a caster.

I left for the Ingben headquarters as soon as I woke up today.

The Ingben company that I arrived at looked several times larger than I thought.
Oh, Ingben’s company is bigger than I thought.
I came without thinking, but I was nervous again.

“Don’t be too nervous, and you can play as usual since it will start soon.”

“Yes.”

“Alright, it starts in 10 seconds.”

I didn’t know when I did it as a solo broadcast, but it felt different from usual because so many people were broadcasting together.
Should I say it’s more careful?

“Hello. I’m Kim Hyeon, the game caster of the Ingben broadcasting station. Today, we’re going to greet you with streamer Teyli. Teyli-nim, please greet the viewers.”

“Hello… I’m Teyli.”

“Yes, because of this controversy, you must not have found it easy to come to this place, and if you have any stories you’d like to tell, I’d appreciate it.”

A story I’d like to tell…. what should I say?
I apologize for causing a stir. And I’m wronged and misunderstood?
Why does everyone cling to me?

It’s hard for me, too.
I think it’s good that I, who was sick and ordinary, became a healthy and beautiful body, but I was still confused.

I needed time to adapt to this changed world, I lacked time to get to know my changed body, and the sudden attention was burdensome.
Why are they all so eager to hate each other?

The explanation will end if I play a few games.
But what about the things I was cursed for over the fact that I was making up facts to the cruel people?
They’ll just move on as if it wasn’t a hack.

In the end, these things will be repeated endlessly even if it’s not me, and the witch hunt won’t stop.
It’s no wonder that it’s called the era of hate.
I thought I’d curse them to the fullest in the interview for a week, but it wasn’t easy to say it out loud.

Because I was so afraid.

“I’ll do my best…”

What is the caster, who looked at me in a slightly puzzled look, thinking?
A social misfit with no arms?
Maybe they’re thinking that she can’t even eat the meal they’re serving.

My thoughts are leaning towards the bad side today.
Although I know that this is an opportunity and not a crisis.
Did the stress of all this time burst?

“Ah… haha! It’s said that seeing is believing! Show your plays through the game! You came out because you want to show your play to the viewers, so the viewers can also watch and judge.”

I moved to the booth as they told me, and I followed the guide to enter the booth and sit down.
It looks much better than my home computer.

When I sat down and logged in to Leoroo, the complex thoughts and stuffy feelings were somewhat relieved.

Yes, only good things are left from now on, so there’s no reason to be angry.

Shall we prove it now…?

I didn’t know in my dreams how today’s explanation broadcast would be received by people.
