Yujin:

“While I was gone, I thought you all would have serious trouble with the game, but it doesn’t seem like it. Maybe I should consider retirement.”

Comments

-What are you even talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Teacher, please don’t joke like that and keep streaming forever, okay?

-I unfollowed everything except your stream, and you’re talking about retirement 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Yujin, those are scary words to throw around so casually 😂?

-And that’s the first thing you say? 😂

1:00 PM.

It was the fifth day since I’d taken a break from streaming. I decided to run the stream through Tricky using a drone cam, not VR this time. It felt like it had been ages, and considering my packed schedule while off, it probably was a fair feeling. As soon as the stream started, thousands poured in like waves. Starting at 50,000, it wasn’t until we reached around 70,000 that the rate of increase finally slowed. I’d noticed before, but once the numbers hit this level, it starts feeling surreal.

But I had no intention of losing my pace.

Yujin:

“Donations are disabled. I’m sure you all have plenty to say, but you can share those thoughts with your family and friends. Take this time to connect with loved ones.”

Naturally, the chat exploded with complaints about refusing their money, but it was like preaching to deaf ears—I didn’t care in the slightest. Instead, I raised my phone in front of the drone cam. It was the order receipt for two pizzas I’d placed about 10 minutes ago. A late breakfast that doubled as lunch.

If anything, the first “content” of the day could be considered a food stream.

Yujin:

“To be honest, I’ve only been awake for an hour. Took a shower 30 minutes ago. So if I end up passing out from food coma, please bear with me.”

Comments

-What on earth 😂😂😂😂😂😂

-This person has a knack for saying the weirdest things out of nowhere 😂

-Do you really think we’d stop watching if you napped? No way!

-Two whole pizzas from lunch—this is a rare sight

-So you’re streaming without makeup? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Despite all this, there was always the chance that every calorie consumed would be burned right off by my metabolism.

It wasn’t just a food stream, though; the pizza hadn’t even arrived yet. In the meantime, I decided to browse Tricky’s community. First, I noticed humor posts, indicated by a constantly flashing “N” icon for new uploads, but I had little interest in those.

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

Then my gaze fell to the fan art board.

Yujin:

“...Why are so many posts locked?”

Twenty-five posts on one page, with anywhere from 4 to 8 of them locked. Flipping to the next and following pages, it was a similar story. Different authors, most of them with high likes and comments.

The peculiar part? A higher frequency of locked posts from before I went to the Final Championship in the U.S.

Not that I didn’t have a hunch. Besides, as the owner of the Tricky board, I could view the contents of locked posts.

And, as expected...

Yujin:

“Wow.”

Comments

-Oh, dear...

-They really made this immortal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Those artists drawing the “saucy” pics must be sweating bullets right now lol

-You went right into that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-The tactical pockets are hilarious 😂😂😂

In one drawing, I was in an extravagant bikini I’d never actually worn. It was a drawing. Judging by the upload date, November of last year, back before I’d revealed my actual appearance. A little more forgivable, maybe—but I still couldn’t stifle a laugh.

How should I react to this? The quality was undeniably impressive, like they’d poured their soul into it. It was hard to describe, but on a site like an art-sharing platform, it would easily rack up 10,000 bookmarks.

Chat was filled with endless laughter.

Yujin:

“You’ve drawn it very well. Not that I’ve ever worn a swimsuit like that.”

Comments

-Ah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Does this imply you’ve worn something else? 🤔

-The art quality really is insane 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-“You’ve drawn it well” (but you’re coming with me to the coffin)

-So you’ll wear it someday, right? I’ll be waiting^^

As I scrolled, the top-recommended comment sat right there. “The tactical pockets are a riot 🤔 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”

Since I was on a roll, I decided to browse this artist’s works. Swimwear was only the start—there were suits, judicial robes, even ghostly white hanbok. Of course, the pocket names changed accordingly.

Yujin:

“Judgment pockets, fear pockets... I wonder what part of the brain you’re using for these terms. By the way, I’m not actually this... well-endowed.”

Comments

-😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-The “fear pocket” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-These terms are so absurd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Stop lying, teacher; it’s clearly accurate

One comment did catch my attention. I didn’t know what size this artist had assumed, but something told me it might actually be close to reality. Just the other day, my uniform’s top had nearly burst.

Anyway, the art was beautiful and nice to look at, though it might feel burdensome if they kept drawing this way. Most of the locked posts followed a similar trend. Tricky’s board had a lock feature, allowing users to restrict their posts to their own view.

Ding-dong!

Yujin:

“Time for fan art browsing after the pizza arrives.”

Setting up plates for the pizza and a cup for cola, I followed the rule: two slices stacked like a sandwich. Within minutes, I’d polished off four pieces, feeling energy return as the calories took effect.

The fan art browsing continued.

Yujin:

“By December, all the drawings are... high quality. Some really amazing ones.”

By that time, fan art of Logan and Lorentina had started increasing, as their strong impressions left an impact. And there were numerous pieces inspired by my dramatic plays from the Final Championship. It was like pieces lifted from a feature film—unexplainable with my limited descriptive abilities.

As I browsed through the countless drawings, one pizza vanished as if swallowed by the blink of an eye.

Wiping my mouth with a napkin, I added:

Yujin:

“Please stop emphasizing my chest in the drawings. It’s too exaggerated.”

Comments

-😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

-So should we make art focusing on your hips instead? (pretending not to hear)

-Look at these guys, just because you gave them an inch, now they’re pushing the boundaries 😂

-The local fan club isn’t done yet, I see 😂

-Is this the Independence Day pardon?

Of course, they probably wouldn’t listen, so I grabbed a tomahawk for effect.

No real reason, other than the fact that the pizzas were sticking together and needed cutting—though, of course, the viewers gasped and dramatically begged for mercy.

With a smirk, I added:

Yujin:

“Tonight, let’s head over to Los Angeles for a tour.”

The time was near to clean up America.
