Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 348: Justification
[What’s this called when both the Silent Swordsman and Whisper die at the same time?][10]
(Silent Swordsman tilting his head meme)
DonggwiyeojiWait, they’re really doing Donggwiyeoji?What’s Donggwiyeoji?There’s a forbidden secret in the restaurant industry.A type of blood-letting service where both businesses can fail at once if it’s performed!Oh, so that’s what it was?No, you idiot, haha.But it’s so natural, it’s surprisingly convincing.Why is there no Donggwiyeoji in our neighborhood's restaurant industry?Because there’s no Mark 2 there.
[Is it true that the Silent Swordsman died to save Mark 2?][7]
The Silent Swordsman was still alive...
It was an ending that made you feel both moved and cool at the same time.Seriously, it was like watching a movie.Powering up the final boss, Donggwiyeoji from the protagonist, and the daughter of the surviving protagonist. It’s truly a masterpiece.Confession time, I teared up «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» watching it live.Above or below?Below, haha.Wow, the guy above is seriously messed up.
[So, what about the bet?]
The civil war was just a side event, and the main event is supposed to be Ida Hae battling in Battle Minesweeper, right?
So, you’re saying someone like that will fight with Ida Hae?What will Unnie do? 😭😭Now I get why Lee Hae-chan lost...I don’t like Lee Hae-chan, but I understand... 😭😭Without stepping on platforms and flying freely, while only activating the final weapon, he’s rampaging like a monster. How do you beat that?But still, if it’s Ida Hae, who’s ranked #1 in Battle Minesweeper, maybe she can handle it?
The reactions on VTube were intense.
The Silent Swordsman, the Abusive Swordsman, and the Disregarding Swordsman.
Until the civil war, the Silent Swordsman was criticized half-jokingly as Mark 2 fell flat on his face while she ignored him. But the twist in the ending completely changed perceptions.
The Silent Swordsman, who had ignored Mark 2 in an attempt to deceive a potential rival, had secretly cherished Mark 2 to the point of using a forbidden technique that would result in a death penalty in the broadcast history. This was revealed to the whole world.
“Idiot. Fool. If you were going to hide it, you should have hidden it better in real life. Now you’ve broadcasted your weakness to the entire world live.”
[That was a risk I had to take. Besides, there’s probably no enemy in the real world as strong as Whisper was back then.]
“Was Whisper really that strong?”
Lee So-hye, who had been scolding, was suddenly shocked and asked.
Ha Eung Eung nodded calmly.
“In Battle Minesweeper, can you get that strong just by stepping on platforms?”
[No, it’s only achievable by those at Whisper’s level, who can use external forces.]
That was a powerful strike that could have reached the realm of Hwakyung (a significant martial arts level).
Even if the boss of the Black Faction Army was there, no one could have taken that hit head-on.
Of course, someone might try to kidnap Mark 2 and attempt something like what Whisper did, but reality and games are very different.
“Your Highness, today, I’m specially offering honey candy.”
“A gift. I caught the pigeon that landed in the backyard. This is a trophy that Mark 2 caught.”
Thanks to this, Mark 2, in a good mood from confirming her mother's love, kept sending gifts one after another. Ha Eung Eung wasn’t in a bad mood either.
“So, what about the final showdown?”
“?”
“You’re making the face like you totally forgot... about Ida Hae. Weren’t you practicing to fight with Ida Hae this time?”
Ha Eung Eung’s beautiful brow furrowed.
Once again, stepping into a world where she had once died.
As someone who had experienced the Mu-Rim Bi-Mang-Rok (the martial arts biography of death), it was unpleasant in many ways.
[You’re not planning to get as strong as Whisper, right?]
“Unnie doesn’t know martial arts. She’s not even an Awakened one.”
[At least that’s a relief.]
“She’ll step on platforms like crazy. If you just roughly look at her pattern, she’ll wipe everything out 30x30 blocks at a time.”
Beep.
Lee So-hye turned on the video of her sister.
37 million views.
Titled Battle Minesweeper Invincible Mode, the title alone indicates Ida Hae had powered up with increased attack and defense stats.
She was blocking all types of weapons with just her "walk".
Even the mines couldn’t damage her.
It was just like when Whisper played.
The mines didn’t cause enough damage to pierce her defense.
Other videos like Attack of Ida Hae with 23 million views, and Ida Hae vs. 99 with 22.5 million views were also released one after the other.
The common thread in all of them was that she was virtually invincible, moving like a siege tower, unable to be harmed by attacks.
[Looks like a speed contest.]
Ha Eung Eung’s eyes deepened.
She began mental image training in her mind.
Lee So-hye, watching her beside her, waved her hand in front of Ha Eung Eung’s face.
“......”

Ha Eung Eung was completely still.
Her composure almost made Ha Eung Eung feel envious.
‘I think I get it now. This is why this person became so strong.’
She focuses when she needs to, and makes decisions when she has to.
Once she decides, she doesn’t back down easily or give up, and will always achieve what she set out to do.
Her obsession is on a completely different level from ordinary people.
‘What about Ida Hae though?’
At home, Ida Hae had always been a kind, caring sister.
She hated that, which is why she became an Awakened one.
After almost facing a terrible incident, she regretted leaving home, but if she went back, she felt she would never leave again.
A peaceful, serene, suffocating, endless life, just breathing and surviving under the kindness and mercy of her sister.
No matter what she did, she couldn’t help but compare herself to her sister, falling into self-loathing. A life where she would be powerless, offering no help.
‘An ultra-human Silent Swordsman is her opponent, someone even she couldn’t beat.’
If she were family, she would naturally be concerned for her sister’s plight.
Like the Silent Swordsman, who cherished Mark 2, it would show.
But for some reason, Ha Eung Eung felt good.
It was almost like a sense of betrayal.
She was happy at thoughts she shouldn’t embrace.
Ida Hae, always better, kinder, and superior both morally and economically, would lose to someone she chose.
‘Is this why the Voice Girl is in a villain organization?’
Having bad thoughts felt surprisingly good.
“Eh? Wait a second. Look at this.”
[What is it?]
“Unnie started a live stream.”
Ida Hae’s live broadcast on VTube.
Was she doing some special training stream like the Silent Swordsman?
Without showing it, the Silent Swordsman secretly watched in tension.
In front of them.
In front of countless viewers.
Ida Hae finally spoke.
I, I forfeit this match.
“?”
“Eh?”
It was a declaration of surrender.
From Ida Hae’s perspective, it was unbelievable how it turned into a cheat battle.
“Guys, isn’t this Battle Minesweeper?”
Something... something’s different.This isn’t the Battle Minesweeper we know!A legal hacker martial artist!Wow, I’ve never seen someone using cheats in a virtual reality game before.Why is she avoiding mines? Shouldn’t she just step on them and not die? Hahaha.Her movement speed is insane!The mad movie never stops...
The viewers, whose spirits were crushed by the martial artists’ rampage, were now disheartened.
Ida Hae also looked dejected.
“I knew Awakened ones were strong, but she can get this strong?”
It was impossible.
No matter how strong the Battle Minesweeper ruler Ida Hae was, even activating her final weapon wouldn’t help her defeat these insane martial artists flying in the air and engaging in aerial combat.
Even if she raised her attack and defense, her attacks would all miss, while they’d activate their final weapons, destroying the platforms entirely.
Running away?Abandoning Mark 2?Scared?
Knowing Ida Hae, who had a tendency to get easily annoyed, the viewers teased her, but even she wasn’t in the mood for a 100% fight.
“Let’s be honest here. Do you think you can win against that?”
^^;I’m exercising my right to remain silent.Why should we win? We didn’t make a bet.So, are you giving up custody rights?Abandoning Mark 2?
Ida Hae puffed out her cheeks and exhaled loudly, letting out a sigh.
“I’m sorry, Mark 2, but I’ll have to give up becoming a single mom.”
Goodbye.Failed Virgin Mary.Virgin Mary, hahaha.Well, it’s true, she almost had a baby without a man.She’s freed from a life of responsibility without pleasure. Hahaha.Isn’t this actually better?Hahaha, this is the perfect escape plan.No, with Mark 2, you could still be a mom.If it were me, I’d still be a mom.If it’s Mark 2, becoming a mom would be a responsibility without pleasure.Hahaha, turning into the mother of those brutish little brats is a joyless responsibility.What’s the extreme damage?No, you crazy idiots, get out of Ida Hae’s room right now!!What’s the Spladem? Why am I getting hit even though I didn’t say anything? 😭😭😭😭😭
The viewers knew.
Honestly, this battle was pretty unreasonable.
That’s why the backlash was so strong.
If you make a promise, you have to keep it.
That’s an unwritten rule in the VTube world, but even that depends on the promise.
It was honestly absurd to face Silent Swordsman’s cheat-level play, which had shown potential at top-tier streamer levels.
“And in the end, she showed her motherly side. Honestly, I was a little touched. I thought Silent Swordsman was a bad mother who abandoned her child.”
Same.I agree.We didn’t understand Silent Swordsman’s true intentions.It was amazing how Whisper figured it out without her showing it.Bright Swordsman
“Now that I’ve seen how much Silent Swordsman cares for Mark 2, there’s no reason to continue this fight. So, I’ll forfeit.”
Justification matters.
Depending on the justification, the same action can either gain support or provoke backlash.
Ida Hae was good at using such justifications.
Unlike Eom Gil-dong, who was always harassed by opposition and interference, Ida Hae was the opposite.
She was a smart person who understood the weight of her words and actions.
“I do have one request, though.”
Unexpectedly, the surprise attack that followed was very sharp.
“I was thinking of visiting Haenampa with Mark 2 and checking in on my little sister Lee So-hye. Would that be alright?”
????Whoa?Manager is her sister?Lee So-hye Ida Hae, seriously?They even have matching names??Wow, how did I not know this?
Lee So-hye’s expression changed dramatically as she watched the broadcast.
Ha Eung Eung quietly observed her face.
