“Ugh! Hwaa, this plane is really crappy.”
“Haha, isn’t that normal?”
After sitting in the plane seat for so long, my whole body feels stiff.
“The plane I was on even had a bed.”
“What? That exists?”
“Yeah, you even have to take off your shoes.”
Nella tilted her head, wondering if such a thing really existed.
“Let’s get out of here. It’s suffocating.”
As soon as we stepped outside the airport, the blazing sunlight greeted us directly.
Yet, all I feel is comfort.
—Chik, chik.
“Hoo— Nella.”
“Thanks.”
With a big smile, she took the cigarette I handed her and put it in her mouth.
“Hoo— It’s just as hot here, but why does it feel so refreshing?”
“That place was just pretty, but it was hell. The weather, the bugs—nothing was good.”
“Hah, true. But what about the little one?”
“Here.”
When I opened my pocket, Baekseol was curled up, fast asleep.
“She must be tired from being in the carrier for so long.”
“Poor thing.”
While chatting with Nella and smoking, a man in a black suit approached.
“Welcome to Brisbane!”
“Since when did you become the ambassador for Brisbane?”
“Haha, someone has to welcome you, right?”
His mask covered his entire face, making it impossible to read his expression.
He’s probably grinning creepily.
“I feel like slapping him.”
“Whoa.”
He stepped back in surprise, as if startled.
I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with his antics anymore, but here we are again. What a shame.
“I mentioned that the prize money can be given in any form you prefer… Are you sure cash is fine?”
“Yes. Give it all to me in cash.”
“Hoh. May I ask why?”
“To evade taxes.”
“Oh my!”
He raised both arms, feigning shock again.
He’s so annoying.
“For participant number 666, along with the prize money, there’s an additional seed right…”
“That’s enough.”
“Haha. I’m known for being tight-lipped.”
When I made eye contact with the man, I saw a pair of sparkling blue eyes behind the mask.
If I take the seed right, he’ll help me evade taxes. That’s what he means, I guess.
“Is there another game?”
“Of course.”
“Looks like you’ve got money to spare.”
“Hoho, five million dollars? For an ordinary person, it’s an unimaginably large sum. But you can’t compare individuals to corporations. The difference in scale is like an ant versus a dinosaur. Thanks to the successful event, we’re getting flooded with inquiries from the military and aviation sectors. Compared to that, the prize money is just a bonus.”
Game Master B continued his explanation, gesturing animatedly despite the sweltering heat.
“Participant number 666…”
“It’s Ga-eul. Han Ga-eul.”
“Yes, Miss Ga-eul, I’d like to personally thank you. Thanks to you, we were able to pull this off successfully.”
“Hoo— Is that so?”
“Yes.”
His voice was calm, but it was laced with laughter.
“The cash will be prepared in Canberra. Please visit us there.”
B took out a memo pad and paper, wrote something, and handed it to me.
“Can you deduct a million dollars from the prize money?”
“Of course.”
He answered without hesitation.
“Send that to this friend’s hometown.”
I pointed with my thumb, and Nella stepped forward with a surprised look.
“What are you talking about, Ga-eul? I was only supposed to get a hundred thousand dollars. No, even ten thousand would be enough.”
“If it weren’t for you, I’d have struggled a lot. Is that possible?”
“Of course.”
“No, Ga-eul!”
“Ugh, stop nagging. It’s already decided.”
I don’t care about the prize money; I just want to go back to the rooftop room.
And then I want to chat with the viewers and eat some spicy kimchi stew.
Of course, I don’t plan on eating fish.
It feels like I’ve eaten 10 years’ worth of fish on a deserted island.
“What are you going to do about Nella?”
“Huh?”
Looking at Nella, she’s giggling so much it feels like her cheeks are about to ascend to heaven.
“Are you that happy?”
“Hah. The hard times are over now. Thank you so much, Ga-eul.”
“So, what are you going to do?”
“I’ll go back to my hometown first. And then I’ll talk to my mom.”
“If you ever want to come, just let me know.”
“Thanks, friend. I’ll never forget the grilled fish you made for me on the deserted island.”
Nella, uncharacteristically, starts crying and comes in for a hug.
“Yeah, yeah.”
Even though it’s hot, Nella’s body warmth feels comforting.

“Grandpa!!”
– Yeah, grandpa’s ears aren’t deaf yet.
“There’s a weird kid bothering me!”
-Hmm…
“I even sang the song hard!”
[⚔️Hey, Bangjang, if you say something there, things are gonna blow up.]
[⚔️Lol, I’m out of this now.]

A foreign non-profit group of scientists and a video creator have achieved a dream-like feat by actually implementing a survival game on a deserted island.
The amount they invested is an astronomical sum beyond imagination.
The winner of the game is a beautiful Korean individual who is also active in personal internet broadcasting. After completing immigration, she stepped into the airport, and as reporters waiting there shouted for an interview, she cursed back, saying, “Did I ask for an interview? Shut up if you don’t want to get ****ed.”
The person whose hair was grabbed is a three-term member of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee…
Citizens who saw this called it a performance for re-election, questioning if the chairperson had nothing better to do than bother ordinary people…
The individual suddenly placed her hand on her shoulder, claiming her defense mechanism kicked in, and even subdued a security guard with one hand…
She flatly refused the prize money, saying she wouldn’t take a single penny…

*Rustle*
“Ugh.”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️She’s like a bull.]
[⚔️Really, she’s not taking it?]
*Beep!*
The air in the room felt hot, so I lowered the AC temperature, and Baekseol, who was wriggling above, burrowed into my arms.
“Going to sleep?”
“Sleepy.”
She must’ve gotten lethargic after running around excitedly on the deserted island.
[⚔️Bangjang, did you see the post on the female-dominated cafe?]
“What post?”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️A praise post for Bangjang lol]
I can’t understand why something like that even exists.
I logged into the TripleNet community and pulled up a screenshot posted by viewers, and a photo popped up.
< The Dignified Image of a Modern Woman, Han Ga-eul >
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
[⚔️Holy ****, what the ****!!]
[⚔️Cancel that! Cancel that!]
[⚔️Our Bangjang is drunk, haha.]
[⚔️Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.]
[⚔️Protect Bangjang!!!]
*Buzz*
“Wait, I think the food’s here.”
I went up to the rooftop and opened the iron door, and the food I ordered had arrived.
“Ta-da.”
[⚔️What is it?]
“Kimchi stew. Let’s eat this while we watch.”
Both Baekseol and I have no energy left in our bodies.
I never knew just running the AC and doing a broadcast could make me this happy.

Following the previous news, seven members of the National Assembly have unusually strongly criticized the situation.
These individuals, known for their heavy influence, share one common trait: they are all former military generals.
They have served as field commanders, high military court judges, and more…
It has emerged…
There are reports that even within the barracks of the Samjeong Operational Command, which leads our nation’s maximum military power, voices of dissatisfaction are boiling over.

[⚔️Lol, idol military president military trimmer kekeke]
[⚔️Wow, that’s terrifying]
“Hmm. Why though?”
[⚔️Why? It’s because you messed with the Sergeant Major grandpa]
“Ah, right.”
[⚔️Is it okay for the military to meddle in politics?]
[⚔️Of all people, they had to mess with the general’s favorite, that’s why this mess happened lol]
[⚔️Looks like they contacted the juniors lol]
Slurp.
“Mmm, the tofu is delicious.”
[⚔️Lololololol]
[⚔️Looks like she doesn’t care at all lol]
The soft tofu melts smoothly in the mouth.
It feels like returning to normal life after a dream-like time.
“Guys, check out the ham.”
[⚔️Wow]
[⚔️What ham in kimchi stew?]
“It’s army kimchi stew.”
Placing a plump ham on top of steaming white rice and putting it in the mouth,
“Mmm!”
Happiness.
As the ham touches the teeth, it pops and bursts.
Slurp.
When it feels dry, sipping the broth adds another layer of flavor.
Sizzle!
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
The cola goes down the throat.
The tingling sensation turns into refreshment.
“Ahhh.”
[⚔️Please stop lololol]
[⚔️Ga-eul is so cute lol]
Goodbye forever to the coconut that doesn’t even taste like anything.
“I’m happy!”
[⚔️Lol so cute]

The woman logged onto the internet to confirm what the man in front of her had said.
“Please wait a moment.”
“Yes.”

Age: 21
An internet broadcaster active on Triple Net, using her real name as her broadcast nickname.

Her specialty is rolling on a ball and performing acrobatics.

[Viewer Characteristics]
Due to the Room Master’s unique behavior, her fandom is also quite unique.
Most viewers follow the saying, “If you can’t have it, avoid it.”
The Demon Realm’s notorious tyrant.
Recently, at the Samjeong Operational Command, they sang on stage at the request of an acquaintance (aka Sergeant Major Grandfather). This led to a new fandom of soldiers joining.
Despite their reputation for being extreme to the point of being vicious, they adore the Room Master.
Usually, it’s the streamers who clean up after their messes and apologize, but here, it’s the opposite.
When the Room Master causes trouble, they step in to clean up, performing what’s known as the “Fantastic Butt Show.”
Perhaps because of this unique and loyal fanbase, other streamers avoid mentioning the Room Master’s name to avoid any backlash.
The fandom name, “My Baby Squad,” comes from the Room Master’s catchphrase.
───
[Streamer Relationships]
1. They are friends with streamer Eun-A.
a. Eun-A uploaded a song they sang together during a collaboration to her B-tube, and it has now reached 7.8 million views and is still climbing rapidly.

[Overall]
They’re the queen of the scorned and downtrodden.
They could easily be called the leader of the weak and wicked, so it’s best not to provoke them.
However, they’re completely unaware of this, so they walk around without a care.
Their delicate and beautiful appearance often attracts trouble, and they’re constantly updating their list of incidents.

The woman who read through the character wiki was utterly baffled.
Despite a lifetime of observing people, she had never encountered such a specimen.
After much deliberation, the woman asked a fundamental question:
“Is this person a good person?”
“Haha, well…”
The man’s ambiguous answer was followed by silence.
The woman waited, hoping for more, but the man remained silent.
Just as she was about to speak, the man’s voice softly emerged:
“Maybe, to someone, they are a good person?”

Ding!
“Let’s go!”
“Exciting!”
