Chapter 99

Kang Hangeul was trembling in fear right now.

He had done a dance in front of Arang, who was sadly eating a Shiny Morpho without noticing the atmosphere around her.

“Ugh, why did I do that!?”

He had received a message from Pinkubelly saying that Arang was okay and was now in a good mood, smiling, and not to worry. But that wasn’t the problem right now.

The problem was that the image of Arang crying sadly had spread through his broadcast.

In Korea, Arang’s status is beyond imagination.

She has become so famous that anyone playing Leore would know her. Winning against pro player Kim Gi-hyung in the Event Tournament, and then the big incident at the end.

Now, Arang is everyone’s hero and daughter in Leore.

And he made her cry?

Kang Hangeul was the most famous Leore streamer and YouTuber, loved by many.

Whenever a user recognized him, they would always smile and say they were watching his stream, cheering him on, and so on. But after yesterday, things changed.

Every user who recognized him was sending him death glares.

“Arang, please come back to Leore quickly…!”

If more time passes like this, he might even be in danger of losing his life.

“This is bad…”

Arang still hadn’t logged into Leore, and his broadcast time was approaching.

Kang Hangeul never tolerated being late for his stream, but he knew all too well what would happen if he started the broadcast now, so his head started to hurt.

Kang Hangeul closed his eyes tightly and clicked the broadcast start button.

Ding!

About a minute after the broadcast started, Kang Hangeul slowly opened his eyes.

“Huh!?”

Kang Hangeul gasped at the number of viewers he saw first.

23,248.

Over 20,000 viewers had gathered in just one minute.

Considering he usually starts with 3,000-4,000 viewers and reaches 1,000 after an hour, this number was beyond imagination.

– Looking for Leore location to kill the captain.

– Is this the guy who made Arang cry?

‘It’s not just Koreans.’

Foreigners had appeared during the WFK race, but their numbers had decreased after the WFK. But now, looking at the viewer count, there were as many foreigners as Koreans.

“E-everyone, hello.”

Even Kang Hangeul, who had been streaming for so long that he no longer felt nervous, couldn’t help but feel tense in this situation.

Starting with 20,000 viewers and increasing, he knew they weren’t here because they liked him but to find the culprit who made Arang cry.

– Where is Arang?

– Is Arang okay?

– Is this a funeral? lol

– Today is really the last broadcast, huh.

‘There’s no way out of this.’

After a long streaming career, Kang Hangeul realized from the chat’s atmosphere and firepower that he couldn’t solve this alone. All he could do was pray that Arang would quickly log into Leore.

Ding.

[Uncle, what are you doing?]

“Arangaaaaa!!!”

Kang Hangeul quickly opened the friend list to check Arang’s location.

‘Guild House!’

He immediately teleported to Arang’s Guild House and rushed in.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

As Pinkubelly said, Arang was acting as if nothing had happened, her usual self in Leore. Kang Hangeul, with his long-trained body for Leore, did a grand gesture again.

“Oh…”

Arang clapped in admiration at Kang Hangeul’s performance.

“Arang, I’m live right now. Is it okay for you to appear?”

“Of course, it’s fine.”

“I’m really sorry about yesterday, Arang! It’s just that after you logged out crying, everyone was worried.”

“Really? They must have been surprised.”

Arang smiled and moved into the view of the broadcast camera, waving her hand.

“Hello, everyone! I’m fine, so don’t worry!”

– Are you really okay?

– Arang is so cute!

– Arang, is it okay to kill Kang Hangeul?

“Uncle Kang Hangeul did nothing wrong. He really didn’t do anything wrong. I was just being silly and cried. Please don’t attack him!”

– But…

– The captain still deserves it.

“It’s true that he danced in front of me, but it’s not something to get cursed at by so many people. I cried not because of his dance but because I couldn’t control my emotions.”

– Emotional control?

“Yes. Actually—”

Kang Hangeul felt a sense of déjà vu as Arang calmly tried to explain.

‘This isn’t déjà vu!!!’

Realizing it had happened less than a month ago, Kang Hangeul quickly covered Arang’s mouth with his hand.

“Wh-what?”

‘Phew, that was close…!’

If Arang was about to say ‘sa’ with an ‘ng’ sound, she was definitely about to say that word. Timing-wise, it was accurate.

Arang was clearly about to say ‘menstruation.’

There are nearly 30,000 viewers now. That’s definitely not a word to say in front of so many people. Especially not a 15-year-old girl.

– Are you crazy?

– Covering Arang’s mouth? Stealing Arang’s lips?

– What is the captain doing now?

– Are you insane? Do you want to die? Is that it?

– Why is this guy covering Arang’s mouth?

Lick.

“Wh-what are you doing!?”

Kang Hangeul, in the middle of sighing in relief, felt something moist, cold, and soft on his palm and quickly removed his hand.

“I licked your hand because you suddenly covered my mouth.”

“Hey…!”

– You felt Arang’s tongue?

– How dare you?

– I can’t take it anymore. Captain, come to the arena. I’ll just break your neck.

– Kyaaaaaah!

– Give me your neck!

– Give me that hand!

===

I knew Uncle Kang Hangeul was famous, but I didn’t expect nearly 30,000 viewers. I was a bit surprised.

Is this Korea’s top Leore streamer?

Among Uncle Kang Hangeul’s fans, there are many I like too. It’s natural to like him when a young, pretty girl like me appears on his stream.

Plus, after I cried and logged out yesterday, they must be even more worried about me.

So when I tried to explain why I cried yesterday, Uncle quickly covered my mouth.

Uncle whispered to me that I didn’t need to explain and just play as usual, so today I did daily quests with Uncle Kang Hangeul.

Leore’s daily quests are simpler than you think: check in at the guild, run a random dungeon, and finish this season’s random dungeon.

Of course, when we run dungeons, we always match at the same time as our fans, so it’s one-sided.

Earlier in the chat, they were ready to kill Uncle Kang Hangeul, but in the dungeon, they were all just pure and kind fans.

“Oh, right. Did everyone make a fan cafe? I plan to post updates there, so please join if you want.”

– Already joined!

– There’s an Arang fan cafe?

– How do I join the fan cafe?

Half the chat was from foreigners asking how to join.

Can’t foreigners join the YouTuber?

“I’ll think about that part!”

I nodded and naturally glanced at Uncle Kang Hangeul beside me.

Uncle took this chance to shake his head vigorously.

“Arang, don’t worry! Everyone saw, right? I’m this close with Arang.”

Uncle Kang Hangeul clenched his fist and spoke strongly in front of the camera.

– This guy is trying to smell Arang’s tongue.

– Wow, this is insane. Trying to smell Arang’s saliva?

– You guys are the crazy ones for thinking that.

“No, no! Wait a minute! That’s not it!!! Really, it’s not! It happened an hour ago!”

“Uncle, the viewers are really funny.”

“Funny!?”

I nodded. The viewers’ reactions were clearly jealousy.

It’s amazing and satisfying to have someone feel jealous because of me.

“Ah, Uncle, what are you going to do with the Shiny Morpho? Sell it at the auction house or use it as a pet?”

“I’m still thinking. Whether to sell or use it.”

If I sell it for 10 million gold, it’s the second Shiny Morpho in Korea. Wait, isn’t it server-wide now? Then what number would it be?

Then its value might drop a bit. So selling is the right choice. Who knows? With server integration, there are more people with gold, so it might sell for more.

“Uncle, quickly search for Shiny Morpho in the auction house.”

“Huh? Why?”

“With server integration, we can check foreign records, right?”

“Huh? Right. Wait, 31 million gold…?”

“31 million gold!?”

As I expected, it’s much higher than the gold it sold for in Korea. Almost three times.

Looking at the buyer’s nickname, it seems like a Chinese user. As expected, China…!

I’m jealous…! So jealous!!!

This is a bit frustrating. I can’t just let this slide.

I felt a bit jealous of Uncle Kang Hangeul, who was showing a happy smile, so in front of 30,000 viewers, I jumped and hugged him tightly.

‘Eight!’
