Chapter 45

Through Biscoordinates, a message inquiring about my well-being came from Wilde and Victory.

The more impressive part was Victory’s offer to help with medical expenses if any problems arose.

Do you really think about me that much?

I’ve heard rumors about his annual salary reaching hundreds of billions.

Even so, it’s highly unlikely that someone would readily offer help to just anyone.

‘Some caution is in order here.’

Who knows, maybe he’s an upper-class water buffalo who fell in love just by hearing my voice.

Although it’s kind of him to offer help.

It’s kind, but too many people in the past have approached me under similar pretenses.

‘Hmm, so I’m not sick. But they did hear some groaning sounds…’

Seol Ah, 23 years old.

The woman who released groaning sounds in front of 90,000 people (NEW!).

My head begins to hurt.

Wait? Why is that?

It’s definitely not something I would be embarrassed about in front of my family.

But lately, things that make me cringe just keep happening.

If I continue this way, I might never be able to explain what I do on this broadcast for the rest of my life.

Even though I was partially responsible for the indecent materials distribution incident, I might admit to around 30 percent responsibility.

No, this feels a bit excessive.

Let’s compromise at 20%? Or 15%?

Anyway, I didn’t do anything wrong this time!

Is it wrong to drink caffeinated drinks to combat fatigue?

I know I should have been mindful that my 36kg body was only half of what’s average.

I understand that a single serving for others tends to be too much for me.

Still, it feels unfair!

How were they supposed to know that drinking just one can would land me in the ER?

‘This won’t do. I need to set up another puppet.’

Broadcasting myself directly has become too mentally exhausting.

I need to set up a second puppet.

Thus, I decided.

[Author: Jeon Jeonseol] [Title: Jeon Seol When Will You Return :(( ]

[Are you healthy? Please let us know even if you don’t turn on the broadcast]

-[Always talking about the girl and moaning, how could they come]

-[I would stop broadcasting too if it were me]

-[No, you cannot take away my country, you cannot take away Jeon Jeonseol]

-[If you see the gallery’s status, it’s really pathetic, don’t you think he shouldn’t start?]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Oh damn, legal notice from the gallery owner(Y)]

[(A captioned video saying “Let’s lure other kids to take the fall”)]

-[Ah s*, I really believed it for a moment]

-[Have you sinned? If so, accept your punishment]

-[As long as it’s not me, I’m fine. lol lol lol lol]

-[Why is it really fake? I’m disappointed]

-[I want to see the original post]

[Author: Legendary Voice] [Title: Jeon Jeonseol, Turn on the Broadcast]

[Shouldn’t you continue the challenge?]

-[He said he’s sick, let him rest.]

-[Why don’t you tell us the reason you were taken to the hospital?]

-[I don’t know, but if it’s bad enough to be rushed to the hospital, it’s probably serious]

-[Is he truly sick? They’ve exaggerated too many times]

-[This time feels real. If it’s staged, they should win all the acting awards]

-[Are they the boy who cried wolf? Due to too much exaggeration, I can’t believe them even when they’re sick]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Why doesn’t this woman have any communication channels?]

-[No email on the channel. This woman is insane?]

-[Are you really a broadcaster?]

-[Post some sort of announcement ㅅㅂ]

-[She’s a noob?]

-[With 90k viewers, how can she be a noob?]

-[She’s grown big off Victory Wilde]

-[She’s really leeching off them]

-[If she progresses a bit more, the fandom for Jeon might surpass Victory’s]

-[Isn’t that an exaggeration? Victory is undefeated in tournaments]

-[Info: Jeon has never lost in Teamfight Arena]

-[What?]

-[Her stats show she hasn’t lost in regular or ranked games]

-[That sounds ridiculous. How could someone reach Master rank without losing?]

-[Yet, it’s true]

-[Her stats pop up within a second. Why would she exaggerate?]

-[It’s true ㅁㅊ]

[Author: Anonymous] [Title: Why is this crazy woman doing this alone without turning on the broadcast?]

-[Why not turning on the broadcast while doing this alone!!! Are you insane????

Challenge King, turn on the broadcast!]

-[She probably doesn’t want to broadcast after being complimented about her moans. She went hard with “one shot” and had a seizure]

-[The seizure was a bit much]

-[After saying “one shot,” it’s clear she’s not in her right mind]

-[Has online broadcasting culture gone too far?]

-[For regular people, “your moans are pretty” is already enough to make them turn off]

-[She might have stopped broadcasting because of excessive sexual harassment?]

-[No!!!]

-[The gallery owner’s broadcast is my entire life]

-[Oh, I thought she didn’t turn on the broadcast because she was sick, but since she’s playing games, my hopes are shattered]

-[Really]

-[I miss Jeon Jeonseol…]

[Author: Jeon Jeonseol] [Title: From now on, I will file a unified complaint against every sexual harassment comment when they appear]

-[Did you know that you can file a report for obscene use of telecommunication media even if you’re not the victim?

I’ll settle all scores until Jeon’s return]

This person is mistaken.

Even though it’s correct that others can report cases of obscene telecommunication use, the determination of sexual humiliation is highly subjective. Thus, investigating authorities always confirm the victim’s intention to punish.

If the victim says it’s okay, there’s no reason to waste resources on an unnecessary investigation.

Legally it isn’t so, but practically speaking, it falls under a crime of no prosecution without consent by the victim.

In conclusion, the call went to Seol Ah once again.

“Are you there? This is about obscene telecommunication, right? But I’m innocent! I’m the victim, right? Oh, I see.”

It was an embarrassing situation.

Seol Ah thought it over.

Sexual harassment, sure, it’s annoying.

But treating it as a sexual crime and ruining lives seems a bit off.

What if this ruined life causes the person to lash out with a knife or something?

It’s a really chaotic era.

I don’t want to create enemies to the death for things like this.

‘If the fine was around 100 to 200, I would probably report it.’

Even the victim found the punishment burdensome. It made Seol Ah ponder that severe punishment isn’t always better.

Based on past experiences, a victim’s report doesn’t always settle the matter easily.

Either way, it was creating more stress, so she decided just to let it go.

Even though the complaint ultimately fizzled out, it wasn’t entirely ineffective.

The potential wrongdoers, feeling the pressure of frequent reporting by gallery users, started to self-regulate.

Thus, the self-correcting mechanism of the Teamfight Arena Gallery succeeded.

Even though Seol Ah was indifferent and didn’t even look at the gallery or notice these incidents,

‘I will protect Big Sister Legend! Watch me fight for you, sister!’

There was such a struggle.

As a celebration for the completion of the puppet, the broadcast was turned on.

[Title: Virtual Streamer Debut!]

A commercially contracted Live 2D Virtual Model.

When monitoring my own broadcasts, it felt a bit empty since there wasn’t much that could be called “me.”

So, I bought one.

A Live 2D Virtual Model.

And I decided on this approach:

I will act as this character.

The separation of the streaming character from myself.

[Your Majesty]

<hello hello>

[Seol Ah, where have you been? Sob]

[Why don’t you broadcast and just play games, you tenacious one]

[Do you like to see me go crazy???]

“It’s just two rounds of games. What’s the issue?”

A week since the visit to the emergency room.

During the time it took for the Live 2D model to be completed, I decided to take a break from broadcasting.

Too much free time made me bored, so I played some games.

But it felt empty without broadcasting.

I’ve become accustomed to this chat window already, it seems.

[Wow, a VTuber!]

[It’s very promising]

[No. Not another shitty VTuber. Please don’t let it be that!]

[Another “great gamer” saying goodbye]

[Will this fit the frail cutie Seol Ah who often falls ill?]

It seems the virtual model creates a divide between those who like it and those who don’t.

Anyway, it’s a necessary measure to separate myself from the broadcast, so bear it.

I used my phone for motion tracking and publicly debuted my virtual model on the broadcast.

[Is this a VTuber?]

[Virtual streamer]

[LOL]

[What, was I wrong to expect something better from this person?]

[Whew, I almost couldn’t handle it if this were just a typical otaku avatar]

[Squee! Where did the cute girl avatar go?]

“Hello. This is Jeon Jeonseol.”

The virtual model I contracted is a jellyfish.

It features dot eyes, a simple line for a mouth, a large blue head, and many tentacles.

Hmm. A character like this will probably prevent inappropriate thoughts.

It’s a solution to force the viewers into being virtuous.

If anyone can find this charming, they deserve recognition.

[Perhaps she’s a female otaku who loves magical girls and tentacle creatures?]

[Rational doubts]

[What a suspicious choice picking a jellyfish]

“What are you saying, you crazy people?”

[Are you hurt by these accusations? Maybe?]

[Strong denial indicates strong affirmation]

‘Looking at these people now, they’re just spouting off whatever comes to mind. It feels foolish to respond to each comment. Let’s end it here.’

[The jellyfish gets kinda cute when you look at it]

[Can anyone actually afford to buy something like this?]

[Eh, lol. Surely she pirated a free model]

“I paid for this. The copyright of this model belongs to me.”

[Always bragging about her wealth, yet using it so creatively]

[The thousand won I donated to her feels wasteful now…]

[??? : Do not donate (serious)]

[Seol Ah is funny!]

“Shall we go back to the challenge then?”

Today I’m really determined.
