Let’s go right now!

[Comments]

-?????

-Why is this not a bait?

-Wow, is it really happening? This is crazy.

-It took way too longㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Live before even arriving in Korea? Talk about managing public sentiment, amazing.

-Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? I lost 1 minute.

-Name has started running… Name is smiling…

-I wonder how many people will gather.

-How many achievements are there now? It should be at least 50,000, right?

-Friday morning could be tough. I have to go to work.

-Ah, 50,000 will easily happen; I even expect up to 100,000.

-For real, all the recent Twish viewers who joined in the last 1-2 years are subscribers of Name.

-The combination of games and kids is truly invincible!

All major communities started buzzing with news of Name’s comeback.

On a regular day, the average viewers would range from 20,000 to 30,000, but hearing the rumors, everyone gathered at Name’s broadcasting studio.

Name’s name was trending across various platforms.

Everyone was curious about what she would talk about in the broadcast.

Life in the US? A story about meeting the presidents of both countries? Impressions about the Fields Medal? Future broadcast plans?

Anything would be fine.

After all, these were all stories only Name could share.

Despite the busy commuting hour, 5,000 loyal fans rushed in.

Name adjusted the broadcasting camera to closely focus on the airplane window as the plane took off.

The view of Boston Logan International Airport and the city unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

The winding Massachusetts coastline touching the Atlantic faded into the distance as the airplane soared high above the clouds.

The camera shook briefly before the small window grew smaller and smaller.

The view from the first-class seats, which had four windows in a row, came into the frame.

In the middle of the spacious seat sat a child covered with a blanket.

The most famous 43-year-old child on Earth, Noname.

Chat messages flooded in so quickly that the window momentarily froze.

-Wowwwww

-Name Name Name Name~

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Congratulations on your comeback!!!

-Wow, finally Nameㅠㅠㅠㅠ My joy in life has returned.

-So cute, what’s with this? lol

-One, two! I found Name!!!

-I’ve found you…? I’ve found you…? I’ve found you…?

-Kya, this is adorable~

-I’ve been waiting for your broadcast, Nameㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Heart-fluttering from the start…!

-As expected, you came to save us, Name.

Name waved at the numerous viewers welcoming her.

The viewers bombarded her with ‘hello’ emoticons.

-Open donations too!

-Already changed into pajamas, hehe.

-Wow, first-class looks amazing, haha.

-The space really is wide. Two Names could sit side by side.

-The world is getting so much better. You can broadcast from an airplane now.

-Huh, but I can’t hear anything?

-Sounds like a mic issue.

However, this was a significant misunderstanding of Name’s intentions by the viewers.

“Ahhh.”

Name blew warm air onto the airplane window.

Using her little finger, she scratched letters onto the fogged glass.

She used it as a notepad to communicate her thoughts to the viewers.

[Good Night]

-Just chatting (Mic OFF)

-W… what is this…

-This is a familiar ant-hunting scene.

-Only loyal fans should remain, lol.

-Ohhhhhh!

-Get rid of the influx.

“Cooool…”

30 minutes into the sleeping broadcast.

Name started to stir for the first time.

The viewers who thought she would just take a quick nap now held onto hope.

However, Name did not move and continued to cuddle the blanket.

1 hour into the sleeping broadcast.

Name stuck out her pink tongue and smacked her lips.

The previously quiet chatroom erupted once more, and viewers who missed this scene expressed their frustration.

2 hours into the sleeping broadcast.

With each breath, her small, flat chest inflated and deflated.

Name shifted position again and turned her body towards the camera.

Her long eyelashes fluttered before settling back into calmness.

4 hours into the sleeping broadcast.

Name raised her hand to rub her face.

It seemed like she might wake up, but once again, she stayed still.

Instead, she waved her arms in the air, her little hands wiggling aimlessly.

6 hours into the sleeping broadcast, around 2 PM Korea time, Name finally woke up.

With blurry eyes, she stared blankly at the camera.

“Um…”

Waking up took Name a surprisingly long time.

She roughly combed her messy hair with her fingers to tidy it up.

She took out a hair tie from the drawer and tied her hair into twin tails as usual.

With both hands, she slapped her cheeks to chase away sleepiness and greeted the patiently waiting viewers.

[NoName]

[Just Chatting – On the way to Korea (Voice X)]

[Broadcast Time – 6:08:22]

[Number of Viewers – 78092]

“Hmm? Is this broken?”

Upon closely examining the unclear number 7892, there was a zero hidden in between.

I rubbed my eyes and checked again, but nothing changed.

‘How can 80,000 people be watching a sleeping broadcast?’

It’s been nearly half a year since the last broadcast.

To prevent any distractions, I was thoroughly prepared to do ant-hunting today.

Yet, instead of declining, the viewers were still continuously increasing in real-time.

Stretching, I once again breathed onto the window to write a message.

[^O^]

-Translation: Name slept well!

-^O^

-What are you even saying, lol?

-I didn’t expect a 6-hour deep sleep.

-Wasn’t the original purpose of the sleeping broadcast to earn money? Why block donations now!

-Phew, I’m glad you feel good!

-How about experiencing holograms, just like a civilized person, teacher?

Oh, holograms?

I had completely forgotten about the wonders of modern civilization.

Fortunately, the airplane seat had a hologram projector kit available.

I turned on my white notepad and synced it with Twish, which boasted incredible compatibility.

“Hello. Please understand that voice output is not available on the airplane.”

-Yes, of course!

-Of course!

-Yes, yes, teacher!

-We must maintain etiquette.

The viewers diligently followed my words.

This felt exactly like being a kindergarten teacher.

And now I was leading a legion of 80,000, no, 90,000 children…

“I dozed off because I was very tired from staying up all night. I’m glad to be able to broadcast with you all after such a long time. I’m looking forward to having a fun time interacting with everyone.”

-I just dozed off (making my seat into a bed while covering myself with a blanket)

-For real, this is infuriating, lol.

-She looked like an angel while sleeping, how come?

-Six hours wasted on a comeback broadcast?

-Can’t help staying up all night, haha.

-This is a communication broadcast, but I can’t hear you, teacher!

-Yes~ I’ve fixed it~

With so many people, even if I had donations open, expecting smooth communication was unlikely.

I decided to check which game apps were included in the hologram device.

I hoped to find some online games.

Chess caught my attention.

“How about chess, everyone?”

-Does Name know how to play chess? Whoa!

-Wow, I’m looking forward to this, lol.

-Aren’t you a pro?

“I only know the rules and how to move pieces in chess.”

-You’re just going to win anyway, right?

-No, knowing how to play chess doesn’t mean you play well.

-I’m always ready to challenge you.

-Is this the last chance to beat NoName?

The reaction was great, and it seemed like a good way to kill time.

[ChessBattle]

I quickly logged into the chess app and created an account.

[NoName Participation(**)]

Then, I opened a room for viewer participation and set a two-digit random password.

[NoName(400)]

[JustLikeNong(2259)]

The opponent’s score is pretty high.

[JustLikeNong: Nice to meet you, Name! hehe]

I had picked up a few strategies from my past life, so imitated how others played, moving my pawns, knights, and bishops in turn.

The viewer playing black suddenly gave me two pawns for free consecutively.

“Accident…?”

[NoName: Please don’t go easy on me.]

[JustLikeNong: I’m playing properly, haha.]

While being somewhat entranced, I moved the pieces until I unexpectedly reached checkmate.

“Oh?”

[YOU LOSE!]

I was checkmated in just seven moves.

I couldn’t help but bite my nails and stare at the grim results.

-Wow, lol.

-Is the game already having a meltdown? lol.

-That opponent is seriously pro, haha.

-Don’t go easy on Name, for real, lol.

-The world of competition is ruthless.

-That person is a chess master in the top 0.04%.

-I barely even got to play before it ended.

-Justice will prevail, tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Seeing the viewers rejoicing made my stomach churn.

I hate losing in games.

I immediately searched for chess principles on Tree Wiki and began studying them quickly.

“Don’t move the same piece twice in the opening. Avoid exchanging developed pieces with undeveloped ones. Fork, pin, skewer, discovered attack, zugzwang.”

I jotted down everything I could in my notepad.

-Name is genuinely angry right now, lol.

-How is she so cute?

-Please go easy on her against a child!

-Who suggested playing chess!

-It’s time to thoroughly read Tree Wiki.

I watched chess streamer Vtuber videos to understand their thought processes.

And I learned that chess involves strategy and tactics.

Strategy involves understanding the overall state of the chessboard, while tactics are about taking short-term gains.

Even if I couldn’t recognize the state well, can’t I just calculate as far as my head allows?

As long as there’s a time limit, I’d definitely have the advantage.

“Anyone is welcome!”

I confidently called the viewers again.

[NoName(399)]

[Wakyapya(1220)]

The opponent’s score seemed low enough to give it a shot.

This time, I played white and carefully moved my pieces.

In the early game, I calculated at least three to four moves, and from the mid-game, at least seven moves ahead.

Suddenly, the mistakes from the viewers became vivid.

“I’ve won this game. Do you see the six moves leading to checkmate from here?”

Like the streamer I watched earlier, I demonstrated some showmanship with a ‘reservation move.’

The pieces moved on their own, and in the end, it announced checkmate.

[YOU WIN!]

Of course, it was my victory.

-??? I can’t see, how did you do that?

-Improved skills in just 15 minutes, lol.

-The rating difference is three times, yet you win?

-NoName! NoName! NoName!

-Wow, amazing!

-This is talent, you fools~.

-Calculating the moves is truly astonishing, seriously, lol.

-Where do you see a beginner?

-I’m removing chess after watching this.

-Talent is scary.

“That was easy.”

I shouldn’t be the challenger.

I must be in a position to receive challenges.

Many challengers came knocking at the Demon Lord’s castle, and I cut them down from the entrance.

“Qxd5 checkmate.”

[NoName(418) vs slavesaga(945)] – WIN

“Ra1 checkmate.”

[NoName(445) vs dmswlsla(1418)] – WIN

“Rxg5 check Kxg5, Rg2 check Kh6, Qh4 check Rh5, Bd2 check Kh7, Qxh5 checkmate.”

[NoName(475) vs whatthehello(1736)] – WIN

After about an hour of enjoying myself…

My head started to throb, so I decided to stop playing chess.

I stretched my arms and legs for ten seconds.

I hope I grow to 170 cm this way.

“Ahhh! Haaah.”

At that moment, my stomach growled.

I startled and glanced at the chat, but the viewers seemed confused, stacking up question marks.

‘Oh, I turned off the voice. Thank goodness.’

Playing a mentally taxing game tends to consume a lot of calories.

I gently rubbed my belly and wrote on the hologram.

“I skipped dinner and ended up going to sleep, so I’m a little hungry now. It’s still far until breakfast.”

Meals are served according to US time.

In Boston time, it would be around 1 AM; since the plane would arrive before that, I wouldn’t even be able to have breakfast.

-First class can order meals at any time, right?

-Try asking the flight attendants!

-Yeah, you can definitely have a meal. No need to feel shy.

-You’re hungry since you skipped dinnerㅠㅠ.

-Lol, isn’t this your first food broadcast on Noname?

I squinted one eye and doubted the viewers’ claims.

Many insisted you had to take off your shoes when boarding a plane; I should not fall for things like this.

I searched the internet to check two or three times.

“Wait, is it true…?”

-Lol.

-Did you think we were messing with you? Haha.

-Seriously, it seems to be true, haha.

-Name is so cute, hehe.

I cautiously called over a flight attendant and asked for the dinner I couldn’t eat earlier. She set up a table and laid a cloth over it.

They served salmon salad and foie gras terrine with bread for dinner.

It seemed to be served in courses.

I also asked for the main dish, and they immediately brought out French-style beef stew.

“Excuse me, what you’re looking at is the alcoholic beverage menu…!”

“Oh? Uh, yes.”

“For young guests, we have orange juice and grape juice available. Which would you like?”

“I’ll have grape juice… Ah, could I please have it in a wine glass…?”

“Uh, um… Yes, I understand! I’ll prepare it right away!”

The flight attendant made a complicated face but graciously, no, reluctantly honored my request.

I wanted to feel good somehow.

I raised my glass filled with grape juice, smelling the sweet and slightly bitter fragrance, and made a toast towards the camera.

“Cheers.”
