Chapter 485

**Crunch crunch-**

I carefully cut my bangs to match the line of my eyelashes while looking in the mirror.

I threw my hair back over my shoulders and estimated the length visually.

Hair that exceeded the line of my knees was sharply sliced off in a straight line by the aura surrounding my fingertips.

“I’ll wash up quickly.”

I ran to the bathroom, poured some shampoo into the sink, and soaked my hair.

After washing my face, I returned to my room and greeted the viewers with a neat appearance.

“What do you think?”

– Your skills are top-notch, teacher!

– Even hairdressers don’t cut their own hair, right?

– So cute!!!

– Aren’t you doing a hime cut today?

– It’s still too long even after cutting it, lol.

– Teacher, my legs are shaking…!

[‘You A-Ni’ donated 5,000 won!]

– So how did you really win?

I showed the viewers that I was cutting my own hair, but they seemed utterly uninterested.

I burrowed back under my blanket.

[‘Millennium’ donated 5,000 won!]

– Oppa, do I look any different?

[‘mmuumm’ donated 5,000 won!]

– Cutting bangs by 0.5 cm and the back by 2 cm makes you look really strong, teacher. It’s like Eun Gan-u Junior, and my hands and feet are shaking.

“Oh, really? I didn’t intend to look strong, though. Thank you, hehehe.”

– Why is this the right answer, lol?

– This is seriously hilarious, lol.

– Eun Gan-u Junior is bald!

– I just can’t understand the world of kids…

– Child (x), Unspecified (o)

I leaned back against the bed.

The blanket just covered my legs as I grabbed the camera.

“Last night, I checked the community for a moment before going to sleep. I can’t understand why everyone is talking as if I lost even though the results haven’t been announced yet. The worst part is those who take the opportunity to insult me.”

– Don’t look at the Na-Me-ya communityㅠㅠㅠ

– There were so many kids speculating about expressions from Instagram photos, lol.

– You can definitely capture that kind of expression at a moment like that.

– When you think about it, there’s a reason why being an idol is such an extreme job.

– Just ignore them, Na-Me.

“Shall we take a look at this post? ‘I wish they would fix just one thing about No Na-Me; everything else is great.’ What could this person possibly be dissatisfied with? If it seems reasonable when I hear it, I’ll try to fix it.”

I clicked on the post while puffing my lips.

[No Na-Me is great, but I wish they would fix just one thing.]

[The heart broken by Na-Bho ♥]

“Ah… this might be a bit difficult…”

– Hahahahaha

– It was a junk post, lol.

– Of all things to choose, lol.

– Complaining is also an art.

– No Na-Me seemed flustered, lol.

“It’s because of Instagram? Oh, did Love unnie post a picture on Instagram?”

Only then did I understand the source of the rumors.

“Should I call this an explanation? I was just a bit tired at that time. Look, I have half-closed eyes. But I was super hungry, so I forced myself to go to the restaurant.”

After that, we continued with small talk.

We started discussing the training facility and then drifted back to Love Kim.

“Love unnie was incredibly strong. Among the people I’ve fought, I believe she’s the strongest. Yes, for sure, she was stronger than the people from Phillips Academy. I’ve only trained with Emika, so I’ve never fought her. I think she has a lot of potential to get even stronger, and I don’t think she’ll have any problem getting through to the top 64.”

– But No Na-Me defeated that Love Kim!

– I’m really curious about the match!

– Please share more details!

– How on earth did you win?

Knock knock knock—

I quickly covered the broadcast screen and got up.

“Yes, who is it?”

“It’s me!”

Hearing Love Kim’s voice, I opened the door wide.

She was holding something piled up in both hands.

“What do you have in your hands?”

“Hehe, I brought some buffet breakfast! For you, Na-Me. I know you hate coming down. Want to eat together?”

“Thank you. But I’m currently live streaming—”

“Oh, really? Can I join in too?”

“I don’t mind, but are you okay with that, unnie?”

“Of course! Wow, I can’t believe I’ll be appearing on Na-Me’s stream!”

With excitement, she stepped into the room.

She pulled out a black plastic bag that you often see at traditional markets from the bag and revealed its contents.

Surprisingly, it was a colorful assortment of egg muffins, chocolate croissants, maple syrup pancakes, and tropical fruits.

As Love looked around the bedroom, she found the camera and smiled brightly.

She whispered in a soft voice.

“Make way for the great Na-Me.”

– ???

– Ah, lol.

– The whole world belongs to Na-Me…

– It’s really Kim Love, whoa.

– Na-Me is taking over the world.

– Make way for the great Na-Me.

– Is it time for more worship? Damn it?

“What are you doing, unnie?”

“Hehe, the viewers are so funny!”

“Oh, that egg tart looks delicious. I’ll enjoy it.”

“Na-Me, eat comfortably! And let’s drop the formalities; it’s weird…!”

“Okay.”

I held the egg tart with both hands and took a small bite.

**Chew chew-**

There were uneven teeth marks on the egg tart.

Love grabbed the camera and attempted a close-up shot from under her chin.

I glanced at the camera and covered my face with my hand.

“Ah, please don’t. It’s embarrassing. I’m still eating.”

– Thank youㅠㅠ Thank youㅠㅠ

– Stomach ache, lol.

– Na-Me, you have yellow on your mouth, hehe.

– From today on, any attacks on Kim Love will be considered an attack on me.

[‘4Ranghae’ donated 5,000 won!]

– The egg tart is massive, lol. I thought it was a hamburger.

“Oh, it’s not big at all, everyone! Look at this.”

Love picked up an egg tart from the bag with her fingers.

It fit perfectly in her palm.

“With this size, it should fit in one bite. Om nom.”

– ?????

– What kind of optical illusion is this?

– Wait, what?

– Is it different from earlier?

As Love opened her mouth wide and finished the egg tart in one bite, I was amazed.

Wow, she managed to fit that all in.

While I was staring in wonder, Love gestured for me to sit.

“Na-Me, sit down and eat.”

“There’s only one chair. I’m fine standing up.”

“Sit on my lap.”

Without waiting for my response, Love grabbed me by the armpits and lifted me onto her lap.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

“No! It’s great!”

And she posed a peace sign for the camera.

Perhaps because we were on air, she seemed extra high-spirited today.

**Squeeze squeeze—**

She poked my cheeks with her fingers like last time.

But it was alright.

Because today she brought food.

If someone is receiving something, they should also be giving something in return.

What a socially aware action this is.

– I’m so envious, so envious, so envious.

– Kim Love is undoubtedly on Na-Me’s side, lol.

– Is this really how your selfishness is fulfilled?

– Is Na-Me’s cheek soft?

– The height difference while sitting is thrilling, Love unnie!!!

“Na-Me, why did you only eat one bite of everything?”

“I want to taste everything. The bread is so delicious.”

“Ahh, about that. Na-Me, but this looks like it was gnawed by a mouse. Guys, take a look.”

“Eh?”

“No, just ignore it and eat a lot, my baby Na-Me.”

“What are you saying? Have you seen such a big baby?”

Love pointed to the food.

– The extreme one-bite monster, lol.

– I feel like I’ve seen that in a documentary!

└ Cookie cutter shark? lol.

└ Haha.

└ I almost said it has a similar personality.

– Who’s going to eat what’s left, Na-Me?

– TreeWiki/NoNaMe/Controversy.

– Please throw it into my mouth.

“Oh, so this is how controversies arise. But it’s fine! I, Kim Love, will clean up the food waste.”

She stuffed the leftovers I had taken a bite of into her mouth.

Endless carbs.

“Unnie, did you not eat breakfast?”

“Ugh? Gulp. No, I had five plates.”

“Ahh…”

This friend is an enormous eater.

I thought it must be nice to be able to eat so much.

Having taken care of breakfast, I asked Love about her schedule.

I’m leaving soon, but Love has to continue living in this prison.

“Today is completely free. It’s the first time I’m having consecutive matches, you see.”

“That’s true. Rest is important too.”

“So, Na-Me, can you please stay a little longer? I’ll be lonely.”

I nodded.

Since I mentioned just doing a laid-back stream.

Once I lay on the bed, Love followed suit and lay next to me.

“Um um, Na-Me, people have been asking for the match story since a while ago.”

“I can do it if you want. I was unable to because of you, unnie.”

“Why?”

“Because I was afraid your power would leak.”

“Wahhh! Na-Me, you’re such a good child! Come here, you cute little thing!”

Suddenly, Love spread her arms and legs wide, wrapping around my body tightly.

“Do you think I’m unaware that you’re sneakily fulfilling your selfish desires?”

“Uh, you caught me! If you let me rub against you just this once, I swear I won’t do it again next time.”

I shot her a suspicious glare.

Love looked at me with her big, shiny cat-like eyes.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like a lie.

Reluctantly, I consented, and she pressed her cheek against mine until it rubbed raw.

“… Is it over?”

“Whoo! I feel 100 times stronger than before. This is called Na-Me therapy. If you want to experience it too, you need to be selected as a national representative like me!”

– It sounds like you have a lot of grievances, Love!

– What did you do to get 60 slaps during the match?

“Ah, but you shouldn’t misunderstand; I didn’t entirely overpower Love. In reality, during the fight, I had a 30-30 barrier against her power, and she went almost to the brink of mana depletion.”

“Hey, don’t make excuses like that. I just lost.”

“You did well in the second match.”

“Wasn’t it 30 to 9?”

“No, it was 27 to 9.”

“But hold on, we were pretty even until the last moment, right?”

“Yeah, Glakis Fest is also a 4-circle one. It makes sense that the combined Black Aurora would drop by 20%.”

“Na-Me…! Is it fine for you to just say magic names? Is it okay?”

“There are so many types of magic in the world. I’d be better off analyzing others than wasting time analyzing you.”

– Whoa.

– Coaches who were secretly eavesdropping are startled!

– Na-Me, analyzing is a waste of time, just step back!

– The more I see Kim Love, the more I like her.

[‘Biyori’ donated 10,000 won!]

– Are you willing to share the match video later?

“After the national exchange match…?”

“If I lose and Na-Me goes up, I’ll release it!”

“Wah, how shameless.”

“Just kidding, hehehe.”

– Hahahaha.

– I hope you two meet in the finals, please!

– If only it can happen, I wouldn’t want anything more.

– A battle between Koreans is so thrilling!

“Anyway, I learned a lot from Na-Me. The coaches said they got really meaningful combat data. Honestly, though, I want to fight Na-Me more during the camp.”

“That’s not good. If it’s just me, unnie might develop bad habits. Just like this time, one or two times is appropriate.”

“That might be true.”

– ??? Why?

– Isn’t it good to practice while fighting together?

– Bad habits?

I kindly explained to the viewers.

“Since I engage in psychological warfare a lot, I often deviate from the norm during operations. What’s the established formula in a match? Until 50%, don’t spare your mana and pressure your opponent. From 50% to 20%, conserve your own mana and exhaust your opponent’s health. That’s generally correct, but it doesn’t apply to every situation.”

“Yeah, that’s why I got completely stuck in the first set.”

“However, what’s truly remarkable about you, Love unnie, is that your mana is incredibly strong, right? Plus, you use your strength so effectively. There’s almost no wasted mana, your virtual center of gravity is always at a critical radius, and even if you’re shook a little, your recovery moves are fast and creative.”

“How do you know my critical radius, Na-Me?”

“It’s just a guess. When you move at high speed, you have a lot of fleeting movements, you know? But seeing that you didn’t fall made me think, ‘Ah, this person is preparing to unleash maximum power at any moment.’”

– Hold on, things are suddenly moving super fast!

– Professor No Na-Me, please control your acceleration!

– The professor has failed to teach meㅠㅠㅠ

– I’m so curious about how Na-Me knows so much!

We then continued to discuss the match in vague terms.

“Anyway, congratulations on obtaining the sign of the National Disaster Sword, Na-Me. Take down all the American kids with it.”

“That was returned, right?”

“What do you mean…? It was returned?”

“Britain said they wouldn’t make it. They think we’ll be too strong.”

“Wait, is that really true? No way, you’re kidding…?”

Love’s eyes widened in shock.

She frantically glanced at the chat to try to deny it.

– Yep, that’s correct.

– The taboo country has done something taboo.

– How much difference does the wand make, lol?

– Anyway, the sorcerer’s abilities are the most important.

– It’s you again, Britain!

And Love was further devastated to learn that this news had been announced a whopping two days ago.

“Sigh, I didn’t even know that… I feel bad for those people.”

She wore a gloomy expression.

To lighten the mood, I opened an internet window.

“Shall we go luxury wand shopping?”

“Online?”

“Yep, yep.”

“What’s the point of that?”

I opened up several luxury shops into the air and spoke to the viewers.

“Please buy this for my Children’s Day gift.”
