Chapter 487

[Thank you for buying a trampoline for NaeMe unnie.]

[NaeMe unnie, thank you!]

Eventually, the viewer who brought his daughter through a video call succeeded in getting a gift.

“You have to ride it safely in front of your parents to avoid getting hurt. Got it?”

After that, countless applicants received gifts.

Students who arrogantly tried to take game consoles by saying, “I’m going to be a pro gamer,” were swiftly dismissed.

Bags, hologram projectors, speakers, height-adjustable desks, and more.

This time, a student preparing for art college entrance exams came in next.

[I’m 17 years old, NaeMe here! I’m here to buy art supplies for the entrance exam!]

“Art supplies can be expensive. Are you preparing for art school?”

[Yes, yes. Wait a moment, I had written down the list somewhere. It’s a bit over 300,000 won, is that okay?]

“Yeah. Send it over.”

There were a lot of items like palettes, colored pencils, and painting knives.

While searching for each item, the student timidly said.

[This is my second time receiving a gift from NaeMe unnie.]

Hearing that, I felt puzzled and tilted my head.

“What gift? It feels like we’re meeting for the first time today.”

[Hehe, was it the month before last? I had eye surgery.]

“Double eyelid surgery?”

[No. My left eye had been completely blind until now.]

“So you’ve been doing art with only one eye all this time? That’s impressive. If you’re only blind in one eye, it must be glaucoma.”

[Yes. Thanks to NaeMe unnie, I could fix my eyes, sob. I’m so grateful, sob…!]

“Are you smiling or crying? It’s confusing, pick one.”

[Sob, I’ll smile then. NaeMe unnie, you’re totally T…!]

“I’m sure there have been many hardships you’ve endured without realizing it. You’ve done a great job. Good luck with the entrance exam for art school.”

[Yes, yes, yes! I’ll do my best!]

-NaMe is surprisingly calm, haha.

-What a heartwarming story.

-Let’s pass the art school for sure!

-NaeMe, who gives without holding back.

-If she had patented it, she would have made a fortune, so unfortunate.

-But I bet the surgery costs didn’t drop as much as today.

-The Akashic Records are likely to be introduced for robotic surgeries soon?

-I’m severely myopic; if I just hold out for a few more years for the price to drop, I’ll get the surgery.

I’m not the type to procrastinate, so I immediately ordered and sent the items the students posted in the fan cafe.

Then I received a text notification that chimed.

[XX card daily limit exceeded. Remaining limit: 164,593 won.]

In the end, only after swiping about 10 million won could our content finally conclude.

“Guys, I’ll order the rest tomorrow. I have to pack my things and head out now. You all had fun, right?”

-Where are you going?

-Don’t go, NaeMe!ㅠㅠㅠ

-I have to go home, haha, where would I go?

-Let’s just relax by playing games.

-You should definitely go to the hospital since your foot isn’t in good shape…!

“Hospital? Do I really need to go? If I just keep exposing the organization to regeneration, I’ll recover quickly.”

-For real, that’s the mindset of the bear country, haha.

-No matter how I think about it, NaeMe picked the wrong country to be born in.

-Hospital isn’t a respawn point, you know?

-Why does NaeMe sound so blunt?

-That bluntness is just too cute, haha.

“Just for today, I’ll speak casually. Wow, this is so comfortable. Honestly, speaking formally at the end was really annoying.”

-???: From now on, always show respect to the adults.

-Nakil and Maid, wow.

-It’s a “me too, not me” situation, haha.

-Teacher Na and student me, haha.

-NaeMe Bayashi is a sound mind, haha.

-Being called informal by a 9-year-old is quite the reward.

* * *

NaeMe’s duel with Love Kim ended in her victory.

Thus, she successfully pushed forward her intention to refuse joining the national training camp.

[NoName may not reside in the training camp village, but maintains close contact with the representative team-]

William Robinson firmly denied any rumors of discord regarding individuals or groups, reassuring the Korean fans.

[The rumor of discord between NoName and Kim Love was utterly ridiculous.]

They seemed to get along very well while broadcasting.

NaeMe just wanted to broadcast for real, haha.

[Comments]

-NaeMe herself said that, so why do you keep second-guessing?

-Although she seems a little bothered, it doesn’t look like she dislikes it when she goes along with the jokes, haha.

-Damn, I envy Love Kim for being able to mess around with NaeMe!!!

-The day streamers rule the world isn’t far away.

-The strongest streamer in the world sounds pretty cool.

[Current global news reports]

-UK:

-Ridiculous results. An impending nightmare.

-A 9-year-old NoName declared self-training after defeating Love Kim.

-Japan:

-Katsuhata’s close friend has been elevated to Japan’s biggest rival.

-US:

-An abnormal monster. NoName, a human encapsulating the heart of the divine.

-Director Stiglitz stated, “All 61 participants will be re-evaluated.”

[Comments]

-Hahaha reaction tastes good.

-From their perspective, it’s hard to believe NaeMe won, haha.

-To be honest, we can’t believe it either.

-If it was a decisive victory with a 2-0 score in the first half, isn’t that outright dominance?

-What if it turns out Love Kim is actually very weak?

-I’ll be super mad if Love Kim can’t sleep because of injustice.

-This comment from Chinese kids is quite impressive.

└ “You’re mocking the dragon without even seeing it.”

└ “If you plant grains, you will harvest a year later, and if you plant trees, you’ll bear fruit in ten years, but after raising NaeMe, you’ll feel secure in a hundred years.”

└ Looking at the class of shenanigans.

└ The sluggish NaMe Gon Gon Rae.

The global internet community was heated up over one issue.

After all, the national exchange competition is where stars recognized by the world are born.

Katsuhata Emika set off a worldwide trend in Kendo.

Moreover, Wolfgang Killing, the winner of the previous year and a master of soft skills from Germany, was also significant.

Seeing him, students worldwide eagerly memorized elemental symbols to an extent.

The question, “What if NoName wins?” began to sprout in people’s minds one by one.

Meanwhile, NoName emerged as a competitor that could no longer be ignored.

Managers, directors, and coaches worldwide began to dissect her thoroughly.

This tendency was particularly strong among underdog teams.

NaeMe, under all conditions, has inferior physical abilities compared to Love.

What could be the key to defeat a giant?

To find that answer, they flocked to her personal broadcast.

[NoName]

[World of Arceria – Creating Unique Magic]

[Broadcast Duration – 1:11:57]

[Number of Viewers – 34,812]

And soon they were filled with despair.

Overwhelming intelligence.

Nothing else could be found.

* * *

I arrived home around Monday afternoon.

“Yo wassup, girl!”

Saetbyeol, who was lying on the sofa, raised her hand to greet me.

Her belly button was clearly visible.

With a silly expression.

She was busy watching a VTube and didn’t even have time to meet my gaze.

I lifted my foot and pressed down gently on her lower belly.

“Ugh! Cough! Hah!”

“Hey. You’ve only come back after three days, and that’s all the welcome I get? Aren’t you a bit disappointed?”

“Ahh, I feel great. Keep stepping on me, NaeMe-chan.”

“Yikes, that’s gross!”

I immediately withdrew my foot, feeling goosebumps all over.

Saetbyeol giggled and wiggled her finger back and forth.

“Tsk, tsk! This is why you can’t deal with me. This is really effective; I should use it more often, hee hee.”

“Why are you being annoying like this?”

I reluctantly sat halfway on the sofa.

Saetbyeol wiggled her body like a worm and moved inward, pulling my waist toward her.

“Did you do well?”

“I already know the results anyway.”

“Hey, I wanted to ask you this much. This Saetbyeol, isn’t the type to hold back.”

“What’s with you… Can you read minds too?”

“This level is basic.”

With all my inner feelings laid bare, I felt a bit ashamed.

I shared what happened during the duel last weekend without showing too much emotion.

“I was surprised at how tall Love unnie was when I met her in person.”

“Oh really?”

“She’s 177 cm, so she’s a good bit taller than you. Her personality might be quite similar to yours. She really jokes around a lot, and you actually catch on a bit better.”

“Oh?”

“In the first duel, I felt that she fought honestly and didn’t trick as much as I thought. Roseus Panthera is especially threatening, but I wanted to see how she uses her other magic first, so I started with auto-magic…”

“Hmm. Huh? What about auto-magic, keep going.”

When I turned my head sharply, Saetbyeol hid her phone between her chest.

“…”

“… Haha.”

We awkwardly met each other’s gaze.

I quickly reached back and pinched the fat on her belly.

“Ahhhh! Ahhhh!”

“When a person is talking, please listen. Are you still on a diet? There’s only leather to grab.”

“Even if it’s only belly skin, it still hurts if you pinch it, unnie! Look, my skin is getting red. My precious skin… ho ho ho.”

I stood up silently and headed to my room.

What’s the point of talking when she doesn’t even listen?

I despised myself for thinking that this time was more fun than the duel, even if just for an instant.

Suddenly-

“Why?”

Saetbyeol grabbed my ankle and fell flat on the floor like a mop.

“Hey, stop sulking. My phone is over there on the sofa. I’ll listen to you properly now.”

I marched forward, dragging her along.

Saetbyeol’s upper body absorbed all the dust on the living room floor.

In the end, she ended up getting dragged into my room.

“What’s with your feet, unnie? That looks pretty serious!”

Saetbyeol’s face turned serious, and she frowned as she realized the situation.

The worried expression made it seem like the world would end even tomorrow.

I helped her up from the floor and said.

“Thanks for saying that, even if it’s just words. I’m all better thanks to you.”

“No, seriously, with that injury, you should go to the hospital-”

“I told you I’m fine, right? I’m not the type to hold grudges. Oh right, Saetbyeol, I have something I want to try with you. Get in the capsule quickly.”

“Try something…? In the capsule? Huh, suddenly? I’m not ready yet…!”

“Your opinion doesn’t matter. Get in there and log in.”

“Eeeek! You’re so assertive, unnie! Wait a moment!”

Saetbyeol dashed into the room with the speed of light.

“What’s with her? She’s being so obedient today.”

I laid back comfortably in the capsule and took deep breaths.

[Welcome, NoName.]

As soon as I connected to the private room, Saetbyeol was back to her original form, panting and wagging her tail excitedly.

[Launching World of Arceria.]

“Huh? Why such a sudden World of Ares?”

“Dueling isn’t cool anymore.”

“…?”

“I was thinking of developing a cool unique magic. Changing the sleeping arrangement makes creativity that didn’t exist before bloom, you know? So I hope you’ll participate actively in the experiment, Adella.”

“Eeeek! I want to get out!”

Adella vehemently resisted, digging her sharp claws into the carpet.

But the strong suction flow from the portal sucked her whole body in.

What is the primary duty of a high mage?

It is, after all, developing unique magic.

I jumped in with both feet into the portal.

From afar, Adella’s scream echoed like an echo.
