Chapter 9

A new viewer has entered.

But this time, it doesn’t seem like a normal person either.

【Handsome Licker】─Licking the monitor enthusiastically! Slurp!

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─No one complimented you, you bastard.

“…What the hell is that idiot?”

Why do only these kinds of people come to my room?

Not that I dislike it.

As long as they’re not toxic viewers, they’re welcome.

Still, I hoped at least one normal viewer would show up.

【Handsome Licker】─Churururup! Swearing is so sexy, churup!

【Yoho】─Why is their concept like that?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gyesekkihoon, isn’t that guy ban-worthy?

【Handsome Licker】─Churup…!?

“Whatever. They’re probably just a kid with some issues.”

The chat is dirty, sure.

But it’s not at the level of banning.

This is mild compared to others.

Compared to Guburi, they’re like an angel.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─?? You’re letting this slide?

“What’s there to not let slide? They’re better than you and Yoho.”

【Yoho】─Huh?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─???

“What’s with the reactions? You don’t actually think you’re normal, do you?”

【Yoho】─If it’s Gyeongsaeng-nim, maybe, but why me…?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─If it’s Yohokkmung, maybe, but why me?

Both of them are shameless.

Or do they really think they’re normal?

Maybe it’s true that idiots don’t know they’re idiots.

“Do I really have to explain this? Yoho, just your original nickname alone puts you outside the realm of normalcy.”

【Yoho】─Gasp…

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Gasp gasp, damn lol.

“Guburi, every single chat of yours is just idiotic.”

Guburi criticizing Handsome Licker is like a dog with poop on it scolding a dog with dirt on it.

It just means they’re both outstanding idiots.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─?? Overstepping…

【Handsome Licker】─Lol, churup.

“So don’t say anything to them. That guy and you guys are the same.”

I added another chat rule while saying that.

Excessive disputes between viewers are prohibited.

In other words, no trolling.

Of course, chats that are clearly jokes are fine.

I set the standard at about Guburi’s level.

If the standards are too strict, the broadcast will lose its fun.

Anyway, with this, I finally reached three viewers.

***

I fixed the camera to the cart.

It’s annoying to carry around.

Then, I moved to the display and grabbed a large amount of cola.

It wasn’t refrigerated.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Buying a ton of cola, huh.

【Yoho】─Seems like you like anything black.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─But why that? Buy something cold.

They don’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s right to buy the 2-liter cola from the regular display.

The reason is simple.

It’s much cheaper than the refrigerated cola.

“This chubby cola might not be cold, but it’s cost-effective. It’s cheaper than the 1.5-liter or 1.25-liter ones.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Huh? 2-liter is cheaper than 1.5-liter? Why?

【Handsome Licker】─Churup!?

【Yoho】─You’re so thrifty. Haha, you must be good at managing money.

“It’s not that I’m thrifty… If there’s something cheaper and with more quantity, why buy something with less quantity and more expensive?”

I’m not the type to save money.

I overspend sometimes.

But if there’s a product with more quantity and cheaper price, of course, I’ll buy that.

It’s foolish to refuse to save when you can.

Anyway, I loaded all the cola into the cart.

It took up about half of the cart.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─But does this guy drink cola instead of water? No matter how you look at it, you’re buying too much. Do you want to die from diabetes?

【Yoho】─Don’t you drink zero cola?

“Zero cola feels too thick, and I’m a cola type, so it doesn’t matter if I drink a lot.”

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─What the hell is a cola type? You’re just spouting nonsense.

“If it exists, it exists. Just accept it, you bastard.”

While responding to Guburi’s chat, I heard voices nearby badmouthing me.

“Honey, did you hear that guy swearing? Doesn’t he look trashy?”

“Huh? Uh… Yeah! A man shouldn’t be so shameless…!”

“Right? His face looks so tired, like he just came from selling his body. Hehe.”

“…Honey, can you lower your voice?”

It was a young couple.

The guy was badmouthing me, and his girlfriend was agreeing.

‘Are they saying it on purpose for me to hear?’

Lately, front-talk seems to be trending.

Their voices were loud enough for the viewers to hear.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Damn. What did those bastards just say about our Gyesekkihoon? Who are they?

【Yoho】─No, a man can swear a bit! Why are they saying that? How clean do they think their mouths are?

【Handsome Licker】─Did they come from the Joseon era or something?

Somehow, they were more furious than me.

With just three people, the chat started scrolling fast.

Guburi was especially angry.

They even said nonsense like only viewers can insult me.

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─Let’s film those bastards’ faces. Record it and post it on the community.

【Yoho】─Isn’t that a violation of portrait rights?

【Gyeongsaeng Guburi】─It’s fine. I don’t care if I get sued.

【Yoho】─No, I don’t care if Gyeongsaeng-nim gets sued, but I’m worried it might affect the Room Master.

“Hmm… Whatever, just ignore it. Don’t worry about it. Don’t even think about posting it on the community.”

Honestly, I’m fine with it.

It’s something that can happen.

I’m not entirely blameless either.

I swore without hesitation even though there were people nearby.

Depending on the person, it could be annoying or seen in a bad light.

So I decided not to care.

It’s a bit irritating, but I can handle that much. I’ve gained some patience since coming back from the military.

In the past, I would’ve immediately cursed back, but now I’m different.

I can generously forgive once.

“Look at his clothes, all black. It’s not like he’s in middle school.”

“I think it looks cool…”

“What? Noona, did you just say that trashy guy looks cool?”

“Ah, no! I meant our Dongjun looks cool, haha…”

“Lately, you’ve been really annoying. If you don’t want to be demoted to second place, watch your mouth.”

“Ugh… Okay…”

I’ll let it slide once, but not twice.

Even though I’ve changed, that’s my limit.

That damn homo bastard is dead today.

“Hey, you damn gay.”

I approached the couple and glared at the guy.

He looked like a grasshopper exposed to radiation.

“Huh? Me?”

“Who else would I be talking to, you damn gay? Anyway, repeat what you just said. Damn, what’s wrong with being trashy? You look like a radiated grasshopper, pissing people off.”

“W-what? Grasshopper? Did you just say that?”

The guy’s face turned red.

The girl looked back and forth between her boyfriend and me, unsure what to do.

She doesn’t seem to want to intervene.

‘This kind of guy only understands when they get hit.’

Ah, by the way, I don’t plan to use violence.

Unless I get hit first.

I try to avoid physical fights.

I’ve long decided to avoid extreme actions like I did in school. I’m an adult now.

“Hey! Did you just say that?”

“Say what? I’m just getting started, you bastard.”

Violence is prohibited.

Respond appropriately.

I decided to just unleash about 50 curses.

The curses were already loaded on my tongue.

No family insults.

Just a bit of personal attacks.

Just as I was about to fire those curses…

“Excuse me. Hold on.”

A big guy stepped between us.

He was holding a camera.

He wasn’t filming.

The guy added.

“I happened to overhear nearby, but it seems like you went too far, sir. Just apologize first.”

“Did you hear that? Apologize!”

Then, the grasshopper looked smug.

What’s with this guy?

The big guy also seemed dumbfounded and shook his head.

“No, I was talking to you. You were badmouthing him first, calling him trashy and all.”

“…Huh?”

The grasshopper’s face turned to confusion.

He thought the big guy was on his side.

Is he an idiot?

No matter how you look at it, it was clearly a statement supporting me. How could he interpret it like that?

He must think the world revolves around him.

The grasshopper’s face turned even redder.

Maybe from the heat, or maybe his acne, hidden by makeup, started showing.

“Ah, no… I’m the one who got insulted, why should I apologize?”

The pus-filled grasshopper retorted.

“Your words are strange. Didn’t you insult him first?”

“Huh? I didn’t say it directly. I was just talking with my girlfriend.”

“You should’ve talked quietly so others wouldn’t hear. Do you think that’s an excuse?”

The situation got weird.

The grasshopper and the big guy started arguing among themselves.
