Only Weapon Master

Although the debut was successfully completed with more viewers than expected,

It didn’t bring much change to our real-world lives.

Since we broadcast using virtual characters rather than showing our real selves, illogical things like people recognizing us on the street saying, “Lucy-nim, Mika-nim! I became a fan after watching your broadcast yesterday!! Please give me your autograph!” didn’t happen.

Of course, if such a thing were to happen… well. Kalkal would have to do some work.

As I was having unnecessary thoughts about how to handle such a creepy situation, I suddenly arrived at school. As soon as I sat down, I took out a pillow from my bag and went to sleep.

Zzz…

.

— ♪♫♪

“…Yawn…Ara, wake up, it’s over…”

“Mmnya…mmm…”

Even Reina, who never sleeps at school, couldn’t overcome the fatigue from last night’s broadcast. She woke me up with a sleepy voice while shaking my shoulder.

We stepped out of the school gate in a half-asleep state, and for the first time in a long while, we split up and went straight to our respective homes.

Normally, after school, I would have had to listen to Reina’s noisy chatter at the café we always visit.

But since her individual broadcast debut was scheduled for 18:00, I could head straight home.

“I’m home.”

“Good job, daughter~”

Entering home and being greeted by my mom, I immediately threw myself onto the bed as soon as I entered my room.

So soft…hueh

‘Let’s see… it’s 5 PM now. Homework and unfinished games will take about an hour, so I can do those and then watch Reina’s broadcast. Yes, perfect.’

Having made what I thought was a perfect time plan, I.

— Beep. Beep beep.

Started mindlessly tapping on my phone while surrendering my body to the soft bed.

‘

.

.

.

” .ra…Ara…Kang Ara!”

“…Hueh.”

Eh…? Why is Mom in front of me?

After rubbing my eyes and yawning widely, I was about to ask why Mom had come up, when I saw the clock on the wall.

— Tick.

[20 : 15]

Uh. Hmm?

“…Mom. The clock isn’t broken, is it? It was definitely 5 PM…”

“Haah… Reina called asking if anything happened. She said she couldn’t reach you and was about to broadcast…”

Um. Was I too mindless?

If I use the excuse that the bed was too soft for being late… that wouldn’t work, right?

♦♦♦

[What’s with this girl?]

She said she’d do her debut broadcast at 20:00.

It’s now 20:20?

I even ordered chicken in advance to eat while watching your broadcast, and now it’s all cold, damn it.

— Ah lolol 15 minutes isn’t enough time to do it~ You eat your cold chicken lol Lucy is doing couple exercises with her boyfriend and will eat warm chicken lol

└ Get lost, Lucy doesn’t know about such things. Fuck, Lucy doesn’t… do-doesn’t know about such things!!

[I sensed something not befitting a rookie since the group debut broadcast]

But that didn’t mean you should be late?

— Lolol a rookie lolol being late for a broadcast lolol damn

— VTuber discipline has really fallen apart.

└ Do VTubers even have discipline?

└ What are you trying to say?

└ Nothing lol

└ …Why does this piss me off so much?

[Thumbs up if you’re Mika and want to strangle Lucy lol]

Seems like Lucy promised to warm up 5 minutes before Mika ended her broadcast.

But since Lucy showed no signs of starting her broadcast, Mika is extending her broadcast lol

Meanwhile, Mika’s chat is a mess because people who wanted to watch Lucy are going crazy asking why Lucy isn’t coming lol

— Smashing that thumbs up!

— I’m Mika and I’ve cut ties with Lucy.

└ Mika is still broadcasting, you idiot lol And Mika doesn’t talk like that

└ Hmph!Huff!Puff! I’m Mika~ I’ve cut ties with Lucy!

└ U-wek

— But who are these people causing trouble? Is this what you want to do to fellow group members?

└ For real, aren’t these kinds of people lowering our standards as VTuber fans?

└ Was there any standard left to lower?

└ @$%*%@(!

— But even though it’s only been a day, why does Lucy’s fandom feel so gloomy?

└ I kind of get that feeling too lol

[Lucy Bang ON]

Nope, it’s a lie~ You fell for that?lol

Lucy is busy making a baby with her boyfriend right now?

So all you basement dwellers waiting, just masturbate while imagining Lucy getting eaten hoho

— I’ll kill you. I’ll find you and definitely kill you

└ (Post author): Yeah, try to find me lol~

— Damn, just block these trolls, I’m having unwanted thoughts because of them!!!

— Did your education come from self-study all the way to Harvard? You’re acting like someone born from your mom receiving sperm from Western men and creating a chimera.

└ Oh boy… you got that right

[Lucy really started streaming]

gogogo

— I’m not falling for it

└(Post author): Fine, don’t believe it and keep posting crap here

└(Comment author): Oh! It was true. Sorry, teacher!!

After waking up at 20:15, despite being late, Ara took her time drinking water and even washing her face before

[Lucy Individual Broadcast Debut~!] (20 : 30)

Boldly starting her broadcast exactly at 30 minutes.

♦♦♦

I sent Reina a text apologizing for missing her individual broadcast debut while my broadcast was already running.

[Reina] : Um…Ara, I’m fine now, but shouldn’t you be focusing on your broadcast…? Or at least contact me before starting…!! How can you text for 3 minutes after starting the broadcast…!!! Why even start the broadcast if you’re going to do this…….

Hmm… Reina’s right. I was already late too.

But starting exactly at 30 minutes felt better, so I couldn’t help it..

— Want to die?

— Baby, why did you leave so quickly! ㅠㅠ

— Lock

— Gasp. Baby, at my house, your panties…

— Lock

— Lock

“Hmm..”

‘Tsk. It seems they won’t listen no matter how politely I speak. In that case….’

— What’s with this relaxed atmosphere? Can’t she understand the situation?

— Women need to be hit to come to their senses

— If you bow your head and strip, I’ll let this one slide.

“Hmm. Guys. Before you get angry, listen to me.”

— Sure, get lost, I won’t listen. Just reveal your boyfriend.

“Oh! You’ll listen? That’s a relief. Thank you~ Lucy’s Baby Bird. Since our kind Lucy’s Baby Bird seems curious about why I was late, I’ll tell you why.”

— Is she doing Jekyll and Hyde by herself?

— What’s with suddenly thanking herself?

— Am I blind? I don’t see any “Lucy’s Baby Bird” or comments saying they’ll listen anywhere

— Where is this Lucy’s Baby Bird, damn it

Ara began explaining why she was late with a shameless attitude, not blinking an eye in front of the cursing chat.

— Let’s hear what she has to say.

— (fire)(fire)(fire)(fire)(fire)(fire)

— She was making strawberry rice cakes with her boyfriend lol

— (fire)(fire)(fire)

— Stop flaming and just listen, you guys

As she spoke, the flames decreased from five to two, and mentions of boyfriends reduced from three to one, with the chat speed noticeably slowing down.

After calmly listening to Ara’s reason for being late with subdued attitudes, the viewers

— Are you serious?

— I’m an idiot for seriously listening to this. If your goal was to make us angry, Lucy, you win completely, you fucking bitch

— So you’re saying you lay down on your bed to watch Mika’s debut broadcast?

— And you think Conan shot you with an anesthetic dart? Is that it?

— Stop bullshitting. You fucking bitch!

— You just fell asleep, right? Do you think we’d believe that? Bring out your boyfriend! Explain quickly!

— Ex

— plain

— Lock

Rather than calming them down, her story acted as fuel, making the chat burn even more fiercely than when she first started the broadcast.

“But really, oversleeping is all there is to it. I don’t even have a boyfriend, so how should I explain?”

— How would we know you don’t have a boyfriend?

— Do your best

— So this girl’s informal speech wasn’t a concept but a passive skill?

— ? That’s right. Fuck, look at her speaking informally even in this solemn situation. Villagers!!…….

Um. I’ve been caught..

With the already angry atmosphere due to her lateness, plus her casual informal speech, our gentle viewers finally grew horns.

“Uh.um. Guys. Calm down and listen to me. My informal speech is intentional to get closer to you.”

— You said that was your concept. Stop lying and explain…….

“And you’re all speaking informally to me too.”

— What’s with suddenly bringing that up now?? Just explain …….

“But if we approach this differently, what kind of relationship uses informal speech?”

— Lovers? No, just explain, you f’ing bitch ㅏㅏㅏ

“Lovers is -ack that’s completely wrong, the most representative relationship for informal speech is friends, right? In English it’s ‘friends,’ in Chinese it’s ‘péngyǒu,’ in Japanese it’s ‘tomodachi’ or ‘nakama’ …….”

In truth, Ara didn’t know what she was saying. She was just rambling.

She continued speaking according to her subconscious flow, and when she couldn’t think of anything more to say, she stopped and looked at the chat.

?

— Oh. Am I friends with Lucy?

— But the explanation

— Don’t care, she’s offering to be friends with us. Shut up, damn it

— Friends can be late too. Isn’t it common for friends to break appointment times?lol

— Late because she was playing with her boyfriend …….

— Ah shut up. She just overslept.

— Boyfriend jokes aren’t funny anymore, so get lost now.

— My mom taught me friends don’t lie. So Lucy really did oversleep.

They were simple indeed; when Lucy, who had the charm of a tough girl, said she would be friends with them, they stopped the venomous comments, saying that was good.

Of course, some weren’t fooled by Lucy’s mouth tricks, but since most of their comrades had already been converted, they could no longer express their dissatisfaction.

Seeing the chat’s reaction turn quite favorable, Ara didn’t miss the timing and added:

“Well, I was in the wrong for being late. Can’t I just extend the broadcast by 30 minutes?”

Creating a warm and friendly atmosphere opposite to what it was before the broadcast by showing a magnanimous(?) attitude, acknowledging her mistake and offering to extend the broadcast, she won over public opinion.

— AgreeAgree

— I’m friends with Lucy hehe

— Lucy, open donations!! I’ll pay a friendship fee!

— A friendship fee… is this for real?

— It’s appropriate, if you don’t like it, don’t pay and get out, punk.

“Ah, I’ll open donations later. It’s my individual debut day, so you need time to get to know me better, right?”

— Yes! First, I’m curious about Lucy-nim’s panties…!

— 222

— Please describe the texture of your panties!

— What’s with all the panty talk? This isn’t a women’s underwear home shopping channel

“I’ll ignore the panty talk. If you’re curious, go to a women’s underwear store and find panties with a similar texture to mine and…”

Since she had no idea why they were curious about the character’s panties, she answered like that and slowly began going through what she had planned for today’s broadcast.

.

.

.

.

.

As she elaborated on what she had briefly mentioned in the group debut broadcast, time melted away.

“Well. Now you don’t have any more questions about me, right?”

— Pant…

[WhatsThePantyToday] has been kicked.

— Gasp..

— That’s what you get, you panty-obsessed bastards

— Wow, did you hear that mouse click? They got instantly kicked lol

After deciding to leave it alone, I got annoyed by one viewer’s constant panty! panty!! panty!!! chat and gave them my broadcast’s first kick punishment.

“Finally. Repetitive words without any fun or emotion can disturb my mood, so keep that in mind.”

— Yes!

— We’re different from the friend who just left hihi

“Good. People should know ‘moderation,’ tsk.”

— Whew… that contemptuous tone…

— More. Mo tto mo tto

— This is a whole different level from Mika’s room, look at the chat standard

“Hmm? What was the atmosphere in Mika’s room like?”

— Don’t you know?

— How would a girl who slept through her friend’s broadcast and was late to her own know anything lol

— Now that I think about it, I’m getting angry? This is something even veteran broadcasters wouldn’t do, but she’s doing it on her first individual broadcast day

— Mika’s room is so bright, but here it’s like… the darkest of the dark

— That’s just because the host doesn’t actively kick people

— If this could be resolved with kicks, all Koreans would be holding pickets in Gwanghwamun Square demanding that everyone in the National Assembly be kicked… (This message has been deleted.)

“Well. Let’s not talk about politics. I don’t know anything about politics, so any political talk in my room will get you kicked immediately.”

— Yes ma’am!

— ^^7

“And about kicking, it’ll probably vary depending on my mood that day. You know what I mean, right?”

— Translation: On bad mood days, crawl carefully, but on good mood days, she won’t touch you.

“Wow… good translation performance. You should be my manager. Kick anyone who spams or talks politics immediately.”

— [FemaleTranslator] : What? I don’t want to do that…?

“Sorry, can’t happen. I’ve already appointed you as manager. It’s easier if you just accept it.”

— [FemaleTranslator] : No. Ha shi…

— Sorry, no, go back. I have no intention of changing it

— Being Lucy’s manager is really e.n.v.i.a.b.l.e. I want to do it too. Hmph!

— So what are we doing now?

‘Hmm. Good question? What should I do now? I’ve finished all I planned to talk about today. What… there’s nothing else to do, should I just end the broadcast?’

— What’s taking her so long to think?

— Surely she’s not going to say that this is the end of the content after being so late, I believe in you Lucy

— Fuck. If you’re planning to end it, you better prepare to die

“I don’t have much else prepared, but I’ll play a game.”

Even though she felt being late was forgivable, ending the broadcast after just an hour seemed too unethical even to her, so she announced she would play a game.

— If you don’t have content, why not just do a Q&A?

— What’s with “I’ll play” instead of “Should we play?”

— Lol a broadcaster saying they’ve run out of content, was self-introduction really the end of your content?

— Lol I guess the Twins Tail cafe talk was content too lololololol

— Fuck, this is too much free riding?

— Let’s calm down first and hear what game she’s going to play.

— Just do a Q&A, Lucy

“I don’t know. Lucy just wants to play games. Poo poo”

— Ah, I really want to give her a hard flick on the forehead…!!

Actually, Ara was excited to play MOL since it had been so long since she last played, what with the kendo tournament and VTuber debut preparations. She couldn’t even see the chats suggesting something else.

— I’m really curious why she asked if she’s just going to do what she wants.

— She’s really strong-willed

— Just do a damn Q&A, you bitch!

“I need to enter virtual reality, so I’ll temporarily stop the screen capture. Please wait a moment.”

I completely ignored the resistant viewers’ reactions, turned off the screen capture on my computer, and left to connect the broadcast to my capsule.

— Are we communicating correctly? This isn’t just us talking to ourselves?

— What is this? Am I the only one who feels like I’m being treated like a dog?

— I hope her facial capture accidentally turns off and we see the red pill. Waa

— What

— Lucy is probably in the top 0.1% of beauties in the province, I’m betting my mom’s homegrown tomatoes on it.

— Could I bet on your mom instead of the tomatoes?

The capsule and broadcast were properly connected, with the chat and my character showing correctly.

— So what game are you going to play?

“Good question. I’ve only played MOL.”

— MOL is boring..

— Lucy noona, let’s play dating sims, dating sims!

— How about a building game instead of MOL?

— What about a zombie game? It doesn’t take long to finish.

— Lucy-nim, what’s your MOL nickname??

“Good suggestions. But I’ve only played MOL.”

— Oh damn it

— She’s such a bitch

— Doesn’t she need to take her medication or something?

— Why do I feel like I’m becoming the idiot the more I try to communicate?

— Is this some kind of macro? (This message has been deleted.)

— Lucy-nim, what’s your MOL nickname??

The viewers who had recommended games were greatly upset by Ara’s predetermined-answer behavior, but it was all buried by Ara’s excitement about playing MOL after a long time.

“Hmm? Oh, there’s a chat asking about my MOL nickname repeatedly, hmph. Why should I tell you?”

Normally she would have ignored such a chat, but excited about playing soon, Ara decided to respond to the same question that one viewer had been persistently asking her, as a celebration of her good mood.

— Not interested in a Silver ID. lol

— Yesyesyesyes!!

— Everyone shut up, I’m curious, please tell us!!

— What’s your MOL nickname!?!?

— What’s this? Where did you all suddenly crawl out from?

Want to know about other games, and now you’re curious?

“Hmph, don’t be surprised when you hear it. Heheh”

— Why does this girl keep cracking up, what’s wrong with her?

— Are you really trying to hype us up over just a nickname?

— Shut up! Lucy-nim, I’m curious!

— Me too!!

— No, who are you guys, where did you crawl out from

“I’m actually Grandmaster, you know? Hmph”

In truth, Ara was excited to brag about herself.

Although she had been playing MOL for less than half a year, Ara knew that Grandmaster was a high tier.

So she confidently mentioned her tier, but

— She’s bullshitting

— Hey. Can someone come here and cure her pathological lying?

— Nickname! Show us proof!!

The viewers didn’t believe her and demanded proof.

“… Do you guys have trust issues? Why do you keep asking for my nickname? You’ll find out anyway once I log in.”

— Just tell us in advance. Please! If you’re Grandmaster, I’ll spread the word and bring in viewers for you.

“Viewers? Not really necess… well… I guess it doesn’t hurt to tell my nickname.”

— Were you about to say viewers aren’t necessary just now?

Ignoring one viewer’s suspicion, Ara stated her nickname.

“My MOL nickname is……”

Thus, the seed planted by the persistent YongYong cult member

“……YongYongLion, hmph. If you check my record……”

Finally succeeded in blooming.
