Chapter 35 – They Say You Shouldn’t Get Swayed by the Chat
《Hmm…》
A voice that sounded dissatisfied.
-Drurrrk
-Click.
The sound of a mouse wheel turning, followed by a button click.
In the strange silence of CravingWarmAmericano’s broadcast, the only sound was the continuous refreshing of KoK Forum posts on the browser.
『Author: Krrrr』
『Title: Krrrr Can’t Stand It Anymore』
『Going to play a rogue』
-I’m going too

Continuing on.

-Drurrrk.
For a full five minutes.
《Hmm…》
With a dejected nasal sound, despite whatever anyone might say, she continued scrolling and clicking the buttons, her finger pointing at the screen.
《This…》
Despite the consistently languid tone, Yena’s slowly shaking head and the wobbling camera conveyed her dissatisfaction.
《Don’t these comments seem a bit… contrived?》
『Of course they’re contrived, we sent them artificially』
『I can’t take this anymore』
『I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind, I feel like I’m losing my mind』
『How do you naturally respond to such crap?』
『Who made the criminal law, seriously』
『I’m an active judge. Beating this guy is not a crime』
《It feels too unnatural… Not good.》

【You shackle a person and make them dig, then say… Hmm… the ground looks a bit unnatural? Wasn’t it supposed to be flat?】
『True』
『True true』
『I can’t live like this anymore!!』
《Hmm…》
Her outstretched fingers drummed the desk in a thoughtful rhythm.
《Is this… my fault?》
『Yeah』
『Yeah』
『Yeah』
『Who else would it be, seriously』
『Is she really insane』
-ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!-
【Please have some human decency】
《Alright… Okay, I understand. Just a moment.》
The forum screen transitioned to Discourse chat, showing the messages Yena had left after the game.
『CravingWarmAmericano: Ark』
『CravingWarmAmericano: Sorry, but I need to step away for about 10 minutes to manage my broadcast』
『CravingWarmAmericano: You can go ahead and start a game without me』
Despite witnessing this, Ark could only continue watching Yena’s broadcast with a bewildered expression.
Seeing that Ark wasn’t in a game from the KoK client, Yena started typing again.
『CravingWarmAmericano: Oh, you didn’t start a queue and waited』
『CravingWarmAmericano: I’m sorry』
『CravingWarmAmericano: It’s my first time streaming, and I’m not good at communicating with viewers』
“Communicating…?”
Ark muttered blankly, staring at her own broadcast chat.
『Ark, I’m sorry for everything, you’re really good at communicating』
『Mom, I missed you… I won’t run away again… Mom, I missed you… I won’t run away again… Mom, I missed you… I won’t run away again… Mom, I missed you… I won’t run away again… Mom, I missed you… I won’t run away again』
『Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark! Communication King Ark!』
『I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom… I love you, mom』
For some reason, Ark’s evaluation seemed to be improving dramatically.
Although spamming has increased…
『CravingWarmAmericano: Yes』
『CravingWarmAmericano: Communication is really difficult』
『CravingWarmAmericano: Shall we start the queue?』
『CravingWarmAmericano: We should play until we get three wins』

=Victory!=
“Rogues are great, right?”
『Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great…』
『Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great…』
-ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!-
【Please say anything other than “Rogues are great” and I’ll donate 10,000 won】
“Rogues are great.”
『Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great… Ro…gue… is… great…』
『Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great… Rogues… are… great…』
『Why are they like this after I stepped away for a bit』
Two clean victories.
Unlike the first game where they were pushed to the brink of defeat, the next two games were calm two consecutive wins.
… It felt like the other four members in both games might have been actors targeting Ark, but still.
Regardless, as long as they played earnestly and didn’t troll, promoting rogues, they were welcome.
What impact it might have on rogue promotion needed more thought—
But judging from the chat, everyone had started agreeing rogues were good, so for now, she was satisfied.
They might not mean it sincerely yet. But it’s said smiling makes you happy eventually, not the other way around.
If they keep typing that in chat, someday they’ll genuinely believe rogues are great.
While admiring the now-beautiful chat, satisfied, Ark’s voice came through the speakers.
《Ah ah. GetDevoured-nim?》
『CravingWarmAmericano: Yes』
《Can we talk about that “Kickback Privilege”?》
『CravingWarmAmericano: Yes』
《I’m watching your broadcast, so you can just speak.》
“Oh. Really?”
I can’t hear her voice, this is intriguing. She seemed to have adjusted the settings while interacting with the viewers.
《Yes, yes. So, about that “Kickback Privilege”…》
“Yes.”
《What exactly do you want it to achieve?》
Did I not explain clearly earlier?
Indeed, it’s best to be clear about such things for everyone’s benefit.
“Oh. It’s nothing major. Actually, I almost got banned unfairly on a broadcast recently.”
『Is she talking about that infamous broadcast?』
『If she has any conscience, she wouldn’t be』
『Pretty sure she is』
《Yes… unfairly…》
“Yes. Fortunately, the broadcaster had a wonderful system called Trial by Combat, which allowed me to prove my innocence.”
《Yes… Innocence. That’s fortunate, I guess.》
『She’s definitely talking about that, lOL』
『Innocence…?』
『I think her concept of innocence is different from normal people』
『Why is this conversation not making any sense?』
Maybe it was because I was playing with extra focus, or more likely, it was the heat I felt on my forehead.
As I continued the conversation, I began to feel significant fatigue and thirst.
Just wanting to get the “Kickback Privilege” and end the broadcast—thinking this, I reached for a cup on the side and quickly drank from it.
“Yes. So, what I realized back then was… Ah.”
In my haste, the water overflowed from the cup, spilling down my chin.
Trying to comply with the chat’s request not to move my head too much because of the mounted camera was a mistake.
They say not to get swayed by the chat as a broadcaster. Turns out, it’s true.
“Just a moment. I’m sorry.”
I pulled some tissues from the desk and quickly wiped my chest. Fortunately, most of the spilled water had stopped at my chest and hadn’t dripped onto the floor.
Realizing the functionality of my shirt, I quickly wiped the moisture inside with the tissue, but my bra was already drenched. Debating whether to just take it off and avoid the discomfort, Ark’s urgent voice broke her thoughts.
《GetDevoured-nim! GetDevoured-nim?!》
“Oh. Yes, Ark-nim. I’m sorry, I spilled some water.”
Could I sneakily take off the bra without showing it on broadcast? If freshly removed underwear appears on the broadcast, it could lead to a ban… a situation I definitely want to avoid.
Bowing my head, I fluttered the collar of my wet shirt to dry it a bit while pondering how to handle the issue. Just then, Ark’s voice became more frantic.
《I can see that, but please, just lift your head! Now! What? Ban them all? Mods, ban all those sending the “oppai” messages from the chat right now! Review the replay and ban them all!》
Reflexively lifting her head at Ark’s command, she saw her broadcast’s chat moving faster than ever.
『Op』
『pai』
『Nunna, I love you, heuheu』
『Op』
『Rogues are great! Rogues are great! Rogues are great!』
『Whoa』
『Whoa』
『From today, GetDevoured and I are one, from today, GetDevoured and I are one』
『Op』
『pai』
『What cup size is that???』
『Wow…』
“Oh.”
Right.
The camera on my head.
