Misa-ssi, nice try.
Bang!
Thud.
[You’ve been taken out.]
Her purple, fresh hair tangled up and touched the desk. Her red eyes blinked slowly as she tried to understand the situation.
“…Huh?”
This flustered girl is the person inside Yoshida Misa. Ju Arin.
Arin, who knew that Yui always insisted on point A in the first round, went to point A with all the team members.
Emi and Rie had a hard time controlling each other as they growled along the way, but they somehow arrived at point A.
The judgment here was a mistake.
As a defensive team, they should have waited for the attacking team to come in, but they rushed outside.
But Arin also had an excuse.
Arin, who picked the character Aishao, tried to move to the nearest cover while her shield was up.
Aishao’s shield blocks one attack without fail. It is theoretically impossible to die from a sudden sniper shot.
Her strategy was to move behind the box in the alley to point A, trying to confuse the enemy team.
By doing so, she thought she could at least take down two enemies and buy time to reroute to another point.
But in the short time it took to move to the container right in front of the alley,
Her shield was broken, and two shots hit her head.
The aim was so out of the ordinary that Arin’s thoughts stopped.
When she could barely see in front of her, the only things that came into view were the cold body of Aishao and the rising chat box.
- Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
- Are you going to check your skill today? <- what was actually said kkkkkkkkkkk
- First blood, just like that
- Lmao, so bad kkkkkkkkk
“…What? What?! What is this?!”
For a moment, Arin completely forgot the RP and screamed loudly. She couldn’t understand the situation she was in at all.
In that instant, Chamber’s headshot, aiming directly at her head?
It was surprising enough just to see Aishao moving and reacting.
Even if she kept getting chances, she wouldn’t have dared to follow through.
No matter how much the enemy’s aim seemed on a whole different level.
Her own reflexes, which she was most confident about, had failed.
“That’s unreasonable. Huh? This isn’t right!”
Arin panicked to the point of almost crying.
In truth, the slight tears in the corners of her eyes were a secret.
She had been completely defeated in her strongest area.
The LumiLive members each had their own areas of expertise.
Emi’s specialty was sexy ASMR or creative dirty jokes.
Rie’s was her unique, somewhat awkward (but cute) accent and unfiltered jokes.
Yui was the only one among the four who was pure and innocent, showing off her different charms.
As for Arin’s character, Misa? It was the cute voice paired with surprisingly good game skills. Honestly, her physical skills were the worst among the four.
Sometimes, even Arin admired Emi’s voice when she woke up from a nap.
Rie’s unique way of speaking had a cuteness Arin could never imitate.
And Yui… her very existence was so radiant that Arin couldn’t even feel jealous.
That’s why Arin took pride in and became obsessed with “gaming.”
The mindset of “What if you take this from me too?”
“This isn’t right!!”
With a jerk,
She jumped out of her chair and screamed.
She lost. Perfectly.
- Kkkkkkk
- First time seeing Misa get first blooded
- Always so confident, then dies
“No… ugh.”
Arin lowered her head.
Her screen flickered, showing a different character every time her eyes blinked.
Bang.
[Oh. This is bad.]
Bang.
[Kyaah…! Damn..!]
The screams of the teammates, Emi and Rie, being torn apart in real time, filled the room.
It was a mistake to think of the enemy as an asymmetrical force and send the flight path there.
There was a skilled player who was helping the already strong person.
“I should’ve had all of LumiLive raid against that one person…”
With the level of a pro gamer, Emi and Rie, who were just good at the game, and herself, there was no way to win.
With Arin’s regret-laden sigh, the first round ended.
White Palette, consisting of Emi, Rie, Misa, and the AI, took 4 kills.
The Flying Cloud AI took 1 kill.
If you exclude Yui, who died to the AI while walking alone,
It was a perfect defeat for Misa’s team.
- Kya
- Kya kkk
- I’m the game GOAT of LumiLive, the disciple recognized by KillLogNote, and Ebebebe
- Ah… so this is LumiLive… it’s so lame I feel like dying
- Transcendent? You suck
“Now, it’s just one round. It’s too early for that reaction.”
At least for this moment, she felt excluded from the surrounding noise. The amazing headshot she made against the ace of the enemy team.
Hehe… heh…
Honestly, that was really cool. She tried to act cool about it, but her smile kept rising.
As soon as Neo came out, she took out her pistol and shot… Hehe.
Yeah. If she had been TSed but her game skills stayed the same, then what was TS? It was just gender swap.
Well… explaining it as just TS’d and having improved skills doesn’t feel right.
It felt like the experience from when she was a guy was merging with her talents as a female Kang Suhyun.
Her illustration style had also not just improved but evolved into its final form.
Her current game skill was a combination of the talent from when she was a guy and the playtime as a girl.
The time spent on the game as a girl was much greater than when she was a guy, so yeah. This must be the right explanation.
[Mama! That was so cool…!]
[Honestly, I couldn’t fully believe it… but I guess it’s true. Predator.]
While wasting time on the game and skills, Yui and the Flying Cloud beside her were chattering. Hehe. The satisfaction was real. This is sex. Though she had never experienced it.
“Hehe. Instead of praising me, buy an operator.”
[Ex. An operator…?]
[That’s quite an investment.]
- Complimenting me, and now you’re asking for money…
- Of course, I have to pay for the carry. ᄋᄋ
- Even so, an operator is a bit…
An operator. The monster that requires 4700 credits, the most expensive in the game. With its devastating damage, it can wipe out an enemy with a single shot, regardless of distance, as long as it’s not the legs.
Its weakness is its painfully slow mobility and speed.
And the chance of it being stolen if the operator holder is killed.
But…
“I’ll show you results that are worth the money invested.”
- Kya
- So cool ᄃᄃ
[Ex….]
[That’s cool.]
She smiled confidently and clicked the purchase request.
If her personality from before, the nerdy and awkward Kang Suhyun, were stronger, she wouldn’t have been able to say something like that…
But fortunately, her introverted personality had softened a bit.
Maybe it was the influence of the internet bully, female Kang Suhyun, but now she could speak properly when playing games.
[Ugh. Alright… I wouldn’t have given it to anyone else.]
[Well. I don’t really care what gun I get.]
Clink. Clink.
The heavy weight and long barrel in Chamber’s hands.
My beloved sniper rifle, which shows overwhelming performance in one-on-one fights.
“Thank you.”
[Round 2. Start.]
And so, the round started again.
Clunk!
The blockades disappeared, and the moment of choice came again.
A, B, and C. One of the three paths, with an agent holding the spike to escort. That’s the right choice.
Ugh. This decision is surprisingly hard to make.
If you choose wrong, even if one person is good, there’s a chance of total defeat…
I glanced sideways, and neither Yui nor the flight path had moved. What? Are you guys the same?
Hmm. Yui. Where should we go this time?
I casually threw the question to Yui, thinking that if we face the enemy head-on, I could pass the responsibility onto her.
[Ah. This time… should we try going to A again?]
When she said it so brightly, even I felt guilty…
“Yeah. Let’s try that.”
Well, whatever happens, happens.
An operator is slow and careful, walking with the thought that one shot must count. If point A is blocked, we can just go back.
So, the whole team, except for the AI, crouched and headed for point A. They seemed pretty cautious, but they almost made it.
[Ah. Mama. That… ]
“Yeah. Rendezvous.”
Beep.
Chamber pulled out the card and threw it behind. Just in case, an insurance rendezvous, a short teleportation anchor.
Chamber’s survival rate is a bit lower, so this needs to be supplemented like this.
[By the way, White Palette only uses casual language with Yui, huh?]
Ugh. Are we really bringing this up here…?
- Definitely…
- Another Mama moment!
- The ‘mother-daughter’ bond.
“Uh… Yui is special, so…”
Her voice was trembling, but she tried to answer as naturally as possible. Damn it. When I’m with the flight path, it feels like everything gets nullified.
Hehehe! As expected, Mama is on Yui’s side. I knew it ᄀ…
Bang, bang, bang!
In an instant, Yui falls to the ground. Judging from the ricochet of the bullets, it’s from the side and the building above.
Yui was shot from behind cover on the roof.
Judging by the rush in the previous round, it’s definitely not Misa.
If it had been Misa, she would have relied on reflexes and charged in.
“Flying Cloud.”
[It’s probably Rie. Emi can’t hit from this distance.]
…She casually disses her idol, huh.
Drdrdrdr!
Flying Cloud fiercely fires from the machine gun’s muzzle. It’s out in the open, but Flying Cloud is in a visible position.
If attacked from there, the enemy will probably be caught off guard…
Bang!
The smoke rises from the operator’s long barrel. A bullet is lodged into the head of the agent that Rie was controlling.
[Fujimoto Rie eliminated!]
The escape route was probably only in this direction.
It was an obvious choice.
[Nice. Just keep it up…]
Drdrdrdr!
[Woah.]
A rifle blasts from the blind spot. Flying Cloud falls. Before I can even figure out who it is, what appears before me is…
[Your opponent is me!]
A purple, dreamlike background. A huge, dimension-defying space with walls blocking my view.
The ultimate ability that pulls one enemy away to fight 1v1. “Contract of the Assassin.”
“I see. It’s Aishao’s ultimate. Looks like you’ve been saving up for it, Misa.”
- Just a GOAT…
- Using it the moment she got a chance, how typical of Misa…
- But still, Aishao’s ultimate is probably a favorable match.
Ah, the way she keeps acting is so cute. I guess she thought she could win 1v1.
Good luck. Unlike the victim with only one wall, you’ve got three walls, so there’s plenty of space for you to move.
…Huh?
“Hm… Not coming out.”
There’s no sound from beyond the wall.
So this is the kind of battle she wants to rely on reflexes for.
Then I’ll just wait.
I’m behind one wall, so my position is set, while she’s behind three, but this penalty isn’t that bad.
Three seconds passed.
Now, it’s time for the final showdown.
Ssssss…
The wall disappears.
The blue eyes quickly scan the screen.
Left. No. Middle. Nope.
Right.
In an instant, I drag the operator and precisely follow Aishao’s movement.
As if she expected it, Aishao moves around, spraying bullets with her rifle, and I pull the trigger as I align the headshot.
Bang!
One shot was all it took.
The operator’s bullet pierces Aishao’s head. Red effects splatter into the air.
[Headshot]
[Yoshida Misa eliminated!]
Thud, thud…
The purple space crumbles.
Aishao’s body floats into the air and evaporates.
This is the death motion for when you die in the Contract of the Assassin’s ultimate. Now there’s really no excuse left, Misa.
[Team member reports that enemies are gathered at B point!]
The enemy team is engaged in combat at point B.
There’s a bit of time to spare.
Thud.
I turned on the team mic.
“Misa? Nice try.”
