Chapter 71: Visit to the event venue

Even though the opponent had gotten stronger, I had no intention of giving up.

Of course, it was just a game, but I had to do my best.

‘I really don’t want to lose on purpose.’

With that thought, I talked to Guo-in.

“For now, the only advantage we have is bot lane, so let’s take a bit of a risk. I don’t think we can win otherwise.”

Got it.

There was no choice.

Normally, I’d play safely from the back, but right now, we didn’t have anyone to rely on, so we had to manage the game ourselves.

With that in mind, Guo-in and I started moving around the map.

“Let’s try going in there. I’m a bit hesitant to go in myself.”

Since the champion’s role, I could save the support at least once.

No need for me to put myself in danger unnecessarily.

Um…

Let me check.

Guo-in said something seemed off, but didn’t argue and moved into the fog of war.

Then, shortly after.

[You have been slain!]

Guo-in died immediately.

I couldn’t even react in time.

But you said you’d use your ultimate.

“Reaction failure issue.”

Hmm…

I’m confident in my reaction speed, but in a situation like that, it was hard to respond.

The crowd control had landed with a delay.

[+HurryAndLeave: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Can’t blame you for not using your ult…]

[Pepe: The enemy’s CC was just so perfectly timed]

[But why couldn’t you react to it, Guo-in? It wasn’t even aimed at you.]

[ㅋㅋ]

[Just making excuses, huh…]

“If I hadn’t used my ult and Guo-in had survived, it would’ve been worth it, but since that failed, we’re at a disadvantage.”

If everything had gone well, we could’ve gained an advantage.

But it failed.

With that thought, I continued pushing through the game.

[You have slain an enemy!]

[You have slain an enemy!]

[Double Kill!]

“This is easy.”

—Agreed.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[+HurryAndLeave: What’s with the back-and-forth between the two of them?]

[This is absurd ㅋㅋ]

[But seriously, they both played really well]

[Most people wouldn’t have done that as smoothly as they did.]

[Pepe: If they keep this up, we could win. The team has plenty of champions to cover the enemy top.]

That was true.

The enemy top was scary, but with our team’s champions covering it, the chances of surviving increased drastically.

“I’ll carry now, so just don’t die, both of you. If you hold on, I’ll win this for us.”

I was serious about this.

If Ryu Arim and Glim could just stay alive, the chances of winning would go up significantly.

As long as they didn’t do anything reckless, we could win.

Just as I was saying that.

[You have been slain!]

—Ah, they died.

Glim was cleanly taken out.

And she didn’t even manage to use any of her spells.

“Glim, what are you doing? We need to take the objective.”

This was a bit disappointing.

She didn’t take any of the enemy’s important spells with her, she just died outright.

It would’ve been fine if she had been top lane, but as a jungler, her death had a huge impact on the game.

It was a mistake, ah, this is bad.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Just diving right in without care]

[Just spinning around, huh]

[+HurryAndLeave: Yep, that’s Glim ㅇㅇ..]

[Pepe: Glim isn’t that great at Reore anyway ㅋㅋ]

[But at least she’s hitting with auto-attacks, what’s with the complaining?]

[Auto-attacks (currently messing up)]

[Please, just carry already…]

[What’s the point of asking for a carry, as long as she’s not messing things up, we’ll be lucky ㅋㅋ]

As the mood continued to worsen, just then.

[You have slain an enemy!]

Our mid laner got a solo kill.

And that was with the enemy jungler in the area.

“Whoa.”

It was like a refreshing rain after a drought.

A solo kill, and without any help from the team.

Just as I was thinking how impressive that was—

[All] [Paranmanjang] [LeBlanc]: Can you actually play properly?

[All] [Paranmanjang] [LeBlanc]: Seriously, this is so frustrating.

[All] [Paranmanjang] [LeBlanc]: There’s no lane that’s doing well except bot.

The mid laner dropped a harsh truth bomb.

“Hah…”

—What.

Honestly, they were right.

Aside from bot and mid, no one was playing properly.

It was a bit awkward for us to say it ourselves, so we kept quiet about it, but our teammate said it openly.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[But honestly, they couldn’t have said it any other way.]

[If I were them, I’d say the same ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[+HurryAndLeave: Do they not realize we’re streaming?]

[Looks like they don’t ㅋㅋ]

[Pepe: If the top is Ryu Arim and the jungle is Glim, that’s a disaster.]

Maybe this would make everyone wake up.

That thought crossed my mind just as.

“Okay, I’ll actually play properly now.”

Glim said this in a tone that sounded like she was serious.

[Title: Live Clip of Glim and Ryu Arim Getting Called Out ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Content: (CLIP) Getting called out is hilarious ㅋㅋ]

L: But both of them were so bad, there was nothing we could do ㅋㅋ

N: If they just messed up a little, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but they completely screwed it up.

N: Glim was the worst, seriously.

N: Ryu Arim was pretty bad too.

L: Looking at the match history, the opponent was super good though.

N: Ryu Arim?

N: Yeah, a lot of them were diamond players.

N: But seriously, what’s up with that red potion?

L: Maybe they knew we were streaming and were trying to call them out to get some attention for the stream?

N: Dude.

L: Seriously

[Title: Glim Awakens ON cccccc]

[Content: (CLIP) After hearing the criticism, Glim awakens ㅋㅋ]

L: Awakening (Planning to die continuously)

N: Hah, Glim is different when she gets triggered.

N: Glim has a pretty strong sense of pride, so if you push her a bit, she tries really hard ㅋㅋ

L: What’s with the sudden change in tone?

N: Looks like she really got triggered.

L: Please, awaken already, just stop dying.

N: Hah

N: Don’t bring this to Glim’s stream though, we’ll get banned…

[Title: Glim and Ryu Arim Duo Rampaging Through the Rift ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Content: (CLIP) This is insane, what happened all of a sudden? ㅋㅋ]

L: Some people only perform well when you insult them ㅋㅋ

N: Yeah, the ones who actually do well when you insult them… ㅋㅋ

L: Why didn’t they do this from the start?

N: Then the game wouldn’t have been fun, right?

N: I admit, it wasn’t fun ㅋㅋ

L: They only do well when they get insulted ㅋㅋ

L: But both of them weren’t bad at Reore originally ㅋㅋ

[Title: Glim Carries to End the Game ㅋㅋ]

[Content: (CLIP) I just worship them, GOAT.]

L: GOAT (Got completely destroyed at the start)

N: Hah

N: This guy!! :Momentum

N: What’s with the hate?

N: Don’t you know the strategy? :Underestimate

L: We won the game, that’s all that matters.

N: Hah, yeah.

L: If we had lost, Glim would’ve been so depressed.

N: She probably would’ve been pouting, wondering if it was her fault on her personal stream ㅋㅋ

N: This is some real Reore knowledge right here.

L: But still, she carried us, let’s have a drink ㅋㅋ

N: Surprisingly, she really did carry us…

The next day.

I woke up early.

The reason was simple.

“Because I have to go directly to the event venue.”

I needed to go to the venue and discuss how we were going to set everything up.

You might wonder why I’m involved in something like this, but since I was already in charge, I wanted to do my best, so I asked the company for permission.

Fortunately, the company agreed.

“By the way, did you know how to drive?”

“Uh, I just got my license not too long ago, but I can drive.”

That was surprising.

I never thought she’d even get a license.

I thought that was kind of interesting as I opened the jelly pack.

“Can I have one too?”

“Here.”

Oh, Ryu Arim was also there.

She must’ve been tired from staying up late playing games yesterday, but she still came out with me.

I felt like I should buy her lunch today.

Thinking that, I wondered how long we had been driving.

“Here we are.”

“Wow.”

We had finally arrived at the venue.

Of course, nothing had started yet, but…

I looked around, thinking how amazing it was.

Just then.

“Ah, you’re here?”

An employee from the company we had seen earlier approached us.

It seemed like they had arrived early to wait for us.

“Did you wait long?”

“No, not really.”

“Good thing, I almost feel bad if you had to wait too long.”

We chatted like that and moved into the venue together.

“Are the people next to you the ones you’re working with?”

“Yeah, that’s right. We’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Ah, I see.”

As we walked a bit further, we were finally able to enter the venue’s interior.

“Wow…”

The inside of the venue was huge.

I thought to myself, Could we fill a place like this with the art we’ve made?

It was impressive, and as I glanced around, I noticed something familiar.

A very large panel had been set up in one corner of the room.

A character I knew was standing there.
