Chapter 73: The Semester is Starting Soon

“Ah, everyone, do you know about this?”

[?]

[+HurryAndLeave: What are you talking about?]

[Did something happen with Hame’s company?]

[I don’t think anything happened though.]

[Pepe: If something happened, they wouldn’t be donating like that.]

[Wait, didn’t they say something last time?]

After teasing the topic, I waited for the viewers to make their guesses for a moment before revealing what happened today.

“I went to the event venue today and checked how we were going to set up the panels. The venue is huge.”

[Oh, really?]

[+HurryAndLeave: Where is the venue?]

[+HurryAndLeave: It’d be great if it’s a big place.]

[Hame’s not really a major game though.]

[Maybe it’s in Ilsan?]

[How could Hame fill up Ilsan? ᄉᄇᄏᄏ]

[Pepe: Hame’s recognition is pretty low these days, what’s with the disrespect?]

Since it seemed like the viewers didn’t know where it was, I pulled up a map online and pinpointed the exact location.

“It’s in Ilsan. Heart Memorial decided to go big and booked it here.”

[+HurryAndLeave: Seriously?]

[That’s insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Can they really gather 2,000 people?]

[Pepe: Still, Hame’s recognition is high these days, so it might be possible.]

[It’s in Seoul, so it should be fine.]

[Why do I feel like it’ll be empty though…]

Reading the chat, I could tell some viewers were a little worried.

It made sense.

Heart Memorial wasn’t exactly a game that was well-known to the public yet.

But.

“It’ll be fine, I think. And you should come! This isn’t just about making money; it’s an event. They’re holding it in an event format.”

While they would be selling some merchandise at the venue, from what I gathered in the discussion, it didn’t seem like it was going to be a big moneymaker.

The event seemed more like a test to see how many people Heart Memorial could gather for it.

[What?]

[+HurryAndLeave: If I go, will you at least buy me food?]

[Why buy food? ᄉᄇᄏᄏ]

[Just eat at home, you crazy people…]

[Bo-nin 163cm 78kg, am I too fat to come?]

[Pepe: Maybe the fat one should stay home and rest ᄋᄋ…]

[Whoa]

“What’s the big deal if someone gains weight? If they want to come, they should come.”

Personally, I don’t think badly of people who have gained weight.

No one gains weight on purpose, after all.

[Ka]

[+HurryAndLeave: This is it.]

[This is what a real streamer is like ᄋᄋ…]

[Heart X Memorial has donated 10,000 won!]

We’re working hard to prepare, so if you come, we’ll make sure you don’t regret it! Hope you visit us!

[Will you at least give me a kiss if I come?]

[Heart X Memorial: It’s possible!]

[??]

[?]

[Lesbians… ?]

[Why? ᄉᄇ]

After talking a bit more about the event, I got back into the medieval game.

The goal for today was the medieval game, after all.

“Alright, I’m going to progress the story a bit. I feel like I haven’t made much progress because I’ve been wandering around here and there.”

[+HurryAndLeave: Yeah, there was definitely a bit of that ᄏᄏ]

[Progress the story quickly ᄀᄀ]

[Honestly, the side quests are more fun.]

[Pepe: Side quests are definitely more fun… ᄏᄏ]

[Let’s finish the main story and then go do the side quests.]

[The side quests are the real fun, though.]

Since everyone was hoping for side quests, I decided to progress the main story seriously.

If I didn’t make enough progress in the main story, I’d have trouble continuing the side quests, no matter how much I wanted to.

I didn’t want to experience that frustrating feeling of enjoying the game and then suddenly losing momentum.

So, I began pushing forward with the main story.

[Title: Yotte, is this real?]

[Content: (CLIP) I can’t even, this is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

L: I mean, it’s the main story, so shouldn’t you take it seriously? ㅋㅋ

L: Seriously.

L: You can see the main story anywhere else, let’s have a drink.

N: A stream that only does side quests is super rare, you know.

N: Side quests are way more fun, haha.

L: But is it really okay to just rush through like this..? It feels a bit off…

N: If you think it’s off, go watch another stream, haha.

N: Yot-te’s stream is like this.

N: It’s his stream, so let him do what he wants, don’t tell him what to do.

[Title: Yotte Finishes the Main Quest in 3 Hours, Success! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Content: (CLIP) Already getting excited for the side quests, haha.]

L: Haha, finally doing the side quests.

L: I was messing around until you told me, haha.

N: Watch the whole stream, you idiot, haha.

N: But honestly, the main story is boring…

N: The main story in Kingdom Come is supposed to be fun, though. What’s going on?

L: Just how fun are these side quests that everyone’s talking about?

N: You’ll know when you try, haha, they’re super fun.

[Title: By the way, is anyone going to the Hame event? Seriously.]

[Content: I’m really curious, is anyone going? I’ll go because I saw Yotte promoting it, but is anyone else going?]

L: I’m definitely going.

L: Yotte said he’s going, so of course, I’m going.

N: Really?

N: Yeah, he said he was going last time.

N: Guess I’ll go and take pictures.

N: How can you take pictures if you don’t even know what Yotte looks like?

N: How many guys will be there anyway?

L: I’m planning to go, haha. It’s not far from where I live, so it should be fine.

N: Totally okay, haha.

[Title: ᄋᄒ) Reasons to Go to the Hame Event…jpg]

[Content: (Photo) oo… you absolutely have to go, haha.]

L: Wow

L: Wow, the chest

N: Dude.

N: Is this person Korean…?

N: Yeah, it’s Thor after all.

N: So, it’s ᄋᄌᄋ ㅋㅋ

L: Is this level of exposure even allowed…?

N: They wore that, so it’s allowed.

L: But people wear stuff like that, so how will Yot-te show up at the event?

N: ᄅᄋ I feel like I’d throw up.

N: Gotta do the work, though.

N: I don’t think they’d even notice people like that showing up.

[Title: Yotte Streaming for 13 Hours Straight ᄃᄃᄃᄃᄃ cccccc]

[Content: (CLIP) Still having fun, haha. Seems like he really hates the semester starting.]

L: I’d hate it too.

L: Which college student actually likes the start of the semester? Haha.

L: I used to think you were really cold and calculating, but now that I know you’re just an average college student, I like you even more ᄅᄋ

N: Average

N: Average (Balancing full-time work, streaming, and school)

N: When you list it like that, it’s pretty cool…

L: So when do you think they’ll come tomorrow?

N: I don’t think they’ll come, haha.

[Title: Personal Opinion) Kingdom Come is absolutely boring]

[Content: (Photo of Lusha staring at the screen) ᄅᄋ It’s so boring, I don’t get why I’m doing this.]

L: Lusha’s honest review ᄏᄏ

L: This is a real harsh review ᄏᄏ

L: By the way, what’s Lusha doing these days?

N: Probably eating by now.

N: Eating is important, after all…

After streaming for a long 14 hours, I started to feel my body getting tired.

It made sense.

It wasn’t just because I had been streaming all day, but I had also gone to the event venue early in the morning.

“Yawn…”

I couldn’t help but yawn, and my eyes were starting to close slowly.

[+HurryAndLeave: You should rest for a bit.]

[Oo, you streamed for so long today, haha.]

[The stream was definitely not bad.]

[You should take a break.]

[Pepe: At this point, I think you’ve done enough for the side quests.]

[You can always do more tomorrow, so it’s fine to wrap up today.]

“Alright, I’ll stop for today, I’m getting a bit tired.”

I had no choice but to ask the viewers for their understanding.

Looking at the chat, it seemed like they didn’t mind too much.

[Bye-bye]

[+HurryAndLeave: Good job.]

[Take it slow tomorrow, haha.]

[You were always told to stream longer, now no one’s pushing you, haha.]

[Pepe: You can’t tell them to hurry up tomorrow when you’ve already done this much today.]

[If you tell them to hurry, that’s just immoral, haha.]

“See you tomorrow, everyone.”

After saying that, I ended the stream.

[The broadcast has ended!]

“O…”

After turning off the stream, I immediately lay down on my bed and checked the messages that had come in.

‘Not many messages, huh?’

Well, it made sense.

Most of the things I had been putting off were already taken care of.

There wasn’t really any reason for anyone to contact me.

“Yawn.”

As I yawned and was about to close my eyes.

Ding!

A message came in.

From someone very familiar.

[Seolhwa Oppa]

[Seolhwa: Are you planning to come to the studio today?]

[We need to talk about the concert.]

A concert-related message.

I remembered her saying before that she wanted to do something together at a concert.

I was curious about what it was this time, so I quickly replied.

[Me: I’ll sleep a little first.]

[I’m too tired right now.]

Normally, I would’ve left immediately, but today I was incredibly tired.

After sending the message, I quickly drifted off to sleep.
