The title was definitely eye-catching.
“Is Yot-te featuring on Rage’s album?”
It was a title that seemed like someone who knew my identity had written it.
So, I decided to respond casually.
“Is Rage the same person I know? What do you mean I’m featuring? I don’t have that kind of talent.”
I added a bit of modesty too.
[+HurryAndLeave: There’s no way they’d do that, haha.]
[+HurryAndLeave: I don’t really believe it either.]
[+HurryAndLeave: But the voice sounds very similar ã…‹ã…‹]
Looking at the chat, it seemed like there were people who believed it and others who didn’t.
It made sense.
[Title: Is Yot-te featuring on Rage’s album?]
[Content: (Video) I swear it sounds like a feature, haha. Am I the only one who thinks this?]
The voice in the video posted with the article sounded so similar to mine. But I couldn’t acknowledge it.
‘If I admit it, things are going to get complicated.’
I didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention to myself.
With that thought, I continued speaking.
“I do know Rage personally, but we’re not close enough for me to feature on a song. Maybe if I could sing well, I’d consider it.”
Personally, I didn’t think I was a great singer.
I was average, but it would be a bit awkward to call myself a professional singer.
[+HurryAndLeave: So we’ll just assume it’s not true then.]
[It never really made sense, haha.]
[How did a streamer controversy turn into a singer feature controversy? ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹]
[What a joke.]
[Pepe: If it really happens later, though…]
[Pepe: Make sure to mention it!]
“Ah, if it happens, I’ll let you know. There’s no reason to hide it.”
Well, I said that, but I honestly had no intention of mentioning it unless the viewers found solid proof.
“Anyway, if I keep at it today, I think I can finish the medieval game soon. So, I’m going to push hard today.”
Originally, my goal was to finish the game before the semester started, but with all the delays, it couldn’t be helped.
I needed to see the ending today.
[+HurryAndLeave: Kyah.]
[Nice.]
[Isn’t the main story almost done?]
[Yeah]
[Pepe: As far as I remember, I think you’ve completed most of the story.]
[Just need to finish the last ending, haha.]
I had almost finished the story.
If I focused, I could wrap it up in less than two hours.
I had just been wandering around for side quests.
“I’m going to go for it. If anyone needs water, now’s the time to get it.”
With that, I started the game in full focus.
Crash!
“Finally got him. I thought it would take until part 3.”
[+HurryAndLeave: Seriously]
[It wouldn’t have been surprising if it had gone to part 3.]
[Why isn’t part 3 coming out?!]
[Pepe: It’s strange they haven’t released a part 3 for such a successful game, haha.]
[The thief finally got cut! ᄉᄉ]
[Finally beat it.]
[The long medieval reign period is over… feels like a different era, haha.]
I had spent over forty hours playing to kill the thief who stole my late mother’s sword.
I put my heart into it.
“Feels bittersweet. I worked really hard for two weeks.”
Maybe because I had gotten so immersed in the game, but it felt sad for it to end like this.
I shook the feeling of sadness off and gave the fallen enemy one last swing with the mace before ending the game.
“Ugh… but it was fun.”
[It was fun, haha.]
[At this point, it deserves GOTY, haha.]
[+HurryAndLeave: It was the most fun game I’ve played so far, haha.]
[Now this is a game.]
[But what now?]
[It was so much fun, haha.]
After finishing the game, instead of jumping into another one, I went back to the café.
It felt a bit awkward to start a new game, given the time.
“I’ll browse the café for a bit, then I’ll end the stream. I’ve got plans tomorrow, so I’m sure you all have your schedules to prepare too.”
[+HurryAndLeave: Schedule?]
[Do you really have a schedule? Haha.]
[After the stream, you can watch football, that’ll work perfectly.]
[Honestly, I think Real Madrid will win, haha.]
[What’s this Lequidan surprise protest?]
[Pepe: These idiots are always talking about the Gal Cup everywhere.]
[The Gal Cup is the essence of humanity, after all.]
After saying that, I entered the café and started reading the posts the viewers had uploaded.
I had given my manager the authority to manage the café last time, and ever since, there had been a lot of quality posts.
It seemed like the low-quality posts were gone, and the overall content had improved.
I was curious how exactly my manager was managing things as I read through the posts.
[Yu-ki has donated 10,000 won!]
Reore 5-man queue? ᄀᄀᄀᄀᄀ
A surprising donation came in.
I was a bit caught off guard.
I didn’t expect to hear from them suddenly.
“Uh… Reore? Could you tell me the members? It’s a bit awkward to join if I don’t know them.”
Since Yu-ki mentioned it, it must be people I know, but I had to ask just to be sure.
A moment later, another donation came through.
[Yu-ki has donated 10,000 won!]
Glim, me, Ryu Arim, you, and Lusha, so five of us.
The lineup I had expected appeared—except for one person.
“Lusha?”
I had never spoken directly with Lusha, so I was a bit worried.
I had only seen memes of her floating around the café occasionally.
[No way, Lusha’s here, haha.]
[+HurryAndLeave: Lusha.]
[Are you trying to trick me right now?]
[Da Lusha.]
[Lusha’s actually here, haha.]
[Pepe: Can you explain logically what you did wrong? (In Lusha’s tone.)]
The chat was already in chaos.
It seemed like many viewers were familiar with Lusha.
Or maybe just the fact of her existence was funny.
“Then, please send me the invite. I’m a little nervous.”
I said that, and as soon as I entered Reore.
Ding!
The invite came right away.
I accepted it immediately.
Glim, honestly, that’s a bit disgusting…
Oh, what do you mean by that?
To someone as esteemed as me!
So, how much have you collected, do you know?
It was pure chaos.
Since everyone was a streamer, I knew the sound would be overwhelming, but when Glim and Lusha came together, it felt like the destructive power had increased.
‘Maybe this is just how it is normally.’
I thought cautiously, then opened my mouth.
“Ahem, hey everyone.”
I greeted them, and shortly after.
Ah, Yotte?
“Yeah.”
I only heard about you through rumors, I didn’t expect to be playing with you. Yu-ki said it might happen, but I wasn’t sure.
Lusha was the one who spoke.
Since it seemed like the only people who hadn’t met yet were me and Lusha, she probably spoke up to ease the tension.
By the way, last time, Glim totally wiped the floor with me. You’re really good at this game.
“Ah, it’s not that great. I just played like I normally do.”
This was the truth.
Even when I played one-on-one with Glim, I didn’t really put in my full effort most of the time.
[+HurryAndLeave: This sounds even more cruel, haha.]
[You beat her like that without even trying?]
[Poor Glim, haha.]
[Pepe: Glim gave her all, and this is just too much.]
[ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹]
[You should blame your own skills, haha.]
[This is hilarious, haha.]
Somehow, it turned into a situation where Glim’s skills were being put down, but I figured Glim would understand.
We had a good relationship, after all.
Alright, let’s move on.
Stop the donations now.
We’re here, so.
Lusha suddenly said something unexpected.
Wondering what it meant, I checked the chat and quickly figured it out.
“Ah, who donated?”
Originally, this wasn’t even supposed to happen, but the viewers wanted to see Yot-te play a game with you, so…
[Ka]
[This is it, haha.]
[+HurryAndLeave: I wanted to see you guys play together too, haha.]
[But if Lusha is calling you, then they must’ve donated a lot.]
[Oo, Lusha usually doesn’t move unless there’s a lot of donations, so they must’ve donated a lot.]
[Pepe: This is hilarious, haha.]
It made sense.
There was no way all these people would gather randomly.
In fact, when four people gathered before, it was already a pretty big deal.
Later, I found out that Yu-ki, or National, was known for only streaming when they felt like it.
Alright then, let’s decide the lineup.
And so, we officially started the 5-man queue.
Who knows how much more donations would come in after this.
