– Isn’t it your first time writing a broadcast notice, Teacher?

– Our Na-me has finally turned over a new leaf!

└ If only it weren’t for her age, I would have given her a solid slap on the head…

└ You can hit her? Hahaha!

– September is really different, NoName!

– I genuinely thought she would never come backㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– If possible, it would be great if you could stick to your promise of 3 broadcasts over the next week starting today.

– But it seems like you forgot to mention the broadcast time? So when does it start?

└ You just went live right now, right? Hahahahahaha!

└ Then what was the point of making the announcement? Hahaha!

└ “Anyway, I keep my promises.”

– The TGDD channel is still up.

└ V-v I’m going on air!

[Just Chatting – What is a Sword?]

[Broadcast Time – 0:01:37]

[Number of Viewers – 1094]

Today, since I’m with a group, we have to play the opening song just once.

To give Emika various real-world experiences, we entered a nearby PC Bang and found our seats.

Last year, the ‘Gung PC Bang’ I lived in packed capsules were everywhere, but here, the rooms were separated like a karaoke place.

Emika’s attendants changed out of their black suits into comfortable white uniforms and relaxed on the cozy sofa.

– I feel like I’m going crazy, I feel like I’m going crazy, I feel like I’m going crazy.

– Listening to it is heartwarming, huh? Kariri’s voice is just dizzying! Hahaha!

└ Isn’t that something you shouldn’t say on NoName’s stream~?

– Just how much did you sing at the beginning of the stream that you have a new song every day?

– There’s still one more step left, there’s still one more step left.

The viewers expressed their excitement in various ways.

Before long, it became normal for the audience to gather in four-digit numbers as soon as the broadcast started.

I’d tried soaking in a bit of reflection, but there wasn’t time for that now.

As soon as the song ended, I joined the voice channel.

“Huh, huh. Hello. It feels like it’s been a while. Nice to meet you.”

[‘Allahu Akbar’ donated 100,000 won!]

– There’s no god but NoName, and Adella is NoName’s apostle.

– Wow!

– The first donation is already so dizzying, hahaha!

– Speak your mind!!!

– Can’t you call our fans ‘cults’?

– The chat will soon be filled with foreigners.

– Are you okay, Na-me?

– Our evil room leader, always the same even after getting bombed…

└ Please don’t lose your initial intent, streamer number one.

– Some comments are crossing the line, start being careful.

– Thank goodness it didn’t go off in the middle; if it had, we wouldn’t be able to laugh like this.

└ For real; I’d be destroyed…

– Na-me is a national treasure… gotta treat her with care…

It’s clear that many were worried about me because of the bomb incident.

Even after that, days were rough, with various copycat crimes leading to Twish banning fan gifts, but eventually, the media stopped reporting under government control, and society seemed to return to normal.

“We’ve had tough times in many ways. But as you would’ve seen in the video, I’m okay, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

Slowly, the managers started logging in to tidy up the chat.

Some of them clearly have their own jobs, but I’m amazed they can come in as soon as I start broadcasting.

I’m not one to stretch greetings, so I gave a very brief overview of how life has been for me lately.

“Recently, there was a parents’ open class, and aside from that, nothing special happened. Same as usual.”

– Wow~

– How is a friend of NoName? Hahaha!

– I’m so jealous of Na-me’s father!

– Honestly, I think we should distribute one Na-me per household.

– Top-notch welfare ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

[‘daylight0830’ donated 20,000 won!]

– Is Na-me participating in the interschool competition?

– Of course, I have to!

– Bring on the ground broadcast cheat key! Hahaha!

– Oh, it’s you, sis~

– From now on, ‘streaming > movies & dramas’, remember that!

– What the… Genius Discovery Team’s V-tube view count is already at ten million, are you kidding me? Hahaha!

– If the opponent is the world’s strongest eight-year-old, that’s a bit scary.

└ Just a bit? If Na-me rushes in with healing, I’d probably pee my pants…

“Ah, I’m not going to the interschool competition. I can’t go now.”

– ????

– As expected, it’s health…

– Ah…ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Don’t get sickㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Oh noㅠ Still feeling unwell?

– Did you develop a trauma…?

– I’ll curse those Valpurgis sheep77.

[‘Gunreborn2’ donated 1,000 won!]

– Last time, I just returned my sick leave. What’s vacation when it comes to protecting Na-me?

“Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, Gunreborn2. Ah, it’s not for that reason…”

I wondered if this is what Emika felt when she called the leader.

Having to articulate the reason myself felt really burdensome and most of all, embarrassing.

But then, it would just be the military benefiting from it, making it impossible to hide the truth.

Vacation is important.

“I have a height restriction…”

– ???

– Height restriction?

– What height?

– Height?

– Is that a thing?

“Hah… I’m not over 120 centimeters, yeah.”

“Huh!”

Emika, waiting off-screen, burst into laughter at my words.

Whoosh

The wind sounds reached my mic directly, broadcasted live.

Why are you laughing, sis?

W-well… it’s funny…!

Is my height funny? Just blow the stream up today?

No, I’m sorry!

Emika joined her hands together to apologize.

Her twitching eyebrow felt a bit untrustworthy, but I let it slide with good favor.

Looking back at the chat, it seemed like a swarm of bees without a queen.

– You’re not over 120cm?

– Kids nowadays are that short?

– N-no, first graders are around 120, Na-me is really small.

– Wow… I was about to joke but I just faced reality.

– Usually we don’t see below the waist, so I didn’t know. I really couldn’t imagine it.

└ She’s got perfect proportions, perfect features, that’s why.

└ Right, I thought she was at least 130?

– A height restriction means she can’t compete. Hahaha! Am I the only one finding this hilarious? Hahaha!

– Who was that voice next to you?

– Height of the legendary 110cm! Hahaha!

– Does she weigh over 20kg?

– I feel like I just heard a similar laugh.

“Actually, I’ve invited a guest today. This is also the purpose of my broadcast, so I hope you’ll welcome her warmly.”

I gestured for Emika to sit next to me.

Since there was no outfit similar to Emika’s uniform in reality, I put her in a taekwondo costume for the broadcast.

Since the red and black belts were sold for money, she had to wear the yellow belt. But anyway, the color of the belt isn’t that big of a deal.

“Hello, Korean viewers…! I am Katsuhata Emika from the Katsuhata Sect. Please take good care of me.”

“I’ll just call you Emika on the stream.”

“Yeah, if it’s Na-me’s stream, do whatever you want.”

“That’s just common sense. Viewers may not know it well, but in Japan, Emika is somewhat recognized when walking down the street.”

“Me? It’s not just a bit…”

“So today’s content is ‘Defeat Emika’. For every victory, you’ll get a reward: 1 victory is a coffee, 2 victories is a hamburger, and 3 victories is a chicken gifticon.”

[‘asdfqwer’ donated 10,000 won!]

– You’re starting the broadcast just 5 seconds after inviting such a legendary guest? Hahaha!

[NoName) A streamer whose daily life is a legend][48]

Now, it feels like there’s a strong determination that ordinary broadcasts are not an option anymore. Hahaha!

In a tournament, they summoned the daughter of a long-standing family, who is harder to find than the emperor! Hahaha!

(Emika Katsuhata entrance scene.gif)

But why is she wearing a taekwondo outfit?

[Comments]

– Who is this nerd?

– (Author): She’s a super famous young wizard in Japan.

– So is she more famous than Kariri?

└ She’s a hundred, a thousand times more famous than Kariri, Hahaha!

└ No way, Kariri is Korean!

└ I’m sorry, I might forget.

– Didn’t she just get listed as a dangerous generation in Switzerland recently? I think I saw it in the news.

└ “Great” generation, huh?

└ Ah, since it’s “great,” it’s dangerous, for real! Hahaha!

– In Japan, they say she’s more famous than most singers or idols, is that true?

└ Yes, she’s almost at the level of a national singer.

└ You could think of her as a world-class star right before her big break.

– Undergoing mental reshaping as a Korean ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

[Hamburger Saviors Hahaha!][55]

(Proof of gifticon.jpg)

Though I faced a disappointing loss with 2 wins and 3 losses, I’m still going to enjoy my hamburger~

Who knows, maybe I had some talent if I went to the academy?

So, who am I?

(League of Legends Kim Dong-hyuk vs Katsuhata Emika.gif)

A guy who has beaten Katsuhata Emika twice, Hahaha!

What the heck? We fought with the same specs but I shouldn’t have held back?

[Comments]

– How did you do that, you scum?

– What’s your tier?

└ (Author): Master 300 points, Top-tier Grandmaster.

– Isn’t it more impressive that Emika, who’s new to Wagal, managed to beat a Master?

└ (Author): What are you talking about? She’s a proper pro who lives off of sword skills!

└ I’m just a regular player, there’s no need to compare, right?

└ Okay, that’s bragging, Hahaha!

└ My greatest achievement was competing against a middle school kid! Hahaha!

– How did you win? Share your secret for my chicken challenge.

└ (Author): Equip two prosthetic arms and hit them with a four-style technique. They get confused!

└ But those prosthetics felt like worms crawling inside me; I just couldn’t wear them…

[Don’t Ever Underestimate Korea!(Korean Flag Flying)]

After the Wagal summer finals wrapped up, there was a break with only Anime World Cup events, so I quit the gallery. But truly, NoName, who planned this kind of event, deserves a kiss (just kidding).

(Veixel vs Katsuhata Emika result screen.jpg)

Do you see this 3-0 clean sweep?

I just crushed the Japan-Korea battle.

[Comments]

– Japan failed! Hahaha!

– Please quit the Wagal already;;

– I thought it was a fake but it turned out to be real! What the heck!

– You’re a pro, right? Hahaha!

– If I write this, I won’t get penalized by the club, right?

└ (Author): Is our Wagal embarrassed?

└ Honestly, a little…?

└ (Author): …

– I was a live listener, if it were real, you’d be head-butted like crazy, you sneaky person.

└ A shameful self-portrait Hahaha!

└ Emika clearly broke down mentallyㅠㅠ

– Even if you’re a reality powerhouse, it’s different in front of a pro gamer, Hahaha!

– Bam! You’re so cool, Halmae~~

└ (Author): You should give it a go too? If your rank is around Diamond, you could at least get a win!

“Unbelievable…”

Splash

Thick raindrops hit Emika’s nose.

Emika could hardly lift her head, staring at the wet ground.

The weapon she used, just like the wooden sword, had already been thrown far away.

As Emika clenched her fists, sticky mud squeezed between her nails.

“Thank you for your efforts, Emika. As expected, you really have talent.”

An opponent reached out a hand to help her up.

With her dirty hands, she couldn’t bring herself to shake hands.

And just as her hands were dirty, her pride was now covered in muck.

Surprisingly, she quickly got used to virtual reality.

She felt like her body was lighter than in reality, and she could show her peak performance.

Early on, she wondered if Na-me’s training was really effective as she continued winning streaks.

But the result was 31 wins, 15 losses.

With a winning rate below 70%, she was disheartened.

“Is it really true that I have talent…?”

Emika grew anxious.

Everyone kept saying she had talent, but her recent results kept contrasting with that view.

“Of course you do! Normally, beginners who meet a whip for the first time can’t fight back and lose, but you managed to win a set!”

In that case, her opponent must also be facing Katsuhata swordsmanship for the first time.

A one-on-one mode fought with equal stats by the system.

In reality, all she could do was use aura better than others since she had been born with that talent, she realized.

“Ah…”

All the efforts she’d poured in as a sword user felt dismissed.

Hours spent stabbing training dummies, and practice walking across a narrow bridge with her eyes closed.

Since she was told from birth that she had innate talent, she hoped the public would recognize the efforts she had put in beyond that.

But what if she didn’t have talent?

What if she was born with the same ordinary body as everyone else?

31 wins, 15 losses.

“That’s my limit…”

“Emika.”

Finally, Na-me, who organized the event, stood up.

Each time she stepped forward with her short legs, her cute rubber boots thudded against the ground.

[▶Main Custom – Unlocked]

[▶Custom 1 – Equipped]

Countless fireflies wrapped around her body.

The vibrant sunlight began to emanate from her irises.

Adding a whole lower body to her original form meant she now stood taller.

Each click of her high heels, which exceeded the height of the puddle, made her shiny blonde hair sway.

Finally, confronting Emika, the lady donned in a pristine white dress pulled a sharp sword from her waist and spoke.

“Don’t lose yourself.”

The silver-white Skiabona slowly moved, pointing at Emika from head to toe.

Emika was very weak against variable attacks.

In one-on-one scenarios, she could only fall victim to creative tactics formed by users dedicated to this for years.

Reality was even more complicated than this.

There was only one way to confidently respond to such uncertainties.

“Drop everything but yourself.”

She could only tear down the tower of knowledge and experience she had built up.
