Chapter 160
The fight with Seo Eun-ha ended about a few days after Mark time had passed.
Fighting day and night, it was like we were martial arts masters.
“Let’s call it a day here.”
[…Understood.]
We fought so messily that the chat had nothing but kill logs from me and Seo Eun-ha.
There were instances where others got dragged into it, but anyway.
Now, we had roughly established a hierarchy, and it was over.
Well, we didn’t have much time, anyway.
Since it was a collaboration, we couldn’t keep fighting forever.
Still, it wasn’t all for nothing.
The crucial part was that I could drop the formalities.
I realized while getting a respawn kill earlier that since Seo Eun-ha is my junior and younger than me, there was no reason to keep the formal tone, so I unilaterally notified her and dropped it.
“…So how do we build the house?”
[Ah, we were building a house?]
“What… how could you forget that?”
[Ah, no.]
– You killed me, though, haha!
– Seriously, we fought for an hour straight, haha!
– But we won, right?
Yeah, according to the chat, I won.
My junior may have landed some hits, but in the end, I killed more, didn’t I?
There was a moment when my wooden axe broke, but Seo Eun-ha’s sword broke too.
We killed each other barehanded, gathered wood to make swords, and Roa briefly stepped outside to throw us an iron sword, and so on…
Anyway, it’s peaceful now, so that’s good.
[Shall we go mining now? We’re kind of late compared to the others…?]
As Seo Eun-ha said, the others had already started mining and were gradually coming out to build houses based on abundant resources.
Even if it’s a long-term content on a constantly open server, something needs to come out in today’s official collaboration, right?
Unless we’re going to come with swords and snatch resources, we need to gather some too.
In that case…
“Then Eun-ha, let’s go into the mine.”
[Huh?]
“Let’s divide the tasks.”
We both missed the timing to chit-chat and mine together, didn’t we?
“Do you like cabins?”
[Cabins? Uh… I do?]
“I’ll gather wood and find a foundation for the house, so you focus on mining iron.”
– hahahahaha
– What are you getting at
– Only at times like this, lol
– Information: I was slaughtering earlier with my axe
Was I a bit harsh saying that?
But honestly, I thought this was the best way.
Besides, wouldn’t I be better at spotting a foundation than Seo Eun-ha?
[Okay…!]
“…Alright.”
Fortunately, Seo Eun-ha went along with what I said without saying much, as if she hadn’t just swung a sword moments earlier.
Well… I’m just glad she listened.
Thus, we officially started our division of labor and headed off to do our respective tasks.
I also mined a bit of iron in a nearby cave to make an iron axe and headed for the surrounding forest.
“Let’s do some logging.”
– Sorry for the environment, ugh
– How much wood should we gather?
“Wood? Uh, as much as possible?”
Because in Minecraft, more trees are always better.
Still, to organize a rough estimate, I searched for Minecraft cabins first and took a look.
So this is how it’s done.
“There are a lot of pretty ones, right?”
– For real
– Those are unexpectedly difficult, haha
– Can you actually do that?
“Me? Oh, I can definitely make it prettier.”
Who is that female Kim Soo-hyun, anyway?
After all, I got into a design program at university.
I even did some 3D design in my first year, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
I chopped trees until my inventory was sufficiently filled.
“Eun-ha, are you mining iron well?”
[Yeah!]
“Wow, you’re doing great.”
[Th-thank you!]
“By the way, why were you swinging the sword earlier?”
[….]
Of course, we exchanged a few words with my junior during the process.
Isn’t that the charm of collaborations?
But seriously, why was she swinging that sword earlier?
That’s a mystery left in my mind.
I’m not trying to blame her; I’m just genuinely curious.
“Try telling me.”
[W-well… it’s because a viewer gave me a mission.]
Ah.
So, at the perfect timing, a viewer threw in a mission.
“Getting paid to stab your senior….”
[Th-that’s…?]
It’s still something, though, to get a mission and stab your senior…
[A-Aren’t you the one who killed me on a mission too?]
“Uh? Ah, right.”
– ??
– hahahahaha
– Did I?
– Information: Nope
Anyway.
Now that I gathered some wood, I headed toward the respawn location.
I was told to build a house nearby, so I needed to keep an eye on the surroundings.
“Looks like everyone has built quite a bit more than I expected, huh?”
The other members had already set up their spots and were busy building.
– Yeah, yeah
– You guys are quite late
– Right? You told us to fight, haha!
“Better to start slow than rush and finish well, right?”
– You wish, LOL
– Sigh
– Just try building first
– The collab is going to end
“Don’t worry.”
I already had enough thoughts while chopping wood.
As I looked around the area, I went towards a dense forest, though it was a bit far off.
– Where are you going??
– Don’t you have to build nearby?
“Just wait a moment. There’s a spot I want.”
There’s a specific place I have in mind.
It may be a bit further from where others are building, but it’s not too far.
While rummaging through the forest, I found a pretty nice spot.
There was a large lake nearby, and the surrounding terrain wasn’t bad either.
It had a few parts I didn’t like, but Seo Eun-ha could take care of those when she came over later.
“This place is nice. Doesn’t it look like a peaceful lake in a music video?”
– Hmm…
– Is it really that good?
– It does look nice, yeah.
With the chat’s positive response, I quickly settled down and started working.
First, I cleared all the trees around the foundation, then planted saplings in a fairly acceptable spot.
I didn’t plan to build something massive, but I realized Minecraft houses tend to take up a lot of space.
– Looks pro
– Have you played Minecraft before?
– You seemed to know what you were doing when you were fighting earlier.
“Am I not a pro? Just watch.”
As I set down the groundwork, time flew by.
[I’ve gathered everything!]
“Then come to the coordinates.”
Seo Eun-ha, who had gone into the mine, returned with loads of iron.
[Is this it? Wow, it’s beautiful.]
“Right? But doesn’t it look even better if we add a small stream over there?”
[Oh, yes! A little flowing stream would be nice.]
I’m glad she agrees that it looks nice.
Seo Eun-ha made a ton of buckets from the iron she mined and put them in the chest.
“Take this and go get some water.”
[…Huh?]
– What a crazy girl, haha!
– She’s not a junior anymore; she’s a slave, lol
– Well, if the senior tells you to do it, you have to, haha!
[Hmph.]
Seo Eun-ha grumbled as she took the buckets and went to the lake, and then we began to build the foundation in earnest.
“Hey guys, do you know what the most important thing in Minecraft building is?”
– ??
– What is it?
– Acting like a pro, no thanks
“It’s the appearance!”
Unlike real architecture, we don’t need to delve into details like supports and whatnot.
No matter what blocks you use, just make sure it looks good.
And isn’t that just like drawing?
“Just watch. Our building is going to be the prettiest.”
Size and practicality? Who cares?
I’m full of confidence.
“Now, let’s really begin….”
Ding—
But just then.
Someone entered the voice chat room where Seo Eun-ha and I were talking.
Who is it?
As I tried to check what was going on…
[Time’s up! Everyone come to the group channel!]
I heard Anna’s voice.
Huh?
Is it over already?
– hahahahaha
– What are you looking at? It’s already over, haha!
– Wait, is it really over?
– Yeah, it’s over, lol
Checking the time, it really was the end.
Uh… did I take too long logging and finding a foundation?
[Uh… it’s over?]
Seo Eun-ha, who had just started to fill her bucket with water, asked in a confused voice.
She didn’t realize it either.
“…Let’s head back.”
Before turning my back to the predetermined respawn location, I looked at today’s results.
It was nothing but a half-hearted structure barely piled up with blocks around.
– lol
– This is what we accomplished in three hours?
– Seriously, what did you guys do today?
“We can come back later.”
Isn’t this an open server?
When we’re bored, we can just hop in and build.
So I took a deep breath and headed back to the respawn location.
Since I chose a spot a bit far, by the time Seo Eun-ha and I got back, everyone had gathered.
Walking into the Discord group chat…
[Today was fun!]
[Next time….]
[Earlier, Roa-senpai was….]
[Anna-senpai, that thing….]
A very lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Wow, it seems like everyone has gotten quite close.
However, Seo Eun-ha and I weren’t to be underestimated either.
“Eun-ha.”
[…Yeah?]
“How was today for you?”
– How was it, though? lol
– “The worst senior”
– Getting beaten all day, going to the mine, and trying to make a stream, ugh
“Hey, don’t slander me.”
Hey, isn’t it just necessary for these people if our Eun-ha feels satisfied?
[It was… good.]
“See? She says it’s good.”
– ugh
– Eun-ha hates her senior…
– The others seem to be getting along, tho
“Our vibes are good too.”
Did I only have her do the work, though?
I got hit and worked too.
These people are putting the blame on my junior unfairly.
Just then, while I was exchanging a few words with Seo Eun-ha.
Anna stepped forward and spoke up.
[Okay, then shall we take a look at the results of today?]
– Huh?
– hahahahaha
– This is bad
– What’ll we do now?
“….”
Results?
We don’t have anything like that.
[Let’s start with the garden that our junior Gan and I were building!]
However, I had no capability to stop Anna.
Time passed relentlessly.
[Now let’s take a look at Miro and Seo Eun-ha junior’s house.]
Anna hesitated because she saw the chat log, but it was already spilled milk.
[Wow, the surroundings are so pretty! You found a great spot!]
Anna tried to compliment the vacant lot between the forest, but the more she praised it, the more my head sunk.
– hahahahaha
– FML
– So embarrassing
– Why did the heavens give me Miro…!
– Yeah, why did we fight?
“….”
This time, I truly had no words.
Thus, the first group collab of the first generation of the Celestial Realm came to an end.
**
After the collab ended.
As each of us dispersed to begin our individual broadcasts.
[E-Eun-ha, senior.]
Seo Eun-ha called out to me for a moment.
“Huh?”
[I-I have something to ask.]
What is it?
Ah, is she acting like this because of our fight earlier?
Well, for a junior, it might be something to dwell on.
Even though it was just a game and a joke, we did engage in a real fight.
“Ah, don’t worry about me fighting earlier; I’m generous to the losers.”
– Losers, ugh
– Classic senior behavior
– Today, you had no day without embarrassment
[Th-that’s not it.]
Isn’t that it? Just as I was thinking, Seo Eun-ha sent me a personal message.
“Ah?”
[It’s, uh, for private slander….]
Oh no, talking behind people’s backs is what you do after the broadcast ends.
This would just make the viewers even more curious, wouldn’t it?
Even now, the chat is spamming questions.
Thinking that she’s still a rookie, I read the message Seo Eun-ha sent.
[Seo Eun-ha: Was it you, Miro-senpai, who met with the overall manager the other day…? After seeing you today, I thought it was you, but if not, I’m sorry…]
“Hmm…”
After reading the message, I was momentarily speechless.
…How was I found out?
[Is… is it you?]
As I couldn’t respond immediately, Seo Eun-ha asked me timidly for confirmation.
Getting caught is surprising, but… well, it’s not like it was Harbin who found out.
So it should be fine with Seo Eun-ha.
“Yeah.”
I answered her willingly.
[Ahhh!]
Immediately after, a scream that could almost send chills down my spine came from the receiver.
Thinking about it, while it’s a tough memory for me, it’s probably even more embarrassing for Seo Eun-ha.
Since she had praised Miro in front of Miro herself.
– ???
– What’s wrong with her?
– Is something going on?
I shook my head to the viewers’ questions.
“I don’t know.”
I have no idea what’s going on.
