Chapter 181


[Is Miro trolling?]

This crazy girl is only picking off citizens, hahaha.

– For real, lol.

– What’s Miro doing?

– Just taking pictures, huh?

[Miro’s scary point…]

This guy is guaranteed to be a citizen because he succeeds in self-healing; if he gets political, he wins every time, hahaha.

– No kidding.

– That sounds really scary, lol.

– Being a guaranteed citizen makes him even scarier, hahaha.

– The mafia can’t even kill him, lol.

– You can’t help but get incited by this guy, hahaha.

[Viewing Miro from another person’s perspective]

(Anna’s perspective screenshot of Miro)

That look is terrifying as hell.

– Wow, seriously.

– Did Miro customize their character directly?

No, yeah, it’s just a rough pick from the basic characters.

No way it can look like that, what the hell.

– The hair is yellow…gold…

No way!!

No, she’s not slim, though?

No, heavy gold, lol.

[Miro, are you doing this on purpose?]

This is really annoying.

– It seems like it, what the hell.

– You can see she’s just playing around with her brain turned off.

– Sometimes she snickers, so it looks like she’s enjoying it.

No kidding…

[Looks like this girl is oblivious to everything.]

Since she won’t die, she acts all high and mighty, haha.

– A girl like Miro is the most dangerous in a mafia game, hahaha.

No kidding, for real.

You should stay far away from her, hahaha.

– Just a total troll.

– I hereby appoint her as joat today…

[Seo Eun-ha <— actually the main contributor to mafia success, I highly recommend, hahaha.]

Miro made a guaranteed citizen and wiped out the citizen team, hahaha.

- Seo Eun-ha didn't try to kill, haha.

No?! Really?

Yeah, for sure, hahaha. Someone else tried to kill, but Eun-ha got suspected.

Lol, damn.

Still, she was a mafia, right? Let’s have a drink, hahaha.

[Wow, damn, hahaha.]

‘Is it true that she’s my sister’s mafia?’

I didn’t expect Anna and Haeun to get into a fight like that.

- Isn’t this an experienced player?

No kidding, it’s intense.

- It’s a crazy girl, hahaha.

- She’s revealing the cat paw.

- Anna seems confused, hahaha.

[Discussion between Anna and Haeun, hahaha.]

If you can’t make the opponent a mafia, you die, terrifying.

- And there’s stupid Miro just spectating, lol.

- For real...

- This girl is just a viewer.

- Her occasional responses are annoying, hahaha.

- No kidding… oh no... this is bad, lol.

[Miro’s actions are totally unpredictable.]

I didn’t expect her to talk like that, hahaha.

- For real, lol.

- Just the broadcast is this girl...

- Honestly, if Miro makes mafia games fun, I highly recommend it, hahaha.

No kidding… it’s thrilling, hahaha.

[Actually, Haeun is quite a weirdo too, hahaha.]

She’s pushing Anna over there, hahaha.

- It seemed like she was trying to set things up, but Miro blew it away.

- Yep, doesn’t work, hahaha.

- Is Haeun a mafia?

- Yeah, yeah, looks like she was trying to push Anna.

- It was too obvious, hahaha.

- From what Miro has been doing, it’s probably doable.

- For real, looks like she seemed like an ally.

[Wow, she’s really getting into it.]

Wasn’t Miro on Haeun’s side? After hearing everything, she sends off Haeun.

- Miro isn’t some dumb idiot, she’s actually smart.

- Well, then why did she kill two citizens?

- Forget it, that’s just a scummy play.

- Haeun seemed a bit rushed, it was around the time the police were catching the mafia.

- Yeah, yeah, seemed unavoidable.

[This round is really joat…]

Right away, Seolha <— this crazy girl is the police but hasn’t made a correct guess once.

- For real, hahaha.

- She’ll hide until she catches the mafia, then hasn’t caught anyone, lol.

- Every time she uses her ability, it’s a citizen, hahaha.

[Miro really isn’t secretly a citizen, is she?]

Seo Eun-ha and Haeun put two mafia in, but the wronged ones that got executed would probably nod along.

- I agree.

- I’m Maho, I agree.

- I’m Haru, I agree.

- A girl who trolls but actually guesses well…

[Miro dies, hahaha.]

She hid poorly after using her doctor ability and was caught, dying, hahaha.

- Who killed her?

- Loa, lol.

- Is Loa a mafia?

- Yeah, for real, haha.

[Loa’s perspective is so funny, hahaha.]

(Miro hiding under the bed, sleeping)

Look at that big body squeezing under the bed, hahaha.

- Too funny, hahaha.

- Wow, seriously, hahaha.

- Loa couldn’t help but laugh while killing her, lol.

How can you hold back from that, hahaha?

[So this is the muscular, ugly-looking character being used by someone.]

(Is this the same person from Miro's music video capture?)

- ?????

- What the hell is this?

- This girl really can’t get away with it, hahaha.

[Citizens win, hahaha.]

Big win, Seolha <— but she corners the mafia at the end, hahaha.

- I had faith in you, goat…

- The true police of this era…

- This guy is just the police, lol.

[But today Miro was particularly annoying, I highly recommend it, hahaha.]

This guy came in with a proper concept, hahaha.

- Concept?

- For real…

- I wanted to smack her for her confidence, hahaha.

[Miro's action washing techniques.]

(From Miro's music video capture.)

Just thinking of red pills makes it easy to forgive, hahaha.

Instead, imagining a girl like this giggling just outside the monitor eases my mind.

- Wow, I feel much better now.

- For real...

- This feels good.

- Thinking like that, for real, a goat…

- Just a pretty girl…

***

Today, I was supposed to meet Haeun.

After the last mafia game ended, I received a message saying, “Let’s meet up together.”

The funny thing is, it wasn’t a message from Haeun herself.

It came from an exchange number I got when I met Han Ye-eun at the last vocal academy.

Guess she knew as well.

After all, capture shots from the music video circulated around the community, so everyone saw our faces.

Now that I think about it, Harbin probably knows too but isn’t really showing it.

Seo Eun-ha also seemed to be covering up quite a bit, so Harbin must have as well.

Maybe she’s even resenting me.

Wondering why I pretended not to know…! - Probably something like that, right?

Well, only Harbin knows her own feelings.

I might get to ask her when we meet later.

Anyway, I sat in the café waiting for Haeun.

I heard she was almost there, so I was thinking she would come soon - but just then.

“Um, excuse me.”

Someone spoke to me.

Turning my head, I see two guys.

Are they trying to get my number? It's been a while since I've encountered this.

Now that I think about it, I haven’t really gone out recently.

“Oh, the number is…”

“Are you the one who called for the turning point…?”

“Oh.”

Turning point?

I thought they were going to ask for my number, so I was momentarily stunned when one of the guys, who seems to be the friend of the one who spoke to me, gives him a light jab in the side.

“Hey, that’s not right…”

“Oh, oh, I see… I’m sorry…!”

“No, um…”

Maybe embarrassed by mistaking me for someone else, the guys quietly tried to slip away, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Was it less about the number and more about an autograph?

Turns out, I was the one who got it wrong, and my face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

But now, people recognize me outside, huh.

…I’ll have to be careful when meeting up with the members.

If a bunch of girls were out and one of them was Miro, they’d probably think it was some celestial realm gathering, right? It probably actually is.

Should I start wearing sunglasses when I go out? While I was thinking about that, a girl with bright brown hair walked in through the door.

She’s still overflowing with confidence from her walk.

As I watched for a moment, the girl approaching me made eye contact and brightened up with a smile.

“Senior!”

“Sit here.”

“Got it.”

After I pointed out the seat, she smoothly took a seat in front of me.

Isn’t this going to spread Haeun’s red pill effects too?

Thinking this, I quickly covered my face with my sleeve.

I should probably buy a mask at the convenience store later.

“Why are you hiding your face?”

“Oh, there were some people recognizing me earlier. I’m worried about you getting pointed out too.”

It’s not too pleasant to have your face spread all over the community.

So, the juniors need to be careful not to have that happen.

Well…I kind of exposed myself willingly, though.

“Oh, I don’t mind.”

“Really?”

“As you can see, I don’t have a face that’s that ugly, do I?”

Her sly smile shows her confidence about her appearance.

True, all the celestial realm members are pretty good-looking, but Haeun is among the better ones.

I can totally understand her confidence.

But….

“I’m not worse than you, am I? You should have more humility.”

Better than me, huh?

Appearance is subjective, but some things just shouldn’t be crossed.

Female Kim Soo-hyun has different species values.

When put in Pokémon terms, she gives off a vibe of a 700 base legendary Pokémon.

“Hey, that’s too much…”

“Hahaha, I’m just joking.”

“It doesn’t feel like a joke…”

“It's also kind of true.”

“Wow…”

I wonder if I went too far, but I don’t think Haeun is the kind of person to get hurt by this.

After all, she seems to have an immense pride.

“You’re a lot like you are on the broadcast, senior.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, I think it’s really great.”

Look, she’s coming back with a direct compliment.

“I hear that a lot.”

Well... it’s embarrassing but not to the point where I need to retort.

“You’re pretty strong, huh…”

“You shouldn’t take me lightly.”

Anyway, we talked right after she arrived, and the awkwardness wasn’t as big as I thought.

Is it because Haeun is good at speaking?

Well, considering she made it past the 2nd generation audition, she must be good at this.

Looks like she’s not intimidated by my looks.

Is it because of her strong pride?

“By the way, did you order a drink?”

“Not yet. Should we just order and go?”

“Well, let’s just stand up. Let’s go right away.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Well, anyway, since we met, we should head to the original destination.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, it’ll be my first time in a while.”

Today, along with Haeun, I was planning to go back to the vocal academy I attended—the first and last one, to greet the vocal teacher and attend some of the song lectures.

It’s still quite a distance away, but there’s a concert guest appearance I agreed to, right?

I need to practice more from now on.

Thus, Haeun and I headed towards the vocal academy together.
