Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 114

What is the most important thing among the wealth a person possesses?

Depending on the person, various answers could be given, such as money, fame, or power.

However, I firmly believe that time is the most important.

If you grind time, you can make money.

Or you might get fame or power.

But let’s think in reverse.

Can you create time by grinding money?

“The day that happens is the apocalypse and the end of the world.”

A world where wealthy people don’t d*e and monopolize power their entire lives.

Seeing that such a world hasn’t come yet, it seems it’s impossible.

“Time can become money, but money can never turn into time.”

This means,

time and money are not in an equal relationship but rather an imbalanced one.

“If purchases can be made but cannot be refunded, what could be the reason?”

Because the cost paid is higher than the value of the purchased item,

time is more important than money!

“If I had to choose between living as 90-year-old Warren Buffett or just living normally, it would definitely be the latter.”

It wasn’t even a question worth contemplating.

“Well, this might be due to my talent~”

There was no need to go through the trouble of changing my body.

“Would it take… about ten years?”

Until I surpass Warren Buffett’s assets.

Anyway, I valued time higher than anyone else,

and I have always tried to use the assets I have efficiently.

“CUT! That was perfect!”

“But why am I doing this here…?”

Looking at the smiling director, I sighed inwardly.

– This broadcast has been halted due to inappropriate content.

“xx!!”

As the broadcast stopped,

I couldn’t accept the instantaneous change and reacted fiercely with curses.

“d*mn xx, d*mn Twitchxx!!”

Ruthless curses filled the room.

– Duruung.

At that moment, I heard the Discord disconnect sound.

Looking at the screen, Luna, who was on the call, had disappeared.

“Ugh… ugh…”

To calm my anger, I took a moment to breathe.

And reflecting on the situation,

I realized it wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

“No, no. This is actually good!”

I unzipped my suit roughly to cool down the rising heat.

At the same time, my skin was revealed.

Seeing my red skin blossoming here and there, I let out a sigh of relief.

“If this is how I look after watching a little of Rank One… if I had seen all hundred, I would have been bedridden for days.”

My skin, red to the point of being bluish.

With pain swelling with every movement, my fading image was becoming clearer.

But no matter how much I suffered,

would the viewers even care?

“They’re probably just asking when I’ll do a 24-hour broadcast…”

I can vividly picture the chat room burning with complaints from existing viewers.

“Yep~ not happening anymore~”

But now things are different.

I say goodbye for a moment to the viewers who might express dissatisfaction,

and to the incoming ones who quietly enjoyed!

“What are they gonna do?! It’s Twitch that suspended me!”

It was all the viewers’ doing that forced me into this Cam Room and made me groan.

So I could proudly shout.

“This is a vacation, a vacation! A break for me, who was stressed out by those nasty ones!”

I check the duration of the suspension.

A short period of one week.

But it was enough time for a vacation.

“Hehehe… What should I do during this time?”

Should I go for a hotel stay? Or perhaps an omakase?

“Traveling abroad sounds good… They say America is so much fun these days?”

I heard Trump was elected, and protests are happening every day…

Imagining myself munching popcorn at a protest site,

a grin escaped my lips.

“Plus, they even gave me pocket money to enjoy my vacation?!”

Even if I get suspended, the donations I received won’t go away.

In other words, the donations over three thousand provided by the viewers

can all be spent as I please!

“Michelin, all wiped out.”

Black and white judge Miju is coming!

My heart raced with excitement.

The deadline was just one day.

– Tweet tweet tweet tweet.

The sound of birds chirping echoed from outside the window.

At that moment, someone entered my room.

“Sis, wake up.”

“Ugh…”

It was Jihye’s voice announcing morning.

I responded by coiling the blanket around me like a caterpillar.

“Breakfast is ready!”

“Uurgh…”

As Jihye continued to urge me,

I stubbornly resisted without giving an inch.

The battle between the spear and the shield, which seemed like it would go on forever,

concluded with the spear throwing down the shield.

Whoosh!

The blanket, which felt like my skin, flew away.

“Ugh!!”

The sudden chill made me curl up.

But no matter how I wriggled, the warmth wouldn’t return, so I moved.

“Alright, hurry up… Eek!”

I grabbed the object standing next to me.

Holding it in my arms, a warm heat rose up.

“Um, um… ah…!”

Jihye seemed flustered by my sudden action, unable to articulate her words.

I fell back into a deep sleep again while listening to her voice like a lullaby.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

I woke up when the sun was high in the sky.

“Yawn… I slept well.”

I blinked and looked down.

Jihye was buried like a baby against my chest.

“Did you sleep well too, Jihye?”

In response to my greeting, Jihye just nodded her head instead of answering.

Seeing her bright red ears peek through her hair,

I hurriedly released her.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry, sorry. You must have struggled to breathe.”

I scratched my head and apologized.

In response, she answered again with gestures instead of words.

Shaking her head.

“Huh? You weren’t out of breath?”

Nodding.

“That’s a relief.”

We continued to communicate through gestures instead of words.

In the meantime, her head never rose even once.

Only her cute crown was visible in my sight as I stood up from my spot and said.

“Then I’ll wash up first?”

I thought to check her face to see if there was a problem, but that was already something of the past.

I left her behind and trudged to the bathroom.

“Have you come out?”

Jihye greeted me with a smile when I came out after washing up.

Looking at her seemingly restored peace, I casually asked as I passed by.

“Hey, you changed clothes in the meantime?”

“Yes… The clothes got a bit dirty…”

We chatted briefly and headed to the dining table.

Though it was a little cold, the food still glistened as it welcomed me.

“Today is a real feast again?”

Oysters, eel, octopus…

And many other various delicacies.

I exclaimed as I sat at the table.

“I’ll eat well!”

“Yes… Enjoy your meal…♥”

After finishing my meal, I naturally leaned back on the sofa.

“Ugh…”

As I let out a long sigh,

Jihye, who had followed me with quick steps, sat beside me.

“What should we watch today?”

“I’m good with anything as long as I’m watching it with you!”

“That’s the most difficult answer…”

I grumbled while flipping through the recommendation list.

At that moment, one movie caught my eye.

– The Big Short is coming.

With the sight of a man passionately playing the drums,

I seemed to be entranced as I pressed play on the movie.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the credits rolling up, I opened my mouth.

“It was fun, wasn’t it?”

Yawn.

Instead of an answer, a yawn echoed.

When I looked to the side,

I saw Jihye’s nodding head in my line of sight.

“Oh dear.”

Just before her slender neck broke,

I hurriedly supported her.

And then,

cradling her like a princess, I headed to the bedroom.

“Whoops!”

I laid her down on the bed.

With her peacefully asleep beside me, I naturally took out my mobile phone.

“Today… recommended stocks…”

Bitcoin has halved?

Tesla is down too.

“Oh, I could have doubled if I shorted.”

I let out a small sigh of disappointment.

Then suddenly,

a sense of self-reproach about my current state washed over me.

“What the hell am I doing!!!!”

“Ueh?”

Jihye, who was headed to dreamland, responded to my sudden shout.

“No, no. Go back to sleep.”

“Ueh…”

Pat pat.

As I gently patted her, she fell back asleep.

I left her behind and carefully slipped out of the room.

And then I silently shouted.

“What am I doing right now?!”

Is this what vacation is like?

“What’s more, it’s already the third day?”

Half of my vacation had already disappeared.

And what have I done during that time…?

“Eat, sleep, watch a movie… eat again, sleep, watch a movie…”

Living no differently from a pig.

No, perhaps even a pig would live more diligently than this.

“Where did my overseas trip go? And the omakase?”

Where did it go…

It was all swallowed by my laziness.

“This won’t do…”

Tears welled up from the regret that flooded in.

On the day the suspension ended,

the questions from the viewers were already crystallized in my mind.

Q: What did Miju do during the suspension?

A: Nothing.

A painfully catastrophic response.

I could already hear the viewers’ mockery that would follow.

“I need to do something… even if it’s now…!”

In a rush, I hurriedly planned my schedule due to the impending sense of crisis.

However, my brain, already accustomed to rest, could only think of strange things.

“Jihye, I want to squish… no!”

I shook my head to erase the soft, fluffy feeling that came to mind.

At that moment, the ringtone from my mobile phone rang out.

– Duruuur

“Yes, this is Miju.”

I answered the call without checking the caller ID.

At that moment, an unfamiliar tone came through the phone that I could never get used to.

“MY muse? Do you have time tomorrow? Wanna be a Hollywood actor?”

“Um…”

Q: What did Miju do during the suspension?

A: I went and filmed a movie. Hoho~

A perfect portfolio.

This was my blunder.
