Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 93
Battle Lounge partner streamer, M-bot.
The day before the competition, he was chatting with viewers about the competition.
[AimbotNo has donated 2,000 won.]
M-bot, what's your goal for this competition?
"Ah, of course, the most wins. Honestly, wouldn't it be weird if I didn't win?"
- Kyahhhh
- That's true lol
- The great M-bot
- If you don't win, you'll have to go find your lost 5,000 hours.
- 5,000 hours of playtime cheetah, deploying.
"Since I'm joining the competition anyway, I'll give the third-tier newbies a proper tour bus ride. I won't go easy on them."
- Ca rry announcement
- But no matter how good M-bot is, he can't beat Jia noona.
"Jia noona? I've heard of her... Is she a third-tier player?"
- ?
- You don't know Jia noona?
- You don't know the leader?
- Get out.
- Quit streaming! Quit streaming! Quit streaming! Quit streaming!
- Does Ji-a look like a ㅈ to you?
Embot.
He was a fool who only knew about the Battle Lounge.
But he wasn’t an isolated island streamer like Ji-a.
After all, since the Battle Lounge is a mainstream game, he participated in many collaborations.
He also interacted quite a lot with rookie VTubers who requested personal guidance from him.
“Is that Ji-a person really that much of a rookie?”
- She’s not just at the rookie level…
- Yeah…
- She got archived in the Battle Gallery, yep.
“Huh? She got archived in the Battle Gallery? Uh… Did she get tea-bagged or something? That, that could happen, it’s totally possible. Please refrain from trash-talking, folks. Let’s move on.”
- It’s not trash-talking, it’s straight-up facts.
- The surprising thing isn’t that she got archived for tea-bagging, but for trolling.
- What’s even more surprising is that Ji-a was actually playing really hard, but got called a troll…
- There’s a VTuber who got archived for being too bad!?
“…Is it that bad?”
The viewers were making such a fuss that Embot naturally became curious about this VTuber named Ji-a.
Soon after, Embot looked up a post about Ji-a on his fan cafe.
“Wow.”
He was startled by the high quality of Ji-a’s avatar.
“She must’ve spent quite a bit of money on this, huh? The movements are almost like real life.”
- It’s all thanks to the grace of the Shining Myeongseong, yep.
- This too must be the grace of the Shining Myeongseong.
- That’s probably motion capture, yep.
“Ah, so ‘Shining Myeongseong’ is a meme from her stream? I had no idea.”
- She’s not a person, but a fervent follower, yep.
Ji-a might not know this, but.
The proper noun ‘Shining Myeongseong’ had already spread widely in the streaming world, becoming a kind of meme.
It’s used to sarcastically comment when something either goes incredibly well or fails miserably, like saying, ‘This too must be the grace of the Shining Myeongseong.’
It was a way to indirectly highlight how benevolent and great the Shining Myeongseong is to humans.
“But she did make her avatar a bit over the top. It’s not realistic at all. At first glance, her chest seems bigger than her head…”
- Here he goes again.
- Ugh, can you stop unmasking VTubers already?
Embot.
He was an expert at unmasking VTubers.
He was a streamer who didn’t respect VTubers’ RP at all.
It wasn’t an intentional concept.
It was just a natural reaction because he wasn’t interested in VTubers.
As mentioned, he was a guy obsessed with the Battle Lounge.
Being a mid-tier streamer with a decent viewership, he had a good sense for streaming.
Embot had done many collaborations with VTubers.
He tried to be as polite as possible to his counterparts, but he never respected their RP.
This level of mask-breaking was actually something other VTubers and their viewers found amusing.
But there was one thing he overlooked.
No matter what, Ji-a’s avatar was.
- Surprisingly, it’s actually realistic, yep;
It wasn’t just some RP thing.
“What are you talking about?”
- It’s on par with or even better than a panel.
- If this guy sees Ji-a’s half-cam, his eyes might pop out.
- Refresh the cafe. Something good’s been posted. Hehehe.
As if entranced, Embot refreshed the cafe and clicked on the post titled ‘That Half-Cam Pic.’
“Oh…”
Soon, he was drooling as he stared blankly at her half-cam picture.
- LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
- I knew this would happen LOLOLOLOL.
- Right, this guy’s a total simp, huh?
- Hold it together!!!!!!!!!
After seeing Ji-a’s half-cam pic, Embot declared to his viewers.
“If I ever team up with her, I’ll carry her so hard in the game.”
Embot was quite honest about his preferences.
*
Ding.
As soon as he entered the voice chat room, he heard greetings from three familiar male voices.
[Ji-a’s here.]
Baek Janggun’s calm voice was the first to be heard.
[It’s the cult leader, the cult leader!]
Pint’s playful tone followed.
[Hello!]
Embot’s voice, sounding oddly excited, also came through.
Slightly nervous, I spoke in a trembling voice.
“Ah, hello! My name is Jiah.”
As I greeted them, the three men clapped and seemed genuinely pleased.
This is strange.
I’ve never streamed with these three or even had a conversation with them.
Why are they welcoming me so warmly?
Ah.
Maybe it’s because.
I’m that peculiar newbie in Battle Lounge Tier 3 who’s exceptionally bad at the game, and they find that endearing.
After all, no veteran dislikes a quirky newbie.
During the brief waiting time before the match started.
Since Mbot, Pint, and Baekjanggun were all fairly major streamers.
Even though the waiting time was getting quite long, they didn’t seem to mind keeping the audio on.
[Mbot, honestly, shouldn’t he be on a solo team?]
[True. Once he turns on ‘that thing,’ no one can stop him.]
[Even if I turn on ‘that thing,’ solo queue is still tough, guys.]
It seemed like the three of them already knew each other.
Unlike the three of them who were chattering noisily.
“…”
I had nothing to say.
- Lips sealed on.
- Aww, come on, say something, Jiah.
- Lips-sealed-noona-yaaaa~
- The stream is ruined~ The stream is ruined~ The stream is ruined~ The stream is ruined~
- Should we just do a surprise worship session at this point?
- If we do worship here, it’d be hilarious lol.
- I feel like I’m going to be treated as a total noob.
Ugh.
This is awkward.
If I keep my lips sealed like this, my goal of “building connections” will be completely ruined.
While I was debating whether to force myself to say something.
[Is Jiah here?]
“Yes, I’m here.”
[Ah, you are here. I thought you might have already passed out since you were so quiet.]
Pint spoke to me.
In a way, it could be seen as giving me attention.
But I just felt grateful to Pint for being the first to talk to me.
They were having so much fun talking among themselves that I couldn’t find the right moment to jump in.
Pint said.
[It’s a bit late, but should we do some introductions? The three of us already know each other, but Jiah doesn’t know us, right?]
Then the three of them introduced themselves.
Well, introductions weren’t really necessary.
Because I already knew all three of these streamers.
Ah.
It must be nice to be human.
You can just introduce yourself as “so-and-so who does this and that,” and that’s it.
But unfortunately, I’m not a human—I’m a VTuber.
And before being a VTuber, I’m a passionate follower.
“…Hello. I’m Jiah, the official librarian of Omnia Archive and an ardent follower of the Shining Star.”
This is the only way I can introduce myself.
- Aaaaah
- So embarrasiiiing
- Why do I feel embarrassed for you?
- RP execution? YouTube.
- It’s over, now the question bombardment is coming.
As soon as I finished my introduction, as if they had been waiting.
Mbot asked in a curious tone.
[Oh, I have something I’m curious about. That Shining Star meme, how did it come about…]
Is this guy crazy?
I forgot about the earlier awkwardness and corrected him.
“The Shining Star isn’t a meme, she’s a real deity.”
[…Ah, so it’s like a setting? Like a religion or something?]
“It’s not a setting, she’s real.”
[Ah, a setting that feels real. Okay, got it.]
“No, it’s not a setting that feels real, she’s real.”
[Ah, sorry. So you’re pretending it’s real…]
- LOLOLOLOLOL
- Is this a battle of spear and shield? LOLOLOL
- Info) Mbot is an expert at unmasking VTubers.
- That innocent, harmless question is just so chaotic lol.
- Unmasking expert VS RP execution god… what an epic showdown.
- Who’s gonna win this? LOL.
- I need to see the streamer’s RP get stripped at least once.
The back-and-forth between Mbot and me went on for quite a while.
Eventually, Pint, unable to stand it any longer, intervened in our conversation.
Thank goodness.
It seems like he’s on my side.
[Ugh, whether it’s a setting or real, what does it matter? What’s important is that we…]
[No, bro. Honestly, you’re curious too, aren’t you?]
[…ON.
- 3ON.
- We’re screwed.
- ㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕㅕ
- ㅋㅋ
