Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 29

***

Broadcast ON.

As soon as she presses the button, Sua acts as another version of herself, as she always does.

She puts on makeup to the extent that it’s hard to recognize her as her usual self, wears a completely different style of clothing, and while decorating herself, she alters her expression looking at the cam.

Gazing at the monitor screen, she smiles brightly at the cam and opens her lips in a livelier tone than usual.

“Hello~ Plea fans! The broadcast starts on Wednesday, July 28th!!”

The term ‘Plea’ was a nickname she used for her viewers.

At first, she thought about what to call her viewers, but eventually settled on a name that suggested they raised the average viewer tier, implying they were skilled at the game.

It was a word created from Sua’s unique perspective, utterly mad about ‘Another World’.

Her in-game nickname and Twitter nickname ‘Plea’ combined the first letters ‘Pl’ with ‘Pltack’, a humorous term for Platinum tier.

So, by softening those terms, it became ‘Plea fans’.

The nickname Sua used for her viewers became Pl + Pltack = Plea fans.

[I’m here]

[Mihi!]

[PltackPltack]

[Plea plea]

[What are we doing today?]

[We’re probably playing Another World, LOL]

[For real, LOL]

[But doesn’t she seem a bit dressed up today?]

[Sis, you look so pretty today!!!]

And the viewers who initially denied it have now gotten used to the term ‘Plea fans’, accepting it very naturally.

As soon as the broadcast of ‘Plea’ started, a rapid influx of chats from viewers began.

At 7:30 PM. This was the time Plea would start her broadcast on weekdays without fail; it was common for regular viewers to be waiting at her broadcast address even before the stream started.

“Dressed up? Is there anything different about me? Oh, right, I went out for a bit today, is that what’s showing?”

Laughing while looking at the chat, Plea pretends to touch her hair, asking if it’s noticeable.

[???]

[You went out?]

[Who did you meet?]

[Boyfriend! Boyfriend! Boyfriend! Boyfriend!]

[Sis… do you really want to see me d*e?]

[I’m not new to Plea’s streams, what boyfriend talk is this, LOL]

[For real, Plea with a boyfriend is nonsense.]

[I’d believe it if you said you got a simultaneous drop in Black Ark, LOL]

As usual, Sua looks at the chat and chuckles, shaking her head slightly before speaking again.

“What boyfriend? How could I date someone when I spend all my time in the world? Sigh, do my Plea fans still not know me?”

Clearly a female streamer broadcasting on Twitter, ‘boyfriend’ was practically a forbidden word among them, but for Yoon Sua, she was almost an exception.

Starting her broadcast from the cam room, there had always been controversies regarding her looks or her past relationships, but anyone who had seen even a little of Sua’s broadcast couldn’t help but realize.

The ‘truth’ behind Sua, living almost entirely for Another World.

She spent a basic 10 to 15 hours a day logged in, and while there had been rumors about boyfriends, few seriously thought she had one.

And the fact that Sua herself had no intention of dating was perhaps the most significant factor.

Though she had received several confessions in the past and had brief memories of dating, acting like she liked someone when she didn’t really have feelings for them was too tiring, and she remembered quitting after just one day.

When the cam turned on during the broadcast, while most female streamers lied to viewers about having no dating experience or that they didn’t have time,

it’s ironically amusing that in this aspect, Sua was genuinely a ‘clean’ streamer with no lies.

“Hey, Plea fans, everyone who knows, knows today is that ‘day’!”

Slightly raising her voice, she casually checks the number of viewers.

7423.

It’s been about 5 minutes since the broadcast started, and the viewer count has already exceeded 7,000.

Smooth sailing.

She thought that as she shook her head small, acting flirtatious.

There was nothing to induce chats like reminding the viewers of another day.

[Sis… I’m dying!!]

[For real, it’s ‘that day’ today.]

[It really is a magical day.]

[LOL, look at those mischievous little bastards chatting.]

[Look how clean the house is, LOL.]

[For real, it’s amazing to see a pigsty become a livable house.]

[LOL, I wondered what made you go outside.]

“No, seriously, every time I go outside and come back to see the house clean like today, it just refreshes my mind. I’m serious about this. You won’t regret calling a cleaning service, you’ll be 100% satisfied.”

Chuckling at the viewers’ chats, Sua responds.

And those words were closer to Sua’s ‘truth’ rather than an act.

It was the day when a cleaning service would regularly come to clean her house.

Since earning far more money than she had imagined from her broadcasts, Sua had no reservations about making a mess at home.

Excluding the time spent in Another World, she effectively just slept, ate, and took care of basic needs, so the appearance of her house visible on cam sometimes looked a bit out of sorts.

In the early days of the broadcast, she’d tried to tidy up everything visible, but the moment she realized that showing her obsession with the game worked in her favor with the viewers, she began to leave her room slightly messy.

Of course, she maintained an acceptable level, ensuring it didn’t reach a dirty or cringeworthy state.

There was a distinct difference between showing how absorbed in the game she was and presenting her messy life as dirty.

Continuing the broadcast with small talk, about 30 minutes passed before she checked her viewer count again.

15285.

Realizing her regular viewers had all gathered, Sua softly started speaking.

“Plea fans~~~”

Pretending to be cuter than usual, she made a flower pose with her hands around her face, acting overly adorable.

[???????]

[What’s with the sudden tone?]

[Did you eat something weird today?]

[The cute act is really cringeworthy, LOL.]

[LOL, those who say it’s cringeworthy probably like it in their hearts.]

[What’s with the sudden change, for real?]

[Did Plea get a good drop in Black Ark while she wasn’t streaming?]

[She reportedly logged in for 15 hours yesterday, did she get something big?]

While chatting, some expressed awkwardness or confusion, others said it was gross, but Sua knew the viewers actually liked this side of her.

She had confidence in her looks, and she knew the percentage of male viewers among her audience was overwhelmingly high.

“I have something to say today?”

Smiling lightly, continuing the coy gestures, she hesitated yet didn’t get to the main point.

[LOL]

[???? What is this? Why is she like this?]

[Did she drop a legendary item or something yesterday?]

[Come on, just tell us!]

[Why do you look so good today, for real, LOL?]

[Sis, you know I trust you, right? Don’t say anything weird.]

Giggling at the chat, she realized she needed to do this a bit longer.

What she was doing now was a kind of warm-up.

With all her regular viewers gathered, it was time to draw attention and increase the viewer count, so she was doing something she usually wouldn’t.

As her typically high donations started to pour in, the number of viewers sharply began to rise.

And that was because Sua had a specific thought in mind.

More people needed to watch her broadcast.

Then, before she knew it, the count surpassed 20,000, and she began to feel slightly burdened by the cute act.

She checked the viewer count again.

23513.

More viewers than usual.

And at this point, she thought it was enough.

Gradually removing her smile, Sua gently opened her mouth.

“Alright, everyone focus!! Plea fans, and everyone drawn in, concentrate!”

[That was indeed a bait, LOL.]

[She usually reacts to donations of over 500,000 won, and today she just gave it away for free, so of course, it was bait, LOL.]

[LOL, you all enjoyed it while watching, so what?]

[Honestly, it’s pretty good to watch, LOL.]

[Plea fans, tone it down a bit; the chat is about to get gross again, LOL.]

[Yeah, you too, you lurker.]

As she watched the chat overflow with dozens of messages per second, Sua gathered her thoughts slowly.

The silver-haired woman addressing herself as ‘Lin’ was someone she felt certain about.

I did wrong to have stalked her, so I won’t draw attention in a malicious way.

Still… she could at least accept a friend request.

More than anything, that point was continuously regrettable.

She just wanted to talk in the game.

She just wanted to get closer…

And she already knew that Lin had shown up in the broadcast of a streamer named Hana.

Was that because of the malicious chat, prompting Lin to appear when called by the woman Hana?

The more she analyzed, the harder it was to recall a conversation with Lin, who truly sounded like a malicious user.

“You know, lately there’s been a hot topic user, right? Lin.”

[???????]

[Is Plea interested in her too?]

[LOL, Plea pretended not to care but ended up being interested.]

[What the hell, are all major streamers talking about Lin?]

[Can Plea even do a four-frame hit?]

[For real, can she do that?]

Looking at the chats responding to each of her words, Sua smiled wryly.

The chat continued to heat up, and she just watched it.

After delaying again with side comments, she noticed her statement had spread to the community or other broadcasts as the number of viewers began to rise again.

32173.

“I met a user named ‘Lin’ today.”

[Didn’t Lin block everyone when they tried to add her or invite her to a party?]

[Did you meet her in a ranked game?]

[How did you meet Lin in a challenge match? She’s not in the rankings.]

[Didn’t the new players say they met Lin in placement tests?]

[LOL, aren’t they just now looking at placements with that skill?]

[For real, how did Plea meet her?]

[Plea must want to ride the YouTube trend too, LOL.]

“Ah, no, I actually met her! Not in the game, but in real life!”

With her energy surged, Sua dropped the bomb.

Would that woman named Serin really not watch the broadcast?

Having watched Hana’s stream, she must be aware of Twitter’s existence.

And even in the café, she had outright revealed her nickname as Plea.

If Lin was indeed a malicious user, she’d likely fall for this bait.

And not long after, she would have no choice but to watch my broadcast.

That’s what Sua thought.
