Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 47

Afterwards, Sua seemed to regain her composure and naturally began speaking as she managed the broadcast.

“Honestly, Plea fans… the chat just now was really… honestly, it was quite a lot. I mean, seriously… I turned on this broadcast intending to teach someone who is trying to debut as a streamer. But all I showed was a jumble of nonsense. Are you really going to disappoint me like this, Plea fans?”

She sighed intentionally, showing her disappointment.

Serin, who was watching closely beside her, almost smiled unconsciously.

It was such a blatant pretense, but it seemed so natural that it was intriguing.

With the broadcast screen showing just a simple background and only her voice coming through, it would probably look like she was truly heartbroken to viewers who didn’t know the situation.

[The chat flooding just now was really over the top.]

[For real, some people were treating the chat like it was their own.]

[A few days ago, Plea’s cute reactions increased the audience drastically.]

[Lol, it seems that the view count really did spike then.]

[Everyone’s chatting like this, but are you feeling relieved that Linha is a girl?]

[Lmao.]

[Plea is probably really embarrassed. Haha.]

The chat room was rapidly shifting moods.

After that, Sua continued the broadcast in a way that seemed to playfully engage the viewers.

There were no more stutters in her speech, and she flowed through the broadcast comfortably while responding to viewers’ chats.

Watching this, Serin couldn’t help but be amazed.

It felt like once you entered the world of a major corporation’s streamer, the appearance changed completely. It was as if she had various masks and was swapping them to fit the situation.

While smoothly continuing to converse with viewers about a seemingly ordinary topic, it appeared impressive that she could keep talking without interruption.

Even if there were reactions in the visible chat, if you looked from the side, it just felt like she was talking to herself continuously.

Moreover, seeing Sua right next to her, inducing responses from the viewers, and sometimes deliberately raising her tone to increase the tension felt like a kind of talent.

Despite seeing some strange or unpleasant comments in the rapidly ascending chat, she completely ignored them and continued the broadcast without any disruptions.

As the broadcast continued, she occasionally glanced over at Serin.

She was talking to the viewers, but the shy expressions she showed when looking at Serin made her seem cute.

After about ten more minutes, it seemed Sua was getting ready to wrap things up.

“Ah, then, I’ll wrap up here with a short stream and help prepare for Linha’s broadcast! Please come watch Linha’s broadcast after about ten minutes!”

And thus, Sua’s broadcast ended.

Clap, clap.

I found myself clapping softly without realizing it.

When she first started the broadcast, she seemed flustered by the fiery chat, but from the middle onward, she managed it well and concluded the broadcast perfectly without any noise at the end.

And at the end, she set everything up perfectly to help with her upcoming broadcast.

“Ha…”

But contrary to my thoughts, as soon as the broadcast ended, Sua covered her face and let out a big sigh.

She seemed quite embarrassed, and then she began to mumble quietly.

“Actually, this was my first time broadcasting with someone else beside me… Ah, really. Did I seem weird to you too, Older Sister Serin? I said I would bring in viewers as if to show off, but look at me now. Ugh, so pathetic…”

With that, she gently lowered her hands from her face and looked at herself.

Her cheeks seemed slightly flushed as if she was embarrassed, and it looked like she had tried to show herself confidently but ended up failing.

That expression made me involuntarily smile.

“Pfft.”

I quickly covered my mouth as I realized what I had done and hurriedly tried to erase the smile.

“…Ugh. Older Sister Serin, you’re laughing at me right now, aren’t you? You think so, right? I confidently turned on the broadcast to bring in viewers for you, yet I showed my nonsense on air.”

“No, that’s not it.”

The reason I laughed didn’t have any real significance.

She had maintained such a composed demeanor until the end of the broadcast, but after it was over, seeing her suddenly self-criticize and become embarrassed struck me as funny and cute.

“But showing such a pathetic side is funny… It must have been quite amusing for you too, right?”

“No, I was just really impressed with how naturally you handled the broadcast until it ended. The reason I laughed is that it was so surprising to see you become embarrassed like this after the broadcast.”

“Ugh…”

She shook her head slightly at my words and fidgeted with her hands, looking like she would laugh again.

“And I think I’ve sort of grasped the broadcast now.”

Saying this, she slowly stood up. Perhaps thinking I was trying to change seats, Sua also got up, and we naturally swapped places.

“If you ever feel the chat is getting strange or worsening, I’m here to help.”

I responded with a light smile at her flustered demeanor as she kept trying to help. The more we talked, the more I felt that she was truly kind. Sua seemed pure-hearted.

“Yes.”

In truth, a major company’s streamer was offering to help me.

With the setup Sua had laid out so well, I thought I wouldn’t need to be outstanding in broadcasting.

Tap, tap.

After logging out of TwitT, I logged in with my account, having gotten used to typing on the keyboard.

Having seen the general setup that Sua had set during her broadcast, Serin didn’t fiddle with it any further. She simply hovered her mouse over the “Broadcast ON” option on her personal channel.

“Older Sister Serin? There are 3 minutes left until the time I mentioned earlier. You just need to set the broadcast title.”

Sua spoke urgently at Serin’s surprisingly quick actions.

“Ah, right.”

Serin slowly began to contemplate what title to give the broadcast and what to say at the start.

***

– [Another World Linha.]

A very simple broadcast title. I thought that Plea had already drawn the attention, so I kept the title ordinary.

To be honest, when I tried to start my broadcast, I felt a bit nervous, and the desire to attract attention had completely faded.

‘Why… is this making me so anxious?’

With that thought, I clicked the ‘Broadcast ON’ button as the time came.

With the opening phrase indicating that the broadcast had started appearing in the chat, the previously gray chat room changed to white and was activated.

Looking at that, I thought there wouldn’t be any viewers yet, and as I opened my mouth to practice, the moment came.

[Let’s go~~~~]

[Lolololol.]

[Plea fans are all gathered here?]

[Is it really Linha?]

[LINHA!!!]

[Please let us hear your voice!!]

[It feels like all the troublemakers are here. Lmao.]

[Ultra rookie streamer ON.]

I forgot what I wanted to say, staring blankly at the endlessly moving chat room.

‘What’s going on with them?’

I hadn’t said anything yet, but the chat was already going crazy.

Unconsciously, I turned my head to look at Sua, who was silently mouthing, “Just say anything.”

I felt I had to say something.

As my lips twitched, I opened my mouth.

“…Um.”

Suddenly, my mind went blank; words wouldn’t come out.

Without realizing it, I began fiddling with my long silver hair.

I was quite sure I had thought of what to say just moments ago.

But suddenly, no words would come to me.

In that instant, my heart dropped, and my head started to spin.

Placing my hand on my chest, I gradually calmed myself down while checking the chat.

[Oh?]

[Oh, lol.]

[Lolol.]

[Newbie streamer, what’s that smell?]

[1,000 viewers in just a minute since the broadcast started. Lol.]

[Other channels ban mentioning the number of viewers, but here they are outright stating it. Lol.]

[Linha can’t even speak properly… Awww…]

But after checking the rapidly rising chat, I finally managed to compose myself and opened my mouth.

“Ah, this is my first time broadcasting, so… I was flustered.”

This time, the words flowed out more naturally.

It was then that I began to express the words I had prepared in my head.

“Hello, viewers. I am Linha from Another World, and I’m a rookie streamer. Is my voice clear enough for everyone?”

As I spoke the rehearsed lines, my fingers twitched.

Even I felt kind of childish saying that; while I spoke, I wondered if it was correct. I felt unsure.

Momentarily, my eyes fell onto the numbers displayed beside the chat.

1,500 viewers.

The viewer count that appeared as soon as the broadcast started seemed too strange.

[Yes, yes, sounds good.]

[Did Plea set this all up in advance?]

[Please refrain from mentioning other players.]

[Your voice is amazing.]

[Sis, I’m dying!!!!]

[Your voice is killing me… Heh.]

[This is really an ear-gasm; I’m listening with earbuds.]

[Lolol, the chat is really wild now.]

[Is this the chat firepower of a 2,000 viewer room?]

As I tried to read the fast-moving chat while also catching the constantly rising viewer count, I thought I had some lines ready for when more people showed up. But now, they felt completely useless.

Your voice is amazing. Sis, I’m dying. Ear-gasm…

I absorbed the rapidly rising chats, and it seemed to suggest that they thought my voice was good. So, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“So, you mean my voice is good, right?”

Even while saying that, I felt a rather mysterious feeling.

It was this strange situation of being suddenly complimented by people whose faces I didn’t know.

Words were hard to connect, and even just reading the chat felt quite overwhelming.

Then, suddenly, an alert sound rang out.

Ding!

『Hinoa has donated 2,000 won!』

<<Yes. Your voice is so good!>

“Ah. Thank you for the 2,000 won donation... for saying my voice is good.”

I blankly read the donation message located on one side of the screen.

Earlier, when Sua was broadcasting, there had indeed been several donations, but honestly, it didn’t resonate with me much.

Since it wasn’t my money, even when a big donation came in, it didn’t feel like real money to me.

However, now, with donations coming into my own broadcast, the feeling was entirely different.

『Pyeonhu: 1,000 won donation!』
<<Yep!>

[Where are you getting these crazy donations?]
[I couldn’t even find how to donate, what’s up with you?]
[For real, even if I searched, I can’t find it; are they forcing donations? Lol.]

Seeing the chat reactions, I recalled that I hadn’t even intentionally displayed the donation window.

Since it was a test broadcast, I told Sua that I wouldn’t be activating the donations until the next broadcast, but now, after receiving donations, I found myself wondering how they were donating.

“Ah, and since this is my first broadcast, I intentionally didn’t set the donation window at the bottom. I wasn’t planning to broadcast long, since it’s just a test. I really don’t know how the previous donors donated, but you don’t need to send donations.”

Ding!
『OaGang donated 10,000 won!』
<<Please call my name, Lin!!>

“OaGang... thank you for the 10,000 won donation.”

As I mindlessly spoke the name of the viewer who donated, I suddenly became flustered and found myself unconsciously playing with my hair.

Wait, I clearly didn’t set up a donation option separately.

How are these people donating to me?

With my thoughts getting tangled, I started to question whether it was okay for me to receive donations like this.

Turning to Sua beside me, I silently asked what was going on. Sua also shook her head with a confused expression and whispered softly.

“Sis... I clearly turned off the donations. It shouldn’t be working right now.”

Then, grabbing my mouse, she directly opened the donation window.

It showed the donation history, but it clearly stated, “Currently, donation settings are disabled.”

‘Is it a bug?’

While harboring that thought, I took in the fast-moving chat.

[Hey, call my name too!]
[Lololol, why are they the only ones donating?]
[Isn’t there any reaction from Lin?]
[Please give us a reaction!]
[Are you intentionally not turning on the cam?]
[It seems like most of the viewers here are Plea fans; don’t you know how to react?]
[Aha, that must be what it is!]

“...A reaction? Actually, I didn’t prepare anything for the donations since I wasn’t planning to receive them today.”

I felt like I shouldn’t stay silent, so I spoke, but I also started to wonder if I seemed unprepared.

No, why are they donating and putting me in a difficult situation when I had clearly disabled the options?

[No reaction prepared?]
[For real, you’re just trying to take advantage of this, huh? Lol.]
[Your voice itself is a reward; why would you need to react?]
[No, it’s just that we haven’t agreed on compensation. Lol.]

I thought about simply opening the donation settings since this was the situation, but I also worried it would become even more confusing if I opened it without being prepared.

What if I suddenly received a large donation? That would be truly overwhelming.

Ultimately, I decided I needed to block donations again.

“Okay, just a minute. I’ll re-block the donation settings.”

As I moved my mouse to close the donation window...

Clunk.

"Ah."

Unintentionally, I ended up clicking the broadcast end button.
