Streamer Crazy About Slaughter - Chapter 95
I made arrangements to meet Sua at 6 PM and started getting ready to go out for a change.
I began to take out the clothes I had set aside and laid them on the bed one by one.
“Then, clothes I can wear…”
After fiddling with several outfits and pondering over what would look good for nearly 30 minutes, I still couldn’t decide on anything that I liked.
While putting down yet another piece of clothing, I couldn’t help but let out a pointless laugh.
After all, I was just meeting Sua to have some drinks, so did I really need to dress up this much?
Still, since I was going out, I thought it would be enough to wear something that didn’t look too bad, so I lowered my standards for choosing clothes.
After about 10 more minutes, I finally made my decision.
“This one will do.”
In the end, I chose a bright red blouse and black pants from the clothes I had laid out, and I put away the rest as if I had no intention of changing my mind, tidying up the mess I had made.
I then looked in the full-length mirror to see how the blouse and pants looked on me.
“…”
I wondered why I struggled so much when they fit perfectly, with no flaws at all.
It was a bit funny that I was thinking like that about my appearance. After 30 minutes of deliberation, the outfit I randomly chose ended up looking this good, which somehow put me in a good mood.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror.
The bright red blouse contrasted completely with my white, silver hair that flowed down to my waist, and my mixed features were hard to believe were Korean. My body proportions seemed well-balanced too.
“Then why is my body… like this? It’s trash.”
At that moment, Serin, who had curled her lips up, wore a bewildered smile.
It felt like everything was just for show.
I wasn’t putting on weight, and my figure hadn’t changed much, but perhaps that’s why my stamina had increased very slowly.
Despite exercising every day and trying to boost my stamina even on tired days, I realized that my physical improvement was really, really slow.
Anyway, thinking that it should be fine for an outfit to be acceptable, I set down the clothes I had brought to change into, and then my attention was drawn to my white silver hair.
“How should I deal with this?”
As I fiddled with my white hair, that thought crossed my mind.
Anyone could tell that my appearance resembled ‘Lin’ from Another World.
No, it was obvious that Lin was me, so it was understandable, but the real issue was how to hide that when going out.
Even if I wore a mask and a hat that covered my face, that bright silver hair would still be too eye-catching.
Then I picked up a white ribbon to change up my hairstyle.
Swish.
With that, I tied my hair up quickly and quite skillfully. A few stray hairs poked out in the process and briefly obscured my view, but it still looked stylish in its own way.
It was a typical ponytail hairstyle.
Since I only knew how to tie my hair in that particular way, it was the only choice I had.
Looking in the mirror, I decided to lower the height of the ponytail rather than tie it up too high.
I also let some bangs fall out to cover my forehead completely.
The completed hairstyle was a ponytail with bangs.
In just a few minutes, simply changing my hairstyle altered my image dramatically.
Even I realized that I usually had a sharp impression, but covering my forehead made me look a bit softer.
“…Not bad.”
I turned my head this way and that while looking at my reflection and nodded my head slightly after a moment.
However, I hesitated when it came to wearing the hat I had pulled out, thinking it didn’t quite match my hairstyle.
‘I’ll just wear a mask.’
I figured this was better anyway.
“And I feel like I should buy something to bring home…”
The meeting place where I was to meet Sua was none other than her house.
I wanted to casually talk with Sua rather than drinking outside in a loud setting. It seemed like Sua wanted that too.
And since she changed her broadcasting schedule because of me, rather than not streaming at all, we decided to do a joint stream at Sua’s house without turning on the cam for a short while.
I thought the viewers wouldn’t mind too much about that, and Sua readily accepted my suggestion.
Me.
[Sua, is there anything you need?]
As I pondered over what to bring, I just directly asked Sua.
I thought it would be better to ask her directly regarding anything she needed, rather than just guessing and bringing a present.
Yoon Sua.
[Oh, no? There’s nothing in particular I need. Ah. And seriously, Unni! Just coming is enough. I’ve been craving some drinks lately too.]
Me.
[Still, since I suggested drinking, I don’t think it’s appropriate to come empty-handed. If there’s really nothing you need, I’ll just bring some drinks. What kind do you like?]
Yoon Sua.
[Drinks? Uhm. I like sweet types of alcohol. Honestly, even if I drink bitter ones, I don’t feel great when I get drunk. And we can order alcohol through Serin Unni’s app… Wouldn’t it be heavy if you bring it yourself?]
Me.
[Then I’ll bring some wine that can’t be ordered through the app.]
I had found out just yesterday while watching the editor’s stream that wine couldn’t be delivered.
They said the price of alcohol couldn’t exceed 50% of the order price. I wondered what that meant, but since they said it couldn’t be done, I recalled having to order beer instead.
Yoon Sua.
[Then Unni, I’ll really expect something expensive, okay? Take your time. And please contact me when you arrive near the known address! I’ll come out to greet you.]
I couldn’t help but chuckle at her expecting something expensive.
After wrapping up our chat, I checked the time and saw it was already 4 PM.
A rather awkward time.
Moreover, the distance to the officetel Sua mentioned was only about a 10 or 15-minute walk? It was a really close distance.
Even after picking up the wine I’d ordered, it would only take about an hour if I allowed enough time.
“…What should I do to pass the time?”
I glanced at the Another World capsule placed in one corner of the room but soon shook my head.
I considered playing the Another World arena for a bit, but I just wasn’t in the mood for that today.
Besides, since I started streaming, even if I played the Another World arena alone, I found it significantly less enjoyable than before.
Winning in the arena didn’t feel fulfilling without the viewers’ reactions in the chat, and it felt a bit lonely to play by myself.
“I guess I’ll watch some movie reviews.”
That’s what I ultimately decided as I sat back down in front of my PC.
When I had nothing to do, I could easily pass the time by browsing videos on NewTube. If I found an interesting movie or something worth watching, I’d take a note of it.
It was one way I discovered to find things to do on my rare day off.
This world was overflowing with movies and videos I didn’t know about.
……
After watching a few videos on NewTube and noting down some interesting movies, time passed, and it was now past 5 PM.
After shutting down my PC, I stood up and changed into the clothes I had just prepared, and at that point, Serin started getting ready to go out.
Not long after.
Clack.
With the sound of the door opening.
A silver-haired woman wearing a mask stepped out of the house.
***
Cheongdam-dong ‘S’ Wine Bar.
Since it was before opening hours, there were no customers, only two women cleaning the bar.
Swish, swish.
A tall woman with a neat bob cut was mopping the floor.
A small, cute-looking woman was checking orders at the counter while tidying up the tables.
Only these two women were preparing the wine bar just before it opened.
There was still quite a bit of time until the opening hour of 8 PM, but they started preparing at 5 PM, as usual, in case there were any pick-up orders.
It was possible to operate like this in a wealthy area like Cheongdam-dong, but the two women working there were just enjoying it.
Their pay was the same as the opening hours, but working now during the preparation was much more comfortable.
As Minha checked the counter, wondering if there might be a pick-up order today, she momentarily doubted her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw an enormous order, and she wondered what it was about.
“Unni Eunseo, is this order a mistake?”
Worried that taking the order might create an issue, she called out to Eunseo who was standing further away.
“Huh? What is it?”
“There’s a person who ordered over 2 million won as a pick-up order.”
“…?”
Receiving Minha’s hard-to-understand words, Eunseo walked over to the counter directly.
Clack, clack.
As she approached the counter and checked the order, she saw that the entire order consisted of very expensive sweet wines, and the total was eye-watering.
—Order Total: 2,310,000 won.
That amount wasn’t normal.
“…This isn’t someone who usually comes in.”
Eunseo checked to see if this person had ever placed an order at the wine bar previously, but that wasn’t the case.
Moreover, Eunseo had already worked at the wine bar for two years.
She had memorized the names of regular or main customers by now.
‘Han Serin?’
As she repeated the name of the person who placed the order in her mind several times, she realized it was a name she had never heard before.
“What should we do, Eunseo Unni? Should we prepare it?”
Facing Minha’s question with difficulty, Eunseo couldn’t easily answer.
For an order of this size, they had to separately prepare packaging.
‘Surely she isn’t a troublesome customer.’
Thinking this, she recalled the location of this wine bar.
It was in Cheongdam-dong, which was known for its affluent area and was situated among hot places.
Although it couldn’t be said there were no troublesome customers concerning pick-up orders, still, she thought someone ordering this much wouldn’t play games.
“Right. Occasionally, there are people who place large orders.”
“Minha, let’s just prepare it. Who would joke around with an amount like this?”
……
About 10 minutes passed after Minha carefully prepared the expensive wines for pick-up.
Then they heard an announcement at the counter that a customer had arrived to pick up an order.
“I’ll go deliver this to the customer, Unni.”
Although it was customary to greet the customer at the wine bar, Minha, wanting to go out to greet them, was trying to at least go out for a bit due to the significant amount.
“Be careful.”
Eunseo said this as she opened the door for Minha, who was leaving with the packaged wines, but she felt a bit anxious.
‘Surely they aren’t troublesome, right?’
The luxurious packaging containing several bottles of wine couldn’t be reused.
……
Walking a minute in front of the wine bar while looking at the phone indicating the customer’s location, Minha’s phone suddenly beeped!
The little alarm of her phone indicated that a customer was nearby.
In that moment, she spotted a woman.
She had a ponytail with bangs and was dressed in a red blouse and black pants. Without realizing it, Minha was drawn to her.
‘…What’s going on?’
Even her face visible between the mask looked like a piece of art.
‘Could she be a foreign model or something?’
That thought came to her mind unbidden.
It was hard to see her as Korean given her body proportions, features, and even the color of her hair.
Wondering if she might be a famous foreign model, Minha thought again that this was indeed Cheongdam-dong.
It made her feel like there were such people around, so she checked her phone again.
Then she sensed something was off.
‘The customer’s location appears to be right here.’
Looking around, she could see people but no one who seemed to have ordered the wine worth more than 2 million won.
At that moment, the only two people around were a couple of men in their 40s.
As Minha awkwardly stole glances at the silver-haired woman while looking around, the woman suddenly spoke.
“Excuse me.”
Startled by the sudden address from the silver-haired woman, Minha turned her attention back.
“Yes?”
“Isn’t that wine you’re holding?”
“Oh, yes. It is wine.”
“Then I think it might be my order. It’s a pick-up order.”
“Ah, are you by any chance… Han Serin?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
As she carefully handed over the wine, Minha also received a card in exchange.
While processing the payment, her gaze was drawn again.
As they got closer, the woman’s appearance became even more striking, and Minha widened her eyes.
‘What must life be like with such looks?’
That question lingered in her mind.
