Starting the opening waiting screen before the broadcast is an essential virtue of every streamer.
By broadcasting the waiting screen, it gives viewers time to gather and sets the atmosphere for the content to be presented that day.
Especially when conducting outdoor broadcasts, it can also be used to check technical setups like automatic mosaic functions.
For various reasons, the waiting screen is cherished.
NaeMe also displayed a victory celebration for the 16th round of the national exchange match.

However, when the opening screen exceeded 30 minutes, it was natural for viewers to express their discontent.
-Open up, owner! Bang bang bang!
-I thought you were coming at midnight… Did you break your promise?
-But isn’t swimming dangerous at night?
-I’m in Europe right now; it’s not night here, haha.
-Wow, viewer numbers are insane these days.
-Twish’s viewership is overwhelmingly strong in France and Spain.
-(Fluttering French flag)
-Did she get kidnapped by Muslims?
-Gasp
-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pop-!
The screen goes dark.
Soon after, a bright sky with blazing sunlight appeared.
Bubbling—
In the middle of the sea, white bubbles rose from the rolling waves.
The hands cutting through the water felt strangely urgent.
The camera hovering above the surface alternated between the dark sea and the peaceful surface.
“Uuhh… cough cough! Hah…!”
NaeMe’s editor, Semaaru, flailed his arms as he turned the camera towards himself.
He was a familiar figure to the viewers, but his situation was anything but ordinary.
Semaaru barely surfaced, gasping for breath.
“Ugh! Shark, there’s a shark…!”
The words were thoroughly distorted as they soaked in seawater.
He glanced away from the camera for a moment.
While the viewers fired off question marks, a shark fin appeared over his shoulder.
Now even a fool could tell what situation he was in.
He was being chased by a shark.
-??????
-What’s that behind you?
-That’s definitely a shark!
-The shark is coming, run away fast!
-How did this happen…?
-Is there a shark in Nice?
Semaaru swam desperately for another ten meters.
Holding the camera, he looked back again.
-Have I escaped?
-I don’t see anything.
-Wow, what was that shark a moment ago?
-How did you end up doing survival alone in the ocean?
-Don’t tell me something bad happened to NaeMe?
And the moment he looked ahead again.
The fin we all saw earlier was wriggling right in front of him.
A large shadow grew bigger in the water until the shark leapt out of the surface.
“Gyao!”
“Gaaah!”
“…”
“Cough cough. Hahaha.”
Semaaru burst into laughter.
As he stood upright with his legs stretched, it became clear that the water was only waist-deep.

-What the heck is going on?
Wearing a shark costume swimsuit, NaeMe slowly removed her cap.
NaeMe’s twin tails poked out from between the sharp teeth of the shark.
“Ugh, did you really have to do something this childish?”
“Wow, that’s incredible, NaeMe. We were all totally fooled.”
NaeMe took the camera from Semaaru.
Shaking her head, she filmed the beautiful scenery of the Nice beach.
To rescue those adrift at sea, Sihoo and Yuna appeared, each riding a two-person inflatable duck.
NaeMe reached out, asking to be picked up, but Yuna looked annoyed.
“Uh oh, the shark can’t ride on the duck… it’ll scare the duck…”
“In that case, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Kyaaah!”
Splash—
NaeMe pushed Yuna into the sea and proudly claimed ownership of the inflatable duck.
[Creation: 4-axis Propeller]
[Cast: Rotational Motion]
The propeller magic circle generated behind the inflatable duck began to spin violently, splashing water everywhere.
Puaagh—
Soaked with water, Yuna rubbed her face and flailed her arms.
“NonaMeee! I’m sorry, come back!”
“Thank you for waiting, everyone. I just arrived in Nice yesterday. The beach I passed by yesterday looked so beautiful that I planned this broadcast, and the location is just wonderful, right? Thanks for all your support in the 16th round, and… Woah?”
Boom—
The inflatable duck, lifted slightly by a wave, flew away and capsized.
NaeMe also got separated from the tube, floating in the air, and then—
Splat—
She fell belly-first onto the seawater.
NaeMe’s friends’ laughter echoed faintly from a distance.

When humans go to the beach, they are precisely divided into two groups.
Those who want to play in the sea and those who prefer to rest quietly on the beach.
Since I never really liked swimming, I always belonged to the latter group.
However, Semaaru persuaded me to go into the sea for a solid 15 minutes, and I reluctantly agreed.
Like a drenched mouse, I trudged across the rocky shore.
“Oh NaeMe, it’s good you’re here. Come eat some cherries.”
Professor Cheon slowly lifted his body under the parasol and handed me a fruit basket.
-Grandfather
-This shark is herbivorous.
-Wow, this is a vacation.
-Dad, please remove the mosaic!
-That Hawaiian shirt is so cool, haha!
I popped four cherries into my mouth at once and picked out the pits.
In the meantime, Dad had laid a large blanket on the sunbed where I would lie down.
Finally, I can rest a bit.
A gentle breeze blew, drying the remaining water on my body.
I yearned to fall asleep like this, but as the one leading the broadcast, I had to take responsibility.
“Seriously, the scenery is so beautiful even when I look again. I feel that it’s such a waste that the turquoise sea color can’t be fully captured on camera.”
I projected a hologram into the air and searched for my match against Sufian Hakim in the 16th round.
The views were already considerable.
Videos of famous VTubers who came to watch were the first to catch my eye.
[I watched the 16th round Saudi match alongside Cannon King | NonaMe, the Devil of Invalid!]
I decided to click on the video with 2 million views to watch together with the viewers.
It’s absolutely not that I was bored of hosting the broadcast.
-Nice beachfront and all this, haha!
-NaeMe can’t resist a match that was won, right?
-Cannon King also came to watch the match, wow!
-Haha, now who’s the real world-class player?
[NaeMe, do you have a signature? I brought one with me here.]
Cannon King proudly showed off an frame he received at a fan signing event.
The expressions that changed moment by moment during the competitive first half were entertaining.
Eventually, when Hakim blatantly committed a foul during the halftime, everyone stood up and collectively reacted intensely.
[‘wwoww’ donated 10,000 won!]
-If I went to Sufian Hakim’s Instagram and left a hate comment, I would get a lot of thumbs down.
-Thumbs down, haha!
-Thumbs down is also a mischievous thing, you know?
-The account closing in 10 minutes is real comedy, haha!
-So he knows he did something wrong!
-No one swore there, honestly.
-Someone had a hard time cleaning the soju broken at the restaurant, for real.
“Everyone, please don’t leave hate comments. If we show such an ugly side, what will people from other countries think?”
[‘심심한냥이’ donated 10,000 won!]
-Honestly, if you think NonaMe is the most malicious, you get a thumbs down.
An endless stream of thumbs down continued.
Even foreign viewers were swept up in the mood and were writing GAE-CHU.
The ongoing second half had the entire audience in a frenzy.
I hadn’t realized it while being inside, but I could feel that the atmosphere of the scene was distinctly different.
After watching all the videos, I returned to the official channel of the national exchange match.
“The real deal is the second half, the second half. Now, if you want to tell someone later that you watched my match, you should know at least this much, so everyone get ready to take notes. Nomm.”
I coated my mouth sweetly with cherries and began to explain.
I explained the principles of Stellar Atrao, methodologies for external deviation, and finally the dispelling and deactivating of magical barriers with four or more circles.
-Aaahhhhh!!!
-Someone please stop the rampaging NaeMe!
-Her Korean is not being translated!
-NaeMe’s splashing, NaeMe’s beach volleyball, where is NaeMe’s sandcastle building?
-You said it was a sandy beach! Why is it all rocky?!
-???
Swish—
A slender hand appeared in the middle, blocking the camera’s view entirely.
“NaeMe, do you want to go explore the market right in front of us? I’ll buy you gelato!”
“Huh?”
Saetbyeol, who had changed into a rash guard, appeared.
Her hair, now considerably longer, was tied into a ponytail that exposed her shoulder line.
With a calm and mature voice, she pinched and tugged at my cheek.
Although her face was not shown due to the mosaic, her figure was enough to draw the audience’s attention.
“I’m live right now. Can’t you just go with Dad?”
“Chit, I know. But you see, I can tolerate people insulting NaeMe, but I can’t stand people saying your broadcast is boring.”
“Why do you tolerate them insulting me? Don’t do that either.”
I responded with an incredulous tone.
At the same time, I realized the reason why she had intervened when I saw the snoring viewers.
“So it was that boring…”
Meanwhile, Saetbyeol slightly bent at the waist and waved to the viewers.
“Hello, I’m NaeMe’s older sister.”
-Wowwwwwwwww
-You don’t even need to see her face to know she’s beautiful, haha!
-Legend, legend, legend, legend!
-The legendary NaeMe who captivated the Japanese national team, wow!
-Her voice is so goddess-like!
I had to give prior warnings about a few chats that crossed the line.
“Everyone, my sister is still a minor, so please be careful with the chat. Will you keep your promise to buy gelato?”
