“Haaah…”

Week 2 of the war against the heretics.

Once again, the outcome was our victory.

─Wow, seriously, we won again lol

─At this point, aren’t those who believe in Elun and Scadi in the wrong?

─It’s like the methods are totally different lol

─Every time I watch him play, I feel like there’s a wall; it’s real;

─No matter how I look at it, we’re not playing the same game.

─I just bought a reverse capsule to try this game; can I do it like that too?

─You think that’s possible?

─You know deep down it won’t work out.

─If you think you can fight a bear and win, then maybe lol

“Well, thankfully, we barely won…”

Honestly, I thought we would lose in Week 2.

From this week to Week 4, we couldn’t receive help from the Sirius Team.

Some might say it’s just five people, but if those five are professional gamers reigning at the top of New Dimension, then the story is definitely different.

Just their participation is enough to boost our morale and crush the enemy’s spirit.

In other words, if they don’t participate, it’s obvious our morale would drop and the enemy’s would rise.

So, I was planning to win in the wars of Week 1 and Week 5 when the Sirius Team would join and rack up points…

But checking community sites revealed that the heretics assumed the Sirius Team would participate this week as well.

So, a significant number of heretics dropped out for the war in Week 2, and thanks to that, we managed to win again.

Well, it was a narrow win, though.

If it becomes known that the Sirius Team isn’t participating in this war, we shouldn’t expect to win next week.

“Let’s leave New Dimension for today… and just chat a little more before we go…”

─Aren’t we streaming the NAK playoffs?

─“Stream the NAK playoffs!”

─Ga-eun said she prepared a lot of fun stuff; let’s go!

The chat was buzzing with discussions about the NAK playoffs happening next month.

I looked it up a bit, and while it’s still a bit far from the end of the regular season, almost all the top teams seem decided.

When Ga-eun mentioned last week that the playoffs would start soon, I thought it was still quite a while away; I didn’t realize that was the case.

Honestly, I wasn’t completely uninterested… but I didn’t feel the urge to broadcast it.

─I’ll cry if you don’t watch the NAK playoffs…

─If we’re playing New Dimension, let’s just watch the NAK playoffs, damn it.

But seeing how desperately the Rebongi want it… yeah, I really didn’t want to.

After all, no matter what I say, they’ll just call me a beast or a bear.

I have no interest in getting teased for no reason.

Well, that doesn’t mean I won’t broadcast at all.

“I’m not planning to broadcast the playoffs…. But I do plan to do the finals…”

Of course, that’s limited to if the Sirius Team makes it to the finals.

─If it’s the finals, it seems like either Sirius or Oz A7 will make it?

─Oz is really good too lol

─Aren’t they the only team to win even one set against Sirius?

─A7 could’ve won too; that was unfortunate lol

─Right now, A7 and Oz are 1:1, so it’s a bit ambiguous.

─Whoever it is, I feel like Sirius will win lol

─That means Sirius would go undefeated, wow.

─Right now, Sirius is just way beyond; they’re all insane players rotating through top, jungle, mid, and bot.

─And for Oz to even take a set from such a team?

─Honestly, last year, it was just Ga-eun carrying Sirius solo, but now everyone’s awakened lol

The evaluation was naturally that the Sirius team is the best.

I wonder if the Rebongi know that my help made that evaluation possible?

I guess not. I want to tell them.

But the director of the Sirius Team told me not to say anything until they mention it themselves…

It’s really unfortunate, but it couldn’t be helped.

“But is the Sirius Team really that good…?”

─Yep, they’re just new gods now.

─Last year was completely different.

─Pro Pie is a rookie who just got called up and is already smashing heads lol

─It’s hard to win through bans and picks, and in-game, they’re just flying around; it’s insane.

─Their peak is ridiculously high, yet even at their low, they’re crushing most teams.

─Actually, Oz winning was largely because Sirius was experimenting.

─I feel like they still have a ton of hidden cards.

“Hmm, whoo…”

All I can do is fill my pride this way.

★

“Hmm…”

ASMR.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.

It’s said to refer to everyday sounds or white noise; what on earth is that?

[Hoo… Can you hear me well? There aren’t any issues with the sound quality, right?]

I watched various videos on OnTube to study, but I’m still not sure.

─I can hear you!

─So good, really…

─Perfect for sweet dreams!

Looking at the chat and comments filled with praise, I wonder what’s so great about this?

And why do the Rebongi want me to do this kind of broadcast so badly?

[Isn’t it ticklish? Hehe… You’re so cute…]

Somehow, a voice that spreads tingling throughout the ears and a much more serene atmosphere than other streams.

If I had to pick out any features, that would be about it, but to be honest, I don’t think it’s much different than a regular casual chat stream.

It’s just occasionally mixed with a situation roleplay or something.

It’s been about 4 months since I became a streamer, and I still have so much to learn…

But since I promised, I should make sure to do it properly, thoroughly, and perfectly.

I even bought a dedicated ASMR microphone for that.

[Today is Christmas, so… I’m thinking of doing an ASMR fitting for that atmosphere…]

An ASMR to match the Christmas mood.

Well.

If it’s a broadcast with that kind of atmosphere, it wouldn’t be bad to do one for a special occasion.

What recent commemorative event was there?

…No matter how I think about it, an ASMR for Lunar New Year seems a bit off.

“…Ah.”

Speaking of which, that exists.

I’ve decided.

What ASMR broadcast I’ll do.

[It’s a Valentine Gift]

[Talk | 5212 viewers online | 00:01:12]

─?

─Valentine’s Day has already passed, teacher.

─Did you come from the past?

─I only got 2 chocolates on Valentine’s Day lol

─Were those two your mom and sister?

─You probably received supermarket chocolates lol

─Shut up…

─Aw, that’s so sad…

─Why is she acting like this when she ignored my suggestion to make chocolates on Valentine’s Day?

“Hmm. Ahem… Ah, hello, Rebongi…”

─Oh what the heck

─??????????????

─What is this?!

─Pya pya pya pya pya!

─Whoa, what’s going on?

─Did ASMR just hit us?????

─Whoa damn lol

─Seriously, this voice is GOATed;

─The Rebongi who got chills just now must be crazy lol

─Wow, so this is what it means to sell with voice, huh? [Deleted Message]

I simply greeted them, but the chat’s reaction was atypically wild.

It was a bit different from usual, but aren’t they being too excited?

What on earth is making them so happy?

Those thoughts flitted through my mind, leaving me a bit startled, but I quietly exhaled and continued speaking.

“Two days ago, it was Valentine’s Day… Of course, you remember, right? I was busy, so I couldn’t do it on the actual day, but I promised to give it today…”

─Oh, that’s the concept.

─Yep, I remember; I was waiting!

─Hurry up with the chocolate, damn it!

─It better be real chocolate!!! Don’t let me down!

─What is real chocolate, you dork…

─Seriously, do you think we’re in some anime here?

─???

─It feels like I am watching one, though…?

“I’ve been preparing it diligently… Would you accept it…?”

─Is it homemade?

─Did you make it yourself?

“Um, yes… I, made it myself…”

There’s actually a chocolate I made sitting on my desk right now.

To be honest, I wondered if I needed to go through so much effort, but after looking for posts on the Remagal from Valentine’s Day, I found out that many Rebongi were actually interested in seeing the chocolate I made.

Even if I made it, it’s not like they would get a chance to eat it anyway.

Well.

Last time, quite a few Rebongi said they wanted to see me cook.

Even if they can’t eat it, I guess the fact that a streamer is making something is nice?

“This will be left for later, so please be sure to tell me how it was… I hope it’s delicious…”

─Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

─Even if I don’t taste it, it seems like it’ll be super delicious…

─Ah, thank you so much, Rene ㅠㅠ

─I got chocolates from a girl too; Mom!

“So, I’ll be off now… You have to tell me your reviews later, okay…?”

With the much-anticipated ASMR underway and a homemade chocolate gift, this broadcast was surely something that would deeply touch the Rebongi.

“Then, I’ll take my leave…”

〔The broadcast has ended.〕

─?

─Hey, it hasn’t even been 10 minutes since the broadcast started, you crazy girl!

─Are you serious, insane one?

─What a troublesome person!

─You killed the mood in one second!
