Mollru: Master Climbing Broadcast
The broadcast has started.
Ji-yeon is watching from behind.
It felt like a heavy gaze, but it couldn’t be helped.
I have to endure it.
Unlike last time, when I started with zero viewers and was already running the game in advance,
this time, as soon as I turned on the broadcast, people immediately came in.
It was fascinating to see the viewer count rise quickly, one by one.
[Hello ^^]
[I thought you’d start quickly, but it took you three days]
[It took a while to prepare, didn’t it? hehe;]
[Noona, I was waiting!!!]
[Did you see the Eo War gallery?]
[Why were you late? Why were you late? Why were you late? Why were you late?]
“Hello. It’s been three days. I’m a bit flustered by such a warm welcome, but yes, it’s nice to see you too.”
[Why so late?]
“I haven’t been feeling well. I think I overdid it. Yes, I’m okay now. Thank you for your concern.”
[Noona, don’t die T_T]
[Shouldn’t you take a bit more rest?]
[Sweet boyfriends pretending to be worried, gross lol]
[It’s okay now, so she must’ve turned on the broadcast]
[What have you been doing for three days? What have you been doing for three days? What have you been doing for three days?]
[You were the only one being sincere again]
“You shouldn’t spam the chat. I mentioned that during the first broadcast.”
I felt a bit relieved to see the viewers were no different than before.
Although the chat was a bit rough, it was something I could show to Ji-yeon.
“Wow, how many people are here? Noona, you’re popular!”
[?? Who’s next to you?]
[It’s my younger sister]
[Your voice sounds nice too ^^]
[Ah lol, pretty girls always hang out together lol]
Just as I thought it would be okay, Ji-yeon came up from behind and spoke.
Of course, her voice was picked up by the microphone, and the viewers went wild.
“My younger sister is visiting me in my place. She said she wanted to see the broadcast…”
[Mollru’s sister ㄷㄷ Is she also a troublemaker?]
[It’s embarrassing to show this to a king slayer]
[Ah lol, everyone, be nice in the chat]
[Sweet sister mode on]
[Hello ^^7]
“Hello, Moll…ru is your nickname? Why did you name it this way? I’m Mollru’s younger sister.”
With her bright personality, Ji-yeon easily started chatting with the viewers and responding to the messages.
I imagined her being like that at school as well, surrounded by friends.
<Grandma's rickshaw demolition: Mollru has donated 1000 won!>
-Please turn on the hand cam, Teacher.
“The hand cam… I don’t think I’ll be using it in the future.”
It was a camera I had turned on to prove that I wasn’t using hacks.
I bought a cheap product for one-time use.
I might not even use a camera in the future.
Perhaps because the donations attracted attention, requests for the hand cam started flooding in.
[Harley Bo Moll lol]
[Looks like troublemakers have already attached to the broadcast]
[The moderator is a troublemaker, so the viewers must be troublemakers too]
[Please switch on the cam]
[Turn on the hand cam]
[Why? Why? Why? Why?]
[Oh, come on, be satisfied with just my voice]
[What kind of hand cam is that]
To me, the request for the hand cam was completely unexpected.
Why do they want to see my hands?
While I was quietly watching the incoming chat, Ji-yeon spoke up next to me.
“Did you just receive a donation?”
“Yeah, someone donated 1000 won.”
“Wow, that’s interesting.”
To her, every single part of the broadcasting system seemed new.
“But what is a hand cam?”
“A hand cam is when you show your hands with the camera.”
As I explained what a hand cam was, Ji-yeon’s expression darkened.
“…Do these people want to see your hands?”
“Right? Why would they want to see something like that? My hands aren’t special.”
“That’s creepy.”
[Can’t deny that’s true]
[I never asked for a hand cam]
[Please say it’s weird again]
[Disgusting chat level lol]
Ji-yeon’s expression was increasingly sour.
It was obvious that if this continued, the perception of the broadcast would become negative.
I swiftly changed the topic.
“I’m not doing anything special just because my younger sister is here; I’m just going to play the game while she watches. You all can watch comfortably like the last broadcast.”
[Just like the last broadcast, I understand]
[Everyone, be mindful hehe ^^;]
[Stay comfortable (uncomfortable)]
It was time to proceed with the broadcast.
It seemed the viewers understood my words to some extent, so they wouldn’t chat anything that would make Ji-yeon uncomfortable.
How well things could be controlled, I didn’t know.
As I glanced to the side, I saw Ji-yeon’s face, which seemed fascinated by the chatting.
Since her chin was resting on my shoulder, her hair tickled me.
Even though I had offered her a chair, she had stood up and rested her chin on my shoulder.
It looked almost like a cat being affectionate.
If this becomes uncomfortable, she would likely sit back in the chair.
“Then… let’s start the broadcast.”
And so, the game began.
Ji-yeon was worried about Ji-eun.
It wasn’t always, but it had been that way recently.
Specifically, it started after ‘that incident.’
Originally, Ji-eun had been brighter and more energetic than Ji-yeon.
She had a lot of laughter and was charming enough to lead people and gather them around.
She took on the responsibility of raising young Ji-yeon in place of their busy parents.
Ji-yeon respected and liked Ji-eun.
But Ji-eun, who once was like that, changed considerably.
Because of some kind of incident.
Ji-eun, who used to enjoy meeting people, no longer wanted to meet anyone.
She lost her laughter and words, living cut off from the outside world, staying holed up in the house as if she were dead.
The doctor diagnosed her with serious social anxiety.
She even changed her career to web design, something she could do from home.
Her income may have decreased, but since she never went outside, her spending also reduced, so it wasn’t a problem.
So, the Ji-eun who lived like a mouse in her room suddenly decided to move out, leaving behind only the words that she would live independently.
From then on, Ji-yeon often visited Ji-eun’s place.
She was worried about her older sister, who seemed precarious at first glance and didn’t keep in touch often.
Determined to make her changed sister smile again, Ji-yeon found herself at Ji-eun’s place today.
But Ji-eun, whom she hadn’t seen for a while, had changed quite a bit.
It wasn’t a huge change.
She still trembled in fear when strangers visited and was awkward in conversations with people.
However, her tone had subtly brightened, and her facial expressions were more lively.
Ji-yeon was satisfied with this small yet significant change.
She didn’t know why her sister had changed, but she felt a flicker of hope that they could find the old Ji-eun again.
But surprisingly, Ji-eun’s transformation wasn’t over yet.
Although she didn’t show it, Ji-eun was quite surprised by the scene before her eyes.
“Cut… I could have taken one more, but it’s a pity.”
Look at that.
Her sister was broadcasting.
While chatting with viewers in a perfectly normal manner.
Ji-eun, who couldn’t even speak with others, was now comfortably talking with a large audience.
That’s why she had only searched for a job that could be done at home.
Even when she worked as a freelancer and received tasks, she had always communicated through messages.
Now Ji-eun was naturally conversing with a multitude of unspecified people beyond the screen.
Even though she wasn’t knowledgeable about the game, just from seeing the reactions in the chat and the gameplay on screen, Ji-yeon could tell that her sister had considerable skills.
When she first spotted the microphone and camera, she was genuinely shocked.
A microphone and camera. She thought these were things that didn’t suit Ji-eun at all.
Although she knew they were equipment often used by broadcasters, she couldn’t believe it.
Ji-eun seemed too distant from broadcasting.
But what about the present?
Could anyone say she was lacking as a broadcaster?
Live – 2033.
Two thousand. That’s right, two thousand.
This was the first time Ji-yeon experienced internet broadcasting.
Even for her, who usually only watched YouTube, that number was definitely not small.
Ji-eun had a talent for broadcasting that could accommodate over two thousand viewers.
[Please turn on the hand cam, 5th request]
Among those two thousand, a few abnormal viewers could be seen, but this ratio of troublemakers existed in society as well.
But Ji-yeon decided that after the broadcast, she would firmly speak to Ji-eun about it.
She must enforce strict measures against any chats that involved sexual harassment.
At the start of the broadcast, Ji-eun occasionally asked questions, but she soon fell silent.
She barely spoke except when the viewers stepped out of line or asked Ji-yeon directly.
Whenever she had a moment, she would turn around and seem to be watching the monitor, possibly focused on the gameplay.
It was unexpected.
She had said she knew Eo War, but Ji-yeon never imagined she would take an interest.
Perhaps it was not the game but the broadcasting itself that piqued her interest.
The pressure of the gazes felt burdensome, but once the game started, I no longer cared.
More accurately, I didn’t have the luxury to care.
As the tiers went up and the game level increased, I found myself without a moment’s respite.
The broadcast ended successfully.
With three consecutive wins, I reached the Master tier.
[Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru!]
[Master is so easy to reach lol]
[Mollru, the disaster of the troublemakers]
[It was a foregone conclusion…]
[She reached Master like it was as easy as eating ice cream]
The viewers cheered, and Ji-yeon next to me congratulated me.
Although she didn’t know what Master was, just hearing that it sounded high made the viewers laugh.
It was getting late.
Turning my back on the hands that tried to keep me, I ended the broadcast.
The second broadcast was different from what I had thought, but it went well.
As I stretched with satisfaction, Ji-yeon spoke to me with a serious face.
“Noona, you shouldn’t just ignore sexual harassment.”
“Huh?”
“Starting with them asking to see your hands, and chats saying your voice excites them—all those weird messages shouldn’t be tolerated.”
As if waiting for the end of the broadcast, Ji-yeon had delivered a long speech about my carelessness.
Having the mindset of a man, I found it didn’t bother me too much, but from Ji-yeon’s perspective, it was surely uncomfortable.
Her older sister was being sexually harassed by a group of men.
Still, since they were viewers who came to watch me, I hesitated to ban them.
Feeling the same way, I mentioned it casually, and Ji-yeon hit me on the back.
It hurt…
Her hand had some strength behind it.
Despite the pain, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
I rubbed my sore back and laughed.
