You can see a staff or crutch of some sort from below the cloak.
And the hand touching the display seems to be putting some force into it.
She’s not gently touching it.
This made me think,
Haven’t we never seen Gawol moving around in real life?

(Attached Video: Elderlyn Fetching Water)
During broadcasts, her legs were always concealed,
and during collaborations, it was always Elderlyn who moved around to fetch water.
But think about it,
Gawol calls Elderlyn ‘Sister’, and in broadcasting circles, she’s considered a senior.
We can see quite frequently that Gawol respects her senior.
That doesn’t mean they have a bad relationship.
Usually in these cases, wouldn’t it be the junior handling the minor tasks?
At the very least, she should have moved around at some point, right?
So my conclusion is,
isn’t there something wrong with her left leg?
[Comment]
– Wasn’t there a rumor saying she had some health issues?
– (Deleted Comment: There were some people in the industry who already knew this.)
– Isn’t it just that Elderlyn doesn’t take breaks?
└ She doesn’t go to such lengths during other collaborations.

[Title: If that’s the case, how has Gawol been playing games up until now?]
(Attached Video: Gawol, Leg Throat Choke)
These days, all connection units undergo motion capture correction, right?
Is it possible to perform such movements without moving the left leg?

– Huh?
– ?
– There was a brainwave connection method in older connection units;

Was the trembling of her body back then due to actual pain?
Ah..
[Comment]
– d*mn, that makes sense.
– Wow, how did she endure that?

The Korean branch first altered the IKL regulations,
and it seems that the headquarters have applied these changes to the entire league.
Gawol’s debut was so impactful that it overshadowed this change.
Anyway, by regulation standards, there are no issues with participation.
The viewers can rest easy and prepare to watch the Summer League.
Let’s truly break through to the Championship this year!

– Whew!
– d*mn, what kind of assassin is this?

[Title: Would You Like to Have a Drink with Me?]
[‘Gawol’ is live now.]
[ON AIR | 00:53:21]
I never really liked alcohol much.
Although I never thought I couldn’t drink, it wasn’t something I enjoyed either.
Even during my athlete days when I could handle much more alcohol, that remained my stance.
The caloric value of alcohol is approximately 7kcal per gram.
Not only are those calories unwelcome, but alcohol also hinders liver protein synthesis.
During the height of my dedication to body management, alcohol was merely a tasteless and unhealthy beverage.
It was nothing more, nothing less.
However,
“I seem to have grown rather fond of alcohol lately, though I still can’t hold my liquor that well. When I get this slightly tipsy… it’s a pretty nice feeling. Do you all dislike it?”
Now, even with a significantly lower alcohol tolerance,
I’ve somehow come to enjoy drinking.
– NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo
– I like it, keep drinking
– I’m drinking while watching the stream
– Show us your armpit
– Sake is also fine, let’s try it
– Just drink soju already
Less than an hour into the live broadcast with Luche.
I was already feeling tipsy.
The breath I exhaled mingled with the air in the room.
When the faint scent of alcohol stimulated my olfactory senses again, a tipsy sensation overtook me once more.
Though I intended to take it slow this time,
I unexpectedly sipped another mouthful of the clear distilled soju.
The subtle tingling sensation on the tip of my tongue made me instinctively lick my lips.
– Oh
– ChuruupChuruup
– OUYA
The chat room momentarily buzzed.
Since I hadn’t said anything, had Luche done something?
A glance to the side revealed Luche in the process of picking up a piece of dakgalbi.
I don’t know.
Our viewers have always been on the noisy side, after all.
It must have been nothing significant.
Our conversation was typically prompted by questions from regular viewers.
By selecting suitable ones from donations and chat messages, Luche and I engaged in casual conversations.
Then, an impossible-to-overlook donation arrived.
「SigmaLover has donated 10,000 won」
「What was your first impression of Gawol in real life?」
Judging from the context, it was a question for Luche.
Do people usually ask such personal questions in front of others?
My slightly dazed mind suddenly snapped back to reality.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of topic I could barge into anyway.
Not that I could do anything about it, so I just took a bite of dakgalbi.
It was delicious.
Why have I grown to love cheese so much?
Is this what they call umami?
Its chewy texture has bewitched me.
After a brief moment of reflection, Luche began her response.
“In fact, I didn’t meet Da-eun in the game first. She was so adorable, and I really wanted to support her. It might be surprising but doesn’t she seem too energetic to fit the image of a delinquent?”
You’ve thought of me like that.
Hmm. Choosing dakgalbi as the accompanying dish was a wise decision.
It was sweet, delicious, and satisfying.
– If not in the game, where did you meet each other?
– Is it because Sigma’s, maybe related to the hospital?
– Is it true that Gawol has leg issues?
– This doesn’t seem like a mere rumor anymore.
– Are you saying Cerberos lost to someone with a leg disability?
Indeed, the conversation shifted to this topic.
It wasn’t entirely unexpected.
Coincidentally, not long ago, my leg issues had been placed on the table.
It wasn’t a major problem,
Neither the league management nor Sigma’s frontend knew this as a new fact.
It was simply a wave we had to ride through at some point.
In fact, I was planning to disclose it appropriately if it had taken too long.
It was an issue to be settled before the Summer League commenced.
“The leg issues are real. I can’t walk without crutches. Even with a cane, it’s somewhat difficult.”
Given the particular characteristics of the house I lived in, it was difficult to use a wheelchair.
It was a building without elevators anyway.
Now, even though using a wheelchair might be fine, there’s this strange distaste for it.
Once I sit down, I feel like I won’t be able to stand up again.
It’s a foolish thought, but there’s no helping it.
– Do you have sensation?
– Is there still some old brainwave connection device available?
– Aren’t those dangerous?
– What was the synchronization rate during the Arena event?
I don’t want to talk about the connection device.
To talk about that, I would have to mention my parents too.
My heart isn’t strong enough to go that far yet.
“The synchronization rate during the Arena event was 70%. It was terribly painful at first, but humans are adaptable, right? The device I use now has a slightly lower rate. What was it again?”
“64.4%. It’s been gradually decreasing.”
“That’s what it is. It’s significantly better than before.”
– How does something uncomfortable become familiar?
– She’s calmly saying insane things again.
– hahaha
– Even 30% is painful;
My throat was a little dry.
My viewers are fine.
But not everyone in this world watches my stream, and not everyone loves me.
What would the reactions be elsewhere?
Half of me wanted to know, half of me wanted to ignore.
When was the last time I felt this terrified?
Probably the first time I showed my face on camera.
Is it less now?
After taking a large drink of alcohol, it seemed slightly better.
Indeed, fear and anxiety are illusions created by the brain.
If things don’t go well, simply intoxicating the brain to oblivion will do.
“Actually, we practiced a few times before the announcement. Da-eun is an excellent player and please continue to look forward to her performance under Sigma.”
While I was drinking, Luche redirected the conversation.
And… hmm.
*
Phew. We managed to get through without any major issues.
Luche. Iga-yun looked at Da-eun, who had flopped over the desk.
At first, she seemed to be managing well, but it looked like her patience wore thin.
Shortly after surpassing the one-hour mark of the broadcast.
More accurately, the moment the topic of her leg came up, she started drinking much too quickly.
As a result, Da-eun ended up completely drunk.
– Why keep asking to see her body?
– The armpit again? A little dampness? Hmm. How’s that different?
– No… if you show everything, they won’t come back, right?
– I’ll show things one at a time.
Since the conversation was heading into risky territory, I cut the broadcast.
Because of that, the embarrassing behavior of a contracted player was stopped from spreading too far.
“Da-eun, do you think you can get up?”
Tapping her didn’t wake her easily.
There’s nothing I can do about it.
It’s not a place to let her sleep.
In the end, I carefully carried her on my back; she wasn’t that heavy.
Just as we got on the elevator,
A soft murmur from her sleep reached Luche’s ears.
“I’m sorry, Mom… It was my fault… Please come back…”
Today, nothing happened.
She heard nothing, and Da-eun merely fell asleep.
Iga-yun shut her eyes tightly.
