Former Hero Streamer – Chapter 111

Sure, here’s your request translated into English with a comedic casual style:

—

[Why is their body so flexible? Did they do yoga in real life?]

[Look at Seokgulam being all flustered and wide-eyed, lol]

[Their reaction is absolutely insane!]

[This reminds me of that old legendary battle meme, lol, when the baker dodged a spear that came right in front of Bush.]

[You know about that… so what happened to Chuncho?]

[Let’s go!]

Yuri, who was watching Friede’s stream, splashed some cold water on her face to ease the fatigue around her eyes.

The constant barrage of chat made it hard to keep up, even when she squinted.

But she didn’t turn off the stream or change the topic.

She fought magnificently, taking out three opponents at once and counter-attacking with flashy movements during a surprise ambush.

“What do you think? My sister is really popular, right?”

Even though it wasn’t boasting, she puffed her chest with pride, and I tilted my head slightly as I expressed my honest thoughts.

“Yeah, definitely.”

Even surpassing the corrections of virtual reality, there was something captivating about Friede’s gameplay.

Not just her looks and character design but also her weapons were flashy and cool, making everyone want to follow her victorious steps.

Yuri felt a twinge of jealousy toward Friede, or rather, Sehee.

They’re both heroes, but she really shines here.

‘I’ve also had my share of hardships.’

I was confident I wasn’t lagging behind anyone.

However, the gap between her and Sehee felt as wide as the sky and the earth, so it wasn’t unreasonable to feel a bit despondent.

How many tough trials had she overcome to be this different?

‘No, no.’

I shook my head vigorously, shaking off these feelings.

No matter how bright she shines, she’s someone who tried hard to save me.

She was summoned as a minor and, no matter how dark social matters may be, there was something called awareness.

I knew very well how unprecedented this consideration was.

As I blankly watched Friede’s stream for a while, I suddenly had this thought.

She’s such a radiant person.

Even if I’m not as bright as her, I could at least find my own light.

Because…

‘I’m also a hero.’

So this thought crossed my mind suddenly.

“Should I try streaming too?”

“Huh?”

Ajn’s lips blurted out in a dumbfounded response as if she hadn’t heard me, but Yuri quietly focused on watching Sehee’s, Friede’s, broadcast.

—

“Whoa, four consecutive wins, what a steal.”

Seokgulam, or rather, the player who introduced himself as Yoonsu, was becoming increasingly lighter in presence.

Earlier he was serious, asking what they would do in the pre-event and if he wasn’t planning to take it lightly, and now after winning the game, he was reveling in the scent of victory, which made me chuckle.

He’s quite the high-energy, colorful character.

Probably more than 70% of the conversation during the stream so far was taken up by him.

Ajn was probably going to have a tough time editing to find my parts later.

At that moment, Eunha, who was shaking her hands off, frowned and shoved Yoon-soo away.

“Hey, don’t annoy my sister and get lost.”

Where exactly is he supposed to go?

At least give direction, or else he’ll chatter away non-stop.

Thinking about it, I’ve seen this type quite often somewhere.

You know the type.

The weirdly high-energy person who cracks jokes sometimes but mostly attracts immense attention.

‘Ah, I remember now.’

It’s like that “Ppaeppaey” character.

Of course, Ppaeppaey was way over the top, but this Yoon-soo gave off a shrunken version of that vibe.

If you took a few spoonfuls of sugar and stirred them around in Ppaeppaey’s brain, that’s probably what this guy would be like.

“It was fun teaming with you, sis. That’s how a team should be.”

“Your team is even more amazing.”

“No, ours is the strongest for sure. But you’re not to be underestimated either.”

[Lol, look at the lotus wrapping.]

[So sweet it might rot my teeth.]

[Our lotus is only sweet for Friede… Gotta keep her safe.]

[For real!]

The compliments for the lotus had everyone buzzing.

Honestly, I don’t think my skill ever falls behind anyone, but seeing Eunha and Yoon-soo’s skill shows me the true power of STK.

Compared to the old allies I used to play ranked matches with, it’s like night and day.

I’ve never played a game this comfortably before.

If Eunha is this good, I wonder how exceptional Warden, the one known as the best in STK, must be.

I don’t think I’d lose if we faced off, but it’s funny how I began to imagine how well we’d coordinate if we were on the same team.

Just then, Eunha scooted closer.

“I really love playing games with you, sis. Right?”

“Yeah, it was fun.”

“Yup, yup. So, how about it?”

Her small figure snuggled in close.

The way her face flushed slightly was just beyond cute.

Having a younger sister like this would truly be a joy.

Usually, they say sisters with a minimal age gap end up having hellish times together.

But I think Eunha and I surprisingly get along well.

“Hey sis, wanna try going pro?”

“Pro debut?”

[Whoa, oh my god!!! Hahaha.]

[Something huge is really coming!!!]

[Calm before the storm.]

[Is this the combo of Warden, Lotus, and Friede for real… My heart is seriously racing.]

[If those three get together, it’s a guaranteed three-time Soul Cup win, all clean sweeps, every league win, no doubt.]

[So everything’s a lock, huh?]

[With that level, her market value would skyrocket, can the trio of Friede, Warden, and Lotus handle it?]

[No idea.]

The excitement wasn’t just in the chat.

“I just have to ride the bus, right? Friede, please sign up right now! If it’s you, you’d be the main player without even a test.”

[Yoon-soo’s kinda gay…]

[If Friede joins STK now, you could become a contender, lol.]

[Speaking of which, the stove league just ended, so if Friede joins during the season, someone has to drop down to contender, huh? Lol.]

[If it’s Yoon-soo, that’s sweet.]

“Why would I be the contender? I’ve worked my butt off with Chanhyuk, you know?”

What’s happening here?

Why is he reacting in my stream chat?

“Are you watching my stream, Seokgulam?”

“Oh, I just connected to the stream for a moment. I mean, it’s Friede appearing, haha!”

[Yoon-soo is actually a broth…]

[Here’s another sweet broth being born.]

[Now we just need Warden.]

[Warden is really just a thick-headed guy who only knows games. He’d probably have a hard time even swaying Friede.]

[Friede… totally annoying. Tsk.]

[Get rid of those lovey-dovey comments.]

“Whoa, the firepower is insane.”

With a slightly stunned expression, Yoon-soo was taken aback by the relentless flood of chat and hurriedly stepped back.

It was almost a gesture of trying to stay away from the bomb that is me, or something like that.

‘Well, it got quiet…’

By the way, how should I consider Eunha’s proposal?

At first, I thought there was no way I’d do it, and had lived by that mindset.

But now, seeing my dear younger sister’s bright eyes and her pleading gaze… I realized this was a dilemma I had to think hard about.

“Really? Really? If it’s you, I’m sure you’d do amazing. Let’s conquer the world together. Streaming can come later, right?”

“Um, well…”

“Our team has tons of money. They can pay you well, and the food is really tasty, and the lodging is super comfy. Let’s become professional gamers together.”

Whoa, chill out, Eunha.

If you keep begging like that, people will talk.

[Lol, I didn’t know Lotus had this image?]

[Obsessive Lotus… this is valuable you know?]

[Regretful obsession… Ultimate Drone Technique.. Ugh! My head!]

See? People are already gossiping.

If there were no other heroes in existence, if right now and forever I was the only hero in this world, I might have been tempted by Eunha’s proposal.

Sure, at first, managing schedules and all might be too tight for me, and I wouldn’t want to.

But with a connection like Eunha’s, I might have thought it could be okay.

But…

“Sorry, I’m not thinking of going pro.”

I want to save the heroes.

Even if the form changes, I hope that the connection doesn’t break and we can stay together for a long time.

So I had no choice but to decline Eunha’s proposal.

If I went pro, I wouldn’t have the luxury to care about other heroes.

I’d have to focus entirely on my team and team members instead.

“Is that so?”

She nodded once while looking disappointed.

“Ah, it’s okay. If you don’t want to, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Thanks for understanding.”

“No, don’t apologize. Your intentions are the most important. I’m just a bit sad, but I don’t want to see you doing it reluctantly.”

She placed her finger on her lips, and with a bright smile, Eunha seemed to feel both understood and proud of herself, so I unconsciously rubbed my cheeks.

“Let’s play games together later. I’ll always support you.”

“Okay, sis. I will support you too.”

[Bring it on… unleash the hype…]

[I think there’s no admin right now. This is the time.]

[You fools better not get in trouble when Friede comes with an Islam concept again.]

[TV?]

[Lol, you crazy fools.]

[Leave that to future me. I’m counting on you all~]

Ah, since it was an impromptu stream, I didn’t call Ppaeppaey.

Is this how it ends up?

Normally, I would have struggled to read the chat and ban them one by one.

Now, it’s just tiring and annoying.

Moreover… I didn’t feel the need to fight against a chat like that.

So the answer is simple.

With my finger hovering over the disconnection button on the panel, I declared the end.

“Time to start wrapping up the stream…”

And my comment was cut off midway and floated away, untransmitted in the air.

Ah, I pressed it too quickly.
