Former Hero Streamer – Chapter 87

Why isn’t Friede broadcasting?

Posted by: Savings Lead to Bankruptcy

“Didn’t you just win a prestigious computer game tournament? Shouldn’t you start broadcasting right away?”

“Are you seriously taking a break after showing us your last vlog video?”

“Did the lotus really see Friede’s face? You need to spill the tea on what went down!”

“I’m feeling dizzy…”

The Dominator: “This is the Friede you chose, tough it out with sheer will.”

hope5555: “It’s kind of annoying; this is exactly when you should be paddling, but we have this break nonsense lol.”

yaSergei: “They’re missing a golden opportunity and whining about something that’s not even theirs, what a pity lol.”

Ooh: “Are we not being trolled right now?”

nLAmpadu: “Trolled? What? lol.”

Binge-watched all 20 broadcasts already

“So when’s the host coming back?”

Ooh: “Yeah, your host isn’t coming. They’re at a bar with the money you sent, making gene shakes with some guy.”

nIlgwangsogeom: “Lol, they’re going all out, that little shit.”

nZikgaterbelt: “Shut your mouth, please ^^.”

nSweetGuy: “Please retract that statement and apologize immediately. I don’t want to die.”

nSkinnyskin: “Isn’t this the time for some major life education?”

yaSergei: “But seriously, I wish the host would just stream. They’re a newbie and don’t have many videos out yet, and they’ve already binge-watched 15.”

nWashingBasin: “You and the person who wrote that are both sloppy. I’m already on 50 episodes.”

nOoh: “Washing Basin, you don’t have… a life?”

nWashingBasin: “I’ve been a trash collector for 7 years. I’ll protect Friede.”

nOoh: “Your wording is making me dizzy, teacher.”

If Lotus is envious, then upvote it!

“I’m hella jealous that Lotus was the first to spot Friede in virtual reality!”

“Starting with me, lol.”

Red Lotus: “Are you jealous?”

nYaSergei: “Totally.”

nIlgwangsogeom: “No way in hell I’m buying fakes.”

nOoh: “Lol, these days there are too many variations of the Lotus nickname.”

nZikgaterbelt: “I saw a Blue House Lotus last time.”

nYaSergei: “It’s dizzying @@.”

nRedLotus: “Lolololololol.”

“Ugh— It’s chaos, chaos everywhere.”

There’s chaos here, and chaos there.

Where on earth am I supposed to go?

Scrolling through a bulletin board on my smartphone, I suddenly felt my situation was pitiful, making my shoulders droop.

Fed up with searching for ego, I cautiously turned to Da-young and Ah-jin in front of me.

“Uh, um….”

“Is this really not appropriate for this weather?”

“Then… maybe.”

“Guys….”

Please don’t ignore me. I’m cold.

But even if I call out weakly from behind, can they not hear me?

Watching them squabble over a few outfits was giving me a headache.

I glanced at the time displayed on the screen.

It had already been an hour since I entered the store….

Isn’t it usually a 10-minute job at most to pick out clothes?

Thanks to the large store and the many flowing customers, it was fortunate; if it had been a small shop, I would have already eaten ten bowls of awkwardness.

“Ahem!”

Watching Da-young and Ah-jin, who were preoccupied with choosing the next outfit, I cleared my throat awkwardly.

Finally turning back toward them, I tried to muster the softest smile.

“How about we wrap this up and check out somewhere else? Maybe a movie or something.”

“Wait, it won’t be long. I just need to pick a few more.”

“Are you even serious? You said that 30 minutes ago, and you’ve already changed four times….”

“Did you just talk back?!”

Of course I’m talking back, am I supposed to stay quiet?

“This… we’ll… buy it for you. Just p, please wait. Unnie.”

Though Ah-jin’s words were a bit commendable, I still felt…

“Ugh….”

I’m exhausted.

Not physically tired, but mentally annoyed and bored to the core.

I can’t understand how they’re having so much fun chatting like that.

Well, I’m envious. It must be nice to be able to enjoy things like that.

“I just want to play a game.”

Looking around, all my eyes catch are the displayed clothes, customers, and staff.

The chic and cozy atmosphere… must be because it’s a high-end mall; there’s nothing to spend my time enjoying.

There used to be nostalgic game consoles at the meat restaurant waiting area, so waiting was never boring.

Ultimately, my gaze returned to my smartphone once again.

Maybe about ten minutes passed, feeling like I was trapped in this room of time and thoughts.

“Unnie. How about this one?”

“I think… it would fit you the best….”

Now that they seem to have gathered their opinions, I took a quick glance at the clothes they brought.

Seems like they picked outfits without any weird taste mixed in.

Well, this is a shopping mall; they wouldn’t sell clothes so eccentric that I couldn’t even look at them with my eyes open.

“There were so many dresses and flowy clothes earlier, but this isn’t one of those, is it?”

“Those are good too, but you said you didn’t like them, so I tried to get something more office-like. Just try it on.”

“No, I’m going to wear it, so stop pushing.”

I just hope this truly will be the last time, clutching the clothes they brought with me into the changing room.

* * *

“Hey. Ah-jin.”

“What?”

Da-young, who was buzzing earlier, suddenly turned serious and asked.

“What do you think would happen if unnie wears the clothes we gave her?”

What a strange question all of a sudden?

It seemed like a pretty pointless question, considering I could see the results soon.

“Uh, unnie would… it would suit her well.”

“That’s a given. If there was an outfit that you couldn’t pull off with that figure, it wouldn’t be called an outfit. So what I mean is….”

“W-what do you mean?”

“The clothes we just handed over… don’t you think they’d accentuate her chest pretty well?”

At Da-young’s words, Ah-jin absentmindedly nodded.

Yeah, it would stand out. A lot.

After all, the clothes they picked were surprisingly simple yet very tight black office wear.

Of course, since it includes a vest over the shirt, with Se-hee unnie’s figure, the slightly tight vest and the presence of undergarments would accentuate her chest even more.

Especially with such a big chest.

“Why… does that matter?”

Didn’t you know that already?

Da-young turned her head for no apparent reason, avoiding my questioning gaze.

A clear attempt to dodge my eyes.

“D-do you already know?”

They definitely knew; they picked clothes that would accentuate the chest and show off the figure, thinking it’d suit unnie.

But then…

‘Wait, on second thought, she’s a guy.’

Wow, how long have I been thinking this? What a fool I am.

Since I keep calling her unnie, is it just a natural gaslighting effect?

“Hey, Ah-jin. I have something to ask.”

“What now?”

“What’s your chest size?”

“…uh!”

This girl instinctively covered her chest and took a step back.

“W-why do you want to know that?”

“Just need to confirm something. Let me say mine first, I’m a B.”

“Ugh!”

At my bold declaration, Ah-jin’s expression scrunched up.

Ah, judging by that expression, I can guess.

There’s no need to ask after all.

So, I’m a B, and you must be an A.

If we’re comparing grades, it would’ve been fine, but of all things, it had to be chest size.

“What if a guy is bigger than a girl?”

“Y-you idiot, have you finally lost it?”

“I’m just asking. Imagine a guy is a trans, and is an absolute beauty with a stunning body and massive chest. What would you think?”

“…uuggh, that’s just humiliating… I’d rather die.”

“……I just saved you today.”

“What are you talking about?”

Such things exist.

There’s no need to reveal the truth.

It’s unnie’s privacy too, and I’m not the type to spill others’ gossip around everywhere.

Curious if my feelings were just my own, I asked Ah-jin about it indirectly….

‘Well, the answer was as expected.’

It seems this wasn’t just my petty jealousy or envy.

Whether I should be relieved that I’m not such a petty person, or despair over my defeat in self-pity, I didn’t know.

—Click!

“Ugh!”

“Whoa!”

As the changing room door opened, and Se-hee stepped out, Da-young and Ah-jin held their breaths.

Her creamy white shirt buttoned up nicely.

On top of that, a clean, snug-fitting suit vest that pushed down on her upper body, finishing it off with a luxury feel.

Over her shoulders draped a coat like a cape.

A mini skirt that hugged her tummy and thighs tightly, giving the impression of a shape that could burst forth even more than leggings.

Her slender legs stretched out.

And finally….

“Wow.”

“Wow.”

More than just displaying her presence, she showcased a volume defying gravity.

Is this… the might of an I-cup?

The pressure so immense that it feels like I can’t breathe.

“It’s uncomfortable… and a bit embarrassing.”

As Se-hee looked down at herself with a simple evaluation, Da-young could only shake her head.

“This outfit suits you best. So, should we head to the next place?”

“N-next?”

“You’re not done yet?”

Seeing Se-hee looking bewildered, Da-young and Ah-jin nodded as if it were a matter of course.

“We have to do hair and buy cosmetics too. You haven’t even put on base makeup, have you?”

“Uh, such confidence… that’s impressive.”

Still, I’d like to see her get decked out, so I threw in some support, causing Se-hee’s expression to look slightly bewildered.

But what can you do? Considering how she looks without makeup, one can’t help but have high hopes for what she’ll look like all dolled up.

Just like tuning up goods, one can’t let such a beauty slip away.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Da-young grabbed Se-hee’s arm and strutted out of the changing room while linking arms….

—Squish.

“Ugh!”

The soft, fluffy sensation against my arm sent my heart racing.

If soft clouds could take shape, it might feel like this.

‘I really had no choice but to ask.’

Why, even while asking Ah-jin about bust size, did I have to be so fixated?

Because unnie was a guy, and her bust size was an I-cup.

This…

‘Suck it up and be crestfallen because you lost to a guy.’

Feeling Se-hee’s chest against my arm….

This time, Da-young learned that sometimes, a secret known only to oneself can become a troublesome burden.
