Chapter 87


Diah’s first Battle Island broadcast title.

Unexpected FPS skills revealed just 10 minutes into the broadcast.

A stunning scene where she utilized her motorcycle like a bomb, taking out the last remaining players in one go.

Everyone unanimously agreed that it was enough to make the Noeburi even more ‘vicious.’

Considering that the Noeburi were already filled with thoughts of targeting Diah, the second round of Diah’s Battle Island ultimately ended up like this.

– Tudadadada─!

– Whip! Purbubung─!!

– Bang! Bang! Tangtangtang!!

“Why does it keep coming only for me…?”

– Do you really not know, Diah Diah? LOL

– That’s the fate of a Battle Island streamer, just accept it.

– Look at those snipers everywhere!

It became a Diah raid, not a battle royale FPS.

Was it because all the Noeburi had realized Diah’s shooting skills were no joke?

The first round, where they underestimated Diah and charged at her, felt worlds apart from the current situation.

– Whip─! Wharak!

– Tudadudududu─!

– Kwang!

Only after ensuring they had all sorts of auxiliary items like Molotov cocktails and grenades did the Noeburi finally appear.

Vehicles that followed Diah wherever she went until the very last moment.

Even if Diah’s Battle Island skills were excellent, there were limits to being alone.

As the battles continued, HP recovery items like first aid kits steadily dwindled.

Strictly speaking, Diah was playing an individual match, not a team one.

However, since dozens of Noeburi were unitedly targeting only Diah, she was increasingly pushed to a defensive position.

– Tadatadang!

[<LUX>Diah>>>☠ Making a trip to Mars]

[<LUX>Diah>>>☠ Don’t eat tools like CS]

“Ugh, I managed to take them out─”

– Tudadadada─!

[If you want to live, pay 500 won>>>☠<LUX>Diah]

“Uwaaaaah!!!”

– Finally got her ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Did she really ‘take them out’? <<< Magical phrase

- What a Pterodactyl scream ㅎㄷㄷ

- That scream is really delicious.

- Yes, this is it!

- Avatar has fallen again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Anyone would think she actually got shot.

Thus, Diah did not win even once after the first round.

Diah's avatar displayed a grim expression in response to the ongoing malicious actions of the Noeburi.

- Whoa

- Bi—ing!!!

- Jerking off, Diah is furious ㅎㄷㄷ

- Diah, protect!!!!

- Five consecutive raids were too much, for real.

- The Noeburi messed up, the Noeburi messed up, the Noeburi messed up...

- Just one more match, one more match, one more match, one more match, one more match...

After that, she stayed in the Battle Island lobby screen for quite a while.

No matter how much time passed, the game start button never got pressed.

Realizing something was amiss, the Noeburi began...

- Ding.

[Heahool has donated 30,000 won!]

: Use this to buy a cotton candy box, Diah!

[Agatreham has donated 30,000 won!]

: You did great in Battle Island, our Diah looks like she could be a pro!

They began what is colloquially referred to as 'financial therapy.'

Accolades were also provided to soothe Diah.

Diah's avatar's furrowed brows returned to normal around three minutes later.

Soon, Diah's energy and voice returned to their original state, and with the declaration that this would be the last round, she pressed the game start button.

However, unlike the last few hours spent simply looking for a means of transportation like a motorcycle after finishing light farming...

- ? Diah, there was a barrel over there.

- Why is she only picking up a pistol?

- A pistol won’t kill you outright even if you hit a headshot.

Diah, who had only farmed explosive items like 'gas cans' and 'sticky bombs,' then hid in a warehouse.

The moment Diah started placing all of her explosive items around the warehouse...

- Thunk.

- Plop.

- Thunk. Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.

So, after placing all of her explosive items thoroughly on the warehouse floor,

"I swear, the first Noeburi who comes into this warehouse will die with me☆ If you have confidence, come in─!"

- What?!

- Our Diah has become a terrorist!

- This is transformation!

She pointed the muzzle of her held pistol toward the nearby explosive items and boldly declared her intention to execute a 'water ghost strategy.'

Adding that she would not continue to just take it lying down, she prepared for them.

Still, footsteps continued to approach.

For the malicious Noeburi who had been torturing Diah, her declaration was not a threat but rather a provocation.

- Squeak!

- Step.

- Step, step.

Just then, when approximately three or four Noeburi members had finally entered the warehouse Diah was hiding in...

"Art is─"

- Bang! Bang!!

"An explosion!!!!"

- Purbubububububung!!!!

Indeed, Diah fired the nearest explosive item, causing all surrounding explosive items to explode in unison.

[<LUX>Diah>>>💥<LUX>Diah]

[<LUX>Diah>>>💥 Gojo Satoru is a famous criminal]

[<LUX>Diah>>>💥 3-minute black bean master chef]

[<LUX>Diah>>>💥 QQ performance rated EQ rated W rated]

Ultimately, Diah and the malicious Noeburi members who came to catch her died together in the explosion that engulfed everything around them.

Yet, Diah’s avatar had a brighter expression than ever.

“Teaching those bad Noeburi a lesson successfully─☆”

– Lesson (including herself)

– Was it not a threat at all? LOL

– Those who entered the warehouse, even knowing she would self-destruct, and those who truly self-destructed, made no difference.

– The bug cleaning (that VTuber and that viewer joke).

– Whoa, the C4 bomb’s form is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Wasn’t this supposed to be a battle royal? Why is nobody aiming to win?

– Anyway, as long as it was fun, that’s OK!

After checking the reactions in the chat for a bit, and confirming that most found it enjoyable, she finally prepared to end her broadcast.

“Bye-bye─☆”

– Diva!

– Diva!

– You’re coming tomorrow, right?

– Sleep well.

– Yup, that was enriching.

Finally, click.

She pressed the broadcast end button at the top of the screen, completely finishing today’s broadcast.

Shortly after, she accessed the Fantasia group chat she had forgotten about.

However…

[Jeong Maria (Cream)] – (10th Episode Preview Capture Image 1)

[Jeong Maria (Cream)] – (10th Episode Preview Capture Image 2)

[Jeong Maria (Cream)] – Is this Haeun?

[Park Miso (Mail)] – (Lion emoticon with a nosebleed)

[Park Miso (Mail)] – The hanbok fit is insane!

[Park Miso (Mail)] – Truly, an actor is an actor!

[Lee Yeena (Yuna)] – But why did she suddenly disguise herself as a dancer?

[Park Miso (Mail)] – I found out that Queen Yoon had an assassin planted!

[Kim Eunhye (Ria)] – How about us wearing hanbok and taking a group photo? I think it would look really pretty.

For some reason, the discussion about the kiss scene between Lee Hyun and Yeongwol had completely disappeared.

So now, even if she attempted to clarify about the kiss scene, it seemed it would only have a counterproductive effect, and she logged off without sending any messages.

*

Recently, the drama “Moonlight Pierced by Clouds” has been gaining the most attention, airing on Fridays and Saturdays.

While reactions online, which are not limited by time and place, have shown immediate results,

“I’ll be back from school.”

“Have a good time~.”

Haeun thought the offline reactions from her classmates wouldn’t be known until Monday.

Strictly speaking, Haeun had also anticipated that the kiss scene aired last Friday night would be a hot topic among her classmates.

She expected questions related to the kiss scene from her friends, just as the members of Fantasia had inquired about her first kiss scene filming.

Arriving at the classroom early in the morning as usual,

Haeun quietly sat at her seat until the other students except for her trickled in.

“Please just say one word about how it felt to do lip-locks with Yoo Seongjae, Lee Haeun!”

“That didn’t happen. Sorry.”

“Stop lying!”

“Really.”

It wasn’t until she had to respond to the flurry of kiss scene related questions aimed at her right after the short morning assembly without batting an eye that things became problematic.

Since she was only stating a 100% truthful answer, Haeun could remain confident.

However.

“Hey, Haeun.”

“?”

“Um, about this fall festival performance. Our class has decided to do a musical. I was wondering if you could play the lead role.”

From the class leader, who was a youth fashion model, came a casting proposal regarding the upcoming fall festival.

More precisely.

“Hmm… why me?”

“Well, you sing well, and you did great in the kiss scene.”

“…? It’s fine if I sing well, but what’s with the kiss scene?”

“Our musical’s ending has a kiss scene.”

The realization that the lead of the musical had to perform both singing and a kiss scene made her unable to keep her gaze steady, let alone respond with a simple ‘okay.’

“Um… sorry, I’ll look for someone else─”

“If we win first place at the festival, we can go on a school trip to Japan! Please help us just this once!!”

Then, she met the class leader’s expression, more earnest than ever.

She could feel the cold sweat beading on her forehead.

As the leader’s persistent pleading continued and Haeun found herself in a very awkward situation,

Meanwhile, in MBS’s variety department, which was slightly away from Haeun’s forecasting.

“Um, Junie, is it possible to get Haeun for the next Infinite Challenge Music Festival? If Haeun participates, I feel like it’s going to be a huge hit.”

“Uh… I think I could ask, but I’m not sure she’ll accept.”

A discussion between Lee Jun, aiming for another stage for Pinocchio, and PD Jeon Yoonseop of Infinite Challenge was taking place.
