LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 113
I found myself caught in an inexplicable phenomenon that defies logic.
In front of me, the only option was to accept rather than protest.
…Still, thinking about the sudden anguish that came yesterday made me realize, ah, in the end, I am also human. Emotions come before logic.
But I was also the kind of person who could erase such trivial feelings and reestablish myself with logic.
Now that the process is over and the conclusion has been drawn again.
My head felt completely light.
The appearance that has changed now is merely a shell. Even if hormones secreted from various bodily tissues, including the uterus, affected me a little, my inner self remains just the same as before.
“Please sign here, miss.”
– Swish
That’s all me.
And right now.
“…… Your payment has been processed. But can you really carry all of this? It’s too much—”
– Thud!
– ♫♬ I love you!
To what extent.
“Sniff… Hmph…”
“…… Miss…”
– Tug
– ♫♬ I love you!
For the variables that might arise, it was all executed under extreme rationality.
“…… Is it really that good…?”
“Hmph… Um… Not particularly…? Not particularly…”
– Fidgeting
– ♫♬ I love you!
“It’s just… hmph. An experiment. … Yep. Just an experiment.”

Oh
Bear
This kid really doesn’t take a break from streaming
Other guys are all on vacation to recover, but aren’t you taking a break?
Great Si-hyun
My stamina is shot
Demons Competition GOAT
Wait, even after running that hard, you’re not taking a break?
Where did you spend the prize money?
Are you going for Challenger today?
I love you! Everyone is on vacation and I’ve got nothing to watch.
———
“Hello.”
A glance.
———
User ㅇㅇ donated 1000 won.
“Are you sitting down today? Not playing Fiore?”
———
“Ah, no. Instead of Fiore, today I’m going to play a computer game…”
… Another glance.
“…… I was thinking of taking a little break and playing some arcade games.”
———
Oh
But where are you looking?
Arcade, whoa!
Is there someone next to you?
Did Squirrel get you into arcade games?
———
Swipe. Swipe.
“Yes. Squirrel, um… taught me.”
———
It feels like someone’s next to you
Ah
Officer…
Are your parents sitting next to you?
Is today the meeting?
———
“…… Ah, no? There’s nobody around me. I’m all alone.”
Swipe. Swipe.
———
What do you mean, is there someone next to you?
No, there’s no Palchat here.
Moon Si-hyun lives alone.
But it feels like there is! Why do your hands and face keep moving sideways?
Just shut down the Palchat.
Winning has made the trolls rampage.
Since there’s no Palchat, the trolls keep appearing, Si-hyun.
Crush those trolls!
You shouldn’t be acting like this after your masters got beaten up here.
———
“…… Uh, um. If you fight too much, it will lead to forced ejection. …… I’m going to start.”
———
Dodge the trolls~
ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ
Do whatever you want.

What’s that kid doing? [4]
Who’s next to Moon Si-hyun? They keep touching her [3]
No way this isn’t some kind of staging [4]
Seriously, is there someone next to her? [3]
———
No, looking back at it all, Moon Si-hyun, this is seriously weird, isn’t it?
(gif)
She keeps glancing to the side for no reason.
(gif)
Suddenly, her hand stretches below her chest, moving five fingers as if to tickle something.
(gif)
(gif)
Touching, rubbing, or massaging something… is that considered staging?
– ?????
– What’s going on here?
– This is seriously strange.
– Is this real?
– Dude, it could just be rearranging her chair or a montage from a day-long stream.
No, it’s been 30 minutes since Moon Si-hyun started the broadcast.
No, 30 minutes???
No way, shit.
So it’s been 30 minutes and she’s doing that?
– Anyone can tell there’s a scene where she’s helping her boyfriend out with something.
– Those hand movements look experienced, haha.
– Si-hyun’s fans must be crying, lol.
– I suddenly feel dizzy.
– Isn’t this straight-up an obvious motion for male genital touching? What is this?
No way, does her boyfriend not realize he’s being caught, just like his girlfriend who’s a total idiot?
– Finally, a VTuber who only drops red pill hints but doesn’t do any real streams?

Moon Si-hyun’s broadcast

Pause the game for a moment.
I really mean there’s someone here.
Come on.
Who’s next to you? Please answer!
Who?
Answer!
What are you fiddling with?
Who?
Who the hell is next to you?
Who?
Please read the chat!
Who?
What are you fiddling with?
I know you’re reading this, just answer!

(Video donation: Today’s newly uploaded edited version of Moon Si-hyun’s movements.)
———
“……”
Silence.
“…… R-really, there’s nobody next to me. Like this, like this. See? There’s no one, right?”
———
That can’t possibly prove anything.
Turn on the camera, jerk!
Seriously, what are you doing?
Please don’t get caught…
Does waving your arms like that even explain this? Haha, seriously.
———
“…… Ah!”
– Tap
– Swipe
“Wait a moment. Something fell—”
– ♫♬ I love you!
“……”
“…… Ah.”
———
What’s that?
What is it?
I love you?
What does that mean?
Isn’t that the sound that comes from a doll when you press it?
Si-hyun, don’t tell me you were playing with a doll?
So it was a doll…
You little…
Oh damn, seriously…
I almost wanted to commit suicide, Si-hyun.
If you were playing with a doll, then just say you’re playing with a doll!
Is it really that hard to say you were playing with a doll??
———
Oh, seriously! [2]
Hahaha, I can’t even deal with this anymore. [1]
I really want to beat her up. [3]
Oh my god, hahaha [0]
No way, did she really keep quiet when she got caught with a doll next to her because she was embarrassed??? [19]
…… There was a brief unpleasant incident.
Unlike VR, the computer only has one screen, so I couldn’t see myself and didn’t realize that… sitting down, my movements were more visible than I thought.
The excitement of the chat window didn’t calm down at all after that.
An array of ASCII art, fire emojis, and swear words turned the chat window into chaos.
Even though the atmosphere was loose and fun, it was still a serious matter, and secretly bringing in a doll was undoubtedly wrong.
…I didn’t expect everyone to get this angry, though.
To suppress the excessive chat with forced ejection or just to let it slide… the ratio was just too high.
So, to appease the viewers’ feelings, I thought I’d introduce the dolls I brought for today’s experiment one by one since I got caught.
———
Stop.
Stop.
Hahaha.
Si-hyun, stop.
Ah, that doll is just so cute, hehe.
Where did my scissors go…
I think I can stop now, Si-hyun.
Why do you like repeating the same letters like this?
I feel like I’m losing my mind, haha.
I’m really calm now, so please stop, Si-hyun.
Seriously, f*ck, haha, ah.
Hahaha.
———
Everyone enjoyed it to the point of bursting into laughter and calmed down.
So, after the atmosphere settled.
Right now.
“Recommend something.”
———
Elden Ring, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.
Let’s go, let’s go.
Do Sekiro.
Guardians’ Journey.
League of Legends, let’s go, let’s go.
Let’s go. This is a game all streamers have to try at least once.
Guardians’ Journey.
League, league, league.
Let’s go with Guardians’ Journey, it’s hot lately.
———
The chat window was filled with names of numerous games.
Still, even though I didn’t have the energy to start immediately with Fiore, I decided to ask for a game to play for a bit.
“…… Hmm.”
I scanned through the chat, which was flying by at the rate of up to 18 messages per second.
“…… Guardians’ Journey? Is KaJo the abbreviated form that everyone keeps mentioning? Is this game fun?”
And from the 73 messages recommending it the most along with an appealing description, I picked it out.
———
Yes, yes.
Yes, yes.
Those guys, they won’t play this even if you ask them to for real.
It’s fun.
Really enjoyable, it’s a thinking game, but not too hard.
It’s a god game.
Please play it… It’s super popular, but the crazies who are into Fiore won’t touch it even if they die.
———
“A thinking game?”
After winning, yesterday and today, finally, there were much more viewers who recognized me as a logical player.
In the end, it’s like the viewers fell for a kind of framing; for me, it’s only natural.
…But still, being recognized by the viewers over yesterday and today feels… pretty good.
“…… Guardians’ Journey. I’ll look it up.”
Once I searched online, it popped up quickly. VR game, Guardians’ Journey.
The price is…
80,000 won.
“…… Um, that’s quite pricey.”
———
But there are prizes, right?
The prizes are hundreds of thousands per person, so why is this?
You’re not spending it all on dolls, are you?
“…… There’s, um… plenty of money. The prize… right. Then I’ll go with this game.”
With trembling hands, I finished the payment and started downloading.
Guardians’ Journey had quite a large file size.
From the viewers’ words, it seemed like an adventure game… with a story like that.
I didn’t dislike this type of game since many arcade games were similar.
“…… Ah, the download is done.”
———
Oh
Wow
Whoa
Whoa
Your puzzle-solving skills aren’t bad for this level, right?
Wow, Da Si-hyun [laughs].
Wow, you broke through like this?
Your physical skills are seriously good.
———
A few minutes had passed since starting.
After clearing the tutorial section and finishing off the tutorial boss, I opened the treasure chest that fell before me as a reward.
[Adventurer’s Armor]
As I held it up, gleaming in gold…
I felt like I understood all the mechanics of this game.
“…… I totally got it.”
I felt like I had a rough, no—complete grasp of everything.
I stretched my body a little and said lightly.
“From now on, I’m going to run.”
———
Whoa
Whoa
Great Si-hyun
You’re really going to show us???
Whoa
For real, you seem smart unless you’re stubborn.
Bear Doll Family MVP’s prestigious legacy, lol.
Whoa…
But really, I feel like you’re going to do well, haha.
Let’s go for a speedrun, lol.
Six hours later.

Oh god, I seriously want to choke this kid so badly, no joke. [5]
Is this girl doing this on purpose? [4]
‘Totally got it’ means: I have no idea. [4]
I’m not even joking. I seriously went to lie down because my head hurt from watching right now. [4]
Where did those idiots who said she’s actually smart go? [4]
Moon Si-hyun’s newcomer viewers… the process of her blackening over six hours… [73]
Si-hyun, I’m dying for real. [5]
Where does this kid live? [4]
