Chapter 6
From then on, it was a continuous solo kill.
The enemy Kha’Zix ganked to stop the overflowing top dump, but he couldn’t stop the monster Mordekaiser who had already devoured seven kills.
In the end, the only result was double deaths stacking up.
Later, Orianna also joined at the top, but a Mordekaiser of this size could easily handle a 3v1.
While I was alone at the top, doing the work of three people, our ally Eles and Silas blew up the bottom.
After the first skirmish, the game hadn’t completely blown up yet, but perhaps due to repeated four-man dives, Ashe, who completed the taboo “Six-Head,” showed up in mid.
Then, one overall chat appeared in the chat window.
[All] ADCARRY (Ashe): Bottom is open.
Seeing that magical chat, I was convinced of our victory.
[All] Sundae Rice Bowl Extra (Samara): ? Why open?
[All] ADCARRY (Ashe): Because our top always uses return teleport.
[All] ADCARRY (Ashe): The enemy top always uses join teleport, yeah.
[All] Sundae Rice Bowl Extra (Samara): Yeah, even if Mordekaiser didn’t come, you guys lost, lol.
[All] ADCARRY (Ashe): That’s stupid, no.
Once again, the time for Just Chatting arrived in the Rift.
The enemy team’s Kha’Zix had already given up and was nowhere to be seen.
Orianna was still diligently playing, thinking there was hope.
But what did it matter?
Three members of the same team had already opened.
In the end, three enemy team members, excluding Orianna and Malphite, completely disappeared from the minimap.
The curious ally Thresh entered the enemy territory and placed a ward in the enemy fountain.
Three champions were standing still in the fountain.
When I pressed the tab key, an impressive eighteen green orbs filled the item slots.
“It’s over.”
With three people having opened, the game was practically over.
However, this victory wasn’t as enjoyable as the previous one.
Lately, playing League of Legends made me wonder why people opened up like this.
Sure, if the enemy opens, my score goes up, but it definitely dampens the fun of the game.
Wouldn’t it be more interesting to team up with someone like Curry and carry the game with a weird pick?
This thought crossed my mind as this match ended so blandly.
Of course, getting lucky early on helped, but…
“Well, luck is a skill too.”
After declaring the open, I invited Malphite to the Chamber of Truth a few more times.
The emotional expression Ctrl+3 that Mordekaiser uses to humiliate his opponents.
A loud guitar riff fills the Chamber of Truth.
Then, Malphite bizarrely used his flash and ultimate in strange places.
Seeing Malphite suffering like this made the earlier tension slightly rise.
After rewarding Malphite with a sledgehammer for his good spirits, I joined our side where we were pushing the twin towers.
[Rift Herald has been summoned.]
The summoned Herald valiantly struck the twin towers before gloriously falling.
Even Orianna, who was working hard, seemed to have lost hope, filling all her item slots with green orbs.
“Ah, damn.”
When I checked Curry’s broadcast, I saw him idly laughing and muttering curses under his breath while pressing tab.
Curry, who was cracking up, soon started selling all his items with a crazed grin, completing the Six-Head after Orianna.
[All] Sundae Rice Bowl Extra (Samara): 30 orbs of healing, lol.
[All] Tool Expert (Thresh): Similar Warmog, that’s hilarious.
[All] Physical Number One (Silas): At this rate, shouldn’t the Dragon of the Rift be summoned?
[All] Justlookcarry (Eles): JG gap.
[All] Justlookcarry (Eles): EZ.
Our team laughed at the enemy team, who had collected 30 orbs.
Since it was my first time seeing 30 orbs, I couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
But as I heard a feminine voice, I quickly shut my mouth.
‘Still not used to it…’
It had already been a week since I became a woman, but I still hadn’t adapted to life as one.
Especially when it came to bathing.
Back when I was a man, I could just shower for ten minutes and be done.
Now it takes 30 minutes just to wash my long hair that goes down to my waist.
As I pondered these changes, the game was over before I knew it.
Curry’s second promotion match had concluded, and once again, hell broke loose in the chatroom.
“I need to use the bathroom.”
Curry, who was staring blankly at the chaos, quickly left the camera.
As Curry fled to the sanctuary of the bathroom, the broadcast began buffering.
[Why don’t we just call it a draw? Why don’t we just call it a draw? Why don’t we just call it a draw?]
[Look at this cut! Look at this cut!]
[Do you want to lose and take a dump? Do you want to lose and take a dump?]
[The true Diamond Guardian ‘Nayun Queen’… (x10)]
[Almighty Akart, protect me with everlasting light…]
[Who am I? ‘Curry Room’s Malicious Viewer’… (x15)]
[That much, you want to shit? (x15)]
[In the game and the real world… (x7)]
[Isn’t Mordekaiser really bad? (x10)]
[Ah~ I want to… (repeat)]
[Mom! When I grow up, I want to kill Curry! (x16)]
[Where did that bastard go? (x16)]
[Oh… Madness, my long-lost friend…]
…
…
…
Madness was here.
A crazy madness that could outdo a joker.
After staring into the abyss for a while, I pulled my gaze away.
I felt like if I kept looking, I too would be swallowed by that abyss.
‘Is he taking a massive dump or something?’
Curry usually doesn’t leave during a broadcast.
Though I had naturally learned this from trying to snipe him several times.
When would he come back?
As I waited, I felt an ominous feeling and quickly turned my gaze to my sniper account.
[Friend List]
– The Lonely Gourmet: [Searching for a game]
– Space: [In game]
– Inderfire: [In game]
“…!”
What on earth was going on?
Curry’s status had changed to [Searching for a game].
It had definitely been [Online] before I looked at the chat.
I started matching faster than ever.
‘When did he start queueing?’
In my anxious state, I began to nibble on my nails.
I hoped that he hadn’t been queueing for long and waited for a match to take place.
As I waited, the ‘Nayun Princess’ account found a match first.
I accepted the match and entered the waiting room, but Curry’s status was still [Searching for a game].
Without a moment’s hesitation, I dodged and prayed with both hands.
Please let me snipe him successfully this time.
As I prayed, ‘Nayun Queen’s’ match was found.
I gulped and pressed the match accept button.
At that very moment, Curry’s status changed to [Champion Select].
“Ah, ah…!”
This thrill!
Just the fact that I had successfully sniped made my hands shake.
Thump-thump—
I was so nervous that I could hear my heart beating.
“Ah, I’m a bit late because I was taking a massive dump.”
Curry sat down with a grin as if nothing had happened.
In that instant, I could see the reflection of my name on Curry’s phone screen.
‘Remote… control?’
I couldn’t see clearly since it was too far, but the words remote and control stood out clearly.
‘Did he remote control his computer from the bathroom using his phone to queue up?’
Was he that unwilling to be sniped?
But what could I do…
‘The more you say not to, the more I want to.’
With a big grin, I shifted my gaze to the waiting room chat.
Nayun Queen has joined the game.
Legendary Legend has joined the game.
Titan has joined the game.
Sarkotime has joined the game.
The Lonely Gourmet has joined the game.
“We’re on the same team!”
“Ah, bros! Now the real promotion match is about to start… huh?”
My voice and Curry’s voice echoed in succession.
On the broadcast screen, Curry froze upon seeing my nickname.
Seeing his slightly trembling hands, it looked like he didn’t want to believe the reality right in front of him.
Sorry, but…
Nayun Queen: Desperate, huh?
This is reality.
“…”
Curry’s expression turned increasingly dark as he read my chat in the waiting room.
