A blank-faced virtual avatar.
A cold, crimson gaze.
And right beside it—
[LostAndNowStranded] - I just want to go to sleep right now.
[SaveUpAndGoBankrupt] - Who should we execute next?
[SlicethisDicethat] - Any hints? Please, I'm begging ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[MorningSquid] - Weren’t we supposed to be soulmates, Diah? Why has your heart changed?
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - Noeulis unsubscribing makes sad.
The Iron Fist chat window.
Originally ant for brief introductions before matches, it now resembled a dieval torture chamber, flooded with the desperate pleas of its victims.
“All... all wrong! Seriously?! Now I’m really starting to feel hurt. Not even one of you knows how I feel?!”
Oh no, baby Diah is in her rebellious phase.LOLUh-oh, the bomb collar is about to go off.What did these poor Noeulis do to deserve this?This is peak entertainnt.Dark-mode Diah tastes kinda good, om nom nom.Collective punishnt... we're dood.The vicious cycle continued—
Wrong answers.
Ti running out.
Another Noeuli dragged in as a sacrifice to extend the ti limit.
And as ti passed, the number of hostages only grew.
Yet, not a single Noeuli had guessed Diah’s feelings correctly.
Strangely enough, every answer given so far had been completely off the mark.
“Alright, ti’s up. PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut, make your choice. Execution or dragging soone down with you?”
Diah’s voice grew colder with every word.
The usual bright and lively tone was nowhere to be found.
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - STOP!!!
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - LET’S END THIS MADNESS!!!
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - NO MORE!!! NO MORE POINTLESS KILLING!!!
[SlicethisDicethat] - ?
“Hah. Hah. So, you choose death. Goodbye, PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut... and the rest of you fake boyfriends!”
[SaveUpAndGoBankrupt] - You son of a—
[LostAndNowStranded] - If you wanna die, die alone, you @$#%!
[MorningSquid] - He thinks he’s so noble hero, but there ain’t no Shanks here, dude.
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - WAIT!! STOP THE EXECUTION! HALT THE MOUSE CURSOR!!
“What. What now.”
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - I never said I wanted to die.
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - I choose dragging soone down.
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - Let’s go.
“Hah. Should’ve said that from the start.”
And so, the countdown tir on their bomb collars was extended once again.
Then, from the chat, another unlucky userna was selected and dragged into the Iron Fist waiting room.
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - I have co... to end this war!!
[MorningSquid] - SHANKS?!
[SaveUpAndGoBankrupt] - I give it one minute before they start begging for rcy.
“Alright, the countdown starts now. Tick-tock, tick-tock~.”
Thus began yet another round of Guess Diah’s Feelings.
The Iron ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Fist chat turned into a frenzied speed ga.
But unlike the others, who had been floundering with completely off-the-mark answers—
This new contestant actually hit the nail on the head.
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - You just want to make up with the Noeulis.
“...Who are you?”
Diah’s avatar, still blank-faced, showed a flicker of surprise.
???THAT’S the right answer?!So all this ti, she just wanted to reconcile?Bro’s keeping the RP locked in lmao.We didn’t think like a one-year-old, so we failed.Dude’s a legend.[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN YOU!!!
[MorningSquid] - SHANKS!!!
[SaveUpAndGoBankrupt] - You’re the hero of our village...
[SlicethisDicethat] - WE’RE SAVED HOLY SH—
And with that, the never-ending cycle of bomb-pass finally ca to an end.
The Noeuli who guessed Diah’s feelings on the first try was awarded the Official Boyfriend Certificate™.
Shortly after, Diah’s voice ca through the mic.
“How did you guess my feelings?”
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - It’s the sa as when my girlfriend and I had a fight. After about a week, her voice sounded just like yours.
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - I figured she probably wanted to make up. And I was right.
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - Anyway, I get to live now, right? Thanks~.
A simple yet effective answer.
The chat, which had been filled with desperate pleas monts ago, was now overflowing with joy.
Except—
“I never said I’d let you guys live, did I? You fake boyfriends.”
Right.
From the very start, the only Noeuli allowed to survive was the one who answered correctly.
Sowhere along the way, the others had deluded themselves into thinking that if one person got it right, they’d all be spared.
The sudden realization hit like a truck.
This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.
The victor? Already standing over their corpses, taphorically teabagging them.
[DeliveryReviewScamr] - See ya, ‘fake’ boyfriends.
[SaveUpAndGoBankrupt] - PLEASE HAVE RCY!!!!
[MorningSquid] - THIS BACKSTABBING BASTARD!!!
[SlicethisDicethat] - I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY
[PotatoSweetPotatoChestnut] - Ah... I lived a good life...
[LostAndNowStranded] - NOOOOOOOO
A few clicks later—
Diah carried out the executions.
Of course, there was still a revival chance.
A slightly softer voice then announced a special condition—anyone who wrote a heartfelt apology in the fan café would be unbanned.
“You have to list at least five reasons why Diah is amazing. If I like it, I’ll bring you back.”
So our baby isn’t a spirit, but a necromancer...“Rise.”But wait... aren’t we supposed to make up with her?Why is this so cute??So hmph is a real thing after all...And just like that, the tense atmosphere of the stream gradually lightened.
Because in the end, Ha-eun knew better than anyone—
She couldn’t stay sulky forever.
‘It’s fun at first, but if I drag it out too long, it just gets weird.’
More than her personal feelings, the broadcast ca first.
Even her disappointnt in the Noeulis—
Had just been part of the act.
Really.
“Alright, hands out, everyone. We shake hands when we make up.”
What?Hand.Soft baby hands, co here!Hand.Hand hand hand.Foot.Hand.Lips aren’t allowed?Hand.“What’s with the foot and lips?! I swear—!”
A few Noeulis who dared to ntion body parts other than hands were imdiately scolded for being too suggestive.
anwhile, Diah’s virtual avatar mid a handshake in the air a couple of tis.
It was, after all, a matter of keeping her RP consistent.
She was a one-year-old spirit, not a worldly human, and truly believed in sincere apologies, handshakes, and hugs as ways to nd broken bonds.
So, after wrapping up the mass handshake with her Noeulis, she even summoned an SD avatar of a Noeuli and gave it a hug.
Because Diah gets upset easily, but she also forgives easily—and she had to stick to that roleplay.
Then, right after, Ha-eun brought up sothing she had been secretly checking on her phone this whole ti—onto the stream.
—Ding.
[Diah Diah]
[500,078]
“Tada~! We finally hit 500K~!”
OhhhCongrats!Wait, it went up already?!Hold on tight, we’re going up again!LOLㅊㅊㅊㅊㅊㅊAs the flood of congratulatory ssages rolled in, Ha-eun let out a soft chuckle.
So they were gonna celebrate like this all along... then why were they ssing with earlier?
Well, whatever.
They had already shaken hands and hugged it out.
Switching her avatar’s expression back to its usual cheerful smile, she also adjusted her voice to match.
“Let’s keep going strong~! Until we get that Gold Play Button~~.”
Having finished her official 500K milestone speech, she was about to resu her Iron Fist matches.
That’s why she prompted Noeulis to drop their usernas in the chat again.
But then—
—Ding.
[User eternalyg has donated 10,000 KRW!]
“Hey, isn’t that ‘Review Scamr’ Noeuli cheating? I swear they said they had a girlfriend.”
The ssage popped up on-screen.
For a mont, Diah’s avatar remained frozen.
Then, slowly—her cheerful expression vanished.
Her face blanked out.
Gasp.Uh-oh.So this is what it feels like to get caught cheating.Bro, get out.Her face turned so scary LMAO.Imdiately after, the Noeuli who had previously guessed Diah’s feelings correctly—was summoned into a one-on-one chat.
And then—
A voice as cold as ice.
“You. Explain yourself. A week after your girlfriend got mad? How exactly did you know what that sounded like?”
[ReviewScamr] - Hmm.
[ReviewScamr] - I’ve been exposed.
“Oh, so you’re proud of it? You’re just this confident about two-timing your girl while I’m right here, watching with my own two eyes?”
[ReviewScamr] - Well...
[ReviewScamr] - That’s how it turned out.
“...Wow. Not even a single apology? I spent the whole day thinking about my Noeulis, brainstorming fun things we could do together—and you?! While I was worrying about you, you were out cozying up on a date with your girlfriend?! WOW. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS—!!”
