I Have a Reason to Hate Streamers Chapter 109

It all started because of my plans for streaming. Climbing the ranks had been an impulsive decision, but starting a stream had been a long-held dream of mine.

Until now, the connection module I used at ho wasn’t compatible with the streaming setup. I had searched for alternatives, but the conclusion was always the sa: my hardware simply couldn’t support it. However, Sigma’s equipnt was top-of-the-line and fully compatible with the streaming modules I needed.

Once I found out it was possible, and now that I had people who could help , there was no reason not to give it a shot.

Elderin was a popular strear in her own right.

Whether it was gaming or just chatting with her viewers, she excelled at everything. With her good looks and engaging personality, her fanbase was as solid as concrete. Thanks to this, anything she stread was guaranteed a minimum level of success.

Sansa, on the other hand, was known for gaming from afternoon until dawn and keeping her stream on almost 24/7, even when she wasn’t playing. Most strears had heard of her nickna at least once. Honestly, I think she even watched more streams than I did.

‘That’s quite an impressive feat… no, wait, that’s not the point here.’

Sansa, real na Kim Shin-ah, was well-known among freelance designers. She had originally worked in advertising but switched to freelancing as soon as her skills reached a certain level. She was so good that she could pick and choose her projects.

As if to prove her reputation, Sansa handed her tablet.

“The the should have an assassin-like vibe, so I made a few concepts. Want to take a look?”

“You already finished them?”

“Yep! I wanted to put so real effort into this.”

The first thing she showed was a waiting screen for the stream.

I had no idea when the photo had been taken. It was an image of a snow-covered coniferous forest, with —Ga-wol—hiding behind a tree trunk. Judging by the scars on my body, it seed like I was in the middle of a fight. Was this from the semi-finals?

I must’ve seen Ga-wol countless tis by now, but seeing it deliberately stylized like this made it feel unfamiliar.

In the image, my red eyes peered out cautiously, scanning the surroundings. The dagger was hidden near my chest, and a gust of wind blew through, making my hair flutter slightly.

I couldn’t help but be delighted. That mont in the image had probably passed by in the blink of an eye. Unless soone had been watching my matches intently, they wouldn’t have even noticed it.

Now that I thought about it, Sansa was the first person to ever call herself my fan. Knowing how sincere she was about it made smile.

Suddenly, her finger poked my cheek.

“You weren’t listening, were you?”

“Oh, uh… sorry. I liked it too much. What were you saying?”

“I asked if there was anything you wanted to change or if anything looked weird. If you’re happy with it, I’ll just polish it up and send it to you by tomorrow.”

“No, it’s perfect. Thank you.”

All I could do was grin and nod. After all, feedback only works when you actually know what you’re talking about.

When it ca to design, art, or video editing, I was clueless. I could tell if sothing looked pretty or impressive, but that was it. I didn’t know why it looked good or why it felt so special compared to other things.

Rather than offering clumsy suggestions, I trusted the expert. That was the best thing I could do. Then, a thought occurred to .

“Oh, uh… how much should I pay you for all this? It looks like you did a lot of work…”

“You really think I’m going to charge you full price? I’ll take the minimum, but don’t pretend you don’t know once you get popular.”

“I would never! I swear.”

“Great. Oh, and I have one more favor to ask.”

Sansa grinned at , her piercings glinting slightly. Sothing about that smile made feel uneasy.

Sansa still looked like a predator to . I missed my adorable little halfling bard.

Of course, just because I could stream now didn’t an I should rush into it. People didn’t even know I was planning to start streaming. Jumping straight into it would only teach how harsh and cold the streaming world could be.

So, my original plan was simple: make a post in the community and then start streaming. No matter what, my na still carried so weight. I was sure I’d get so attention.

It wasn’t a bad idea. But in a market like this, the more exposure, the better. It was only right to use all the tools at my disposal.

That’s why Sansa and Elderin’s suggestions were so helpful. —At least, that’s what I told myself, though I still couldn’t calm my nerves.

“Da-eun, co here! This is so cute! Hurry!”

“Are we really going out like this? In these outfits? This just… doesn’t seem right.”

“Here, put your face over here. And maybe try doing a ‘V’ with your fingers?”

“You’re not listening to , are you?”

The caras were all set up. The stream wasn’t live yet, but Sansa had her arms wrapped around in the studio. Her soft chest pressed against my shoulder, making feel embarrassed.

On the left monitor, the cara feed showed nestled into Sansa’s arms.

I looked shy and awkward, my lips pursed and my face flushed red with embarrassnt. My expression, clearly showing my discomfort, was obvious. Even now, I couldn’t hide my emotions.

The cause of my embarrassnt? The dog ears on my head and the maid outfit that had been almost forcibly put on . Elderin and I weren’t even the sa size—so why did this maid outfit fit so perfectly?

I had no idea.

I tried to take comfort in the fact that Elderin was wearing one too. But she was already a seasoned pro at streaming, sipping water casually and flashing a playful smile as if nothing was wrong.

I gave up. There was no point in trying to hide my embarrassnt. It was physically impossible.

At least I managed to make the ‘V’ sign Sansa had asked for. My fake smile trembled at the corners of my lips.

“Who does a ‘V’ sign like that? Put it closer to your cheek.”

“Like this?”

“Yep! Now, say cheese.”

“…Okay.”

A person needs to have so pride, but Sansa had done all this work for . I couldn’t refuse her request to take a few photos.

I pressed my fingers into my cheek, making the ‘V’ sign and forcing a slightly less awkward smile. Ti passed, and then, click!

First, we took a few photos together with just Sansa. Then Elderin joined in for a few shots. I could feel my cringe-worthy monts being immortalized in my mind forever. Sansa smiled brightly, clearly satisfied with her work.

Finally, Sansa stepped aside, and the stream began. I gathered up all my courage and waved my hand. I had agreed to make the first introduction.

“Ah, hello, woof! Long ti no… ow.”

I bit my tongue. It hurt.

Hello, everyone. Long ti no see.

You’ve probably seen on my sister’s streams from ti to ti. A lot of people have been asking why I never stream my own gaplay. Well, I had my reasons, but now I think I can finally start.

Please drop by and watch!

With all the trouble they’ve caused, do you really think the stream is going to go well?

They acted like they’d never stream, but now that they’re running out of money, they’re crawling back? Nothing is more annoying than this.

They’ll probably cry after a few gas, complaining about all the snipers. Just turn on your cara and shake your ass instead. We all know you’ll quit once the hype dies down.

I can see it already.

[Comnts]

Truth.

Ga-wol: Snipers welco.

└ For real? I’m coming for you.

└ Can you even handle that tier?

They seem to be matching with a lot of strears. And isn’t that rifle from the Giga team?

Looks like they’re already getting sniped left and right. If they keep climbing, even pros are going to show up.

[Comnts]

They said they welco snipers, lol.
