Chapter 12
[Title: Is it possible to deflect a fire spell with the back of your hand?]
[ㅇㅇ]
Can high-rank hunters all do that?
I saw it at a bar the other day, ㅇㅇ.
-Bar? Where was it?
-Like that’s possible, lol.
└ ? Isn’t that totally doable for high-rank hunters?
└ Bullshit, you’re not a hunter, are you?
-Depends… It might be different for each hunter.
-I’m a D-rank hunter, and if it’s an E-rank magic-type, I’m confident I can deflect it.
└ D-rank? Go hunt some goblins first.
└ That’s too harsh; chill.
-Just dodge or take the hit. Why use the back of your hand?
└ That’s called ‘romance,’ nods.
[Title: I saw that from afar too]
[ㅇㅇ]
The guy who was hitting the woman is a hunter who recently reached B-rank.
So the opponent is probably at least around that level too.
-She’s pretty, but it was my first time seeing her face.
└ Isn’t she a foreign hunter?
└ Reminds me of that post on the board recently about someone looking for a foreign hunter.
-Why did only you guys see her?s
-Show me what you showed them!
-I tried looking her up, but there’s no info at all, lol.
T/n: “ㅇㅇ” can be interpreted as “Anonymous” in certain contexts, particularly when used online.

《Ahhhhhh…….》
-Lol, it’s broken.
-LOLLLLL
-ROFL
Crunch, crunch.
Si-hyun lay on the sofa, one with it, eating snacks and watching TV.
It was a livestream by her favourite VTuber.
She had already watched almost all of the short edited clips.
So she ended up resorting to watching this.
《Why did I even decide to do this…….》
-You brought this on yourself, right?
-No one told you to do it, lol.
-???: I’ll beat it all by today.
-LOL
As the voice, devoid of spirit, came through, the chat exploded with teasing comments.
Si-hyun, who had been staring blankly at the screen, slowly moved her fingers.
She felt a sudden impulse to join in the flow.
-Totally noob, lol.
Just before pressing the keyboard on her phone screen,
Her fingers hesitated and froze.
‘Is it okay to type something like this?’ she wondered, hesitating.
Everyone else was making fun of her like that.
The streamer, who was already used to it, wouldn’t mind much either.
She knew that logically.
Still, writing it herself made her feel some resistance.
After thinking for a moment, she held down the delete button—
And then rewrote the message.
-Try a little harder, haha.
Hmm, this should be fine.
She joined the chat flow, and it wasn’t too offensive either.
Si-hyun nodded as she sent the message.
《Okay, I’ll try harder this time!》
“Heh…”
Did she see my message?
The line felt like a response to her own chat, making Si-hyun smile bashfully.
There were a lot of other chats, so it might not have been a direct reply.
But it still felt like she was communicating, and that made her happy.
As expected, my favourite VTuber is the best!
Her voice is so cute!
《…Before that, I’m going to take a quick bathroom break.》
-She left?
-Did the streamer leave?
The mic went silent, and the VTuber character’s movements stopped.
‘It’s a short break time, huh.’
Si-hyun stretched her arms up and yawned.
At that moment, the door to the next room opened, and a tired-looking Si-yoon appeared.
Si-yoon’s gaze turned toward Si-hyun.
Unconsciously, her eyes were drawn to that area with an overwhelming presence.
She let out a deep sigh.
Si-hyun, who had just finished stretching, tilted her head in confusion.
Si-yoon turned her head away and looked at the TV.
“…Hmph.”
She made a strange face and then headed to the bathroom.
“…?”
Si-hyun blinked, staring at her retreating figure.
Maybe she’s just tired from work.
Si-hyun turned back to the TV.
Hoping her favourite VTuber would come back soon.
[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won!]
-I want to see a big-boobed version of Momo’s character.
The donation’s voice echoed on the stream.
And the viewers responded to it.
-As if that’s gonna happen, lol.
-Our Momo is sorry…
-LOL
-The name is already “Momobin.” It has “bin” in it, so it’ll never happen, lol.
-ROFL
Si-hyun, watching the chat, rubbed her chin, lost in thought.
Come to think of it, she had read somewhere on the internet before.
That VTuber characters were either purely fictional concepts or modeled after themselves.
Which side does my favorite, Momobin, fall under?
…Even though I’m curious, I shouldn’t look it up.
Isn’t it called the red pill? It would be more enjoyable not knowing the actual person’s face.s
If their appearance doesn’t match their voice, it might ruin the experience.
While Si-hyun was lost in thought,
Si-yoon finished her business in the bathroom and returned to the next room.
After a moment, the broadcast’s mic turned back on, and the VTuber character started moving again.
Si-hyun, who had been spacing out, refocused on the screen.
《Thank you for the donation. And big boobs are only nice to look at. Actually, they’re not good at all.》
-What are you talking about, lol.
-ROFL.
-Still hasn’t recovered mentally, lol.
-LOL.
《Ah, did I make it sound confusing? Anyway! I’m bigger than my model.》
-LOL.
-Bigger than the model? Bigger than the model? Bigger than the model?
-My head’s spinning, lol.
-LOL!
Even though Momo confidently declared it, it didn’t resonate with the viewers at all.
But she didn’t mind.
This kind of thing happened often on Momobin’s stream.
She smoothly changed the topic.
《That’s enough of this topic. I’ll focus on the game now.》
The game started again.
Si-hyun nodded in satisfaction.
Unless it was a talk show, she preferred it when the VTuber focused on the game during gameplay.
That’s more in line with Si-hyun’s taste.
《Ugh… Isn’t this way too hard?》
Momo started over from the beginning again.
Si-hyun joined the flow of comments from the viewers.
-Hmm… Is it really that hard?
She typed a phrase she had seen somewhere on the internet.
Sometimes, there were phrases that stuck with her, even though she didn’t know their origin.
And in Momo’s case,
because the game was so vicious, she was already mentally worn out.
So it lightly scratched at her nerves.
《Grrrr….》

That night.
After finishing her stream, Si-yoon cautiously approached Si-hyun.
“Hey, sis.”
“Yeah?”
Si-hyun, who had been lying on the sofa, sat up to make room for her younger sister.
Sitting together on the sofa, Si-yoon slowly opened her mouth.
“I was just curious. What’s your TriTube ID?”
“My ID?”
Si-hyun handed over her phone without much thought.
After confirming the ID, Si-yoon let out a small sigh.
I’ll check it out later.
Receiving her phone back, Si-hyun spoke with a worried expression.
“Is work really tough?”
“Yeah, a bit? It’s a job with clear pros and cons.”
“…I see.”
Si-hyun nodded lightly.
Her younger sister only mentioned that she was a freelancer but didn’t specify what exactly she did.
It would be rude to dig into it.
Si-yoon was being considerate of her as well.
“Hey, sis, it feels like you always watch the same streams. Are they that fun?”
“You mean Momobin, right?”
“…Yeah.”
Si-yoon felt embarrassed for prying so openly, but she couldn’t hold back her curiosity.
What made it appealing?
Was her stream really that entertaining?
Honestly, it wasn’t a large channel.
She only earned just enough to get by.
Because of that, there were times when her confidence wavered.
“I kind of like people whose kindness comes through in their voice.”
“Voice?”
“Yeah, I mean… People whose tone shows consideration for others?”
“That’s what you see in Momobin?”
“Yep!”
Si-hyun nodded her head enthusiastically.
It was her chance to boast about her favourite VTuber to her sister.
“First of all, I like her because she has a soft and gentle tone, and she rarely gets angry during her streams. She does have a bit of a laid-back personality, but that’s also part of her charm. I like that she seems to live energetically.”
Praise poured out of her like a rapid-fire machine gun.
Si-yoon’s face turned bright red.
However, the excited Si-hyun didn’t notice.
“Her acting tone doesn’t sound awkward at all. Ah, I wonder if there are any videos if I search for her real voice? Suddenly, I’m curious.”
“There… probably aren’t any.”
“Really? That’s too bad.”
Si-hyun twisted the ends of her hair in disappointment.
Si-yoon felt a bit tense.
There shouldn’t be any. Definitely not.
“Her real voice must be beautiful too.”
“Th-that would be nice…”
You’re already listening to her real voice, sis.
Si-yoon held back the words that were about to spill out.
“Hey, do you chat or donate to the stream?”
“I’ve never donated before, but I chat sometimes.”
“Aha.”
So, you do.
What kind of chats would our angelic sister write?
Si-yoon’s curiosity grew even stronger.
‘Since she’s a saintess, her chats must be, like, really angelic, right?’
Various scenarios flashed through Si-yoon’s mind.
At that moment, Si-hyun’s phone rang.
Si-hyun checked the number and answered the call.
“Hello? Yes. Ah, really? Then I’ll visit tomorrow. Yes.”
After finishing the call, Si-hyun looked at Si-yoon with eyes sparkling brightly.
“Was it good news?”
“…Yeah! I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
It was a call from Da-young saying that the item she was going to gift to her sister was ready.
It wasn’t an amazing item since it was made from D-rank materials.
But it was the best she could make given the current circumstances.
When she officially started her activities, she’d have to make something even better.
Si-hyun felt very pleased.
She wanted to tell her sister that she had prepared a gift right away.
But she held it back, thinking a surprise would get a better reaction.
How would Si-yoon react when she received the gift?
She was so, so excited.
As if to express Si-hyun’s emotions, her toes wiggled and twitched.
Si-yoon looked at the soft and wiggling toes.
No matter how she thought about it, it felt like she had a quiet and cute younger sister rather than an older sister.
