Chapter 22: The Saint Who Torments Her Viewers with Her Malicious Broadcast

The body of the Saint was overcome by a headache, one I had never felt through the game alone, stabbing my brainstem, possibly due to the remaining effects of alcohol and the fatigue that had plagued me.

I leaned back in my chair so hard that the backrest creaked, feeling the sensation linger.

The in-game screen, which still hadn’t left, displayed a victory message, even after several minutes had passed.

Yes, we won.

“That was reckless…”

The strategy was reckless, literally.

It was a gamble with no reason behind it.

Even though the opponent had less at stake, both teams declared an all-in, trying to settle everything with a single move.

The enemy team accepted the bet, agreeing that it was the right choice.

Yet, we won.

The exhilaration from victory always intoxicates the spinal cord, but this time it was more intense than usual.

I couldn’t help but smile and tremble with joy.

This was because the turning point of the victory was our assault with just two people against the entire enemy team, including the six players and their forces.

Although the Gladiator died in the process, we miraculously stopped the enemy from claiming the objective and, after respawning with our teammate, rushed to the core, and the game ended unexpectedly quickly.

The broadcast of the tournament was airing the scene of the intense battle.

Together, with the cheesy phrase “together we are unstoppable.”

At the same time, the chatroom of the broadcast I had left open was filled with comments.

As expected, it’s natural for attention-seekers to be curious about others’ reactions, and my eyes couldn’t help but drift toward the chat.

[Isn’t this game a disaster?]

[Why?]

[The balance is totally messed up.]

[What balance? This is the golden age of balance.]

[What the hell, does this even make sense?]

[How did they even win?]

[Clear difference in skill.]

[Is this a stomp broadcast?]

[Even in stomp broadcasts, you don’t see scenes like this.]

[Is this even a warrior? Even thieves can’t beat a warrior, I see why now.]

[The opponent also had warriors, both orange and yellow.]

[Unni… I believed in you… Unni… I believed in you… Unni… I believed in you…]

[If Hectopascal hadn’t barged in, and avoided that ridiculous angle, damn…]

[Dropping kicks on their own team, haha, it’s a permanent ban.]

[That probably didn’t affect the match much.]

[How the hell does a 2v6 even make sense? My heart is so pumped right now.]

[These guys have been messing around for 10 years, and they finally caused a big mess.]

[Well, the prostitute initiated it first. Our Gladiator was always the one to hesitate.]

[Our Gladiator?? Why is someone from the Gladiator stream here?]

[Hesitate? Last time, he even asked for a date.]

[Do these people think doing this for 10 years means they can have cybersex?]

“[Back then, your head must have been properly stitched up after the injury, seems like your intelligence is a bit sharper now. You’re not rushing in recklessly anymore.]”

What was that just now? That wasn’t reckless, what was it?

[If we’d lost, it would’ve been reckless, but since we won, it was a strategic charge.]

[Pay me back my money!]

[Out with the underdogs! Out with the underdogs! Out with the underdogs!]

[So who said it was the underdogs???]

[Well, I’m eating… just leaving one roll of kimbap behind… @)))))))))),,,]

[Why is the MVP not the older sister, but that guy? Please explain to me.]

[The leader got MVP yesterday, maybe they didn’t want to give it again so soon.]

[Where’s the fairness in that? The MVP should go to the one who performed well.]

[We’re being sabotaged by biased broadcasting!]

[The warrior did exceptionally well.]

[After the ultimate ability was used, the warrior killed all the minions, won a 1:3 close combat battle, and heroically fell? How could they not get MVP?]

[If someone saw it, they’d think the warrior did everything. If it weren’t for the leader’s healing, we’d have been done.]

[Is this the traditional warrior-priest combo?]

[It’s not that I dislike the warrior, but the leader did better, I think.]

[I’m not interested in MVP, but why do I have to watch a muscular warrior’s flexing movements?]

[That’s why I turned off the tournament broadcast. The game’s over.]

[I’m watching the recorded video to figure out what happened.]

[Even after the ultimate ability was used, the warrior killed all the minions, won a 1:3 close combat battle, and heroically fell? How can they not get MVP?]

[If someone saw it, they’d think the warrior did everything. If it weren’t for the leader’s healing, we’d have been done.]

[Is this the traditional warrior-priest combo?]

[It’s not that I dislike the warrior, but I think the leader did better…]

[I’m not interested in MVP, but why do I have to watch a male warrior’s muscles twitching?]

[That’s why I turned off the tournament broadcast. The game’s over.]

[I’m watching the recorded video to figure out what happened.]

[00]

[The chest bounces, the chest bounces, the chest bounces, the chest bounces, the chest bounces, the chest bounces, the chest bounces.]

“I was watching too, but I could only see her chest.”

“Seriously, you perverts.”

“Now I understand why the saint didn’t get the MVP.”

“Why exactly?”

“Her chest was bouncing too much, and with the sweat making her clothes see-through, it was just too much…”

“If something like that gets broadcasted with the MVP screen heavily focused on it, yeah, it might be a bit much.”

“What’s with the nun outfit, seriously?”

“This might create a fetish.”

“I want to marry a nun.”

“Real-life nuns aren’t like what you imagine…”

“She’s just healing, so why are people even talking about her chest?”

“Did you even watch the match?”

“[0]

LOL

What’s going on?

Ah, LOL, you missed this? LOL.

Seriously, no matter how you look at it, the leader should’ve been a warrior or some other melee class.

A rogue might suit them too, with the way they sneak into the backline.

Without the heals, the berserker would’ve gone straight to Game Over. What nonsense are people saying?

So, is running out of mana while healing and then charging in with a mace the leader’s identity now?

Maybe the leader is redefining what it means to be a priest…

Would there really be some idiot priest who follows the leader and spends five points on melee-only sub-skills? LOL.

Zero accidental miscasts without an aiming correction trait? Is that a hack?

Try playing Gaia’s Faith for 8,000 matches.

You still wouldn’t be able to pull it off. LOL.”

“Where has the saintess who used to moan just from being nearby gone?

Sometimes, I miss the saintess from those days.

Yeah, right, as if.

I never knew a mace could be such a terrifying weapon…

Did you see the opposing team’s backline freeze up? LOL.

How did she manage to break through when a heavy shield warrior was guarding it? LOL.

‘The shield is the problem’? = Just keep hitting until the shield’s durability wears out.

Isn’t the heavy shield warrior going to quit after the trauma? LOL.

Just casually beating up a 180-point player~

The character is so beautiful, but the way she smiles while beating someone to death is straight out of a horror movie.

Insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady…

Did the berserker fight 1v3? Our leader fought 1v3 too! LOL.

Sorama looks confused. LOL. This is the level of a warlock who summoned a death dragon. LOL. This is why you can’t trust wizards. LOL.

I feel bad for the priest who was with her. Is there no teamwork?

Why would there be teamwork with the enemy? Headshot!

No, but this game lacks realism. How is she fighting with those big boobs?

Isn’t it strange to look for realism in a game?

Isn’t it enough if it looks good?

If only the saintess’s chest was a little smaller…

No way.

It’s not like Cleopatra, where they say history could’ve changed if her nose had been smaller. LOL.

Well, it’s a family-friendly broadcast, so it’d be a disaster if it got flagged for indecency by the broadcast ethics committee.

A game character not getting MVP because of their chest size?

The berserker is getting seriously underrated.

Who said the berserker didn’t perform well?

Why play an archer? Why play a rogue? This is what a warrior is!

I’ve already switched to a greatsword warrior.

The leader’s breathing is loud. Hurry up and join.

So gloomy. LOL. I can already imagine them lurking in silence, right?

Leader, something’s wrong with me…

Leader, something’s wrong with me…

Leader, something’s wrong with me…

A few hits with the mace might fix that.

LOL.

‘I’m here.’

Since I’m human, or rather, a person who craves attention and praise even more than normal people, I couldn’t help but feel good when someone had such an explosive reaction to something I did.

So, yes, I felt good.

It wasn’t as if I was on any kind of drugs, but I felt like I could fly straight into the sky.

However, my body was honest.

Already, my body, which had been heavily drunk and passed out earlier, needed rest.

Even if someone dismissed it as just a game, my mind, which had been overly focused, was now fatigued and screaming for relief.

In short, I felt like collapsing.

I’m exhausted.”

I was sleepy.

No matter how good I felt, I couldn’t hold on any longer.

Still, I was a responsible streamer, so I didn’t hastily press the stream end button.

I had to say goodbye.

“Well then, goodbye.”

…At that one word, signifying the end of the stream, the chat exploded, scrolling so fast it seemed like it would catch fire.

[What is this crazy woman saying?]

[Insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady… insane lady…]

[Playing with people like this? What a temptress she is!]

[I’ve been waiting for hours.]

[If you really must, take a rest, of course… Yes… I’ll wait…]

[You crazy woman, noooo!]

[Just stream a little longer, please.]

[Nunna’s voice is a bit hoarse. She must be tired. T_T]

[God, so sexy.]

[I actually like this more.]

[Isn’t the final tomorrow? It’s true you need to manage your condition.]

That’s right.

With today’s win, the team of four patched-together members advanced to the finals.

It’s amazing we made it this far with such a team, but it was only possible because everyone worked hard.

If I messed up like I did last time when I drank and made mistakes, I wouldn’t have any face left.

I need to perform at my best to repay everyone.

You’re telling me not to act all good now?

Honestly, more than all those reasons, the million won prize money for winning was what really mattered to me.

If I lost it because of my poor condition, I wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.

“So, goodbye!”

『”But, as the streamer said, an astonishingly large amount” — User [Nickname] has donated 100,000 won!

“Please, I’m begging you. Just stream for one more hour.

Even if you don’t play games, just hearing your voice is fine.”』

At the perfectly timed donation and voice message, I couldn’t bring myself to press the stream end button.

There was someone who wanted me this much.

Wouldn’t it be too heartless to reject them just because I was a little tired?

…It’s absolutely not because they gave me money, of course.

I moved the cursor away from the button and sat back down.

“Well then, shall we do a little more?”

『”But, as the streamer said, an astonishingly large amount” — User [Nickname] has donated 10,000 won!

“CH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”』

“But honestly, I’m a bit tired.

I don’t think I can play Rethe.

You can probably tell my voice is a bit hoarse too…”

As I poured out excuses one after another, the barely calmed chat room filled with cries for me to stay and stream just a little longer, no matter what I did.

I perked up my ears at that.

“No matter what I do?”

Really?

“Then, without hesitation…”

[Why do I have a bad feeling about this?]

[Oh, crap, you too?

It’s not what I think, right?]

[No way, this crazy woman… don’t tell me…]

[Are you upset?]

[Yeah, extremely.]

[If you’re upset, then leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[What is this?]

[Just end the stream instead, you stupid woman.]

[Uh, no, not that… uh, it’s not this either… Ah, screw it, I don’t know anymore.]

For some reason, their reactions made me immensely amused.

Almost as if to meet their expectations, I opened Hancom Typing Practice.

“I’ve been busy preparing for the tournament recently and haven’t practiced much.

I think it’s time to refine my skills.”

[Is she refining her typing skills or disciplining her viewers?]

[Ta-da~ It’s Hancom Typing Practice~]

[I feel bad for the person who donated. I can’t look away now…]

[Why are you torturing yourself?

I need to leave.]

[Hehe, you can’t leave!]

[Let me go, you rascal!!!!!]

[If nuna is happy, then it’s fine… As long as nuna is happy… Is this okay…?]

What’s wrong with you all?

This is actually kind of fun.

I, unbothered by the incomprehension of those around me, began typing away resolutely, like a cubist painter creating art.

But just as abstract art eventually gains recognition over time,

it seemed my viewers started to appreciate it as well, as the chat soon filled with messages expressing how much fun they were having.

I’m glad everyone’s enjoying it.

Though I don’t know why they’re all adding parenthetical notes like (grinds teeth, cracks knuckles) with such care.

Ehehe.
