Chapter 45 : listen to the answer and go

[Lene]

[Let’s Talk]

[Talk | 1539 viewers | 00:50:13]

[480,000 / 1,000,000]

As I expected from the start, the most common topic among the 48 questions was, of course, the Albion raid. It’s only natural since we cleared it in a day after it suddenly started.

But slowly, the donations started to decrease.

I guess they’ve gathered enough information about Albion.

Well…

Most of the people here aren’t here because they’re interested in me as a streamer.

…But it would be such a waste to just let these increasing viewers slip away.

Now’s the time to use my trump card.

“Hmm… Questions are starting to slow down… I didn’t quite reach the expected amount, but should we move on to the things I postponed earlier…?”

Huh? So easily?

Does 1 million won seem like nothing?

—Lene/Adding controversy, lol

=‘ᄋᄋ’ donated 10,000 won.

“So, should we unlock the chat and donations now?”

“Well, that’s not it…”

—Wow, you’re firm, haha.

This guy’s throwing away his chance to escape his poor situation, haha.

“Well, anyway, there were a lot of questions about the raid patterns and such… Has there been no other party that cleared it other than us…?”

=‘CosmicChallengerGodGameNewD’ donated 10,000 won.

Surprisingly, there hasn’t even been a party that got close to clearing it.

─They say they can barely clear the normal pattern or the Suc pattern, even at 50%.

“…Really? Are you talking about the Suc pattern, where you use Scadi’s Tears to challenge it?”

OO

Correct.

I was momentarily stunned by the fact that no party even got close to clearing it.

Was Albion that hard?

No.

Of course, it was hard, but I didn’t think it was that difficult.

─It’s not that the pattern is hard, but the cold keeps breaking their concentration in the middle.

“Really? Is it that cold?”

Apparently, everyone sets the sensory blocking to level 5.

Why is it cold then?

─Why doesn’t he realize that he’s the weird one…?

─Fact) It’s really cold, I almost froze to death. If we didn’t clear the raid, I wouldn’t have kept quiet.

=‘DragonTycoon’ donated 10,000 won.

Yeah, not only is it cold, but the pattern’s unclear, so everyone’s dying.

“Hmm….”

Honestly, I still don’t get it, but I think I understand what they’re trying to say.

So, it’s not that the pattern is hard, but because it’s cold, they’re losing focus and dying in the middle. But in my case, I know the Suc pattern pretty well, so they came to ask about it.

=‘ᄋᄋ’ donated 10,000 won.

Are you not sharing your party tactics?

“I’m not planning on doing that, so don’t worry.”

I hope that as many people as possible can see the kind of scenes that can be seen in NewD.

A companion with whom I can share the same memories.

Honestly, that’s great.

・Putting aside whether or not I have someone to have those kinds of conversations with.

=‘ᄋᄋ’ donated 10,000 won.

Are you thinking of officially gathering a party and trying it?

“I have to. I need to gear up… Anyway, let’s move on to talking about the Albion patterns…”

Although I turned off the stream during yesterday’s raid, I hadn’t turned off the video recording, so it was easy to wrap up the discussion about the Albion patterns.

[630,000 / 1,000,000]

And the donations had now reached 630,000 won.

Honestly, I thought it would be amazing if I could collect 300,000, but the amount is far beyond what I imagined.

I’ve made way more than I’ve earned from streaming so far…

Since most of the discussion about the Albion raid was over, the number of viewers dropped quickly, but… I’m more than satisfied with how much I’ve earned.

More than anything, even though it’s dropped, there are still far more people than on my usual streams.

─So what now?

“Well, then, shall we start distributing the items we got yesterday?”

The main reason I turned on the stream today was that we hadn’t distributed the items yet, which could be considered the true end of the raid.

I wonder what new items we got.

What can I do with these new items?

The feeling of checking rewards, like a treasure-seeking adventurer discovering treasure, is something that’s hard to forget.

Even in that world, after defeating the heretic, the most joyful moment was when we discovered the treasure they had hidden.

Of course, those treasures had to be used for the operation of the order, so I couldn’t keep much, but just being able to feel that excitement was enjoyable.

-ㅋㅋ

─If a gallery members has been waiting for this, they’re definitely upvoting, haha.

Thankfully, the reaction was not bad, so I put the words “I’ll turn on NewD.” in the top-left corner of the screen and stood up from my seat.

Well, saying it was not bad is a bit of a stretch, since most of the people watching my stream can’t even chat right now, so I can’t say for sure.

“Hmm….”

─Pya pya pya pya

─What’s with the voice, ccc

─Calm down, get it together, calm down, get it together, calm down, get it together, calm down

Stretching, I got up from my seat and entered the reverse capsule.

Next, I ran NewD, turned off the in-game voice chat feature that I had left on during the last raid to prevent any unexpected situations, and then connected the reverse capsule to the computer using the method Tune showed me when they came last time.

“Ah, ah. Can you hear me? I’m entering now, is the screen visible properly?”

OO

It’s clear.

Thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be any issues.

As soon as I connected to NewD, the first thing that greeted me was the pure white scenery that can only be seen at the top of Rivagar.

When I look at the sky, it feels like I could touch the clouds with my hand, and my hand itches.

When I lower my gaze, I feel like the world covered in pure white snow is right beneath my feet.

“Huuuuu….”

And when I take a deep breath, the cold, clear air refreshes my whole body, making me feel good.

This is such a beautiful place, yet no one wants to come here just because it’s cold.

I really don’t understand.

“There’s no one around… Did everyone go to the place I mentioned yesterday?”

-ᄋᄋ Everyone but you is there, Lene.

─They logged out the moment they connected to NewD.

─Jin, who would want to stay there when it’s cold?

…I really don’t understand.

Even though they’re supposed to be my companions who fought with me yesterday, their reactions make no sense, even more so now.

Am I the one who’s weird?

That can’t be…

I shake my head, feeling like I might fall into negative thoughts, and take a deep breath to calm myself.

Yeah. Being alone in this beautiful scenery also has its own atmosphere, so it’s still nice.

Thinking this way, I quietly used the Return Stone.

The place I had set as the meeting point was a bar on the corner of Barley Town.

The food is tasty, and it’s cheap, so I often go there, and looking at the chat, it seemed like everyone liked it too.

“…By the way, should I start lowering the basic donation amount?”

I’ve already received more donations than I expected, and a lot of people have left.

Since enough time has passed, the remaining viewers are probably pretty normal people.

I’ll leave the chat as is for now, just in case.

Seems fine.

Honestly, 10,000 won is too expensive.

─You’re not looking to grow, huh? ᄋᄋ

─Even the real gallery members won’t donate, haha.

Heartbreaking advice fills the chat.

…But I shouldn’t say, “You guys hardly donate anyway.”

I know how to read the mood.

Anyway, after the discussion, I immediately lowered the minimum donation amount to 2,000 won.

I could’ve lowered it to 1,000 won, but this was also a precaution for unexpected situations.

By the time I arrived in front of Barley Town, I said:

“…Huh?”

I saw it.

A cross with a circle drawn in the center, adorned with an oak staff.

From the attire, they didn’t seem like a newbie.

If I had to guess, they looked like a fairly experienced player.

─No way, it can’t be, you crazy person.

─Think about the gallery members waiting at the store, haha.

─Please calm down, sir

.

At first, I had no idea why it was all happening so quickly.

I just stood there, staring blankly.

But then, the thought came to me.

I had to meet them.

It’s getting late.

There were people waiting for me now.

In fact, they should have met me much earlier, but because of my situation, they had to wait much longer than expected.

So, I should hurry to the bar as quickly as possible.

…But they’re a heretic.

“I believe you all will understand…”

With that final word, I sprinted toward the heretic, swinging my Warhammer with full force.

─Listen for the answer before going, you idiot.

Here is the translation of the text you provided:

When I think about this person usually, this seems like the right way to go…

—Lene’s minor gallery supports Lene, the likable gallery owner. ᄋᄋ

‘ᄋᄋ’ donated 3,000 won.

Really a crazy person, haha.

“Damn?!”

Clang!

After about 10 minutes, I managed to make another heretic repent.

Thankfully, I wasn’t caught by an NPC, so I was able to enter Barley Town without receiving any PK penalties.

I’m glad I didn’t get hit with a PK penalty. Sometimes you get it, and it’s more annoying than you’d think… At least, I just do what I need to do.

“Right?”

For some reason, no response came to my words.

Maybe they’re busy?

…Well, I guess.

They must be gathered together, drinking and eating, so I can’t do much.
