Only Weapon Master

Ret’s Live Stream Started!

[Climbing Hong Gil]

After setting his stream title with a mindset of climbing back up and waiting for viewers to enter for 3 minutes.

“Nice to meet you all.”

— Hi

— Why so late today?

— Why is this guy so serious?

— Pretentiousness blegh 

“Today, I’m not the me from yesterday.”

While chatting with viewers in a pretentious tone and reading chat, a donation sound rang out.

Ret’sFootwiper donated 10000 won.

[Bro. That user went to Master 100]

He received a donation from his loyal Footwiper, and when that user appeared in the donation content, he almost lost his mind, but he held it in.

With a sense of relief that he would no longer meet that person and deep anger at the thought of such a terrible troll being Master, he promised himself to achieve results today and logged into Match of Legends.

“Today, let’s get to D1. Please just D1. Pleaseee…!”

— lol

— Unnecessarily serious, tsk

— Snipers, load your sniper rifles!

— Oh, YongYong is on

Among the taunting chat messages, a comment saying that user was online.

He tried to ignore it and play the game, but.

RetNurseryDirector donated 100000 won.

[Go ask why he threw the Yuumi game]

“Oh my, 100,000 won~ Wow~ Thank you for the 100,000 won! But you know I don’t like to act like a petty man bringing up past games and being pathetic. Let’s bury the remnants of the past in the past.” -teeth gritting

— Reaction is trash, waste of 100,000 won

— Gritting his teeth saying the past is just the past, sheesh

— RetNurseryDirector: I’m deeply disappointed..

— Lock

— Him

— Up

Despite receiving a 100,000 won donation, he tried to resist to avoid getting involved with YongYongLion anymore.

He sighed as he saw the chat window working hard to connect him with YongYongLion.

In the end.

“Haaah.. Fine, I get it! I’ll just ask. Actually, I’m really curious too. What cat allergy, sheesh. Since he’s in a game now, when he comes back to the lobby… Oh, perfect timing, his game just ended. I’m going to ask.”

He agreed under pressure from the viewers, and fortunately, YongYongLion’s status message changed from [In Game] to [Lobby], so he hovered his hand over the profile.

Would he accept such an absurd excuse from YongYongLion? Ret himself, as the victim(?), was most curious about why he played the game like that in that match.

But the more they talked, the more he found himself being unilaterally manipulated by the other person, so he had been trying to ignore it.

— Nice

— Cat allergy guy, sheesh

— Couldn’t it be a woman?

— Stop with that bullshit, what woman, you absolute idiot [This message has been deleted.]

He could only sigh when he saw the chat history after clicking on YongYongLion’s profile and clicking chat.

[YongYongLion]: Because of cat allergies.. 

[Ret]: @%%@%@;:~~;~-??(@;;@%!/@^

“Hah, f*ck..it’s still annoying even looking at it again. Arghhhh!!!”

— lololololol

— Cat allergies are really making me dizzy lol

Just looking at the answer made him dizzy. As he looked at the other person’s reply, he realized once again that this was a truly unusual troll and sighed.

“Hah.. let’s be patient.. be patient, Gihwan..”

After letting out a frustrated sigh and taking a deep breath to steel his mind, Ret typed a message and the other person responded, starting their conversation.

Although he was annoyed that YongYongLion’s answers kept going in the wrong direction to his questions, at this point, he started to feel stubborn.

— Wow, this is so frustrating

— F*ck, is that supposed to be funny?

— lol this is really dizzy

— Is that kind of person fun?

— Just looking at it makes me laugh lol

Even though the conversation was sluggish, there is always an end. After asking, the frustrating YongYongLion, who would only respond with question marks at least a minute later, finally mentioned the Yuumi game directly.

[YongYongLion] Yes. Um, the Yuumi game, um.

[Ret] Yes, if you just tell me that, I won’t bother you anymore. Please..

Finally reaching the end of the conversation he wanted.. Thinking he could now know the truth about the Yuumi game, Ret waited for YongYongLion’s reply, unknowingly feeling touched inside.

[YongYongLion] I’m more of a dog person than a cat person 

He was miserably betrayed again by YongYongLion, who didn’t seem to have any intention of easily revealing the truth.

After leaving this gem of an answer that surpassed the cat allergy, YongYongLion’s status message instantly changed to [Offline].

“…..”

In the virtual reality space.

Feeling dizzy, Ret leaned against a pillar in the lobby with lifeless, empty eyes, looking at the chat window.

— I like dogs too!

— Cat moms stand up!

— At this point, it seems like it’s Ret’s fault for picking a cat.

— Respect cats!! Respect cats!! Respect cats!! Respect cats!!

Watching the chat window being influenced by YongYongLion’s ideology, he played the game with a broken mentality, discarding his mindset from before starting the broadcast.

You have been demoted to Diamond Tier 3.

As a result, he was also eliminated from the national diving team.

VT Building Rooftop Smoking Area

“Hah… Wonder if there are any talented kids out there?”

“We must hope so. Haha…”

They were not a virtual idol group but a duo. Just 2 people. A team leader and section chief who had planned to go with a duo concept and received approval from higher-ups.

Based on the plan proposed by the youngest member of their team:

‘How about selecting just two people as an elite few…?’

Thinking it was fresh to have a duo rather than a group made up of many people, the team leader created a plan based on the youngest member’s opinion, submitted it to the higher-ups, and got immediate approval.

The reason they were like this was a snowball that formed from a small worry.

‘Yeah! The plan is approved~ Let’s go have a team dinner!!! Company card let’s go!!!!’

‘Wow!!!’

During the team dinner after getting approval, when they were a bit tipsy from alcohol at the meat restaurant, the youngest member who had created this plan spoke up.

‘Uh. Will we find talents with our elite small scale approach…’

The team leader, section chief, and assistant manager all told the youngest:

‘Come on, we’ll find at least one person, don’t worry and just enjoy, man~’

They told him to put his worries aside, but…

‘Um. My friend who works at MT said they’re launching a new VTuber group around the same time as us… hiccup’

At this information from the youngest, everyone’s glasses were weakly placed on the table, and everyone’s faces turned pale.

They hoped it was just a rumor, but..

“Whew…hahahahahaha f*ck..”

Not only was the information from the youngest true, but the worst red pill was that the application period overlapped with his company, and he couldn’t help but go insane, and now his back, as the head of a household, looked so small as he smoked on the rooftop.

Why was he in this state? Well.

MT Entertainment had established the foundation of what Korean VTubers are, like Japan’s Hololive, using metaverse technology even before virtual reality was integrated into our lives.

In contrast, VT Entertainment had only entered the VTuber market 6 months ago. Moreover, it was a business started out of interest by the only youngest daughter of a nouveau riche family.

After the entertainment company opened, they had been building infrastructure and systems for 6 months and were just about to step into the VTuber market when…

The reality of a huge wall blocking them was truly bitter.

“Let’s go back in now. Tsk”

To feed his family, he threw his cigarette on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and trudged from the rooftop back to the office.

“VTuber?”

“Yes!”

She’s quite goofy, unlike her appearance

“So?”

“Let’s do it together, Ara!”

Just as I was about to dash home quickly after school, my ankle was caught by Reina and I was dragged to a café, and what I heard from Reina was ultimately.

“Let’s conquer the VTuber market together!!”

She’s just saying things like that.

VTuber…yeah… VTubers are good. I don’t watch them much these days because I’m into gaming, but before going to the otherworld, I mainly watched VTuber broadcasts while lying down after kendo.

My interest and attention are currently monopolized by 《MoL》, and I hadn’t thought about VTubers since that incident happened to the one I was watching.

But…

“Go ahead”

“Whyy~~ Huh? You’ll do it!? Really?!!”

It seems fun. Plus, if I do it with Reina, I don’t think we’ll fail.

“But are we going to do it independently?”

After accepting Reina’s proposal and as she was about to hug me in excitement, I prevented her with one arm and asked if we would join a big company or do it ourselves.

In response to my question, she shoved her smartphone screen in front of my face.

Hmm. Let’s see

VTuber duo group.. recruiting peo…ple ……(omitted)……

Hmm.

Duo?

“But what if you get rejected and I get accepted, or I get rejected and only you get accepted?”

“Ehh.. Ara, you’re too realistic. Don’t worry about such things~ Let’s just apply first!”

In response to my realistic question, Reina, whose head might be a flower garden, insisted on applying without caring about such things.

Well. It will be fun.

After applying while sitting at the café with Reina, we parted ways and returned home.

[Wow, Isekai-Dol 3rd Generation is here!!!]

Quickly tell us the debut date and number of members, pant pant!

— More VTubers coming out, fck

— Please go back to Harbor Gallery

— Why are you promoting VTubers in Match Gallery, get out you idiot

[But what does VT do?]

I mean, fck, it’s a company I’ve never heard of, but they’re heavily advertising for new VTuber applications. Do they have a lot of money?

— I heard the CEO is a nouveau riche

ㄴ Author: Really, they had a lot of money..

— The CEO is super pretty, suddenly I like her..

ㄴ Ooh nice 

ㄴ You guys go ahead and rule

[Whether it’s VT or TV or MT or MD]

Get out of Match Gallery, you fckers

[YongYongLion, my lord…]

(YongYongLion stats.jpg)

When will you come.. The Ret Group is waiting for you.

— Just a cat defender..

— This humble one, impressed by your will, kicked away a tuna can that a stray cat was eating, presumably given by a cat mom… Oh, YongYongLion, my lord!!

ㄴ ?

ㄴ Crazy guy lololol

— Support! One! Year! Old!

— Wow, Master 100 two days ago, soon to be Grandmaster;;

ㄴ That’s real Master mechanics lol, not Ret-style Master mechanics.

ㄴ Fcker, correct it. This person doesn’t have Master mechanics, but Legend-tier mechanics.

ㄴ That’s a bit. Too much.

— A vote for Sekai 3rd Gen…

ㄴ Ah, get out pleaseee!!! Go back to your gallery, you fcker!

Ara’s MoL nickname, YongYongLion, began to infiltrate the gallery of users who play this game, abbreviated as MOL from Match of Legend.

Ara still didn’t know what the result of this infiltration would be.

Is someone talking about me?

While lying in my room playing a beautiful girl bonsai game, my ear suddenly became itchy for no reason.

— Scratch scratch

“Mom. Pick my ear”

“This girl. At 19, you should know how to pick your own ear.”

“It’s itchy when I do it myself. Pick it, pleaseee-“

I went to find my mom and asked her to pick my ear while acting cute, and she sighed and patted her thigh, ordering me to lie down.

-Scritch scritch

Hmm, that feels good..

Ah! Right.

While getting my ear picked, I remembered what happened at the café

“Mom. Can I do VTuber with Reina?”

“VTuber? What’s that?”

I told my mom about what Reina and I talked about at the café, and after she finished picking my ear, I showed her Kizuna Ai on VTube to explain what a VTuber is.

Mom and Dad always told me to do what I want, but yeah, I’m still underage. I should get permission.

“Oh my, how cute~”

Hmm. Maybe my preference for VTubers is from my mom’s genes..

Well, I got permission from my mom, and my dad also told me during dinner that he supports me in whatever I do.

After telling Reina via KakaoTalk that I got permission from my parents, I finished the bonsai game homework that I couldn’t complete earlier because of my itchy ear, and then went to bed.
