Genius Archer's Streaming

It happened around the tAlmond's fan meeting would take place. Was it Ji-Ah's fervent wish that made it happen?

One of her videos claimed the top spot in the gaming category. The video that proudly reached the number one spot featured Whiskey as the shadow warrior. This video had been popular since the beginning.

Following closely in third place was Whiskey's “I trusted you!” while Almond's display of physical prowess settled for fourth place.

Japan-related content suddenly dominated the local gaming category rankings.

No wonder the rankings were so high.

Seven commented on the situation like this:

They played on the word “Why,” a homophone for Japan in Korean, and made puns out of it.

The term “This Why War,” would be used repeatedly in the future.

“This Why War, huh.”

Ju-Hyeok chuckled while having lunch. He and Sang-Hyeon ate lunch together after a long time.

"The title, ‘This Japanese guy is for real,’ is even funnier."

They typically ate breakfast, but usually skipped lunch due to their lifestyle patterns. However, they needed to be active today and planned on eating a hearty meal.

"The ranking is high, so all sorts of comments are coming out."

"Yeah."

Sang-Hyeon looked at his phone screen while eating, which was now a familiar sight. It had becpart of his routine to check the views on his videos and the community reactions to the previous day’s stream every morning.

"It’s no joke this time. The feeling is really good. It’s going to be chaos if we go to the national team competition."

They discussed the current situation of Almond's channel. All the uploaded videos had ranked significantly. Three short videos captured the top spots in the trending list. The new video concept they adopted proved successful.

"It looks like Japan will have a tough tfor a while," Ju-Hyeok murmured while reading the video titles and chuckling.

Ji-Ah was aware of this concept’s success and would continue to produce such videos. It looked like Japan would have to bear the brunt of the suffering in the titles every time.

"Anyway, Whiskey has done a great job. Both in and out of the game. It’s a triple hit and one video is in first place."

"That’s true," Sang-Hyeon mumbled and nodded.

Sang-Hyeon had encountered the Japanese archer, Whiskey, by chance. He recalled trying to avoid Whiskey as much as possible because it felt burdensome.

It would’ve been a disaster if Sang-Hyeon kept avoiding him.

Whiskey was not only instrumental in showcasing Almond's gameplay, but was also the top contributor to making all the videos a hit.

As Sang-Hyeon pondered over this, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Oh right, I’m starting the stream."

Yes, he had planned to do an outdoor stream today. This was also part of the event for the fan meeting. In a way, it was a kind of warm-up for the fan meeting.

Sang-Hyeon picked up the filming equipment that looked like a simple selfie stick.

Ju-Hyeok panicked at this, "What? Right now?!"

"We have to start now. I promised to film the process of going to the fan meeting and getting ready."

"But letat least change my clothes…"

Ju-Hyeok quickly went into his room to change his clothes and cback out.

***

As soon as Ju-Hyeok cout, he realized that Sang-Hyeon was already streaming.

It seemed someone had donated 100,000 won as soon as the stream started.

"Oh, look. There's the manager."

With a swift motion, Sang-Hyeon turned the camera to capture Ju-Hyeok.

The viewers, experiencing Ju-Hyeok's direct introduction on camera for the first time, expressed their fascination.

Sang-Hyeon silently mouthed, “Say hello,” to Ju-Hyeok and instructed him like a child.

Ju-Hyeok, taken aback for a moment, adjusted his glasses and greeted the viewers.

"Hello, I'm Walnut."

The chat heated up when Ju-Hyeok self-identified as Walnut. The viewers loved it when the subject of their memes played along.

However, Ju-Hyeok firmly put a stop to their antics.

"Don't spam."

The viewers enjoyed his manager-like comment.

Ju-Hyeok felt pleased with the positive response, but felt queasy from the endless stream of comments. He wondered if this was what the camera jitters felt like. Maybe this was even more intense than that since numerous people were evaluating and discussing him in real-time.

Ju-Hyeok glanced at Sang-Hyeon, who appeared completely unfazed.

Watching from the side and doing it himself felt like a world of difference. Ju-Hyeok gained a new respect for Sang-Hyeon.

Sang-Hyeon nudged Ju-Hyeok and mouthed a question, “Why aren't you talking?”

Questions kept coming in for Ju-Hyeok.

More questions for Ju-Hyeok filled the chat.

Ju-Hyeok couldn't keep answering questions indefinitely. After all, the introduction was meant to be brief. He only briefly addressed squestions from donors before passing off the camera.

"I left my original home. Just wanted to try something new. Yes, I prepared today's fan meeting. A variety show? There have been soffers, but I think it's better to focus on the live streams for now. Back to Sang-Hyeon..."

After all, this was Sang-Hyeon's stream and Ju-Hyeok's role was just to support him.

Ju-Hyeok sighed in relief and caught his breath as the camera shifted back to Sang-Hyeon.

"That was Walnut."

Sang-Hyeon called Ju-Hyeok Walnut with a deadpan expression.

Sang-Hyeon smirked at their reactions and moved on to the next part of the stream.

"Now, I really have to head out to prepare for the fan meeting. Oh, but I need to change my clothes..."

"Don't be ridiculous..."

Wait. That viewer's nlooked familiar. Ju-Hyeok and Sang-Hyeon exchanged glances and both thought the sthing.

"WackJessie, thank you for the 10,000 won donation."

No more donations cfrom WackJessie after that.

"Then, I'll get changed and we'll head out."

***

Most of the major tasks like moving the tables had already been completed at the chicken and beer place where the fan meeting would take place. Only minor tasks like where to hang the decorations remained.

"This seems like the right place."

"Here?"

Almond also helped out while carrying the camera around.

The viewers got a rough idea of what the fan meeting would be like. The almond-shaped balloons caught everyone’s attention.

Sang-Hyeon focused more on streaming and promoting the event rather than participating in the setup.

Almond conducted interviews with Ji-Ah, Ju-Hyeok, and the venue owner from tto time.

Sang-Hyeon quickly turned the camera away.

"Yes, well... that's what this place was. Thanks to the owner for giving us a good deal on the reservation today. We can buy more chicken for everyone."

Now, they had finished the preparations and only thirty minutes remained until the fan meeting. It was almost tto welcthe fans.

Sang-Hyeon took a seat at the signing table and continued the stream.

"If you come, you can get an autograph here before taking your assigned seat."

As the fan meeting approached, more donations cin regarding the event.

A keen observer noticed that the dartboard area in the chicken and beer place had been transformed into a mini archery range.

"Thank you for the huge 100,000 won donation, RubySword. Of course, I'll teach you."

Various viewers speculated about RubySword, a fan who consistently donated and watched Almond’s streams almost every day. Sang-Hyeon also grew curious about RubySword's identity.

Then, the next donation cfrom someone they hadn't seen in a while whose real identity also remained a mystery.

It could be someone impersonating him, but no one had any reason to impersonate Jensen. Also, this could simply be verified by stepping outside.

People thought Sang-Hyeon looked displeased at Jensen's arrival, but that wasn't the case. He actually felt glad to have another fan cthrough.

His expression was more due to the nerves than displeasure. Even under extrpressure, he always shot perfect arrows without showing any nervousness. However, the mere thought of fans waiting outside made his heart race uncontrollably.

Sang-Hyeon couldn't understand his own reaction. Knowing that fans were already outside waiting for him made his heart beat incessantly. He momentarily stood up from the signing table.

He wasn't supposed to look in advance, but curiosity and concern got the better of him as he moved toward the entrance.

The lower part of the door was made of opaque glass, making it hard to see outside. He slightly opened the door to peek outside.

"...!"

Sang-Hyeon’s eyes widened in shock.
