HBWnovel Chapter 119
Chapter 119
Since the teams were formed arbitrarily, I can understand mixing people around to create a fun dynamic.
But still, there are boundaries between people.
If there’s any sense of decency, I would say this team formation shouldn’t have happened.
“...This is really ridiculous.”
[????️All-Powerful Cthulhu: How did this team even get formed like this?]
[????️All-Powerful Cthulhu: It really looks like it was rigged, haha.]
[Well, Harin did adjust it herself...]
[Harin made the teams, so this is how they turned out, haha.]
[This is basically a suicide squad, haha.]
[Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god, Rimaldo is a god.]
[Look at how Rimaldo’s fanbase is showing up, lol.]
[But why does everyone dislike this? Didn’t Dama like these people?]
[It’s not that I like them, but we’re on good terms.]
Of course, there are people I know.
I’ve actually talked to a few of them.
But—
“Knowing someone from greeting them is one thing, but being on the same team is a completely different situation...”
sigh
I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
It wasn’t just anyone, but Rimaldo and Kang Hoomin that I had to be on the same team with.
It was honestly hard to believe even as I thought about it, so I quietly picked up my phone and messaged Harin.
[Me: Seriously.]
[Me: Do you want to die?]
[Me: What the hell is this team formation?]
[Me: Fix this right now.]
[Me: This is ridiculous.]
After a while, I got a reply.
[Harin: This was the most fun team I could make.]
[Harin: Why should I change it? haha.]
[Harin: Just try to bear with it.]
Harin’s response made no sense at all.
She said she made the team to create a fun dynamic.
“Sigh...”
I sighed again as I read it.
Alright, now that everyone’s checked their teams, let’s make a Discord and take some time to greet each other!
The directive came to gather everyone who had just been called into a Discord channel.
Honestly, I wanted to just throw everything away and go do some solo ranked matches, but... What could I do?
I had already signed up for the tournament.
Since I was in, I had to do it properly.
“Ugh... First, I guess I should invite Kang Hoomin.”
I figured I should invite someone I knew first.
I had met Rimaldo once in a past tournament, but I didn’t have any way to contact him.
So, the priority was to invite Kang Hoomin.
Ring-.
After a brief connection tone,
Ah, hello?
A familiar voice answered.
“Ah, Hoomin. We ended up on the same team for the tournament.”
Yeah. By the way, Dama is in the tournament too.
“I mean... I don’t really have anything else to do.”
Same here.
An awkward silence passed between us after that.
[????️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Damn, this is suffocating.]
[????️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Can someone at least act like they know each other, damn.]
[Didn’t we at least exchange greetings last time? Why is everyone being so formal?]
[Kang Hoomin: Yeah, people like us who are considered “nerds” don’t keep regular contact once we’ve said hello once.]
[Kang Hoomin: It’s a natural thing.]
[LOL, what the hell.]
[This totally undermines the point of us talking last time, haha.]
[If you’ve made any kind of connection, you should stay in touch. Why isn’t anyone doing that?]
[DuGong: Rimaldo,]
[DuGong: Did you see the team announcement for the tournament?]
[DuGong: Did you not check?]
I typed that and waited a moment.
So, what should I eat? Ugh, this is annoying.
Rimaldo was still talking nonsense.
“Hmm...”
I managed to hold back my anger and sent a donation message.
[DuGong has donated 1,000 won!]
Rimaldo, did you hear about the tournament hosted by Harin? You haven’t checked your team, have you?
I made sure to use lots of question marks to grab his attention.
After a moment, I got a reply.
Oh, right.
Finally, Rimaldo noticed the message.
I knew he was the type to forget, but I couldn’t help but still feel frustrated.
‘It’s annoying, but I guess it’s part of Rimaldo’s charm.’
I thought that, and with some finality, sent another donation.
[DuGong has donated 1,000 won!]
If you send me your Discord info, I’ll invite you to our team’s Discord. Just send it via DM.
I said it like that, hoping he wouldn’t forget.
I knew Rimaldo was forgetful, but after I said it this much, he shouldn’t forget, right?
I thought as I exited his stream.
Then, shortly after...
Ding-!
I received a DM from Rimaldo with his Discord.
I immediately accepted the invitation.
Then, a moment later...
Ah, hello.
Rimaldo’s weak voice came through the headphones.
[????️All-Powerful Cthulhu: Ugh, this is draining.]
[How can someone’s voice sound so slimy?]
[Kang Hoomin: Just hearing his voice makes me want to punch something...]
[At least we got Rimaldo on the team easily, haha.]
[It’s usually hard to get him to join.]
As I was relieved that Rimaldo joined easily,
Hello!!!!
A voice so loud it felt like it could tear my eardrums apart filled the space.
“Ugh.”
Then, shortly after...
I’m Parsley, the new streamer!!!
The new streamer’s greeting began.
