HBWnovel Chapter 89
Chapter 89
Rize's house, huh.
To be honest, I was a bit cautious because I had hardly ever been to a woman’s house since coming to this world.
Sure, I’d been to an editor’s house before, but that situation was a bit more secure.
‘It’s not that I’m suspicious... but I can’t help but feel a little uneasy.’
But still, what could possibly go wrong?
I’d be going with the others, so it seemed unlikely that anything serious would happen.
I thought to myself and spoke up.
“Hmm, give me a moment. I’ll just make a quick call.”
Oh, by the way, I had started using informal speech with Rize.
She was three years younger than me, and we’d had a lot in common, so it felt natural.
“Okay. I’ll just call a driver then.”
“Mm.”
I sent a quick message to Yeram.
[Me: Oppa, I’m going to the second round.]
[Me: I’ll be a bit late.]
[Me: You should just go to bed.]
A short while after sending the message, a reply came.
[Yeram: Wow, Oppa, you’re finally doing some socializing!]
[Yeram: I’m so happy for you..]
[Me: I’ve always been good at socializing.]
[Me: What do you mean?]
[Yeram: Hmm.]
[Yeram: Anyway, have fun.]
[Me: Okay, yeah.]
‘She’s not even worried.’
I thought Yeram would be more concerned, but she wasn’t.
A little disappointed, I closed my phone.
Then I gently nudged Mangming to wake her up.
“Mangming.”
I poked her a couple of times, but she didn’t stir.
It seemed like she was completely knocked out.
She wasn’t responding at all.
‘Well, I’ve got a solution for this.’
Back in school, there was a way to tell if someone was pretending to sleep or actually out cold.
The trick was—
Tickling.
Unless you’re someone who doesn’t react to tickling, most people can’t resist.
I thought about tickling her feet, but since we weren’t that close, I decided against it.
Instead, I went for her ribs—less likely to make things weird.
Swipe, swipe...
I tickled her ribs quickly—
“Heh!”
She let out a small sound and squirmed a little.
It seemed like she was still conscious.
‘But why was she lying on me like that?’
My leg was numb.
She must have been exhausted.
Otherwise, there was no reason for her to be lying on a guy’s lap like that.
“Alright, let’s get up. We need to head out.”
“Home...? Ugh, this is such a hassle.”
“No, not your home. Rize’s home. We’re going for the second round, remember?”
“Oh, right...”
I helped her up as she tried to collapse again, and we all got into the car.
It was a big car, so it comfortably fit all five of us.
We piled in and sprawled out—
Whirr—
“...This is amazing.”
There was a mini-fridge just for drinks.
Snacks were set up everywhere.
It was a perfect place to have fun. I sat in the chair.
“Just one match, right?”
“Hey, we’re doing three games.”
“Yeah, three sounds better.”
Why settle for just one when I was going to play a 1v1 with a pro gamer?
Three matches it is.
We agreed, and I logged into the game.
But then—
“What if we stream it? I think it’ll be more fun. Wanna do it?”
Harin’s unexpected suggestion caught me off guard.
Streaming the 1v1?
But... it sounded so tempting.
‘...If I win, I can have it on record.’
Not just any regular person—this was a pro gamer.
Someone currently at the top of the domestic league.
If I could win a 1v1 and post it... it would be legendary.
“Streaming sounds great!”
“Right? I thought it would be fun.”
“Then let’s do it now.”
“Mm.”
With Harin’s help, we set up everything for streaming on the computer, making it ideal for broadcasting, and we started the stream.
Of course, it was on my channel.
[The stream has started!]
As soon as the stream started, viewers began to join.
To prepare for any possible situations, I covered the camera with thick paper.
I had heard rumors about people hacking into streams.
After starting the stream, a moment later—
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Hey hey]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Did you change your settings? Something feels different.]
[What’s different, idiot? It’s the same.]
[Fact: It’s completely different.]
[강후민입니다: Hey hey.]
[환희: Let’s play solo! Let’s play solo! Let’s play solo!]
[Here comes Solo King again.]
Viewers started entering.
It was the usual number of viewers.
But with this small number, it wasn’t enough.
“Hey, can everyone hear me?”
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Oh, what’s this?]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Your voice sounds better.]
[Did you change your mic?]
[It sounds like you changed your mic. Lol.]
[Looks like you spent some money, hmm.]
[If you’re spending money, at least buy a camera.]
[He says he won’t buy a camera~~]
“Actually, you know Rize, right? I came to her place with some friends, and since we’re here, I decided to stream. That’s why things are a bit different from usual.”
I figured that would get more viewers.
Since most of the people who watch internet broadcasts are part of the community.
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Oh]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: You’re getting close to Rize?]
[When did you get close?]
[You must be really close to be invited to her house.]
[So jealous...]
[강후민입니다: Rize? She’s worse than Dam-a at League.]
As I was thinking about what to say, I saw a good comment in the chat and decided to use it.
“We’re settling who’s better at League today. So to be exact, it’s a 1v1.”
A 1v1 with Rize.
Doesn’t it sound like it would be fun?
Anyone interested in Leo Re would at least check out the stream.
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: Oh]
[????️전지좆능한크툴루: A 1v1 with Rize?]
[When did this happen?]
[Wow, you’re really close.]
As soon as I finished speaking, a mission came through.
[프림퐁님 has donated 10,000 won!]
10k on the line for whoever wins the 1v1~~~~
A mission had been added.
A pretty fun one at that.
