Chapter 43 – 8. Secretly From My Sister (5)
.
Recently, in a day that was flowing like a treadmill due to falling into mannerism, new content was created.
It’s none other than raising a cute newbie.
He is also an SSS level newbie who has taken into his bones the basics that the great master hinted at.
How can it not be fun in a manga game that is already difficult for newcomers to find?
Thanks to this, Lee Ji-yoon began to show a gentle smile even during her part-time job at a cafe where she kept an expressionless face for 8 hours.
Somehow I felt more eyes on me than usual,
A jingling bell could be heard from behind her as she diligently washed the dishes.
“Welcome.”
“Well, Iced Americano Venti…” ” .”
Bushy hair.
Black horn-rimmed glasses.
A scarf made of white swords that I look at every day to see if I wash it properly,
Even something that looks like a laptop bag.
He is one of the regular customers who comes here every hour.
I remembered it because I was a customer who only took out Americano every day.
Lee Ji-yoon thought that there was nothing more to hear anyway, so he smiled brightly and continued thinking things like ‘I want to play the game quickly.’
The face of the man standing in front of her becomes increasingly red.
I don’t know why.
“… Ben, please give me one in Venti size…”
43
Return.
Wash your face.
Seating.
As soon as her part-time job ended, Lee Ji-yoon returned home as if she was flying. She put everything else aside and immediately logged into the game.
There’s something very suspicious about the bright red notification that says 1k+ on the left side of Dico…
I ignored it for now. It’s probably going to be a story about Jeongmo anyway.
For Lee Ji-yoon, who plans to spend her days working part-time, being a fresh newbie was much more important than that.
Considering the time her older sister usually returns from the academy, Seo Woo-jin must have also gotten off work a long time ago and sent her a friend.
Let’s see…
“… Ah.”
There is.
Cute newbie.
Seowoojin123,
I thought it was a too roughly chosen nickname, but at the same time it was funny.
Her actual nickname was Jiyoon.
After accepting her addition as a friend, Jiyoon Lee immediately sent a game invitation …
… I tried but failed.
This is because Seo Woo Jin was offline.
Well, being connected to the game all day,
Even using the game for community purposes rather than just playing it is just a way of using it as a gamer’s life.
That’s right for the general public. Yes, yes.
Jiyoon Lee immediately pressed her alt tab and tapped on her keyboard.
─Are you there?
─I just came in.
Take this opportunity to get a glass of water or milk.
The moment I put the headset around my neck, a reply came back.
[Seo Woo Jin]
─Then can I turn on the game now?
Is it because I’m a newbie I care about?
Even though it was a very ordinary answer, I felt something happy rising from deep inside my heart.
It would be like watching a high school student studying hard on his own and reviewing his pre-study without saying a word…
Lee Ji-yoon quickly replies while getting up from the chair.
─Yes. All I can think of is that glass of water.
She left for her kitchen and tilted the juice bottle containing barley tea, amused by her strange palpitations.
Come to think of it, this was my first time playing a game with someone I knew.
So, someone I actually know in real life.
I even played one more game while I was making friends in the first place.
This is because when I was in middle school and high school, some of the kids I could barely call my friends had no interest in games at all.
Everyone watched things like TikTok and YouTube shorts, but games were a waste of time.
In fact, they are also wasting their time on the ground…
Anyway, I thought that was why I was so excited.
I think I understand the saying that no matter how shitty a game is, it becomes more fun if you play it with friends.
Sometimes I seem to understand memes I’ve seen in places like communities.
That… , What was it?
A girl with a dark hobby that she can’t tell anyone about, gets so excited just because she heard a boy say ‘I like that too’, and takes him to her house her her her …
“…”
Um.
Let’s play a game.
I’m imagining something stupid with my sister’s boyfriend.
He’s a nice guy, and if that was really his intention, he would have been trying to play games with me since yesterday.
In fact, you didn’t even come in because you were busy, right?
Jiyoon Lee returned to the room with a glass of water, cleared her throat and sat down in front of the computer.
If it’s just the two of you, wouldn’t it be better to do it with a disco?
Since you only play games occasionally, you might not even know what a deco is.
If a man and a woman use in-game voices, it’s perfect for them to be criticized as queen bees.
The moment Lee Ji-yoon, who had been thinking about something else because of the dirty thoughts that kept coming out of her head her, turned on her friend’s window her her her her.
“… Ah.”
Seowoojin123
Below that.
Kor_CZ
I found one very disturbing nickname that was green.
It was definitely gray earlier.
When I turned on the disco, there were already several DMs from that person.
Are you having an effect today as well?
Is there no room?
I’ll give you only the necessary briefing without causing any inconvenience, etc…
I ignored him with a sigh and invited only Seo Woo Jin.
I left the participation open turned off to prevent anyone from interfering.
Soon after, a basic character that seemed like it had been a long time since I had seen her appear next to Lee Ji-yoon.
… Something is erotic.
Is this a newbie pheromone or something…
[Seowoojin123]
─Hello
Even that five-letter chat is subtly erotic.
Jiyoon Lee came to her senses for a moment, feeling as if she was becoming pervert, and carefully tapped on the keyboard.
─Hello. Are you doing a disco?
[Seowoojin123]
─Yes. I looked it up and found that it was essential, so I downloaded it.
Also. My disciple.
Lee Ji-yoon smiled with satisfaction and answered while fiddling with the headset microphone.
─I will tell you my Disco ID, so please send me your friends here.
─No, you may not know, so I’ll send it to you. Please tell me your ID.
Now that I think about it, I think this is the first time I’ve asked someone to give me their ID first.
Seo Woo-jin, who has an incomprehensible tingling sensation for a moment, soon tells me the account.
After adding friends, Jiyoon Lee called him and waited for a moment.
Like that.
A heavy bass sound that was pleasant to listen to hit my eardrums.
“… Ah, ah. “Can you hear me well?”
“Yes. It’s okay, Mr. Woojin. “Can you hear me well?”
“Wait a minute. Maybe it’s because it’s my first time, but it’s a bit small. I need to set it up…”
I heard it last night in an alley while receiving harsh glares from people.
She pretended to be hugging her lover, which she listened to while getting treatment for her headache.
The voice of my sister’s boyfriend.
… When her sister is away, she talks to him on the phone and listens,
A voice with a very strange feeling.
“That’s okay. Then… “Can I just follow him?”
“For now, let me teach you, and try to get first place today, right?”
“… I think it will be difficult.”
“You can do it. Because I have you.”
Jiyoon Lee worked hard to get that strange feeling out of her mind and turned on the regular game cue.
From the moment she was talking alone in the cafe, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was somehow up to no good… ,
If you think about it, it’s not really a big deal.
I just had a conversation with her older sister’s boyfriend,
She just received treatment from her older sister’s boyfriend,
Because I’m just playing games with my sister’s boyfriend.
It’s just that my sister wasn’t there.
Strange things,
Because there wasn’t anything in particular.
“And briefings are better and more convenient… So you might accidentally speak informally to Woojin during the game.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m more comfortable speaking informally, too.”
“Then… Shall we stop talking at this point?”
Strange things,
Because there wasn’t anything in particular.
“You said it’s easier to use polite language.”
“That’s right, but you and I are both 20 years old… After March, we’ll be seeing each other often in the health room…?”
“Okay then. Well.”
“Woojin, let go first.”
“Jiyun.”
Strange things,
Because there wasn’t anything in particular.
“… Seo Woo Jin.”
“Isn’t it a bit harsh to add a last name? It’s like calling a girl you’re not very close with.”
“… Oh, don’t you? It’s an honorific?”
“Don’t find fault. Now you’re being polite again.”
“… Okay, Seo Woo Jin. Are you okay?”
“Nothing has changed since before.”
“How can you change the title in your mouth so quickly? Wait a minute.”
Jiyoon Lee unconsciously adjusted her posture and said,
… For some reason, wasn’t it quite different from the Seo Woo Jin vibe you knew?
I just feel like I’ve gone from being a normal kind person to becoming slightly more playful…
I wonder if this is what conversations between friends are like.
Actually, I don’t know.
Until I graduated from high school, the only conversations I had with men were one-sided confessions.
It’s difficult to have a ‘friend’ conversation.
Conversation like a ‘friend’ is unfamiliar.
In the end she just played with her hair and pulled her chair closer.
“… Okay, like I said before, pick the fat one.”
“Are you talking about this?”
“Yes, that. “A character with something strange on his arm.”
“I think I need to read up on some skills…”
“You will understand once you go in and use it. It is a difficult skill to use properly, but the effect is simple.”
“Okay. I’ll try.”
The skills of the stranger you are matched with are unknown.
One is a newbie who can’t fire a few bullets.
Even if you get scolded by your team members for the first few games, it would be better to teach them what they need one by one.
Jiyoon Lee, who had made up her mind like that, chose a character that was easy to run away from and took a sip of water.
… However, one thing.
There was one thing she didn’t know.
Whether it’s a game,
Anything.
Lee Ji-yoon said that she was the type of person who was quite obsessed with winning.
*****
[Jiyoon_0420]
─The briefing is okay, but please keep the comments to a minimum.
─I am teaching a friend, so the sound may be a bit muffled. This can’t be helped, so please understand.
─Once you have a champion, the party is over. You know, right?
[CZ]
─We will serve you comfortably 😀
CZ and Han Chae-jun, humming and holding the mouse, accepted Lee Ji-yoon’s party invitation with a smile.
There’s no way that a bitch who used to rank up every FPS she played in the first place could endure the frustration of being a newbie.
Of course, I wasn’t expecting it to turn out like this, but the result is like this, so even someone who’s an idiot can roughly picture the process.
I thought I would win one game if I kept going, but I got so frustrated that I asked for an SOS. Isn’t it obvious?
If everything goes well like this, we’ll talk a few more times as compensation for helping us last time.
How can we continue to use that as an excuse?
How and how in reality…
Phew…
I took a moment to look at the handsome Noskin character next to Lee Ji-yoon.
Han Chae-jun clicked on the link to the Dico channel sent to her DM her her her and entered.
It looks like it’s a newly created channel.
“Hello! Woojin? Is that your real name?”
“Yes.”
“Nice to meet you. I just call you whatever you want. Jiyun called me to shut up and be a bus driver.”
“Ah… Yes, well, I understand.”
Maybe it’s because he’s in front of a woman, but he’s using his voice her so loud.
I thought for a moment.
Lee Ji-yoon’s friendly voice fell into the ears of Han Chae-jun, who had a wrinkled expression.
“Don’t worry about that guy, let’s learn how to engage from behind as best we can, shall we?”
Friendly.
And, Lee Ji-yoon.
A combination that makes you wonder if this makes sense,
“Okay. I’m a bit sorry that I wasn’t very good at it. I should have watched it all as a spectator.”
“No. I can’t help it.”
Even informally.
A bitch who always insisted on speaking politely even if she was in a hurry and spoke informally during the game,
In informal language.
Is she really a cheap bitch who criticizes every single thing she doesn’t like?
He said he was my sister’s friend, but is he doing that in front of someone he actually knows?
Hmm…
“I’ll just have one more glass of water for a moment. Maybe it’s because I talk too much…”
Just then, Lee Ji-yoon disappears from his seat with a rustle.
Han Chae-jun, who did not miss that moment, scratched his lips and spoke.
“Hey, Jiyoon, is that your usual image? How can I say, kind?”
“Yes?”
“Because I tend to be very talkative in games. It’s not that I don’t like it, but I think it’s different in front of people I actually know.”
“…”
“She also goes around cosplaying and pretending to be quiet. It doesn’t suit her.”
“…”
Han Chae-jun, who muttered with a grin, closed his mouth before Ji-yoon Lee came back.
At a glance, it may seem like a meaningless chat, but in reality, it was a conversation full of Han Chae-jun’s dark fight of wits.
I know a Lee Ji-yoon that you don’t know.
I guess that’s all there is between you. That feeling.
Well, it’s natural.
They say they’re not just friends, they’re my sister’s friends, but even if they were close, how close would they be?
I only picked it up because I was a newbie, but I wasn’t that friendly…
I think it’s a so-called ‘Knowledgeable Person 1’ position.
I’m closer than that bastard.
Han Chae-jun grinned as he picked up the potato chips that were placed next to him with chopsticks and ate them.
“He’s usually very shy.”
“…”
“But, in front of me, he became quite quiet. Should I say he became a doctor?”
“…”
The corners of Han Chae-jun’s mouth sink slightly.
“I’m not sure why.”
“…”
“I was like that yesterday when I was walking alone with Jiyoon.”
“…”
The low sound of potato chips being played in a crunchy sound.
As it neared its end, the sound of rustling headsets filled the silence.
“Oh, we haven’t been matched yet. There really isn’t anyone.”
“…”
“…”
You damn bastard.
Around the time when Han Chae-jun was cursing inside like that.
Seo Woo Jin was smiling leisurely.
Poor bastard.
If I hear something like Lee Ji-yoon’s moans through Disco, I’ll be sore.
Thinking like that.
