Ficool

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: I Am Deaf

Choi Da-ram did not hold back.

She immediately put down the bread she was holding modestly and lunged, but Shin Yu-ri did not look.

Since she had a corner to trust, her gaze was fixed on her phone.

"Haa..."

Han Ye-rin was just tired.

Because she knew well that she had to step up.

Han Ye-rin lightly suppressed the lunging Choi Da-ram.

"Girls, stop it..."

"No, this bitch started it..."

"Da-ram is scary... Kowai [Scary]."

"Hey let go. That eye-smile, I'll... Eek!!!"

"Yu-ri please..."

"Let go of thisss!!"

Confirming that the Choi Da-ram containment device was operating normally, Shin Yu-ri ignored Choi Da-ram, who was huffing and puffing in Han Ye-rin's arms, and focused on her phone again.

[Title: So is he really doing it?] That Nogada person?

He's just turning off the sound and doing it?

Broadcasting?

Who would watch that???

ㄴ IDK

ㄴ Looking at it, it's close to a hobby broadcast, isn't he just doing it

 ㄴ For a hobby, his broadcast hours are fucking long

ㄴ He'll figure it out I guess

ㄴ He'll probably just do a little and stop

ㄴ Isn't he just putting significance on participating?

Shin Yu-ri sympathized while looking at that post.

The main fun element of the Life Server lies entirely in relationships with people.

Although there are various jobs and systems, those are all just means and side dishes to create connections; the main course inevitably becomes the narrative with people.

Well... if you shoot a gun amazingly well, you could participate in war as a mercenary, but even that requires a war to break out.

Then until then?

War might happen frequently depending on the situation, or it might not.

If it doesn't happen, or if it happens in the late game, what is he going to do.

Actually, even participating is ambiguous.

For a person with no narrative or anything to suddenly appear and do well...

Shin Yu-ri frowned at the recurring negative thoughts.

No matter how I think about it, it's ambiguous.

Is he trying it because it's just a shame not to participate?

Well, since he's a Hakko, that's understandable.

But he didn't seem like that kind of person.

Of course, at best I only saw a few clips... but I saw the will to make the broadcast fun.

Thinking that as she scrolled down, she saw a post similar to Shin Yu-ri's thoughts just in time.

[Title: Don't know about anything else but Nogada-ham's stubbornness is dead serious] I once accidentally took the gay route while playing King the Com?

He's a person who just pushed through to the end and saw the King the Com gay ending, don't ignore him nono

Plus when this person plays King the Com, he sets a concept fitting each playthrough... I won't explain further

Anyway, he probably didn't say it without thinking

He'll probably play the server until the end too

ㄴ Wut?

ㄴ What does that mean

ㄴ Gay gay gay...

ㄴ Definitely his stubbornness is dead serious;;

ㄴ The most manly action...

ㄴ Gay acting? Oh...

 ㄴ Kinda hot

 ㄴ You get out lol

 ㄴ He took a break for the first time after doing this lolololol

 ㄴ Understandable

ㄴ Nogada-ham is seriously a huge gay;;

"Ahahahaha, puhaha...!"

"What, this crazy bitch. Why are you suddenly laughing."

Shin Yu-ri burst out laughing seeing that post and drew back the attention of Choi Da-ram who had turned away.

"Hey what are you looking at."

The start was simple curiosity.

Since he was the person who blew up the server, I wondered what kind of person he was and looked him up a bit.

Then it was fun so I even went to his broadcast station and watched a few clips.

"Hmm..."

Just that one thing.

It's really just a passing issue, but it strangely remained.

Why?

Ah, his voice was kinda nice.

If it was just a little heavier and... less raspy, it would have been exactly my type.

Is that why?

Shin Yu-ri, recalling yesterday's clip again, soon laughed alone and lay face down on the desk.

"Princess is sleepy. Gonna sleep."

"Isn't this a crazy bitch."

"Da-ram-ah."

"No I'm right though!!"

Cancel.

It's not 'just'.

Since it's funny even thinking about it again, it's worth getting interested enough.

Just then, the back door of the classroom opened and a familiar face, faces entered.

"Honey!!!"

"Ah bullshit."

"Ye-rin?"

It was Lee Ju-yeong and his group.

From the start, bowl cut Lee Ju-yeong, and the bowl cut with glasses smaller than that Lee Ju-yeong, Choi Jae-rim.

Behind them, Ahn Woo-jin, the perfect son style with reasonably tall height and handsome face.

Finally, even Kim Jae-hyun who was a head taller than that Ahn Woo-jin.

Perhaps because his height is his height, even though he was at the very back, Kim Jae-hyun entered Shin Yu-ri's eyes first.

Neatly cut semi-curly hair, reasonably large eyes that give a slightly sharp impression due to the eye corners.

A firm mouth and straight nose bridge fitting for a face with bold lines.

Up to here, it was plausible.

But if you put powerless pupils and round horn-rimmed glasses that contradict all previous elements on top of that?

Ta-da, a somewhat blank-looking hulk is completed.

Looking at each part one by one, it's definitely a sturdy feeling, but the impression changes completely because of those eyes and glasses.

Should I say like a grizzly bear beaten by society?

Or a big frozen pollack?

Unlike his build, he feels like he would flutter away if poked.

A feeling of looking somewhat weak.

But he's surprisingly strong...

Shin Yu-ri nodded recalling the last incident.

There's no way a weak-hearted person could do such a firm rejection.

I definitely felt he was hiding something, and maybe that's why my eyes kept going to him.

Hmm... actually they went to him originally too, so I should say 'more'.

Shin Yu-ri waved her hand looking straight at Kim Jae-hyun.

Because of Kim Jae-hyun's height, her gaze was directed upwards so there was no room for misunderstanding, and the friends in front moved to both sides in unison.

Kim Jae-hyun looked at those friends for a moment and waved his hand back normally.

His head was slightly tilted, but surprisingly his hand was diligent.

The look in his eyes asking 'why are they doing that' was explicit, yet he accepted the greeting well, so Shin Yu-ri smiled.

He's exceptionally harsh on me, Jae-hyun is.

I thought things like 'You're the first person to treat me like this!' only existed in manhwa.

Why... am I attracted, continuously.

It felt like it got worse starting from that day when heavy rain poured.

To the point where I felt it was dangerous myself.

Ah, of course, it was closer to curiosity than romantic attraction.

If Shin Yu-ri had to pick, she liked passionate people rather than laid-back people, so Kim Jae-hyun was very far from that.

Yeah, his face is a bit my type, but his personality is a no.

Of course, the way he desperately tries to distance himself is a bit cute, but still, not my type.

If I had to categorize, is this... sadism?

Because he's a bit cheeky too.

Shin Yu-ri stood up thinking that.

At that, Lee Ju-yeong hesitated and moved away, and Choi Jae-rim's posture became polite.

It was understandable since Choi Jae-rim was shorter than her, and Lee Ju-yeong was similar to her.

They shrink back without realizing.

Shin Yu-ri, who looked at the two for a moment, turned her gaze again and looked at Kim Jae-hyun.

No, to be more exact, she looked at the blanket draped over his shoulders.

Did he say he surprisingly feels the cold?

A blanket hanging on that massive build still wasn't familiar, but that wasn't important right now.

She felt a strange satisfaction that her gaze had to go upwards and leaned her upper body forward a little.

And opening her mouth with a deep smile.

It was intentional.

Kim Jae-hyun's mask crumbled when she saw beyond his mask, meaning she had to recreate that moment.

Therefore, Shin Yu-ri intentionally half-closed her eyes.

Wagging her tail, she looked straight at Kim Jae-hyun.

"I'm cold, so can you lend me your blanket?"

Kim Jae-hyun answered with an unchanged expression.

"No."

Getting rejected happens often these days.

Shin Yu-ri thought that and snatched the blanket.

"Breaking fucking news!!! Kim Jae-hyun got his blanket looted!! By Shin Yu-ri!!!"

"Finally the day that skin is peeled off is coming... Wait, Shin Yu-ri?"

"Choi Jae-rim-ah, come here and sit."

"Master, I saw it clearly!!"

I wish everyone would just disappear.

I thought about bending my waist and catching Choi Jae-rim running away, but soon gave up.

"What? Really?"

"Well come to think of it, from before..."

"Both had zero interest in the opposite sex, as expected birds of a feather..."

"So his standards were high. No, even so, Shin Yu-ri is..."

"Well to hunt a beast of that level, the hunter shouldn't be ordinary either."

Even if my feet are fast, they are slower than sound, and the news was already spreading.

Breaking through that and catching Choi Jae-rim...

Even so, 5 against 1 is tough.

Giving up quickly, I ignored the gazes piercing from all directions and sat down.

Still, the gazes were familiar.

Why?

Because I'm tall, I stand out wherever I go.

Since the last measurement was 189, I might have grown more.

Standing out only to have no one approach is a problem, but let's count that as the fate of an ambiguous supporting character.

Anyway, I arrived at my seat without interference and sat down.

Now if I just live like a person who doesn't exist until the next class...

"Jae-hyun-ah."

"Excuse me Mr. Kim Jae-hyun. I have something to say."

"There will be a brief inspection."

"We won't hurt you."

Ah please keep your distance like usual.

You guys aren't kids like this.

I looked at the kids with such a wish, but soon realized it was too late.

I ignored the high schoolers' curiosity and desire for love too much.

I should have gone out of the classroom right away.

I stroked my shoulder looking at the demons approaching with shining eyes.

Today, the empty spot of the blanket felt large.

"Okay then, I'm really going in."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Nogada ON LINE [Viewer]: Deaf appearance [Viewer]: There has never been an RP like this [Viewer]: Like hell there was something like this [Viewer]: You looked in bad condition today, can you make a voice? [Viewer]: Fr looked fucking drained of strength

"Ah it's possible."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Got hit once? [Pun on Daechim - parboiled vs hit] [Viewer]: Seriously fucking drained [Viewer]: Lolololololol

Leaving the viewers' worries behind, I clicked the server connection button.

After a brief loading, I fell onto some field.

First, I turned on the settings window and turned off all sounds.

Chat Window [Viewer]: It wasn't just turning off the mic? [Viewer]: Then you're not deaf [Viewer]: That's true; [Viewer]: Fucking thorough lololol

"Ah, and from now on I won't look at the chat window. They said it's optional but if possible I won't look."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Yea Yea [Viewer]: Hurry and depart. [Viewer]: Rather good [Viewer]: That's comfortable for us too though [Viewer]: Have to spray Red Pills [spoilers/truth] like crazy [Viewer]: This is another fun part

At the viewers' more favorable reaction than expected, I put away the chat window without burden and turned my gaze to the game.

In the middle of a secluded road with no one around, I, that is Nogada, stood.

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.

"As expected, falling into the mine last time was a setup."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Fuck startled me [Viewer]: No thought an ad played [Viewer]: What [Viewer]: No where did the baritone go fuck lolololol [Viewer]: Who are you;; [Viewer]: This works [Viewer]: He was a pro [Viewer]: ???: Broadcast is a hobby

A raspy voice that sounds a bit old.

Satisfactory.

Then shall we go.

Thinking that, I turned on the map.

Convenience store... is this it?

I clicked the convenience store and ran according to the route.

Shouting 'I am deaf.'

Chat Window [Viewer]: Lol they get startled [Viewer]: Even I would be startled if someone went around doing that with that voice [Viewer]: No the voice is freaking raspy lolol [Viewer]: Intense from the start [Viewer]: No if he shouts in that state is his throat okay? Lololol

Because I met many people and had to shout quite often, I drank water as soon as I arrived at the convenience store.

"Ah refreshing."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Did the character buy water too because he's drinking water himself? [Viewer]: What character, it is reality [Viewer]: Protect RP

"Now then... Oh there it is, a sign."

I bought a sign and wrote words.

'I am deaf'

"Now I have to carry this around, since I can't live with my throat hurting."

Chat Window [Viewer]: Lolololololololol [Viewer]: Looks fucking stupid lolol

"Oh they sell pickaxes here too. Let's buy and go."

Chat Window [Viewer]: This is rather good [Viewer]: They didn't sell it at the mine? [Viewer]: Planned the route like shit [Viewer]: Can feel the malice lololol

"Heok-mi [Gosh], price is vicious."

I bought a few more tools with the blood-like settlement support funds and left the convenience store.

Now then... let's go to the mine.

Chat Window [Viewer]: Mine ikimasho! [Viewer]: Mine is loud? Can just turn off sound [Viewer]: Chicken farm got buffed so it's less loud than before
