The S-Classes That I Raised [EN]: Chapter 548

546. Starting the Broadcast (2)

– Han Yoojin, I love you to death!!!!

“Thank you, yes, thank you.”

The back of my neck was burning. Is it because it’s a chat? So many people are saying they love me, haha. No, I’m twenty-five on the outside and thirty on the inside, so being called cute is a bit… They might be older than me, though.

– Why does Han Yoojin always wear the same t-shirt??

What? The same t-shirt? I even get help with coordinating…

– Pretty………

I was stunned for a moment. Th-that kind of… Uh, should I make puns like that too? More than that, what is ‘pretty’…? That’s for Yerim or Noah…

I was embarrassed and ashamed, but honestly, honestly, I felt good. Who in the world doesn’t like compliments? Still, being more handsome than the Seseong [a major guild] Guild Leader, well, depending on taste, it could be… Could it be?

Of course, there were some posts criticizing me. But as soon as those words came out, people retorted, saying, ‘What nonsense,’ and ‘Isn’t that a traitor?’ There might be foreigners here too. The automatic translation made it hard to tell, but the emoticons were a bit different.

“Wow, 60 years old. Really?”

“Mister, that’s a joke. I’m 72 years old!”

Yerim waved her hand at my words.

“I’m seventy-eight! Your first love!”

Moon Hyuna shouted with a smile. I glanced at Yoohyun, wondering if he had something like that too, and he answered.

“100 years old.”

“You’re the oldest!”

As Yerim said, it probably wasn’t real. I was still shy and awkward, but my heart was slowly fluttering. Unlike what I had worried about, it wasn’t bad. It was pretty good.

“Thank you for saying the beer is delicious~ But honestly, um, um.”

I have to be careful not to pay a penalty [likely a consequence for saying something wrong]. After the posts saying it was delicious, posts saying it wasn’t delicious came pouring in. Haha, I’m sorry. Wow, this person wrote a really long post. I scrolled back down to read it again and felt embarrassed again. Th-thank you.

“Yoohyun, give some reactions too. What are people saying?”

“Yoohyun, the Guild Leader says your brother is handsome.”

…Yoohyun said it like he was reading a book. Yerim was disgusted. Regardless, Yoohyun kept reading the chat.

“It’s like Peace and Han Yoohyun are just confirming each other’s survival.”

“No, they’re close! Look at this!”

I held Peace out close to Yoohyun, and Peace’s ears flopped back. His nose wrinkled too. Uh, um. That means he likes it.

“Han Yoohyun is really cute.”

“Euaaagh!”

Yerim covered her ears with both hands. Honestly, Yerim and Yoohyun are both cute in my eyes. Of course, Peace too. Even though Peace couldn’t read it, the chat window was open. Let’s take a peek.

– Show us Jelly just once!!!

– Peace, let’s go to college together!

If Peace wagged his tail even once, the speed at which posts went up increased dramatically. I understand. Our Peace is really cute and lovely.

“Chief Song, they’re asking you to smile! Here, put your hand out. Like this, a heart! You have to do it.”

“…I.”

“Look, Seseong Ahjussi [a term for older man, like ‘uncle’] is making a K-heart [a Korean-style heart gesture] for us too. You broke down walls because of us? Our Chief Song actually breaks down walls! Please look forward to it!”

“That’s only in unavoidable situations…….”

“We’re taking requests! The world’s only real civil servant S-Class Hunter! We’ll do anything for you today~ Just tell us what you want!”

“Hunter Park Yerim, just a─”

“Oh, he’s Chief Song’s colleague! Thank you for your support! Chief Song, a hand heart!”

Poor Chief Song’s soul was slowly draining away. Chatterbox, weren’t you actually aiming for Chief Song instead of me? The impact seems too great. Yoohyun was still indifferent, but he seemed to be checking the chat window from time to time. Suddenly, he smiled slightly.

“They say you and I look good together.”

He said. I smiled along with him. I guess so. We probably look really good together these days.

“Our Yoohyun is a really kind younger brother. Please take care of him~ Peace too, and of course, our Yerim too.”

Yerim is too much like a fish in water, though. Even if dungeons hadn’t appeared, she would probably be doing personal broadcasts with her friends by now. I heard a lot of kids do that these days.

“And Noah too! There are probably a lot of French people for Noah.”

Even though he was active in Korea, his nationality was still French, like Kang Soyoung, with dual citizenship. Noah smiled calmly at my words.

“Perhaps.”

“As expected, the most common word is ‘angel.’ When Noah smiles, it’s like the sun.”

It’s translated into Korean, but if you turn off the translation option, it’s all ‘angel, angel.’ There are also a lot of ‘pretty,’ ‘cute,’ ‘handsome,’ and so on.

“I’ve heard it a lot since I was young.”

“Yes?”

“My sister also praised my appearance.”

Noah said it with an attitude as if it was natural and ordinary for me to be called an angel. Come to think of it, he was calm when Yoon Yoon was talking about angels too. I would have been embarrassed. As expected, a born beautiful young man is different.

Hyuna-ssi had a swarm of first loves gathered around her. I understand. I really understand.

“I love you too.”

Hyuna-ssi said with a refreshing smile. It wasn’t good for my heart.

“How did you know my pajamas were dinosaurs? Should I report it? I will definitely beat the Guild Leader on my next birthday!”

Kang Soyoung shouted cheerfully, and

“They’re telling me to destroy everything?”

Liete smiled fiercely. Who keeps poking the bomb that explodes so easily anyway? Even Evelyn, who seemed like she would ignore it, had a kind smile and said thank you, really kindly. I wandered around from person to person and couldn’t resist my curiosity and approached Seong Hyunjae. Seong Hyunjae was also pretending to be an ordinary and decent common sense person.

“Minji-yang, happy birthday.”

At the affectionate birthday greeting, Moon Hyuna and I simultaneously frowned. Look at that pretense. Kyeol, on Seong Hyunjae’s shoulder, put his front paws on the chat window and wagged his tail anxiously as if he wanted to say something, then looked at me and opened his mouth to smile. The chat window must be going crazy over how cute Kyeol is.

“You’re reacting surprisingly well.”

“The kind and caring neighbor of the citizens, Seseong Guild.”

Ah… yes……. Seong Hyunjae was popular. I stroked Kyeol, who was happily clinging to me, and glanced at Seong Hyunjae’s chat window.

– Seong Hyunjae’s face is 4.9 points. There are no flaws on Seong Hyunjae’s face.

What is this? Then our Yoohyun is also 4.9 points. Seong Hyunjae looks a bit empty today, but his beauty is as good as ever……. Ugh, really.

“Are you really from Changnyeong Seong clan?”

“Well, what do you think? The rumors of discord with Director Han Yoojin are as you see.”

“It’s a broadcast, a broadcast. You have to pretend to be close on the broadcast. Of course, our family is really close. Right, Yoohyun! Yerim! Peace!”

“Yeah, hyung [older brother]. I love you.”

“Ahjussi [a term for older man, like ‘uncle’], me too, a heart!”

– Kkiang!

I made a hand heart following Yerim.

“The Seseong Guild Leader is handsome, I admit that.”

I swallowed the words that he has nothing but his face because I was afraid of getting cursed at. He has a lot of money too. And ability, well.

“I hope you do well on your exam.”

Seong Hyunjae kept saying politely. Everyone, this is all for the broadcast! You’re being fooled!

“Why don’t you make the broadcast more interesting?”

“Isn’t it interesting just to look at my face?”

…He’s annoying. It was even more annoying because it was true. I mentally gave him the middle finger and smiled warmly on the outside. It’s business, business. For the broadcast.

“Yes, happy birthday to your friend~ Happy birthday! Happy birthday, Yeji-nim [honorific suffix]~”

I also gave birthday greetings to the people who had birthdays. Some hunters were used to this kind of broadcast, but many were unfamiliar with it. Still, most of them had good reactions and smiling faces.

“Damn it!”

Of course, there were also hunters who got angry and turned off the chat window. There would be people who already had bad images,

‘It’s a hunter I fought with.’

There were also people who were being teased for being humiliated by an F-class stat. But can I only block people if they swear badly? Can I sue them too? It’s okay for me, but if they say harsh things to the kids, I have to respond with the law.

The commotion from when the broadcast first started gradually subsided. Yerim also released the tired Song Taewon. There were several people who turned off the chat window because it was distracting, even though the broadcast was on. I left it on for now.

“Information that is advantageous to the opposing team during the party will be automatically filtered.”

When the atmosphere calmed down, Chatterbox opened his mouth.

“Even if the cards in your hand during a poker game are broadcast and someone writes a post in the chat window, the participants will not be able to see it.”

If it’s a live broadcast, you could definitely use the chat window in that way. Is it okay otherwise?

“Sponsorship is not possible. Instead, a small amount of gold coins will be paid daily in proportion to the number of views and playback time.”

The hunters who had turned off the broadcast quickly turned it back on. There are definitely no disadvantages, but they’re being petty. How can you turn off the broadcast after hearing that?

“The viewing age is 15 years old, and real-time censorship is processed in compliance with the deliberation. The broadcast may be suspended depending on the situation.”

Chatterbox spoke like a broadcasting station official. He is an official now, though. There were a few posts in the chat window asking for a separate adult channel. There are minors here, so let’s keep it wholesome.

“A-class dungeon on Governors Island, the Arid Island. Channel Chatterbox has prepared a special space based on the dungeon for this party.”

The broadcast cameras all moved towards the dungeon with the entrance open.

– As expected, Phantom!

– Isn’t it dangerous? What if the dungeon explodes if you mess with it?

– There are several S-classes, so it’ll be taken care of in an instant.

– That’s why it’s an island.

Some people were puzzled by the mention of using a dungeon, but most were interested first. Dungeon researchers must be going crazy. Come to think of it, Seok Hayan’s team called me after seeing the last race. They asked if I could find out the detailed principles of how they suddenly moved to a space that looked like a dungeon and filmed a live broadcast, since I seemed to be close to Chatterbox, but what could I say?

I can’t say that he’s a Transcender [someone who has transcended human limitations]. I just said it was a trade secret and they wouldn’t tell me.

“You can’t leave out dungeons at a hunter’s party. Now, everyone!”

Chatterbox raised one arm and pointed to the dungeon.

“Please enjoy it lightly.”

He didn’t tell us what the inside was like. Even if it’s just a simple dungeon raid, viewers will be interested. This is the first time broadcasting inside a dungeon. Live broadcasts were impossible even before the regression.

‘…If it’s a real raid, I’ll be the most disadvantaged.’

Even if a low-level dungeon comes out to match my abilities, it won’t be as fun as a high-level one. Yoohyun and Yerim looked back at me worriedly.

“Is it a group raid? Or is it by team?”

Yerim raised her hand and asked.

“Of course, it’s by team.”

– If it’s A-class, what about ㅎㅇㅈ

– Director is the coolest…! Good luck!! I’ll support you!

Yes, I will try my best to last as long as possible. It might not be an ordinary dungeon. I wish everyone would suddenly become non-awakened like when we were stealing invitations.

“Then, dear Hunter Han Yoojin.”

Chatterbox pretended to be friendly with me and gestured for me to go inside. No, I’m not close to him. Don’t say things like that. I entered the dungeon building with worried gazes. Unlike other gates, I saw a dungeon entrance emitting white light. The staff member standing next to the gate had a kind smile.

“The order of entry does not affect anything. Would you like to leave your cell phone and belongings?”

“Can’t I use them inside?”

“The machines can be operated, but communication is not possible.”

What’s the point if I can’t communicate? Calculator? Notepad? I won’t be able to check my broadcast, let alone other people’s broadcasts. Did they ban communication to prevent people from watching other participants’ broadcasts? Still, I took out the SIM card just in case and left it.

“Monsters won’t attack me right away, will they?”

“No, they won’t.”

I took a breath and stepped into the gate.

CH. CHATTERBOX – Han Yoojin

A bright blue sky. The viewpoint slowly changes downwards, and an arid valley appears. A valley divided into three paths. When the camera zooms in on the straight path on the left, a huge lizard head suddenly pops out on the screen. Blue scales, black eyes, three horns, and two flickering tongues. Then, the camera zooms in on the rugged path in the center, followed by a small forest in the center of the path on the right. The forest is full of birds sitting on the trees. Birds similar to crows with black feathers. Their eyes are red.

[Flight is not allowed in this area.]

A subtitle appears, and the camera moves towards Han Yoojin.

“Ah, it’s hot.”

A humid air rushed in. Does Chatterbox like wastelands? Or is he doing this to make the viewers feel warm in early winter? He took off his wet coat, saying it would dry quickly, and threw it away. It’s a waste, but I can’t carry a coat around in the heat.

[This is the starting point.]

A message window soon appeared. Flight is not allowed in this area.

[Head to the opposite end of the valley.]

I looked at the three paths in front of me. Which way should I go, without guessing.

“Everyone.”

I smiled at the empty air. It’s still awkward. I remembered the test broadcast at the hotel. It definitely started with the sky and showed the whole thing. If so.

“Please explain the paths~♡”

I made a heart with my hands and said it. Ugh, it’s still awkward. Soon, posts started to come up in the chat window.
