It’s not that kind of malicious broadcast

『Revan: So, what were you curious about in the first place?』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Ah』

『CravingWarmAmericano: I was trying to set up some broadcasting rules for my broadcast content』

『Revan: This is good news to hear』

『Revan: It seems like content you should have done about 8 months ago, though』

『Revan: Anyway, let’s start by legislating a ban on Tas broadcast invasions』

『Revan: Not like you’re some summoner or anything』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Invasion… they’re good friends』

『Revan: ?』

『Revan: Are you speaking Korean?』

『Revan: Who are you calling good?』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Me and my friends』

『Revan: I’d love to see your expression』

『Revan: Maybe that’s why viewers are asking you to turn on your webcam』

『CravingWarmAmericano: 😅』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Anyway, Revan, your chat room is famous for being clean』

『Revan: Why the past tense?』

『CravingWarmAmericano: 🤐』

(Revan is typing…)

『Revan: Let’s hear what you have to say』

『CravingWarmAmericano: So, I wanted to learn any know-how you have for setting up rules』

『CravingWarmAmericano: I have my reasons for needing a cleaner chat』

(Revan is typing…)

『Revan: To be honest』

『Revan: It seems like closing and reopening your broadcast is the only solution』

『Revan: The problem is the broadcaster』

『CravingWarmAmericano: 😥』

(Revan is typing…)

『Revan: Initially, it might be tough since it’s not in your nature, but if you strictly enforce the rules for about 6 months and weed out the problematic elements, it will improve significantly』

『Revan: I’ll send you the internal regulations I gave to my managers early on. Read through them』

(Revan is typing…)

『Revan: From what you told me, you’re planning to take legal action as well』

『Revan: The broadcast atmosphere might become more rigid, but it will get cleaner』

『Revan: Make sure to manage it well so the atmosphere doesn’t turn weird』

『Revan: Although, I have a feeling you’ll manage just fine』

『Revan: By the way, didn’t you say you were going to announce it today?』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Ah』

『CravingWarmAmericano: Yes』

『CravingWarmAmericano: I was doing it』

『Revan: ? That was quick』

「Revan: Isn’t this a bit too fast?」

「Revan: Aren’t the viewers freaking out?」

「CravingWarmAmericano: Ah, yes」

「CravingWarmAmericano: It’s not a major disaster, more like a moderate one」

「CravingWarmAmericano: So, I stopped the broadcast for a moment」

「Revan: ?」

「Revan: You stopped the broadcast just because there was a fire?」

「CravingWarmAmericano: Hmm」

「CravingWarmAmericano: Well, not exactly because of the fire」

「CravingWarmAmericano: It seemed like you didn’t like me asking questions during the broadcast… so I took a break」

(Revan is typing a message…)

「Revan: I’m really curious, so I have to ask」

「Revan: You didn’t stop the broadcast just to come and ask me something, did you?」

「CravingWarmAmericano: 😮」

「CravingWarmAmericano: Sorry, but can I go back to broadcasting now?」

「CravingWarmAmericano: I just got a sudden good idea」

「Revan: Hey」

「Revan: Hey, you crazy girl」

* * * *

“Ah. Can you hear me well?”

「This feels strange, like something that happened not long ago」

「Is this what they call déjà vu?」

「Stopping the broadcast for 30 minutes, you son of a b—」

「🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥」

「The true pioneer of first and second part broadcasting: GetDevoured」

「What are you doing, GetDevoured…」

「🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥」

「If you’re going to do this, at least leave a marker」

「So, how’s the lawsuit going?」

-『User』 donated 1,000 KRW!-

【Honestly, if the second part had a cam on, I’d totally support it】

「Totally agreed」

「Smash that like button」

「🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥」

「Likes are through the roof」

「Smash that like button」

「Please, just turn on the camera」

「🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥」

「Your face is already out there, why aren’t you turning on the camera?」

「I’m watching with a gif underneath, feels like a cam broadcast, love it」

Public sentiment was rather intense. I wanted to describe it as a “warm welcome”, but I had to hold back.

Thanks to returning relatively quickly, the protestors did gather, but it wasn’t to the extent that I expected, with an atmosphere feeling like a witch hunt on the horizon. A bit more roughness would have been acceptable, but this level wasn’t bad at all.

Most importantly, the talk about complaints had almost disappeared. That subtly tense atmosphere from before the broadcast? It had vanished.

It was a relief. Truly.

People like Lee Yeri, Jinhee, and Ahri, who would get hurt in my place, were difficult to avoid entirely. I no longer intended to evade things anymore. After all, everything that happened was either because of my actions or events that occurred to me.

Either way, I had to bear the responsibility. Of course, I intended to do so.

But honestly, truthfully… I was scared. That people would either avoid conflicts by “preparing lawsuits” or simply… leave.

It was still difficult to know exactly why so many people gathered here. Numerous channels popped up daily on KoK. Now, even rogue channels were quite prevalent.

So honestly, the people gathered here could easily scatter and find shows that suited their tastes. In fact, that would be the natural course of things.

Especially now that rules were being established.

The idea of a boring playground where a teacher watched with folded arms, ready to leap out and reprimand at any sign of danger, would make anyone either sit quietly or find a new playground.

Thus, despite my best efforts to hide it, I was quite anxious.

Maybe that’s why I found the familiar flow of the chat so enjoyable. Watching it in real-time brought a sense of peace – just momentarily, I wanted to be an observer.

Heat-gaze—

…But not now.

“I’m sorry. There was a slight technical issue. So, as planned, the second part will be about setting the broadcast rules… but before we start that, shall we leave a post-protest review? As an epilogue to the first part.”

-Ahem.

Even without a prepared script, it was still a topic.

It was a request from FanTube’s manager, Yuna.

She had begged, almost in tears by the end of a meal, asking me not to crush and ignore G-Tube content in a hurry and to occasionally drop a few words during significant moments.

Though caught off guard, I ended up nodding. It struck me as childish bargaining, as one’s studies are for one’s benefit and wouldn’t serve as negotiating chips unless dealing with parents or teachers.

However, I couldn’t refuse coldly. That was just natural.

She was Revan’s sister, after all.

Surely, she didn’t know how well such negotiation tactics would work on me due to the guilt, gratitude, and sense of debt I felt… Or did she?

It’s hard to believe I was so transparent that even a minor could read me like an open book.

It was partly about self-esteem but also about survival. If Revan discovered it, there’s no telling how he’d exploit it. Especially since he held substantial content rights.

Like forcing me to play horror games… or making me impersonate a Warrior.

In the worst case—

“Um…”

It was time to talk about the review. Was it due to these frivolous thoughts continually intruding? When I thought about ‘review’, I wasn’t sure what to say.

Though it was always easy to talk normally, under this spotlight, it felt different. Being a G-Tuber was clearly not for everyone. Maybe I’d have to seek advice from Ark soon.

Where should I start… Um. Should I start with the part where Ark approached with a greeting, trying to hide a motorbike helmet behind her back, almost as if planning with Revan to force it on me?

That wouldn’t work, right?

『Yes, thanks for the review』

『Is she disappearing again?』

『Got it, expanding the scope of the lawsuit』

『Ugh, if it weren’t for the lawsuit declaration』

『Is this on purpose?』

『Hold tight, we are entering the ant-shaking mode』

『It’s illegal to provoke the Teacher into cursing and then sue』

『An ‘Anti-Bullying Law’ is urgently needed, really』

『Everyone, step back from your keyboards, this is super dangerous』

『Turn on the webcam, 32nd time trying』

……Maybe I hesitated a little too long.

“Sorry, I was just… thinking for a moment. Anyway, yes. How was the protest… It was really good. I wanted to bring back lots of candy, but I ended up giving it all away… More administrators volunteered than I expected. It was nice.”

I smoothed over the buzzing chat, reading the visible comments as I continued to engage with her audience.

Ah. I needed to appoint those people as actual broadcast managers.

…… The notebook where I wrote down their IDs….

Hmm.

First, let’s promote ReformedGwangjil, whose name I clearly remember, to manager. The rest can be done later, after I find the notebook.

After operating the mouse a few times to finish the task, I logged into the fan cafe and displayed the photo filling up the screen.

It was a picture taken from the second floor.

…… Given the scale, it could look quite modest from a distance, but someone took a good zoomed-in shot. A thankful photo.

“This is a picture taken from the second floor. Pretty impressive, right? I think even those at Faraday would have realized the gravity of the situation. Honestly, compared to other games that just send around one or two trucks, this was on a whole different level.”

As expected, not many agreed. Even if a few hundred people attended the protest, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the ten thousand or so gathered on the broadcast… Most of those chatting probably didn’t even go near the protest.

It was some comfort that quite a few expressed jealousy.

【But there wasn’t a single article, right? It was just a quiet fan meeting, right?】

… That stung a bit.

Why weren’t there any articles?

I mean, hundreds of people gathered… Is this kind of protest that common? Or should I have met up with the reporters beforehand, treated them to drinks and meals? Who knows. It’s not like it’s that important.

Anyway, yeah.

Meeting the passionate members of the Rogue Revival Movement and broadcasting our message had its own significance. We also collected some membership applications.

It felt like taking steps forward. I didn’t know the exact direction, but the important thing was that we were moving.

Definitely.

“Attorney Yoo, I’ve reviewed the materials you prepared. You did an amazing job… But don’t you think ten people is a bit too few? What’s your opinion on this?”

“It’s too few! Really too few! Honestly, I held back from saying it a hundred times. Thank you for bringing it up. Even a hundred people wouldn’t be enough, right?”

“I think so too. But as the client’s sibling and attorney, she wants to minimize legal actions on her part… We do need to consider that. However, I’ll discuss it. Oh, one more thing. It looks like you’ve finished the status board…”

“Yes! It’s not on the live server yet, but it will look like this. Here, you see – it shows from rank 1 to 20.”

“Yes, it looks good, but can we blind the ranks from 8 to 12 and from 18 to 20?”

“By blind, you mean-”

“Just make them invisible. If someone was 7th and their rank disappeared, they shouldn’t know if they’re now 10th or 11th. And if they were 13th and the rank disappears, they shouldn’t know if they dropped to 18th or climbed to 10th. I’d like that ambiguity. It doesn’t seem complex, can we do it?”

“… That’s genetic.”

“Sorry?”

“Oh, nothing! Yes, we can do that!”
