My Favorite Has Started A Live Broadcast!

After deciding on the reactions, I spent quite some time choosing where to use the points.

I jotted down dozens of suggestions from the chat window into a memo, then Aro introduced me to the poll feature, which I decided to use.

“Why… are there only choices like this…?”

The poll options were narrowed down to about ten choices, but they were quite peculiar.

1st Place: Meowing

2nd Place: Belly Claps

3rd Place: Drinking Water

4th Place: Cat

5th Place: Acting Cute

6th Place: Contact Chocoa

7th Place: Singing

8th Place: Dialect

And so on, with many incomprehensible suggestions.

-Wow, these are packed with variety.

-Nice.

“…..Why would anyone want to use points just to watch me clap my stomach…?”

Hmm… Let’s think about it. If I had points, and I could use them on Chocoa’s stream to make her do a belly clap or act cute…?

“…Um… Hmm… I’ll pass on that.”

I asked the viewers about implementing the selected poll options, and after a while of struggling, I managed to set the points.

In the process, I learned about many Twitch functions, like preventing donations or slow chats, and banning troublesome viewers.

With a few clicks, I banned a malicious user spamming the chat.

“Oh… This is amazing.”

Spamming emojis like that would also get you banned on Chocoa’s stream, so banning here should be fine.

CoffeeIsBeer – Alright, let’s decide how many points each will cost.

“Hmm… Right… I’m not really sure what a reasonable price is…”

Setting a suitable price was pretty challenging. It reminded me of the old days when I’d test a new dish on a part-timer and ask how much we should sell it for—but it didn’t help much now.

“How many points do you all have, anyway?”

-500?

-20,000.

Aroalo – 90,000.

“Hmm… That’s quite a range… This is harder to decide than I thought…”

Aroalo – Want us to decide for you?

CoffeeIsBeer – We’ve watched a lot of streams, you know.

Seeing that message, I handed over control to Aro and Eunah Unnie, who probably had more experience watching streams than I did.

Not long after, Aro efficiently set the point costs and listed them in the chat.

“….Isn’t that a bit high?”

Even for something as simple as drinking water, viewers would need to spend a high price of 5,000 points.

And for ‘meowing,’ the top choice, they’d have to use 30,000 points just to see my embarrassment…

“Won’t people waste their points this way?”

My goal was simply to help viewers use up their surplus points, but with such high values, they might just keep accumulating.

However, Aro insisted it was still too low and asked if I wanted to apply the settings. After some thought, I went ahead and set the points.

CoffeeIsBeer – Haha, good luck.

“…?”

With Eunah Unnie’s puzzling encouragement, chaos began.

Meowing – 16 times

Belly Claps – 19 times

Acting Cute – 31 times

Cat – 4 times

‘Contact Chocoa’ – 5 times

Singing – 4 times

Dialect – 1 time

“…………”

I looked at the list of tasks noted down in my memo, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

“Th-the ‘cat’ thing… you mean Strawberry, right…?”

I slightly pushed my chair, revealing Strawberry, who was already snoozing, on screen, prompting a flurry of chats about her cuteness.

“She’s sleeping right now, so I’ll do it tomorrow when she’s awake… Sigh… Should I have a drink…”

Honestly, doing all those embarrassing actions would be tough without something to brace me.

I couldn’t stop thinking about alcohol, even though I couldn’t drink, but I knew better than to go there, so I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

CoffeeIsBeer – Hey, try opening the door.

Right as that message popped up, I heard a knock from the living room. I tilted my head in confusion.

“Now…?”

It was already a little past dinnertime.

Did I forget to make dinner for my sister…?

“No… that’s not it… Are you… okay?”

CoffeeIsBeer – My arm’s tired, hurry up.

Feeling puzzled, I walked into the living room and opened the door to find Eunah Unnie holding a black bag, and my exhausted-looking younger sister.

“Hey…”

Minyoung muttered as she fell into my arms, but I wasn’t fazed; I carefully put my hands under her neck and thighs and lifted her.

“Whew… You’re getting heavy… Up we go…”

I carried Minyoung into the room and gently laid her on the bed.

“Ugh… That practice test was brutal…”

“You did well. Anything you want to eat?”

“Uh… Not really? Just hungry…”

She mumbled as she hugged Strawberry, who was sleeping soundly. But Strawberry, sleeping too deeply, didn’t wake up.

“Oh… This is where they film that stream…”

Eunah Unnie entered the room with a crunching sound, carrying her bag.

Seeing that I hadn’t turned off the camera, I glanced at her in surprise, but she looked around the room as if it were no big deal.

“Hi.”

She waved at the camera before leaving the room, or so I thought.

Instead, she brought a chair over, sat down at the computer, and placed the black bag on the desk.

“What’s that?”

“Alcohol. You said you wanted to drink?”

“…..I have a kid here, why…”

“She’s not drinking, right? Only us adults are.”

“Still…”

The thought of drinking scared me. What if I got a bit too tipsy and said something weird, like revealing Chocoa’s real name?

That would be a disaster. She might end up hating me.

“Don’t worry. This should be fine.”

“…Wait…”

Eunah unnie pulled out a can of Iseul TokTok from the bag.

“I have school tomorrow too, so I don’t plan on drinking heavily. If you start talking nonsense, I’ll just turn off the computer. How about that?”

As she held out the can, she looked like a devil tempting a human into a deal.

I turned to Minyoung for guidance, hoping she’d make a wise choice.

Nod nod nod nod nod nod nod nod nod

“…..Alright…”

My sister, with a strangely refreshed expression, nodded enthusiastically, causing Strawberry to wake up.

“Nyaang…”

Realizing that it wasn’t Su-yeon holding her, Strawberry squirmed out of her arms and rubbed her eyes with his pink paw pads.

“Meow…”

Strawberry walked over to me, but since she still couldn’t get down from the bed alone, I picked her up and laid her back down, patting her softly.

“Sleep well, my little one~”

Singing the lullaby Mom used to hum, Strawberry quickly fell asleep.

-Coco-nene~

-We’re always left behind…

“Sigh… So, what would you like to eat?”

“…Nothing specific? Should we just order something?”

“What about you?”

“Ordering sounds fine, actually. We don’t do it often.”

“Really? Then I’ll go pick it up. Delivery fees are crazy these days.”

“…..You’re really dedicated.”

“Of course. How about some fried chicken?”

Both Minyoung and Eunah Unnie agreed with my choice, so I threw on some casual clothes and stepped out.

Eunah POV

“She really left.”

With Su-yeon gone, it was just me, Minyoung, and the small creature sleeping nearby.

“…….”

“Want a drink?”

“No.”

Minyoung replied firmly, sitting up with a composed, slightly cooler vibe than when Su-yeon was around. I opened a can and spoke up.

“You’re curious too, right? How she acts when she’s drunk.”

“Ugh…”

Minyoung hesitated, then nodded after a moment.

“Mm~”

Drinking without any snacks… It felt a bit strange to even call this alcohol.

Anyway, though it contained alcohol, it didn’t give off the refreshing sensation of beer or strong liquor.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have brought this… Do you have any real alcohol around?”

“Uh… Not sure? Unless there’s something special, we don’t really drink.”

“Something special?”

Minyoung touched the sleeping cat’s fur and replied.

“Usually, she drinks with friends… Or when things get tough.”

“I see. So if she’s drinking, it must mean something is up…?”

I thought of the internet-famous clips of Su-yeon’s drunken antics.

-Bwaaaahhh! Chocoa…

“Since she seems happy about Chocoa, what would happen if she got tipsy now?”

“…Isn’t it hard to get drunk on that…?”

“True.”

Shaking the now-empty can, I turned back to check on the viewers I had left waiting.

“Hi everyone, this is Eunah, managing with Aro.”

-Why does that villa attract only people like this?

-Wow, I wasn’t ignored.

“Feel free to grab a drink too. If you want to see Baraa’s drunk antics, stay tuned to the stream. Honestly, I think she’d react pretty entertainingly even with just this.”

-Yes

Pshhh—

Just before I opened the next can, Baraa returned.
