Chapter 148
Reincarnation… No, I guess it’s now my “pre-reincarnation.”
Anyway, if I exclude a past life I barely remember, I’ve never once felt motion sickness.
Even the first time I rode a carriage, I thought it was a trashy experience, but I didn’t feel dizzy.
That was even before I reached a higher state, so you can imagine what it was like afterward.
In short, I’ve lived my life completely free of motion sickness.
But the moment I saw the scene unfolding before me, I couldn’t help but murmur to myself.
“…Dizzying.”
Ah, so this is what motion sickness feels like.
So Da-eun really watches all this while streaming?
Seeing all this noise just below the sound of animal cries?“…That’s just because you’re here right now, it’s not usually this intense.”
I turned my head to stare at Da-eun, who had somehow crept up beside me, and she murmured defensively.
“If there’s even a trace of human decency left in them, shouldn’t they behave whether I’m here or not?”
“Hey, sis.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s mean to hit people with facts.”
“…??”
—I’m too hurt inside right now…
—Whoa… slander… Whoa…
—Thank you for the gift of truth.
—I’ll sue you for this slander.
—Shouldn’t little sis be suing all of you?
—We’re sor
—Sure~ Even if you say that, we’re not stopping~
“…This is tough.”
It didn’t look like Da-eun had any plans to stop streaming, so I thought I’d try getting used to it, but it’s harder than I thought.
Even if Da-eun says this reaction isn’t the norm, it doesn’t seem particularly unusual either.
“You don’t need to understand, sis. Actually, don’t even try to understand. It won’t do you any good…”
“Hm…”
I have to admit, I agree with her.
“Are you sure that’s okay?”
“Hmm?”
“You’re listening to all of this.”
“Ohh. Are you worried they might get hurt by it? Don’t worry. They don’t even blink at things like this.”
—True, but why does it bother me so much?
—Unlike some people, she’s actually very sweet haha
—Please grow up just like this…
—Actually, please don’t grow up like this…
—?
—?
—How old is she?
“I’m letting it slide this time, but if anyone asks about her personal info again, it’s a ban. The only thing I’ll say is that she’s a minor. And since she’s a minor… you all get it, right?” Ṛ
—I’ve opened my notes app 📝
—Can you stop taking notes and hold your breath instead?
—Honestly, it was pretty clear she wasn’t an adult given her size 😅
—No way!!!! Not legal!!!!
—That’s a good thing <<< Now you, get out.
“Legal?”
I plucked a comment that had almost slipped past me in the flood of messages.
The word “legal” means something doesn’t break the law, right?
Was there something we were talking about that warranted such a word?
Curiously, I tugged on Da-eun’s sleeve.
“Da…”
…Ah, I shouldn’t call her that here.
“…Sister.”
“Yes! I’m your sister!”
—? lol
—What’s up with the energy? haha
—WTF I almost jumped out of my seat;
—Why’s she so excited?
—If she was going to love it this much, she should have brought her sooner, right? (deleted message)
“Are there age restrictions on streams?”
“Age restrictions? It depends on the stream. Some streams have age restrictions if the content isn’t suitable for minors.”
“What kind of stream wouldn’t be suitable for minors?”
“Hmm… Like streams with drinking, excessive exposure, games with age restrictions… things like that.”
Then she leaned in closer to me, making sure her voice didn’t get picked up by the mic, and whispered:
“…It’s stricter here.”
“…True.”
In Silia, things were much more relaxed that way.
In a world where it’s not strange if you die at any moment, it’s funny to worry about things like that, right?
Plus, the standards for being considered an adult were more lenient.
‘Can you wield a weapon and fight? Great, you pass!’
…Something like that.
Compared to Silia, Korea here is an incredibly peaceful country, so naturally, people’s awareness of human rights is higher.
At first, I didn’t get why something wasn’t “legal,” but after Da-eun’s explanation, it all made sense.
“I totally understand now.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. So you’re saying you’re streaming content unsuitable for minors, right?”
“Pffft—?!”
—LOLLLLL?
—hahahahahahahaha
—Hello, adult streamer Joanie!
—I almost pretended I was watching adult content when my parents came in while I was watching Joanie’s stream.
—Confirmed: sis’s stream is R-rated
—No wonder it’s appealing. (Message deleted.)
Pffft!
Da-eun, who had been calmly sipping from her tumbler, spat out her water.
“Hack, hhhck…! cough!”
Even while choking, she pounded on her chest, visibly struggling.
After what seemed like forever, she finally managed to catch her breath.
“I really thought I was going to die…”
She looked at me with a deeply exasperated expression.
“You said you totally understood!”
“? I understood, didn’t I?”
“In what universe is that understanding?!”
—Ah, “I totally understand” = not understanding
—Yep, got it
—Did… I get it?
—Since she said it, it must be right!
—Yep lol
What did I get wrong?
We were all fine until my age came up, and that’s when the term “legal” popped up, so there’s an age-related issue, right?
If a minor can’t stream age-restricted content, then logically, Da-eun must be streaming that kind of content.
Isn’t that a perfect conclusion?
“Yep, it’s flawless reasoning.”
—??? It’s a sound deduction with no counterarguments.
—As a detective myself, I shed a tear while giving it an upvote.
—Joanie, that’s low
—Sis made a correct point but won’t admit it. Tsk tsk.
“What’s right about it! Do you know how many minors watch my stream?”
“Eh.”
Judging by her reaction, I guess I was wrong.
I don’t feel that bad, though, since Da-eun isn’t exactly the best actress.
“So then, why did you say that?”
“…Sis.”
“Hm?”
“Are you ready for a brutal truth?”
Brutal truth?
Clueless, I nodded, and Da-eun leaned close, whispering to me.
Listening closely to her explanation, I could finally understand everything clearly this time.
…
—LMAO
—How can we see her expression through the mask?
—So much disdain;
—What’s going on? I don’t understand
—If you don’t get it, just stay silent~
—Are they not afraid of lawsuits?
—For real, she’s a minor and a private individual, yet they’re going full throttle.
—Isn’t going to prison a win if you get rewarded for it?
“Ugh…”
“I’m sorry.”
Da-eun bowed her head, apologizing with a guilty look.
“Mm, there’s no need to apologize. It’s not like… you’re the one at fault, sis. It’s those beasts…”
—??
—gasp;
—what
—True…
—praise lol
As I was speaking, I paused, thinking, ‘Maybe that was too harsh?’
Normally, I’d let it fly without a second thought, but this isn’t my stream.
I can’t ruin Da-eun’s livelihood, after all.
“—It’s just her viewers being like that.”
“…Thanks for understanding.”
“Still, I think you need to set some boundaries.”
“Yeah… I thought the same. Before, it was fine to manage things loosely… but since my audience has grown, I can’t let things slide as before. Anyway, I’m sure they didn’t mean it seriously.”
“You think so…?”
—Yeah, exactly
—Trust us on this
—^^7
…Not convinced at all.
Either way, Da-eun doesn’t seem like she’s going to let this situation continue.
Of course, she wouldn’t want her stream turning into a zoo.
“Since we’re on the topic, why don’t we set new rules for the stream today?”
—No no no no no
—Yes, yes, yes, yes
—How about dissecting anyone who objects?
“Ooh, that’s not a bad idea.”
—You [bleep]!! (message deleted)
—Where do you live???
—Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
—Setting rules is good, but can you turn up the mic volume a bit?
“The mic volume? Is it too low?”
—No, no, it’s fine.
—Nah, it’s alright?
—We can hear the streamer just fine, but it’s hard to hear the sibling’s voice.
—Yeah, it’s true; the sibling’s voice is a bit low.
—If we max out the volume, the streamer’s voice gets too loud.
“Hey! What’s wrong with my voice?”
As Da-eun screeched, the chat collectively screamed, “Kyaaa!”
Watching the scene unfold in front of me, I found myself lost in thought.
The sound is low, huh?
Well, that’s on purpose; I’m intentionally speaking softly.
If anyone said they could hear me clearly, I’d planned to make it even quieter, but I guess there’s no need for that.
Why? Simple.
It’s in case anyone found my voice suspicious.
Even if it’s different from my usual tone and muffled by the costume, someone might still recognize it.
Da-eun and I had already discussed this, so she didn’t mind ignoring the viewers’ complaints about the sound.
“It’s because my sibling is a bit shy, so just bear with it.”
—Eh?
—Shy, what now?
—For someone who’s shy, they’re pretty blunt…
—Shy, my foot. If they were any shyer, they’d be stabbing us with a pitchfork.
—Doesn’t want to talk to rejects like us, I see.
—This little [bleep] (message deleted).
Of course, I’m not actually feeling shy.
‘That’s what I say. What are you gonna do about it?’
I don’t have much fondness for Da-eun’s viewers, who constantly badger her about trivial things.
Not that I hate them outright, but there’s no reason to do as they wish.
“…I’m too shy to say more.”
—So shameless, lol
—I believe it. You’re definitely the streamer’s relative
—Wait, wasn’t this a budding innocent character? Why does it feel rotten?
—Honestly, you’d do great at streaming.
—Yeah, let’s just have the sibling take over the streamer’s channel from now on.
Ah, so this is the vibe.
It’s that back-and-forth banter where everyone teases and gets teased.
The earlier chaos aside, I think I could get used to this kind of atmosphere.
Leaning back in my chair, I watched as Da-eun continued with her stream.
