Ending Maker Episode 407
Chapter 4 – Chat Room #2
Seven o’clock in the morning.
After waking up at five and tossing and turning in bed for two hours, Kowabunga finally gave up on sleeping any longer.
Because I couldn’t sleep even though I wanted to.
“Wow… … .”
What should I say?
Should I say that I’m nervous and excited at the same time?
This complicated feeling, like a strange tension added to the excitement right before going on a picnic.
“I’m dying.”
Not only did I wake up early, I couldn’t sleep at all.
I stayed up all night and finally fell asleep at around 3 or 4 o’clock, so in reality I only slept for about an hour.
Why is it like this?
Was it really Kowabunga himself who was so interested in Abok and Nobok?
‘No.’
I wasn’t this nervous during the first meeting that was blown up.
Why is that?
Why am I especially nervous about this meeting?
‘Could it be that my superpower has developed into the power of foresight?’
So maybe it’s reading the future and sending some kind of signal?
‘I guess I couldn’t sleep.’
I see the delusions gaining momentum.
After stopping the nonsense in his head, Kowabunga took a hot shower and sat down in front of the computer.
There was still a long way to go until the 2:00 PM appointment time, so I thought about doing some work, but it was too much.
After fiddling with his tablet for about 5 minutes, Kowabunga turned on Discord.
It was to see the chat room members who were just as nervous as he was.
“None.”
But it wasn’t there.
It was early, but there were still a couple of people – especially AAA, who was always online, but now there was no one.
Are you sleeping in late because it’s the weekend?
‘Come to think of it, I’ve never logged on at this time on the weekend either.’
Because I was always busy sleeping soundly.
‘It’s not even in the biographies of heroes.’
I tried logging in just in case, but as expected, no one was there.
Kowabunga briefly considered posting something stupid in the group chat, but stopped right before pressing the send button.
It was because everyone was calm but he seemed to be the only one getting anxious.
‘Okay, let’s relax.’
I just see the same kids I used to see online every day now that I’m offline.
That’s all there is to it.
After taking a deep breath, Kowabunga sat cross-legged and calmed his breathing.
And five hours later.
“You’re late.”
One and ten minutes past one in the afternoon.
Kowabunga, who happened to arrive at the meeting place an hour early, sat alone in the cafe, chewing on a straw and looking at his phone.
Perhaps because it had only been an hour, there were no messages in the group chat other than Kowabunga’s bored ramblings and the usual morning greetings.
“Ugh.”
What should I say?
Should I say that it feels a bit unfair?
Some people arrive an hour early and feel anxious, but everyone else is calm.
Doesn’t this make you seem like the only one who’s excited?
‘Is it more about anticipation than excitement? Anyway, oh really. It’s all because of that dream.’
A dream I had two days ago, not last night.
A truly absurd fantasy that occurred to me by chance while thinking about the second meeting that had finally come to fruition.
I wonder if AAA isn’t a pervert uncle who is obsessed with sex, but a cheerful and naughty pervert older sister who is obsessed with sex.
‘I’m crazy, I’m crazy.’
How can I dream like that?
I couldn’t tell anyone that I had a dream where AAA appeared as a naughty older sister.
It was a story that made me feel ashamed even when I thought about it myself.
‘Okay, let’s calm down. Let’s come to our senses.’
AAA.
What kind of person is that person?
Aren’t you a 10-deok who sends pornographic videos to Deco when you’re bored?
Besides, it wasn’t just any ten virtues.
He was an old-fashioned person who loved dad jokes more than anyone else.
To begin with, the nickname AAA is something that could have been used in the 20th century.
Kowabunga closed his eyes for a moment and recalled what had happened with AAA.
This happened just a few days ago.
[AAA: You, you. Do you know what happens when a duck freezes?]
[Kowabunga: What is it?]
[AAA: Hill.]
[AAA: Haha …
[AAA: Do you know where spacemen drink?]
[Kowabunga: … … What is it?]
[AAA: Spacebar.]
[AAA: Haha …
[Kowabunga: Oh, shit. Just get out of here.]
[AAA: You seem like a dishonest guy.]
hill.
Space bar.
These were gags that made my heart grow cold even when I thought about them again.
‘Yeah, that’s the kind of guy AAA is.’
Besides, I didn’t only like dad jokes.
How much do you like dirty jokes?
A cheerful, sip-deok older sister who enjoys dirty jokes, dad jokes, and dirty pictures.
‘Oh, shit. Why did you suddenly say ‘noona’ at the end?’
But once the delusion started, it started to follow one after another.
Furthermore, Kowabunga’s occupation was an illustrator – an illustrator specializing in the so-called otaku genre.
Kowabunga, who naturally thought of the female version of AAA in his head, thought to himself without realizing it.
‘Oh, is that okay? Remember the design – no, no. I can’t give up my own dignity.’
Be human.
No matter what happens online, aren’t you a respectable member of society offline?
After calming himself down with deep breathing, Kowabunga began to imagine something a little more wholesome.
I’m talking about imaginations about the Namban cat or the Nobok.
And about forty minutes later.
Kowabunga said as he encountered Kim Hye-eun, a cat from Namman, who arrived ten minutes earlier than the appointed time, as befitting a desirable member of society.
“Well, as expected.”
“This comment somehow makes me angry.”
Kim Hye-eun.
Namban cat.
27 years old.
An ordinary, pretty woman in her mid-20s who wears clothes that are not overly decorated, but still show her fashion sense.
She has the typical impression of an older sister or eldest sister who seems to take good care of others.
“Hey, you’re doing that just as I expected, right?”
Kowabunga snorted at Kim Hye-eun’s words, but in fact, Kim Hye-eun didn’t just say those words.
In fact, Kowabunga’s current coordination is quite flashy.
The hair that should have been called ‘short hair’ was actually pink, and the clothes she was wearing were not particularly expensive or from a famous brand, but they matched Kowabunga’s body type very well.
Of average height and slim build.
Long, thin fingers.
A man in his mid-20s with a rather cute and handsome face, but an otaku vibe that cannot be hidden from his eyes and aura.
And in fact, it was easy to imagine that Kowabunga, whose real occupation was practically revealed thanks to the fan art and memes of Heroes that he often uploaded, was actually a public figure.
“Are you alone? Where’s Nobok?”
Kim Hye-eun shrugged her shoulders and answered Kowabunga’s question.
“I’ll come with Abok.”
“As expected. As expected.”
Are the two of them lovers living a life close to cohabitation?
Instead of saying anything to Kowabunga’s reasoning, Kim Hye-eun just sucked on the straw.
And then another minute, no, maybe two minutes passed.
“Sister~”
Kowabunga and Kim Hye-eun turned their gazes at the same time to the refreshing, lively, yet familiar voice.
Yellow storm.
A YouTuber who has now become quite famous thanks to ‘Tanya Nunna’s Selling Special’ which has surpassed one million views.
That’s why he’s the eternal runner-up in Heroes Chronicle 2, whose voice I’m familiar with.
Nobok-Hong Yu-hee appeared waving her hand and Kowabunga opened her eyes wide.
A small person who is probably just under 160 cm tall, with a cute and pretty face that gives her a cat-like feel, and a well-balanced body that makes up for her small stature.
To be honest, it was exactly as I expected, but it was so much prettier and cuter than I had imagined that I lost my mind for a moment.
And Kim Hye-eun smiled brightly at this reaction from Kowabunga.
In fact, it was none other than Kim Hye-eun who created the Hong Yu-hee of today.
‘The background is good, but it’s not decorated at all.’
But not anymore.
As is often the case with girls who are in love, Hong Yu-hee, who would shine even if left alone, worked hard to decorate herself.
“That, that nose… … Bungah?”
When Hong Yu-hee, sitting next to Kim Hye-eun, asked cautiously, Kowabunga nodded, blushing without realizing it.
“Uh, yeah. Uh. My nose… … is a bunga.”
I’m embarrassed.
I suddenly feel embarrassed.
Why did I choose the nickname Kowabunga?
But it wasn’t just Kowabunga who felt embarrassed.
“Uh, uh. Uh, I. Uh… … You know? Yellow… … Storm.”
“Oh, oh. It’s a bluff.”
I would like to make a statement.
I just want to call you by your name, not your nickname.
Although the two felt a strong desire, in the end neither of them could bring themselves to propose a joint statement, instead just writhing in shame.
And Kim Hye-eun, who was snickering while looking at the two, put her arm around Hong Yu-hee’s shoulder and asked.
“What about Abok?”
“My brother said he had something to do and was going to stop by. He’ll be back soon.”
When Hong Yu-hee said this with a hehehe laugh, Kim Hye-eun smiled bitterly and looked back at Kowabunga, and Kowabunga nodded.
Brother.
And Hong Yu-hee laughs, saying, “Oppa.”
‘That’s what it’s like between the two of you. You guessed it, right?’
‘I guessed it.’
‘Do you think you know why I didn’t actively pursue the meeting?’
‘Oh, I think I get it.’
Even if there is only one Nobok, it is like this, but what if Abok is added to it?
What if the salting power was much stronger than it is now?
Kowabunga exchanged glances with Kim Hye-eun and let out a hollow laugh, but it only lasted for a moment.
Anyway, my curiosity about Abok grew.
‘First of all, seeing as he’s my brother, I can tell he’s a man.’
What kind of guy is he?
What kind of man would die for such a cute girl, the ideal of gamers?
“But AAA hasn’t come yet?”
“Oh, not yet. Come to think of it, Kowabunga, you’ve never seen AAA either, right?”
“doesn’t exist.”
But, perhaps because we had been chatting together in the chat room for several years, when we actually started talking, the stories came out naturally as if we were old friends.
“Kowabunga is exactly as expected, but I honestly have no idea what AAA will be like.”
“What… … Maybe he’s just an old man?”
Kowabunga nodded without realizing it at Kim Hye-eun’s answer.
I waited alone and fantasized about all sorts of things, but honestly, the most likely possibility was that he was just an old man.
‘In the first place, the fact that Nam Man and No Bok are women is strange considering the gender ratio of Heroes Chronicles 2.’
It’s strange that there are two women in a chat room with five people, but three?
The gender ratio in Heroes Chronicles 2 was around 9:1, so it was unrealistic.
Moreover, isn’t it AAA?
An old-fashioned nerd who likes dad jokes, pervert jokes, and classic works.
“But what if you don’t know? Like a cheerful older sister.”
“Well… there’s no way to say no, right?”
“No, that can’t be.”
In order, they were Hong Yu-hee, Kim Hye-eun, and Kowabunga.
In the case of Kowabunga, unlike the previous two, he was gradually regaining a sense of reality.
“Anyway, you should come quickly. It’s already past our appointment time.”
As Hong Yu-hee had said, it was about five minutes past the two o’clock appointed time.
Let’s leave aside the fact that Abok is a little late, but what happened to AAA?
“Isn’t there anything posted in the group chat?”
“wait for a sec-.”
It was the moment when Kowabunga lifted his cell phone.
“Nobok? With Namman?”
Kowabunga, who flinched involuntarily at the heavy and rough voice heard from behind, quickly turned around and flinched again.
A huge height, exceeding 190 cm and approaching 2 meters.
No, he’s not just tall, he’s a big guy with shoulders as wide as the Pacific Ocean and crazy upper arms reminiscent of Ma Dong-seok.
A man in his mid-30s with a short beard visible beneath his cropped hair.
A white shirt without a tie, a black suit, and a gold necklace.
A face that makes you look like you have to lower your head as soon as you make eye contact.
“uh…….”
When I couldn’t even say AAA and just mumbled, the big guy laughed and said.
“Oh, is it Kowabunga?”
“Uh, uh, yes. No, uh… … uh.”
Is this polite or informal?
The frozen nose and mouth spoke awkwardly, and Kim Hye-eun couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the nose and mouth.
Kim Hye-eun also flinched and cowered.
“Hey, relax. Relax. Who’s eating you?”
AAA laughed heartily and slapped Kowabunga on the back, but the force was truly extraordinary.
Every time Kowabunga got hit on the back, he would make a gasping sound.
‘It’s unexpected.’
It’s unexpected.
Will I be able to act without feeling awkward at today’s gathering?
Will the chat room meetings continue after today?
It was when Kowabunga had that thought.
“Phew. Huff. Phew. Phew.”
Kowabunga suddenly came to his senses at the sound of breathless laughter coming from behind him and activated his superpower.
A man patting himself on the back.
he is-
‘Isn’t it AAA?!’
“Oh, really. Boss. What should I do when you try to fool me first and then laugh like that?”
At AAA’s words, Kowabunga opened her eyes wide, and so did Kim Hye-eun and Hong Yu-hee.
And the main character of the laughter.
A woman wearing revealing black clothes who had been sitting nearby for a while got up from her seat, laughing out loud.
A woman with a aged appearance, with her black hair tied up high, wearing a black mask, and smoky makeup, which is not commonly seen these days.
She patted the giant’s shoulder and said, her clothes looking very strong thanks to the leather boots and chain decorations.
“This is enough, so you can go in now.”
“Please stop calling me for things like this.”
The man who had been complaining stood up from his seat and winked at the still frozen group as he spoke.
“Then have fun.”
The man turned around with a friendly smile and left the cafe, and Kim Hye-eun and Hong Yu-hee thought.
What on earth does that guy do?
What does this have to do with AAA?
“Ah, AAA.”
When Kim Hye-eun suddenly came to her senses and raised her head, AAA burst into laughter and sat down next to Kowabunga as he spoke.
“AAA. Are you all surprised?”
Maybe in my late 20s?
Hong Yu-hee blinked her big eyes at the cheerful voice that seemed to be the opposite of her impression of Se-Boy, and AAA laughed as if he found that cute, then pinched Hong Yu-hee’s cheek and said.
“Yes, Sister. Sister. Our Nobok is exactly as you expected. Is it Namman over there?”
“Uh huh.”
AAA laughed again at Kim Hye-eun’s answer and took off his mask.
A beauty who smiles cheerfully but somehow gives off a scary vibe.
She said this while poking the cheek of Kowabunga, who was sitting right next to her.
“You, you. What’s wrong? Didn’t you ever imagine that I was a woman?”
No, I imagined it.
Actually, it looks exactly like what I’ve been imagining these past few days.
Instead of continuing to babble, Kowabunga activated his superpower targeting AAA’s fingers that were poking his cheek.
AAA.
Her real name is Yoo Ga-young.
Owner of an internet adult goods shop.
and-
‘Hmm, it’s cuter than I thought? Maybe it’s my style?’
Kowabunga flinched once again after reading AAA’s inner thoughts.
In fact, if you look at just the appearance, Kowabunga also really liked AAA.
A cheerful and naughty Sipdeok Noona.
Isn’t that exactly Kowabunga’s ideal type?
But it was at that very moment.
“Oh, it’s you, oppa.”
At Hong Yu-hee’s words, Kowabunga and AAA simultaneously jumped up from their seats and looked back.
And before I knew it, I let out an exclamation.
‘What the fuck.’
A man walking briskly over there.
A very, very handsome man who looks to be in his mid to late 180s.
Besides, his body wasn’t in great shape either.
If the man AAA brought was a bundle of muscles, then the man walking by now was a man with a fit body who even other men would consider to be handsome.
In short, a super super alpha male.
He is the epitome of a carnivore, the kind of man who would make people look at him even if he just walked around wearing slippers.
‘Hey, is that abok?’
That cool guy- no, that kid who even did the butt dance to tease Noh-bok?
I had expected him to be a cool guy, but this was beyond my expectations.
Could it be that he’s a body double, like the guy AAA first brought in?
“Kowabunga and AAA?”
Abok, who had suddenly come up to their noses – Kowabunga and AAA nodded reflexively at Kang Jin-ho’s words, and Kang Jin-ho smiled brightly and reached out his hand to AAA first.
“This is Outboxer 009. My real name is Kang Jin-ho.”
“Uh huh. AAA… … No, it’s Yoo Ga-young… ….”
AAA, who was overwhelmed by the super alpha male’s spirit, shook hands with him while speaking politely without realizing it, and Kang Jin-ho smiled again and this time extended his hand towards Kowabunga.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Uh… … yes.”
Just like AAA, Kowabunga, who was speaking politely, smiled awkwardly and grabbed Kang Jin-ho’s hand, reflexively activating his superpower.
and-
“to?”
Information conveyed through psychometry.
Those things were beyond imagination, and Kowabunga’s stupid face turned into a round, stupid look.
