Ending Maker Episode 405
Chapter 3 – Double Team #5
“Sprinkler? What does that mean?”
After Yuder regained his composure after shouting, “Help me, Alexei!” three times, he tilted his head as if he was hearing the word “sprinkler” for the first time in his life and asked.
‘Keep calm, keep calm, Yuder. Don’t forget the given conditions when you are pushed by the situation.’
Since coming to Earth, Yuder felt like the words he was saying to himself were Alexei’s words.
Alexei’s words.
Don’t forget the given conditions.
Kang Jin-ho said there was no evidence for his inference.
Although it was a sharp stab at the truth, it was ultimately nothing more than a flimsy claim made based on personal experience.
So, you shouldn’t be alarmed here.
It is also a bad idea to flinch and deny it.
‘I just have to pretend I don’t know.’
But it is also a bad idea to pretend you don’t know at all.
It was right after I told Kang Jin-ho that I had been watching the two of them.
“Oh, are you talking about that thing that sprays water from the ceiling? Since you said underground parking lot, that’s the only thing that comes to mind.”
It was a new story, but Yuder’s acting was good.
The way he spoke as if he had a feeling what he was talking about was really amazing.
“Are you really just watching?”
In a situation where information was extremely scarce, Kang Jin-ho had few options to choose from.
Because of that, Kang Jin-ho had no choice but to continue to attack, and Yuder spoke with a clear expression like when he faced the fairies.
“I just watched from afar. In fact, it was fun just watching. I didn’t know that the first and second place winners lived next door to each other, but when I found out, I instantly became lovers.”
At Yuder’s words, Kang Jin-ho bit his lips slightly and straightened his expression.
Because it was an embarrassing story one way or another.
And at the same time he thought.
‘You’re lying.’
The expression is so clear.
Although he had only just met Yuder, Kang Jin-ho could tell.
No, I had a gut feeling.
That guy is joking right now.
That clear face is the proof.
But in the end, it was a matter of personal opinion.
And Uther thought too.
‘You’ve caught the eye.’
Uther realized that he was lying.
But Uder was not flustered.
Because he was Kang Jin-ho, and he could guess what Kang Jin-ho was thinking right now.
‘There is no evidence, so we can only stop here.’
Because there is no way to confirm that it is a lie.
Yuder smiled darkly inside, and Kang Jin-ho remained silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
“So, you saw Natasha appear while you were observing us, and you felt like she was hiding something, so you observed her separately and took care of Natasha’s business?”
Although Yuder was inwardly startled by the questioning that wasn’t really an inquiry, he didn’t show any sign of agitation this time either.
Rather, he brought out the truth as if this was the opportunity.
“That’s what happened. For some reason… I felt like I was seeing Maia.”
Maya Tantalot.
Natasha of Uther.
A sister, a friend, and a mother.
A woman who was like the world itself to Yuder during his childhood.
Kang Jin-ho also knew about Maia.
A female character who plays a more important role in Uther’s story than Cordelia – or sometimes even more important than Cordelia.
Kang Jin-ho, who had never told anyone, had once shed tears while watching the event of Maia dying in Uder’s arms.
Is that why?
Or is there something more to it?
Kang Jin-ho felt like he didn’t want to spit anymore at Yuder’s words that he saw Maia in Natasha.
At the same time, something much more important came to mind.
“thanks.”
“uh?”
“Natasha’s case. Come to think of it, I should have thanked you first for helping… no, saving Natasha, but it seems too late. Please forgive me.”
What would have happened to Natasha if Uther and Cordelia hadn’t come forward?
Kang Jin-ho was someone whose eyes darkened just thinking about him.
Yuder smiled brightly at Kang Jin-ho’s sincere gratitude and then said after some thought.
“Then be nice to Natasha. To you, she’s… … like Maia.”
“… … Okay, I understand.”
The two, who had exchanged warm conversation and glances, coughed in vain as if they were embarrassed again, and took steps forward at the same time as if they had made a promise.
* * *
“Youtuber?”
“Yes, yes, YouTuber.”
Hong Yu-hee and Kang Jin-ho work together, and sometimes Natasha also helps out.
“What is a YouTuber?”
Are you like a YouTuber friend?
When Cordelia tilted her head and asked, Hong Yu-hee laughed and said while turning on the laptop.
“It’s a job that involves broadcasting over the Internet. Oh, what is the Internet?”
“The Internet knows. It knows about YouTubers who broadcast on the Internet? BJs? That kind of stuff.”
“Oh, that would be easier to explain. A virtual YouTuber is a person who broadcasts using a 2D or 3D character. I provide the voice.”
“Uh… … Like a cartoon character… … Like a voice actor?”
“Yes, yes, you know the cartoon and the voice actor. Oh, this is it, my virtual YouTuber character.”
As Hong Yu-hee clicked the mouse, a pretty female character appeared on the laptop screen.
“Uh, me?”
“Hehehe… … It’s a little different because of copyright issues, but my sister is the model.”
As Hong Yu-hee said, she had a slightly different appearance from Cordelia in Heroes Chronicle 2, but that different appearance was because she had pink hair, making her a character who looked even more like the current Cordelia.
“If I capture my movements with my phone camera, the character moves in real time following my movements. That’s what I broadcast.”
“oh my god.”
Is it possible that this world has become possible in just two years?
Hong Yu-hee, who was very excited by Cordelia’s surprised appearance, continued talking while replaying past broadcasts.
“I communicate with viewers while playing games like this… … My brother manages the chat room. He usually does all the filming and program-related work.”
It was really amazing how the Cordelia character blinked and tilted her head while broadcasting on the screen, and how her facial expressions naturally changed depending on the game’s progress.
“Then what about Natasha? Is Natasha a YouTuber too?”
At Cordelia’s question, Natasha flinched and hardened her expression, and Hong Yu-hee laughed heartily and said.
“That’s right, it’s the concept of a strong older sister that appears occasionally on my broadcast, and when she appears, the viewers all really like it. When Natasha unnie makes a bad comment, the comments pour in like crazy.”
“Are you selling me?”
When Cordelia blinked and asked again, Hong Yu-hee nodded excitedly, and Natasha bit her lip as if she wanted to dip her nose in the water on the plate.
Of course, his face turned bright red.
“This is Natasha’s character.”
“Wow, they look alike.”
A beautiful character with blue eyes and platinum blonde hair.
Her good body and sharp eyes reminded me of Natasha.
“This is Natasha’s special sale.”
When Hong Yu-hee played the video that had over a million views, Natasha covered her face with both hands, and Cordelia could understand why.
It was so cute and embarrassing to see Natasha’s character stutter and blurt out her lines with a red face.
“Natasha, you say you don’t like my traits, but in the end, you do whatever I ask you to do.”
“Yeah, I’ll give you money. Money is precious.”
Hong Yu-hee laughed at Natasha’s protest and said with a pleased face.
“He’s an excellent employee. Even you can see it, right?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
[Natasha, you’re adjusting well to Korea.]
Immediately after answering Hong Yu-hee, Cordelia sent a message magic with moist eyes, and Natasha’s face turned even redder.
“So are you going to broadcast the Heroes Chronicle with this?”
“I do play Heroes of the Storm, but… … I play other games more these days.”
“Huh? Then what’s the ranking?”
“Uh… … Since two months ago, my brother and I both retired from 1st and 2nd place. Now, we’re just named users?”
“Really?”
When Cordelia asked in surprise, Hong Yu-hee nodded and then suddenly wiggled her fingers and said.
“Now that I think about it… I don’t think there’s any reason for me to compete with you for first and second place. I’ve won many times on other occasions.”
I won a lot on the other side.
What on earth did I win?
Anyway, it was quite a shocking story, but also a convincing one.
Cordelia herself still competed with Uther on many occasions, but after winning a few times, her attitude toward competition and her feelings about the results changed quite a bit.
“Oh, that’s right, Sister. I made those goods too.”
“Goods?”
“It’s YouTuber goods. Natasha’s goods are also selling really well.”
“Please.”
The last voice was Natasha, and she was already in a groggy state.
But Hong Yu-hee, who couldn’t hear her frail voice properly, grabbed Cordelia’s hand as if telling her to go see her quickly.
“Natasha’s sister uses one of the spare rooms in her house as a storage room. It’s over here.”
Cordelia blinked blankly at the scenery unfolding beyond the open door.
It wasn’t because there were more authentic products than I had expected.
Hong Yu-hee’s virtual YouTuber character was in fact Cordelia, so all the goods in front of her were in fact Cordelia’s goods.
“Hehehe.”
Hong Yu-hee looked at Cordelia with an expression on her face like a child bragging about her school grades, and Cordelia looked at the goods with determination even though she felt like she was going crazy.
In fact, things like cups, bromides, and even life-size figures weren’t particularly shocking since Cordelia was already something we had seen a lot of in the Eudellia Holy Nation.
The ones that really hit the mark were-
“uh…….”
Isn’t this it?
That, chest mouse pad.
“Oh, no! This is for my collection. It’s not for sale.”
Hong Yu-hee spoke urgently, but Cordelia felt doubtful again.
No, why would you make something like that?
And figures.
It’s literally full of original figures that have never been released before.
“No, well, once you have money, you start wanting more things… … Hehehe.”
When Hong Yu-hee spoke, twisting her body as if embarrassed, Cordelia thought that she was really cute, but at the same time felt an embarrassment that couldn’t even be compared to what she had felt before.
‘Me, why did I like myself so much?’
Seeing Hong Yu-hee, who couldn’t live without Cordelia, reminded me of my past self.
Cordelia.
Based on Hong Yu-hee, it’s her previous life.
Kang Jin-ho only enjoyed using Yuder and never showed any particular fandom.
But Hong Yu-hee was different.
As you can see now, it was at the level of a sasaeng fan.
Why was that so?
Is this what narcissism is?
Come to think of it, Cordelia herself was finding Hong Yu-hee very cute right now.
‘Is this true?’
Was it really narcissism?
If Yuder finds out about this, won’t he really tease me like crazy?
But that was just then.
KakaoTalk!
Cordelia and Hong Yu-hee looked at each other, startled by the sudden sound, and Hong Yu-hee reflexively took out her cell phone.
And a message appeared on the phone screen.
[So, are we really meeting up this time?]
It was a message from one of the chatroom members – Kowabunga.
