Ending Maker Episode 406
Chapter 4 – Chat Room
Nose and nose.
26 years old, male.
Illustrator.
He posted a message in the group chat and stared at his phone screen with serious eyes, arms crossed.
[Kowabunga: So, are we really meeting this time?]
[AAA: Can I do it?]
[Namman Cat: Because I decided to do it.]
Although there were positive responses from AAA and Namman Cat, Kowabunga did not let up on his gaze as he stared at the screen.
Because the two most important people remained silent.
Outboxer 009 and Yellow Storm.
Two people who had a private meeting at the last gathering that was blown up by an unexpected incident.
Kowabunga tapped his upper arm with his finger and waited for an answer, and after waiting for about three minutes, he was able to get an answer.
[Yellow Storm: Okay, let’s do it.]
[Outboxer009: Yeah]
Two people’s answers.
Kowabunga narrowed his eyes at the almost nonstop answer.
“As expected, it’s suspicious.”
It’s suspicious.
No matter how I think about it, it’s suspicious.
As expected, the two of them were already lovers.
And since they live so close together – like next door, for example – isn’t it almost like living together?
Aren’t we still together now?
[Kowabunga: Okay, then let’s meet at Jeongmo.]
Kowabunga left a final comment as if he were stamping a contract, put down his phone, and took a deep breath.
It’s already been about five months since the last meeting was blown up.
Normally, if a meeting is broken up due to an unexpected situation, and thus the meeting cannot actually take place, a second meeting should be planned.
It was an ambitious plan, planned with the slogan, “Let’s meet for the first time in years, not just a simple get-together!”
But the reality was different.
It was because the members – or to be more precise, certain members – responded less than expected.
“Aboki and Noboki.”
The two people who met at the only bombed out gathering showed a lukewarm reaction at first.
What should I say, should I say something like, ‘I’ve already eaten all the delicious parts, do I really need to eat more?’
The atmosphere was that they were satisfied since they saw each other.
In fact, Kowabunga also agreed to some extent.
From the beginning, what caught the attention of the chat room members, including Kowabunga, the most was the meeting between Outboxer009 and Yellow Storm.
“Namman is also suspicious there.”
Namban cat.
Another buddy of Yellow Storm.
A person who acts as a de facto leader among the chatroom members – or more precisely, as a mediator and a man of common sense.
So, if things were as they were, it would have been normal for the leader, Namman Cat, to have actively planned the second meeting.
But the Namman cat also showed a withered reaction.
“I saw it. The Namman cat must have seen the two of you too.”
Is this perhaps how it happened?
Aboki and Noboki, who had been having a private gathering, develop feelings for each other, and Noboki, who had been like a servant, wants to dress up to look good to Aboki.
But, oh no.
Since she was a lazy person who usually wore only a hoodie and jeans, she didn’t know how to dress up… … In the end, Nobok sent an SOS to her close friend, Namman Cat.
‘Nobok was revealed to be a woman thanks to a YouTuber… … and Namman is clearly a woman to anyone who looks at her.’
If the Southern Cat is actually a man, that would be a historic plot twist.
Anyway, Namman Cat accepted Noboki’s request for rescue.
She takes Nobok to Hongdae… …and there she finds Abok, who happened to be passing by.
“Yes, that’s why I got to see Abok. I saw Nobok being embarrassed in front of Abok, and I saw Abok being embarrassed as well. Maybe Nobok saw Tanya Noona appearing on TV.”
Anyway, Nam Man-i, who had already guessed the situation when he received Nobok’s SOS, narrowed his eyes and kept saying ‘Heuheueng, heuheueng’, and Nobok and Abok-i writhed in embarrassment even more.
“Nam-man, who saw No-bok and A-bok and found out that they were dating, lost his desire to go to Jeongmo.”
Because we’ve already eaten the whole cake called Jeongmo.
‘Those annoying guys… … .’
They’re just having fun among themselves.
They say they’re having fun among themselves and are leaving you out.
But that was just then.
[AAA: Why are you so obsessed with gatherings, my lord?]
When AAA’s message flew in through Discord, Kowabunga quickly placed his hands on the keyboard.
[Kowabunga: No, it’s annoying. If they saw each other, that’s all?]
[AAA: That’s a bit like that.]
[Kowabunga: We also have the right to tease Nobok and Aboki in reality after seeing them.]
[AAA: I don’t know about that, but I’m curious.]
[AAA: But now that you mention it, I’m really curious. I think Nobok is even more curious just by hearing the voice.]
[Kowabunga: Judging by her voice, she’s probably a cute and lively girl around 160cm tall.]
[AAA: I don’t know how to know that just by hearing the voice, but it sounds plausible.]
[Kowabunga: It’s Abok-ee that’s the problem, Abok-ee. The fact that the two of them stopped competing for rankings together, and the fact that Nobok-ee suddenly debuted as a YouTuber, no matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.]
[AAA: They’re probably just dating… … I wonder what kind of couple they’ll be. Maybe it’ll be a combination of the pretty girl Nobok and the pretty girl Ah Bok?]
[Kowabunga: What is a tea girl? A tea girl. The age is revealed here.]
[AAA: It’s a bit much since we’re growing old together. Anyway, it looks like we’re really meeting this time, so let’s meet then.]
[Kowabunga: Okay, let’s see then.]
After finishing his usual conversation, Kowabunga put his hands on the keyboard for a moment and fell into thought.
‘Actually, it’s not just Nobok and Abok that are curious.’
Noh Bok-i, who revealed herself to be a woman through her YouTuber debut.
Although she was a tea girl, it was clear from the circumstances that she was a man.
Only Namman, who has a 99% chance of being a woman based on circumstantial evidence.
Of course, everyone was curious because other than gender, it was still a mystery.
In fact, the main reason for having the meeting was ‘I wanted to see Nobok and Aboki dating in real life.’
But it wasn’t just the two of them.
‘I’m curious about AAA too.’
If Abok had Nobok, Kowabunga had AAA.
Of course, our relationships were different, but anyway, among the members of the chat room, the one who got along the best was AAA.
‘I’m really curious, you know.’
He looks like a pervert uncle in the game, but what is he like in real life?
Actually, if you get to know her, she might just be a cheerful older sister who enjoys trash talking.
‘Even I think it’s just a delusion of the ten virtues.’
It seems that Abok and Nobok were greatly affected by the incident.
AAA is a girl.
That can’t be true.
‘Nam Man-i just feels like she’s really ordinary.’
My occupation might be something like a web designer.
“Well… … I guess I’ll find out more when I meet you in person.”
Kowabunga muttered softly and looked at his right hand, which was lightly raised.
Actually, there was a secret that Kowabunga had kept hidden from everyone, even though he had never told anyone before.
Psychometry.
The supernatural ability to read memories or sensations through touch.
That’s right.
Kowabunga was actually a person with superpowers.
* * *
[No, what kind of nonsense is this?]
Kowabunga has superpowers?
At Cordelia’s words of absurdity, Uther shook his head and said.
[Excuse me, we’ve just traveled between worlds using magic, right? You’re an archangel in heaven?]
[Oh, no. That’s true, though.]
In fact, it was a more absurd story about an archangel in the sky or a demigod who protected the Pleiades than a superpowered idiot(?), but still, that was that and this was this.
[Oh, that’s so out of the blue!]
A person with superpowers.
Kowabunga has superpowers.
Do superpowers really exist in this world?
[Hey, let me say this again, you’re a wizard, right? And there are wizards in this world too. Unlike the Pleiades, they’re hidden.]
[What? Really? The Knights Templar really existed? And the Assassins?]
[I don’t know what game this is about, but… … Anyway, there are wizards who exist in the form of secret societies. There are also people with superpowers.]
[Then what about Captain America?]
[If it’s a super soldier… … I did fight once during my time as a mercenary.]
“what?!”
The Pleiades weren’t just fantasy?
[So, is this a modern fantasy or something?]
[I don’t know what you’ve been saying since a while ago… … In any case, there’s a high possibility that Kowabunga has superpowers. I haven’t confirmed what kind of superpower it is, but it seems like he has ESP.]
This was something I learned when I was conducting some manipulation activities to manipulate the first meeting into a meeting between only Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee.
Cordelia blinked as if still bewildered by Uther’s words and continued her message magic.
[Then what about AAA? What does he have? No, first of all, what does he do?]
[That’s a secret.]
[what?]
[Secret. How about leaving it as a fun thing until the day of the meeting?]
[You know.]
[I know.]
[Mr. Woo. It’s been a while since I’ve felt like hitting you.]
[Hit me as much as you want. I’ll hit you sweetly.]
Because it didn’t hurt at all anyway.
As Uther continued to babble and joke, Cordelia slapped his arm a few times in vain, as if she was dying of hatred.
And same time, same place.
Natasha felt deep irritation and emptiness, and even a slight sense of deprivation at the sight of Uder and Cordelia suddenly starting to flirt, just looking at each other without saying a word as if they knew what each other was saying just by looking at each other’s eyes. She spoke with cold eyes that reminded her of the cold air of the Siberian plains.
“Anyway, can you please take care of this as well?”
A story about how Yuder and Cordelia could be the same person as Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee.
Since Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee were sent away, only Yuder, Cordelia, and Natasha, the landlady, were left at Natasha’s house.
Yuder and Cordelia laughed awkwardly at Natasha’s face, which had a very twisted expression with her chin hanging down, and soon Cordelia spoke first.
“Okay, so what happened here is… … .”
And the long stories that followed.
Cordelia was about to tell the story that would have taken up 17 volumes of the original novel, but fortunately, thanks to Uther’s intervention, she was able to convey the situation in a proper summary.
The Pleiades, trampled by heaven and hell.
Even after several regressions, Uder was unable to save Pleiades and Cordelia.
The decision made by the young god Atalia as she was heading towards complete destruction.
And that’s what happened.
“So… … we were finally able to return… … and the Pleiades had a happy ending.”
After Cordelia’s story ended, Natasha closed her eyes for a moment and caught her breath.
Because, frankly, it was a story that was hard to believe.
But Natasha was also someone who had been educated by Alexei.
I knew full well that it was pointless to deny reality when Uther and Cordelia were already in front of me.
‘Of course, the existence of Uther and Cordelia does not necessarily prove the truth of that story… … .’
I also felt that this was a groundless suspicion.
Because it was Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee.
Because it seemed unlikely that Uther and Cordelia would continue to lie to him.
Natasha, who had taken the two people’s story to heart, slightly slumped her shoulders and spoke with a faint smile.
“I’d like to meet Maia sometime.”
Natasha of Uther.
A woman who performed a role similar to that of the Pleiades.
“She’s really kind and really pretty.”
Natasha smiled at Cordelia’s compliment and looked at Yuder, and smiled again at Yuder’s cheeks that were slightly flushed, perhaps out of shyness.
“Yes, I also want to say thank you for taking good care of our Gino.”
I’m also curious to know if Maia, like you, experienced the pain of being dumped before even confessing her love.
‘Maybe we can share the pain of shared suffering?’
Of course, Maia may not have had such feelings for Uther.
Anyway, I really wanted to meet you sometime.
Of course, with Maia, and with Dahlia and Count Chase.
“Anyway, let’s stop talking here for today. Do you want to sleep at my house?”
“Um… … That’s okay, but I want to go to a hotel.”
Anyway, since you are an uninvited guest, you might feel uncomfortable.
Cordelia had said it with Natasha in mind, but Natasha seemed to have misunderstood, so she made a rather complicated expression and nodded.
“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow, Natasha. Happy birthday again.”
Natasha nodded at Yuder’s sincere voice and stood up.
And about twenty minutes later.
As Cordelia entered the hotel room, she suddenly started to act cute and hugged Yuder’s arm tightly.
“Over there, over there. It’s Yuder.”
“No, no. It’s a secret until the meeting day.”
Stories about Kowabunga and AAA.
Cordelia pouted her lips at the firm answer, but it was impossible.
It was Uther who felt that Cordelia, who was pretending to be upset like this, was the cutest and most lovable thing in the world.
“Anyway, are you looking forward to the meeting?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m really looking forward to it.”
Not only was the identity of Kowabunga and AAA unknown, but the appearance of all the chatroom members gathered in one place was also amazing.
“Then shall I wash up and go to bed?”
“Okay, then. Should we wash together?”
In response to Cordelia’s slightly shy question, Uder responded with a subtle smile and began to take action.
And two days later in the afternoon.
The second meeting of chat room members has begun.
