“No, what is this…?”
The chat window was ablaze with comments.
-PulledOutAMountain: Holy shit lololol
-IDontCare: Whoa, this is seriously lolololol
-NoSwearing: He’s really going ‘Heave-ho!’ Is he crazy lololol
-MomLooksLikeAWoman: Wow, this is seriously hot.
‘What’s with that last bastard?’
Beyond that, countless other messages were flooding the chat.
Just before she had pressed the ‘end broadcast’ button yesterday, the chat window had seemingly scrolled up quickly, revealing such messages.
It seemed her stream-ending reaction from yesterday had been quite shocking.
‘Speaking of which, why are there so many viewers?’
The stream, which had only ten viewers yesterday, had now grown to twenty.
-BedInEnglish: Is this the famous reaction stream?
-WheelchairBestDriver: You started the stream early. Hi hi.
-CantLiftMjolnir: I saw the clip; it was legendary lol.
-GoParalympicsMaster: Seriously, that ‘heave-ho’ was insane.
‘Are there clips here too?’
In her original world, there had been forums where funny moments were uploaded via clips, and it seemed Zodiac Streaming had a similar feature.
It appeared new viewers had been drawn in by these clips.
-FeelGoodPotion: So, is this person really a virgin? Seriously asking.
What the hell is this guy now?
-FeelGoodPotion has been banned.
“Why does this crazy bastard keep asking about virgins?”
-MillionaireFromSeasonalBusiness: Wow, she really bans without hesitation lololol.
-NotCharcoalNotWitch: It’s like looking at my younger self; I like it. Women should be like this.
-RuthlessDumplingSlayer: It’s certainly more entertaining with someone like her, yeah.
Judging by the chat’s reaction, they seemed to appreciate her quick bans.
-CantLiftMjolnir: But won’t she get divine punishment for this? I’d be furious if I got banned.
-FeelGoodPotion: It’s only a 1-minute ban, so it’s fine.
-CantLiftMjolnir: Oh, what, it’s a 1-minute ban lol.
-GoParalympicsMaster: Wow, then can I say something, prepared to be banned?
“Alright, but just so you know, if you’re genuinely an ass, I’ll permaban you. Keep that in mind.”
She quickly announced the stream’s rules to the new viewers.
“The reaction you saw in the clip is a donation reaction, and there’s a specific timing for it, so if you donate then, I’ll do it.”
-CantPullExcalibur: Why won’t you do it now? That’s blatant discrimination.
“You idiot, I’m outside right now.”
Indeed.
She was currently streaming while walking down the street.
“How can I do something like that outside?”
Her reason for streaming outdoors was simple.
-WhyHometown: But walking around and streaming outside is fine? Lol.
“An outdoor stream is just something you do. Everyone streams when they hunt monsters anyway, right?”
-PlantLovers: When you put it like that, it kind of makes sense.
-PulledOutAMountain: It’s just a stream for communicating outside lololol.
If you start a broadcast outdoors, that’s an outdoor broadcast.
“Today, I’m going to the Hunter Association to register as a Hunter and stream taking the exam.”
Since she had easy-to-stream content, there was no need to do it off-stream.
-FeelGoodPotion: Oh, you’re going to stream that?
-WhyHometown: I know there’s an exam, but I’m curious what kind of exam it is.
-PlantLovers: Isn’t it just hitting scarecrows or something?
-MomLooksLikeAWoman: But why are you walking? Aren’t you taking the subway or a taxi?
“Because I don’t have money for transportation.”
-MomLooksLikeAWoman: Ah.
-NoSwearing: You were mean; apologize.
-NotAnOctopus: Young lady. If you. Marry. Me. You will. Never. Walk. Again. I promise.
-NotAnOctopus has been banned.
“Old man, just stick to your wheelchair.”
-WheelchairBestDriver has sponsored 10 Coins!
-Sponsor Message: ?
-CantLiftMjolnir: Lolololololol
-IDontCare: Lololololol
-PulledOutAMountain: Lolololololol
“No, not you. But wait, if you’re ‘WheelchairBestDriver,’ do you not have legs? What’s with that username? Anyway, thank you for the 10 Coins.”
-WheelchairBestDriver: If you’re grateful, show me your armpits.
“Get out, you crazy bastard.”
-WheelchairBestDriver has been banned.
-GoParalympicsMaster: I want to see something other than armpits, hehe.
“You too, get out.”
-GoParalympicsMaster has been banned.
She walked down the street, enjoying pleasant conversations with her viewers.
“Why is that person talking to herself?”
“She’s pretty, but she seems a bit off.”
“I wonder if she’d respond if I talked to her?”
“Even if she’s a bit off, she must have some sense, right?”
She felt the gazes and heard the whispers of people around her, but she cleanly ignored them.
Having experience with outdoor streaming in her original world, she knew that being embarrassed by this much would disqualify her as a streamer.
…That aside, it felt strange walking around in a female body.
She had always enjoyed attention, but now, these gazes made her heart pound in a different way.
“Where did I put my weapon, you ask? I put it in my inventory. How could I carry something so embarrassing around?”
-FeelGoodPotion: If you carry that around, 100 Coins.
-IDontCare: I’ll raise that by another 100 Coins.
-NoBellyButton: I’ll add 50 Coins too lol.
“Unless you pre-deposit, I don’t believe you~ Please donate first~”
-IDontCare: Lol, she didn’t fall for it.
-FeelGoodPotion: Seriously lol.
“I knew it. Both of you, get out.”
-IDontCare has been banned.
-FeelGoodPotion has been banned.
“Anyway, all those buildings you see there are part of the Hunter Association, okay? If I go through the main entrance there…”
Wee-woo-wee!
Suddenly, a siren blared. It was an unpleasant, piercing sound.
“What the hell is this?”
-MomLooksLikeAWoman: That’s a monster alert.
-WhyHometown: Looks like an acute gate just opened.
-PlantLovers: Of all places, it had to open right in front of the Association lol.
She was flustered, but the Constellations didn’t seem to be.
Beside the chat window, she could see people evacuating.
“Everyone, evacuate! It’s an acute gate!”
She knew what an acute gate was. She’d done some research online yesterday.
It was a gate that suddenly appeared, spewed out monsters, and then vanished.
Though she had no idea why it was happening right in front of her now.
‘Is this for real?’
A gate appeared nearby, and monsters poured out.
The monsters that emerged were Orcs.
Orcs’ skin color was similar to humans, but there were a few differences.
First, they were ugly. No, ‘ugly’ wasn’t even enough to describe them. Even if someone poured acid all over their body, they wouldn’t look like that.
“Kwooooorgh!”
It looked as if acid had truly been poured on them, as pus oozed from their skin, including their faces.
Furthermore, they were barely clothed, covering only their vital areas, which amplified their repulsive appearance.
“The Association is right here, so reinforcements will arrive soon! Everyone, please get to safety!”
The shouting woman pulled armor and a sword from her inventory, instantly preparing for battle.
‘Damn it, do I have to fight too?’
She wasn’t a Hunter yet. She didn’t have a Hunter’s license, nor had she taken the exam.
Even if she ran away from here, there would be no problem.
However.
-MomLooksLikeAWoman: Orcs are manageable, yeah.
-WhyHometown: Hit it once with a weapon, then smash its head, and it’ll probably die?
-IDontCare: If you kill it in one hit, 100 Coins. This time it’s real.
Those who could use Zodiac Streaming possessed the qualifications of a Hunter.
From the moment one could stream, they became stronger than ordinary people, so fighting monsters was a natural consequence.
Honestly, strong or not, she just wanted to run. She had never learned to fight, aside from a bit of kendo in her previous world.
‘If only the stream were off.’
The Constellations were watching.
If she fled in front of the Constellations, divine punishment might befall her.
Divine punishment was a natural disaster unleashed upon her.
If a Constellation brought down divine punishment, lightning would strike from the sky, the ground would collapse if she hid in a building, and tsunamis would surge from the sea.
Not having registered as a Hunter? That excuse would be meaningless. It would become a major blemish on her future streams.
“If I try and it seems impossible, I’ll run away.”
-WheelchairBestDriver: Yeah, if you think you’re gonna die, just bolt.
-NotAnOctopus: If you. Need. Help. I will. Gladly. Assist.
-IDontCare: Let’s see how it goes after you catch one first.
Fortunately, they seemed to allow this much.
After all, what crazy Constellation would force someone to their death?
“Hoo, here I go?”
She pulled a club from her inventory.
****
Hanna Mi, the leader of Hunter Team 3, charged towards the Orcs, clad in armor and wielding a sword.
‘Of all times, during rush hour.’
It was rush hour for her too, but also for the citizens, making it chaotic.
She had to evacuate citizens to safety while simultaneously fending off the Orcs.
The saving grace was that the Hunter Association was right next door, meaning there were many Hunters present.
They, too, were pouring all their efforts into eliminating the Orcs.
‘Orcs are not easy opponents.’
Though their intelligence was low, their physical capabilities were outstanding.
The moment one was caught, even a veteran Hunter would be in danger from these monsters.
They were monsters for whom distance control was key.
Murmur murmur murmur.
While evacuating citizens and felling Orcs, she heard a murmuring sound beside her.
Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a woman holding a club.
Murmur murmur murmur murmur.
The woman, without armor, dressed in a shirt and skirt, was swinging a club and muttering to herself.
‘…?’
She wondered if the woman was talking to Constellations, but people usually didn’t converse during battle.
Besides, the Constellations’ chat wasn’t usually that active.
-TwoHands: A moment ago, it would have been safer to swing your sword half a step further out.
Her own stream had about 100 viewers, yet there had only been one recent chat message.
Murmur murmur murmur murmur.
Thwack!
The woman continued to mutter into thin air, swinging her club to smash an Orc’s head.
‘Is she a celebrity?’
What first caught her eye was the woman’s appearance.
It was as if she had full makeup on, her appearance seeming to radiate light.
Famous Hunters sometimes filmed commercials, and this woman had the kind of looks that would land her such a gig.
Murmur murmur…
She watched the woman, who continued to mutter as she fought the Orc.
The Orc blocked her first swing.
“Danger…!”
It was a distance where the Orc could reach out and grab her.
However, the Orc’s condition was strange.
“Koo-hee-hee-hee-hee!”
The Orc was reaching out into thin air, not towards the woman. And its movements were remarkably slow.
The sound the Orc was emitting also felt unpleasantly off, not quite a roar.
“Kwooooorgh!”
Usually, they made this kind of sound.
Hanna Mi, having decapitated the Orc that had approached her, looked back at the woman.
‘Why does that thing look like that?’
Perhaps because she had been focused on her appearance, she only now noticed the weapon the woman was holding.
…It looked like shit.
There was no other way to describe it.
‘Could it be that even the veins are rendered…?’
Distracting thoughts were poison that led to death in battle, but for now, they wouldn’t leave her mind.
Murmur murmur murmur.
The way she kept muttering also disrupted Hanna Mi’s concentration.
She sharpened her hearing to catch the words.
“Thank you for the Orc one-hit kill mission donation. Bear panties, eh-heh-heh? You, get out, you crazy bastard.”
‘…?’
‘Is she really talking to a Constellation?’
How dare she call a Constellation a crazy bastard? Wasn’t she afraid of divine punishment?
“Honestly, you think Orcs are cute if you look closely? WheelchairBestDriver, are your eyes bad too? How is that cute? It’s repulsive.”
Around this point, Hanna Mi gave up trying to understand and focused entirely on felling Orcs.
Otherwise, she felt she would truly lose her mind.
