The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 141
45. Gothuber Assemble (3)
At last, Balloon Gum arrived at the Knight Order.
The very same Knight Order that had marked him for rejection at the document screening stage.
“Balloon Gum has arrived!”
But things were different now.
Snap!
Bongbong and Hongsong-i stood in a single line.
They stood at attention, and at the end of the line, Almond spread both arms wide to welcome him.
“Kkeom!”
Balloon Gum, unbothered—naturally, since he had no idea about the document rejection—spread both arms toward Almond with delight.
“Mond!”
Thunk.
The two bumped their enormous heads together.
“Ah, ouch. These arms don’t reach…”
“Indeed.”
Their arms were far too short relative to their head size, making even a simple embrace difficult.
-The Knight Order assembled Ghostbusters lol
Hahahahahaha
I can’t translate this line as it appears to be corrupted or garbled text in Korean. The characters don’t form coherent words or a meaningful phrase.
Suyeon called me over ㅠㅠ
Almond wasted no time and got straight to the point.
“You saw the general details in the DM, right?”
“Yeah. You need my power?”
“Come with me first.”
Almond led Balloon Gum toward the second floor.
Balloon Gum followed without a second thought.
But subtly, the Bongbongs trailed behind Balloon Gum, blocking the exit.
Balloon Gum, utterly lacking in perception, naturally noticed nothing.
“Wow, nice place. This is real relaxation~”
He casually admired the house as he followed Almond.
Thud.
“?”
Almond pulled out a large box in front of him.
“What… what is this?”
“A gift.”
“Really?”
But why give a gift all the way up on the second floor?
Even for Balloon Gum, this seemed rather suspicious.
The reason was simple.
Blocking the second-floor staircase provides better security than blocking the first-floor entrance.
Danbong seals off the exit and adds a remark.
“We prepared this specially for you, Journalist.”
“What… what on earth is it?”
Balloon Gum senses something amiss and glances around nervously.
-What is this, they’re scary lol
-Creepy
-This lol feels off
“What would be the greatest gift for a member of the press?”
“…Fertile soil?”
-????
-Lmaooo
-Their true feelings slipped out lol
-Haha
“Ahem. Isn’t that newsworthy?”
“Uh… I guess?”
Balloon Gum doesn’t seem convinced at all.
“Yes. So we prepared this. Please take a look.”
Whoosh.
As the box lid slides away, items come into view.
“What is this?”
“A remote-detonation bomb and a placard that the terrorist Jello left behind.”
“…!”
[The Agricultural Cooperative does not forget. The Agricultural Cooperative does not forgive.]
-Lmaooo
-Wow lol they went this far??
-Is this real??? lol
-Lmao
-Agricultural Cooperative do not forget, Agricultural Cooperative do not forgive…
Balloon Gum’s viewers who saw this placard for the first time were in stitches.
They had no idea the conflict between the Agricultural Cooperative and the Knight Order ran this deep.
“Was Jello… carrying out terrorism on the Agricultural Cooperative’s orders?”
“That’s correct.”
Danbong lifts the bomb and explains.
“This bomb is identical to the one Jello used.”
“Wait, but the bomb already exploded, didn’t it?”
“Yes. That one did explode. This one was retrieved from the bodies of the Agricultural Cooperative members.”
“!?”
From the bodies of Agricultural Cooperative members?
When exactly?
Wait, how could I even see the bodies of the Nonghyup Members in the first place?
No one else could.
Balloon Gum’s eyes wavered.
‘Could it be.’
He had also seen the article from the Farmer’s Daily News.
Could it really be….
‘Was that actually real?’
These bastards were the ones who burned the Agricultural Cooperative to death!
-???
lol
-Gasp
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (laughter)
Balloon Gum muttered into a channel only the viewers could hear.
“Everyone. I think I’ve really gotten myself into something big here?”
lol that’s so funny
-So the Farmer’s Daily News was right…?
Haha, that’s hilarious!
I can’t translate this as it appears to be random Korean characters that don’t form coherent words or meaningful text.
That’s a real troll lol
“Balloon Daily News lol worst shit ever lol”
-Since we’re already here, let’s just go full Bluff News
It turned out that -and Nongmin Ilbo were a match made in heavenㅋㅋ
Balloon Gum only now realized his mistake, but Danbong continued with the explanation.
“This bomb was found on the Agricultural Cooperative’s body, and this placard was found on Jello’s body. This is no coincidence.”
“I… I see?”
Balloon Gum’s eyes darted in every direction.
“Yes. Wouldn’t this make a wonderful article? The Agricultural Cooperative, pretending to be so friendly, was actually ordering terrorist attacks from behind the scenes.”
Danbong showed and explained each piece of evidence one by one.
None of it was reaching my ears.
Balloon Gum was trying to find an exit.
‘Damn it. Everything’s blocked.’
If I got any more entangled in this, I’d die.
That was the instinct I felt.
But then─
“Ah.”
Danbong suddenly pointed at a box as if he’d just remembered.
“We didn’t just put this in here. Haha.”
“?”
“Let’s see what’s inside.”
Balloon Gum wondered what he meant and peered into the box.
Evidence lay inside, with white paper spread beneath it.
He lifted the paper to look underneath.
Whoosh.
“!”
Golden radiance.
Balloon Gum froze for a moment.
Then, shortly after─
“These Agricultural Cooperative bastards are rotten to the core!”
Balloon Gum cried out.
“As a storyteller! I can’t just let this slide!?”
-Haha, oh my!
-???: Something awakened inside me…
Ghostbusters reunion lol
Hahahahaha
It was too much money to refuse lol
Whoosh.
Balloon Gum stuffed the box straight into his inventory.
“I knew you’d do it, hyung.”
Almond grinned and stepped forward, raising his hand.
“Ghostbus─”
“ters!!”
Clap!
Balloon Gum and Almond’s hands collided.
-Kyaa
Ghostbusters! Reunion! hahahaha
-Wow
Why am I getting emotional over this? lol
Ghost Busters lolol
-Keu~ This is it~
“Isn’t this Gostop Busters, you scammers? lol”
Now these two had become one.
They held the media in their grasp.

* * *
A moment later.
The headline of Balloon Gum News changed.
[Farmer by Day, Terrorist by Night—The Two Faces of the Agricultural Cooperative]
“What?”
“No, the Agricultural Cooperative commissioned terrorism?”
“Seriously… Look at this! They say it’s evidence!”
A plausible story complete with multiple photographic pieces of evidence.
But right next to it.
An article from the Farmer’s Daily appeared.
Thud.
“Gasp. What the hell is that!?”
A headline that inevitably drew the residents’ attention.
[Balloon Gum News in Collusion with the Knight Order (Evidence Included)]
-Lol look how blunt the article title is
-This isn’t journalism, it’s a community post??
That’s so cringe, no-pro.
-The bait is strong lmao
Since it wasn’t real journalism anyway, the Farmer’s Daily had completely abandoned any pretense of journalistic integrity.
But the effect was undeniable.
“What? They say there’s evidence?”
“Surely Balloon Gum didn’t…”
“Evidence included! Can’t you see?”
People began reading through, wondering what this supposed evidence actually was.
‘What is this?’
Meanwhile, Balloon Gum, who had been admiring his own article, came over and read it as well.
But the more he read, the more absurd it became.
“This is insane…”
lol
-They found out??
Wow, haha!
-We’re done for
==== ====
Balloon Gum News had been writing favorable articles about the Knight Order. Many of them were later revealed to be false.
While spreading lies and defending the Knight Order, Balloon Gum News is now facing controversy after paparazzi captured scenes suggesting recent collusion with the Knight Order.
(Photo)
A photograph of Balloon Gum visiting the Knight Order was captured by paparazzi.
Particularly, the image of him receiving a box on the second floor is enough to raise suspicion.
The dark, fertile soil visible through the window corner is no coincidence—it’s their sinister true nature exposed to the light…
==== ====
There were several more photographs beneath the second floor image as well.
“Wow… This is actual collusion?”
“Insane. Look at the photos.”
“What. But is that an apple box? An apple box? This is insane.”
Balloon Gum slaps his forehead.
“…We’re finished.”
Getting caught on camera receiving the box—there’s nothing to say about this.
T_T
-What now
-The Knight Order gets shit again…
-Gothuber Busters! Disband!
Haha, did it already fail? ㅠㅠ
Since Balloon Gum had brought this tail along, it was practically no different from a troll.
The journalist from Balloon Daily News standing beside him lost all credibility before the Farmer’s Daily’s evidence.
“So then, this article next to it is just trash?”
Balloon Daily News was treated as garbage.
“It’s all lies! The Knight Order only writes good articles!”
“Man… Isn’t the Knight Order’s interview coming up soon? We’re done for. Completely done for.”
“Wait, Balloon Gum is here! Hey Balloon Gum! Say something!”
Damn it!
Balloon Gum turned and fled.
“Hey Balloon Gum!!”
“No, no! Don’t come! Don’t come!”

* * *
About thirty minutes later.
Knight Order.
Danbong sat on the sofa with his head hung low.
‘Damn it.’
The unease I’d felt ever since Balloon Gum joined us.
It had come true.
“Hmm….”
Almond beside him stared quietly at the ground, seemingly lost in thought.
Hongsong-i next to him cursed suddenly, her anger flaring.
“Damn it! Those cowardly bastards! They put a tail on us!?”
That’s right.
They also knew what had happened just moments ago.
-Hahaha
-She just cursed them out lol
-lol that really is infuriating
I’m seriously fed up with being followed around like this ㅠㅠ
Thud!
She punched the wall and spoke.
“Just let me go! I’ll burn everything down and just die!”
Hongsong wasn’t the only one getting emotional.
“Sir. What do we do now? This is completely hopeless, isn’t it?”
Danbong was too.
“Aren’t we completely isolated now? Zelkosong is in cahoots with the Agricultural Cooperative anyway….”
Gobong as well.
“The Agricultural Cooperative is manipulating public opinion with sheer numbers! And everyone’s canceling their interviews anyway!? Aren’t they all no-showing today!? What about my successor!?”
-His successor again lol
-lololol
T_T
The knight order is ruined ㅠㅠ
The atmosphere had suddenly become as if the Knight Order was falling apart, which some might not have understood.
Abundant fertile land and iron equipment.
Economically, conditions were perfect.
However, Almond understood why they were like this.
‘Isolation is the problem.’
First of all, Cirque is a communication game.
Once isolated, the broadcast loses its appeal.
But it’s not just about the broadcast.
‘It’s simply suffering.’
Instinct.
Humans instinctively fear isolation.
Almond had experienced it too.
Stories I didn’t know circulated among crowds, and gradually I found myself being shut out.
And before long, I’d become completely alone….
「They say I got in through connections.」
「How did you even get hired? High school diploma? Full-time position? It makes no sense.」
「…Tsk. Don’t butt in unnecessarily. You’re making things difficult for everyone.」
「How old are you that you lack this much social awareness?」
The severing of relationships.
This wasn’t mere abstract suffering.
It was a tangible, physical impact—the kind that steals your breath and makes you gasp for air at any moment.
When it intensifies, people often call it panic disorder.
Even Almond, who had undergone considerable mental training, couldn’t endure it for more than five years, and when the Department Manager told me to leave, I nodded without resistance.
But—
‘Still, I made it through five years.’
Those five years weren’t entirely wasted.
There are ways to survive even in isolation.
‘Juhyeok Kim.’
If just one person truly believed in me.
“In times like this, we just need to stick together even more.”
That alone was enough for a person to survive.
“And we just need to focus on what we have to do. If we do our job well, we’ll gradually gain more allies.”
Unexpectedly mature words.
The viewers were bewildered.
-?
-???
-What we have to do: burn Mosol to death
-How do you gain allies by burning someone to death lol
-Seems like we’ll only get scorched earth
The viewers didn’t believe those words.
The Knight Order, whose morale had hit rock bottom, offered no response.
“….”
Clap.
Nevertheless, Almond clapped and shifted the mood.
“Well then, let’s go see the people who came for interviews first. We have to do it anyway.”
“Ah… Yes, yes….”
Gobong trudges out.
“By now they’re probably waiting outside the gate… though most of them probably won’t show up….”
Almond braced myself mentally.
That truly no one might be there.
Gulp.
‘I just need to react calmly.’
If the Leader panicked here, everyone else would fall apart.
He pressed his lips firmly together and stepped forward to open the door.
“Now, Knight Order interview─”
I was about to begin the Knight Order interview examination.
…Or so I should have said.
“──WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
The roar that erupted left Almond speechless.
“!”
Before the Knight Order stood an enormous crowd waiting for their interviews.
-?
-???
-What?
-Huh?
‘What is this?’
Was everything I was just talking about meaningless?
Did everyone who applied actually show up?
“This… This is insane. What is this?”
“There seem to be far more people than those who applied. Wow… way more!”
That wasn’t it.
The headcount far exceeded those who had applied.
“How… How is this possible?”
Everyone was bewildered.
But the answer came quickly from what the waiting crowd was shouting.
“Fertile Land! Fertile Land!”
They had seen something beyond bribes in the photograph with Balloon Gum.
“Owl Black really exists!”
“Please accept on-site applications! We pledge our loyalty!”
“The Farmer King! Mon D. Roger!!”
lol
Why are you like this lolol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
You blew a bubble with gum again lol
I came because of the fertile soil lol
Only then did Almond remember.
The real reason I had worked at Aseng for five years.
‘Large corporations are nice, sure.’
Money.
