The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 244
78. Stars and Campfire (2)
The screen turned white.
[Server Temporarily Closed]
[The awards ceremony and after-party will take place in 24 hours. Please return then!]
Only these words floated on the screen.
A woman sat in the capsule, staring blankly at those words.
‘It’s over.’
It didn’t quite feel real.
I hadn’t participated from the beginning, but somehow I’d grown attached to it all the same.
Crackle.
A voice came through.
[Ah. Choi Sun-sin. You’ve worked incredibly hard.]
“It was nothing special.”
[I’m worried you pushed yourself too hard at the end. Why… did you work so earnestly? Were you trying to surprise us? Haha!]
Department Manager Jang was referring to how she’d performed the dragon control so exceptionally well that he was taken aback.
Despite her body not being in perfect condition.
Why had she worked so hard anyway.
“…That’s just what I wanted to do.”
Sarang answered without much hesitation.
[Ah… I see. That makes sense.]
Department Manager Jang paused for a moment, savoring her answer, then composed himself and shared his thoughts.
[Thanks to that, we got some truly wonderful scenes. I really… I do love this kind of thing.]
“What kind of…?”
[There are people like that. People filled with something inside. People whose emotions just overflow visibly. Capturing those people on camera… I love it.]
“Ah… yes.”
Sarang nodded, seeming to have many thoughts on her mind.
[I’ll edit it well and upload it. Please make sure to watch.]
“I will. But…”
[Yes.]
“Does this mean I qualify for the inter-platform championship…? Is that right?”
[Ah. Of course. Check it out at the after-party.]
“?”
Department Manager Jang left a cryptic remark and bid farewell.
[I’ll be heading out. You must be exhausted. Get some rest.]
Click.
The connection cut off.
‘The after-party?’
I’d never heard anything specific about an after-party.
What was supposed to happen there.
How to form a team, even that.

* * *
‘How much time did I spend with Balloon Gum?’
Before facing the massive mirror, this thought crossed my mind.
They said the AI would analyze the data and decide, but what came to mind was simply ‘how much time did we spend together?’ That was all.
-Oh
-So this is how they decide teams
-Of course it’s AI lol
-Ah, so that’s why they chose Cheese Village lol
I took a deep breath and stood before the mirror.
Boom~!
[Rubisword has donated 50,000 won!]
[Your teammate is… Balloon Gum!]
Hahahahaha
-Haha lol
-Was Nut Shake’s nervous expression because of this? lol
-Gasp
-Whoa
I was startled.
I patted my chest internally without showing it.
I thought the TTS voice from the donation came from the mirror.
“Thank you for the donation, Rubisword….”
Ahem.
I composed myself again and stood squarely before the mirror.
My avatar with its oversized head stood in the mirror.
Soon after, ripples spread across my form and swirled.
Whoooosh.
The image in the mirror changed.
Several figures stood there.
But their forms weren’t clearly visible.
Then I heard the mirror’s whisper.
“The person you felt closest to.”
Swish.
One of the wavering figures revealed itself.
An avatar with yellow hair.
[Danmuji]
It was Danmuji.
-Ooooh
-Danmuji lol
-Jackpot
The mirror speaks again.
“The person most loyal to you.”
Whoosh.
The next figure emerges.
[Goguma]
It was Gobong.
-Gobong lol
-Gobong’s nice lol
-Haha
-So it’s gonna be 5 knights lol
Ah. I understood now.
With this pattern, my team would be formed with five knights.
“The person who moved your heart the most.”
Whoosh.
Next was an avatar with red hair.
[Hong-cha]
-Hongsong!
Ugh, this is so frustrating.
-The knight order again!
-???: I’m… going to stay with the Knight Order.
-Haha
-This is it~
But it didn’t end there.
Whoosh.
Another figure appears.
An avatar with beautiful, sharp eyes.
[Miho]
It was Miho.
‘Huh?’
Is the team already decided?
Since there are five of us.
-Gasp
-Miho? Wow
-You barely spent time together but your heart moved? lol
-Isn’t this the opposite of moving your heart?
-Lemon too! Lemon too!
-The worst streamer in the world, Almond
But it wasn’t over.
More figures appeared in succession.
[Lemon]
Whoosh.
As expected, Lemon had been a Knight Order member.
Several more appeared after that.
[Greentea]
[Mosol]
[Bungeo]
.
.
.
“The person you fear most.”
[Balloon Gum]
Even Balloon Gum!
-?
-???
Hahahahahaha
Hahaha what is this hahaha
True feelings lol
No, haha
-how did you know???
Almond was startled.
“That’s not it?”
But the mirror couldn’t communicate back.
“Wait, if there are this many, what do we do?”
-beats me
-no clue;
-king knows
-right
-what is this…
The team had grown far too large.
It seemed that was because I had been active in so many positions.
“Bonds, you see… they don’t flow in just one direction.”
The mirror whispers.
Shiiiiiek.
Countless forms are sucked back into the vortex.
“Just as the world cycles through yin and yang, so too do bonds.”
Pop!
In the end, only four bonds were revealed on the mirror’s surface.
[Danmuji]
[Goguma]
[Hong-cha]
[Lemon]
The original Knight Order members.
-Wow
-Nice
-Hongsong! Hongsong! Hongsong! Hongsong!
-That’s it
-Hongsong! Hongsong!
-Root──base!
-Haha
“These are the people connected to Aimee.”
Whoosh.
The mirror returned to its original form.
Only the large-headed Almond avatar stared blankly at the mirror’s surface.
“Ah. This worked out well. It turned out this way after all.”
Almond turned around with a satisfied grin.
“Brother.”
I ran into Mosol.
He was still here by my side?
“Congratulations. You get to team up with the people you used to work with….”
“Uh… but isn’t that how it was supposed to be originally?”
“….”
Mosol shook his head and headed toward the exit of the exhibition hall.
I’m crying / I’m so sad
Mosol was crying because… he couldn’t team up with him lol
-Did Gichan read the letter? Nut Shake!?
Damn it ㅠㅠ
Jung Gi-chan lol

* * *
As I exited the exhibition hall, the other Knight Order members who had each looked into their mirrors regrouped.
“Wow. We’re doing it all over again?”
Hong-cha spoke excitedly.
“Right? Hehe!”
Lemon was simply delighted to be doing this alongside Hong-cha.
“Everyone probably will.”
Goguma showed no particular reaction, as if it were obvious.
“This entire content was designed for that purpose.”
“Exactly. That’s right.”
Danmuji chimed in with a knowing chuckle.
They all turned their gaze toward me.
My reaction seemed to be what they were most curious about.
After all, I had been the protagonist of this content.
“So… is the afterparty ending with this?”
I had nothing particular to say about the team.
I was curious about what the afterparty entailed.
“Well. Probably? We could walk around the field outside where the incidents took place… and see the sights.”
Lemon interjected.
“Everyone traces back from where they first appeared and takes a look around.”
“Yeah, I already did that.”
“Me too.”
“I did as well.”
Everyone had already made content of returning to their starting points and recounting the history.
“So…”
All eyes converged once more on me.
I blinked my eyes.
“Did our Daegam do it?”
“…?”
At Hong-cha’s words, I tilted my head in confusion.
The beginning?
Right. I had intended to trace back from where the beginning started.
As I pondered this, my mind suddenly became tangled in complexity.
But then, at that moment—
‘Huh?’
Flash!
Something flickered past.
Only then did I remember.
“Ah!”
Snap!
Almond clapped his hands so forcefully that every member of the Knight Order jumped in surprise.
After all, Almond rarely expressed his emotions with such intensity.
“What’s wrong?”
Hong-cha asked in surprise.
“I remember where I started.”
“…Ah. Really?”
hahahahahahaha
-Wait, he remembers where he started and that’s the reaction?
-??
-That’s it?
Even if it’s a discovery from any era, it’s just one line lol
I’m dying laughing
Almond had finally remembered where he first caused the incident.
Where he was trying to go and why he was trying to go there.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh? Where to?”
Almond answered with a wry smile.
“Fishing!”
“…?”
Finally? Hahahaha
That’s crazy ㅋㅋㅋ
-Haha
-Oh
-Almond’s seasonal tradition: Fishing
-Let’s go!

* * *
That was it.
When Almond first started in Seok.
He wandered around the waterside claiming he would go fishing.
Without even a fishing rod.
“Wait. Why were you wandering around without a fishing rod?”
Returning to Almond’s beginning once more.
Danmuji asked in bewilderment.
“I was hoping to borrow one if I found someone fishing.”
“Ah….”
At that moment, they all nodded as if understanding.
And they went to that scene.
Poof~.
“Oh….”
There, as if on cue, incident footage was playing alongside a sign.
This was clearly a place where something important had happened.
In the footage, someone was being beaten to death.
It was Huchoo.
[Uuuaahhh~!]
She was swung around endlessly by someone clinging to her side, and eventually collapsed from the relentless beating.
Boom.
The person who collapsed appears.
[Almond]
It was Almond.
-It was a crime scene
Hahahahahaha
Got caught in a lie right away lol
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
“That was… ahem. Because he wouldn’t lend me a fishing rod….”
“….”
Almond, seeing his Daegam days again, trailed off.
Is that supposed to be an excuse? lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-Daegam Almond is a legend no matter how many times you watch it.
hahahahaha
-Still, you should fish though, right?
“Ah, yes. Yes. I understand everything.”
“I saw it in Nolchimae… I had forgotten.”
Even the Knight Order acknowledges the situation.
After all, this wasn’t the first or second time something like this happened.
We had committed countless crimes together.
“Then let’s go fishing as our Daegam wishes.”
Danbong grinned and pulled out a fishing rod.
Everyone retrieved their fishing rods from their inventories one by one.
“Yeah, sounds good.”
Splish splosh…
They all moved toward the flowing water.
But Almond alone was struggling behind, lagging far back.
“Why aren’t you coming?”
“Ah…”
Hahahahaha
No way lol
-Gasp
lol
“I don’t have a fishing rod.”
At those words, every Knight’s face went rigid.
On the screen behind Almond, Salt could be seen dying of laughter.
Prepare a bit in advance, haha.
He has everything but a fishing rod, Amondine lol
“What do you mean you still don’t have it? Lol”
What the heck is this lolololol
Hahahahahaha
-Has everything except that one thing
In the tense silence that followed.
Danmuji spoke first.
“I’ll lend you one. Come on.”
Fortunately, he had a spare.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Yay.
Almond came running over excitedly.
Puhaha.
All the Knights burst into laughter watching him.
[Please enjoy your free time until today.]
[Once time runs out, the server will shut down and be deleted.]
The final free time granted by the server.
Perhaps Almond’s adventure—not as Daegam, but as himself—was just beginning now.
Plop.
The fishing bobber, brimming with anticipation, splashed into the stream.
