The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 246
78. Stars and Campfire (4)
Being a Streamer is a strangely lonely profession.
Though I communicate with countless people, they have no physical form.
-hey hey
-Gichan’s here~
-doing Ril today?
-forget everything else just do Ril lolol
-Mosol hey
It’s different from the loneliness in crowds that celebrities often speak of.
These people have no faces or voices.
Well, occasionally when they pay money, they gain a voice.
Ding.
[Gichanism donated 2,000 won.]
[Today I also pray to the heavens. That Jeong Gi-chan never gets a girlfriend.]
Sometimes a mocking voice rings out, distorting the words playfully.
“Why would you even pray for something like that?”
Gichan simply laughs it off without taking it seriously. He doesn’t react much.
Getting roasted for a thousand or two thousand won isn’t something new.
‘Still, it’s nice to communicate like this.’
Gichan always thought to himself.
Being a Streamer is a strangely lonely profession.
And that’s what makes it good for me.
‘I… can’t really talk well when I actually meet people.’
This strange and lonely profession.
It’s perfect for certain unusual people.
There are people who struggle to converse when they meet others face-to-face.
People who, when gathered in groups, simply sit quietly and laugh along with the mood.
But that doesn’t mean such people lack hidden charm.
It doesn’t mean they won’t be cheered for.
-Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan!
-Chiki-cha~
-wow amazing
-just lost it lolol
-kyaa
In the Streamer market, even these people can display their charm.
They can be cheered for.
They can gain confidence.
“Chiki-cha~!”
-hehe~
-Hahaha
-Hahahahahaha
-Haha
His broadcast grew day by day.
Even his ‘strange’ appearance was attractive to some people.
-Honestly, nobody gives off that genuine loser vibe like he does
-The textbook definition of a social outcast lol
-Genuine
-I’ve seen every loser concept out there, but the original can’t be beat^^
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
‘Should I get angry that it’s not a concept… Should I get angry that I’m not a loser….’
Jeong Gi-chan himself was confused.
Why were people even watching his broadcast?
Why did they like this side of him?
He couldn’t understand it.
There was no reason to like something.
And there was no reason to dislike something either.
“No. Why do you keep telling me to go out? I said I don’t want to.”
Survival Craft, the early days of Cheese Village.
He stayed in the corner and only farmed.
It was fun watching his farm grow bigger as he increased farming efficiency.
-Wow, this guy is being real
-This is supposed to be a people-meeting content lol
-Go out and explore
He knew well that streamer joint broadcasts were content about meeting people and traveling around.
Yet he deliberately didn’t do that.
“This is free content. You guys.”
The fundamental spirit of Cheese Village.
Play freely.
For him, playing freely meant farming alone.
‘That’s what it was supposed to be.’
Mosol squeezed his eyes shut.
As the sight disappeared, the sounds became clearer.
Crackle… snap….
The sound of the campfire burning.
The sound of people laughing and chattering.
His heart pounds, and his body grows warm.
It comes through between the heartbeats.
Someone’s voice asking a question.
“Who else wants to share their thoughts?”
Someone spoke up.
“I… I do.”
He was about to share his thoughts on this long journey through Cheese Village.
“I have something to say.”
Surprisingly, this voice was far too familiar.
It was Gichan’s own voice.
Before he knew it, he had raised his hand and stepped forward, wanting to say something.
He opened his eyes again.
The avatars of countless people were staring at him.
-Yikes
-Jeong Gi-chan?
-Whoa
-LMAO
-Wow lol
-He’s done it
-No lol
-For real??
The chat window visible on one side was scrolling up at an incredible speed.
Everyone was flustered.
His viewers had already started clipping and preparing to tease him.
Mosol shrank back for a moment.
‘Damn it.’
What was I thinking, stepping forward to speak like that?
Even to me, it seemed insane.
Then he noticed someone’s gesture.
Almond, Goguma, Danmuji… and others.
Former colleagues from the Knight Order.
“Go Mosol! You got this!”
“The white reaper Mobunji!”
“Mobunji! Mobunji!”
People were cheering him on.
“I… I…”
Mosol gathered his courage and spoke.
“I think this is the first time I’ve had conversations with so many people while gaming.”
The bustling atmosphere quieted for a moment.
Everyone was listening to what Mosol had to say.
“I… I actually don’t like meeting people. Nothing extraordinary happened. It just… somehow ended up this way…”
Even Mosol’s original viewers already knew this much.
“…but I think it wasn’t like that.”
-?
-??
-Huh?
What the heck lol
Mosol denied something he had been saying all along.
He stared at the campfire for a moment, then spoke.
“I think… I actually enjoyed meeting people.”
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
-…Euk
Damn it ㅠㅠ
Ugh.
“Seeing us gather like this with a campfire, singing songs, and making noise together… it feels like we’ve become family.”
A dark night.
Beneath a sky twinkling with stars.
Only the crackling of the campfire echoed softly through the silence.
“Spending time with people, laughing together, doing things as one… it feels like such a wonderful thing.”
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
-Even you, Mosol…
-No! Don’t become an extrovert!
It doesn’t fit… ㅠㅠㅠ
“Earning money, studying, working hard—is it all for moments like this? That’s how good it was. It was so much fun.”
This was Mosol’s genuine heart speaking.
Remarkably, not a single word was prepared.
He simply poured out the emotions he felt, unfiltered and unstructured.
“If there are more events like this in the future, I’d like to participate again. Thank you all for making time for this. Especially you, Almond—thank you for giving me the chance to join the Knight Order. Chiki-cha~”
Mosol bowed and stepped back.
“Chiki-cha~!”
Almond shouted in response.
Everyone cheered.
“Waaaaaaa!”
Clap clap clap…!
Applause filled the air.
“Gichan! Gichan!”
They chanted his name.
Though it sounded like teasing, Mosol broke into a wide smile.
-Kya
Is this really the Mosol I knew? ㅠㅠ
-But… honestly, even like this it feels genuine…
I’m so moved, Kichan… (or: This is so touching, Kichan…)
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
Mosol’s viewers were finally beginning to understand his sincerity.
After hearing Mosol’s thoughts.
No one else stepped forward to share their impressions after that.
Perhaps they believed he had already spoken for everyone.
That’s when Almond muttered.
“Thirty minutes left.”
Only then did everyone turn their eyes to the timer displayed at the edge of their vision.
[Server Shutdown 00:29:57]
-No way
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
-It’s really ending.
-Goodbye Cheese Village…
I’m crying so hard.
Previously, Tribby City had come to an end.
This time, Cheese Village was disappearing.
Once a Survival Craft server vanished, no record remained.
Preserving records required considerable expense.
“…It really is the end.”
Danmuji also muttered blankly.
“Still, we had the after-party and shared our thoughts. We did everything we needed to, right?”
Tap.
Goguma, placing a hand on his shoulder, grinned.
Lemon chimed in as well.
“We even did everything Daegam wanted—fishing, camping, all of it!”
Hong-cha nodded with wide eyes.
“Oh. Really? We did everything?”
“Did everything Daegam wanted~”
Hahahahaha
Lol, in the end it’s all the same
That guy’s tough as nails lol, he finally pulled it off
-Haha
I’m crying
-Daegam’s wish fulfilled at the end
“Yeah. That’s true.”
Almond nodded, realizing the truth in those words.
He had died right at the start, lost everything, and begun as a pauper.
Yet he had become wealthy.
He had even become a king.
But he had also fallen to rock bottom through false accusations.
He had wandered and hidden among the Knight Order and underground cities.
He had soared through the skies with Triana and battled colossal monsters.
I’ve been a traitor, and I’ve been a hero.
And finally….
‘I’ve fished. I’ve camped too.’
My gaze shifts to the massive fish, now reduced to bones.
Next are the countless Residents gathered around this campfire.
The faces of my colleagues on the Cheese platform, those I’ll continue to work with going forward.
Even as the event neared its end, they huddled together chattering away, seemingly endless in their conversations.
Countless voices carry forth, and countless stories echo through the air.
“It was fun, wasn’t it?”
A voice cut through the cacophony of sounds.
I spun around in surprise.
“Triana.”
It was her—Triana.
Her proportions had returned to Seok’s fractional form, concealed by a hat and other coverings, but I remember her voice.
“That’s right.”
“Are you staying until today?”
“It’s the last day, after all.”
She sat down carefully nearby, murmuring as she gazed at the campfire.
“But I asked if you had fun.”
“Ah. Yes. It was fun.”
I nodded in agreement.
There was nothing else to say but that it was fun.
How many people did I laugh with during this content? How much did we laugh together?
How many people laughed because of it?
Of course… there were people who got angry too.
But looking back, it was all amusing in the end.
Goguma’s magic tricks, the secrets of fertile soil, the Knight Order’s tyranny, Zelru’s rebellion….
“It was fun. Really….”
Triana turned away from the campfire to face me.
“So if you get a chance like this again. Would you do it?”
I pondered blankly before nodding.
Wasn’t it obvious?
“Of course. I think I’d do it again.”
It was an answer that would make the Doctor weep if he heard it, yet I spoke it without hesitation.
Because….
‘It’s fun.’
Because it’s fun.
Because I want to.
Perhaps this is the driving force behind everything.
“Will you do it again, Sealed Saint?”
Almond asked.
Triana tilted her head in confusion.
“Me? I’m… I’m already here, aren’t I?”
After all, she belonged to this place.
The question asking if she would do it again was truly unexpected.
“Oh? It’s the Sealed Saint.”
“The Sealed Saint?”
The Residents discovered her presence one by one.
“Ooh, what?”
“She came for the finale!”
“Is she going again?”
Triana waved her hand, but with so many eyes on her, she felt uncomfortable and turned her head away.
[Server Shutdown 00:03:32]
About three minutes remained.
“Gobong~! What are you doing! Play us a song!”
Just then, Danmuji suddenly kicked Goguma on the back of the head and shouted.
Thwack.
Hahahahahaha
What is it? lol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
It’s Gobong again lol
“Ah, oh my! Yes! Yes!”
Gobong pulled a guitar from his inventory.
“Ooh.”
“You have a guitar?”
“Goguma can play guitar, you know.”
Ding~
Goguma plucked the guitar strings with practiced ease.
“I’ve actually studied music quite a bit, you see?”
It was one of Goguma’s talents.
That’s why I’m laughing at the sheet music lol
-That’s how Bong Flash was possible
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-Right, he went to music school
-Nice
-Let’s go~
“It’s my original composition. Actually… I made it to perform for you at the end.”
“Wooooow!”
There was a reason Danmuji kicked him out.
It had been prepared beforehand.
“Ahem.”
Ting~
His song began with the accompaniment.
The Residents clapped in rhythm with the beat.
Was this thanks to Gobong’s rigorous training?
The Knight Order kept the tempo particularly well.
Clap, clap, clap…!
The memories we created.
Burning bright red over there.
Scattering white as smoke.
I’m still not ready.
How can I let you go?
Even the burns from that heat.
Haven’t healed yet.
I’d be fine leaving them as scars.
As long as the memories remain.
I’m still not ready.
How can I let you go?
Goguma raised his hand and spoke.
“Count down for us.”
[00:00:11]
Eleven seconds until everything ends.
“10!”
All the Residents shouted in unison.
“9!”
Goguma began singing again.
“8!”
His song climbed higher and higher toward its peak.
The Residents’ voices converged more and more.
“7!”
Almond and Triana shouted together.
“6!”
The Residents stood up one by one.
“5!”
They all held hands.
“4!”
Their voices became one.
“3!”
Hoping not to depart, they paradoxically had no choice but to shout even louder.
“2!”
To eternally remember this fleeting moment.
“1!”
To be cherished like a gift in everyone’s memory.
Whoosh!
Everything blazed white.
[Server Closed]
[Thank you for loving Cheese Village all this time.]
