The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 47
15. The Hopeless Trinity (3)
Balloon Gum had much riding on this match as well.
A mission was on the line?
No.
Something far greater was at stake.
Namely….
-How pathetic
-Balloon Gum is so pathetic…
-They keep cycling between this guy and Almond lol
-This is just a jackpot game, what is this? lol
-You should climb up through skill~
-Reverse Russian roulette vibes
The viewers’ mockery!
Those irritating anonymous masses that Balloon Gum had always endured.
Hordes of malice hiding behind countless identities unknown to each other, diminishing his skill.
They were calling him pathetic, claiming he was clinging to the one-in-ten probability of being placed on the same team as Almond.
“Yeah. I admit it. I’m pathetic.”
Whoooosh!
Even as Balloon Gum fell, he acknowledged it.
Pathetic.
But isn’t a pathetic victory better than a glorious defeat on the battlefield?
-lololol
-lol facts
-Can’t deny it
-Can’t help but admit it.
“That’s why I have to win even more!”
-???
-?
-Huh?
“Because it’s pathetic! I have to win to make it worthwhile! I hit a one-in-ten jackpot, and if I don’t place first this round, I’m done for!”
That was it.
I had sold my soul to win.
But now I couldn’t even win this round?
It was the worst.
I had just sold my soul for nothing.
Imagine making a contract with a demon and losing your soul without gaining anything in return.
Who would pity me?
They would only mock me.
Hahahahahahahaha
-The logic is hilarious lol
-True though
-This is seriously desperate…
-Bro, just deploy your glider
Whiiiiiing!
As Balloon Gum plummeted through the air, slicing through the wind with fierce determination, his expression was brimming with intensity.
“Hrrgh!”
Fwap!
Balloon Gum successfully deploys his hang glider perfectly and lands without a hitch.
“Ohhh!”
Clap clap.
Almond applauds as he watches the landing.
-Clapping for that lol
-Isn’t he mocking him?
Hahahahaha, this is hilarious
-Landing is something you’re supposed to do anyway lol
Though some mistook it for mockery, Almond was sincere.
‘This feels good.’
I had already trained my body quite well alongside Balloon Gum.
Just witnessing his successful landing made me feel optimistic about this round.
At least we wouldn’t waste time reviving the Rune Spirit here, would we?
Chocosong and another teammate land next.
Finally, Let Me Tank lands.
She had jumped down late, bewildered because her main avatar was suddenly banned.
“Why are you so late?”
“Well, I have something to say…”
“Let’s move out. We’re running out of time!”
I cut off her words and pressed forward.
-Lol what a move
-Should I say he looks smart…?
-The commander? A brilliant young man
-Brilliant Youth’s momentum is unstoppable~!

* * *
Almond’s teammates quickly rushed toward the weapon chest.
The distribution began.
Almond, Balloon Gum, and Chocosong—the three of them naturally picked up their weapons as if water flowing downstream.
Almond took the bow, Balloon Gum the shield, and Chocosong the staff.
Let Me Tank hesitated for a moment before finally picking up a blunt weapon.
It was the perfect weapon to become a Mace Paladin.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do this?”
Another teammate beside her whispered.
“Ah… I… I didn’t realize…”
Let Me Tank scratched her head.
‘…Well, the big streamers told me to do it. What can I do.’
That was it.
She was someone who couldn’t easily go against what the major streamers said.
What?
You’re asking if such a person exists?
[Current Viewers: 308]
She was a small-time streamer.
The ones commonly called “haggos.”
That was it.
Ding.
[OO donated 1,000 won.]
[Nut Shake definitely messed up on purpose, right?]
Let Me Tank.
She was a streamer running a small broadcast on Paprika.
“Um, e-everyone. Please refrain from mentioning Tas, okay?”
-Tas? It’s right next to us lol
-But I can see it right there how can we not mention it lol
-Does that mean don’t watch the broadcast???
“Ah, no. Why wouldn’t you watch the broadcast? Just… don’t mention it… haha…”
She was completely terrified right now.
The streamer of streamers.
The dream collaboration partner for all comprehensive game streamers—Balloon Gum—was already overwhelming enough.
And now Almond, who had recently risen to become a major streamer…!
‘Chocosong is also far above me.’
Compared to them, even Chocosong’s broadcast, which was infinitely smaller, felt like a towering mountain to Let Me Tank.
She began making excuses on behalf of Almond.
“Well, Almond is a hero of the international tournament, and he’s not that kind of person…”
-lol for real
-They say he’s smart?
-Is that wrong?
What nonsense lol, King Broke for sure 100% lol
Nothing was more terrifying than hearing negative comments about a major Streamer on your own broadcast.
‘Ugh… w-wait, I’m getting dizzy.’
Someone once said it.
Those unprepared cannot seize opportunities even when they arrive.
Let Me Tank was in exactly that situation right now.
-Hesitating makes it boring
-Ugh frustrating, it’d be more fun if you went in confidently
-Just say it outright, I’m a Master! I don’t want to play Paladin!
-Let’s hear Mom’s Spaghetti once before we go
Are you saying he made it happen? lol Obviously he got banned on purpose lol
The Viewers were also frustrated with her attitude.
“Excuse me? Are you alright?”
Almond approached and asked, noticing Let Me Tank’s expression looked too anxious.
‘She’s a precious talent.’
Daegam’s way of taking good care of talented people.
Let Me Tank suddenly cried out.
“Ugh… honestly! You’re so handsome, so it’s fine! That’s it!? Why are you all making a fuss?”
“…?”
-?
-…?
-Huh…
Let me’s speech bubble changed.
Hahahahahahaha
hahaha
-lol so funny lol
-?
Almond-shaped expression lol
“Y-yes…? This, is this the broadcast channel… uh… what do I do…”
Almond watched her for a moment, then offered her comfort.
“Everyone’s like that at first. They panic so much, and they worry too. What if it’s not fun? That kind of anxiety. Everyone has it.”
“…!”
Let Me’s eyes widened.
‘A, a Senior Streamer’s advice!’
Almond was giving her advice.
‘He knows I’m a Streamer!?’
She broadcasts from Paprika, not even Cheese. How does he know about a broadcast with only 300 viewers?
It must be because of that mistake from earlier?
“Even if it’s a bit awkward and tough, everyone says it when the game ends.”
“Yes…”
I nodded, trying to engrave it in my heart.
“Ah, I made the right choice becoming a Tank.”
“…?”
Huh?
-??
-?
hahahahahaha
Haha, did this guy just not hear what I said?
Hahahahahahaha
Were you talking about the tanker?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’m just thinking about tanking it in my head lol
I thought it was career advice lol
‘What is this… what kind of advice is this?’
Almond simply thought Let Me Tank had shouted because he hated being a Tank.
He hadn’t actually heard the content properly.
“You know what they say? Because it hurts. You Tank.”
It was simply telling me to be a Tank.
hahahahahaha
Hahaha
Playing tank does hurt though lol
Damn, haha
Balloon Gum approached from beside me and chimed in.
Clack.
Raising his shield.
“No pain, no gain. No Tank, no damage.”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
-Ah, we’re getting insurance for 4 Tanks~ Come join the Tank company~
Hahahahaha
While Let Me Tank listened to the Department Managers’ grand speech about Tanking like this.
Whoosh.
One other Teammate besides Almond, Balloon Gum, Chocosong, and Let Me Tank.
He quietly picked up an Assassin’s blade.
“Hey.”
Chocosong stopped him.
“…!?”
He was startled while reaching for the blade.
“Ah, no, I was just… just looking at some items…”
“Did I commit a sin or something? lol”
-Why’s the atmosphere like this lol
-lol we left the tank role to them lol
“I, I really am going to tank. But right now I don’t have a shield, do I?”
“Well, a spear is also a very good option.”
“No, I already picked up a mace. If I pick up a spear too, what do I do? I need to think about fighting before we even have a contract!?”
Chocosong and her teammate were in a heated debate.
Almond tilted his head.
“Hmm?”
A face and voice I’d seen somewhere before.
I couldn’t forget this voice.
‘This is….’
The nickname was even more unforgettable.
[Bontovi]
It was slightly different, but I was certain about this.
“…Bontovi?”
“!”
My teammate startled and turned around at those words.
“Aha… Hello? I, I didn’t turn the channel to meet you….”
This couldn’t be.
It was Bontovi, who had run the A-rank race together in Civil Empire.
Currently helping Juhyeok with his work while doing some streaming on the side.
During the Civil M playthrough, there had been this suspicion about him.
-Isn’t he Balloon Gum’s cousin?
In other words… he was a Commander with skill on par with Balloon Gum.
‘What… what is this?’
I was dumbfounded.
‘How are Balloon Gum and Bontovi on the same team?’
The final round of the placement test.
The legend of the matching algorithm was real.
-Is this really Bontovi???
-Is this that Bontovi? The one Chiseung brought?lol
-Isn’t this insane lol
-Bontovi lol now Bonto is B lol
-Lol
-Wow…
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain incomplete or corrupted Korean characters (ㄷㄷ are just consonants without vowels), making it impossible to translate accurately.
-Shouldn’t Bontovi be given arrows?
-lol I watch Bontovi’s stream sometimes, so cute
-Wow lol
My chat was on the verge of exploding.
-Dopamine explosion lololololol
-Should we pre-click mission failed?
-Classic last-minute placement lololol
-Legend legend legend~ lololol
-This time too, just go as an archer with bow in hand?
-Russian roulette, got a real bullet!
-lololololololololololololololololol ahahahalol
-Looks like Troll’s getting his act together lololol
Of course, it was the numerous Viewers who had wagered money on the mission.
They had essentially bet on Almond’s defeat.
From the users on the survival forums trying to create issues with low risk, to the genuine Nut Clan members who just wanted to mock Almond.
-The hopeless trinity wins~! lololololololololololololol
No one could help but cheer at this fantastic lineup.
‘Ugh… wait, my head is spinning.’
Even Almond felt momentarily dizzy, as if I might stumble.
‘No, that’s not it.’
Almond shook my head vigorously and barely regained my senses.
‘Bontovi… would actually be better than some nameless Troll.’
Still, Bontovi was a player with clear strengths.
Once he learned one thing, he could mindlessly repeat only that.
Probably.
“Let’s start by picking up a sword.”
Almond had Bontovi pick up a sword first.
“Ah, yes.”
Bontovi’s words made sense.
I couldn’t just think about after the contract.
Even when just picking up a weapon now, the team’s balance needed to be somewhat maintained.
Even if not a gun, picking up at least a sword would pose an assassination threat and prevent the enemy dealers from free-dealing.
“But we’ll switch later.”
“…What?”
“I have a sure-win strategy.”
I didn’t mention that it was four tanks and one dealer.
“Let’s go for now.”
-Sure-win for real? lol
-Balloon Gum, Chocosong, Bontovi let’s go lololol
-So this is a suicide squad, right?
-The hopeless trinity enters!
-lololololololol ahahahalol so reassuring Bontovi!!
-Fact) it’s a 1-win strategy
-lololololololol look at Almond’s expression
