The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 79
25. The Masked King of Archery (3)
Almond had urgently mentioned he could bring a Coach, but that didn’t mean he could bring her right away.
‘This doesn’t seem like it’ll work out….’
Unlike the Coaches that Danmuji and others brought, I wasn’t personally close to her, and I didn’t know much about what she did in her spare time.
The only thing I was certain about was that she was incredibly skilled at Ril, so I made a strong pitch for her.
“Brother?”
Everyone expressed their doubts to Almond.
They were asking why he wasn’t responding.
“Um… Maybe she’s, she’s busy?”
Almond vaguely assumed she must be busy since she was such an impressive person.
“Did you actually confirm this with her?”
Goguma voiced his concern.
“Yeah. We did confirm it.”
“You really did confirm it, right? You didn’t threaten her or anything.”
“Yeah. She said she wanted to do it first.”
“You didn’t trick her into it, did you?”
-kkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkk
-Threatenedkkkkkk
-kkkkkk Kids who’ve trained right next to Seok would be like that kkk
-The suspicion of those who’ve been fertilized…
-Goguma lol kkk
-Everyone at Seok’s place volunteers wanting to become Bioyeokto…
Almond explained at some length that she had brought up the topic first, and he’d accepted because he thought it was a good opportunity.
Only then did Goguma seem satisfied.
“Really? Is that so? Then wouldn’t she be watching this broadcast?”
If she was that enthusiastic, she wouldn’t miss the first day of this collab with the Knight Order.
“She’s busy, so… she probably isn’t watching something like this at this time.”
-?
-…?
-‘Something like this’kkkkkkk
-100k unemployed extreme dpskkkkkkk
-What is it kkk
-Lolkkkkkkkkk
-What do you mean ‘something like this’! Nut Fans are shook!
ㅠㅠㅠㅠ (or -ㅠㅠㅠㅠ) represents crying or tears in Korean text/emoticon form. A natural English translation would be:

T_T

or

or simply:

crying / in tears

Meanwhile, Choi Sa-rang tilted her head in confusion.
“…?”
Contrary to what she’d assumed—that she’d be swamped—she found herself watching this at such an hour.
“Good grief.”
It was absurd, yet seeing Almond struggle so earnestly to recommend her felt oddly endearing.
He wasn’t the type to articulate things smoothly, so his attempts at persuasion looked genuinely difficult.
After all, entrusting a coaching position to some mysterious Ril player who wouldn’t even reveal her nickname was no simple ask.
It was a tough sell indeed.
Pfft.
A smile played at the corners of her lips.
‘Watching him struggle is kind of fun.’
There was something satisfying about seeing Almond fumble around.
‘I’ll let him keep trying.’
She could step in and solve this easily enough, but she decided to let him work it out himself.
Wasn’t watching moments like this part of the entertainment value of streaming?
As she continued chuckling and observing, something occurred to her.
‘Something….’
Without realizing it, Sarang’s hand reached for the phone beside her.
She had a feeling it would come soon.
Zing.
[Almond]
A call came through.
Sarang instinctively reached for the phone, but then—
‘Oh.’
She hesitated for a moment.
「That person is busy… they wouldn’t be watching something like this at this hour.」
Was it because of what he’d said earlier?
Answering the call immediately suddenly felt embarrassing.
“Uh, hmm.”
She waited a moment.
Zing… zing….

With that thought, she answered the call.
“Hello.”
-Oh. You picked up quickly?
“Not really.”
-…What?
Almond had merely meant that she’d answered on his first attempt, describing it as picking up quickly.
But she was saying that wasn’t the case.
I felt an inexplicable heat rise at her claim that I’d answered quickly, so I spoke more curtly than intended.
“I didn’t answer quickly. I’m busy, so just tell me what you need.”
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 91]
* * *
‘What’s that about?’
Almond was slightly taken aback.
Why was she emphasizing so strongly that he hadn’t answered quickly?
‘Does she have the physical capability to answer even faster?’
From what Almond could tell, Choi Sa-rang was someone with tremendous pride in her abilities.
‘For her, even answering a phone call was a matter of skill.’
Almond reached this conclusion and
“No, that’s not it—you really did answer incredibly fast.”
decided to comfort her.
-…?
An odd, hesitant breathing sound came through the line.
“You answered so fast it was remarkable.”
-That’s not true.

-You haven’t seen what truly fast looks like.
Sarang refused to back down either.
But her opponent was an immovable wall.
“I haven’t. At that speed, I probably wouldn’t even see it.”
-…A-anyway, just tell me what you need.
When Sarang changed the subject, Almond broke into a victorious smile.
Smirk.
‘Comforting someone is harder than I thought.’
He figured she’d finally accepted the compliment about being fast.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 116]
* * *
When the call first connected, the viewers erupted in cheers.
-Ooooh
-It’s a woman
-Whoa
-She was a woman?
-The worst streamer in the world, Almond…
-Dammit…
I’d expected to hear a deep male voice when calling the Coach, but instead, a woman answered.
Who was this woman picking up?
The unexpected appearance of the opposite sex had everyone’s hearts racing.
-Is this the first time a woman Almond knows personally has shown up???
Phone dating is so awkward.
-Ooh
-Is she someone from the archery world?
-This social butterfly finally crossed the line… bringing a female friend as the Coach!?
-This isn’t the Devil’s Plan, Mond… let’s do this right…
Everyone pretended to curse Almond while secretly anticipating chemistry between the two.
But something felt off from the start of their conversation.
-?
-??
-Why didn’t he pick up quickly?
-Huh?
-Is this some inside joke between social butterflies? I’m a loner so I don’t get it…
Weren’t they just bickering about whether he picked up the phone quickly or not?
Ding.
[Motsol donated 10,000 won.]
[I’m a loner so I don’t understand, but that’s flirting, right? Hehe, from now on I should also tease women about not picking up my calls quickly~]
Hahahahahahaha
Hahaha
Can’t solve it lol
-Gichan…
Why are you twisting it so much? lol
Why aren’t you picking up the phone, seriously lol
It wasn’t just the viewers.
The Knight Order members watching from a distance were also whispering among themselves.
“Why are they so fixated on that?”
“No idea….”
“Is there a time bomb in the phone or something?”
Time bomb is fucking hilarious lol
-kkk
-hahaha kkk
“By the way, shouldn’t Streamer Almond let them know this is being broadcast?”
Goguma felt uneasy that the person on the other end of the call didn’t even know if this was being streamed.
“What if the two of them suddenly start flirting, huh~”
Ahahaha!
His words feigned concern, but he clearly seemed very excited.
-This guy kkk is totally hoping for it kkk
-The stream’s gonna explode
-Why do you like it so much kkk
-kkkkkkkkk this is insane kkk
-Then it really becomes the Devil’s Plan~
-The demon senior Gobong didn’t die after all…
Almond finally brought up the request for coaching.
“Would you coach our team?”
-Yes, of course.
The response came as if scripted.
Ooh.
The Knight Order members didn’t even know who the other person was, but they were thrilled nonetheless.
“Finally!”
“The call quality was bad, but the response was definitely quick!”
“That was fast, really fast.”
But the real problem came next.
Almond had to explain the current situation.
“This is… like a masked coach king? Something like that… we’re doing auditions among ourselves….”
He started rambling incoherently.
Actually, this wasn’t Almond’s fault.
Hadn’t I just come up with this system on the spot?
It was inherently difficult to explain.
-kkkkkkkkk haha k
-Masked coach king is insane kkkkk
-Coach king kkkkk
-The word “audition” is seriously so rude kkkkkkk
-Who would understand if you say masked coach king kkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkkkk asking for coaching but it’s actually auditions kkk
What came next was truly astonishing.
-Yes. I understand. I’ll participate.
The response came incredibly fast again!
‘They understood that?’
‘What?’
‘Huh?’
The Knight Order members were equally taken aback.
-?
-What?
-kkk?
-Just like that?
The viewers were shocked too.
-Damn face ID
-The damn face ID actually works on this person
-Disgusting face ID

As their conversation continued, Danmuji found himself thinking something.
‘Something’s still off, no matter how I look at it.’
Face ID or whatever—regardless of Almond’s way with words, the conversation itself was flowing far too smoothly.
He whispered to Goguma.
“Hey. I think she was watching the broadcast?”
“That’s why she picked up so fast, and understood the masked king thing?”
“Wait, what? Then…?”
Danmuji and Goguma locked eyes.
‘Why is she pretending she didn’t?’
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 217]
* * *
With this, all the coaches had been recruited.
“Should I call them in then?”
Danmuji spoke up.
He meant bringing in the coaches who had been recruited to Dis World.
‘Will it even work?’
Almond was troubled.
‘Can you have multiple accounts in Dis World?’
I knew that Ril didn’t allow duplicate accounts.
But what about Dis World?
Even if duplicate accounts were permitted, wouldn’t her physical data come through as is?
I couldn’t understand how Choi Sa-rang planned to make this work.
‘But she said she understood everything.’
Just like back then when I trusted everything the Commander said.
I decided to simply trust her.
And—
“Ahaha. Hello.”
“Nice to meet you~”
The coach candidates my teammates had called appeared.
The strongest candidate among them was Tae-hyeong Kim, who had previously been a colleague of Danmuji before recently transitioning to become a Coach.
“Oh? You’re Player Ottia, right?”
The person standing next to Hong-cha recognized who he was.
“Ah, yes, that’s correct.”
The person Hong-cha brought along had also been part of the professional scene in the past and was now an academy Coach—Deok-su Yun.
His nickname was ‘Kalkal’.
He’d earned it by primarily playing the Sword Avatar, or so the story goes.
“Are you Kalkal?”
“Ah, yes. You recognize me.”
“Of course. We’ve played against each other before.”
“That’s right.”
The number of people who could participate in the Ril professional scene was extremely limited, so even a connection through one degree of separation meant you knew each other.
The person Goguma brought along was also quite unexpected.
“At your service!”
“Oh! Kyung-tae?”
He’d brought a professional gamer currently serving in the military.
Though he hadn’t officially announced his retirement, it would be difficult to continue as a professional gamer even after his discharge.
It seemed he was trying to make an impression here and prepare to become a Streamer.
“I’m Kyung-tae Im, a Jungler who played as Cheongyeongchae. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
lol
-Wow, it’s been a while kkk
-Is this possible while serving in the military??
Everyone was curious about whether he could coach while serving in the military.
“Ah. I’m currently on end-of-service leave right before discharge, so time-wise things are good as long as I don’t engage in profit-generating activities.”
-Wow
-Already at the end of service?
-Already???
-Military service for men goes by so fast kkk
lol
What remained were Lemon and Almond.
“I’m not coming~”
Lemon hadn’t been specifically invited.
Ultimately, only the candidate Almond had selected hadn’t arrived yet.
At that moment, Almond felt a strange premonition.
‘Something… are they intentionally coming late?’
He’d sensed something odd in that conversation about speed.
Almond tilted his head, trying to recall his memories to understand why he had such a premonition.
Ding.
Finally, they appeared.
“Hello.”
“!”
A woman with long black hair stepped forward.
