The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 81
29. Unveiling Almond’s Story (2)
Almond’s face dominated the screen in large letters.
[MVP: Aamond]
The commentators nodded in agreement as expected.
“Ahhhhh…! MVP! It’s Aamond as expected!?”
“That’s right. Actually, up until the midgame flow, Cookie might have received it, but this final moment he showed us!”
As King Gul spoke, the screen changed.
It was a scene of Almond receiving arrows shot from the defensive tower while shooting at enemies.
“This scene alone is enough to earn the MVP! I think everyone would agree!”
It was a scene of overcoming the defensive tower’s limited range.
“Ah, yes. In fact, this strategy didn’t come from Cookie—it was an on-the-spot judgment!?”
On-the-spot judgment? So it wasn’t something prepared in advance?
The commentators and viewers, who naturally assumed it was a pre-planned strategy, were taken aback.
“What? Really?”
“Yes. We’ll probably need to confirm the exact details in the interview, but according to the observers, there were no orders given to Cookie.”
-Crazy
-Insane
-This wasn’t coordinated beforehand??
-Huh??
Executing a strategy created through improvisation to this degree was absolutely not an easy feat.
“The pressure must have been immense! Truly remarkable!?”
“Indeed. If even one shot had missed here, the time window from the defensive tower would have changed the outcome significantly. Not a single shot was off.”
“And the person shooting! Danggeun too! She tossed the arrows at a perfect angle where they wouldn’t break—incredibly sharp execution!”
“Exactly. But the fact that they coordinated this on the spot… they truly deserve the MVP. Ah, the interview is starting now. Let’s watch.”
On the screen, Almond and the Reporter appeared together.
* * *
From the moment Almond and the Reporter stood side by side to frame the shot, I could already feel the chat erupting with excitement.
-Creepy
-Here it comes… the real game.
The reporter’s extreme job begins lol
This guy is so funny just standing still at the mic ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
King Gul is already trying not to laugh lolol
Quite a few people were anticipating his interview.
The Reporter glanced nervously at the chat and steeled herself.
‘Okay. Let’s get through this smoothly.’
She exchanged signals with the camera Director for a moment.
‘I’m ready.’
‘Really… can you handle this?’
‘Yes…! Someone has to do it!’
The two nodded solemnly.
Once the Director gave the okay signal, the Reporter opened with a bright, resonant voice.
“Yes~! Almond! Congratulations on the MVP selection! Two MVPs in a row!”
“Ah, yes. Thank you.”
So far so good.
Good. I’m doing well.
Then came the first question.
“First of all, I have to ask this! You showed an incredible ceremony at the very end, didn’t you? Could it be….”
That’s when the Reporter felt it.
A chill.
At the word “ceremony,” the thug’s mouth corners were already twitching ominously.
“Could you explain what that meant?”
Still, the Reporter finished the question.
In fact, if she didn’t ask after seeing that ceremony, it would look even stranger.
Almond smiled as if he’d anticipated the question, then paused for effect.
“Ah. The ceremony. Just a moment….”
“Yes~”
The Reporter mentally prepared herself by listing various possibilities about what he might say.
‘A sponsor came through? To show off archery skills? To threaten?’
She racked her brain with all sorts of guesses, but without knowing there was a bounty on his head, her speculation was all for nothing.
Sure enough, her efforts crumbled to dust in an instant.
Almond’s answer completely missed her expectations.
“One, one, seven, four, eight…”
“???”
Was he suddenly just spouting random numbers?
‘What, what is this….’
-???
-That’s the summoning spell for the interview demon lol
-What the heck lol
-Oh this is insane lol
-Lmao
-What’s he trying to do now lol
-The number of girlfriends he’s dated so far, you antisocial bastards lol
The viewers watching the broadcast had no idea what Almond was even talking about.
They could only tell that he was reading something displayed on a screen visible only to him.
“Six… nine….”
Since they couldn’t see what it was, there was no way to know.
But that curiosity didn’t last long.
The answer lay in what he added at the end.
“…Hope Bank. Account number.”
“???”
The reporter blinked in bewilderment.
What these numbers meant.
To anyone’s eyes, it was clearly an account number.
-Lmaooo
-Hahahaha lol
-A bounty?!
A few viewers who knew about the existence of the bounty were already bursting into laughter.
But the reporter didn’t know, so she had no choice but to ask again.
“Um, um… may I ask what this is?”
It wasn’t that she didn’t know if it was really an account number.
She was asking why he suddenly mentioned an account number.
“Oh, it’s the bounty placed on me. I’m asking them to deposit it there.”
“A bounty?”
“Yes. Spain placed a bounty on me, you see.”
Only then did the reporter recall the question she had asked earlier.
“So that performance with shooting an arrow through your head earlier… you were collecting your own bounty yourself!?”
Almond nodded with a slight smile.
-Hahahahahaha
-Lol
-Lmao
-Spain is dying lol
-How many times is he killing them!
-Why are you killing them so much! Almond!
The reporter’s eyes widened.
“Wow!”
Half awe, half bewilderment.
The method was absurd, but it amounted to killing Spain twice regardless!
It was nothing short of a devilish interview!
“G-great! That account number! I want to transfer money too!”
-??
-Why you?
-Face ID again…?
I can’t translate this as it’s not standard Korean text – it appears to be corrupted or garbled characters.
-A man who gets his bank account number leaked instead of his phone number…
The reporter’s face flushed at the nonsense that had slipped out, and she moved on to the next question.
“Ah, I… I’m hearing for the first time that Spain put a bounty on you! Could you tell me what happened?”
“I don’t know the details either. Apparently Spain’s viewers put a bounty on me because they didn’t like my interview.”
“Ah. So they said whoever kills Almond first gets paid? Something like that?”
“Yes.”
“Wow… You haven’t died even once in such a situation!”
“No. I died once.”
“Pardon?”
What? Died?
The reporter’s eyes trembled as she tried to recall if there was something else she didn’t know.
Even if the bounty was outside the game, this was something that happened in-game. Not knowing would be dereliction of duty.
But—
“I killed myself at the end.”
“Ah….”
Ugh….
She felt relieved yet somehow victimized.
Curve shot interview lol
Hahaha, looks like they’re actually planning to accept it.
Wow, that’s crazy lol, a breaking ball
A guy who doesn’t say anything that can be used against him lol
-The concept should be pushed through heavy~ ! This is Almond!
“G-great! Almond! You’re truly amazing!”
Haha, are you okay/what’s wrong with you?
-Trying to gloss over with forced praise? No way!
That’s seriously amazing lolololol
“Moving on to the next question!”
To the reporter’s great relief, the subsequent interview proceeded with standard questions.
“Following the France match last time, you’ve received MVP through the Spain match as well, haven’t you? Could you give us a brief comment on that?”
“Thank you for the award, and I hope to receive it again next time.”
Her answer was straightforward and simple enough.
The reporter thought she had finally escaped the shackles and constraints of this hellish interview. With that thought, she posed her final question.
“I wonder if anyone here is thinking about who would have gotten the MVP if it wasn’t for Almond today?”
“Ah….”
I paused to consider for a moment.
Who should I mention?
Cookie?
In the previous match, that would have certainly been the case, but this time someone else came to mind.
It would have to be….
“Danggeun.”
It was Danggeun.
This match was one where her on-field command truly shone.
I figured they’d probably ask me why Danggeun was chosen, so I had already prepared an explanation for that.
The reporter blinked her eyes, still seeming to wait for an answer.
What’s going on?
“?”
I tilted my head in confusion.
Why wasn’t she asking a follow-up question, and why wasn’t she saying anything at all?
Then the reporter smiled, nodded, and held the microphone back toward me.
As if encouraging me to continue speaking.
“?”
For a moment, I even thought she might have glitched.
I kept tilting my head, clearly confused about what was happening.
Then, it seemed something was communicated to the reporter through an earpiece. She pressed one ear and her eyes widened.
“Oh! Oh! Oh! So you meant Danggeun Cake!”
So she had been referring to the player called Danggeun Cake.
-Did she mishear it as “of course” or something?
I can’t translate this as it’s not a coherent Korean phrase. It appears to be keyboard characters/symbols rather than actual words.
That’s not it lol
Of course! (silence) hahahaha
“I apologize. I didn’t realize that Danggeun was that Danggeun….”
“Pardon? Is there another Danggeun?”
“Ah… well….”
Where do I even start explaining this? lol
A total mess lol
This guy here can’t understand what I’m saying again lol
Another… Danggeun…?
The reporter’s expression became completely vacant, as if her soul had left her body.
In the almond shake game, there’s zero luck involved lol, but in the interview, the luck just went crazy lol.
Hahahahaha (laughing)
-Haha, how can someone’s name be Carrot? Haha~
-So who threatened them with a carrot to change their nickname to Blade?
Who’s gonna end this interview already lol
She gave up trying to explain and simply continued with her next question.
“Ahem… Anyway! What was your reason for selecting Danggeun as the MVP? Was it perhaps because she provided significant support during the defensive tower rush?”
“Yes. Danggeun handled almost all the on-site calls. It was also Danggeun who told me to receive the arrows she shot and use them.”
-Ohhh….
Ah, so that was carrot’s doing lol
Shout out to carrot lol
‘It wasn’t a prepared strategy?’
The Reporter couldn’t help but be astonished that Almond’s arrow-catching and shooting wasn’t something they’d prepared in advance.
The execution was far too clean for something improvised.
Not only Danggeun’s concentration as she fired arrows to Almond, but also Almond, who received them one by one and shot down the workers.
It was a skilled movement as if they’d practiced it countless times.
“Huh? Was that strategy improvised on the spot?”
“Yes.”
“Wow! With such remarkable skill, I naturally assumed you were executing a prepared plan?!”
“Ah, yes. No, it wasn’t. The strategy we’d practiced was different… It’s a shame it ended so quickly in the first era.”
hahahahaha
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-Espana crying
-???: Could’ve beaten them more, but died first, what a shame
-Next time cast “Rise up Hassan” and beat them harder
Lol those Spanish kids are gonna lose their minds when they see this ㅋㅋㅋ
“Ah! The opponent died too quickly, what a shame! You’re speaking with such confidence! As a supporter, I can’t help but look forward to the next Rome match! Well then, let’s wrap up the interview here!”
The Reporter rattled off her words and ended the interview.
-??
It feels like I rushed through it or something lol
He’s running away lol
Why aren’t you asking me about my determination regarding Rome? ㅋㅋ
-If this Reporter asked about his resolve toward Rome, she’d probably get a lawsuit from Vatican City lol~
* * *
After the interview concluded, team feedback was conducted.
Sanghyeon emerged from the capsule nearly three to four hours after the match began, around evening.
Whoosh.
“Phew.”
The moment he stepped out, Juhyeok applauded without fail.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
“Hey. Well done. You even got MVP this time.”
It was exactly like a coach encouraging a boxer descending from the ring.
“Thanks to you, our channel actually has content to upload even during the season. You have no idea how great that is.”
The international tournament was an official match with separate broadcasting rights contracts.
Because of this, unlike the Nantes match, individuals had to wait some time before uploading their gameplay footage to their channels. It was a kind of embargo.
This meant that while Almond was competing in the international tournament, there might not have been any videos to upload at all….
[Almond Interview Number Revealed!? Reporter’s Eyes Widen]
If he gets selected for MVP and receives an interview opportunity like this, then he has content to upload.
-Wait lol was that a bank account number lol
-The international tournament was fun~ I watched it all~
-Ah, as expected from Almond’s channel! You throw away the shell of the international tournament and upload only the essence haha
Good reactions were already pouring in.
In fact, many people were saying this interview was the true essence of the international tournament.
“Oh….”
Almond scrolled through the comments.
Huh?
Then, among those comments, one Spanish comment caught Almond’s eye.
-la recompensa será depositada
It was a Spanish comment that was rapidly gaining likes.
When translated, it meant this:
-The reward will be deposited.
