The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 262
86. The Big Catch (3)
‘How could this be.’
My eyes trembled slightly.
Now that I thought about it, it made sense.
「Ah~ It’s been a while」
Pangeo had mentioned before as if he came to Japan frequently.
Moreover, though somewhat awkwardly, he spoke Japanese quite well.
There were many times we’d go to hidden restaurants where English didn’t work, or when communicating with Whiskey, I’d relay messages through Pangeo.
But there were so many Japanese speakers in our country, and so many people who frequently visited Japan, that I simply hadn’t thought about it.
‘His mother is Japanese!’
The fact that Pangeo’s mother was Japanese.
At that moment, my mind naturally flashed through all the statements he’d made so far.
「Because of the faction, Japanese soldiers gradually became a bit shorter.」
「I guess so. They were just small. I didn’t realize that was a faction…!」
「It’s true. They’re really small. I mean, I’m not trying to say they’re intentionally small, they’re just genuinely small.」
And so on.
All the numerous blunders I’d (accidentally) uttered so far.
Even these words spread through broadcasts and were endlessly shared on communities, becoming abbreviated terms like “small-view” and “true-true-small”.
Parody videos were even made using them to mock Japanese people.
It was just like the usual playful rivalry between nations through sports competitions.
But now that the older brother I knew well right beside me had a Japanese mother, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable about it.
hahahahahaha
Almond-shaped expression lol
My eyes are about to pop out of my head lol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
The viewers were busy teasing me, perhaps because my inner turmoil was written all over my face.
‘You all made fun of it too!’
…That retort almost burst out of my mouth, but I held back.
The reporter suddenly shoved the microphone in my face.
As if delivering the final blow to vanquish the Demon King, she asked me with a solemn expression.
“Ah, did you know about this, Almond?”
An urgent tone and a tense expression.
She clearly decided she couldn’t take the blame alone and turned the microphone toward me.
Let’s die together lol
Reporter’s seat lol finally a chance for revenge
Haha, suddenly going to Almond.
I shook my head with a heavy heart.
“I… thought he was good at Japanese. But I didn’t know about this either.”
“Ah~”
The Reporter let out a smirk, her expression asking, “So that’s what happened?”
Hahahahaha
lol that expression is so funny
“The aggro ping-pong here is crazy.”
-Am I the only one who didn’t know? Seriously
-Teacher! Punish this one too!
This was the evolved Reporter—no longer just taking hits, but fighting back.
“Ahem! N-next question… Um. First, Spam!”
The Reporter asked Spam for his thoughts on winning the Game 1 MVP.
“Yes, yes!”
Spam stepped forward, his face flushed red as if he was shy about something.
The way he kept glancing at the Reporter showed she was on his mind.
“Spam.”
“Yes!”
“In Game 1, with that brilliant….”
“Yes, yes!”
“…close-range archery, you overcame the crisis….”
“Yes, yes!”
“…didn’t you?”
“Yes!”
Spam was answering before the Reporter could even finish her sentences.
He seemed determined to answer enthusiastically no matter what.
-???
haha
-What is Spam doing
Lol yeah, end stage of being broke
-Is he a subordinate employee or something
awkward lol
The reporter’s expression lol
The Reporter blinked, flustered by this new type of villain’s appearance.
“S-so, how do you feel about it?”
“Yes! My thoughts! Ah… Almond taught me really well! It went well… It turned out great!”
-…?
Lol just talking nonsense
Anyway, it worked out well lol
-???
“Ah… Did Almond!”
“Yes!”
“Teach you something?”
“Yes!”
“…?”
“?”
The Reporter couldn’t distinguish between Aamond’s filler responses and actual answers.
“Ah. Y-yes, you did answer.”
“Yes!”
“Ah, I understand.”
The PD frantically waved his hand.
It was a signal that the interview would be difficult at this rate.
‘Oh.’
The Reporter hastily redirected her microphone.
Whoosh.
The microphone turned toward….
‘Again… it’s you. The demon of interviews….’
Aamond.
Knowing it wasn’t his turn to attack this time, Aamond wore an oddly unsettling smile.
To her, it felt like he was asking, ‘Is that all? Hero?’
Naturally, it was entirely the Reporter’s perspective.
She gripped the microphone with both hands as if her eyes were squeezed shut, and asked him.
“U…ah, Aamond, how did you feel about your performance in the 2nd match!!”
-?
What the…ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what is this?ㅋㅋ
Did Mike get to like 50 kilos or something? lol
Nah lol, I’m dying (laughing)
What the heck?ㅋㅋㅋ
Mike’s demon used its power… It increased the weight.
-???: Hoo… enduring it?
“Ah, yes. The 2nd match performance….”
In truth, I couldn’t recall it.
I had fought five matches, and there were hardly any among those many battles where I hadn’t performed.
“…what was that?”
Hahahahaha
-oh
I can’t even remember it lol
-feels like Sang-hyun Yu’s 12893rd girlfriend~
ㅋㅋ (kk) is Korean internet slang for laughter, similar to “haha” or “lol.”
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 116]
The full line “-ㅁㅊㅋㅋ” appears to be incomplete or corrupted text, but the “ㅋㅋ” at the end would translate to laughter.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 118]
A more complete translation would be: “haha” or “lol”
“That… was the 2nd match naval battle. You infiltrated the enemy’s main base alone and swept through all the workers.”
“Ah…! Yes.”
“Please share your thoughts on that.”
“It was good because I could kill many workers.”
“….”
-Killing lots of workers is pretty nice~
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-Breaking news) Almond was happy he could kill so many Japanese
Hahahahaha
No, haha
Are you serious? lol
“Is, is that all?”
“Honestly, from my perspective, I didn’t have time to see how the second match unfolded. I couldn’t participate in the naval battle, and at the main base I really just killed workers….”
“Yes! I understand…!”
The Reporter thought she’d managed to get through this without issue.
‘Was it because I broke his spirit from the start?’
She believed that confusing Almond during Pangeo’s interview at the beginning had contributed to drawing out this reasonable answer.
It might have actually been true. Sanghyeon was still repeating in the back of his mind that Pangeo’s mother was Japanese….
However, she was deeply mistaken about something.
She had briefly forgotten while focused on the interview.
The point where problems always occurred.
She only realized it after reading the next line of the script.
‘…Oh.’
What was written on this paper wasn’t a question, but a summoning circle for demons.

Her voice began trembling noticeably.
“Joseon’s next semifinal opponent has been decided.”
This was a question about the next opponent.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 148]
* * *
“Certainly….”
After Joseon’s victory was confirmed, Hee-cheol immediately reviewed the next opponent’s match.
He sat on the hospital bed and nodded to himself.
“Just as impressive as the power rankings suggest.”
He stared intently at the screen as if searching for something, trying to find a path forward.
“Guk Hee-cheol.”
Just then, a Nurse entered and called out to him.
“Yes.”
“You’re cleared to be discharged.”
Hee-cheol picked up the luggage he’d packed and slung it over one shoulder.
“I’m glad your recovery has been so smooth.”
“It’s thanks to your hard work.”
Hee-cheol glanced around the hospital room with a wry smile. He certainly looked far healthier than when he’d first been admitted. At least for now, anyway.
He gazed at the hospital room’s scenery and spoke bitterly to himself.
‘When I come back next time….’
If he came back again, he might not be able to leave safely like this.
“Um….”
“?”
The Nurse called out and stopped him as he was leaving the room.
“Are you competing in the semifinals?”
She asked because she was also aware of the international tournament.
It wasn’t out of concern for his health. Unlike Sarang or Sanghyeon, Hee-cheol’s physical condition actually had nothing to do with the game at all.
“Ah….”

“I’m not sure.”
“Ah, so you’re not going to tell me.”
“Haha.”
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 177]
* * *
“Who’s my next opponent?”
Sanghyeon hadn’t confirmed the results yet, so I asked.
“It’s China.”
-Tsk
Haha lol
Korea, China, and Japan are crazy.
Before the neighboring country’s destruction lol
-Sigh;
Mali should have come so it would be a bit easier ㅠㅠ
China.
The third-ranked civilization in power rankings, after Mongolia and Rome.
In actual history, it was a massive nation that held tremendous influence in medieval Asia.
Naturally, it wasn’t an easy opponent even in Civil Empire.
First, the professional market size itself was incomparable.
While Korea had no professional market at all, China’s market was so massive that they actively bought and sold foreign players.
China’s esports market truly lived up to the title of world’s largest, and Civil Empire was no exception.
Even retro fighting games that were dying out in Korea had professional scenes in China with enormous sums of money flowing through them.
The professional market for Civil Empire, which enjoyed respectable popularity worldwide, was beyond comparison.
‘China…’
Since Sanghyeon was someone who had aimed for the Olympics, I understood well the status China held in sports.
It felt like there was definitely more pressure than when I heard Japan was the opponent.
The Ottoman Empire, which Japan proudly boasted about defeating, was ranked fourth in power rankings.
China was ranked third, above that.
Beyond that were only Rome and Mongolia, who were practically beyond the human realm.
That’s why there was a term in the Civil Empire industry for China’s national team.
‘Strongest in the human realm.’
It meant the most powerful team within realistic boundaries.
“Moreover, China crushed Mali 3-0 to advance!”
They even had momentum on their side.
Mali was Africa’s dark horse civilization, a place that wouldn’t lose even compared to Japan.
Yet they had defeated Mali 3-0.
“China is the strongest team we’ve faced so far. Many people are saying this! And especially! A Chinese player gave this interview!?”
“?”
Now that I thought about it, the Chinese player must have already finished their interview.
Sanghyeon tilted my head curiously.
“Historically! Joseon has never defeated China!”
-Haha
The continent’s provocation lol
-Ugh, Chinese arrogance
-Ugh…
-Hmm, is that so?
-I don’t know about Goguryeo, but Joseon seems plausible
-Tsk tsk, you don’t know anything. You Chinese fools. No one has ever beaten Joseon!
-Ugh…
“What do you think, Almond?”
“Ah, yes. Well… there’s no competing with sheer numbers.”
After making a surprisingly reasonable comment about China’s advantage, he continued.
“But Civil M has a 200-person limit.”
-Haha
-Lol for real
-What else is there without human wave tactics~~~!!lol
-To repeat history, China would need like 1000 more capsules lollol
-Facts
-Pushing with headcount alone lollol
-Can’t they just win by putting a Xi Jinping skin on a shield??? Seriously don’t know
It wasn’t what Sanghyeon intended.
The moment his words ended, a sudden roar erupted.
“Waaaaaaa!”
“Hoooooo!”
Sanghyeon naturally assumed it was the Korean audience section and looked over.
It wasn’t the Korean audience section.
The cheers had erupted from the Japanese audience section.
They were responding after seeing his words translated and displayed as subtitles.
-Why are they cheering lol
-Oh lol
-The enemy of my enemy is my ally!
-Korea-China-Japan bloody love triangle
-Lollol
‘They’re still here?’
Sanghyeon actually felt a pang of guilt toward the Japanese audience, so he was flustered by the mere fact that they remained.
Sanghyeon couldn’t say anything and just stood there blankly.
Pangeo beside him made a sarcastic remark.
“China really is popular! Look at all that cheering! Hahaha!”
The Reporter habitually responded to his comment.
“Haha! Is that so?! Everyone really does love China that much?”
She had mistaken China for Civil M’s ‘Chinese civilization.’
Since China was so strong, she assumed the civilization was popular.
Pangeo, delighted, added more.
“Yes! In the entire world! Is there any country that dislikes China?!”
“That’s right! The entire world….”
Huh?
The Reporter only then realized something had gone wrong.
-??
-Lolololol
-Is it Mac? Lololol
-???: It’s a huge catch!
-Lololol
-???: Temporal Storm is truly the best!!
-Lololololol
-Lololololololololol
