The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 043
15. Union vs. Complement (1)
When Almond drew his sword.
Balloon Gum tried to block that blade.
Of course, he failed.
What he blocked wasn’t the sword—it was the Senior’s path forward.
Thwack!
-This is so funny lol
Hahahahaha, that’s hilarious!
Balloon gum-style salvation narrative lol
The Senior, who had been desperately trying to flee, was blocked by an invisible wall and flattened against it.
Almond’s blade flashed brilliantly.
“No, no, no, no!”
Balloon Gum shrieked.
Is that all? lol
I’m literally dying laughing.
Haha, oh haha
Contrary to Balloon Gum’s shriek, the chat was flooded with nothing but laughter.
“No, no… wait. Hold on.”
But at that moment, a single realization brushed past Balloon Gum’s mind.
If the Senior died here, wouldn’t that prove his innocence?
A major character in the story couldn’t possibly die from just one hit like some minor henchman of the mastermind.
‘That’s it!’
Balloon Gum understood.
The Senior dying here would be the very proof of his innocence.
“Yes! Go ahead and die! Prove your innocence through death!”
-??
lol
What’s with the stance change lol
But the world thoroughly denied his wish. In every possible way.
Whoosh.
Almond’s vigorously swung demon-slaying sword passed right through the Senior.
The donation that had been continuously reciting the gum commandments burst at precisely that moment—purely by coincidence in timing.
Ding!
[ComfyGumStory donated 10,000 won.]
[If he says you shall die, you shall live. If he says you shall live, you shall die.]
Ding!
[GumCommandment donated 5,000 won.]
[Incur his resentment. It shall be worth more than ten million soldiers.]
Hahahahahaha
-Perfect timing lol
-Our ancestors were never wrong…
-lmao
-hahahaha
-Balloon Gum’s wise words are legendary
Clang!
Almond’s blade scraped across the floor.
He’d missed.
But there hadn’t been any opening for that to happen?
“!?”
Everyone’s faces twisted in shock.
Even the modeling club children who’d been fleeing turned back to look.
“What?”
“Is this a magic show?”
“Huh?”
I thought I was about to witness a corpse today.
The blade passed through the person without resistance.
“…?”
Almond was equally bewildered.
‘Just now….’
The blade hadn’t missed.
‘It passed through?’
It had passed through my senior.
Almond saw it clearly.
‘Again.’
He tried to swing the blade again, but hesitated.
Because my senior, who’d been panicking moments before, suddenly rose to his feet with natural ease, flashing a grin.
That same warm smile from before.
“It seems there was some… misunderstanding?”
-But Balloon Gum was the one who made the mistake?
-OMG what is this
-Is he really the mastermind???
My senior gazed at Almond intently.
As if offering him a chance to correct this mistake right now.
‘Why do his eyes look like that.’
The whites were pitch black, the pupils a sickly pale—inverted eyes.
Within them, black smoke-like demonic energy swirled and rose.
This was a completely different person.
A different soul.
Trembling…!
The bell in my pocket was reacting.
-Why Eojin?
-It was really this senior???
Polygon reasoning is crazy.
That’s not it lol
-Why is this real though;
‘That’s it.’
Almond was certain now.
This senior was connected to the mastermind.
And at this stage, I couldn’t eliminate him.
Clang.
I withdrew my sword.
Then the senior’s eyes returned to normal.
“Huh, huh-uh-uh-ugh?!”
He gasped for breath and flailed about.
Thud.
He rolled into the corner next to the department manager and trembled in fear.
“W-what… w-what is this? A hidden camera? Huh?”
He was back to being that senior from before.
‘What is this.’
Was another spirit occupying part of his body?
He seemed to have no memory of what just happened.
“Phew… I did it again…”
“It’s a hidden camera. I told you so.”
“Ugh. Let’s start over.”
Clap clap.
The teacher clapped to gather everyone’s attention, and the NPCs returned to their lessons as if nothing had happened.
Everyone’s expressions brightened again like before.
Even Almond, who had failed to eliminate the senior, wore a bright expression.
After all, my deduction had been successful.
“Identification complete for now.”
I had achieved a complete victory in the battle of wits against the viewers.
-Haha
hahaha
-Lol
hahaha
I can’t provide a meaningful translation for this, as “-ㅅㅂ ㅠ” doesn’t form coherent Korean words or expressions. It appears to be random Korean consonants and vowels without proper structure.
Why do you keep asking if I’m right? lol
Ding.
[Famous Viewer donated 30,000 won.]
[Deduction? Almondil! Deduction? Almondil! Deduction? Almondil!]
-Agreed
-Almondil’s golden age is on
-Almond is actually smart but hiding it right now? Right?
That’s ridiculous ㅠㅠ
Those who had mocked his physiognomy deduction were now singing his praises.
Boom!
[Factos donated 10,000 won.]
[Almondil’s golden age is expected to continue for a while~ Those who haven’t become Nutillians have no citizenship.]
-Nutillians lol
Nautilion is great lol
ㅠㅠ (or -ㅠㅠ) represents crying or sadness in Korean text/internet culture.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 133]
A natural English equivalent would be:
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 135]
T_T
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 137]
or
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 139]
;_;
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 141]
or simply:
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 143]
😭
-Liberation failed miserably
-Independence activist Gaji-bokkeun. Let us all remember.
Almond spoke while reading the chat’s comments about independence movements.
“I’ve noted all of you who were insulting physiognomy deduction earlier.”
-Purge them all!
Hahahaha

lol
-A failed revolution is just a rebellion, you know
-Since it failed, time for a purge~
Hahaha lol
-Are we consolidating power now?
After accepting the role of king.
Through bell-finding, the Math Ghost, and uncovering the mastermind, Almond’s intellectual abilities were shining at their highest level yet.
Regardless of the process, he was finding the answers through trial and error.
His gaming abilities were developing once again.
[Current viewers: 181,000]
Perhaps his abilities as a streamer as well.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 163]
* * *
‘What is this? It’s way too exciting!’
When Almond first accepted the all-nighter challenge.
Juhyeok thought it was insane.
Even with his stamina recovered, the all-nighter itself was hardcore content.
We were already five hours in. Soon we’d surpass Almond’s usual seven-hour broadcast time.
I had no idea when the game would end.
Doing an actual all-nighter was genuinely crazy.
Unless he was obsessed with money, why would he accept this?
‘Maybe not.’
But Juhyeok’s thoughts changed.
‘It’s not about the money.’
Even after watching him all this time, I hadn’t realized this.
Money wasn’t the issue.
The moment a mission Almond had never attempted before was on the line.
It became a challenge for him.
That’s right.
Athletes possessed some primal instinct that someone like Juhyeok, who carefully weighed everything, could never understand.
The spirit of challenge.
Nothing else held meaning.
Almond found meaning in the act of challenging itself.
That’s why he accepted the international tournament, and the same went for accepting the all-nighter mission.
He probably thought that to establish himself as a streamer going forward, he needed to be capable of pulling off an all-nighter.
So he took on the challenge now while his condition was good.
‘Though he probably didn’t know that 23 hours was the theoretical playtime.’
Regardless, Almond’s challenge was creating massive waves.
[Current Viewers: 183,000]
The viewer count was skyrocketing.
Community posts and search trends on Jayber were all buzzing with it.
It was becoming such an issue that you’d think a personal broadcast couldn’t possibly reach this level of attention.
This was all thanks to Almond’s challenge.
If it were Juhyeok?
Would he have accepted the all-nighter, calculating that despite the penalty, this kind of issue would be profitable?
Maybe he would have.

“I wouldn’t have calculated it.”
He wouldn’t have anticipated this level of buzz.
So he would have declined the all-nighter and prioritized his well-being.
But that’s what a star truly is—something beyond calculation.
A star shines by its very nature.
They weren’t emitting light to illuminate the surrounding stars.
They simply burned themselves to produce light.
After that, some planets became capable of sustaining life, while others burned away entirely….
These were merely side effects.
They simply radiated light at maximum intensity, brilliantly.
Even as they consumed themselves, knowing they would one day become pale, diminished white dwarfs.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 210]
* * *
Light could be the source of life.
But in other places, it burned so intensely that nothing could survive.
“Gaaaaaahhhhh!”
Here and now, someone was crying out in searing agony.
“Damn it! So we’ve completely confirmed it after all!?”
Manager Kim’s only remaining hope had burned away.
It was supposed to be Balloon Gum persuading Almond to block it.
But Balloon Gum had failed spectacularly.
As always!
“How do you block the escape route! How do you aim! The escape route!”
Manager Kim punched at the empty air as if his frustration would explode.
“Ptui! Ptui! Ptui-route!”
“M-Manager. Please calm down.”
It was Manager Kim’s job to calm him.
He had to present the next hope.
In truth, it wasn’t over yet.
“Just knowing who the puppet master is doesn’t make it easy.”
“…What? What are you trying to say now! Huh? Stop peddling that nonsense too, man! Split it.”
“Split it?”
“We’re going to donate to Almond. Split it!”
“?”
“Let’s just pour in about 300 and let Almond run wild!”
Insane.
Was he still saying that?
It wouldn’t work.
In the first place, a manager’s salary and a department manager’s salary weren’t the same. Why would he say split?
Manager Kim explained desperately.
“No! Manager! I’m serious! It’s not just proceeding here! Look!”
Click.
The monitor he pointed to.
Inside it, Balloon Gum and Almond were participating in a modeling club class as if nothing had happened.
“…?”
Manager Kim also looked at that sight with a puzzled expression.
“Suddenly studying diligently in class?”
I thought they’d completely cause chaos, but things were progressing according to the production company’s intentions more than expected.
“They realized that finding them isn’t everything. Even if we find them, we can’t do anything to the opponent with our current spiritual power.”
“…I see?”
This opponent was directly connected to the mastermind.
They weren’t easy to deal with.
“Ultimately, we need to be selected by that senior in this modeling club.”
“Selected…?”
“Yes. That’s how we get taken to the mastermind.”
That was right.
In fact, killing this senior could be the solution that strays furthest from the answer.
Because that senior needs to guide us to the mastermind.
“The GTA-style solutions we’ve been using so far won’t work here.”
“Ah, I see!?”
Manager Kim’s face brightened again.
“So here, we have to receive high evaluations from the senior to be guided to the mastermind, which means they have no choice but to behave obediently!?”
“Exactly.”
That was right.
That’s why Pat and Matt had become so well-behaved.
They could only reach the mastermind if they received good evaluations in the modeling club.
Just like having to get good grades to get into university.
Like a high school student studying hard.
However─
[It’s a union and complement strategy.]
Almond suddenly explained a peculiar concept of strategy.
