I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work

Hearing that a 100,000-subscriber YouTuber was my fan was already shocking enough.

But that wasn’t the end of it.
There was another one.

Ronze, a second-division pro gamer in Knight of Legend.

[Actually, part of the reason I invited Magia-nim today is because I was curious. You’re the one who created the Dark Cloud Demolition Meta, right?]

"Ah. Uh… Huh? Created it?"

[I saw your Apolla backdoor play on Komari-nim’s stream. The clip ended up making its way to my channel, so I watched it by chance.
Thanks to that, I used it as a surprise strategy in a tournament. That win kept us from getting knocked out of the playoffs this year.]

“Wait, what.”@@novelbin@@

No, I didn’t create a meta—I just played Apolla that one time.

And Komari nagged me the entire match about playing properly.
How does that turn into something worth being grateful for?

The sudden pressure weighed on me so heavily that I started chewing on my lip, wanting to escape. But before I could process it, another person jumped in.

[Thanks to Ronze-nim, we’re actually getting to talk to Magia-nim. Lucky us.]
[For real. Never thought I’d get to game with her.]

[Whoa, whoa, you guys have it wrong. It’s not thanks to me—it’s thanks to Maru-nim for inviting her.]

[Oh, that’s true. Thanks, Maru-nim!]

[Ahem. You should be grateful. If I hadn’t asked, Gia-nim would’ve probably just gone home and sent a toxic donation instead.]

[No way.]
[Pfft. Wait, wasn’t Magia-nim a notorious sniper in Momo-nim’s chat? Is that true?]

"Uh. Um."

[You can’t just ask like that and expect a straight answer.]
[I mean, sniping isn’t inherently bad, right? It’s not like she relentlessly bullied Momo-nim until she cried or anything.]
[I saw some old clips of her sniping. She was actually kind of sweet. She’d mess around but then run in to save her afterward.]
[Oh, seriously? So it wasn’t just sniping—it was sweet sniping?]
[What the hell is ‘sweet sniping’…? Sniping is sniping.]
[Hold up, why are you guys analyzing Gia-nim? Why not just ask her directly?]

At a time like this, I thought for sure that Maru or Komari would step in to help me out.

But considering how I had been ruthlessly dunking on them with facts all this time…
I guess this was karma coming back to bite me.

Maru took the opportunity and shouted at the top of her lungs.

[GUYS——!! GIA-NIM HAS SOMETHING TO SAY———!!]

[Wait, really?!]
[What is it? What is it?]
[We’re all ears! Hurry up and tell us!]
[Let’s gooo.]
[Speak, speak, speak!]
