Chapter 10: This is my first time with a black card!
“Maknae escaped from the hospital?”
“…Yes.”
“…Can’t take my eyes off her for a second. Where did she go?”
“She went straight home.”
“…Was there something important at home? Or was it just unfamiliarity?”
I thought about it, but nothing came to mind.
I can’t even remember the last time I spent with Maknae.
But that old house… the only thing that looked decent was her computer.
“Secretary Kim, find out what Maknae’s been up to lately.”
“Understood.”
It’s a good thing if Maknae’s doing something.
Anything is reassuring.
As long as it’s not bad thoughts.
“Sigh, what do I do with our Maknae?”
“What are you saying!? A horror game!?”
–Telling a sick person to play a horror game, are you human?
–Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof
–Not human lol
–If not human, fair enough lol
–Wow, going that far lol
“I-I’m not avoiding it because I’m scared! I’m a patient!”

[Scared?]
“Kyaah! Fine! Tomorrow! I’ll do it tomorrow! I’m not feeling well today, so tomorrow!”
–Caught lol
–If you escape tomorrow, you know what happens, right? lol
–Escape means death, got it? lol
–Popcorn ready for tomorrow lol
“Ugh, but Doolgis, I have something important to say.”
I tried to set a serious tone, but my Doolgis weren’t listening.
–Worried about which horror game for tomorrow? Don’t worry!
–We’ll prepare everything, just show up!
–Come! You better come! We’ll find you if you don’t!
–Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
–Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
“Kyaah! Stop spamming!! That’s not what I meant!!”
–Should’ve said earlier! We misunderstood!
–Right! You messed up, Luna, apologize!
–Apologize apologize apologize apologize!
–Explain explain explain explain explain explain
–Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
“…I’m starting a random chat ban event. Dodge it.”
–Swish swish swish, dodged? Slow? Luna’s lame lol
–Oh, that’s my afterimage, slowpoke lol
–Slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow slow
–Domhwangchya lol
–Domhwangchya!!!!!
“…Can I start talking now?”
–Been waiting forever! Hurry up!
–How long you gonna drag this out!? We’re waiting!
–Making precious Doolgis wait, Luna, meow!
–Luna, meow meow meow meow meow meow!
“Kyaah! I forgot because of you Doolgis!”
–EveningTeammate donated 1,000 KRW.
[That’s your fault, Luna. We’re innocent!]
–Right! We’re innocent!!!!!!
–Boo, explain yourself, boo
–Explain, boo
–Boo boo boo boo boo
–Boo, disperse, boo
“Oh! I remembered! I was going to decide the theme for my stream!”
I’d forgotten until now.
Streams have themes.
Radio streamers, gaming streamers, cam streamers, all sorts.
I didn’t have one.
I’ve been doing a bit of everything, and honestly, I’m confused about what kind of streamer I am.
[Viewers: 1,050]
“It’s time to use the power of collective intelligence! My Doolgis! What should our stream’s theme be!?”
–Boo, asking us to decide that too!? Explain!!!!!!
–Boo, next you’ll ask us to stream for you!? Explain!!
–Boo, send Luna to parliament, boo
–Boo, love you, Luna, boo
–Boo, love love first love, boo
The power of collective intelligence was incredible.
Incredibly, not a single useful suggestion came up. How is that possible?
How is not one person helpful!?
–BecauseOfKurunaImFat donated 1,000 KRW.
[Just do a variety gaming stream, you do everything anyway.]
“…Genius!!! My Doolgi is a genius!!!!”
–Ahem! I’m pretty smart, huh? I can even use a spoon and chopsticks!
–Wow, you’re super smart? I still use a fork and spoon lol
–Why are you all so smart? I eat with my hands lol
–Just eat like an animal, why use tools lol
–Crazy guy, that’s not it lol
What do I do with my Doolgis?
Looking at the chat makes me a bit dizzy.
Oh, am I actually dizzy?
“Ugh, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll end the stream here. Luba…”
–Wow, your voice sounds bad? Luba ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
–Luba ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
–Luba ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
–Luba ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
–Luba ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
–BLUE donated 20,000 KRW.
[Buy some tteokbokki with this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
“Oh! Thank you. I’ll go now!!!”
<Stream Ended>
“Ugh, such a tough day. I should eat something for dinner…”
Come to think of it, I have Big Sister’s card.
Can I register it on an app?
I logged into QuickEats and tried registering the card…
“It worked!! Jackpot!! I can finally eat!!!”
It’s Big Sister’s card with tons of money; she won’t mind if I get something pricey, right?
I can finally eat what I’ve been craving.
I ordered dinner with her card, lay on my bed, and thought.
I can’t live like this. I need a plan.
I realized I could be kicked out of this place anytime.
Honestly, I wasn’t independent; I was kicked out.
To be self-reliant, I need a new place first.
I don’t have a deposit now, so I’ll use my stream earnings to get one.
“…Big Sister said to live together, but it’s probably empty words. Just something she said.”
Honestly, what’s the benefit of living with me?
I’d just be a burden. Probably just talk.
Like saying, “Let’s grab a meal sometime.”
I won’t be fooled anymore. I won’t trust it.
I’ll take responsibility for my life from now on.
To do that, first…
I fell asleep with that thought.
I can’t remember the last time I ate a proper dinner. I’ve been eating one ramen a day…
“Umm, Secretary Kim.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“What do you order at a porridge place to spend 10,000 KRW?”
“Uh, plain porridge plus delivery fee would be about 10,000 KRW?”
“Sigh, I gave her a black card to buy something nice, and she gets this…”
I hoped she’d at least get beef porridge or something expensive. Was that too much?
With a 3,000 KRW delivery fee, she got the cheapest 7,000 KRW plain porridge. What do I do with our Maknae?
“Secretary Kim, how’s the investigation going?”
“Here it is.”
I checked the report. Maknae’s been streaming online.
They call it a streamer? Her nickname’s Luna? What’s that mean?
“What’s the meaning behind Luna?”
“Well, that’s…”
Hearing Secretary Kim, I was shocked.
In a normal family, she’d be the most loved youngest child.
But she was neglected, kicked out as soon as she became an adult. How must she feel?
To think we’ve neglected her all this time…
“…There’s a lot we need to do for Maknae. What should we do?”
“Should I report to the chairman?”
“To Mother? No. Maknae was most scared of her, so better not.”
