Chapter 2: Re-start.

I’m trash, how could I mess up my first stream like that!?

Should I die? Let’s die—what’s the point of living if I can’t even stream properly, just a useless idiot.

Still, just in case, I check the community to see the public reaction.

[Trash viewer made newbie streamer cry]

└Trash jerk, it’s clearly a kid’s first stream, and you can’t even cheer her on.

└Got that guy’s IP, gonna doxx him.

└Oppa will take revenge, how dare that trash hurt our baby.

└Protect our baby!!!!

└But is she really a baby? She said she’s an adult.

└Listen to that voice, how’s that an adult?

…Let’s die, an innocent viewer is getting witch-hunted because of me.

Even if I do a clarification stream, no one believes me. They even said, “Why’s the victim worried about the perpetrator?”

Still, it’s our first viewer… they’ll come back, right?

It’ll blow over by tomorrow. The internet’s vast—how could this kind of drama last more than a day?

With that thought, I fell asleep.

[Baby streamer compilation]

└Voice is super cute, who is she?

└Luna? Think it’s Luna [link]

└Why’s the streamer named Luna?

└Dunno lol, she started yesterday, how would I know?

└You don’t know, so your military service is over? Go find out.

└It’s over, you jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…Is there any reason for me to still be alive?

“Ugh, I still have to stream today, right? By the way, how many people watched my stream yesterday?”

I know how many viewers I have now, but not how many watched total.

I don’t even know how to set a stream title, so how would I know that?

Ugh, if there’s even one viewer, I can ask them.

Father in heaven, give me strength to stream today.

“…Oh, you’re not there.”

This is the most nerve-wracking moment.

The moment I press the start stream button.

I press it, and the screen switches to “streaming.”

“Ugh, are there any viewers out there?”

–…

“Ugh, is no one coming after all?”

…Should I die?

[Viewers: 65]

–Wow, finally streaming!! Baby!! You okay!?

–Was worried, so I came!! We handled that trash, so don’t worry!?

–Do whatever you want, baby!!

–By the way, donations are blocked here? Really a baby?

–She said she’s an adult yesterday.

–How’s that voice an adult lol.

“H-hehe!? W-why’s the chat moving so fast!? Slow down, please!!!”

It was shocking. I don’t know how many people are watching my stream.

It feels like the drama from yesterday brought in viewers, but it’s so overwhelming.

Even if I stream pretending I’m talking to a wall, the chat moving this fast is too much pressure.

“Ugh, c-could you type a bit slower? It’s too fast to read.”

–So cute!!!!!!!!!

–Najakss Najakss!!!!!

–Saved Najakss!!!!

–Najakss is back!!!!!!

–Wow, really a newbie, so exciting. Donations are blocked!!

–No stream title either? Doesn’t know how to set it?

–Someone tell her!! It’s just chatting, but the theme’s set to gaming!!

–It’s a game, life’s a game lol.

“Ugh, what’s Najakss? And do I need to set a title? What’s a theme…”

It’s so confusing. They keep typing things I don’t understand, and I don’t know how to react.

–Not streaming for money? Open donations first!!!!

–Take my money!!! Oppa’ll give you allowance!!!

–If I skip a meal, our baby can buy snacks!?

–Super generous, open donations!!!!

“Ugh, viewers, no way, I don’t know how to open donations.”

–So cute, I’m going crazy!!

–Idiot, cross the line and get sued? Just type coo-coo.

–Listen to that voice! You idiots, she’s a minor, one wrong chat and you’re in cuffs?

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

“Ugh, why’s everyone suddenly cooing? Pigeons? Is that it!?”

I can’t keep up.

[Viewers: 150]

The viewers passed 100, and amidst the chaos, a savior appeared…

–Open donations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

–Donations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

No savior appeared. Is my stream doomed?

Still, this feels like it’s on fire, so I need to prepare.

“My viewers? I’ll watch YouTube to figure out how to set things up!”

–Wait, Luna’s streaming but watching other streams?

–If the streamer’s watching streams, what are we doing?

–Dunno lol.

–This is insane, first time seeing a stream like this lol.

–Her voice is so cute, I’m just listening, otherwise I’d leave lol.

–For real lol.

[Breaking News: Newbie streamer streaming while watching other streams]

└Isn’t that the streamer from yesterday’s drama? lol

└What’s today’s drama lol

└Insane, she’s actually watching streams lol

└Wait, two streams for the price of one, super generous?

└Generous, you idiot lol.

For an hour, I watched other streams to learn how to set up.

Finally, I could add a stream title and set up donations.

But what were they all doing for an hour? Did they leave?

[Viewers: 360]

“…Huh? Why are there so many people!? What were you all doing!?”

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

–Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo

“Heck!? Why’s everyone cooing!? Pigeons!? Is that it!? Is it trending?”

–She really doesn’t know?

–For real? Really? Don’t lie, you don’t know this meme?

–Look at her reaction, she really doesn’t know.

–Where do we even start teaching her?

–So cute, my Najakss, get lost, she’s mine!!!!!

–My Najakss, everyone get lost!!!!!!

–Najakss donated 1,000 KRW.

[Oh, donations opened. So what’s this stream about?]

“Heck!? What!? Who said that!?”

–Look at her freaking out at the donation voice lol.

–So cute lol.

–Love her lol.

–Crazy cute lol.

–lol.

“Heck!? What!? Why’s everyone laughing!?”

–RedBeard donated 1,000 KRW.

[Wak!!!!!!!!!!]

“Eek!? A ghost!? It’s a ghost!!!”

–Reaction lol.

–Reaction so cute lol.

–Stop teasing her lol.

–Reaction super generous lol.

–1,000 KRW reaction, so worth it lol.

“Sob, the stream’s weird. I’ll stop here today, sob…”

–Wait!? Baby!? Baby!? It was a joke!!!!

–That was the donation voice!! You earned money!!!!

–You made money!!!!

–No!!! Don’t go!!! Don’t end!!!!

–Don’t gooooooo!!!!

Even after hitting the end stream button, my heart wouldn’t calm down.

What was that voice?

Is my stream haunted? Ugh, how am I supposed to sleep tonight?

Starting today, I’ll believe in God, Buddha, Jesus, Virgin Mary, all of them.

Should I go buy a cross?

…I can’t go out to buy a cross…

Does Lupin sell crosses…?
