Genius Archer's Streaming

The next day, the Knight Order members all gathered in This World. They had decided to practice together every other day.

Black Tea patted Lemon on the back. "Hey, Gyuri, how did the closed-door training go?"

"... Oh, fine," Lemon answered, somewhat lacking confidence.

"Hmm..." Black Tea watched her for a moment, then looked away.

Lots of other people were there too.

"Almond is here."

Whoosh.

Almond arrived last. "Oh. Sorry. Was doing some strategy studying, and it got late. Hehe."

He made a mischievous face, whether it was teasing or not.

At the mention of strategy studying, Sweet Radish and Sweet Potato's expressions went rigid.

— lmaooooooooooo

— LOL their expressions

— Developed a taste for it lmaooo

— Seems to be doing it because Sweet Radish's reaction is entertaining

Sweet Potato briefly raised his hand. "Um... Bro, but when is our scrimmage getting arranged? We still can't reach the coach today..."

More accurately, nobody even had her contact information.

Almond knew but played dumb. "Wh-why are you asking me?"

"... B-because you at least have some connection to her!?"

"I don't. No idea. She's a stranger." Almond flatly denied everything so JeonJaPa’s name wouldn't slip out of his own mouth.

— ?

— ??

— What do you mean you don't know, you insane person lmaooo

— Why is he like this??

— Did the strategy studying fry his brain?? LOL

"You won the world championship together! That's why you brought her!"

"Oh... that."

‘Oh, that's what they meant.’

Almond scratched his head.

"..."

Then, he exercised his complete right to silence.

'We're done.'

Anything he said now would be strange, but saying nothing was even stranger.

"?"

"??"

"???"

Everyone blinked at each other.

'What on earth?'

'I don't get it. He brought the coach himself...'

'This is genuinely suspicious...'

“Ahem.” Sweet Radish moved the topic along. "But what's actually going on? Survival mode needs ten teams for a scrimmage. How can we be the only ones left out?"

Sweet Radish quickly shifted the topic.

"No, they're clearly messing with us!"

Black Tea was convinced of sabotage.

— lmaooooooooo that's too much

— Maybe the coach just isn't doing her job?

— She'll bring news today

— Delusions of grandeur LOL

— Wait other teams are scrimmaging today?? fr??

— Blocked!

Black Tea said again, "No, this isn't delusions of grandeur! We're the strongest team on Cheese. Like obviously."

— What?!

— Delusions of grandeur

— Uh

— Legendary delusions of grandeur

— Delusions of grandeur fanatic

— Black Tea is speaking like a rapper

Black Tea insisted otherwise and somehow made it sound even more that way.

Ding.

[Zelo has entered.]

An outsider suddenly came in.

"?"

"Hm?"

"What. Did you not set a password?"

Sweet Radish touched the settings and tilted his head. "Hm... no? It's set?"

"Ah, kick them quickly. The password must have been breached."

They assumed it was a troll with Zelo's name.

Whoosh!

"Hahaha. Knight Order members, shall we see... how's the practice coming along~?"

It was actually Zelo.

Click.

He adjusted his sunglasses leisurely and looked around at everyone.

"...?"

"?"

Zelo generally didn't get tangled up with other streamers. Was this also a post Survival Craft change? Or did he have some other intentions?

"Zelo? What brings you here suddenly?" Black Tea, who had been building a theory, asked with suspicion.

"Oh, I just stopped by to say hello."

"No, who stops by a password-protected room just to say hello?"

— lmaooooooooooo fr

— A person who opens apartment front doors to say hello!

— lmaooooooooo

— LOL

— Came to listen in on strategy

Zelo waved to clear the misunderstanding. "Oh, no, well, Bubblegum just told me the password. You invited him here before, right? He said you gave the password then."

"...?"

Everyone's eyes went to Almond.

"No, I invited him to my room."

"... But the password works?"

"That's because they're the same password."

Almond had made his This World room password identical to the Knight Order’s This World room password.

"...?"

— He's so unapologetic LOL

— lmaooooo

— Password recycling

— Cut Almond some slack for limited memory at least...

— Ultimately your fault!

"No oppa, it is your fault!"

"Boooo!"

"Spy! Spy!"

The Knight Order blamed Almond, but Zelo brought up something that instantly swept the topic away.

"Anyway, have you all found scrimmage partners?"

"...!?"

They'd all been in the middle of talking about scrimmages.

"Hahahahaha!" Zelo laughed with exaggerated gestures. "Seems like you haven't."

"...?"

Black Tea couldn't lower her guard.

She grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "No, you're the one who sabotaged us, aren't you!?"

— LOL

— lmaooooooooo

— fr

— Zelo poisoned the well

— Delusions of grandeur fanatic

"Wh-what are you talking about!?" Zelo pulled Black Tea off and denied it. "No, what exactly are you even!? Do you think I'd go that far to interfere with you!?"

— Oh...

— lmaooooo

— That's fair

— fr...

Black Tea answered confidently, "What do you mean? This is Cheese's strongest team!"

— lmaooooooooooooo

— Hmm...

— lmaooo

— Platform-level combat power

— fr...

— Knight Order is the strongest though

Sweet Radish settled Black Tea down and asked, "No, wait. Calm down. Zelo, you came here to find scrimmage partners, right?"

They'd been having trouble finding scrimmage teams. Conveniently, a major streamer walked in. Regardless of their game skills, they could connect with everyone through influence.

"No."

"Pardon?"

Zelo smiled. "No, I didn't. I came to say hello. I told you already. And I asked if you'd found scrimmages because we did~!"

— ?

— ???

— ? lmaooooooo

— He came to taunt LOL

— Absolute madman lmaooo

— Zelo being cheeky

"The coach I brought has wide connections. It all just went like swoooosh! Scrimmages just lined up. Flowing flowing flowing~!"

"..."

"Isn't finding the scrimmage schedule practically half the coach's job? My goodness, we just have no time to rest. Not even covering the wages, at this rate..."

"..."

— Pouring on the damage

— He came to brag LOL

— Insane

— Mental attack

— Not covering wages lmaooo

"Oh, hahaha! But I heard Almond brought a coach here. Where are they right now?"

"..."

The entire Knight Order went silent. At that, Almond stepped forward from the back.

"Ahem."

Zelo instantly stepped backward.

'Damn. Still have Lord phobia.'

Once a hierarchy was imprinted, it didn't disappear easily.

— Why is Zelo stepping back lol

— Then why'd you come??

— Stepping back is an upgrade compared to the past

— The cowering is so funny LOL

— DNA engraved in school days

Almond figured he’d take responsibility since he brought the coach. "We don't have scrimmages. Please let us join yours."

"Hm?"

At the unexpected words, Zelo remained silent.

"Let us in too. How many teams do you have?"

"Well, our schedule is all filled with rotating partners..."

Being suddenly asked like this made Zelo's resolve weaken a little.

"If there's a cancellation, we'll look into it... But there probably won't be a cancellation. Probably, yes..."

"Really?"

Zelo felt a chill down his spine. It wasn't Almond, but a woman's voice.

'When did she...?'

Choi Sa-Rang had appeared from behind.

"If there's a cancellation, you'll let us join?"

There was something extremely sharp in her tone.

"Uh... er... th-that..." Zelo fumbled and stepped back.

Then, he used a facial expression item.

[Lagging Face]

Crackle crackle...!

His face twisted and contorted like a lagging screen.

— What the

— Suddenly lagging?

— LOL

— Hahaha

— lmaooooo

— He bolted lol

"Oh, oh!? Con-connection... mayday? Mayday?"

— Mayday!

— lmaooooo

— What WWI radio equipment is this?!

— LMAO

He'd come to taunt them and ended up getting magnificently taunted. Sa-Rang wasn't particularly interested in Zelo.

When he lagged, she said to the Knight Order, "Don't worry about scrimmages. The rest of the teams all fell through. We'll have to rearrange everything."

"... Pardon?"

This time, the entire Knight Order was dumbfounded.

Pop!

Zelo's face suddenly came back too.

"Wh-what does that mean? Coach?"

"You arranged scrimmages with Paprika teams too, right?"

"... Isn't that obvious?"

Sa-Rang smiled slightly and nodded. "Good work. Please rearrange them then."

"...?"

— ?

— ??

— Hm?

— What?

— Why???

Sa-Rang explained the situation, and Zelo's face was filled with horror.

***

Whoosh!

Zelo returned to his own team channel.

"Hey~ President Zel! Did you have a good time?"

"Ah, our President Zel’s mouth always delivers~. Must've half-killed them and come back~!"

Bubblegum and Acorn Jelly cackled and greeted him. Choco Shroom excitedly waited for his response as well.

"How was it? Total mental explosion?"

The only one hanging back was ForeverAlone.

"There was no need to go that far, though..."

He thought that deliberately provoking them wasn't necessary.

— Fence-sitter lmaooo

— Go to the Knight Order you spy

— Gi-chan's name starts with gi as in already

Bubblegum came over and asked, "What were their reactions?"

"Well..." Zelo couldn't properly answer. "We need to completely redo all our scrimmages."

"... What!?"

He'd gone to taunt the Knight Order after excitedly sorting out their scrimmage schedule. Now, suddenly this happened?

Bubblegum grabbed him by the collar. "No, President Zel!? What are you talking about?! You said it was all done!"

"Let go of me!"

Thwack!

Shoving Bubblegum far away, Zelo produced a document he'd received from Sa-Rang.

"We got this official notice!!"

"!?"

Bubblegum lay on the floor in shock. Acorn Jelly, who had been standing, suddenly collapsed too.

The contents were as followed.

"Each platform shall participate in the Platform War without exchanging information with each other! Cheese teams run scrimmages among Cheese teams only! Paprika teams run scrimmages among Paprika teams only! And all coaches shall enter the This World channel designated for their platform to share information and communicate!"

Acorn Jelly denied it. "Th-this... this makes no sense. There's clearly something underhanded going on..."

— Here we go again LOL

— To be fair...

— Feels like it fits the concept though?

— Conspiracy theorist lmaooooo

— Sigh... Can't let this stand. Let's go find the perfect scrimmage~!

Bubblegum added, "How does this make sense?! President Zel! You weren't tricked, were you!?"

Acorn Jelly also asked, "Who ordered this!? The t-tournament organizers... or the platform itself!?"

— LOL

— Who ordered what lmao

— If it's the platform, it's not an order. It's a command lmaooo

— lmaooooo

To carry out this kind of sweeping change all at once, the platforms themselves had to coordinate. From the streamers' perspective, the platforms were absolute authority. This order couldn't be resisted.

"No." Zelo pointed up. "Higher."

"!?"

Even higher than the streaming platforms? Everyone trembled.

— lmaooooooooooo

— higher lmaooo

— World government?

— Higher?

— Insane

— Wow

— Emperor Zel is so cool lmaooo
