Sorim Grapes is Wronged

31.

The chat window froze for a moment. In the party window, MinoIsMine was sweating profusely [;;;;].

[General/Karis: Oh really lol]

[General/Karis: Should I put a bounty on you? lol]

[General/Karis: If I put a million gold, you won’t be able to stay connected for even a minute lol]

[General/Angryy: Ah.. You mean game money? I thought I could prepare some since I have quite a bit of money]

[General/Angryy: So even this was just game money]

[General/Angryy: Threatening with game money..]

[General/Angryy: What kind of life does one have to live to be scared of that..]

Even if my typing was fast, it would still be slower than these bastards, but no one said anything.

[General/Angryy: Why is everyone silent?]

[General/OfficialStatement: Taking screenshots]

[General/Gchang: ㅇㅅㅇ; Well, I’m already recording a video, so screenshots won’t be of much use]

[General/Angryy: Just leave it be, let’s see how you report this]

[General/Angryy: All you can say is take screenshots, not even something like finding out where I live]

[General/Angryy: Game bullies are cute]

I was typing each letter carefully, knowing they’d pick on any typo, when suddenly the surroundings went quiet. One of the Blood Demon guild members suddenly logged out, reducing their number to seven…. Gakjong suddenly said this:

[Party/Gakjong: Why do my bones hurt?]

Huh?

[General/Ape: ;;;Suddenly getting hit while passing by;]

[General/RERe: Living up to your name ㄷㄷㄷ]

[General/LuckIsOnMe: Blood Demons, I don’t know what’s going on, but you better apologize quickly;]

Suddenly, there were more spectators.

[General/OfficialStatement: I can’t stand this. I’ll make it public on Sasage]

[General/Angryy: What’s Sasage?]

[General/Gchang: Then I’ll upload the video too ㅇㅅㅇ]

[General/MinoIsMine: It’s an incident board where people share information about ill-mannered users,,]

[General/Angryy: Are you turning yourselves in?]

[General/Iman: lol turning themselves in lololol]

[General/LuckIsOnMe: Turning themselves in lololololololololol]

Laughter swept through the chat window. So many messages came up at once that the Blood Demons’ chats were barely visible.

I was furrowing my brow and concentrating when… suddenly the text stopped. In the screen that seemed to be paused, I felt an inexplicable chill. Despite so many users, there wasn’t a single speech bubble floating above their heads.

What’s this pressure that I can feel even through the monitor…?

Could it be that a field boss, which I’ve never seen before, has appeared? As I was swallowing hard while watching, a character approached from the right side of the screen.

It was a human male character from the Mir Empire, wearing a robe with a deep hood that hid his face. The outfit reminded me of the man who killed Angryy’s family, and I almost pressed A for , but I barely held back when I saw the name.

The user’s name was Beombiga.

Beombiga walked up steadily… and stood in front of me. As if protecting me, he stood facing the Blood Demon guild members and said:

[General/Beombiga: Hello… Blood Demon guild members..haha]

The Blood Demon guild members gave no response.

Beombiga had ‘Jangsan Tiger’ above his head. I heard before that Blood Demon was the server’s 2nd ranked guild and Jangsan Tiger was 1st, so they weren’t on good terms. There was even a time when Blood Demon caused trouble and Jangsan Tiger publicly criticized them.

[General/Beombiga: Is interfering with another person’s quest here the will of the Blood Demon guild leader?]

[General/OfficialStatement: Ah; No;]

[General/Karis: This has nothing to do with the Guru,,,,]

Guru, he says…. Really pathetic. I put my hands on the keyboard but given the atmosphere, I didn’t type anything.

[General/OfficialStatement: No, it’s just ㅅㅂ I personally]

[General/OfficialStatement: I’m friends with Chang Gwi guild master;]

[General/OfficialStatement: I was just joking around;]

[General/Karis: I only did it because OfficialStatement suggested it.,,,,,]

Beombiga said nothing, but OfficialStatement, Karis, and other Blood Demon members were sweating and making excuses.

[Party/Gakjong: ???Beombiga descended?]

[Party/Gchang: Don’t know why he came all the way here but I’m ㅅㅂ surprised ㅇㅅ;]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Blood Demons got humbled lol]

[Party/Gakjong: Why are the Blood Demons so scared of Beombiga?]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Because Blood Demon kept bullying users, Jangsan Tiger created their own zone in Blood Demon’s main income route]

[Party/MinoIsMine: If they get on Jangsan Tiger’s bad side, they have to take a huge detour, causing more losses]

[Party/MinoIsMine: I heard there was an order at the guild level not to get involved with them lol]

[Party/Gchang: Yeah, that’s why the East Continent where Jangsan Tiger mainly operates is cl-ean without Blood Demons ㅇㅅㅇ]

I was wondering why they were so timid even though the hero of the Korea-Japan match had descended, but I could guess the situation from Changmigak’s conversation.

[Party/Gchang: But how did he know to come here ㅇㅅㅇ;]

[Party/MinoIsMine: I don’t know, but it’s cool so it’s fine lol]

[Party/Gakjong: He’s really cool, why do I feel pressure through the monitor]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Would it ruin the mood if I announced Beombiga’s appearance here with a megaphone? lol]

[Party/Gakjong: That’s a bit lol]

In my opinion, it would be fine to use the megaphone ten times in a row. Because Beombiga was….

[Whisper/Beombiga: It’s my first time actually seeing Angryy]

[Whisper/Beombiga: Your character is pretty haha]

[Whisper/To Beombiga: Why did you come? You didn’t have to]

[Whisper/Beombiga: I came because the megaphones were noisy]

[Whisper/Beombiga: Can you turn your body a little to the left? I want to take a screenshot]

[Whisper/Beombiga: Ah, I’m not streaming right now lol]

…saying these things in whispers, contrary to his solemn and dignified outward appearance.

I turned my body slightly to the left as Beombiga asked.

[Whisper/Beombiga: Click click]

We’ve only been exchanging whispers every day, and this is the first time seeing each other, well, online of course, but anyway it feels new and… cool. And grateful. And also….

Cute…

Beombiga was clearly facing the Blood Demon guild members who kept making excuses, not me, but why do I feel like I’m being thoroughly examined? It feels like he’s even zooming in. I haven’t cared much about customizing my character until now, but I’m starting to think I should have taken better care of it….

[Party/Gchang: He’s still wearing the hood as usual ㅇㅅㅠ]

[Party/MinoIsMine: I want to ask him to take it off lol]

[Party/Gakjong: But shouldn’t we greet him since he’s taking our side?]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Oh right;; Gchang, you first]

[Party/Gchang: Why why why me first? I’m shy]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Because you’re the guild master, it’s customary for the higher-ups to go first lol]

[Party/Gchang: We’re not even in the same guild ㅠ Join first and then say that]

[Party/Gakjong: Beombiga isn’t a difficult person, don’t be nervous and just greet him]

After the shy trio’s conversation passed, Gchang finally posted:

[General/Gchang: Hello Beombiga ㅠㅅㅠ Thank you for helping us]

[Party/Gakjong: ㅅㅂ Can’t get rid of that female character speech????]

[Party/MinoIsMine: Our Gchang who’d be embarrassing anywhere lol ㅠㅠㅠ]

[Party/Gchang: Just hurry up and greet him ¸◕ˇ‸ˇ◕˛ ]

[General/Gakjong: Hello Beombiga]

[General/MinoIsMine: Hello Beombiga]

When Changmigak greeted, Beombiga responded.

[General/Beombiga: Hello]

[General/Beombiga: Why are you dead? haha]

Beombiga personally revived the dead Changmigak with a ‘Feather of Resurrection’.

Changmigak responded with an enormous ‘ㅠㅠㅠ’ and in the party chat, they were sweating profusely saying how incredibly cool it was.

Meanwhile, somehow word got out that Beombiga was here, and more and more spectators gathered. The Blood Demon members remained silent after apologizing.

[Whisper/Beombiga: I’ll take the Blood Demons with me]

[Whisper/Beombiga: If rumors spread that I’m here, you won’t be able to do your quest again]

[Whisper/To Beombiga: Good job, thanks]

[Whisper/Beombiga: It’s nothing, I should do at least this much for Angryy]

[Whisper/Beombiga: More than that, I’m worried about what’s to come. It seems this incident will cause a stir…]

[Whisper/To Beombiga: It’s okay, I’m only planning to go up to level 50 anyway]

[Whisper/Beombiga: Hmm]

[Whisper/Beombiga: If you need help again, call me anytime]

[Whisper/To Beombiga: Okay]

Beombiga smoothly approached the Blood Demon side.

[General/OfficialStatement: Beombi ㅠㅠ We weren’t the only ones at fault ㅠㅠ Angryy also verbally abused us]

[General/Beombiga: Whatever was said, it doesn’t change the fact that Blood Demon picked a fight first]

[General/OfficialStatement: We were just joking around ㅠㅠ]

[General/Beombiga: Hmm haha Let’s move to another place]

[General/Beombiga: I’ll invite you to a party]

[General/OfficialStatement: Okay, understood]

Soon the Blood Demon bastards disappeared, either changing channels or moving to town. Then Beombiga also left after whispering to me, ‘Looks like we’re back to long-distance…’

However, the spectators still remained, gossiping about Beombiga.

[General/Raid: ㅠㅠ I thought he was going to massacre the Blood Demons, but he left without doing it ㅠ]

[General/OakSwordTeeth: Beombi usually doesn’t PvP with ordinary people….] 

[General/akusl: But those Blood Demon bastards got owned lol]

[General/akusl: I was always annoyed when they interfered with newbie quests and bullied small guilds lol]

[General/YakultDrink: But why did he come all the way here? Does Beombi know someone here?]

[General/Gakjong: He probably came after seeing my megaphone ㅠㅠ]

[General/MinoIsMine: I think he came after seeing my megaphone lol]
