It’s a channel that just uploaded strategy videos and it’s totally well-filmed and amazing

Especially highly recommended for Lilith players

Totally unheard of

└The name has no sincerity lol

Since they’re recruiting creators, really anything gets uploaded

└Even self-promotion

└Lol really tho lololololololol

Not even trying to hide the self-promo

└lololololololol so brazen

But the video is actually good though?

└Is this also self-promo? How many IDs do you have ㄷㄷ

└Just watch it

└Hmm……? It’s actually really sick

New content ㄷㄷ worth bragging about lol

└Would’ve been less embarrassing if it wasn’t self-promo

└lololololol]

Actually, after posting it and getting comments pointing out it was self-promotion, I only later realized that people didn’t know Aang was Banye, so they would think it was self-promotion.

My face was burning hot, but still, I thought since it had come to this, I might as well push through shamelessly. And since Banye’s skills were what they were, each time I refreshed, the comment reactions got better and better.

So I was addictively pressing refresh, when a Discord notification rang.

[Hwang Hyunjung] What are you doing

[Hwang Hyunjung] Stop it

[Aang] Stop what?

[Hwang Hyunjung] The self-promo

I giggled and muttered at Banye’s reaction.

“Hehe, our Banye must be embarrassed again.”

[Aang] Just wait and see, I’ll make this channel successful

[Hwang Hyunjung] I don’t need that

Banye said firmly, but I ignored those words.

And whether my trolling was successful or not, the video’s view count went up as the comments blazed. Then one by one, new posts started appearing on the free board.

[Thought Imshiyong was a comedy channel but he’s actually good][51]

[Aang< seems to be top among Lilith players][34]

Around that point, Banye told me to delete the post, but I ignored that too.

As expected, YouTube was all about trolling. Despite Banye’s rather half-hearted channel name and editing, a hundred subscribers gathered in just one day.

“Wow…… Now I’ll keep pestering Banye to upload the next video and make him into a successful YouTuber…… and if I become that Banye’s manager? We’ll succeed right away.”

Of course, of course.

I was indulging in pipe dreams, even fantasizing about appearing on the famous MC Yoo××’s You Quiz.

But then, a notification came from Sisi’s YouTube that I’d subscribed to for surveillance purposes.

“What? He uploaded another video?”

But this time it wasn’t a video, but a YouTube community post.

[Hello! This is Sisi.

This weekend evening at 8 PM, I’m planning to do my first live broadcast.

I’ll announce the exact date and time soon.

Thank you for always supporting my channel :)]

“Is this bastard crazy?”

I was annoyed that he was triumphantly saying he’d do a live stream, and also worried that his live broadcast might be successful.

So I immediately suggested to Banye that we should interfere with the live stream.

[Guild][Banyecredit] We have to interfere with Sisi’s live stream ㅡㅡ

[Guild][Banyecredit] That trash surprisingly has a lot of fans, if he gains more from the live stream ㄷㄷ

It was terrible.

The number of people who didn’t know Kwon Dajeong’s true nature and praised him would double. And if I saw that, I might die from anger.

[Guild][Banyecredit] Banye-ssi, don’t you have any good ideas?

[Guild][Aang] Should I think about it together?

[Guild][Banyecredit] Of course

[Guild][Banyecredit] We’re in the same boat!

Banye created a channel and uploaded strategy videos with my character. So aren’t we on the same team?

But Banye’s reaction was cold.

[Guild][Aang] ㅋ

[Guild][Banyecredit] Don’t laugh and think about it

[Guild][Aang] How do we stop it when we’re on different servers

[Guild][Aang] Calm down, okay?

Even when I came at him foaming at the mouth, Banye continued to maintain a calm attitude. I felt like I wanted to grab Banye by the collar and shake him.

The ones who responded to me weren’t Banye, but other guild members.

[Guild][Yeongmyeong] But why do you want to interfere so badly?

[Guild][Haeyam] Seriously yam

[Guild][Suckeot3] Do you two know each other?

It was probably just a random comment, but cold sweat ran down my back at the accurate observation. Was it a mistake to have blurted this out in guild chat because I was too anxious?

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] It seems excessive to just see it as a male fan’s change of heart

[Guild][Banyecredit] Male fan ㅡㅡ

[Guild][Banyecredit] Don’t say such unpleasant things

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋ

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] What’s your relationship with Sisi?

[Guild][Haeyam] We should know to help you, right yam? ㅇㅅㅇ

[Guild][Banyecredit] I just hate him ㅡㅡ

[Guild][Banyecredit] His voice is slimy, what he says is cringy, his content isn’t good and I hate that he acts like he’s a content creator, I hate everything

[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] That’s not just the level of dislike

[Guild][Haeyam] Did something happen yam?

I thought I gave reasonably logical reasons, but it only raised more suspicion.

Then Banye stepped in to help me.

[Guild][Aang] Stop paying attention to Aang

The chat stopped for a moment at his firm words.

But it backfired. Banye’s intervention actually provoked jeers from the guild members.

[Guild][Yeongmyeong] Ooh boom

[Guild][Yeongmyeong] What is this, just you two sharing a secret world! Yes or no?

[Guild][Neda] This is too much

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] You tell Banye but won’t tell us?

[Guild][Banyecredit] It’s just… I just don’t like him……

[Guild][Suckeot3] I’m hurt

[Guild][Suckeot3] I partied with Aang quite a lot too

[Guild][Banyecredit] No… it’s not that……

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] I’m on Sisi’s side ㅎ

[Guild][Banyecredit] What?

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] If it bothers you, talk about Sisi ㅎ

[Guild][Banyecredit] ㅡㅡ;;

[Guild][Haeyam] We need an explanation yam, you’re always suddenly cursing Sisi so we don’t know what’s going on either yam ㅇㅅㅇ……

Haeyam’s last comment made it sound like the guild members were tired because I kept cursing Sisi.

No, that was probably right. I’d been cursing Sisi like a madman for the past few days…… At the same time, I felt depressed by my own frustration at not being able to explain this tedious and embarrassing past clearly.

But then, Banye said to the guild members:

[Guild][Aang] You just need to know that Sisi is a bastard, why do you keep asking for explanations

[Guild][Aang] If you’re that curious, go ask Sisi

[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋ why the sudden outburst?

[Guild][Aang] Pathetic

[‘Aang’ has logged out]

After that, the guild members didn’t ask me anymore, and I was bewildered but at the same time very grateful that Banye had cut things off and drawn a cold line.

I contacted Banye in the Discord 1:1 chat.

[Aang] Banye-ssi

[Hwang Hyunjung] What

And we spoke almost simultaneously.

[Aang] Thank you

[Hwang Hyunjung] Don’t say thank you

[Aang] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Hwang Hyunjung] Haah

[Aang] Why shouldn’t I say thank you?

[Hwang Hyunjung] Never mind

Then after a while, Banye said to me:

[Hwang Hyunjung] For a while, either don’t talk about Sisi or only talk to me about it

Those words hurt my feelings a little.

I don’t know why I felt stung, but I became a bit sullen and answered with effort.

[Aang] I should do that……

[Hwang Hyunjung] Not too often x

[Aang] ㅇㅋ… I won’t be annoying

But whether Banye noticed my misunderstanding, he began to explain at quite some length, for Banye.

[Hwang Hyunjung] It’s not that it’s annoying, it’s just that talking about it will only make you feel worse

[Hwang Hyunjung] Anyway, isn’t the one who’s desperate not you but him?

[Hwang Hyunjung] He was clinging to you

“……”

I didn’t know why my eyes suddenly became red, and only my fingers trembled. My heart grew heavy over something that should have been simple—just saying “you’re right” and “thank you.”

[Aang] Am I not annoying to you?

So I ended up asking that question. Even as I asked it, I felt some regret.

‘Of course he’ll say no.’

Actually, this was a question I’d asked Sisi before too.

Sisi also said I wasn’t annoying. Rather, he said I was cute. So I felt relieved and at the same time came to like Sisi tremendously.

What would Banye answer……?

[Hwang Hyunjung] That’s why I don’t respond when you’re annoying

[Aang] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Honest.

I felt like something that had been tangled in a corner of my heart was being untangled, and soon I was able to talk to Banye like usual.

[Aang] You seem less annoyed by me lately lol

[Aang] You answer me often lol Right?
