Genius Archer Streaming Season 4 Episode 69
23. Cheese vs. Paprika (3)
A channel from Thisworld.
Two men enter.
“Hey. Orange.”
A plump man waves his hand.
The one who appeared in front of him was streamer Orange.
“Uh. Sausage.”
“What are you doing? Are you trying to form a team?”
The sausage immediately noticed Orange’s intentions.
‘Because this kind of work is done quickly.’
The idea is to pre-form a team for the platform competition that is currently being discussed.
Because there’s a big difference between making a promise in advance and not.
“Yeah. You’re the most reliable among the amateur tankers.”
sausage.
He was a streamer who had reached 3rd place in the Challenger rankings as an amateur.
Although he had advanced during the season when the pros were resting, it was clear that his level was far different from that of ordinary people.
“Hmm. Who else is there? Who do you have in mind?”
“He’s not the original person at Paprika, he’s a newbie.”
Orange gives a meaningful smile and raises his thumb.
“Newbie?”
“Uh. Almond.”
Shh.
He says this, expecting some kind of reaction.
The sausage looks bewildered.
“What? What kind of ham-bashing is this? That guy… … .”
Orange waves his hand as if he knows everything.
“Ah, ah. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I checked all this person’s playing time. It was the same during the national competition, and at this level, he’s more than enough to win… … .”
“No, you idiot. That’s not it!”
The sausage twirls its plump arms.
“Don’t just sit there all day taking gloomy notes. Watch the news and live!”
“……what?”
“It doesn’t come with almond paprika. It comes with cheese.”
“… … .”
This can’t be happening.
Orange’s face looked as if his soul had been sucked out of him.
“Why… Why? You’re so talented!? If Paprika came, it would be a huge hit!?”
“That’s just what you think… … Please, consider that other people think differently… … .”
“Eww!”
Orange fell down screaming as if he had stepped on a landmine.
“Oh… … I’m screwed!”
“If you’re going to do it, you might as well say that Ham is ruined. I have a lot of young viewers.”
“Ah, ahhhhhh!”
The sausage’s request did not enter Orange’s head.
“I heard that the Paprika side is almost done talking!?”
“A contract can change even a second before it is stamped.”
“Ugh… … Damn. He’s the best.”
He probably doesn’t know.
No, it’s better not to know.
It was none other than his own negligence that caused the almonds to turn into cheese.
* * *
“yes?”
It was something Sang-Hyeon never thought of.
“Team?”
“Yes. I heard that there was a platform competition.”
Can I really play the game again?
“Ah… … Team. I haven’t found one yet. But I don’t even know how to make a team yet.”
“My friends are leaving Paprika.”
huh?
Sang-Hyeon had a hard time following the flow of the story.
Regardless, she continues to talk as if she has more to say.
“Do you know Cosmic?”
“uh…….”
I don’t know.
“He was our team’s ranged attacker.”
“ah.”
“Not just Cosmic, but popcorn too. Everything is gone.”
“I… …all of it?”

“Yes. All of them.”
Yes, that’s right.
Legendary members who once swept all the competitions in Reel like an electromagnetic wave.
As time passed, they retired one by one.
That means they’re starting to work as streamers now.
And it’s made from paprika!
‘I wondered why Paprika accepted the challenge.’
Why Paprika, which has more to lose, accepted this competition, and why the biggest sponsor of this competition is Police Sign, who developed the reel.
Everything falls into place.
The most popular members of Reel are returning as streamers.
Perhaps the debut stage is this platform competition.
That’s why Choi Sarang knew about the platform competition in advance.
“Oh, of course. He said he’d leave me out.”
The group chat room she showed had members talking about platform competition.
[Popcorn: Hey, Gao. Shouldn’t we change positions and go out?]
[Banana: Hehe. It’s a survival game, what position are you in?]
[Popcorn: Ah… … It’s a survival game??? Why are you playing this old-school game?]
[Idiot: Haha, you didn’t know anything.]
[Marshmallow: Guys… … You know we still have to win, right???]
[Idiot: I’m first anyway~]
.
.
.
I think that person whose name I lost is Cosmic.
Even though their relationship has improved to the point where they have created a group chat again, it seems that Cosmic is a love-hate relationship for Choi Sa-rang.
And it looks like the other members are soon on the verge of losing their names as well.
Why are you talking so much about the competition without her?
[Marshmallow: Hey guys, let’s stop talking about that. You’re just going to do it roughly anyway.]
Only when Supporter Marshmallow noticed and stopped them did the people become silent.
It seems that only then did he notice.
[Popcorn: Huh? Okay okay lol okay okay]
Popcorn was flustered and finished his message roughly, and after that, Banana started to steer the chat upwards, bringing up some strange topic.
In a way, they did their best.
So, to some people, Choi Sarang may seem sensitive. They may say, “They try hard too, right?”
But I don’t know about other people, but Sang-Hyeon understood.
‘I can’t watch the archery competition either.’
Sang-Hyeon also cannot watch archery matches for similar reasons.
Hyun-ju and several of his peers were active as professionals, and the same goes for contemporaries he admired or was mentioned as a promising player.
Except for Sang-Hyeon, all of them participated in competitions, built their careers, and were even selected as national representatives.
The archery industry carried on as normal without him, as if nothing had happened.
I knew it was a natural thing to do, but I couldn’t ignore it after seeing it with my own eyes. It was best not to see it.
So desperately did he run away from the archery range.
But this man couldn’t even run away.
Still constantly circling around the game.
Like a little kid wandering around the neighborhood playground, trying to fit in with his friends.
But it never fits.
Sang-Hyeon seemed to know very well what that would feel like.
“They know they’ll be number one even if they go out now. Who is it thanks to?”
Even the way he is pouting and complaining now sounds more like dissatisfaction with the current situation than resentment towards them.
There is now a white cigarette in her disgruntled, pouty mouth.
Her gaze rose upward and she asked Sang-Hyeon.
“Do you smoke?”
* * *
Chiik.
She blew smoke in front of the vending machine.
Sang-Hyeon just took a sip of a can of coffee.
“Popcorn used to come to the hospital with me often, but he’s not here today.”
“… … .”
I guess it’s because of the preparation for the competition.
Sang-Hyeon had nothing to say, so he just said this.
“Joo-hyuk isn’t coming either because he’s busy playing.”
In fact, they are not playing, they are working.
“With that editor?”
“Oh, yes. I see.”
“I saw you when we came together before.”
“ah.”
Hoo. She turned her head and changed the subject, blowing smoke into the distance.
“Did you hear that I was the first to do a clinical trial this time?”
Heart pounding.
Sang-Hyeon swallowed dry saliva.
‘I heard it firsthand.’
I just glossed over it because the doctor didn’t recommend it to him.
Sang-Hyeon had expected this to some extent.
The situation is so dire that she’ll be the first to try it out.
“How was it?”
“It’s not that there was no progress.”
Even just hearing this much, it was hard to hide the disappointment on Sang-Hyeon’s face.
I could already feel it in the tone.
It’s not like I found any great hope.
Love tries not to meet eyes and looks at the distant mountains as if it already knows that.
“It just keeps getting worse. Just like the Zombie School Engine before. Are you disappointed?”
“Oh, no. It’s an experiment.”
“Don’t be disappointed.”
Love speaks as if it already knows.
“If a lot of people are connected and doing a wavelength change ceremony, it’s different. That theory is still alive. You have to believe it. Legend Tale.”
There was silence for a moment.
Sang-Hyeon didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He couldn’t even lament.
She did the experiment and the situation is worse for her.
She can’t even walk. Even daily life is inconvenient. It’s not just inconvenient, it’s in the realm of ‘impossible.’ If she hadn’t had the wealth and resources to support her, she would have suffered all kinds of hardships.
It’s not a pain that can be compared to a slight shaking of the arm.
“But why didn’t you get a team? You must be popular.”
“I just found out. I even know what the sport is.”
“ah.”
Love nods as if to say that it is worth it.
There is another moment of silence.
‘Team talk again?’
It looks like she wants to join the team.
But how?
I heard you can’t play the game again.
A thought that comes to mind around this time.
‘Oh, by the way, there’s a coach.’
It was written on one of the messages I received from Joo-hyuk. He said he was forming a team, including a coach.
As a coach, I was originally thinking of something like takoyaki.
‘however…….’
There are takoyaki too, but it’s hard to stop thinking about this.
‘The subject is also reel… … .’
What if this guy were a coach?
But Sang-Hyeon couldn’t bring up the subject easily.
It wasn’t easy to make a suggestion because I didn’t know what the situation would be.
Just like Sang-Hyeon did with archery, isn’t it possible that love and games can be so unpleasant to look at?
But sadly, love was like this.
‘You said you didn’t find a team… … Do you have someone in mind as a coach?’
She is also considering a coaching position.
They are both thinking exactly the same thing.
But in reality, all you can hear is the sound of a cigarette burning out.
‘It’s hard to say that I’m a coach first.’
‘I can’t ask you to coach me.’
Neither of them are the type to speak first.
Almost ten minutes passed in silence.
It’s the worst conversational compatibility.
Chiik.
The cigarette that had been completely burned out was thrown into the ashtray.
The winner of this silent contest ended up like this.
“under.”
She took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind and asked.
“Do you have a coach in mind?”
The hand in Sang-Hyeon’s pocket is clenched into a fist.
‘oh my god.’
That kid Kim Joo-hyuk, he kept pestering me to participate in the social gathering because I couldn’t find a team.
‘I have something to brag about.’
Before we even got to the social event, we had a top-notch member.
