Side Story 5: Estasia TV
It had been quite a long time since I started living with two angels.
During that time, Aronia and Estasia, the two angels, seemed to have adapted to the modern life in their own way.
Of course, they were careful not to expose their halos and wings outside, but they were now well-versed in the benefits of civilization and the life beyond the network.
For example, Estasiaβs hobby had changed to gaming.
She spent 80 percent of her waking hours playing video games or online games.
Just like she was doing right now, using a controller to play a fighting game.
ββ¦β
Thud. Thwack.
Every time Estasiaβs fingers moved the controller, a merciless combo followed.
The opponentβs character, who had allowed Estasiaβs character to combo, was in a critical state.
Estasia, who was busy moving her fingers, soon knocked down the opponentβs character.
On Estasiaβs screen, the word βWINβ was prominently displayed.
She had won the match against her opponent.
Estasia made a V sign with her fingers and said to me.
βMaster. I won again.β
She smiled and boasted of her victory.
I nodded my head with a half-hearted smile and replied.
I didnβt feel like teasing her when she was happy with her win.
Besides, Estasiaβs matching rank was also close to the top.
I gave her a short compliment that was not sincere.
ββ¦Well. Youβre amazing.β
βIβll keep defeating your enemies.β
I couldnβt help but wonder about Estasiaβs words that followed.
Why were Estasiaβs opponents my enemies?
They were just Estasiaβs opponents.
I asked her directly to clear up the doubt in my mind.
βWhy are they my enemies?β
βAnyone who blocks Estasia is your enemy.β
ββ¦?β
βEstasia is the most excellent angel on earth.β
Was it because of Estasiaβs words?
Aronia, who was watching us, stopped the broom she was holding.
She looked at Estasia, who was engrossed in the game, and made a sharp remark.
βEstasiaβ¦ If youβre such an excellent angel, why donβt you clean up your feathers?β
βItβs okay. Aronia will take care of everything.β
βEstasia is always like that. What are you going to do without me?β
βLetβs live together forever. Aronia.β
But in the end, she couldnβt refute Estasiaβs logic and bowed her head and continued cleaning.
I felt a bit sorry for her.
I was the one who made them have a master-servant relationship at first, but now Aronia couldnβt get away from Estasiaβs grasp.
Even if I gave her freedom now, she wouldnβt be able to leave Estasia.
I chuckled and watched them.
Then, Estasia, who was holding a controller, picked up another one and said to me.
βMaster. Letβs play together.β
βOkay. One round wonβt hurt.β
I gladly accepted Estasiaβs offer.
I wasnβt very good at fighting games, but it wasnβt bad to play with her sometimes.
Especially since Estasia wanted to play with me.
I didnβt hesitate and grabbed the controller.
I chose a character that was considered a cheat character by the players.
Estasia picked a difficult character that required precise control.
A cheat character and a high-difficulty character.
It was clear which one had the advantage.
βThis time, I defeated you, master.β
And the game was over soon.
The result was my defeat.
Estasiaβs brilliant hand skills made my character lose without any resistance.
But I didnβt accept the result cleanly.
I gave Estasia a suspicious look.
I had noticed something strange about her during the game.
βEstasia. What did you do just now?β
I saw Estasiaβs eyes turn golden while playing the game.
And at the same time, her hand movements became faster.
They were different from before.
Estasia looked at me with her eyes turning golden again.
She reproduced the phenomenon that had happened before.
βI used holy magic.β
βHoly magicβ¦?β
βItβs a magic that only high-ranking angels can use. It makes your thinking speed 10 times fasterβ¦β
βThatβs cheating.β
I moved my finger and slapped Estasiaβs forehead.
She had used cheat in front of me. freew(e)bnovel.com
I gave her a stinging punishment with my finger.
Estasia covered her forehead and made a crying face.
βHuek.β
βEstasia. One more round.β
After punishing her, I forbade her from using magic and asked for a rematch.
The next match was my victory.
It wasnβt because my skills had suddenly improved, or because Estasiaβs skills were lacking without cheat.
Estasia was good at games even without magic.
It was just that I used my power this time.
The reason was simple.
I just wanted to win the game.
I used my power to knock down Estasia and said with a smug look.
βYou still lack skill. You need to work harder.β
It was a very evil thing to do, even by my standards.
***
Estasia, who played games every day, started to buy electronic devices one day.
She bought things like computers, cameras, and microphones online.
She used to only order strawberries and ice cream with the money I gave her, so I was very surprised by her behavior.
I asked her why she was doing this.
She showed me the controller and said.
βSomeone called me a coward.β
βIn the game?β
βThey said they could win the whole round in 10 seconds without the program. But Estasia doesnβt use any program.β
Of course.
Estasia used magic instead.
I didnβt see much difference, but she seemed reluctant to admit it.
So her solution was to start a personal broadcast and prove her innocence.
I gave up on trying to stop her, and told Estasia to do whatever she wanted.
βFine, just do as you please.β
βOkay.β
βIβll make sure your wings and halo donβt show up on the camera.β
For the next few days, Aronia, who learned about the broadcast settings through the internet, helped her.
She was a capable and clear-minded angel, quick to learn and accurate in her actions.
With Aroniaβs skilled touch, Estasiaβs studio was completed in no time.
As soon as the studio was ready and the broadcast settings were done, Estasia turned on the camera and started the broadcast.
More people than expected came to watch Estasiaβs broadcast, where she claimed to prove her innocence.
I had no idea how they found out the broadcast address and came so eagerly.
But it seemed that her account and play had been controversial on the internet from the beginning.
βYup. Today Iβm going to show you my game and prove it.β
βRight. My nickname is ezez1111.β
βI donβt use any programs or anything.β
Estasia showed her play to the people who came, proving herself with the camera.
She showed a scene where she shot down the opponentβs character with long-range attacks in a duel between the top-ranked players.
Of course, there were cases where the opponentβs character came out of the range of the long-range attack, but as soon as they did, they fell to Estasiaβs cheat combo.
After a few attempts, the opponent realized that approaching was meaningless and gave up resisting, choosing to die while only allowing long-range attacks.
As long as she proved her play by herself with the controller while the camera was on, the accusation of using a program was no longer valid.
-eksldpf donated 100 coins.
-eksldpf: Wow⦠this was not a program?
-ekslapf: This was real skill?
Right after Estasia finished the duel with another player with a one-sided victory.
The viewers who were watching her match poured out chats and donations.
The suspicion of program abuse towards her was cleared, and instead, many compliments began to flow.
-vmffnxh donated 1000 coins.
-doqjs donated 10000 coins.
-vmffnxh: Iβm sorry for doubting youβ¦ I donated as an apology.
-dkfhsldk: I saw you for the first time today, but youβre good at games and cute as a streamerβ¦ I donated for your success.
Some of them were even ridiculously large amounts of donations.
It was enough to make me gasp for a moment as I watched the broadcast.
Estasia seemed to be happy with the compliments, and she shrugged her shoulders with a V sign while looking at the camera.
Maybe someone didnβt like Estasiaβs behavior.
One viewer expressed a short complaint towards Estasia through the chat.
-vlxj: Whatβs with her? She got a million won and didnβt even say a proper thank you or reaction?
It was a suggestion that there should be something corresponding to the large amount of donations.
It was a hard thing to ignore for a professional broadcaster.
But Estasia showed a sullen look at the viewerβs chat.
Rather, she tilted her head and asked him a question.
βDo I have to be thankful if you give me money?β
-vlxj: Isnβt that obvious? If you get a million or two million won, you should have some reaction.
βIβm annoyedβ¦ I donβt want to say thank you.β
Estasia said that and kicked out the viewer who protested to her.
After that, she started to read the chats that the viewers posted one by one.
Most of them were compliments to her.
Of course, some chats were not properly delivered to her.
βYou look like an angel, but you play like a devilβ¦? Estasia doesnβt like devils.β
Estasia shook her head and read the next chat.
She didnβt understand the meaning of the chat.
Rather, she preferred more direct expressions.
For example, like the chat of the donor who gave her a large amount of money.
-dpqks: I donated, but thereβs no reaction and no fun.
-dpqks: I wonβt donate anymore.
βYou still have to send me money. I have to order strawberries and ice cream.β
Estasia argued her opinion without hesitation to the high-value donor.
Regardless of Estasiaβs attitude, the viewers had to pay her money, according to her theory.
-dptmxpf: Look at her conscience. Sheβll ask for all my assets at this rate.
βYup. Iβll like it if you give me all your assets.β
It soon evolved into a more advanced theory, that the viewers had to dedicate their assets to Estasia.
She liked the theory that she came up with herself.
Estasia repeatedly preached to the viewers that they had to dedicate their assets to her.
The reason was that she had to buy strawberries and ice cream.
βI think itβs better to give all your money to Estasia as a gift than to give it little by little.β
-dptmxpf: What do I eat and live on if I give you everything?
βYou donβt have to worry. Itβs not a shameful thing to donate to a great angel.β
It reminded me of a cultβs recruitment scene.
Estasia added a spoonful of sugar and packaged her story as a package product.
She started to justify her donations.
The donation product with added options soon changed into a form of indulgence.
Estasia, who abused her position as an angel, propagated her proposal through the microphone.
βIf you donate a lot, Iβll ask the master to let you go to heaven.β
βHeaven is a place where strawberries and ice cream come out five baskets a dayyyyyyyyyβ¦!β
I couldnβt stand it anymore and dragged Estasia out of the camera and ended the broadcast.
That was Estasiaβs first and last broadcast.
After that, Estasia never turned on the broadcast on the internet again.
Sometimes there were posts on the internet asking about her whereabouts, but there was never a proper answer about Estasiaβs whereabouts.
And there will never be.
As long as I keep my eyes open and watch her closely.
