[TS] Starting the Broadcast

“Don’t just scratch your bellies in your rooms, everyone. Exercise like this. You don’t know how refreshing and energizing it is.”
-Stop the fact violence!
-By the way, Hani’s gone crazy these days. Is her broadcast time for real? Morning broadcast, lunch broadcast, afternoon broadcast, even evening broadcast. She’s completely a broadcasting machine.
-A BJ who works this hard on broadcasting needs to be severely punished. Come on, let’s shower her with money.
[HaniLeftButtock has donated 300 water balloons.]
“Uh, um… Thank you HaniLeft for the donation. But please change that nickname.”
-ㅋ Look at this malicious viewer. Since Hani started night broadcasts, these kinds of people are going wild lately.
-You should read the donating viewer’s nickname correctly! That’s not very nice.
-People around must be bewildered hearing that ㅋ
At first, I did outdoor broadcasts without knowing better and received an incredible shower of stares from people around when the donation sound was too loud.
Since then, I always keep the donation alert sound at minimum volume.
No matter how thick-skinned I am, it’s hard to bear when passersby look at me like I’m crazy.
-Are you going home now to do the evening broadcast? No, is it the night broadcast?
-That’s right. It’s already a bit past 10, so it must be the night broadcast.
-Everyone please leave. It’s late, so I want to be alone with Hani.
-Seems like you’re the only one who needs to leave ㅋ
While chatting with viewers about various things, I headed home.
Recently, to increase the exercise effect, I’ve been walking home without fail on the way back from Myung-hoon’s gym.
It’s just about one bus stop away, so if I jog lightly, it’s only about a 7-8 minute distance.
“Now, today’s night broadcast is League of Legends, which you all love most! Just two more wins until the Master promotion series, so look forward to it!”
-No, who’s looking forward to League of Legends every day for a week? I feel like I’m going to die of boredom. Let’s play other games too.
-Don’t you know Hani’s eyes have gone crazy from leeching off former pros lately? ㅋ We’re in for forced League of Legends from now on too.
-But don’t you hear a strange sound? Is it just me?
“Huh? A strange sound?”
At first, I thought it might be someone’s joke trying to draw attention.
This area was generally quite dark because the houses and roads themselves were old, and the streetlights were spaced far apart.
So when I first finished exercising and went home alone late at night, viewers would try to scare me by joking that “someone is following behind” or “there’s a ghost behind you!”
I thought this was another such case.
-Huh? I think I heard it too? This isn’t a joke. Streamer, stop talking for a moment and focus.
-ㅋ The attention seekers’ acting skills have improved a lot. Saying they hear some strange sound. There’s nothing like that at all.
-I’m confused. I think I heard some kind of groaning sound too.
“……”
At this point, it’s hard to dismiss it as a joke.
So I stopped for a moment and focused to survey my surroundings.
“$#^&$#!@.”
“…!”
I heard it for a moment.
A small sound that seemed muffled and suppressed by something!
I swallowed dryly and carefully approached the source of the noise.
But the viewers were even more frantic.
-I-I’m scared. Let’s just run away. We’re all going to die at this rate!
-But what is that sound really? ㅋ Maybe it’s couples doing intimate things in a dark corner? It would be so embarrassing if you make eye contact ㅋ
-These days the world has so many problems, it only makes me think bad thoughts.
The place where the small sound was coming from was a shadowy corner of a dark alley.
I know because I’ve lived in this neighborhood for a long time, there’s a small unused warehouse at the end of the road, so it’s a place where people rarely pass by.
With an ominous feeling, I hardened my expression and carefully peeked inside from the starting point of the alley where it bends.
“…!”
“If you don’t keep quiet, you’re dead. I’ll slash your face with a knife. If you want to get plastic surgery multiple times, keep biting your hand and acting up.”
“Mmph!”
-Holy shit! Is this a real situation?
-What the hell is this?
-?????
Two shadows were tangled in the corner.
The person on top was in a position of restraining the smaller shadow underneath.
A low, gloomy voice echoes softly, and beneath it, a muffled groan with a covered mouth.
“Let’s just do it once and end this cleanly. I don’t want to complicate things either.”
“Mmph!”
“Ah, shit! You bitch, didn’t I tell you to keep quiet? Do you really want me to give you a scar on your face? Want me to make it so you can’t show your face in public from tomorrow?”
-Streamer, quickly run away. First escape to a place where you can’t hear the sound and then report it. It’s dangerous!
-This seems like a real situation. What should we do? Damn;;
-Ah, this is so scary.
Even I, when actually faced with this situation, felt dazed and found it hard to judge what to do.
Rationally, I knew I should report it first, but in this sudden crisis, my body instinctively froze and I couldn’t move easily.
“Wow, your breasts are quite… How many people have touched these? They’re luscious.”
“Hic, hic… Please, stop. I won’t report you.”
“You fucking bitch! Didn’t I tell you you’re dead if you talk nonsense one more time? Huh? Shut up and just enjoy it. Or bite your sleeve. If you make a sound and someone hears? Then I’ll just slash your face and run, so do as you like.”
The clothes of the person pinned down are being removed.
I witness the torn top fluttering as it’s thrown far away, and a rough hand groping over the underwear.
I instinctively realize that it’s dangerous if I delay any longer.
I took a small step back and decided I should report to the police first.
But at that moment…
[AttentionSeeker has donated 100 water balloons.]
-AttentionSeeker: First, run away!
-You crazy bastard. What are you doing?
-Is the person above in their right mind?
“…!”
“Fuck, what’s that!”
Although I had adjusted the donation message volume to minimum, because the alley was so quiet, it couldn’t escape the ears of the man who was extremely tense.
The moment the man’s head turned this way, our eyes met.
A cold gaze full of malice towards others.
The moment it focuses on me, my whole body freezes.
[You need to come to your senses. It’s a crisis situation!]
At that moment, the helper’s shout wakes me up!
I grit my teeth and press 112 with force.
The dial tone connects quickly.
At that moment, the man gets up and runs towards me.
I turn my body to run away while quickly explaining the address and situation here.
Meanwhile, I recognize the man’s footsteps getting closer and closer.
After emphasizing “hurry” several times into the phone, I looked back.
“…!”
“You damn bitch!”
He was right at my heels.
It’s no longer a situation where I can continue the phone call.
As I quickly turned my body, I threw my phone at the face of the man reaching out towards me.
Thwack-!
“Ugh!”
Fortunately.
It hit his face squarely.
The sight of the man stumbling backward, clutching his eye.
I screamed with all my might.
“Kyaa! Robber! Rapist! Help me!”
Murmur, murmur!
This is a residential area.
Even though it’s dark, lights start turning on here and there at my sharp scream breaking the silence.
The man is momentarily flustered.
But soon he hardens his face and points a knife at me.
“You’re fucked. You know? Now that it’s come to this, you can’t escape either. Let’s go all the way to the end.”
“…!”
The man seemed to have given up on running away.
So the situation became even more dangerous.
We were already in a standoff, so it was no longer possible to run away, and the man full of malice was slowly closing the distance at close range.
“I wonder what face you’re hiding under that mask. Is it pretty? I’ll check soon and slash it all up, so look forward to it.”
The opponent was a sturdy man estimated to be in his late 30s to early 40s.
He was taller than me and probably weighed at least 15kg more.
And he was holding a knife.
[There’s no other way. Purchase abilities!]
“……”
I know that too.
How foolish it is to hesitate in this situation.
My hands trembled with regret, but I checked the abilities recommended by the helper.
Flexible Body 3, Jujutsu 2, Sharp Senses 2, Strong Strike 2… 910 points disappeared in an instant.
But this isn’t enough.
As I was about to choose a few more abilities, the man who had already approached close stabbed with his knife.
If it were before, I might have clumsily stepped back and gotten stabbed or given him a chance to attack again, but not now.
My body, imbued with the power of abilities, reacts naturally.
I slightly twist my body to face forward and strike his abdomen with a front kick.
Since my leg was a bit longer than the combined length of his arm and what seemed to be a small knife, my attack landed first.
“Die!”
Although I momentarily stopped the first attack, the difference in gender and weight class was clear.
The sight of the man ignoring my extended front kick and pushing in like a wild boar.
Based on the Flexible Body ability, I didn’t resist and fell backward.
While maintaining the direction of force, I strongly grab and pull the opponent’s right wrist, who also lost his balance.
The disgusting face comes closer.
I grit my teeth and use my strength to support the collapsing opponent’s abdomen with my foot.
And without missing the timing when my back touches the ground, I perfectly flip him over backwards.
It was a scene you might only see in a fighting game.
My shoulder blade area aches a bit because the breakfall wasn’t perfect.
But the impact on the man who was thrown with all my body weight must be much greater.
“Ugh! Ah… damn it.”
As expected.
The sight of the man wriggling on the ground, having dropped his knife.
The impact seemed greater than I thought.
This is a chance I can’t miss.
I quickly got up, ran to the man’s side, and strongly kicked his flank.
A groan that sounds like his breath was momentarily blocked comes out.
While kicking the knife far away with my foot, I mounted the man’s body and struck his face with my fist a couple of times.
I can’t let him recover completely.
By chance, a big technique succeeded in dealing damage, but fundamentally, it was an impossible fight starting from the weight class difference.
“Aaargh!”
As expected, the man who quickly recovered twisted his body and threw me off.
It was brute force without any technique, but the difference in physical ability and weight class was that big.
I quickly retreated and took a defensive stance again.
By then, the surroundings had become completely bright.
Over 90% of the nearby houses had their lights on, and some residents had come out due to the unexpected commotion in the middle of the night and were witnessing the current situation.
And among them were some sturdy-looking men.
I quickly gestured towards them, clearly expressing my need for help.
At first, the crowd hesitated, wondering if they might get in trouble by interfering, but as their numbers grew, they gained courage and rushed at the criminal.
And together, everyone subdued the criminal.
“Aaargh! You damn bastards. Let go! I said let go!”
“Wow, that’s so cool. How did you do that, noona? Hot, hup! Hiyah! When you did that, that guy went flying.”

“……”
Meanwhile, a kid had approached and was filming with his phone, holding it out and asking.
Feeling all the strength drain from my body, I gave a weak laugh and sent the child away saying I needed to rest because I was tired.
And shortly after, police cars arrived.
They took over the subdued criminal and looked for the initial reporter.
I weakly raised my hand as I was surrounded by people, becoming a spectacle.
When asked if I could go to the police station now to write a statement and explain the incident details, I lightly nodded.
And for the first time in my life, I rode in a police car.
It really was… a day that made you say, “Can such things happen in this world?”
