The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart-Chapter 158: Club Owner

[Virtual YouTuber Gallery]

[General] Do you remember when Sina beat Anna?

(Laura Sina wedding picture)

Shhh, the wedding is starting.

[Comments]

LmaoㅋㅋㅋㅋI'm Sora, and this marriage is null and void

ㄴ Haha wwww

ㄴ [Killing me, nya]

Just for Anna beating SinaㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy does Laura Sina have so many of these pics

ㄴ There’s definitely someone who draws them like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ That's because Sina is the main wife

ㄴ Stop it, Sina, you're the one!

ㄴ Welcome, Sora

Mashina wins!Why all the fussㅋㅋㅋ

===

"Oh, Sina's doing well."

Barubara laughed heartily with a "Kahaha!"

"That was cool. Director, can you let me play a dual-wielder next time? I’ll carry the team!"

"Depends on the ban-pick situation. And by the way, I’m not the director, I’m the team owner."

"Director, team owner, it’s all the same! Hahaha!"

Barubara kept elbowing Choi Ga-ho. Perhaps it was because all the other team members were female, but Barubara seemed pretty excited about meeting Choi Ga-ho.

Choi Ga-ho didn’t seem to mind Barubara’s enthusiasm either. He just shrugged.

"I think Mashina has practiced a lot. That’s not the kind of play you can pull off just by chance."

"Oh? So does that mean the director can't do something like that?"

"I could, but I’d have to practice first. The parrying skill’s surprisingly good, so it’s not like I can't do it—"

As the conversation continued, the team members were discussing Leviathan in general while I quietly brought out a new cup of tea in this VR space.

Sipping the tea with cookies, I momentarily got lost in thought.

‘Anna’s skill has really improved.’

I was impressed by Sina, but I was paying more attention to Anna.

I had taught Anna how to play as a Magical Engineer, but I never taught her how to duel in that role.

Though she lost to Sina, if you just looked at her performance, Anna’s play was nearly perfect. Of course, she got lucky when she found Sina, but the process to reach that point was the best she could do.

‘Did Vincent teach her? Or...?’

Maybe the team owner had trained her.

The Cerberus owner, MadMask, is a professional gamer, and he’s {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} somewhat of a trauma for Rinco.

MadMask is quite famous in the Chinese league, so his skill is certainly significant.

"Hey, Aurora, you’ve been lost in thought for a while. Is something bothering you?"

Suddenly, Choi Ga-ho spoke up.

I put my tea cup down on the table and looked toward Choi Ga-ho.

"I’m not really bothered. I was just thinking about something for a bit."

"Please, share it with us."

"Huh?"

"Even if it’s something small, it’s better to share it."

Choi Ga-ho said with a friendly tone.

"After watching the match, I think Laura might have had some insight or question. However, leaving it as just Laura’s personal realization might not be the best. The team should know it too, so that we can form a strategy when we face Behemoth later."

"Hmm."

That was a good point.

I admired it without realizing it. It must be a mindset that comes from being a professional gamer, something I hadn’t thought of.

Maybe it was because I had been playing solo games for so long. Despite having played many games in the past, forming a team was something I’d never really done before.

I learned something new from him.

"I was just thinking that Anna's skills have improved."

"Anna, you say?"

I casually mentioned Anna.

Choi Ga-ho nodded.

"Most likely, MadMask taught her. I think he told her to play Magical Engineer in the duel mode."

"Why’s that?"

"I’m not entirely sure. MadMask’s thinking is a bit hard to understand. He’s got a rather shady side to him."

Shady?

"Are you close with him?"

"We're not that close, but we’ve had a meal together."

That seemed pretty close, in my opinion.

As I was thinking that, Barubara casually asked a question.

"By the way, why did you pick me over Anna, Director? Considering the synergy with Laura, Anna would’ve been a better choice than me."

"Well, if I hadn’t picked Rui, I might have picked Anna. For example, let’s say there was a disagreement between Rui and Laura. Most people would side with Rui."

"I don’t plan on fighting with Laura."

Rui timidly raised her hand to join the conversation.

"It’s just a hypothetical situation. If something like that happened, which side would you take, Barubara?"

"If I had to pick one side, it’d be Rui. I’ve known her for a long time."

"That’s understandable. Rui has more experience, so I get it. But Laura is Leviathan’s ace, so she should have some say too. That’s why I decided to pair Anna with Sora."

Also, Anna’s issue was that she was a huge fan of Rui. If things got rough, she might end up siding with Rui instead of me.

On the other hand, Sora, as a teammate, was more likely to side with me over Rui, so Choi Ga-ho decided to pair her with Anna.

"Wouldn’t it be better to just pick both of them?"

"Then Sora and Anna would be fighting all the time..."

"Kahahaha! The director really knows his stuff! Your understanding of VTubers is on point! Hahaha!"

Barubara laughed, tapping the table. It looked like a pretty happy life.

"But personally, I don’t like the idea of Anna going to Cerberus. Since Anna is close to Laura, Cerberus will likely come up with strategies to counter her."

"Oh, do you think I’d lose to someone like Anna?"

[KingRockKingKing donated 1,000 won]

[LOL]

[KuroWeightOutsideYou donated 1,000 won]

[That’s a bit harsh LOL]

"I’m sorry if I offended you."

Choi Ga-ho immediately apologized, though his face didn’t seem particularly remorseful.

"By the way, you mentioned sharing something small earlier, Director?"

"Yes, I did. Is there something on your mind?"

"I think this is the first time you’ve shown your face, excluding practice. Is there something that made you change your mind about participating in today’s broadcast?"

"......."

A silence filled the room.

Even Barubara, who had been laughing just a moment ago, and Mero, who had been quietly giggling, stopped. Sora looked a bit flustered, Rui avoided eye contact, and Kirin seemed like he wanted to say, "Why are you asking that here?"

But, honestly, everyone must have been curious.

The team practices had mostly been just us six, but the team owner, Choi Ga-ho, never really showed his face.

It was clear he was busy with his pro-gamer activities, but still, it would’ve been nice if he showed up more often.

"It’s just a little question, of course, you’ll answer, right?"

"...Of course."

Choi Ga-ho cleared his throat.

"My wife told me to get out and socialize with people."

With a serious face, Choi Ga-ho said this.

Immediately, Barubara and Mero burst into laughter.

2nd: Behemoth 8pts (Remaining games: 4)

3rd: Leviathan 7pts (Remaining games: 5)

4th: Gryphon 1pt (Remaining games: 5)

The Behemoth vs Cerberus match was intense, but Cerberus came out on top with a victory in the Gate Capture Mode.

Three notable points to watch:

Behemoth’s ace is stronger.The owner battle was won by Cerberus.And the personal focus was on Choi Ga-ho’s wife’s story rather than the actual match.

Just like hearing a teacher’s first love story in class, the team was more interested in hearing about his personal life.

"Today’s broadcast ended with that..."

"... I guess I'll leave the love story for later."

"Hey, where are you going, Director?"

"Yeah, where's later? When’s later?"

Barubara grabbed Choi Ga-ho’s shoulder, and Mero whined like a child. Kirin subtly looked like he was also waiting for the love story to continue.

Choi Ga-ho looked awkward, but he couldn’t escape from the situation.

It seemed like the story of how they’d been together since middle school was hard for him to resist telling.

Even I, someone who's serious about gaming, found myself interested. Sora, who was next to me, seemed equally focused on listening.

"So, Rui... what do you think about this?"

"Hmm..."

Rui hesitated for a moment, not immediately responding.

But she didn’t really try to steer the situation away from the topic.

It was a look that said she wanted to hear it too.

"Well, I guess we should set the date for the next collab, huh, Team Owner?"

"Collab... you mean a joint stream?"

"Yeah."

I nodded.

While the love story was definitely intriguing, the more pressing matter was the fact that Leviathan had become quite close as a team, but it seemed like Choi Ga-ho was being left out a bit. It wasn’t the best feeling, so I thought it was time for him to join in more.

Up until now, he’d avoided joining collabs, probably to let us bond, but it was time he started participating more.

"If we’re going to play games together or something, I don’t mind. My wife told me to socialize with the team anyway."

"Ooh, pure love~."

"... Mero, stop teasing me."

Choi Ga-ho sighed but agreed to join the collab.

A few days later, he logged into Dungeon Seeker.

"Team Owner, do you like mealworms?"

"... Huh?"

"I got a mealworm ad, and I have a lot of coupons left over. Want to use them?"

This was in the Mansion Dungeon. The participants were me, Son Nalim, Sora, Mero, and Choi Ga-ho.

As we cooked rats and bugs to replenish our supplies, I asked him, "I have a lot of mealworms at home. I've been giving them away to others."

"... That’s fine. My wife probably won’t like them."

"My wife said it was okay."

"... Huh?"

I sent a message.

【My husband is always relying on me! I love watching his streams♡♡♡

Please feel free to boss him around, he’s such a lazy bum, give him a good kick!】

"I sent this to her on SNS. She said it’s okay if I kick him. Should I do it physically?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

"... I’ll politely decline."

It seemed like our team owner was living under his wife’s thumb.
