Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast

Train.
In fact, this word doesn’t evoke much for me.
It was just a means of transportation.
But now,
I couldn't help but feel that riding the train might actually be quite fun.

"Let’s grab some snacks."
"Snacks? What kind?"
"I was thinking about chips or something."
"Chips sound good."
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Chips? The best are corn chips, of course.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Anything else is just not as good.]
[Oh, crazy auntie ㅋㅋ]
[What’s with the corn chips?]
[Chips should be shrimp chips, no debate.]
[You have to respect all types of chips, though. Personally, I love kimchi-flavored potato chips.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Kimchi-flavored potato chips are legit.]
[Those are surprisingly tasty.]
[???]
By the way, something I’ve noticed whenever LeoRe isn’t streaming is that the viewers seem much calmer.
It’s like they think before they type in the chat.

‘LeoRe definitely is a game for the sick-minded.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to play LeoRe.
It’s fun, after all.
How could I say I wouldn’t play it when it’s so enjoyable?
It’s not like the stream would get shut down if I played LeoRe.
With that thought, I entered a nearby convenience store with Mangming.
"What are you going to get? I already know my go-to snack."
"What’s that?"
"Matdong-sang."
"Ah, that one’s good."

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Shiiiit.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Why are you eating that, not even a chip, what’s wrong with you.]
[Matdong-sang, seriously? Haha.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: You old-timer, die. Die old-timer, die old-timer, die old-timer.]
[If it’s any other snack, maybe, but Matdong-sang is garbage, you idiot.]
[Really annoying...]
[Is this for real?]
[The Great Dong Mountain.]
[The New Dong Mountain.]
[Hwanhee: Matdong-sang is actually good.]
A lot of people who haven’t tried Matdong-sang might just know it as a meme, but it’s actually a really tasty snack.
It’s only the people who don’t know snacks that dismiss it.
"Stop dismissing Matdong-sang. It’s so good. Even when I was poor, I’d still buy it."

[??]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: If you’re poor, you should save... ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Matdong-sang is really expensive.]
[How much is Matdong-sang then?]
[Surprisingly, it’s 1800 won for 90 grams.]
[What the hell, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Damaya, save some money, damn.]
[20 won per gram, ㅋㅋ]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Damaya probably lied about being poor, how else would he afford such expensive snacks.]
[How good can it be?]
[This is hilarious.]
I laughed, but honestly, it was somewhat true.
Even when I was really poor, I still bought a bit of Matdong-sang.
It’s somewhat nostalgic.
With those thoughts, I added Matdong-sang to my basket.
"What about you, what are you getting?"

Now it was Mangming’s turn to pick his snack.
I was curious to see what snack he’d pick.
"I’ll get... BichoB."
"...What’s that?"
It was the first time I’d heard of that snack.
It wasn’t even anchovies or anything.
Curious, I quickly glanced at the chat to see if anyone knew what it was.

[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Woah, that’s legit.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Gotta admit.]
[The Great BichoB.]
[BichoB is actually good.]
[Don’t mix that garbage with Matdong-sang.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: These guys are literally making a Reld Cup out of snacks now.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I’m losing it.]
[How are they the originators of ReldCup, though, LOL.]
Looking at the chat, it seemed like everyone knew the snack.
Their reactions were heated.
"Alright, then choose that one."

Just as we were picking snacks,
"Eh...!?"
I heard someone gasp in surprise in front of me, then someone approached me.
And then-
"DaMa oppa!! I’m your fan!!"
A fan declaration.

[Look at him, acting like this, little shit.]
[My oppa! Don’t touch him! Don’t touch my oppa!]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: DaMa is everyone's oppa, true... ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: He’s been getting more popular lately.]
[His subscriber count has gone up a lot.]
[Don’t know why his subscribers keep rising..]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I’ve unsubscribed, guess it’s time for DaMa to wake up.]
[It’s all about keeping discipline, ㅋㅋ.]
If this had happened earlier, I’d have been shocked, but now, I wasn’t surprised anymore.
There were a lot of people who came up to me declaring themselves my fans like this.
‘It’s the glory of having 400k subscribers, so there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Having 400k subscribers, I couldn’t avoid it.
It’s the life of a celebrity, I guess.
"Ah, hello."
"Wow... didn’t think I’d meet you here!"
It seemed like she had been watching my stream just now, with her phone still in hand.
She was so into it, watching even outside.

"Do you want me to take a picture with you?"
At least, I could take a photo.
Normally, I wasn’t one to like taking photos, but if they were a fan and loved me like that, taking a photo wasn’t a problem.
"Picture...! Sounds great!"

The fan eagerly accepted.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: She’s really excited.]
[Why is she so into this? Haha.]
[Should’ve gone to Seoul Station, should’ve gone to Seoul Station, should’ve gone to Seoul Station, should’ve gone to Seoul Station.]
[But why are all the girls who like DaMa so pretty? Annoying as hell.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Fact: Ugly girls don’t go out.]
[Ah.]
[Ah.]
[Ah.]
[Kick that guy out, he’s only saying bullshit.]
[But, it’s true, though.]
[Chat’s going wild again, haha.]
"Take a picture with me."
"Ah, okay."

I asked Mangming to take the photo with the fan.
Then, a moment later.
"Ah, thank you...! I’ll go now!"
She grabbed the photo and quickly disappeared.

"Eh, why didn’t that person take a picture with me?"
"...Maybe they forgot?"
I couldn’t tell Mangming the truth.
I didn’t want him to get upset.
But it was still odd.
Mangming was quite popular too, yet she didn’t take a picture with him.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: She knows... ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: She knows.]
[Mangming..]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I’ll find her Instagram and harass her, wait for it.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: 11qpdl <<< Just go there.]
[What the hell, I found a feed full of shit. Damn.]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[This guy is crazy, haha.]

The chat was once again in chaos.
But... I had no strength to stop it.
I just hoped the manager would do a good job, though looking at the manager’s nickname, I wasn’t very confident.
‘Right, just keep it moderate.’
As long as they blocked out the weird chat messages going to the stream, I didn’t really feel like complaining.
After all, I wasn’t getting paid that much to have a manager.
Though, I’d definitely have to say something if they didn’t manage things properly.
With that thought, we bought our snacks and boarded the train.

 
Creeeek-!
With the sound that struck my ears, the train began to speed off.
The ride to Busan would take a while, so it seemed like a good time to chat casually and relax.
It was a perfect time to ask things I usually wanted to know.

"By the way, what rank have you reached lately?"
Both of us were broadcasters who primarily focused on LeoRe, so the first question had to be about ranks.
It couldn’t be helped.
LeoRe was life for people like us.
"Master 100 points."
"Oh..."

His skills had definitely improved.
Master 100 points, that’s impressive.
I must have given him a little critique, and it seemed like his skills had improved a lot.
"Definitely, getting roasted really helps."
"...I do feel like that’s true."
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: He’s actually good.]
[So, what’s your rank now? What’s your rank?]
[Hey, hey, calm down.]
[What does calm down mean, haha.]
[It means don’t calm down.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Just do whatever you want.]

We must’ve chatted for a while.
Grrr-
I started getting hungry.
Maybe because I’d been talking too much.
"Get the snacks out, I’m hungry."
"Mm..."

Mangming started pulling out the snacks he had bought from the convenience store—chips, gummies, everything.
Crisp crunch.
As we were munching on the snacks happily...

[Harin has donated 10,000 won!]
-They look good together?
Out of nowhere, someone unexpected came into the stream.
