NOVEL WEB Chapter 9
The aim of the Charge Knight is unnatural.
To the extent that it’s almost absurd to think that this movement could be controlled by human hands.
Honestly, if you say that following a target with such precision—hitting not just the torso but the small head of the enemy consistently—is not hacking, would anyone believe it?
However, what if it were confirmed that this seemingly unnatural trajectory was indeed controlled by a person?
That moment would likely transform this oddity into something akin to an artistic masterpiece.
– Wow…
– What…
– Incredible…
Everyone watching Inaring’s stream couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
The trajectory was so impeccable—it followed the enemies’ heads without a single deviation.
What seemed like an impossible feat!
Aim beyond human capabilities!
“…”
“…”
“…”
All the viewers who had gathered for the explanation broadcast stared at the screen in silence for a brief moment, forgetting the situation entirely.
Because the aim was that impressive.
No one dared to utter a word.
* * *
Around the third round…
“Phew… Is that enough?”
Looking at Inaring, she nodded approvingly with a thumb up, indicating I did an excellent job.
Apparently, the aim was successful.
“Alright, everyone, did you see that? Let me reiterate, no programs were used. This was witnessed not only by me but also our boss, Karin, and the manager. And to make it even more convincing, the mouse and keyboard are company property. Is this explanation satisfactory?”
– Wow… Incredible.
– You’re telling me that the impossible aim was really controlled by human hands?
– Seriously, it’s hard to believe even when I see it.
– Is Charge Knight maybe an android?
All staff at Blue Art, from CEO Choa to veteran Karin, declared unanimously:
Charge Knight absolutely does not use hacks.
Such a decisive statement—it was almost as if they were betting their broadcasting careers on it.
At this point, it was almost impossible not to believe them.
“Alright, let’s move on to the question segment. Is there anything you’d like to ask Charge Knight?”
As a seasoned broadcaster with seven years of experience, CEO Choi Seon-ha deftly transitioned to a Q&A session to lighten the heavy atmosphere, also tactfully turning it into an opportunity for monetization.
oo has donated 10,000 won!
[Charge, what’s your edpi?]
And as soon as the donation window opened, the first question came through.
Here’s my response.
“Uh… my dpi is set at 1400. In-game sensitivity is 15.”
– Wow…
– That’s insanely high.
– Can you even achieve that level of accuracy with that edpi?
– Is this guy even human?
“Actually, I usually play as a Paladin.”
– Oh, right, you’re a Paladin main! HAHAHA
– HAHAHA I’d forgotten that.
– FYI, Charge Knight used to be an Inaring watcher who only played as Paladin.
– I’d momentarily forgotten this due to how impressive his gameplay was.
Originally, Paladin players tend to use high sensitivity. In my case, this ability allows me to maintain this aim comfortably.
“Oh, right. Come to think of it, this guy was always the one sniping me every game.”
“That… that’s…”
“Ahh! Ugh! I want to just snatch this guy up and bite him.”
Suddenly, Inaring pulled me close and began rubbing my cheeks as if kneading rice cakes.
Although it feels a bit childish, since Oshi does it, all I can do is smile embarrassingly.
Her antics left the viewers in an uproar again.
“Oh! So cute! Really!”
oo has donated 10,000 won!
[What does Charge Knight look like?]
“Ah! Don’t even think about that! How dare you try to put dirty hands on our Charge!”
– Then taking a shower first should make it okay, right?
– Wait, I’ll shower, and then you’ll let me touch?
– Inaring! Step away! How dare you, a lowly Streamer!
– Exactly! How dare you taint our honorable senior Charge with any whiff of ‘Master’!
“Hold on! Where do you all rank? Can’t even see that they’re too low. I’m gonna stop looking… I have a fear of heights.”
– This woman hasn’t lost her touch when it comes to dodging.
– This cat-girl was supposed to be framed someday, but Charge has messed it up!
oo has donated 1,000,000 won!
[Charge Knight, I’ve fallen for you at first sight. Will you marry me?]
“Wha-? 1,000,000 won!?”
“Waah…”
Inahi, startled by the sudden influx of a million won, couldn’t help but gape her mouth in awe.
After all, this was the first time we’d received such a large donation during a stream.
“Inaring, reaction.”
“Oh right.”
Hana Mi woke Inaring up from her daze.
It seemed that Inaring was dazed by the first-ever million won donation.
“Uh, thank you! Thanks to you, Nyeong-nyeong! But our Charge Knight is not for taking, so go back!”
– What the… how adorable does this guy look for people to react so crazily?
– Only you can see him? Only you!
– I wanna see too! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see! I wanna see!
oo has donated 1,000 won!
[Cute judge, Red-Haired Dog please appear.]
– The smell of dog fur!~ Red-haired dog!~
– Hahaha
– Hahaha
The situation was suddenly interrupted by a stern voice belonging to Karin, who had been observing the situation silently from behind.
“Who are you calling Red Dog!”
“Red Dog” was Karin’s nickname.
It came from her dog-like character concept and her red hair, thus earning her this playful nickname.
“Um… sorry! Anyway, Charge Knight is definitely small and cute. I’d love to take care of and raise him.”
– Info: Charge Knight is small.
– Info: Charge Knight is young.
– Info: Young ones must be protected.
– Info: Inaring is a Loli-con.
– Oh no!
– Oh no!
– Oh no! Good grief!
– I knew it, Inaring!
“Firstly, let me say that Charge Knight is an adult.”
– Oh my…
– Really?
– Info: Charge Knight is a legal Loli.
– Therefore, we must protect him.
– Agreed!
– An endangered species of legal Loli found here!
As we were chatting back and forth with the viewers, Choi Seon-ha suddenly tapped Inahi’s shoulder to get her attention.
Looking at Seon-ha with a puzzled expression, Inahi heard her softly say,
“It’s about time to wrap this up, Inaring.”
“Ah, understood!”
– We heard that! Seon-ha!
– Are you trying to disrupt our broadcast? Seon-ha!
– The boss is bullying!
“Ahem, attention viewers! We turned on the stream today for the sole purpose of clearing Charge Knight’s name. Also, we have another schedule so today’s broadcast will end here!”
– Me
– L
“Unn~ Ice~”
Inaring quickly froze the chat, demonstrating how quick she is on the draw.
This is Inaring’s broadcast, after all, she interacts with the audience on her terms.
Afterward, Inaring turned to Hana Mi and asked,
“Charge Knight, do you have anything else to say?”
“Hmm…well…”
Something to say?
Of course, I had planned something on my way here.
I began to speak.
“Hey, Time Click administrators.”
“Eh?”
In response to Hana Mi addressing the admins, Inahi looked puzzled as Hana Mi continued,
“I’ve cleared my name today. I’m not using hacks, so please unban my account. If any more clarification is needed, I’ll provide it.”
“Hahaha!”
Inahi burst out laughing uncontrollably at this straightforward statement.
Yes, a wrongful accusation ban should definitely be lifted.
“Alright! That’s it for today’s broadcast! See you next time! Bye-bye!”
* *
The broadcast, which ended with an audience of 100,000, left behind a ruckus.
* *
After the broadcast ended, Choi Seon-ha observed Inahi with admiration.
‘She’s a natural at broadcasting.’
Inahi had only been streaming for a year, and yet, there were few individuals who could maintain their composure and style while broadcasting in front of nearly 100,000 viewers.
To Seon-ha’s eye, Inahi seemed quite at ease.
She thought she had successfully picked a talent.
‘And…’
Her next glance fell on Hana Mi.
Despite her seemingly meek appearance and actions, Hana Mi spoke her mind articulately.
Not only that, but she also had a distinctive voice.
No, it was definitely charming in times like these.
A fittingly cute voice for her appearance.
Frankly speaking, her voice was cute enough to become a voice actor.
‘Alright.’
Having organized her thoughts, Seon-ha spoke up.
“Okay, since the clarification went so well, let’s celebrate and have a dinner party, how about that?”
“Wow! Is the CEO paying?”
“Of course.”
“I, I want to have Korean beef, Manager!”
“Korean beef is… a bit…”
“Wow, you’re stingy, Manager.”
“Ah! Fine, let’s go for beef—it’s the mood!”
“YES!!!”
As everyone prepared cheerfully for dinner, Hana Mi cautiously raised her hand and spoke.
“Ah, then I’ll be leaving now.”
“…”
“…”
“…?”
The four people looked at her in surprise.
“What do you mean? Where are you going, Miss Hana Mi?”
“R-really!? Can I follow?”
“Of course, since this dinner party is for you.”
With that, Inaring and Karin cleverly grabbed Hana Mi by the arms.
“Trying to sneak away, huh?”
“We’re staying together!”
“Eh… uh…”

The evening was filled with laughter, but it eventually drew to an end.
