Episode 118.

Easy Mode.

In games, it refers to an easy difficulty level designed for beginners.

And adding ‘life’ here was the easy mode of life.

A new word meaning a life where the world treats you kindly, like the easy mode of a game.

It’s said that people are born with a gold bar in their mouths.

Someone with exceptional genius.

Or, it was a word used for someone with a handsome appearance that rivals that of a celebrity.

A common characteristic of these people was that without having to use their strength, numerous people and opportunities would come to them on their own.

Or maybe you can live well without that.

I was more used to suggestions than requests.

Rather than regretful words, I was more used to kind looks.

A sense of accomplishment was more familiar than frustration.

This was also the case with Jeong Yu-ra.

She didn’t have an overwhelming amount of wealth at home like Arthur, nor did she have outstanding intellectual abilities like Isin, but at least the world was kind to her as much as she was kind to the world.

Her beautiful appearance and kind nature naturally attracted people to her and brightened up her background.

Thanks to that, she didn’t hear many complaints from anyone in her life.

I’d rather hear gossip than be rejected in person.

however.

“no.”

“…!?”

It wasn’t Lee Shin.

Because it was Lee Shin who could confidently spit out phlegm even with a smiling face.

It was natural that Lee Shin was not emotionally agitated at all whether the other person laughed or cried.

Because of that, the one who was embarrassed was Jeong Yu-ra.

She stuttered.

“yes?”

“I don’t like it.”

“Why!?!??! No, no. I understand you don’t like it, but… … .”

I understand, but I never dreamed that I would be rejected so sharply.

It was doubly shocking because she said it because she thought we were close.

Are you rejecting this so coldly?

It wasn’t that difficult of a request!

All you have to do is come out and sit still for a few days!

It wasn’t something I just asked them to do, because they even gave separate rewards to those who served as models.

After a while, Jung Yu-ra, who had barely come to her senses, grabbed Lee Shin and shouted.

It’s not that I didn’t consider the possibility of being rejected, but I didn’t want to be cut like that and just sent away.

“…Please do something!”

“I wonder?”

“Really…?”

“no.”

“hey!!!”

Jung Yu-ra, who had been taken aback for a moment, quickly answered with reddened ears.

I thought it was true…!

“How can it not work? Isn’t this really difficult?”

“no.”

“Hey, please.”

Jeong Yu-ra earnestly requests this.

But there was no way that his desperate thoughts would change.

Why bother?

If you give me a reason to go there even if I have to endure something I don’t like, then I don’t care.

“huh?”

“Enough with the favor, tell me the price. I have to gain something from it so I can endure something I don’t like.”

“You said there was a case fee? It’s quite a lot….”

Lee Shin shook his head firmly.

“That’s not necessary.”

“?”

Because I didn’t have any regrets about the money right away.

Just by asking Lee Si-eun, she could receive any amount of money, and recently she has also received quite a bit of donations for her YouTube channel.

Of course, most of it was shot by one person, but it was true that the amount was large.

So, it would be better to spend that time financially and shoot a few more high-quality videos…

‘ah.’

“Then what do you need?”

“Do you want to come out too?”

“…Huh? What?”

“My channel. Do you want to come out too?”

A thought suddenly occurred to Isin, who asked.

Most of the videos uploaded to Lee Shin’s channel now are videos edited by Jung Yu-ra.

It’s not like they were completely cut out as if they didn’t exist, but most of the content was taken care of by Isin and Arthur.

This was due to the problem of revenue distribution of the video.

It had already been decided with Arthur to split it 10 to 0, but nothing had been specifically discussed with her.

So, in case there was any conflict later, I cut out as much of her part as possible and uploaded it in advance.

There’s nothing we can do about it!

However, this was quite disappointing when considering the channel’s various indicators (subscriber growth, views, etc.).

Female user.

He also knew very well how much a beautiful female user could help in running a channel.

Even if you just put a little bit of text on the thumbnail, there will be a significant difference in the traffic.

For gaming-related channels, this is natural since most of the subscribers are male users.

“… So, you want me to come out too?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to do anything special. I’ll take whatever part you have and use it.”

“No. That doesn’t matter… … .”

“hmm?”

“I watched your channel. It was full of weird stuff.”

It was Jeong Yu-ra who answered awkwardly.

The videos she saw were the one that came up early on, where Lee Shin teased Kim Hyun-seong, whom she met at the arena, and the video of Yanghak, who was ranked in the arena.

Beyond being provocative, the video was a cultural shock to her!

…But you want me to do this?

Naturally, from her perspective, she couldn’t help but feel reluctant.

However, Yishin shook his head and said, “What are you talking about?” to her concerns.

“No, of course I wouldn’t ask you to do something like that. You wouldn’t be able to do it in the first place.”

Do you think anyone can do Western medicine?

It was a needless worry.

“… Oh, really?”

“I told you. I don’t plan on making you do anything. Just tell me whether it’s okay for me to come out or not.”

“… … .”

Jeong Yu-ra thought for a moment and then asked something else.

“What about the profits? What are you going to do with them?”

“In the videos you appear in, it’s 99 to 1.”

“Am I number 1?”

“uh.”

“… … No, that ratio was originally correct!?”

“It wasn’t originally like that, but it’s a deal. Isn’t this a cheap price to pay for being exposed to the gaze of an unspecified number of people for a long time and having your actions restricted?”

“I’m just a model!? Don’t say weird things!”

Jung Yu-ra let out a small sigh.

What a strange-sounding expression!

But, despite what Isin said strangely, it wasn’t a bad offer to her.

I don’t have to do anything in particular, I just want to be able to use the parts that came out together… .

This wasn’t particularly difficult.

After much thought, Jeong Yu-ra nodded.

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

“uh.”

“You can come out starting tomorrow. Do you happen to know where our department’s main building is?”

“Gwan 34. Is that right?”

“That’s right. Come tomorrow on time. Come and call me.”

Borderline psychopath.

This was the verdict given on the first day that Lee Shin underwent a psychiatric examination.

It meant that I was a little more impulsive than others and had less emotional empathy.

But outside the confines of home and anonymity, Isin was a perfectly human being.

A kind, smart, and warm person.

It wasn’t a trait that befitted a borderline psychopath, but at least everyone who didn’t know Isin’s true form knew it that way.

It wasn’t because they didn’t have an eye for people.

It wasn’t because I had an overly optimistic view of the world.

It was just because Isin actually acted like that kind of person.

It was the same even then.

Over there, someone staggering along, carrying a bundle of publications in his arms.

It was Lee Shin’s motivation.

As soon as he saw it, Isin approached and asked.

“Can I help you?”

“Huh? Who are you?”

“It’s me. Give me half. How far will it go?”

“Our department office. Thank you. It was hard to move by myself… … .”

“It’s okay. I was on my way there too.”

It was like this.

Yishin managed his reputation to a degree that bordered on perfection, thereby blocking any possible questions from being raised.

It was for this reason that no one doubted Lee Shin’s character even though he had shown some rather evil plays in the last e-sports competition.

Thanks to that, sometimes.

Even if, very occasionally, this person reveals their true nature or behaves in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable.

The reputation and good deeds he had built up in this way served to protect him from many suspicions.

You could say it acts as a kind of insurance.

It was a safety device.

But this habit of being a jerk wasn’t always helpful.

If he had made even one mistake in his conduct, not only would the reputation he had built up over time be destroyed, but it could even have the opposite effect.

Of course, that’s not something that can happen easily… .

At times, there were certainly situations that were difficult for Isin to deal with.

“… … .”

[15:00]

At 3 o’clock sharp.

Lee Shin, who arrived just in time, knocked on the door of the Western painting studio.

dripping.

“excuse me.”

Isin carefully opened the door and went in, then looked around.

‘hmm.’

There was no Jung Yu-ra, but instead there were three people wearing aprons with paint all over their bodies.

Easels and plaster statues could be seen here and there in the small studio.

Isin nodded slightly at the sight that looked like a Western painting studio to anyone who saw it.

‘You came to the right place.’

Lee Shin bowed his head slightly and greeted me.

“Uh, hello. I am….”

“Who is it? Gasp!”

“… He’s a man!”

“What? Man? Really?”

“… … ?”

But there’s something strange about this reaction!

It was a moment that gave me goosebumps.

It was like feeling like a knight captured by a group of orcs.

It was just like that when someone said, ‘He’s a man!’, everyone looked at me with shining eyes.

“… … .”

Thanks to that, Isin’s eyes cooled down slightly.

I thought they were a bit strange people.

“Oh, sorry. Our department is almost entirely made up of girls… …. Who are you? A first-year? Well, I don’t think you’re in our department.”

“No, it’s me.”

“Is this you?”

“Who is it?”

“… … Ah, you’re that guy! Yura’s friend. Right!”

“… … Uh, well, it’s similar.”

“It’s a bit different seeing it in person than just watching the video. Come in, come in. Yura will be here soon.”

It was a welcome beyond expectations, as Jung Yu-ra’s words that her seniors enjoyed watching the clips were not a lie.

“What do you want to eat?”

“no.”

“Then what would you like to drink?”

“……Water, please.”

That person is also a little embarrassed, no, to the point of feeling burdened.

While drinking cold water, Isin thought to himself.

‘…When are you coming?’

Fortunately, Jeong Yu-ra arrived soon.

“Do you want to play Halligalina until Yura comes?”

“no.”

“Then Lumikub… .”

“…senior!”

“Oh, you’re here?”

* * *

“…What are you doing!”

The first thing she did was to separate Yishin from the other seniors.

“Why, what.”

“You came late so we could hang out together.”

“… So why are you doing that! I told you to just leave it alone. I told you I hate this kind of thing.”

Now that she was able to read Isin’s expression to some extent, she immediately noticed that Isin was extremely uncomfortable.

But the only one who could know that was Jeong Yu-ra.

The person who was being looked at by other people just had an indifferent expression.

Because of this, her attitude of trying to beat up Lee Shin and others was bound to be seen as quite strange by others.

“You don’t like it? You’re laughing.”

“Is that what you don’t like? That’s just her natural expression.”

“… … Oh my? Look at this guy?”

“… … ?”

* * *

“Okay, okay. I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“yes.”

“And if I have something to say, I can say it through you from now on, right?”

“Huh? No, not to that extent…?”

“No! I will do that!”

“…why!?”

Kwaruk Kwaruk!

Fossils that are excited among themselves.

And Jung Yu-ra is embarrassed, not knowing that they are making fun of her.

Because of that, the one who got the most tired was Isin, who was caught in between.

Isin, whose energy was suddenly sucked out, sighed softly and said.

“… … Hey, can’t you just do it quickly?”

“Huh? Oh, sorry!”

“Sit over there.”
