Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 142
47. Matchup (2)
“The matchup is complete!”
Murmur.
The inside of the stadium became noisy.
Probably because each person is saying something about the other person.
“Um… Viking.”
Heechul stroked his chin and looked towards the Viking.
He looked at the commander there, ‘Exmaster’. They were looking here too.
Seeing each other doesn’t mean anything will happen, but perhaps this is the instinct of those going into battle.
Trying to figure out even the smallest details about the other person in advance.
“What does it look like?”
Doojun asked vaguely from next to him.
“It’s not an easy opponent, but…”
Heechul smiled bitterly as he looked around the entire stadium.
“There is no one here who is easier than us.”
“Ha, well… right.”
“The Vikings are probably in a festive mood right now. “I don’t want to show it, so I just keep quiet.”
“…Is it that much?”
“Please change your position and think. Doojun.”
Joseon’s advancement to the round of 32 is considered a miracle in itself.
Moreover, they advanced to the round of 32 in second place without ever beating Roma or coming close to winning.
Of course, the underdog sensation they showed clearly shone in the matches against Spain and France.
War is always relative.
If you think about it differently, you could say that Spain and France did particularly poorly this season.
This is because Rome was never shaken by Joseon.
No, even if we do not necessarily underestimate it, Joseon was clearly the weakest among the 32 countries according to the data.
Just looking at the number of advancements to the finals and the number of wins, there was no country here that would be ranked lower than Joseon.
“but.”
Doojun nodded. His expression was extremely sad.
‘Because I have great pride. This can be happen.’
Doojun, who acts as assistant commander ‘Coffee’, is very proud, whether in real life or in games.
Because they are putting themselves in harm’s way, they defend themselves by compensating for it.
At least Heechul thought so.
“But it’s okay.”
“yes?”
“It means that we are looked down upon. I’m not afraid of being looked down on. “It’s advantageous for survival.”
Heechul is telling Doojun to get rid of his pride.
“I’m rather disappointed that the Vikings are so petty. It would have been nice if they had openly liked me. “Like Spain.”
Doojun frowned. It seems like my teeth are shaking just thinking about it.
“There’s no way you could show such disgrace, right? “This is the finals stadium.”
As each country’s motto is competition, Civil M’s game company has always promoted harmony among each country.
Therefore, any racist or culturally discriminatory behavior seen in the field is strictly subject to a handicap.
Even an attitude of not respecting others is strongly condemned.
That is why national competition has been able to be maintained so far.
Heechul knows too.
Nevertheless, humans instinctively cannot hide it and it becomes obvious.
Everyone on the Viking side was calm.
“haha. yes. It won’t come out like that. So it won’t be easy. Doojun.”
“….”

After about 10 minutes had passed.
The screen went down.
“ruler. Wandering mercenary! Gentleman! Lady! everyone!? “With this, you all know who your opponent is, right?”
The host came out and concluded the event.
Foreshadowing today’s event.
“Thank you all for your hard work to get here today! To you all! Tonight! A special party has been prepared at Civil Empire! “We hope everyone will attend and make the event happen!”
Wow!
Accompanied by applause and cheers from the athletes, the host bowed deeply and concluded the event.
“It ended really quickly?”
Fang Er stood up and muttered as if he was surprised.
“At that time, you got criticized for being too analog, so you completely changed it?”
There was a lot of talk about Japan’s method during the first preliminary group draw.
The robot arm pulled out each piece of paper.
It took too long.
Today was a ladder climbing lottery where the general commander characters fought.
There was a lot to see, and since it was digital, it felt like it was a very quick decision.
“It would be nice if it ended quickly. what.”
Sanghyeon says that and heads towards the bus.
I ran into Jesse.
“Are you coming this evening?”
“Oh yeah.”
I heard that the dinner party is a kind of privilege that players who enter the country in the first round can enjoy.
Sang-hyeon is not used to this type of social gathering, but he thinks it would be a good idea to go as it is an opportunity that was difficult to obtain.
It’s also good content for streamers.
“There won’t be one of them in the round of 16.”
Jesse suddenly said something meaningful.
“Right…”
“Then this is the last time…”
She played with her hair for a moment and then grinned.
“I’m glad you came to the dinner party. See you then.”
Jesse waves his hand and disappears onto another bus this time.
I guess I’m drawing a line because I’m someone who will soon be competing with me.
Tuk.
In response, Fang Er slapped his shoulder and asked.
“hey. “Don’t you want to go with me?”
“yes? Where… party?”
“okay. “Why is there something like that in movies?”
“no way. “It’s not some kind of graduation party…”
“Hmm. is it?”
There is a tendency to lecture people without even knowing much about panga.
“Well anyway. “That woman is very interested in you.”
Sanghyeon laughed it off.
“What woman wouldn’t be like that? brother.”
This is not what Sanghyun said. That’s what Panga said.
“Eh? “What did you just do?”
“You just said that. “With your expression.”
“No, when will I?”
“just now.”
Panga said, ‘Be careful. He walked ahead leaving a strange warning saying, ‘Huh?’
* * *
After the team gathered together for a light lunch.
We all headed to the cafe together.
The think tank team packed up the coffee and disappeared, saying they had to start analyzing the Vikings right away.
In the end, only the players remained in the cafe.
“Let’s take a seat here.”
After everyone is seated.
Ratte mutters in a solemn voice.
“Now the war begins.”
He probably wanted to talk about the Vikings and the finals.
Panga suddenly asked something strange.
“Why don’t you have a latte?”
“yes?”
“Why don’t you have a latte?”
“no. What question is this? that is?”
“His name is Lotte.”
“…Be patient. But do you drink latte?”
“This guy is completely different. I knew it.”
“No, brother. “Why are you so grumpy today?”
Lotte looked at Sanghyeon as if he was dumbfounded. I’m asking him what’s going on.
“Ah… maybe it’s because I’m not popular.”
Sanghyun really analyzed the cause and told me.
At that moment, everyone almost spit out their drinks.
“Hey yummy! uh? “What are you saying like that!?”
Panga’s face gets red and he starts arguing.
“no? “Every time Jesse talks to me, he gets really angry.”
Pang’er could not resist the innocent answer he asked while tilting his head.
“How can I really say that like that!”
Ratte laughed as if he was out of breath.
“no. “Why is it real?”
He turned around and was laughing so hard, pretending it wasn’t even a carrot.
“ah. older brother. I understand. yes. I was wrong. “I’ll just order a latte and come back.”
“don’t do it! “Don’t make me come!”
Ratte took another sip of the medicine.
After a long discussion of laughing and talking. Carrots changed the topic.
“But… did you hear that?”
Everyone looks at her.
“A new candidate commander is coming… I heard it’s already been registered on the roster?”
“what?”
Although news from the command center is not that important to players.
The story about the candidate commander was a little surprising.
“No really? “I heard that at first glance, but…”
“Why? what. why. “Who are you?”
Ratte looked around and asked.
In fact, Sanghyun didn’t know, but he thought it was obvious that he wouldn’t know even if he heard, so he didn’t react much.
“The best Dai Sunshin.”
When I heard the ID coming out of Carrot’s mouth, I stiffened for a moment.
‘uh?’
It’s a nickname I’m sure I heard somewhere.
“Almond. “Would you like to do it with me?”
his voice rang out.
This is her voice.
A voice when suggesting that we play a fighting game.
Why does this come to mind?
‘It’s Choi Sarang!?’
That’s because she was the owner of the nickname ‘Best Dai Soon-shin’.
“Wow… did you finally convince him? But are your skills the same? “When did you become Choi Soon-shin?”
“That’s right. No matter how much you cook, the taste deteriorates as the season goes by…”
Even the radish, pangeo, and carrots seemed to know about that person.
“Cookie is the one who made the fortune. Your skills will still be the same. The drop in ranking is also because the number of plays has decreased too much. “It’s not like the odds of winning have gone down.”
“That’s it. “If you play less, your form will also drop.”
It seems that the position of Lotte is not very trustworthy.
“under. But what would happen if there were a candidate?”
He sipped his coffee, concluding that he would not have much time to see the candidate.
“But Brother Almond. Why is your expression so dark?”
“…uh? me? It’s not.”
“no. I read the facial expressions of my brother, who is like my in-game lifeline, accurately, right? “You have a dark expression now.”
“I said no.”
“yes! “It’s not like that!”
It seems that Sang-hyeon clearly noticed the expression on his face when he didn’t want to talk.
‘I can’t tell you.’
Even if Sanghyun wanted to talk, he couldn’t.
How did he know Supreme Dai Sun-shin and why was he surprised to hear that she was joining?
* * *
Hotel after a while.
Pang-er and Sang-hyeon started dressing up smartly for the first time in a while.
To attend an upcoming dinner party.
Sanghyun asked vaguely, looking around at the bow tie he wore only at awards ceremonies.
“But Supreme Dai Sunshin… Is he good?”
“huh? Well… Cookie has long been a commander who has been evaluated as good. Did you also rank first? It’s been a while so I don’t remember much. Actually, from the player’s perspective, the commander doesn’t bother me that much.”
That’s right. Because the commander’s appearance and voice are not exposed to the player.
“Actually, Cookie might not have wanted to finish talking. “I’m agitated for no reason.”
“Agitation?”
“You think the commander may change. “When a candidate comes in.”
“Ah…”
Most of the team members knew about Cookie’s health condition.
I’m already anxious, but when I hear that a new candidate has been found in an unusual way, my anxiety grows even more.
“But that person is steel. “Even if it’s flimsy, it just bends and never falls.”
Panga grinned and tied his tie.
“therefore. “Don’t worry.”
Panga focused on tying the tie as if it was no big deal.
The expression reflected in the mirror was not fully covered.
He thought deeply for a moment and then changed the subject.
“Anyway, is there anyone wearing Hanbok?”
“Hanbok?”
“okay. “They pick the best dresser.”
“…?”
“hey. Did you sleep again? I explained it last time. Be patient. There are no cases where a man is selected anyway. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Ah…”
Did you tell me that?
“But is it advantageous to wear Hanbok?”
“no. It’s a little fried though. “We should try to mix it up like that… but we prepared it so quickly that no one will be there.”
Why does the best dresser prepare so much?
Sanghyeon had doubts, but soon forgot to ask because he was busy adjusting his clothes and leaving.
As he later found out, the prize received by the best dresser was beyond his imagination.

After a while.
Kansai Airport as the dinner party begins.
“Wow! everyone! It’s here! “Osaka!”
A woman was talking excitedly to the camera. She was dragging a large suitcase in one hand, wearing a thick green coat leisurely, and the fluttering one-piece dress looked comfortable and had a sense of highlighting her elongated body.
That’s because she’s also a model.
-The cheering squad leader entered lol
-Wow, you really went? Have you reserved a ticket???
-Miho is so loyal.
-Balloon Stars are all here???
“ah! yes Of course~ I reserved all the tickets. “We proceeded with the plan with the expectation that the Joseon team would advance to at least the quarterfinals?”
It seemed like she came to support Almond.
“Miho. “If you talk like that already here, you’ll be deported.”
It wasn’t just her.
Pot-bellied, bald, muscular hunk, etc.
Strange colleagues were also there.
“yes!? Almond got into a fight with me yesterday? What are you talking about? “I’ve just come to Japan.”
“Kyaa Almond Op~ Let’s go cheer~”
– ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Aww… It’s embarrassing
– Everyone is just talking about G, it’s the same lol
– They are embarrassing no matter where I put them lol
– “K Suicide Squad”
– If you look at the size, they are not flimsy, but slump-like. ~
-Strawberry Shack hahaha
-Mond~ The big one is coming~! (Not a stool)
For some reason, an unusual group was approaching the stadium.
