NOVEL NEXT Chapter 344
After nearly a month, Kayak’s broadcast has finally resumed.
The gossip in the broadcasting world heats up quickly and cools down just as fast.
Just like how humans walk on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening, the community varies drastically from morning to afternoon and late-night.
Kayak’s return was a colossal news, paralyzing the entirety of the community just as much as any juicy gossip.
It was truly the resurrection of the Lich King. Just as Jesus nailed to the cross came back to life after three days, Kayak also resurrected after thirty days.
With Kayak’s continuous absence, fans mocked in the gallery, drifting around aimlessly until even broadcasting someone who wasn’t even there became a thing.
For the fandom of Kayak known as Kayak fans, it was a long time of humiliation and persecution. To them, that entire month of August felt wiped off their lives.
Everyone was drooling and rushed over for the news of Kayak’s return.
Kayak · Live – 17322
-Sorry about that.
[Kay Bang On ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kay Bang On ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kay Bang On ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The king has returned ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[This person even nails the comeback timing like an art]
[I just took a half day off and got home]
[17000 viewers as soon as the broadcast started ㅋㅋ Legend]
[All Hako fans get lost ㅋㅋ Empty house pie all goes to Camilla]
[Normalization of Twishy—New Kayak]
[What’s with the black screen saying sorry? Did this person do something wrong too?]
[Teacher, are you saying Han Kang has fallen into a pit right now?]
[As expected, mocking fellow streamers is all about Camilla ㅋㅋ]
[Isn’t this just apologizing for a month-long hiatus?]
[So what did you do in America?]
[Han Kang controversy? Compared to Kayak’s business trip to America, a month later…! The pain our Kayak fans had to endure…!]
[Explain the month-long hiatus]
[This is the real controversy, ah ㅋㅋ]
[Gossiping behind someone’s back is cute ㅇㅇ]
[You’d better keep broadcasting steadily after a controversy]
[I genuinely thought you quit broadcasting since you didn’t come back for so long]
[I almost said you set up a new life with Brutal in America!]
It was an utterly chaotic scene.
So many people had piled in that everyone was just spewing out their thoughts recklessly.
Even if one dropped into the middle of a market doing street performances, it wouldn’t be more chaotic than this.
It shouldn’t be too chaotic.
However, the moment Kayak turned on the broadcast, she was subtly lifting her lips in a smirk, enjoying the unique scent of broadcasting that she hadn’t felt in a long time.
The viewers, unaware of this fact, were just getting increasingly heated.
[Open the Kasajang door!!!!]
[Where did this person go while the broadcast is up?]
[Ah, seriously dragging this out!]
[It’s a Kayak-style operation, everyone, come back in 10 minutes!]
[They say she won’t turn on the cam until it hits 30,000 viewers~]
[Is this the broadcast recognized by Brutal? I came from America after hearing the news]
[Burgerhams are flocking over too, wow, World-class Kayak]
[Brutal’s droppings, wow]

– Sorry about that.
As Kayak’s broadcast was about to surpass the number of viewers that had flooded in for Han Kang’s apology broadcast, she finally showed up.
With a green chroma key background, she was respectfully clasping her hands in front of her belly. She wore a black box t-shirt and cute pajama pants adorned with bunnies.
It was a casual outfit for relaxing at home, but Kayak’s expression was incredibly serious and somber.
She stared straight ahead and slowly opened her mouth.
“Hello, I am the streamer Kayak, broadcasting on Twishi.”
[So it’s you, Kayak~ Hello ^^]
[Just came back and already causing a ruckus, Kayak]
[What is this? Is it really an apology broadcast?]
[The t-shirt and pajama pants are a bit; doesn’t it seem too careless?]
[Yet the black t-shirt seems like it was prepared on purpose; it’s even more infuriating, LOL]
[But looks like you put some thought into the apology broadcast?]
[Starting with an introduction is the national rule, right?]
[But do you even have anything to apologize for?]
[You took a whole month off.]
[Look at how picky the Kayak fans are, LOL. Be thankful she turned on the broadcast, you guys.]
“I’m sorry for the significant inconvenience caused to the viewers due to my month-long hiatus.”
With that, Kayak bowed her head.
“Though I left some notices in between, my stay in the U.S. ended up being longer than expected. I initially promised the viewers I’d be back in 1 or 2 weeks, but I ended up staying there for a whole month. I couldn’t even turn on my night broadcast, I apologize.”
[So what did you do there?]
[What else, she probably had a great time with Brutal.]
[I asked Brutal in DMs, and he said no, though?]
[Did you just go sightseeing?]
“Did you go on a sightseeing trip?”
“I did a lot of things over the past month, but… I don’t think this is the place to reveal them. I could list my mistakes, but it just feels like I’m making excuses.”
[So you’re saying you won’t talk because it sounds like an excuse?]
[Is this a joke or what?]
[No, it’s fine, just tell us.]
“You’re pissing people off right after arriving.”
“Are you doing this on purpose? 
”
“As expected, no one messes with the viewers like Camilla does! ”
With a dramatically sad expression, Kayak looked straight ahead.
“I will reflect on this and spend time in self-reflection. I sincerely apologize once again to those who believed in and loved me.”
[What? Self-reflection?]
[What kind of nonsense is that? You took a month off and now you’re back.]
[Tell us what you were up to in America.]
“Hey, you little—”
Bow
With Kayak’s greeting, the broadcast ended.
*
About 30 minutes later, they started the broadcast again.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
“Right after coming back, you’re already cracking the whip.”
“It’s too cold… A world without Kayak feels chilly even in summer!”
“Ten minutes feels like ten years.”
“Ah, if you don’t want to taste the spicy flavor, you better behave.”
“It seems like apology broadcasts are trending, so I thought I’d give it a try. How was it?”
So far, the broadcast has been going smoothly, but I can’t help but think that one day, I might have to dress up and sincerely apologize in front of the viewers.
To prepare for that day, I practiced a bit and it seems like people are enjoying it, so that’s a relief.
“Still, returning after a month, just turning on the broadcast feels a bit dull. So I prepared something.”
[Just turn on the broadcast normally…]
[This person has no middle ground.]
“It’s a serious situation with my colleagues apologizing, and copying that feels a bit off…”
“So what did you do in America? This is the fourth time I’m asking.”
[Seriously, why were you gone for a month?]
“Ah, America? Um…”
What did I do in America? I took a moment to slowly recall my memories.
First, I went through a strict customs check at the airport, then I was dragged off by Welli Grandmother to Sampson’s restaurant.
While eating there, I caught a mugger and then went to see a brutal match at California Hall.
I watched the match.
After getting Brutal’s signature, I took a look at the ocean, but when a quarrel broke out, I had no choice but to call Isabel.
After playing with Isabel, I was introduced to the VR equipment, and from then on, I was all about the Abyss, hanging out and eating at Isabel’s house.
“….”
Looking at it this way, there are only a few things to discuss, and the reason for my extended stay is clear to anyone.
If I hadn’t been absorbed in games while staying at Isabel’s house, I would have arrived in Korea two weeks ago.
I can’t exactly share that fact with the viewers. It’s embarrassing to say, “I just played games,” and I have to keep the VR equipment a strict secret.
At least until the year after next, when Isabel unveils the equipment in the market, I can’t mention it. She trusted me enough to introduce the equipment, so I can’t let her down.
Thus, my response was rather predictable.
“Um… I just went sightseeing? America is so vast; there’s a lot to see.”
[Hmm… doesn’t seem like that]
[Where did you go?]
[Show us some pictures and tell us about it!]
[You must’ve recorded some sources for your vlog, even if you didn’t stream!]
[There are a lot of people wanting to see vlogs on VTube]
[Who did you go sightseeing with?]
“It was a truly wonderful and enjoyable time. Before I realized it, time had flown by…”
[Brutal, you little rascal!]
[I wanna go to America with the Broadcast Host]
[It wasn’t with Brutal, I’m telling you!]
[One wrong sign from BruBung, and you’ll get cursed out, hahahaha]
[No seriously, where did you go?]
[The Broadcast Host seems off]
[Maybe he rested too much]
Recalling the sensations from playing VR Abyss, I smacked my lips.
For a while, I feel like I won’t be able to play PC Abyss. Since I’ve played the much superior version, the original just doesn’t satisfy me.
“Anyway, I won’t be stepping away for a while. I’ll make sure to stream often.”
I said with a smile to the suspicious viewers.
