[Comments]
-?????
-Why isn’t this a bait?
-Wow, is she really making a comeback? That’s insane.
-It’s taking way too longㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Live broadcast before even arriving in Korea? Talk about managing public sentiment like a pro.
-Why are you telling us this now? I just lost a minute.
-Na-me has started running… Na-me is smiling…
-I wonder how many people will gather.
-How many achievements do we have so far? At least 50,000 viewers, right?
-It might be tough since it’s Friday morning, people have to work.
-Eh, 50,000? That’s just easy; I’m seeing 100,000.
-For real, all the female viewers who joined in the last 1-2 years are definitely Na-me’s subscribers.
-Game + Kids combo is truly invincible.
News of Na-me’s return began to stir all the major communities.
Usually, her average viewers would hover around 20,000 to 30,000, but those who heard the rumors rushed to Na-me’s Broadcasting Station.
Na-me’s name appeared in real-time search terms across various platforms.
Everyone was curious about what she would say during the broadcast.
Life in America? Anecdotes about meeting the presidents of both countries? Thoughts on the Fields Medal? Future broadcast plans?
Anything would do.
After all, these were stories only Na-me could tell.
Despite the busy commuting hours, 5,000 devoted fans rushed in.
Na-me set the broadcasting camera pointed close to the airplane window as the plane took off.
The view of Boston Logan International Airport and the city unfolded before them.
The winding Massachusetts coastline, touching the Atlantic Ocean, faded into the distance as the plane soared high above the clouds.
The camera shook momentarily before a small window became further away.
The scenery of four consecutive first-class windows filled the screen.
And in the middle of the spacious seat, a child wrapped in a blanket could be seen.
The most famous 43-year-old child on Earth, NoName.
The chat window filled up so fast it froze for a moment.
-Wowwwwwww
-Na-me na-me na-me na-me~~~
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Congratulations on your return!!!
-Wow, finally Na-me tooㅠㅠㅠㅠ Life’s joys have returned.
-So cute, what is this, lololol
-One, two! Na-me, found you!!!
-I found you…? I found you…? I found you…?
-Kya, this is amazing~
-Na-me’s broadcast was what I was waiting forㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I was heart-thumping from the start…!
-As expected, Na-me came to save us.
Na-me waved at the countless viewers welcoming her.
The viewers showered her with ‘Hello’ emoticons.
-Please open donations too!
-Already changed into my pajamas, lolol
-Wow, first class looks so nice, haha.
-The seat is really spacious, two Na-mes could sit side by side.
-The world has really changed. You can even broadcast on a plane.
-Huh, but I can’t hear anything?
-It’s probably a mic issue.
But that was due to the viewers misunderstanding Na-me’s intention for quite a while.
“Ha-ah.”
Na-me blew hot breath on the airplane window.
Using her little finger, she scribbled letters.
She used it as a notepad to convey messages to the viewers.
[Goodnight]
-Just Chatting (Mic OFF)
-Wh… what is this…?
-This feels like familiar ant-scratching territory.
-Only the devoted ones left, lolol
-Theggggggg!
-Get rid of the newcomers.
“Cuuuuul…”
30 minutes into the sleep stream.
Na-me began to stir for the first time.
Viewers who thought she would just take a quick nap started feeling hopeful.
But Na-me cuddled the blanket, remaining still.
One hour into the sleep stream.
Na-me stuck out her pink tongue and slurped, making a slurp sound.
The quiet chat window erupted again, and viewers who missed this scene were furious.
Two hours into the sleep stream.
With every breath, her small, flat chest puffed up and fell.
Na-me rolled over, this time turning her body toward the camera.
Her long eyelashes fluttered before settling back down.
Four hours into the sleep stream.
Na-me raised her hand to rub her face.
This time, it seemed she might get up, but she remained as still as a rock.
Instead, she reached out into the air, fidgeting her tiny hand.
Six hours in, around 2 PM Korean time, Na-me woke up.
With bleary eyes, she stared blankly at the camera.
“Ummm…”
Na-me took quite a long time to wake up.
She tousled her disheveled hair with her fingers.
She took out a hair tie from the drawer and tied it into twin tails, her usual style.
She slapped her cheeks with both hands to shake off the sleepiness and greeted the patiently waiting viewers.
[NoName]
[Just Chatting – On the Way to Korea (Voice X)]
[Broadcasting Time – 6:08:22]
[Number of Viewers – 78092]
“Hmm? Is this a bug?”
Looking closely at the blurred number 7892, I noticed a ‘0’ hiding in between.
I rubbed my eyes and checked again, but nothing changed.
‘What? How are 80,000 people watching a sleeping broadcast?’
It’s been almost half a year since I turned on the broadcast.
To avoid all kinds of baiting coming from every direction, I planned to stick to a strict ‘ant-scratching’ for today.
But viewers weren’t dropping; they were still increasing in real-time.
Stretching, I blew breath on the window again to write a message.
[^O^]
-Translation: Na-me slept well!
-^O^
-What am I supposed to do with this, lol
-I never expected a 6-hour sweet nap.
-Wasn’t the original purpose of the sleep stream to collect money? Why are you blocking donations?
-Glad to hear you’re feeling good!
-How about we use holograms like a civilized people, teacher?
Oh, hologram?
I completely forgot about this modern civilization’s invention.
As luck would have it, there was a hologram projector kit on the airplane seat.
I turned on the white notepad and linked it with Twish that boasts remarkable compatibility.
“Hello. Thank you for understanding that voice transmission is not available inside the airplane.”
-Yes~~~
-Of course!
-Yes, yes, teacher!
-We should always keep etiquette.
The viewers firmly followed my instructions.
It felt like I had truly become a kindergarten teacher.
But now, leading a legion of 80, no, 90 thousand children…
“I must have dozed off last night, so I’m quite sleepy. I’m glad to finally get to broadcast with you all again. I’m looking forward to having a fun time communicating together.”
-I dozed off (making the seat into a bed and covering myself with a blanket)
-For real, this is maddening, lol
-The sleeping face looks like a true angel, but why?
-You wasted 6 hours on the comeback broadcast?
-If you stayed up all night, what can you do, lol
-It’s a communication broadcast, but we can’t hear you, teacher!
-Yes~ It’s been fixed~
With this many people, even if I opened up donations, it would be difficult to expect smooth communication.
I decided to check which game applications were inside the hologram device.
If possible, I’d like to play an online game.
Among them, chess caught my eye.
“How about chess, everyone?”
-Na-me knows how to play chess? Whoa
-Wow, this seems promising, lol
-Isn’t she a pro?
“I only know the rules and movement methods for chess.”
-Doesn’t mean you won’t win, huh?
-No, no, just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you play well.
-I’m on standby for a viewer’s game challenge.
-Could this be the last chance to defeat NoName?
The response was good, and it seemed like a nice way to kill time.
[GameBattle]
I immediately connected to the chess app and created an account.
[NoName Viewer Game(
Then I created a viewer participation room and set a two-digit random password.
[NoName(400)]
[JustLikeNong(2259)]
The opponent’s score is quite high.
[JustLikeNong: I’m counting on you, Na-me, hehe]
Still, I had a little knowledge from my past life, so I moved the pawns, knights, and bishops in order, just like everyone else.
The viewer who captured black suddenly gave me two free pawns in a row.
“Was that a mistake…?”
[NoName: Don’t hold back, please.]
[JustLikeNong: You’re doing great, hehe]
While moving the pieces as if entranced, I unexpectedly reached checkmate.
“Huh?”
[YOU LOSE!]
In just 7 moves, I found myself checkmated.
I couldn’t help but nibble on my nails, staring at the disastrous result.
-Wow, lol
-The game is already breaking, lol
-The opponent’s really a high-level master, lol
-Don’t hold back, please (actually not holding back)
-Na-me, don’t cry, lol
-The world of competition is ruthless.
-That person is a chess master, in the top 0.04%.
-I didn’t even get a chance to play before it ended.
-Justice prevails, sssss.
Seeing the viewers delighting in their joy weighed heavily on my stomach.
I hate losing in games.
I quickly searched for chess on Tree Wiki and began studying some principles.
“Don’t move the same piece twice in the opening. Avoid exchanging my developed pieces with the opponent’s undeveloped pieces. Fork, pin, skewer, discovered attack, something-something.”
I jotted all the necessary content in my notepad.
-Na-me is truly angry right now, lol
-That puffy face is too cute.
-Don’t hold back against a child!
-Who asked to play chess anyway!
-It’s turned into a Tree Wiki reading session.
After watching chess streamers’ videos to see what they were thinking while making moves, I learned that chess has strategy and tactics.
Strategy is looking at the overall shape of the chessboard, and tactics are ways to gain short-term benefits.
Even if I can’t judge the shape, can’t I just calculate up to what my head allows me?
As long as a time limit is set, I’d definitely be in an advantageous position.
“Anyone can join.”
I called on the viewers again with renewed confidence.
[NoName(399)]
[Wakyapya(1220)]
The opponent’s score is definitely low enough to give it a shot.
Once again, I picked white and moved the pieces carefully.
In the beginning, I calculated around 3 to 4 moves, and by mid-game, I calculated at least 7 moves.
And then, the mistakes made by the viewers became clear as day.
“I won this match. Can you see me checkmating from here in the next six moves?”
Following the example of a streamer I saw earlier, I confidently stated my ‘reserved moves.’
The pieces moved on their own, and in the end, it announced checkmate.
[YOU WIN!]
Of course, victory was mine.
-??? I can’t see anything; how did you do that?
-Incredible improvement in just 15 minutes, lol
-The rating difference is three times, and you still win?
-NoName! NoName! NoName!
-Wowww so cool!
-This is talent, you idiots~
-Seeing how you calculate the moves is incredible, seriously, lol
-How can you say she’s a beginner?
-I’m uninstalling chess after seeing this.
-Talent is terrifying.
“What? This is easy.”
I shouldn’t just be a challenger.
I’ve got to be the one receiving challenges.
Afterwards, countless challengers knocked on the Demon King’s Castle, and I slaughtered each one from the entrance.
“Qxd5 checkmate.”
[NoName(418) vs slavesaga(945)] – WIN
“Ra1 checkmate.”
[NoName(445) vs dmswlsla(1418)] – WIN
“Rxg5 check Kxg5, Rg2 check Kh6, Qh4 check Rh5, Bd2 check Kh7, Qxh5 checkmate.”
[NoName(475) vs whatthehello(1736)] – WIN
Maybe an hour passed, fully immersed in the fun.
My head started throbbing, so I decided to stop playing chess.
I stretched my arms and legs out for 10 seconds.
I wished that I’d grow to 170 cm like this.
“Ahhh! Hah.”
At that moment, my stomach made a grumble sound.
I was startled and glanced at the chat window, where viewers stacked question marks, not knowing what was happening.
‘Oh right, I turned the voice off. Thank goodness.’
Playing a brain-intensive game surprisingly consumes a lot of calories.
I gently patted my belly and wrote in the hologram.
“I skipped dinner earlier, so I’m a bit hungry. It’s still a way until breakfast.”
Meals are served based on American time.
In Boston time, it’ll be 1 AM; fact is, I won’t be able to eat breakfast either.
-You can order in first class anytime, right?
-Why not ask the flight attendants!
-Yeah, there should be meal service. No need to be embarrassed.
-Skipping dinner means you’ll be hungryㅠㅠ
-Lol, is this going to be Na-me’s first eating broadcast?
I squinted one eye, doubting the viewers’ words.
How many people claim you must take off your shoes on a plane? I shouldn’t be fooled by this.
I hit the internet for two or three confirmations.
“Wait, really…?”
-Haha
-Did you think we were lying, lol?
-I can’t believe it’s true, haha!
-Na-me’s so cute and cheerful, haha!
I cautiously called the flight attendant and requested the dinner I missed earlier, and they set the table and laid a tablecloth over it.
For dinner, I received salmon salad and foie gras terrine with bread.
It seems to be served in a course style.
When I asked for the main dish, they immediately delivered French beef stew.
“Excuse me, what you are looking at is the alcoholic menu…!”
“Oh? Ah, yes.”
“For our child guests, we have orange juice and grape juice available. Which one would you like?”
“Grape juice, please… Oh, can I ask for it in a wine glass…?”
“Uh, um… Yes, understood! I will prepare it right away!”
The stewardess wore a troubled expression but complied with my request, albeit reluctantly.
I was determined to savor the moment, however.
I lifted the wine glass to enjoy the sweet-bitter scent wafting up as I toasted to the camera.
“Cheers!”
