[Post title] You fXcking motherfXcking bastards.
[Author] PrincessChaenggu
[Post] (Video of Chaeyu conceding a goal within thirty seconds)
[Post] I got Orichalcum from such a nice person, the video quality got better, and there’s no lag anymore, but what does it matter? All I get is to watch them concede within a minute in high quality. FXck.
└ [Heavenly Demon]: Calm down. You might fall prey to a Heart Demon at this rate.
└ [SwordTasteMaster]: I think she’s already fallen prey to a Heart Demon.
└ For real, if even a registered user doing a bit is this upset, she’s definitely fallen prey to a Heart Demon.
└ LOL, but how do they concede like that?
└ They passed it straight to the other team’s striker lmao.
└ Isn’t that goalkeeper from the Satan League? I thought they were good there, so what’s with this?
└ She’s getting Chaenggu-fied. No worries.
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: Shut uppp. It’s only the first season, isn’t this too harsh?
└ No, you were the one who started with mom insults and swearing;;
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: The old me is gooonne. I’ve found peace of body and mind agaaain.
└ Look at that shamelessness lol.
└ [Wild Grylls]: Uh... are you okay?
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: I showed you an ugly side of me. I’m sorryyy.
└ [Wild Grylls]: It’s okay. By the way, was it really Orichalcum?
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: I put it in without checking first, but it’s working, so it definitely has to be Orichalcum.
It really was Orichalcum. That fact alone was enough.
From now on, I should probably include other pieces of Orichalcum in the trade listings too, aside from Adult Mandrakes.
‘It probably won’t be that popular since it’s just ore.’
Unlike Adult Mandrakes, which people could eat, Orichalcum was difficult to handle.
At best, it could prevent overheating, like what PrincessChaenggu had done.
Still, they said it was an expensive mineral, so it should trade for a decent price.
└ [KingLeor]: Classic Chaenggu, lol. Gobbling up freebies, burp~
└ The Lep-cricket shows up right on schedule lol.
└ This person keeps popping up lol.
└ [Wild Grylls]: What’s a Lep-cricket?
└ Leor fans are called Leps. Mix that with cave crickets, and you get Lep-crickets.
└ [Wild Grylls]: So it’s basically a term of endearment.
└ [KingLeor]: Please call us Leps instead of Lep-crickets. And you.
└ [Wild Grylls]: Yes?
└ [KingLeor]: You’re still going to support Chaeyu after seeing that?
└ [Wild Grylls]: There’s a saying where I’m from.
└ [KingLeor]: What is it?
└ [Wild Grylls]: If our defense concedes three goals, then our forwards just need to score four.
└ It sounds stupid, but it makes sense...!
└ What a brilliant answer lololol.
└ Sounds like something someone who found the truth would say lol.
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: That’s a wonderful saying! Stop putting strange ideas in his head and get lost!
└ [KingLeor]: I want him more and more. I’ll definitely turn him into a Lep. Is there anything you want?
└ [Wild Grylls]: How about we meet up and cheer together? Then I’ll become a Leor fan.
└ [KingLeor]: Dude;;;
└ LOLLLLL
└ Ah lol.
└ That’s basically a rejection lol.
A fan needed conviction. What was the point of being a fan if you gave up just because the team was weak?
Of all the sports fans I’d seen, very few gave up supporting their team on their own.
A prime example was when a club did something catastrophically alienating.
Like throwing out a player who was practically the symbol of the team because they were short on money.
‘Do they have iconic players here too?’
Players who went beyond representing a team and represented an entire era.
This world had many races, though, and demonkind and elves in particular had very long lives.
Every race might have a different standard for what counted as an era, so it was a little hard to say.
[Post title] How long are athletes’ careers normally?
[Author] Wild Grylls
[Post] My world only had humans, so I was wondering. What about demonkind and elves?
└ Your gimmick gets more interesting every time. What do you mean, a world with only humans? lol.
└ [Wild Grylls]: I’m serious. Anyway, what about demonkind and elves? Do they keep playing for a hundred years or something?
└ Nope. Cases like that are incredibly rare. Generational turnover is surprisingly fast.
└ [Wild Grylls]: Why?
└ Because of their knees. Their knees get ground down, so lifespan and all that doesn’t mean shit.
└ That too, but humans keep advancing their tactics, so they get left behind.
└ Put nicely, they’re classic. Put badly, they’re outdated. That’s why they keep losing to humans lately lol.
└ [Wild Grylls]: I see.
└ Humans also have an insanely high ceiling, so their impact is fXcking crazy. One insane human scored over a hundred goals in a single season.
└ What’s that human doing these days?
└ Probably living a quiet retired life. I heard they were even knighted.
└ [LetsGrowTrees]: Our elves are working hard too! Plenty of elves have been tearing it up in Mephisto lately!
└ You mean the ones who got caught planting trees there?
└ Didn’t they get exiled for that? lol.
└ Nope. They were really good players, so they only got suspended sentences. If you’re good at sports, they forgive anything;;
└ Still, it feels strange for such old-fashioned elves to enjoy sports.
└ Ever since the Elven Queen took the throne, she’s worked fXcking hard to open up their culture. The problem is that she crosses the line pretty often lol.
└ There probably isn’t another ruler with such starkly contrasting strengths and flaws as the Elven Queen lol.
That was the rough explanation.
Demonkind and elves had long athletic careers because their youth lasted longer, while humans had absurdly high ceilings and were the race closest to winning championships.
‘No wonder people don’t complain much about inequality.’
Every race had clear strengths and weaknesses.
Seeing that made me realize that people were the same everywhere.
[Post title] Honestly, it’s fXcking disgusting how Grylls acts like he knows sports.
“Hmm?”
I had been watching the highlights PrincessChaenggu posted when this caught my eye.
The post hadn’t affected me much, but I was curious, so I opened it right away.
[Post title] Honestly, it’s fXcking disgusting how Grylls acts like he knows sports.
[Post] If you’re serious, post a proper banger. Then I’ll acknowledge you as a real sports fan.
└ [Wild Grylls]: I’m just a casual fan who enjoys it normally. If I offended you, I apologize.
└ No. If you’re that normal, what does that make me? Anyway, make a joke.
└ LOL, they can’t let go of the jokes.
└ Didn’t this guy make one earlier? If they concede three, they should score four lol.
└ That was about soccer. He needs a baseball joke too.
└ [Wild Grylls]: Okay, wait a sec.
That was easy enough. The internet where I came from had developed far beyond galleries.
All kinds of bizarre jokes flew around there. I just had to pick one that stood out.
[Post title] ???: Please put it in.
[Post] (Photo of a fan clutching their head and sobbing)
[Post] Get the fucking ball into the strike zone already!!!
└ LOLLLLLLLLLL
└ LOLLLLLLLLL
└ You came up with that immediately? lol.
└ I thought it was porn from the title alone lol.
└ Is this guy insane? lol.
└ [DontAbandonTheHero]: Ah! I thought it was smut, but it wasn’t!
└ [Wild Grylls]: I don’t have many pictures like that. I dug that one up while looking through the gallery.
└ [DontAbandonTheHero]: Can you show us the gallery photo album?!
└ [Wild Grylls]: Sorry.
└ LOL.
└ This bastard did pick up a few lol.
How was I supposed to resist that? A man who could resist wasn’t a man.
There were other races besides humans too, so they naturally drew interest.
...Except dwarves and beastfolk.
The pictures from back then still came to mind with terrible clarity, and I shook my head hard.
Elixir could heal wounds on the body, but even Elixir had trouble healing mental scars.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Chaeyu is in serious trouble! But Elicto makes a great save!
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Chaeyu is in danger again! Off a defender and out!
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Kares with a wonder goooooal!!! Chaeyu concede again!
While I was looking at something else for a moment, Chaeyu had conceded another goal.
They had conceded once in thirty seconds, then again ten minutes later.
For the record, PrincessChaenggu was the one posting the match videos.
Considering she kept posting them despite her team conceding, her mental strength was impressive.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Kares with a wonder goooooal!!! Chaeyu concede again!
[Author] PrincessChaenggu
[Post] (Video of a long-range shot going in cleanly)
[Post] FXcking idiots.
Or maybe her mind had shattered so completely that she’d reached enlightenment.
It was a pitiful situation, but there was nothing I could do.
All I could do was keep watching the videos she posted.
I knew nothing about soccer tactics. I was only a casual fan.
‘They seem to be defending too much, though.’
Even from the videos, Chaeyu looked desperate to do nothing but defend.
Maybe they should become the kind of team that conceded three but scored four, like I’d said earlier.
Still, as I’d said before, cheering was all I could do.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Added time is over. Leor go into halftime two goals up.
[Author] PrincessChaenggu
[Post] (Video of players heading into the locker room)
[Post] Wow, the video quality is fXcking good now hehe.
[Post] Fucking hell.
└ You can’t hide that rage lol.
└ Still, the video and sound quality really improved. Is this the power of Orichalcum?
└ I want Orichalcum too...
└ Upvote if you want Grylls to give out free Orichalcum lol.
└ Starting with me lol.
No chance. Unless they gave me something good, there would be no trade.
Besides, I had no choice but to be more suspicious of other registered users from now on.
The registered users I had traded with before had shown me kindness without expecting anything in return from the start.
Most items could also be bought at the Auction House, so I would have to be somewhat picky.
[Post title] Chames United sign Kios for 100 billion Yura!
[Post] Morons.
[Post title] ???: Did they forget to save?
It was still too early to be disappointed.
Once halftime began, all sorts of jokes flooded the gallery. It felt just like home.
I laughed as I read through a few of them.
Someone had once said that only a terrible team had a certain aura.
That aura turned into humor, and all kinds of jokes came pouring out.
[System] KingLeor has requested a trade. Would you like to accept?
“Hmm?”
Something unexpected happened while I was browsing the gallery.
KingLeor, who always argued with PrincessChaenggu whenever he got the chance, had sent me a trade request.
I blinked, then accepted it first to find out what was going on.
I wouldn’t have accepted if he were a total stranger, but he was a registered user I recognized.
[KingLeor]: Hello.
[KingLeor]: You accepted!
[You]: Hello.
[You]: What is this about?
[KingLeor]: Well... I was wondering if you happened to have any Orichalcum left...?
It looked like he had his eye on Orichalcum. Even his tone was respectful.
I could roughly guess why, but let it slide.
[You]: I have some. Do you have Broadcasting Magic too, KingLeor?
[KingLeor]: After watching the video PrincessChaenggu posted, I couldn’t bear it anymore...
He had been having so much fun mocking her, but apparently he’d been jealous on the inside.
At least he was being honest about it. He was just a hardcore fan, not a bad person.
He teased PrincessChaenggu sometimes, but I could write that off as a conflict between fans.
[You]: I can’t give it away for free.
[You]: Do you have anything worth giving me?
[KingLeor]: A jersey wouldn’t work, would it?
[You]: Sorry, but I’m a Chaeyu fan.
[You]: I don’t think that’ll work.
Where did he get off trying to freeload? Get lost.
...That was what I wanted to say, but I held it in. I didn’t know what else he might offer.
KingLeor didn’t seem too disappointed either, as if he had only been testing the waters.
[KingLeor]: Then how about a Crystal Ball engraved with Light Magic?
[You]: What’s that?
[KingLeor]: Just what it sounds like.
[KingLeor]: If you tap the Crystal Ball a few times, Light Magic activates automatically.
[KingLeor]: I thought it might be useful to you, Grylls.
[You]: No, no.
[You]: I was asking what Light Magic was.
After that question, no answer came for a while.
I knew nothing about magic, so I had no choice but to ask questions like that.
[KingLeor]: It’s easiest to think of it as magic that shines a bright light.
[KingLeor]: A small orb floats above you and lights up the area.
[You]: You’ll give that to me?
[You]: Isn’t it expensive?
[KingLeor]: It’s a little expensive, but for Broadcasting Magic...
[You]: By the way, what race are you...?
[KingLeor]: I’m a middle-aged member of demonkind who likes soccer.
It was a win-win trade for both of us, so I accepted.
Light Magic would be a huge help when exploring places like caves.
Since I knew nothing about magic, it was a very good trade for me.
[KingLeor]: You only need to put mana into it, so it shouldn’t be difficult to use.
[You]: Thank you.
[KingLeor]: Before the trade ends, could you say “Go Leor!” just once?
[You]: Sorry, haha;;
[KingLeor]: T_T
That was the end of the trade. I checked the items right away.
“Hmm?”
That human, no, member of demonkind had even sent a jersey.
Chaeyu’s jersey had a white base, and Leor’s jersey was white too.
The difference was that Leor’s had stripes.
The animal on the emblem was also a hawk instead of a deer.
‘That was thoughtful, I guess.’
I smiled and carefully stored the jersey away. I didn’t make a post about it.
If I did, PrincessChaenggu might feel betrayed.
We had never even seen each other’s faces, but I didn’t want to betray someone who had helped me.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Halftime is over. Leor kick off.
It seemed halftime had ended while we were trading.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
And PrincessChaenggu’s mental state collapsed.
I opened the post wondering what had happened, only to find that Chaeyu had conceded again right after the restart.
Naturally, the comments were chaos. KingLeor’s was the best one.
└ [KingLeor]: Chaenggu, don’t worry too much. You just need to score four goals now lol.
└ [PrincessChaenggu]: You fXcking bitch.
└ LOLLLLLL.
└ ?????: If our defense concedes three goals, then our forwards just need to score four.
└ This is the perfect chance to prove it lol.
└ Believe in Grylls!
How could someone needle a person so perfectly?
Still, a three-goal deficit in soccer meant you were practically getting crushed.
It was enough to make you write off the match and prepare for the next one.
‘Well. Maybe they really will score four.’
PrincessChaenggu would keep watching until the end without giving up.
I checked her posts regularly too.
Then, perhaps all the Chaeyu fans’ wishes created an upset.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Kone pulls one back!
They scored one back.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Kone scores again! Chaeyu pull within one goal!
And they didn’t stop there.
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Kone completes a hat trick! Chaeyu equalize with a wonder goal!!!
They somehow pulled level. Then...
[Post title] Chaeyu vs. Leor: Chaeyu in added tiiiiiime, go-aheaaaaaad!!!
[Author] PrincessChaenggu
[Post] (Video of a player scoring the go-ahead goal and celebrating shirtless)
[Post] Daaaaaamn it!!! I knew you could do iiiit!!!
└ Holy shit, they actually did it lol.
└ Chaeyu fans’ dopamine is fully charged now lol.
└ What are these guys? Why are they suddenly so good? lol.
└ They really score everything once they stop defending and focus only on attacking lol.
└ ?????: If our defense concedes three goals, then our forwards just need to score four.
└ We worship you, Prophet.
└ It really was a prophecy lol.
└ Concede three and score four lol.
A miracle had happened.
