Gender Swap: The Introvert's Broadcast

Chapter 81

First, I didn’t get angry right away.

I needed to hear the situation first.

Getting angry for no reason wouldn’t make things better.

“...What exactly happened? Explain slowly.”

If she provided a reasonable explanation, I was willing to let it go.

So I asked calmly—

“U-uh... I was trying to watch YouTube and cook by myself.”

Yeeram started to briefly explain why the house ended up in this state.

At first, she tried to follow a recipe she found on YouTube, but as she gained confidence, she decided to try cooking something more difficult, and that’s when things went wrong.

“Why make something difficult? You’re not even good at cooking. And how does the house end up like this just because you messed up cooking?”

This was the part I was most curious about.

Messing up the food was one thing, but how the house turned into this was a whole different issue.

It seemed like Yeeram was deliberately avoiding answering this part, so I asked again—

“Uh... I grabbed the pot, and maybe because I simmered it for too long, the pot got too hot and tipped over...”

Yeeram seemed to realize it was her fault, her voice growing quieter.

If I were Yeeram, I probably would’ve reacted the same way.

‘She really made the house like this.’

There wasn’t a single part of the house that wasn’t messed up.

The whole place was covered in sauce, or maybe scattered is a better way to put it.

But now that I knew the full story, I was okay.

I just needed to warn her for next time.

With that in mind, I opened my mouth—

“I’ll clean up, so just take care of where you’re going to sleep. You need to go to school.”

“...Sorry...”

“If you’re sorry, don’t do this again. If you’re going to do something, do it properly.”

“...Okay.”

I didn’t really want to scold her for this.

She didn’t do something bad on purpose, after all.

“Then clean up quickly and go to sleep. I’ve got a lot to do.”

“Okay.”

I was planning to clean up anyway while connecting the main unit to the monitor, so it seemed like a good opportunity to do both at once.

Sigh.

It’s going to be tough.

But what else could I do?

I had to clean.

But before that—@@@@

Click—!

I carefully took a picture of the mess Yeeram made.

I thought it would be fun to post it in the gallery.

[Content: (photo) I come home, and my only sibling has turned the house into this. What do I do...?]

Since the people who knew about me wouldn’t mind something like this, I posted the image.

After that, I looked around to see what needed to be done.

“Hmm...”

There was food everywhere.

How was I supposed to clean all this up?

Since the food had even gotten on the blankets, it was going to be troublesome to clean it at home.

“Yeeram, let’s take that blanket and go out together.”

At this point, it seemed best to wash all the blankets.

I’d also clean up the traces on the walls while I was at it.

After the washing was done, I went home and cleaned up all the food traces on the wall.

I used a ton of wet wipes cleaning everything.

Now, the only thing left was connecting the main unit and the monitor.

“Ugh... what a hassle.”

I wanted to do it tomorrow, but if I kept putting it off, I’d never get it done, so I forced myself to push the desire to sleep aside and started connecting the monitor and the main unit.

“This goes here... Ah, this is so complicated.”

It wasn’t as easy as I thought. I thought it would be simple since I wasn’t assembling the computer itself, but with the house being a bit cramped, it was surprisingly hard to place everything without getting in the way.

I kept fiddling with things for a while.

“Huff.”

Finally, I connected the monitor and the main unit.

Now, it wouldn’t be in the way if I passed by.

It was time to check the performance.

I carefully turned the computer on.

Vroom!

The startup sound of the computer was quite loud, and I was a bit startled. I checked everything installed on the computer.

“Looks clean.”

They told me everything had been removed from the computer, and it looked like they did it well.

I didn’t need to erase everything individually, so I just installed the programs I needed for broadcasting.

But there was one problem.

‘...I need help with this.’

I didn’t realize it when I was using just one computer, but now that I had two, I had to set things up again.

Of course, I didn’t know how to do it.

“Hmm...”

I figured I’d have to turn on the stream and ask.

So I started the broadcast, planning to quickly ask about the settings and then end it.

[The broadcast has started!]

As soon as the broadcast started, viewers began joining.

Normally, I would’ve waited for enough viewers to come in, but since I was only going to ask a quick question and finish, it didn’t matter.

“The broadcast right now...”

I searched for Mangming and Harin’s broadcasts, but neither of them were streaming.

They were probably taking a break.

Sarok wasn’t streaming either.

Then, I remembered someone.

“Hm...”

But I didn’t have the courage to approach and ask them first.

We weren’t that close.

I thought about it for a while.

‘I’ll ask them.’

It’s not like anything weird will happen, right? With that thought, I typed “Kang Hoo-min” in the search bar on Twich.

He was the only person left in my shallow circle.

I hoped he was streaming, and when I pressed enter—

I found Kang Hoo-min’s stream.
