KYB Ch 25
by LuluRegardless of how others reacted to this sight, ITrustCactus and Yewoo Beomjeol were completely immersed in a world of their own.
Honestly, from afar… yeah, it might look a bit like that. But up close, the tiny cactus face dripping tears was actually pretty cute, so Ye Woo-won didn’t pay attention to the chat. He was zoomed in on his screen anyway.
Ye Woo-won then copied ITrustCactus’s emoticon, saying that it was cute too.
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: : ( ) :
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: : ( ㅎㅅㅎ ) :
(Guild) KongKang: Wow omg the dick is smiling ㅎㅅㅎ
(Guild) no.10: ..??????? What kind of nightmare is this😭😭😭
(Guild) Jinhee: ……What is this, it looks so much like a dick… 😭😭
Of course, ITrustCactus only liked Yewoo Beomjeol more for it, declaring he had surpassed the master.
Just a moment ago, he’d been shuffling around, but now ITrustCactus started moving excitedly, as if bursting with joy. The long cactus stem attached to his head wiggled wildly.
(Guild) Nyamnyangi: GuildMasterPleaseJustEvacuateThemImmediately
Oh, that’s cute too. Yewoo Beomjeol pressed himself close to ITrustCactus as they walked briskly together. The way that long cactus head bobbled around was ridiculously adorable.
While wobbling along next to ITrustCactus, Ye Woo-won suddenly froze when a pitch-black cloak came into view.
‘That startled me.’
Before he knew it, Kisekki—who no one had noticed arriving—was standing tall in front of him, looking down at the shrunken, cactus-transformed Ye Woo-won.
(Guild) SIS: LOL Sekki-nim please get rid of those two T_T
(Guild) DPSdrop: I always~ trusted~ you~~~
(Guild) Jinhee: This is the first time I’m glad to see Kisekki-nim ^^ Please go kill those dic— I mean, those two. ^^
While the guild members welcomed his arrival, Kisekki stared back and forth between cactus Yewoo Beomjeol and ITrustCactus.
Even that single question mark made it obvious that his mood had soured. Dressed entirely in black and carrying a long scythe, he looked downright grim and foreboding.
‘Is he going to complain about the cactus?’
Then why did Kisekki harvest a cactus earlier? Wasn’t he trying to make a cactus mirror?
Since he kept glaring back and forth between him and ITrustCactus, he probably intended to scold them like the others.
‘It’s cute though. But since everyone hates it, I should undo it soon.’
Naturally expecting Kisekki to curse at him, Ye Woo-won got ready to cancel the transformation. And then—
(Guild) Kisekki: What the hell are you two?
Ye Woo-won blinked. He sounded like he was interrogating them…
(Guild) ^Card^: fr lol
(Guild) DPSdrop: No seriously LOL it kinda looks like that lolololololol
So he wasn’t the only one who thought so. Of course, that made no sense, so Ye Woo-won simply chuckled and typed…
Kisekki didn’t respond. He just kept silently staring at cactus-transformed Yewoo Beomjeol.
(Guild) Nyamnyangi: LOLLLLL of course not~~~
(Guild) KongKang: Him? Doing that? lol ha!
The guild members answered in his place before Kisekki could even speak. Ye Woo-won thought cactuses were cute. But he wasn’t so far gone as to ignore the overwhelming majority opinion.
‘He’s probably here to cuss me out.’
Kisekki and a cactus? Honestly, they didn’t match at all. But then—
Something was off. Kisekki should’ve exploded by now, but instead he stayed silent—as if he agreed.
(Guild) no.10: 😭????
Was he AFK again? Or just ignoring them? While everyone wondered, a message finally popped up.
That single shocking “y” made the guild erupt with question marks.
(Guild) Jinhee: ?? You’re making a dicktus[1]— I mean, cactus mirror???
(Guild) ^Card^: ?wt???f??? omg? Ki like dick?![2]
(Guild) HouseParty:
(Guild) no.10: Wat??????😭😭😭??😭?😭???
Ye Woo-won was surprised too, but understood faster than the others. Otherwise, Kisekki digging up cactus like a locust earlier wouldn’t make sense.
‘So he actually had this kind of taste……’
Although he still didn’t know why this guy had asked him to form a party with him earlier.
Seeing this, cactus-maniac ITrustCactus spoke excitedly. And unbelievably, Kisekki actually walked toward the crafting master as soon as he heard it.
(Guild) Kisekki: lol; fuck off
Clearly, Kisekki wasn’t pleased. Even his steps toward the crafting master showed it. Look at those slow, dragging footsteps. He walked like someone being hauled to an abattoir, which left Ye Woo-won baffled.
‘Does he actually want to make it or not?’
Kisekki wasn’t the type to force himself to do things he hated, which made it even stranger. The guild members also seemed unable to believe it and kept spamming chat.
(Guild) Jinhee: fr? This isn’t a dream?
(Guild) SIS: Oh my goodness……
(Guild) Nyamnyangi: Why would… he… like..that.. ? d??
(Guild) HouseParty: I fucking refuse to believe this. [3]
(Guild) Nyamnyangi: Wow HouseParty, your persona’s cracking…
Regardless of how he felt, the fact that Kisekki was walking on his own to craft that cactus mirror horrified everyone. While the guild chatted away, Ye Woo-won cancelled his cactus transformation.
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: Haha
Ye Woo-won laughed and glanced at Kisekki. He was still standing in front of the crafting master. He must have started crafting the mirror.
Then the guild master, no.10, spoke.
(Guild) no.10: Should we do a Guild Showdown?😭
Guild Showdown. It’s a large-scale PvP against another guild.
Unlike Territory War, where any number over 2 people could join, Guild Showdowns required at least 10 players.
(Guild) KongKang: Lesgo~ I need to blow off steam~
(Guild) SIS: Kukuk, time to awaken the black goat inside me…
(Guild) KongKang: meeeEEEEEeeehhh
(Guild) SIS: Go back in
(Guild) KongKang: myeesssss^^ [4]
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: Then while you all go, I’ll grab dinner real quick.
Ye Woo-won had never done a Showdown, not even a Territory War, so of course he wasn’t planning on joining.
(Guild) no.10: Huh?😭Yewoo-nim, you’re not coming??😭
But things suddenly went off the rails.
Me?
(Guild) DPSdrop: bro, are you ditching us????😭
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: …haha
(Guild) SIS: Wow… this is the first time I’ve ever been used and thrown away….
(Guild) Jinhee: Bro… we… were good together…
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: I…
(Guild) ^Card^: Bro…. last night… do you remember…. [5]
(Guild) Yewoo Beomjeol: I’ve actually never even done a Territory War ..haha
When Ye Woo-won confessed honestly, after about two seconds, a flood of question marks exploded.
(Guild) Nyamnyangi: ??? Really??
(Guild) Jinhee: ??????? Whyyy?? How have you never gone at that level????
Well, their shock made sense because GoWV’s guild PvP system was extremely well developed. Win or lose, participating in Territory Wars or Showdowns gave great rewards. Most guilds treated Territory Wars as routine. Some players even didn’t raid at all and only lived for Territory Wars and Showdowns.
Though in truth, Ye Woo-won had simply never gone.
TL’s Note:
It was kinda hectic yesterday that I forgot to check the formatting after posting. It turns out ITrustCactus’s emoticon got turned into an emoji and the cactus shape is missing. I’m sorry. T_T
[1] The raw is written with words for dick+cactus mashed up together. So… dicktus. LOL
[2] This is written in English. He literally said “기 like 좆”
[3] Too many dick word is used in this chapter. Everyone keeps using the word, but seamlessly blends it into the sentence that it becomes a sentence with actual meaning. These dialogues are one of them.
– House Party is actually saying “I (dick) super can’t believe this”
– Jinhee said: “What is this, it looks so much like a dick…” It can be interpreted as “What the hell is this. It’s so fucking awful.”
– House Party said, “That’s truly looking like a dick.” It can be translated as “That looks so fucking ridiculous.”
[4] Before this dialogue, KongKang mimicked goat sounds, so here in this when he got told off, he repeated the goat sounds but making it sounds like yes.
[5] He’s making a joke, as if implying that they had a “good” time together last night.
