After tasting the bitter defeat, while I bowed my head in despair, the chat window came alive with mocking messages.

– Ryu Mit-gang: Exciting song~ I’ll give it a try too~
【Crescendo】- Ryu Mit-gang: LOL
【HyangHyangHae】- Is this the average of emerald…?
【NurungjiFloorBottom】- As a fellow emerald user, I’m out. Unsubscribed.
【BOOMBOOM】- Even got wrecked in mirror match, haha.
Ignoring the handicap complaints, the viewers took one opportunity to launch their brutal critiques that left my mind buzzing.
Of course, I knew it was shameful to mention the handicap, so I held my tongue. Even though it wasn’t a small handicap, if I couldn’t defeat a newbie with just that handicap, what’s all the time I invested in the game for?
“Hoho… How about it, honey? I did well, right?”
“Uh, yeah. Good job….”
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】- Your voice is all over the place, haha.
【White Forest】- It’s clear you were teabagging, LOL.
【SeafoodSauce】- Good thing Joo-ha didn’t see this.
Shut up, you guys. Even if Joo-ha saw it, it wouldn’t matter; she wouldn’t understand anyway.
Honestly, I was quite surprised. It wasn’t just that I lost because I was careless… Well, I was a little careless, but considering that, my wife’s gameplay was really impressive.
The viewers surely didn’t predict she would survive that dive either. No matter how much of a spell difference there was, the last kill angle was pure perfection.
And not just that; she didn’t simply out-damage me but used the rune’s ability, the wind cloak, perfectly when she chased me down. It was like, what on earth is happening?
Thanks to that, I definitely learned one thing.
“…But honey, when did you even play LoL?”
“Did I get caught?”
“No, it would be weirder if you didn’t.”
The realization hit me that my wife had actually played LoL before.
Honestly, I thought that anyone with good sense could manage to CS or trade hits. But using runes to reverse the kill angle was far from newbie gameplay.
I never even mentioned that such runes existed; her using it showed she had intentionally prepared to maximize the spell differences.
“Hehe… Actually, watching you play made me curious, so I played a bit whenever I was home alone.”
“That makes sense.”
After all, my wife sometimes had to deal with work in the bedroom, so there was a computer. Just for reference, it’s a high-spec PC we bought together when I got mine.
With that, practicing wouldn’t be hard.
Plus, since my computer had company-related information, I’d never want to accidentally mess with it, so I never touched that one. I couldn’t even know if LoL was installed or not.
I really got blindsided.
“So today, I thought I’d do a surprise prank content. Sorry for tricking the viewers too.”
【CatfishEyebrow】- No, no.
【Allfreed】- It was super fun, haha.
【Lucid Dream 7】- I noticed something was off halfway through, but it was hilarious, lol.
【HyangHyangHae】- It was suspicious from how you played when you were CSing.
The viewers seemed to grasp it to a degree; they accepted my wife’s apology coolly, saying it was rather fun. Thanks to that, they enjoyed an unexpected surprise content.
Moreover, viewers had been asking for content where my wife and I played together, so it might have made an excellent surprise gift.
Unfortunately, I, the main character, couldn’t pure-heartedly enjoy this prank and ended up kind of groggy.
To crown it all with ‘the world of no wounds is completed…’ would certainly be a stretch.
“But honey, how much did you even play LoL? From watching, it doesn’t seem like you played just a couple of matches.”
“I didn’t play that much. I just played Ned because of you. About… thirty matches?”
“Thirty matches, that’s it?”
【K-HipHopTopCosmo】- What????????????
【SeafoodSauce】- It’s weirder that it’s that little, haha.
【Moscos】- I thought you played at least 200 or 300 matches, wow.
【MeatCurry】- With that amount, you must be a talent, haha.
That’s exactly what I thought. Thirty matches in LoL is a minuscule number. Honestly, even if you played 300 matches, a newbie tag would still follow you.
Just looking at her gameplay earlier, it showed noteworthy proficiency with Ned. So I was thinking, as the viewers said, must have been at least over 200 matches; yet it was only thirty?
Is this what they call real talent?
“Well, I have to watch Joo-ha and have work too. Still, I wanted to surprise you, so I practiced whenever I could.”
As my wife beamed, showcasing her charm, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
It seems she hasn’t changed; she still wants to prank me like back when we were dating. I joked before that it feels like dealing with a devilish dust bunnies.
“Were you surprised?”
“Of course I was surprised. I thought, why on earth would you ask me to teach you LoL? I was wondering what kind of wind blew you to do that. But it turns out it was all an act.”
“I had a hard time managing my face. Still, seeing you surprised made it worth it.”
Cheerfully laughing, my wife leaned in and kissed me on the cheek, rubbing her head against my shoulder.
One of her adorable gestures she shows when she’s particularly happy; I call it ‘Woo-yu behavior.’ It has this vibe when Woo-yu is in a good mood. Though he doesn’t go as far as kissing on the cheek.
Anyway, having been surprised by this mischievous wife, I found a joyous happy ending, and I smiled.
As I gently stroked my wife’s head, which was still shaking, she slid her arm under my armpit, snuggling closer.
Then the spectators suddenly burst into flames.

– Wait? The loser is the host, but why are there tears in my eyes…?
【MeltMaster】- So freaking envious, really…
【HolicShit】- In the end, the one defeated was the dust bunnies, haha.
【LegoSwallowingDove】- How are they still milking this, ah…
【MushroomSoup】- I should be petting the host, damn it.
【BlueBungieWooRuh】- Is today going to be viral too?
I didn’t do anything! You crazy people. Why are you making a fuss about me? I’m a victim here. Thanks to this, I even got slapped with a wish card.
As I realized this, a sudden chill crept up on me, and I cautiously glanced down at my wife, who was still rubbing against me.
“Um, but… honey.”
“Uh-huh, what’s up?”
“That, that bet from earlier? It’s all part of the prank, right? You really will grant my wish….”
“Hmm? Of course, I’ll grant it. A prank is a prank, and a bet is a bet.”
“….”
【That’s it, Cosmo】- For real, haha.
【JustBePositivePlease】- Where do you think you’re escaping to, haha.
【LostFrog】- Look at how firm she is, haha.
【OctopusSukhwa】- Wow, sister, that’s refreshing, haha.
I tried to find an escape route, but given the resolute response, I had no choice but to shut my mouth.
That means she crafted this entire picture to get not only the prank but also the wish card. It’s a bit terrifying, even though she’s my wife.
“What wish do you want to make?”
“Will you grant anything?”
“Uh, well… I’ll hear it out first and decide.”
【CatfishEyebrow】- Ooooh.
【Arisa Loves It】- Your language changed from earlier.
【BINGO】- A man saying one thing and meaning another, what an ahole…
You crazy people. You have no idea how reckless my wife can be. I should have set a better trap.
Though I was mostly interested in granting her wish.
“So then, how about we… eat out?”
“…Huh? Eating out?”
Waiting with bated breath, I was caught off guard when that very unexpected phrase popped out, and I stared blankly at my wife, blinking in disbelief.
Did I hear that right? Eating out?
“Actually, I made a reservation at a nice restaurant for dinner. I wanted to eat with you, just the two of us for a change.”
“…That’s all?”
“Yeah, why?”
“No, it just seems too modest.”
It’s not even something I couldn’t give her without it being a wish. Does she not want anything more extravagant? If she doesn’t have anything to wish for, I can just keep it for later.
“Hoho, I’m satisfied with this! I don’t have much to wish for, who needs to ask for a wish from a perfect husband like you?”
“….”
But her gentle firmness, truly like she didn’t want anything more, left me speechless.
Where else in this world could I find a wife like this?
“Recently, since you’ve been so busy, we haven’t eaten out in a while. I wanted to eat together at a nice place. Can you grant me at least that much?”
“Of course, I should! The viewers would agree, right? Right, guys?”
【BlueRageGame】- Yup.
【NextDoorHani】- We allow it, but it still stings…
【PotatoRing】- Damn, why don’t I have a girlfriend like this?
【AdiosDao】- Host, you should carry your wife from now on.
【AlpacaHunter】- I’ll go smoke, be right back.
【TWS2425】- Is this our country?!
While we were having a cozy time, the viewers, expecting me to get wrecked for the wish card, complained about an unexpected marriage viral, but we smiled at each other, seemingly uninterested.
I suddenly felt it.
Marrying this woman was the best choice and the best luck of my life.
