Became the Mother of Virtual YouTubers - Chapter 113
With Summer’s intense dive, Spring once again plummeted towards the ground.
“Spring, this is the second roadkill today.”
“Our Spring, you need to practice flapping your wings a bit more, right? I’m off first~ Ah-hahaha!!”
Summer leaped higher using Spring as a springboard, disappearing into the distance with a mischievous laugh.
– Wow, this is a bit…
– Spring, are you okay?
– Our Spring will never give up!
The chat was filled with worries and comforting messages for Spring. Normally, the viewers would tease Spring, but this was too much.
“Ugh, ugh… sisters…!!”
Even Spring gets squished when stepped on. The fire ignited in her heart as she fell again.
“I can’t hold it in anymore!!”
Spring instinctively flapped her wings vigorously and regained her balance in an instant. Anger clouded her mind, and her game sense surged as well.
“Cherry! Summer! I won’t let you get away!! Kyaaaak!!”
– She’s rampaging hahahaha
– Is Summer awakening while being hit by Autumn? 😂
– Summer! Dome Huangcha!!

While the fierce competition was raging in the lead group, the atmosphere around Merry felt like another world, showcasing a leisurely landscape.
“Hmm~ mmm♪ Hmm~ mmm♬”
Merry flew slowly over the river filled with morning sunshine, humming a relaxed tune. Glittering star dust scattered into the air wherever she passed. It was a graceful and beautiful flight, almost like a real fairy.
Competition and racing were tales unrelated to Merry. The viewers also indulged in the soothing ambiance Merry exuded.
– I’m healing again today
– Ah~ This is why I watch Merry Mamang’s stream
– Merry, you look so beautiful today!
– Merry’s fans, happiness ON
Thanks to that, viewers could thoroughly appreciate the dreamlike atmosphere of the map Jin Ha had meticulously created. The gently flowing river and lush forest blended as if they were on an overseas trip to Scandinavia.
Sometimes, Merry would gain altitude and enter the clouds. She would glide down slowly, flying lightly above the forest. The sound of the clouds bursting and the rustling of leaves in the wind felt delightful.
“Honestly, flying like this just feels so good, right? Heehee… how about our Merry fans?”
Merry’s gentle voice added a spoonful of charm.
– Twi tway twi tway…
– Mamang…
– This is real flying
– Wow, isn’t this game getting released? I’d buy it at full price without hesitation.

[Of course, it’s a Pasta healing stream. ㄷㄷ]
So, the chat could only dissolve into a puddle of warmth.
Of course, not everyone found this leisure enjoyable.
[Anonymous Donor has donated 1,000 won]
[Merry Mamang, you really fly well… Can’t you catch up with the lead group even now?]
Even as the chat was filled with ‘Get out!’ due to the insensitive donation, Merry simply smiled softly.
“But it’s already too late. Just now, Autumn and Winter passed me by, right? There’s already more than a lap’s difference.”
If given the chance, she would aim for first place sometime. But for now – let’s enjoy our first experience together (of course, flying. Nothing else implied). Merry said in her gentle voice.
At that moment, a suspicious movement was felt behind Merry. A large shadow approached swiftly and stealthily. It was none other than Summer.
In this race, Summer was causing chaos. After taking down Spring, she was now targeting Merry.
Summer stealthily followed Merry from behind, her playful smile preparing for a body check. It wasn’t an aggressive tactic but rather a light body check due to her awkwardness around Merry.
In truth, Summer found Merry somewhat difficult to approach. It wasn’t that she had fought or disliked her; she simply didn’t know how to interact with the calm and graceful senior. After all, Merry was a senior not only in rank but also in being a musician.
Thus, it was difficult to approach her easily.
So today, Summer thought of using this slightly aggressive prank as an excuse to get a bit closer to Merry.
Just as Summer was ready to ambush from behind, Merry suddenly turned, wearing a sweet yet fierce smile.
“Summer, if you sneak up like that, it’ll be troublesome.”
“YIKES?!”
Summer was startled and let out a shrill scream as she stepped back. In the meantime, Merry elegantly soared upward, riding the nearby updraft. On the other hand, Summer lost her momentum and fell downwards, losing her balance.
“AGYAAAAK!!”
Summer’s scream echoed through the forest. Merry looked down from above, smiling gently.
“Hehe, our Summer, you’re still far behind compared to Cherry.”
Merry’s calm voice flooded the chat with laughing emojis.
– ‘Slow’
– You really are something~
– Trained by Cherry’s chaos, Merry is strong
– Ah… This is what it means to be a ‘senior’
– Hey, can you feel the pressure from the second generation?

The race was nearing its climax. Autumn was still in the lead, closely followed by Winter.
“Hoo… Hoo… I… might actually have a knack for VR gaming?!”
To be honest, I thought there was no chance for first place. CosmoLive had both Summer and Winter, gamers with an entirely different level of sense.
But when first place, which I never thought possible, came within reach, my heart began to race. Naturally, the viewers in the chat were equally ecstatic, cheering for the delightful rebellion of the dark horse.
– Is the era of New Neo Awesome Autumn coming with VR fitness training?!
– But it’s scary how Winter is right behind.
[Song YiSong Yi has donated 1,000 won]
[If I win first place in this race, I’ll confess to her. If I win this race, I’ll go back home to see my parents. How did Autumn become a winning candidate?]
– Song Yi, you can leave now.
– The voodoo is really insane hahaha
Bolstered by the viewers’ support, Autumn pressed the acceleration button on the controller fiercely.
“Star Dust! What job should I choose when entering Jinro World? Warrior? Mage? I’m pondering~”
– Oh Autumn, come on hahaha
– Calm down, Autumn-ing!
– What do you mean by self-cursing voodoo? 😂
– Autumn, it’s not over yet, man! Get your act together!!
Just as Autumn was drinking from the bowl of kimchi soup and lost in happiness.
Winter, who had been closely trailing Autumn, gradually began to pick up speed.
– E, eh?!
– Autumn!! You’re done for!!
As they entered the final straight course, where the finish line was in sight, Autumn and Winter were now side by side.
“Autumn, did you know that?”
“Huh…? What do you know?”
Autumn looked bewildered at Winter’s sudden question. She had no idea what Winter was trying to say at this crucial moment.
“It’s about Jin Ha. When designing content, she emphasizes ‘realism’ very highly.”
“Realism…?”
“Yeah. It’s not just about beautifying what’s visible but also thoroughly calculating what’s invisible and designing it.”
Air resistance and airflow. Every single physical law must be meticulously examined to maximize immersion. That’s how Jin Ha creates a world.
“I went to the conference with Jin Ha this time, right?”
“…Winter, are you bragging right now?”
“I wasn’t trying to brag… But I learned a lot there. I felt a lot too.”
Beyond feeling, she realized deeply. If Winter wanted to stand alongside Jin Ha, she would need some engineering knowledge.
While not necessarily comprehending the theory at a graduate level, at least being able to communicate would be helpful to Jin Ha.
Initially, Winter herself grew interested in the engineering principles of the virtual space while observing various alien artifacts at the conference. She absorbed all of Jin Ha’s nerdy enthusiasm for creating virtual spaces into her mind.
In essence, Winter was the only member among CosmoLive who understood Jin Ha’s content from an engineering perspective.
“In summary, in Jin Ha’s world, techniques like slipstreaming can be utilized.”
“Uh, huh? Slip… what?”
“So, I wasn’t just flying right behind you for no reason.”
At that moment, Winter’s wings began to flap energetically. Until now, she had conserved her strength by avoiding air resistance behind Autumn. Now, at the final moment, she began to surge forward, unleashing all her remaining power.
In front of Autumn’s eyes.
Winter was in first place, with the prize.
Gradually, it was moving further away.
“Huh? Is that even possible?! No way!!”
Autumn pressed the button frantically, but instead of gaining speed, she found herself slowing down.
– Kim Gyeo-reul is so funny!!
– Flag retrieval completed lol
– This is why self-voodoo is dangerous
– What’s a hype all about?
– Wait, is this girl actually clever?!
– Winter is quite meticulous.
– Did she really just study at the conference??
Thus, the sky race concluded with Winter’s last-minute stunning victory.
