I Quit Being an Idol and Became a Youtuber - Chapter 52
“Alright, so who will be the seeker this round?”
After Baekro’s gruesome defeat, the first round came to an end.
The next game started without delay.
“Excuse me, can I try being the seeker this time?”
“Oh, is it Cheongha?”
At that moment, the host Jjangdolsoe was looking for the next seeker, and Cheongha raised her hand.
‘I want to try this.’
There would be plenty of brutal scenes, but since I’m participating anyway, shouldn’t I at least try being the murderer once?
The moment she was chosen as the next seeker.
“Ah, and Cheongha?”
“Yes?”
“I remember that thing from earlier very well.”
A comment from Bubugi came from over there.
Ah, I guess it was impossible to just brush it off.
“I’ll make you cry buckets, just you wait.”
“Hahaha…”
Well, I had nothing particular to say, so I just laughed it off. I would find out how it would go when the time came.
More than that, the idea of me crying…
‘That’s probably not going to happen…’
When I went to the dome performance for the first time, I didn’t really cry either.
Now, I couldn’t even imagine myself crying.
What is this, has my tear duct dried up from childhood trauma?
“Oh, it’s starting now.”
As I regained my senses, the game was starting with a cutscene already playing.
In no time, the murderer was biting the neck of one victim while survivors were fleeing.
Once the opening ended, Cheongha was spawned in a deserted forest.
– But can the host do it well?
– This might be a bit brutal…
– Are we going to faint?
– Don’t d*e ㅠㅠ…
“Well, I just need to do it like when we did the dinosaur team in Krowa.”
Since the murderer competes purely with physical abilities, there isn’t much difference from dinosaurs, right?
No, in fact, it has the ability to teleport, making it easier.
“And if something scary comes up, I’ll just close my eyes, so you don’t have to worry.”
– Didn’t you faint last time trying to do that?
Oh, come on. That’s a low blow.
A horror game, where there’s nothing to do but react to scary things, is definitely different from the murderer game which requires doing a ton of things to k*ll as many people as possible.
The latter entails a lot more than just being startled.
If it gets too scary, there must be some kind of skip button, right? I’ll just press that.
Well, anyway…
“Should I also try to catch some sort of concept? Something like a one-time RP.”
From what I just saw from Baekro, it looks like I just need to be a bit more brutal than usual.
Still, since I’m a VTuber, maybe I should approach it with more seriousness as a one-time RP.
– Oh, that’s good.
– Is it a murderer concept?
– I can’t resist a murderer VTuber.
Hearing those words, Cheongha quietly recalled her past experiences.
The celebrity career is for moments like this.
Let’s see, should I pick one of the roles I played earlier?
“Alright, let’s go with this.”
After a long period of contemplation, Cheongha successfully settled on a character.
* * *
On a pitch-black night road.
Belena was wandering through the forest alone.
“Ah… where is it?”
Relying on a single flashlight, she was searching for one thing.
‘The propeller…’
She was aiming for an escape using a boat.
To do that, she needed two elements: a propeller and fuel.
The fuel would be added by Rupang, so she just needed to quickly find the propeller.
– Isn’t it over there?
– There, there!
– I think it just passed by.
– Vision legend.
“Huh? What… oh.”
Thanks to the viewers’ hints, after finding the part.
Belena quickly began to run toward the waterside.
At that moment.
Crackle—
The screen suddenly started to fill with noise.
“Uh…?”
Is the murderer nearby?
Belena’s nerves were on edge.
‘This is bad.’
I need to quickly get to the boat and finish the repairs, then escape.
Just as she took her last steps toward the docks.
“Huh.”
The first thing she saw was the floor soaked in bl**d.
Since it was a dock made of white birch, despite it being night, the bloodstains were glaringly obvious.
And when she turned her head a bit more, a cornered path caught her eye.
In the middle of that path lay Rupang’s corpse.
“What…?”
At that moment, she barely managed to follow what was happening in front of her.
Click-!
“Ah?!”
[Trapped!]
Her bl**d dwindled after stepping on a trap set by the murderer.
‘Oh, I’m done for.’
Belena’s face stiffened as she sensed the impending future.
It hadn’t been long since she separated from Rupang to find the propeller.
If the murderer killed her in that time, they must be…
“───Oh my, hello, Belena?”
“Ahhh?! Cheongha?!”
Is it true that if you talk about a tiger, it will appear?
Surprised by Cheongha’s sudden appearance, Belena screamed.
Her heart nearly dropped twice.
Once from the sudden appearance.
And once from that voice.
‘No, why does that voice sound so different?!’
Even though it was the same voice as just a moment ago, the tone and emotion felt entirely different.
Even in this situation, her calm tone sent chills down the spine.
Where moments ago it had sounded like a somewhat cool older sister.
Now it exuded the vibe of a girl from a prestigious family.
It felt like someone right beside her was going to twist her heart.
-??? What is this?
– This is seriously scary.
– It’s madness.
– Is this person a voice actor?
– Oh sh*t….
– The voice is amazing.
– Sister, k*ll me.
– Eek!
The reactions in the chat window were the same.
‘Well, it’s only natural.’
Cheongha nodded as she saw the viewers marveling at her murderer performance.
What I’m portraying now is a high school girl killer from an urban fantasy anime.
A character who satisfies her murderous urges by killing people while enjoying the pleasure of the emotions felt during each k*ll.
Ultimately, she ends up getting chopped up by the protagonist to conclude her appearance.
Since I voiced her in the original movie instead of the usual voice actor, it was indeed easier to immerse myself in the role.
Thanks to the background of being a rich girl, she unconsciously behaves politely towards others.
That included people she was about to k*ll.
As a result, it amplified the unique chills and discomfort.
“Ahhhhh!”
Stab-!
“Ah, this is a bit much.”
Cheongha shut her eyes tight at the sight of the murderer starting to butcher Belena from the head.
At that time, she struggled to keep recording to not be a nuisance, but how could she bear to watch a bone being pulled out while still alive?
Splash-!
“…Is it over?”
Only after tossing Belena’s corpse into the river did Cheongha finally open her eyes.
– Haha, you killed her.
– Murderer trait (dislikes scary things).
– (grimacing)
– Cheongha, closing her eyes is so funny.
– Reverse World Gaksital wow.
– Reverse World Gaksital is crazy, lol.
“No, what do you mean Gaksital?”
Isn’t that a character from a comic that fought against the Japanese with a mask during the Japanese occupation?
The drama based on that comic managed to do alright in Japan, so I remembered it.
‘Well, it does resemble the fact that both wear masks…’
No matter how much the real person isn’t a murderer, I wonder if it’s appropriate to compare an independence fighter position with an undead murderer?
“Anyway, let’s go look for the next person.”
Whatever, don’t ask such complicated things to a middle school graduate.
Responding to the gruesome cutscene and the viewers’ comments ends here.
Now it’s time to return as a diligent murderer.
With a ruthless gaze once more, Cheongha moved her steps.
The next target was the house with the telephone fuses.
* * *
In a nearby building she found, Cheongha encountered someone familiar.
– Ah
– Oh no
– This is a bit;;;
– Let’s quietly pretend we didn’t see it.
A small figure moving around near a public telephone booth, doing something.
Above it was a familiar nickname.
[whitecrow]
White Crow.
.
.
.
Don’t go to the place where crows play, Baekro.
“Ha…”
Since there was only one person with a name that is white and related to birds.
Cheongha approached her with cold eyes as her target.
Regardless of compassion, she couldn’t let her use the phone properly.
“Moshi moshi, hello Baekro.”
“Eek?!”
Baekro screamed upon seeing Cheongha suddenly appear with her teleport skill.
Oh dear, this certainly seems like a scene I’ve seen somewhere before.
“Ahhh! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please spare me!”
“…Doesn’t this feel like the situation from the last round?”
Right, I remembered.
I had been grabbed by her in the previous round just like this.
Thank goodness Belena came to save me with a crowbar then.
If it weren’t for her, I might have ended up being the only participant who faced the somewhat embarrassing ending of being ‘killed by Baekro.’
The difference between the current situation and that time was that there was no car nearby, and Belena wasn’t coming to rescue Baekro.
The used car had gone to the USA from here, and that person was already killed by me, so what could be done?
It was in the moment while Cheongha had Baekro by the neck.
[Cheongha Jikyu has donated 1,000 won]
= Let’s let her go since she looks pitiful.
Oh, a bail has come in.
“Well, I’ll let you go this time.”
“Y-You’re serious…?”
Well, I initially had no plans to k*ll her.
If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been invited to this round.
It feels like a kind of repayment for a favor.
‘And killing her feels a bit pitiable…’
As a murderer, not being able to k*ll a single person, but instead getting beaten up by survivors made me almost tear up thinking about it.
More than that, haven’t I already taken down two people?
Unless it was a no-k*ll like last round’s Baekro, this score wasn’t too bad.
It’d be even better if I could win.
“However, if we meet again, I won’t go easy on you.”
“Yes, yes!!”
Thus, Baekro succeeded in escaping from the murderer who was the reverse-world Gaksital.
“Live a good life from now on.”
“? Ah, yes…”
Being scolded by a murderer in life is just a bonus.
