Surviving as the Youngest Among Giant Vtubers - Chapter 63

My house… became prettier.

In just half a day, the living room and kitchen were filled, and one of the rooms, excluding mine, was furnished with various things.

I was dumbfounded by my family’s actions of decorating my house.

Just a few hours.

In that time, my house changed so much from before.

‘They even considered the placement space so it’s not too overwhelming…’

The living room wasn’t that big, but it could fit a sofa, a TV, and a table, and decorative items like mood lamps and partitions were installed on top of that.

I didn’t know, but Bomi had a talent for this kind of thing.

She even told me to call her later if I needed help.

Watching the transformation process of my house, I asked Mom who was beside me.

“You’re staying the night, right?”

Mom answered by nodding her head.

It was a pointless question.

• [- YH YH]
• [- You left too quickly yesterday, my hands and feet were trembling…]
• [- Yuha]
• [- Yuha]
• [- YH]
• [- Akira : What, why are you streaming now!]

“Hello. It’s been a while.”

• [- ?]
• [- Didn’t we meet yesterday]
• [- Wow! I can’t believe I haven’t seen Yuwol for a whole day…]

“…Did I stream yesterday?”

• [- What is this nonsense again]
• [- Why can’t you remember…?]
• [- Looks like you were really tired yesterday]
• [- It makes sense to be tired since you streamed right after returning from abroad]

“Just kidding. I remember. As you’ll see in the vlog video, I had quite a lot of fun in America too. Tsupi was a bit… very annoying, but it was still fun.”

• [- Tsupi : ?]
• [-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Ahㅋㅋ calling the manager annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Please explain the hand-cam, Hero!]
• [- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Tsupi : Unbelievable]

Enough joking around, now I need to stream properly.

Well, even if I say properly, it’ll probably just be watching the vlog video, explaining things, and telling stories.

And it’s a bit awkward to play games right now.

The three people watching me from behind are making me feel too self-conscious to play games somehow.

What if something weird pops up during gameplay?

If I play Hero’s Märchen, they’ll see me flailing around wearing the VR headset.

Either way, it seems like today’s stream should just be calm chatting.

“More importantly, everyone, tomorrow is Christmas, are you all prepared?”

• [- ???]
• [- Prepared? For what?]
• [- Ah, preparing presents]
• [- Uh… I don’t have a girlfriend to give a present to, what should I do?]
• [- ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
• [- I think I need to prepare a girlfriend first, Teacher]
• [- Unni, date me!]

“That’s unfortunate. And starting tomorrow, Tsupi will be by your side instead of me.”

• [- Tsupi : What?]
• [- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- ???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

“They said there’s an event at the KR Pop-up for a week starting tomorrow, so you might be able to see Tsupi if you go there.”

• [- Tsupi : What happened to this kid?]
• [- Get over here!!!!]
• [- Manager, get ready ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- I wanted the Hero but couldn’t touch her, so I’ll settle for the luggage carrier…]
• [- Tsupi : What are these guys saying?]
• [- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

It doesn’t mean I won’t stream, but wouldn’t a Tsupi you can see be more appealing than a Yuwol you can’t?

Besides, I plan to visit there once myself.

People who spot me will probably think I’m a Yuwol cosplayer and ignore me.

But the gazes I felt from behind were starting to become piercing.

To be precise, it was difficult to conduct the broadcast comfortably.

‘When on earth are they planning to leave?’

At first, the three of them followed me in out of curiosity.

But they showed no signs of leaving.

When I subtly turned my head to look, I saw their peculiar expressions.

I turned my head back again.

“But everyone.”

• [- Yes yes]
• [- Why?]

“If your family was watching your broadcast from behind, how do you think you would feel?”

• [- ????????]
• [- What??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- No way ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- How would that feel ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Tsupi : Oh… perhaps?]

“It’s burdensome.”

As I turned my chair around and spoke, the three of them flinched.

Then again, I considered just letting them appear on the stream.

My room has already been revealed anyway, instead of just watching live from behind, I wish they would stream for me.

Of course, I wouldn’t actually do that.

“If you just keep watching like that, I get self-conscious and can’t stream properly…”

Before starting the stream, I told them they could talk, but I also explained there were certain precautions.

Since I told them beforehand, it didn’t seem like anything major would happen.

“Uh… can we appear?”

“Yeah. I already got permission before turning it on, so it doesn’t matter.”

I nodded at my older sister’s words.

I had already placed the chair that was arranged earlier (by my family during the home decorating) next to me quite some time ago.

My plan was to have them come over one by one and conduct an interview.

• [- You should give us notice beforehand for things like this, Hero]
• [- Family content right after returning… precious]
• [- Tsupi : Are you uploading this to WolTube?]

“If my family allows it? I think I probably will.”

“We’re okay with it. It’s not like there are only one or two WolTubers whose families appear.”

“Isn’t it just our voices anyway?”

“That’s right. Well then… I guess it’s okay to upload?”

• [- Tsupi : Told the Wol-doongies~]

I replied to my two sisters who had approached, then turned my head back again.

Is Mom not coming?

Noticing my gaze, she just smiled and shook her head.

Mom mouthed, “I’ll go out then~,” and actually left the room.

So, there are two guests then.

“Alright then.”

“?”

“?”

I stood up from my seat, sat my older sister in my chair, and stepped back.

A question mark appeared above both sisters’ heads.

Ignoring them, I flopped onto my bed and gestured.

“Starting the Hero’s broadcast without the Hero.”

Naturally, I got scolded badly.

Why hit my head?

It’s not like my brain’s that great anyway.

• [- So that’s why you’re wearing a Santa hat now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- No wonder the avatar has a Santa hat too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- So fcking cute sht ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- This is… 21 years old? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Uh-uh, she’s still a teenage girl]
• [- She’s not even 21 yet anyway ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- Tsupi : I want to go too…]

“Wow. Let me introduce my family.”

• [- Tsupi : But then again, that’s burdensome…]

What does she want me to do?

Ignoring Tsupi’s whining, I continued the stream.

After attempting to slack off earlier and getting caught and put back in my seat, I chatted about Christmas.

Thanks to that, today, Christmas Eve, numerous donations poured in, and I planned to give half of them to my two sisters who were guests on the stream.

‘Just how much is this?’

It had been a long time since my interest in material possessions faded, but this was the first time I’d received so much.

“More importantly, this doesn’t fit me. Can’t I take it off?”

“Why? It looks good on you.”

“It looks fine?”

Because of Bomi and my older sister’s words, I couldn’t even take off the Santa hat I was wearing.

Why did they buy this too?

I told them to decorate the house, I don’t think I ever told them to decorate me.

I fiddled with the red hat placed on my head.

Annoyingly, it was also big, obstructing my vision.

‘It’s time to work on the costume…’

Normally, this would be the time to end the stream and start working, but I had said I’d stream today to make up for the time I couldn’t during the trip, so I couldn’t end it yet.

So, I had to continue streaming until the cusp of Christmas, December 25th.

By the way, is Mom sleeping by now?

It’s 11:30 PM, so probably.

“What am I doing tomorrow? Let’s see? I’ll probably stream. I have nowhere to go and no one to meet.”

As I simply answered the chat’s question, Bomi and my older sister went out of the room, saying they were going to the restroom for a moment.

I had gotten used to seeing girls go to the restroom together since my school days, but this was the first time seeing family members, especially at home, go to the restroom together.

Even after living as a girl for half a year, it was still mysterious.

• [- 15 minutes left]
• [- My life, watching Wol’s broadcast even on Christmas Eve… has succeeded]
• [- You’ll really stay with us tomorrow, right?]
• [- It got so quiet once your older sister and younger sister left ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
• [- What present does our Wol want?]

“I’m really not going anywhere tomorrow. I’ll be with you all.”

• [- If you leave after saying this, I… don’t know what I might do]
• [- You’ll be spending tomorrow with your family too!]
• [- Maybe I should visit my hometown too]

“And yaaawn… hmm. And I’ll leave when it’s midnight. I’m sleepy.”

• [- Kraaaaaaaah! Why!]
• [- CYT]
• [- CYT]
• [- The yawn… so f*cking cute]
• [- Can’t be helped if you’re sleepy]

The clock hands were already pointing to 11:59 PM.

But when will the two who went to the restroom come back?

I’m about to end the stream soon.

That thought lasted only a moment.

Clack, the soundproof booth door opened.

Not two people entered, but three.

In Mom’s hands was a cake.

“Huh?”

• [- ?]
• [- Why, why]
• [- ?]
• [- What’s happening?]

“No, it’s just…”

The clock hand pointed to 12:00.

At the same time, the three people opened their mouths.

“””Merry Christmas!”””

…

This is actually a little touching.
