TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 101
After calming and washing my hands, I sat her down at the table.
“Let’s eat.”
“Okay, I’ll eat well!”
When I cut into the elegantly plated steak with my kn*fe to check the inside, it was cooked perfectly medium-rare.
“It’s well-cooked.”
Ah, but should I cook it a bit more for her?
“I, I can’t…!”
I guess it won’t be necessary.
Seeing her wide-eyed with her mouth full of meat, not even able to pronounce properly, it seemed fine as it was.
“This, I’ve never had anything like this before…!”
“It’s expensive, so.”
“Oh…!”
After answering her, I took a bite of the cut steak.
“Mmm, it tastes good since it’s been a while.”
Taking another bite, I checked if the little kid was eating well—
“Hey, chew slowly.”
She’s eating so well….
She must have been really hungry as she was getting food all over her face, so I grabbed a tissue and came closer.
“Here, wait a second—”
“Shh. Just sit still.”
I gently held her face and wiped it.
“All done. It’s all clean.”
“Th-Thank you….”
“Sure.”
But why is her face so red?
Did she catch a cold from being outside too long?
“Did you catch a cold?”
Since there was no answer in my contemplation, I asked her directly.
“Ah, no?!”
Hmm… Her nose is stuffy, but I can’t tell if it’s because she was crying or if it’s because of a cold….
I decided to hold off on judgment and stood up to head to the refrigerator to grab a can of cola.
“Hey, little kid. Do you want some cola too?”
“Ah, yes…!”
I took out one more can.
Even if she has a cold, it’s better to eat and drink.
“Here’s the cola. Hmm? Aren’t you going to eat your vegetables?”
Looking at the bowl I hadn’t seen while focusing on her face earlier, the meat was already low with no sign of her having touched the garnish at all.
“Ah, b-because the, the meat is so good…!”
Hmm, looks like she’s picky.
“Eat.”
“I-I’ll eat….”
“Eat while I’m watching.”
How can she be picky with something so expensive?
“If you don’t want it, should I feed you?”
“Ah, no…!”
“Nope. I’ll do it.”
I brought my chopsticks, scooped a lot of garnish, and held it up to her mouth.
“Ah, do it.”
“I-It’s my chopsticks….”
“Why? Don’t you like my saliva on it?”
Ugh, this kid is picky.
“Ah, no… that….”
“Just eat.”
It’s more trouble to put it back after holding it up and then take it back to feed her again.
“Ah, ah….”
“You’re eating well.”
I patted her head, signaling her that she did a good job.
But why is her face turning even redder?
“Are you indeed sick?”
“Ah, no….”
“Then why is your face redder?”
“It’s, it’s a cold!”
“Let’s eat and take medicine.”
Definitely caught a cold.
Where are you lying?
“I-I’m sorry….”
“Okay, okay. Do you want to eat more meat?”
“Ah, yes!”
Since I had no beef steak left to cook, I plated some salmon steak.
Then she started gobbling it down again.
“You eat way better than I thought?”
I thought she’d be full after the beef and had only half-cooked the salmon.
If I had known, I would have cooked it all.
“Mmm, it’s delicious!”
“Well, that’s a relief.”
It means my cooking is that good, so I let that slide.
“By the way, this is expensive too.”
“Eh…!”
“Just kidding.”
She’s easy to fool.
Kids really are kids.
Returning to the table, chatting while eating, soon enough, she emptied her bowl.
“Mmm, it was tasty.”
“I ate well!”
“Now let’s take medicine. Wait a moment.”
Ah, speaking of which, I only have pills for pain relief.
“Little kid, how old are you?”
“I-I’m 7 years old!”
“Have you had your birthday yet?”
“Yes!”
Hmm, then it should be fine.
I heard it’s okay to give pills to kids over 6 years old.
“Here.”
I brought out liquid cold medicine and pain relief pills.
“Thank you!”
“Can you take a pill?”
“Yes!”
After confirming she could take the medicine, I contemplated what to do next.
“Hmm… little kid, do you like games?”
“Yes!”
“Do you want to play a game?”
“Uh, is that okay?! My mom says if I’m sick, I shouldn’t play and should sleep?!”
“It’s fine.”
When you’re sick and playing a game, you tend to focus on the screen and don’t feel pain.
That’s from my personal experience.
Anyway, I took the little kid into the soundproof booth.
“Wow!”
Upon entering the soundproof booth, I felt proud seeing her eyes sparkle as she looked around.
Surely, it’s worth the money spent?
“Ooh! What’s that?”
“Ah, a racing wheel?”
“Wow! Is that a racing wheel?!”
“Do you want to try?”
“Really?!”
“Sit down.”
I set it up to fit her size and turned on the game.
“Wow! This is fun!”
“Right?”
While we were playing, finally, the little kid’s mother came to our house.
“Thank you so much…!”
“Oh, it wasn’t really anything to be grateful for.”
“Really, thank you…! Sion! You should greet her too!”
“Thank you, sister!”
Her name was Sion?
Oh right… I didn’t ask for her name….
But then again, I would have called her little kid anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
“What am I going to do since I’m really thankful…?”
“I also had enough fun playing with the kid.”
“Really?! You even played with her?!”
“And I enjoyed how she reacted while playing.”
“Hahaha… My kid has great reactions, right…?”
“Yes, anyway, I had fun too, so it’s okay.”
I finally calmed her down, who was continuously expressing her gratitude.
“Well then! I’ll be going! Thank you so much!”
“Yes, goodbye.”
After finishing the greetings, when I tried to close the front door, the little kid suddenly called me.
“S-Sister!”
“What is it, little kid?”
“C-Can you tell me your n-name…?!”
“Um, no way.”
Bang!
I closed the door.

A few days later.
“Hey, everyone. Can I share a story with you?”
– Oh
-? What story?
– What happened?
“Anyway, you’re curious, right?”
– eeeeee
– eee
– yes
– I’m curious
– eeeeee
“A few days ago, I ‘kidnapped’ a lost child.”
-?
– What did you say?
– Huh?
-?
-?
-?
– What the hell? Is that a crime?
ㄴDeleted message.
-?
– ?
Oh, the chat speed is really fast.
I’m glad that my intentionally misleading phrasing worked.
“Well, ‘kidnapped’ means that I ended up bringing her along since she was in the same apartment complex and when her parents came, I returned her without asking for her consent because persuading a crying child was annoying.”
– No way, hahahahahahaha
– Choose your words carefully, bro, hahahahahaha
– You were just protecting her, right? hahahahahaha
“So I fed her some food….”
– You were being tsundere
– Roje being Roje
– Ugh… are you being tsundere again?
“She seemed to have a cold since her face was red from being outside for too long, so I gave her medicine and let her play games.”
-?
– Why is that the conclusion?
– Don’t people usually give medicine and let them sleep…?
“If you take the medicine and play games, you’ll feel better quickly. That’s from experience.”
– Hahahahaha that’s not the issue, though, hahahahahaha
– Well, I guess playing games while time passes would mean the medicine kicks in…
– Hahahahahahhahaha
[Anonymous donated 1,000 won.]
So, what game did you let her play?
“Ah, racing game.”
– Please, no
– Are you trying to raise a racing demon?
– Hahahahahaha a crazy racing demon
…It’s unfair.
I didn’t make her play, she said she wanted to….
After talking about various things and gradually leading towards the highlight, I built up some suspense.
“Oh, I also gave her life advice.”
– Oh
– Hahaha what should I do about this tsundere
– What kind of advice? Probably about studying?
“There’s no Santa.”
-?
– Huh?
-?
– What did you just say?
– What do you mean?
“Did I mention her age? She was 7 years old.”
– Hahaha this crazy girl hahahaha
ㄴDeleted message.
– No way, hahahahaha what did you do to that 7-year-old kid, hahahaha
– So you’re saying you took away the pure and innocent heart of a 7-year-old kid in our country…?
“I also told her that even if she saw Santa, it would just be her parents in disguise.”
– Oh you crazy b*stard
ㄴDeleted message.
– You… seriously… wow… I’m at a loss for words
“Anyway, that’s about it for the story. It was fun, right?”
– No… I forgot most of the content because of what you said at the end…?
– It was fun though, hahahahahaha
– I realized that even if she’s a kid, she’s still a sharp and tsundere person.
“Shall we check out a cafe now?”
I turned the screen around to open the cafe and checked for interesting titles.
“Oh, it seems like there’s a similar case?”
[Heartwarming story of protecting a lost child]
– You probably treated her kinder than you did, hahahahahaha
– Roje… you filled your dopamine by teasing the kid… don’t compare yourself to such a good person…
– Hahahahahaha that’s totally not similar
Anyway, when I clicked on the post, it pulled up a story someone posted in a mom cafe.
“The story goes… I recently moved and while walking around the neighborhood with my son, he got separated from me, and a really pretty young lady living in the same apartment was protecting him.”
Hmm, it’s really a similar case?
I skipped through the content a bit and read the middle.
“I wanted to express my gratitude, but she said she had enough fun teasing our son….”
…Huh?
I suddenly sensed a chilling atmosphere and pressed the back button.
“Wow… that was a heartwarming story.”
– Is that you?????
– Is that you?????
– No way, hahahahaha there was a story about Santa at the end too right? hahahahahaha
“What are you talking about?”
…Was there also a story about Santa in the latter part?
I switched screens to read the full text—

Were you the blue pill?????
– “Really pretty????” If a mother uses that phrase, it’s totally real!
– Roje!!!! I’ll like you forever!!!!!!!!!
– Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! The blue pill was official!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– No way, hahahahahaha the full text says she was really pretty, but her appearance was also super intimidating!
…This is bad.
