TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 11

“Ugh… my head… not hurting that much…?”

Min-seo thought about what happened yesterday as she woke up.

“Clearly… I was drinking with my kids….”

But she had no memory of it…?

Wow, how long has it been since I’ve drunk enough to forget?

I guess I felt good because all my members are nice.

The events of yesterday naturally replayed in Min-seo’s mind.

…Yeon-woo can be a bit mischievous. Isn’t she using her face too much?

Ugh, I should get up and make the kids some hangover soup!

As she thought that, she entered the kitchen and saw a pot that hadn’t been there yesterday.

“Huh?”

When she opened it, there was bean sprout soup.

“Hehe, which pretty kid made this?”

It must have been someone who was awake, right?

As she searched the house for the awake person, she realized something strange.

…Everyone is sleeping?

“Huh? Come to think of it, why is the house so clean?”

It was definitely a mess yesterday, right?

And where did Yerin and Yeon-woo go?

Did one of them make this?

After a moment of thought, it seemed more likely to be Yerin, so she called first.

Ding ding ding

“Uh, Yerin?”

[Yes, unnie.]

“Did our Yerin make bean sprout soup?”

[Huh? No? Yeon-woo went shopping in the morning and cooked it.]

“Huh?”

Yeon-woo…?

[Was it unexpected? Yeon-woo was feeding everyone hangover remedies one by one while holding them back yesterday.]

Yeon-woo?!

“R-really?”

That’s quite unexpected…! She’s not the Yeon-woo I know!

Then Yeon-woo’s face briefly flashed in her mind.

That just doesn’t fit! She looks like she wouldn’t have much survival skills!

[Yeah, and she cleaned up everything we ate. Oh, I helped a bit too.]

“Why didn’t you all wake me up to do it together?”

[When I asked if she should wake you up, she said that this is something the survivors naturally do and not to worry about the losers.]

What is this…? Why is that sweet…? The Yeon-woo I know isn’t like that? But that unique way of speaking is definitely her…

[If you’re worried, just call to thank me.]

“Ah, yes! Okay! You should rest well since you drank a bit too!”

[Yes.]

Yeon-woo?

Feeling the small annoyance from yesterday dissipate, Min-seo called Yeon-woo.

Ding ding ding

[Yes, hello.]

“Yeon-woo, are you awake?”

[Yes.]

It’s the same blunt voice from Yeon-woo as usual, but it felt somehow warm.

“Hehe, our maknae! You did something sweet, didn’t you?”

[…I’m sorry, but could you not say things that make me cringe?]

Wait?! Am I attacking Yeon-woo right now?

Was it me who cried yesterday from being bullied?!

“Unnie~ I called because I’m so proud of our maknae.”

[Ah, yes.]

“Thank you~ I’ll treat you to a meal next time!”

[No, since you opened your house yesterday, we’re even. Whatever.]

“Well, rest well!”

[Yes, I put perilla powder on the table.]

Huh? Perilla powder?

Looking at the table as Yeon-woo said, there was indeed perilla powder.

Wait, is she this delicate of a person…?

It seems like my impression of Yeon-woo has changed in many ways today….

***

Ugh, no matter how much of a 7-year difference there is, treating me like that is a bit…

I threw my phone down haphazardly and lay on the bed, closing my eyes for a short nap.

As soon as I woke up, this thought crossed my mind.

Ah, home truly is the best.

As I rolled around in bed, I thought about this too.

Should I take a break today…?

Yeah, I’ve been doing this continuously since debut, so a day off should be okay.

Deciding to take a break, I entered the fan cafe that I created with the members during the live broadcast yesterday.

[Today’s Broadcast Notice!]

[Today’s Broadcast]

[Notice]

[Oh Bang…]

[No broadcast today!]

Hmm… You can feel everyone’s personalities in the notices.

[Break from Broadcasting]

jdgkd

Done.

I posted the notice and closed my eyes again.

Ding!

Ah, I didn’t turn off comment notifications.

– You better turn on the broadcast

– Miss Roje, I miss youㅠㅠ

– Oh wow! No broadcast! Will I be able to see you tomorrowㅠㅠ?

The fan cafe seems pretty gentle, probably because the rules are strict.

But what should I do for the broadcast now?

Last week was fine just communicating…

Should I play a game?

But since I’ve regressed 8 years, every game is old-fashioned by my standards, right?

Hmm… I should think a bit more…

Even while taking a break, I’m worried about the broadcast; I guess I’ve really become a broadcaster.

Ding!

Ah, what now?

Checking where it came from, it was a group chat with Solana.

What could it be about?

Jeon Min-seo (Wooju): What should we doㅠㅠ

Kim Yu-bin (Han-byul): Well, the biggest problem is Yeon-wooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lim Yuna (Si-ru): Did she really say that during the interview…?

Yoon Sua (Somi): ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She’s really a crazy girlㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Jeon Min-seo (Wooju): Sua! Don’t use that kind of language!

Shin Yerin (Terry): But it really does seem insane

Hmm? Why is my interview story coming up?

Scrolling up the chat, there was a YouTube video.

Ah.

The title was [Interview Stories from Solana’s Manager!].

The video was posted on our company’s YouTube channel, and the thumbnail featured a celebrity I recognized alongside our manager.

Hmm… but I don’t have anything to feel guilty about, do I?

I did well, right?

I clicked on the video to play it.

[Miss Roje seems like a really crazy person.]

Oh, they’re showing my story from the beginning as a preview?

Feeling certain that my part is secured, I continued watching until it was my turn at the end.

[Well… at first you were pretty normal.]

[When you say “at first,” what do you mean?]

[It seems like it was a buildup.]

[What kind of buildup?]

[At first, you answered well without being nervous, so I thought we’d want to hire you when you reached the singing part, ‘Ah, we should pick this person!’]

[Yes, yes.]

[But during the last question, you lost all your points….]

[What was the question?]

[It was a simple one, basically asking why you should be chosen.]

[That’s a common line in interviews. Was there a reason why points were deducted here?]

[Well… the answer was….]

The manager on screen showed a look of exasperation and hesitated in his words.

[Yes.]

[It was about her entire fortune being on the line.]

[…Wait? What do you mean?]

[I thought so too, so when I asked her… she mentioned waiting in the waiting room and that she invested her entire wealth into our company’s stocks.]

[…Wait? What…?]

Oh, this is a juicy reaction.

I found it amusing how the celebrity in the video had an expression of “Did I hear that wrong?”

[And then she says that in order to raise the stock price, she needs to get chosen… so… they deducted a lot of points for fear of it being uncontrollable.]

[No… that’s an unimaginable reason.]

Even upon reconsideration, I think I did well.

I expressed that it could be tough if I showed my uniqueness when being chosen, right?

Of course, my face must also contribute to that likelihood.

[But I heard she’s 20 years old. Isn’t that a relatively small amount?]

[No matter how much a 20-year-old has, putting all their wealth into it and bragging about it in an interview is crazy regardless of the amount.]

I had poured everything I had at that time.

Of course, except for a few weeks after the interview—I had to put it into coins.

[…That is true.]

[And as I mentioned earlier, the CEO was there at the interview.]

[Oh… please don’t tell me she didn’t recognize you…?]

[No, when the CEO would ask questions, she answered with ‘Yes, CEO’ attached. So that made it seem even crazier, because she did that knowing who the CEO was.]

[Ah….]

[So thinking back, maybe she acted like everything was fine at first and then exploded later?]

[Hmm… Isn’t that too much speculation?]

[It’s obvious. Miss Roje is definitely someone who can do it.]

This makes me happy. They recognized my buildup!

It was worth it to have answered everything boring in the beginning for that.

[And since then she has been receiving excellent training and listening well, so I thought my worry was unnecessary….]

[Ah… should we take a look at the reference material?]

The reference material was a cut video of my debut broadcast quotes.

[Wow… did she really do that call from the company at that time?]

[Yes… it was done without any prior discussion.]

[…You must have had a tough time.]

[…Thank you.]

And with that summary of the filming, the video ended.

Is there anything to be worried about? This is fun!

That being said, they probably told me not to speak about the interview story for this.

Interview stuff is a corporate secret, I guess…

Seeing the unexpected way they are promoting it,

I think our company truly is one that brings VTubers into the light in our country.

Well then, should I check the community?

***

[Is Miss Roje really insane?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Did she really say something like that in the interview?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– I think she went there to enjoy herself

– Mindset of “if I don’t get selected, I’ll do something else”

– Didn’t this girl drink before going?

n: Then does she always drink during broadcasts?

n: …I’ve been convinced.

[But isn’t it really cool, Ro-hwang?]

(Drawing of Roje’s profile picture)

Didn’t she declare that if she gets selected, stock prices will definitely go up?

I need to remember that and use it later.

– You need to have the kind of ability that Ro-hwang has for that…

n: No red pill allowed.

– It is cool, the madness that surpassed that stands out,

n: That is what makes it stylish.

n: …What about the friend’s age?

n: What are you going to do about it?

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if her entire wealth was only 50,000 won, that would be hilarious]

Haha.

– Then there wouldn’t be another crazy person like her.

– To brag about buying all the stocks with 50,000 won in front of the CEO? I find that scarier than saying I bet 1 million won.

n: Ah, thinking about it, that’s even more madness.

[Wait, does this girl really refer to the CEO as ‘CEO’ every time?]

It’s definitely planned.

– For real.

– A buildup for the finale…!

– I’m starting to get scared of Roje.

[Did she do this and then bragged about it?]

I can understand Wooju’s reaction…

– It’s an achievement.

n: Getting picked after doing that is an achievement.

– If it were another interview, she would have definitely been eliminated, but she survived because it was a live broadcast.

n: For real.

Everyone saying I’m creative makes me feel good.

I’m proud, so I’ll put off my broadcasting worries for later and just take a break today.
