TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 119

“Tsundere heroine lines…?”

[Yes!]

– d*mn, that’s so on point hahahaha

– I always wanted to see Roje acting tsundere through words, and here we are hahahahaha

– Ah… I really hope this girl is Somi’s Manitto…

Deleted message.

“Um… for example…?”

[You know that line, ‘Hmph! It’s not like I prepared this for you or anything…!’?]

“Wow….”

d*mn… If I get caught, I have to say that…? Just imagining it gave me chills all over.

“…But the thing I just said was a mistake, right? You didn’t say it on purpose, did you…?”

It can’t be, right…?

[Of course it was on purpose! That’s what completes it!]

Ah… I really don’t want to…

– Right, right hahahahaha

– That’s an element that amplifies the dere part hahahaha can’t resist hahahahaha

– No way hahahaha making a tsundere say tsundere lines hahahahaha

“…But isn’t that a line from an anime, not from a visual novel?”

[Oh? Isn’t it the same?]

“…Anyway, it’s the same that I really don’t want to.”

[Hmph~ I expected this reaction~!]

I absolutely can’t get caught.

In the worst case, it’s broadcast content, and I’ll just have to give all the other members gifts and get compliments—

Uh… wait a minute….

If I do this and the members all point at me, isn’t that the end?

“Ha….”

[…You really hate it that much?]

“Yes.”

To break the situation, I’ll execute the plan that just came to my mind.

[But I really, really want to see the maknae say lines like that.]

“Ha… I’m really glad I’m not Somi’s Manitto…”

[Oh?]

“Ah.”

[…You really didn’t want to do it, did you?]

“…Yes.”

– No way hahahahaha how much do you hate it hahahaha

– What’s with the inner voice hahahaha

– Is this for real? hahahahaha

Oh, this is working—

[But you’re not lying, right?]

[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.]

You can’t take this girl’s words literally

d*mn, this b*stard might be building up to make me say I don’t want to do it after hearing that.

Tch… It didn’t work….

Then let’s go with Plan B.

– Huh? Is that so?

– d*mn, both are possibilities, huh?

Deleted message.

– Hahahaha it’s not working, idiot hahahahaha

Deleted message.

[Sniff sniff… Our maknae is too cunning, and it makes me sad….]

“…Somi, your intuition is really sharp, isn’t it? For no reason….”

Okay, I succeeded in naturally complimenting her.

Now, if Sua just doesn’t catch on—

[Hmph~ Do you think it will work~]

Nice!

I kept my composure and avoided getting too excited about the fact that I succeeded.

“It kinda worked, didn’t it?”

[Of course! I was just pretending!]

“Yeah. Let’s go with that.”

Phew… What remaining missions are there?

Gifts, letters, pranks, one hour together…?

Um… spending one hour together seems the safest.

While pranks look easiest, if I try to force a situation while focusing now, I might make a mistake.

Then… it’s only been… 10 minutes since the conversation started….

Ha… Are we left with 50 minutes?

Ugh… What should I do for the remaining time—

[Then! I should head to the hell to mine for resources! Bye!]

“Uh, should I go to hell with you?”

[Oh, really? Then that works for me!]

…What’s this?

Is it going this smoothly?

…Don’t let your guard down.

If you make a mistake, it’ll be a lifelong embarrassing history…!

“Do you want to go home and get ready?”

[Ah, it’s okay. I’m already ready!]

“Really? Then I don’t have much to prepare, so let’s go right away.”

Nice.

I don’t have to reset the 10 minutes.

– Are they going together?

– Adding a sandbag to this combination would be hilarious.

– For real lol If you just add Si-ru or Wooju, it would be super funny.

What an ominous statement…!

If one more person joins now, the time resets—

[Uh…? Roje and Somi…? Are you two also going to hell?]

Ah, really….

“Yes.”

…No wonder I have good luck today.

Maybe it was intentional to give me hope and then take it away.

[Oh, do you want to go with Si-ru too?]

“Sure. Do you want to go together?”

Decline!

[Ah, no…! If I go with the two of you… Ah… just imagining it makes me want to cry….]

Uh… I did want her to refuse, but is it that intense?

[Hey, the older sister could be Si-ru’s Manitto too, right?]

[I don’t believe it…!]

[Huh? Don’t believe it. Who’s asking you to believe?]

“Right. You made it seem like there’s a possibility that anyone could see it that way, so why are you getting all misunderstood and certain by yourself? Are you enjoying that kimchi soup?”

[…I hate this!]

– She just hit hard hahahahaha

– It’s perfectly on point, can’t help but respond hahahaha

– They sync so well haha

“If you hate it, shall we leave Si-ru behind and go together?”

[Sure~ We should go on a hell date just the two of us~]

“Ah, is this also a date?”

[Of course~]

“Everything seems to be a date.”

[Can I join too…?]

Ah, d*mn it.

I failed to detach.

If I guess the reason for the failure, it seems I unintentionally triggered Yuna’s sense of exclusion.

“You don’t have to feel forced to follow along.”

[Uh, I’m not following reluctantly…!]

Ugh… If this keeps going, I’ll have to give up on spending one hour together and switch to pranks instead.

Since Yuna’s here, I can naturally shift the target to Sua.

“Then let’s go together.”

Thus, we took the portal to hell.

“So, what is everyone here for? I came to get glowing stones?”

[I was going to enchant it, but my level is too low.]

[I need quartz…]

“Then I can act separately?”

[No. I’ll mine near where the glowing stones are.]

[Yeah, that’s right…!]

“Hm… that would be inefficient….”

– Looks like there’s genuinely no Manitto among them.

– They’re acting too normally, I can’t get a read on them.

– Who are the remaining candidates?

“Don’t speculate. It’s one out of five, anyway?”

[What do you mean? Si-ru’s Manitto has already been revealed.]

“Ah, right. Who is it?”

[Ah, no…! Don’t say it…!]

[Terry unni.]

[Oh come on…!]

“How did you get caught?”

[Ah… that’s… I was secretly going to give Terry unni a gift and ran into her while coming out… but unfortunately, Terry unni was streaming….]

“It sounds like Si-ru.”

[…That’s an insult!]

“It’s a compliment, you know? It means you are innocent enough that you wouldn’t prepare for contingencies.”

[That’s right. Our Si-ru is innocent.]

“That’s right.”

Ugh… I’m in big trouble….

If it were normal times, I would have been pranking Sua and clearing the mission by now, but since I have to do it, I can’t see an angle.

After a moment.

[Well then, let’s part ways for now.]

“Yes.”

[I’ll definitely never go with the two of you again…!]

In the end, I ended up not clearing the mission while just focusing on Yuna during the whole parting process….

…This is so messed up.

***

“Ugh… I’m tired….”

I woke up at dawn before the sun was up and dragged my tired body into the soundproof booth.

“Ugh….”

But… no matter how I look at it, this is not the right timing to break the mission…

“Quickly… just put the gift in the box and get out….”

I entered the server.

=Somi:?

=Somi:Maknae

=Somi:What’s going on at this hour?

“Ah.”

Ha… Sua was also in the server…

=Roje: I’m here to break the mission.

=Somi: hahahaha

=Somi: You still haven’t cleared it? hahahaha

=Somi: You’re really so unskilled~?

=Roje: If I do letters or compliments, I’ll definitely get caught, what can I do?

=Roje: Of course, it’s going to take a long time.

=Somi: Ugh~ So you should try complimenting more often.

First, let’s dig for information.

=Roje: Are you streaming?

=Somi: No no.

Actually, I already confirmed they were off-stream before entering the server.

But asking this is more natural, so I asked first.

=Roje:?

=Roje: Why are you in the server while you’re off?

=Roje: Haven’t you cleared the mission yet?

=Somi: No?

=Somi: I got a general idea of the Manitto.

=Somi: I had Mark in the background while working.

=Somi: I was doing a stakeout.

=Roje:?

=Roje: Who is it?

=Somi: Either you or Terry unni.

…Min-seo is also excluded as a candidate?

No, wait a minute.

=Roje: Why would you say you’re doing a stakeout while you’re suspecting me?

=Somi: If it were you, you’d definitely check the number of people in the server.

=Somi: It’s pointless to look around.

Ugh… That’s a fact….

As she said, if Sua hadn’t typed in chat, she would have checked the connected users.

=Somi: So I’m leaning toward you who logged in to clear the mission at this hour.

=Roje: Is that so?

=Roje: Then choose me later.

=Somi: Oh~ You’re coming out boldly?

=Roje: It’s strange to say I’m suspicious but tell me not to do it.

=Somi: Shall we meet and talk?

=Roje: Sure.

“Ha….”

What should I do….

Should I be joking around now?

But since she’s already suspicious of me—

…No, let’s just do it.

Since she’s already suspicious, rather than avoiding it, I should use psychological warfare.

[Maknae.]

“Hello.”

[Oh… Maknae’s locked voice is so nice….]

“…That’s creepy.”

[Hehe… Our maknae despises—]

“…Wanna video call with me?”

[Sorry.]

“Forget it, just take this.”

I handed over the gift I had prepared to give.

[Huh? Are you really my Manitto?]

“No?”

[…You’re going to start a psychological battle with this? I already have a headache.]

“That’s what psychological warfare is for.”

Since I openly performed the mission, it must be causing her a headache.

Moreover, from Sua’s perspective, she wouldn’t know that I’ve achieved the mission with this being the third task, so it will confuse her even more.

[Wow… my head hurts so much. Should I just pick you?]

“Go ahead.”

[Are you really doing it?]

“Yes.”

[Really?]

“Go ahead.”

[…Oh, is that not it?]

Phew….

I want to let out a sigh of relief right now, but I stifled it, puffing my cheeks instead.

[…Yeon-woo. Are you really doing it?]

“Yes. Go ahead.”

[Really? I’m really doing it?]

Okay, now it’s almost there.

“Then, shall we make a bet?”

[A bet?]

I need to put a punctuation mark on this psychological warfare.

[What kind of bet?]

“Let’s do a wish grant bet. It will be a simple wish.”

[Oh… can you handle it?]

“After all, the Manitto could be right or wrong, so what’s there to handle—”

[Ah! Let me say my wish.]

“Yes.”

[Reality collaboration.]

Hmm, it’s possible.

[The content will be a full dubbing of a visual novel—]

“Impossible.”

Why does she like visual novels so much?
