TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 127
“Uugh… So good… This feels like a hangover cure….”
I cleaned up and then ate slightly lukewarm udon noodles.
“Is it good?”
“Yeah! It’s super delicious! Older sister, if you stop broadcasting, let’s start a restaurant together!”
…Udon is a dish anyone can make as long as they have noodles and broth, so aren’t they overreacting?
Anyway, I felt good, so I decided to go along with it for a while.
“Together? What will you do?”
“Me? Uh… I’ll serve!”
“But are you really expecting me to hire you as a staff or part-timer just because I’m opening a restaurant?”
Dream big, huh.
“Why not! I’m confident I can do it well!”
“Ha, do you even have part-time job experience?”
“…I’m currently looking for one!”
“If possible, I recommend a convenience store for your first job.”
“Eh… I don’t think a convenience store would be fun….”
“Then you can struggle in the kitchen.”
Including the time before regression, I had done quite a few part-time jobs, but personally, when I worked at the convenience store, I was lucky that there were no rude customers, and the guests were kind, so it was comfortable and nice…
“Hm… I took the red medicine….”
“…What do you mean?”
I guess I was a special case…
Even when I was a guy, I looked scary to some extent.
I hadn’t realized it back then, but thinking back now, the reason I didn’t get cussed at when I was working in a restaurant’s kitchen was not just because I was good at my job but also because of my appearance.
…Could it be that I was somehow in easy mode in life?
“But with my face, wouldn’t I not be going to the kitchen? It’s more likely that they’d have me serve to spread the word about how pretty I am!”
“What’s that, you’re uglier than me.”
“…Even if you’re prettier than me, I’m worried customer traffic could drop because of your scary face, so I wouldn’t use you as a service staff!”
Thud!
“Ow! Stop hitting me! You saw me throwing up earlier, and you hit me again?!”
“You’re asking for it by acting that way.”
“Ugh! You started it!”
“So what?”
Thud!
“Ah! You hit me again…! d*mn it…! That hurts!”
It’s only natural that you’d take extra damage in areas where you’ve been attacked, but I wish they wouldn’t sound so aggrieved about it.
“Anyway, it’s… 2 PM. I’ll let you stay until dinner, so eat and then go home.”
Getting her to leave as soon as possible is good for my mental health.
“What?! You’re trying to send me home?! Where did the promise of drinking together that you made with me yesterday go?!”
“…You remember that?”
“Yeah!”
… Wow, that was annoying.
I had said it just to soothe her…
Slurp!
“Woo~!”
“…Swallow what’s in your mouth and then talk.”
So the udon really is delicious.
“Promise! You have to keep it!”
Tsk, that’s annoying…
“Hm….”
Let’s think for a moment…
“Sigh… So yesterday I abruptly cut the broadcast because I was going to take you home, right? There are people worried about us, so after giving an update during the day broadcast, I’ll hang out with you. Wait a moment. Oh, contact mom and dad and let them know I’ll stay at our house until today.”
After considering it, I decided it would be better to give her proper drinking lessons again today like I did yesterday.
“Oh, right! I’ll call you after we eat!”
“Okay.”
After chatting and finishing the udon, I went into the soundproof booth to get ready for the broadcast—
“…Why did you follow me in? Stay outside.”
“I’m curious about how the broadcast works! Oh! But older sister, this soundproof booth is awesome!”
“With you here, I’ll unknowingly become foul-mouthed. Go outside.”
“But while watching your broadcast, I noticed your viewers seem to enjoy it when you curse!”
…That’s true.
No, wait, that’s irrelevant.
“Get out. I’ll only be a short hour, so wait a bit.”
Clap!
“Ah! Older sister!”
Nayeon looked like she had an idea and clapped her hands with a smile.
“…I already know you’re thinking of some useless idea, so get out.”
“How about a New Year’s special sibling interview?!”
“Not interested. Go away.”
What kind of interview is that?
She’s not someone who could even use the word ‘interview.’
“Why! Let me appear on the broadcast! I think it would be fun!”
“Go away.”
“Wow… This feels like a passionate tsundere sitcom… You want to protect your younger sibling from those bad viewers, right? It’s okay! I’m fine! I can handle it! I can endure negative comments!”
“No, I just don’t want to expose the shame of our family.”
That’s quite delusional.
Who are they trying to protect someone from?
“…Huh? You’re really making this weird. The shame of our family is revealed every day through casual bad remarks, making people question our upbringing—”
Hmm, it seems I can’t reason with her now.
I naturally and quickly grabbed Nayeon by the back of her neck.
“Uh, older sister…”
“Why.”
“I’ll leave quietly on my own.”
“Good, that was a smart choice.”
I gently let her go.
“Violence is bad….”
Thwack!
“Eek!”
She was hesitating, so I kindly gave her a little kick to give her some momentum.
“Phew….”
Finally, it’s quiet…
Click!
I first locked the soundproof booth door and turned on the computer to get ready for the broadcast—
Bang bang!
“Older sister! Older sister! Open up!”
I could faintly hear Nayeon calling me from outside the soundproof booth.
“Ah… that brat….”
I wonder what her deal is?
If there’s nothing important, I’ll probably let her skip dinner… and smack her.
I walked back to the door and opened it.
With a swing!
“What?”
When I opened the door, Nayeon was holding the expensive whiskey I bought and hadn’t even opened yet.
“What is this! What kind of alcohol is it?!”
…She just suffered from a hangover until a moment ago; why does she like alcohol so much?
Especially since she’s only drunk once.
“Blue Label.”
“…What’s that?”
“A 300,000 won whiskey.”
“…What?”
“I said a 300,000 won whiskey.”
Hearing the price, Nayeon carefully grasped the Blue Label again.
“…Let’s open it today!”
“Are you asking me to open your head?”
“…Uh, if not, it’s no problem.”
“Hmm….”
It seems a waste to give it to someone who just became an adult and doesn’t even know the taste…
“Ugh, just one glass… I’m so curious about the taste….”
“Hm…”
And it’s not even black, but Blue Label, you know.
Until the regression, this is the first thing I bought with my own money…
“Sigh, let’s do it. We’ll drink it later.”
Well, I bought it to drink it on such occasions, so I should open it.
They say if you hold on to it, it will go bad.
“Yay!”
“So during my broadcast, you stay quiet.”
“Sure! I’ll watch your broadcast!”
“…Alright then.”
Leaning back against a now quiet Nayeon, I prepared for the broadcast and turned it on.
-?????
-What’s this daytime broadcast????
-Who are you? Our Roje doesn’t do daytime broadcasts????
Leaving the confused viewers, I played the opening song and posted an announcement in the café.
[ON]
ㅇㅇ
Come to think of it, I had planned to post in the café whether I should do a broadcast today, but I had completely forgotten until just now, and it came to mind as I started the broadcast, so I hurriedly wrote it.
-No, please put some effort into the announcement ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-For real, it’s so lacking in spirit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Guess it really wasn’t a big deal yesterday ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Thank goodness ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
After the opening song ended, I turned on the mic.
“Aah.”
-ㅇㅎ
-I’m relieved it’s like usual.
-But why a daytime broadcast?
“Hello.”
[ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.]
Excuse me, I’m glad you started a daytime broadcast, but why did you do it…?
“Ah, it’s a short daytime broadcast. I’m only doing it for an hour and then I’ll go.”
-Ohmygod!
-I don’t want it!
-Stop messing around ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴDeleted Message.
“Blame my younger sibling for it.”
-?
-Younger sibling?
-Why younger sibling?
“The reason is… hmm… I think it would make you all angry if I talk, so I’ll keep it no comment.”
-You’re just being too normal, aren’t you? Are you worried about me?
ㄴDeleted Message.
-So there’s no need for Roje to worry, right?
ㄴDeleted Message.
-I’m glad to know nothing is wrong but it’s so frustrating^^
“I’m just doing a short broadcast to eat dinner since I met up after a long time. I debated whether to take a break or not because I left so abruptly yesterday, thinking you might worry unnecessarily, so I decided to broadcast. Originally, it was going to be a break, but all of a sudden, there’s a broadcast, so don’t complain about it being short and think positively.”
-Oh? So it’s just regular tsundere thinking?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Starting the New Year with such a tsundere vibe ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ohmygosh! Please eat during the broadcast!
“…I really don’t understand how you find any tsundere feeling in that statement?”
What am I going to do about this framing?
Because of the framing, I can’t speak freely without being labeled as a tsundere.
[ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.]
That aside, is your younger sibling at home right now?
“…So what if they are?”
[ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.]
Can’t you call them?
“I don’t want to.”
-Direct answer, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That was a zero to a hundred? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-So decisive! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“They’re probably watching the broadcast, so if they see this donation, if they’ve arrived outside the soundproof booth, they should quietly go back to the sofa.”
-Seriously?
-Do they seem really close to each other?
-I find it fascinating since I don’t talk to my sibling at all…
Bang bang!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is it real? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-So this is real ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Their relationship seems so good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Just a moment.”
I muted the mic.
[ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.]
So Roje is a reality sibling, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???? Is your younger sibling a guy???
-Hmm? But if they’re so quick to share a byline, they must be a guy, right?
-They’re a retired high school girl who gets beaten up by her sister; no rumors needed.
…What are they talking about?
“I’m back. And even though I brought it up first, why are you so interested in my younger sibling?”
-Just curious about how cruel you were when you were young.
-I’m curious about what it’s like to be the sibling of a bad person.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s obvious that before you lived alone, your younger sibling had it tough ㅋㅋ
“Be nice to that kid… um… be really nice.”
What sister would give Blue Label to her younger sibling who just became an adult?
That’s being nice, right?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There was buffering? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-You must have some guilt, huh? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But after thinking it over, your words about being nice seem sincere.
[ㅇㅇ donated 1,000 won.]
But why is your younger sibling’s gender kept private?????
-That’s what I’m saying! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I’ve never seen anyone keep their sibling’s gender a secret before. ㅋㅋ
-Generally, even if they’re not featured, isn’t the gender usually revealed?
-For real, it’s something trivial, but the secrecy just makes me more curious.
“Well… for personal protection. There’s no special reason.”
In fact, there is a bit of a reason.
I think revealing just the gender wouldn’t cause any major issues.
However!
Given the nature of the viewers, if they found out Nayeon is a girl, they would probably ask for her to marry them, or want to take her for themselves, or call me a ‘sister-in-law’; clearly, it wouldn’t be good to reveal that.
Thinking of Nayeon reveling in her popularity after seeing that makes my bl**d boil again.
So, for my own health, it’s better to keep it as a MacGuffin and create curiosity—
“Sis!”
“Ah, my nape….”
…Is that brat doing this on purpose?
-??
-Why suddenly your nape???
-Are you hurt???
Ah, I guess that sound didn’t go into the mic?
…I’m relieved.
“Um….”
For now, I’ll confiscate the Blue Label— no, wait.
I’ll transfer its contents elsewhere and use the empty bottle to let them know what Blue Label tastes like, which they were so curious about.
I need to show it’s worth the price.
