TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 5
[What is this idiot doing?]
Seriously, what is she doing?
-For real
-Debut broadcast Mukbang? Is she really crazy?
[Hahahahaha, sharing a name is just a joke hahahaha]
Hahahahahaha
-Hahaha, I thought I heard wrong
-She’s saying that during her debut?
[But why do I keep hearing a phone ringing?]
Is she not talking to the company?
-It seems like it
N: Hahahahaha, crazy girl hahahaha
[The screen is so messy hahahaha]
Did she draw that herself? Hahahaha
-Yeah, yeah
-That’s right
[I was sure]
That girl chose madness
-Really, she should share her interview stories someday?
-For real, her character is unique
[That being said, the way she started was ridiculously funny]
She talks so grandly, and the main point is Mukbang hahahaha
-I feel like her quotes while eating are super crazy
***
Just doing a Mukbang alone wouldn’t attract attention, so I focused on two points.
The first was just the right amount of annoyance.
Since I judged that VTubers would lose appeal in a Mukbang content, I drew food myself on a drawing tool.
And by showing that on the screen and comparing it to the original food photo, I visually provided some small fun.
-She can’t draw well hahahaha
-But I get what it is and it’s super funny hahahaha
-She’s at least decent enough to distinguish the food
And the second key point was the choice of vocabulary.
“Um… this Roje spicy tteokbokki has a stronger mala flavor so the Roje taste gets overshadowed. It’s a bit lacking to deserve the name Roje. I recommend renaming it to mala tteokbokki mixed with milk.”
-Crazy girl…
-The flavor critique isn’t bad in the middle of everything so it’s super funny hahahaha
-Isn’t it Roje mala tteokbokki?
“I might be biased towards Roje since I am Roje.”
-Crazy girl…
-Crazy girl…
-Crazy girl…

“Oh? This Roje pasta has a taste worthy of the name Roje. Therefore, I will grant it the right to live as Roje by becoming a part of me.”
Slurp!
-Crazy girl hahahaha
N: Deleted Message
-Roje pasta sounds really good…
-Is this an advertisement?
Ding ding ding
-Pick up the phone
-Are you not answering?
-Isn’t it seriously coming for 30 minutes?
“Phone? I don’t know what that means. Are these screams of Roje being absorbed by me?”
-Screams: legit
-I’m not sure about Roje, but the screams seem accurate
-I… now… it’s scarier than fun…
Thanks to my efforts, the current broadcast is smooth sailing.
4,364 viewers.
The words I deliberately chose for engagement seemed to have reached the community, as there were more people than I expected.
“Ah, this Roje braised chicken has enough Roje flavor, but the seasoning is lacking. Um….”
-What should I say?
-Survival?
-At this point, it’s not just scary, it’s miraculous…
“When it comes to Roje, I exceed passing marks, but because it’s lacking in the basics, I will absorb it more after boiling it further in the pot later.”
Seriously… I have to eat only Roje for a week….
I ordered way too much….
“Okay, that’s all the food I prepared.”
-What do we do now?
-Do you sing a song?
-A song?
-Introduction?
Um… it seems like the chat window is asking for the usual singing, skills, etc., for a VTuber debut broadcast.
Shall I sing a song then?
“Then since I’m full, I’ll pick a song to sing.”
-Wow!
-This is it!
-I’m feeling it!
-Roje! Roje! Roje!
-DDD, Roje that has eaten a star is different
Bam bam bam!
-?
-This one?
-This is really hard to do alone?
I picked a boy group’s song.
The reason for picking it is nothing special.
It’s just that I sang it a lot when I went to karaoke as a guy.
What this means is-
-????
-Crazy
-Wow
-It’s lit
-Roje! Roje! Roje!
It’s really hard.
After the song ended, I decided to ignite the chat window filled with cheers calling my name.
“Hm… now there’s nothing to do….”
-?
-Sing another song
-No, do what people in front of you did
“I’m just joking.”
-Crazy girl hahahaha
N: Deleted Message
-Wow
-Fucking hell
N: Deleted Message
It’s been 56 minutes since I’ve been broadcasting now….
Ah!
“I will pick another song to sing.”
-Wow!
-I’m feeling it
-Can you do a girl group’s song?
-Can you do a ballad?
Tap! Tap!
-Wow!
-She’s singing this!
-Extreme
-Rock
-Extreme
-This is good
-Rock
-Rock
The song I picked is a famous indie vibe song in our country.
It’s the kind of song that heavily relies on vocal expression.
-Really, her voice is amazing
-She sings really well DDD
-I really just want a girl group song 😭
While singing, I checked the broadcast time and it was 59 minutes and 50 seconds.
And now it’s time for the first refrain.
“Well then, I’ve filled the broadcast time for an hour, so I will go now. See you next time, everyone.”
Phew, I successfully managed to say everything within 10 seconds.
Looking at the broadcast time, it was comfortably set to exactly 1 hour.
And at the end, the viewer count was 5,083.
Isn’t this enough of an achievement to cover it up?
Ding ding ding
Ah, a call came in.
“Yes, Manager.”
[…Mr. Yeon-woo.]
“Yes.”
[…Do you have anything to say?]
“Ah, the ratings were really good, right? I didn’t think it would be that high, but there were way more viewers than I expected.”
[…Mr. Yeon-woo.]
Oh, sh*t.
[While watching Mr. Yeon-woo’s broadcast-]
“Manager, I’m sorry. I will definitely consult with you before proceeding from now on.”
[…Really?]
“Yes, yes, I’m really sorry. I made a mistake.”
I never thought that the typically business-like manager would show any disappointment.
Was she that concerned?
…Is that how it is?
No, I realized I had gone further and toned it down, so the threshold must have risen. It’s somewhat distressing.
After listening to the manager’s lecture and hanging up, another call came in.
“Hello?”
[Yeon-woo! What’s going on!]
The person calling is Jeon Min-seo, the eldest sister of our group.
“Unni, can’t we just go to Discord and chat together?”
I still can’t get used to calling her ‘unni’….
[Yeah! Get into Discord quickly!]
I could see that five people were already gathered in the Discord room.
As soon as I entered, voices chastising me were heard.
[Hey! What did you do?!]
But I have something to say too.
“But when I asked for something impactful and asked for the last one, everyone agreed, right?”
[No! That’s true, but we didn’t know it would be like that!]
“I said it would be something new and surprising.”
[That’s true, but do you know how much we were worried while watching the broadcast?!]
“I’m sorry….”
I changed my tone to show I was reflecting.
[Oh? No… it’s fine if you reflect!]
Oh? That was easier than expected?
Once Min-seo’s scolding finished, others started to ask their questions.
[But why did you do something like that?]
“For engagement and growth.”
[…Yeah, it was definitely engaging.]
[Then! What were you thinking?!]
“Huh? I just thought of wanting to eat Roje pasta when I received the nickname.”
[I’m more curious about that amazing vocabulary choice!]
“Oh, I normally only speak about 30% of what comes to mind when I talk.”
[…Is that filtering what goes through?]
Huh? The reaction seems a bit lukewarm. I didn’t really do anything special?
“But don’t you all scold me more?”
[We’ve seen you for three weeks, so we know you a bit.]
Since the members have seen me for three weeks, they probably weren’t too worried.
Since I gave them the impression I wouldn’t cross any lines, that was clear.
And I answered like that because I was aware of it.
[But your voice sounds a bit different during the broadcast, right? It was good like that too, though.]
“I guess I got more energized than I expected since the broadcast was fun.”
Unknowingly, my tone automatically rose.
[It must be hard for you to make it fun like you do…]
“If you’re envious, just hold it in.”
[I can’t just hold it in. I can’t do it that way-]
“No.”
[Oh?]
“I just mean to hold it in.”
With that, I left the Discord room.
Phew! What a fulfilling day!
Stretching my tired body, I thought.
How did the community react to it?
Entering felt like opening Pandora’s box, with excitement and fear mixed together.
[Fucking Roje, when are you coming?]
Oh, the first post is this?
[Roje, are you cutting off there?]
If I stopped while taking a sh*t, it would be more refreshing than this.
-Ugh… dirty
N: No, fucking metaphor
-That sh*t smell…
[But isn’t this girl something of a big deal?]
Is it really okay to act like this during the debut broadcast?
-It’s not okay, that’s why calls are coming in like this
N: Oh, please! It’s not a call, it’s the screams of Roje?!
-If you’re worried about that, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
N: That’s true
[This girl has one seriously killer voice]
Why did she do the first song so well?
-For real
-It’s my favorite song and she really captured the original feel well
-What she did with that first song makes what she did with the second worse.
N: For real
Surprisingly normal-
[If Roje is really this hot, it’s fine]
Starting with me first.
-Okay
-Okay
-She’s mine haha
N: She’s mine, you fucking idiot
Hmm… I saw this coming.
s*xual harassment is common in the community-
[I want to see Roje cry]
I want to see her tied up, educated, and crying.
-That’s dangerous…
-That’s somewhat risky, isn’t it?
-Okay
Uh… I anticipated this too.
The posts themselves are similar to many community posts I’ve seen before, but it feels weird because the target is me.
This community is a space for expressing egos. If someone would endure such expressions, they wouldn’t be doing this community at all.
[Review of Roje’s broadcast!]
I don’t know where to write, so I’m leaving my review here!
Roje is so charming!
I’ll make sure to catch the next broadcast too!
-You can leave now
N: Huh? Why is that?
-No… leave the community
-Sorry, it’s just that kind of place
-Here it’s a sh*t pit, so even if you write that, Roje won’t read it
…What I did in the community is being criticized, and I can endure it because I anticipated that I’d be criticized.
But seeing a pure person throw wood on the sh*t pit like that…
And I am the cause of it.
For some reason, I felt a pang of conscience.
…I need to quickly make a fan cafe.
