TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 50

“Ah…”

As I thought about what happened today, a sigh escaped me.

No… if they’re lying, shouldn’t they get caught…?

Why do they provoke themselves?

I don’t even know if I should like this or feel bad about it.

Clearly, if judged rationally, it is advantageous, but…

I feel very…

Very strange…

“Ah…”

Ding ding!

Click!

Arriving home, I pressed the door lock and opened the door.

“Ugh…”

Having spent a long time outside, my body longed for the cozy feeling as I was drawn to my bed.

Feeling lazy, I lay on the bed without even taking off my clothes, organizing the results of what happened today.

I had visited seven houses….

Among them, there was just one that was relatively okay?

Well… if I consider broadly, it would be two…

Even if it’s said that house hunting isn’t efficient, two houses?

It wasn’t that I didn’t like the houses.

However, the one I liked the most was too far from the company.

Given that my 3D avatar is in the final stages of being completed, the distance was too fatal since I’d be visiting the company more often.

“Oh, right.”

I had meant to ask my manager about house-related matters, but I forgot…

Since I remembered, I decided to take care of it quickly. Honestly, if I don’t do it now, I might forget again.

Ding ding ding

[Yes, Mr. Yeon-woo. What is it?]

“Oh, manager. It’s nothing much. I took a break from broadcasting today to look at houses.”

[Yes, that’s right.]

“But there aren’t many houses I like, so do you happen to know about real estate?”

Honestly, I didn’t expect much.

How would the manager know about real estate?

I just thought I’d ask because they’re usually so capable.

[Hmm… a house….]

Waiting a moment for the manager to think, I eventually heard a response.

[Ah! There is one that’s decent.]

“Really?”

Is this for real?! Really?!

The manager is truly competent…

The last time, I jokingly considered sending them a box of ginseng; should I send it for real?

I could send it during Chuseok, right?

While I was thinking about that, the manager added more.

[I had looked at all the decent places near the company when I was checking for the dorms for the company’s idols before.]

“…Which department did you do that for?”

[Well… various… it was a department that did odd jobs… Compared to then, it’s pretty comfortable now.]

Sure, office work is easier than on-site work.

[…It would be more comfortable if Mr. Yeon-woo wouldn’t make me worry.]

“If there’s no stress in work, then it’s not work.”

[…The job satisfaction has dropped again.]

“Oh no…”

[Wow…! I really want to hang up the phone quickly right now…!]

The manager has softened a bit compared to when I first saw them, right?

They didn’t show this side before.

Because of that, I couldn’t help but tease them.

Anyways.

“But do you think the house you recommend hasn’t been sold yet?”

If it’s decent enough to consider as a candidate for idol dorms, it should be good, right?

So, it hasn’t been sold yet?

[Ah, thanks to Mr. Yeon-woo, our conversation veered off, so I didn’t mention that?]

“I mean, why didn’t you?”

[…I’ll just say it quickly and hang up.]

“Sure.”

[That house has already been bought.]

“Huh?”

What do you mean?

[That kind of house isn’t a common listing, so the company bought it in advance. It can be used for the next group.]

“…Can I use it?”

I thought it was for the idol dorms.

Can I use it alone?

[You got the game’s first clear yesterday, right? That too, in a pretty flashy way?]

“…Why does that matter?”

[If you push it with that momentum, you can get approval. It’s such a hot topic.]

“Oh…”

So this is how the snowball effect works?

[From the company’s perspective, using it is better than leaving it idle. Also, unlike the idols, if it’s pushed as a jeonse (lease) concept rather than providing accommodation, it can definitely work out.]

“Oh…!”

…But why is the manager so adamant about this?

They usually worked hard, but they weren’t this proactive.

[But can you do me a favor?]

I had a feeling…

After all, there’s no such thing as free kindness in society.

“I’ll hear you out first.”

[You’re really thorough. At this point, just go ahead and do it….]

“I’ll hear you out first.”

I can’t give a definite answer.

If it’s related to an alternate character, I’ll definitely refuse.

But despite this determination, the manager’s request surprised me.

[How about going to Japan with me once?]

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Japan? Suddenly?

Why Japan?

[I need to go on a business trip to a Japanese company regarding 3D technology, and they asked for one VTuber from our company.]

Oh… I see?

I understand why they’re asking me.

But…

“That’s fine, but why me?”

The manager was just saying they didn’t want to work because of me.

I’m confused.

If it were me, I’d take another member who listens well.

[It’s a waste not to use the tactical nuke that I have since I’m having a hard time.]

Huh…? Tactical nuke…?

In an instant, I questioned if I was really at that level, but then I remembered the people who had been honest with me about the state of the house until earlier, and I was convinced.

…I should ask for more information.

“Which company are we going to on this business trip?”

[You know the most famous VTuber company, right?]

“Oh, that one?”

[Yes. It’s a three-day business trip, but if you help for just one day, you can use the remaining two days as free time.]

“Um… when are we going?”

[It’s next week after Chuseok.]

“Oh… So you’re saying I shouldn’t broadcast this month?”

This month, moving, Chuseok, and now a business trip?

It would barely work if I broadcasted every remaining day.

…Should I withdraw my break from broadcasting today?

While I was contemplating, the manager asked again.

[So what do you think? If you say yes, I can make arrangements for the move next week.]

Next week?!

This is serious….

Hmm… I’m really conflicted….

I am somewhat attracted to it.

While today’s results didn’t satisfy me at all, it’s a guaranteed outcome.

But… Japan…

I’ve never been to Japan…

And the manager is busy, so they won’t go with me.

That means I’d have to play alone…

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

Well, I can enjoy myself alone, so it should be okay.

Just wandering around tourist spots will fill two days instantly.

Plus, my listening skills in Japanese are good enough thanks to translation apps and anime.

And if nothing else happens, I can just block the screen and broadcast.

[Ah! I’m so relieved! Thank you!]

“…Can I mention the reason on the broadcast?”

If I say it’s a three-day break because of the business trip to Japan, that might lessen the backlash…

[…I’m sorry.]

…So you’re basically telling me to hold on?

“Okay, I understand. Take care.”

[Ah, yes… Mr. Yeon-woo, take care too…]

Click.

First, I should rescind my break from broadcasting…

Considering future schedules, broadcasting now might be the most popular choice.

With that judgment, I prepared to go live.

-????

-What is this?????

-d*mn!!! You finally learned how to drop an impromptu broadcast!!!!!

ㄴDeleted Message.

Ah, I forgot to change the title.

I changed it to [Schedule Notice].

-You’re doing this because of the move, right?

-Moving is acceptable.

-Are you taking a three-day break?

Hmm… it is three days…

The problem is that it’s three consecutive days every week….

I started the opening song [Moment].

-This again???

-Play something different;;

-Why? This song is good.

Why? Because it’s my work song.

But I can let the complaints slide and focus on organizing the schedule.

If I take some time to pack my things this week, it should be possible to move in two days next week, right?

Yes, if I ask the manager for help, two days would be enough.

And… is this Chuseok a five-day break?

If I consider three days for going to my home…

And… do I have my passport ready at this time…? I need to check…

As I was organizing my schedule, the song ended.

Already?!

This song is four minutes long; why does it feel so short?!

“Ah…”

I’ll need to reorganize later.

Since I had sorted out what I needed to say on the broadcast, I decided to proceed.

“Hello.”

-Hi.

-Roha!

-ㅠㅠㅠ Finally, our beast has grownㅠㅠㅠ Learning to retract breaksㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Wow! I was about to sleep, and what’s with this sudden broadcast!

-Lucky day to see this broadcast?

Everyone is so happy that my conscience…

“Um… Should I quickly mention the schedule notice or take my time?”

-?

-Just do it quickly.

-d*mn it, why did you start the broadcast today; I’m anxious; don’t do that.

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Roje? Do you want to end the broadcast today…? I don’t want to hear it…

I’m sorry, but this has already been decided.

-Quickly ㄱ.

-Let’s just do it quickly.

-I’ll prepare myself mentally.

“Then I’ll say it directly. First, I’ll be moving next week, so I’ll take a two-day break.”

-What? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I expected three days, but two??!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s nothing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Why are you hesitating to say this?

“And the week after that, it’s Chuseok, so I’ll go home, taking around three days off.”

-Okay okay.

-I expected this too ㅇㅇ

-I knew you had to go home, so I anticipated it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Also… ”

-Ya.

-You idiot, again? Again?????

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Again…?

-Wait a minute.

-Roje? Should we end the broadcast…?

“After Chuseok next week, I’ll take around three days off.”

-You b*stard?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-I knew there was a reason why this idiot was redoing breaks ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Didn’t you already have a break scheduled for three weeks in a row?

ㄴDeleted Message.

“The reason is that I can’t tell you due to an embargo.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The embargo is something you just can’t stand ㅋㅋㅋ d*mn it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

-This is getting crazy ㅋㅋㅋ Why are you broadcasting ㅋㅋㅋ Log off ㅋㅋㅋ

Hmm… I expected it, but they’re really losing it…

Now that I’ve given the whip, I should also offer the carrot.

“Instead, after coming back from my hometown during Chuseok, I’ll do a special broadcast.”

-Seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Does that work? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ya ㅋㅋㅋ If you’re going to do it, at least sing something; this is so petty ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Hmm… I anticipated this situation.

So I moved on to the next step.

“If you don’t like it, that’s fine. If there’s too much opposition, I’ll just cancel it. Oh, if that’s the case, is it five days off instead of three?”

-?

-No way, what???

ㄴDeleted Message.

-d*mn it, give me more; why did you take that away ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDeleted Message.

-What are you doing?

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Seriously, are you out of your mind? I already have so many breaks; do you want more?????

ㄴDeleted Message.

“Is Chuseok special broadcast good?”

-Yes^^ (d*mn it)

ㄴDeleted Message.

-I’m so excited to see what kind of broadcast it will be! (b*stard…)

ㄴDeleted Message.

-This is ridiculous (so great^^)

ㄴDeleted Message.

-Wow! A special broadcast! I’m so happy! (Just increase the broadcast days, you j*rk)

ㄴDeleted Message.

I’m glad everyone is happy.
