TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 63
This is not the first time my testimony has come up.
Like many VTubers, I’ve always been asked “Isn’t this you?” since my debut.
Especially, I’ve received a lot of comments on my broadcasts saying my face looks scary, to the extent that there are often posts in the community saying, “Isn’t this Roje?” next to a criminal’s photo.
Because of that, I don’t think there’s any real issue with having this testimony and it’s not really a firm belief either; that’s my current feeling.
However, even so, I thought there must be a reason why the manager seems so anxious, so I hurried back to the accommodation.
“Did you come?”
“Yes. But, as I mentioned earlier, isn’t it a bit over-the-top since it’s just a community post?”
“You need to see this!”
Hmm… let’s see…
[It seems I saw Roje in a red jacket today]
I came to Japan to have fun, you know?
I visited Akihabara, my usual spot in Japan, and went into a claw machine store and was spending money.
But suddenly, I heard the door open, and everyone around me went completely quiet.
I also felt the atmosphere was unusual, so I looked to the entrance to see who had come in, and there were two women.
Wow.
Honestly, one of them was the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life, even more than celebrity photos.
The woman next to her was also pretty, but I didn’t even notice her.
I swear, I was about to change my taste from 2D to 3D!
But here’s the surprising part:
I thought she was beautiful, but I immediately looked down.
You won’t believe it, but I’ve never seen anyone who looked so scary that I felt like I would lose in a staring contest within 10 seconds.
So, she’s incredibly beautiful, but the people in the store didn’t dare to look at her and were just trying to get out quietly.
When they started to play, people started to discreetly leave, right?
But I was a bit far from the entrance and was sneaking away, and seriously, every time I failed to grab something, I felt more and more like
“Is this living????”
The atmosphere was getting colder and colder.
While I was observing, I heard the two women talking, and they were speaking in Korean!
So, accidentally, I overheard a bit of their conversation, and
The incredibly scary-looking woman was called Roje!!!!!!
At that moment, I understood why that person, if she’s Roje, made her members so scared!!!!??
Of course, after that, I panicked and ran away, so I don’t know what happened.
But I’m convinced that person was indeed Roje.
So now, I can’t talk badly about Roje, and I hope she has a good trip to Japan and comes back safely.
Three-line summary:
I think I saw Roje in Akihabara, Japan.
She was incredibly beautiful, like unbelievably beautiful.
But she really looked scary.

Hmm… it was real…
… this is unexpected?
I understand why the manager was so flustered.
Until now, there were only fake testimonies, but I guess when a real one came up, that’s why.
Plus, they know how sensitive I am about my identity.
“Manager, is there any sighting of Mie in Japanese communities or elsewhere?”
“Huh? Ah, there weren’t any…”
“Is that so?”
… so, this isn’t actually about Mie being exposed?
Mie wasn’t spotted, only I was?
Hmm… I’m sorry for being suspicious, Mie…
To explain this situation, honestly, I was careless.
I never imagined such a thing would happen in Japan, not in Korea.
Additionally, Mie said it’s fine to call her just Mie, but compared to Mie, I’m just a low-tier person.
But as I just said, I didn’t think I would get caught calling her by a VTuber’s name in Japan.
No, my rationality is shouting that this shouldn’t be exposed.
Thinking about it again, the evidence is too weak for it to be exposed like this.
The nickname Roje isn’t particularly unique, and my voice isn’t the same as my broadcasts, either.
The reason is…
It must be because of my face…
In the end, all the testimonies that have built up to me looking incredibly scary came back around…
I allowed myself to let those words circulate because no one would think I was a VTuber if they actually saw my real face.
Just like I didn’t recall that I was me before I heard the nickname in the post I just saw.
But… things turned out this way…
Well, since I can’t gather what’s already happened, I guess I should deal with it.
For now, the comments…
– What the heck? This is the most believable testimony so far?
– Eyes are deceiving? How could that be believable? hahahaha
– Is Roje on a three-day break because she went to Japan?
– No, but she said the reason was embargo.
– That’s true? If it’s a trip, she wouldn’t have said it was embargo?
– This post is a lie, why believe it?
– The delusion is intense, hahaha, felt murderous intent, hahaha
– For real, hahaha
– For real, if Roje’s face was what she said in the post, why would she be a VTuber? She’d probably be a celebrity instead.
– But didn’t Roje say that being a celebrity would interfere with her daily life?
I also looked for other comments and spin-offs.
Hmm… it seems public opinion is split 50-50…
The results I found showed an atmosphere that was half and half.
Half the people believe based on detailed discussions and testimonies built up until now.
And half always believes it’s delusion.
So…
“Manager, what was the Wi-Fi password here?”
“Huh? Why…”
“I’m trying to work a little on public opinion.”
If the opinion is split in half, wouldn’t it be enough to just tip it slightly?
Then, people on the other side will naturally stop believing.
I connected to the Wi-Fi, thought about what post to write, and confirmed my IP was set to Japan, then I wrote a post.
[Guys, I might have seen Roje too]
(Super cool photo of a stone statue)
I felt murderous intent looking at this, is it Roje????
Plus, she looked really scary???
Oh my god!!!!!! Was Roje on Jeju Island for her trip???!!
Okay, this should be good.
“Manager, what do you think about this?”
“Well… I have no words.”
As I received confirmation, I posted the writing.
A moment later.
– hahahahaha
– Are you serious? hahahaha
– hahahaha, this was Roje, huh? hahahaha
– For real, what kind of murderous intent is that, hahaha, how could something like that be felt, hahaha, it’s just your delusion! hahahaha
I posted something that mocked the testimony of seeing me among the serious discussion, and it seemed to resonate with those who believed it was delusion, triggering various parodies based on my post.
[This might be Roje too hahahaha]
(Demon photo)
Doesn’t this person radiate murderous intent? hahahaha
– Ahahaha
– So scary;; scared…
– Stop joking hahahaha
[Hey, the guy who posted the demon photo, this is probably Roje]
(Succubus photo)
Demon + Woman + Scary + Attractive
Yeah, this is Roje.
– Whoa
– Pwahaha, whoaaaaaaaaa, hahahaha
– I need the source urgently.
– (link)
– Ah, you baited with the link, what’s that?
– I lost my eyes because of you, you j*rk.
Hmm, it seems I succeeded in manipulating public opinion.
“Is that settled?”
“…Yes.”
“You said there’s no need to worry since it’s just a community post.”
“…Yes.”
“Why do you sound so lifeless?”
“…I really think it’s a relief that Mr. Yeon-woo is on our side.”
What does that mean?
How could such a response come from what I asked?
Anyway, since it’s settled, I shared what I bought from the convenience store with the manager.
“Eat this and gain some strength.”
“Ah… Thank you….”
“Then, I’ll return to my room.”
“Yes….”
I returned to my room, lay down on the bed to sleep, and closed my eyes.
And as I was about to sleep…
Wait, why am I suddenly feeling unfair?!
Mie wasn’t exposed, but I was caught?!
Is this for real?!
As I grumbled about going through all this because of my face, I fell asleep.
***
The next day.
“Mie, please don’t call me Roje anymore.”
“Huh! Are we going to break up?!”
“What? No? Just call me by my name.”
We resolved the nickname issue immediately upon meeting.
“R-Really?!”
“Yes, really.”
“W-Well… Roje’s name is…”
“It’s Yeon-woo.”
“Y-Yeon-woo?”
“Yes.”
“Hehe! I’m so happy!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes!”
Is it really something to be that happy about calling a name?
“Please tell me Mie’s real name.”
“Ah! It’s Miyuki Koko!”
“Oh… your real name and nickname are similar?”
“Yes! It’s originally derived from my real name!”
“Then, can I call you Miyuki?”
“Huh! Of course! But if possible, call me Koko-chan.”
“Sure, Miyuki. We decided to go to Disneyland today, right?”
Oh, that crossed paths again.
“Y-Yes!”
Well, if it was important, they would have said it.
So we arrived at Disneyland.
“Oh…!”
It was fascinating and comforting to see the characters I used to see in Disney cartoons from long ago.
“Yeon-woo! Photos! Let’s take photos!”
“Ah, I’m fine with photos.”
“Huh.”
“…Why is your expression like that?”
Miyuki turned sad at my response.
“I’ve spent two days with Yeon-woo and haven’t had any photos…”
“It’s okay, the members also don’t have any photos of me.”
“Huh.”
Since I had experienced the tiring ordeal of photos with the members, I ignored it and continued exploring deeper.
“Wow….”
It felt like the long-lost childlike innocence was sprouting again.
There were a lot of people in cosplay, and I saw the castle from Disney movies that I watched during the opening.
“Hehe! Isn’t it amazing?!”
…Who added Korean patches for Miyuki?
“Yes.”
But honestly, genuine admiration did come out.
So, I rode attractions with Miyuki, had meals, and stopped by the merchandise store.
“Y-Yeon-woo! Just… just once…!”
“What? What is it-”
…A headband?
What Miyuki showed me was a famous mouse-themed headband.
“I-It’s really…!”
“I don’t want to.”
“I-It’s really…! If you put it on me, I’ll grant you a wish!”
“I don’t have anything I want to wish for.”
“I’ll grant you three wishes!”
“Hmm….”
Isn’t it strange how a wish seems compelling even when there’s nothing to wish for?
“No.”
But today, with the post about the red jacket testimony, I was in a 98% rational state, so I wouldn’t do something impulsive like that.
“How about five wishes?”
“Ugh….
“Hey! If you wear it for just 10 seconds, I’ll grant you ten wishes!”
“Okay.”
You know, typically reason will bend in front of overwhelming dopamine.
