TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 72

Since then, I’ve been anxious and prepared, thinking that there might be more articles about my personal information coming out, but even with additional testimonies, there has been no mention of my story at all.

…Is this the only thing that has come out?

[Wow, hahaha that crazy guy is messing with Ms. Bae Se-yeon, hahaha]

The stock prices have skyrocketed lately, so Ms. Bae Se-yeon’s value must have gone up; is he crazy? Hahahaha

– For real, hahaha

– During filming, he kept trying to get physical with Ms. Bae Se-yeon, making everyone on set super uncomfortable.

n: Oh, are you a staff member?

n: This is a secret, but someone on set blocked that stuff, so it was alright.

n: Friend, I don’t know who you are, but you’re not trying to bring that up, right?

n: Don’t worry, yeah, it came up in a nightmare for me yesterday; I also know my life is important and all.

n: You too?

n: Hey! Me too!

n: n: ? Are you guys crazy? What nonsense is this?

[You guys!!!!!! Everyone who was on set, shut up!!!!]

Please, don’t mention it…!!!!!

I’m truly anxious that it feels like I might take collective responsibility because of you…!!!!!!!!

– Wow… seriously… Why do I feel like I might be held collectively responsible when it really comes out…?

– But seriously, looking at all the noise right now, even if I feel an itch to talk, it reminds me of that time and drains the color from my face, so I’d rather have this topic buried quickly… I don’t want to think about it…

n: For real, for real, everyone who was there will agree, right?

n: No, you guys!!!!! Don’t talk about things only you know—just let it out????

n: n: If you had been there, you would understand what I’m saying… Besides, even if I talked about it, I don’t think you’d get it anyway…

I dug through countless communities and threads online, but these two posts were the only ones that mentioned anything related to me.

…It really doesn’t make sense.

Is this even possible, like some urban legend?

No, I now realize that I must have looked scarier than usual at that time.

I tried my best to manage my expressions, but seeing people’s reactions, it seemed like my feelings of discomfort must have unconsciously shown on my face.

…But is it to that extent? Do I get nightmares about it? Is it so bad that I don’t even want to think about it? That there’s not a shred of information coming out about it?

“Ugh…”

It’s certainly good that my personal information is being protected, but…

At this point, I started to wonder just how far my face can go.

Huh?! What if I run into gangsters on the street, and they greet me with ‘Sister’ on the first encounter?

…d*mn it! Why does that not seem entirely impossible?!

I had a brain meltdown from this sudden thought and quickly shifted my consciousness to another topic.

Other thoughts…! Let’s think of something else…!

Ah, speaking of which, since that day, I haven’t heard from Ms. Se-young, who used to contact me at least once a week…?

Of all things to change my mind with, is it this…?

…Maybe I should just sleep.

“Hm… No matter how I think about it, it can’t be that level…”

– ?

– Did you eat something wrong?

– What nonsense is this?

n: Deleted message.

Ah, suddenly thinking of that day must have slipped out of my mouth.

“Why are you eavesdropping on me?”

– ?

– Why is this girl acting like this today?

n: Deleted message.

– The crazy girl is starting her episode today.

n: Deleted message.

“Anyway, let’s move on. What should we do now?”

I swiftly interrupted the flow to avoid making the mood awkward.

– Why should we think about that for you…

– You should be thinking, you idiot.

n: Deleted message.

– Why do you seem so off today?

“Off? Ah, I’ve got a game called ‘Tightening the Screws,’ but how about we quietly play that?”

– No way, hahahaha, what kind of cr*p game is that? Hahahahaha

– Ah, it sounds boring just by looking at it.

n: Deleted message.

– Where do you even get to know about games like that? Hahahahaha

– Aoo!!!! This game nerd!!!! Bring a real game!!!

n: Deleted message.

Hm… The viewers’ tastes are too picky…

…It seems the games I’ve only introduced so far have spoiled them.

Next time, I really need to bring a crappy game.

Then, they might think a game that tightens screws is a fairy tale level.

“You should be thankful that I’m a good person.”

– ?

– You’re pretty abrasive today.

– Hahahaha, she’s claiming she’s a good person herself, hahahahahaha

If I can make it so the broadcast stays fun and they aren’t picky, isn’t that a good thing?

“Let’s keep looking at some cafes and think of what to do. If nothing comes to mind, we’ll end the stream.”

– Ah, come on.

n: Deleted message.

– Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

– I don’t want to!!!!!!!!

“Today, we’ve done enough already. It’s almost been 3 hours.”

We have long since filled the average broadcast time.

If I were to end the stream now, I’d just be indulging their tantrums, adding fuel to my rebellious streak…

Anyway, I refreshed the cafe.

[ㅇㅎ) Famous female singer ㄷㄷ]

Click.

Oh, I clicked on the wrong thing.

– ?

– What are you doing, hahahaha?

– Why did you click this? Hahahahaha

– Omo-woo!

…I was trying to click on the thread above this one.

I quickly pulled myself together and was about to go back, but I caught a glimpse of the content that loaded.

“Oh, what? It was a bait post.”

Phew… That’s a relief…

I looked at the content of the thread once in peace, then quickly hit the back button.

– No way, hahaha, how do you bring up entertainment news like this? Hahahahaha

– Is this something that can be openly watched on a broadcast?

– But isn’t that already a resolved incident?

…It was a post that brought in news about that Chinese restaurant incident.

No… Why did they post this as a bait after a bad event…?

“What on earth did you guys see? I didn’t see anything.”

– Ah, for real, haha.

– Hahaha, I really didn’t see anything either.

– Sorry… Maybe I didn’t sleep well and saw something shady…

Hmm, everyone’s perceptive.

The atmosphere seemed to be moving past things related to this since everyone likely knows that if I said something careless, I could fall into the abyss.

“Oh dear… If you saw something shady because you didn’t sleep well, quickly get some rest.”

– Hey, you little sh*t.

n: Deleted message.

– Hahaha, see you later.

– I’m not going far, hahahahahaha.

“Just kidding.”

– Ah, d*mn.

– It would have been fun if you had really sent them away.

– Hahahahahaha.

“However, the person who baited in the cafe just now… I’ll give you a timeout for about 3 days. Rest up and come back.”

– Hahahaha, the bait was definitely crossing the line.

– Seriously, thinking about how I clicked on the bait, that’s just hilarious, you idiot. Hahahahaha.

n: Deleted message.

– Acting all proper while you can’t resist a bait post, look at that! Hahahahaha.

Sigh… Even if it’s a click misfire, I know they won’t believe me.

Yeah, I wouldn’t believe it either…

“Anyway, it was really a mistake.”

But I should at least say it out loud.

– Hahahaha, right, hahaha.

– Yeah, as if that’s true, hahahahaha.

– Aha! Is that so? That’s really too bad!

Yeah, I figured they wouldn’t believe it.

Since I had no expectations, I felt no sense of disappointment or sadness.

“Then… slowly….”

– Looks like it was a mistake??????

– It was a mistake.

– Ah, hahaha, you should have said it earlier.

– Our Confucian Dragon would never do that, hahaha.

Huh? That’s not a threat?

“Seriously, I’m ending the stream now?”

– Hey, you pervert.

– Is that a mistake?

– Would there even be a mistake in your physical appearance?

[ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.]

If I leave now, I’m just a pervert who likes female singer bait posts.

But if I stay for another 30 minutes, I’ll be recognized as our Confucian Dragon.

Support me, upvote!

– All good.

– Upvote, upvote.

– I support you.

– All good.

– Upvote!

…Alright, I’ll stay for just 30 more minutes.

After some interaction, when the 30 minutes had passed, I ended the stream without delay.

***

A few days later.

As time passed without any additional bait or testimonies, people stopped mentioning the incident that day.

In other words, it means it’s finally safe to go to the hall for food.

It’s been a while since I’ve been.

Has it been about 2 weeks?

Hmm… It’s not that long, really…

Well, I had been going too often before.

It’s only about a 10-minute walk away, so it was just right to grab a meal there whenever I went out.

Anyway, I threw on some clothes casually and, just in case, tossed a pair of sunglasses into my pocket before heading outside.

“Hm….”

…Why is the weather so nice today? Unsettling?

I had a terrible experience on a nice day before…

No, no, the weather shouldn’t matter, right? Every day has been nice recently; to make a statement about the weather, something must have happened every day.

In contrast to my excitement, I arrived at the restaurant without any incident.

Yes! That weather theory was too far-fetched!

I think I was being overly cautious.

“Grandma! I’d like a black bean noodles!”

“Hmm? Is that you, miss? It’s been a while!”

“Yes, it seems to have settled down a bit.”

“Oh my! I’d like to introduce my grandchild to a girl your age if I could! Tsk, tsk, it’s a shame every time I see you!”

“…Yes.”

“Ah, do young people not like this kind of talk? But how old are you, miss?”

“…I’m 20.”

“Hmm? You’re that young? But you did that that day? Oh my… You really don’t seem like an average person with your looks!”

“Oh… yes….”

…Maybe it’s because I haven’t been here for a long time, but she’s speaking more than usual.

Well, since this is my favorite place and there was that incident, she might ask about it.

“Oh my! I’m losing my mind! I’ll fry up the noodles right away. Wait a moment!”

“Yes….”

Shortly after, Grandma brought the food over.

“Here are your black bean noodles! Would you like a little extra on the house?”

“Oh, if that’s the case, I’d be grateful.”

“But do you have a boyfriend, miss?”

…Why is she so interested in my love life?

Was the weather theory really accurate…?

If this keeps up, I feel like I’m going to lose my beloved regular restaurant, so I hurriedly changed the subject.

“I have a question; can I ask it?”

“Hmm? Sure, go ahead~”

“People who were there that day avoided me because they said I looked scary, but how about you, Grandma?”

“Haha~ I’ve lived enough to be fine. I have no regrets~”

…Isn’t that essentially saying it’s scary?

And isn’t this much worse?!

“So do you have a boyfriend~?”

…I want to go home.
