TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 77
Time passed, and before I knew it, October had ended and November had begun.
…Time usually flies by quickly, but when you’re busy, it seems to go by even faster.
I can’t say that I’ve done so much that it’s already over, but…
“I have something to announce.”
Anyway, the fact that it’s November means I need to take a break from broadcasting to focus on stage practice.
It’s unfortunate for the viewers, but the rehearsal with Se-young and the joint rehearsal on the main stage are included in this break period, so negotiating the break period is also not possible.
-?
-Going to the hospital?
-Going to the hospital finally?
-I understand if you’re taking a break for a health check-up at the hospital.
“No… I said I’m not sick—Argh! Why am I getting frustrated all of a sudden?! Was that an explanation I needed to give?!”
-I guess I’ll need to go to the hospital if my bl**d pressure goes up, hahahaha.
-Hahahaha.
-But I really thought I was sick back then, hahahaha.
-For real, lol.
Since that day, a lot of people have started to care about my health whenever I do something.
No…! I know it’s because I’m reacting particularly strongly to this…!
I was really frustrated at that time! Even after explaining for 30 minutes, they still wouldn’t believe me!
“Hmm, okay. I’m calm now.”
But after venting my emotions by shouting once, I calmed down.
-You really are good at controlling your anger.
-It’s fascinating every time I see it.
-I’ve never seen anyone calm their emotions this quickly in my life.
-Actually, this is all an act, and she’s pretending to be angry, you know?
Deleted message.
-That’s so shady, have a drink.
-You can’t get rid of your shady nature.
…These days, I haven’t been seeing the term ‘shady’ often, but it’s starting to pop up again.
I thought being good at emotional control was a plus, but I’ve just learned that it can also make me look shady.
“Anyway, Zero Members? I have an announcement.”
-????
-Why are you calling the fandom name so awkwardly…?
-???? You called us by the fandom name instead of saying “you all”??????
-Are you really using a fandom name you never used before…? This makes me uneasy…
…Did I really not call the fandom name that often?
Hmm… Thinking about it, I always just called them “you all,” and it seems like I only used the fandom name for about a week after creating it…
Well, I can start using it more often from now on.
“Anyway, you all.”
Ah, I didn’t use it again….
…This is why habits are important, right?
I reminded myself that I need to do better next time and finished what I was going to say.
“I’ll be taking a four-day break starting tomorrow.”
-d*mn it.
Deleted message.
-Do you want to d*e? Should I physically send you to the hospital?
Deleted message.
-Is this your way of reacting today?
Deleted message.
-You’re insane, hahahaha! Four days break, hahahaha! Don’t talk nonsense and just start broadcasting!
Deleted message.
As always, it’s convenient to just delete all the chats when I declare a long break without needing to pick out the curse words.
Hmm… How long will it take this time?
The last time I announced a two-day break, it was about 2 minutes, right?
I quickly started a stopwatch after briefly leaving the chat window unattended.
-So why are you taking a four-day break?????
-d*mn it! At least explain the reason!!!!!!!!!
Deleted message.
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can’t survive four days without Roje ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
It took exactly 4 minutes and 24.31 seconds to calm down.
Considering the time it took to start and stop the stopwatch, it’s about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
Hmm… If two days takes around 2 minutes, then four days might take around 4 minutes?
Oh, that’s a plausible estimate!
If I say this out loud, I’ll likely trigger another outburst, so I decided to turn the screen and show the stopwatch instead.
“Take a look at this.”
-?
-What is this?
-What’s going on, you?
Deleted message.
“Hey everyone… this is the time you all spent chatting while you were panicking, right?”
-?
-You measured this too…?
-Wow… It’s been a while since I’ve seen this crazy side of Roje…
Deleted message.
-Roje… seriously, let’s get you tested for being shady…
-This sounds more like sociopathy than just being shady…?
“Are you trying to label me as a sociopath just because I’m not just shady enough? I’d let the shady part slide, but that’s a bit much…”
-Not labeling, but it genuinely seems like it, doesn’t it?????
-Isn’t this also WWE?
Deleted message.
-I’m genuinely starting to get scared…
“Well, anyway. The reason I showed you this is to say that we should try to lower the time we spend in a panic like I did.”
Aside from the four minutes of starting and stopping the stopwatch, it’s quite boring to just be sitting here deleting chats with no conversation.
It seems like the two-minute mark was the limit for actual fun last time.
-Long time no see, getting built up like that again…
-I never expected you to build up again lately.
Deleted message.
-I get that, but what’s the reason for the break?
-d*mn it! You’re the one saying things that would make you panic, so why would you want to lower that time?
Deleted message.
“Hmm… The reason for the break is… personally, I have something to attend to, so it’s a bit awkward to say.”
I thought about it a lot, and honestly, it seems like this is the best way to say it without lying.
-Are you going on a trip with your boyfriend?
Deleted message.
-I trusted you, but d*mn, are you going to abandon us for your boyfriend?
Deleted message.
-I can’t believe you’re off to flirt with your real boyfriend after all I’ve done for you…?
-Arrg!!!! My horns!!!!!
“…What nonsense are you all saying?”
-?
-You’re not serious, are you?
-What’s going on? This doesn’t seem like the flustered voice of someone who got caught…
“I’m just really dumbfounded…”
-That’s awkward;;
-Ah… Seems like that’s really not the case…
-Phew! What a relief…
-My horns!!!!! They’re safe!!!!!!
“…It’s not a trip; as I said, I’m going to work.”
-Oh… sorry…
-My bad!!!!!!
-d*mn! Don’t say it in a way that could be misunderstood!!!!
Deleted message.
[Anonymous donated 100,000 won.]
An apology donation, hehe;;
“Ah, yes… Thank you…”
[Supreme Roze donated 300,000 won.]
I’ll spend everything I have…
Can you let me off just this once…?
“No… well… you all have done this more than once…”
[Anonymous donated 1,000 won.]
Mi, mi…!
Crazy woman! You did something wrong first!
“…I’ll temporarily increase the minimum donation amount.”
-Dude, seriously, you need to pick up on the clues…
-If you don’t have money, at least pay attention.
-This loser is ruining Zero’s image entirely.
Deleted message.
“Please don’t curse. You all are freaking out like this because of comments like that, just like that person.”
-Ah…
-If you throw facts out here…
-Cough…
The viewers seemed genuinely awkward and the chat was less active than usual, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere, so just as I was about to change the topic, a donation came in.
[Supreme Roze donated 2,000,000 won.]
Should we just move on…?
“Let’s move on.”
I quickly responded, turned on the broadcast cafe, and continued the stream as usual.
Despite a few hurdles in the middle, I successfully declared a four-day break.
***
“Oh…!”
I arrived with Se-young at the venue for the awards ceremony where we would be rehearsing on the main stage.
Seeing the place I had only ever watched on TV with my own eyes felt fresh and nostalgic.
“You’re so cute when you’re amazed…!”
“…Se-young?”
“Ah! Did I say that out loud?! Sorry!”
Anyway, I entered the waiting room with Se-young.
“Hmm….”
Since it’s a rehearsal that needs to be done like the actual performance, wearing the full set with a mask and gloves is uncomfortable.
Still, no one would be able to guess it’s me looking like this, so I have to bear with it….
But surely I’m not the only one feeling this way, right?
“Wow! Mr. Yeon-woo! You look so cool!”
“Does it feel like my vibe has come through, even with this much effort?”
“Um… I don’t know!”
Well, it seems like it’s alright for sure.
Knock knock!
“Who is it?!”
“Ah! I’m here to introduce myself! Senior! It’s Dynamic!”
“Ah! I’ll open the door!”
Se-young seemed to have debuted ahead of Do-hyun, who belongs to Dynamic, to greet him first.
…Should I call Se-young “senior” too?
Hmm, she’s already established that in her speech, so I guess I can’t change it now.
While I was having such thoughts, the door opened, and they started exchanging albums and greeting each other.
Sigh… I guess I’ll just play by myself….
There’s nothing I can do with this alternate character to minimize information exposure, so I took out my phone and decided to read some webtoons.
Lately, it’s quite entertaining to see the speculation comments on the latest episodes of old masterpieces I already know the story of.
Isn’t this a simple hobby only regressors can enjoy?
“Hello!”
Oh, this comment was well imagined, but it completely misdirected the point.
Oh, this one is somewhat similar, huh?
“Um, excuse me…?”
“Wow.”
I discovered a comment stating that if the plot develops this way, the writer will go to kiss, and I admired how accurately it predicted the outcome.
Is the writer actually taking notes from these comments?
“Yeon—The person over there! Is the one who did the featuring!”
Oh, was that for me?
I ignored it thinking it was for someone else.
“Hello.”
I blended my broadcasting voice with my usual voice to keep my identity hidden.
Hmm… I wonder if it had any effect?
“Oh! Hello! I’m Do-hyun from Dynamic!”
Thankfully, it seems like it worked.
I can only hope that even if someone has talked to me once or twice, they wouldn’t have sensed it was me.
“I’m not sure if I should say this, but I’m a fan! Your tone is so much to my taste! I’m looking forward to your future activities!”
I briefly looked at Do-hyun’s sincere face and then raised my head.
…How is it that he manages to present himself this well every time we meet?
There are at least one or two things I want to comment on, but I can’t reveal that I did the featuring, so I have no choice but to endure it, which is quite sad.
