TS Vtuber Streaming Life - Chapter 8

Today is the day many people have been looking forward to, the day of the reality collaboration.

Since we are going to do the collaboration at the company this afternoon, I started preparing after rolling around in bed for a bit.

I had to go outside, so after washing up, while drying my hair, I suddenly thought about something.

Isn’t having long hair too uncomfortable?

No, the time it takes to dry my hair after washing is too long…

Sometimes, it even gets in my mouth when I turn my head sharply, which is annoying…

Still, I endure it because long straight hair is my preference, but I don’t know how long I can hold out.

Well, even if it’s uncomfortable right now, I can’t just cut it short, so I kept that thought to myself.

Anyway, after drying my hair, I grabbed the hair at the back of my head with both hands to tie it up.

In that state, I just had to put it in a hair tie—ah—

Ugh…

Several times, my hair wouldn’t go in neatly, and a few strands kept coming out.

I remember doing this just fine before.

Hmm… Should I really cut it short? It would suit me no matter what hairstyle I have.

Maybe because I was already dissatisfied with my long hair, cutting it short looked so attractive.

To check how it would feel if I got a bob, I held my hair in front of the mirror.

…No. I can’t ever have short hair for the rest of my life.

This is… not going to work…

It’s pretty, but this isn’t it.

I just realized that my already scary-looking face could look even scarier with short hair.

Isn’t having hair like a harness?

If I go short, I wonder if no one but my parents would be able to look at my face. Including Nayeon.

Ah, Dad wouldn’t be able to either.

So, for the sake of my social life, I can’t get short hair.

And I’m scared too! Even though I got used to my face!

Hah… Let’s just tie my hair up.

As I tried again, the result came out okay.

Oh! Nice—ah.

Upon closer inspection, I saw a noticeably one strand sticking out.

Hmm… I’ll just pull it out.

Since it was the best I could do today, I pulled the stray hair.

I felt a sharp sting at the back of my head, and a bunch of hair came out in my hand.

I threw the hair in the trash can, came back, got dressed, and while looking at my face in the mirror, I thought.

Hmm, as expected. This outfit is sufficient.

Currently, I’m wearing my usual outing clothes—a black hoodie and sweatpants.

It seems like I’ve evolved from just outing wear to a favorite outfit level.

“Ah, I’m excited.”

Unintentionally, my thoughts came out loud.

Lately, I haven’t gone to a vocal academy, so besides going to the company, I didn’t have many chances to see how people react to my appearance.

Furthermore, since I have built an image, I am naturally curious about how the members will react.

With anticipation, I arrived at the company, which now feels a bit familiar.

I wonder who got here first? Am I the earliest?

Upon finding the place we agreed to meet and opening the door, I saw two women staring at me.

“Uh? Uh?!”

“Um! Did you come to the wrong place?!”

Suppressing my rising smile at their familiar voices, I replied.

“Hello, I’m Yeonwoo.”

“Eh?! Really?! No! This voice is definitely Yeonwoo!”

“Wow! Wow!”

The two who arrived first were Yubin and Yuna.

These two were also the first when we called on Discord for the first time, so I guess they must be the type to arrive early.

That said, while it’s understandable for idol trainee Yubin, Yuna is beautiful too.

Pushing the first impression aside, I moved closer and sat down in the chair beside them.

“Wait! Why are you so pretty?!”

“That’s right!”

Up until now, the responses I’ve received were close to shock, but now it felt like a mixture of shock and joy, which was different.

“And you’re tall too! Why is your proportion so good?!”

“Hahaha! Please praise me more!”

Perhaps because they are girls, their detailed reactions explaining what’s great about me naturally lifted my spirits.

“Ah, suddenly seeing Yeonwoo has really woken me up…”

“Yes?”

“Eek! I’m sorry!”

Ah, it seems I inadvertently frowned.

Feeling awkward, I offered an apology.

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

“Oh, it’s okay…”

Just as I tried to say something to lift the suddenly droopy atmosphere, the door opened.

“Ah! Is that our kids?! Everyone is so pretty—huh!”

Sounding like Minseo, she seemed to gasp when she looked at Yubin and Yuna and then saw me.

Phew, I’m glad I don’t have to act like a clown.

“I’m Yeonwoo.”

“What?! Yeonwoo?!”

“Yes.”

Seeing Minseo’s shocked reaction to me brought the atmosphere back to life.

“No way! You were this pretty?!”

“You said I was pretty when I asked before.”

“No! I thought you were joking!”

“I’m sad…”

I pouted and lowered my head as if sulking.

“No…! If you look sad with that face, it makes me feel really bad! Lift your head!”

Why is she so apologetic?

Watching Minseo react excessively made me think of something funny.

“Unnie….”

Oh, I almost flinched again. When will I get used to this title?

Still, in order to put my thoughts into action, I used a title I don’t normally use.

“Yes! Yeonwoo! I’m sorry!”

I looked at Minseo, who seemed to be in a good mood, and said.

“If you’re sorry, show some aegyo.”

“Huh?”

“On the broadcast.”

If she does it, great; if not, that’s okay.

“No! That’s a bit…!”

But seeing Minseo waver more than I expected made me feel hopeful, so I decided to push a little further.

“You won’t do it…?”

I really might consider doing some voice acting.

The emotions felt in her voice are changing drastically.

“Ah! No! That!”

“Unnie! You’re being too much! What’s so hard about showing aegyo? Our maknae wants to see it! Right? Yeonwoo?”

Yubin chimed in, hugging me.

Whoa, that surprised me!

Even if it’s among women, is it normal to hug someone like this?

I thought hugs between men only happened to slam each other outside.

“I’m fine; you don’t have to make it too long. I just need enough to get the right broadcast feel.”

Still, showing my professional mindset, I added without showing it.

“Ah, okay… Unnie is sorry?”

“Hehe.”

I let a smile escape, unable to hold back the upward curve of my lips.

“Hmm? Yeonwoo…?”

“Yay! Yeonwoo! Nice!”

“You saved me.”

That was excellent support.

“Hey, everyone?!”

“Make sure to tell anyone who arrives later.”

We’ll definitely get the right broadcast feel.

“Yeah! Let’s ask Sua about the comments when she arrives!”

“Was… I tricked…?”

“No, you just helped me. If you say it like that, I become the one who tricked you.”

You should say it clearly.

“No! That’s not true!”

“Hahaha!”

This is fun.

As expected, she’s one of the punching bags in our group.

The other one is—

“But why is Yuna so quiet?”

Ah, she might be getting ready to hit me now.

I should hit too.

“That’s right. I thought you weren’t here.”

“No! I was going to say something—”

“Hey! I told you guys not to bother Yuna!”

“Unnie, you try it too! It’s fun!”

“That’s right. In our group, you have the second best impact.”

“Second? Then who’s first?”

I just looked at Minseo without saying a word.

As I kept looking, Minseo turned her head and said.

“Me?! Really?! Is it me?!”

…She must have been scared.

This face gets people.

“Wahaha! Unnie’s impact is the best, for sure! Look back at this!”

While we were playing around, the other two arrived.

“Wow! You’re Yeonwoo?! So pretty! But… please don’t look at me…”

Even though my scary-looking face is true, is it really so bad that I get such a comment on the first meeting?

…No, I guess it’s right. Uh-huh.

I corrected my thoughts based on the memories that came to mind.

Maybe I lost my judgment temporarily due to the damage I received from Minseo earlier.

“No, Sua, you’re also so pretty!”

Sua was an extraordinarily beautiful girl who matched her image, resembling a cat.

“But where is Yeonwoo?”

And finally arrived Yerin did not recognize me at first.

“What?! This person is Yeonwoo?!”

It was amusing to see someone who normally has a blank expression being surprised.

For reference, Yerin was also a cold beauty.

…But since we’re a VTuber group, is it right to care about the red pill?

Why does everyone look objectively beautiful?

Well, it makes sense that good-looking people would apply to auditions if they are also talented. Let’s think positively.

How would I know what the interviewers thought about the candidates?

“So, are we starting?”

After a brief preparation, we began the broadcast.

Maybe the mention of a reality collaboration drew attention; the viewer count is unusually high.

“Wow… It’s ironic how viewers are more curious about reality while watching VTubers, but since they are our viewers, we should keep them entertained, right?”

“Hey! Roje!”

-?

-Why is this b*tch starting trouble as soon as she gets tall?

ㄴDeleted message.

-I’m here to see your ugly face

ㄴDeleted message.

Currently, our group’s viewer demographics are quite unique.

There are people watching VTubers, people just watching live broadcasts, community members, and a very small number of fans from our trainee days.

Among those community members, 90% are my viewers.

Once I decided to do a broadcast to attract attention, the current situation was expected, so I’m not upset about it.

However, while it’s okay to ignore comments during my solo broadcasts, it’s a group broadcast, so causing trouble is not good, is it?

What I just said was a filtering process.

Those who know how to wear a mask probably held back their reactions to my words.

The people who were cut off just couldn’t wear one.

Those who were meant to be eliminated have been, so I have no guilt about it.

“Roje, you’re not being serious, right…?”

Ah, talking while broadcasting, have I developed a habit of letting my thoughts slip out?

I should be more careful next time.

“Of course, it’s a joke!”

Well, I hope they let it slide.

-^^ I’ll work hard to wear my mask!

-Even if I get eliminated, I’ll still curse and leave

ㄴDeleted message.

-Roje, you’re especially annoying today^^!

-That’s clearly a serious comment, you know.

-I’ll be careful not to get eliminated^^

-Don’t you have any sense of guilt?

…I guess it doesn’t work?
