Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 126

[“Miro is insane? LOL”]
She had nothing to do, so she started beating up her own teammates out of nowhere.

• For real, something’s off, LOL.
• Even her backseat gaming is ridiculously on point, LOL.

[Miro Chat]
(Miro in Haru’s chatroom)
She’s not even wrong, LOL.

• This girl actually knows her stuff about LoL, LOL.
  ㄴ Is Miro good at LoL?
  ㄴ She says she’s good, claims she was Diamond rank.
  ㄴ Really? Diamond?
  ㄴ But there’s no proof.
• The fact that she’s right just makes it more annoying.

[“Miro vs. Haru, 1v1 incoming?”]
(Haru challenging Miro to a 1v1)
Guess Haru was pretty pissed, LOL.

• If I were her, I’d challenge her too.
• Is Miro good enough to win a 1v1?
  ㄴ She’ll wreck Haru.
  ㄴ Yeah, based on how she plays ARAM, Miro’s actually pretty solid.

[“Miro vs. Haru, 1v1 results are in!”]
(Haru’s stream in black and white)
Haru got destroyed live, LOL.

• Wait, she lost already?
  ㄴ Yep, Miro hit level 2 first and crushed her, LOL.
  ㄴ Too much, LOL.
• Refused a rematch and bailed to another stream. Unreal.
  ㄴ For real?
  ㄴ Yep, ran off to Mahou’s stream, LOL.
  ㄴ She’s crazy….

[“Miro’s Dojo Conquest Update”]
She’s taken down Haru, Mahou, and now she’s at Roa’s stream.

• Can she break Roa’s mental too?
  ㄴ Probably not.
  ㄴ Why not?
  ㄴ I don’t know, she’s just built different.
• If she beats Roa, I’ll give her credit, LOL.

[“Miro: Should I stop here?”]
Just watching Roa’s stream and ran, LOL.
Is she scared?

• Didn’t touch Roa?
  ㄴ Nope, just quietly watched her game and surrendered.
  ㄴ After beating up older members, she avoids someone closer to her age?
• Didn’t touch Anna either.
  ㄴ That’s just respecting elders.
  ㄴ Respecting elders? She’s not even in her 30s yet!
  ㄴ Wait, Anna isn’t 30?
  ㄴ You morons.

[“Miro is hilarious, LOL”]
She beat Haru and Mahou senseless but left Anna’s singing stream without a word.

• LOL, she left because she knew she’d lose.
• This girl is just weak against the strong and strong against the weak.
• Anna’s age does make her feisty, though, LOL.
  ㄴ True.
  ㄴ You can tell she’s got that bitter auntie energy.
  ㄴ Stop being mean.
  ㄴ Is Anna really the meanest in Celestial?
  ㄴ Yep.
  ㄴ No, she’s not, you idiots.

[“So HoI? Are we not doing it?”]
I was excited, but she just bailed.

• She’s never touching it again, LOL.
• Refund secured.
• Was it you who recommended that trash game?
  ㄴ Honestly, it’s fun.
  ㄴ Fun, my ass, you jerk.
• Huge props for abandoning that game, LOL.
  ㄴ Certified win.

Today is Celestial’s dance lesson day.

I really didn’t want to get up in the morning, but I forced myself out of bed.

“Yawn.”

Still sleepy… maybe it’s because I streamed late last night?
I just wanted to kill time, but I got way too into it.

When will these dance lessons end?

Maybe after the year-end live?
No, with how persistent our manager seems, they’ll probably continue.

Anyway, I’ll attend diligently for now.
It’d cost a fortune to hire someone like this privately.

I headed to the meeting spot where I was supposed to meet Mahou.

But as soon as we met….

“You! You! Yesterday!”

Mahou immediately put me in a headlock.
She must still be mad about me invading her stream during the Dojo Conquest.

“Ah! My bones! They’re breaking!”
“Don’t be such a drama queen!”

With her long arms, perfectly suited to her frame, she wrapped them around my neck, and I feared for my fragile bones.
“Seriously, my bones!”
“Oh, oh? Are you okay?”
“Guhhh!”

The price of last night’s mischief was steep.
As I clutched my stiff neck and whimpered, Mahou, realizing her strength, carefully massaged my neck.

“Oh, you’re not trying to break it, are you?”
“I’m giving you a massage!”

Feeling the strange sensation, I said that out of fear, but Mahou just clicked her tongue and gave a surprisingly good massage.

“Oh, wow….”
“Stop making weird noises!”
“It just feels so nice…ugh.”

With Mahou, I headed to the dance studio via subway.
And at the station where we usually met the others….

“Hey! You!”

Haru came charging at me.
She was clearly still upset about last night, where she’d challenged me to a 1v1 in LoL and lost miserably.
But I didn’t initiate it—Haru did.
So, why did she provoke me in the first place?
She should’ve humbly learned from this teacher.

“You have potential… ack!”
I staggered as she tackled me.
Why do these people keep resorting to violence?

Savages…. Any civilized person would challenge me to a proper duel.

“You’re all tough online but a pushover in real life! Take that!”

But Haru didn’t seem to care about my thoughts and shook my frail body wildly.

“Hey, stop it…!”

Finally, Anna stepped in, perhaps noticing the stares we were getting from passersby.

Thank goodness for Anna.

“Thanks….”
“By the way….”
“Yes?”
“You quietly left my stream, huh?”
“Oh.”
“I could’ve backseated too, you know….”

After pulling me away from Haru, Anna said that with a slightly disappointed tone.
It made me chuckle a bit.

Should I say what’s on my mind? Or keep quiet since she helped me?
But seeing her pouty expression, I couldn’t resist.

“You sounded like a boss who missed out on a joke just now.”
“You!”

See? Doesn’t she feel like a boss?
Isn’t she still in her twenties? Why does she act so mature?

In the end, Anna smacked my back.

The unofficial representative of Celestial, Miro.
In real life, she’s just a punching bag.

After those “punishments,” we headed to the dance studio we always used.

We’ve been coming here for a while now.
Today, we started practicing the actual choreography for the year-end live.

The lessons have gotten more intense, so I brace myself every time.
Basically, I come ready to die.

“Screeech…!”
“Just a little more, everyone!”
“Arghhh!”
“Push harder!”
“Ughhh!”
“Even more effort!”

At this point, the instructor knew our limits and pushed us to the edge.
Whenever we got a break, we all collapsed onto the floor.

“Whew… you’ve all improved a lot, though.”

The instructor seemed proud as she spoke, sitting down herself.

We’ve grown closer over these lessons, and now we chat during breaks.

“Instructor, how long will you keep teaching us?”

While lying on the floor catching her breath, Anna asked what we’d all been wondering.

“Oh my, do you want someone else to teach you?”
“What? No way. If it’s not you, there’s no point.”

The instructor jokingly said that, but Anna countered smoothly, true to her professional self.

“That’s touching to hear. Hmm… I’ll probably stick around until the end of the year.”
“Huh, why not longer?”
“Thanks, but I’ve got other commitments.”

Commitments?
Come to think of it, our instructor is pretty famous in the dance world, even appearing on TV.

Honestly, it’s surprising she had time to teach us at all.

“Aw, that’s too bad. Stick with us a little longer.”
“Ha, if you miss me, just give me a call—or watch TV.”

Oh, that was a cool line.
I mentally noted it down in my journal.

“If you miss us, you should turn on Dwitch!”

Just then, Haru, who had been lying on the floor like me, suddenly sat up and said that.

“I already do.”
“What? Really?”
“I watched your streams yesterday, too.”
“Whose did you watch?”

As soon as Haru asked, all the members turned their attention to the instructor.

Professional VTubers, all of us.
Given that everyone except Mile streamed yesterday, it was natural to wonder who she’d chosen to watch.

It must’ve been Anna, right?
Her stream had the most viewers, and since she’s a dancer, it makes sense she’d watch Anna’s singing stream….

“I watched Miro’s.”
“Me?”
“You!”
“Argh, not Miro again!”
“Why her?”
“Why was I born to witness Miro’s rise…?”

As the others groaned, I was left puzzled.
Why me?

“I didn’t do anything yesterday, though.”

Why would she watch my stream? I barely did anything—just tested a game and hopped into others’ streams.

“Well, you’re so charming, aren’t you? I was curious about what someone like you would do on stream, so I watch sometimes.”
“Oh… do you think my beauty shines through on stream?”

The instructor chuckled at my question.
Well, no one could grasp the essence of a Miro stream after just a few watches….

“It doesn’t, right? I mean, you can’t fully understand from just a couple of—”
“It does.”
“What?”

She thinks my charm comes through on stream?

“You have confidence and shamelessness, like you’re saying, ‘You can’t hate me.’ It’s really appealing. I’ve even learned a bit from you.”
“Oh, um….”

That is the core philosophy of Miro’s streams.
I figured that since I’m naturally captivating, I don’t need to do anything special—just be myself.

But to see right through it? She has a talent for viewership.

“Oh, and there’s something I’m curious about, Miro.”
“Yes?”

While I was lost in admiration, the instructor came over and showed me her phone.

“Is this your cousin?”
“My cousin?”

On her phone was a completely unexpected video.

It was of my cousin, Kim Yuna (15), dancing to a trendy song.

No, it wasn’t just a video—it was her entire channel.

“Uh, how do you know her?”
“I had a hunch. I thought she might be related to you.”

Saying that, she clicked on a video at the top of Kim Yuna (15)’s channel.

“This… this is you, isn’t it? I wasn’t sure because the lighting was dim.”

The video she played was…
The one from Chuseok, where we filmed that dance.
