Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 137

While Miro was deep in the merriment of Hyunsoo’s studio party, blissfully forgetting her stream promise, the online community was alive and bustling, as if it were any ordinary weekend.

[Is Miro an actual socialite? What the hell.]
She has plans two days in a row during Christmas? Seriously?

• For real.
• Pretends to be a shut-in, then pulls this… smh.
    ㄴ Has she ever pretended to be a shut-in?
    ㄴ Well, she does act like she has no friends sometimes.
    ㄴ Yeah, now it all feels like a lie…

[Honestly, Miro’s approach makes more sense.]
Do you really think someone like Miro is a shut-in? It’s more logical to admit you have plans and then stream briefly later.

• As long as she’s not at a motel, it’s fine. LOL.
    ㄴ True LOL.
• As long as she checks in, it’s all good.
• Better than lying about it.
• Haha, look at these clowns trying to justify her absence. She’s obviously with her boyfriend.
    ㄴ Dude, if she were with her boyfriend, she wouldn’t stream at all.
    ㄴ Exactly.

[What’s Miro going to do today?]
She said she’d stream, but it’s Christmas. Isn’t she planning something special?

• We should be grateful if she even shows up.
• The other members aren’t doing anything special either.
    ㄴ They’re all singing Christmas songs, though.
    ㄴ Then just ask her to sing when she streams.
    ㄴ Will that work?
      ㄴ If she wants to, it might.

[It’s evening. When’s she coming?]
Should I order chicken now?

• Yeah, better get ahead of it.
• Delivery times are crazy right now. Order early.
    ㄴ Just ordered. Wait time is an hour. WTF.
    ㄴ LOL good luck.
• I should probably order something, too.

[Say what you will, Celestial Project is the best.]
Look at this. Every single member streams on Christmas. True dedication.

• For real.
• This is what it means to be a VTuber.
• THE Tier of Heaven.

[But when’s Miro showing up?]
My chicken’s almost here.

• Any minute now.
• What if she no-shows?
    ㄴ She wouldn’t.
    ㄴ Nah, Miro always follows through eventually.

[Is she really not coming?]
What the hell is this?

• Chill, she’ll be here soon.

[Wow, she’s really no-showing, huh?]
Unbelievable.

• LOL
• Can’t believe this…
• Such disrespect.

[My chicken’s cold now, damn it.]
(Image of soggy chicken and flat beer)

• LOL just eat it already, idiot.
• Why are you still waiting?
• Oh, she’s at a motel with her boyfriend, obviously.
• Can’t believe she actually ditched us.

[Heaven’s Tier <— WORST GROUP EVER.]
Not a single virgin among them. Absolute trash.

• True.
• At least Roa is still pure.
• These girls are the worst.
• I’m done with Miro after today.

[Miro’s on, LOL.]
She just went live. Knew she wouldn’t let us down.

• Seriously?
    ㄴ (Link to stream)
    ㄴ Let’s goooo!

[Miro starts off with a carol, LOL.]
I told you guys to trust her.

• She actually pulled through.
• Damn, she’s good.
• Go check it out.

On Stream

“How’s that for a carol?”

• Incredible.
• Beautiful.
• Why does it suit her voice so well?

After finishing the song, the reactions in chat were overwhelmingly positive.
I hadn’t expected much since I hadn’t practiced, but it turned out great.

“Knew it’d suit me. Glad you agree!”

Christmas songs naturally rely on emotional resonance, and with the right voice, they can captivate anyone.

• Confidence overload LOL.
• What’s next?
  

“Next? Hmm, let’s take some suggestions since it’s Christmas!”

I didn’t have anything else planned, but that’s what chat’s for.

• Heaven’s Tier songs?
• J-pop?
• How about something Korean?
  

So many suggestions poured in. I skimmed through and settled on something.

“Ooh, a ballad. Perfect for the mood!”

• ??
• Who suggested that?
• That wasn’t even an option!
  

“Alright, let’s do Your Encounter by Kangjun!”

• Who even asked for that?
• No one!

The chat’s mock outrage was amusing. I grinned, confident in my choice.

• Fine, it’s good anyway.
• She’s really improved, hasn’t she?

“Right? My singing’s gotten so much better.”

Even I had to admit it. My voice was stronger, and hitting high notes felt effortless.

• Loving the confidence.
• She’s killing it tonight.
  

“Okay, let’s keep the suggestions coming. Write them up in the fan café!”

• For real?
• Writing now.
• She’s in such a good mood today LOL.
  

While the fans flooded the café with song requests, I browsed the most popular posts. One caught my attention immediately:

[Damn it, damn it!]

“Uh-oh, swearing in the café? That’s not allowed….”

Curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked on the post. It showed a picture of soggy chicken and flat beer.

[You told us to wait, damn it… Look what happened.]

“Oh… Oh no. It’s gone cold.”

• LOL
• Haha!
• Poor guy.

I felt a pang of guilt. If only I hadn’t been late….

“Well, uh… maybe you shouldn’t have ordered so early?”

• ???
• You serious?
• This girl’s got nerves.

“But hey, thanks for waiting. I’ll send you a gift card!”

• What?
• No way.
• QUEEN Miro.
  

You have to appreciate loyal fans. Sending a little something was the least I could do. After that, I went through the song requests and picked a few to perform.

The rest of the stream flew by with chat happily singing along as I tackled a mix of ballads, J-pop, and even a musical number for fun.

The Day After Christmas

The next morning, I got a call from my manager.

“So… is it ready?”
[Yes, it’s finally done.]

The long-awaited Tranquil Lake music video was complete.

“God, I’m so nervous.”

The production team had worked tirelessly through the holidays to make it perfect.

[You’ll love it. Trust me.]
“Alright, let’s see.”

I opened the file and watched. By the time it ended, I couldn’t contain my amazement.

“Wow… this is insane.”

[Good insane, I hope.]
“Absolutely. It’s incredible.”

The visuals exceeded every expectation.

“So, when are we releasing it?”
[That’s up to you. Want to aim for two days before the year-end live?]

That timing felt right. Enough time to let it gain traction, but close enough to tie into the live event.

“Let’s do it. And during the premiere, I’ll stream and watch it live with everyone.”
[Can you handle that? The chat might get overwhelming…]
“Haha, don’t worry. I’ve got a plan.”

With Tranquil Lake officially scheduled, the countdown began. My first original song was about to take the stage.
