Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 14

Miro, the video posted by Kim Suhyun, clearly differed from other participants’ content, leading to mixed reactions.

Unlike other participants, she posted a song cover, which stood out, but also resulted in some people viewing him negatively.

(The song video Miro posted on The Six channel)

Who said she can’t sing?

-Seriously, ᄋᄋ, I feel like punching half the participants, ᄋᄋ

-It’s not that bad.

-What? Did Miro sing it?

-ᄋᄋ

-People on the forum said she can’t sing and were mocking her like crazy.

ᄂᄋᄋ

-How much autotune did they do? LOL

ᄂShe said there was no autotune.

ᄂYeah, she can’t do it live.

_____________________

[Miro, why the attitude?]

Seriously, LOL, Anna and Roa also posted their highlight edits, so why does she post a song video?

-Why are you so bitter?

ᄂJust ignore her.

ᄂThis guy is a huge nerd who watches Anna and Roa’s streams, LOL.

ᄂMiro is the same, stop ranking them.

[Miro <– this girl is adorable, I recommend it, ᄋᄋ]

(Video description of Miro’s video on The Six channel)

Imagining Miro registering for vocal lessons and practicing because viewers said she couldn’t sing makes you find it adorable, gets an upvote. ㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn’t it natural to go to vocal lessons if you can’t sing?

ᄂHaha, LOL.

-The great Miro.

[Miro’s voice is really something]

(The song video Miro posted on The Six channel)

I heard it for the first time yesterday and have been listening to it non-stop.

-Hmm… Is it that good?

-I listen to a lot of cover songs, and it’s definitely unique.

-Why not just listen to the original?

_____________________

As someone working in the music industry, it’s really good.

And so, the community buzzed again.

But Miro didn’t stream for two days after posting the fourth audition video, and the buzz quietly died down.

Two days after posting the fourth audition video.

I started streaming today because the results were coming out.

_____________________

[Daewang Miro’s audition result live broadcast]

The audition process and result announcement seem a bit rushed, but given the fast-changing nature of internet culture, it’s inevitable.

As the stream started after a long time, viewers quickly filled in.

________

-Welcome, GOAT.

-Why are you here now?

-What did you do during the break?

-The Daewang, LOL.

________

“Hello, everyone. It’s been a while, right? Did you all rest well? I also took a break.”

________

-What did you do during the break?

“What did I do? Ah… didn’t you see my song video on The Six channel?”

-You sang well, LOL.

-I saw it.

-But what’s the connection?

________

“Do you know how much I practiced for that?”

_____________________

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, LOL.]

-Honestly, isn’t it just autotune? Will I get banned if I say that?

_____________________

-Huh

-Hm

-What

-Oh

________

Autotune?

So you mean the song was edited by a machine?

Autotune isn’t a bad thing. But using that to demean my skills is unforgivable.

“Hah, I didn’t even do any mixing, okay? It’s just my skill.”

________

-Oh, okay, lol

-If you were that good, you’d have a singing broadcast, lol

-Good singing

________

Seeing viewers scratching at me again not long after I started the broadcast makes me furious.

Where did all those people who praised me in the community go?

“Anyway, today is the day the final winner of the Celestial Project is announced. Did everyone vote for me?”

________

-||

-Yes (while voting for Anna)

-Is this person’s name Roa?

-Yes, I did~

-(Secret comment)

________

“Geez, why is everyone so mean?”

Clicking my tongue, I started to talk about what happened during my break.

“During my break, I watched some movies and anime.”

________

-What movie did you watch?

-Oshi no Ko was fun

________

“I just watched whatever was trending on OTT. Oshi no Ko? Oh, that was definitely fun.”

Although only one episode has been released, it was the most impressive anime I’ve seen recently.

“The song is good too, right?”

And I know the opening song of that anime is a huge hit right now.

________

-Isn’t it a weeb anime?

-Didn’t you say you hate those?

________

Did I say that? I don’t remember, so I decided to just gloss over it.

“Ah, this one is a bit different. And as for the movies I watched…”

Listing the movies I watched on OTT during my break, time flew by, and the official channel for The Six started their live broadcast.

All.

Set.

[Celestial Project, the end of the journey! Who will be the glorious winner…]

“Look at that title..”

________

-lololol

-Did the boss come up with it?

-Are you allowed to say that?

________

“I was saying the title was well-made?”

Correcting my slip of the tongue, I joined the broadcast and saw a 3D map.

A male host with a 3D avatar was moving around and explaining enthusiastically on a huge screen.

[Now, let’s briefly introduce the journey of the Celestial Project so far…]

Seeing the footage from the first audition on the big screen, I quietly ended the broadcast and turned away from the screen.

________

-??

-What?

-No coverage?

________

“Ah~ I’m a bit embarrassed… I’ll let you know when they announce the winner.”

It seemed like they would show all the audition participants’ activities from the beginning, and I was a bit embarrassed to face my past self.

“Shall we play a game?”

Saying that, I started League of Legends.

This account was newly created yesterday to use for the broadcast.

________

-???

-Is this a live broadcast, but you’re not broadcasting?

-Now, I’m just speechless.

-Finally, you’re playing the game.

________

Since I had never played a game during the audition, the viewers were surprised when I started one.

“Yes, I’m just doing a bot match.”

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, Master Miro!]

-Is it right to be playing LOL during the broadcast of the audition results?

_____________________

“Thank you for the 10,000 won. The results aren’t out yet. If I play one bot match, it’ll be just in time.”

________

-? What bot match?

-A bot match… really?

-K

________

“I’m level 7. I made this account yesterday.”

Saying that, I covered the screen and logged in. After the loading screen, the basic game screen appeared with the nickname and level displayed.

[daewangmiro (7)]

________

-Are you obsessed with Daewang this time?

-Is this your first time playing LOL?

-Just play a normal game.

________

“I have a main account, but I’m leveling this one up for the broadcast. Normal games take too long.”

________

-Then why are you leveling up on the broadcast, seriously?

-What’s your main account’s rank?

________

“Rank? I can hold my own.”

________

-So, Silver, right?

-I can hold my own too (Iron 2)

________

“Yes, yes~”

________

I am different from those people.

I’m in the top 3% tier.

I’ve even been on a winning streak recently, so I might climb higher if I do well.

So, I started the game and picked a new champion for the bot match.

“These skills are tough.”

________

-Why are you taking a support champ to mid?

-Wow, but these bots are good these days.

-Why are the bots so strong?

________

“Wait a second.”

While I was struggling against a fairly strong AI bot,

________

-Hey, it’s starting.

-Come quickly.

-What are you doing?

_____________________

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, Stationery Eraser Thief Miro!]

-This isn’t the time to be playing a game.

_____________________

“Excuse me?”

Is it starting already?

It hasn’t even been 10 minutes into the game.

“They won’t lose without me, right?”

________

-O O O O O

-How can you lose a bot match?

-Just come quickly.

________

Hurrying to close the game, I entered the live broadcast where they seemed to be announcing the winners.

Of course, on the large screen above the host’s head, a cute brown-haired girl avatar with a bread hat was smiling.

[We have finished interviewing the first winner, Anna! Now, let’s introduce the next winner!]

They were already moving on to the second winner after introducing Anna.

“Phew… Thank goodness. It would have been a problem if I were the first winner.”

________

-LOL

-Don’t even dream.

-You’ll be lucky to be the fourth or fifth.

________

Though they were typing like that, they were probably hoping for my win deep down.

…Maybe.

[So, the second winner is…?! Congratulations, Loa!]

Clapping at the sight of the shiny blue-haired character on the screen, I said,

“That person sings K-pop well, right?”

________

-Oh, you know?

-Do you watch other contestants’ broadcasts?

-You know this?

________

“I often watch other people’s broadcasts.”

________

-Really?

-How about streaming instead of watching?

________

“This is research. I can learn a lot from other contestants.”

________

-What do you learn?? Seriously.

-Don’t you know you have to practice what you’ve learned?

________

“If I copy exactly, it’s plagiarism. I plan to adapt and use it.”

________

Chatting with the viewers, I watched as the winners were announced one by one.

[Next winner is… Mylee!]

But even by the third announcement,

[The fourth winner is… drumroll… Congratulations, Maho!]

And even by the fourth, my name was not called, making me gradually anxious.

“What? Oh…”

________

-You were so confident, but now you’re nervous, aren’t you?

-ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ

-Let’s just continue playing LoL, shall we?

-The game probably isn’t over yet.

________

“Guys, I’m about to get eliminated and you think this is funny?”

________

-Hmm…

-I wouldn’t have picked you either.

-It’s a shame…

________

These bastards… Could it be that they really don’t like me?

No… If that were the case, they wouldn’t have come to watch my stream.

[Well… We’ve finally reached this point…]

Whether my heart was troubled or not, time went on, and finally, it was time to announce the fifth contestant.

‘They said they’d pick 5 people…’

So, if I’m not picked here, I’m out.

It’s not like I’ll be devastated if I don’t make it, but it would be a lie to say I wouldn’t be disappointed.

That’s because the starting line for future broadcasting activities would be different for those who are selected and those who are not.

Feeling my heart pounding, I respectfully clasped my hands together.

[Well… We’ve finally reached this point. Now! Let’s introduce the fifth successful contestant! Oh, this person is really fun.]

With the host’s words, a black silhouette appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations! The fifth successful contestant is Haru!]

At the same time, a character with white hair and red eyes appeared on the screen.

“Ah, shit, I didn’t get picked…”

Simultaneously, I unintentionally voiced the thought that came to mind.

________

-ot…

-ugh.

-Hmm…

-There’s still the sixth spot.

-This seems like the last one…

________

Despite my swearing, the chat became solemn.

[Master Miro, thank you for the 10,000 won donation!]

-It’s not over until it’s over.

________

Then, a donation message arrived, and I nodded.

“Yeah~ there’s still the sixth spot left, right?”

Saying that, I watched the fifth contestant’s acceptance speech.

I clapped as I watched the girl, almost in tears, repeatedly expressing her gratitude, and glanced at the game icon I had minimized.

Is it still not over? Since it has come to this, I thought about going back into a bot match, but as a contestant who participated in the audition,

I thought it was polite to listen to the other successful contestants’ speeches until the end, so I listened to them all.

After the speech of Haru, the successful contestant, ended, the host came forward.

[So! We’ve introduced the fifth successful contestant. Now, let’s reveal the final contestant!]

The final one?

There’s still one left?

For some reason, contrary to what the person in charge had said about thinking there would be five, the host’s shout of introducing the sixth contestant

brought an all-too-familiar silhouette to the large screen.

[Congratulations! The final contestant is Miro!]

After seeing the revealed pink-haired avatar, I clenched my fist and cheered.
