Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 164

“This… this is…”

“Look, it’s even on sale. I’ll get you the DLCs too.”

“Uh… no, it’s fine.”

– Ah
– Sorry about that
– Aaaahhh
– What is this?
– What are you guys doing?
– Everyone, just leave, please

The game I decided to buy for my dear junior was Civilization.

I had considered Three Kingdoms, but then I remembered—Civilization supports multiplayer, doesn’t it?

If I start with Seo Eunha and gradually add more people, we might eventually have a massive multiplayer session with all the juniors.

A large-scale Civilization collab featuring VTubers…

Now that would go down in history.

“But is it really okay to do this?”

Even as she installed the game, Seo Eunha kept glancing at the chat, clearly worried.

Tsk, with that mindset, she’ll never survive in the world of internet streaming.

“Eunha.”

“Y-yes?”

“Take a good look at the chat.”

– Look at what, LOL
– Stop installing it, please
– Honestly, this could be fun, upvote
– Don’t read chat
– Who’s Mirror?
– The character is actually really pretty
– Can’t we just do the World Cup again…?

Seo Eunha followed my instruction and glanced at the chat, then looked back at me with a confused expression.

She had no idea why I asked her to look.

“W-what am I supposed to see?”

…Well, the chat was chaotic, but it conveyed one undeniable fact.

“All these people… you’re the one controlling their emotions right now.”

– ??? LOL
– This b**, LOL**
– What the hell
– Did you really think that way?!
– What do you mean by that?

“Huh?”

“Just kidding, just kidding. Alright, looks like the game is almost installed. Let’s start.”

The reason I could stay so relaxed despite the raging chat was simple.

I didn’t do anything wrong.

I wasn’t involved in any controversy.

I had simply done something surprising and impressive.

But now, people had flocked here, causing chaos in the chat.

In the future, when Celestials becomes a globally recognized VTuber group, this event will go down in history.

And I?

I’ll be remembered as the victim.

With that, we launched Civilization.

– Please, just don’t
– Stop it
– Mirror, your song was great!
– Just leave, LOL
– We’re sorry…

Sure, the viewers were screaming in protest… but what could I do?

They marked the location; it’s not my fault.

I wasn’t even planning to play Civilization today.

“Alright, now you pick a civilization.”

“Umm… which one is good?”

Well, there are plenty of good civilizations, but this is meant to be a fun experience.

“Just pick a country you like.”

Any country would do.

– ??
– So, what did you choose?
– Fact: Mirror always plays Germany or Japan
– Every game, Mirror picks them

“Hey, I picked those for fun, okay?”

If you guys keep framing it that way, how does that make me look?

Besides, what’s wrong with Germany and Japan?

These people, always looking for an angle.

“Oh, then…”

After a moment of hesitation, Seo Eunha picked her civilization.

[Japan – Tokugawa]

“L-like this?”

“…Yeah, that works.”

– LOL
– You two are exactly the same
– The Great Japan
– A true VTuber must have a Japan bias

Well, considering how much she loves J-pop, it makes sense she’d pick Japan.

Besides, Japan isn’t a bad choice…

And so, Seo Eunha’s first Civilization game began.

“Is this right?”

“Yeah, yeah, now you…”

– FFS
– Just stop it
– Mirror, what’s this about you featuring in SlimGold’s album?
– When did you do the feature?
– Mirror is a fraud, LOL
– Loved the song, though

As the chat grew increasingly chaotic, I began giving Civilization lessons in earnest.

It turned out Seo Eunha had never played this type of game before.

Tsk, if you don’t even know the basics, how are you supposed to exploit people?

“Oh, I saw this on a stream once, do I do it like this…?”

“Oh, you actually know some stuff?”

Luckily, she had watched my streams enough to grasp some basic mechanics.

“Now, build a scout.”

“More? But isn’t it better to start with a settler?”

“…Did you just talk back to me?”

– LOL
– For real
– Is this where the featured artist is?
– What even is this game?
– Honestly, I always thought the same

“Listen, scouting is everything.”

And yet, this junior wanted to expand without even scouting first?

You need to check your surroundings to pick a good location!

“I mean, I heard that in this version, it’s better to build settlers first…”

“….”

– True
– The junior actually knows better
– Maybe Mirror should stop backseating? LOL
– Mirror, maybe you should leave now? LOL

“Whoa, there are barbarians over here.”

“Barbarians? Get rid of them fast.”

“Oh no, my warrior is too far away!”

“See? This is why I told you to build a scout first. You can’t defend yourself if all you do is build settlers.”

“…Wouldn’t a scout have died just the same?”

“…A-at least it would buy time.”

“Uh… there’s a lot of them?”

“Oh… crap, yeah.”

– Fact: Mirror isn’t actually that good either
– This is painful to watch, LOL
– Should’ve built a Spearman
– So, who’s Mirror?
– Why did they send the warrior so far?

[Thank you, OOO, for the 1,000 won donation!]
“Mirror? You’re a great singer, but you’re absolutely terrible at this game, LOL. You’re the one playing, right?”

“Oi, you little—”

Now they’re even using donations to mess with me?

– LOL
– They’re right though
– Fact: Both of them suck at this game
– So, who’s Mirror, again?

Ugh, today is a mess.

But… is this really trolling?

They seem to be enjoying themselves…

“Oh, um… are they attacking my city?”

“Oh, crap, get some warriors now.”

“But the barbarians have horsemen?”

“Ah… well, uh…”

And just like that, our Civilization game ended with our cities getting completely destroyed by barbarians.

The game was a disaster, but at least the stream wasn’t a total failure… probably.

After the Stream

“Phew… it’s finally over.”

As soon as the stream ended, Seo Eunha slumped in her chair, clearly exhausted from dealing with chat.

“Yeah, for real.”

We had streamed longer than I originally planned, so my whole body felt stiff.

Maybe I overdid it?

“But it was fun, right?”

“Huh? Oh, uh… y-yeah…”

…What’s this?

Now that the stream is over, she’s avoiding eye contact and acting awkward again?

Is she only confident on stream?

“Why are you acting so awkward?”

“I-it’s nothing…”

Oh well. As long as she’s fine on stream, it doesn’t really matter.

It was already late, so I stood up.

“Alright, I should head home.”

“I-I’ll walk you out.”

And thus, I ended up staying the night at Seo Eunha’s house.

…Well, tomorrow, we’ll go shopping.
