Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 165

[Live Chat from Seo Eunha’s Stream]

(Archived Chat Log)

• This chat is a total mess
  
• What’s going on?
  ㄴ Someone leaked the stream link, and it’s chaos lol
  ㄴ ? Really?
  
• It’s so messy, I can’t even keep up
  

[Whoa, what’s with the viewer count?]

• I knew people were linking it, but this is crazy
  
• The chat is a disaster
  
• Where did they come from?
  ㄴ Pretty much every community out there
  

[Man, I wish they’d all just leave]

• The World Cup stream was so fun, but now the mood is ruined
  
• Yeah, seriously
  
• Seo Eunha looks so nervous
  ㄴ She’s still new, of course she’s panicking
  ㄴ Even Anna would be pulling her hair out over this
  

[Miro, hurry up and get here]

• Please get here fast, Eunha can’t handle this alone
  
• Yeah
  
• Finally, she’s here
  ㄴ Just hearing Miro’s voice makes it feel a bit calmer lol
  ㄴ Yeah, Eunha looked super anxious
  

[Civ drift lmao]

• As soon as people flooded in, she just swerved away from the chaos
  
• Watching Eunha freak out alone was painful, but now that Miro’s here, it’s such a relief
  ㄴ Seriously, instant stability
  
• I have never been happier to see Civilization on stream
  ㄴ For real
  

[Miro’s first reaction to the chat]

(Clip)

‘Wow~’ <— lmao what a response

• LOL
  
• She’s actually surprised
  ㄴ Yeah, seeing that chat, anyone would be
  
• This girl is something else
  
• She really just doesn’t care
  

[Miro’s quotable line of the day]

(Clip)

‘You’re controlling the viewers’ emotions right now.’

• She’s actually giving Eunha advice on how to handle chat lmao
  
• LOL
  
• Classic Miro
  
• She’s just having fun with this chaos
  ㄴ Yeah
  ㄴ Nothing fazes her, huh?
  

[Miro is really built different]

• Even with chat in shambles, she’s calmly installing Civilization
  
• That’s just how she is
  
• The way she’s reassuring Eunha is kind of impressive
  ㄴ She’s only 22, right?
  ㄴ The legend, Miro
  

[Wait, is Heavenly Realm just a bunch of Japanophiles?]

(Seo Eunha picking Japan in-game)

• First Miro, now her? This whole group loves Japan
  
• LMAO
  
• Did you not see the World Cup earlier? Eunha is obsessed with Japan
  ㄴ If she could speak Japanese, she’d probably be a JP VTuber
  

[If you’re enjoying this chaos, hit like lol]

• The people who came to troll are just confused now
  
• LOL
  
• Did Miro get sponsored by Civilization or something?
  

[Honestly, I’m impressed]

• The chat is a disaster, but they’re still arguing about game mechanics
  
• Seriously
  
• Hot take: Picking Settlers first was the right move
  ㄴ But Scouts aren’t a bad choice either
  

[These trolls are hilarious]

• They came to ruin the stream, but now they’re debating game strategy
  
• LMAO
  
• They’ve been converted
  

[Okay, I came here to troll Miro’s stream, but…]

• Why is it actually fun?
  
• The avatar looks super anime, but her voice and humor are great
  
• lmao get out of here, don’t become a fan now
  
• I was here to mess around, but I ended up following the stream
  
• Who’s Miro? I seriously don’t know
  ㄴ The one playing the game
  ㄴ Oh, so the other one is the collab partner?
  ㄴ Yeah
  

[Anna really is on another level]

• Miro’s holding her ground even with all these trolls, so it makes me respect Anna even more
  
• For real…
  
• Are you back again?
  
• Just the GOAT…
  

[If today’s collab was a solid watch, hit like]

• The pacing was great
  
• Even had a mid-stream crisis lol
  

[Who’s joining in to mess with Miro’s solo stream tomorrow?]

• Time to troll lolol
  
• LOL
  
• Dude, get out of here
  ㄴ Too late, I’m already invested
  

[First time watching Miro’s stream]

• Does she play Civilization all the time? Be honest, this game is kinda boring
  
• Yeah, just leave then
  ㄴ How does she keep so many viewers?
  ㄴ Her fanbase is rock solid lol, even if she doesn’t stream, they stay
  ㄴ For real
  

[Meanwhile, Slim Gold’s album ranking]

(Chart Screenshot)

• Slim Gold just swept the charts lol
  
• What the hell?
  ㄴ It’s all in a row
  ㄴ Well, the songs are really good
  
• Where’s Miro’s feature?
  ㄴ Somewhere in the middle of the album
  ㄴ Still ranked super high though
  

[I grabbed Miro’s latest Instagram photo]

(Photo of Do Hyun-kang’s group)

• She covered her face this time
  
• Even with her face covered, you can tell she’s pretty
  ㄴ She can hide all she wants, but her small hands give it away
  
• Is she starting to care about all the photos floating around online?
  ㄴ Probably?
  ㄴ Would Miro care about that?
  ㄴ Even she wouldn’t want her face everywhere lol
  

With the community fires raging, something unexpected happened the next day.

[Miro’s break announcement, what the hell?]

(Screenshot of Announcement)

• I was waiting for her stream, damn it
  
• Ah…
  
• We’re screwed
  
• Miro’s taking a break?
  ㄴ Yeah
  ㄴ No way, man
  
• Please, come back…
  

Hyunsoo’s album release turned everything upside down.

Even more than I expected.

His last album did well, but this time, his popularity had skyrocketed, and his promotional efforts paid off. This album was a massive hit.

[Uh… Miro, are you okay?]

“I’m fine. It’s whatever.”

Even Manager Lee was worried, which meant the aftershocks had reached me, too. But honestly, I didn’t think it was a big deal.

The bigger the spotlight, the bigger the backlash—it’s just part of the deal.

Even now, if I check the forums, my name is everywhere.

I could stream, but honestly, not streaming seems like the better move.

That’s why, after my last break, I found myself taking another one.

“Are the other members okay?”

[They’re fine… Actually, they’re enjoying the extra exposure.]

“Good, then.”

Still, my visibility shot up like crazy.

At this rate, I’m single-handedly raising Heavenly Realm’s brand.

Should I ask for a promotion?

Maybe I should start buying stock.

Wait—why didn’t I think of this before?

If I’m boosting this company, I should be profiting too.

“Manager, does our company have stocks?”

[Of course.]

“Should I buy some?”

[You haven’t already? I went all-in.]

“…You what?”

And just like that, I found a new way to have fun.

“Oh, I just had a great idea.”

[…That worries me. What is it?]

“What if I start a controversy and tank the stock price? Like, a political statement or something?”

[…Please. I’m trying to buy a house.]

“Haha, I’m kidding.”

He sounded way too serious.

[That better be a joke.]

“But what if it wasn’t?”

[…I’m begging you.]

“Relax, it’s a joke.”

He was way too sensitive about stocks.

Still, I had things to do.

[Got any plans during the break?]

“Of course.”

[You sure?]

“Hey, don’t underestimate me.”

I was already on my way to my next move.

“Just wait. You’re going to hear some big news soon.”

[…What?]

“Anyway, take care!”

Click.

With that, I shoved my cold hands into my pockets and picked up my pace.

The air was freezing.

Should’ve brought gloves.

But whatever.

I was almost there.
