Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 167

“Whoo, how was that?”  

– Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!  

– Damn, haha  

– Say what you will, but she can really sing…  

The first song ended.  

Singing on stream after such a long time felt great.  

There are a few reasons why I suddenly decided to do a singing stream today.  

Of course, part of it is to celebrate my return from break, but mainly… I couldn’t get something Woo-hyun said during the MV shoot out of my head.  

Had I been neglecting my vocal practice a bit?  

So today, I figured I’d use this as a practice session while also singing songs my viewers enjoy.  

A win-win situation for both the streamer and the audience.  

“Alright, next song on the list.”  

Since this is for practice, I’ve pre-selected some songs in advance.  

“Do you all know this one?”  

– Is that an English song?  

– Whoa…  

– I can’t read English…  

– Oh, this one’s good.  

There are other songs too, but I focused on pop songs for now.  

After all, Turning Point has a pop-like vibe, doesn’t it?  

Since I can’t sing Turning Point on stream yet, I might as well pick something with a similar feel.  

“It’s a great song. Give it a listen.”  

And so, I went on to sing a selection of pop songs that I felt had a similar atmosphere.  

– Whoa  

– Her English pronunciation is pretty solid  

– Pop songs suit her really well  

The response was positive.  

Even if my practice was lacking, I’ve still put in enough work up to now.  

It’s not like my viewers are professional critics—I can at least meet their standards.  

“Sounds good, right? I know.”  

– ;;  

– It would’ve been better if she didn’t say that.  

– Sigh…

“Miro, your singing is amazing! Haha—oh wait, I meant Mirr—oops, typo.”  

“Oh, oops, I accidentally banned them.”  

– Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.  

– Everyone, take notes, haha.  

– Honestly, did you really think that username was subtle?  

“I have no idea what you’re all talking about. Shall we move on to the next song?”  

– Yeah, yeah, let’s do that.  

– Just don’t delete the song list…  

– You’re singing all night, right?  

“All night? Hmm… I’ll see how it goes.”  

– Whoa  

– For real??  

– We’ll behave…  

Singing all night, huh…?  

Honestly, I think I could pull it off.  

Even Woo-hyun acknowledges that my vocal cords are practically made of steel.  

Of course, I’d probably get sleepy and go to bed before then.  

A proper streamer like me follows a healthy sleep schedule.  

And so, I continued filling up the list with songs.  

Not just pop songs, but also tracks I personally liked or had been wanting to sing at karaoke.  

– Today’s stream is stacked.  

– She really is good, though.  

– No wonder she gets featured on tracks.  

– The Legendary Miro.  

– Is there a special occasion today?  

“Special occasion? It’s my return stream! Let’s have a drink.”  

– Cheers!  

– The hype is real, haha.  

– She said she’s singing all night, guys.  

– You have to outlast your junior.  

“My junior? Who’s streaming right now?”  

– Gaeun is live.  

– Yeah, she started before you did.  

“Wow, streaming this late?”  

It’s already past midnight.  

– She usually streams this late.  

– Gaeun’s streams go on forever.  

“Oh, really?”  

I hadn’t been watching much during my break, so I didn’t know.  

Streaming this late into the night… what a dedicated junior.  

“Let’s take a break and check it out, shall we?”  

No way I can ignore this.  

– Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.  

– Here comes the content leeching, haha.  

– You’re in the middle of your own stream, though…  

– Let’s go mess with her!  

“Hey, don’t say weird stuff.”  

Anyone listening would think I’m going to assert dominance or something.  

I’m just checking in on a hardworking junior in the dead of night.  

That’s all.  

I opened Twitch, and right at the top was her stream.  

Is this my first time tuning into one of Gaeun’s streams since her debut?  

She’s not a junior that stands out in my memory too much.  

Just someone who was on the same *Minecraft* team as Anna, I think?  

I vaguely remember Anna complimenting her in the group chat once or twice.  

But I rarely read the Heavenly Realm first-gen chat since there are way too many messages.  

I clicked on her stream and saw a game screen.  

“What game is this?”  

– Oh, this takes me back.  

– It’s a farming sim.  

– This game is actually fun.  

Gaeun was using a forklift to move logs.  

A rural farming simulation?  

Fits her nature-loving aesthetic pretty well.  

[“Oh? Miro-senpai, you’re here?”]  

I was just watching quietly, but some viewers in chat called me out, and Gaeun noticed.  

Darn, I was trying to lurk unnoticed.  

[“Weren’t you on break? Oh, right, today’s your return.”]  

“Oh, wow, a junior who doesn’t even know her senpai’s return date?”  

– Oof, kinda disrespectful.  

– Master’s orders.  

– Should we handle this?  

“Hey, don’t you dare. Don’t go wrecking someone else’s stream.”  

If my viewers all rush in at once, that’s basically a disaster for her.  

I need to stop them.  

Anyway, since she noticed me, I sent a quick greeting in chat.  

(Miro) – Nice to see you.  

[“Oh, it’s nice to see you too!”]  

Hmm, she has a nice voice.  

Soft and warm—would be great for a radio show.  

I kept chatting.  

(Miro) – Are you playing a sim game?  

[“That’s right. I really like these kinds of games.”]  

Oh?  

“A junior who likes simulation games? Should I recommend one of my favorites?”  

– No, no.  

– Please, don’t.  

– Does it have strategy in the title?  

“Of course! Strategy is the heart of simulation!”  

– ???  

– ?  

– That’s your opinion…  

– Please don’t do this…  

[(EunhaFan, 1,000 KRW donation)]  

“Miro, thanks to you, Eunha’s been playing some weird game lately.”  

“What game is she playing?”  

– Civilization, damn it.  

– She’s been grinding it nonstop since she didn’t finish last time.  

“Oh, she’s still playing that?”  

– Yeah.  

– You didn’t know?  

– Dude, how could you not know?  

Hey, I can’t keep track of everything.  

I don’t watch many streams.  

Still, she must be pretty competitive to keep playing like that.  

“Good to see her working hard. Maybe we should do a multiplayer match sometime?”  

– Nooo, stop.  

– Please, no.  

– Unpopular opinion: that actually sounds fun.  

“I’m thinking of setting up a four-player match.”  

Me, Eunha, Haeil, and now Gaeun.  

That’s already four, isn’t it?  

– ???  

– Why four?  

– Excuse me??  

– No, stop.  

“Come on, don’t call it a ‘curse’…”  

Anyway, Gaeun’s been streaming for quite a while.  

I checked the timestamp—four hours already.  

When is she planning to stop?  

Might as well ask.  

(Miro) – Hey, Gaeun.  

[“Yes?”]  

(Miro) – When do you plan to end the stream?  

[“Uh…”]  

Did I phrase that too vaguely?  

Well, she should have a goal, right?  

Most sim games take too long to finish in one sitting, so players usually set a stopping point in advance.  

[“Hmm… I don’t know yet…”]  

“Oh, that’s not good.”  

So she didn’t plan ahead?  

[“Maybe I’ll just stream all night? Haha.”]  

“Hoooh, you’ve got guts.”  

– Haha, legendary.  

– This is real endurance.  

– Miro, take notes.  

Damn.  

A true rookie’s enthusiasm.  

I can’t let myself be outdone as a senior, can I?  

“Then I guess I’ll stay live until she ends her stream.”  

…And that was the start of my biggest mistake.
