Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 17

The joint broadcast proceeded smoothly.

Honestly, among the viewers, there were almost no people expecting great skills from the Celestial Project participants, so naturally, it proceeded more like a chat show than a game broadcast.

[So, is this really your first time broadcasting?]

I nodded at the question from Hangal that came through the headset.

“Yes, this is my first time broadcasting, starting with this audition.”

[Then what made you decide to apply for the audition?]

“The reason? Well…”

I chewed over the question and recalled my memories.

The reason why female Kim Suhyun applied for this audition…

Its beginning lies in the memories before male Kim Suhyun was overlaid.

Female Kim Suhyun, who had a general interest in Japanese subculture, naturally preferred Japanese songs over Korean ones. As she listened to more songs, she naturally became aware of Japanese Vtubers.

It was inevitable that the otaku Kim Suhyun, who enjoyed listening to the unique and well-sung songs of the Japanese Vtubers, would fall for them. Not knowing Japanese, she started watching all the short clips with Korean subtitles on YouTube.

One day, while making use of her skills by drawing illustrations and watching broadcasts…

She found out about the annual super chat revenue of a Vtuber and coincidentally came across the Celestial Project and applied, creating her own narrative.

And she summarized that narrative to answer Hangal’s question.

“That’s how Miro was born.”

[Wow…]

The one who exclaimed was not Hangal, who asked the question, but Maho.

Hangal, who was in the midst of a firefight with the enemies, probably didn’t even hear half of my answer.

[Wow, that’s some drive! And you can draw too?]

Ah… I didn’t intend to mention the drawing, but it slipped out during the talk. Well, it doesn’t really matter as long as my female Kim Suhyun’s Blue Bird ID wasn’t revealed.

“I can draw enough to make it look like a person.”

This is probably how I would define my drawing skills right now.

In fact, since becoming female Kim Suhyun, I haven’t had the chance to draw with a pen.

However, since I still remember the proportions and coloring methods, it shouldn’t be a complete mess.

‘…Maybe I should practice drawing?’

Isn’t this also an appeal for a Vtuber?

Moreover, I have a unique starting point…

It might be something as fulfilling as singing.

As I was resolving to take out the high-end tablet of female Kim Suhyun buried in a drawer and start drawing once today’s broadcast ended, a male scream came through the headphones.

[Ack! I’m down! What is everyone doing??]

_____________

-kkkkkkkkkk

-No, the man is fighting with a gun and dying while the girls are having a tea party;;

-Lol, meanwhile, he got the last hit with a grenade and got one kill

-But Miro, she’s a real otaku

-I thought she had deep knowledge;;

____________

[By the way, which Japanese Vtuber did you like? I know some too.]

This was Maho’s question.

Among the members of the Celestial Project, she seems to know a lot about VTubers, as she possesses an otaku power comparable to that of a female Kim Suhyun.

“Me? I don’t have an oshi or anything like that. I just watch everything with subtitles.”

[Heeeh, really? You don’t have an oshi…]

__________

-What’s an oshi?

-I know Yoshi, but what the heck is oshi, kekeke

__________

“Oshi? In Korean, it means your favorite.”

__________

-Ohh

-My oshi is Anna.

-My oshi will be Loa.

__________

“Yeah, it doesn’t matter~ You can have multiple oshis, so feel free to support other members too.”

__________

[ᄋᄋ, Thank you for the 1,000 won donation!]

-If you say they’re your favorite, then how can you have multiple favorites??

__________

“Ah- when translated, ‘favorite’ is the closest meaning, so we call it that, but it’s a bit different. There isn’t an exact alternative.”

[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation!]

-I will switch my oshi starting today.

____________

“Oh, that’s a bit troublesome?”

___________

-What’s oshi-hen?

-Ha, it’s hard to keep up…

____________

“Oshi-hen means you will stop supporting your current oshi~ Just remember it as oshi cancellation.”

___________

-Please don’t explain things like this.

-Read other chats properly.

-I will cancel my oshi.

___________

[Are you talking to viewers?]

“Oh yes, they keep asking in the chat, so I explained.”

[Ah, I understand. It’s better to skim over it if it’s not important.]

“What can I do? They’re my viewers, and my channel is still small, so I can manage to answer.”

___________

-Kekekekeke

-Seriously, you’re making me curse, kekeke

-You sly fox, are you pretending in front of a guy?

___________

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

-I am canceling my oshi.

____________

“Oshi-hen? What kind of otaku talk is that… Please don’t use such words in my stream.”

__________

-Mikkiyahoo! Mikkiyahoo! Mikkiyahoo!

-Mihaha! Mihaha! Mihahahahaha! Mihaha! Mihaha! Mihahahahaha!

-This girl really needs to be taught a lesson.

-Ah, I feel like saying ‘oshi cancellation,’ kekeke

_________

[Miro seems to have good banter with her viewers.]

At that moment, Haru, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.

“Right, even though my viewers are cheeky, they have kind hearts.”

___________

-Ha..

-Stitch up your head, kekeke

-There she goes again

___________

I glanced at the chat and scoffed.

“Isn’t everyone being dishonest? Hangal, I used up all my 7th rounds, can you give me some?”

[What? I don’t have any either.]

“It’s a fully automatic weapon. There’s no way you don’t have any 7th rounds.”

[Uh? No, I only kept enough for myself.]

“Give me half. If we both shoot, it’s double the firepower.”

___________

-This girl’s audacity is truly top tier.

-Miro can shoot a bit, but isn’t she not at Hangal’s level?

-This brat got a few kills and now she’s all confident.

_________

[Hmm.. Well, you did shoot pretty well. I’ll give you half.]

“Are you seriously this generous?”

I was half-joking, but Hangal really gave me half of his 7th rounds.

“You really have a big heart, like a major YouTuber, right, viewers?”

__________

-Ugh… Jealous… Ugh… Jealous… Ugh… Jealous… Ugh… Jealous…

-You’re just a girl in the end… See, told you… You’re just a girl in the end… See, told you… You’re just a girl in the end… See, told you…

-Thanks for everything, Miro! Thanks for everything, Miro! Thanks for everything, Miro!

-Unsubscribing. Unsubscribing. Unsubscribing. Unsubscribing.

_________

“Ah.. They’re f**king again..”

[What?]

[Oh?! Watch your language!]

Seeing the chat go crazy, I accidentally said what I was thinking out loud.

When I swore, Maho and Haru, who were diligently scouting with scopes, were startled, and the chat started to scroll quickly.

_________

-Gasp

-What

-Gulp

-?!

-Uh

__________

“Ah.. I didn’t meant it to say it loud, but… sorry.”

Well, in times like this, a quick apology is the answer, as I knew from my 42 years of life experience, so I immediately bowed my head.

And it wasn’t the first time I had sworn. Didn’t I swear once thinking I failed before I passed the test? Honestly, even the viewers swear, calling each other names, right? They wouldn’t care if I swear or not.

[Uh, uh! Everyone, do you know how gentle Miro is?]

But at that moment, Maho, who was really surprised, started fussing in a different way to the viewers.

[When we passed and created a call room, Miro was so sweet, calling me unni~ unni~]

[Oh, right! You know I’m the first one she called unni, right?]

Even Haru hurriedly joined in on the awkward topic Maho had brought up.

“Not that much..”

[Wow~ I thought Miro was reckless from just watching the broadcast, but she’s really a gentle lamb?]

[Did you feel that way too, Maho?]

________

-They’re trying so hard to cover for Miro

-Miro, take care..

-So kind lol If it were me, I’d gossip and knock out competitors

__________

The viewers, noticing the forced change of topic, started laughing and chatting.

This scene will probably be clipped and uploaded to the community, right?

With a vulgar title like “The buddy covering for Miro.”

[Do you know? When Anna and I praised her for singing well, she was so flustered.]

[Oh right~ She was so flustered!]

“Do you have to reveal that much?”

_________

-Miro’s singing is meh lol

-Praise is bad lol Obviously mixed, wasn’t Anna just mocking her?

__________

(This message has been deleted.)

[Wow, did Miro really do that?]

Trying to stop the embarrassment, I attempted to close my mouth, but once Hangal showed interest, it was over.

Hangal was undoubtedly the leader of this four-man squad.

[Yes! When they praised a lot, She sang live for us? With the mic echo turned on.]

[Wow, honestly, she sing live really well!]

“You heard that? If anyone talks about autotuning or anything from now on, they will be kicked out.”

Since it’s come this far, I decided to just enjoy it too.

[We started with Miro singing, and then we all did a singing relay together?]

[They said Anna unnie recorded it, and if we play it on the first anniversary, we’ll cry?]

“Wait, that was being recorded?”

[Didn’t Miro hear? She asked if it was okay to record in the middle.]

When did that happen? I guess I just didn’t pay attention.

To be fair, it was a situation where five women were chattering.

“But there were a lot of real names mentioned.”

[Then we’ll have to reveal everything later if we want to.]

[Oh, Maho unnie, you know that’s a flag, right?]

Playing the recording on the first day our personal info gets revealed?

I know it’s a flag, but still, that’s romantic.

“Fine, if all our info gets revealed, we should play it at the consolation party.”

_______

-Cyber police ‘mobilize’-Shall we dig it up?

-Let’s go ᄏᄏ

________

“My personal info? Try digging it up, it’s all there.”

I said that, smiling as if to be heard, after seeing the viewers’ chat.

To be honest, personal info?

I don’t care if it’s dug up.

Even if it is, all they’ll find is the information of a pretty girl who went through elementary, middle, and high school without ever being involved in school violence, only drawing at home and watching cartoons and anime endlessly.

Seeing it this way, it’s really a manga-like setting.

A beautiful shut-in otaku… Maybe the female Kim Suhyun was the dream and hope of men?

[Haha…]

First of all, I should take care of the big YouTuber who seems at a loss in a situation that might be sensitive.

The host needs to be healthy for the leech to attach well.

Frankly speaking, we are mosquitoes. The mosquitoes raised by the company.

Our job is to suck from the tender skin of other streamers belonging to the company.

And if it’s that kind of work…

“Anyway, let’s go! We’re almost at first place!”

I’m confident I can do well.
