[Wow, the quality is insane.]
Damn lol It’s not just that they picked good characters.
What’s with this quality??
-For real, it’s insane lol
-Is this really the same The Six that used to be so cringe??
-It looks like they’ve fully partnered with a professional company.
-I wish the 1st gen had something like this too.
-Yeah, it’ll probably happen.
-Fact) Miro’s solo songs do better than group songs.
-Damn, Mirodan guys are overhyping her… or are they? I don’t even know anymore.
-For real, I don’t even know anymore lol
[Compilation of 1st gen reactions to the 2nd gen song]
(Compilation of 1st gen reactions)
Why is Anna crying? LOL
-For real.
-She’s so sensitive lol Let’s have a drink.
-Miro suddenly cursing out the company lol
-Well, Miro can get away with it lol
-For real, how much money has Miro brought to the company?
-Info) Miro takes most of the revenue from her songs.
-For real?
-She takes all the revenue from her original songs, and her Miro songs are even more profitable.
-Damn lol
[The 2nd gen kids are all crying lol]
Everywhere you go, they’re sobbing lol
-LOL
-For real, are they all crying?
-Yeah lol
-This is like an annual event lol
-The 1st gen didn’t have a single person crying though lol
-The dignity of a king ㄷㄷ
[But will it chart?]
Miro thinks it will, but I’m not sure.
-If Miro says it’ll chart, it’ll chart.
-Why?
-How many songs has she sent to the charts?
-Ah lol
[Miro’s got some serious swag.]
(Miro’s stream comment)
‘If the 2nd gen beats the 1st gen, next they’ll have to beat me.’
A team member greater than the team.
The belly button bigger than the belly.
Is it you again?
-The amazing thing is that it’s true…
-For real lol
-If Miro can’t beat it, upvote lol
-For real lol Can she?
–Tranquil Lake might be able to compete, though.
-That’s still mid-tier on the charts, what are you talking about lol
[Breaking news) 2nd gen’s new song enters the charts lol]
(Screenshot of the 2nd gen’s new song on the lower charts)
Let’s climb the charts lol
-For real? Insane lol
-Let’s go up lol
-This song really doesn’t seem like it’ll chart, though.
-What does a guy scratching his ass in his room know about judging songs lol
-For real lol
-Damn, Miro said it’ll chart, so let’s have a drink.
[Now The Six is on a different level.]
Even if the 1st gen was a fluke,
The fact that the 2nd gen also made it is significant.
Now it’s like a guarantee.
-It’s definitely suspicious lol
-The 3rd gen auditions are going to explode.
-Looking back, it’s amazing how Miro applied for the 1st gen and hit the jackpot…
-Jackpot?
-Miro worked the hardest, though lol
-For real lol She acts like she didn’t do much, but she’s done everything.
[Wow, the way it’s climbing is suspicious.]
Is it really going to surpass Miro’s Tranquil Lake?
-It’s been out for a few months, so it’s about time to be surpassed.
-Yeah, it’s about time to come down lol
-Now our Celestial Realm is ruled by the 2nd gen lol
-Well, Crossroads is still there lol
-That’s Miro’s song, damn it.
[Miro, step aside!!]
(Screenshot of the charts)
Damn, it’s stuck right behind.
-Nope lol
-How dare you try to surpass your senior lol
-Is it just one rank apart?
-Yeah lol
-Stop climbing lol
[Damn, if it weren’t for these two, the 2nd gen’s new song would’ve been in the top 30.]
(Screenshot of Slim Gold and Miro sitting side by side on a variety show)
These crazy bitches…
-For real, damn lol
-Miro’s one thing, but that guy next to her, damn.
-Please stop.
-Suddenly, it’s pissing me off..
[Looking back, Miro is amazing..]
We had to stream like crazy to barely get it on the charts, but what the hell is Miro?
-Miro’s fans also streamed like crazy, idiot lol
-For real?
-Yeah, they streamed Crossroads like crazy too.
-Then why is it only 50th this time??
-Because the firepower is pathetically weak lol
-Just ^a handful of fans^
-50th is still amazing, but these guys’ standards have gotten so high lol

“So, ads are coming in now?”
A few days after the 2nd gen’s song was released.
During a rare phone call with the manager, I was given some unexpected news.
[Yes, so I’ve brought a list.]
Along with that brief comment, I received an email with a list of ads, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit dumbfounded.
“Are all of these ads?”
Suddenly, this many ads are coming in?
Not long ago, there weren’t many big-name ads coming in.
Of course, it’s not like none came in, but most of them were ads that the company decided were better off not doing.
But now, there are this many ads that even the picky The Six has approved?
[We’re a bit surprised too… but I think it’s thanks to the 2nd gen.]
“The 2nd gen?”
[Yes, the 2nd gen’s song performance has been successful. It seems The Six is finally being recognized.]
“Ah, really?”
[The fact that they sent ads right away suggests they’ve been keeping an eye on us.]
Hmm… so.
Since VTubers are still somewhat unfamiliar in Korea, they must’ve been hesitant.
But now that both the 1st and 2nd gen have done well, they’ve gained some confidence.
It’s a bit annoying that they’re testing the waters, but that’s just how companies are, right?
Still, some of the ads look pretty appealing.
Of course, most of them are game ads.
Well, VTubers mostly just play games, after all.
“Mafia game? This looks fun.”
[Right, it would be fun as a collab.]
Since Mafia games can handle a lot of players now, it would be fun to gather all 12 members of the 1st and 2nd gen to play.
“Wow, the card game I played in elementary school is now a game? This ad looks appealing too.”
[You played card games in elementary school, Miro? Most girls didn’t.]
Well, it was back when I was a guy.
Girl Kim Suhyun played jacks in elementary school.
“…I played a little. I was interested in that kind of thing.”
[Well, if it’s you… Anyway, just pick a few from this list.]
“Do I have to pick?”
[Yes.]
Well, since I’m part of the company, I have to do what they say.
And I’ve heard that a lot of VTuber company revenue comes from ads, right?
Given how The Six spends money like water, getting this many ads is like a blessing in disguise.
With 12 members, even if each one does just one ad, the commission would be quite substantial.
Still, there are a lot of things worth trying…
“There are things we can do as collabs here, right?”
[Of course, we’ve thought about that. Like the Mafia game you mentioned earlier…]
“Hmm… then I’ll think about it a bit more.”
[Yes, take your time.]
Well, I don’t need to decide right away.
They probably sent this all at once so I could think about it slowly.
If it were urgent, the manager would’ve narrowed down a few candidates and sent them to me.
“By the way, is the preparation for that done?”
[Ah, the 1st anniversary of the Celestial Realm?]
“Yeah, it’s coming up soon.”
It’s already been a long time since I started streaming.
To the point where it’s almost been a year since I became a 1st gen member of the Celestial Realm project.
So, there’s a 1st anniversary stream planned.
Well, since we didn’t debut separately, it’s a good thing we’re doing it together, right?
If all six of us did separate 1st anniversary streams… the company would’ve had a headache.
[Of course, it’s done.]
“Really?”
[Yes, we’re planning to do a talk show or games together.]
“Sounds safe.”
[At the company studio.]
“Huh?”
[Since it’s a talk show, wouldn’t it be better to do it together? We’ve expanded the space, so we’re thinking of doing it there.]
What did they expand now? Where is all this money coming from?
“By the way, where is all the money coming from? You’re not borrowing it, are you?”
[No, we’ve received a lot of investment.]
Investment… I hope The Six doesn’t blow up like a bubble.
I don’t know much about management, but I can’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
“Um… it’ll be okay, right?”
[…Probably?]
Probably? Did you just say probably?
…I don’t know.
“If the company goes under, I’m taking all the members with me to another agency.”
[…Will you take me with you too?]
“Manager, you’ll have to apply and interview.”
[That’s too harsh.]
Too harsh, my foot.
From what I’ve seen, the manager is already quite close to the company’s power.
So if the company goes under, they’d be one of the responsible parties.
“Anyway, I’ll go prepare for the stream now.”
[Yes, please do well on today’s stream.]
With that, the call with the manager ended.
“Phew.”
Right after the call ended, I suddenly felt worried.
…Is the company really okay?
Should I sell the stocks I bought? They might turn into scraps.
Well, as always, the higher-ups probably have it all figured out.
More importantly…
I checked the text message that came during the call.
This guy, after sending a brief birthday message, this is the first contact since then.
[The movie trailer is coming out soon.]
Looking at the short message, similar to the birthday one, I sighed internally.
…It seems like there’s no time to rest.
“Sigh.”
Well, it’s all my karma.
I should pick a game for the ad.
