Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 184

“Miro has been through a lot…” 

The manager’s first words were filled with anxiety.

What on earth is he about to say?

– Miro’s nervous, lol

– Look at his shaking legs, haha

– Miro/controversy

Naturally, my legs couldn’t stop shaking.

The things I had said to the manager were replaying in my mind.

What was the most recent thing I said?

If the company goes bankrupt, will you run away with the members? Should we do interviews to join?

Something about stocks being expensive, so you were going to make political statements to drop the price?

Ugh…

I said some stuff I shouldn’t have.

Of course, I didn’t think the manager would expose any of that, but you never know.

On top of that, thinking about the countless things I couldn’t even remember made me so nervous.

“Okay, wait!”

So I had to stop for a moment.

“Yes?”

“If I say anything, I will expose it too.”

“Wha??”

Wait, did I just say everything to the manager?

Didn’t we talk together?

– Hahaha

– Damn

– What did you even say? Haha

– Reverse expose, lol

“What do you mean…”

This was unexpected, and I could see the manager was flustered.

Yeah, I bet there was no reverse expose in the script.

The planning department probably thought we would be flustered, with the viewers just laughing.

But even a mouse will bite when it’s cornered.

So, would the virtual YouTubers not do it?

“W-What did I say?”

The manager was confused, and I smirked.

“Are you sure?”

Honestly, I didn’t have anything in mind.

Or more precisely, I couldn’t even remember what the manager had said.

But if I can’t remember everything I said, how could the manager possibly remember?

Given everything that happened, maybe the manager was wondering too.

Our eyes met for a moment.

Looking into each other’s eyes, it was as if I could see what the manager wanted to say.

Is this what they call a bond? Or something like that?

“Are you really going to do this?”

“Scared?”

The look in the manager’s eyes had nothing to do with any kind of bond, though.

After a short exchange, the manager spoke.

“…Actually, Miro is the member I rely on the most.”

“Haha, is that right? I see.”

– Me

– Hahahahaha

– LOL

– Damn, haha

In the end, we had no choice but to settle this dramatically.

“Woo!”

“Fake! Fake!”

The members, who had forgotten it was their turn next, booed, but there was nothing we could do.

I’m a thief, so I’m bound to get caught.

“Usually, you say ‘awkward’ things, but still…”

“Awkward things? Like what?”

“Oh, you can’t interrupt the manager, Dayo.”

“A-Actually, I was curious.”

– Seriously…

– I’m curious too.

– Just say it already, haha

“Awkward things? Well… about the company…”

“Then I guess what I heard…”

“…It’s a joke. But I really do rely on you…”

– Hahaha

– What are these two doing?

– Cringe

– Reveal the truth, haha

After that, the manager’s words weren’t so much an expose, but more like compliments.

This is what a proper reveal should be.

The good deeds done behind the scenes are finally being revealed… what a touching content.

“Oh, you didn’t have to flatter me that much.”

– You told him to!

– Damn

– Celestial Realm, reveal the truth!

– Miro/controversy

But to be honest, even if I kind of blackmailed him, the compliments the manager gave were all true.

And on the 1st anniversary, instead of exposing things, it’s The Six’s fault for planning such a thing.

“Anyway, let’s wrap this up and move on to the next.”

“Yeah, it’s Roa’s turn now.”

– What do you mean wrap it up, damn

– Please, send Miro down the rabbit hole…

– Reveal (just kidding)

– Roa… Should go down the rabbit hole, right?

“Wait, I’ll do a reverse expose too.”

Just as Roa had been saying “reveal the truth” earlier, she made the same decision when it was her turn.

“…Now, there are no exceptions.”

However, unlike when it was my turn, the manager cut her off sharply.

I guess the manager was more composed when talking to the other members, huh?

Since I was the one throwing out the insults, the manager just went along with it.

“Oh…”

So now, unlike me, threats wouldn’t work on Roa, and she had no choice but to face her own expose.

“First, Roa…”

“Ahhh!”

And thus, the real expose content began.

—

After the expose, we had a short break.

“Aah…”

“My life is over.”

“I’m not going to the cafe tomorrow…”

From Roa to Anna, each member who had their embarrassing stories exposed slumped into their chairs, exhausted.

But, honestly, it wasn’t even that big of a deal. Why was everyone overreacting?

“Cheer up, it wasn’t that bad.”

“Miro, shut up.”

“What kind of line were you planning, Miro?”

“Well…”

I thought I’d have to tone it down, but maybe it was weaker than I thought?

I should’ve just gotten some playful teasing instead.

“I didn’t think it would be anything too big.”

“Liar, what were you thinking? Tell me.”

“Well, just listen for a sec.”

If she wanted to, I could tell her.

With a little hand gesture, Anna, full of curiosity, couldn’t resist and came over to listen closely.

“Well, it’s…”

I whispered to her what I had been secretly worried about…

“What? What did you say?”

Anna’s eyes went wide, and she took a step back.

“Miro.”

“Yes?”

“We need some distance…”

“Uh.”

Is it that bad?

“I was just joking.”

“That’s scary, I have something like that too.”

She has something like that too?

Anna must’ve bought shares in The Six as well.

It’s hard to resist buying stocks when the company is investing.

Especially since it’s been growing lately.

“When did you buy them?”

“Me? Oh, not long ago.”

…Not long ago?

By her expression, it seems like she bought them pretty early on.

Maybe she’s a major shareholder.

“Take care.”

“…Don’t.”

Anyway, after a short break, we were signaled to start the broadcast again.

The break was longer than I expected. Was there something else they needed to prepare?

More than that, I was wondering what we were going to do next.

We had already done a lengthy Q&A, followed by the manager’s expose show.

A lot of time had passed already.

Honestly, we could’ve just wrapped up without the break.

Special broadcasts don’t usually last that long.

Unlike personal streams where viewers can just relax, special broadcasts need to be shorter to keep both the audience and us from getting tired.

And so, after the broadcast resumed, I sat properly, and the manager moved forward to signal the members to face the camera.

“Okay, could you all line up?”

Line up? What’s going on?

I was a bit confused, having been sitting comfortably before this, but I obeyed and stood in line.

Then, our 3D avatars, recognizing our movements, lined up on the monitor.

Seeing them like this, the characters are starting to feel familiar.

Come to think of it, this is the second time the viewers have seen this avatar instead of my real face, right?

…Well, I’m sure they’ve already searched for my real face by now.

Still, compared to the second generation, it might have been less polished, but I thought the quality when The Six gave it to me back then was pretty high.

At least, it was much better than the avatar I bought with my own money.

Seeing them all in full-body motion on the live monitor was surprisingly cool.

Whoosh—

When I waved my arms, Miro’s avatar waved along with me.

– What’s Miro doing?

– Cute haha

– The lineup looks kind of majestic

I raised my feet slightly, and the avatar mimicked my movement.

The technological advances are incredible.

I heard in the past, you’d have to wear full-body suits for this kind of thing.

It would’ve been funny if everyone was wearing full-body suits for the broadcast.

As I imagined the members in those suits, the manager fiddled with something and approached, saying:

“Now, take your poses.”

“Poses?”

“Just do what feels comfortable.”

I was caught off guard by the sudden request.

Poses? What should I do?

“Hurry up.”

Hurry up?

“P-Poses?”

“W-What about this?”

The members, still confused, each struck a pose in a very awkward manner.

– What are they doing? Hahaha

– So cringy

– Look at them creaking

Well, we hadn’t been told about this in advance.

It’s hard to come up with a pose when you’re asked out of nowhere.

There’s no official pose for Celestial Realm, either.

As we awkwardly held our poses, something strange started happening.

“Uh, what’s this?”

“What’s going on?”

The characters on the monitor began to shine.

Is this some kind of transformation?

Wait, hold on.

I instinctively realized what was happening.

This is important!

While the other members stood frozen in their awkward poses, I just relaxed and stood straight.

These damn The Six people…

They worked hard to create this, only to surprise us with a stealth reveal?

And to make us hold awkward poses beforehand?

Couldn’t they have revealed it earlier?

As those thoughts crossed my mind, light started emanating from the members’ bodies.

And soon, the light spread from their toes, revealing the transformation.
