Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 32

[Miro’s Cuteness Clip Extracted]

(A video of Miro using a nasal voice to receive 50,000 won)

ᅩᅮᅣ…

-Ha… I’m a bad Mirodan…

-But her voice is amazing ᄋᄋ

-Is this the happiness of 50,000 won?

___________

[But why did Miro suddenly start playing the guitar?]

She goes to vocal lessons, draws, and streams, but why did she start the guitar too?

-Don’t ask Miro for reasons

-Info: Miro dropped out of school around the start of the auditions

ᄂ Did she do it after she passed?

ᄂᄂᄂ She just decided to drop out and stream

ᄂᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ Sounds like Miro

-Seems like she’s trying everything she wants to do ᄋᄋ

-At Miro’s age, she can start anything

___________

[Miro’s Live Pledge]

“If I can’t play a song in a month, I’ll stream for 24 hours”

Can she do this?

-Usually, one song in a month is no problem ᄋᄋ..

ᄂ But doesn’t Miro have a lot to do?

ᄂ Last collaboration, it seemed like she had a lot of time

-I really hope she does the 24-hour stream because her 2-3 hour streams leave us wanting more

-24 hours is like half a month’s worth of Miro’s streams ᄏᄏᄏ

___________

[Who provoked Miro?]

She ends the stream after strumming the guitar all day ;;

Guitar era’s gone crazy;

-ᄅᄋ She’s only playing the guitar

-I miss when she only did World Cups

-Now she’s planning to play the guitar for a month..

ᄂᄅᄋ?

ᄂ Miro would definitely do that ᄋᄋ;;

ᄂIsn’t she worried about losing viewers?

ᄂ Does she care about viewers?

ᄂ It’s gone crazy;

___________

[Miro’s Problems]

She’s too young

Because she’s young, she does whatever she wants and doesn’t worry about the future

Look at Anna and Milyee, you can tell they are burning their last prime of life working hard on their streams

But Haru, Roa, Miro <- the younger line streams for short times and takes frequent breaks, they are young so they are full of energy for new starts even if they fail

As for Maho… just leave

-Why does Maho have to leave, you idiot

ᄂ Don’t mess with Miro…

ᄂ This guy is a Mahoski;

ᄂ What’s a Mahoski?

ᄂ It’s Maho’s fan name like Mahoski

ᄂ But why is it Maho fan?

ᄂ Go search it yourself, you moron

-Miro doesn’t take breaks often, the problem is her short stream times

ᄂ Instead, Haru and Roa take breaks often..

ᄂ They said they’re busy

ᄂ Is Anna and Milyee not busy hence the frequent streams?

ᄂ Do you believe they’re busy? It’s just an excuse ᄏᄏ they’re just meeting boyfriends

_______________

[Who’s the leader of the Celestial Project?]

(Anna profile picture)

(Miro profile picture)

Miro is the leader, thumbs up VS No, Anna is the leader, thumbs down

-Downvote bomb, hahaha

-Haven’t you seen Anna leading? It’s obvious Anna is the leader.

ㄴ But Miro has the most viewers?

ㄴ That’s because during collabs the members split the views, but Anna has the highest viewers for solo streams.

-Miro is only popular here on this forum, hahaha

ㄴ Miro also has quite a fandom.

-Can you compare an almost 30-year-old to a fresh 21-year-old Miro? Compare properly.

ㄴ Miro is also a Korean woman, you idiot.

ㄴ But Miro is a virgin;

ㄴ How do you know? hahaha

ㄴ She’s a hardcore otaku who stays home reading comics and drawing, where would she find time to date?

ㄴ (What you believe is your truth, lol)

-Shut up, Miro is the main here.

ㄴ For someone who’s supposedly the main, she has more downvotes.

_____________

[Do you even know this while posting here?]

(Celestial Project 2nd generation recruitment notice)

Recruiting for 2nd generation, hahaha

-How long has it been since 2nd generation;

ㄴ They’re recruiting secretly, not right away.

-I’ll apply too.

ㄴ Are you a girl?

ㄴ I’m a guy.

[People getting screwed in real-time…jpg]

(Haru’s basic profile picture)

(Loa’s basic profile picture)

(Miro’s basic profile picture)

Immediately replaced by the ‘Ha Hyun Trio’ in The Six.” <- Expected to be ditched like garbage when substitutes are picked, hahaha

-Miro in Ha Hyun? hahaha

-You moron, you’ll get assassinated by Ryuko.

ㄴLoa viewers are brainwashed.

-(Fact) They are the top 3 purely for fun.

ㄴ If it’s purely for fun, replace Loa with Milyee.

-Isn’t it more likely that Anna or Maho will be replaced? Honestly, do they have any strengths?

ㄴ What did you say, you bastard.

ㄴ hahaha, triggered this guy.

Today, I met with Hyejung after a long time.

We hadn’t been able to meet because our schedules didn’t match, but now that her semester is over and she has more free time, we decided to meet.

We booked a movie and to kill time, we sat at a café and chatted. During our conversation, Hyejung showed me her phone screen.

“Oh, right, this is you, right?”

The screen showed a post.

“What? All of a sudden?”

It seemed like a community post reposted on SNS, and apparently, it was related to me.

Is it about Miro? I thought, but the title showed it was about something else.

[Korean illustrator acknowledged by famous Japanese manga artist controversy]

“What’s this?”

The title, filled with provocative words as expected from the writings, gave me a headache just by looking at it.

“This seems to be about you?”

“No way…”

Even though I said that, I was certain as soon as I saw the title. I knew it was related to me.

“Wait a moment.”

With that, I asked for permission and started reading the article.

[Sato Jun, a famous Japanese manga artist and the creator of the manga “Samurai Ito,” which is being adapted into an anime, shared and praised a drawing, garnering worldwide attention from fans…]

[Surprisingly, the artist of the drawing is a Korean illustrator.]

[Moreover, after a brief hiatus, the illustrator posted a work in a style completely different from their usual drawings, which became even more of a hot topic…]

[However, as the illustrator’s usual behavior was revealed, it sparked controversy in the community.]

[Below is a collection of this illustrator’s typical behavior, compiled by the author.]

The article ended there, followed by screenshots capturing instances of a female named Kim Suhyun verbally lashing out at those who criticized her drawings.

“This is…”

I was at a loss for words at the sight of the crude language, even I felt my brows furrow involuntarily.

“Huh… Kim Suhyun, who doesn’t usually curse, was spewing such words online?”

“But… they started it.”

“Yeah, but if you look at the comments, public opinion seems pretty favorable.”

“Favorable?”

“Yeah, the people you swore at and hit back with harsh words weren’t exactly normal either. So, some people found it satisfying.”

Indeed, the comment section Hyejung showed me had a relatively favorable opinion.

There were some comments criticizing the harsh language, but many others found it satisfying because the other party started it.

“Not as bad as I thought?”

“Right? Anyway, I was surprised. You always send me your drawings, and I found someone drawing in a similar style. When I saw the nickname, I knew it was you.”

“Oh, I see…”

“ksh is obviously Kim Suhyun. What’s the number at the end?”

“It’s just random.”

“That’s so you. So what happened?”

“Just as it says, I posted a drawing, and the manga artist shared it.”

“Wow, you must have gained a lot of followers. How many now?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t checked in a while.”

“Check it out.”

“Should I?”

I turned on my phone and logged into the bluebird app for the first time in a while.

After scrolling past the piled-up notifications, I checked the follower count, which had significantly increased.

“It’s about this much.”

“Wow, that’s a lot. But not as much as I thought.”

“Yeah, it’s just one shared drawing.”

The number had clearly increased from before, but it wasn’t an overwhelming amount.

“Are you not posting drawings here anymore?”

“I think I’ll start posting again now that things have calmed down a bit.”

“By the way, don’t you get requests for drawings? Paid ones.”

“I used to get those too. Now, even more.”

“How much do you charge per piece?”

“I usually just do simple ones, just for pocket money.”

“Really? So you don’t do it anymore?”

“I don’t know. Maybe I’ll do it as a hobby when I have more time.”

Honestly, I could do it right now, but I don’t feel like it. It’s not like I’m in dire need of money.

“Let me know when you do, I might commission you too.”

“You? Why?”

Does Hyejung even have anything to commission? She doesn’t even read comics, she’s a real socialite.

“For an anniversary with my boyfriend. I’d like to print one and share it with him.”

“Oh, for something like that, I’ll do it for free.”

“No, it’s okay. Besides, it’s still a bit far off.”

“Alright then.”

As she spoke, she was about to turn off her phone when she suddenly remembered the song ‘Wonderland’ she had been listening to before coming to the cafe.

“Oh, right. This is a song I’ve been listening to lately. Want to give it a try?”

“What is it?”

“Hold on.”

I had planned to play it for her once the album was released, but since we met anyway, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to let her listen to it now.

Although it’s an unreleased track, Hyunsu said it was fine to let family or close friends listen, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

“Here, I’ll give you my earphones. Give it a listen.”

Since I couldn’t give away the music file, I handed over my wireless earphones connected to my phone to Hyejung.

“What’s the occasion? You recommending a song?”

“Just because my phone was on.”

I brushed off Hyejung’s slightly suspicious remark and waited for her to put on the earphones I handed over before playing the song.

“Oh… I like this kind of music.”

It seemed Hyejung liked the intro as she immediately said that and began to focus on listening. I waited leisurely, fiddling with my phone until she finished listening.

After a short while, the song ended. Hyejung nodded and handed back the wireless earphones to me.

“The song is definitely good. What’s the title? I’ve never heard this voice before.”

“Really?”

Judging by her reaction, she didn’t realize the female vocalist featured in the middle was me.

“Yeah, you know I listen to a lot of music. But this is the first time I’m hearing this. If it’s this good, it should be famous.”

Since Hyejung was in a department that danced a lot, she knew a lot of songs, so she took an interest in a song she was hearing for the first time.

However, this song isn’t released yet.

Even if I told her the title, she wouldn’t be able to find it. I shook my head and teased her playfully.

“Not going to tell you.”

“What? Then why did you let me listen?”

“Try finding it when you have time.”

“What? That’s absurd. By the way, the song was really good. Who’s the female voice in the middle? Just tell me that.”

“Come on, if I tell you that, it’ll be too easy to find.”

“We’re not playing a song-finding game right now.”

“Never mind, isn’t it about time for the movie?”

“Oh! Right, we should get going.”

Hyejung tried to pry more, but I changed the subject right away.

It’s a skill useful for dealing with viewers, but it works well with people too.

Satisfied with the feedback on the song, I watched the new movie with Hyejung.

On my way home after a satisfying day with Hyejung, I informed Hyunsu about letting her listen to ‘Wonderland.’

(Hyunsu): You let your friend listen? How was it?

(Me): She said it was good. She kept asking for the title persistently.

(Hyunsu): Really? I’m glad she liked it.

(Hyunsoo): The album will be released soon, so let her know then.

(Me): Let me know as soon as it’s out. I’m curious about the other tracks too.

I’ve only heard ‘Wonderland’ and don’t know the other tracks included in the album.

Hyunsu had offered to let me listen when I visited the studio last time, but I refused. It’s no fun to hear it in advance. I enjoy the anticipation.

(Hyunsu): Yeah, the sound work is almost done. Just the album cover is left.

(Me): Album cover? What kind of design?

(Hyunsu): I’m thinking of commissioning an illustration with a fairytale-like vibe. Do you know any good illustrators? Isn’t illustration related to the VTuber scene too?

Related to illustrations? There might not be any among the Celestial Project members.

The company handles everything anyway.

But…

(Me): Really? Want me to recommend someone? I know someone good.

(Hyunsu): Sure? I’d appreciate any recommendations.

I know at least one person personally, not as VTuber Miro, but as Kim Suhyun.

(Me): Want to check out their work? Here’s the SNS account where they post their drawings.

(Hyunsu): Oh, really? I’ll check it out.

Half jokingly, half seriously, I gave Hyunsu my Bluebird account.

He replied five minutes late.

(Hyunsu): It’s good. Can you introduce me?

(Me): Sure, should I do it right away?

(Hyunsu): Yes.

(Me): Then I’ll send them to the studio tomorrow. Meet and talk there.

(Hyunsu): What? Suddenly?

(Me): Yes, what time should I send them tomorrow?

Although it was a bit sudden, the schedule was set for tomorrow.

I should bring my guitar as well.
