Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 538
Han Se-ryeong.
Currently, she is the youngest member of a popular girl idol group.
After becoming close during the previous drama filming where she played Sera, they have been like sisters.
And just as one can tell that the youngest idol is older than me.
The group that Han Se-ryeong belongs to is a veteran popular group with a full track record. They are more famous overseas these days rather than domestically.
But….
“What more should I do here? Just tell me!”
Why she is auditioning in front of me.
Is she a serious case like Kang Yun-sung when it comes to acting?
Well, that person was busy preparing for a comeback while also engaging in work.
Unfortunately, Kang Yun-sung only participated at the beginning of Season 2 of the credits.
After making a comeback at the end of last year, he entered his second prime and had the will to film more but left early.
Anyway, I watched Han Se-ryeong’s acting.
Since she is acting, I’m focused on watching her…
“We never said such a thing…”
It does seem like she’s improved more than before.
Even during the drama shooting, she was continuously getting better.
If she’s practiced since then, she naturally would have improved.
What’s the reaction from the others?
I subtly shifted my gaze to check the responses of other judges.
Lee Seok-hyun was watching the performance with a pleasant smile he usually has.
The writer was beaming with delight.
It must be nice to have a popular idol appear in a work.
As for the director… he was expressionless.
It’s hard to read his expression since he’s focused on the acting.
I shook myself back to reality and kept watching Han Se-ryeong’s performance.
She’s doing well.
Moreover, her visuals complement her performance.
It makes for a more pleasing sight.
…Indeed, the entertainment industry is all about looks.
While her acting might be somewhat overshadowed by her appearance, to me, there’s nothing to criticize.
“I’ve prepared this performance up to here! Thank you!”
“Yeah, I watched it well.”
After Han Se-ryeong’s performance ended.
“How did you find Soo-hyun?”
The writer asked me after Han Se-ryeong left.
“Pardon? Um, it was good.”
“Hmm? Another abstaining vote this time?”
“No, well…”
“Oh, you have a personal connection, right?”
“Yes, yes….”
“I know. You worked in my drama.”
Ah, come to think of it, the drama where I became close to Han Se-ryeong was indeed the writer’s drama.
“I thought Se-ryeong’s acting was really good. Oh, she’s improved a lot!”
After asking me first, the writer immediately sided with Han Se-ryeong.
It seems like she was quite pleased.
However….
“I think that person from earlier was better.”
“Oh, the one who was nervous?”
“Yes, her acting and face looked better suited for direction.”
“Hmm….”
Unlike the writer, the director picked the actress who had stuttered earlier.
That actress from earlier…
Well, this role might indeed fit better with her more ordinary looks than with the glamorous appearance of Han Se-ryeong.
“What’s your thought, Seok-hyun?”
Next, the writer asked for Lee Seok-hyun’s opinion.
So far, that’s one vote for, one against, and one abstention.
Naturally, my and the director’s gazes turned to Lee Seok-hyun.
“Are we deciding now? There are still other people left.”
However, it seemed Lee Seok-hyun wasn’t ready to speak up just yet.
“Yeah, as Seok-hyun said, we still have three more to see, so let’s wait and decide.”
“Well, that’s true.”
In response, the director responded flatly while the writer looked disappointed.
It seems the writer really wants to use Han Se-ryeong a lot.
Then why not send a casting request? Was there some circumstance?
Well, just like I did, the writer might not have known whether Han Se-ryeong was serious about acting.
In fact, Han Se-ryeong had seemed a bit overwhelmed during the last filming.
“Next person, please come in!”
Thus, I watched the acting of the other audition participants.
After that.
“Okay, how did it go?”
Holding the evaluation sheet from earlier, we began discussing the evaluations.
“I’m definitely going for Han Se-ryeong!”
The writer’s opinion was clear.
“I think the one who performed earlier, Lee Mi-young, was good too.”
The director pointed to the actress who had been nervous earlier.
“I… abstain.”
And I abstained.
I didn’t come to evaluate in the first place, and my evaluations had been inconsistent.
“What about you, Seok-hyun?”
Once again, attention turned to Lee Seok-hyun.
“Oh, I dislike this pressure.”
Lee Seok-hyun did not look particularly burdened.
“So then… it’s this person for me.”
He soon stated his pick.
Thus, the actor to take on this role was decided.
**
After the audition ended.
“Well then, I’ll take my leave!”
“Yeah, go rest.”
I went straight home.
I’m tired, so I need to rest well at home.
I even skipped the gym.
Lately, I’ve been casually taking it easy.
The weather’s starting to warm up, and I’ve gotten back to a somewhat normal routine.
Well, thinking about acting in a police role later, I know I’ll have to push myself.
But I’ll leave that to my future self.
That day, I went home and didn’t broadcast; I just slept well.
The next day, like usual, I got on the company vehicle early in the morning.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes, I feel very refreshed. How nice would it be if I could rest like this all the time?”
“Since we only have a morning schedule today, you’ll be able to rest more.”
“Pardon?”
“You didn’t know?”
Today was a day with only a morning schedule?
Oh, if I had known that, I would have happily streamed last night while hunting.
But it’s still a good sign.
I’m well-rested, and I’ll be full of energy. I just have to broadcast from the afternoon.
“Let’s go.”
Well, first, I need to finish the morning schedule.
So.
I clumsily handled the morning schedule.
“I’m going in.”
“Yes, rest well.”
I really finished the schedule just in the morning, had lunch, and came back home.
Once home, I quickly changed, petted Bok-sil in the living room, and then right into the soundproof booth.
And although it was a bit early, I turned on the broadcast.
-???
-What is this? Lol
-You abandoned us yesterday and came back early
Typically, it’s not a time for viewers to come; they came in with curiosity.
“Is everyone having a good weekend?”
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-No, I couldn’t have fun since you abandoned us yesterday…
-Are you going to broadcast a lot today??
“I turned on early, so I’ll make it a long one.”
Since I started the broadcast early, of course, I plan to go for a long time.
I saw earlier that tomorrow’s schedule isn’t too packed either.
-Wow, lol
-What a great Miro, lol
-This is Buhwang, lol
-But why didn’t you start with a game today?
“No, well, I wanted to check out the café for a change.”
These days, when I turn on the broadcast, I often just hunt until the end, right?
So with today’s afternoon broadcast, I planned to check out the café leisurely before hunting.
-???
-Miro isn’t hunting?
-Dude, your proficiency will drop
-How many enemy soldiers can you defeat at this time?
“We’ll catch them later.”
As a side note, enemy soldiers are the mobs that appear at the next hunting ground after orcs.
Both enemy soldiers and the captain appear.
The final boss was a general, but I thought about when to raid that.
Well, anyway.
“Let’s see what everyone is up to.”
Since exploring the café is like checking on the members’ current situations to me.
I sat back leisurely and entered the café.
Lately, I’ve only been hunting, and I’ve been busy, just deleting notifications from the group chat.
I looked into the café to see what broadcasts the other members had and what was happening….
[Anna’s Magic Legendary moment lol]
[Today’s Loa hunting record update..]
[Celestial Realm current server ranking]
[So is Miro’s mercenaries winning??]
[Comparative hunting speeds of 5th generation students lol]
“Wait.”
What is this? Am I seeing it wrong?
-HAHAHA
-Oh, lol
-They all seem to know each other
“Why is everything about the Celestial Realm server?”
The café was completely filled with discussions about the Celestial Realm server.
-That’s all we’ve been doing lately, yeah
-We also meet up there, lol
-There isn’t much else to play
-Other than that, what is there, lol
“…So it looks like you all really are focused on this.”
The members are just enjoying harvesting content.
Looking closer, it appeared they were not just hunting.
[Recent news on Maho’s cooking competition champion…]
[Why is Hwa-ryeon suddenly foraging herbs lol]
[Merchant <— this looks like total trash, kay upvote lol]
Cooking, herb gathering, trading, etc.
They seem to slowly be getting interested in other contents of the server.
That hunting ground does seem too hard, in my opinion.
You need to bring all the mercenaries to hunt somewhat decently.
Naturally, interest will be drawn to other content.
As I continued scrolling through the café posts.
[Summary of the 2nd Anna’s Snack Gathering]
A title that seemed entirely unrelated to the Celestial Realm server caught my attention.
“A snack gathering? What is this?”
-It's something Anna holds periodically, yeah
-Oh, that’s fun, lol
-You can share info there while having fun
“Really? If it’s the second time, was there a first one?”
-Yeah
-All the 1st generation students were there except you, lol
-You don’t know? You're literally the odd one out?
“Oh really...?”
Everyone went except for me?
Looking further, it looked like all the 1st generation students were gathered.
...Now that I think about it, I feel like I was invited too.
-HAHAHA
-You get alienated for always doing weird concepts, tsk tsk
-The alienated one is Mitya, lol
“Hey, I’m not alienated!”
What do they think of me?
Alienated? That word doesn’t suit Buhwang or Miro one bit.
[Thank you for the 1,000 won donation, ooo!]
Then will you go to the 3rd one today to prove it?
“Oh, is there a 3rd one today?”
-Yeah, it’s held every two days
-3rd and 4th generation students are coming today; is that okay??
-Let’s go and stir things up, yeah
“Hmmm.”
A snack gathering with 3rd and 4th generation students.
Sounds fun.
“Let’s check in and ask for permission.”
Will it be okay if I go?
Well, I can always ask.
“Let’s go take a look.”
And so.
I logged into the Celestial Realm server as usual.
