Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 593
I have taken on the training of the 5th generation students at the suggestion of the manager.
Well, it’s different from finding a red hat since it’s an online training, but training is still training.
Even though it’s online, I want to conduct the training with direct interaction, so I’m considering calling them over for some punishment, like a VTuber, using VR chat.
I’ve heard that they will record it and later release it as behind-the-scenes footage.
That’s why it’s even better for me to establish discipline packaged as a video for this WWE-themed session.
“Eh? Training for Soo-hyun’s juniors?”
Tenshi was shocked when I said I’d be training the juniors. Honestly, is it that surprising?
“Because there’s no better mentor than me.”
If someone needs to train the 5th generation students, is there anyone other than Buhwang who could do it?
Well, if I had declined the offer, Anna would probably have taken it on.
But Anna is too soft for that.
Only with a fiery heart and cold gaze like mine can I establish discipline among the trainees.
“But Soo-hyun.”
“Yes?”
“You know theory is important for teaching anything, right?”
“Theory? Uh….”
Is there even theory in being a VTuber?
As I had that thought, I looked at Tenshi, who sighed heavily.
“This, this, I should help you with this!”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m a special instructor! Please invite me when you’re giving lectures!”
For some reason, she suddenly made an unexpected suggestion…
It seems Tenshi wanted to train the juniors as well.
“Tenshi, you’re a competitor VTuber, so I need to ask for permission.”
“Competitor?”
“…I’ll ask if they’re VTubers from other companies.”
Yeah, they’re not really competitors… A large corporation and a corner shop don’t compete after all.
Still, it would be easier if Tenshi helps me out.
When I debuted, Tenshi was already a veteran VTuber from a big company.
Now, after some time has passed, she’s like the Madame of the VTuber scene.
I can’t even count with both hands and feet the number of younger VTubers under her.
…Thinking about that, it feels strange that she’s still sticking around here.
“Tenshi.”
“Yes?”
“But aren’t the juniors supposed to be looking for you?”
“Eh?”
“I meant to ask if it’s okay for you to stay in Korea.”
“Uh, uh… should we go back?”
Tenshi seemed to misunderstand my words and asked with a sad cat-like expression.
“That’s not what I meant. I was just wondering if it disrupts your work.”
Even though we’re broadcasting from my house, didn’t Tenshi originally have a lot of external work?
With advertisements and often going to the headquarters to record, she’s been in Korea for several weeks now.
“Uh… Actually, I do have to go….”
“Right?”
“Still, since I came all this way, I don’t want to leave….”
Her hesitant words made me laugh.
She’s not a child after all.
“You can always come back later.”
“Eh….”
“I won’t clean up your things, so feel free to go and come back.”
“Really?”
“Yes, yes, I won’t touch your computer either.”
Anyway, there won’t be anyone else staying in the guest room.
I’ll leave it for Tenshi.
“I understand! Oh, can I use the yoga mat?”
“…I don’t think that will happen.”
“Eh? You said you’d think about it.”
“Haha… Anyway, when are you going to leave?”
From what she said, it seems like Tenshi’s return is a settled matter, so I asked about the timing.
“Hmm… I’ll leave in a few days.”
“If all goes well, you might be able to see the training of the 5th generation students.”
“Yes! I’m looking forward to it!”
She seems eager to participate in the training of the 5th generation, so it would be perfect if she comes just to see that.
Well, the schedule hasn’t been finalized yet.
But since I have consent from everyone, it shouldn’t take long.
I think she’ll try to fit it into her schedule, and for me, the sooner the better.
Anyway, like that…
“Hah… then I guess I should start packing.”
“Already?”
“I’ve accumulated so much here during my stay….”
Tenshi, who had spent quite a long time at my house, started organizing her luggage to prepare to return to Japan.
I, on the other hand, tried to ignore the delivery boxes in the living room and prepared for the training of the 5th generation students.
“Map?”
“Yes, please find a training ground for me.”
Since I plan to train them in the metaverse, I told the manager to get the map.
Afterwards, I opened a notepad and started brainstorming what kind of training we’d have.
<Training List.>
“…Soo-hyun? Wasn’t this supposed to be training?”
Tenshi, who came to peek for a moment and was shocked to see my notepad, but I let it slide.
It’s not like VTubers are children.
Do you think it can be done with a soft training approach?
With Buhwang’s authority, this training will be replaced with a more intense session.
After that, I focused on organizing the schedule.
“I’m done packing!”
“I’m finished too.”
It wasn’t until dinner time when Tenshi finished packing that the schedule was complete.
“Ooh… Can I take a look?”
Tenshi showed great interest in my training schedule.
Well, the schedule made by a VTuber like me for the juniors is something she’d definitely want to see from the perspective of someone in the same industry.
“Go ahead.”
With that, I made room for her, and Tenshi jumped over to check the schedule.
“Oh… you wrote quite a bit, didn’t you? I’ll read it.”
Tenshi, reading the Korean notes I had written as if she were a local, soon looked back at me with more shock than before.
“Eh? What is this?”
She looked at me in astonishment.
“Read the title of the schedule.”
“The title… Oh, this?”
At my urging, Tenshi scrolled up the notepad and read the words written at the top.
“Virtual Training Center?”
“That’s the title of this content.”
“Content?”
“I plan to record it and upload it to YouTube, so I tried to come up with something.”
If I’m going to upload it to YouTube, it needs a fitting concept, doesn’t it?
The concept I decided on is a training center.
Well, instead of learning to use guns, they’ll learn using microphones, and instead of formalities, they’ll learn smiles.
“But can you really train them well? You haven’t done military service, right?”
Of course, as Tenshi pointed out, since I haven’t served, I might face difficulties in replicating a real training camp.
“Hmm, I’ve got it all figured out. Want to watch some dramas together today?”
“Yes? What drama?”
“It’s a popular drama these days, and I think it’ll be perfect to watch it now.”
I can fill in the lacking experiences with videos, right?
Since I’m not going to do it perfectly anyway, it just has to look good enough.
“Will you be broadcasting while watching?”
“That would be nice. How about doing a simultaneous watch for the first time in a while?”
So we decided on broadcasting swiftly.
“What drama is this…?”
“You know the Korean military, right?”
– Hahaha
– Oh crap, I’m getting PTSD
– Ahhh
After that, we conducted a simultaneously-watched broadcast of a military drama with Japanese viewers.
**
The schedule for the 5th generation training was fortunately arranged before Tenshi returned to Japan.
And that day is today.
So, I finished preparing early in the morning, and while waiting for the juniors, I received a call from the manager.
[Miro… You really need to do well.]
“Oh dear, you’re worrying too much.”
After calling, I was taken aback by the unnecessary concerns.
[…You’re not planning to do anything strange, are you?]
“No, manager, what are you talking about?”
Is this person really in a position to speak like that when asking me for a favor?
I prepared hard for our 5th generation juniors, and they think I’m going to do something weird.
[But why that kind of map….]
“What’s wrong with the map? It’s just right.”
[…What’s a military training ground have to do with VTuber education?]
“Hahaha.”
[What’s this dormitory business?]
Since watching the military drama last time.
I requested additional VR chat maps from the manager.
Among the list were maps that strongly resembled military training grounds or dormitories.
Watching the military drama really ignited a ton of ideas.
Since I had originally intended to go for that style, I’m going in very seriously.
“Manager, listen carefully. I have another reason for doing this.”
The manager seems to think I’m trying to tease the juniors, but rather, the juniors should be thankful to me.
[…Please tell me.]
“Our viewers are mostly men, right?”
[That seems to be the case…]
“How can you not enjoy seeing rookie VTuber candidates rolling around in a map that evokes nostalgia for those people?”
[Huh?]
I’m not sure, but I think once the video is uploaded, everyone will take a look at least once.
Well, there will be some who might question why female VTubers are trivializing the military when they don’t have military duties.
But since this is content and not a documentary, it should be okay.
[Is that so?]
“Yes, and the combination of women with military themes has always been a guaranteed success.”
The combination of two familiar yet different keywords naturally piques people’s curiosity.
From that perspective, content featuring women in the military has typically been a hit.
I’m just doing it lightly in VTuber form.
[…After listening to you, I suppose it’s that way.]
“Not just suppose; it’s a sure thing.”
[But still, take it easy on them….]
“Oh, you really think I’m trying to torment them? It’s all right, so don’t worry too much.
How has my image been formed?
What if the manager doesn’t recognize this earnest heart I have for the juniors?
“Anyway, I’ll be going now. They’re all gathered, after all.”
[Okay….]
Anyway.
While I was on the phone with the manager, I received a message saying that the 5th generation students had all gathered, so I wrapped up the call.
“Phew….”
After putting my phone down on the desk post-call, I logged into VR chat with a hopeful smile.
It’s finally time to see our cute 5th generation students in the metaverse.
