Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 627
Early Evening.
“I’m here!”
Soo-hyun entered the spacious luxury party room, carrying a bunch of plastic bags.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“What did you buy so much of?”
There were already five women sitting in the party room.
They were none other than the members of the Celestial Realm’s first generation, whom Soo-hyun had called today.
“Well, compared to that, everyone brought a lot, didn’t they?”
Soo-hyun said as she looked at the bags sprawled across the table.
It seemed everything was already organized, but I wonder if there’s room in the refrigerator for this.
“Hahaha… It’s a party room, after all.”
“I even ordered delivery!”
“Soo-hyun, come sit down.”
The Celestial Realm members, already seated on the sofa, all smiled and gestured for Soo-hyun to join them.
Everyone is full of energy after their break.
Well, it is the perfect time for that, given that late evening is peak time for VTubers.
“By the way, what’s the occasion? You invited all of us.”
“Right, it was originally just going to be an invitation from noona Narin.”
“Me? I had that kind of image?”
Anna, the one in charge of invitations, was surprised to realize her image for the first time in five years.
…Was she unaware of it?
Still, thanks to Anna, they had managed to gather now and then, so no complaints.
“Don’t we all know why I invited everyone?”
Everyone pretended not to know, even though they did.
Soo-hyun pulled out five black envelopes from her bag.
“Whoa.”
“Could it be…?”
“Hehe.”
Yes, those precious concert tickets.
She confidently placed the papers on the table.
“Wow, concert tickets.”
“I knew it!”
“Damn, I trusted you.”
It seemed everyone secretly wanted the concert tickets.
The tickets that were laid out quickly disappeared from the table.
“There’s a separate section for friends, so it will be clearly visible.”
“Oooh….”
“The packaging is fancy!”
“Wow, those precious tickets.”
“Hehehe.”
Seeing the members looking at the tickets with sparkling eyes, Soo-hyun smiled satisfactorily.
These tickets are truly worth giving out.
“Oh, there will be other people at the friends’ section too.”
“Uh, who?”
“You know the composer we saw before? The one who made the Celestial Realm song.”
“Oh, that person?”
“Yes, and Slim Gold band, and… my parents….”
“Hmm?”
“I think actor Moon Chang-sik will also be coming.”
“Oh??”
The Celestial Realm members were bewildered by the list of friends.
“Uh… does that mean we have to sit among those people?”
“Don’t worry. The seats nearby will be with Tenshi and my parents.”
“You thought about that too?”
“Of course.”
Would they be uncomfortable sitting with Moon Chang-sik or Hyeon-su among them?
So, the Celestial Realm members were grouped together while the entertainers were grouped separately.
“But is it just us from the Celestial Realm going?”
“I feel bad for the juniors~”
“You don’t look sorry at all… but there just weren’t enough tickets for the juniors.”
Soo-hyun also, um, would want to invite all Celestial Realm fifth-generation members, but…
Unfortunately, there weren’t that many invitation tickets.
“Really? How many are left?”
“Just one.”
Although they had received enough, they had distributed quite a few to Slim Gold band and the Celestial Realm’s first generation.
Giving out ten tickets to both groups, it made sense that there wouldn’t be any left now.
“Ooh… whose is this?”
“This one?”
Well, as long as there’s one ticket left. This one was already decided from the start.
“It’s for my friend.”
“Oh, a friend.”
“Hmm, I should take care of my friend.”
“Because it can be neglectful while broadcasting….”
The mention of a friend brought an inexplicable solemn atmosphere.
…Now that I think of it, I haven’t heard anyone mention friends lately.
Well, the job of a VTuber isn’t a normal one.
With the hours always changing and no time to go out.
Naturally, it becomes difficult to keep in touch with old friends.
“Ha….”
“I feel lonely….”
Because of that, the atmosphere in the party room suddenly dampened.
It seemed everyone was thinking about lost friends.
“Will we end up growing old like this?”
“Yeah… just doing broadcasts all the time.”
Oh, wait a second?
Soo-hyun observed the expressions of the members.
It seems there’s some loneliness beyond just friends.
“Hahaha… everyone, drink up and cheer up.”
Amidst the dampened mood, Anna made an effort to smile and raise her glass.
Well, considering they went through the trouble of booking a party room, the cups were filled with beverages, not alcohol.
“Of course….”
“It’s a shame there’s no alcohol….”
Since Soo-hyun doesn’t drink, and there are members who are currently avoiding alcohol following her lead, the party room was filled only with drinks.
“Hahaha… isn’t it true that connections can form when they didn’t exist before? Everyone cheer up.”
Seeing the members starting to sip their drinks, Anna offered some consolation.
But, um….
“When I think of connections…”
“Hmm?”
“How’s it going with that person?”
Anna seemed to have a good expression?
Considering she’s been broadcasting a lot lately, I thought it wasn’t going well.
“Wh-Who are you talking about…?”
At Soo-hyun’s question, Anna immediately frowned.
‘Please don’t mention it here.’
She then gave Soo-hyun a desperate look, but…
“The musical actor. What was their name…?”
Soo-hyun wouldn’t be intimidated by that kind of look.
What’s there to hide?
“Hmm?”
“A musical actor?”
With Soo-hyun’s bombshell declaration, the members turned their heads sharply.
“Oh….”
No, Soo-hyun!!
As the atmosphere thickened uncomfortably, Anna awkwardly smiled.
**
The Celestial Realm members are women in their 20s and 30s.
It’s a group of people who are at the prime age for women.
No matter how much VTubers live on fantasy, it’s impossible to prohibit dating for such a group.
In fact, popular idols are allowed to date by their agencies, so would VTubers not be allowed?
That’s why The Six does not have a dating prohibition clause.
Instead, there’s one condition: never let it show.
And if you ever get caught or sense that you might be, consult with The Six.
Additionally, from the second generation onward, there was related training to be cautious about social media or everyday statements.
That effort seems to have paid off, as so far, there has been barely any scandal related to men within the Celestial Realm.
Considering they have been over five years as a VTuber group, that’s an amazing feat…
“What? The other person is a musical actor?”
“Who is it? Who is it?”
In other words, there are very few members dating to the point where it doesn’t cause controversy.
Moreover, the first-generation members were completely wiped out in that regard, so there was an immense interest in Anna.
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“Only Soo-hyun knows, that’s unfair.”
Anna has a chatty personality.
She’s also nosy and loves talking about relationships.
As a result, she was someone who couldn’t be omitted from the Celestial Realm’s female talks…
But was she really keeping her own story to herself?
The members were taken aback by the shocking revelation.
“No, it’s not like that… Soo-hyun introduced the person.”
“Really? Soo-hyun introduced them…?”
“What about me?”
“No, no, it’s not an introduction.”
What scary things is this person saying?
“Originally, it was someone older sister knew. What happened was…”
Soo-hyun hastily corrected herself under the intense gaze from Mile and Haru.
“Oh, that was in the past….”
“Is this about Sun-ae….”
“How much is the wedding gift…?”
“Oh, no, it’s not that!”
Seeing the members acting as if they were already married, Anna waved her hands in protest.
“W-Well, we’re just in contact.”
“Have you not met?”
“…Just a few meals?”
“Whoa.”
Gasps erupted here and there at Anna’s words.
A few meals?
With a successful musical actor…!
“Do we need to send an invitation…?”
“C-Can’t we change the subject to someone else?”
Seemingly intimidated by the pouring attention,
Anna awkwardly waved her hands in protest.
But….
“Wh-Who to?”
“….”
Well, you need someone to change the subject.
“Is there anyone here who’s dating someone?”
Anna glanced around, hoping against hope.
They’re all capable peers even if they aren’t perfect.
They are even popular broadcasters with incomes that regular office workers can’t even imagine…
“I’m too busy with broadcasting….”
“If they were busy, I would have heard about it by now….”
“I’m just happy to be home now.”
Hearing their words was truly pitiful.
…Everyone seems to have traded their youth for five years of broadcasting.
And thinking about herself in the same situation, Anna wore a wretched smile.
Still, um, she was happy.
When would she ever be so loved?
As she thought that in her heart, even if she felt a bit miserable, without any regrets about her broadcasting life,
“So, how’s it going?”
Breaking the mood, Soo-hyun asked.
This person…
Give us some updates already instead of changing the subject.
“Right. You just had meals?”
“When’s your next appointment?”
Those words from Soo-hyun served as a signal, and they began to chat again.
“W-Well, I’ll tell you everything….”
Eventually, as Anna started to pour out everything, giving up on holding back.
“By the way, do you want to go on a trip this summer?”
“Trip?”
“We always say we’ll go but never do, so let’s go to the sea this time….”
The members, reunited for the first time in a while, spent the night in the party room until morning.
And the next evening.
“Here!”
“It’s been a while.”
In a nostalgic neighborhood, Soo-hyun met an old friend.
