Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 83

**[Miro Enters Beat Saber: LOL]**

Who recommended this? Epic LOL  

-Miro’s playing Beat Saber?  

-She got a VR headset  

-Of all games, she picks that one  

-She won’t last 30 minutes~  

-Gonna abandon it soon, mark my words LOL

**[Wait, why is she good at this?]**

Is this really her first time?  

-She’s actually doing well, no joke, cleared it in one go?  

-She’s better than I thought, tbh…  

-Why’s she good? Seriously curious  

-Struggling with stamina but slicing every block, lol  

-But I can’t stand how smug she’s being

**[Miro: Actually, I’m a hidden successor of the Heavenly Sword Style]**

“It’s a solo-inherited sword technique from Japan that I’ve kept hidden till now.”  

“Apologies to my viewers for keeping this secret.”  

She’s going wild LOL  

-Like, yeah, you’re good, but stop with the gloating  

-Haha, what a tryhard  

-This girl can’t handle compliments…

**[If you’re annoyed by Miro’s smugness, like this]**

She should just focus on the game, but she keeps dragging it out with her comments, ugh…  

-Her stamina’s already failing her, LOL  

-She’s talking but barely breathing  

**[Miro Down LOL]**

(Miro trips while playing Beat Saber)  

She didn’t even make it through ten songs? LOL she just falls over haha  

-LMAO what a physical comedy show  

-Why didn’t she play this sooner?  

-She’s great at games, but she never plays them seriously smh  

-A hidden gem? More like wasted potential…

**[Miro Logs Out of Beat Saber After 30 Minutes LOL]**

Miro: “My Heavenly Sword Style… gasp… it’s a solo gasp… inheritance, so I… wheeze… can’t reveal it too much.”  

Pathetic, Miro, LOL  

-Listen to her panting, lol  

-She’s gasping like she’s about to die  

-So much for the Heavenly Sword Style LOL  

-She lasted 30 minutes, that’s already impressive tbh

**[Why Miro is Actually a Virgin]**

If she’s 21, going to college, and has this low stamina,  

It just means she only ever went between home and school.  

Even a simple walk with a boyfriend would have built more stamina.  

-As a Miro fan, I have to say that’s true LOL  

-Compared to the girls hyped by ^TomPong^ fans, she’s definitely pure

**- Where do you live, you little…**  

**- If Anna’s still a virgin at her age, that’s even stranger, you idiot.**  

**- Tom’s fans are triggered, lol**  

**- Three-minute standby, huh? LOL**  

– Miro, Roah, Haru, and Maho are all definitely virgins.  

**- Maho’s age, though…**  

**- Roah is for sure; I’ve seen her myself.**  

**- Haru seems like a social butterfly based on the stories, though.**  

**[Miro: I’m going to play Beat Saber again tomorrow.]**  

You’re doing it again? LOL  

She must be hooked.  

– When you’re good at something, it’s fun.  

– Says she’s building stamina through Beat Saber.  

**- Lol, typical gamer, using games to train stamina**  

– Jump rope would’ve been too much, anyway, haha.

**[Downside of Beat Saber Domination Era;]**  

Does a 30-minute game, then immediately logs off.  

From now on, stream time is only 30 minutes LOL  

– Only doing 30 minutes?  

**- Well, with the fan café stuff first, it’s around 45 minutes.**  

**- Still, it’s basically not even an hour.**  

– We’re doomed…

**[Tracked down the guy who suggested Beat Saber LOL]**  

(Photo)  

Looking at the ID, he’s from the forums, right?  

This jerk is the reason Miro only streams for 30 minutes now.  

Let’s go pay him a visit, yeah?  

– Let’s go!  

– I’m a mod here; he’s blocked now.  

“Ugh…”

I opened my eyes to a dull ache in my arms and stomach.

Yeah… this is definitely muscle pain.

The aftereffects of yesterday’s so-called “Heavenly Sword Style training” are hitting my body hard now.

As much as I’d love to lie around all day, unfortunately, I have a scheduled appointment today.

I forced myself out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom. The meeting is a bit early, so I need to get ready and head out right away.

After finishing my preparations, I stepped outside, bracing myself against the soreness.

The cool autumn air and sight of fall leaves made coming out early feel worth it.

It was just past rush hour, so the subway was quiet as I headed to the now-familiar composer’s studio.

It took less than an hour to arrive at the studio.

The first time I came here, I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt; now I’m bundled up in a coat.

Time really has flown.

And as time’s passed, the new song has reached a solid stage of completion.

The recording is nearly done… maybe it’ll be released soon?

Lost in thought, I entered the passcode on the door lock and stepped into the studio.

I walked past the familiar entrance and into the lobby, where I spotted the composer sitting alone. It was unusual—normally, he wouldn’t even come out to greet me, now that we were familiar.

“Composer-nim.”

“Oh, Su-hyun, you’re here.”

“Why are you out here?”

I took a seat across from him at the lobby table. On the table were two notebooks and two pens. Was one of them for me? But it already had some notes written in it.

“Oh, about that. A friend stopped by today.”

When he noticed my curious gaze on the notebook, he pointed to the other side.

“Who…?”

Who else could have come?

Following his gaze, I turned around to see a man I now recognized stepping out of the restroom and walking toward us.

“Oh, Mr. Moon Changsik?”

“Ah, isn’t this Su-hyun?”

It turns out the famous actor Moon Changsik was here. Seeing him again felt different. Back then, I just thought of him as a handsome celebrity, but now he truly feels like a top star.

“Did you pass along my autographs?”

“Autographs? Oh, right.”

Now that he mentioned it, I still had to give them to the other members. I forgot during the last dance lesson.

“Oh, right. Did you hand them out?”

“Uh… yes, my parents loved them.”

Especially Manager Kim, who went as far as boasting to all the relatives.

“Well, that’s good to hear. But that’s my seat, actually.”

“Oh.”

So the notebook in front of me was his? I quickly got up and moved aside.

“It’s been a while. Did you have a good Chuseok?”

“Chuseok? Oh, yes, it was nice. By the way, I saw your drama.”

Since I’d run into him, I mentioned watching his drama with Ms. Jang in the living room, and he looked visibly surprised.

Is it that shocking?

“You finally watched something I was in. You mean the one that just aired, right?”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

“So, what did you think? Was it good?”

Good… It was pretty entertaining.

“I only caught the first episode casually, but it was fun.”

“Casually…? You watched it casually? You should watch it properly.”

Oh, did my comment about watching it casually bother him a bit?

I suppose, after putting so much effort into it, that would sting a little.

“It just came on while I was with my mom. I’ll give it a proper watch when I have time.”

“Please do. I had a great time filming it, so I hope you enjoy it.”

The passion in his eyes was almost intimidating.

I guess that’s what it takes to be a top-tier actor.

“Yes… I’ll make sure to watch it.”

I might not actually watch it if I don’t find the time, but I said I would anyway.

But now that I think about it, why is Moon Changsik here at the composer’s studio? Didn’t he finish his role research last time?

“So, why did you come by today? Are you here for more reference material?”

“Well, that’s part of it, but while acting, I came up with a few questions, so I thought I’d get some advice from hyung here.”

“So, this is your second time coming for the project?”

“Yes, isn’t it?”

He’s come twice, and both times have been on the exact day and time I’m here for recording?

That’s… a bit suspicious.

I looked over at the composer, who gave me an awkward smile.

“The truth is, Su-hyun, you’re the only one I’m currently inviting to the studio for recordings. Besides, you don’t seem like someone who’d mind.”

“I don’t mind, but… does that mean you’re not working with anyone else?”

Is it true I’m the only one he’s inviting over for recording sessions? And this is Kang Woo-hyun, a famous composer?

“You’re not turning down other work just because of me, are you? You really don’t have to go that far….”

As important as our new song is, not taking on work during peak autumn release season feels… like a lot of pressure.

“What are you talking about? No one comes in to record these days. Everything’s sent as files, and, among the people I work with, you’re the only one without a personal recording studio.”

…That makes sense.

But not having a personal recording studio? I paid quite a bit for my microphone and soundproof booth setup.

Isn’t that good enough?

“Don’t tell me you’re considering that microphone you use at home as professional recording equipment?”

…Was his sharp remark because he knows I’m a streamer?

“So… when do you plan on releasing the new song? It’s practically done, isn’t it?”

“There you go, changing the subject. I’m not sure about the release date myself. There are so many different marketing methods these days that I’m looking into a few options.”

Marketing… it’s not just important, it’s the single biggest factor in a song’s success.

From YouTube Shorts to Reels and TikToks, viral marketing is the strategy behind many successful songs.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care about the numbers. Watching you record, I realized I want a lot of people to hear this. I have this… ambition.”

Of course… after all the effort, how could he not have ambition?

If it were me, I’d feel the same. Actually, since I’ve gone through the recording process, I genuinely want this song to succeed.

It’s not just about my effort—I’ve seen the composer’s passion and hard work with my own eyes.

“Well, let’s complete it first and then think about it. Shall we go record now?”

“Sounds good. My voice is in great shape today.”

With that, I stood up and headed into the recording booth.

This is it—the final recording session.

It’s time to put a period on this long journey.
