Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 99

“Eeek!”

After a brief silence, Tenshi-san, more shocked than the men who were flustered, widened her eyes and stared at me.

Hmm… When you put it like that, doesn’t it seem like the effect is diminishing?

Right now, I’m a “cool beauty” with a strong dislike for Korea.

The group was making a fuss, after all.

Well, honestly, I didn’t intend to escalate things further here.

I was satisfied just saying one clear line to release the tension that had been building up.

As I stared at them unabashedly, the men started to hesitate.

Normally, this might have led to a fight, but my appearance was enough to douse their rising pride with cold water.

“Hey, what did that woman just say?”

“Chosunjing? Damn…”

“Isn’t that racism?”

But still, the other side seemed a bit tipsy, and I didn’t expect them to suddenly bolt just because I glared at them like in the movies or dramas.

And, normally, when you have a group, you don’t just back off easily, right?

As I quietly observed them, whispering among themselves, trying to regain the momentum they lost from my initial strike, I finally decided to let it go.

Thinking about it, this was Tenshi-san’s regular spot, so it wouldn’t be good to cause unnecessary trouble here.

…Although I had already attracted attention by shouting earlier.

So, I sipped on my sake while waiting, and soon, the men who had gathered themselves approached me.

Watching them, I decided to speak first.

“Do you have more to say?”

When I spoke in Korean, the men froze for a moment with stiff expressions.

“You’re Korean?”

“Then, are you Japanese?”

“No, uh…”

“Well, if you understand, then just go. Don’t whisper so loud that I can hear it, okay?”

It seemed that they realized I’d overheard everything they’d been saying. They looked embarrassed and, after a moment of hesitation, lowered their heads to apologize before returning to their seats.

A short time later, they quickly packed up and left the shop.

Yeah, that’s just how men are. They become weak in front of pretty women.

I can relate, though, since I’ve been a man before.

They must have been whispering, thinking I was just another Japanese woman. How embarrassed they must have been when they realized I could hear everything.

Well, I can’t say it was entirely right for me to shout, taking advantage of that.

“Su-hyun, are you crazy?!”

Afterward, Tenshi-san, who had been next to me, said that, but it all worked out, didn’t it?

To be honest, I was a bit scared.

If those men had completely lost it and started swinging punches, I would have had no choice but to take it with this body that’s practically devoid of muscles, right?

I acted bold because there were people around, but if it had been in a narrow alley or somewhere empty, I would’ve just kept my head down and ran away.

“Those kinds of people need to be taught a lesson. Whispering in front of others.”

“Even so… Is it okay to say things like that?”

“I’m Korean, so it’s fine.”

“…Do you say things like that on streams too?”

Stream? Well, I don’t really go out of my way to say things like that…

“I wouldn’t necessarily do it, but if I did, I don’t think it would cause a big problem.”

I said it casually, and Tenshi-san, who had been narrowing her eyes, soon relaxed and raised her glass.

“Eh— still, be careful with your words. You have to keep streaming for a long time, right?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded in agreement to her advice, even though her speech was a little slurred from the alcohol.

Yeah, I need to keep it going. I don’t think I’ll make any mistakes, though.

So that night, I spent hours exchanging drinks with Tenshi-san and talking about various things.

The morning after drinking:

“Ugh… ugh…”

I woke up, clutching my aching stomach and head, paying the price for mindlessly drinking last night.

Where am I?

The ceiling looks unfamiliar, and the bed beneath me is soft.

How much did I even drink? I can’t really remember yesterday.

It’s been a long time since I drank so much that I lost track…

I was definitely with Tenshi-san at the end, so I turned my head to look for her, and immediately found her.

No, actually, it’s strange that I didn’t notice sooner—she was right next to me, tightly curled up and sleeping.

Without makeup, she looks cute like this. The way she’s squirming a little reminds me of a younger sister.

“Mmm…”

As I got up, the blanket shifted, exposing Tenshi-san to the cold morning air, which made her scrunch up her face. She quickly got out of bed, and I covered her with the blanket.

After leaving the bedroom, I grabbed some water from the fridge, washed my face, and changed into my clothes that had dried overnight.

By the way, when is my return flight? Honestly, three days and two nights is really short.

Next time, I should plan for a full week.

Thinking that, I sat back on the couch, feeling sleepy from the lingering fatigue, and started to nod off. Soon, Tenshi-san came out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes.

“Ah, you’re up?”

“Ha- it… Ohayou gozaimasu….”

Still half asleep, Tenshi-san rubbed her eyes and plopped down next to me, starting to doze off too.

Well, I don’t remember exactly, but we definitely drank until late, so it makes sense that we’re both tired.

I, too, just wanted to keep resting.

But… I guess it’s time to get up.

Trying to shake off the desire to stay buried in the couch and sleep, I got up, and Tenshi-san, who had been dozing, lifted her head and looked at me.

“Are we leaving now?”

“Yeah, we have to.”

“Eh— can’t we stay a little longer…?”

Honestly, I’d like to stay too.

But there’s the dance lesson, and I’ve already announced the stream, so I have to go.

“It’s a shame, but I’ll come again next time.”

“Really?”

I made a pinky promise with Tenshi-san, then returned to the hotel.

“Did you come back?”

By the time I returned, Mrs. Jang and Director Kim were busy packing. With the flight time approaching and no time to waste, it was clear we’d have to leave soon.

I did wonder if I had spent too much time apart from my family during this trip, but when I saw my parents’ satisfied expressions, it felt like I’d done the right thing after all.

After a short but intense time in Japan, I returned to Korea.

That evening, back in Korea, I hesitated a bit before turning on the stream .

[Return Stream ]

Originally, I had planned to take a day off before starting again, but when I thought about it, I didn’t really have anything to rest for.

I didn’t work in Japan; I just had fun. Aside from the lingering slight hangover, I felt fine.

-?????

-Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you..

-If this is the maze of victory, I’ll upvote ᄏᄏ

-Wow, you actually turned it on

-I thought you were gonna kill it today ᄋᄋ

Since I had announced a break in the stream schedule, the viewers greeted me even more enthusiastically than usual.

Hmm… This is nice. Maybe next time I’ll announce a surprise break and start a surprise stream just like this?

Well, that’s for later. For now, I started by greeting everyone.

“Well, it’s been a while.”

-It’s been three days, though?

-I missed you so much

-How was Japan??

“Japan? Well, I actually want to go back.”

I didn’t do much, but I really enjoyed the different atmosphere I felt there. I shared my thoughts on the atmosphere of Japan with my viewers.

-Oh, nice

-Hmm… Is that so?

-Are you a Japan lover??

-So what did you do there?

“Well… I didn’t visit any special places, I think. I mostly just ate and drank.”

Thinking about it, I didn’t really go to any notable places. My parents went to Osaka Castle and a few other spots, but I was with Tenshi-san that day…

-??

-Then why did you even go?

-Fact) You did the same thing as in Korea

“No, it’s different from doing the same thing in Korea. It’s about eating local food. And I went to hang out with a Japanese friend, so that’s good, right?”

-A Japanese friend??

-You have a friend in Japan?

-Sigh, I knew it, you’re such a weeb

-But you don’t even speak Japanese

The mention of having a Japanese friend surprisingly caused the chat to buzz.

Had they forgotten about Tenshi-san by now? Or maybe they couldn’t believe I had a friend in Japan I could meet in person.

Well, what does it matter? I had fun meeting and hanging out with her. Now, it was time to share the story.

“Definitely, having a local friend there was really great. The difference between touring with my parents at tourist spots and having a local friend show me around was like night and day.”

-That’s true ᄋᄋ;

-But you met a friend while traveling with your parents?

“So what’s wrong with meeting a friend while traveling with my parents? I gave them space to enjoy their time together, that’s all.”

-Oh dear

-Disrespectful daughter

-Me

-Let’s tear down the ‘dutiful daughter’ plaque, huh?

It was probably because I had just come back, but the greeting felt more intense, like how a puppy greets you when you come home.

When I got home, it felt like I was being welcomed by a hyperactive puppy.

But the way a cute puppy happily rubs against you is very different from the whining complaints of the Maze team.

“Ugh, those little brats… starting up again.”

Ugh… careful with the language.

As soon as I cursed, Tenshi-san’s advice popped into my mind, and I quickly corrected myself.

“…I shouldn’t say that, right?”

-???

-What, is your stream a joke?

-Should we report this?

-I haven’t fought like this in a while

As expected, the chat was starting to heat up, and I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

It’s not like this has never happened before.

This was just another day in my life, part of the scenery.

“Do you know what a samurai is?”

-How could I not know?

Oo-

-You just came back from Japan, huh?

-Isn’t it just an unlucky night for the knight?

“Alright.”

I said, and then opened the chat window.

-???

-Please turn it off, it’s embarrassing

-I’m sorry

-No

Some people in the chat quickly caught on and apologized, but as always, there are those who miss the social cues.

I quickly scanned the chat and clicked on the username of someone who was being particularly rude.

“Baldo!”

Immediately, I kicked them out.

-AAAAH

-Someone’s been banned

-I’m sorry… I’m sorry…

-I didn’t mean it, please let me back in!

As soon as I kicked out one person, a wave of apologies flooded the chat.

However, if I was only going to ban one person, I wasn’t even drawing my sword from the scabbard.

I scrolled up to the chat from one minute ago and, seeing the reckless comments made by those unaware of their fate, I swung my blade again.

“#@*!@#!”

Another person was banned.

“Ha… This heavy, chilling feeling.”

I hadn’t intended to do this right after returning.

But today, I was going to dance my samurai dance, regardless.
