– Breaking News) Moon Si-hyun: I’m going to hit the rice cakes a lot!

No fabrication

– Ugh, can’t we stop with this BS fabricating stuff? It’s really boring, why do you keep doing it?

ㄴ There’s no fabrication

ㄴ I’m telling you there’s no fabrication, you idiot

ㄴ Even though I wrote there’s no fabrication, you’re still cursing, lol

ㄴ Unicorn idiot from the chatroom

ㄴ?

ㄴWhat the hell are you talking about, damn it

ㄴ So you’re saying that person really said that?

ㄴ Yup, yup

ㄴ Surprisingly, it’s true

―――

– What’s up with this girl?

She’s already a total mess, and if she doesn’t even know about lewd stuff, isn’t she just openly asking for it?

– Seriously, lol

– What?

– No, doesn’t this not make sense? Doesn’t she use the internet? Doesn’t she have friends to talk about this with?

ㄴ She said her only friend is Squirrel… probably

ㄴ If she had friends to talk about this, she would freak out

ㄴ How is it possible to not know this?

ㄴ It’d be nice if they could do a collab and share their stories

―――

Hahahahahaha

Hahahaha

Si-hyun, what on earth does that mean?

Wow, don’t you know what “hitting the rice cakes” means??

I’ve clipped it already

Crazy girl, hahahahaha

Got a source, hahahahaha

―――

[Ah, no……!]

The minds of the DC users, chat window, and Hu-ji were in chaos in an instant. Only Moon Si-hyun remained calm, as she couldn’t understand the malice-laden donation.

“Hitting rice cakes.” Considering the context, it seemed to be a metaphor, but it was unfamiliar to her. Hence, two interpretations stemmed from her small head regarding that metaphor.

‘Usually, rice cakes are associated with positive meanings, like a party or sharing. So, this person must have meant it as a blessing.’

‘The sound made when a fighter strikes an opponent is similar to the sound of hitting rice cakes. Since they wished for a successful broadcast and to hit rice cakes with people I like, they must have meant it as a blessing.’

She couldn’t clearly discern which it was, but either way it had a good meaning, so Moon Si-hyun nodded her head and expressed her gratitude.

And that became quite an amusing talking point for the viewers. They already knew that the highly skilled Moon Si-hyun was firmly misunderstanding something.

―――

Euhuhuh has donated 1,000 won.

Si-hyun, do you hit rice cakes often on normal days? Haha

―――

“Yes. I often hit rice cakes. You see that on my broadcasts every day, right?”

―――

Hahahaha

Gasp

Gasp

What!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to see

I haven’t seen it, show me

A broadcast of Moon Si-hyun hitting rice cakes that only the big spenders can see, whoa

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

Let’s hit them together, Si-hyun

―――

“Hmm, hitting rice cakes with viewers is a bit… Well, okay. I’ll consider it again soon.”

―――

Wow

Wow

Damn, haha

Hahahahaha

Hah

I’m upright

Is that a promise?

Wow

Please set a date for me

Ah… if you say that in that voice…

You bad kids

The reactions are way too intense, but I feel so guilty that I’m holding back, Si-hyun…

―――

[Si-Si-hyun. You can’t say any more. No, more than that, how can you not know this……]

Hu-ji was about to say more but shut his mouth. Revealing the meaning directly in his current state would look very strange.

“Why? Didn’t you also like to hit rice cakes like me, Hu-ji?”

That statement implied that Hu-ji was also a fighter.

[……]

After that, Moon Si-hyun answered a few donations and chats. Every word from the oblivious woman caused messages to explode in the chat window and gallery.

At that moment, another donation came in.

―――

“Enough” has donated 1,000 won.

Hitting rice cakes: A slang term for sexual intercourse. The sound made when bodies collide during vigorous intercourse is similar to the sound made when hitting rice cakes.

―――

Gasp

Gasp

Gasp

What

Is this for real???

Hahahahahahaha

Gasp

Students, delete your posts

Everyone, run away!!!

Ah, damn it, don’t say it just a bit later

―――

It was a long vocal donation. As usual, Moon Si-hyun quietly listened to the entire content of the donation.

And near the end of that donation—

“…… huh?”

Moon Si-hyun froze in her previous posture. It was blatantly apparent as a virtual model.

Idiot, hahahahaha

Wow, she really doesn’t know, hahahahaha

Suddenly, it’s amazing how Moon Si-hyun, who has become a Pazzk minor craft, doesn’t realize this.

Si-hyun, I’ll use it well~ Thank you

Please say it’s RP

Si-hyun, I’m watching over youuuuuuuuuu

No, why do you keep acting smart when you always do this?

Turns out you were just a total idiot, huh?

―――

As if ending a prank on a friend, the viewers had a blast teasing the clueless Moon Si-hyun.

Moon Si-hyun stood there in silence, checking the chat window as she slowly processed the situation. A situation she didn’t want to admit.

The “hitting rice cakes” she had said repeatedly. The words and actions she had misconstrued were now covered in the true meaning like a sticker.

“……”

Moon Si-hyun’s face gradually began to heat up. Eventually, she bowed her head deeply.

Then, she raised her head boldly and opened her mouth.

“I, I already, knew about it…… Hitting rice cakes means sexual intercourse. There’s no way I wouldn’t know that.”

But this time, her usual confident voice didn’t come out.

Her lips trembled. The more she spoke, the more her voice dwindled. The reason for her really red ears was obvious.

―――

Idiot, that’s weirder

Just let it go this time, damn it

Pretending to know this time makes it even weirder, haha

No, why are you still trying to act tough in this situation, lol

Hahahahahahaha

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

Oh, so Si-hyun, you’re saying that you often hit rice cakes like before (meaning sexual relations) right?

―――

“- !!”

That donation pinpointed Moon Si-hyun’s hesitant attitude perfectly. Her shoulders trembled significantly.

―――

It’s a contradiction, right?

Hahahahahahaha

Hahahahahaha

Contradiction, haha

Oh, it’s nice being able to see all the movements because she’s a VTuber

―――

Moon Si-hyun, now seemingly restless, slightly shuffled her feet, took a deep breath, and fanned her face a few times before speaking. Of course, all of those nervous movements were fully visible.

“- It doesn’t really matter. It’s unfortunate that the donor is somewhat twisted, but there’s no reason for me to feel embarrassed about the word sexual intercourse. It was simply a misunderstanding on my part. And sexual intercourse isn’t something to be ashamed of. Almost all creatures are born from the mating of male and female organs, you know……”

The words flowed quickly and naturally. She had argued and debated to her heart’s content back in college. She had stomped all over those uppity kids who entered the top university in Korea. She did so even without needing to.

It was only natural that sexual topics came up in those debates. During those times, she felt no shame discussing such matters.

“Well, it’s not that I…”

But for some reason, the more she spoke, the more difficult it became to continue. It was something beyond her understanding.

―――

Why do your words keep getting smaller?

Sexual intercourse isn’t shameful (while she’s the most embarrassed)

Oh, I feel embarrassed just listening to her stubbornly argue, Si-hyun

Si-hyun, honestly, don’t you feel like you’re in deep trouble right now?

―――

“……”

Of course, her usual demeanor, but this time, even the nonsensical words wouldn’t be believed by the viewers.

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

Moon Si-hyun: Yes. I hit rice cakes often. You see that on the broadcasts…

―――

– Bang!!

“Ah……!”

She jolted heavily from that donation, hitting her toe against the treadmill’s pillar and bending down. It was déjà vu.

―――

Hahahahaha

Pretending to be fine while biting her lip, haha

Hahahahahahaha

―――

Her words and gestures revealed all her bewilderment and fluster. The calm demeanor she had habitually performed to turn the situation around was now nothing but a bubble.

Thus began the chaotic broadcast. Moon Si-hyun finally quieted down after booting a few people out as examples.

Hu-ji’s Broadcast.

After the huge ruckus from earlier, Moon Si-hyun apologized saying, “I’m sorry for causing a commotion while you were broadcasting,” and ended the stream, resolving the situation for now.

―――

I’m dizzy

What’s going on?

Hahahahahaha

Now it’s just outright funny, hahaha

That person really seems to not know…

―――

Hu-ji’s fans who came to beat him up because of “liquid” also struggled to keep a unified stance as they couldn’t quite keep up with the current situation.

The community’s sentiment also became ambiguous. The negative views about Moon Si-hyun from the female-dominated community began to gradually dissolve. Because of that vicious donation. Most moralized places in the female communities couldn’t criticize her anymore.

Now, only Hu-ji and his viewers remained. After calming the atmosphere momentarily, Hu-ji spoke up.

Hu-ji held a brief clarification broadcast. While many phrases were embellished, ultimately it boiled down to two lines.

– It’s true that she was given my number. However, there have been no meetings afterward.

– I’m sorry for deceiving you all. I will refrain from making statements that evoke specific emotions in the future.

That was all. Now he couldn’t lie anymore.

Some fans were disappointed and drifted away.

However, new fans began to emerge.

Thus began the fluctuation in the viewer base.

In the beginning, the follower count for Hu-ji’s Pazzk began to drop slightly.

However, as time passed, the number of followers started to grow.

– The process of defending Moon Si-hyun’s opinions in a female-dominated cafe…jpg

Before the total mess behavior

{- It’s getting annoying how they keep acting clueless. [2]

– What’s their deal…? [2]

– Why does her voice seem to be acting so mature? [4]}

After the nutjob behavior

{- Doesn’t she know what hitting rice cakes means??? [3]

– Even if that’s the case, that kind of donation isn’t right… That’s harassment. [3]

– She seems a bit slow. [3]

– Isn’t this a lie?? [5]

– Isn’t she speaking as if she really doesn’t know? What’s going on? [4]

– But isn’t that donation just too much…? She’s a female streamer. [4]}

Setting the fire and tanking it herself…

Furthermore, Hu-ji’s subscribers dropped a bit but began to rise steadily…

– “She seems a bit slow,” lol

ㄴ Hahahahaha

ㄴ If a high-ability person saw this directly, they would totally freak out

ㄴ But it’s true, Si-hyun

– Yep, men should avoid doing liquid moves, it would ruin things instead

ㄴ For real, if a man does the liquid move, he’s saying he’s giving up on his male viewers, which isn’t worth Fiore’s skills

ㄴ It’s legendary that gender ratio was 3:7, what does 3 mean?

ㄴ Gasp

– Was this what you were aiming for… Pazzk high-ability GOAT

– Shielding just for being a woman, hahahahaha, ridiculous

– What about Hu-ji’s opinion on this?

ㄴ Because of that harassment donation, it’s half and half so tell Ji-hun to stop

―――

– It’s even a good thing for Hu-ji’s overly zealous female fans to leave

Her voice was so nice that I watched often

Those damn girls are all overreacting to every little thing, oh my god disgusting

From now on, they say they’ll reduce the liquid moves so I’m honestly really glad

And it seems VTubers are allowed to do sexual harassment while camtubers aren’t

I just saw Moon Si-hyun for the first time and got interested, those fan tubes are a real turn-on

Her voice is super nice, and her figure is amazing, but they say she’s innocent and somewhat slow

Just perfect for using her trusting nature to get drunk and take her home

– Gross upvote

– ?

– ?

– ??

– I was laughing my head off but then the last line wiped my grin away

– Wait, she’s a woman, insane

– Please don’t watch

– This is so scary

―――

– I really disliked the Ji-hun guy, but I just hope he keeps pushing forward like this

(Hu-ji watching time capture)

Her voice is nice, and she’s exceptionally skilled at Fiore, so I watched often

Those girls hating on her at the slightest mention of ‘female’ were awful

It seems Hu-ji wanted to kick them out for a long time, so I’m glad it turned out this way

Just reducing liquid moves and growing through male influx is the right path

What kind of high-ranking master skill is used for liquid selling?

– For real, this would be the right angle

– Subscriber count increased by 1,000, whoa

– Honestly, this seems to be the way

– I didn’t watch because liquid antics were awful, but now that they say they won’t do it, I’ll follow up, lol

―――

– Moon Si-hyun: “I’ll hit rice cakes a lot…”…clip

(Moon Si-hyun dialogue clip)

– Wait, why is this real?

– For real, she doesn’t know the internet at all
ㄴ It seems she doesn’t have much in the way of human relationships either

– I hope she doesn’t know about sex too

ㄴ I don’t think that’s the case

ㄴ Why do you think a 21-year-old is like a newborn baby? Hahaha

ㄴ I wish she wouldn’t know, let’s see it get revealed

– Damn, I want to meet her to educate her

– I’m dying to see Squirrel’s reaction to this, lol

ㄴ For real

ㄴ I just read this and clipped it

ㄴ She’ll probably sigh a lot again

ㄴ Is this what she was worried about every day? Hahaha

―――

– I’m really sorry, Hu-ji…… I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

– No, it’s fine

– This might actually be better for me

– No. If you’re okay, I’d like to treat you to a meal next time…… I’m really sorry.

– Yes?
– Really?

– Yes? Yes.

– Yes, I’ll contact you next time. Have a good day, Si-hyun, and thank you for your hard work.

“…… Hu.”

She sighed as she ended the Discord call.

It was a sigh of relief. After a few conversations following the end of each broadcast, the situation had become clear.

I had burdened Hu-ji immensely.

Though he said he forgave me, it was a fact that I had made a huge mess. I was really relieved it ended here.

I knew women streamers were sensitive about these matters from Lee Da-ram’s incident, but it was the first time I realized that men were sensitive about this too.

Perhaps, it’s time to study a bit about broadcasting. My statements seem to be getting heavier little by little. I’m gradually beginning to feel my viewer and follower count.

…… I still have a lot to learn. My head started to hurt a bit.

Should I take a short walk?
