Hako Virtual Minor Gallery

―――

– By the way, has anyone ever seen Moon Si-hyun smile?

Not just those little sounds or laughter that come out when she’s feeling good.

Has she ever laughed out loud like other female VTubers?

Why does it feel like I’ve never seen it?

– Doesn’t seem like it.

– Doesn’t seem like it.

– Wait, now that I think about it, there’s really nothing, what the heck?

– I keep her stream on all the time because of her voice, but she’s never done that.

– Moon Si-hyun really doesn’t have that kind of charm.

She doesn’t act cute or anything like the others at all.

– Yeah, she’s just calm, and as a naturally reserved female, that’s just how it is…

– I mean, her usual manner of speaking also makes her seem like a real lady.

– For real.

―――

– But cactus is kind of boring today.

Feels like he’s a bit stiff.

– For real.

– Sometimes he makes a bad joke, and the chat gets a bit chilly; it’s not easy.

– He’s a big deal, but he’s got such a strong underground vibe.

– He always acts like this when he’s with women; it doesn’t seem like he’s just a virgin loser.

– The fighter’s 1-to-1 is like that too; rather, it’s Moon Si-hyun who’s making all the fun points.

– What would have happened if it weren’t for Moon Si-hyun?

―――

Cactus revealed his robust bowel movements that no one wanted to know about.

If Moon Si-hyun didn’t react well, the mood of the collab could deflate in an instant.

But, just after that, Moon Si-hyun’s head dropped low, and now, even after dozens of seconds, her laughter kept leaking out.

It was hard to believe, but the viewers soon realized.

―――

Wow, she’s laughing at this???

Hahahahahaha

―――

…She just burst into laughter over such a one-dimensional joke.

Moon Si-hyun really doesn’t laugh much. Not on-stream or in real life.

Even if a funny situation arises in the game, she just stays quiet or nods her head in gratitude and continues on.

That’s why, she doesn’t laugh often. That’s the impression she has left on the viewers.

…She had that impression, yet.

“Hit… Huh…”

Occasionally, sounds of her trying to hold back her laughter emerged.

In her desperate attempt, Moon Si-hyun’s pale face gradually turned red. At the same time, several confused question marks appeared on her face.

It was a humor code that even she herself didn’t realize.

Cactus was also momentarily speechless, and the silence lingered.

Then, when Moon Si-hyun’s state finally leveled out, Cactus’s dazed voice came through.

[Are you, um, laughing right now?]

“Ah, I’m not laughing, though…!”

Moon Si-hyun tried to say in trembling voice. A side of herself she didn’t even know about. And something she absolutely didn’t want to reveal. She bit down hard on her lips and held it back.

[…]

Cactus fell silent for a moment.

[Poop.]

“Puhuh!”

[Diarrhea.]

“Hik…! Hit…! Huh, huhu…”

[Snot.]

“Huuh!”

And, once again, her desperate writhing went to waste. Even when she covered her mouth and slapped her thighs, laughter burst forth uncontrollably.

[Nose booger.]

“Huh! Huh! Ugh…!”

[Why are you laughing at something like this~! Heheh!]

―――

Hahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Are you really laughing at this, Si-hyun?

Ah, seriously, why am I laughing too?

How many times am I failing to hold back this laughter? Hahahahahahaha

For real, this kid! Hahaha

Her humor code was so pure, it’s hilarious.

―――

Wow, how sweet! Hahaha, she’s accepting it like this.

Isn’t this like a genuine laugh?

Damn, now I’m bursting too. Hahaha

―――

Now, both Cactus and the viewers were bursting into laughter.

The most confused one was Moon Si-hyun. No matter how hard she tried to hold back her laughter, the strange comments kept coming, causing her to burst into laughter again.

Now her face was truly flushed. She didn’t even know why it was funny. Neither the viewers nor Cactus knew. They just started laughing too.

However, it wasn’t that Cactus’s words were funny; it was just that Moon Si-hyun laughed at them, and that’s what made it funny. That’s how a woman’s laughter works.

[Um. And—]

Cactus had failed time and again to make her laugh throughout today’s stream, even making the chat atmosphere go chilly at times.

So now, he was even more excited.

He said a bunch of even lower-level words. Even when Moon Si-hyun begged him to stop, he kept going.

And then, as he started spewing words even cruder than that, Moon Si-hyun finally said with a serious face, “Please stop,” and that’s when it ended.

After such a ruckus, they played another round of Fiore. From behind Moon Si-hyun, who was decimating her opponents, Cactus kept shouting, “Nice!” repeatedly.

The slightly cooled atmosphere that came from “Cactus ruining the mood” was immediately warmed back up with another round of Fiore.

And now, it was truly time to part ways.

“Thank you very much. I’ll be leaving now.”

―――

It was fun.

Si-hyun, I’m coming to you…

Cactus and Moon Si-hyun collab day 1

―――

[Yes. Take care.]

Moon Si-hyun’s lovely voice rang out.

“Yep.”

After hearing her reply, Cactus was about to leave the Discord.

“Um, Si-hyun.”

He opened his mouth to Moon Si-hyun, who hadn’t left yet.

[Yes?]

“Next time… can we do it together again?”

Said in a voice that might sound a bit clingy.

―――

Ah, crap.

Why am I being so needy?

Please stop being so pathetic.

You did the ‘Cactus ruining the mood’ thing, and now you’re out.

―――

Did this idiot really get saved by Moon Si-hyun again; where’s your conscience?

―――

Then, in the chat, they started hammering Cactus with criticism.

Of course, it was the same ‘virgin loser’ concept as when he asked her to evaluate his face before. Moon Si-hyun didn’t care whether the words were nice or mean.

But this time, there was more sincerity mixed into that concept than before. It was due to him developing more feelings for Moon Si-hyun after today’s collab.

So, without realizing it, he was slightly nervous and waited for her reply.

[Of course. Just contact me anytime.]

―――

Kya!

Kya!

Yes, the goddess of mercy…

Kya!

Hoping to collab with San-deng too.

Kya!

―――

A very kind reply was heard. Cactus took a moment to pause, then greeted her and left the Discord.

“Phew…”

He sighed and looked ahead for a moment.

A feeling he hadn’t quite experienced much in his life began to blossom.

“…”

It was summer.

Just as he was sitting there for a moment.

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

Cactus, explain why you created ‘Cactus ruined the mood’ episode 1034013 before I kill you.

―――

For real.

Hahahahahahaha

“…”

Of course, there wasn’t a chance for a comedian-like male streamer for the viewers to feel that kind of vibe.

Right after parting with Cactus.

“Phew…”

Moon Si-hyun fanned her hot face with her hands. Suddenly, the incident from today crossed her mind.

Even now that she had parted with Cactus, chat was filled with all sorts of dirty words due to that incident.

“…Please don’t talk about that too much.”

Finally, only after Moon Si-hyun’s ‘temporary exit rush’ did the chat quiet down.

And then, after a brief silence, Moon Si-hyun said,

“Did you enjoy today’s collab?”

―――

Yeah.

Yes.

It was fun.

It was really fun.

Yeah.

I’m a unicorn, so I approve of Cactus.

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

I don’t usually like collabs, but seeing this, it’s not bad at all.

―――

ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won.

You have a talent for streaming.

―――

Various positive responses followed.

“…”

A smile bloomed on Moon Si-hyun’s lips.

Yesterday, Cactus’s sudden collab proposal.

However, due to incidents with squirrels and Hu-ji and other men, she felt a bit cautious.

It had been Cactus who persuaded her and made it happen.

After hearing that they would be okay because there were many overlapping viewers, Moon Si-hyun checked the statistics, and it turned out to be true, so she accepted.

“I’m glad they liked it.”

A goodwill for the viewers. But personal goodwill doesn’t always yield positive results.

Yet this time, it seemed like she managed to reach them fully, so she was happy.

Just when the atmosphere was so good.

A donation echoed.

―――

dhktzlxp92 has donated 1,000 won.

Lol, I can imagine you getting your hacks and doing the dirty with Cactus, Si-hyun.

Pazzk Backbiting Mini Gallery

―――

Mini Gallery.

A gallery with greatly simplified approval procedures for creation. That’s why there were really a lot of mini galleries on DC.

Among them was Pazzk Backbiting Mini Gallery.

A place where the renowned and prominent users of Pazzk Minor Gallery operated, targeting the users of Pazzk Minor Gallery, truly a spot where ‘real’ ones, who devoted their lives to gallery activities, gathered.

―――

– Wakitete is the ugliest of them all.

After being beaten by Moon Si-hyun with public opinion, he ugly tried to worm his way in everywhere, only to get hit by Sansu, Cactus, and San-deng, just got beat by everyone,

Eventually, once again, Moon Si-hyun had a super successful collab with Cactus and is expected to rise to the top again.

Even the AM life folks turned their backs and just ruined their lives on DC.

– For real, lol.

– Just a complete loser.

– All his followers are dead now.

– So ugly too.

―――

“…”

– Ppuduk

Wakitete secretly clenched his teeth while reading that post.

Despite gathering multiple IPs to defame Moon Si-hyun or causing chaos on the broadcast, nothing was coming together compared to the usual “disturbances.”

This time, there were too few people following Wakitete’s lead in causing chaos. Conversely, Moon Si-hyun’s public opinion shield was far too strong.

Originally, he was supposed to create rifts as usual, but there was no opposing target to create rifts against, thanks to the affection Moon Si-hyun held from her entire fanbase.

There were some recent increases in female haters, but that peculiar fanbase had the opposite effect. If they caught even the slightest whiff of that, they were attacked back.

Wakitete’s ground as Wakitete grew too narrow. The internet was his only place to exert influence, making him even more desperate.

In the end, Wakitete decided to create a new account and sent malicious donations. It was a lot more aggressive than usual—he was that desperate.

The friendly atmosphere that had bloomed after the collab with Cactus suddenly turned into a cauldron of abuses towards Wakitete.

It was precisely as he had intended. When Moon Si-hyun banned ‘dhktzlxp92,’ he prepared to unleash ‘dhktzlxp93’ which then turned into ‘dhktzlxp94’ to stir up further chaos.

And eventually, did Moon Si-hyun succumb to his provocation?

[How about we chat separately for a moment? I feel like we need to understand each other.]

She successfully gained a one-on-one conversation opportunity with him.

“Bitch.”

Perhaps it’s because she hadn’t been streaming for very long yet?

Just as he expected, no, even more than he expected, he stood to gain.

There was no way a pure and naive girl like her could gain any advantage in a debate with him.

A man in a one-room apartment.

He nervously twitched his fingers with a bloodshot neck while sporting a VR headset.

―――

Wakitete: Don’t you know the hacks are falling apart?

Wakitete: You’re saying you’ve been using hacks…

Moon Si-hyun: I told you.

Moon Si-hyun: There’s no way an individual would possess hacks.

Wakitete: Not that hack,

Wakitete: I’m saying there are hacks that play the game for you!

Moon Si-hyun: My account is for my use only. I’ve never shared it with anyone. And I have no control over hacks.

Wakitete: Damn you!

―――

Gradually, typos began appearing on the virtual keyboard, perfectly expressing his feelings.

He was trying to scratch Moon Si-hyun’s insides while evading the main point, hoping they might get mired in mud together.

Yet it seemed she’d pulled him into her pace.

You need at least a certain level of understanding from the opponent for slander to work. First, he’d have to get her to understand what “hacks” meant if he wanted to slander her.

So, he wrote even stronger insults while trying to explain hacks to her.

Moon Si-hyun, due to Wakitete’s low language skills or perhaps he was doing it on purpose, still didn’t quite get the homophones for hacks very well.

“Damn it!! Damn it, you stupid bitch!!”

In the end, Wakitete roared, shouting words that didn’t reach her, as he pounded on the keyboard again.
