I am Smart

---

Moon Si-hyun’s sharp voice, which everyone, including Lee Da-ram, was hearing for the first time.

Moon Si-hyun was frozen in place with her mouth still covered.

Lee Da-ram didn’t have the luxury to just pass it off as natural.

After all, even she, who knew little of men, instinctively understood.

That intense voice that Moon Si-hyun just let out was undoubtedly something a man would hear as…

―――

Whoa, what the hell?

Huh?

What is this???

Whoa!

What the hell are you talking about?

Whoa…

What?

What’s going on?

Isn’t that Moon Si-hyun’s voice?

That’s really sexy!

Whoa, I’ve never heard a voice like that before, lol.

Wha…

Lmao…

Thank you for the daily bread, Ms. Squirrel….

What the…

―――

A daughter-making machine or something[6].

Top 1 scene from the Phobos selection, lmaooo[4].

What’s with the female scream, hey Si-hyun[4]?

Thanks, Squirrel[2].

How the hell do you get tickled with a voice like that, lol[7].

Damn, if you poke that way, even a man would be in stitches[5].

Got a moan clip, lol[42].

I’ve heard that women who are ticklish are sensitive there[12].

―――

It was definitely a voice that would very strongly raise primal instincts.

Originally, the level of chat in Squirrel’s broadcasts wasn’t that high.

But recently, with various incidents involving Moon Si-hyun, there has been a significant influx of ‘DC’ viewers, resulting in a little bit higher chat intensity.

And today, with Moon Si-hyun’s wild audience mixing in, this chaos was born.

“… Ah. N-no. You shouldn’t say things like that. No, no~ This isn’t that kind of room. Banned, Da-ram~ Take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale~”

The first to regain her composure, Lee Da-ram quickly gestured to control the chat window.

―――

Phew…

Ha…

Ha

Phew

Ha

Phew

Ha

Phew

―――

At long last, the chat calmed down.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Lee Da-ram now looked at Moon Si-hyun.

Moon Si-hyun was still crouching.

She had both hands over her mouth and was wearing a very confused expression.

Because her reaction and feelings were so different from what she used to be.

After Moon Si-hyun calmed down and stood up, an awkward silence hung in the air. The only sound was the sizzling of braised short ribs.

“S-Sister, I’m sorry… I didn’t think you’d be so ticklish.”

Lee Da-ram managed to speak while gauging Moon Si-hyun’s reaction.

“No, it’s not about being tickled. I was just a bit surprised.”

Moon Si-hyun shook her head, her voice as flat as usual.

―――

Oh, lol.

Hmm…

That’s strange. She was totally unfazed before.

Oh…

I don’t know, but thanks anyway.

So it was just a surprise?

―――

Could it be that going through this series of events matured her a bit? Her voice and tone didn’t seem like her usual bragging.

“Hehe… I’m glad.”

With that, Lee Da-ram felt relief and continued the broadcast.

“Braised short ribs take a bit longer, right? Ah, then can you pass me the knife next to you, sister?”

Lee Da-ram pointed to the knife next to Moon Si-hyun.

– Flinch

“Here it is.”

“Thanks. – Oh! By the way, sister, do you know?”

– Flinch

“Uh, yeah?”

“Braised short ribs—”

And after a bit more time, while they were chatting casually…

“Hey? Sister. Your apron ribbon came undone.”

Lee Da-ram pointed at the ribbon sticking out beside Moon Si-hyun’s side.

– Flinch

“… Um, thanks.”

“…?”

Lee Da-ram tilted her head curiously.

―――

What’s up with her?

Something about her movements seems off…

Why she keeps flinching like that, lol.

―――

It was unmistakably clear to the viewers that there was a discernible awkwardness.

Lee Da-ram watched her for a moment, then looked down at her finger.

A finger, slightly extended, for pointing at something.

Deja vu for the third time.

Lee Da-ram alternated between looking at her own finger and Moon Si-hyun’s.

Unconsciously, she pointed her index finger towards Moon Si-hyun.

– Flinch

“…”

– Flinch

– Step

“Uh.”

In that moment, Moon Si-hyun wrapped her arms around her sides. The calm atmosphere that had just been held shattered instantly as her ears turned red.

Though her mouth held no words, her body was very honest about it.

She hadn’t matured at all.

She had just learned to put on a better show.

“Hmph, didn’t you say you weren’t ticklish?”

Perhaps it was cute, so the slightly mischievous Lee Da-ram lowered her hand and spoke.

Moon Si-hyun, gazing at her with slightly trembling pupils.

“…”

Eventually, Moon Si-hyun averted her eyes from Lee Da-ram’s round gaze.

―――

Why did you lie about not being ticklish? (Real talk, no idea)

Honestly, saying you’re not ticklish, lmao.

I’ve never seen someone get tickled without fingers even reaching, lol.

―――

Moon Si-hyun’s bravado… always gets exposed in an instant.

Time passed with various happenings, and after several dozen minutes, Moon Si-hyun opened the lid of the pot simmering on low.

―――

Whoa!

That looks delicious.

The color is amazing.

So tasty!

Just one bite…

I miss my mom…

―――

– gulp

“… Sister. Can we eat now?”

“Um, just a moment.”

Moon Si-hyun lightly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks.

The piece of meat felt the pressure from the chopsticks, separating softly from both bone and flesh, splitting effortlessly in half.

Moon Si-hyun nodded and took a spoonful of soup to taste.

Before long, a slight smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

“Yeah. We can eat now.”

“Yay!”

Squirrel waved her arms joyfully.

―――

Dashing to the center stage.

Squirrel kept bragging about her cooking skills, but in the end, Moon Si-hyun did everything, lmao.

Damn, I wanna eat too.

The color of the braised short ribs is no joke, ㄷㄷ.

―――

“Ah, Da-ram. Want to try a bite before we set the dishes?”

As Moon Si-hyun spoke, she held a spoon in her opposite hand to the chopsticks.

“Uh? Is that okay?”

“Yeah. Ah.”

“Ah~”

Moon Si-hyun split a piece of meat with her chopsticks, then placed it on the spoon and brought it directly to Lee Da-ram’s mouth.

– Munch munch

Lee Da-ram’s pupils widened in an instant.

“Um! It’s super delicious! Just like the taste my mom used to make!”

Lee Da-ram smiled widely, with a bit of sauce around her mouth as she looked up at Moon Si-hyun.

―――

Totally epic praise, wtf.

To be compared to her mother’s cooking is something else.

―――

“…”

Looking down at her, Moon Si-hyun felt a somewhat indescribable… yet novel feeling.

This feeling was undoubtedly similar to what she felt when she saw the doll.

– Swoosh

“Eh?”

Moon Si-hyun’s hand reached up to Lee Da-ram’s head. And she patted it.

Lee Da-ram was momentarily surprised but then…

“… Hehe.”

―――

Lmao.

Whoa!

How heartwarming.

So cute!

Whoa!

Feed me too, Si-hyun!

Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both of them are so adorable, lol.

This is life…

―――

Damn, Si-hyun and Da-ram with the pat-pat, lmao[5].

Holy hell, that’s way too cute, lmao[3].

―――

… Even if there were different levels of intensity, no viewer looked on disapprovingly at that scene.

Moon Si-hyun was a bit uncertain about being categorized as a VTuber, but Squirrel was definitely a VTuber.

Even among VTubers, Da-ram was a clear ‘deserted island.’ That wasn’t bad, but her viewers secretly craved the deep interactions typical of regular VTuber content, like ‘pat-pat’ with other ‘female’ broadcasters.

But now, showing such moments with Moon Si-hyun, who was also a woman and held good public sentiment among all, viewers were genuinely delighted.

While being patted by Moon Si-hyun, Lee Da-ram took a few more pieces of meat, chewed, and then swallowed.

“I want to pat you too, sister!”

She exclaimed as she raised her arms above Moon Si-hyun’s head.

“No, I’m the older sister here-”

– Tap

As always, Lee Da-ram lightly disregarded Moon Si-hyun’s light protest and placed her hands upon her.

Pazzk Minor Gallery

―――

Earlier, when Squirrel jabbed at the sides, the moment when the Squirrel model poked the waist of the Moon Si-hyun model, capturing the scene, with the tips of the fingers outlined in red.

(Captures of Moon Si-hyun and Lee Da-ram each petting each other, with height differences)

The height difference is noticeable;

her waist seems really thin, and she looks a bit taller.

I’m really curious about Moon Si-hyun’s physical specs.

– There’s a noticeable difference in height, right?

– What’s with that waist, damn.

Isn’t that just poking stiffly at the point of your finger? Lol.

– What’s going on?? Is Moon Si-hyun tall, or is Squirrel small?

– There’s a clear difference, at least in head size.

―――

Wait, based on the virtual models’ height levels, various conjectures floated around, while Lee Da-ram and Moon Si-hyun momentarily forgot they were live streaming.

―――

OoO has sponsored 1,000 won.

Squirrel, do your elbows touch?

―――

“Pfft! So soft—… Huh? Elbows? No, doesn’t anyone not touch…? Ah.”

Lee Da-ram quickly tried it and paused for a moment, then lowered her arms quickly. She glared at the motion capture camera.

Lee Da-ram’s diverse expressions directly transmitted to the viewers through the virtual model.

It was something she would never normally allow, but in this peculiar context, she unconsciously did it.

The assumption that if their elbows touched, the person has small breasts, but if they don’t, that person must have very large breasts, was the type of sponsorship trap Squirrel had often fallen into back in the day. After getting accustomed to broadcasting, it turned into an atmosphere where such sponsorship comments weren’t easily tolerated, and Lee Da-ram had long forgotten about that particular fund trap.

“… Should I go out?”

―――

Gasp.

Hmm.

Lmao.

Banned, I guess.

Whoa!

Whoa!

For now, confirming Squirrel, lol.

―――

Squirrel is small.[5]

She is small…[3].

The model is quite fitting, lol[3].

Actually, I like it this way[5].

No one in reality doesn’t have touching elbows, you hopeless virgins[7].

A subtly awkward atmosphere flowed through the chat.

Lee Da-ram stared at the chat window before saying.

“… Sigh, alright. Anyone who types weird comments will be banned later. Sister, let’s set the dishes now—”

And as she said that, she glanced at where Moon Si-hyun was standing.

– Plop

But the moment she looked at Moon Si-hyun, Lee Da-ram’s movements instantly froze.

Because all the while, Moon Si-hyun had been standing behind her.

“… Um.”

Maybe she was inspired by Lee Da-ram’s words, Moon Si-hyun was vigorously trying to attempt what the donation asked: ‘trying to see if their elbows touch.’

However, unlike Lee Da-ram, it looked exceedingly difficult for Moon Si-hyun to achieve that action.

The reason was, unlike Lee Da-ram, there were two entities placed between her arms.

“…”

Both Lee Da-ram’s and Moon Si-hyun’s eyes and mouths went very, very, extremely wide.

The sight of Moon Si-hyun’s struggle and Lee Da-ram’s expression.

Both those two aspects transmitted through the broadcast in a painfully straightforward manner.
