I am Smart

“……”

Moon Si-hyun’s silence continued for a while.

The virtual model wearing a bear doll costume stood frozen, her head slightly bowed.

…… And that made the viewers come to various associations.

―――

Hmm

Haha

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Hmm…

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

What is this? Why is the reaction like this?

Famous ‘Zon-se’ intrusion ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

Gasp

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Is that her, the famous ‘Zon-se’??

―――

The chat window soared quickly upward, non-stop.

―――

Hako Virtual Minor Gallery

―――

– Why is Harris nicknamed ‘Zon-se’?

(Captured photo of Harris’s virtual model)

Aren’t the nicknames of virtual YouTubers usually super cute?

Why on earth did they give such a nickname to this spirited and cute newcomer…?

– For real, aside from what Harris occasionally mentions, don’t they have any connection at all?

– It was just that a cuckoo bird was circling around when Moon Si-hyun was on her period, and Harris hit her in the solar plexus and knocked her down, and that became a hilarious story that solidified the nickname ‘Zon-se’.

By the way, other nickname candidates are ‘Bellis’, ‘Cosmic-machi’.

So, that incident is what led to this? Haha

– Haven’t we seen people giving bizarre nicknames to virtual YouTubers for days now?

– For real, lol, there’s even someone called ‘Boji’!

– What’s that again?

– One virtual YouTuber’s concept is a mouse, but she just happens to have…

– ?

―――

“…… Hmm. Thank you very much for the 50,000 won, Harris.”

Moon Si-hyun lightly cleared her throat, breaking the silence.

At first glance, her voice was smooth and devoid of any peculiarities, as if it were just like usual.

However, followed by her hand fanning herself visible through the rigging of the model and a shallow sigh—

―――

Currently, the bear doll is fully conscious of Harris, lol [5]

It’s all obvious, you idiot, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [7]

―――

…… That showed that she was definitely feeling embarrassed right now.

The viewers’ guesses were, of course, correct.

In fact, Moon Si-hyun’s ears had turned extremely red… and she was fanning herself to cool them down.

And the reason her sensitive face had heated up so much was, of course, because of that day.

– Didn’t you say you liked that?

– …… Hmm.

“……”

– It’s heating up.

The incident that occurred when the VTuber named Harris was mentioned in the chat.

Those words and actions from a few days ago that she had desperately tried to forget, which under normal circumstances she would never say to the viewers.

Of course, it was not Harris’s fault. She was rather the victim.

Thinking like that, Moon Si-hyun tried to continue the conversation.

―――

Harris, who hits Moon Si-hyun in the solar plexus, donated 1,000 won.

Who is Harris?

―――

Who, you ask…?

Nick, damn it.

Superior version of Moon Si-hyun.

Get out.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Someone who sings better and is a more interesting VTuber than Moon Si-hyun, yeah.

Are you crazy?

Better than Moon Si-hyun, she’s just incredible.

Get out.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Don’t start trouble.

This is disastrous;

Do you want to see me shut down the broadcast again?

―――

……. But, while criticizing her donations, they were enjoying themselves.

And in between, there were a few comments that seemed to poke fun at Moon Si-hyun’s feelings.

Of course, it wasn’t that big of a deal now that her mind was clear.

But since they were intertwined with another broadcaster…

“Please don’t say that.”

Moon Si-hyun was taking action against those who crossed the line.

At that moment.

―――

Harris donated 10,000 won.

If I disturbed the broadcast, I’m really sorry…! ㅠㅠ… I’ll be on my way now…

―――

Another donation from Harris came in.

“…… Huh…”

Harris, whose real name is Lee Ye-rim, wrote the donation note with a pained expression.

‘Originally, I’m not this kind of person.’

Does it make a person a bit foolish when their desires are mixed in?
Or are Moon Si-hyun’s viewers just excessively malicious?

The situation continued to drift further away from the direction Harris wanted.

Originally, her intention was to indirectly release some unresolved feelings from an incident with her personally beloved Moon Si-hyun and at the same time express her fan emotions.

However, even that was acted in a way contrary to Harris’s wishes by the viewers… and there were indeed some nicknames filled with true fan feelings for Harris.

―――

Harris donated 10,000 won.

If I disturbed the broadcast, I’m really sorry…! ㅠㅠ… I’ll have to go now…

―――

Harris was startled and wanted to leave with her apologetic donation.
[Ah, no. Harris. Rather, I’m sorry. About that previous incident…]

Moon Si-hyun’s model quickly shook her head in panic.

[Everyone… I don’t mind, but please don’t disturb the other broadcasters. If you do, there will be immediate expulsion.]

And she decisively controlled the chat window in a mature manner.

“……”

Harris’s gloomy expression warmed slightly.

Her kindness, considering others, was one of the many reasons Harris admired her.

The chat window quieted down a bit at Moon Si-hyun’s words.

[And, Harris. If it’s alright, please accept this.]

At that moment, something appeared in the center of the screen.

[You have become the manager of Moon Si-hyun123.]

“Whoa!?”

A manager who can control the broadcast. Commonly known as the ‘Jin-eun-gum.’

That role signifies an implicit camaraderie among broadcasters.

For a moment, Moon Si-hyun asked Harris a few questions.

Whether she could sing well, what kind of broadcasts she usually did.

For Harris, it was unexpectedly a truly delightful moment.

Then.

[By the way, could you tell me your nickname in Fiore?]

[Harris: Ah, I’m Harris <<<< this is it!!]

[Thank you.]

Moon Si-hyun said while browsing her record.

[They say you’re good at games. Isn’t there a 10k damage output? Hmm… Diamond 3, huh?]

While briefly looking at Harris’s ID,

[Hmph.]

She let out a small sound.

“Hmph…!”

‘Your laugh is cute…!’

Harris bounced her feet on the bed.

The broadcast progressed with light chatter.

…… However, the true meaning behind that laughter, slightly different from the surface, was… something only Moon Si-hyun knew this time.

―――

– A collection of Harris’s love for Moon Si-hyun…

Harris’s previous life nickname before becoming active as a Harris.

(Capture)

Moon Si-hyun123

The donation history of Moon Si-hyun123.

And after that ‘solar plexus’ incident, when Moon Si-hyun took a break, the next day she took a break, the day after that she took a break, and the day after that she streamed at a ridiculously low tension for an hour.

Right after that, a donation came in.

This is just a huge fan of Moon Si-hyun…

– No, this is serious love.

ㄴ So what kind of chat did you send with that nickname?

ㄴ Just content of admiration, lol, super wholesome.

ㄴ So it’s probably using the same account then.

ㄴ It must be completely the same personality before streaming.

– No way, with this level, you’d just be a permanent incident.

ㄴ That wording to a girl, damn it;

– Wait, was she that person? I remember seeing donations occasionally.

– At this point, she must have been really sad for being linked like that, lol.

―――

– Moon Si-hyun reaching Grandmaster… reactions from coworkers.clip

{(Cactus’s stream, right after Moon Si-hyun left, while reading the chat window.)

Oh, so… you’re really kind… huh? Si-hyun, you hit Grandmaster? When? Today? Is this real!? Why didn’t you say anything? Hey, San-deng, did Si-hyun just hit Grandmaster today?

What? Really? Hold on…. No, it’s real? Look. (Sends the record site link to Cactus on Discord)

Oh wow…… this is amazing. Isn’t she the first female damage dealer to hit Grandmaster? Well, she really is good. Hey, but is she going to participate in the competition? With Grandmaster damage, isn’t she practically a top contender? …… Right, hey. I was the one who duo partnered with Si-hyun to raise her to Grandmaster rank. …… Aren’t you the one who hit 400 points on her bus? Get out, you jerk.

Pfft…

(Quietly reading the chat)

…… Are our elbows touching? What suddenly is that about? (Bumps elbows) See? Of course, they do. No one wouldn’t. They touch unless they’re a piglet. Hey, San-deng, do yours touch?

Huh? They do? There’s no way they wouldn’t!

Right? There’s no way anyone’s wouldn’t. Oh, is it Aggron? (Looking at the chat) …… Si-hyun? Si-hyun doesn’t touch? You want to see her elbow bump? What does that even mean? (Starts typing)}

– What was the last part about?

– Why did it cut off here, damn it.

– I don’t know the Grandmaster reaction, but bring me the elbow bump video reaction, haha.

ㄴ There’s nothing to it, lol, San-deng quietly left Discord, while Cactus was making the same expression as the squirrel model and when he realized it, while stopping the video, he cursed after seeing San-deng slip out unnoticed.

ㄴ It’s not a big deal, is it?

ㄴ Bring that to me, you jerk!

ㄴ It’s funny even just reading it, lol.

– Not a piglet but a ‘Milk Boy’, so it doesn’t touch…

ㄴ That jerk Cactus must be repenting after what he just said, lol.

ㄴ Right, still saying it without any filtering.

ㄴ It’s only because it’s Moon Si-hyun that it’s so forgiving. It originally wouldn’t fit well with ladies.

ㄴ Thank goodness it was just a curse, or it would have been bad if it were something dirty…

ㄴ For real.

– They brought Moon Si-hyun and fought over these weird things, so it’s natural that there was no time to brag about Grandmaster.

ㄴ For real, lol.

―――

The golden Grandmaster icon.

No matter how many times I see it, it never gets old.

Indeed, it does feel like there’s a connection between the sense of achievement in both gaming and studying.

At that moment, a donation sound rang.

―――

A Demons official donated 10,000 won.

Moon Si-hyun… Have you perhaps received our email reply?

―――

“Email?”

These days, as the broadcasts have grown in scale, there are many donations being made for commercial promotions.

I let out a shallow sigh and replied.

“I don’t read spam mail.”

―――

Is that real or not?

It’s real, Si-hyun…

Wait, you still haven’t read it?

I heard it’s been a while since the email was sent out.

Wow, invited to the Demons??

―――

“Um.”

Was it not that? The reaction in the chat felt a bit different.

Actually, I just made an email for various verifications and input it into Pazzk, so it was simply an inputted email.

I thought about checking it, logged in, and entered after a long time.

“Um?”

―――

DEMONS: Demons competition invitation – Hello. I hope your broadcasting life is always peaceful. We would like to invite influencer Moon Si-hyun from Pazzk to the Demons competition. Detailed information…

In my inbox, there truly was a plausible invitation message.

I stared at it for a moment and then manipulated the screen with my fingers.

[Move to Trash]

What the heck?!
