Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

The last meeting helped sketch out the basic framework for two songs.

Since then, the Discord and chat room have been quite vibrant, considering the small number of participants, so I’m not worried.

I’m just relieved to see the team is functioning, albeit slowly with Jeong-hoon, yet Lee Kang-jun and Lee Seo-yeon are doing well to support him, so there’s no need for concern.

So, as the leader of the Miro Family, what should I be doing?

“Ah, can you hear me?”

-Yes, yes

-I can hear you

-What are we doing today?

Well, we have to broadcast today as well.

Even if I want to hold a concert, I must remain dedicated to my main job.

After all, if I hold a concert, there need to be viewers willing to attend, right?

“Today, um…”

As I replied to the viewers’ chat, I leaned back in my chair.

Correspondingly, the character on the stream screen also slouched back.

-???

-??

-What’s going on??

“Oh, it’s just that there’s nothing planned for today.”

I mean, I had to start the broadcast, but no matter how hard I tried to think, I couldn’t come up with anything to do today.

“I’m sorry to say….”

Oh? I’ve been streaming diligently lately.

Mostly, I’ve browsed cafés for potential composers, but I’ve still gamed a lot in between.

So, yeah.

“Let’s do a bit of a freebie.”

With that, I completely let go of the mouse in my hand and just half-lay back.

Honestly, I felt utterly devoid of any pride as a broadcaster.

-LOL

-Shit, you’re so confident I can’t even curse at you, LOL

-You fool

-Just start broadcasting already

“Uh, um, I’ll open the video donations.”

Still, I won’t do absolutely nothing; I’ve brought one of my ideas.

-For real??

-Is this serious??

“Yes, I was curious about it.”

Video donation.

It’s a term shortened from video donation, meaning that viewers can pay a certain amount to play YouTube videos on the broadcast.

From what I see, other broadcasters have been getting viewers to play them, and I was curious about how it would go.

“However, be careful because if you send something strange, I’ll ban you immediately.”

-That’s perfect, LOL

-You’re the one who opened it?

-Don’t say something else later, LOL

“You’re about to get your second ban today.”

Seeing how excited everyone is, the once tumultuous viewer sentiment has now skyrocketed to the skies.

“Hey, just keep yourselves in check.”

It worries me a bit, but who would send something strange?

If they do, I can just skip it.

Besides, these days there have been fewer troublemakers.

Even if there is one, they wouldn’t spend money just to send a video that could get them banned in an instant.

They’d rather buy something tasty with that money.

So, as I got comfortable and started the video donation, a video popped up right away.

[Thank you for the 5,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ님!]

(Video)

A familiar background and a familiar face singing in the video.

Right, it’s the music video for my song “Turning Point.”

*Click.*

The moment I recognized it was the “Turning Point” music video, I abruptly turned it off.

-What was that?

-Why did you turn it off???

-Isn’t it just a music video?

“Oh, I accidentally pressed the wrong button.”

Then I hit the temporary ban button too.

-Why did you ban them??

-???

“Oh, the username was just bad.”

I casually indicated the name.

Something along the lines of the elderly community center Miro, so the chat easily comprehended.

-Ah, haha

-That’s totally ban-worthy, right??

-LOL, as long as it’s not me

“Let’s see the next one.”

The next video turned out to be a movie highlight.

The thought of copyright crossed my mind, but… it’s fine as long as I don’t use it on YouTube, right?

As long as I delete the replay, it’s all good.

Anyway, since today’s content is for the live broadcast, I was ready to watch comfortably, but something felt familiar.

Isn’t that Moon Chang-sik?

Wow, he’s handsome…

*Click.*

“Whoa, another mistake.”

As a familiar recording studio background appeared next, I immediately turned off the video.

-Why’d you turn this off??

-It’s a scene with actor Kim Soo-hyun;;

-If you’re doing this, why did you even open the video donation?

And I searched for the username once more to hit the temp ban.

-This person has a decent username, though??

-I’m scared ㅜㅜ

-Why did you get banned?

“It’s just my preference.”

-Oh dear

“Is this the kind of stream we’re having??”

Hmm…

“*Sigh.*”

Look at them.

The moment I opened the video donations, this is what happens.

“This can’t keep going like this.”

Truthfully, I was hoping to take it easy, but if it’s like this, I can’t do this content.

Well, there might be other casual streams.

With that, I decided to turn on a familiar game.

“Forget about the video donation, I’m not doing it. I misjudged this.”

-Ah

-My bad

-What? This is ridiculous

[Thank you for the 10,000 won donation, ㅇㅇ님!]

Miro, can we ban all the troublemakers and continue the content??? Please

-For real…

-Let’s ban the troublemakers, right?

-Tsk… What’s the point of doing that if it’s not fun…

*Exhales…* “This time, just once.”

Well, I didn’t mean to say I’d outright not do it, so I powered off the game and reopened the video donations.

Thanks to the warning, thankfully, the next video was a bit more normal.

Well, normal is relative, but rather it was just short clips of the Celestial Realm members.

Gameplay highlights or cute moments?

The highlights were enjoyable, but the cute moments, to be honest… were a bit hard to watch.

“Oh boy.”

Especially Maho’s cute punishment moment made me cringe a little.

…It’s not that I dislike Maho, but since I’ve seen her usually behaved, it’s just a bit off-putting.

The same goes for other members.

How should I put this?

It feels like watching a friend’s business, doesn’t it?

Since I’ve met them often, it feels no different.

-LOLLL

-Are you sure you don’t hate her?

-Don’t hate on your classmates, please;;

“Nononono, that’s not it. It’s great. So cute!”

There’s no way I’d hate my peers.

Huh? Classmate love and patriotism, right?

As the clips of the members streamed by, inevitably, my own broadcast clips came up too.

I wondered how there could be such short edits of my broadcast on YouTube…

“Ugh… please don’t send my videos.”

Seeing my own face on the videos made me feel really shy.

I’m someone who doesn’t even check my YouTube channel.

Hearing back the words I casually dropped back then embarrasses me.

-LOLOLOL

-Embarrassed??

-Should have been careful with your words

“That’s not it…”

Well, there weren’t any major statements, but seeing the clipped edits feels like I do have some karma to face.

“Anyways, that’s banned.”

With that, once I banned my clips, the next set of clips were animation videos.

No surprise there, since none of them seemed to stray far from the clichés of anime enthusiasts.

“Wow, animations have really stepped up lately.”

The highlight battle scenes were impressive quality.

What’s… oh…

It used to be that animation was just coloring and moving drawings, but now it’s completely surpassed the original.

It’s astonishing.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched manga or animations; maybe I should catch up?

With that kind of level, I feel confident I could watch it entranced.

-That one’s funny

-Let’s do a viewing session later, okay?

“Oh, should we do that?”

Thinking about streaming my reactions would be interesting.

After marveling at how a character, whether a protagonist or villain, wiped a city from existence in the highlight, another animation video came up.

Earlier it was a high-quality action animation, and now it seemed to be everyday life?

Cute girls with adorable art styles appeared…

“…This feels off.”

-LOLOL

-This seems a bit too much, doesn’t it? ㅜㅜㅠ

-You crazy guys, LOL

The vibes are pretty deep.

Even I feel out of place watching this.

“Alright, the person who sent this video is… Kim O-jun?

And I noticed the sender’s name is in real life.

Look at this.

-LOLOLOLOL

-Ojun the Gay, LOL

-You really exposed that

“Mr. O-jun, I understand your taste but please don’t send videos like that next time~”

That being said lightly, I watched the incoming videos lazily.

After a bunch of animations, a diverse collection of videos followed.

You know, the type of humor videos everyone’s seen at least once.

Watching those in a relaxed posture made me yawn a little.

“Yawn…”

It’s nighttime too.

Just watching videos empty-headed makes me sleepy.

I can’t afford to doze off while streaming, so I must stay somewhat aware, but it’s a bit difficult with how comfortable I am.

“Hmm… nice…”

-What is it?

-Wake up

—Hey, why are your eyes closing? LOL

-Dude, you’re sleepy, LOL

“Uh, no… I’m not sleeping…”

With gradually drooping eyes, I was honestly slightly dozing off while watching the videos.

After a cute puppy video ended, the next clip was different from the previous ones.

A red background appeared once, followed by a blue one.

And then a suited man…

A man?

“Oh crap.”

Isn’t this insane?

I hastily corrected my posture and quickly turned off the screen.

My senses were jolted awake.

“…I’ll ban the person who sent that political video now.”

That really woke me up.

I almost got my broadcast terminated.

So, I fully regained my focus and banned the person who donated that weird video.

-LOLOLOL

-Miro, which side are you on?

-Um… I see your character’s a bit on the right side…

“Whoa.”

In a rush to shield the character from the chat seeing it, I quickly positioned it to the center.

“Is this alright now?”

-The hair color’s a bit…

-Isn’t it red?

“Clearly, that’s pink, isn’t it?”

-Hmm… maybe?

-Red? Pink, isn’t it?

-Whoa, the character shifted left now…

“*Sigh.*”

These people… are they seriously gonna bring this up?

I know nothing about politics.

It’s not something I brag about, but I haven’t voted in any election.

“Taking it down this path is troublesome.”

I’ve already bought a lot of Celestial Realm stocks.

If I were to take a nosedive, those stocks I bought at the peak would be worthless.

“Instead of sending stuff like this, send those cutesy donations you did earlier.”

-???

-Are videos of your classmates and juniors cutesy donations??

-Miro/Controversy

“…I won’t deny that.”

Being a VTuber isn’t exactly mainstream culture, you know?

“I, too, am just an otaku like all of you, so let’s get along.”

-Are you really an otaku?

-I’m starting to have my doubts now;;

-Are you just a trendy person instead?

“Whoa, these new entries…”

At first, I was a person who had a good slice of the otaku pie.

“I bet I won’t lose to you in terms of knowledge! Send me video links. I’ll guess what anime it is.”

I may not be confident about the latest animations, but I am proud of my broad spectrum of knowledge.

-GG

-Come at me

-How about putting up a stake?

“Come at me all you want.”

With that, unexpectedly, a quiz show began.

A quiz show on niche anime topics that ordinary people wouldn’t understand, in fact.
