NOVEL NEXT Chapter 405
[What’s up with Miro’s half-cam? LOL]
(Broadcast screen capture)
Seriously, Buhwang is the real deal for Miro.
– ?? Is the cam really on?
ㄴ Yeah, yeah LOL. He turned it on because he said just watching guitar practice was boring.
ㄴ Haha LOL.
[Miro looks pretty even without showing her face, just wearing pajamas LOL]
(Broadcast screen capture)
She’s on another level.
– Is it that much?
ㄴ Yeah, seriously, just looking at her wrists makes her beautiful.
ㄴ I think it’s because I know what her face looks like. Imagining Miro’s face makes everything seem pretty.
– Look at how the chat’s vibes have improved LOL.
[Miro’s broadcast is hilarious LOL]
Miro is strumming her guitar like crazy, but the chat is only talking about the cam LOL.
– It’s an exceptional case, then LOL.
ㄴ For real, Miro’s cam is rare.
ㄴ But isn’t it a face we already know? Do we need it?
ㄴ Knowing her face is actually scarier, yeah. Everyone saw she won the lottery, right?
[So does this mean she’ll turn on half-cam for every guitar broadcast now?]
Then that’s a huge benefit LOL.
– For real, this is a winning business LOL.
– But seriously, wouldn’t it blow up if she just closed her eyes and went full-cam? The viewer count would skyrocket.
ㄴ It already feels like it’s about to explode LOL.
ㄴ If Miro goes full-cam, Dwitch would be annihilated LOL.
– Do you think Miro will keep turning it on? Maybe she’ll just turn it on once to soothe the vibes and stay quiet after that LOL.
ㄴ That seems about right.
ㄴ This dude is quite knowledgeable about it LOL.
[How to enjoy Miro’s half-cam broadcast twice as much]
(Monitor screen photo)
Just put Kim Soo-hyun’s face on Miro’s half-cam.
– Haha LOL.
– This is fun!
– That dude’s face is for real…
[But how on earth did Miro end up with this look? LOL]
No matter how you look at it, she seems like she could easily marry a chaebol after living as a popular celebrity LOL.
Being possessed by the evil spirit from Romance of the Three Kingdoms…
– She’s already a popular celebrity LOL.
ㄴ Oh, that’s true LOL.
– Thanks to that, she’s doing broadcasts LOL.
– What a combo, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms-licensed Vtuber!
ㄴ For real LOL. And she’s in her early 20s, what the heck?!
– She probably will end up marrying a famous actor.
ㄴ Wow.
[Buhwang’s viewer count]
(Dwitch upper capture)
‘Overwhelming #1’
– Wow LOL.
– Why is Buhwang #1 with a cam?
ㄴ Ah LOL.
ㄴ ‘Buhwang is a Vtuber whose real-life self is better than his character.’
ㄴ Now that’s Buhwang LOL.
[Miro: I’ll do a song broadcast after the guitar practice]
Why’s this happening??
– Is this for real?
ㄴ Yeah, no fabrication.
ㄴ Wow.
– Is today some kind of holiday? It feels like a feast.
ㄴ For real, I feel so reassured.
– Miro really knows how to manage the vibes LOL.
[Miro, but she’s really consistent with Minecraft]
Honestly, I thought she’d abandon it after a week.
– At least the Red Hare prolongs it for about a month.
ㄴ That’s for real.
ㄴ I feel like she’ll finish after catching the whale.
– I hope she keeps playing Minecraft since it’s her strong suit.
ㄴ That’s true LOL. She frequently broadcasts, which is fun to watch.
ㄴ Better than those annoying games LOL.
ㄴ Damn, damn, damn LOL.
[Miro fishing but the corridor is empty, which is funny LOL]
This used to be a decent fishing spot.
– Miro’s hunting ground LOL.
– Streamers fish in a cramped pond.
ㄴ For real, it’s pitiful LOL.
[Miro singing, wow]
It’s been a while since I heard her, and she’s really good.
– There’s a reason she held a concert.
– If it’s Miro, isn’t she the top of the Celestial Realm in singing?
ㄴ It wasn’t true back then, but now it probably is.
ㄴ Was it not before?
ㄴ It wasn’t in Season 1; back then among first-generation singers, she was in the lower tier, LOL.
ㄴ ?? For real??
ㄴ This dude just got here LOL. Didn’t he know this?
– Miro wouldn’t have been active as a singer without reason.
ㄴ For real, she’s on another level.
[Miro would also fit well as a musical actress]
Her singing, acting, and looks are all top-notch. Doesn’t this just scream musical actress talent?
– She’d nail it for sure LOL.
– You’re saying musical actresses are worthless??
ㄴ For Miro’s level, it’s doable LOL. Anna did it too.
ㄴ Wow, Anna was a musical actress.
ㄴ It seems like she could get some industry introductions from Anna.
– I seriously recognize her looks, but her singing and acting are not top-notch;
ㄴ At her age, she’s really good LOL.
ㄴ Meanwhile, those looks are undeniable LOL.
[Meanwhile, Anna LOL]
(Anna screen)
She’s secretly eavesdropping on Miro’s song LOL.
– This frame is hilarious LOL.
– Miro kept the mic on.
ㄴ Yeah, since the sound is loud, everyone can hear it LOL.
[The second guest enters LOL]
They heard the sound and sat next to Anna LOL.
– How do they get in??
ㄴ They can hear the sound all the way to the corridor entrance.
ㄴ Ah LOL. How loud is the sound?
[Hey, why are more people showing up?]
Is this even a concert? LOL.
– Miro still hasn’t noticed LOL.
– All the server streamers are coming in now.
– Seriously, it feels like they’re under a spell.
[What’s funny about these dudes is]
They’re unsure if this is right… but once they see Anna, they settle into their seats LOL.
– Ah LOL. As long as she’s here, it’s fine LOL.
– Anna does feel pretty reassuring.
ㄴ Celestial Realm elder LOL.
[What a view]
(From a streamer’s viewpoint up in the tree)
This is legendary LOL.
– Wow LOL.
– It’s exhilarating.
– This dude is a total superstar, right?
– Wow, it looks just like a movie LOL.
– For real, it’s legendary…
[Miro’s flustered reaction LOL]
She’s just starting to look back now LOL.
– The streamers’ cheers are out of this world.
ㄴ I genuinely thought I was at a concert.
– Miro seems really flustered LOL.
– This is definitely going down in history today.
ㄴ For real, it’ll be talked about for a while LOL.
[In real-time, Miro runs away…]
(It’s a clip of Miro dropping the stream)
She seriously looks like she ran away out of embarrassment LOL.
– Ah LOL.
– Did Miro really not know??
ㄴ Yeah, LOL. Judging by her reaction, she really seems clueless.
– Aww… that confusion is kind of cute.
– Today was truly delicious fun.
ㄴ For real, that was incredibly exciting.
[But looking at things today, Miro really is on another level]
No wonder she’s a singer.
– For real.
– Someone like Miro really is a singer LOL.
– There’s an undeniable gap between the regular streamers and her.
[Miro truly seems like a perfectly rounded six-sided entertainer, right?]
She has the looks, acting, singing, and charm, without any controversies. This dude is definitely a superstar.
– But her job is a Vtuber and her hobby is playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms games.
ㄴ LOL.
ㄴ Wow, that’s a harsh reality LOL.
– No wonder Moon Chang-sik notices her.
ㄴ Damn.
ㄴ This dude needs to get banned.
**
I decided to collaborate with the composer on a new song.
What does that mean?
“Have you practiced everything?”
“Ho ho, it’s perfect.”
So it’s time to start the actual recording.
The last time I sang was just a casual run-through, but now we need to record for the music release.
Still, now… I’m used to it. I’ve recorded with the composer so many times already.
“Alright, then go into the recording studio.”
“Yes.”
I’ve really just been practicing day in and day out these past few days.
During schedule transitions and while at home, I was belting it out so much.
I practiced so hard that even Park Kang-seok, who was driving, memorized the lyrics.
…Thinking back to the whole drive with the same song, I do feel a bit sorry about that.
Anyway, I’ve practiced enough to make sure those around me suffer, so I feel confident.
[Let’s get started.]
“Whenever you’re ready.”
With that, I entered the recording studio and began the recording.
Back then, I would probably have spent half a day just recording and getting feedback from the composer while getting hit on the head…
[…That’s good, well done.]
“…Haha, it’s finally over…”
…The grown-up me finished the recording in just 4 hours.
No, um, it was hard.
It’s easy to just sing along, but singing is a form of what? Similar to acting.
You must pour your sincere soul into the song.
“Phew… that was tiring.”
“Should we order dinner soon?”
“Oh yes, that will be appreciated.”
I came in early afternoon, but by the time we wrapped up the recording, it had turned into dinner time.
…Time really flies by.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Just order anything.”
Saying that, I went out to the lobby with the composer.
As I plopped down at the central table in the lobby as usual…
“What’s this?”
There’s a piled-up bundle of papers on the table, flipped over.
What is this? Did I even see this when I came in?
“Oh, that? I picked it up earlier.”
“Is there a printer here?”
“Huh? It’s in the back.”
Whoa… This is totally a company.
The space is spacious, and they seemingly have everything.
“This workshop is really nice.”
“It cost a bit.”
“Oh….”
The composer, who rakes in royalties that are several times others’ salaries monthly, saying that makes sense.
After all, he’s occupying an entire floor in this downtown building, so it must be quite pricey, comparable to a regular company office.
“Do you really use such a large space all by yourself?”
I said while sipping on the drink I received earlier.
After about four hours of recording, my throat definitely felt parched.
“Hmm, I’ll be adding two people soon.”
“Eh?”
At the unexpected reply from the composer, my eyes widened in surprise.
“Who? No wait, two people?!”
Didn’t they always work alone? Sudden newcomers caught me totally off guard.
“Yeah, I’ll be giving Jeong-hoon and Kang-jun each a room.”
“Oh, I see.”
However, hearing the lineup made sense.
Jeong-hoon is his son, and Lee Kang-jun is the composer’s protégé, right?
It would be great to have them around.
“By the way, what are those two up to these days?”
More importantly, Jeong-hoon and Kang-jun.
I hardly see them lately.
They hardly show up in our group chat, making me wonder how they’re living.
“I’m teaching both of them right now.”
“Oh, really?”
“I’m keeping them both under my wing to utilize them.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
It’s called mentoring, but it’s practically like being their direct supervisor, isn’t it?
Considering their ages, they might end up becoming great composers later on.
Just by staying put, the status of the Miro Family is gradually rising.
Anyway, to return to the initial topic.
“But what about this paper?”
I pointed to the bundle of papers on the table that led me to ask this question.
I’m curious, but it could be important documents, so I didn’t touch it.
“Oh, that? It’s a schedule for the music programs.”
“Huh? Music programs?”
The composer, who casually replied, slid the bundle of papers over to me.
“Yeah, just let me know your available schedule from this.”
“Oh, I see. It’s for me.”
So this is a schedule for the music programs I can participate in.
…?
“Huh? I’m supposed to pick from this?”
I’m now somewhat part of the entertainment scene.
Given that, I know how busy broadcasting station programs can be, but can I really select from this many programs?
This really sounds absurd; it’s something you’d expect only from a major agency…
“Yeah, well, I happen to have some connections with the music program PDs. They said they’ll approve everything since it’s for promoting a highly anticipated new song.”
“…Wow.”
Once again, I realize this.
Every time, the composer surprises me.
How strong is this person, really?
Honestly, I’ve built quite a few connections, but it looks like the composer is undoubtedly my top contact.
