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

---

A few hours after starting the lecture on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

“Now, do you understand why Xinyang is important?”

Even though I turned on the broadcast in the evening, it wasn’t until deep into the night that I activated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game again.

Once my adrenaline kicked in, I got a little too excited and explained quite a bit.

Still, I think it was a beneficial time learning about history.

– Yes…

– Is it finally over?

– Wow, I really dozed off listening to this.

“Now you see why I want to pursue this scenario, right?”

– Gotta save Guan Yu!

– Protect the Three Kingdoms hot pot at all costs!

– Xinyang really is important, huh?

“Very good.”

You learned well! Since I provided the lecture from Liu Bei’s perspective, you must have understood the significance of Guan Yu and Xinyang.

And you likely felt the weight of the importance of the Xinyang defense battle that would determine their fate.

“Alright, let’s start the game.”

Though it’s a bit late, wasn’t that the reason I explained things—to play the game?

I can’t just leave without playing.

[Thank you, 10,000 won donation, anonymous!]

Wait, are you saying I should listen to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lecture and also watch the game?

– No way!

– Goodbye, haha!

– Not going far, haha!

– Loyal minister, haha!

“10,000 won? I’ll let it slide this time.”

If it had been a 1,000 won donation, I would have punished you, but since it’s 10,000 won, I’ll overlook it.

And what’s this? You listened to the lecture on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and are pretending not to enjoy it?

– ???

– Seriously?

– Can I curse since it’s 10,000 won?

“Hey, this is just a one-time pass. Now, let’s try the game!”

The scenario I picked, as mentioned in the broadcast, is the Xinyang defense battle.

Among it, I plan to start as a low-ranking officer under Guan Yu’s direct troop.

“Let’s see if we can charge ahead and save Guan Yu!”

– Ahh!

– You’re actually doing this!

– Can’t you do this kind of broadcast regularly??

“Alright, everyone, focus on the game.”

And so, the game began.

I found myself inside a barracks.

Let’s see, was this the moment when Guan Yu was attacking?

I believe we are currently besieging a city.

“Wow.”

Whether or not my thoughts were correct, going outside revealed a plethora of soldiers surrounding a castle.

– Whoa!

– The game graphics are hilarious!

– Why is Romance of the Three Kingdoms made with this technology?

“Is there a Zhang Jiao in there?”

If I recall correctly, isn’t that the castle guarded by Zhang Jiao? This feels a bit intense.

Zhang Jiao is the commander of Cao Cao’s army after all.

But with the greatest commander of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, on our side, I have nothing to worry about.

– What?

– You know more than us, don’t you?

– What if the teacher doesn’t know?

“Hmm, he’s probably there.”

Saying that, I began to wander outside the barracks.

As a low-ranking officer, I should be doing some small errands to build my influence before a major battle begins.

“I can’t believe a general who once ruled the world is now reduced to doing errands…”

– There was a time like that, huh…

– Those were fun times with Kong Songchan.

– But isn’t he gone in this era?

“Kong Songchan has long been dead in this timeline.”

Long ago, Kong Songchan perished in the flames of rebellion.

Now we’re fighting against Yuan Shao, who captured Kong Songchan, and Cao Cao’s forces.

“The early warlords from our time have likely all retired by now.”

Now that the world is divided into three parts, aside from the likes of Sima Yi or Kong Songchan, there’s really no one to be found.

– T___T

– Time is meaningless.

– So who is around now??

“Cao Cao is still around. What did I just explain?”

– He’s a traitor! A traitor!

– The one who’ll make heaven rage!

– That bastard Cao Cao!

“Exactly.”

Seeing them react violently at just the mention of Cao Cao shows they’ve been well-trained.

Yes, this is how my viewers should be.

Cao Cao, known for his treachery, is one of the infamous four, along with Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, and Sima Yi.

This time, my main enemy is Cao Cao, so taking his head is my goal.

As for Sima Yi, since he’s just Cao Cao’s subordinate for now, I’ll recruit him if I catch him.

“First, I need to become a general to catch Cao Cao.”

Both are still lofty aspirations for now.

At the moment, I’m just running errands and doing minor tasks.

[A rogue soldier is marauding around the nearby village, so deal with them.]

I just received a mission from an unknown general.

“Deal with the bandits, then.”

In this era, rogue soldiers are akin to bandits, so this is like a slightly tougher bandit cleanup task.

– D:

– Isn’t that dangerous??

“I’ll get soldiers to come along; we’ll handle it together.”

Even though I’m a low-ranking officer, I am an aide.

I have the power to lead soldiers.

So, I gathered some troops and started venturing out to deal with the bandits.

“Everyone, charge!”

[Hooray!]

My main role is to command.

I mostly watch the infantry fight from horseback.

– Aren’t you fighting??

– Spectator commander, haha!

– The soldiers are dying! Shouldn’t you fight?

“This is how I gain experience.”

If I don’t fight, the soldiers can gain experience.

As for me? Well, I already have all my stats maxed out from the get-go, so I really don’t need to level up, and it’s too bothersome to fight now.

Fighting directly is something I’ve done once or twice.

At this point, I’d rather delegate anything smaller than a major battle.

“I guess I’m getting old too…”

– ???

– If you’re old, what does that make the rest of us?

– Mid-20s is a cutoff age for sure…

“If you think I’m old, then please leave.”

– Hahaha!

– Scratch that?

– Miro is getting old too, huh?

“Not at all!”

Come on, I’m definitely not old enough to be scratched yet.

I probably won’t be scratched until my late 20s, right?

…Maybe I’ll start to be once I hit my 30s.

Anyway, I’m taking down bandits with my soldiers.

“This one looks somewhat useful.”

– For real?

– They’re pretty big!

– Seems alright?

If I come across a bandit I like, I beat them a bit to get them to obey me and then recruit them into my ranks.

As I keep going in circles, building my recognition and gathering subordinates, I eventually…

[Are you Miro?]

This opportunity gives me a chance to meet Guan Yu directly.

– What a weird name, haha!

– Wow, just look at Guan Yu’s size, haha!

– He really looks super strong!

“I’ve finally met you. Now, I need to raise our intimacy so I can receive his daughter.”

– Haha! Got to get that daughter!

– If it’s Guan Yu’s daughter, does that mean I’m getting Guan Yu’s protection?

– Does Guan Yu even have a daughter?

“Turns out they just create a fictional character to give you.”

Even if it’s realistic, it’s still a game, so they give you a daughter for convenience.

Besides, depending on the officer giving it, the daughter can have pretty decent stats, so having her can be useful.

– How many daughters can I receive?

– I’ll just gather them all for a harem through Guan Yu!

“Ah, if it’s through Guan Yu, I’m not sure how many others I can meet.”

While I’ll see plenty of Guan Yu, as for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei…

To see those two, I need to defend Xinyang first.

[To you, I have a mission…]

Here, the doom of the sworn brothers under the peach tree begins with the death of Guan Yu.

That’s why I started this scenario—to prevent that from happening.

Let’s see if I can change history.

*

On a rainy midsummer day.

[The enemies are approaching!]

[Everyone, prepare your positions!]

At last, one of the most crucial battles of the Xinyang defense war, the Battle of the City, has begun.

Initially, we were in the position to attack the city, but now we’re preparing to defend against Wu Gong and his 30,000 troops, who are coming as reinforcements.

“You know Wu Gong, right?”

– Yeah, of course!

– Isn’t he the commander of the Qingzhou army?

– One of the treacherous four, Wu Gong, whoo!

– They say he is a famous commander in Cao Cao’s army!

“That’s right. You all remember?”

I had previously mentioned Wu Gong in my Romance of the Three Kingdoms lecture, and it was effective since the viewers were familiar with him.

– With 30,000 soldiers under Wu Gong, this could be dangerous!

– Zhang Jiao is going to emerge from the city, right?

– Isn’t this a major crisis? Why are we so relaxed?

“Yes, and Wu Gong’s deputy is Bang De.”

– Oh?

– Who’s Bang De?

– The treacherous four’s Bang De, whoo!

– Wow, Bang De! (Whoever that is)

“Oh, did I fail to explain Bang De properly?”

While I’m giving brief explanations about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, perhaps due to focusing mainly on Liu Bei, many viewers didn’t know who Bang De was.

…But it seems there really have been a lot of new viewers lately.

Back when I was seriously into Romance of the Three Kingdoms about 1-2 years ago, just seeing a general’s name would ring a bell instantly.

“I’m talking about a super strong general. A Tier-1 kind.”

– For real??

– Aren’t we done for???

– This is a critical situation!

“Be careful of your language if you just cussed. Well, this is indeed an emergency.”

The renowned general Wu Gong with 30,000 soldiers, plus the greatest general of Cao Cao, Zhang Jiao, is preparing to emerge from the city for the siege.

Normally, this would genuinely be a massive problem, but I feel unfazed.

Because I know history.

Is this what it feels like to be the main character of a plot twist?

While everyone’s taking the battle seriously, I casually climbed up onto a makeshift temporary rampart and simply observed the surroundings.

– Aren’t you going to prepare for battle??

– Why are you just slacking off, haha?

– You should be beefing up your gear before the fight!

A few viewers who don’t know the history began questioning my behavior.

Hmm, I see the wisdom in not explaining the Xinyang defense battle in detail after all.

“This battle, you don’t need to worry about.”

– Why not??

– Isn’t it like super intense?

– You’re not overreacting?

“The heavens seem to be angry with those treacherous bastards.”

Saying that, I looked up at the sky.

Truly, it was pouring down rain, like there was a hole in the sky.

– ???

– Haha!

– What’s up??

– This is classic!

Our esteemed Guan Yu must have prepared thoroughly for the summer monsoon season.

I wonder how confused the enemies unfamiliar with Xinyang are.

[Prepare for battle, everyone!]

[They’ll be here soon!]

Voices frantic with urgency echoed around me, unlike my relaxed demeanor.

Following that sound, I lowered my gaze and saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance.

“It looks like the time has come.”

Nonchalantly, I watched Wu Gong, Bang De, and 30,000 soldiers approach.

Soon…

The moment for the military god to arise will come.
