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

[Miro Winning ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

(The final moment of Miro escaping)

This is it, lol! In the end, she manages to escape.

– That was so nerve-wracking, lol.

Absolutely!

– Wow, she actually got out, lol!

– How did she even manage that, lol?

[As expected, Buhwang dominates the game too]

(Meeting a friendly soldier at the rooftop entrance with Miro)

How is it at this point that she meets a friendly soldier, lol?

– Seriously, I was dumbfounded too, lol.

– Looking at Miro’s expression, she seems super shocked, lol.

[Miro plays the game deliciously]

She’s always stuck with Civilization Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I haven’t seen her much, lol.

– That’s the Buhwang suppressor, for sure.

– I need to collect coupons with Civilization Romance of the Three Kingdoms to explode in other games occasionally.

Damn, it was a coupon system, huh?

– Honestly, those games are worth watching too.

Nope, not really, lol.

[But why did Miro play that game?]

It seems like it’s one of the oldest games Miro played.

Is there even a reason?

– She probably said there’s just no content.

Oh, really? lol.

But it became a legendary pick, lol.

– Maybe there’s a reason? It lasted longer than expected.

– Does Civilization Romance of the Three Kingdoms really have a reason for playing it?

– Ah, lol.

[Miro is amazing though]

(Miro’s collection of advertisements)

Does this chick even sleep? lol. She’s filming all these ad variety shows and occasionally broadcasting too.

– Clearly, Buhwang’s love for broadcasting, lol.

– It doesn’t seem like a joke, it feels like real affection.

– With affection like that, earning money and still broadcasting makes sense, lol.

– Does Buhwang’s dignity look like trash to you?? Miro might keep broadcasting even after getting married.

Damn, that honestly seems probable, lol.

– The husband’s voice would probably be heard occasionally, damn.

– Strangely, the husband’s diction would be precise.

– Uh-huh.

[Miro <— The reason I don’t watch] (A dark silhouette photo) I feel like she’s gonna have a secret wedding without anyone knowing, yeah.. Rather than that kind of mz guy, I’d rather watch something more reliable and mature. - This is delusional, Tom-pyung, lol. - Your master probably wants to marry the most, right?? - For real... - Anna is gradually... - At this point, she kind of has to get married, lol. [Miro, but is she filming that many ads?] I heard from the broadcast that she can stream more often next year. - Isn't she capturing a drama or movie? - Is that so? - For someone like Miro, she would probably keep getting offers. - Wow, I wonder what role she will take this time. - But cognitive dissonance is real, lol. A VTuber filming movies and dramas. - The actor is the one doing VTubing, lol. - Ah. - That makes sense, lol. [Miro <— When she first featured in a song and appeared as a minor in a movie, I thought she’d just do it one or two times, but] It’s surprisingly going better than expected, lol. - I bet even Miro didn’t think it would go this way, lol. - Seriously, it has grown huge, lol. - This girl is just bound to shine someday, yeah... She was bound to be famous. - She does have that face, lol. [Miro, this girl is really born in the right era] (Anna’s photo during her musical actress days) Our Anna would have done everything if she were just born five years later, lol. - If you’re a musical actress, you really can do both, right? - Yeah, so it was possible. - But both have lower stats than Miro. - Uh-huh. - "A bit short of a hexagon." - Fact: Even if Anna was five years younger, she’d still be older than Miro. - Saying she’s old, huh? - Lol. - Suddenly realizing the age difference is massive. - But Big Mom is pretty too, lol. - It’s all because of Miro, my standards are way too high now; she’s the crème de la crème among VTubers. [Has Anna ever been the lead actress or topped the music charts? Yeah, trash.] (Miro’s festival stage photo) Are we talking about becoming the best in the world right now? Me? - Wow, lol. - This is it, lol. - That photo was really well taken. - It's not like Miro became a festival legend for no reason. [But Anna seems really pitiful] The one who cares most for Miro in the celestial realm keeps getting compared and hit here. - Seriously??? - ? - Seems like someone only watching the gallery thinks Miro and an old-timer are in a showdown, lol. - Damn. - Haha, lol. - If you’re jealous, you should have been born like Seo Eun-ha. - Oh, lol. - You really bad people... ** After a long, albeit short survival period, a few days later, I returned to the filming location I had visited before for the drama filming. “Hmm.” “What are you thinking about?” “Oh, nothing.” As I stood looking at the closed school set, memories of surviving the survival game flooded back. A place like this was actually difficult to farm in. Why does Lee Yeon-ah keep staying at this school? The script reveals that Yeon-ah manages to hold out here with her school friends. Given its size, it’s incredibly dangerous. There are many blind spots throughout, and the hallways are perfect for sound to carry. Moreover, the classroom doors are weak... I guess the only advantage could be the spacious area and various survival supplies available? There are still desks and chairs scattered around the school. In the science lab, there are small amounts of chemical supplies, and the infirmary has medical supplies on hand. Of course, food resources can also be procured from the convenience store or cafeteria. And seeing that Yeon-ah carries a baseball bat, it seems there’s a baseball team too. Looking at it this way, isn’t it pretty good? Certainly, you could find plenty of supplies outside, but thinking of taking complete control of the school rather than going out might be a viable option. With such thoughts, I entered the set with a purely survivalist perspective. “Oh, Soo-hyun, you’re early.” “Oh, yes, I thought I’d take a look around.” I came a bit early today. Honestly, it’s because I wanted to rethink the insides, just like I checked outside a bit ago, considering from Yeon-ah's perspective. “Manager, come along.” “Me too?” “Yeah, yeah, since you’re similar in height to Yun-sung, try looking from that perspective.” Kang Yun-sung, who would mainly accompany me in the drama, wasn’t an idol for nothing; he was tall, just like Park Kang-seok. Well, of course, he’s about 1.5 times heavier, but still. Anyway, we wandered around the set of the prepared closed school with Park Kang-seok. Starting from the entrance on the first floor. “What do you think about this glass door?” “What do you mean?” “Do you think it’ll be sturdy? How long do you think it’d hold if locked?” At the beginning of the zombie crisis, it wasn’t locked, so people probably just pushed through it. If locked, can it hold against zombies for a while? “Hmm... I think it would break easily if hit.” “... Not based on your manager’s standards.” Thinking about it, Park Kang-seok would indeed be scary if he turned into a zombie. A muscle-bound man running at you. Is that how someone feels when faced with a wild boar? But from a spectator’s standpoint, it would be quite entertaining. Should I suggest it to the director? Because there’s a special zombie here, so they might as well use it. “Would you like to appear in the drama?” “Pardon?” “I just mentioned it casually.” Anyway, this glass door seems like it wouldn’t hold up well. Would stacking desks and chairs in front of it make it any better? After all, I have some experience as a survivor, right? Recalling those memories, I imagined how Yeon-ah would have survived in this school. The moment the protagonist meets Yeon-ah is quite a while after the zombie crisis has begun. How would they have secured a place in this school with just a few students who survived up to that point? They would’ve had to clear out the zombies inside, and then somehow meld together to make this school a safe haven. The character sheet I received for Yeon-ah didn’t have much written about that process. Well, that’s natural since she’s a minor supporting character for an episode. Still, isn’t it the actor’s job to fill in such details? After surveying the entrance, I continued exploring. “How about here? If you were a student, do you think you could jump between classrooms?” I even checked if I could confirm passing through to the next classroom via the window after entering one. “Here, let me lock this door, and you try your hardest to open it.” I tested various objects and their strengths. Crack! “It opens easily.” “... Thank goodness this is a closed school.” Well, Park Kang-seok wasn’t much help. This person really can’t turn into a zombie. “Still, an average student wouldn’t be able to open it.” “Of course, they wouldn’t.” Afterward, I made my way to the rooftop, continuing to wander around. What’s the structure like? Where can I go once I descend from here? Where should I set traps to trip external marauders? Which paths should I block to establish flow? I pondered these and wandered around inspecting until I felt I grasped the reasoning behind choosing this school as a safe haven. “This place is better than I thought.” “Really?” “Yeah, there’s a reason Yeon-ah picked it.” Anyway, after thoroughly inspecting the school. “Soo-hyun, I heard you explored the set, right?” When returning to the filming area that was being prepared later, I met the director. “Oh yes, I looked from Yeon-ah’s perspective.” “From Yeon-ah’s perspective?” “Since it’s where Yeon-ah continues to survive after everything, I thought about why she would choose this place as a base.” “Oh... Did you gain any insights?” “Yes, there’s a reason she established it as a base.” Initially, I thought it was just due to being accustomed to school and the fear of going outside being too dangerous. But upon closer examination, this place turns out to be hard to beat as a fallback. “May I ask what that reason is?” “Well, first of all…” Seeing the director seemed curious about that reason, I shared my thoughts regarding why Yeon-ah sees this as a base. Although I didn’t have to mention the obvious things like the abundance of survival supplies. The advantage of being well-acquainted with the school after a few years, the potential companionship with others who might join later, or even potential rescue routes leading to the rooftop. Honestly, I felt I might have overshared to the point it felt like TMI. Still, I wanted to boast to others that I figured this much out. “Oh... I see. Ah, that’s certainly…” Watching the director’s serious reaction made me think I’d spoken a bit too much. In any case, after having thoroughly expressed my considerations from Yeon-ah’s perspective. “But.” “Yes?” “Why do you think Soo-hyun interpreted Yeon-ah as someone who aimed to form a group? She waits for friends at school and attempts to gather as many people as possible.” This time, the director unexpectedly questioned my interpretation of Yeon-ah. “Hmm, a group?” “Yeah, bringing people together increases the risk of collapse, and dangerous outsiders might come in, but it seems you think Yeon-ah has some depth of thought beyond just being a high school student.” Well, in a zombie apocalypse, you can’t trust anyone. That’s something I’ve deeply felt myself. Still, I realized something about that notion. “In the end, you can’t achieve anything with just a few people. It’s a world full of variables.” “There are a lot of variables, huh…” “When you fall, there must be someone to lift you up, so taking risks was accepted.” Everyone tends to stumble at one point. In a zombie apocalypse, that stumble can be fatal, but at the end of the day, one must believe in the shining goodwill amidst countless evils. “…That does seem to make sense.” “Is my explanation lacking? I can elaborate further.” Of course, since the director might not be convinced. I stood in front of the director and poured out my ideas and thoughts thoroughly. The director seemed to appreciate my response, and we ended up discussing for quite a while, but to summarize… “Ultimately, surviving alone has its limits.” In this zombie apocalypse world, surviving alone is like peeing on one leg or injecting nourishment in a dying person. It doesn’t solve the fundamental issues. “This is all I have to say. Did I keep you too long?” “No, it was a really good time.” I realized I got carried away and spoke a bit too much. We were about to shoot soon, and I felt I had taken the director’s time unnecessarily. But anyway, now it was really time to shoot. “Then I’ll head to the costume room.” It’s time for me to change from Kim Soo-hyun back into high school girl Lee Yeon-ah. I needed to go to the costume room to get changed. “Oh, Soo-hyun.” Just then, the director called out to me. “Yes, do you need something?” “I used to say this back in the day.” “Yes?” “I once worked on a project with a famous actor.” “Yes, yes…” Why's a famous actor being mentioned here? Could it be some kind of jab implying the famous actor wouldn’t think that way? But... “It reminds me of that time, exactly.” “Huh?” “You’re not even the lead, just a supporting character in a few episodes, yet you’re researching like this, thank you so much. You’re more serious about the work than I am.” “Ah…” “This really makes me think I should cast Soo-hyun as a lead next time.” The director suddenly showering me with praise felt somewhat oddly moving. “Uh... Oh, no.” “I’ve reconsidered Soo-hyun because of this.” ...It wasn’t an immense study. I simply excitedly shared some facts learned after putting in numerous hours playing a game. “Um, thanks.” Feeling touched by their appreciation made me feel a bit guilty.
