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

---

After unintentionally moving the director to tears last time.

“Kim Soo-hyun, what do you think about this?”

The director has been coming to me more frequently with the script or the setting book.

“Uh… it’s about the water supply, isn’t it?”

“Yes, since the water will likely be cut off, I thought it would be good to show how the students used water in the story.”

“Well… there should be enough water at the snack bar, and when I looked around the school last time, the water cooler was outdated. A water bottle should be sufficient… Although, if the water supply is cut off, I guess the washing water will be a problem…”

“Right. Since they are students, they might be sensitive about that…”

Honestly, I have to say this is a bit overwhelming.

Yeon-ah is just a supporting character who doesn’t appear much, and so is the background.

I don’t know why the director has become so proactive.

This has turned into a situation where a serious actor is touched by an atmosphere that feels like a behind-the-scenes tale of a drama, increasing the director’s enthusiasm.

…It really doesn’t have to be like this.

If I were a person who really put effort into character research, it would be different.

I already played the zombie game and completely went blank, so I don’t research anymore.

These days, I just read the script and practice; it seems like there are weird expectations.

So inevitably…

“Kim Soo-hyun, the director is over there.”

“Ah, I need to go to the bathroom…”

I started avoiding the director.

If you put that much pressure on me, I’m going to avoid you too.

Of course, talking about the project is fine, but soon enough, my limitations will be exposed.

Having knowledge is meaningless if it’s just game knowledge.

Moreover, it’s not even accurate knowledge.

I’ve just been saying whatever popped into my head with my shabby trivia based on my gaming experiences.

Thus, it’s only natural for me to want to escape situations like this.

“Phew…”

“Why are you avoiding the director?”

“Uh.”

But since I’ve been running away so much, did it catch someone’s attention?

Kang Yun-sung, who was filming together, said to me like this.

“Well… um, it’s too much attention.”

“Oh, I mean, the director has been praising you a lot.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, he really seems sincere about the work and has done a lot of studying.”

“…Ah.”

It’s nice that the director thinks well of me…

But strange rumors are spreading right now, aren’t they?

I’m definitely not that type of person.

“I learned a bit from that too.”

“Huh?”

“After hearing that, I looked back at myself and realized I wasn’t taking my role as a supporting character very seriously. It became a chance to reflect.”

“Uh… yeah…”

Hmm, uh…

…Is there really anything to reflect on?

I can understand that the director has inflated my efforts into thinking I’m working hard.

But originally, Kang Yun-sung is quite diligent.

Hearing someone like him say that makes my conscience prick a little.

“So, by the way, did you study anything? Can you recommend something?”

“…It’s a secret.”

So now I can’t possibly say that I’ve just spent dozens of hours playing a game.

Look at Kang Yun-sung’s appearance.

It looks like I’ve strayed far from the games I’ve played.

There’s no way he’ll understand, so it’s better not to bring it up at all.

“Is this how we do it? We’re in the middle of filming together.”

“It’s a trade secret…!”

Thus, I ran away again.

Once the drama airs and rumors circulate in the community, it’ll likely pop up on YouTube Shorts about why actor Kim Soo-hyun could immerse himself in acting—

But for now, I’d rather keep it as my own secret.

“Kim Soo-hyun, earlier, actor Yun-sung was looking for you…”

“Oh, my manager called, so I have to go.”

So, I guess I should run?

That’s how I ended up dodging, only making minimal work-related conversations, and finishing filming that day.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes.”

I quickly left the filming location with Park Kang-seok.

Afterward, as usual, I went to the gym and returned home quite early in the afternoon.

“You came back early today?”

“There were no other shoots.”

Since the actual drama filming started, the number of ads was reduced, so it wrapped up quickly for the first time in a while.

After just changing clothes and lying down comfortably on my bed, the thought of broadcasting came to mind.

Since I finished early today, I should do a broadcast, but…

What should I do?

It’s been several days since I finished the survival game, and I haven’t been able to broadcast much since then.

At most, I turned it on once or twice to chat and fiddled a bit with the fan café.

So today, I want to do something decent.

In the old days, I used to broadcast almost every day, and there was a sense of spontaneity, but lately, since broadcasts have become less frequent, I want to prepare in advance.

Anyway, I lay on the bed, contemplating diligently about what kind of broadcast to do.

I was kind of thumbing through my phone and dozing off here and there.

In the meantime.

Beeep – beep –

My phone, which I had tossed aside, rang.

Who could it be? Park Kang-seok?

Usually, these kinds of messages are schedule-related…

But this time, it’s unusual to see a name pop up after a schedule’s over.

[Anna Rin]

It’s Anna.

Why is she calling?

“Hello?”

Well, I have no reason not to answer, so I picked up the phone.

[Soo-hyun!]

“Yes?”

Her voice tone is so bright.

Is something good happening?

“What’s up? You sound excited.”

[Did you hear we’re having a concert meeting?!]

“Oh, yeah, I heard.”

[Oh my god, I’m so excited?!]

She’s thrilled because of the concert.

Well, considering the members have just been doing broadcasts, they must be feeling good about starting full-fledged activities.

The Six used to promote as idols and release songs, but they haven’t done that much anymore.

Since Anna has experience as a musical actress, her anticipation for the stage will likely outweigh her anxiety.

“Is that why you called?”

But I couldn’t imagine Anna would just call for this…

I had to ask.

[No! I was thinking of proposing a content idea.]

“Oh, right?”

As expected, there was another reason.

But content, huh…

Is there something Anna has in mind that could be suggested?

“What is it?”

Actually, Anna isn’t the type to propose content ideas out of the blue.

She’s good at initiating things, but usually only for offline meetings.

[Should we do what we did last time?]

“Last time?”

[Yeah, the one where you put up a prize.]

The one where I put up a prize?

I paused for a moment, thinking about what that could be.

Um, hmm…

“Oh, the siege war thing?”

[Yes! Where the fandoms fight each other.]

“…You mean to do that officially?”

[Doesn’t it sound fun? I held back at the time, but the reactions were really good.]

I can’t believe Anna would come up with that proposal.

It must have received positive feedback, and now she wants to set it up formally?

Hmm, it seems Anna was quite impressed by the last time.

After all, if the Celestial Realm members gather their fandoms and fight, it would definitely be entertaining!

Typically, the audience for VTubers tends to be young males.

This content would be a perfect fit for those viewers.

It’s been quite a while since we did a group collaboration as well…

“Should we?”

[Yes, I think it’d be fun to gather all the juniors as well.]

“All the juniors too?”

[More, the better, right?]

“Well… I guess that’s true?”

Usually, for such competitive content, the more participants, the better.

I’m not sure how the game server would handle it, but it wouldn’t hurt to try to rally as many participants as we can.

[Also, they say all generations will be there during our meeting, so it’d be great to have a group collaboration before that.]

“That’s true. We’ve naturally kept our distance from the juniors, haven’t we?”

It’s quite rare for the Celestial Realm to interact with the juniors.

We don’t even often have collaborations with our peers, so you can imagine how it is with the juniors…

[That’s only you.]

“Huh?”

[We all get along well, okay?]

…Was it just me?

Thinking about it, the other members seemed to get along well with the juniors.

Anna, for instance, has quite the devoted juniors.

In contrast, me…

[You’re the only one who recruits juniors when necessary.]

“Well, I’m Buhwang, so….”

…I think I might have handled it a bit roughly.

Using them for what I need while not collaborating with them.

That makes me sound like a terrible senior, doesn’t it?

But the juniors don’t even ask me to do collaborations, so what can I do?

Well, I guess I’ve been the one keeping my distance from them anyway.

That said, Anna will probably continue to keep connections, even as the junior classes grow to two digits.

[So, you’re definitely in for this, right?]

“Yes, just let me know the date. It sounds fun.”

Since the content idea was very much to my taste, I readily accepted the proposal.

I didn’t expect Anna would suggest something like this.

If she had suggested a cooperative project where we all build together, that would have made more sense.

“By the way, sister.”

However, proposing a content idea like this means…

[Huh? Why?]

“Are you trying to drag me into this collab with the juniors by proposing this content?”

If I had to find a reason, I thought it might be this, so I asked.

[Uh, um? Not really! I thought it would be fun!]

“Really?”

[Okay, then for sure you’re in! I’ll go ask the others.]

…I think I might be onto something.

Is she the older sister of the Celestial Realm?

Not only does she understand the juniors’ needs, but she also draws in people from our generation for collaboration.

She’s impressive.

Well, anyway.

That night, after accepting the content proposal.

[Let’s set a date!]

“…Did everyone already agree?”

[Yeah, I got all their acceptance.]

Thanks to Anna’s incredible networking skills, the content schedule was swiftly determined.
