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

---

On the day of the large gathering.

Before starting, the members of the Celestial Realm gathered in the Discord call room together.

[Wow, Miro-senpai~!]

[Whoa.]

[Looking forward to today!!]

With a whopping 24 people present.

As a result, the Discord Room was quite crowded.

– Wow, it’s noisy hahaha

– Is it an all-girls school??

– Look at all these people!

To think that all these gathered individuals are leading the fandom and participating in the war.

I can’t help but feel a little excited.

[I’m looking forward to today!]

[I’ve prepared a lot~]

[I really went through a lot of preparation this time….]

It’s quite chaotic now, though.

Even before it started, I already felt my energy being drained.

“Nice to see you all.”

[Yes!!]

[Nice to see you too!]

– Hahaha

– Are you an idol??

– You’re quite popular, hahaha

“…That’s true.”

Anyway, while I was responding to the words of the juniors.

[Everyone, focus! Look here!]

Anna, who had been keeping her microphone off the whole time, turned it on and shared her screen.

That must be the reason she gathered everyone before we started.

[Alright! I’m showing this only once, so pay attention!]

It turned out she brought a PowerPoint with a rough explanation of the content we’d be doing this time.

They say it’s from The Six, and it’s really well made.

It’s easy to look at since it was created by the company!

Whether it was made by an expert or not, it has simple drawings and concise explanations, making it easy to understand.

– Oh…

– This looks fun!

– Could you summarize it in three lines?

Explaining the rules of such content is critical for helping the viewers understand.

From their reactions, it seems like they have a general idea.

Well, it isn’t that difficult anyway.

[So, questions?]

After looking through the entire PPT, Anna confidently spoke.

Hmmm, a question.

“I have one!”

I immediately thought of something.

[Oh! Ask anything!]

“Is the server okay?”

[Yeah, the server? It’s fine! I tested it!]

“Tested it?”

[I set it to a public room and invited everyone! It went smoothly!]

“Aha.”

Well, if it’s public and Anna’s caliber is involved, doesn’t it seem like a thousand people would show up?

Seems like she set a date to test it, so I’m relieved to hear the server is alright.

With that many people, I was a little worried.

Looks like Anna prepared well.

“By the way, what about the map?”

This time it’s pure war content, so the map was procured from The Six.

But I was told to check it on the day itself, and still don’t know what kind of map it is.

[You’ll know as soon as it starts!]

“Really?”

[Yep, it’s a secret until then.]

Hmmm…

The fact that it’s a secret just makes me more curious.

Well, I suppose I’ll find out soon enough since it’s about to start.

After exchanging a few more casual words.

[Alright, let’s start now!]

[Everyone, please exit Discord!]

As we logged off of Discord and entered the server, the real content began.

“Phew, here we go.”

– Can’t wait!

– Let’s wipe them all out!!!

After the game started.

I opened my eyes at a randomly assigned spawn location, looking out over the vast grassland and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Hmm, is this the map?

Anna said I would know when I saw it, but I’m not quite sure yet.

It seems I’ll have to explore the area and see some castles or buildings to figure it out.

“Everyone, I’m counting on you.”

Thinking that, I glanced at the individuals who had already connected at my location.

[Yes!!]

[Understood!!]

– Listen to that enthusiasm hahaha

– It’s like watching soldiers.

…But there’s some discipline here.

It seems the practice we did a few days ago wasn’t in vain.

We really put in a lot of effort into strategizing and distributing equipment.

I might be decently dressed as a person, but why are our soldiers so short on supplies?

In the end, our army looks quite disorganized.

You know how it is?

The pinnacle of beauty is somewhat similar, but ugliness has no boundaries.

That’s exactly how our soldiers look right now.

“Alright, let’s go.”

[Uwaaaa!!]

Still, I like the sound of their voices.

Since they’re all guys, they sound pretty spirited.

We decided to communicate through in-game voice chat.

We did this to create a real battle feel, so even if we separated into units, we needed to send messengers regularly to check our locations.

Because of this, each team, divided into ten, has one messenger responsible.

…We seriously are short on soldiers.

Looks like quickly absorbing other forces to grow our numbers is a priority.

What was the percentage of death and injury?

Though getting knocked out during a fight is the same, the chances of permanently dropping out are surprisingly low.

Most injuries are just that.

And those injuries are divided into severe and minor; as long as we take care of the injured, they can eventually recover and rejoin the battlefield.

Permanent death is… simply getting booted from the server.

Back when I first started, it was a simple game.

Now, after finding and adding some mods, it feels really realistic.

The end of a game is indeed about modding.

Since the mods are made by dedicated players, they tend to be quite convenient and detailed.

“Let’s head up that hill and take a look.”

Before officially exploring the map, I decided to climb a nearby hill for a better view from a high point.

It’s the highest point around here; it should give a nice perspective.

“Hmm.”

[Huh?]

…It seems I’m not the only one thinking this way.

At the top of the hill, I ran into other soldiers.

“Attack!”

[Huh, huh?!]

– ????

– Already a meeting?

– What’s going on?

“Everyone attack!”

…Honestly, this is surprising.

The map must be quite big, right?

It seems we just ran into each other due to the random respawn mechanic.

[Attack!]

[Let’s go!]

[Uwaaa!!]

But since I, as the commander, gave the order, our soldiers began to charge.

[Defense!]

The opposing side immediately began to counter.

…They have some discipline, don’t they?

Whose soldiers are these?

As soon as we met at the top of the hill, the opposing commander was nowhere to be seen.

It seems they’re a different style than me, commanding from the back instead of leading the charge.

That actually works in our favor.

“I’m going!”

Though it’s surprising to encounter them,

it’s also a chance to expand our forces.

I drew my spear and charged forth on horseback.

If I die, it’s game over, but I have to risk this much.

After all, it’s 41 versus 41.

A one-person advantage can make a meaningful difference, especially if that one person wears the best equipment among them.

Moreover, in this sort of small-scale battlefield, a valiant leader has a transcendent influence.

Just like right now.

“Ugh!”

As I rode and swung my spear, three enemy infantry went down without a fight.

Phew, the graphics may be shoddy, but the impact feels satisfying.

Indeed, fighting real people adds a sense of realism.

[Miro-san! Watch out for arrows!]

This isn’t the time for idle thoughts.

Thwong! Thwack!—

Using the shield on my left arm to deflect an arrow, I swung my spear again.

– Wow hahaha

– You’ve really leveled up from solo play to this.

– This is what a general looks like hahaha

I practiced specifically for today, calling in either solo players or team leaders for our squad.

“Now, who’s the opponent commander?”

Having already clashed once, with equal numbers, the odds favor us.

Though the opponent gathered elite personnel, they’ve formed a solid defense due to their preparations, giving me a chance to survey the battlefield.

The horse I’m riding is quite a good one, so being high up allows me to see far.

Soon, I spotted someone coming up the hill, carrying a flag.

“…What luck I’ve found.”

I customized my game character and flag to match the Celestial Realm avatars as closely as possible, so I could recognize them right away.

– It’s Loa hahaha

– Our first opponent is a big shot hahaha

That’s Loa.

No wonder the opposing formation is quite solid.

With Loa’s innate game sense and the loyalty of her fandom, it all makes sense.

But still.

To show her standard in such a small skirmish like this…

“Breakthrough!”

I couldn’t let the opportunity slip away, shouting that phrase, and the scattered forces began to gather around me.

And then.

[Uwaaa!!]

[This way!]

Forming a formation that resembled an arrow, we charged down the slope through the enemy’s defensive line.

This wasn’t large-scale; it was a small breach we could afford to attempt.

The objective was the enemy commander.

[Block here!]

[They’re coming!]

Of course, the enemy would fiercely defend, but we have the same number.

Besides, not all our troops are heading towards them.

“Net!”

After we managed to break through a portion of the enemy’s defenses,

I raised my spear high and yelled, causing the formation to scatter in all directions.

This was to entangle the feet of the enemy soldiers.

In the meantime, I urged my mount to pick up speed.

Ahead, I could see Loa holding the flag.

[Mi, Miro?!]

Seeing me charging on horseback took her by surprise.

It seems she didn’t expect the commander to directly charge in.

“Ugh!”

As I approached, I swung my spear with all my might.

Clang!!

[You!]

Loa quickly drew her sword to block.

– Whoa ohhhh

– She’s actually blocking it hahaha

– What’s with this reaction speed?

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting her to defend so well; it caught me a bit off guard.

Did she practice a bit?

Clang!! Clang!! Clang!!

Taking advantage of the momentum, I kept launching aggressive spears.

While our soldiers held Loa’s unit back, I needed to push the attack further.

Clang-! Clang-

[Aaah!]

Loa defended better than I anticipated.

Even…

[Whoosh-!]

Taking advantage of the length of my spear, she even managed to counterattack.

“Why are you so good at this?”

I knew she had game sense, but I didn’t expect her to put up such a good fight against me.

Not bad at all.

But that’s probably the extent of her skills.

Among the Celestial Realm members, no one can beat me in one-on-one combat.

Using my mount to close in, I saw her start to panic as I neared her.

Thwong—

In that instant, I deflected her sword with the spear’s shaft.

Whisk- CLANK!!

[Ugh!]

With a swift rotation, I struck her helmet with the spear’s handle and sent her tumbling off her horse.

– Wow hahaha

– This dude is really Lu Bu, hahahaha

– No way, lol

[Loa!]

[Support here!]

As soon as their commander fell, the soldiers rushed over for backup.

[We believe in you, Miro!]

I too had my own soldiers.

As our respective soldiers rushed in, a chaotic melee unfolded, and ultimately…

“Phew, surrender?”

[Ugh… I lost.]

In less than ten minutes after the content began, I received Loa’s surrender, who turned out to be a strong contender.
