– Does Meongjjeon often talk like that?
I was drinking water when it suddenly hit me, and I spat it out, damn it.
– Not often, but she’s not the type to just cut off without talking about it like a squirrel.
– When VTubers are together, they do make those kinds of jokes at times.
ㄴ Wait, are you seriously talking about watching adult videos? Isn’t that a bit too much?
ㄴ No, no; it’s not that bad, but she does mention watching webtoons with a bit of suggestive content.
ㄴ That’s the spicy talk only VTubers can indulge in…
―――
[W-what!? Hey, Harris!!]
[…… Liss-ya…… You really did it again……]
―――
?
Gah
What
?????????
Huh??
?
Hahaha
Damn… damn… damn… damn… damn… damn… damn… damn… damn… damn…
Liss Liss-ya…… what does that even mean……
Satori’s crying
?
Mr. Harris????
Oh man, she must be really crazy, hahaha!
?
The boss is sobbingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Harris did it again……
Gah
―――
Harris, a casual remark thrown out by Lee Ye-rim.
Instantly, the chat explodes. A startled squirrel. A resigned Satori.
And quietly watching and listening is Lee Ye-rim.
“……”
One corner of her mouth barely curled up and then immediately dropped down.
“- No, no, no. A viewer said that my sister wouldn’t watch that stuff, so I just asked! I’m really, really curious. Hehe……”
As she spoke, Lee Ye-rim tucked her hair behind her ear.
…… Of course, that was half a lie.
There was a reason Lee Ye-rim and Harris caught Satori’s eye, even as amateurs when they debuted.
So-called broadcasting buildup, or in other words, build-up.
Moon Si-hyun’s actions, the chat, surrounding reactions, the momentary absence of male streamers.
Lee Ye-rim gathered those and spoke a calculated line.
Just enough not to offend Moon Si-hyun and something the viewers would enjoy.
It was a precarious balance she maintained.
What she could gain from this was significant.
Most of the viewers who liked the so-called “spicy” talked suddenly became alert.
And various communities would rekindle the heat that had died down with the match, igniting it once more with Lee Ye-rim’s VTuber name.
A few hours later on YouTube, thanks to Moon Si-hyun, not only clips from VTuber Kirinuki but also clippings of general streamers would also voluntarily feature Lee Ye-rim’s name.
Lee Ye-rim quietly waited for Moon Si-hyun’s reaction.
So far, there had been no response from Moon Si-hyun.
‘How will my sister react?’
Inwardly, as someone who was a fan of Moon Si-hyun, Lee Ye-rim was also curious about that.
When I met Moon Si-hyun last time, I saw a surprising side that was a bit different from her image.
But that wasn’t really related to complete ignorance of sexual knowledge.
Besides, even if there was a little, Lee Ye-rim wouldn’t come to dislike Moon Si-hyun.
Although Harris might not go overboard, inserting points of suggestion into streams like now was inspired by the Moon Si-hyun she frequently watched.
…… And, to be honest.
Considering Moon Si-hyun’s usual demeanor. It seemed more believable that not everything was without purpose.
Her sexual ignorance…… was really beyond Lee Ye-rim’s common sense.
[Oh dear……]
[Hey!! Harris!!]
Followed by Satori and the squirrel’s playful? objections.
“Hey~ We’re all VTubers, right? We can talk about these things.”
She brushed it off for now and awaited Moon Si-hyun’s response.
‘Will she be so flustered she can’t say anything? Or will she act all prideful and act like she knows?’
[……]
A few seconds of silence hung in the air.
[W-what do you mean? That kind of thing….. that, thing……]
Moon Si-hyun’s slightly trembling voice came through.
‘…… So cute!’
It was the first scenario!
No matter how I looked at it, the trembling in her voice was hard to mistake for acting.
Moon Si-hyun was probably fanning herself to cool down, wasn’t she?
Lee Ye-rim desperately held back a smirk.
After regaining her focus, she then needed to extract enough footage for the future Kirinuki and clips.
“Oh really? Hehe…… I-”
[…… Then, Harris, do you watch them?]
An unexpected question.
“Ah, no? I don’t really watch….. but, um, sister, do you like webtoons?”
[…… Webtoon?]
That is, if you’re talking about adult videos…… I mean, if we honestly talk about ‘adult videos,’ it becomes a deeper subject, so we are crossing the line.
Thus, Lee Ye-rim decided to stick to the casual banter she usually had with viewers and co-workers.
“Ah, webtoons. So, comics! Are you interested? If so, I could recommend you some webtoons that are for beginners, like 15+ or maybe 17+?”
―――
???
Why is it turning out like this, damn it
Don’t tarnish Moon Si-hyun, don’t tarnish Moon Si-hyun, don’t tarnish Moon Si-hyun
?
Harris’s sex education is going to start
Trying to teach something weird to a co-worker again…
??
I think I need to go apologize to that person…… hahaha!
17+ webtoon evangelist Harris
―――
[Stop!! Stop!! Sister can’t!!]
[Haa……]
As expected, the chat was ablaze, and the squirrel and Satori seemed to have heard enough, shocked or sighing.
Lee Ye-rim was already thinking of the titles for videos that would rise up the YouTube algorithm tomorrow.
―――
Harris’s distorted sex education……avi
Moon Si-hyun’s sex education with Harris (learned from a webtoon)
―――
This kind of material was something Harris had used a few times with the squirrel and Satori, so this time it would fit the image perfectly.
[…… What are you watching? Is it something strange?]
…… But, Moon Si-hyun’s voice questioning was a bit cold.
“…… Uh, um. It’s not strange, it’s just that even if it’s rated 17, it’s reviewed for 15, right? So it’s all fine.”
Probably just a feeling, I thought.
Lee Ye-rim, aiming to make the viewers more entertained and create more issues.
She recited the works she had studied and compromised to match with the viewers.
“First recommendation: ‘The Little Santa and Five Rudolfs of the Neighborhood.’ It’s a harem. Oh, that is, one guy dating multiple girls.”
[……]
“The girl characters are super pretty! The male protagonist can be a bit of a pervert, but…… because of that, there are also a lot of scenes with the girl characters showing off.”
[……]
―――
Moon Si-hyun is at a loss;;
It’s too spicy.
Gah
Uh-huh
Uh-huh…
But she’s not an ambitious person, is she……
Oh my…
Damn it
Gah
Gah
This is a masterpiece of Santolf ㅇㅇ.
Aren’t VTubers supposed to be idols…?
―――
The chat response is good too.
For VTubers, it was important to pick works that appeal to male audiences, whether it be subculture like animation or comics.
“And the point is that each of the girl characters has a slightly unusual? taste. For example, one likes a whip—”
Now all that remains is the pure, naive, flustered voice of Moon Si-hyun—
[What did you say?]
“Um—”
Suddenly, she was cut off.
Moon Si-hyun, who had never done this before, was doing so now.
[Th- …… Harris.]
“…… Y-Yes.”
The way Moon Si-hyun called her, sounded so different from her usual voice.
Moon Si-hyun’s voice towards her was one that Lee Ye-rim had never heard before: cold.
Lee Ye-rim swallowed once. It was not a playful tone like before.
[Those kinds of things seem too early for your age.]
“…… Huh?”
And then, Moon Si-hyun continued.
[Things like masochism or harem? You should avoid unhealthy stories that go against social norms as much as possible.]
She launched into a very lengthy…… and firmly closed story.
[Such depraved and momentary pleasures can have a bad effect on the brain. And—]
Lee Ye-rim, with a tightly closed throat, barely opened her mouth.
“I, is this…… rated for 15……”
…… It opened, but.
[Ratings are done by people, so they can’t protect everyone. You must know well whether what you’re exposing yourself to is harmful.]
“Y-Yeah, but……”
It didn’t seem it had much effect.
―――
Why do I feel like I’m being lectured too, hahaha.
Reverse sex education, hahaha.
I involuntarily clasped my hands in prayer, seriously.
Trying to give sex education, but it’s backfiring…
―――
“Wow……”
Lee Ye-rim was stunned while also feeling a bit of admiration.
‘…… I really didn’t expect my sister to come out like this—’
[Harris. Are you listening?]
“…… Y-Yeah.”
[Do you understand what I’m saying?]
“Yes. Um, I’m sorry……”
Harris listened quietly.
―――
Hahaha
Moon Si-hyun’s sex education wow wow wow wow.
I’ve never seen her getting scolded before.
Why is it so scary.
―――
While looking at the chat.
Listening to Moon Si-hyun’s very serious sex education…… Lee Ye-rim suddenly felt like she had been hit on the head.

– Moon Si-hyun…… really crazy in the chat… Harris reaction.gif
(Harris’s eyes wildly shaking gif)
Harris is getting sex education in reverse…
– I’ve never seen her make that expression before, damn it, hahaha.
– I thought she would just dip in and out, but getting scolded was truly hilarious.
ㄴ Even after the match ended, she’s still flooding with dopamine, what a crazy girl…
– Sex education >> counter sex education combo, ridiculous, hahaha.
– This is the first time I’ve seen Harris so flustered, hahaha.
ㄴ For real, she’s always the one teasing.
– I felt scared as if I was getting scolded.
ㄴ Scared? If she said something like that in person, it wouldn’t be scary at all.
ㄴ I wonder if I’d be scared of being caught when I get excited…
– Honestly, if Moon Si-hyun is really this innocent, I’d be really scared if it turns out she had a boyfriend…
ㄴ Ah, no.
ㄴ Don’t do that, it’s frightening.
ㄴ Moon Si-hyun once shared stories about the boyfriends she dated before she was famous and what they looked like.
ㄴ ?
ㄴ What is this again?
ㄴ For real?
ㄴ What nonsense, seriously, damn.
ㄴ It’s true, don’t joke around, she had a variety of boyfriends before, including living together, with some being black, some white.
ㄴ That’s real, I remember hearing about one of her exes being super buff and fitting right into her arms.
ㄴ ??
ㄴ ?
ㄴ What nonsense is this?
ㄴ Please tell me this isn’t true.
ㄴ ?
ㄴ Please, don’t say it’s true, really… ah.
ㄴ Bring a link before I believe it.
ㄴ No, don’t bring it, I’ll just forget it.
ㄴ One ex’s name in order is White, Black, Bear Doll, okay.
ㄴ Now, they can’t get over their exes and are still living together.
ㄴ Ah damn, I felt my heart drop for a second.
ㄭ Aren’t these people crazy?
―――
– Meongjjeon is truly an insidious person.
After saying such questionable things, she always…
(Harris’s eyes rolling gif)
Her pupils drift a bit sideways then she gives a slight smile.
It’s definitely intentional.
ㄹ For real, her skill in igniting is no joke.
– This girl is really scary.
– A cunning one.
– She subtly appeals to her strengths, like being young or having a good figure, yeah.
ㄴ That’s why she blew up.
– In the first place, there was no chat about Harris not watching Moon Si-hyun’s adult videos.
ㄴ Is this for real?
ㄴ Yeah, haha.
ㄴ There were chats about how pure Moon Si-hyun was, but nothing about that.
ㄴ Wow, that’s truly scary.
ㄴ Bold statement) That’s why it’s so good.
ㄴ For real.
ㄴ I really wouldn’t think she’d stop at anything to become famous, that’s really tempting.
“…… Huh.”
Late at night, wishing for victory in tomorrow’s match, all the broadcasts ended.
Lee Ye-rim, drenched in tension, returned from showering.
There was a message on Discord.
It was from Moon Si-hyun.
As she dried her hair with a towel, she opened her phone with the other hand.
“…… What is it?”
What caught her eye was.
[Ye-rim, remember the work I told you about today?]
[I found a document on a wiki for it and read a bit, but after thinking it over, I really don’t think it’s something you should see.]
[In sexual matters, you should learn from mature adults.]
The lengthy message continued with analysis.
“Whoaaa……”
‘Did she look it up separately?’
…… A shallow sigh escaped her.
‘I’m only 17 years old…… There’s only a four-year difference from you, and it’s not even like I really love that manga……’
“……”
Lee Ye-rim gazed for a moment at Moon Si-hyun’s very serious text.
[Did I upset you by saying that during the stream?]
[If I did, I’m truly sorry.]
Additional messages popped up.
“Fht!”
– Tap tap
Lee Ye-rim began tapping her phone keys with a playful expression.
[Then can you teach me more later?]
Then she stopped.
“……”
As she looked at what she had written, Moon Si-hyun came to mind.
– Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
[Then later, I will—]
She deleted it.
“……”
…… She fanned herself a bit.
…… Somehow, she felt a bit guilty for making such a joke.
…… For some reason, her face felt a little hot.
Innocence, righteousness, purity.
Unlike herself.
It’s really…… something she was born with.
The next day.
It was the day of the second match for the Bear Doll Family, now facing the SHARKS.
―――
San-deng’s broadcast
―――
[Well, as always. This time, the opposing lineup and synergy, the role in the current realm is really important. We can’t afford any mistakes from below.]
[And if we secure the second set this time, our chances of making it to the finals will greatly increase, so let’s all do our best.]
[Yes.]
[Okay! We are, you know, the cactus-Moon Si-hyun duo. Don’t you worry.]
[Hehe, let’s go. Fighting.]
[Fighting!]
[Fighting!!]
Overall, it was a warm atmosphere.
“……”
But San-deng’s expression was stiff.
He briefly glanced at the portrait of Moon Si-hyun.
“……”
Surely, Moon Si-hyun had shown a splendid performance yesterday.
…… Yet, there was an unsettling feeling he didn’t quite understand.
‘Why is that?’
San-deng tried to find the reason.
‘Maybe I set the A/C too high while sleeping?’
‘Could it be that I’m not exercising enough?’
‘Did I break a plate while washing dishes today?’
…… No matter how he thought, it was hard to find an answer.
‘It’s just my imagination. Si-hyun performed unbelievably well yesterday.’
San-deng nodded and spoke up.
“Let’s do our best.”
…… And then, a few minutes later.
[This is it!]
[No way!? Wait, Si-hyun!! Stop!! Stop!!]
―――
Our ally was attacked.
―――
[…… That didn’t go well.]
[No, Si-hyun!! Please!! Why are you doing this!! Aaaah!!]
―――
Enemy double kill!
―――
From below came a refined voice and mournful cries.
“……”
San-deng looked up at the kill score above.
―――
4:12
―――
San-deng sighed an unheard sigh.
And then, he realized the unsettling feeling.
Moon Si-hyun’s excessively aggressive play style.
That was an unavoidable characteristic, a double-edged sword.

Damn Si-hyun, hahaha. I’ve seen nervous people sweat during a tournament, but I’ve never seen someone throw it away like that.
