– Satori’s recap of yesterday’s meet-up

Oh, did Si-hyun say that? Was I allowed to share it? Well, if Si-hyun mentioned it first, then I guess it’s fine.

So, what happened yesterday… um…

Well, I noticed Squirrel was really struggling.

I think they were pretty tense because of the demons.

They were trying to sound okay, but Si-hyun quietly suggested we meet up after hearing that.

But it turns out, as we got closer recently, I learned that Si-hyun’s and Rami’s homes are kind of near mine.

Not super close, but close enough that I could easily drive over.

And my home is also really close to Harris’s.

So, I felt really bad, and it seemed like Harris did too, so we decided to go and picked Harris up to head to the cafe where we agreed to meet.

Once we got there, we had a good chat.

Squirrel’s doing better now, and the four of us had a fun conversation before heading back.

The end.

(Chat window is filled with bad comments)

Pff… Just kidding! I meant to say, “Tell the story!” Hold on. I’ll grab my VR pen.

(Runs drawing program)

(Support: What does Squirrel look like?)

Thanks, Acorn #1!

What does Squirrel look like, you ask?

(Starts drawing on the program)

Like this, with brown hair.

And brown eyes.

Wearing a green robe.

And munching on an acorn!

Done.

(Squirrel VTuber model)

(Chat window explodes again)

Heh. Just kidding, just kidding.

Anyway, of course, I can’t draw in detail, but seriously, they’re so cute!

Really, just like what you see—super adorable!

They wore the cutest outfit, an oversized shirt… It just exudes protective vibes, you know? You want to squish them and pinch their cheeks.

But it’s not like they’re fat or anything. Uh-huh.

Anyway, extremely, extremely cute.

(Support: Is Harris not cute?)

Come on, I say this all the time! Honestly, they don’t give off a cute vibe.

And their personality is not cute either. Just a real sly fox.

And they have a good physique. Really good physique…

Oh, wait, doesn’t mean Squirrel doesn’t have a good physique, okay? Hehe~

(Support: How was meeting Si-hyun?)

(Support: How was that beast girl?)

(Support: What about Moon Si-hyun?)

(Support: What about Moon Si-hyun?)

(Support: What about Moon Si-hyun?)

(Support: What about Moon Si-hyun?)

(Footnote: After this, there were really dozens of questions about Moon Si-hyun)

Whoa. What’s going on? Did the donations bug out? So Si-hyun is that curious?

Si-hyun… Si-hyun…

(Starts drawing a bear doll)

Umm… Well, Si-hyun is…

(Scrawls a few lines)

Hah… huh…

No.

That’s not it. I mean, when we first met, um… what should I call it?

When we opened the cafe door, there was a small girl hugging the girl in front of her.

But at that time, I couldn’t see their faces, you see? I kind of had an idea of who was who.

But anyway, there were only two people in the cafe, so I got closer.

… But I completely blanked out then, for real.

Harris probably felt the same way, I think—I heard a “Wow” from beside me.

Oh, they’re also talking about it now? Hahaha…

(Chat: Why?)

Why? Well, I mean… for real… uh…

(While talking, draws the bear doll’s waist and shoulders)

You see, in this world, well… there are physical phenomena that apply.

When something soft touches something, it gets squished, right?

If it’s huge, it… well, it touches certain parts of a person.

(Slowly draws a big, round droplet shape on the bear doll’s chest)

It’s my first time to see it applied so blatantly…

Oh! Wait a minute!!

(Flustered, spam-clicks undo)

I was just doodling without thinking… I mean, it’s just a rough sketch, right?

Oh no… I over-talked because I lost my focus.

… Oh, you all knew? Phew, thank goodness. I thought I messed up.

Wait, you mean my elbow didn’t touch!?

Nah, wow… I see why. Uh-huh, it’s probably not a concept.

You see, when someone gets shocked, their body stiffens.

Anyway, while I was standing there, suddenly Si-hyun saw us.

And then they stood up, right?

… But, I got scared in that moment.

No, really.

I mean, they’re tall, but the proportions… um. They looked a bit unreal.

(Support: How was the face? Please!)

The face? You want to know how the face looked?

The face was just…

(Emphasizes the bear doll costume)

They were wearing a bear doll costume!

(Chat window explodes again)

How am I supposed to describe the face, you guys~ They’re in a bear doll costume!

You just want a rough idea? Why are you guys this desperate? Aren’t you all my fans and not Si-hyun’s fans?

Fine! One last thing then. I won’t talk about this anymore.

Um.

You guys might… might end up regretting that Moon Si-hyun debuted as a VTuber. Seriously.

I’ll be back after a quick bathroom break.

– Damn, why’d it end here?

ㄴ Satori is still in the bathroom, this guy types really fast.

ㄴ That’s shorthand.

– What, are they a legendary Pokémon? How is the description like this?

– So, to sum it up, they’re really pretty, have great proportions, and their bust size is huge too?!

ㄴ Isn’t this a bit over the top? Hahaha!

ㄴ Isn’t this just typical juicy gossip? Way too blatant.

ㄴ Remember to consider VTubers hype each other up like this.

– So their bust size is huge then??

– I’ve never seen an auntie stutter like that, hahaha!

– Damn, how do they even look then?

– Just how pretty are they!??

ㄴ It sounds like not just pretty, but the proportions, height, and figure are all great too.

ㄴ Does that even make sense? Damn.

Satori’s flustered description of the reality of Moon Si-hyun.jpg

(Capture)

Also, Squirrel

(Capture)

– Damn, they draw really well.

ㄴ They doodle a lot, but you can still tell they draw well.

ㄴ This person is majoring in animation.

– If this is real, I’d also be simping for Moon Si-hyun.

ㄴ This guy is a legend in the gallery. Hahaha.

ㄴ Moon Si-hyun has drawn in a big way already.

– So, does that mean Squirrel is buried in those busts?

ㄴ Damn, I’m so jealous.

―――

Godly) Si-hyun really solved all the exam questions (drawing program)

(Clip)

– Is this real??

– Stop joking! How would that person know the exam questions!?

– Looks like a plain lie, hahaha.

ㄴ They’re saying it way too seriously for a joke, though?

– I’d like to pretend I never saw this; there’s no way my high-ability person could solve this.

– Hearing that makes me annoyed thinking about the beast girl, Moon Si-hyun.

ㄴ For real.

ㄴ I’ve changed my username dozens of times, but I’ll keep quiet about this one.

– Damn, I don’t know anymore.

―――

– Harris: I felt the wall with Moon Si-hyun. (Clip)

{Hey, you know, Si-hyun, you know.

Honestly, I’m… I’m really not someone to take lightly, you know? Anywhere…

But honestly, compared to Si-hyun, I felt a wall as a woman.

In this world, there are clearly things that are hopeless with effort… I’ve realized that once again…}

– Is this person big too? Seems like Satori is saying they are.

ㄴ Yup.

ㄴ They said with their own mouth they’re a C cup at least, and not an E cup.

ㄴ For real, right?

ㄴ They have their own charm.

ㄴ They have a reason for their sudden popularity; they’re subtly making these appeals while acting innocent.

ㄴ There’s a bit of a calculative side too.

– But really, with how Squirrel, Harris, and Satori are all siding with each other, doesn’t that make it real?

ㄴ For real.

ㄴ Damn, I’m so curious!

ㄴ I wish they accidentally revealed their face a bit, for real.

―――

– Harris) Satori sexually harassed Moon Si-hyun. (Clip)

{But, you see, Satori really… phew.

I was comforting Squirrel and talking with Si-hyun.

But the more we talked, suddenly Satori’s gaze… whoosh!

No, their eyes kept drifting down, and then they stopped at Si-hyun’s chest.

Then, while staring at Si-hyun, they kept talking.

At that moment, Si-hyun was totally flustered, and eventually, tried to cover her chest…}

– Hahaha!

– What a crazy moment, right?

– Satori’s a gay…

– Is this for real?

– Just how much of a shock would that be for them?

– Covering their chest was pretty embarrassing.

―――

– Satori is super angry… Harris spills extra tea.

(Support: Harris just said that you were staring at Si-hyun’s chest like crazy. Is that true?)

…… What?!

Oh wait, I’ve never done that! Why would I stare at Si-hyun’s chest…? What’s going on~!

Why would I look at someone else’s chest? Huh? Harris, this won’t do.

…

Wait, you said that!?

…

Wait, Harris, weren’t you looking too!?

And you stuck to Moon Si-hyun like glue!

Not like that with me!

– Is Moon Si-hyun radiating pheromones or something? Why does everyone get so hyped up when they meet her?

ㄴ It makes sense why Squirrel was doting on her since part-time work…

ㄴ Seriously hyped up!

– What’s the deal? Wasn’t Sandi under some curse?

ㄴ The possibility for a good stretch is still alive…

ㄴ But if it’s to be, it’s probably with Harris.

ㄴ For real.

ㄴ They could probably deceive Moon Si-hyun into doing a good stretch.

Real-time) Current viewer count for Demons participants.jpg

3rd Harris 6349

4th Squirrel 4153

– Damn, it’s still daytime! Why are the numbers so high?

– Wasn’t their level originally like this?

ㄴ No, no, no. The moment Moon Si-hyun entered, thousands of viewers spiked.

ㄴ All the other rooms got absorbed in the viewership! Hahaha.

– Damn, these crazy guys.

What the hell, these juicy gossip freaks…

– Hahaha!

– Were all those taken at the same time?

ㄴ Yup.

– Weren’t these guys asleep!?

ㄴ You can’t resist the team meetup tales, uh-huh…

– Does the multi-screen count as a viewer tally?

ㄴ Seems so? Looking at how they’re in four rooms at once is hilarious!

– What the heck? Hahaha!

―――

– Suddenly wanting Moon Si-hyun to face the ‘People’s Judgment’ sounds great, haha!

If you want Moon Si-hyun to reveal her face in the name of apology, thumbs up! Hahaha.

– Thumbs up!

– Okay, fine.

– Thumbs up! Hahaha.

– But for real, compared to how much drama they’ve stirred in the community, there’s no real scandal here.

ㄴ There’s drama, but not the kind that ruins them.

ㄴ They’re always lighting up streams, yet it’s always the people who get burned…

ㄴ Those who set others on fire, that person is a natural.

Just

(Pepe delivers a roundhouse kick to contemptible individuals)

What the hell! You fools!

– Suddenly feeling grateful that Moon Si-hyun doesn’t use DC.

– Damn, sorry for you, fool. 😭😭😭

– These are the good-for-nothings, for real.

– King of firewood, truly…

– Crazy boys, really…

Sansu wiped his wet face with a towel.

[Sansu: @everyone]

[Sansu: Let’s meet up for a bit.]

[Sansu: Let’s chat or something.]

A few moments ago, Sansu sent a message to the group chat on Discord.

Of course, since it’s the day of the tournament, there’s still a lot of time left, so he didn’t plan to pressure anyone with training, just wanted to gather for some casual conversation to ease their nerves.

After sending that message, Sansu finished washing his face and returned to check the voice chat on Discord.

ㅇ Satori

‘Everyone’s here.’

The six of them had already gathered on Discord.

For a brief moment, Sansu recalled today’s events.

It would surely be a challenging journey.

Even if each of their dynamics had improved, the opposing side had an undeniable advantage starting off.

‘There’s still plenty of time, so let’s take it slow. No need for unnecessary tension—let’s ease into it.’

With that thought in mind, Sansu entered the voice chat as calmly as possible.

…… But.

“Hello—”

[No!! Everyone. I just saw it. Out of curiosity! I just heard all four of you were streaming, so I just… Curi! Ous! and checked it out! Just out of curiosity!! The reason you all went live at the same time made me curious. That’s all!]

[Why did I watch the team members’ streaming separately in the morning? Oh, no… I just… I was curious. Yeah… I watched out of curiosity.]

[I didn’t look at their chests! I looked at their hearts! My heart was too kind! What, gaze-rape!? What’s that word…!?! Go out… Si-hyun. Did I do something like that?]

[Geez, why were you so close? Just because we were getting closer!]

[You want me to tell you how it felt when I hugged you? … That’s a ban.]

‘…… What is happening?’

The audio…… was already a total mess.
