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

---

The feedback filled with gratitude and love for the fan who drew fan art continued for thirty minutes.

Well, since there were many parts to fix, I decided to put in some effort while I’m at it.

[Thank you for the donation of 10,000 won, I’m Sorry… I promise I won’t break the rules again, so could you please forgive me?]

– Hahahahahaha
– Can you not just call it a tie, you trolls?
– They really went hard on you…

…Is this enough? They should have reflected on it by now.

“Alright. But since it all helps, make sure to note down what I said today.”

That was genuinely heartfelt feedback.

From lines to human anatomy, shading, composition, and so on, I tailored it just for them, so if they take my feedback to heart, they might grow at least a level further.

– But seriously, they did do well.
– If it weren’t for the “not safe for work” stuff, this feedback would cost money.
– I really want to see them draw properly once.

– I’m not envious…!

See, even the viewers acknowledged it.

More than that, I want to do an art stream and slack off. But now, that seems a little tough.

Miro, Soo-hyun, and my drawing account KSH have become too intertwined.

“Okay, then shall we continue looking at the fan art?”

Well, at some point, a day will come when I can do it.

Someday.

*

With the fan art viewing over and gaming underway, time flew by.

Now, there were about four hours left until Miro 24/7.

– What do we do now??
– It’s not on the schedule.
– Shall we eat?

“I have everything prepared.”

Originally, I had kept two hours free in my schedule before my late sleep for surprise planning.

I decided to extend it for two hours as a reward, but… wouldn’t the guests coming later share the burden?

“Just a moment.”

Saying that, I left the soundproof booth.

I received a text saying they’d arrive soon, so I should get ready.

First, I brought the chairs from the living room table to the room.

Since we can’t fit them all inside the cramped soundproof booth, I’ll have to extend the mic and run the stream from inside the room.

With the chairs set up in the room, I extended the mic outside the soundproof booth and tidied up the messy room, moving busily about.

Ding-dong—

The doorbell rang while I was busy arranging the blanket.

– Woof! Woof!

I could hear Bok-sil’s cute barks from outside.

Looks like they’ve arrived.

I quickly came out of the room, grabbed my mask, then opened the front door.

I wonder what they all look like?

I know a few individuals like Maho, who posted a selfie as their KakaoTalk profile picture, but I’m curious about the others.

Surely, there can’t be anyone prettier than me…

Being a VTuber, there might be a few quirks among them.

For example, someone in the fashion of what’s commonly called a “menhera landmine girl.”

As those thoughts crossed my mind, I put on the mask I had brought, picked up Bok-sil who was clinging to my legs, and made my way to the front gate.

“Let’s go out now!”

Seeing the bug mask, Bok-sil looked shocked, staring at my face blankly, so I petted her and opened the gate to find five women standing there, each holding a plastic bag.

“Come on in, everyone.”

“Huh? What’s with the mask?”

“Whoa, your proportions are insane.”

“What? Is that Miro?”

“Ahh— did you get a puppy?”

The atmosphere suddenly became chaotic, and I took a moment to observe the members of the Celestial Realm Project in front of me.

First, the tallest must be Maho. Isn’t she over 180cm?

Then there’s Anna, dressed stylishly with brown hair.

The girl with the bob cut who looks like a college student taking life-sized selfies must be Haru.

Next, the smallest girl…

“Hmm….”

I know I shouldn’t act like this in front of people, but I was at a loss for words when I saw the woman standing on the far left.

With a short haircut down to her neck, piercings in her ears, and if you look closely, a little tattoo on her neck too.

It’s summer, so she’s wearing short sleeves, but if the temperature drops even a little more, she’d seem like she’d wear a leather jacket with chains, giving off a tough vibe. But first and foremost, she’s a beauty.

“Aren’t you staring a bit much?”

“Can you see my gaze with the mask on?”

Hearing her voice, I realized it was Loa.

The innocent Loa who breaks up broth with her “push and pull” on stream is a completely different woman in reality.

But while the images of the other members matched up to some extent… Loa is so dissonant it’s close to puzzling.

“That mask has eye holes, you know?”

“Do you play the guitar or something?”

“Guitar?”

“You look like someone who would play in a band.”

Kek!

Someone next to me burst out laughing, and I turned to see Anna bowing her head, giggling.

“Is that… an attack or a compliment?”

“Hehe… I’m just joking. Come on in, everyone!”

And just like that, I finally guided the Celestial Realm Project members, whom I was seeing in real life for the first time, into my house.

“Wow… but the puppy’s so cute.”

In the midst of all this, I saw Haru unable to take her eyes off Bok-sil.

“Do you like puppies?”

“Of course!”

“Then, here.”

Since she said she likes them, I handed her Bok-sil, and even though she was flustered, she held on tightly.

“Isn’t it a little too calm when you suddenly hand it over…?”

“The poor thing is neutered and doesn’t have much motivation in life.”

“Ah….”

“Just kidding. Should we have Bok-sil join the stream too?”

“Her name is Bok-sil? Can we really?”

“Here.”

Leading the other members into the house, I wrapped a wet towel around Haru’s arm.

“Just make sure to wipe her feet, alright?”

“Wow… can I touch her paws?”

“Just be gentle.”

It was a joke, but seeing her so happy… I decided to let Haru take care of Bok-sil for now.

According to Mrs. Jang, she’s the type to act cute even if a thief comes in, so Bok-sil shouldn’t be scared of unfamiliar hands.

“Anyway, your house is nice. A standalone house in Seoul? Aren’t you a golden spoon?”

“It’s on the outskirts, though? And it’s pretty old if you look closely.”

Well, we’re doing better than the middle class, but it’s not enough to be called a golden spoon.

“Still, I’m envious, wow….”

Anna couldn’t stop praising the house.

Maybe because we’re at an age where having our own houses is becoming urgent, she seems to respect my parents for having a home like this on the outskirts of Seoul.

“But what about your parents?”

“I sent them away to the sea.”

“What?!”

“They’re having a hotel vacation in Haeundae.”

“Wow.”

“Then should we all head to the room? The viewers are waiting.”

And with that, I guided the remaining members, excluding the astonished Mile and the still cleaning Bok-sil in Haru’s arms, to the room.

“Wow.”

“No.”

“This is a bit….”

And through their reactions, I once again saw the state of my room, which I had gotten used to and hadn’t noticed before.

The posters hanging here and there and the displayed figures tell what kind of person the owner of this room is.

…Now that I think about it, even the soundproof booth technician must have been shocked.

In fact, I had to clear out a space to fit in the soundproof booth, and it’s a lot more than this.

“Can you stop giving reactions like this among people who are also VTubers?”

But isn’t the technician’s shock different from these members?

They all have their own characters and are being dramatic…

“That’s true….”

“Here, I’ve prepared chairs.”

Glancing through the slightly open door to see the monitor inside the soundproof booth, the speed of the chat was abnormal.

It seemed the viewers, impatient from the delay, were spamming the chat.

“Huh… what’s going on?”

And then Anna, who caught sight of that scene over my shoulder, gasped.

“I-Is something wrong?”

“No, it seems like they might have revolted lightly since it got delayed.”

“A riot? Is everything okay?”

“When we arrive, it’ll calm down.”

For the other members, that would be an accident if something like that happened during the broadcast, but for me, it’s just everyday life.

Well, given that many viewers are tuning in right now, it’s not too peculiar.

“You’ve got your challenges too, huh….”

“Now I’m used to it.”

Whether from the start or now, my audiences have generally stayed the same, just with a higher tier of intensity.

“Shall we begin now?”

While I was murmuring like that, Mile, who had gathered her thoughts, and Haru, who had cleaned up Bok-sil, also entered the room.

“Wow, it’s cramped.”

“Is there even space on the floor?”

As she said that, Mile placed the shopping bag she had brought down on one side of the floor.

“I’ve been curious since earlier, but what did everyone buy?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

What could it be? A surprise gift?

“It’s just luxury items without any special meaning.”

“Geez, Kimchi soup, enough already. Don’t get your hopes up; it’s not a gift, you know, you brat.”

A gift… but not?

“Uh… why not?”

“I’ll tell you later, so let’s just broadcast for now.”

Saying that, Mile immediately turned on the microphone.

“Ah, turning it on right away…”

– ???
– They’re here
– What’s that?
– If the guest is obvious, it’ll be a downvote, lol.

As the mic was unexpectedly turned on, I panicked and started reading the chat when suddenly a brilliant idea struck me.

Quickly, I raised my finger to signal the other members to be quiet.

Then, I took Bok-sil from Haru’s embrace.

“Alright, this is the guest. Say something, darling.”

– ???
– What?
– ???
– ?????

Saying that, I lifted Bok-sil high and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Yip yip….”

– ??? Hahaha
– Are you that puppy’s boyfriend?
– Oh wow.

“Now, as I’ve said a couple of times, Bok-sil is today’s guest. Just a heads-up, she doesn’t bark much, so she might not say anything.”

– ??? Nah
– Stop messing around.
– Is this for real?
– Why does it take so long to just bring a dog?

– Just turn on the camera and show us how she looks.

“The camera? Just a second. I need to go to the bathroom first.”

Saying that, I got up from my seat and tapped Anna on the shoulder, who had been intently watching, pointing to the mic.

It was a spontaneous thought and action, but aren’t they all professional streamers?

I believe they understood my actions to some extent.

“…?”

Except for Haru, who was mesmerized by Bok-sil.

So, confirming that Anna nodded, I went to get some water, and I could hear Anna’s voice resounding in the room.

“…I’m really Miro, okay? Are you sure it isn’t me?”

She’s doing well.

Seeing the chat move quickly, I plopped down on the bed.

Now that I mentioned it, I was still wearing the mask?

Unfortunately, it was a model where the mouth section wasn’t cut out, so when I tried to take it off to drink water, I locked eyes with Haru, who was still petting Bok-sil.

“Oops?”

Oh no, Haru just spoke.

That’ll ruin the surprise concept we had for the members.

I quickly gestured for her to be quiet, but the focus shifted to Haru who made a sound.

First, it was Haru who made the noise.

Then, it was on me, who Haru stared at blankly.

In such silence, the intensity of the gaze that had concentrated upon me didn’t falter until I lowered my hands in embarrassment.

…This is a bit awkward, isn’t it?
