The moment I came down after singing the concert encore.
My Room’s viewer count had broken through an incredible 3,000 people.
Though they were viewers who would leave soon.
[Current Viewer Count: 3,112]
It was a number that made me feel proud just looking at it.
‘About 120,000 people are paying attention right now… and 3,000 of them means roughly 4% are focusing on me?’
It was an unbelievable figure.
– Did this person always sing?
– Is singing a regular content?
– If possible, could you do Park Hyo-shin’s Snow Flower?
– Anywhere is possible???
Usually, even if someone sings well, they prioritize the reactions of the people they were originally watching.
So they don’t really come to the actual singer’s room.
‘The effect is definite.’
While I was seriously considering whether to do singing content occasionally.
I gave my closing remarks amidst the cheers and immediately moved my character backstage.
-“Wow, what was that, Mungi?”
-“Are you crazy? You sang that well?”
-“That’s overwhelmingly the best Drowning and Marry Me cover I’ve ever heard…?”
-“I’m really sorry, but would wedding songs be possible too? Marry Me… would sound so sweet as a wedding song.”
A shower of praise poured in as soon as I moved.
“This much is what you’d expect from Winter of Yoran Garden, isn’t it? It’s proof of leadership. Thank you for the praise.”
I threw humility aside and gratefully accepted the praise with a friendly smile.
– He has it all, he has everything
– Ta-da-da† briefly hit 4,000 for a moment hahahahaha
– For real though
– But isn’t this a place for singing broadcasts?
– lol the music influx people are just gonna starve to death now yeah
– I’ve been watching Mungi for 3 years and this is my first time hearing him sing
– You bastard, if you had this talent you should’ve done it earlier, is endless Sliders 20-win grinding really right?
– This bastard is so fucking annoying lol sings like this but doesn’t actually sing
– So I want to beat him up but can’t, it’s obvious I’d lose if I diss the king
– What can I do? I’m a keyboard warrior from my room ㅇㅇ taste my blazing keyboard
– Grr grr grr grr take my typing take my typing
– This guy really shines every time he doesn’t communicate
– Got it, you’re not gay after all
– I totally understand Mungop’s feelings ㅇㅇ
– This bastard just wants a Deep Mung Kiss
– You’ll call Drowning again later, right?? Right???
– YB possible??? YB possible???
– Snow Flower is possible, right?
The Chat Room reaction was also needless to say, the best.
– I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol I’m just gay lol
– Mungop << this guy was doing something this good all by himself lol Mungop << this guy was doing something this good all by himself lol Mungop << this guy was doing something this good all by himself lol Mungop << this guy was doing something this good all by himself
– Why end it here? Are you crazy? I know you’re stronger than me, but if I’m prepared to die, couldn’t I at least spread your vocal cords?
– Ugh, this is when I need a subscription emoticon but this fucking guy has no sense at all ㅇㅇ
– Ta-da-da† Hurry up and make subscription emoticons and open subscriptions, seriously ㅇㅇ Since there’s no dedicated light stick, it’s less fun to support
– Mungop† I really relate to this ㅠㅠ Mungop please try to do something about it somehow ㅠㅠ
– When did Mungop pick up a Sword
– Then you’re saying the official editor doesn’t carry a Sword?
– Hahahahahahahahaha
– Anyway this bastard’s songs are the best bb
“Song content… I’ll consider it positively, since everyone likes it, I like it too.”
Of course, this wouldn’t be something that happens regularly.
I tried to say it as nicely as possible, but.
– Everyone says they like it so the conclusion is positive consideration whatever lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– When our business partner says that, it always means they won’t do it
– This bastard is using corporate speak, have you ever been employed? I’m suddenly pissed
– Don’t show off that you’ve worked
– But you were the one who seduced first But you were the one who seduced first But you were the one who seduced first But you were the one who seduced first But you were the one who seduced first
– Whatever, this bastard is obvious anyway, if we tell him to sing through mission funding he’ll just cheerfully spread his vocal cords
– Hahahahahahahahahaha
– Yeah, it costs money to get vocal cord surgery ㅇㅇ
– Sungkyunkwan University legend, damn
– Guy who sells green onions ㅇㅇ
– A proper whore indeed~
The Viewers immediately saw through my true intentions.
How did they figure it out? I didn’t expect them to be this sharp.
While I was thinking that.
– Thank you for the 100,000 won donation from Mok Seong-hyeon.
[ Hello. Mungi, I’m Mok Seong-hyeon broadcasting from Garden. Could you please sing Snow Flower after the concert is over? I really want to hear your version of it. ]
– Big Seong Hyeon
– King Boss Mok
– Hahahahaha
– Big Big Big
– King King King
– Mok Mok Mok
– He’s here he’s here he’s here
– You made it you made it you made it you made it you made it you made it you made it you made it
“Oh my! Mok Seong-hyeon! I used to watch your broadcast often, thank you so much! I’ll go to Mung’s Flower right after the concert!”
– This bastard son of a bitch
– A girl who easily opens her vocal cords if you give her money lol
– I’ll love you even if you’re like that
– Oh ya ji
– And in the middle of all this talking about Mung’s Flower
– Still if it’s Mungbungi to listen to, then Mungchu lolololololol
– Crazy
– Crazy
– Crazy
– Cowardly leading to Mungchu???
– I really hate myself for having to fall for this kind of Mungchu judo
– Is it because my Mungchu won’t stop
– Anonymous Donor 10,000 won, thank you.
[ I don’t have money because I spent it on goldfish food ㅠ Would it be possible to get Car the Garden – Tree with this? ㅠㅠ ]
– Anonymous Donor 10,000 won, thank you.
[ I don’t have money either, but would it be possible to get a YK cover of “Rose Blooming Between Buildings”? ㅠㅠ ]
– Standing Egg_Old Song 50,000 won donation, thank you.
[ I’m really in a hurry so I’ll make a pre-reservation for 100,000 won, please do mine right next, Standing Egg – Old Song please. ]
Even while cooling down the heat of the concert, donations poured in.
I stacked up the song list neatly like building up a karaoke reservation queue.
Of course, that didn’t mean I was blinded by money and kept stacking songs endlessly.
‘I shouldn’t show too much from the start, I’m going to be a variety game streamer anyway… singing is just secondary.’
Just enough to leave them wanting more.
So when about 10 songs had stacked up, I stopped taking song requests.
Just this alone would fill about an hour if I sang and took breaks.
That could be considered quite a lot already.
‘It’s also great that the initial 100,000 won donation naturally set the rate at 10,000 won per song.’
10,000 won for one song, that’s insane, what a profitable business this is.
Muttering that to myself, I calmed down the chat room atmosphere somewhat.
“Stop reacting to me, let’s watch the concert again now.”
– Agreed
– You should rest a bit after you’re done
– It’s comedy song timing so it’s fine
– Probably will sing Lera’s song right after the comedy song ends
– Lera’s singing is also ridiculous though
I focused on the concert again.
The comedy song was definitely impact-focused, so it passed by quickly.
It almost immediately transitioned to Lera’s turn.
‘What song is she going to sing?’
That curiosity was brief.
♬♪
As soon as the accompaniment started, I was shocked.
And for good reason.
– Huh?
– She can do this?
– Lera was this good?
“Golden original key…? Is this really it?”
It was an unbelievable song choice.
Golden performed with all her heart and soul.
High notes that climbed endlessly.
And an incredible vocal range proven through perfectly executed low notes.
After finishing all of that.
-“Wow, woah… No, Golden original key… This is really my first time hearing this live, not from YouTube videos or anything.”
-“Hehe, thank you!”
When the song ended, the buildup for appropriate closing remarks continued steadily.
Right after, there was talk of gathering together for another game as an after-party.
But.
“Um… I’ll be heading out now.”
I was too drained to endure any longer.
First, having lived as Hakko for so long, I wasn’t used to these group activities.
I also had some reserved songs waiting, so I needed to sing those first.
So.
“It was fun! I’ll definitely participate in the next after-party!”
I was about to give my closing remarks and prepare for Stream Ending.
Right at that moment.
-“Mungi, our Han River date. The day after tomorrow at 2 PM.”
“…Yes.”
-“I’ll send you the chat ID through Deco’s private message, so we can coordinate the meeting location there.”
“Yes…”
The Han River date appointment was set like a sword.
++++++
Han River VTuber Date or Han River Virtual Date.
It didn’t really matter what the first and middle words were.
“Date… in the end, it’s still a date.”
The word “date” attached at the end made Ttaranta extremely irritated.
As far as she knew, Mungi had never done a proper outdoor broadcast.
Whether it was with EV or during the Bad after-party.
Everything had been done at night, and since there was no exposure to ordinary people.
She hadn’t given it much thought to just wear whatever he usually wore.
But.
“We’re meeting at lunch to eat Han River ramen and stuff.”
This time the situation was different.
Autumn, Han River, a date starting from lunch.
When these three things overlapped, exposure to ordinary people was unavoidable.
No, the Han River date content was originally about getting embarrassed in front of ordinary people.
That’s why.
< Hey what are you gonna wear for the Han River date
Ttaranta immediately sent a message to Mungi.
> Yeah?
< -_- It’s a date, haven’t you decided on an outfit?
> I decided, I’m wearing training suit pants with sneakers and a t-shirt
< Don’t tell me that teddy bear one?
> Yeah
< That’s short sleeves
> Yeah
< You crazy bastard
She realized just how clueless this guy was.
It’s a date and he’s just going to dress like usual?
Sure, of course it’s not a real date so he might think that way.
But you’re going to encounter people, doesn’t he care about that?
‘Should I say that’s just like him… no, how can someone who looks like that not use it?’
This was criminal.
< Hey take a picture of your closet and send it to me right now
> Why, gonna coordinate my outfit?
< Yeah
> Oh Game Teacher coordination lol
“Does this guy really still think I’m a man… and Game Teacher at that?”
Of course, from the chat background to profile picture and such.
Everything that could indicate personal information was set to default.
But how can he just conclude things so thoughtlessly like this.
Though it’s that aspect of him that she’s been watching for 3 years.
‘Ah… forget it, thinking like this is just a loss.’
Ttaranta felt dizzy and focused on the chat.
> (Photo)
> How’s that, killer right?
< What’s killer about it, it’s all training suits and short sleeves
< Don’t you have long sleeves or something?
> Yeah, you can just wear a padded jacket
< Ah
Why is every single word so irritating?
Ttaranta felt annoyed for just a moment.
She twisted her long hair around and around, thinking deeply about something for a while.
‘Wait a minute… isn’t this an opportunity?’
< Then will you wear whatever clothes I send you right now via quick delivery?
< Answer quickly
> Yeah
> But you’re not sending anything expensive, right? That would be too much of a burden
> And is it okay for me to give you my home address? Hmm, aren’t we getting too close?
< —
> Sorry sorry haha just kidding
< Yeah
< Anyway, I’ll send a few matching top and bottom sets, so take pictures wearing them and send them in order
Without realizing it, her thumb moved.
Quickly heading toward a conclusion.
> I’ve been exposed to Game Teacher
< Don’t care
< It’ll arrive in 30 minutes so wait in front of your house, you’re too cheeky for your own good
> Okay
So right now she’s going to wear exactly the clothes I send her and go out?
“Hehe… hehehe…”
Ah, I shouldn’t be laughing like this.
Why am I laughing so creepily?
Ttaranta couldn’t suppress the laughter coming from her subconscious.
+++++
The day of the Han River VTuber content.
Kim Il-kyung, the PD from Lera’s Agency, hurriedly packed the broadcasting equipment and arrived at the meeting place.
“Phew, quite heavy.”
Tablet PC, Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Battery, Broadcasting Camera, etc.
There were only 4 items, but they all had size to them, so when gathered together it looked quite like a proper broadcast.
“Mungi said he’d be coming soon too.”
The broadcast format was very simple.
Meet up, help them put on the equipment, the penalty performer does their mission, and he just films from the side – that’s it.
Really, in a way, it was easy.
The problem was that he had to wear a tablet PC on his chest and communicate with the VTuber.
‘Well… that’s not something I have to do.’
Kim Il-kyung checked his phone and confirmed Mungi’s message saying he had almost arrived.
After neatly finishing the equipment setup, he raised his head and looked around.
“Mungi-nim!”
“Mungi has arrived!”
He could immediately spot Mungi in the distance.
Actually, it was impossible not to notice him.
Because his art style was completely different from everyone else.
‘No way… wow… height, face, body… he just has it all.’
What surprised him even more was the outfit.
When he had seen him do outdoor broadcasts a few times before, there wasn’t much styling.
‘Dark jeans… sneakers, white t-shirt with just a cardigan, and a person can look this different?’
Just wearing that simple outfit, he looked like he was shooting a solo photo spread.
You could believe he was filming a movie all by himself.
– Wow what
– Are you crazy?
– Shivering/trembling
– So this is what it takes to make Lera the first lady
– I really have to acknowledge his looks
– He really always says “Mungi has arrived”
– Don’t need to say anything, we can tell when you look like that
– Hahahahahahaha agreed
The viewers who had flocked to the punishment-only broadcast were also immediately expressing admiration upon seeing Mungi’s appearance.
“Should I put on the equipment right away then?”
“Yes, I’ll help you put on the equipment… but do you happen to know today’s mission?”
“First we walk a bit… then eat Han River ramen together intimately… lay out a picnic mat and enjoy a picnic… after that it changes a bit but that’s the general flow, right?”
“That’s right! That’s right! Then let’s proceed right away!”
After a few movements, a tablet PC, Bluetooth speaker, and portable battery were attached to Mungi’s body.
But the problem was that even with all that, he didn’t look strange at all.
So should I say he was trying to pull off even this as fashion?
Like he was just going to smooth over everything with his face and ridiculous physique?
While Mungi’s expression was slowly dying as he realized the reality.
Mungi’s body was, how should I put it, insisting on making even this look natural.
Anyway.
“Then we’ll start the Deco video call with Lera-nim… Starting now! Yes, it’s working! Now you can begin!”
And so the punishment began.
“Honey! Let’s start then!”
Lera also showed her face on the tablet PC, immediately asserting her presence.
As soon as she spoke, the sound spread loudly through the Bluetooth speaker.
“Ah…”
As social death was approaching.
“Honey, I want to see how you’re dressed today, can you show me?”
Lera wanted to see Mungi’s outfit.
“Sure, no problem.”
Mungi immediately picked up the tablet PC to show his appearance.
And as soon as she saw it, Lera realized.
‘Ah… someone dressed him up? And it was a woman?’
That a woman had been involved in Mungi’s current style.
Moreover, though most people wouldn’t know.
What Mungi was wearing now was almost all luxury brands.
It’s just that they weren’t well-known or flashy.
But they were all clothes that easily cost at least tens of thousands.
That’s why even when worn casually, they gave off an elegant and refined aura.
“…Honey, who picked out your clothes today?”
“Oh, this? My manager! Good sense, right? I don’t know how a guy has such taste.”
“Oh, it’s a guy?”
“Probably?”
– Hahahahahahaha
– She’s asking about your manager’s gender and you say “probably”?
– But usually the manager would be a guy lololololol
– Well, the possibility of it being a woman is really extremely rare, and they’re not even an editor lol
– Agreed
– Guys typically don’t care much about that stuff
– For real lmaooooooo
As soon as she heard the answer “Probably?”, Lera had an intuition.
‘It’s definitely a woman.’
Being a woman herself, she could tell.
That this coordination had a woman’s touch.
‘…Hah.’
She could feel the unwelcome touch of another woman.
Moreover.
“Did you put on perfume too?”
“How did you know? Can you smell…? Oh, no, of course you would smell it, yeah!”
Even though it was a date where perfume wasn’t necessary, she had given him perfume to wear?
This didn’t need any explanation.
‘How interesting?’
To think I’d feel this way even before we officially start dating.
Lera tried her best to calm her heart. And on one hand, she felt grateful that she had a Virtual Character.
If it weren’t for this, her strangely contorted expression would have been caught immediately.
Anyway.
“Alright, let’s go! Starting with a Han River walk!”
Lera felt it didn’t matter much since he’d be dating her anyway now.
“Yeah, let’s go!”
About 10 minutes after they energetically started moving to take a Han River walk.
“…Excuse me, sorry, but I’ve been watching from afar for a while now – are you filming something?”
Where did she come from?
“Is this like YouTube or something? Can I be in it too?”
Why are they appearing?
“You’re so handsome… You’re really, really my ideal type… I’m not someone who does this kind of thing, but this is my Phone Number – could you please take it?”
Despite walking along the Han River with a VTuber displayed on a Tablet PC.
“You’re Mungi, right! I’m such a huge fan! I baked some Cookies at home – please! Please take them!”
Women kept swarming from everywhere.
Like watching moths flying into flames.
– Even doing this and there are girls asking for his Phone Number
– Huh? Usually when this happens, people call you weird and avoid you?
– She even baked Cookies to give him
– But today’s Moonbyul outfit was absolutely insane ㅇㅇ
“…Mungi, are you seriously talking to other women while leaving me behind? During our date? Do you think this makes sense?”
“Ah, no, it’s not like that – they approached me first… I can’t exactly push them away…”
– Crazy bastard
– I’m jealous
– I want to live as you
Lera couldn’t stand this.
So she decided to pull out her Special Move right away.
“Stop what you’re doing right now, get in a Taxi and let’s go to the nearest Maid Cafe.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Let’s go to a Maid Cafe.”
Why are you getting Phone Numbers when this is supposed to be a punishment?
Does that make sense?
‘Change of plans.’
A place where he absolutely won’t get Phone Numbers and won’t be disturbed by anyone.
Let’s go to a Maid Cafe!
