Seriously?

 

It goes without saying that the main attraction of a maid cafe is naturally the maids.

 

Generally speaking, when we say maid, it’s usually done by women.

 

In the case of men, they’re called butlers.

 

However, there are always exceptions to the rule.

 

Due to various complicated adult circumstances, sometimes men do work as maids.

 

And that was exactly.

 

“…Wh-what are you talking about?”

 

“Honey… it’s me, don’t you recognize me?”

 

The case I found myself in.

 

‘Ah, this is seriously ridiculously embarrassing.’

 

Using feminine speech patterns was something I could manage by adjusting appropriately.

 

But this thoroughly business-like way of addressing customers just wouldn’t stick to my tongue.

 

So I was hoping my first customer would just be an ordinary customer.

 

But suddenly Lera, who brought Yoran Garden RP and started WWE, became my first customer.

 

– This has become quite troublesome indeed

 

– Hehe

 

– Why is everyone suddenly using formal speech?

 

– Just because lol

 

– Hahahahahahaha

 

– Since Ttaranta† Mungi is using formal speech, we should match his tone^^

 

– Hahahahahahahaha

 

Leaving the excited Chat Room behind, I decided to play along appropriately.

 

“That’s how it turned out.”

 

“Turned out? Isn’t that casual speech? I’m clearly a customer who designated you.”

 

“…That’s how it turned out, ma’am.”

 

– But it’s 4 hours in real time?

 

– Of course it’s real time lol

 

– Still, he spent 1 hour preparing for the maid cafe and doing simulations lol

 

– 3 hours left

 

– 3 hours until the drums of liberation

 

But actually, there wasn’t anything special about the maid cafe.

 

‘The Maid Outfit is worn by the character, not me… I just need to act it out.’

 

So I thought once I got a little used to it, the embarrassment would completely disappear.

 

“I’m going to add all the services available here… and of course I’ll tip… so could you please give me your best service?”

 

That was until Lera started getting serious.

 

‘No way, she’s this serious?’

 

Why is she in such serious customer mode?

 

My internal panic was brief as I immediately continued with professional customer service.

 

“Even if you say service… uh, it’s just things like memorizing your order when you eat… you know?”

 

“Don’t they also have singing services? I know they don’t actually do dancing in real life… but I know singing is available?”

 

“Yes, it’s available. But the VIP singing service is a bit expensive, so the public singing is much more cost-effective…”

 

“No, it has to be the VIP singing service.”

 

The VIP service isn’t really anything special.

 

It’s just not singing in front of others, but going to a special space just for the customer and singing there. That’s it.

 

But it’s just the difference between private and public, yet the price is 3 times different.

 

‘But she’s doing that?’

 

Just how serious is she about my maid?

 

Lera continued speaking as if she didn’t care whether I had such doubts or not.

 

“Sing 10cm’s Phonecert… you know how to sing it, right?”

 

“Uh, um… yes, I know it. But I think I need to listen to it a few more times to make it more perfect…”

 

“Then do that.”

 

“Yes, yes?”

 

“You heard me, right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

But is it just my imagination that she seems strangely angry? No, rather than angry.

 

How should I put it, should I say she’s being coy, or should I say she feels sulky?

 

‘But is there anything for her to be sulky about with me?’

 

It must be my imagination.

 

Muttering to myself like that, I moved to a different spot with Lera.

 

“But is it different from listening publicly?”

 

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

 

“No, it’s just that there’s a 3 times price difference…”

 

Actually, even calling it VIP, there wasn’t much to it.

 

Just move the Deco Room to a place where only the two of us are and transfer the server.

 

Turn off Merk’s internal microphone, and move the character to a space labeled Private Room. That’s it.

 

Then after that, you just sing the song.

 

‘But then how is this different from singing publicly?’

 

It’s not like the appreciation would be different when listening alone.

 

– This bastard’s face showing he genuinely doesn’t understand is so infuriating

 

– No dating experience? No dating experience? No dating experience? No dating experience? No dating experience?

 

– No, does he really not know at all? You’d know just from reading some manga lol

 

– Is it because he doesn’t watch NeMaWi lol

 

– You’d know just from reading some romance novels

 

– For real, he should at least read “There Are Loopholes in the Student Council” geez;;;

 

– He doesn’t know trends at all

 

– Mungki, I’m really sorry but clueless male leads are totally unpopular these days ㅜㅜ

 

– At the very least, if you had seen “108 People Who Like Me So So So So Much?!” ㅠㅠ

 

– What’s that lololololololol

 

– Ah… now that I’m throwing some bait, the ‘real ones’ are starting to crawl out

 

– Ttaranta† I’m going to ban all excessive anime talk from chat, so please restrain yourselves

 

– As expected, normalization is the great Ttaranta

 

– Mungchu

 

But the viewers acted like they couldn’t understand my reaction even more.

 

What was funny though was that they didn’t seem to understand what they were saying either.

 

It just felt like they kept nitpicking at my comments.

 

But what was funny was that this kind of thing didn’t end after just once or twice.

 

Generally, customer service lasts about 45 minutes, with 15 minutes as shop break time.

 

So you could think of it as roughly 1 person per hour.

 

The customer after Lera was immediately.

 

“Jjining…?”

 

“You should call me Master Jjining!”

 

It was Jjining.

 

But Jjining also likewise.

 

“VIP service! Absolutely!”

 

Requested the VIP song service.

 

“For my song, um… I’ll do Phoncert.”

 

“That song is popular today, Lera also requested that song.”

 

“Oh then I’ll do a different song, please give me Tree.”

 

– Ugh, talking about other customers while serving a customer ㅡㅡ

 

– Do you really live without watching anime

 

– Do you not read romance web novels at all?

 

– I’d like to recommend it lol

 

– Do you know about true love stories achieved through regression

 

– No service spirit at all

 

– Liberation drums 1 hour before

 

Singing songs, reciting the omurice Love Magic Spell.

 

Then talking about this and that, and another hour was over.

 

The customer who came during the last time slot was EV.

 

EV also likewise requested the VIP song service.

 

“You already sang Phoncert? Uh… Tree too?”

 

“Yes, yes. Those songs are popular today.”

 

“…Then do you have any songs you’d recommend? A song menu or something…”

 

– Wow you’ve been to a maid cafe

 

– At authentic maid cafes, they show you a list of dances you can do

 

– Was it woof woof meow meow or meow meow woof woof, that one’s really good

 

– What will Mungmaid’s karaoke service be like?

 

“Uh… Snow Flower?”

 

– No, what era is that song from

 

– But the fact is it’s still in the karaoke rankings

 

– I’m in my early 20s and I still sing Snow Flower and belt out Emergency Room

 

– Agreed

 

– Hmm, suddenly smells like grandma’s wardrobe

 

– Hahahahahahahaha

 

– Soon the drums of liberation will sound

 

“Then please sing that one.”

 

“Yes!”

 

After providing EV with the same service as the previous two customers in order.

 

Finally, all 3 hours that would allow me to take off the Maid Outfit skin had ended.

 

“Mungi! Great work! But if you have any intention of continuing… or if you’re thinking of coming to work tomorrow…”

 

“Ka-mung Strike.”

 

“W-wait a moment!”

 

– Hahahahahahahaha

 

– Do I still look like an employee to you?

 

– Just cleanly unleashed a Village PK

 

– The maid was actually a knight?

 

– It was a long time of humiliation and oppression, time to return to being Knight Mungi

 

– Refreshingly delivered a Ka-mung Strike to the chest

 

After refreshingly settling my personal grudge against Dal-geun, I immediately escaped from the Maid Cafe.

 

‘Phew, never want to do that job again.’

 

It was only bearable because I worked for about 3 hours.

 

If I really had to do this all day, I might have gone crazy.

 

“So now all that’s left is the one-day date content later?”

 

– But aren’t you doing night streams too often lately? Merk has to keep participating in real-time too

 

– It’s not like Mungi wants to go out, so whatever

 

– No, you honestly want it too, hehe

 

– Ugh

 

– I always want Mung-ppo *3*

 

After roughly organizing the situation.

 

I briefly went online and looked at the Hyubang Server roadmap.

 

“Starting tomorrow, exploration zones 3 and 4 open simultaneously… and enhancement can begin in earnest from tomorrow too.”

 

– Yeah tomorrow is the real deal

 

– So is it right to do a one-day date in this situation?

 

– Won’t you become the Adventure King?

 

“No, but everyone’s misunderstanding something. The one-day date isn’t tomorrow, right? She said later, in the future.”

 

– Oh

 

– Ah, is that how it is?

 

– Then from tomorrow you’re just going all-in, Merk?

 

“Right, I also need to do raids in earnest… and try fully enhancing the Knight’s Sword and all that.”

 

– Good

 

– Focus on Merk, good

 

– But Mung-tube hit 50,000 subscribers, isn’t there something for that?

 

“Suddenly?”

 

When Mung-tube was suddenly mentioned out of nowhere, I immediately checked the channel.

 

“No way, this is real.”

 

I confirmed that Mung-tube had reached 50,000 subscribers.

 

It couldn’t help but be a truly moving moment.

 

Already halfway to a hundred thousand.

 

‘If I reach around a hundred thousand, maybe I could even show my YouTube channel when I need identity verification later.’

 

ID Card, Driver’s License, Passport.

 

Besides the three commonly known forms of identification, I would have one more.

 

A YouTube channel no less!

 

Of course, I don’t actually plan to use it that way.

 

Just being able to think like this made me feel incredibly good.

 

– Already 50,000

 

– What will you do when you hit 100,000?

 

– Let’s have a fan meeting

 

“Already counting your chickens before they hatch? But at 100,000… maybe something like a Q&A? A fan meeting feels a bit burdensome…”

 

How many people would even come to a male broadcaster’s fan meeting anyway.

 

Chatting and actually participating in a fan meeting were completely different things.

 

Even if you did a demand survey, cases where people didn’t actually show up were extremely common.

 

Honestly, even if I held a fan meeting, I didn’t know what to do, so I wasn’t interested yet.

 

– Q&A sounds good

 

– What color are your underwear hehehe

 

– Gross what the /This viewer has been banned

 

– Is Ttaranta† crazy lololol

 

– Too direct is crazy lololol

 

– Need to ban quickly yeah

 

– Now Mungi needs to start preparing to go mainstream, so please everyone show some restraint

 

– Do Mung-droids Dream of Going Mainstream

 

“Just thinking about posting a 100,000 milestone Q&A on the Mung-tube Community makes me nervous.”

 

– I’m nervous too Mungi

 

– If you’re a Mung-viewer who’s nervous in a different way, that’s Mungchu

 

– Crazy

 

– Crazy

 

– Crazy

 

– Mungchu’s judo is really annoying though lol

 

“Then let’s end Merk here for today, and should I slowly start doing things like subscriptions and setting up a fan cafe?”

 

– Ttaranta† is finally doing it

 

– For real

 

– Crazy bastard

 

– You’re doing this now?

 

– I guess you’re the type who rows really slowly

 

Subscriptions meant having one more source of steady monthly income.

 

As for the Fan Cafe, it was an extremely useful free content source since viewers would upload reading material on their own.

 

The downside was that if the Fan Cafe wasn’t managed properly, it would die.

 

But I had a capable manager, so there was nothing to worry about.

 

‘Plus I’ll recruit a few more cafe administrators…’

 

Just as I was calculating that there was nothing left but to keep moving forward.

 

I noticed an alert that a new Email had arrived in my Business Email inbox.

 

As soon as I opened it, I was startled.

 

‘Huh? They’re inviting me to such a big tournament?’

 

The broadcast platform Garden had numerous tournaments.

 

Among the popular ones, Canyon and Tilta were representative.

 

Recently, Valorant and Bad had been rising too.

 

But even so, it was difficult to surpass the popularity of Canyon and Tilta.

 

Among them, Canyon had many tournaments targeting top-tier streamers.

 

But tournaments targeting mid-tier or really low bottom-tier players were also held occasionally.

 

And the tournament targeting those bottom tiers was called ‘Mud Fight’.

 

From there.

 

‘Seriously?’

 

I received a casting offer.
