But there’s something I’m really curious about

The number one internet broadcasting platform 【Garden】.

If you ask who holds the overall first place there.

“Lera.”

“Obviously Lera.”

“Definitely Lera.”

“Is there anyone other than Lera?”

Everyone unanimously says ‘Lera’.

An excellent VTuber appearance that looks like a cute animation come to life.

Her signature White Royal Ribbon and flowing Light Pink Hair.

A fragile and shy personality that perfectly matches her innocent appearance.

From regularly changing outfits to model motion capture, everything at a perfect level.

Usually she keeps herself well-covered, but the occasional glimpses of her heart drive viewers crazy.

She just hasn’t revealed her face.

But since she’s shown her body and hands a few times.

People speculate that her actual appearance is also at an incredible level.

According to fellow broadcasters, it’s officially confirmed that she easily surpasses celebrities.

On top of that, a honey-sweet voice and cute, gentle way of speaking.

Plus singing skills that easily outclass professional singers.

Lera was undeniably the emperor of Garden.

And naturally, being an emperor meant having too many subjects to manage.

So she had no choice but to sacrifice certain parts of herself to maintain her empire.

In this process, if there was one thing Lera regretted most.

‘New faces, especially having no chance to interact with the opposite sex.’

It was her increasingly narrow social circle.

Viewers didn’t mind much about same-sex relationships, but when it came to opposite-sex relationships, viewers would get furious and show intense reactions.

‘Actually, I thought it was just joking at first…’

She was shocked to see the so-called Turret spinning happening in real-time.

So Lera tried her best to avoid opposite-sex relationships.

‘But no matter what, I should stop this atmosphere of unreasonably forbidding everything.’

But even knowing this, it doesn’t work out well.

Of course, it wasn’t like she was thinking “I love men! I’m going to hang out with guys!”

When broadcasting and doing various content, there are inevitable moments when you get involved with the opposite sex.

She just didn’t like the chaotic atmosphere in the Broadcast Room every time that happened.

‘It’s not like I’m encouraging pseudo-romance… that’s not even my broadcast concept.’

Isn’t it natural to hang out when connections form naturally?

While she was having these thoughts as usual.

– Uh-huh, look at mama

A voice that suddenly intruded during the concert startled Lera.

After learning the full context, she realized those words weren’t directed at her.

She also recognized that he had turned on his camera to make a sincere apology.

‘He’s incredibly handsome.’

An unbelievable appearance.

Though Lera had never dated anyone, she could instinctively tell.

A man like that could probably start dating anyone in no time.

‘But… since this happened by fate, couldn’t we slowly build up a relationship and hang out?’

So she had hoped for the first time in ages that she might make a male friend.

Originally, buildup is important for these kinds of things.

Gradually building a connection from a relationship formed in an absurd situation and becoming friends.

That kind of story seemed like something viewers would accept too.

So Lera wanted to learn more about the other person.

She created a separate sub account and quietly stayed in Mungi’s broadcast room without typing any chat.

‘He’s been streaming for 3 years… but doesn’t seem to have any close friends.’

Then should I try talking to him by giving him an invitation to the GTA server that opens in a few days?

Starting with the meaning that I’ve completely forgiven him, and also because I feel bad that he’s being harassed by the toxic viewers from my stream.

‘If I guide him, he could build connections with various people… hmm, that doesn’t sound bad?’

Honestly, with that level of looks, his streaming potential would really show.

And she thought the visual wouldn’t be bad either.

‘Hehe.’

While she was having such happy thoughts.

– Thank you for the 100,000 won donation from EV.

[ Hello Mungi. I’m EV, a broadcaster on the same platform. If you have time tomorrow, could you help me with my mission? ]

“…”

At the sudden unfamiliar donation, Lera’s pretty brow furrowed ever so slightly.

And in that situation, what followed was.

-“Oh of course! Of course I should go!”

Seeing Mungi bow deeply and say he’d help with the mission.

“Interesting.”

Why was she letting out a scoffing laugh as if she found it absurd?

Lera couldn’t understand herself.

+++++

EV.

A variety game streamer.

Despite her cute appearance, she was known for her fairly tall height and husky voice as her distinctive charm.

Her viewer count easily reached several thousand on a regular basis.

So she could definitely be called a major corporation,

And with her easygoing personality, she tended to game with people from all over the industry.

And today, as usual, after gaming with other streamers, she.

“Ah… Are you crazy! Are you crazy! Do I really have to do this?”

-“Well, you lost, so who else is gonna do it.”

“Eeek! Ah… why do I have such terrible luck with roulettes?”

-“You finally got caught, are you crazy? Do you know how many punishment roulettes you’ve dodged so far… Just quietly do your mini march and come back.”

『 EV Punishment Winner! 』

“Aaaaaaaah!”

Seeing the result before her eyes, she let out a desperate wail of despair on Discord.

A casual gaming competition between Garden streamers forming teams.

Today’s game was PUBG, and EV, who was quite skilled with guns, performed pretty well in the kill bet.

But team games aren’t something you can win just by doing well alone.

Due to her teammates’ catastrophic performance, she suffered a crushing defeat in the bet.

As a result, she got caught in the punishment roulette and was now stuck having to perform a 20km mini march punishment.

“Aaaaah! I did the best!”

– You did the best~

– You did the best

– You did the best

– You did the best

The viewers were having fun teasing EV, who had gotten caught in a punishment after a long time.

EV racked her brain trying to find a way to make the punishment easier somehow.

“Come to think of it… didn’t they say I could bring someone along for the punishment?”

– Yeah that’s right

– But you know the conditions, right?

– Can you do it? lol

– Who would do it now lol?

Misery doubles when shared, but punishments get halved when shared.

Since she just needed to walk a total distance of 20km, if she found one companion, she’d only need to walk 10km.

But the problem was.

“Ah… I need to find someone who’ll walk 10km with me at the Han River at this hour? Someone I have no connection with?”

– The conditions are pretty harsh

– That’s why they’re conditions lol

– It’s restrictions and vows

– Oh that kind of setting?

– But there really isn’t anyone

– Making a girl walk 20km alone at this hour is kinda lol

– Ugh lol who’s being so sweet again

– So sickeningly sweet

– Sweet and savory pork broth hams, please get lost ㅠㅠ

– EV,,,dear,,,I’m,,,here,,,I,,,want,,,to have Han River beer,,,with,,,you,,,,

“What’s that last chat, are you crazy, get out.”

– Hahahahaha

– Hahahahaha

– Hahahahaha

The conditions were quite harsh.

In a way, it made sense.

It was a punishment, so if it looked too easy to complete, it wouldn’t be fun.

‘But who should I really pick…’

Since it was late, EV decided to look for male streamers.

But maybe because this was such a major corporation, it was hard to find someone she had no connection with at all.

To be precise.

‘Someone who turns on their camera… has some recognition, and would make good broadcast content when we’re together…’

Finding a guy who would be entertaining on broadcast was quite challenging.

So EV chatted moderately with her viewers while moving her eyes busily.

Finally.

“Oh? Mungi? Mungi-nim? Isn’t this guy pretty hot these days?”

– But how does someone in their early twenties use the expression “hot guy”?

– Her way of speaking really isn’t easy

– I smell the unfamiliar scent of 70s-80s karaoke from this familiar girl

“Ugh, pointless chatter… But really, this Mungi guy seems pretty good?”

She found her target.

He became a hot topic for his unexpected R-rated comment during Lera’s concert.

A case where he made his presence known through his incredible looks when he turned on his camera.

‘There’s no particular sign refusing visits… Let me go in first and see what his broadcast sense is like?’

His looks were definitely a pass.

The key was whether broadcasting together would guarantee entertainment.

‘But what’s this person’s main content?’

When she entered the broadcast with that thought.

The first thing she heard was.

-“You malicious simp bastards, aren’t you ashamed of sending emails like this? Then you throw ten thousand won and ask for forgiveness, aren’t you embarrassed? Let’s get punished, let’s get banned, let’s just coolly throw away that 12-month subscription.”

It was an angry voice giving a harsh lecture with malicious emails displayed on screen.

‘Of all things to get involved with, he got tangled up with Lera simps and has a lot of trouble.’

But usually people would be completely deflated in this situation.

Instead, he boldly opened his email and turned it into content.

‘He definitely seems to have broadcast sense.’

Honestly, this level was a pass.

“…I didn’t know Mungi-nim, but he’s really a real man.”

– Agreed

– Wow

– She was eliminating trolls lol

“Wow, but I felt this when someone sent that video too, he’s really handsome, isn’t he?”

– For real

– For real

– Agreed

– This is something you just have to acknowledge

– I want to look like that too

Now the problem was that he had to like her too.

The most effective thing at times like this was a donation.

‘I’ll just throw 100,000 won at him.’

So EV immediately sent a 100,000 won donation to Mungi’s room.

As soon as she sent it, Mungi bowed deeply and said he’d help with whatever mission she had.

“Ah… then if you happen to live near the Han River, would you walk about 10km with me right now?”

– But why do you read out loud what you’re typing in chat?

– Isn’t this an old person trait?

– An early 20s person with all the old person traits, crazy lol

“Ugh, I can read it out loud sometimes! You’re being so mean!”

– lololol

– lolololol

– lol

Please, please, please!

EV hoped and hoped again that Mungi would live near the Han River.

-“Ah, it takes about 40 minutes by taxi? But since it’s dawn right now, if traffic isn’t bad, it’ll probably take about 20 minutes. That’s fine.”

She received an answer that suggested it was possible if she could wait a bit.

‘That’s good?’

Perfect.

EV smiled brightly and typed enthusiastically.

“I can wait. Then shall we meet at Han River Park? I’ll leave my KakaoTalk ID in a message.”

– But seriously, upvote if you don’t understand why she reads her typing out loud lol

– The habit of reading books out loud since childhood strikes again

– I can smell the musty old bookstore scent from this familiar girl

-“Ah! Yes, if you do that, I’ll contact you right away as soon as I arrive at the Han River!”

Okay, got the answer.

As soon as EV heard the confirmation from the other party, she immediately pulled out her Outdoor Broadcasting Equipment.

– But since she’s definitely from a Major Corporation, she’s really exploiting the underdog

“Ah! What do you mean exploiting the underdog?! You’re talking weird again!”

– You have Han River View so it takes 5 minutes for you, but Mungi is an underdog so he has to take a taxi

“I’m going to pay for the taxi fare!”

– Agreed lol

– Wow you really hit the nail on the head there

– Your thoughts are really deep, so deep

– If EV is getting a headache thinking about paying for a taxi with night surcharge, thumbs up lol

“Hey what are you saying! I’m the one who called you, so of course!”

EV bantered with the viewers like that while grabbing her outdoor equipment and heading straight outside.

She temporarily turned off the broadcast to avoid exposing the process of leaving her house.

Then came out near Han River Park and turned the broadcast back on.

“Ta-da! Now that you see me outside, how is it? Prettier, right?”

– Thank you Anonymous Donor for 1,000 won.

[ It’s definitely pretty since it’s dark and you can’t see as much lol let’s go ]

– lololololol

– lolololololol

– lololololololol

– lolololol

“Are you crazy.”

She killed time with appropriate banter like that.

Around the time she thought he’d be coming.

Ding! Ding!

A message came from Mungi through the chat ID she’d sent in a note.

> I’ve arrived. Where should I go?

< I'll pin my current location and send it to you

< Please come this way

< Thank you so much for allowing the sudden request for an outdoor collaboration stream ㅠㅠ

> Not at all, I like walking so it’s fine. And I should be thanking you for giving me this opportunity

‘Oh, what? He’s so polite?’

Usually when guys are handsome they act cocky because of their looks.

His personality matched his good looks.

‘How did someone like this endure 3 years without turning on his Camera, living as a bottom-tier streamer?’

Honestly, even having this thought was rude.

But she couldn’t help thinking he might be an idiot.

Just looking at his face, he was overwhelmingly, incomparably the #1 among all male streamers she’d seen.

To keep this hidden for 3 years and only turn it on during an apology broadcast.

While she was having these thoughts.

“EV! Mungi has arrived!”

“…”

– “Mungi has arrived” what is this lolololol

– What is this, some internet meetup? lolololol

– Getting serious early 2010s meetup vibes lol

– This ain’t easy, ain’t easy

– If it’s an EV that would make 10km feel longer than expected, I’d recommend it lol

– What the hell hahahahahaha

A man who looked like he easily exceeded 185cm in height.

Even just wearing a tracksuit, he exuded model-like charisma as he approached with confident strides.

‘Wow… what the hell, is this for real?’

Her first impression upon meeting him was ‘the camera really doesn’t capture him properly.’

Just how cheap of a camera was she using for there to be such a huge difference between seeing him through it and in person?

The viewers who were actually seeing Mungi through EV’s outdoor camera also felt the same way.

– What’s with this guy

– Just how crappy is her camera for there to be this much difference

– Wow, this guy was using like a potato cam level quality ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Haduri Camera lol how old are you

– Even with an outdoor cam setup it looks this good lol, if she used a female streamer setup and showed her face it would be insane

– Agreed lol

Even though viewers are usually quite harsh when it comes to complimenting men’s looks.

Mungi’s appearance was at a level they honestly had to acknowledge.

It’s not like he was just moderately good-looking either.

Maybe because the gap in class was too huge, they could only express pure admiration.

“You just need to walk 10km with me! We can chat about this and that while walking!”

“Yes!”

– Chatting about this and that lolololololol

– Is EV being shy?

– I see an unfamiliar blush on her usually confident face

– Hahahahahaha

– But with those looks, I’d really be nervous too

– Hmm, I think I’d get excited too

– ?

So EV racked her brain trying to keep the broadcast entertaining during the 10km walk.

About 3 minutes had passed.

‘…What, is this screwed?’

– Why isn’t he saying anything?

– There’s a reason he’s a bottom-tier streamer

– No seriously, he’s fucking terrible at this

– It’s not even an interview, he just answers what she asks

– And after answering he doesn’t look at EV and keeps looking around?

– Looks fucking rude

Glancing at Mungi who was just walking without saying anything, she had an intuition that the broadcast was going to hell.

‘No way, he was definitely acting all enthusiastic about helping with everything when we first met, so why is he like this now!’

Did she suddenly get camera anxiety now that she’s actually in a real broadcast?

Or was she flustered because there were more viewers than expected?

Should I send her away appropriately even now?

While all sorts of thoughts were running through my mind.

Suddenly Mungi’s expression hardened completely, and he bent down.

“…Wh-what are you doing?!”

Then suddenly he brought his face close to my ear.

I held back because he was handsome, but if he’d been even slightly less attractive, I would have hit him right away.

But then.

“But there’s something I’m really curious about.”

At Mungi’s following words.

“There’s been a man following us since earlier, do you happen to have a separate manager?”

“…What?”

EV’s expression rapidly hardened.
