It’s regrettable

 

“What? VTubers are difficult?”

 

-“Yes, we’re sorry. It seems our preparation is inadequate, and most of it is offline… We need to use facial expressions and all that, so we have content plans prepared that require face exposure… We’re declining VTubers and broadcasters who prefer no-cam. Sorry.”

 

“…”

 

Lera stared blankly at her phone with an expression that showed she never thought she’d be rejected.

 

‘They said no?’

 

If you think about it a little, it’s a natural story.

 

The limitations of VTubers in offline-focused content were clear.

 

Of course, there are VTubers who don’t care much about red pills and work wearing masks.

 

But Lera was originally a VTuber who had no major connection to that side.

 

How else would she have gone secretly when delivering lunch boxes?

 

Sniff sniff.

 

Lera smelled the strong scent of the hoodie she got from Mungi’s house.

 

She gathered her scattered mind and focused on the call again.

 

“Ah, that’s really disappointing. If I did this with Mungi, I could have properly set up the broadcast angle since I had the concert incident and all.”

 

-“Ahaha, exactly. It’s really disappointing. Lera, you’re the type who doesn’t miss broadcast opportunities like this.”

 

While maintaining the disappointed tone, the key was to conclude it as ‘disappointing because I can’t use it as content’ rather than ‘disappointing because I can’t do a virtual marriage with Mungi.’

 

In fact, the person on the other end of the phone was perceiving it that way too.

 

Sniff sniff.

 

“But then… could I know about how many people applied besides me? It’s lightly harem-style and… playful, so I think quite a few people would have applied.”

 

While doing so, she didn’t miss carefully assessing the current situation.

 

Based on woman’s intuition, there were at least three people currently interested in Mungi.

 

‘Yoo Na-kyung… and the mysterious woman who gave Mungi clothes as a gift, or… was it a manager?’

 

And the truly mysterious woman who came out of the restaurant with Mungi.

 

The fortunate thing was that those three couldn’t participate in the virtual marriage show right now.

 

Then who would be applying in this situation?

 

‘The women applying for Mungi’s harem virtual marriage now… so basically an April Fool’s confession?’

 

Disguising sincerity while calling it a confession prank.

 

If it succeeds, great; if it fails, they can claim insurance saying it’s a day for lies.

 

It could be seen as that kind of behavior.

 

Of course, this was only Lera’s thinking.

 

-“Ah, the applicants? This is a secret but… since Lera applied but couldn’t participate, I’ll tell you specially. You can’t leak this before we announce it, right? We’re going public in a few hours anyway…”

 

Anyway.

 

“Ah, yes yes, of course.”

 

Lera calmly listened to the staff member’s explanation of participants that would follow.

 

-“EV, Jjining… and Mumiming.”

 

“What?”

 

She immediately questioned back.

 

Mumiming? Who’s that?

 

++++++

 

Mumiming.

 

Who is she?

 

A female cam streamer who appeared very briefly on the Merc Server.

 

As soon as she asked for a house to be built, a love house was constructed.

 

She was a broadcaster who had actually gotten somewhat acquainted through collaborative streams.

 

“So that means three people – EV, Jjining… and Mumiming?”

 

-“Yes, but this hasn’t been officially announced yet… We’ll release it in a few hours, so just keep it in mind for now! Absolutely no leaking!”

 

“I know, I know.”

 

But since then, I believe she’s had completely no contact compared to the other two.

 

Did she really apply just for fun?

 

‘If that’s the case… that’s troublesome? She can’t handle cleaning duties just for pure entertainment.’

 

Cleaning isn’t fun, so I wonder if she’ll be okay with it.

 

After worrying a bit.

 

– What was that phone call about

 

– Why did you mute

 

– Is it something important?

 

– Explain

 

“I heard that my brides have been decided. It’ll be posted in a few hours, and I absolutely have no intention of saying it now. That’s all.”

 

– ?

 

– Crazy bastard

 

– Making us so damn curious

 

– Hahahahahaha

 

– “My brides have been decided” what bullshit

 

– Are you in your right mind?

 

– Talking like that is also a talent

 

– Hahahahaha fuck

 

I gave the answer that the curious viewers wanted most.

 

“Originally, not knowing the bride’s face until the wedding veil is lifted is the rule at wedding halls.”

 

– But you’re the groom

 

– No, I think he’s saying that because we’re the wedding guests

 

– Ah

 

– (American elementary kid meme with finger pointing up and mouth open)

 

– (Mung-ppo meme)

 

– Mung-ppo *3*

 

– Deep Mung-ppo =3=

 

– Ttaranta† But is there really a need for 3 people? It’s for a whole month, right? Isn’t that too many?

 

“Actually, it’s good being with 3 people for a month, it’s fulfilling… But it’s not like we meet often, at most meeting offline once a week?”

 

I didn’t go into detail, but.

 

It was content with a script prepared to some extent, making it hard to call 100% reality.

 

Of course, that also made it more reassuring in some ways.

 

The fact that 【Garden】 was getting directly involved like this meant they were putting a lot of care into it.

 

I didn’t have to worry about them just going through the motions and leaving me to fend for myself.

 

– But you’re thinking of going on a virtual marriage show right after doing Love Code

 

– Don’t you feel bad for Na-kyung, you bastard

 

– For real

 

– Isn’t this also disguising a real relationship?

 

– But the Mungi x Na-kyung real relationship controversy still keeps coming up

 

– You see the trending posts?

 

“I don’t use communities, I tell you? Gallery, Lemko… I don’t look at that stuff, no, why would I when we have our own cafe.”

 

– Agreed

 

– A man who doesn’t get swayed by communities

 

– Damn

 

– All you’re swinging is some flimsy stuff lol If you actually swung it properly, maybe my mindset would change too? /This is a banned viewer

 

– Disguised Game Teacher is crazy

 

– This is really amateur Game Teacher disguise for real

 

– Beginner disguise skills lololol

 

While continuing to communicate like that and killing time by looking at posts fans uploaded to the cafe.

 

> The announcement is out!

 

> You can reveal it now!

 

“Oh, the day has finally come for my brides to reveal themselves.”

 

A message flew in from the 【Garden】 management team, so I immediately put up the virtual marriage announcement on screen.

 

– Stop talking nonsense about brides

 

– How many are there

 

– Did the announcement go up?

 

– Checking now

 

– It’s 3 people

 

– EV, Jjining, Mumiming?

 

– Holy shit

 

– One female gamer and two female streamers

 

“Obviously all three of them are brides, but entering my heart as a bride is a completely different matter.”

 

– What kind of crazy talk is this now

 

– Are you saying you’re going to interview the brides?

 

“Isn’t that obvious?”

 

Even if it’s just for a month, and even if we’re just pretending for a while.

 

Since I’ve become a harem groom, I need to know how to actively use this.

 

‘From the moment there are three women, if I lose the initiative, it’s over.’

 

Initiative is something you should never lose even in a 1:1 match.

 

Losing the initiative in a 1:3 situation? Then it was obvious what would happen for the next month.

 

“First, EV… honestly, the lunch box tasted fantastic, you know? The eel and… the rice was perfect too, I honestly thought a chef made it.”

 

– Oh right, this bastard got handmade lunch boxes from two women

 

– Lucky bastard

 

– Crazy bastard

 

– C r a z y b a s t a r d

 

– M u n b o b a s t a r d

 

– M u n b o * 3 *

 

– Hold on, hold on, chatting is nice but how about doing some stretching? Did you know that just 5 minutes of stretching a day can improve your spine health? Why don’t you at least stretch your arms? Roll your neck around too to fix that turtle neck posture ㅇㅇ

 

So at times like this, he needed to be even bolder.

 

“Should we start with lunch box interviews?”

 

Now, Jjining and Mumiming.

 

Offer me your lunch boxes.

 

++++++

 

Originally, the first content for the fake marriage was supposed to be meeting each other, breaking the awkwardness, and having conversations about each other.

 

“I think we should do lunch box interviews?”

 

Due to Mungi’s statement, the direction of the first content changed in real-time.

 

Actually having the bride’s side make lunch boxes and give them to the groom.

 

Of course, it would be boring if only one side did it, so the groom’s side would also prepare lunch boxes for an exchange.

 

Lunch boxes given by men and lunch boxes given by women have different feelings.

 

While they would prepare together, the meaning that the lunch boxes carried was completely different.

 

Perhaps that’s why.

 

“Mungi said my lunch box was that delicious? Ah, really? Hmm… well, of course, I’m really good at cooking.”

 

EV, who had already tasted success once with her lunch box, had the composure of a winner.

 

“Ah… I’ve never really cooked in my life…”

 

“I can’t even cook ramen well.”

 

Jjining and Mumiming were in trouble.

 

But what could they do, since they had already said they would agree to most content unless it was truly bizarre.

 

They couldn’t refuse to make lunch boxes just because they lacked confidence.

 

Having suddenly given the women a lunch box mission, Mungi was.

 

“Shoot! Kill them!”

 

Doing his best to shoot guns for victory on the Last Server.

 

The server had changed to survival format, so now if you died completely, revival was impossible.

 

The Last Server war to determine 1st place had begun in earnest.

 

In fact, the result ended as boringly fast as everyone expected, with Mungi Team’s victory.

 

Normally, they should have had an after-party or something here.

 

“I have a meeting… I’m really sorry.”

 

Mungi didn’t attend the after-party due to his busy schedule from the recent 【Love Code】 and went straight to sleep.

 

‘The schedule is tight.’

 

He had to do lunch box interviews in three days.

 

Tomorrow, he had a meeting with Ki Seong-ho, someone he had a connection with from 【Love Code】.

 

Mungi was really feeling his status growing bigger in real-time these days.

 

And the next day at lunch.

 

As soon as the appointment time came, Mungi headed straight to the building of Ki Seong-ho’s fashion brand, 【Mashed】.

 

> Mungi, I have some work today so I can’t do the meeting right away

 

> Sorry, but could you wait in the waiting room? Really sorry

 

> I’ve assigned someone to you, so just follow them

 

> Let’s have the meeting properly then, I’m really sorry ㅠㅠ

 

< OK

 

As soon as he entered, Ki Seong-ho sent a message saying his schedule was running behind.

 

“Mr. Mungi? Please come this way.”

 

“Ah, yes.”

 

So he entered the waiting room with kind guidance.

 

‘A lot of things happened in an instant.’

 

Perhaps because there was nothing particular to do, Mungi fell into thought for a moment.

 

In the case of the Last Server, he took first place in the blink of an eye and brought it to an end.

 

The lunch box interview was the day after tomorrow, and Mungi was muttering like that while coordinating his schedule.

 

Click.

 

A group of people entered the waiting room.

 

Five or six people who clearly had strong model vibes came flooding in.

 

“Hello.”

 

“…”

 

As soon as they received Mungi’s greeting, they stared at Mungi intently and then huddled together among themselves to sit.

 

Obvious disregard.

 

‘What?’

 

Is this what territorial behavior is?

 

But why are they acting territorial toward me?

 

While he was tilting his head in confusion.

 

His Extremely Developed Hearing caught the group whispering among themselves.

 

‘No, why is that kid suddenly becoming the face of Mashed?’

 

‘I get that he’s handsome, but he has no modeling experience, right? Is it just happening through connections?’

 

‘How much ass-kissing must he have done just because he was on the same program as the CEO…’

 

‘Why should we be pushed to the back?’

 

“…”

 

He never dreamed he’d end up hearing gossip in real-time.

 

No, since I heard it, is it front-talk?

 

Mungi muttered like that and slowly stood up from his seat.

 

It might have been said for him to hear, or it might not have been.

 

But since he already knew, staying still didn’t suit his temperament.

 

‘Sigh, if I go home tomorrow, there are 3 lovely brides taking turns with lunch box numbers, but here I am listening to gossip in a pepper field.’

 

What a truly dismal feeling.

 

With such thoughts, Mungi instantly headed toward the sofa where the models were sitting.

 

“But why do people gossip?”

 

“Wh, what? Huh?”

 

“When the person involved says this right in front of them, they’d be flustered…”

 

He immediately voiced his complaint.

 

Of course, that didn’t mean he took any particular action.

 

If anything, it was just enough to make them think again about what they had said.

 

“…So, so what?”

 

I don’t know why the fashion brand models and Mungi ended up in the same place.

 

But regardless of the process, the models poured out their jealousy as soon as they saw Mungi.

 

And now they’re facing Mungi like this.

 

‘Wh, what kind of build is that.’

 

In the modeling world, even heights in the late 180s are quite common.

 

Regardless of that, everyone was looking up at Mungi.

 

It wouldn’t matter if they were taller than Mungi.

 

Overwhelmed by his presence, their bodies would naturally lower and their gazes would rise anyway.

 

“You heard? S-sorry but… so what if you heard? Are you going to hit us or something?”

 

You could tell just by looking at his build.

 

What’s standing right in front of them is a human weapon.

 

But surely he wouldn’t actually hit them, right?

 

With such thoughts, the models responded.

 

“…I don’t know how I ended up getting involved with these… one-episode villains who briefly appear… In romance comics terms, are they the thugs who briefly show the male lead’s reliability?”

 

Mungi muttered briefly about the profound world of comics that the models couldn’t understand.

 

“Why would I hit you?”

 

Usually when fights happen at school, there are cases where they’re resolved with force.

 

But that was truly the worst method.

 

Why would teachers and police exist otherwise?

 

So for conflicts that arise in workplaces like this.

 

“I just need to tell Seong-ho hyung.”

 

You just needed to tell the company representative.

 

Yeah, that’s right, goodbye hired gossip models.

 

I’ve had drinks with the boss, went to saunas, did everything.

 

Too bad for you.
