Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t been there
The business methods of hosts were actually pretty similar no matter where you went.
When hosts see someone of the opposite gender, they immediately strike up a conversation or suggest coming into their shop.
The most important thing at this moment was, needless to say, the host’s face.
In the entertainment industry, the most important thing was the service provider’s appearance.
Usually the shop’s ace or future aces would come out and work hard to attract customers.
Of course, there were also some really super elite big shots who didn’t do this.
Now that hosts’ power was weakening due to recent regulations, most of them had their aces out there.
Nighttime Kabukicho.
A space filled with countless touts, runaway youth, and brilliant neon signs.
An entertainment district that anyone who had played games set in modern Japan would recognize.
That place was currently.
“Eh, what’s that?”
“What is it?”
“A celebrity? Who came?”
“The crowd gathered in one spot.”
A phenomenon they had never experienced before was occurring.
People who should normally be holding flyers and promoting their shops.
“…”
A scene where they focused their gazes on one spot and stared intently without saying a word.
Was it a celebrity? A famous person? But the moment they came to places like this, it would be controversial.
Since they had no choice but to be careful, the current situation was extremely unusual.
Therefore.
“What is it, why all the commotion? What’s going on?”
Even people who weren’t interested naturally turned their heads that way and moved their feet.
Filming? Actor? Celebrity? Various stories could be heard, so it seemed like someone famous had come.
When several people pushed through the crowd and headed toward the center, the first thing they saw was.
“…Huh?”
An impossibly handsome man.
To the point where they felt they were seeing such a good-looking person in real life for the first time.
From his striking features to his solid physique that looked like it was built with steel bars.
A man who could have stepped out of a masterpiece painting was standing there.
“More people gathered than I expected, I was just going to choose from about 3 people like yesterday… Hmm, this is troublesome.”
The words he spoke were in Korean, so they couldn’t interpret what he was saying.
But what was certain was that this man was the cause of this situation, and judging by how he had the camera pointed toward himself.
‘YouTuber? Broadcaster?’
He didn’t seem to be just an ordinary person either.
But I really have seen him somewhere, where did I see him?
An appearance that didn’t feel completely unfamiliar, a familiar feeling even though this should be the first time seeing him.
While people were thinking about where this sense of déjà vu came from.
“Love Code, Mungi! It’s Mungi-san!”
“Eh, eeh… Really? He’s even more incredible in person…”
From somewhere, information about the man before their eyes came flowing out.
Love Code? I remember hearing about that.
Wasn’t that the thing that was so popular it appeared constantly on YouTube Shorts at one point?
And if we’re talking about Mungi from there.
‘He’s the owner of the Lemon Water.’
That person is just standing around like that on the streets of Kabukicho right now?
‘Holding a Hunting Available… T-shirt?’
Is this reality? Just as things were feeling very surreal.
People looked around at the hosts nearby.
Their expressions were very unpleasant.
And rightfully so, since he was interfering with their workplace.
If someone else had done it, it would have just been a joke, something they could laugh off as WWE.
But because he was doing it with that face, it was drawing people’s attention and becoming UFC that was causing problems for business.
But they couldn’t really say anything about it either.
Honestly, it’s not like there aren’t one or two unusual people on these entertainment district streets.
Besides, it wasn’t direct business interference either, he was just standing there on the street.
Since hunting and such wasn’t illegal, there wasn’t really any action they could take.
Some hosts even had.
“Um, excuse me… weren’t you going to come with us?”
“Eh, sorry, wait um… could you leave for a bit? I want to see more of Mungi-san right now.”
They were 90% done with their work when they faced a 10% probability natural disaster.
Their customers were futilely stolen away right before their eyes.
If Mungi had actively done business and stolen them away, they could have tried something.
But all he was doing was just casually sitting somewhere holding a Hunting Available T-shirt.
It was very futile to be defeated by the pure power of appearance.
And in that situation.
Mungi, who could be called the center of attention.
“This got way bigger than I thought? With this many people gathering, how do I choose 3?”
– Let’s start the Mungi Host Survival
– Hahahahahaha
– You really have no plan, do you?
– A bastard whose only decent part is the beginning
– The beginning wasn’t even decent though
– How are you going to handle this situation, look at that crowd, are you crazy
– Ta-da-da† Breaking news) NASDAQ 17822 ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– That’s insane
– You’ve really made a mess that can’t be cleaned up
– This is almost like a Concert Hall, isn’t it?
I was surprised by the crowd that had grown much larger than expected.
++++++
‘I thought of this content just to casually do for a few hours.’
The crowd was too serious, so I couldn’t choose anything.
I said Hunting was possible, but no one was actually approaching to talk.
Everyone was just holding cameras, filming me and watching.
To be precise, when someone tried to approach and talk to me.
“Are you really going? Then… this will disappear?”
“Who’s ruining the mood?”
They’d hear criticism from the unspecified masses and quickly back away.
I felt like just putting down a Plastic Sheet, busking for Money, and deciding who to drink Alcohol with based on donation amounts.
But that didn’t seem right, so I gave up on it.
In the first place, opening a Street Karaoke in this atmosphere wasn’t the right choice either.
‘But if I don’t make any choice here, it’ll end too anticlimactically and Hell Drop will come for me.’
Even if I wanted to end the situation, there needed to be some kind of proper ending.
The crowd gathered so quickly that I didn’t even have time to think about what to do.
But fortunately.
‘I can still maintain control of the situation myself?’
Despite this many people gathering, nothing particularly problematic had happened.
But if even more people gathered here, problems would arise, so I had to start taking action seriously.
So.
“Everyone, attention! If more crowds gather here, it could cause trouble for people around us, so I’ll start selecting Hunting members!”
I held the Hunting member selection that someone had mentioned in the chat.
How should I do this, what would be the fairest method?
I had really various thoughts, and the cleanest conclusion was.
“We’ll do group rock-paper-scissors, and by the way, only women can participate, so even if men win, it’s useless!”
Group rock-paper-scissors, how fair is that?
When doing rock-paper-scissors, everyone raises their hands above their heads, and it’s a survival format where only those who beat me remain.
Since it’s not about Money and purely about luck.
While there could be complaints about the selection, the fairness could be considered perfect.
And so.
“Then let’s do it! Rock-paper-scissors!”
I played rock-paper-scissors in an alley of Kabukicho, one of Japan’s largest entertainment districts.
And the result.
“Eh, eeh… You, you were a famous person.”
“I, I’m a huge fan of Mungi… I even subscribed! Tier 2! Broadcasting”
“Not today, but tomorrow, tomorrow too… can we meet?”
Someone who doesn’t know me at all, someone who knows me very well, none of that matters – just someone who’s fallen in love with me.
I was able to meet these three as party members.
As soon as I faced the party, one thought entered my mind.
‘Like yesterday, no, I should hang out even less than yesterday and disband.’
If yesterday was just a really natural meeting.
Today’s party was basically formed in a situation full of dopamine.
Everyone’s tension was really high.
‘With this kind of tension, they’ll drink recklessly… hmm, and make lots of mistakes.’
You have to be extremely careful on days when you think everything is going well.
– What, they met through rock-paper-scissors but they’re not partying hard
– Still going to karaoke though
– Karaoke is great~
– Ttaranta† But he’s playing it clean lol I like it?
– What’s there to like when there’s no deep physical intimacy ㅡㅡ
– For real
– But also if Mungi doesn’t get money coming in then hmm lol
– What a f*cking bastard ㄷㄷㄷ
– I don’t know why there are *s in there
– It’s cool lol
So even if it slightly reduced the viewers’ entertainment.
I had no choice but to play as carefully as possible.
‘What is this? It’s not even an adult broadcast.’
Just barely on the edge.
“Mu, Mungi sir…! If you want, you can touch me anytime!”
“Eh? What? Touch what?”
“Me, me…”
“Hey, woman, that’s a service I provide, so what are you thinking saying that?”
“Heh, hehe… So, sorry!”
Playing around at WWE level.
– Hahahahaha hey woman, what the hell are you talking about
– But she’s blushing because the other person has a good face?
– He’s being rude but the woman likes it, why exactly?
– Pouring water on her own… but liking it…
– They’re acting like they’re serving Mungi but why is everyone doing it seriously!!!
– Ttaranta† For real this is kinda grinding my teeth lol
– Mungchu ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Mungchu does Mung Kiss *3*
– Deep Mung Kiss =3=
Walking this line was an extremely important matter.
I kept playing without ever letting my guard down.
Even.
“Girls, stop drinking. I can’t take responsibility if you get drunk.”
“Eh, ehhh…! Yes, yes! Understood!”
I even set drinking limits.
After moderately playing and drinking at the karaoke, our next destination was a yakiniku restaurant.
Here too, we just lightly had some beer and meat.
The bill, naturally.
“Eh, ehh… Mu, Mungi-san?”
“We’ll pay, we will. How could we just freeload?”
“That’s right, that’s right… We, we absolutely must… please let us pay.”
“If you ate well quietly, then shut up and go outside to wait for me.”
“Yes, yesss…!”
I paid.
Sadly, there was no one picking a fight this time.
I would have made them scared the moment they approached, then followed up with a payment combo.
It was truly disappointing.
If there was anything particularly noteworthy.
“Mu, Mungi-san…! Could I ask for an autograph and photo?”
“Huh? Oh, yes well… Yes, sure.”
After finishing the payment and trying to leave, the shop owner came running out asking to take a photo together.
‘But that was quite expensive.’
The yakiniku restaurant definitely felt pricey compared to the portion size.
It didn’t even seem like we properly filled our stomachs, yet it easily went over 100,000 won.
– Wow, you know about Munggi! lol
– Mungi is absolutely not world-class
– He’s not world-class though
– It’s ranked 7th on Netflix so hmm hmm ㅋ
– I won’t acknowledge anything unless it’s 1st place
– What are you gonna do if you don’t acknowledge it? What can you guys even do?
– I’m just gonna cry, okay? lol
– ㅠㅠ
The chat room atmosphere wasn’t bad either, so I felt like a good moment to end the stream had come.
Right at that moment.
“…We, we can’t part ways like this… Should we go to a hotel?”
“That’s right, I… um.. know a spacious place…”
“Let’s drink there too! In the room, they serve it in the room too… alcohol and… hehe.”
The women’s aggressive advances continued.
Though they spoke in roundabout ways, it was almost a direct ‘let’s sleep together’ signal.
Even viewers who didn’t know Japanese at all couldn’t help but understand this.
Because the women’s suggestive gazes and atmosphere said it all.
– Wow
– What the
– Hahahahahaha
– Did you just get a one-night stand request?
– Mungi turn off the broadcast
– I give permission
– Ta-da-da† What are you allowing, are you crazy? lol
– Ttaranta† not a chance
– Ttaranta† you’ll reject them right?
Chat messages flooding in at that moment.
Though there were overwhelmingly more messages telling me to go.
My answer was already decided.
“Ladies, don’t get any strange ideas, let’s disperse here and go home. I’ll take photos for you though.”
Me, virgin Mungi, absolutely could not lose my virginity in such a place without any mood.
It was an absolute rejection.
+++++
Third day of the Japan trip.
Was it because I had spent two incredibly intense days?
“…Wow, should I just really take it easy today?”
I no longer had the energy to do content collaborating with strangers.
The pressure of having to continuously lead this atmosphere proactively.
How exhausting that could be – for me, who was originally an introvert, it was an enormous energy drain.
‘Since I really came here without any plans, just returning to Korea like this might not be bad either.’
Since I had come on a one-way ticket anyway, I could just leave whenever I felt like it.
I was briefly considering just going straight back to Korea.
‘Ah, come to think of it, I haven’t been there.’
I remembered there was one very important place I hadn’t visited.
“Akihabara.”
The holy land of subculture, Akihabara.
True Cultural Invasion couldn’t be achieved without conquering that place.
‘I have to go.’
I immediately decided to head to Akihabara.
