LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 98
“All you need to do is prepare this in advance!”
“Okay, got it.”
Si-yoon returned to her room with the materials open on her laptop.
I stared at my little sister’s back for a moment before looking at the laptop screen.
The materials were nothing special, just simple content.
A super simple profile to introduce to the viewers and a script for the conversation we would share.
I carefully filled in the blank profile that just had the name ‘Momo Unni’ written on it.
It was such trivial stuff that I finished quickly.
“Let’s see…”
I fiddled with the laptop to look for the desired video on Ttube.
There aren’t many Vtubers besides Momo, but I had seen some pop up in the recommended videos occasionally.
If my memory serves right, there should definitely be some videos featuring ordinary people, even if not many.
And just as I expected…
“Ah, found it.”
I discovered several related videos.
Surely one of them would tease the host of the show, right?
I need to observe how the advance team and seniors do it well.
Learn and apply directly!
“Hehe…”
I eagerly watched the videos.
Some were short clips, while others featured people appearing multiple times.
‘Ooh, I’m going to have to use this one.’
These folks are quite something. So this is how it’s done.
…It might actually be more fun than I thought.
* * *
While Si-hyun was engrossed in exploring, Si-yoon was busy in her room.
After entering, Si-yoon immediately turned on her computer.
She diligently moved her hands to set up additional broadcast settings.
In many ways, she was being meticulous so that viewers could enjoy themselves fully.
…And there was also the thought of herself enjoying it to the fullest.
‘…I’ve received permission for fan art.’
How badly did she want to collab?
Just a few days ago, a viewer even sent fan art titled “Momo Unni Imagination.”
She had also received permission to display it next to Momo Bean’s avatar during the collab stream.
Now she just needed to use it.
‘Not that it really looks like her.’
Heh. Si-yoon smiled lightly.
The sister drawn in the fan art looked like a somewhat more mature Eastern beauty than Momo Bean.
However, in reality, our sister is a beauty whose exotic charm stands out.
Her image is stronger as cute rather than mature.
‘Well, how could you predict that?’
If someone could guess that, they would be akin to a god.
Si-yoon took a sip of the coffee sitting on one side of the desk.
She continued diligently with her work.
As time passed…
News began to spread within the community.
– Vtuber Momo Bean’s family is collabing.
– I heard she’s an older sister. I wonder if her voice is as cute as Momo’s?
– Thinking of Momo’s voice, wouldn’t her sister also have that cute vibe?
– Finally, LOL, I’ve been waiting for this every day.
Having family members appear on a Vtuber broadcast was quite a hot topic.
Many viewers eagerly anticipated Momo Bean’s stream to start.
When the scheduled live stream began…
– Ooooh!
– She’s here!
– I thought I was going to die waiting!
– Collab! Collab!
Even though Momo Unni hadn’t appeared yet, the viewers were already in a frenzy of excitement.
Messages shouting for the collab and Momo Unni kept flooding in.
Si-yoon smiled.
Momo, as her avatar, mirrored that smile.
“Hello, everyone!”
Momo exchanged greetings with the viewers skillfully, just like in her usual streams.
After finishing a casual opening, Si-yoon quickly skimmed through the chat log.
Soon, she spoke in a playful voice.
“Hmm, it’s not even time for our Unni to debut yet, and everyone’s already excited?”
– Hurry up and bring Unni!
– Quickly, quickly, quickly!
– Holding my breath until Momo Unni comes!
The simple fact of having family appear was already this much excitement.
What would happen when they heard our Unni’s voice?
Si-yoon chuckled as she read through the chat log.
“Before everyone passes out, you have to call her quickly. Please wait a moment!”
– Ooooh!
– Finally!
– Hurry up!
Si-yoon, having turned off her mic, opened the door and peeked her head out.
Si-hyun, who was watching the live stream on TV, turned her head.
“Unni, hurry up!”
“Ugh…Uhmm…”
Si-hyun replied awkwardly, as it felt a bit shy to think she was actually going to appear.
The intensity of the chat was much stronger than usual.
Si-hyun awkwardly stood up and asked.
“If I were to say I’m not going to do it now… that wouldn’t be acceptable, right?”
“Of course not! If you do that, I really will get mad.”
“Ah, that’s just talk…”
Si-hyun slowly walked into her sister’s room.
While she had seen her from the doorway before, this was her first time actually stepping inside.
One side of the wall was neatly decorated with soundproof panels, and on the desk, various monitors and equipment gleamed in place.
Additionally, cute props including Momo Bean merchandise were arranged on one side of the room.
Because of that, this place felt more like a woman’s personal space.
The air was different too.
The sweet fruity scent of the shampoo Si-yoon always used subtly tickled her nose, filling the room.
“So this is how Momo’s room looks…”
“Oh, speaking of which, you’re finally here! Sit here, Unni!”
“Okay.”
When Si-yoon lightly tapped the cushion of the chair next to her, Si-hyun sat down demurely.
The cushion had a cute peach-shaped character drawn on it.
As she gently stroked it, the texture felt quite pleasant.
While Si-hyun was lost in her thoughts…
Si-yoon displayed the fan art on the broadcast screen next to the avatar.
“Ah, ah! Everyone, I brought her along!”
– She’s here!
– Unni!
– Oooooh!
– Hello!
“Unni, say hi. Say hi!”
“…Ah, okay. Hello, everyone. I’m Momo’s… sister.”
Si-hyun awkwardly scratched her cheek.
It was the first time she referred to herself as Unni out loud.
It definitely felt strange, but it didn’t seem impossible.
After all, people are adaptive creatures.
– Welcome!
– Wow, her voice!
– The voice is insane;
– Thinking of Momo, she’s definitely cute too!
– LOL why is she so cute?
Chat messages poured in praising her voice.
Si-hyun glanced lightly through the comments and smiled faintly.
Even if it’s just light praise, to receive it so instantaneously like this; it’s surely one of the great advantages of internet broadcasting.
Si-hyun sent a smile, invisible to the viewers.
“Thank you for the compliments, everyone.”
– Ooh;
– My ears might melt.
– LOL I’ve been hit by your voice!
– One more smile, Unni! One more smile, Unni! One more smile, Unni!
– Momo, thanks for your hard work!
– From today onward, Momo Unni will be doing the broadcast!
“No, why are you suddenly trying to graduate me?”
Si-yoon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She had expected that if the viewers heard her Unni’s beautiful voice, they would cheer.
But the responses were much more intense than she imagined.
– We’ve found a new love!
– The throne is meant to be inherited!
– LMAO!
– Hahaha.
“Oh, everyone knows that’s just a joke. Now, let’s introduce Unni lightly! The conversation will continue after the introduction.”
Si-yoon smiled as she continued the broadcast.
She could see the tension on her Unni’s face slowly melting away.
If things went smoothly like this, it should be fine.
“Unni, what are your hobbies?”
“Watching Momo Bean’s live streams.”
“Um, okay… Thank you as always.”
– What an immediate response, LOL!
– Look at Momo getting tongue-tied, LOL!
– Turns out Unni is a fan too, LOL!
– LOL indeed!
“Cough! Next introduction. What do you like?”
Si-yoon asked, her cheeks reddening.
She had given the list of questions, but since she hadn’t shared the content, she felt a bit flustered.
Once again, an immediate response came.
“Teasing Momo Bean alongside the viewers in the chat?”
“Ah…”
– ROFL!
– LMAO!
– Colleague! LOL!
The viewers were laughing hysterically.
Si-yoon hesitated slightly and asked, “Um, Unni. Can we not tease her… especially when it’s about sending messages sometimes?”
“…That’s not easy.”
– She’s hesitating and answering, LOL!
– True, it’s not that easy, LOL!
– How can one resist free donations? LOL!
– Unni’s gonna die from laughter, LOL!
“Ah, I see…”
Si-yoon froze for a moment.
However, she quickly regained her focus.
“…Next. Is there anything you dislike?”
“…Um.”
Si-hyun almost instinctively answered ‘heroes’.
While saying it wouldn’t result in anything catastrophic, it’s better to be cautious.
Calmly, she retrieved the original answer she had prepared.
“Still not releasing new merchandise for Momo Bean.”
“…No, why does every answer turn into that…”
“Because this is Momo Bean’s broadcast?”
“That’s true, but…”
– LOL!
– True words, LOL!
– Since it’s Momo’s broadcast, it’s only right to discuss things related to Momo, LOL!
– Unni’s really good at this, LOL!
The viewers cheered passionately for Momo Unni.
Momo, with her usual carefree personality, might have her mental state shaken by games, but it’s rare to see her flustered.
Seeing Momo like this was indeed a rare sight!
And that was precisely the kind of raw enjoyment it brought.
– But it seems the two are pretty close, LOL!
– For real, their sisterly bond seems great!
– Momo and Momo Unni are biological sisters, right?
Si-hyun was gradually adapting to the broadcast atmosphere.
Contrary to her worries, interacting with the audience was a delightful experience.
Regaining her composure, Si-hyun thought calmly.
‘Maybe it’s thanks to having done rehabilitation well at the Academy?’
Si-hyun tilted her head once and replied to the chat she’d read.
“…You asked if Momo and I are real sisters, right? We were family once, and then we weren’t, but we became family again.”
– ??????
– Huh??????
– What does that mean?
Numerous question marks flooded the chat.
Si-hyun smiled leisurely and spoke again.
“The details are an adult’s secret. Anyway, we are family. Hehe…”
– Heeeh…
– Your laugh just makes all the curiosity disappear!
– Please, one more laugh! One more laugh!
– Your voice is just insane!
The chat exploded with excitement.
While absentmindedly watching this unfold, Si-yoon suddenly realized.
“Wait, it’s not me but Unni who’s hosting the broadcast…?”
– For real, LOL!
– Hahaha!
– Momo, let’s do well, LOL!
– Unni’s broadcast talent is no joke, LOL!
“…Ahem. That’s all for the introductions! Now I’m going to take your questions. Please let me know anything you’re curious about regarding the mama-out or collab!”
The moment everyone waited for had finally arrived!
The viewers passionately participated in the broadcast.
Si-yoon carefully selected questions and displayed them one by one on the broadcast screen.
“Um, first question. ‘Is there a weakness about Momo that only Unni knows?’ Unni, is there such a thing?”
“A weakness? Hmm…”
The Vtuber Momo Bean.
If we’re talking about Momo Bean’s traits and weaknesses…
Si-hyun’s gaze unintentionally drifted towards her sister’s chest.
