Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber

---

The Song World Cup continued smoothly.

– “It’s the first round.”
– “Isn’t this the second round?”
– “No, it’s the first round.”

Surprisingly, Tenshi blended in well with the chat. Well, her ID was flashy, but you could mistake her for a local with how naturally she typed.

“Hm….”

But everyone says it’s the first round?

Personally, I prefer the latter song. It might be a bit unfamiliar, but the bouncy beat is charming.

“Alright, then I’ll choose the latter~”

– “??”
– “Is this some joke?”
– “Do you have bad hearing?”
– “Haha!”

“Hey, I’m the one choosing for this World Cup! The people’s opinion doesn’t matter.”

– “Damn.”
– “What a dictatorship, ugh.”
– “What is this in a democratic country??”

“Alright, the next song is this one.”

– “Haha!”
– “First round.”
– “This is the second round.”

But while I was doing the World Cup and watching the chat… these people seem a bit slow…

Right now, many Japanese fans came after hearing about Tenshi, but can we really show such a side of Korea?

After all, more than half wouldn’t even be able to read the quickly scrolling chat.

– “Down with Dictator Miro!”

“Down with Dictator Miro? You’re out… whoops, that was Tenshi.”

– “Hahaha!”
– “Why is Tenshi here?”
– “Even the Japanese can’t resist it, right?”
– “Look, the manager is here too, and they’re playing dumb.”
– “This guy is really funny!”

“Alright, here’s the next song.”

– “Haha!”
– “First round.”
– “First round.”
– “Second round.”

This is the strength of the Song World Cup. No matter the topic, as soon as the next song comes out, our brains get reset from choosing songs.

So we can freely speak our minds!

– “Wow.”
– “What!”
– “This is…”
– “Hmm.”
– “Wow.”

Well, sometimes reactions like this happen while listening to songs.

– “Here…”
– “Ugh.”
– “Wow.”

It seems the entertainment industry isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, as there are times when idols make mistakes, and it’s awkward to respond as a broadcaster.

“Hm… Wow, this next song is really good, isn’t it?”

– “True, haha.”
– “Fact: Haven’t listened yet.”
– “This song is so charming!”
– “What?”
– “Wow.”
– “Are we passing this up?”
– “My kids are still nice, though. T_T”

“Alright, here’s the next song.”

– “First round.”
– “Second round.”
– “Haha!”
– “Definitely first round!”
– “Second round.”

And so, the Song World Cup resumed smoothly. Since we had already finished the 128-round, the remaining rounds were bound to pick up speed.

After all, weren’t these songs the ones we heard while doing the 128-round? The 64-round can proceed quickly.

Well, from the 32-round onwards, it gets a bit different.

“Oh, this is tough.”

– “Totally..”
– “It’s finals level.”
– “Of all the two, this one had to come up?”

Now we’re at the point where the songs are good enough to be in the World Cup.

Each one is a monthly number one, including yearly hits, so this becomes really hard to choose.

The quality of the songs is high, and so is the talent, so now it’s purely a matter of taste.

“Hm… Hm….”

And that’s the case for the viewers too.

– “First round.”
– “But it’s the second round!”
– “Are you tone-deaf?”
– “First round, let’s go!”
– “I’ll hold my breath until the second round is chosen.”

The debate over opinions heated up even more than before.

Well, anyway…

“I’ll choose the right one.”

As the host, I do have the final say.

– “??”
– “No, it’s first round!”
– “Let Miro choose.”
– “If you’re upset, why don’t you do your own World Cup, haha!”
– “You know the problematic ones are the ones that dictate everything.”

“Alright, here’s the next song.”

– “First round.”
– “Second round.”
– “Second round.”
– “First round.”

And truthfully, while the chat is intense, when the next song comes out, everyone is busy picking sides again.

And as we carried on like this….

“Hmm….”

The song I promised to bring to the finals appears.

The opponent is not to be underestimated either.

I could just choose based on my feelings, but still— I want to justify this choice to the viewers.

– “Second round.”
– “First round.”
– “Come on, it’s first round!”

“Since opinions are so divided, I’ll analyze both songs before deciding.”

– “Wow.”
– “Interpretation: I’ll choose however I want, so just watch.”
– “This is first round for sure…”
– “Just choose already; geez.”
– “Spoiler: babbling while picking my initial choice.”
– “Oppa, which of the two is better?”
– “Second round.”

But these guys… they don’t seem like they’d even listen to me.

I pressed the right song.

Of course, it’s the one I plan to win.

– “???”
– “Huh?”
– “What is this?”

“Analysis complete. Now we’ll proceed with AI-based analysis.”

– “Wow, haha!”
– “Are you choosing based on views?”
– “What a materialistic decision.”
– “Shouldn’t we choose based on principles?!”

“No, we’re going as fast as AI! Now getting the results.”

If there’s no need for explanation, we just need to achieve our goal, right?

From here onward, I relied on my memory and quickly picked songs.

– “????”
– “Ah.”
– “Please.”
– “Keep the broadcast going.”

Spoiler: 10 minutes later, we’ll end the stream…

And so, I reached the finals quicker than I expected.

“Alright, it’s the finals.”

– “There’s no one to go against.”
– “Second round.”
– “Please don’t end the stream!”
– “It’s first round.”
– “You’re not leaving after this, are you?”

I had made it here without any issues, but I couldn’t pick songs without listening to them until the finals, so I played them one by one.

– “This is it.”
– “Wow!”
– “Hmm… is that really enough?”
– “This song is amazing!”
– “This is the winner.”

“Hmm, now the next one.”

– “Haha!”
– “Hmm…”
– “Definitely this one, haha!”
– “It’s really different.”
– “Is that really enough?”

Listening to the full version of the song from the start, I made an objective evaluation in my heart.

“This is the winning song.”

The winner was the song I had chosen along with Tenshi from the very beginning.

Hmm… I realized I hadn’t made good use of Tenshi.

Wait a minute…

I saw Tenshi chatting just a moment ago.

– “Haha! This is it! Hahaha!”

Since she was enjoying herself so much… I had to let her enjoy it.

Anyway, I chose the winner and it was time to end the broadcast.

– “Oh, please.”
– “Don’t go.”
– “I’m sorry…”
– “That Indonesian song? Let’s do that…”

Even though I hadn’t even said I was ending, the chat already felt like a funeral.

“See you next time.”

Well, I’m not planning on streaming any longer, though.

– “Shangyan…”
– “Don’t go…”
– “Can you do a bit more?”

Seeing the chat improve as I was leaving made me chuckle wistfully.

But the time was late, so I ended the stream without regret, and afterward, I received a message from Tenshi.

[Su-hyun! I’m sorry! I accidentally chatted with my main account…!]

As soon as the call connected, Tenshi said this apologetically.

It seemed she was worried about causing issues in the broadcast by showing up with her main account by mistake…

“Well… you seemed to enjoy it, though?”

[Ah, no, that’s… but since it’s out there now…]

“Hahaha, you did well. But can I ask you something?”

[Huh? Yes, go ahead! You can ask anything!]

“Do you watch my stream often?”

[Yes! Do you know how much I’ve been paying attention?]

It definitely seems like judging by how she was chatting today, she’s been here more than a couple of times…

“So, can you tell me your sub-account ID?”

[Huh?]

“You said you’re sorry, right? So just tell me your ID.”

[Um… um…]

Tenshi looked quite troubled when I asked her for her ID.

…What exactly did she chat about to react like that?

“Please tell me quickly. I’m curious.”

I pressed a bit harder to satisfy my curiosity.

I’m sorry, but I need to know.

However…

[Um… um… sorry!]

*Ding!*

Tenshi abruptly hung up and ran away.

“…What?”

What on earth did she chat about to run off like that?

Sometimes I jump into streams with a sub-account to mess around a little, but it’s not that embarrassing, is it?

That day, I went to sleep with a feeling of curiosity lingering in my heart.

**

Early in the morning, I finished getting ready and left the house.

“Where are you going?”
“Um.”
“What about breakfast?”
“I’m fine.”

As I stepped out, I could see Mrs. Jang happily preparing something busy in the kitchen and Manager Kim still before heading to work.

“Where are you off to this early?”
“To meet a friend.”
“Oh….”

Because today is the day I meet Tenshi.

That’s why I set off for the airport so early.

Tenshi said she was fine with it, but… isn’t this a romantic thing?

I packed my sketchbook and prepared a sign just for today.

Thus, I headed to Incheon Airport.

It feels like just yesterday that I went there on my trip to Japan, but quite some time has passed since then.

Thinking back, it feels like time is flying by lately. I certainly didn’t feel this way before.

Anyway, it took quite a while, but I arrived at Incheon Airport, and it was relatively quiet.

Since it was a weekday and early morning, except for the occasional passerby, it was almost empty.

As I sat waiting in the lobby, an announcement came that the flight had arrived, and shortly after, I saw people streaming out from across the hall.

Hmm… is Tenshi among those people?

But there aren’t as many people at the airport as I thought, so using the sign I brought feels… really embarrassing.

Isn’t it usually to help the person being welcomed see easily, especially when there are lots of people?

But there seems to be hardly anyone here besides a few people waiting…

Should I just not hold it up?

No, I can’t.

Aren’t these all memories and experiences?

With the iron shield I’ve trained my heart with through broadcasting, I proudly held up the sign.

Eyes suddenly focused on me.

Moreover, since my appearance isn’t exactly ordinary, the gazes just kept increasing.

As the shield gradually slipped away, my face began to turn red at the same time.

“Su-hyun!”

From one side, Tenshi with her lavender hair dashed over to me.

“Welcome!”

As I warmly greeted her, her face flushed with emotion.

See? It was worth it to prepare!

The effort I made…

“Uh, um, can you please put that down…?”

Oh, was her face flushed not from emotion, but from embarrassment?

“Sure.”

After that, the sign headed straight for the trash can of the airport.

Anyway.

That’s how Tenshi’s visit officially began?
