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

---

I initially thought that when Tenshi arrived in Korea, she would want to do some sightseeing, but she shook her head and said,

“Let’s go straight to the company!”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Yes!”

Her main purpose was live recording, but… is that really okay? Well, since it’s Tenshi’s opinion, we headed straight to The Six Headquarters.

Unusually for someone who traveled, Tenshi had very little luggage. Just a backpack, really? It wasn’t stuffed at all.

“Why is your luggage so light?”

I asked this while we were on the subway towards The Six Headquarters, and Tenshi just grinned and said,

“Because I can just buy everything here!”

“Um….”

If that’s how it is, I have nothing to say. I guess traveling can be light if you have money.

“Therefore, after we finish recording, you have to take me to the department store!”

“Oh, the department store?”

“Yes!”

Well, I can take her to the department store. Honestly, Tenshi did say she would give me a full tour of Korea, but the schedule was a bit ambiguous. How good could I plan it anyway? It’s better if Tenshi just takes charge of what she wants to do.

After we decided to go to the department store together, we got off at a station near the headquarters and walked.

However….

“Wow, Korean subway station!”

As soon as we arrived at the station exit, Tenshi exclaimed with her eyes wide open.

…Thank goodness there weren’t many people around.

I mean, I was also fascinated the first time I came to a Japanese subway, so I understand.

But….

“Wow! Korean convenience store!”

“Wow! Korean apartment!”

“Wow! Korean building!”

“Wow! Korean people!”

“Me?”

“You’re definitely Korean, right?”

“Yeah, well….”

I can’t argue with that, but it’s embarrassing when she gets so excited over everything.

Why is someone who lived well in a Japanese city looking around like this?

It only takes a few minutes to walk from the station to the headquarters, so how can there be so much to marvel at?

While Tenshi was gazing around, she soon arrived at the headquarters building with her eyes sparkling.

“Wow… Is this building the company?!”

“Huh? No, we only use a few floors here.”

“Eh—ah…”

Surely it can’t be a company that takes up the whole building.

Well, it would be nice if it were, but… that’s still a long shot.

Once we entered the building, the manager, whom I rarely saw recently, was there to greet us.

“Oh! Welcome! And you are…?”

“Yes! I’m Tenshi!”

“Wow! Just as I thought!”

The manager welcomed Tenshi even more enthusiastically than me and guided us to the ready studio.

Honestly, having the studio in the same building as the company must have cost quite a bit, right?

There must be some detailed reasons for having it set up here, but I have no idea since I’m not involved.

We took the elevator and arrived at a place that clearly had a studio vibe.

Somehow, it reminded me of the atmosphere of the broadcasting set where I first met Director Goby last time, even though the size would definitely be smaller and the equipment would be different.

Nonetheless, the studio looked much better than I had expected, which relieved me.

“I see the reason for the proud statement now.”

“Oh… It’s nice!”

Tenshi seemed to be impressed as well.

“Okay, let me give you a tour.”

The manager then took us around, explaining the various facilities.

From the waiting room to various amenities, it really felt like a proper company.

Is this really how things are in the Celestial Realm not ending with just Season 1 and 2?

In this somewhat smaller market of Korea, I wondered if that was right, but… well, if it goes well, that’s good for me too.

If there really is a 10th season, I would become the ultimate senior of Season 1, right?

As I anticipated the day that might come, I entered the filming location alongside Tenshi, guided by the manager.

“Oh….”

The ceiling, walls, and floor were all covered in green. Is this chroma key? There seems to be a camera over there filming us.

So if it’s chroma key… do I have to wear that green bodysuit?

I didn’t really mind, but I thought it would be quite hilarious, and just then, the manager handed us blue bands.

“What is this??”

“Oh, this is a tracker.”

“This?”

It just looked like a blue band, albeit a bit thick.

“Oh, so you use this here as well!”

But Tenshi, seemingly familiar with it, started attaching bands to various joints—beginning with her wrists, then elbows, and even around her neck.

“Do you put it on your neck too?”

“Yes! It helps with recognition.”

I see… But still better than a bodysuit, I guess?

In reality, even if I were given a bodysuit, I would have to shut up and wear it, so for now, I strapped bands to different parts of my body, following Tenshi’s lead.

“Wow, having someone experienced really makes it easier.”

While watching us, well mainly Tenshi, the manager wore a pleased smile and began the next round of instructions.

Isn’t he being a bit too favoritistic?

I might look casual, but I’m the unofficial first hype of the Celestial Realm, you know?

“First, make yourselves comfortable and call us when you’re ready. We will do a test shoot before calling in the cameramen for the real filming.”

…Until now, I hadn’t truly realized it, but hearing that the cameramen were coming really made it feel real.

It’s going to be serious; I’m glad I practiced singing and dancing on my own.

“Then, please practice comfortably.”

Saying this, the manager exited the set, allowing us to be alone.

But should we really practice here? Everything’s green… If only there were a mirror, it would be easier to check my form.

“Okay, let me show you the movements!”

Yet Tenshi skillfully led the way.

As expected… With someone experienced, there’s no chance to get lost.

“Now, first here like this….”

…Wait, will I have to lead when I’m with the members?

Oh no… I wish Anna would just come here and gain experience for me instead—such thoughts crossed my mind but quickly vanished.

I shouldn’t be having random thoughts while Tenshi is explaining the movements… I need to focus.

Luckily, I pride myself on having a good memory, so I was easily able to memorize the movements Tenshi had come up with.

It wasn’t all that difficult anyway.

“Then let’s practice the staging!”

“Huh?”

“When I pop out over there singing, you should respond well, Soo-hyun!”

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that.

This is during a live performance, so the entrance and exit must be well connected.

As I considered that, my head began to hurt.

This is more complicated than I thought.

“Let’s do another practice run!”

Thus, the serious practice began and I had to pay for thinking it would be easy.

“Alright, again! Welcome more!”

“You messed up just now! Stronger!”

I absolutely did not underestimate this live recording.

However, I’m currently feeling the consequences of having not taken it more seriously.

“Okay! Take a breath!”

“Wait a moment….”

“Here! Drink some water!”

I think I now understand why Tenshi came straight here from the airport.

She, already a veteran, knew there was no time to waste if she wanted to film at a quality that was satisfactory to her, bringing along someone who is practically a beginner like me!

At this moment, the friendly Japanese Tenshi, who was in awe of the Korean scenery since the subway, was nowhere to be found.

Only the devilish coach Tenshi, whipping the newbie Miro, remained.

“Okay! You two, grab your lunch in the waiting room and continue!”

Even amidst the hellish practice, the manager seemed to think of us, occasionally coming to provide snacks or towels.

That somehow made him all the more irritating.

Anyway, the intense practice came to an end as the position of the sun shifted significantly in the sky.

“Good! Now, shall we do a rehearsal?”

“Okay, let’s take a short break… but I’m already completely exhausted.”

If I hadn’t been consistently training my stamina, I would have collapsed by now.

“Just a little more, you can do it!”

“Yeah, I know….”

We only have two more times to go, right?

After practicing countless times today, a quick breather and a sip of water should be good to go again.

“Are you tired? Or should we postpone and continue tomorrow?”

But did I look too exhausted? Tenshi hesitated briefly before saying.

“No, no. We can do it today.”

However, that can’t happen. It seems the cameramen are already prepared, and Tenshi’s trip to Korea is just a few days.

We can’t waste time here, and besides, I feel the need to perform with a sharpened sense honed through countless practices.

“We absolutely must do it today.”

Perhaps sensing my determination, Tenshi smiled brightly and nodded.

“Alright!”

Then finally, we gathered the cameramen to start the rehearsal.

“Okay, standby.”

I didn’t feel particularly nervous in front of the camera.

Maybe it was because I already had experience filming movies; in fact, I felt my senses becoming sharper rather than anxious.

Speaking of filming movies…

Thinking about it, can’t I utilize what I’ve learned as an actor here?

Why didn’t I think of that sooner?

Now that it’s come to mind, I decided to give it a go immediately.

“Fu….”

I shape the surroundings with my imagination.

The entirely green walls, ceiling, and floor became one stage, while the camera and the cameramen looking at me turned into the audience.

The blue bands plastered all over my outfit became stage costumes, and Tenshi, brightly smiling and bursting onto the scene, is today’s guest.

Yes.

Now I finally feel like something has clicked into place.

I had felt a little stifled during practice, but now it was like that empty space was being filled.

Here, I become once again the top star Han Hye-jin.

Not in a tiny recording studio with a washed-up producer, but in her true venue, the performance hall.
