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

---

“Are you leaving then?”

The school’s been dark for a long time because the power’s out, even in the daytime.

Two people stand facing each other in the hallway where light spills in from the window.

One is Yeon-ah, the high school girl leading the students of this school.

The other is a guy who briefly came to the school but is now the representative of a survivor group that has joined forces to fend off the zombies.

“We have to go since we haven’t found anything yet.”

“Be careful.”

“Of course, it’s a dangerous world out there.”

Leaving the school is no simple task.

Just a year ago, it would have seemed like an ordinary action.

But now, in this world, it’s something that requires risking your life.

“By the way, don’t you have any thoughts about it?”

“What do you mean…?”

“I’m talking about the suggestion I made. The school is safe now, isn’t it?”

Yeon-ah is indeed the best at leading the students gathered here.

Despite being a high school girl, she fights zombies as well as any adult man, maintaining calmness and positivity in any situation, which the guy greatly respects.

He thinks it would be great for her to join his group, but…

“I’ll have to decline.”

It’s a pity, but Yeon-ah has chosen the school.

It’s simply because her friends are here, and there might be other friends who will come looking for her.

“We promised to be here.”

After the zombie crisis began and the school started to stabilize, Yeon-ah still remembers her friends who said they would come looking for their families.

Therefore, she couldn’t accept such a proposal.

“But if you come back anytime, I’ll help you.”

However.

Yeon-ah doesn’t forget the help she received.

She was originally an outsider who flowed into the school.

But she was a huge help in stopping the hidden zombie waves within the school.

As long as she doesn’t break her promise, she always plans to lend a hand.

“I won’t forget that promise.”

“Well, I hope you won’t need my help when we meet again.”

“Hahaha, right.”

And thus, the conversation between the office worker leading his group and the high school girl ended.

“Well then, safe travels.”

“Got it.”

They each returned to their respective groups.

This marked the end of the commotion that had lasted for several days at school.

After filming wrapped up.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

I bowed deeply, greeting more enthusiastically than I ever had.

“Thank you too! You did great!”

“It was really nice!”

This was, after all, the final shoot.

Filming in this closed school while wearing a school uniform was completely over.

“Thank you very much!”

So, I took the time to thank each and every actor and staff member.

Everything should be wrapped up nicely.

“You all worked hard.”

“Oh no, it’s nothing.”

“We were the ones who were more thankful.”

I went around greeting the supporting actors who had helped a lot during filming.

“Oh, Soo-hyun!”

“Director!”

I saved the best for last, heading over to the director.

“It was a wonderful experience.”

“Haha, I enjoyed it even more.”

Although I had avoided him here and there.

As an actor, he truly was an excellent director.

Who could hate a director that was sincere about his work?

“Thanks to your performance exceeding my expectations, the scene turned out great.”

“Oh no, it’s all thanks to everyone who filmed together.”

No matter how well I acted.

If the makeup, filming location, and fellow actors weren’t up to standard, the picture wouldn’t come together, would it?

In that sense, this filming location was the perfect place to create a work of art.

The actors were great, the staff was friendly, and above all, the director holding the brush was passionate.

“I hope we can see you in Season 2.”

“Haha, I’ll be sure to cast you first.”

“Just hearing that is great.”

Because it was the last time, I exchanged warm words with the director.

Yeah, I might have avoided him a bit in the middle, but didn’t it end on a warm note?

“Oh, by the way…”

“Yes?”

“I think once the snow really starts and the roads freeze, the zombies will…”

“…Eeep, it’s late.”

Well, that curiosity might be a bit troublesome.

But it’s a relief that it’s finally over.

“Then, I’ll visit occasionally.”

“Haha, yes, come whenever you want.”

With that.

After saying goodbye, I changed clothes and packed my school uniform into a shopping bag.

“Am I really taking this?”

“Yes, yes, take it as a memento.”

Honestly, I wondered what I’d do with my school uniform after taking it, but still, it’s a souvenir.

I neatly packed my red padded jacket into the shopping bag and got into the car.

“What’s that…?”

“Oh, my shooting costume.”

“Oh, I see, you’re packing that too.”

“It’s a keepsake.”

Is this my first commemorative outfit?

I returned the hanbok from Lady Soo-yeon, and most of the luxury clothing worn by Sera was sponsored by the drama.

The dress shirt of Jisoo? Well, I’ll have many more occasions to wear that.

Thinking back, I hardly wore casual clothes while filming.

Hanbok, luxury clothes, school uniform, formal wear.

I realized I’ve worn quite the variety.

Maybe next time I’ll try for a more ordinary role?

Isn’t there a role for a casual company employee somewhere?

It wouldn’t be so bad to appear in everyday clothes in front of the camera.

But anyway…

“Next, we head to The Six Company, right?”

“Yes, please.”

For now, I should finish all my pending tasks and start thinking about the next project.

There’s the concert recording, an awards ceremony, and even filming for Credit Season 2 left.

And I haven’t even decided what to do for the awards ceremony yet.

“Manager.”

“Yes?”

“Is there any chance we might not go to the awards ceremony?”

This is becoming a problem the more I think about it.

Why am I given this choice?

“…If you truly wish for it, we can skip it.”

“Otherwise, we could do a live recording for the performance, and as for the award… um…”

No matter how I think about it, it seems impossible to do both.

The timing of the awards ceremony is close, plus the distance between the broadcasting stations is far.

Should I opt for the music award, which seems more certain?

Our drama has plenty of other main actors, so I don’t think anyone would notice if I weren’t there.

And since the music award topped the charts, it seems like something I should attend.

Right, it’s better to go for what’s confirmed…

“Oh, and there’s something the director mentioned today.”

“What is it?”

“He said you’re likely to win the Popularity Award.”

“Oh.”

…Mmm, if the award is half-confirmed, that makes it tricky.

Can’t we just send the composer for the music award?

I need to decide soon, but I’m still troubled.

But anyway…

“We’ve arrived.”

“Oh yes, we got here quickly.”

Now that we’re at The Six Headquarters, I need to focus on this side of things.

“I’ll head up.”

“Alright, I’ll come back later to match the time.”

Since there’s another schedule later, Park Kang-seok decided to take a short break nearby.

Thus, he entered The Six building alone.

“Hello.”

“Yes, welcome Miro!”

I’ve been here quite often lately.

Mainly for recording.

But thankfully, it’s almost over now.

Since I started recording videos gradually since Tenshi’s visit, we’re now at the stage where we only need to record a few group songs.

I was worried when we first began preparing for the live concert, but surprisingly, with some spare time, it worked out.

“If you go in here, everyone is inside.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Following the staff’s guidance, I made my way to the studio, where I saw the other members already there preparing.

“Oh, Soo-hyun’s here?”

“Put this on.”

Since I was in the studio, as always, I put on the equipment for motion capture.

I’ve really gotten used to this by now.

In fact, the equipment has improved so much that it’s now lighter and easier to wear.

It’s understandable why other VTubers would come to The Six Headquarters for filming.

“Today we’re doing Celestial Realm, right?”

“Yep, our debut song.”

Today is the day we record the group song “Celestial Realm” from the first generations.

It’s been a while since I recorded this song.

Wasn’t it almost the last time during my solo concert?

Moreover, since it’s not a song I frequently performed, I struggled quite a bit while practicing.

“You all practiced a lot, right?”

“Yes, yes, don’t worry!”

“Let’s match our movements!”

While I’m confident, seeing as we’ve practiced, this is a song for six people, so I’m not sure how it will turn out.

“I’ll stand here… Soo-hyun will be here.”

Under Anna’s direction, who has experience as a musical actor, we set the formation and started the rehearsal as we practiced.

But as expected…

“Ahh!”

“My foot got tangled!”

Trying to film properly after avoiding it ended up tangling us up.

Everyone practiced, but coming together to match is a whole other ordeal.

“Was this dance really this hard?”

“I’m supposed to be here….”

Fortunately, the good news is.

As we did other songs, everyone quickly got used to the recording again.

“Felt like we did okay just then?”

“Let’s try that again?”

Repeating a few times, we finally got the hang of it.

“Now we all sing our parts during this.”

“Let’s give it a shot.”

Now that the choreography’s set, we just need to match the singing to our parts.

It’s a recording, but…

Since it’s a live recording, we must do it properly.

It might seem like a show, but…

How to put it, out of the utmost honesty?

We can’t record the singing separately from the dance when we call it live.

As a result of our time and effort.

“That’s a wrap!”

“Perfect!”

“Now we just need to watch the recordings.”

Somehow, we managed to finish the recording within the scheduled time.

“Phew.”

That was pretty tiring.

I felt a bit worn out because I rushed in right after finishing filming.

I’ve been neglecting my exercise lately, haven’t I? I can feel my once high stamina slipping away.

“Soo-hyun, drink this!”

“Thank you.”

Anna brought me water.

From the way she carried the water bottle, it seems she was sharing it with the other members too.

“We filmed so well….”

“Wow, it turned out really great!”

“Soo-hyun’s vocals are different, huh?”

As I drank water, I watched the members gathered in front check the video we had filmed.

On the screen, characters mirroring our recorded actions moved around.

It made me think how much those characters had changed in the meantime.

…Speaking of which, I’ve released quite a few new outfits myself.

The Six only made me three, after all.

Just announcing them and then getting too busy to wear them afterward, I remember that well.

…I should wear a new outfit on a broadcast either today or tomorrow.

Hmm, can I make it happen?

I briefly thought about what other schedules I had.

The next concert recording is next week, and the others are a ways off…

As for today, I have an ad shoot on the agenda….

“Oh.”

Now that I think about it, I received a message a few days ago.

A few days prior.

I was informed that the editing of the daily manager video I shot with Moon Chang-sik was completed.

Now I need to film the reaction video with the panelists….

That’ll be happening soon too.

I’m curious how they edited it, so I’m looking forward to it.

Well, anyway.

With that, I finished the recording that day and handled the remaining schedules.
