LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 499
Weekend afternoon.
I got a call from Jeong-cheon, my senior.
[Is Soo-hyun coming to the screening this time?]
It’s been a long time since I heard from him, so I wondered what it could be.
He was just asking about my attendance at the screening.
“Um, that’s….”
I was drawn to the awards ceremony, but I had to make a choice.
The public screening for Credit Season 1 and the year-end concert screening.
I can only attend one of them.
[What? You can’t come?]
“Ah… my schedule overlaps.”
[Ah, I see, take your time deciding!]
“Ah, yes, yes….”
…But at the point of the call, I wasn’t feeling very relaxed.
Even if he said to take it easy, he’s the legendary Moon Chang-sik, after all.
Not to mention, considering his age, it felt even more daunting for me.
[Then take a good rest!]
“Yep, have a good weekend.”
More than that, I really realize that the harvest season is just around the corner.
The concert recording has already ended, and the teasers for Credit are all out—first, second, and third already.
Plus, it’s not a drama without substantial funding; they’re really promoting it hard.
Just looking at YouTube, the related videos are overflowing.
Still, since I’ve completed everything I needed to, I have a bit of leisure now.
That’s why, whenever I have time, just like always, I’m broadcasting frequently.
“Hello.”
– Ah, damn
– It’s driving me crazy
– Please stop..
“Why?”
– Can’t you change your clothes??
– As soon as I saw Guan Yu’s outfit, I had PTSD..
– Please, just go back to the basics, Miro..
“Ah-ha.”
Now I get it.
Have I been too obsessed with Romance of the Three Kingdoms lately?
It’s just that ever since the variety show with Moon Chang-sik, the fire hasn’t gone out…
I have to broadcast, but since the fire won’t die down, I had to do some firefighting on my broadcasts.
Maybe that’s why the manager from the Celestial Realm contacted me.
They said they’re out of videos to edit for YouTube and asked me to please stop with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
…Well, I thought I could just edit and upload the Romance of the Three Kingdoms videos, but since the YouTube editing team is working hard, I decided to play nice.
“Today, it’s not Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”
So, I changed my outfit.
The reaction dropped, so I had to switch to Miro’s popular comfy casual look.
– Phew
– Wow, haha
– I thought I was going to die, lol
The viewers sighed in relief at my appearance.
The chat… was somewhat subdued.
In fact, the viewers had already waved the white flag since the third day of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but they got hooked again after a long time, so I did the Celestial Tongue a couple of times more.
– Then what are we doing today??
– If it’s not Romance of the Three Kingdoms, what are we gonna do??
“Ah, I’ve thought of everything.”
Plus, today I have something special.
The manager told me to please stop with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and sent me a package of content.
“Just a moment….”
I briefly hid my VTuber avatar and adjusted the camera.
– ??
– Where did Miro go?
– If you change your outfit again, I’m gonna bite my tongue
“It’s not like that.”
I adjusted the camera slightly down, just enough to show the desk.
I picked up the item I had prepared earlier and placed it on the desk.
“Alright, I’m turning it on.”
Then, when I set up the camera and turned it back on, my room desk appeared where Miro’s avatar was.
– Oh
– Silver button?
– Oh, haha
“I’m going to review the button today.”
From what I heard, they already applied and got the YouTube buttons from The Six.
So when I requested it, they sent it right over.
“What do you think? Can you see it well?”
With the camera on, I waved my hand above it.
Then….
– Ah
– Damn
– What’s with the gloves??
The chat was surprised to see my gloved hand.
“It’s for protecting my personal effects.”
– ??
– What do you mean?
– ????
Didn’t I decide that the last time?
I was going to wear gloves while reviewing the button.
So I currently have black gloves on my hands.
– But dude, what are you wearing?
– Is that pajamas?
– It looks warm, haha
In the meantime, someone noticed my sleeves, and questions started popping up in the chat.
“Ah, yes, these are pajamas.”
Since I’ll be going to sleep right after the broadcast, I’m comfortably wearing my pajamas.
Since I’m only showing my arms, I figured it wouldn’t matter.
– Oh, haha
– What kind of pajamas are those?
– Do you normally wear something like that?
“This is a pajama set that Tenshi gifted me.”
What I’m wearing today is from the pajama collection that Tenshi gave—a polar bear edition.
It’s fluffy and just right for winter.
“Anyway, let’s take a look at the button.”
I knocked on the silver button placed on the desk.
“Hmm… it’s hard.”
– Of course, lol
– But is there anything to review??
– It’s the same old silver button we always see
“Ah, is that so?”
Thinking about it, there have been so many people who reviewed the silver button.
It’s a familiar item to both the viewers and to me.
“But isn’t it cool? My channel name is engraved on it too.”
Right beneath the button, very proudly, is written ‘Miro Channel.’
Seeing it in Hangul feels a bit strange.
– Rather than that, can you take off the gloves?
– Why are you so bundled up??
But the viewers, already used to the silver button, don’t seem to be impressed.
They’re more interested in my appearance on camera instead.
“Seems like you’re not interested, so I’ll put this away….”
Then what should I take out?
I set the silver button down and momentarily stood up to grab the next item.
“Oops.”
It was the gold button.
The gold button was quite heavy, fitting its name.
If it had been before exercising, it might have been difficult.
– Wow, a gold button
– Wow, haha
– This is it
While the viewers were indifferent to the silver button, they marveled at the gold button.
Its size and shiny gold color really catch the eye.
“This one is pretty heavy.”
– Yeah, lol
– They say all of them are heavy
Up close, it just feels like a big silver button…
I tapped it a few times and laid it back down.
“I’m going to wrap this up and send it back to The Six.”
Since there isn’t even enough space for them at home.
I plan to just send it to The Six so they can display it at their office.
I save space at home, and The Six boosts their reputation.
In a way, a win-win situation.
– Is the unboxing done??
– It’s ending so anticlimactically;
– Don’t you have anything else to show?
“Not really… Ah, I do have one more thing.”
The manager didn’t just send the buttons either.
Since he was sending a package, he included a few extra items.
“Just a moment….”
I stood up, grabbed the box that my manager sent.
“Here it is.”
Inside, there were quite a few items.
I picked one that looked decent.
Hmm, but I need to show this one in detail.
I had to adjust the camera a bit higher.
And just like that, my upper body sitting in the chair was fully visible on camera.
– Hahaha
– Those pajamas are so cute, haha
– Is that a bear? haha
“…Again, I’m not wearing this by choice.”
Tenshi sure is something.
Just regular clothes seemed like a safe bet, but she sent me all animal pajamas.
“Anyway, take a look at this.”
Even if my pajama look might circulate in the community later, I’ll think about that later.
For now, I spread out the item I pulled out and held it up for the cam to see well.
– Oh
– What is that??
– It’s so cool, haha
What I displayed on screen was a pretty large wall-mounted bromide.
It features Miro beautifully drawn in her new outfit.
“Pretty, right?”
– Yes, yes, yes, yes
– What is it??
– It’s different from the previous goods
“It’s a new release.”
It’s just one of the new merchandise.
Since the manager said I could spoil it during the broadcast, I decided to show off.
– Wow
– Let me have it now
– Are we doing a giveaway with this one too??
“Well, it might be possible later?”
If there’s any leftovers after selling them, I could always use them for giveaways.
Though I’m not sure if there will be leftovers.
– When will you sell it??
– Is there no more??
– It’s so pretty.
“There are more.”
Since the manager sent me more than just this one.
I took out another item from the box to show.
“This is a wall clock featuring Miro.”
– Oh, haha
– But where would you even put that?
“I would use it to tell time.”
If I nail it on the wall, it would be just right.
I might need to hang one in my living room as well.
– But it is pretty.
– So when are you selling it?
“Right? This one is pretty too, right?”
Since Miro’s character is quite cute, it’s probably the design.
Even though the merchandise is all in pink, it still looks nice.
“Okay, lastly, I’ll show this and wrap things up.”
– Is there more?
– Where are you even selling it??
– Show us more!
“This is my favorite piece of merchandise.”
What I’m about to show is the only item that I actively pushed for during production.
“Oops.”
It’s quite big, so it didn’t arrive with the other items.
“Here’s Miro’s Moon Blade.”
It’s the Moon Blade that was produced to match the new outfit.
It’s about the size of a toy sword.
– Wow, haha
– Look at that quality, haha
– Hahahaha
– This guy’s concept is just…
– Such a dorky Moon Blade, haha
The Moon Blade, a weapon that embodies a man’s dream, received quite the positive reaction.
I knew they would like it.
“Hey, calling it a dorky Moon Blade or whatnot is kinda harsh, don’t you think?”
I mean, it fits the name of Miro Moon Blade, so the base color is pink, and the blade is decorated with Miro drawings.
“It’s surprisingly sturdy enough to be used for self-defense.”
Of course, it’s not sharpened, but it’s quite solid, so it could be used as a blunt weapon.
This should be perfect for self-defense at my front door.
– But they really made a good product.
– I kinda want one, haha.
“Right? This one is pretty pricey.”
I heard that they collaborated with a specialized figure company for production.
Maybe that’s why it’s the highest quality and the priciest among the new merchandise.
“Just a moment.”
I stood up for a moment to show it properly.
– Look at those pajamas, haha.
– When seen in full shot, it’s pretty violent, haha.
– Where can I buy those pajamas??
“…Please focus on the Moon Blade and not my pajamas.”
I opened the soundproof booth door to pull the chair back and adjusted my posture so that just my body and the Moon Blade would show up on the cam.
Swish- Swish-
And when I swung it, it looked quite impressive.
“What do you think? Cool, right?”
– Hahahahaha
– This is hilarious
– Why suddenly the physical comedy?
“Yeah??”
What’s wrong with this?
More than that, it really feels good to hold.
“Moon Blade Charge!”
Swish-
The blade part is quite big, so it’s fun to swing it around.
– This guy is having too much fun alone…
– What’s up with him??
– Hahahaha
Anyway.
“Phew… Phew….”
After swinging the Moon Blade, I sat back down, breathing heavily.
“It is a bit pricey, but you want it, right?”
The reason I was hyping this up was simple.
…Because the price is a bit ridiculous, that’s why.
It’s so big that it would be a problem if there were leftovers, right?
So I have to promote it hard.
– I do want one, indeed..
– Will you be up for a sword fight if I buy that??
“Well, if you come to the fan meeting later, I’ll set up a match for you.”
I may not be able to fight myself, but it would be fun to hold an event where the fans duel each other.
“Alright, anyway, did you enjoy looking at the merchandise?”
– Yes, yes
– So when and where can I buy it? Damn;;
– Can I just buy it from The Six’s website??
“Alright, please check the café tomorrow for the sale date.”
I got a bit carried away with the merchandise promotion.
But if I stated my schedule today, it would be a spoiler, so I shifted the viewers’ interest to tomorrow.
– Oh, haha
– What time will it go up??
“Maybe around 6? Since other members will also reveal the schedule for their merchandise, please take a lot of interest.”
– Okey-dokey, Okey-dokey
– Just try leaving out the stock this time
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
In fact, tomorrow is not just the merchandise announcement day.
More importantly, it’s the day they’ll reveal the schedule for the Celestial Realm year-end concert.
It’s good to have plenty of concert notifications, right?
Besides, there’ll be a little bit of merchandise info too, so it’s not technically incorrect.
“That Moon Blade is really well made….”
And so.
After emphasizing the advantages of the Miro Moon Blade a few more times, I wrapped up the broadcast.
