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

---

Actually, I was originally leaning towards the song festival.

It’s just that haven’t I been neglecting my singer duties this whole time?

So I thought I’d also take the chance to meet the reclusive old composer after a long time and bring him along…

But honestly, there would be plenty of people to go with the composer besides me, and with all the fame, too much attention has been focused on him.

If I put that pressure on him, this Miro will just run away.

Buying the dress kind of feels like a waste, though…

But still, I might have a chance to wear it later.

If I was only thinking of wearing it at the awards ceremony, I would have just borrowed a sponsored dress.

I actually bought it intentionally to wear for other occasions.

“Everyone, look at this.”

For now, it’s serving the purpose of showing off to the viewers.

With that, I stood up and showcased it to the viewers.

– Oh…
– With that mask on, it looks really pretty…
– That damn mask…

“Why’s everyone like this? Doesn’t it bring back memories?”

It’s a bug mask I wore after thinking about it for a while.

I bought it quite some time ago, but thanks to Mrs. Jang, who rarely throws things away, it was nicely kept in the warehouse.

– Ugh.
– I didn’t want to see it again;;
– It is a huge blast from the past.

“Right? I don’t know how many of the viewers from back then are still around.”

A lot of people have left over the past three years.

I’d guess there are probably many viewers here who wouldn’t even know.

– I remember, haha (not really).
– When was that again?
– If you’ve been watching since three years ago, get out, haha.

“Hey, don’t exclude the old-timers.”

In a way, aren’t they the ones who made Miro’s current broadcast possible?

They’re kind of the ones I’m grateful for.

Well, anyhow.

“Shall we finish watching the awards? They’re receiving an award right now.”

Right now, the drama team I shot is receiving an award.

Hmm, everyone who’s come up looks familiar.

Starting with the director, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Nam Han-kyung or Han Ye-eun.

If I had gone to the awards ceremony this time, I would have talked with them, which is a bit disappointing.

– Where did Sera go?
– The main villain isn’t here…
– Seems she’s still in prison.

…I do feel a little sorry.

She should have been up there receiving the award with us.

“I guess Sera must have other schedules.”

– Haha.
– Isn’t your schedule to broadcast here??
– No, seriously, if you bought that pretty dress, go show it off.

“I’m showing it off here, right? The fit is nice, isn’t it?”

I stood up again and turned around.

Then, the dress flared as I twirled.

How pretty is it?

It’s essentially a sight that could be seen as the pinnacle of beauty, but…

– That mask, damn.
– It really sucks, haha.
– Come on, at least show your face.

– I’d rather see the Miro mask instead.

Maybe it’s because of the life-sized bug mask, but it seems difficult to concentrate.

“Ah, the Miro mask.”

I didn’t even think of that idea.

Should I ask them to make even a Miro mascot costume?

“That’s a good idea.”

I’ll have to consider it when the time comes.

The character wouldn’t be broken, and it would hide my face nicely.

– Please come with a minimal area mask.
– Why not just wear a pink wig? Then it would look like Miro.

– Could you do a cosplay for us?
“Cosplay? What are you, crazy?”

What fandom asks a virtual YouTuber to cosplay themselves?

Really, they don’t respect the red pill at all.

– Please, just do it.

– Then let’s shoot a drama with Miro, okay…?
– For a year-end special, let’s do one, please?

“This is what I came wearing for the year-end.”

These people.

They finally turned on the cam they had long wanted, but they’re still complaining.

More importantly, should I take off the mask after the broadcast and snap a photo?

It would be nice to post it on Instagram after putting on this dress.

My follower count is already rising at an incredible rate.

Every time I post a picture, the response is really good.

Well, anyhow…

“Oh, next is the individual awards.”

For now, I focused on the award ceremony.

The song festival is almost over.

Now it’s time for the actors to receive their awards….

[Next, we will introduce the nominees for the Popularity Award.]

Just then, the nominees for the next award were announced.

Characters that were particularly popular in the dramas that aired this year appeared…

[Sera]

Among them, the Sera I acted as also showed up on the screen.

It seems I’ve been nominated for the Popularity Award, just as I’d heard beforehand.

– Oh.
– Hahaha.
– That person is right here…

[Ah, Sera is quite famous.]
[Yes – I believe it’s the first lead role for Kim Soo-hyun…]

Then Sera’s highlight moments appeared on the screen.

…I felt a bit embarrassed.

I never thought I’d see my bratty chaebol act with the viewers on air.

– Hahahaha.
– Hahaha.
– Is that person really wearing a mask here??

– Take off the damn mask!

– She’s really pretty, though..

Well, anyhow.

While I was moderately chatting with the viewers, all the nominees for the Popularity Award were revealed.

The glorious recipient of the award was decided.

[The winner of the Popularity Award is… Congratulations! Kim Soo-hyun, who played Sera!]

“Um…”

…I really got it.

Wait, am I not supposed to be here…?

In that moment, I felt a pang of guilt reminiscent of when I faked an illness to skip school.

Regardless, the chat was a complete chaos.

– Wow, hahaha.
– Passing two awards, what the hell, haha.
– This kid, for real…
– Just turn off the broadcast and leave, haha.

“Passing two awards? Kim Soo-hyun must have a reason too….”

Anyone could mistake me for being Kim Soo-hyun.

I’m just the virtual YouTuber Miro, enjoying the end of the year.

– Ha, haha.
– This guy is the real deal, haha.
– Sera wearing a bug mask… such cognitive dissonance, haha.

“Sera is in prison~”

From the ending, she got dragged away and received a prison sentence, right?

I don’t know how long it was, but she’s probably still locked up.

– So then who is this person here??
– Why the hell are you here, what the hell?

“Of course, I came because I wanted to spend the year-end with you all.”

– Liars, get out!
– Do I look like someone who’s falling for that?
– Pfft.

– So of course you’ll come often next year, right??

…They really aren’t falling for it.

They’re such a tough crowd.

“I don’t know. Just think of this as a pre-recording for next year’s broadcast.”

– No way.

– Just turn it off and do it next year, damn it.

– Please…
– This isn’t the last broadcast before a long break, right??

“I’ll do a little something for the New Year.”

When did the filming for Credit Season 2 start again?

It seems that from that point on, I’ll get really busy.

Well, more than anything…

“Hmm, I might not be able to do it.”

Because of the immense popularity of Credit 1.

I’m already getting one schedule after another for the New Year.

I’m choosing and fitting them, but there’s just so much.

Right off the bat, I have to shoot an ad for Director Kim’s company.

I plan to go with Director Kim and shoot there.

I can’t help but think of Director Kim, who pretends not to like it but really does.

– Why, though?

– How much is that advertising fee worth it, damn?

– Isn’t there any advertising for Miro?

“Oh, me? I get quite a lot.”

Actually, Miro gets a lot of advertisements, but…

It’s mainly game ads because I’m a virtual YouTuber, right?

So I can’t honestly say they’re not appealing.

Above all… the market value is different.

Even for the same ad, the price for virtual YouTuber Miro and actor Kim Soo-hyun is like night and day.

That’s why I haven’t taken those heavenly realm ads.

…Might be a bitter reality for the Six, though.

“Ah, the next award is coming up. Let’s focus on the awards.”

– I can’t even focus on anything, haha.

– Seriously, why are you here?

While I was chatting like that, the award ceremony continued.

Now, I noticed someone familiar on the screen again.

“Wow, Moon Chang-sik received the grand prize.”

It’s Moon Chang-sik right away.

I was wondering when he’d come out, but he’s winning the grand prize.

[Thank you, 1,000 won donation!]

Suddenly, it feels kind of fortunate to be here; how amusing, haha.

– For real.
– Phew.
– If I had gone to the award ceremony, I would have met that jerk, haha.

“Hey now, don’t curse the actor.”

– Look at him watching over his boyfriend, damn.

– Seriously, what the hell…
– Can I curse too??

Isn’t there so much anger here?

Is it that seeing Moon Chang-sik revs them up even more?

Well, from the viewers’ perspective, he is a villain.

Rumors of fake love have also surfaced, and he’s gotten a bit of a bad reputation on variety shows as well.

Well, anyhow…

“Now we’ve seen what there is to see.”

The awards ceremony is nearly over for both of them.

Can’t believe he received two awards.

It really is an honor.

Should I post my award speech on Instagram?

…But it’s awkward to write about why I didn’t attend.

It’s all been recorded here on broadcast, so I can’t even make excuses.

“Now, what shall we do?”

I’ll think about that later.

For now, I should consider how to spend the remaining broadcast time.

The award ceremony ended sooner than I thought, so I feel a bit unanchored.

It would feel a bit regretful to end the broadcast like this…

– Please, just don’t leave..
– Can you take off the mask just once before you go?

– Would you have preferred it if I wore a regular mask instead?

“I don’t have a normal mask at home.”

But they’re still echoing the mask talk.

I didn’t specifically come wearing this mask.

It’s just that this bug mask is the only one that covers my entire face; I had no choice.

– Why not just wear a mask and sunglasses?

– Damn, I can’t get into this at all…

“You all should love me even like this.”

How important is the real face of a virtual YouTuber?

What’s important is the character and a beautiful heart, right?

In that sense, Miro definitely has Buhwang’s qualities.

– Love? Pfft.

– How can you love a bug?

– Seriously, can’t you just take it off just this once?
– Damn, thinking about the insides of that mask is making me crazy.

“Hey now, let’s stop talking about the mask.”

If I leave it like this, it feels like this conversation will go on all day.

Thinking back to when Miro was 24/7, it wasn’t even this bad.

I think it’s just because they’ve seen my face in the highlights from the year-end stage or award ceremony earlier that they’re reacting this way.

“How about we have a year-end award ceremony ourselves?”

– ??
– What award ceremony?

“There are so many members, right? Let’s make some awards and hand them out.”

Just came up with that.

Is there really going to be an award ceremony solely for entertainers?

Aren’t our heavenly realm members active enough to deserve some awards?

– Ooh.
– That sounds fun, haha.
– This is a concept only Buhwang can pull off, wow.

– What will the criteria be?

“The criteria is what we’ll decide together right now.”

Whether we get suggestions or receive votes from the viewers.

There are enough people here that something should come up, right?

“Then let’s have some fun and suggest it by donation.”

– ???
– This is crazy; you’re being greedy.
– What donations?

– Look in the chat.

– Absolutely don’t send donations.

[Thank you, 10,000 won donation!]

Let’s start with ages, shall we?

“Ages seem a bit…”

– Hahahaha.
– Damn, I told you not to send donations.

– I can agree with that.

And so.

The final broadcast to set the stage for the year-end became nothing less than a small-scale heavenly realm awards ceremony.
