LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61
Miro’s first broadcast after the 24-hour stream became a hot topic, attracting quite a few viewers.
[Real-time Miro Ant-Removal ㅋㅋㅋ]
Did Miro really break the record in just one day? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Let’s see if I’m the one who breaks next,ㅋㅋ sticking close and not letting go~
– Is it even possible to break the record on the first day?
– Damn, look at those viewers dropping like flies.
– Still more than Anna, though ㅋㅋ
[Miro, what are you, a military nerd?]
Tech this, science that,
From choosing Germans and whatnot, you really smell of military nerd ㅋㅋ
– For real, why not be a vampire instead of a military geek?
– What are you talking about? Get out of here!
– Tsk… This is called romance.
Yeah, for real… it’s romantic.
[Am I the only one worried? ㅋㅋ]
This is the same person who dropped a game once, do you think this will be any different?
I’ll just mess up in the early game and rationalize it while roaming the café ㅋㅋ
– This dude actually watched some Miro ㅋㅋ
– How many years has it been? ㅋㅋ
– I admit, I get the Miro culture.
– Watched all the broadcasts.
At first, everyone was cheerfully streaming Miro’s broadcast. But as time passed…
[Damn, for real?]
(Captured moment from Miro’s broadcast)
I’m seriously losing it, what did some dude do wrong?
Damn, it’s been four hours, and we’re still just playing Civ nonstop.
– If you’re mad, just leave ㅋㅋ
– But it’s fun, right?
For real, it’s super fun ㅋㅋ
– Perfect for listening to on the radio, it’s just you that hates it ㅋㅋ
[Ant-Removal madness ㅋㅋㅋ]
Those who just watched Miro 24/7 must be losing their minds, huh? ㅋㅋ Right?
Keep talking, ㅋㅋ Miro can hear you.
– For real ㅋㅋ This dude just shut his ears.
– Miro can’t collapse, ㅋㅋ
– We’ve already failed~ ㅋㅋ
– Yeah, the longer the broadcast, the more profit, ㅋㅋ
For real ㅋㅋㅋ
[Wow, I actually dozed off while watching Miro’s broadcast for the first time.]
Her voice really is like a sleeping pill.
– For real, I fell asleep.
– Thanks to her, I cured my insomnia.
– How can anyone sleep while watching something this fun? ㅋㅋ
If someone doesn’t know Civ, it might just be like a sleeping pill.
[Today’s Miro is joining pro-Japanese moves.]
(Captured clip of Miro discovering Tokyo nearby)
“Hmm? It’s Japan?”
“Should I ally based on history?”
“Since we’re right next door, let’s be friends, right?”
Tsk tsk, how typical of a VTuber…
– I don’t know since I didn’t watch the stream, but what country is Miro that’s allying with Japan? Does Japan even have a friendly country?
Yep, Germany.
– Damn, is that true? ㅋㅋㅋ
– Oh, the Axis alliance? I acknowledge that.
– What about Korea???
– Yeah, they did that a lot in the previous series, so they’re not doing it this time.
– Did Miro do the previous Civ series too?
– Yeah, she roughly knows about it.
[Real-time Germany vs. Japan war ㅋㅋㅋ]
Those filthy japs, where’s their personality? They’re throwing the first punch.
– Miro did build too close to the city, though.
– But there was no other land available.
– They were destined to war from the start then.
– Isn’t this a mess? No troops ready.
– Productivity is high, so I think they can manage.
– Can they handle Japanese samurai?
– They can just hold out and produce units.
– When they were cursing like hell, they’re having fun now.
– Those who can’t enjoy it are all asleep now ㅋㅋ
[When’s the war gonna end? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
Seriously, I just wanna finish this war and sleep, but it doesn’t end!
It’s fun, but it messes with my daily routine.
– Watching japs getting wrecked is a must.
– The difficulty is high, so units come out slowly;;
[Real-time Miro is on fire]
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Ah, I’m wide awake now ㅋㅋ
There can’t be any office workers who missed this, right? ㅋㅋ
– For real ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– That’s some solid hits ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Dropping the mic and panicking ㅋㅋ
– Ah, today was fruitful too ㅋㅋ
[I felt a sense of kinship with Miro.]
Seeing her getting scolded reminds me that she’s just another gaming nerd in her room like us…
To be honest, I was starting to feel distant, but this is nice ㅋㅋ
– You were always distant, idiot ㅋㅋ
– Sigh… so she’s a virgin, huh?
[So Miro’s summary is…]
A blue pill room gaming virgin (with a nice voice), right?
Seriously, stop it ㅋㅋ
– For real ㅋㅋㅋ What the hell are you talking about?
– Fact) True.
– Drink up, Miro fans ㅋㅋ
– Oh, it’s ham ㅋㅋ
[Anna? That girl… Isn’t she a no-good woman?]
But she’s 28 years old… and not a virgin…
Miro is a virgin and 21…
When Miro was in elementary school, Anna was an adult…
Is there really no one in the ^PomPom No-Girl^ club still? ㅋㅋ
– Ah damn, stop hitting her already.
– Just a ^PomPom No-Girl^.
– Damn, what did Anna do wrong?
– Oh, being a no-good woman is a crime~
– The victorious Miro fans are the best ㅋㅋ
– Anna <— just like a laid-back guy, Miro (Messi) just pops up to get hit when she’s doing well, ㅋㅋ - For real ㅋㅋㅋㅋ - Rivals, indeed ㅋㅋ [From today, the Dwitch gallery will sign a petition.] Miro is indeed a virgin and I hereby sign that she’s the best VTuber in Korea, no, in the world. - Crying tears, I support that. - I agree... - Yeah, she's a blue pill~ She’s a virgin~ ㅋㅋ - You idiots, just because she’s a little chubby doesn’t mean she’s pretty! - Yeah, ㅋㅋ if she has that voice and body, just hitting the average is already a blue pill ㅋㅋ - If Miro were ugly, no VTuber would be credible ㅋㅋ - Fact) VTubers were always untrustworthy girls. - What fact? The only fact is that you came from an orphanage. - Damn, you’re talking nonsense, aren’t you? ㅋㅋ - Are you hurt? ㅋㅋ - I’m a super popular VTuber right now, and I signed while crying. - What about Anna? Not popular enough yet, so go in ㅋㅋ - What’s Anna signing for? ㅋㅋ - Not again, why are you hitting on Anna? *** I opened my eyes to find the sun high in the sky. Did I push too hard yesterday? I intended to do a little ant-removal, but... it turned out to be more fun than I thought. There’s a reason this game is infamous, I seriously played for ages. How long did I play? The sun probably rose and... I ended up at war with Japan... “Eek!” Just recalling my memory from this morning made my face flush, and I kicked off the blanket. Why did Mrs. Jang have to walk in then! No, wait, the bigger problem is mine. If only I had mentioned earlier that I was going live… Ugh, what’s the point in thinking that now? Fortunately, nothing happened that could be called a broadcast accident. Just a slight ruckus, that’s all. They’ll probably tease me a ton when they see the broadcast. Well, I can think about that later. More importantly, I woke up in the afternoon, so should I just take a break? But thinking about it, since I broadcasted until this morning, isn't today technically a broadcast day? By date, I've already done a broadcast today. Lost in thought about taking a break, I stepped into the living room, where I could smell something delicious bubbling away from the kitchen. “Oh, our broadcast daughter woke up early?” ...As soon as I walked into the living room, Mrs. Jang started teasing me. I ended up spilling everything. I told her I dropped out of university to start streaming. She was furious at first, but once I explained what I was doing in detail, her expression turned surprisingly nuanced. Why are you doing this? That seemed to be the vibe. In the end, she took a glance around my room, spotted my Miro character, and only then did she seem to understand. And wasn’t I lying, was I? I did start singing too. It is registered on the music platforms. Of course, streaming is my main focus, but I didn’t tell Mrs. Jang a single lie, so I feel justified. As I passed Mrs. Jang and made my way to the living room, I saw Mr. Kim in his underwear, sitting on the sofa and petting Bok-sil, who was sprawled out on his lap, while watching TV. “What are you watching?” “I was flipping through channels to see if my broadcast daughter comes on TV.” “Oh dear, now even Dad is going to tease me?” “Teasing? I’m just keeping an eye on the news so you don’t make a fool out of yourself.” “Oh come on, that’s so scary.” As I said this, I sat next to Mr. Kim. What do adults even think about internet broadcasters? “Aw!” As I sat down, Bok-sil, who had been on Mr. Kim’s lap, wiggled away and climbed up onto my lap instead. “Damn... can’t even tell the difference between the one who feeds him and the other?” Watching Bok-sil instantly escape his grasp with a complicated expression, Mr. Kim eventually gave up and returned his attention to the TV. “Is that broadcast worth doing?” “Yeah, it’s just playing games and talking about random things.” “Are there a lot of viewers?” “More than I can handle.” That much is true. I always thought the audience would grow over time, but it seems to have exploded before I was ready. “Don’t worry too much, you press one button and they all disappear in front of you.” “Isn’t that a pretty irresponsible mindset?” “Do those people watch with a sense of responsibility?” “Well... that’s not really the case.” “Even if someone feels responsible when they watch your streams, that’s strange.” How harsh! Is this the way adults navigate society? Cold, unfeeling words, yet I felt they were exactly the kind of advice I needed right now. “I’ll keep that in mind.” “Right, don’t overdo it. At your age, it’s best to take it slow and avoid getting hurt.” “Shouldn’t you take it easy, too? You’re not just supposed to empty your savings and die, right?” Living all day at the company and telling me not to overdo it? Mr. Kim should be the one setting a good example. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to spend every last bit of the money I’ve saved out of sheer indignation.” “Leave something for me, would you?” Like this house, for instance. “Who do you take after, refusing to let a word go?” “More importantly, is there anything newsworthy lately?” “It’s a mess, so be careful with knives.” “Knives? I’ve heard it’s been dangerous lately.” Every day, isn’t there news on the community? I’m not watching the news, so my only way to know what’s going on outside is through community posts or viewer chats. “Yeah, the world is dangerous. It used to be that South Korea was a safe place, but it feels like that’s no longer the case.” Mr. Kim spoke with the seasoning of his middle-aged wisdom. Indeed, as I followed Mr. Kim’s gaze to the TV, they were covering a spree of weapon-related incidents. “Hmmm, well, I’m just staying home, so it doesn’t really concern me.” “That's a brag. Just make sure to lock the door since you look a little like your dad.” “A little? I don’t just look a little like him!” “I just meant it in general.” By the way, I look like Mr. Kim? I scrutinized his face, questioning whether that was even true. ...I guess there are a few similarities. Looking at him now, he has a certain middle-aged charisma. Why didn’t he pass this good looks on to me when he was younger? “What are you looking at like that? Dad's got a bit of style, doesn’t he?” Is it true that shamelessness is inherited? “Unlucky guy, like Kim Soo-hyun?” “What does that even mean?” “Yeah, you know...” “That sounds bland.” If he knew the meaning, it certainly wouldn’t end on that note. Anyway, I spoke while snatching the remote. If he said something like that when he was a man, I might have heard a harsh comment, but I’m now a lovely daughter. Every dad is weak when it comes to their daughter, right? “This guy.” “It’s not even important news anyway, right?” As I said this, I flipped through channels. It’s been a while since we were all in the living room like this; I should watch some light-hearted variety rather than the gloomy news. As I input the number for a channel that often has variety shows... [Do you know?] [Yes, it's my favorite band’s song.] An unfamiliar voice and a familiar scenery immediately appeared on the TV. Ding- I quickly flipped the channel. Why is this suddenly coming up? Is it a rerun? How long has it been since it aired live? “Hmm, should I check the news again?” I tried to switch channels naturally again. “Wait, hold on a second.” Just as I was doing that, Mr. Kim grabbed my hand firmly. “Hmm?” “Turn it to the previous channel.” “No, no way.” “Turn it back, I said.” In the end, despite my resistance, he snatched the remote and turned it back. “Seriously, this isn’t what I wanted…” “Why are you acting like this? I’m just going to check it out.” And then. The channel I had just flipped off from came on. [So you know this song too?] [Uh? Well, I guess so?] [Then sing along with the guitar.] On the screen was me wearing a hat. Although it was pulled down low, the person next to me was family. I couldn't possibly not recognize that. For a moment, Mr. Kim stared closely at the screen before... “Hey! Look at this!” He immediately called for Mrs. Jang. “What? What's going on?” “Ahhh!” “Wow, our little one is all over the TV!” At his shout, Mrs. Jang, who had been in the kitchen, rushed into the living room, and I shot up and dashed back to my room. I couldn’t bear the thought of being on TV in front of my parents. Ugh... today really isn’t my day.
