Chapter 10: “hello !! sister !!!”

The people in the cafe suddenly looked my way.

“Huh? Me?”

I pointed at myself with my finger, a dumbfounded expression on my face.

‘Meaning, were they really calling me?’

“Yes!! Unnie!!!”

‘Oh no.’

‘They really were calling me.’

“Ah, that’s right, I didn’t call your name. Super Cute Local S-Class Beautiful Girl!!!”

‘Ughhh.’

I once read online that if a person feels too ashamed, they actually become more confident.

And now I realized.

‘That’s a lie.’

‘Damn it.’

Being called ‘Super Cute Local S-Class Beautiful Girl’ in front of over ten people is humiliating enough.

I’m certainly not confident right now.

Instead, I want to crawl into a mouse hole.

As I stammered with a bright red face, Yu Yerim entered the cafe.

“Hellooo!”

I spoke, enduring the stares of the surrounding people.

“Uh, th-that’s right… Ye, Yerim-nim…?”

“Yes!! You are Super Cute Local S-Class Beautiful Girl, right…?”

“U-Ughhh!! Please, I beg you, don’t say my nickname outside…”

“Huh? Okay…”

****

I calmed down and sat, starting our conversation.

Although the constant glances from the surrounding people bothered me, I didn’t want to blame them.

Honestly, if it were me, I’d also be startled and stare if I saw a pink-haired twin-tailed high school girl talking to a cute, tiny beautiful girl.

Anyway… it’s time to talk business.

After all, we met to discuss editing.

Before that, I needed to mention something that bothered my conscience.

“But… are you really okay with no pay? I wrote the recruitment post as a joke… If you want, I can give you a little something.”

No matter how shameless I am, exploiting a minor without pay bothers my conscience.

‘At the very least, I should give her a thousand won per minute—’

“No.”

Yerim shook her head and replied.

“It’s not unpaid. You said you’d give me your affection, Unnie.”

“If it really bothers your conscience… you can just buy me drinks like this sometimes!”

‘How could someone be so kind-hearted…’

‘Then I’ll have to make sure to give her a generous allowance later.’

“Then, Yerim-nim—”

“But, Unnie.”

Yerim abruptly cut me off and interjected.

“Unnie, why are you speaking formally to me?! Please speak comfortably!”

“Ah, it’s because I’m more comfortable speaking formally…”

“What?! You can’t do that!! The age difference is… How old are you, Unnie?”

“I, I’m twenty-two…”

Hearing my age, Yerim raised her voice even more.

She even shot up from her seat and shouted.

“There’s a five-year age difference between us! Don’t speak formally!!”

The whispers and glances from the surrounding people intensified.

“Ah, I understand, no, I get it! So please just be quiet…!”

Hearing that, Yerim let out an “Ah” as if realizing she had been too loud, and sat back down.

‘Finally got her to quiet down…’

She took a small sip of iced tea with her tiny mouth, then resumed speaking.

****

“So first… would you like to try editing this horror game video… wanna try editing it?”

“Yes!! I’ll edit it by tomorrow, even if I have to stay up all night!!”

“You don’t have to go that far…”

Afterward, we had some small talk.

Like, what are our hobbies, what are our favorite characters… and so on.

Coincidentally, both of us liked characters that resembled our own appearances.

I liked short, cute characters… Yu Yerim liked tall, large… plump characters.

‘Do people instinctively like characters that resemble themselves…?’

“Unnie!! Get home safely!!”

“U-Uh… okay… you too, get home safely.”

We waved to each other and parted ways.

‘I feel completely drained…’

‘I should take another nap when I get home.’

****

I took a nap, woke up, and started my broadcast.

“From now on, I’ll be uploading videos to YouTube too.”

–Oh

–You mean subscribe, right?

–What will you name it?

“Hmm…? But I won’t name it like it is now. If I get more famous on YouTube, it’d be embarrassing to be called ‘Super Cute’…”

–Counting your chickens before they hatch

–You named yourself that

–It’s good, why not?

–Did you find an editor?

“Of course I found one. I just met them today.”

–What

–Is it a girl or a boy, girl or boy?

–So you’re abandoning us…

“Don’t worry, it’s a high school girl, a high school girl.”

–Phew

–Unpaid high school girl lol

–Child labor exploitation lolol

–Let her appear too

“Later, if that person… no, if she says it’s okay.”

‘Just a moment ago they were complaining about me meeting an editor…’

Feeling dumbfounded, I turned on Lesse and finished my daily quests.

“Everyone, what should we do now?”

[BeautifulGirlErectorSpinaeLicker has sponsored 1000 won.]

–Go to DC Inside

“DC Inside? Hmm…”

Although I said that, honestly, it seemed like it would be fun.

And it seemed like it would be good to upload to YouTube…

‘I shouldn’t have thought that.’

I connected to DC Inside.

–?

–?

–You?

–(NewbieHunter)?

“…What’s wrong?”

Before the broadcast, I had briefly been managing the gallery.

Of course, I was logged in to the manager account.

And I hadn’t logged out.

My fixed nickname was visible in the account information.

WakapyaMallangNongjjuk.

The manager of the Lesse Gallery.

And the fixed nickname of the streamer, Super Cute Local S-Class Beautiful Girl.

“……Ah.”
