Chapter 106: Result of the Auditions, Part 2

Hayoon ventured to ask a rather personal question.

“Um, your chest…”

That chest.

“Yes? This?”

That I-cup chest.

“Is it real? You haven’t had any surgery…?”

Could it be real?

Honestly, since becoming a woman, Hayoon hadn’t seen anyone with larger breasts than her own.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any women with large breasts, but Hayoon had eventually caught up and surpassed them.

However, she couldn’t even imagine catching up to Jo A-young’s chest.

Even with the subtle support of her development, there would be a limit to growth, and she didn’t think she could catch up within that limit. That’s why she ended up asking this embarrassing question…

“Want to see it in the bathroom?”

“…?”

This woman was surprisingly bold.

Honestly, Hayoon couldn’t suppress her curiosity, so she nodded.

Do Jin-ho, witnessing this crazy girl talk, barely managed to swallow his Americano instead of spitting it out.

“Wow,
…”

Why can’t I see it?

Such thoughts filled his head, and Do Jin-ho wondered if he could become a woman for just three minutes and then switch back.

“Lock the door.”

“Oh, okay…”

Jo A-young, as if it were natural, instructed Hayoon to lock the cafe bathroom door and then lifted her shirt.

“Oh, my…”

The sight was so bold that Hayoon instinctively covered her eyes…

“Why are you so surprised? We’re both women.”

“Oh, yes, th-that’s right…”

Embarrassed by Jo A-young’s composure, Hayoon lowered her hand, feeling like she had overreacted.

Then, what filled Hayoon’s vision was…

“What do you think?”

Jo A-young, revealing her ample bosom that couldn’t even be fully contained by her black bra.

“Wow…”

Admiration came naturally.

Like when Choi Arin had done the same to her, Hayoon reached out as if mesmerized, wanting to touch…

“Ah, sorry…”

She quickly withdrew her hand and apologized.

Unlike with Choi Arin, this was her first time meeting Jo A-young.

Doing something like that wouldn’t be right.

“Well, everyone’s like that. Even when I was in an all-girls high school, the girls wanted to touch them.”

“Ahaha…”

“And they’re real. See the veins here?”

“I-I see… Amazing…”

After the vein verification, Jo A-young suggested they head back, and Hayoon, suppressing her lingering regret, returned to Do Jin-ho.

With all the important tasks done, all that was left was to support them from behind and wait for the new faces to move into the Igloo.

Two new members of BGG Company’s second generation of Vtubers.

A total of three second-generation members’ contracts were now finalized.

With this, the biggest task, recruiting members, was complete.

Hayoon gave Baek-seol and Jo A-young their first assignment.

Create character concept proposals.

She would create their virtual avatars based on those concepts.

“I wonder if they’ll do it properly.”

It was almost a year until their debut, but the sooner the virtual avatar designs were finalized, the better.

That way, there would be more time for producing merchandise and other secondary products.

Hayoon hoped they would send them within two weeks…

–I’m done. Take a look.

“Already?”

–Yep, yep.

Baek-seol unexpectedly called just three days later, saying she had finished her character concept.

Hayoon accepted the call and checked the file Baek-seol sent…

What awaited Hayoon, filled with anticipation, was a single illustration of Snow White.

“Baek-seol?”

–Ah, don’t get mad, there’s a reason.

Hayoon called Baek-seol’s name, filled with bewilderment and betrayal. Baek-seol hurriedly started to explain.

–Boss, what comes to mind when you hear ‘Baek-seol’?

“Sugar…?”

–No, not that. Usually, it’s Snow White, right?

“Right…?”

–So, let’s just go with a Snow White concept. Snow White reading erotic stories? Snow White reading 19+ ASMR? Don’t you want to hear that at least once?

“Aha…?”

Hayoon kind of understood her intention.

The concept of Snow White, being chased by the evil queen/stepmother, making money by selling her voice…

It was a decent enough RP.

Even if she acted a little greedy, she could justify it with, “My life is on the line, you
!” and if she went full WWE, the viewers would laugh it off.

–Since my real name is Baek-seol, we can use the trendy Japanese naming style, Shiro Yuki Hime. Isn’t it neat? Then we don’t have to worry about the RP.

“Hmm…”

Hayoon was a bit annoyed that Baek-seol was openly suggesting taking the easy route…

“Will the fan name be Dwarfs?”

–Uh, well… something like that? Short people might be offended, so should I hold a vote between ‘Forest Friends’ and ‘Dwarfs’?

“Yes, that would be better.”

Honestly, Hayoon couldn’t think of a better plan.

Considering she brought a Yuri script to the audition, this woman was surprisingly sharp in this area… Hayoon thought.

–Then, can I go rest now? Since you’ll take care of the character design based on Snow White, and I’m terrible at design.

Honestly, it was a bit irritating that Baek-seol acted as if she knew she was good at her job… but Hayoon couldn’t scold someone for wanting to rest after doing a good job.

“Yes, I understand. Let’s discuss the details once I finish the draft…”

–Yay! See you later.

After sending Baek-seol off, Hayoon began sketching the draft for the illustration that would become the base for Shiro Yuki’s virtual avatar.

She kept the jet-black hair, a symbolic feature of Snow White.

However, she removed the curled ends of the bob, which felt a bit dated.

She went with straight, shoulder-length hair.

Her skin was as white as snow, like the original, but Hayoon added captivating red eyes as a point of interest.

She boldly ignored the somewhat tacky color scheme of the original outfit.

Instead, she decided that Shiro Yuki would wear black clothes because they were cheap and easy to wear, and made the black outfit a black see-through dress…

“Yeah, this is it.”

A redesigned Snow White Vtuber, Shiro Yuki, was born, a design sure to infuriate men and be incredibly alluring.

“But what about the chest size…”

Baek-seol wasn’t particularly busty.

A little smaller than Choi Arin and larger than Hong Seo-hyun?

However, Baek-seol might desire a large chest, so Hayoon decided to ask her later and continued setting the details, such as the design of the outfit.

–Make the chest huge!!!!

Then, Baek-seol’s reply regarding the chest size, which Hayoon had asked her to answer whenever she felt like it, arrived.

As expected, women crave large breasts.

Hayoon sighed.

As the rough draft for Shiro Yuki (large-breasted version) neared completion, Jo A-young also called.

–Ah, it’s me. Is it okay to call?

“Yes, of course, A-young. I’m basically a freelancer, so feel free to contact me anytime. Ah, please avoid weekday mornings after March, though.”

–Why after March?

“Ah, I’m still a high school senior, so it’s a bit difficult to take calls in the mornings during the semester. If you’re contacting me, it’s probably work-related, which usually means a call lasting one or two hours.”

–Ah, you’re still young…

“Yes, haha…”

Jo A-young sounded a bit regretful. Hayoon responded awkwardly and joined Jo A-young’s screen share.

A PowerPoint presentation was displayed on the shared screen, and its content was…

[Jo A-young Virtual Concept Proposal 1]

It was a formal PPT, like something used in a company.

Since Jo A-young probably hadn’t worked at a large corporation at her age, it was probably at the level of a small or medium-sized company’s PPT.

Anyway…

[What are Vtuber Jo A-yeong’s strengths?]

The PPT moved to the first section.

Then, it began listing her abilities one by one on a hexagonal parameter chart.

Voice.

–My voice is a 6.5 out of 10. Honestly, people say it’s good because I’m a woman, but it’s not particularly good among other women.

“Ouch…”

The evaluation was harsh.

Singing.

–6.5. People might say my singing is good because I’m a woman, but it’s not that great compared to other women. It’s not particularly bad or unique either.

“Ah…”

It was quite harsh.

Speaking Ability.

–I can give this a 7. I always led conversations when I was in school. It’s uncertain whether that will work in broadcasting, so it’s a 7.

“Even now, you’re doing a great job of presenting. You have reason to be confident.”

Hayoon offered a disingenuous compliment.

Honestly, anyone could read from a PPT, but if she didn’t do this, Jo A-young’s morale seemed likely to crumble before the presentation was even over…

Personality.

–6.5. People might like how I act because I’m a woman, but I’m not sure if it’s the kind of personality that will appeal to men.

“Um…”

At this point, Hayoon wondered if Jo A-young had brought the PPT for self-deprecation.

Content Planning.

–I can at least give this a 7. Despite my appearance, I graduated from a commercial high school and worked briefly at a small company, so I know what kind of content is trending these days, and I think I can adapt it to my own style.

Seeing that she gave herself a 7 again, it seemed like her self-esteem wasn’t completely rock bottom…

Chest.

“…?”

–100 points. Men like big breasts, and I have big breasts. Therefore, I think the virtual character should also use the chest as a weapon to increase viewer immersion, making them think, ‘Wow, those breasts actually exist in real life?’ when I use a semi-cam.

Now Hayoon understood. This woman didn’t have low self-esteem.

‘It’s just that she has such a powerful weapon in her chest that she underestimates her other strengths?’

She was just humblebragging.

Once she started streaming, her voice, singing, and personality would probably all score around 7 or 8.

She was downplaying herself right now, unknowingly.
