Chapter 136: Delivering an Announcement!

Read on​ KatRead​ingC​af​e

Ugh…

Even though I’m home, my cheeks still feel stretched out.

How long was I held by unnie, seriously?

I touch my cheeks, which have become as soft as rice cake.

As usual, I turn on the broadcast, there’s something to show and tell the cherries.

“Cherries, Hi-Lu! Did everyone have a delicious dinner?”

• Luha!
• Hi-Lu
• I ate sweet and sour pork.
• Did Lulu eat dinner?
• What’s with the cheeks lol

This time, another avatar creator made something for me.

I appeared wearing the so-called ‘Mochi Mochi Lulu’ avatar.

At first, the cherries greeted me normally, but then they burst into laughter.

This ‘Mochi Mochi Lulu’ avatar is in SD character form and the key point is the puffed-out cheeks.

One of the avatar’s features is ‘cheek stretching.’, when activated, a hand appears from somewhere and stretches my cheeks.

It’s also possible to have the cheeks droop down like now.

This is called ‘Rice Cake Mode,’ and my cheeks are currently flowing down.

“Ugh… Today, we all gathered at the company, and Lilith unnie kept squishing my cheeks. That’s how they ended up like this.”

• lol
• So cute lol
• How much did she squish them? lol
• Guess you got punished after all.

It’s probably the same as my real-life cheeks.

Seeing the drooping cheeks, the cherries laughed.

Still, I think today was a good time to show off the avatar.

“Yes, I got punished. At first, unnie was so happy about hitting 200,000 and hugged me, so I thought she wasn’t mad… but no. It was all a trap.”

• The trap of resonance…
• Lulu, you got fooled again!!!
• How much did she squish them? lol

“I don’t know… At least until we all had lunch and went to the café, she kept squishing them.”

Even at the restaurant, she said, ‘I’ll reduce the punishment to this much.’

But at the café, she kept squishing my cheeks, so I asked if it was over.

She casually said, ‘It’s because Da-jeong is so cute,’ and kept squishing my cheeks while sitting next to me.

Because of that, I couldn’t even enjoy my Frappuccino properly.

Ugh, my Frappuccino…

• So, did Lulu eat dinner?

“Ah, thank you for the donation. Yes, I ate. For lunch, I had something delicious with the members, the CEO, and the manager. For dinner, I came back and had braised mackerel.”

• Wow
• Braised mackerel… Yum…
• You have good taste
• Braised mackerel is the best fr

Oh, everyone recognizes the taste of braised mackerel.

Yes, it’s the best.

I’ve been eating it a lot lately because I’ve developed a taste for it.

Especially the flavor of the radish soaked in seasoning…!

“Ah, come to think of it, someone said they ate sweet and sour pork earlier. Hearing that makes me want to eat sweet and sour pork.”

• Sweet and sour pork is good too
• Let’s order it tomorrow
• The single sets are pretty good value these days.

There’s a single set too?

I’ve hardly ever ordered from Chinese restaurants, so I didn’t know.

Since it came up, I’ll order it tomorrow.

• So, Lulu, are you a pour-sauce person or a dip-sauce person?

“Me? I eat it any way. If the person I’m eating with wants to dip, I dip. If they want to pour, I pour…”

• Moving like a pro lol
• She’s dodging it
• Falling into the abyss

“It’s not falling into the abyss, I really do that! But I don’t understand why people fight over it. Sweet and sour pork is delicious no matter how you eat it…”

When you dip, you can feel the crispiness of the sweet and sour pork.

When you pour, the sauce soaks into the pork, which is also good.

Each has its own charm, so why fight over it?

• But sweet and sour pork is for dipping lol
• Sweet and sour pork is supposed to be poured, you tasteless people
• Honestly, I like it better without the sauce
• Is there no soy sauce faction?

As the topic of sweet and sour pork came up, the chat exploded as expected.

Seeing them fight over who’s right, I couldn’t help but sigh and shake my head.

“Sigh… Really, when I see this, I think the cherries are so silly. I’m going to give you some life advice now, so listen carefully. Okay?”

• ?
• Life advice?
• Suddenly?
• Professor, I’m going to sleep.

Hey, where do you think you’re going to sleep?!

Get up quickly!

This is very important!

Listen carefully!

“Everyone, instead of worrying about such things, you should eat more! It’s not about pouring or dipping, it’s about ‘shoveling’! Got it?”

• lol
• Shoveling lol
• Word choice lol
• Wow
• But it’s true lol

Ahem.

After giving the cherries life advice and seeing their enthusiastic response, I felt a sense of pride.

• Lulu looks like she eats lightly, but she has strong beliefs about food lol

“Of course! I’m such a foodie!”

• Is this coming from someone who only ate tofu and cabbage until recently?
• Fact: Lulu tried pasta for the first time after joining the company.

“Th-that’s irrelevant! What’s important is that I’m trying various foods now!”

Of course, I haven’t tried as many foods as others.

But my beliefs about food are second to none!

Despite appearances, I’m one of the big eaters in Blue LUV, along with Chae-yoon unnie!

“Sigh, this won’t do. I should do a food tournament or something to show the cherries how much of a foodie I am…”

• Oh
• Nice
• Sounds fun lol
• Since it came up, why not start now?

“Huh? Start now? I’m fine with it, but are you guys okay with it?”

Favorite things tournaments or food tournaments are good content for just chatting time among streamers.

But since some people don’t prefer it, I asked the cherries.

I was planning to play some games today, but…

• We’re fine
• Food world cup is a national rule
• I’m curious about Lulu’s taste lol
• What about a tier list?

“A tier list? Ah, that sounds good too.”

Definitely, tournaments have been done too much lately.

A tier list might be better.

Besides, in a tournament, if two of my favorite foods face off, I have to give up one.

That would be sad.

“Okay. Then I’ll finish the short announcement and move on to a food tier list. After that, as promised, we’ll check out the new game. Is that okay?”

• Lets go!!
• This is gonna devolve lol
• The chat is already heating up lol

Yeah, I can see that.

I can already tell, if I mess up even one food tier, the chat will be flooded with complaints.

They’ll definitely pounce on any mistake.

These vicious cherries, seriously.

I click my tongue internally and clear my throat, ready to make the announcement.

Usually, announcements are made towards the end of the broadcast but I prefer to announce them at the beginning.

It’s not because I might forget later.

Absolutely not.

“Ahem, first, the announcement… Actually, our merch is coming out this time! The official announcement will probably be out tomorrow, but since I’m the only one broadcasting today, I’m taking the lead to announce it.”

Normally, such announcements are made by the CEO or all members on their broadcasts.

But today, only I’m broadcasting, so I’m announcing it on behalf of everyone.

It seems like unexpected big news, as the chat scrolls up rapidly.

• Oh
• Lulu merch?
• Yayyy
• Finally, they’re coming out lol
• Big news!!!!!!!

“Hehe, I’m happy because the cherries are happy. The details of the merch will be announced tomorrow on the fan page and Twitter, so please wait a bit, okay?”

Actually, I know what merch is coming out but it would take too long to explain everything on my broadcast.

Today, it’s just a simple ‘Merch is coming out!’ promotion.

Even that seems satisfying, as the cherries say they can’t wait for tomorrow.

Yeah, actually, I feel the same.

Of course, I’ve seen the Blue LUV merch in the other world.

But this time, my own merch is coming out too.

It feels different, so I’m even more excited.

Hehe, and the CEO said they’ll give me all the members’ merch too.

When they arrive, I’ll use them to decorate nicely.

I’ll display them in the studio and the bedroom.

I’ll look at them several times before sleeping.

• Is the announcement over? Can we suck Lulu’s cheeks now?

“Ah, no! There’s still an announcement left, and even if it’s over, I won’t let you!”

• She didn’t fall for it
• This is why quick-witted axolotls are…

Why are you all genuinely disappointed?!

My cheeks are not toys!

They’ve already been squished by Chae-yoon unnie and turned into rice cakes.

If you start sucking them, they’ll never return to normal!

“Ah, anyway! This is the last announcement. It’s not a big deal, but I thought I should tell the cherries.”

• ?
• What is it?
• Don’t drag it out, just say it.
• If this keeps up, we’ll all die…

Ugh, really!

It’s only been a few seconds, and you’re all like this!

You’re all so impatient!

But dragging it out isn’t my style either.

So I bring up something I decided firmly on recently.

“Actually, starting next week, I’ll be living with someone!”

• ????????????????
• Huh?
• What?
• Lulu?????

The chat is flooded with question marks as the cherries panic.

Huh?

Did I say something wrong?

Translator Note

So Lulu herself may have had an announcement but so does our beloved author!! They have commissioned a pack of Lulu emoticons and they are in the final stage of being judged to see if they are okay to be uploaded!! So hopefully we will be getting to see them all soon!! If you are a part of the Reading Café discord you probably already know about this, but we just got some new ones too!!

If you’re familiar with the novel ‘I Was Kidnapped by the Strongest Guild’ and have scene the oh so popular Gyeoul emoticons and thought they were cute then I have great news!! These new emoticons are being drawn by the same artist, the oh so talented 므밍 (You can see more of their work on their Pixiv!!)

Here’s a sneak peek the author blessingly gave to us!!
