by adminA small community cherished by all its members.
That was Sooah’s group chat room.
Currently, the conversation there was, of course, lively.
[Black Bear: Sooah won the grand prize? What’s this?] [Black Bear: What’s with the Japanese skills too?] [Black Bear: Ah damn, I have to turn in my phone.] [Monkeying: Yang Harin lost too.] [Monkeying: I was a Yang Harin fan, I’m so shocked.] [Deer: Every time I turn on the internet, I feel strange.] [Deer: Lee Sooah’s face keeps popping up.]
The group chat room was burning bright.
However, Saengji, Deer, and Monkeying weren’t apart. They were currently gathered and had even ordered haejangguk.
Deer asked. “Are we just going to eat this and break up?” “Nope. Seonah unnie said we have a meeting.”
Suddenly, a meeting. Deer quietly mumbled, but. Her body was already diligently preparing for the meeting.
Mostly, it was about getting snacks and tea to create a mouthwatering and cozy scene on the desk.
You know how when you decide to study, you suddenly want to clean up the surroundings first? It was like that.
Before long, the snack table was set.
Saengji hadn’t arrived yet. Two people sat down first.
“So, what’s the meeting about?” “I don’t know. Seonah unnie will know.” “We can’t really ask Seonah unnie. It seems like she’s been getting a lot of calls and it’s a mess.”
But then, it happened.
Deer grabbed a handful of snacks and ate them.
Underneath the orange hair, Monkeying’s eyebrows twitched. It was snacks they had all chipped in to buy.
“What are you doing? The meeting hasn’t even started yet.” “Yeah, so I’m eating them. It’s for our sake.” “What nonsense are you talking about?” “If you eat delicious things, meetings tend to get pushed back, right? So, I’m getting rid of them beforehand. So we can focus only on the meeting.” “You just want to eat snacks.” “That’s right. That’s why I’m grabbing them without hesitation. Eating delicious snacks with good intentions, it’s a win-win, isn’t it?”
Deer continued to grab handfuls of snacks, and Monkeying narrowed her eyes and stared at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” “These are expensive snacks. We bought them by pooling our money.” “So, you should eat some too. They’re delicious.”
“…”
Monkeying pondered for a moment, then made a decision.
Seonah unnie hadn’t arrived yet.
Even if she started eating now, she could get her money’s worth. More than anything, Deer was eating them so deliciously.
Eventually, Monkeying reached out her hand. “Now that I think about it, I also want the meeting to proceed smoothly. I’ll prove my affection for our friendship.” “That’s great. Seonah unnie will definitely be happy.” “That’s right. We’ll eat all the snacks and tea beforehand, and start the meeting as soon as Seonah unnie arrives.”
A little while later.
When Saengji – Kim Seonah, who had finished her call, arrived.
Two women were lying down, patting their bellies.

In the end, the meeting resumed only after a nap.
“Everyone, did you send Sooah a congratulatory message?”
Two people nodded at Saengji’s words.
It wasn’t a new thing in the first place. The Sooah chat room was a group that looked after each other’s important events.
However, their attitude towards Sooah became slightly more cautious.
In the past, they would give gifts while saying things like “You little b*tch, why were you born?”, but now they say things like “Always take care of yourself~”.
Deer asked. “But, how high is the status of winning a short film award?” “It’s like a guarantee sticker.”
Monkeying spoke with her mouth still full of snack crumbs. Kim Seonah was now panicking. Where are my snacks?
Deer asked again. “A guarantee sticker?” “Yeah. It’s like a guarantee that it’s okay to use Sooah as an actress. The meaning of the award itself is deep, but the fact that it’s a huge help for her future career is important. It’s like a starter pack in a game.” “That’s amazing. It means she’s stepped on the first step to success.” “Not a step. More like an elevator.”
Deer scratched her head. “Well, she’s really good at acting, that’s true. When I turn on my stream, viewers bring up Sooah’s story once in a while. Everyone only has praise. They must have been very impressed.” “That’s right. Deer is a Cicalin.”
Monkeying chuckled and shook her head. “The fact that your friend is the number one Vtuber in the industry is shocking, but Sooah makes it seem normal. It’s hilarious.” “I know, right? I honestly expected you guys to be surprised.” “Anyway, the community’s reaction is crazy because of Sooah right now.”
Afterwards, Monkeying showed the history of managing the Lee Sooah Gallery. From rising to the top of the real-time trending gallery, to all sorts of attention, to getting rid of all sorts of troublemakers.
At some point, Deer tilted her head. “Wait, but I’m a Vtuber.” “Yeah.” “It’s a huge advantage for Vtubers to be able to speak Japanese, right? So, I’m actually learning Japanese too. The agency even registered me for Japanese classes in the first place.” “But?” “I’ve been learning for almost six months now, and I’m only just starting to have some basic conversations. But Sooah is like…” “Aren’t you just learning really lazily?” “…Would I be? My livelihood depends on it?”
It was a meeting, but in reality, only Deer and Monkeying were talking, and there was finally a moment when Saengji opened her mouth.
“Shall we talk about my story? It’s related to Sooah anyway, and it’s also the topic of today’s conversation.”
Her expression was more serious than usual.
“Starcatch keeps calling me.” “…Those trash bastards? What do they want?” “They’re begging me to come back. They want me to write articles about Sooah or Lee Sooahn. If I really don’t want to, they said it’s okay to work as a freelancer for a while.”
Deer and Monkeying’s eyes widened.
“Do they have no conscience?” “How can they be so shameless after treating you like that? Tell them to f*ck off.”
Saengji nodded.
“I agree. Even if I go back, I won’t get along with these people. But I’m secretly worried about going back.” “…Unnie, is it because of the money? If it’s living expenses, I’ll take care of it. Let’s live together here for a while. I was bored anyway because I only do broadcasts these days. I get a lot of donations these days anyway.” “No, it’s not because of the money.”
Saengji shook her head. “We all know it now.” “What?” “That Sooah is sick. That she has savant syndrome.”
Then there was a brief silence.
At the same time, the atmosphere became slightly somber. “I looked it up, and savant syndrome is a structure that can never make friends.” “Really…?” “Yeah. Because she has poor social skills, she tries to live alone, and naturally her communication skills are greatly impaired, and she repeats incomprehensible actions and sometimes shows seizure symptoms…”
Two people nodded. That’s definitely Lee Sooah…
Deer continued. “In other words, she only knows how to distinguish between people who are friendly and hostile to her, but it’s hard to make true friends. How lonely she must have been all this time.”
“That’s…right…” “Now that I think about it, the moments when Sooah made us frustrated and angry were all struggles in their own way. Efforts to create a friend in her life.”
“…”
It was the three of them seriously discussing a story that Sooah would jump up and down about if she heard it. Now, even their expressions were determined.
“So, what do you think about us helping in our respective fields? So that Sooah can establish herself as an actress.”
“Our respective fields?” “Yeah. I’ll go back to Starcatch and write articles that are favorable to Sooah. They promised me a really good position.” “Hmm…”
Deer soon nodded as well.
“Okay. I’ll mention Sooah often when I turn on my broadcast. That alone will have a pretty big promotional effect. There are even sponsors who would put in ads on the condition that I mention her a few times.” “Then I…”
Monkeying crossed her arms and closed her eyes and pondered for a long time.
“I…hmm…ah, right.”
She opened her eyes wide. “I’ll create a fan cafe. Manage public opinion.”
It was a symbolic moment.
It was the moment when the Sooah Task Force 808 was created. “What should we make Black Bear do?” “…Leave him alone. He’s already a struggling soldier, what should we make him do.”
◈◈◈◈◈
Meanwhile, what is Sooah doing?
Huh? What is she doing?
“Hehe.”
These days, Sooah was addicted to her phone. “Hehe. Hehehe.”
That’s because no matter where she went on the internet, she could quickly find stories related to herself. There was even nothing but praise, so how could she not be addicted?
Hehehe. I like praise.
There’s a saying that praise makes the arctic fox dance.
So, Sooah wagged her butt and looked at her phone.
And then realized one more thing.
[Lee Sooah Gallery]
[Title: Gallery Master Seems Smart] [Title: What Size is Gallery Master?] [Title: But Gallery Master Looks Too Scary] [Title: Won’t Gallery Master Do a Noir?]
‘Ah, so this is how I’m seen?’
She was naturally able to see how she appeared to the public, and as expected, thanks to her sharp features, she gained a fairly arrogant image. She couldn’t help but think deeply. I want to change.
Because it’s natural for anyone to want to look better to the people who have good expectations for her.
Paaa-!
Therefore, Sooah immediately entered the special ability space.
Working hard at acting is now the default value.
From now on, it was necessary to better understand herself and how to use her special ability. For Sooah’s bright future. Also, to not disappoint the people who are expecting her.
“Special ability. Special ability.”
[Hearing.]
“At the awards ceremony. I suddenly felt like I became a little smarter. Why was that?”
[I am special ability.] [A mere assistant.] [Interference that goes against the master’s heart is impossible.]
“Hmm…”
In other words, it means that she can’t forcibly take over Sooah’s body. “First of all, I understand that point. But I’m still curious as to why I was particularly smart at that time? Please explain that too.”
[Because the master sincerely wished for it.] [I also exerted all my abilities.]
“Ah?” [Something inside the master.] [Sooah Association.] [Absorbing their strengths.]
“Oh!”
It was very good news. Because it meant that she was picking out and absorbing only the strengths of the little Sooahs inside her.
‘That’s a relief. Even if a dangerous role takes root in my heart later, there won’t be any problems. That’s really good?’
Her curiosity was resolved faster than she thought.
Sooah was about to leave the special ability space without thinking, but. “Ah, right. Special ability.”
Suddenly, out of the blue.
“…Your tone is too stiff. Can’t you change that?” [Possible.]
At the same time, the special ability window moved.
[…Searching for a suitable person…] […Downloading person…]
A little while later.
[Master, would this tone work?]
“What, what is it.”
[What’s with that reaction?] [I changed it with a lot of effort, I’m disappointed.]
Sooah immediately thought of someone in her head. “…Yeonju unnie? Wait a minute, it’s good that it’s not stiff, but it’s too awkward to do it as someone I know. Don’t do it as someone around me. Please do something else.”
[Confirmed.]
[…Searching the internet community…] […Absorbing Lee Sooah Gallery…]
A little while later.
[Hi]
“What’s that again.”
[If you want to beat my master because she’s picky, press the upvote] [Why are you being so picky asking for this and that haha] [I want to grab her butt and do a wild performance hahaha]
“…No, no, don’t. I told you not to.”
Sooah was sweating cold sweat. Seriously. “Can’t you just imitate my tone?”
That seemed like a pretty reasonable idea. “It feels like I’m talking to myself, and it seems okay.”
It was also an opportunity to grasp her own tone. [Not recommended.] [Uncivilized.] [Difficulties in communication will arise.]
“…What are you talking about? Hurry up and do it.”
[Hmm.] […Absorbing Lee Sooah…]
But it was strange.
A long time later.
Even after a really long time, the special ability didn’t talk to her.
Eventually, Sooah was the first to break the silence.
“Knock knock. Hello?” [Um.]
“…Um? Don’t you have anything to say?”
[Ah.] Sooah was already feeling choked.
What to say, it felt like talking to a wall?
No, if it was talking to a wall, it wouldn’t have been this frustrating. Because no human expects an answer from a wall.
So this was a different kind of despair.
“…”
Sooah was dazed for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses. “Something’s wrong. Is this all the reaction I give? Um, ah, huh. Is making sounds like that the end?” [I acknowledge.]
“What? No, when did I ever do that?”
[I have completely understood.]
“…”
At this point, Sooah was at a loss for words.
It’s not just that communication isn’t working.
She even felt like the special ability wasn’t focusing on her words at all and was spacing out.
“…Hey!”
In the end, Sooah couldn’t stand it and shouted. “You crazy special ability!”
[?]
“What’s with the question mark! You weren’t paying attention to my words just now! You ignored your master! What did I just say!”
[You said I was a crazy special ability. Why the swearing…]
“…?”
There’s no helping it. Sooah had to admit it.
That her communication skills were terrible. Therefore, she had to change from now on. That she needed a lot of effort in the future…
In the end, Sooah said with her head bowed.
“…I’m sorry. Just go back to the way you were.”
It was with a determination to improve in the future.
[Ending mirror therapy.]
“Hey.”
