I was speechless for a moment.

‘What does it mean?’

I knew Naharing’s identity.

But there is no way Choi Hana knows that fact.

Still, I didn’t show my true feelings and just stared at the smartphone screen.

“Ho, do you hate things like vertubers?”

she asked.

Of course, I couldn’t say no here.

‘Vertuber…’

Virtubers are streamers who use moving pictures of Chewdeok as their avatars.

So there was no way the public image was good.

In particular, the image of Virtubers on the live stream platform was even worse.

Usually, YouTubers use YouTube’s live streaming function and use that as their base.

To Virtubers, TKA TV was still a barren land.

‘There are quite a few streamers who work in parallel with YouTube…’

Still, it is a platform that basically has a strong antipathy toward subcultures.

But recently, the atmosphere has been changing a bit.

That’s because of Naharin’s crew, Underdolls.

I quickly drew up a model answer in my head.

‘Even if I freely say that I like vertubers, it’s still a little off.’

If I said that, it seemed so obscene.

I answered Hana Choi, who was looking nervous as she waited for my answer.

“I don’t like it… I don’t.”

“Really!”

Choi Hana’s expression brightened.

Without thinking, she brought her face closer to me.

For a moment, my heart pounded.

‘Why are you doing this…’

However, he hid his true feelings and continued speaking.

“I saw the Mungseokkkyun crew and some vertubers working together on joint game content. It’s more… cheesy than I thought… no, it’s not like I’m a nerd or anything like that.”

“That’s right! There are many different types of vertubers, so it’s a prejudice to think that they are just stupid!”

Choi Hana spoke faster.

We quickly explained the different types of Virtubers.

“Korean vertubers do not necessarily follow the style of vertubers from mainland Japan. There are many virtubers who don’t have subcultures. There are also vertubers who don’t give off an idol vibe.”

If you think about it, Naharing was close to the latter.

Noeul Jeong, who I talked to a little while ago, is surprisingly like a mainland vertuber, although she definitely sticks to that role play.

Rather than being a geek, Na Haring was purely good at internet broadcasting.

She had all the talents a female streamer should have.

“Actually, these dances are popular in clips. It’s super popular content. Isn’t that right?”

She played Naharing’s video.

Just like the popular dances in short-form clip videos.

Somehow, exciting foreign-style music was flowing.

Na Haring started dancing on the screen.

It was a sexy dance that strangely made me blush a little.

‘for a moment. No matter how much of a virtuber you are… this is actually dancing.’

Virtubers wear so-called tracking equipment.

So, the one dancing on that screen is Naharin.

It means that Choi Hana actually does that strange dance.

I felt strange again.

That Na Haring was sitting right next to me and holding me close.

‘After becoming Unknown… I guess my tastes have become a little strange.’

For no reason, I became conscious of Choi Hana.

More than anything, the feeling of knowing the identity of Choi Hana, which no one among the viewers knew, was strange.

In fact, many viewers pretend not to.

The person inside the Virtuber. Its identity.

I really want to know about the so-called red pill.

‘Choi Hana will become more popular if the red pill becomes known.’

An active freshman at Theia Academy.

Anyone can see that she is an innocent beauty with black hair.

Rather, the pink short-haired Naharing avatar may have nerfed its appearance.

‘Although I like pink short hair better.’

Anyway, I desperately tried to hide my true feelings and watched the clip with Choi Hana.

Naharing’s clips usually have hundreds of thousands of views.

Among them, the one with the best response exceeded 1 million.

“Good sense. This clip is funny.”

I hid my selfish intentions and left my honest impressions.

There are also boring drips that instantly create silence in the chat window.

Na Haring caught it immediately and immediately filled the audio like water.

[Such strange words are prohibited~! Couldn’t it be… a virgin wizard? Maybe it’s a drip that will work if I’m reincarnated in another world? Nahaha~ Naharing will split the data, so I’ll smile~ Nahanaharing~!]

Not only that.

Even with the extremely raw drip of the crew, you accepted it all as shamelessly as you did now.

She was even nicknamed the Queen of Voice Chat.

While watching several clips, Choi Hana shouted urgently in one video.

“Well, I’ll skip this!”

***

But the clip has already been played.

It was a video of Na Haring connecting to VR War World and communicating.

A world map with a dreamy atmosphere.

There, Na Haring was walking for the camera with a dreamy expression.

The so-called pinnacle of Korean beef broth.

It was VR War World full tracking content.

Content that immerses viewers as they walk through the virtual space.

‘There was definitely someone with full tracking skills in Underdolls.’

No matter how many tracking devices you attach to your body, there is bound to be some awkwardness.

Naharing’s movements on the screen were very smooth.

It seemed like it was set up with the help of a member.

It’s like having quasi-romantic feelings for a real-life idol.

Virtubers also immerse viewers through this VR War World content.

In the clip, Naharing lowered the tension with a slow speaking tone, filling the audio with a quiet tone.

It was a video that made me feel like I was on a date alone with my maid girlfriend.

For no reason, female virtubers who were good at full-tracking didn’t receive much attention.

‘Because it’s the best for making broth.’

In that respect, Naharing’s land power was amazing.

Crew One also had avatar creation skills, so the modeling went very well.

Pink short hair.

The outfit she is wearing is also a maid uniform.

Even in real life, she sometimes wears a maid outfit.

Since it was a costume provided by VR War World, the costume was a bit strange.

Short skirt and garter belt.

And it was an outfit that emphasized the cleavage of the upper body.

I saw the title of the clip.

‘Naharing is being enchanted by the broth…’

In the video, Na Haring was looking at the viewers with a bewitching expression.

She was right next to me now.

Hana Choi from her high school days.

And Choi Hana’s image in the liberal arts department is that of a pretty but cold-hearted girl who is hard to approach.

No one at Theia would have thought that Choi Hana was such a popular vertuber.

And knowing that fact gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.

In fact, Choi Hana, the person in question, was looking somewhere else, perhaps because she was embarrassed.

Of course, his gaze fell on the piece of chocolate cake I was eating.

“Do you want to eat this?”

I also deliberately changed my words to hide my true feelings.

Without thinking much, I took a small piece of cake with my fork and handed it to her.

Then, Choi Hana was more surprised than expected.

“Yes? That… That… Haap!”

Choi Hana put the cake in her mouth.

Then his face turned bright red.

‘Why are you doing that?’

I did it without thinking much.

Seeing Choi Hana so embarrassed made me feel even weirder.

To be honest, I didn’t think much of her because she had such an unpredictable personality.

I thought that perhaps Choi Hana might also be conscious of me.

‘But still…’

There was silence between the two.

Choi Hana gently pushed her smartphone to the side.

As if he was thinking about something, he fidgeted with his fingers.

Then she suddenly asked me.

“I… what if… what if.”

“Huh?”

“Junwoo’s motivation… No, what would you think if an acquaintance of yours was a vertuber?”

“That’s…”

Even if you don’t think much about it, it was about Naharing.

There is nothing bad.

When the blood jaguar starts to become more established than it is now.

I plan to expand my influence as an Unknown in earnest.

TKA TV is basically free in its broadcasting tendencies.

If a blatant villain is broadcast, it will be permanently suspended.

There is no warning specifically for defending the villain.

Of course, there is quite a bit of dark money circulating on the Inbang platform as well.

That’s why the Mungseokkkku crew has recently been taking the lead in content related to the underworld and villains.

For me, if the status of Naharing and Underdolls increases, I will definitely benefit.

‘It would be nice if Underdolls showed a little favor to Unknown.’

In fact, you don’t have to calculate it so coldly.

It was true that Choi Hana, who was active as Naharing, kept becoming conscious of me.

“Well… I guess it’s okay. My friend Jiu also broadcasts on the Internet. The same goes for Ha Ye-eun when she was at Aegis before. Even a vertuber is no different.”

“Really? Well, then I’m glad…”

Choi Hana immediately showed a satisfied expression.

She looks unusually cute like she usually does.

I inadvertently glanced at her.

“……”

So there is silence between the two.

No, there was a strange atmosphere.

Without realizing it, my hand went up onto one of her hands.

And the moment when two people’s hands touched.

Someone’s voice was heard.

“Hanaya! It’s…time to work! I feel like I need to let you know.”

It was Jeong No-eul’s voice.

The cafe was closed because there were no customers already in the evening.

For a moment, Noeul Jeong was going to and from a different floor of the building than the cafe.

Obviously, it was probably because of Underdolls’ broadcast setting.

Choi Hana was startled and hid her hand under the table.

“Ah, I understand. Sister.”

She quickly got up from the chair.

He bowed his head towards me and quickly walked out of the cafe.

Jeong No-eul tilted her head as if puzzled and looked at me.

“Hmm…”

She smiled meaningfully.

Normally it wouldn’t have mattered.

I looked away, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Anyway, as I said before, I think I need to help with the interior design of the office. I won’t be keeping one for too long. I’m studying hard!”

After making me a new cup of coffee, she left.

They both explained to me that since they couldn’t say they were doing a broadcast, they were helping with the interior work of Blood Jaguar.

In that quiet cafe, I thought of Choi Hana again for a moment.

To erase my awkward feeling, I thought about today’s events.

‘It’s not just Choi Hana who has work to do.’

This building also houses Blood Jaguar’s office, that is, Hwang Yong-gyun’s office.

As per the original.

After Blood Jaguar begins its activities, Hwang Yong-gyun is attacked by Mad Knife’s hitmen.

Hwang Yong-gyun is a very important person.

A person who is no different from Choi Hana’s adoptive father.

And he is someone who can become Unknown’s right hand man.

‘It would be better to create a clear relationship.’

I quietly stared beyond the window for a while.

The reason why the study was set for today is that, according to the original work, Friday is the time when the hitman moves.

As expected, a suspicious person was observed in the system.

I carefully took out the Unknown Mask from my arms.
