Ch.355350 – Noname is Nine Years Old

Despite being past midnight, the subway transfer station was still bustling with people.

Busy modern people boarded the driverless subway trains regardless of day or night.

Meanwhile, in the subway waiting area, the advertisements on the transfer corridor stairs, screen doors, and pillar holograms all changed simultaneously as soon as midnight struck.

A group sitting absentmindedly on a bench all stood up together and proudly looked at the advertisements.

[Happy NAME Day]

[2043 06 11]

[Happy Birthday, Name!]

“Wow, our streamer looks so cute.”

“Yawn… I’m glad it turned out well. Shall we disperse now?”

“We should take photos first! Everyone come stand in front!”

NoName’s managers each shared their thoughts and took commemorative photos in front of the hologram advertisement.

Passersby glanced at the advertisement from the corners of their eyes.

[NoName Birthday Ad Tour Review (Warning: Image Heavy)]

Hello, I’m the organizer for NoName’s subway birthday advertisements.

Thank you again to NoName’s fan cafe and the Magic Gallery members who sponsored the advertising costs.

Last year we couldn’t properly celebrate Name’s birthday because of her surgery, so I’m really happy we could do something grand this time.

Here are photos from the main stations I visited:

-Wow, is that amount of ads for real? How much did it cost?

└ More terrifying than the number of ads is that they secured the most expensive spots.

-World-class NoName, damn

-Actually, we almost got Times Square too, but it fell through due to strong opposition from our shy streamer.

└ Times Square? That’s insane lol

└ That would cost like $10,000 a day, international fans are scary

-Why go this far for a child’s birthday when she’s not even a celebrity?

└ Almost everyone from their 20s to 40s knows NoName, isn’t she more famous than most celebrities? (genuinely asking)

└ My parents are in their 50s and they know her.

└ I think almost all teenagers know her too.

└ I’m 12 and everyone in my class knows NoName.

└ 12-year-olds should leave this site;;

[Our Name is ABSOLUTELY NOT World-Class]

[Comments]

-Oh please just admit it already!!!

-Looking at everything together, she’s nothing short of a monster…

-Do the LoL and World fanboys demanding she become a pro gamer have any conscience?

└ LMAO

-I heard she also led the core research for the Pertuzumab treatment.

└ Then add youngest Nature publication too, wow

-I wish Name could be my thesis advisor… I’d happily be her slave for 10 years…

-Add Cannes Film Festival Film Category Co-death Award too

└ Isn’t that the director’s achievement?

One thing’s for sure: even if these guys were reincarnated today, they could never match Name.

[Comments]

-Really making everyone look like commoners lol

-Come on, can Name pick up and throw an elephant with one hand like Buddha? Oh…?!

└ Wait, she might actually be able to?

└ Na-men

Internet culture has its trends.

The topic ignited by Name’s birthday advertisements dominated Korea’s internet world across all communities.

And truly lucky people could spot her at subway stations.

“Oh! Aren’t you NoName? Wow, happy birthday!”

Looking at the subway station advertisements gives me mixed feelings.

It’s a bit embarrassing, but also moving that so many people are celebrating with me.

Last year, hardly any fans recognized me in the subway, but this year is different.

Apparently not everyone in the subway station is a busy modern person.

When fans approached me without hesitation to say hello, I bowed my head in return.

I turned on my stream to create a thank-you video that I’ll upload to VTube later.

[NoName]

[Just Chatting – Short Morning Stream]

[Stream Time – 0:00:32]

[Viewers – 893]

It’s only been 30 seconds, but nearly 1,000 people have already joined.

I quickly turned on the automatic mosaic function to blur the faces of passing pedestrians.

Since it’s a crowded place, most faces except mine appear as blurry afterimages.

-Waaaaa happy birthday Name!!!

-🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

-⋆⸜⊹₊ 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 ¨̮⑅*⸝⋆

-Korea has a god and that god is 9 years old.

-I thought I wouldn’t be able to watch if you streamed at this hour!

-Congrats congrats congrats

-A late-night birthday stream, I knew I could count on NoName!

-Open donations right now!!!!!

“Hello everyone. Thank you so much for celebrating my birthday again. The advertisements look much prettier in person than in real life.”

I turned the camera toward me with the electronic billboard behind me.

“I feel like I’m receiving more love than I deserve for what I’ve actually accomplished, and I wanted to share this joy with my fans, so I turned on the stream for a bit. I have lunch plans with my family, so I’ll probably stream for about an hour. Oh, and I’ve blocked donations since I won’t be able to see the messages, so please understand.”

-Please stream again after lunch

-The ads are truly legendary.

-As someone who attended the fan meeting, you’re much cuter in person!

-Do you know that all communities are flooded with Name posts right now?

-The whole world is Name Name…

-Universe’s strongest genius girl NoName!

Actually, I was on my way from celebrating my birthday with classmates at the Academy this morning.

I’ve been touring various subway stations to help digest the birthday cake I ate in the morning.

I noticed a few people following from a distance, but they seemed to be maintaining their distance so as not to disturb the stream.

“Hmm… so what should we do now?”

-So what are we doing now?

-Impromptu fan meeting?

-Let’s do some busking in the subway.

-A challenge has been presented to genius NoName…!

-Just turning on the stream is content enough.

I was wondering how to spend the remaining hour.

First, I need to keep moving.

If I stay still, I’ll soon be surrounded by people, like what happened at Kyobo Bookstore before.

Thud-

A passing pedestrian suddenly thrust something forward and placed a bill in my hand.

“What is this…”

“A real-life donation! Happy birthday, NoName!”

The pedestrian disappeared into the crowd without looking back, leaving only those words.

I was dumbfounded by this strange encounter while viewers burst into laughter.

It’s not a small amount either.

I fiddled with the 50,000 won bill while getting on the escalator heading to ground level.

Observing the chat carefully, I noticed comments that had been calling me a genius since earlier.

“From now on, I’ll ban comments that praise me too excessively. Let’s be adults who praise children’s efforts rather than their talents.”

As I said that, a good idea came to mind.

I stopped by a stationery store near the station and bought a recorder with the money I had received.

“Here’s your change.”

“Thank you. Have a nice day.”

When I came out of the store, people had already gathered in small groups, forming a circle around the entrance.

“They say there are three types of fools at Korea University. Do you know what they are?”

-Three types of fools? How can there be fools at Korea University?

-LOL no way

-People who brag about being first in high school, people who go to see Korea University festivals, what’s the third one?

“People who walk from Korea University Station to the main gate. Anyone want to exercise with me?”

This way, I can digest the cake I ate this morning, walk with fans in a manageable group, and do some busking along the way to keep things interesting.

A perfect world where everyone is happy.

Checking the map, I saw it would take 30 minutes to the main gate and about an hour on foot to Building 131 where Professor Cheon is, which matched my appointment time well.

I’m confident in my stamina after consistent exercise with Adella.

If it gets too tough, I can always use my aura.

Having a destination made me feel much more at ease.

“Let’s walk to Korea University’s main gate with enthusiasm. I’ll take song requests.”

After I declared I would become one of Korea University’s three fools and started walking, more than half of the people dispersed.

The first song, chosen by vote, was Timmy Trumpet’s ‘Narco Remix ver.2045’.

Searching on VTube, I realized it was a song I’d listened to several times during my streams.

I made a few squeaky sounds with the recorder, but it felt lacking.

So I took out a simple spell formation writer and attached it to the end of the recorder.

[Cast: Wave Transformation]

I filled my cheeks with air and blew forcefully.

Boooom-

A magnificent trumpet sound like a truck horn flowed out.

“How is it? Good, right?”

-Wow, amazing lol

-I didn’t know wands could do that too lol

-You’re going to attract so much attention lol

Shame is reduced when you’re in a group.

Like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, I took the lead with the dozen or so people who remained.

Pam-pa-ba-bam pam-pa-ba-pam-

Pam-pa-ba pam-pa-bam pam-pa-ba-bam-

Despite the short one-minute performance, I could personally experience the enormous amount of attention it attracted.

Drivers waiting for the green light rolled down their windows and gave applause or whistles.

The number of followers increased from fifteen to twenty.

“Let’s see, the next song is… the Soviet March?”

-Who the hell voted for this lol

-Can’t resist this song with a trumpet lol

-Everyone relax! It’s an American song!

-Ah, time to return to socialism…

I took a deep breath and began playing.

This was also a song I’d heard occasionally during streams.

It’s quite shocking that despite being called the Soviet March, the composer is British.

After finishing the first verse and chorus and crossing over a hill, the number of followers exceeded thirty.

Everyone walking in perfect rhythm to the beat was truly a scene of madness.

Fortunately, none of us knew the lyrics.

Otherwise, someone might have seriously misunderstood.

-A song that brings tension to relaxed capitalism.

-I showed this song to a beautiful “me”-person and they became an excellent “we”-person.

-Combat power increased by 140%!!!

-The reason why “we” country unified the three kingdoms.

-(This comment has been deleted by the Party.)

My performance didn’t stop at trumpet sounds.

I led the pedestrians while playing Beethoven’s Virus and various movie and drama OSTs that could showcase the recorder’s original sound well.

By the time we reached Korea University’s main gate, I had completed the journey with 50 people.

“Whew. Good job, everyone.”

Whether long or short, the 30-minute journey made me feel as accomplished as if I’d completed a marathon.

When else would I get to walk here?

“Name, please play one more song!”

A man in the center shouted loudly.

-Can’t you see Name is out of breath!

-Seriously, how many songs has she played to get here?

-Name, you don’t have to if you’re tired…!

Since an encore isn’t too difficult a request, I decided to take one last song request.

“It’s Name’s birthday today, so shouldn’t we all sing the birthday song before we go? Don’t you think?”

“Yeah, that’s right! Good idea!”

“It’s your birthday today? Wow, what perfect timing!”

“If Name plays, we’ll sing along.”

-Nice save

-Turns out we viewers were the fools

-Birthday song echoing at Korea University’s main gate!

-Korea University students waiting for buses must be so confused lol

-I want to be there too!

This is a bit embarrassing even if we’re doing it together.

But when 50 people raise their hands ready to clap, I had no choice.

I detached the wand and began playing with just the pure recorder sound.

“Happy birthday to you-!”

It felt different from being celebrated by friends at the Academy this morning.

Strangers, or rather, people who had probably crossed paths with me online at some point.

“Happy birthday to you-!”

I controlled my overwhelming emotions and smiled brightly while slowly appreciating their expressions.

Before I knew it, Korea University students had all gathered around, and the 50 people instantly swelled to 100.

“Happy birthday dear Name-“

As the notes climbed higher, dissonance emerged here and there.

But those dissonant sounds came together to create another beautiful melody.

Isn’t unexpected fortune called serendipity?

This situation seemed to fit that definition perfectly.

Enjoying this small deviation from the plan,

“Hup.”

I took a deep breath to play the last three measures.

“Happy birthday to you! Woooo Name, happy birthday!”

“Happy ninth birthday! Come visit Korea University again sometime!”

Now I have a story to tell mom tonight.

She’ll probably be very happy to hear it, won’t she?

That so many people are celebrating my birthday.

That there’s a blessing for every child born.
