Chapter 14 : Direct visit service

Direct Visit Service

The first collaboration of LumiLive ended successfully with 30,000 simultaneous viewers.

The success was partly due to the fact that the manager, Flying Cloud’s virtual avatar, was revealed for the first time…

But the biggest impact was, of course, the appearance of Suhyun.

Of course, not everyone had a positive opinion about this massive project called ‘Maruhamun’.

Fortunately, most of the people who liked the YouTuber Killlognote were inspired by LumiLive and became serious Virtual YouTubers, so they kept quiet.

Among them, the majority actually cheered for Suhyun’s appearance.

Wow! Is this a bait for the second generation?

No. It’s just an illustrator with a nice voice.

Hmm. Still, it’s really nice.

The reaction was mostly along these lines. If anything, there was more regret than anger.

The ones really angry were the original Virtual YouTubers who joined LumiLive. These were people who had only come to watch Virtual YouTubers.

Nowadays, there are so many Virtual YouTubers that many specialties like drawing and singing are needed, but…

What first grabs people’s attention is the avatar.

The next thing that draws attention is the voice.

Even though LumiLive auditions required other specialties, the most important thing was the voice.

In other words, the members, who may have seemed a bit lacking, were still elites among the 300 strong voices.

But the mysterious illustrator ‘White Palette’ showed a voice that was no less impressive among them.

No, it could even be said that her voice overshadowed the other members.

If Suhyun had heard this, she might have felt proud, but it wasn’t exactly good news.

For some overzealous VTuber fans, Suhyun’s presence was too much of an intruder.

How dare she overshadow our members’ voices! That was their mindset.

There were the fans who loved the members too much and the original fans who were just happy to see new people.

Although Flying Cloud wielded a sword and couldn’t rampage in chat rooms or fan cafes…

There was an unofficial community of LumiLive that caught their eyes, not the official fan cafe.

That is, in ‘LumiLive Gallery,’ which had no management, explosive reactions were constantly happening.

[General Post] [I was expecting the second official collaboration, but who is this girl?] [39]

(The broadcast capture shows an illustration of a girl wearing a palette-shaped mask, hiding her face)

She just interferes with the atmosphere by doing some drawing stuff.

Even if the broadcast is fine, she keeps stuttering her words, and it’s just… sucks.

Before the broadcast, I should have filtered this type of person out, it pisses me off.

[This guy is just uncomfortable with everything, seriously. Sit up straight, idiot.]

• LumiLive collaborations should only feature the members.
• What, are you going to hold a Minecraft server later or something? Haha.

[Don’t you just watch for the VTubers’ voices? The voice was really nice.]

• This guy is just a buffalo. How important is the bond with VTubers?
• Bond, hahahaha.

[General Post] [The reason I don’t understand these people complaining…] [62]

Do LumiLive members have years of bonds? No. They’re a new group that hasn’t even been debuted for two months.

So did they invite someone totally unrelated to LumiLive? No. It’s much more related to Yui, who designed ‘Mama Im.’

Personally, I think her voice is pure and cute, and when she plays games, she’s cool.

If we just talk about the voice, I think Yui’s Mama, ‘WhitePalette,’ is above the members.

Of course, I’m not saying she should debut.

Unlike the members who were skilled from the first broadcast, she kept stuttering and was introverted except when playing games.

(Clip of White Palette stuttering and being embarrassed)

But who cares, she’s so cute.

If you’re mad, prove it with the viewer count, you idiots.

[Just really cute, and the chemistry was good, so I had fun while these kids complained and got uncomfortable.]

[Ah, my heart’s at ease.]

[Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha.]

[WhitePalette’s voice keeps trembling, and it’s so cute that I wonder if I should go ‘Oshihen.’ Hahaha.]

• This isn’t right…
• What the hell? You were writing praise for her mom just yesterday, what happened?
• It’s like Fentokachi level, hahaha.
• Mom crying, hahaha.

[General Post] [The most pitiful person in this collaboration…] [129]

I had my first knockout with Killlognote last time, and after getting beat 34-4, my self-esteem took a hit.

But I managed to hold on, convincing myself that I lost to a pro gamer.

Then suddenly, this girl called Yui’s Mom (not just ‘mom’) showed up, and I got completely destroyed, haha.

I was so overwhelmingly beaten that after the broadcast, she didn’t post anything on SNS, haha.

When I lost to the boss, I made an excuse saying my condition wasn’t good, but this time, I just posted… one thing, haha.

[Poor, pathetic golden fox…] [Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha.] [Hahaha, I couldn’t stop laughing while watching the broadcast.] [She was really good, it didn’t make sense.] [General Post] [So, is this girl an unknown illustrator????] [215]

(Photo of her achieving an ace in five consecutive rounds during the collaboration.)

(Clip of her dying in Aishao’s ultimate but still killing Misa.)

Seriously, I think Killlognote is inferior to her…

Her voice is great, and she draws well—honestly, isn’t she better than the boss???

[And she’s even a pretty girl, haha.]

• That’s not true.
• Looks like she could fit three Big Macs in her throat.

[Hahaha, what has she been doing instead of broadcasting?]

[If she had debuted as a pro gamer, she would be way more famous by now, hahaha.]

• Looking at her personality, she probably fainted when the crowd cheered and woke up when her teammates were all dead.
• This is correct, hahaha.

Snap.

Creek…

“That’s not true! Puhh… Ugh…”

“Shit. I’m choking.”

Suhyun’s head shook up and down, as she scattered the powdered Nunetti from her mouth everywhere.

With a dry cough, her delicate face twisted.

As the sound of coughing came, the flour that had formed into a snack flew all over the bed.

The culprit, as expected, was none other than Suhyun, who was once again enjoying her hikikomori life in bed.

Though legally an adult, her character was designed with a high school girl concept, making her look very young.

Of course, some parts of her were mature to the point where an onomatopoeia like “bang” slipped out unconsciously.

“Cough… Cough…!”

Wobble wobble.

Her chest, shaking with the cough, would’ve drawn a lot of attention if she were outside. Its shape and size were perfect, enough to earn praise from anyone.

Yes.

But during such a crisis, her beloved compression bandage prevented unnecessary attention… Though, the bandage could cover her chest, it couldn’t stop the particles.

Pssst…

The particles were finely crushed, and they entered the bed sheets, nestled there with expert precision.

It required concentration and was incredibly boring…

The type of work that Suhyun despises the most.

Suhyun frowned at the pitiful state of the blanket.

“Ugh… when am I ever going to clean this up?”

She sighed as she placed the glass of milk next to her.

Since becoming a woman, she had developed tremendous talents in other areas, but her ability to handle daily life had not grown at all.

No, in fact, her abilities had decreased compared to when she was a man.

When she was a man, she at least had some strength, so she could get by with just doing things roughly.

Now, just shaking the blanket would make her shoulders sore, and she would have to lie down with a patch on her back.

Hoping her cooking skills would improve instead of cleaning, she went online to shop for groceries…

But even following Mr. White’s recipe couldn’t help her, and she ended up making black slime.

However, the strength she had when she was a man didn’t really change.

Sometimes, it was amazing how such power could come from such a delicate body, and she exhibited even more monstrous strength than before…

But the lack of exercise as a woman made it impossible for her body to withstand it.

Just a little effort would leave her screaming in muscle pain, collapsing to the ground.

“Right. Cleaning… I’ll just have to do it later…”

Once again, she indulged in her bad habit of pushing all tasks onto her future self.

Suhyun lay alone in bed, eating her human food, Nunetti, with milk. Realizing why Nunetti was called food for pets, she admired the savory taste and smiled.

“Wow. So many posts… It’s amazing…”

If she had known the reaction would be this explosive, she would’ve checked on her computer.

Her existence had caused such a reaction, and somehow, she felt pleased.

She was a typical fool who couldn’t distinguish between bad and good attention.

“Hmmm. Yeah. It was tough yesterday, so maybe I’ll spend some time on the community today…”

Just as she was about to end the day without meaning or purpose…

Ding dong.

“Huh? Is it a delivery?”

Jerk!

Although Christmas had passed, the excitement of waiting for a delivery still lingered, so Suhyun jumped up, wrapped herself in a large robe, and opened the door.

She wondered what kind of delivery she had ordered…

“Wrong. It’s the manager.”

She faced the brightly shining yellow eyes.

The mischievous smile of FlyingCloud, wearing a suit, greeted her.

Unlike her usual cool and street fashion, this was a more restrained style. It was… something… something.

“Ugh…”

Suhyun gulped pitifully and stared at FlyingCloud.

FlyingCloud stared right back at her.

Soon, she gave her trademark sly smile.

“You’re even prettier without the mask.”

Chills ran all over her body.

Ah.

What sin did I commit in my past life?

Her delicate body shivering, Suhyun sighed.
